back with. the british. the french president doubles down on his criticism of nato out in his brain that could be a wake up for the. political top private he operates as it's been ordered to take off the spanish next month and the country's former vice president tells us it's not just the media facing the crackdown. you may already be on the same average she just to create terror in the country 2 people have been killed and there was no investigation trade union leaders are hounded either next on in hiding . and a rally in the french capital to raise awareness of violence against women is that . violence is one that. we talk to one of the women.

and over i was in the range we went to this demonstration because we wanted to defend women's rights the violence against women the protest raises questions and demonstration with the slogan all of us turns out not to be for all of us at all. it's just gone 6 pm here in moscow from myself and everyone in the newsroom thanks for joining us this day. stops for you this hour nato secretary general younes stolt has met with a manual not crawl in paris that's off to the french president caused a stir in the alliance by calling it brain dead stoltenberg how the stress that he claimed when nato achievements. stand off brings us the latest well indeed the true world emanating tension they were trying to keep a straight face with a low. than

a perfect game again even as they were delivering their statements standing shoulder to shoulder to each other it was obvious that one is way more optimistic about nato than the other have a listen nato is a strong alliance but more than that we are adopting it we are agile and we are active so we are responding to a changing world and the reason why nato is the most successful launch of these 3 is that we have been able to change in the world is changing and that's exactly what we have done over the last years that's exactly what we are doing to see questions i asked our open questions that we have not resolved peace in europe i never position the relationship with russia in turkey who is the enemy so until we resolve these issues let us not negotiate whether coasts sharing a burden sharing is there sort of that maybe we need a wake up call. this is effectively the french president refusing to retract his previous comments about nato experiencing brain death this is the exact quote by

him from a couple of weeks ago and that was not the only instance one of the 21 the secretary general of nato and the french president weren't exactly seeing eye it's why for instance young stoltenberg has retreated with peeps at least that while the alliance the allies in the block do have some issues that they do have their differences he reiterated that well they agree on the fundamental issues but nato is relationship with russia is one of those fundamental issues and that's where emanuel mccrone again in on 1st of all those members of the bloc refused to have or any sort of dialogue with russia who refused to see russia as a partner this is where emanuel mccrone called on a more open and a more friendly stance and a more friendly relationship with moscow that. we want to loose it robust and demanding dialogue with russia with neither naivety nor complacency our alliances based on a certain key. in history and geography with the nato secretary general he also

emphasized how he believes that europe is effectively defenseless without nato that europe cannot defend itself well i talked to some of the french citizens and my colleagues in berlin did the same to find out whether or not they realize how crucial nato is for you to be honest. we don't really know whether they do or. was afraid if i came to use matters less fun i found it is not unknown and then to the desire moment to certain countries. i don't know what all achievements were well i think it was necessary after the ball. but nowadays. it's not important anymore i think basically. no war the last. 60 years 70

years i don't know to be honest i don't know since the eastern part of warsaw is down i don't know she needed to natal was historically beneficial for us but of course we have a completely different situation now i should say such public opinion goes in stark contrast with for instance what angela merkel the german chancellor had to say the other day when she said that she believed that nato now is as important if not more important than it was during the cold war and by the way she was also among those who criticize mccrone for his brain comments so clearly today a young stoltenberg and a minor emmanuel mccrone didn't come any closer to resolving their differences but next week nato is celebrating its 70th birthday so we'll see for that parties overshadowed by all the differences that this big family has. now to the headline

story coming from latin america all to spanish will be taken off in bolivia at the start of next month that's according to the country's top private t.v. operator a cubs' amid a violent political crisis in the country during which an unelected government assumed power now that's headed up by right wing sanitation in onions and she's accused of suppressing both the media and supporters of ousted president evo morales the russian foreign ministry has already expressed its concern. i don't think it's a coincidence that r.t. has been taken off air in bolivia it's a consequence of the political course there was declared in the country no reason was given for the decision with no real facts presented we were notified prior to the decision. while no specific reasons were provided and the bolivian t.v. operator us which pretty much excluded our team from their list of channels starting from december the 2nd explained it through some kind of order from what

they called the company's administration this is a decision taken by the company's administration which talks to us with shutting down the channels broadcast is a private t.v. provider and the leader and believe he is cable t.v. market we do have to remember that a similar move has been made by ecuador's public t.v. operator almost 2 weeks ago they cut of r t spanish as well and also demanded explanation for that and still hasn't got it from quito now what's very important here is that the interim leader janine yes was never elected in any kind of vote she basically proclaimed herself the interim president of the country when had to step down when the vice president resigned and when the head of senate resigned now she says that at the moment her goal is to

