and i know that i am. a russian. i. this is boom bust the one business show you can't afford to miss for in washington coming up we have disappointing jobs data out of the united states as lawmakers appear to be deadlocked on another stimulus package will break down the effect on the economy and what's moving markets were to start in jeopardy how are influences going to be affected we have a content creator on hand to discuss we have a packed show today so let's dive right in. and we lead the program with the latest job data jobs data out of the united states the private sector added just $167000.00 jobs in the month of july according to payroll company 80 pete now the

growth was disappointing as economists expected between one and 2000000 new jobs to be filed for the month with the actual number falling well below the more than 4000000 jobs that were created in june now despite 3 months of job growth the jobs market has not been able to rebound from that nearly 20000000 jobs lost in march and april at the start of stay at home orders due to the pandemic meanwhile when it comes to government assistance for those affected by the pandemic it appears lawmakers are still deadlocked on the next round of stimulus however there are some moves senate majority leader mitch mcconnell said tuesday he would support a bill that extends $600.00 weekly unemployment checks something that has been a point of contention if democrats were able to reach a deal with the white house on an overall plan for more on the state of the economy and what's moving markets wednesday let's go ahead and bring in boom bust co-host christine christine let's start with this payroll growth it's slowing down. but

that's not the whole story break down the report for us you know saw as you said the jobs numbers that was way worse than expectation that only 167000 jobs added in july so this cussed low down kind of confirms that any sort of a v. shaped recovery that everybody was hoping for that's clearly over and out of the picture and all of that 167000 jobs 166000 were in the services category which makes sense given that the u.s. is a services based economy however only a 1000 of those jobs were actually in the goods producing category so that number actually came in really really low which shows that the manufacturing recession that is definitely here and and will be here for the foreseeable future natural resources mining and construction took a huge hit and now if you look at the gains most of the gains actually came from larger companies while smaller and mid-sized companies they're still struggling and even slashing jobs and within services those gains are primarily in the professional education and health care sectors while information and financials declined so despite these awful a.d.p. numbers the market actually still green today which shows that bad news is good

news as we love to say thanks to trump who said that there will be another big jobs number on friday and that he might might suspend the payroll tax in order to supercharge the economy. seems like the 2 sides are making some sort of progress to come to being at a deadlock as millions of americans are now at risk of poverty or homelessness how is the situation with the stimulus looking as not looking that great because by the end of august over $5000000.00 americans they will be unable to cover basic living expenses without the extra $600.00 of unemployment payments that had lapsed last week so right now about $30000000.00 americans are collecting jobless benefits but without that extra 600 dollars 44 percent of them are receiving less than $800.00 a month so by the end of august analysts estimate that about 5400000 americans are going to be financially insolvent and over 9000000 by the end of september so these . those are actually pretty conservative get given that they don't even take into

account the americans who are who will lose their jobs in the near future in the coming months given that businesses are permanently shutting down and they're not restarting they will not get their jobs back and layoffs have not stopped and the small and as small businesses shutter this vicious cycle will just continue because the job market will shrink and christie of course whenever there is a concern about the shaped recovery or any type of recovery gold prices go up and prices are rocketing to a new record high on wednesday after smashing past $2000.00 for the 1st time is there still room to run for gold because it seems like no matter what it's going to continually go up at some point well this is actually a really exciting time in gold as the weaker the dollar is as the falling and the falling returns of the u.s. bond market that's driving investors to continually whore gold and drive the prices up so gold in total of this year year to date has risen 34 percent already as a safe haven climate is safe havens in this climate is really really scarce and

this was a huge deal as gold broke the $2000.00 level for the 1st time investors right now are fearing that the economic stimulus that was released in order to counter this pandemic that will trigger and cycle that will devalue other assets right now real returns on u.s. bonds they have already fallen sharply making the non yielding gold way more attractive so with on going to terry in the u.s. dollar the u.s. yield curve the opportunity cost in the cost of caring for gold that is getting less and less and right now there's also silver silver prices are also surging rising about 48 percent this year year to date as it is a very similar monetary asset very similar to gold but it also benefits from its use as an industrial model as well kristie we all know how hard it is free to talk so positively about the gold market but we appreciate it we'll get the big point sometime later this week co-host christiane thank you so much for that insight thank you. and it seems like almost every day there is a new issue for global economies affected by the krona virus and to. a is no

