prime addresses but is really so named after the u.s. president as a thank you for his barking in a territorial dispute is looking much less responded ortiz paulus leader went along to see for herself. what is president trump left more than seeing his name in golden letters on a big sign well praise and recognition one would say and here in northern israel he's got both trump heights in the middle of nowhere and thank you from benjamin netanyahu to his american baby for doing what most of the international community would not recognize this is the golan heights as part of israel you've been an incredible friend for israel and you've done extraordinary things for the jewish state which we are eternally grateful to much fanfare celebrations you might imagine an idyllic place the 1st thing you see is the settlement gate which doesn't close completely and there's a gap here which i can just go into but jari gets into it and then you find that no

boulevard or fancy entrance leading into the village instead of hard overgrown with weeds and piles of stone a far cry from what you'd expect the entrance into trump heights would look like when you think of a place like you know the 2nd chance you see this this building used to be because you know say to will be regional very rich. and now. although these being a fancy name change a new settlement has filtered tracked many residents today less than a dozen lives here and right now no one seems to be. you know. is there anyone. hello. it's all captured this territory from syria during the 19676 day war and later. and mexted $981.00 now most of the international community considers that annexation illegal and does not consider the golan heights as part of israel locals don't take it seriously either in the flesh i think it's not

a good location it's very hard it's a neglected area and i simply don't know why people go to live there for us into a richer this is great to see because we think it's ok i don't see it you don't see that it. has evoked work to produce this is an american issue in the. face really government says plans are underway to eventually house 300 families but in the years since truck prices been overrated nothing's been done maybe it doesn't even matter if the un has been bestowed the facts on marginal after all we live in an era of fake news says president traffic likes to say. r.t. heights northern israel. to another story we're closely following us china relations are at a long time low and a further dawn turner heard this week president trump took aim at chinese video

showing up to talk threatening that its days may be numbered in the u.s. . we're looking at a tick tock we may be bending we may be doing some other things are a couple of options mr trump they're promising to bomb the hugely popular video sharing from american shores not before monday the stars and stripes were lowered at the u.s. consulate in the chinese city of chengdu. ordered to close. for america's order to shut china's consulate in houston texas the 2 countries trading accusations. as far as closing additional embassies it's always possible they were burning documents or burning papers. chinese sides requirement. that the u.s. consul general in china justify response to the justifiable behavior of the us

we need a strategy to protect the american economy and indeed our way of life through free world must strike over this new tyranny of the free world doesn't change doesn't change communist china will surely change. completely repudiated the 40 year history of china the u.s. relations. claiming he wants to defund democracy and freedom will be taken by no means to represent these ideals. american germany and the interest groups behind him. last month firefighters were called to the houston mission after police said that workers were burning documents in the front yard local authorities claim this stuff work getting rid of incriminating evidence that official said they were given just 72 hours to shut down but not everyone in the u.s. is hot on going after china with american film studios trying their best not to rub

beijing the wrong way i mean hawkins explains the u.s. and china have entered a cold war style standoff. corporation on multiple fronts is an old time low and one could assume the movie business is no exception after all why should hollywood pander to beijing hollywood now regularly censors its own movies to appease the chinese communist party the world's most powerful violator of human rights even the u.s. state secretary payer was scathing in a recent speech in hollywood not too far from here the epic center of american creative freedom and self-appointed arbiters of social justice. censors even the most mildly unfavorable reference to china so is it really worth it it turns out it is last year china contributed $9200000000.00 to the global box office that's almost a quarter of global movie ticket sales while hollywood may have limited access to the chinese market viewing figures from asia can often make or break

a movie and the bank. is going to the world. universe. but to get its hands on a slice of the money hollywood needs to tread carefully china is a tough client despite having the 2nd largest film market in the world beijing is protective allowing only around $40.00 foreign movies per year so hollywood has to compromise to fill all the slots but we all know that he who pays the piper calls the tune the us lets china call the shots when it comes to the fine detail in movies this could be persuading the chinese as the good guys think 2012 or gravity

to make our way to the space station. but there. the government is building the ships. surjective. the retired you see those grass cutting out offensive taiwanese flags from the top gun sequel or making sure key characters aren't of tibetan origin beijing could simply cancel the release of a movie deemed offensive that once upon a time in hollywood was scrapped apparently because of the portrayal of bruce lee we get into a fight i accidently killed. i go to the upcoming movie has had a kissing scene cut to avoid a similar fate some even speculate that actors who displease beijing disappeared from the really big screen apparently richard gere got too friendly with the dalai lama too involved in supporting tibet no more movies with him in china perhaps you could be replaced with a chinese counterpart after all more chinese actors are being hired to satisfy the

growing demand. for years before so will. the lucian. was really soldiers come into my job. we're going to break out of every single one of the trumpet ministration has been moving away from the current order with stand up to china slogan but there's a little turn of how can that be when even global giants like apple have to play by china's rules of market access so it's unlikely hollywood will change any time soon when it comes to choosing between politics and profit the film industry will pick the latter every time after all show business is just that a business. you're tuned into international still is silly plans to send the military into sicily after school hours of refugees escaping quarantine and flee

detention center details up to the shortest brings. i think we need to kind of just get back to realizing that modern medicine has achieved some great things but actually when it comes to what has increased our life expectancy more than anything else in the last 4 or 5 you know lost upon 150 years most of these be public health you know modern medicine can be attributes to be maybe 3 and office 5 year life expectancy over an increase of 40 years in the last century in august and that's again something that people who we find quite surprising quite shocking. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of

the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. 20 minutes past 4 in the afternoon here in moscow welcome back a secret quote. for the notorious private intelligence report which failed to link donald trump to russian collusion and 2016 being revealed on the turns out it's a u.s. resident rather than they suppose a russian based source. also explains a lot of the dossier seem to rely on between drinking buddies. it was a dossier that some prophesies would spell doom for donald trump as president and

as a human being with any shred of decency the document penned by still spread like wildfire across the media spilling way beyond the u.s. borders the dossier the dossier that controversial document it alleges overt knowing collusion while unconfirmed accusations was 1. to cool the file salacious would be an understatement the claim that trump hired prostitutes to pee all over a bed at a luxury moscow hotel simply because the obama's one slipped in was just one of the highlights but trump's enemies believed wanted to believe after all the mysterious incognito informant was said to have infiltrated the in a most of russia's circle well turns out the russians was in fact

a bar fly in the us former journalist and now analyst igor duncan go apparently admitted that he got his information from people he was hitting the bottle with primary subsurface and source for drink heavily together and source for always looks forward to getting together with source for when primary sub sources in town are you when go as far as calling him an alcoholic but it looks like some might duncan go might have boozed so hard that even got him into legal trouble but nobody's perfect the f.b.i. thought a little party never killed nobody the state department agreed delirious drunken drivel you might say but america needs to know him because he fell in with information united states government should have similarly when he developed the information relating to 2016. there's assault on our democracy and interference in our elections he felt it was important that the us government be aware of it and

you'd think that the revelation about the sources credibility or rather the lack of it would be the main line in the us media but who am i kidding the new york times for instance confirming these sources identity a whole week after the story broke has been fanning suspicion about these website for publishing the story on time a news website posting news the outrage russian is always the eternal bogeyman in the american media no it's not quite sure why but it's been that way since the cold war and they've refused to let go of it it's the go to jail and so most democrat voters most media people most journalists we really know what the point of. from seclusion russia non-existing cruiser with russia might be how that might jeopardize national security they just see a scary word like russia and then run with it with the election less than
