you're watching our 2 international bring you your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. what amir putin has spoken at the economic forum a russia calling the global and national economy sanctions and international actions where they focus across life now to our notion of who has all the bells so what dominated the discussions. hi tech lane well widely reported has been unser in questions from participants of the 11th annual russia calling investment for a hit moscow they say are the event gathered guests from 80 countries for almost 2 hours and i have to tell you not all of them were purely about money but a lot about politics i can say sions of russia medlin aim to well basically everybody is the fairies and what is known commonly as a russian threat or on topics brought up. till now the us has been saying that it is an umbrella giving protection to europe from the soviet menace

but you have to pay for this however nowadays it doesn't work despite all the problems in ukraine all the speculations around crimea in donbass everyone clearly understands that russia is not going to invade anyone and it is nothing but nonsense it is a myth made up by those who are trying to gain benefits from their roles as vanguards fighting against russia but it was just feingold nobody accuses us of meddling in the u.s. election anymore now they accuse ukraine well ok it's their business. but of course talking economy can hardly avoid discussing the euro economic sanctions the us keeps imposing on russia and it's a facts on global economy is there any hope it can be lifted any time soon was a question from an american businessmen. if we talk about sanctions in the perspectives of lifting them this is not a juicy here but it was the us administration about this it was the us congress

which imposed them not us 1st of all it forced us to implement the substitution of imported goods in those sectors which are closely tied to our national interests and security is a very wide range of sectors agriculture medicine pharmaceuticals armaments and we've reached a very good and positive results so i would like to thank all the people my colleagues those unknown people that work at their places i see it as a boomerang effect many u.s. companies and. yes a lot of money in this or that project but then had to cancel them so they lost punish themselves during trump's presidency our trade turnover with the us has reached $25000000000.00 the same number we have with turkey not so much you see but at the same time we have many common interest with the u.s. and it seems that report inspiring to view shared by many including global business and international financial media just recently forbes published an article calling russia bullet proof and claiming its market is doing better than chinese or

american surprisingly despite all the restrictions the magazine added that russia has over $541000000000.00 u.s. dollars in foreign currency reserves and the largest gold reserves in one emerging markets with russian bonds becoming increasingly attractive pain considerably more interest than for example u.s. ones but all in all as the participants hope this forum here in moscow agreed it wasn't just about how attractive russian economy is but it was an all honest professional conversation how to act together globally to make global market balanced back to you maria for national thank you for bringing us that report we're now joined live by roberto de ambrosio c.e.o. of x. your global live comment on this now do you agree with that forbes article that has dubbed the russian economy as bullet proof. well it just so to misanthropes through to yes russia as shown quite some remarkable signs of

stability on their currency which is now who would it be around $60.00 to $65.00 and has been trading in a narrow channel for a long time and well as your reporter mentioned the fact that all these gold reserves and i would add also the level of interest rate that russia can enjoy now which gives a lot of buffer to russia also to adjust is its monetary policy and absorb shocks that we are actually looking ahead in there in 2020 at that most probably would hit the financial markets so all distinct of course reserved to russia quite a place in any in any portfolio from a professional to to an ordinary investor i mean these bonds returning 4 folds their returns over the u.s. one and. well if you compare to europe we actually negative especially on the let's say the german lawns well it makes sense there's also the claim that russia is

essentially debt free is that an accurate description. while it is if you look at the debt to g.d.p. ratio absolutely yes you know that for example europe is plucked by very high debt to g.d.p. ratios in some countries like italy where i reckon from. and all countries like even countries like spain which has performed pretty well they started with a low that g.d.p. ratio and now they're on their almost reach $100.00 going to 3 folds what they had before while russia now is enjoying again a very low level not that that actually can be backed up completely by the central bank and its reserves and we and how is that important is that for russia's economy . what of course it is very important because again it makes it makes it more resilient and you can see very clearly from the way to stock market has performed and again the stability l.z.