different in fact we are now beginning to see the effects of how the virus and the economic lock downs which have followed have devastated emerging markets investors are bracing themselves for more defaults and disruptions within these and those markets after argentina's deal with creditors was highlighted how bad things have become for some economies in the case of argentina the nation has now reached an agreement with its major foreign private creditors to restructure 60 $5000000000.00 in debt though some analysts believe that this bailout from the fund could involve massive economic overhauls that might be unpopular in the country joining us now to discuss is 2 bus co-host and investigative journalist ben swan and host of economic update professor richard wolfe thank you both for being here today professor wolf i want to start with you what does this restructure deal look like in argentina and is it a good or bad thing. it's a disaster for the poor country it's really hard to wrap your head around the 1st

world war worried it could be you know with that creditors that banks and hedge funds and so forth that lend all that money to argentina he prime argentino will get the ability to stretch out their debt or delay payments until regular gait they still owe the money you can really get it released but they don't have to pay as soon as they are wise might it gives them breathing room but here's the basic problem whatever they now do with the i.m.f. as they work out they're probably on top of their private jets remember that the borrowing is gone by a tiny group bankers and politicians at the top they get a lot of benefits out of the borrower but when you have a crash like the global capitalist system now rises how are you going to pay it back and the answer always is squeeze lemanis people cut the public services or raise that i. or roles to find the money that won't go to the people anymore but

will go to pay off their debts it's a vicious cycle it's been going on for a long time and with this crisis it means that it has finally hit the road i'm going 3rd world and then that will wash back and make our economic difficulties greater too it's a very sad. and bend to professor wolf's point the total amount of debt owed by argentina has been massive and with their history of defaulting on loans was this to be expected. well yeah i think absolutely was to be expected remember this this deal with the i.m.f. is not a very old deal it's only really just a few months old in which this deal was reached and yet as the professor rightly said argentina finds itself in a very difficult position here but mostly the people of argentina more so than anyone else consider the fact the nation owes about $323000000000.00 total but even

as we look at at what is owed i think it's also interesting to look at to whom it is yes the i.m.f. is part of that but there is one american investment company called black rock it is the world's largest asset manager and it controls about half of that debt in argentina and i think when you think about it in those terms you know it's different then a nation state borrowing or with your borrowing money from a nation state in this case you have private equity firms that control the massive debt of an entire nation and therefore dictate the terms of repayment and what does that look like for the people what does it look like for resources in the country what does it look like for issues like you know the energy sector in the country at what point those asset managers have the ability to begin to liquidate or take control of parts of the country or parts of the economy it's a very weird situation right now professor wolfe you actually spoke about what this will mean for the people of argentina as this will back it basically be passed out

of them how much sovereignty is the nation giving up with this debt restructuring. well he gave up their sovereignty wanted decided in the 1st place to borrow these kinds of money look there's a blunt reality they could have reduced their debt maybe even avoided it had they been willing to tax the rich inside our room to to raise the money to make that economy work they were unwilling or politically on able to do it so instead they borrowed money to save the taxing the rich and now they want the mass of the people to pay the bill for not having tax the rich are not asked the all you can only play that game a certain number of times and squeeze the mass of your people a certain number of times what you're doing up for here is a social explosion when people in argentina and other countries say it is not we're

not going to do it this anymore and now ben you know professor of just much of it other countries because our duty to isn't the only latin american nation dealing with this problem problem we have the same situation in ecuador what's going on there. you have so little in fact ecuador just got support from its majority of bondholders are restructuring about $17400000000.00 in debt as well and it is a similar situation happening in ecuador and in fact the leadership of ecuador is very similar in terms of mentality and thought process as the leadership of argentina wanted to go out and borrow these massive amounts of money restructuring debt but i think something the professor said is is true you know in the u.s. we have a tendency to look at latin american countries especially countries that have seen socialist revolutions in those countries nations like venezuela and will say well how could this possibly happen how could the people ever fall in to socialism

without recognizing that exactly what's happening right now in argentina and ecuador are pushing the people towards that kind of revolution because as he said you get a small group of people who dominate the country control the population and ng game the economy for their own benefit and the only answer to that is some kind of revolution robust co-host bents want to professor rolf thank you both for breaking that down for us. and you thanks. time now for a quick break but here because when we return the scrutiny around video at tic-tac has heated up and its future remains uncertain what will the fate of the planet be the platform for influencers straight ahead we bring in firsthand take on what we can extract as we go to break here the numbers of the quote all green arrows across the board.

