where. you don't care about your so you don't care mining anything. disarray and dismay in the u.s. state of iowa as the democratic party caucus is plagued by technical difficulties but russian hospitals have nothing to do with that the results of the 1st contest of the 2020 primary season and now not expect them to choose save make. the arrest of an alleged war criminals who lived in hungary and then france on a student visa reveals serious and the power of the laws of the e.u. which could allow terrorists to live. and a christian sets its sights on a carbon neutral future we look at who will actually end up putting up bill. richardson when you should have spent over. 3 point doing it's not on a rolling basis with people just paying money. at
11:01 am
7 pm here in the russian capital this tuesday a warm welcome for myself and the whole team him. let's get started the u.s. democratic party has suffered an embarrassing night in iowa the results of the fast major vote in the 2020 primary season would to name 2 took crippling technical glitch and i'm not expected to be announced on tuesday evening donald trump was quick to comment on the tumble out the iowa caucus taking to twitter to gloat about the democrats' apart aptitude meanwhile in the absence of any official results to the party's presidential hopefuls decided to claim victory themselves so we don't. i am the indication we are going on to new hampshire victory. due to the failure of the iowa democratic party to release results tonight and in
11:02 am
the interest of full transparency bernie sanders a senior advisor jeff we. for is releasing results from nearly 40 percent of precincts in ny one results have been delayed so they'll be coming but they'll be coming later nevertheless this is this is a huge embarrassment for the democratic party this this is an awful start to the to the nomination process because. statistically of paper it's insignificant i mean out of the 2000 almost 2000 delegates required to be nominated as the presidential candidate for the democratic party only has fought so you know it's a tiny amount the population is small it is very representative but. it is the 1st primary it is the 1st it sets the tone sets the atmosphere if you win it it gives you a huge amount of momentum going forward because it's an example it's people see that you're winning in a jump on board and for this to happen now apparently because of
11:03 am
a technical glitch ease awful we've found inconsistences in the reporting of free says of results in addition to the text system has been used to tabulate results where oh so using 4 to some results and a paper trail to validate that all results match and ensure that we have confidence and accuracy in the numbers we report fortunately no one's come out and blame the russians yet but you know venture down the line will there be a fall guy who will think you know i can just play in the russians and nobody's going to prove you disprove you but the point is the point of this app at the center of this at the center of this mess the point of this app was to safeguard the primary the election the safeguarded from russian meddling from foreign interference from hackers they drew tens of millions of dollars and developing these apps and to develop the developing technology to protect themselves and what you have at the end of the day at the end of the day it all goes pear shaped the
11:04 am
entire system is an embarrassment nothing's ready and there's also a scam. through an online course a lot of people lot of the candidates are very angry that this happened especially those that were projected to win but pete booted judge one of the one of the candidates he apparently. funded co-founded may do nations to the developers of this application is a conspiracy theories brewing among people that don't support him saying that you know how convenient he was spared the embarrassment straight away of coming in 3rd or 4th in this poll because because obviously that would be awful for any candidate nevertheless this is this is a good nefesh this is this is awful for the entire democratic party this is. the worst part about it is that all the supporters of all the various candidates and now angry not only of the democrats but at each other they're blaming you know
11:05 am
candidates they're saying if you would have come in 3rd you would have come in 4th others are claiming victory with nothing to do with nothing to back it up. very ironic because this is exactly the sort of behavior that the cues to russia of committing that breaking news russian hackers try to hack wisconsin's election system russia's hacked into a lot of things russian hackers the kremlin clan certainly looks like to begin with an eye towards openness president it's ironic isn't it that democrat paranoia about russia what caused them to develop these apps to safeguard themselves with technological files or what have you eventually that and their own incompetence was the downfall because russian hackers of never managed to stop an election to delay the results of a primary but an election in the united states. let's head to france now because
11:06 am
they're a former spokesperson for a syrian armed group has been arrested on charges of war crimes and the jihad has lived in hungary. for several months before being granted a student scholarship in law say your thirty's what you need tipped off off to a human rights group pointed out all his real identity seana dubinsky now looks at the new poll that allowed him into the block in the 1st place. to a kidnapping war crimes these are just some of the charges brought against a syrian who was named on a student visa he went by the name of mushed enough may in france back in syria he was is a lowish no ordinary stews and t. is said to have once been jayashri islamic press secretary previously nor did his freedom fighters the hardline islamist group in fact curried out a reign of terror in the eastern ghouta suburb of damascus.
