that utilize their ads you can't trust these companies to tell you who's good and who's bad you need to take that into your own hands. international it's wednesday the 4th of december life mobile new center kevin i would be for the next half hour with the update thanks for being with 1st then the trump impeachment saga steps up a gear in washington where the u.s. house intelligence committee has delivered a damning report detailing how trump allegedly abused his office for personal gain . and examine the document in more detail. well the report from the house intelligence committee democrats essentially alleges 2 things about donald trump 1st it alleges that he conditioned military aid to ukraine on an announcement that would have been beneficial to his reelection campaign and secondly it alleges that

he obstructed the house of representatives impeachment inquiry investigation now adam schiff representing democrats came forward and painted a pretty grim pricks here donald trump and his activities this is adam schiff this report chronicles a scheme by the president i'd states to coerce an ally ukraine that is at war with an adversary russia into doing the pleasure of the president's political dirty work and he was willing to sacrifice the national security of the united states by withholding military aid and diplomatic recognition in the form of that white house meeting in order to get what he wanted now before departing the country on monday donald trump dismissed the allegations that were expected to be leveled in this report this is what donald trump said prior to leaving the country before the report was released by the radical. democrat.

what i. set up a year ago when i'm going that was. one of the most important. things. for them to be doing. putting it at the end of the table with. a group in a recent interview the ukrainian leaders alinsky also dismissed these allegations about president trump's behavior and interactions with him look i never talked to the president from the position of a quid pro quo that's not my thing i don't want us to look like bagus now many witnesses testified during the impeachment inquiry hearings but observers wondered if they really. you made a strong case that donald trump had been inappropriate in his dealings with ukraine this is some of the testimony that was heard there was no mention of withholding aid on the call correct that's correct and there was no quid pro quo correct correct was there any reference to withholding aid you know there was not any

reference to bribery no there was not any reference to quid pro quo no there was not you have any information regarding any criminal activity that the president of the united states has been involved with total. now before this report was released on monday we had a report from the republicans that was released it was 123 pages long and it defended the actions of u.s. president donald trump saying that his dealings with ukraine had not been appropriate and had not violated the law fact that donald trump is out of the country celebrating the 70th anniversary of nato the north atlantic treaty organization that many have pointed to the timing of the report as being somewhat suspicious however while some are looking at the report and saying it shows very very damning evidence against donald trump others are looking at the report and saying it's simply a rehash of long discredited allegations different views from different sides of the political spectrum here in the united states. reporting that will have said

there are many concerns about the papers for us the book for example let's look at both sides one side to florida democratic party chair caesar says he's convinced by the report all the other media on this line thinks it's called little meaning. what we have here is unprecedented and no one knows what it means because it means nothing why do we call it an impeachment inquiry because if it was an impeachment hearing or an impeachment proceeding the president would have been allowed to invite and to subpoena witnesses but since they didn't do that and didn't want him to do that they call that an impeachment inquiry and they have not changed one i ota from what they said when they began the inquiry that and i will paraphrase it the president used to his position. his authority

under article 2 of the constitution for personal and or political benefits and the last time i checked every president since george washington as done this this is not impeachable i do believe that the democratic report was factual and obviously the republican response was perhaps a fairy tale that people do want to read perhaps to put some went to bed specifically you have very different responses be on the lookout for this what we have to look at is different articles that are going to come out that will be pretty straightforward there's going to be an abuse of power because as you say in the quote he took his interests above the national interest there's also going to be obstruction some as obstruction of congress not letting people cooperate. before the fall in this to the government's facing a massive backlash after the release of a heavily redacted report on the fracking industry british authorities never

intended to see the light today but nonetheless greenpeace won a lengthy legal battle with the government under the freedom of information act not that it was that productive out of $48.00 pages $37.00 were totally blacked out what remains of the one secret document shows a concerted plan to develop a positive image for the controversial gas extraction method among the general public. the conservatives have taken money from oil executives dress the rise of communities and enabled franken companies to threaten their local environment the fact they have tried to counter the sob by rejecting pages of critical information for the illustrates this government's contempt for the public this is the conservatives idea of being open about their field fracking experiment forced to release their report they've heavily censored it. these heavily redacted government reports shows reference to secret plans to run the processional complain just by the weight of scientific evidence and stress of public opinion against fracking i