some are solutions where every summer we look at solutions all the problems they cover on every other month of the year now today recovering. dollars asian and china for cation process which is game speed under tromp but what has set in motion really on december 11th 22001 when china became member of the world trade organization time that attorney chris france and author of beating the dragon. the us economy was booming growing numbers of people with those. you can work 40 hours in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still is the land of opportunity the reality of we're not financially quality and i'm not comfortable housing living minimum wage give many people no choice. just been

a problem with the city can always turn. out a little bit. because of the reports. the most vulnerable are abandoned on the streets to become the invisible cops. welcome back as the world continues to grapple with controlling the copen 1000 let's take another global look at the trends and spread of the virus with our key correspondents and you are where we when's that sobran more than 18500000 people around the world have been diagnosed with covered 1000 as of wednesday more than 300008 new cases just in last 24 hours now the global death toll has surpassed 707000 which means nearly $5900.00 people are dying every 24 hours

247 an hour or one person every 15 seconds and you're more likely to die from kuwait in 1000 here in the u.s. than almost anywhere in the world which now has over $4900000.00 confirmed and over 161000 that's now here in the u.s. california remains to be the stayed with the highest number of cases florida follows which has surpassed 500000 cases today wednesday then texas new york and georgia but new york still has the highest number of deaths at over 330001 other state neighboring new jersey has crossed the 10000 mark in its death toll and now look at the numbers globally does it would you give to know latin america has surpassed europe to become the region with the highest number of

death toll now the region in fact has not recorded more than 206000 deaths approximately 30 percent of the global total brazil of latin american country with the most affected by cold in 1000 recorded a total of 96326 deaths and now the say mexico the 2nd most affected country in the region now has over 48000 deaths have also. occurred in. chile ecuador argentina and bolivia and brand this pandemic was initially actually slower to reach latin america which is home to about 865650 1000000 people but government officials have since really struggled to control this part of the virus because more than 100000000 people across latin america live in extreme poverty with no way of social distancing and continue to work throughout the pandemic and now quickly here is the top 10 countries with the

most covert cases right now so as you can see even in parts of the world that don't live in poverty there's been a record number of cases i mean just take a look at the u.s. the number one country with the most cases and deaths and other nations like australia japan hunk kong sudan ethiopia bulgaria belgium was becca ston and israel have all recently had record increases in new cases as well or 2 correspondents are taboo thank you for keeping us up to date. and now for the latest on the ongoing saga involving social media app tick-tock as we previously reported president donald trump has said he will ban the app in the u.s. by september 15th unless a deal can be made for microsoft or another american company to purchase tick tocks u.s. operations one point that has confused onlookers is the president's contention that

a portion of the purchase of the app should have to go to the treasury now white house press secretary kelly mcinerney was asked about this on tuesday but offered little clarification i'm not going to get ahead of the president on any official action but he has made that point and he and the secretary pompei i have said that the u.s. action to the u.s. will take action in the coming days on chinese apps including tick tock tick tock sees me due to the national security. risk and we all agree that there needs to be a change especially with to talk electing significant amounts of private data on users it's unacceptable now meanwhile president trump himself spoke to reporters on tuesday and referenced the overwhelming popularity of the juggernaut app. is very successful it does tremendous business in the united states people are riveted by it i mean i have many friends when they saw that announcement they're calling i think their kids love it they don't because it will get to see their kids had to move but they are it's an amazing thing whatever it may be. this week we have

discussed the cyber security issues as well as the business implications regarding the situation with tic toc but this all raises the question of how will this move affect those who make tick-tock what it is and that's the content creators so let's go ahead and bring in one of the top tick-tock influencers zach king into the show zach big you so much for joining us really appreciate it today sir now i want to start with what the president actually just talked about there it's a highly popular why has tick-tock been able to open that door and become so popular especially over the last 12 months here in the united states. i mean you know as an influencer on. really in this industry for the last 12 years you know i've been on 65 since it was musically 5 years ago and so for us the rise wasn't even in this last year that's made it successful i mean there's been a lot of the last year but what they've been doing from the beginning i just a couple years ago was there out there that made it so powerful and that it levels

the playing field for anyone who wants to who has a stone and can make a little fun story or a joke or do a dance or whatever maybe there's a ton of different ecosystems and creators on the internet on tick tock but allows anyone to have the chance to go viral on a totally different level that's that's bigger than we've seen possible with you tube that's bigger than we've seen instagram and by any event so that's what's it's so exciting i think that's the drop not only is it the you are but i'm especially for those viewers who are trying to concentrate on the l. because that definitely as a as a viewer of tick tock even if you don't create your own content it's very consumable so if you're getting a short video it's got a lot of them are music and dance so it gives you something to not only watch but listen to it is very enjoyable in that regard now when it comes to this potential purchase from microsoft you have any concerns about the control of the app changing hands to a different company or an outright ban for that matter how is that going to affect the content creators. so the 2 main options that are present and who are now are