11:07 am
when you look. in his linked in profile he describes himself as being specialized in security and terrorism affairs with a focus on syria he boasts of an impressive academic background with bachelor's degrees from not one but diverse cities including in hungary and when it comes to experience he mentions being the c.e.o. of the syrian news monitoring network may trace of the allegations of torture or forced in this moment of children raising his history seems an apt given that all islam ceased to exist back in 2018.
11:08 am
as the battle for eastern ghouta played out the french government said it was concerned about a grave violation of human rights and it called for a cease fire now while it acknowledge the presence of just harvests it also accused president assad of using the ongoing conflict as a fig leaf to wipe out any opposition. the syrian regime and its allies are brandishing the fight against jihad his fighters the need for which no one is disputing as just if occasion of an offensive and us entirely different goals its real intentions are indeed to annihilate any our normal position and break the
11:09 am
morale of civilians by indiscriminately massacring them following that offensive in eastern guta by the syrian army generational islam was talk balt last year a complaint was filed to the courts in france and josh islam and its senior members and no wanted criminals the complaint filed in june 29th teen was built on over 3 years of documentation of the crimes perpetrated by jaish al islam summary executions kidnappings and the systematic use of torture the group targeted people suspected of complicity with the regime but also ordinary civilians accuse of not applying the shari'a imposed by the group rigorously enough the international federation for human rights says the arrest of most enough where in mass a paves the way for the 1st investigation of the rebel groups crimes others may be hoping that arrests such as this will help shed more light for crimes committed by
11:10 am
opposition forces during the syrian conflict giving a fuller picture of what really happened on the ground. paris our political analyst mclemore coverts believes there will be inevitably fear and anger unless the government handles this whole situation properly. once you enter the european union you can go more or less where you want there are no border controls how we entered hungary would be an interesting question to know that what is. prosperous in this in this situation is that he entered legally he wasn't even hiding he was living in the y. which is a neighborhood in the center smack in the center of more state you could continue studying in france with no problem whatsoever that means the police cannot do their job properly today in western europe they don't even know who's in the country we've gotten so low as to say that we don't even we don't even know if you got the means to stop terrorists we don't even know if terrorists are in the country we know there are some but we don't know how many and it's huge it's already difficult capturing those who are not even in hiding so i think definitely this is going to
11:11 am
hurt a bit the government because this is very bad press very bad press having a terrorist. somebody accused of terrorism entering legally come from their country going legally to university this is very bad press so there might be some who's in the following days but i think unfortunately if the government doesn't handle the process of immigration legal immigration illegal immigration and the secretary since the government doesn't tackle these issues seriously unfortunately this these types of stories are going to continue in time. but across the channel from france britain is rolling out the green carpet as the country's energy it regulator has unveiled plans to scrap the gas heating and put thousands of electric cars on the road all by 2050 but there are worries it will hit the most vulnerable in the pocket with every house in the country set to pay a little bit extra and as artie's are a shot at woodstock she now explains that's not the only concern well this is it
11:12 am
the moment we've all been waiting for the beginning of the end of carbon emissions as the u.k. could be on the path to nets there are a monday the u.k.'s office for gas and electricity markets all of gen presented its new action which is aimed at transforming the country's infrastructure to make it more eco friendly britain has come a long way it is decarbonise faster than any other major economy but we must go further particularly on heat and transport we are taking an approach that recognizes that our role protecting consumers includes a cheering net 0. it is now vital that the energy industry rises to the challenge and demonstrates how it will work with the government and off jam to decarbonise britain's energy system at lowest cost well it's a $9.00 point plan and if you don't drive electric car yet you may be in trouble as under the scheme 10000000 petrol diesel cars will be replaced with the green i'm appeals and for the time being you better keep your winter jackets on because gas central heating is to be ripped from every single home well the plan also wants to
11:13 am