dread to think what we haven't been allowed to see. him or fight against fracking in the u.k. is a professor and co. they high tech god knows what sticking out of the grounds that earns some people cash and literally shakes other people's homes those other people for years have been teaming up with green activists to win a war against fracking and bread from. areas from believable if you can believe. in finally last month came the victory at least for the timing the controversial method of shale gas extraction was banned in the u.k. under the prime minister who once called it glorious news for humanity and now that

it seems there is no more need to come out and protest the cabinet office has at the last released a secret report on the fracking industry despite these lines on the paper no parts of this report shows appendices is to be released under the freedom of information act so you want to rate something that the activists were trying to get a glance at for almost 2 years there's a little problem here's what it looks like from the 48 pages seen by the guardian 37 are entirely blacked out and only one the very front is left uncensored so if you're still keen to get to know about the skeletons in the industries closet good luck why would so much stuff remain hidden looking at this black wall of redacted pages people will be wondering why there's so little the government is willing to reveal about fracking and so much it wants to hide if ministers have really dropped

their support for this polluting industry why not publish this report in full and come clean about what's been going on behind closed doors. for years still though there's enough to scratch your heads over after reading the uncensored bits in there here's the gist of a few ideas there are issues with the fracking industry's progress the main one is public opposition to fracking it needs to be dealt with the government should develop a pro shale narrative and spread the word the department for energy and climate change is already undertaken crucial work on communications to increase public acceptability of shale for example creation of objective information material development of pro show national and regional merits of shall champions and among other useful moves that whitehall needs to take is finding ways to speed up planning in response to operators concerns which is also sometimes an obstacle

planning times need to be shortened and process needs to be predictable which also makes you wonder why would the guys in charge ban fracking at all in such a document there are always going to be sensitive parts that are embarrassing to the government that are sensitive that could harm you know the industry potentially in the future or that could show the government being too cooperative with industry that might show motives. that are the public would not see in a good light it's to protect their their image and to protect their ability to move forward and continue to do what they think they need to do for the nation which is different from what they tell the public of course because they tell the public whatever narrative suits them in terms of getting elected and so on but typically it's for domestic political reasons that you would ban it there's no other reason

that i can think of depending on how things develop geopolitically there might be a big impetus to develop u.k. shale and in which case they'll want to do. as quickly as possible watching out international face of being with us is exactly 12 past the hour if you're watching the clock this wednesday next popular free dating apps such as tinder and others owned by the company much group seems are not protecting the users from sex offenders on their platforms the investigations for the investigators took a look at more than $150.00 incidents of sexual assault over the last decade they found that the majority of victims were women who had met their attackers through match ups in fact in 10 percent of cases it seems they're they'd much with men who had already been accused or convicted of sex crimes much groucho's of 40 percent of the most popular up says they do conduct background checks on their members but only on paid accounts further the company claims that they do not agree with the investigations results the implication that we nor bugs such offenders on our side

and don't fight to keep them off is as outrageous as it is falls as technology evolves we will continue to aggressively deploy new tools to eradicate bad actors including users of our free products where we are not able to obtain sufficient and reliable information to make meaningful bank ground checks possible to go to conversations heated up then charge it more as a spectator journalist and resurface and women's rights advocate. the match group is a $1000000000.00 company there's no reason why they couldn't allocate just a small portion of their revenue to screen the people on their ab just so that there's just a smaller since of increased safety it's a precaution it's a measure but it's deserved if they appear if they're suddenly saying that we want in order to join the service we want to perform background checks on everyone who joins 1st of all that would kill the business and they know it there's a moral responsibility on these companies that are making billions of dollars