then we should be a bummer because there are so many people who love the app to talk but also because there's content creators and i'm not even talking about the content creators like myself who have already kind of excuse the charlie that is the new and expand it beyond the there's a lot of creators not yours but it's really not the small kind of the some of the just starting creators the budding creators who just you know last couple months were getting out run way they had moments of growing their audience and then it's going to be shut down the banner be terrible but also they have lost to a company like microsoft or a tech company. at least i think he'd see a receptive audience community would be probably thankful that microsoft stepped in took a look at the security concerns and then check the apple live but the other concern in that bucket is and you merged into management and cheap tick tock innovating to to grow that success even beyond what it is today that would be to question our

basic but and to your initial point on the 1st question there which is if they happen to adjust the algorithm in some capacity and then they push the bigger tick tock stars over people who may not be known that can create a problem for people trying to break through in the industry and i want to talk about those people because like you said you've diversified you have millions of followers across instagram you tube a tick tock and use not started but you were on vine when it was very popular but saw that kind of go away what or what do you kind of give it as far as help to other influencers who are just starting to build on take that what would you tell them to do as this whole situation is happening. while i was talking to other people that i i meet on the way in the same journey as i make sure you're diverse i'm your audience from the get go it's a very beginning i mean not right away but once you have a decent 10000 or 100000 people on you i met that community that really loves your stuff and find creative ways to get their e-mail contact because they're going to

want to hear from you directly or there's a lot of services now that do text messaging but the goal is to have a direct connection to a small portion of your audience which is the most dedicated and loyal portion anyway and that's you know how it's already a little too late to do that now with a month left but that's something from the get go i think creators need to be thinking about how any platform on instagram facebook do you know how to direct connection years ago you know it was amazing reach and then when they put the paper on front of it you know now it was one percent of our audience must for the rest of the coast so. they have something you always have to think about in this case and now it's to graham is officially launching their tick-tock competitor in more than 50 countries they actually watch that wednesday including the us what do you make of this new platform and could this actually kill tick-tock while the app is in limbo as a lot of content creators might move to reals where they can actually make that that kind of impact of their. intersection of all this timing is fascinating to

watch there's a lot against tick tock and and with the timing of instagram reels coming out it could be another moment like you saw a snatch of how instruments swooped in big time dear version of stories and it was very successful because everyone you know when you hear there's concerns of privacy i mean your your tendency to be going back to you you already know and where the tension is in the past and if you have the same teachers i can be an easy transition but in this case i think you're also trying to replicate a culture which you can't just do with one feature i think there's other things that she is doing in terms of course he's content creators even starting their fund to help monetize young creators it huge something that instagram still really has yet to do and of we're waiting for so i don't know if. the new real speech or will

just swoop in. that powerfully yet but time will tell really well it depends i think that day it's a temper 1514 at the ban if it actually happens then i think you'll see a lot of momentum behind reels and know that i guess for our audience who maybe doesn't understand content creators slash influencers quickly can you tell us how this monta zation works and how you guys are able to make money i mean not on your level maybe but on some of the smaller levels there. yeah i mean it's a really simple game play model with brands on you tube you have example roles play the beginning the broadcaster middle and we'll get a piece of that 50 percent of the ad revenue for those ads but then the other stuff is going out for brands that you're passionate about you know for me for example i'm really passionate lego i love creedence to anything that it's imagined and that's what i want to partner with so take me for example partner with a company like lego and what brand you want to look like. a creative 15 2nd video

in that case and that would be a piece of our monetization talk of social media star zach and we hope to have you back thank you so much for your time today. and bash it for the time catches on portable dot t.v. we'll see you next time. i'll look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. i robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders that conflict with the 1st law show your identification trusts the shia. areas chime in with artificial intelligence will summon the demon.

has the lead up to the reality of those who were not financially quality and the lack of affordable housing for a living minimum wage gave many people no choice. just been a problem with the city knows turn to bitch and told me stay away oh miss colton sims of concluded that there is no answer because yes the records resource the most vulnerable are abandoned on the streets to become. the invisible comes. the mc maxwell sucky is one of the most sensational stories of our time however media coverage appears to be limited to learning details and political overtones the single biggest question that needs to be answered is how all of this could have happened where was long for spin and will justice be finally served.