make sure that new elections are held in the country. that this is the law we believe in swan and we have arrived at this day with the satisfaction of fulfilling that duty because this is the main objective of my government new elections will happen in the shortest time possible but it seems that so far her focus was absolutely different 1st of all she was accused of turning a blind eye on a violent crackdown on the indigenous protesters who are mostly in support of the former leader. but also it seems that all 'd she's been up to is trying to make as many u. turns as possible in the country's foreign policy she appointed a new ambassador to the u.s. for the 1st time in more than a decade and also severed diplomatic ties with bolivia's traditional allies especially. that is with cuba and venezuela other diplomatic personnel representing

migiro divinest while an embassy in bolivia will be allowed to leave the country for having interfered in internal state affairs i do have to say though that eventually interim president on is pushed through a legislature in which allowed a new general election in bolivia although this is something that's going to be boycotted by almost a half of the population the supporters of this say that they are not going to take part in this vote so what kind of general election is that gonna be with almost 50 percent of bolivians deciding not to take part was from just stepped down. off to one of violence which was triggered by claims that his election victory had in fact been wrecked he fled to mexico with many of his party members but in what he described events as a coup. in an era who resigned as vice president just minutes after marotta stepped down talked about the people now in charge and that crackdown on the media.

you lost me or what i mean is that the so-called communications minister warns journalists to be careful because she's going to take down the names of those who step out of line how can you say that to journalists what kind of constitutional freedom can we talk about if they are preventing journalists from doing their jobs from sharing information and telling the truth the country no longer has free speech or a free press. but there was also this insidious craze this after 11 years of the us distancing itself from bolivia the 1st thing that the coup leaders did was to bend the knee and to make overtures to the american government needs to have relations with every part of the world which we also have to build relations based on mutual respect equality and nonintervention in our internal affairs i hope the bolivia successful economic policies will not be revamped at the whim of a foreign power that would without a doubt cause an economic disaster. the only thing they have

achieved is to create terror in the country 32 people have been killed and there was no investigation no one has been held to account or jailed leaders are hounded there either next on the one hiding mass media are gaggle threatened with accusations of subversive activity or sedition it's difficult to engage in peaceful resistance against this regime is hard to say how long this reign of terror will last how long people will tolerate it depends on how events unfold over the next few weeks. for a somewhat lighter note the u.s. president donald trump has hardened to touch he is saving them from being served up for thanksgiving that lots of bread and butter and these pardons are part of the 30 year old white house tradition also he used to cater to that some to about. not while the president likely to enjoy himself the u.s. media has cast a gloomy

a light on the whole the thanksgiving holiday donald quarter explains. right when i say thanksgiving what's the 1st thing that comes to mind turkey p can warm hugs with seldom seen relatives well you can forget all that this year thanksgiving is canceled or at least the media says there's too many pilgrims killing natives involves too many children appropriating indigenous culture a big carbon footprint is left behind and of course peta thinks it's on ethical thanksgiving can be the scariest time of the if you're a turkey moving $45000000.00 of these fascinating birds killed to disgrace thanksgiving tables each year. turkeys you don't want to mess with them not after the toms river turkey rebellion flock of wild turkeys are terrorizing a new jersey community photo show how the 20 plus pound birds can be dangerous blocking traffic on yorktown boulevard some residents feel threatened as they walk

out their door turkey might be the centerpiece of the traditional thanksgiving dinner table but he can is almost just as important to bad this year they're coming from china even a loving embrace could now be off limits next time think twice before hugging your daughter reminder she doesn't owe anyone a hug not even at the holidays they could without even realizing it also the time when you daughter gets their own idea balance concerns and physical affection and the beef gravy on top family chats going around the table and naming what we're thankful for is a great springboard into small talk but with our political climate nowadays it's no doubt a slippery slope into dinner table debates good thing we've got a former state department official to tell us what to do like every family we have people of all political stripes and somehow my loving family members find a way to keep a lid on it at family gatherings that has probably been the saving grace i will be tapping into the common power of

a cocktail i would advice others to do the same thanksgiving is having a tough time finding its place in our new wolk world who knows if we'll even have anything left to celebrate i've never thought about turkeys but they're raised for this purpose they're bred for that purpose my family is a little bit divided religiously but we usually put our differences aside despite the differences that people may have you know they come together and they say what they're thankful for you know with the other aspect of it you know the native americans. take that down as history however in the present day modern time should be no. you know follow along the traditions of thanksgiving i can understand for some people maybe they don't feel the need to celebrate it but i am not everyone so people can do it makes them come to rome rushes the committee says threats to bomb the country for next year's olympics won't stop at the games but story on much more