of the currency of course russia has some. more sensitivity to the price of commodities especially oil and that could cause some let's say some some considerable eats if the if day economy really takes a downturn but still again in abundance portfolio russia has its own place and needs to be there because of the eerie spring file of the country putin said that sanctions are essentially backfiring on the west that they're missing out on investments do you agree with that absolutely yes i've been speaking to our the about this during this years in which we have been talking and i'm always been very critical to this approach to you know to to to deal with problems through to sanctions they backfire look at now for example in a merely in the u.s. and germany is suffering a lot of the trade balance and it would rush as reduces or almost very very little

figure same we need to leave and this is actually back to your those countries germany is on with a face of technical recession and the not having the possibility to you know to diversify its exports and imports with countries like russia of course it backfired and unfortunately the european side had to be to endure. it's questionable if we had some. extent they are really willing to endure this situation with this sanction with russia but of course ease these ups was you're right it backfires of course the heat's on russia but it's a lot on many countries that had a very healthy trade relations with russia. roberto's ambrosio c.e.o. of x. your global thank you so much for joining us on the program today thank you for having me. the protests and bolivia are intensifying with demonstrators denouncing what they call a coup against the country's former leader evo morales he resigned 2 weeks ago on the advice of the country's military and was granted asylum in mexico meanwhile

clashes with police centered around the capital have left $27.00 dead and hundreds more injured supporters say security forces are being heavy handed. but that we want justice from this president how we she sent a military police to kill us like animals if we're human beings we're not animals for them to kill us like that. oh. yes we come in i would like publicly to denounce the killings that the military police are carrying out this self declared president and her killer cabinet ministers and criminals this is what the country's getting because that's. the stuff we're going to have he was you need 9 years because she's issuing decrees

authorizing the military and police to killers without there being any justice conservative senator jeanine anos has proclaimed herself interim president of bolivia although she's not recognized by politicians loyal to him or ellis on thursday she issued a controversal to create protecting the military from criminal prosecution when maintaining public order bolivian security forces have sent helicopters and armored vehicles to disrupt a weeklong blockade by protesters at a major fuel plant it's led to fuel and food shortages during the operation of one person has been killed and 8 injured human rights groups are urging bolivia to repeal its new release in the new law. the current social political and human rights crisis and believe runs the risk of deteriorating is authorities continue to respond in a violent manner to criticism protests media scrutiny and violence by 3rd parties meanwhile the u.s. secretary of state has commented on the rallies taking place across the globe but not those in bolivia. did it praised for expelling hundreds of cuban officials and

doctors from the country quarter looks at washington stance on world protests from latin america to the middle east. lebanon's countrywide protests are rapid over a month ago. the united states will continue to stand alongside the lebanese people the protesters are accusing government officials of widespread corruption and hold them to blame for failing to put the brakes on a deepening economic crisis washington's made it clear it thinks those are injustices worth fighting against not too different from its stance on hong kong. insurrection began in june against a law that would have allowed extradition of hong kong as criminals to the mainland . chinese communist party must honor

its promises to the hong kong people who only want the freedoms and liberties that they have been promised in the no british joint declaration over the past several months there have been thousands of injuries and arrests it's been a big challenge for beijing but for washington an opportunity the u.s. state department says the protesters are fighting for freedom and democracy just like the ones in iran. iranians flooded on to the streets on friday after a massive price hike for petrol. is one of the public must sees violence against its own people and the world watching the government denounce those rioting and the people in washington who contributed to the crisis with crippling sanctions it might seem like the u.s. just loves to support chaos wherever it may be but sometimes the government accused of injustice is a friend take chile. monday marks one month since

the beginning of nationwide protests against rampant economic inequality thousands of chileans rallied across the. tree to commemorate that day i. so far 2 dozen people have been killed and thousands arrested washington's reaction a travel warning bolivia is a pretty similar situation. the country's been gripped by protests in support of its recently ousted socialist president abel morales. the state department hasn't had anything to say about that they instead backed the

new regimes claim that cuba is somehow to blame for bolivia's problems live in a joint brazil in ecuador in recognizing the cuban threat to freedom bravo bolivia and one protests were taking place against morales washington had something else to say the united states applauds the bolivian people for demanding freedom around the world protests continue to rage for the u.s. it's a great time to fuel the fire of popular anger if it's for the right reasons of course the united states can hold go good or in other parts of the world like the middle east the show you just left the united states is very much supportive of any of it on his ngs those who called. reach out and trying to destabilize the world who come close to the they will do the stabilized course in bolivia they were extremely important to overthrow. so.