i am max keiser this this guy's report summer so loose ends where every summer we look at solutions of all the problems they cover on every other month of the year now so they are recovering to globalization the valorization the china for cation process which is game speed under trump but what has set in motion really on december 11th $22001.00 when china became member of the world trade organization time avatar to chris fenton author of beating the dragon the stacey chris fenton welcome to the prize report summer solutions you know we wanted to talk to you because this obviously this process that is now being called the china for cation

is in full swing so to set this up and what you might be able to talk about and add to this conversation is you know you were basically an informal diplomat you were were king you were traveling to china you were working in bringing the united states you know especially the entertainment industry and sports industry to china and vice versa so you were a bull on that relationship where did that turn you're no longer a bull on that situation you're more of a hawk why well 1st of all thanks for having me back it's always an honor you know the show and just to address that when joe beats you know mention that max just may 1st things 1st let's call china a developed country at this point and have them follow those rules rather than a nation rules that would be a very easy fix to a lot of things that we need to address. if we're looking at a step approach that's a great 1st step how did i change my outlook on i'm sure i'm you know last summer i

was on the show we were pre-code it obviously. you know my my song. yes obviously started around october of last year when i got back from the last congressional delegation trip and i co-hosted with 3 house members when daryl morey sent out that tweet in support of the hong kong protesters it was an interesting moments for me because i saw that becoming a very big issue for the n.b.a. in china and of course me as as you mentioned being a role in regards to a commercial and cultural exchange between the 2 countries i thought oh my god that's going to hurt the n.b.a. in china and that's a big deal and oh my gosh that's the thing that we should prioritize i know what i didn't realize was that it was going to wake up the united states of america and all people including myself to the fact that we have been pandering to the c.c.p.

way way too much in this effort of pushing the mission of rampant globalism and then since that moment i've really been studying and in fact they implemented quite a bit of it into the book in regards to how has this affected the health of america overall global health aso but the health of americans and it's so obvious to me now looking back at this mission of rampant globalism open up china for our products and services at any cost because that's in the past welfare of the united states citizens turned out not to be so good so over time since that tweet we've seen the han khan situation go into a place where i don't think any of us imagined a year ago it was going to go which was hey you got 27 years left on this agreement that we made with the brits but you know what who cares let's just take it over now

to things like the covert response a lot of the rhetoric between a few countries the issues. between the n.b.a. and various other situations the houston consulate situation which now has been retaliated against in china with the change you consulate for the u.s. it's on mask into a situation where i'm way more hawkish against china than i've ever been and i'm still trying to formulate exactly how to process this all as are many people in this country and our leaders the way you state the case they're pretty have a lot of detail what's curious to me that they were lesser supertramp the u.s. and china has always been described as symbiotic we have sent them our jobs and they sent us back these cheap goods and that's the quid pro quo and that's been the story and so suddenly. when coven heads

exposes that america has no ability even to manufacture mass that all that manufacturing capabilities in china well that's that's been the deal now for you know a sense they got into the w t l that was the deal like. if i were china i be looking out america and saying what up bro i mean that was the deal why you complaining now you know so why are we complaining now prest and by the way the deal goes back even farther than just the deadbeat's you know do you know i mean you can argue with 979 it really started and then it got steam probably around 1090 or so why it's a big deal is because we've actually been and i hate using this word we've been look to the problem and unfortunately sometimes you gotta get it now head really hard to know that somebody on the other side of that this is not your friend and that's a big issue and now we have the supply chain issues that kobe brought up in the

fact way frankly and you guys talk about it all the. time of the show i mean 95 percent of this country has been left behind in this system that we have right now we have lost a lot of middle class jobs we have lost a lot of money fracturing base and all in a lot of that has to do with how we treated china over the past 30 years so we have a very entanglement and we need to untangle and decouple fully in a lot of ways yet i also argue and i've had some op eds about this recently and real clear politics the federalist etc there are non decoupling situations that are america 1st and some of those i'm still hardly making a hard argument for of course back in 1999 we had robert light hisor who is donald trump's 2nd at the trade representative and he was very vocal and the new york times and everything lambasted all of the leaders of america saying they don't

know what they're getting into by shipping are that all of our jobs are going to be shipped to china he was right biden was also wrong back in 2000 when he was confronted in congress by a progressive senator who said that the rise of china would result in the loss of all u.s. manufacturing jobs and biden said he did not view a collapse of the american manufacturing economy if china a nation with the impact on the world economy about the size of the netherlands had suddenly become a major competitor the u.s. so he was wrong as well bill barr just in the past few weeks he said that he accused china of an economic blitzkrieg and aggressive orchestrating the whole of government indeed whole of society campaign to seize the commanding heights of the global economy and to surpass the united states as the world's preeminent superpower so my question to you is to me it sounds like a sore loser and that this was just a through cities trap that many including as i said robert like hisor ross perot of