in just a moment. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to. let you go right to be close this is like the full story in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the lawyers in the. city. in a world of 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 smarter 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. welcome back and that's how to over to fraud some romney to raise awareness all violence against women and stay has been mauled by classes. ah. several women from a feminist group called nemesis collective joined the march they were holding clark

and saying that 52 percent of rapists are immigrants a figure taken from the $24000.00 saudi movement criticizes lax migration policies in france saying it's women who suffer as a result some of the other demonstrators didn't like their presence there and started booing and tearing up. a video from march 1 viral and led to a wave of online threats against the nemesis activists they were branded fascists out of folks and even racist the group later released a statement saying other feminist just want to silence them we talk to one of the novices activists who asked us to distort her voice in order to hide her identity. we arrived at the demonstration with our plan cards and started to protest and within minutes other demonstrators saw a mass of sham placards it was clear just quickly we wanted to cross in a calm way now we are freed we know that our masses she's truthful but there are

people who are aggressive to us the violence against women the protest raises questions and demonstration with the slogan all of us turns out not to be for all of us at all since we have been treated like fascists i'm asking what is the basis for this do this women nor the definition of fascism i am angry about this attack being treated in that way we have feminist movement we denounce any kind of violence people speak about freedom of expression but do they mean it we have questions to women who pretend to be feminists who say that they represent other women we got the chance to speak to another never says activist who told us that rape best of my current origin are simply not prosecuted enough she also asked to remain anonymous. i was in the rage we went to this demonstration because we wanted to defend women's rights we think not enough was said on the subject of migration and when they attacked us like we were fascists it just shows that they attack themselves it is a real problem that in france

a woman cannot go out on the street where she wants because of migrants when i am on the street i'm often harassed by men and their nationalities obvious rapists of migrant origin is not prosecuted enough we need to tell the world that everyone should be punished regardless of their skin color there are several types of threats that we get on social media were accuse of fascism and racism these people from the far left do not want to accept the reality they want to prevent us from speaking up. another big story to say china has summoned the u.s. ambassador off to donald trump signed to a controversial bills in support of the hong kong protesters basing says it amounts to into ferrets and has threatened the u.s. with consequences. move on. the u.s. has been disregarding the fact distorting the truth openly backed violent criminals who rampantly smashed the cities started fires salted innocent civilians trample on

the rule of law and jeopardized the social order it's any ms to undermine hong kong stability and prosperity sabotage the practice of one country 2 systems and disrupt the chinese nations endeavor to realize the great and you'll remind the us that hong kong is part of china and hong kong affairs the chinese internal affairs where no foreign government or force shall interfere this act will only further expose the malicious and hedge monic nature of us intentions we urge the us not to continue going down the wrong path with china which it countermeasures and the us must bear all consequences. the hong kong human rights and democracy act opens up sanctions for human rights violations and makes it easier for arrested protesters to obtain u.s. reserves it also requires an annual review of the region's special trade status and hong kong will qualify only if it has enough autonomy from beijing this could pose a threat to the city's position as

a global financial center if hong kong's special status is revoked it would be subject to the same sanctions imposed by the u.s. on mainland china the same goes for trade tariffs as well as banking restrictions limits could also potentially be placed on sensitive technology sold to hong kong now the city's economy is already suffering as a result of the violent protests that have been raging for almost half a year companies and investors are setting their sights on more stable places such as singapore tourists are also staying away we discuss the situation with antiwar activists are flounders and professor of political science at hong kong city university of. this probably has a strong long term impaired the chinese authorities are concerned. with the donald trump administration's use of human rights issues to exert pressure

on china starting world if students in jan now in hong kong and so on the chinese leadership is also concerned with the strong kenyan support for human rights issues in china including the crisis in hong kong they believe get in the coming presidential hit action can be done will trump i mean decision will come out come monday in pleasing operate. in the united states and this luis is trying to stir them and. what is c aim of this sanctions it really is an effort to totally sabotage hong kong demonstrators they're not demanding democracy imagine they're demanding sanctions on their own city sanctions everywhere in the world is economic warfare and it's strangulation why on earth would anyone in hong kong make

