the french president doubles down on his criticism of nato in his brain and dreadlocks could be a wake up call for the military block. german court rules a convict's can have his online details are raised under the use of right to be forgotten we put the issue up for debate. the problem is when you start you historic events then. i mention this person trying to better themselves trying not trying to raise the past the trying to be given a fair shot the way of thinking you don't want clean slate start again me now not then. and the rally in the french capital to raise awareness of violence against women is itself violence as one from this group clashes with another one of the

women who took part. in the i was in the rage 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 it's all. we're going to do thanks for joining us here are not. nato secretary general book but with emmanuel in paris after the french president calls the stir in the alliance by calling it a brain that however stressed what he claimed were nato's achievements. as the latest. well indeed the 2 were emanating tension as they were trying to keep a straight face with a less than a perfect game again even as they were delivering their statements standing soldier

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 2 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 kostas sharing a burden sharing is there sort of that if need be we need a wake up calls of the 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 repeated leave 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 do. i like with russia with neither naive view to nor complacency our alliances based on a certain common 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 all right it was straight or i became ill treatment less fun or founded is 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 course was

always 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 criticized mccraw on for his brain comments so clearly today young stoltenberg anemone 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 difference is that this big family has. a convicted murderer in germany has won the right to have his name and the details in

race from web searches under the right to be forgotten the man was convicted of a double murder back in 1902 and served 20 years in jail the case it is name were widely reported in the media and claims his right to privacy and ability to develop his personality have now been infringed in a nice ice court agreed tech giants like google will now have to remove the man's details from search results. the european law states that any european citizen can ask for links containing sensitive information to be raised from search engines since being an actor to 2014 google says more than 800000 requests have been made to remove more than 3000000 web pages earlier our guest debated the case. well they certainly deserve a 2nd chance but what they don't deserve is to have the historic crimes of they've gone wiped off that no one can find them this is clearly an attack on free speech freedom of information and international censorship because the the rights of those

that he killed the families the victims should never be forgotten but what he wants to do he wants his past to be completely wiped clean but once you start to we historically vents then you're. rewriting what historic what history was this person should have a slave why clean on the fact that the still showing up he's going to be discriminated against or it could push him back into a life of crime if he's not given the right to leave his old life by law behind if you go for a job you still got suits you still got to give your past previous convictions which will discriminate against you anyway but the thing is there's no point releasing the individual from prison if he's still going to die if you still want to live in the past i'm all for giving a 2nd chance and like say the rehabilitation of offenders should should help sometimes it's down to employers having confidence in the judicial system to corrective behavior for people to come out a changed person and sometimes you need confidence in businesses to give

a chance but the problem is when you start to hide your historic events then that adds another dimension to the people will look into employer if he's trying to hide this what else is he trying to hide this person trying to better themselves the trying not trying to raise the past the trying to be given a fair shot at the way of thinking you know what clean slate start again this is me now not then do you want to raise the party can change names always off the internet could just change a name if they want to eventually like let me you're right they want to keep repeating yourself but the fact is you can change your name and you can just do exactly that anywhere. i change my name for example when i drove on is called you can have a go at the opera not with. no if you if you actually go for jobs where they need to do certain disclosures 'd because of the certain criteria you have to say 50 or you know by other names so that they can do a proper search yet serve you serve you that society you released as

a new person with hopefully with a new mindset you should be given every opportunity so that your past is stricken from the record like i believe it should go in for jobs it will always come up so there's no getting away from it just about being a new person pretty pretty projecting itself in a different light and trying to become a productive member of society the criminal may have served the time they may want to move on the families can't move on is still there and the should never try and wipe it because if this try and hide their past what else are they going to try to hide in the future. but all trump has made a surprise visit to u.s. troops in afghanistan for thanksgiving it's terms 1st visit to the country where he met with the afghan president ashraf ghani for talks before addressing the military some suggested that the taliban are open to discussing a ceasefire. is. very