course they all warned of this at the time when we were planning on. basically elevating china to the w t o because before that they were on the most favored nation status and every single year we had to read knew that in the congress and it became very political so in order to overcome that we pushed them into the w.c. oh so is this just that they said that the strap was a sudden habitable and what do you think of what bill barr the attorney general of the united states said. well i i try to be nonpartisan in this issue because it takes red and blue to get together in that dress this challenge that china owes us against the nation but i'm going to 100 percent agree with what are said the other day in the tactics of trumping ministration and our light hisor navarro have used in order to express the situation i think probably could use fine tuning and i don't have the answers exactly on how do you doubt but i think there is across this

there that hopefully as a nation we figure out but the fact that they have alarmed us all to what this problem is is the best thing that has happened for this country now in regards to buy in and a lot of the people that were very pro what we were doing over the past 30 years i have to admit i 100 percent was too i'm 100 percent complicit quite frankly in being a part of why our hollywood exchange with china has been commandeered by their local film industry so that they're making best in class type of productions that are now catering come completely to their audience and shutting out hollywood movies in regards to market share there and that's just one small microcosm but i was guilty of helping them learn our process understand the value of ip develop ip and a script you know unilife their artist so that if you get caught up to speed you

know what we're doing in hollywood and helping them get involved with hollywood i feel terrible about it in a lot of ways and i feel very strong about this mission definitely have to address the china as a nation there are ways to do it that will benefit america both in the short term and long term but it's going to be very disruptive and it's going to be something that we all have to agree on together yeah you know. for years we have been saying that they relationship with. china in america here is the americans i've been willing to take lower wages in exchange for cheaper goods and that the quality of their life has been according to many americans improving because the cost of a wide screen t.v. has gotten dirt cheap the cost of textiles is dirt cheap i mean this is this is a bargain american made i mean the book is great you're great thanks for being on the show but i'm not buying this argument that suddenly you know we got a wake up to the fact that china's a predatory here because the u.s.

the predatory in the u.s. economy that that are pretty big on their own citizens vs the v the banks and everything else that goes on in finance they do that with china too so why don't we go after our leaders in washington d.c. they who've been printed saying print predations on america for 30 or 40 years that's where the problem is china just want to compete why are we saying ok we're the comp competitor they just want to compete so what what about washington. well i look you're 100 percent right and as much as i'm not artists in this issue i see really identify with steve and i've been on a show a bunch of times and he believes in the 4th journey which he thought should have happened in 2008 which is that resat that the financial crisis shouldn't have had happened well you've talked about the financial as a share of essentially the global economy and how i guess you should say meters

have at stake in nat as a main directive you know and just in simple sort of examples the fact that we allow chinese companies access to our capital markets while still be holding to the state secret laws because they're part of these as so we eased so they don't have to apply county practices that we apply to our own companies is ridiculous right so i do think we're seen whether it's because of grandstanding or reelection agendas whatever it is to me it doesn't matter the country is woke to it the right side of the aisle in particular wants to do something about it whereas a least causing enough awam subpoena or getting more action impacted into it but it's going to take time and yes i agree i mean i can give you one example i have a member i sat down with in a very red state said you guys need to deal with china in

a way that starts addressing some of the problems for my middle class constituents but he's like i cannot say that public publicly because those very constituents love going to wal-mart and buying very cheap products and that goes right into what you are same us or a president that author of feeding the dragon oh wow what a timely book we're going to top more with chris right after this break don't go away. we're going. to. a more robust morals would be one in which we do business as usual but guess what. we prepared for carbines. time as a lot cheaper at reduced mobility of the germans it's a lot cheaper than having lucked out just.

a short time ago an american airplane run by hiroshima. standing up kind any thing and. go. well until you do your. chin it's. like most americans growing up after the war the bombs were a great thing they ended the war they say hundreds of thousands of lives on both sides and that's what my grandfather always said was his reason for the decision. truman was hoping for a dual strategy one was to drop the bombs and hope that japan would surrender the number to the americans were trying to send a message to the soviet union and there was american poor planning in october 145 who had chosen 20 targets and russia.