shift towards renewable sources of energy like solar and wind which is great news for g.d.p. then with all the rain so how much will this cost that well as our demographic would put it you can put a price on saving the globe can you and doesn't have a direct answer either recognizes that there are tradeoffs to overcome such as fellows spreading the cost of a low carbon energy system between today's and tomorrow's consumers when apparently this $9.00 point plan is all down to you so it could all go up in smoke when you have how much it can set you back well the rollout alone of electrical vehicles could be $2000000000.00 pounds a year which is the equivalent to 30 pounds on every household bill. chandler. police use. i think. it is going to be good for the planet if we do have to pay a bit more money if i live. in
11:14 am
a freezing cold tap system so that's my. maybe a little bit to the table. i guess providing it's not done on the. basis where people just paying money out there are benefits and i think well jim could cause an uncomfortable atmosphere as it has a history of hiking prices for consumers for its own good just a few days ago the national audit office revealed that electric bills were unnecessarily high 3 year is setting the public back 100000000. pounds annually but if it's all spread out equally for the good of the planet then 1st fair right well the royals wouldn't get the warmest reception on this one when prince charles hopped on his private helicopter producing c o 2 emissions to get to climate change conference this in order for him to undertake as many engagements as he does across the u.k. and around the world he sometimes has to fly as he has often said assume is there is a more sustainable way of making these journeys he will be the 1st to use it 1st to
11:15 am
use it or a 1000 and 1st well it's hard to believe when buckingham palace tops the list for the most environmentally damaging buildings in london or about the time when her majesty used the state's poverty fund to heat a humble abode i don't think robin hood would approve of the time being there are many proper trial alternatives out there the flying around the thing is fairly boring for me to say. you can stop him you sort of get that he's a boy and he needs to be. high security. yeah this makes sense but when it comes to the climate it seems like the ordinary britain should brace themselves and be ready for the additional financial sacrifice for everything is on the altar of a carbon free future. iran has dampened the mood over the opening of a new swiss payment mechanism the channel set up to allow lifesaving aid to be sent to the islamic republic while eradicating any risk of falling foul of those american sanctions however terror on believes america is still depriving it of
11:16 am
essential food and medical supplies by constantly imposing its penalties. this channel fall short of implementing the international court of justice order which ruled that the united states does not have the right to block the entry of food and medicine into iran this is not a sign of america's good intentions it is not even a sign that the united states has taken the smallest step in the direction of fulfilling its commitments while the newly setup humanitarian chat channel for both food and medicine has already started shipping cancer organ transplant drugs the united states says the channel will come under strict scrutiny to ensure that iran isn't misusing it although iran produces much of its own basic medicine yvonne's treatment is generally imported but as the route between washington and tehran deepens vital medicine is getting harder to source in 20000 alone 56000 patients died of cancer in the islamic republic and in just
11:17 am
a one year period between 20019 the cost of medical services rose by you can see 19 percent however washington still says that sanctions are not hurting the industry since medicine doesn't fall onto them i want to talk directly to the iranian people to dispel myths about us saying sions that continue to be promoted by the iranian regime myth number one the united states sanctions medical supplies going to the iranian people the truth is that the united states exempts by the medical devices for the iranian people earlier we spoke to a professor from terror on university he explained to us why iran is still experiencing medical shortages despite the sector being exempt from u.s. panties. the americans are saying that they have not sanction humanitarian goods such as medicine and food but in reality because iran is not able to do financial transaction and also because of the fact that the rein in transportation is under
11:18 am
sanction essentially it is very difficult to import and export any goods and it doesn't matter whether this is medicine or food or any other material for that matter are so it has had a very real effect on you want now iran actually imports over $4000000000.00 of medicine and medical goods every year and what this happened through the so-called suicide annele is only $2500000.00 so it is essentially peanuts considering what iran and its iran is a country of $80000000.00 what do you want really needs is is much much bigger than what the swiss embassy carried out wheat in the off this break the coronavirus epidemic is giving investors the jitters with oil prices plummeting and stock markets take us either.
11:19 am
let's talk about 20th century socialism this is when governments made mal investments and then they bailed out those mal investments and so the economy went bankrupt versus 21st century capitalism this is when banks make mal investments they when they go bad they bail out the malinvestment and that cycle continues until the economy goes bust and that's where are. we put them so i want. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want to be. into going to be pros which is what before 3 of them or can't be good. i'm interested in the waters of.