1700000000 dollars from women looking for love to say oh you know what it's too expensive for us to do a little bit to protect you nobody's going to want to join these apps with these kind of if they're doing that they're being this invasive of background checks with that said people maybe shouldn't be on them especially women and not only are these dangerous for women but it's destroying women so just give up the dating apps if you don't perform your own background checks in your own time with your own money get off we're not going to restrict women from using the internet because there are predators we do desire for these companies to at least take the step into the right direction why do you want to put that kind of power on these monolithic tech companies and up saying that you know ban women from dating apps i'm simply saying you shouldn't rely on this and you can't trust these companies to tell you who's good and who's bad you need to take that into your own hands so if you meet someone

do a background check before you get for you go out on a date if they work in tandem with the courts to get the names at least of the 1st and last names in the location of where these people are and perhaps create some type of monitor of their internet that's a step in the right direction it's going to be a mess i think no matter what and there's always going to be people who perhaps squeak through or don't get picked up who then commit assaults and crimes get a gun ladies. protect yourselves and we don't and by the way these incidences are obviously extremely rare and you know by and large the vast majority of men are not sexual predators one woman is enough we need the companies to take a moral stance or at least have some sort of responsibility to protect the women that utilize their ad and then what happens you know it's it's never going to be a perfect system coming up a touch of the birthday blues from event that is supposed to inspire unity 70th bus sees allies fall out and protests on the streets of london just one of the stories

we've got few but. up until recently politics were about policy preferences and ways to implement them that is not the case today your political views are now what define you as a person and there is a moral dimension bias against those who are not politically correct is the last acceptable form of discrimination this is the end of politics. my feeling with this world it's what now is we're so confused. here for and this certain generation that's controlling all the politics around the world still when that generation dies off and children are brought on this new movie are less materialistic don't really care about these things don't even want automobiles want

to live by the side job want to ride a bicycle this movement is global and it's going the world is going to has to go in this direction and it's going to change. again this is r.t. so as mentioned before the break nato continues to market 70th anniversary with the heads of its member states convening in london for a 2nd day now for the military alliances summit with many big names there of course the cameras and actually rolling here are some of the highlights 1st off from day one of this high profile gathering that's all some pretty bizarre exchanges at times between the leaders. our. food.

is your breakfast president tom. it also sold was a good breakfast. without. salt sold such as. a puzzle is paid by the artist like to sell. you if you like. this is where you were politician was for her and she was a. major still doing what he's been doing for the past 30 years desperately trying to find

a role for itself and it's clear that europe security interests cannot be served by a military alliance that just keeps expanding and expanding and thereby threatening the security of the very member states that make those that oppose the defending heel was matt brown sounding rather tromp the end i mean he was saying look i mean we all have our own countries 1st we have to see what's in our interest it's clearly in the europeans interest to think of a european security idea and you would have thought trump you know you know the make america great. the america 1st guy he sees on this the say yeah you're right you know we should all look after our interests but instead he sounded like kind of a cynic. major you know how dare you call anything you wish america is going to later when they knew. all sorts of terrible things well as you can see there are

split screen nonetheless all quite outside to the big birthday already marred by protests in the british capital with more expected later today demonstrators be venting their anger over nato forcing its members to raise the defense spending to the detriment of the country's economy. we are here because we want to protest the nato summit because for example the nato is forcing its member states to increase their defense budget for my country for example belgium it means doubling defense budgets while we are asked to have an austerity policy in the same time they are trying to using this money to transform armies into intervention armies we have seen what this means in libya or in afghanistan this to realizing countries and sold another important issue is the confrontation policy to towards russia which is exactly creating this kind of bomb strace so there are many many issues why we have to oppose nato that's why we are here if hypothetically tomorrow nato ceased to

exist would not create perhaps a security vacuum a security problem in europe that would lead to war instability this is an old argument done by the conservatives a little word i don't think so what we need is a new security architecture what i say to the security quality want to bloody war start this is what hopes. to secure. touched on the story yesterday more it today now for you slovakia may be joining the trend of restoring national gold reserves in a bid to avoid a global economic crisis it comes as countries across eastern europe are trying to shake off the dependency on the u.s. dollar by a report rating yellow metal has done quarter reports. it's a 21st century gold rush countries around the world are looking to the precious metal to cure their dollar dependence the main switchers are china and russia but eastern europe is now joining in for its own reasons like many slovakia has its gold reserves in the u.k.