welcome back to the report imax hazard this of course is our summer solutions and we're talking today with chris fenton he's the author of feeding the dragon everyone's read this book in washington and hollywood in new york it's really a timely book and it's all about what's happening really could describe it as a new cold war between china and america that escalated quickly gus i'm so old i remember when 2 countries are trying to walk through it all kinds of trade agreements phase 12 and 3 it was all going to be jolly good you know chris i look at a company like apple computer and i'm wondering you know. that's worth the $1.00 trillion or so it's in hell than everyone's pension account everyone's made hundreds of billions and trillions of dollars with this company it's the biggest company in the

world and it's all based on chinese slave labor we've known that for a decade and 2 decades they put up nets outside the factories because kids jump out the trying to kill themselves we've know we've known this this is not a shock right so if this is going to break up and it's a cold war and these 2 countries are going to go head to head apple's not going to be the same company that they're going to have a massive downgrade and that's a chilling dollars of wealth going to evaporate pretty quickly chris are we ready to do that well it's funny i i i wrote in an op ed for the federalist while a couple months ago about how we need to stop using the stock market index or warts in regards to the overall economic health of the country and the reason i wrote that op ed is eco's i feel like we've done a lot of orchy in regards to what we want to do to express the china challenge but we haven't done a i.e.d. and the reason why we haven't done a real swartz is because every time we do the stock markets go into

a freefall i remember in back. i was in hong kong in late august there was a tweet that donald trump put out about how he was ordering all american companies to remove their operations in china the markets dropped i think 800 or 900 points of mediately just prior to the close that day and then over the weekend the result of this crazy sort of information spreading around whether it meant it or not he was over in spain at that time expander and then alternately we backtracked in all the stock markets we covered and actually then some because it sounded like we were going to move into a more dovish scituate mission to china i my argument is we have to get into sort of a warm war time mentality when we got pulled into world war 2 the markets really were disrupted they went down no one paid attention to the markets we paid attention to

how we were going to address the enemies out there how we were in address the national security interests of the country and the welfare of our citizens and as we started to address those and as we started to win small victories and markets did start to come back and by the end of the war obviously the markets floor back my point is it's like if we try to address china by really implementing things that we need to do we need to do it across all industries across all companies and we need to address shareholder and investor interests too because they are the pressure points for all the sea suites of all these companies and all these industries if we have real rules of engagement that prioritize american health in american national security yes markets are going to get deeply impacted i mean just moving supply chains back over here the ones that are strictly for national security interest forget apple stuff wore t.

shirts from nike greenback pharmaceuticals that's going to cause a nature disruption with pharmaceutical companies share prices but we have to be ready you it's. rest said destruction and be ok with it because the victories are not going to be marked by stock market prices they're going to be marked by it to reset or on behalf of the american oh well let's talk about a war because of course in america we're seeing opioid overdoses and suicides that are mount to a vietnam every year of vietnam war every year last year we had $71000.00 opioid overdoses the year before it was 68000. u.s. mortality rates are going up the life expectancy is going down for those american men primarily who used to have jobs at these factories so you know this really set in motion in 1080 is when china got most favored nation status with the united states it was under reagan and that social contract that we've had you know post

world war 2 up until that moment was you know the american worker at the american middle class the american dream it was all about that not capital and then since 1980 it's been all about capital and and part of the primacy of capital has been destroying the rights of workers and laborers and the right to dignity and in a meaningful job in a life so like how do we rewrite that social contract how do we because that's going to have to happen that that conversation has to happen between capital and workers for these jobs to be brought back here. yeah 100 percent does and one of the issues that i have is when. allegations grandstand say hey look bron james you need to take a stand for the high income protesters or disney you need to take a stand for the hong kong protesters yeah quite frankly they do they mean is if they do it they lose all their business in china and it's a whack

a mole situation look ron gets replaced by the next basketball player that can take his spots and his indorsements disney loses their spot loses their theme park and universal comes in and takes over so unless we do it industry wide company wide since citizen wide and say this is what will tolerate is let's face it there are things will tolerate censoring our content when it goes into that country and inside their borders we will tolerate i'm ok with that why because middle east countries do that japan does that korea does that that's something that we seem to be ok with but telling us how to censor our speech and our content outside of their borders that is on it that is not tolerable and we need to change that but we can only do it well or industries and all other companies have the same rules for the road and yes it's going to disrupt markets it's going to disrupt their earnings it's going to disrupt revenues but when we come out the back side of it will be

much healthier and one more point is we need to figure it out as a country here 1st what are our rules of engagement and then we need to lead our western allies down that same path because i don't want to see disney replaced by telling munchen in germany or by studio canal in france or by bollywood we need to approach this together so it's not a whack a mole on a global basis yeah right coronated response share you know big problem saying today that america has a really bad a what i mean by that is after 911 they bombed iraq. now during this crisis with china the d.n.c. for example is attacking russia right so somebody is a give somebody some new pride laughs or an eye test or something to improve their end because they don't get seem to find which country is which on a global map that seems to be a basic problem geography number one number 2 we look what china don't let the 5 g.