11:20 am
course. welcome back as the prospect of a coronavirus pandemic looms large attempts to prevent the spread of the disease are beginning to hurt the global economy with millions of chinese effectively in quarantine and global trade and travel slow in the price of oil tumbled to plough $50.00 a barrel on monday and that's the 1st time in over a year on e is among investors also cause the shanghai stock market to 4 by 8 percent before it recovered slightly the chinese central bank attributed the plunge to what it described as irrational behavior the regulator also said it plans to inject over $170000000000.00 into the economy
11:21 am
a move that would be unparalleled in scale in the past 15 years and if the banks recent statements are anything to go by more stabilizing measures are set to follow . the people's bank of china will provide liquidity to the market through a variety of monetary poses a tool such as open market operations standing lending to sue its refinancing and re discounting norman lewis is a technology and business trends consultant he told us that all this market volatility is likely to be short lived. as a side i think it will sting which between the short term and what will happen in there in the long term we were docked at this kind of doomsday scenario. and what we don't recognise is that even within this crisis they will be enormous areas of growth i think the impact on the pharmaceutical industry is going to be huge now in terms of all of the russian antivirus i think those sectors of the economy that can take advantage of the shutdown like retail food for example online digital services
11:22 am
they're going to boo as people you know lock themselves up and so it's it's not going to be a one way street it's on eat them and that's why i think it's difficult to predict exactly what's going to happen but that i think you can say with a certain amount of certainty that the short term impact will be no i'm not sure how big that they definitely will be a negative impact. in 3 months time this can be overcome factors can be restocked to supply chains sent to get back to what they want to know and the consumer behavior will change and we'll see a bounce back which is what happened in 2003. and finally for this hour a wave of protests is expected to shake several european ports this week and now it's all over the arrival of a saudi cog a vessel there is against the ship arriving want to claim it's being used to collect weapons to use in the civil war our european correspondent peter one of our
11:23 am
picks up the story. the saudi arabian cargo ship the behavior jambu is on a journey that human rights activists are paying extremely close attention to the ship is currently on route from bremerhaven here in germany to tilbury docks in the u.k. however what's of more interest to the likes of amnesty international is what the ship may be carrying they say the ship has been used in the past to move u.s. weapons for use in the war in yemen there's no confirmation that the ship is carrying weapons however activists were waiting for it in the port of on tour a stopover that was ultimately counseled after leaving saudi arabia in november last year the ship arrived in houston stopover one o 4 in the us in canada before traversing the atlantic to germany on its way
11:24 am
through the suez canal towards a final destination in the u.a.e. the bihari who is expected to face demonstrations as it saw a similar journey last year against saudi actions in yemen which human rights activists claim constitute war crimes the ship's time in european waters will be the set by legal challenges protest and industrial action a court in belgium is hearing a request for an injunction to block the government there from selling weapons to the saudis while on the city international is set to picket the docks in schauble dockers in the italian port of genoa are expected to down tools in protest to being asked to load what they call hot cargo meaning weapons bound for the conflict in yemen this ship was carrying weapons before and it will serve the ending too soon.
11:25 am
who 'd see and don't want to bring is that they are not real. true i mean all weapons the transfer out knowledge you don't read small still can out little bit. every region. where you intentionally to reach for records through another country or through. this new workers initiatives come together and try to prevent their. ships every small step. while there's still no confirmation that the behavior iambic who is being used to transport weapons human rights campaigners are convents that it's being used to ship more guns into the conflict zone in yemen a conflict which has seen more 'd than 100000 people killed since it started in 2015 creating the world's worst humanitarian crisis peter all over r.t.
11:26 am
berlin well we contacted the 1000 international communication to ask about the vessels visit and we want of course update with any response they get. that's a wrap from me for today you know neil will be here top of the hour with the very latest and i know who want to join him. i'm going to fulfill the repeated promises apologise to the people and come on you know we've all but the future to. be. pretty.
11:27 am
pretty there bertha now you want to 1st correct that. no. fault be cut. and i need an honest woman i used in my town the way you don't assume. somebody could solve mukti if i. was in this way got to talk so hard not to think i know how disappointed to see the work i think i want and i don't miss donnithorne if. this is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights to use when.
11:28 am
the floor you can be found is mostly sweaty in a round hole you have a lot of them on the. what i think is this is the funds that is what comes. i max kaiser this is the kaiser report you know i'm on twitter at real max kaiser my old twitter handle is really a museum now and it's tracking the history of mob my tweets about big corn starting on it was a dollar and it's a fun place to visit history but the new max kaiser the real max kaiser is on
11:29 am
twitter at real max kaiser if you want to follow me and all my genius tweets that's where you go now let's talk about 20th century socialism this is when governments made mal investments and then they bailed out those mal investments and told the economy went bankrupt versus 21st century capitalism this is when banks make malinvestment and when they go bad they bail out the malinvestment and that cycle continues until the economy goes bust and that's were are today wow that sounds almost like a bernie sanders ad where he was pointing out that jamie diamond is the biggest corporate socialist of all time absolutely and this is an example of making malinvestment not letting the market be the market but just bailing out bad guys making bad decisions being told the economy collapses or until you have the stomach collapse like what this new global virus out of china that's the reason that's that's the product of global economic collapse brought on by fear out currency
11:30 am
madness well speaking of the virus that we can use that as an excuse for being in this new studio and this 1st half because i'm going to stay for 2 segments just to show you the different backdrops we have for us this is the 1st set and it's the new york city skyline with the bull and bear in front of it we have some nice little colors paying belfast green and magenta there's actually official names for it that my sister picked out but nevertheless anyway these are new backdrops for the 1st half stay tuned for the sec. in half a would have a different segment but you mentioned the central banks in this corporate socialism and one thing that has been remarkable certainly since 200-2001 especially during the dot com crash we've had more and more and more giant bubbles and huge collapses and the fed comes in way more than alan greenspan used to you know.