and now former prime minister robert feet so is trying to get it back i guarantee that if something happens we won't see a single gram of this gold let's do it as quickly as possible feets i was at the helm of slovakia's biggest political party and he says it's safer to keep the 31 tons of gold in his own country why it could have something to do with when venezuela tried to recall its own gold from the u.k. in early 2019 the u.s. began actively supporting venezuela's self-proclaimed president. against president nicolas maduro as a legitimate government when the dural sought relief from crippling sanctions by tapping into the overseas gold reserves the bank of england outright refused after washington pulled some strings of course even then experts could see the writing on the wall one of the few things left for britain is to be the financial center that london has been for so long as one of the ways you stay a financial center is if you don't play games with other people's money it is not

for the bank of england to pick who it's going to give money to that comes from another society and you can be sure that every government in the world is going to rethink putting any money in london as they used to do when they're watching this political manipulation with the money they had trust to the british that prediction panned out feet so it was far from the 1st to demand a recall of gold days earlier poland recalled $100.00 tons of its gold reserves from the bank of england and the polish national bank was certainly happy about it we managed to increase the strategic reserves of gold and take steps through a patch ready to launch by. the gold by implementing constitutional statutory and simple patriotic commitment would not only deal the economic strength of the pows state but also great reserves that will save god its financial security this is the global trend but also the expectation of poe's society other eastern european

countries like hungary in serbia began recalling their gold as early as last year now the mainstream media has covered this new gold rush but what they'd probably like to avoid is admitting that it's getting pretty close to home take germany it just increased its own gold reserves for the 1st time in 21 years even us economists are admitting the role of this precious metal is quite literally as good as gold the question is what else that's the environment i think will be in and there's a saying that gold is the only asked you can have this not somebody else's liability the d. dollar ization of eurasia would support mr downer as it will view so with the shifter non-dollar reserve assets such as gold such a change would force the us to sell dollars in order to settle its balance of payments in the new neutral reserve asset the greenback has been very powerful for a very long time but if countries continue to look for other reserve standards it could mean the end for the dollar's golden age as part of the attempt to break away

from the dollar as. you know the trading currency in the reserve currency which gives the united states immense economic and political power over other countries and uses it whenever it can to get its way we see all kinds of moves in that direction we see attempt to use other currencies to use gold turn of payment system these are all trends just beginning the dollar is still dominant but they poor turned. loose of the us global economic agenda any over the next decade i will continue to keep you posted as that story develops as we have been doing over the. few years let's round up this morning commute to 26 minutes past the live most go time until your next show's boom bust off the break in the news so much more you'd be across it all to go coalmine to social media for me kevin owen in the rescue and you team it on t.v. today the great wednesday. call

the yes the euro the dollar they all refer to each other and they're all going deeper and deeper into debt so there's no basic there or there there's no so there's no way to measure the dead against something that is could be considered money remember j.p. morgan said only gold is money everything else is credit or death ok so without that there's no way to measure that debt and there's no at the moment you know mike my view is that this is leading to a neo feudalism or you have just a few private equity firms owing 98 percent of all the assets and everyone else is a living as serfs on that we're getting back to the dark ages.

in this community there are people who believe that it's ok to sell fractional food on my table it's really hard there are no jobs and you see that i've got kids that ask and as a parent. i can come up with lots of arguments there's a lot of conflict in the game between the 2 most of the conflicts i would say are over most romani and most of them money is made. close one on each of those he knows each other is good business the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00 a year off to prison complex just to get some point in your life where. you don't care anymore nobody cares about you so you don't care mind anything. thinking of getting a cue from the ones we got in our show from rome was he didn't know what to do he was trapped in this tiny little wired coach we don't need

economics on patriot and steve joins us from amsterdam to break down the bank's move and at the center of what central banks have come under fire around the globe we have a packed show today so let's get right to it. the trump administration is considering reviving a plan to kick qual way out of the u.s. banking system this proposal was previously is considered by the white house national security council as a nuclear option to sanction the company but was ultimately shelved due to the aggressive nature of the sanction this plan would put qual way on the treasury department's a dozen nations list and make it virtually impossible for the company to complete transaction in u.s. dollars the administration instead place fall way on a trade blacklist which forced suppliers to obtain a special license to sell to it the plan has been brought back up to the decision table in order to quote impose maximum pressure we seem to hear and be hearing a lot of that these days but place a while way on the s. and d. list is a double edged sword.