low numbers we have that totally taken care of an aversion. will see what happens the taliban wants to make a deal we'll see if they want to make a deal it's going to be a real deal but we'll see. it on the vine now by karen retired u.s. air force lieutenant colonel welcome karen does this increase the chances do you think of an afghan peace deal trump making this visit which you know it's a big holiday in america seems like a quarter of an effort for him to make this. yes it is somewhat traditional for presidents to travel into the. u.s. combat zones if you will on this holiday and also on christmas this is something that they do very often they travel secretly for security reasons just as trump did this time but i do think i do think it helps because he is he didn't send pompei oh he came him self when he was he appeared publicly with the elected afghan leader

who. they they kind of the u.s. kind of slighted those guys in previous work so it seems like they're trying to reboot it and i do think there's a chance for i mean we're wasting american dollars in lives in afghanistan truck ran on a platform of bringing the troops home he's got less than a year left to show that he can do that so i think he is motivated i know he said he doesn't care if there's a deal he does care if there's a deal and i think that his presence there does mean something so you think do you think it is more than just a tradition is seeing u.s. troops on a major hole do you think he actually is actively pursuing peace still. well i think you know we were we know how it works in washington with trump he is surrounded by people who don't really do what he tells them to do who don't share his particular foreign policy outlook he kind of has to do it himself if he wants to get it done that we've seen that before if north korea and other places so yeah

it means something he does do the foreign policy it actually is ringback kind of funny because the ukrainian issues the the the democrats are working in impeachment back home based on the president conducting foreign policy which is in fact something that that he has actually done he's authorized to do he is the top you know guy to speak for the united states and he actually does that and he's doing it here with the taliban and of course with the elected government of afghanistan. you know it's very complicated very complex but yes i think he's serious and i think this helps just a week ago the taliban freed some western hostages is that enough to suggest like trump that the taliban's moving towards a cease fire. if you think about the length almost 20 years of war and they had 20 years before that with the russians very very little times of peace in afghanistan i think they're ready for peace and productivity. you know we certainly

the united states is not going to do 30 years in afghanistan 20 years is enough. there's no desire for that i think even the corporate defense folks have made the money that they think they can make it's time to leave afghanistan is long overdue and trump i think is the guy to do it and it is kind of said that he can't send the state department to actually do the work that they're supposed to do and instruct his military to do what they're supposed to do and they don't do it so i respect the guy for going in for for doing it i think he has to no one else will i mean can you imagine john bolton participating in something like this no never in pompei is not much better so i'm glad he went he he used the opportunity to to do a couple different jobs because meeting the troops that the holiday is is a very important thing that president to do and trump has always. tried to do that

he hasn't missed any holidays as far as i know so that's certainly part of it but yeah he's serious. i think i think there's a chance in and the other thing is if trump is weakened in such a way this coming year in 2020 and he does not gain reelection this is something the taliban has to think about because the next person may be worse than chop if you can imagine that and their thinking is also so i mean i think it's a good it's a good time 2020 might be a good year for for us to get out of there and you think you follow through on my promise to slash troop numbers in afghanistan to actually do that. well he's been trying to do it everywhere in small ways and every time that he takes troops out or announces a small small reduction of troops the defense industrial complex the congressional complex goes ballistic on him they do not support that this is something that you

know average americans you know we support you know we support bringing the troops home but congress does not in as a whole neither does the money that pays for our congress they don't support it so whatever he offers to bring a few home a couple 1000 a couple 100 he faces criticism it's almost as if being in the same pietschmann process no matter what he does he realizes he will be criticized he might as well just do what he wants to do and what what trump wants to do and has wanted to do for over a decade if you read what he's written and how he ran a screen for president what he wants to do is bring our troops home so i take him seriously and i i think it's great that he did this i certainly was surprised as anyone else at this news but i'm glad to hear it and i wish him you know good wishes and i hope we hope he succeeds in what he's trying to take. care and great speed to some interesting analysis folk our task in my guest retired u.s. air force lieutenant colonel. thank you. to raise