it will be in a moment when there are people who get to borrow a load of bolivia well united states totally switches. begins to support the government or the. old. efforts or which is supporting but i don't believe that anybody who was trained in the united states. you may have noticed a new feature we've started this week certain stories have a q.r. code alongside them which you can use to get more information on that story so if you get the chance to give it a go for now a short break. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person or those.

thinks. we dare to ask. them 1st to impeach and remove donald trump from the presidency have clearly divided the country this should not surprise anyone trump is probably the most divisive public figure of our time however all this division over a single person is changing and even damaging institutions is impeachment the normal.

welcome back the journalism community and france is in shock after one of their members was left with severe facial injuries while covering the 1st anniversary of the yellow bus march as he claims he was hit by a tear gas grenade during an encounter with police and warning you may find the following images disturbing. come. to. the touch. as if you didn't these awful fault when you thought of that all those clashes between protesters and police officers when

a grenade exploded next to me and then another one just 3 also meters from me apparently it was a july and for an instant to gas grenade i'm still trying to verify this information then apparently they hit me with the same kind of grenade right in the face it exploded into my gas mask it smashed my plexiglass my eyes and that's how i was injured in the nose and on the upper lip how to be wearing a gas mask with plexiglass protection i doubt i would have escaped this unscathed because a sore in hospital how bad the injured some of the other protesters were. they all of us rallies are a protest movement taking aim at present manual across policies that began in response to now scrapped fuel price hikes and then broadened to include a number of other social and political grievances the protests are the most violent and recent french history with frequent clashes with police many have been caught in the crossfire.

there's a. look at. a journalist who was injured at the anniversary rally believes there is no justification for the police using quote weapons of war. i was angry with the police because they should only defend themselves like this when the situation gets out of hand but to use such a powerful weapon that they can't properly control after all they can injure journalists and peaceful citizens passing by they can also seriously injured demonstrators and i'm not sure that using this type of weapon is necessary you should know that this kind of grenade is classified as a military weapon for me they are weapons of war and i will go to court i've already filed a complaint and i will also follow a complaint with the inspector general of the national police but i think that even

with all the evidence the investigation will be stopped just like the other ones. they had of the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons has signed an open letter urging the watchdog to give to whistleblowers a platform at its next conference that was a blow as claimed the o.p.c. w. suppressed evidence and a probe into an alleged chemical attack on the syrian city of duma last year. has more. 7th of april 2018 terrible images flood the internet the news people civilians suffocating with symptoms of nerve agent poisoning the alleged aftermath of a chemical attack in syria with it week cruise missiles flying in syria. first they launch the missiles and then investigated who it was that they should

have targeted it took a year for the u.p.c. w. to compile a report where they said that they found traces of chlorine with strong indications that the gas containers were dropped from the air done and done today's o.p.c. w. final report on the 7th of april 2018 attack in duma confirms chemical weapons used demonstrating the vital importance of the o.p.c. w.'s work this confirms chlorine attack was only the latest example of the assad regime's chemical warfare attacks on its own population except it isn't done its own raveling to whistleblowers involved in the investigation and now come forward alleging irregularities and suppression cherry picking of actual findings the 1st contest that the u.p.c. ws acetate and that the gas canisters would dropped rather than placed at the scene

observations of the scene of the 2 locations suggest that there is a higher probability that both sooners were male the police had those 2 locations rather than being delivered from aircraft the 1st whistle blower was allegedly an outside contractor according to the 2nd whistleblower a member of the team which was on the ground the collecting samples is that the u.p.c. w. took into account. some findings more than they did others most of the duty and focus he reports on the incident the interim report in the final report was scientifically impoverished procedurally irregular and possibly fraudulent the whistleblower who was identities being kept secret for his safety featured at a high profile conference in brussels and his testimony appears to be much more damning than the 1st whistle blowers professor richard fall cause there at the conference where the whistleblower spoke professor what pushed him to come forward