a demand that sanctions be passed on hong kong there is an inch and they may not be aware these are young people without a future. and that's because of what has been imposed on them from the west. ham to round off the put aside for the russian olympic committee says there are no objective obstacles to its national team taking part in next year's olympics it adds that it remains a full participant in the olympic movement now this statement comes ahead of a wild anti doping agency decision the agency's compliance review cuba committee recommended that russia be banned from hosting international tournament for 4 years r.t. . reports what we have seen here today at the russian olympic committee is basically a display of defiance in the face of a looming possibility that not only russia could be banned from next summer's olympic games in tokyo but also a ban from hosting and participating in all major sports event across the planet

for the next 4 years now the chairman of the russian olympic committee said that despite all the ramblings happening in the media and the world of sports these days the russian olympic team will still be continuing their preparation for next summer's olympic games in tokyo let's listen only peacekeeping media that i see the olympic committee of russia will continue to operate as normal for the olympic games in 2 q the olympic committee of russia is not the target of any proves or allegations from any of the global sports organizations hence the olympic committee of russia as a full member of the olympic committee of the olympic movement who prepared the. for the ticket games in line with the olympic charter now all this follows a very turbulent week when it comes to the future of russian sports ever since the compliance review committee of the world anti-doping agency voiced allegations of tampering with the dope ing samples in the moscow aborts already the executive committee itself said that russia could participate in next summer olympics games as neutral zone and the other flag at the same time some anti-doping agencies in

the world particularly the u.s. anti-doping agency is calling for a blanket ban on the russian olympic team next summer water must get tougher and impose the full restriction on russian athlete participation in the olympics that the rules allow the failure to stand up to russia's 5 year flaunting of the rules would cause even more harm to athletes in and outside of russia the time for the toughest penalty available is now clear that there's a lot of pressure mounting right now the decision has not yet been made by water but there we can already already see some shock waves but secondly when it comes to the world athletes of the europe athlete of the year. who has now been officially banned from participating in next summer's atlantic championships in glasgow that is something that the british athletics association confirms to. of course we are waiting for december the 9th when that decision will be made in paris and we will

definitely be on top of that story that's how the news is shaping up today i'll be back in half now with the course but to tie to a front tell that has the kaiser report. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see that. this is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills a young girl in the streets. what happens to her family and daughters in florida the mother daughter is buried in a cemetery it really messes with your head what happens to the community the public

was screaming for a scapegoat the police needed a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pin this on than him and what happens in court he be. shot after shot as far as society we feel. we don't know she'll just stroke on. the end of this trial unfortunately you 2 will still not know what childress. max kaiser this is the kaiser report you know one of the same to talk about on the show if you read the financial press about the latest scandal it's just

a new name for a recurring scale like there's only 3 or 4 ways you could rip people off though as it changes is the name that you call to rip people off more on this now with stacy well we're going to talk about the for ever war as we have the forever war that is the global war on terror and the extreme costs from that and we have the forever war against the black hole of debt that is consuming the global economy and it's been consuming the global economy essentially since 2000 but especially 20082009 we're throwing more and more and more and more of our wealth and our assets in our future into this hole and it's costing us forever more but 1st we're going to start with the context the an allergy to provide us with an understanding of this financial work because the finance stuff is harder most people think to understand but they they understand good old fashioned war you know you invade a country shoot them you kill the people and you won right and you take their resources and you want well forever war in the last 20 years cost $6.00 trillion

dollars since $911.00 the cost of forever war total $6.00 trillion and $800.00 or $1000.00 killed including 335000 dead millions for what asked miss shedd luck so he's looking at that brown and boston university joint study from 2 professors at those locations who are looking at the actual costs of war and you know it's always been put between somewhere between 2 and 6 trillion and here these 2 professors they really dug down into some of the data and they said why people were confused about what the cost was was that $1.00 potential barrier for civilians to understanding the total scale and cost of the post 911 wars is the changes in the naming of the war is the u.s. military. doesn't gates mean war zones in afghanistan pakistan iraq and syria as named operations the longest war so far in afghanistan and pakistan has had 2 names operation enduring freedom designated the 1st phase of war in afghanistan from october 2001 it was designated operation freedom's sentinel on the 1st of january

2015 the war in iraq was designated operation iraqi freedom from march 2003 to 31st of august 2010 when it became operation new dawn when the u.s. began to fight in syria and iraq the war was designated operation inherent resolve for ease of understanding the costs are not labeled here by their designation but by major wars and so they keep on changing the name of the war right well we know from sociologists and consumer scientists and marketeer that the most psychoactive word in the human sub conscious and conscious mind to get them interested in buying something is new. new and improved right those 2 words trigger a response like oh i might buy something of it's new so the marketers and the profiteers who run america's defense policy embrace this idea and so like instead of saying new coke is something do.