awareness of violence against women in paris and south that has been marred by clashes. was. several women from a feminist group called nemesis collective joined the march they were holding placards saying 52 percent of rapists are immigrants that's a figure taken from a 2014 survey the movement criticizes lax migration policies in france saying women suffer as a result some of their the demonstrators didn't like their presence started to boo them and. the video from the march went viral leading to a wave of online threats against the nemesis activists they were branded fascists and folks and racist groups later released a statement saying other feminists want to silence them we talked to one of the nemesis activists who asked us to distort a voice to hide her identity. at all.

we arrived at the demonstration with our plaque cards and started to protest and within minutes other demonstrators saw a massive jump lockhart's it was collated quickly we wanted to cross in a calm way now we have prayed we know that our message 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 are being 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 are the women. activists or. the rapists of migrant origin and not

prosecuted enough she also asked to remain anonymous. i was in the range 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 in social media work use 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. 26 people are confirmed dead after one of the bloodiest days in the ranks anti-government rallies. i.

come out against highly employed widespread corruption and the lack of basic services the country's military announced the creation of crisis cells as well as an emergency army unit to deal with the unrest 1300 people have died thousands more have been injured since the rallies began last month. protesters also stormed the consulate of iran in the holy city of the just setting the building on fire they swapped the iranian flag for an iraqi one amid shouts of a run out of the sponsor authorities declared a city wide journalist an al monitor content into early risks told those outside forces them a little outing iraq. it's interesting when they say that you know there's when the americans say that there's a rainy and influence or any intervention you know america basically is an occupying force and america is miles and miles away so you know it's i think it's

very strange to hear an american statements about iran intervening some of these protesters who went bird the burn the iranian consulate i mean ok what about the here are the americans what about the american role what about the saudi role like what we're seeing clearly is you know certain anti iranian regional powers and world powers are taking advantage of this movement to steer this protest movement into an anti iranian direction basically taking advantage of the some popular demands to settle some old scores. u.s. president on term please pardon 2 turkeys saving them from being served for thanksgiving like a bed sick or bread and butter the pardons are part of a 30 year old white house tradition simple so you see occasion to correct some jokes about impeachment the president joining him selfe u.s.

media's cast a somewhat gloomy lights on the whole thanksgiving holiday what he's done a quarter explains. 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 peter thinks it's on ethical thanksgiving can be the scariest time of the if you're a turkey moving 40 $5000000.00 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 p. cand pie is almost just as important too 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 you even realizing it also the time when you daughter gets their own idea of balance concerned 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 everyone so people can do it makes them comfortable. on carnosine 1000 celebrating waving

american flags after donald trump side bills backing hong kong protests which i know some of the u.s. ambassador in response says that the white house's move amounts to interference and to threaten washington consequences move or one. of the us has been disregarding the facts and distorting the truth openly backed violent criminals who rampantly smashed the cillit he's started fires salted innocent civilians trample on the rule of law and jeopardized the social order it's a name is to undermine hong kong stability and prosperity sabotage of 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 in 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 counter measures 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. visas and it also requires an annual review of the region's special trade status 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 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 and banking restrictions limits could also be placed on sensitive technology sold to hong kong. because economy's already suffering as a result of the violent protests that have been raging for 6 months companies and investors are setting their sights on more stable places such as single poor tourists overall so stay the way we discuss the situation with antiwar activists or a flounder. that is see aim of the 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 this 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 thing with us here on our to join me for an offer. join me every 1st week on the alex so i wouldn't feel that i'll be speaking to us

of the world of politics or business i'm sure both of those i'll see you very. much in a parking lot and throwing a stone and then you have the record and what we have done is to try and identify something like that happening in the brain where the explosion of the ripples cause the depth of your consciousness. 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 in 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 and you kill the people and you won 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 marketeers 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 different and better than coke right they're saying operation desert freedom so.