what was the gist of it well essentially he presented evidence testimonials to the a theory that the report final report could not be justified in the form that it was submitted and that it been tempered with in such a way to create a set of conclusions that corresponded with what. the u.s. . british truants it would be the outcome of an investigation but the evidence didn't support better remember the rebel videos we talked about with victims showing symptoms of nerve agent poisoning it was most likely staged no nerve agent was found by the u.p.c. w. what they found traces of chlorine the symptoms of chlorine poisoning are different

traces of chlorine if the finding of these chemicals at the alleged site is to be used as an indicator that chlorine gas was present in the atmosphere they should at least be shown to be present at levels significantly higher than what is present in environments already they weren't all that the u.p.c. w. said that that that is chlorinated organic chemicals which are everywhere. all around us in our drinking water the difference is in the event of a chemical attack they would be in a much higher concentration and for whatever reason new p.c. w. didn't say what that concentration was not who was the public not even to their own inspectors but when the analysis of these key levels came back from the laboratories the results were cancer sammy barrick at unison who was the doom of fact finding missions leader against normal expectations they were not passed on to the inspector who was drafting the a.b.c.

w.'s interim report on duma the inspectors tested the victims the whistleblower said their blood their head and found nothing no nerve agent no chlorine in levels that would indicate a chemical attack nothing which raises an important question professor didn't the whistleblower come across as political perhaps with a bias. none that i could detect and he seemed very much like. international civil servant a technocrat but i think this central underlying difficulty was that the evidence of the. gases that were alleged to be used didn't seem to be to correspond with what the inspectors found and that there was a discrepancy between. the information that was

contained in that report about these 2 projectiles that supposedly had evidence of chlorine being used and the indication that they were placed there and didn't fall there by the means that the report described apparently the management ignored not only the inspectors findings but also their concerns for senior. colleague told us 1st of all management says the credibility we have to have a smoking gun and look how that turned out u.p.c. w is coming apart at the seams that let's hold off jumping to conclusions unlike united states and pals are rather wait for our answers and the truth before launching anything at the u.p.c. w. that's our global news wrap up for now but i'll be back at the top of the hour with the latest thanks for tuning in.

you know world's big partisan movie lot 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 smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's target 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. descriptions sound up to tasing even for the owners so how to choose his pet food industry is telling us what to feed our pets really more based on what they want to sell us and then what's necessarily good for the pet turns out that food may not be

a sophie best people belief we have animals that have you know diabetes in arthritis they have auto immune disorders they cut allergies we are actually creating these problems and it's a huge epidemic of problems all of them i believe can be linked to very simple problem of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets less treats the larger corporations are not very interested in truth or disproving the value of their food because they're already making it a $1000000000.00 on it and there's no reason to do that research.

hello and welcome to cross talk where all things considered i'm peter lavelle efforts to impeach and remove donald j. trump from the presidency have clearly divided the country this should not surprise anyone trump is probably the most divisive public figure of our time however all this division over a single person is changing even damaging institutions is impeachment being normalised. across talking impeachment i'm joined by my guest r.c. maxwell in phoenix he's a republican strategist and the state director of the black conservative federation in washington we have christopher barron he is a conservative strategist as well as the president of right turn strategies and in st paul we cross to david schultz he is a hamelin university professor of political science all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means he can jump in and out in time any time you want by christopher let me go to you 1st in washington d.c.

i watched some of the hearings they're very boring frankly i don't really know what they're talking about i don't see the purpose of it here but one thing that i find really disturbing during all of it is because i know a lot about ukraine i live in this part of the world i follow it very very carefully the people testifying about ukraine their ukraine firster is they don't know much about the country that that's a double whammy for me not only is that useless what they're saying is useless but the outcome of all of this i think is a much bigger more worrisome picture here as the last line in my introduction impeachment is becoming normalized if you look at the founders you look at the. the federalist papers this was supposed to be an extreme remedy it looks like that's a longer the case and i really fear for the republic if this is good the way it's going to be done there's no crime this is an investigation in search of a crime chris for go ahead absolutely look.