technology an artificial intelligence that are already way past the america at this point beyond what america is going to catch up to you know should we like we do with climate change where we say you know what it's too late we just have to get used to it maybe that goes to the main thing is to say you know it's too late china is going to be the superpower we're no longer a super power let's get used to it maybe that's the humane thing to do chris well there is something to be said to be drafting off the lead you can actually gain a lot of footing and not situation asa save a lot of energy and it was and i'm better you know places i do think saying something nice that from any of our leaders is probably a death sentence in regards to any sort of political career. but i would say that's not a terrible idea but let's pretend like that's way far fetched more far fetched than everybody unifying and figuring out how to tackle this challenge i do think. we

have a real issue that needs to bring to light the fact that the republicans are on the case the democrats which it has been very frustrating to me and obviously i come from a very democratic base area a country ollywood in the industry i'm in it has been frustrating that they haven't jumped in to in fact i want to be on democrat platforms talking about this but they're not even mentioning the word china on c.n.n. or on m.s.n. b.c. or any of the left leaning programs we need to start at and i know they're. obviously nervous about jumping into the china for a because it's going to be hard for him so look it's hawkish as trump but regardless of who wins at least we get both parties thinking about this and hopefully we can find some venn diagram you know overlap where we can actually tackle the challenge together while they fight about all kinds of other things that have nothing to do with china you know the last few moments here let's talk

a little bit more about some solutions like you did mention their whole developed they're developing nations they had us and they have that in the w.c. which means they get to apply tariffs to our goods we don't get to apply them to there is obviously that should go because we have friends that live in china and they say like coming here is like coming to the developing nation versus them being a massively developed what do you think of that. yeah i know 100 percent i mean it's a it's a crazy situation i get why it was in you know regionally enacted because we did similar things when we were coming into our own industrial revolution to try to catch up to the european nations but now that they're caught up in fact this max is there even have asked us and various banks enough's enough let's put them on the same playing field as we're at the same accounting practices plane you know i mean let's just simply start with those i mean red or blue how does anybody disagree with that i get the fact that that means j.p.n.

and goldman sachs and morgan stanley won't have as much action taking nice as so we used public on the exchanges but c'mon guys we're all party in the united states of america we need to think about what's good for this country and good for the people who can't always be about just churning ensure earning insurance more money i mean the nuts enough wake wispy smarts right well remember when britain had a similar situation of china they started out with came out of the opium wars right they got chinese hooked on opium and as a way to get them to buy stuff from britain because they were playing the game the way britain wanted it now china has returned the favor i got america hooked on really cheap goods like big screen t.v.'s and cheap textiles so we're hooked we're we're strong out there you know americans are basically you know out on crack so where do they find that problem and figure out how to get an american to do an honest based up the situation is that going to get any better chris but anyway thanks so much for being on the path report about summer solutions. well i hope we

came up with some solutions and i really appreciate you having me on and i hope a lot of your audience goes out and buys the book because i think it was a really fun entertaining story there that hopefully engages them in just something that's on the read but there's a lot of great lessons in it sort of walks through how we got to this point and also talks about what we might want to do you address in your movie or so thank you again and that's it for this episode of kaiser report summer solutions up a max keiser and stacy ever again thanks to our guest chris fenton the book is feeding the dragon trying to get in touch with us on twitter it's kaiser report intellects time by.

seems wrong well we just don't. get to see a pallet these days. and in the game. trail. once on find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

how can you explain. those 3 days i just. say. i made my decision to come here because i felt i knew i could build a new life. but he's. decided that this money is no good to be free. my one dream is that all my children 'd the same kind of happiness i do. i love cold weather i like the cultural history i like everything about it.

there are a lot of lawmakers in the state of missouri that we know huge financial contributions from agricultural industry groups those are the groups that oppose proposition b. and there is no doubt in our minds that those same groups pressured lawmakers to overturn proposition and before the session even started there were bills that were pretty filed that you feel bad because he was repealed but you know all of your work. has made a dramatic difference for this i mean just the fact that almost half these facilities are out of business the vision that things are definitely much improved with many of the worst operations but you still have chronic while others who are operating you still have treatment. and you still have.

church.

when they 1st started. and we don't tell any law against that's the biggest thing.

my few friends and i started going around to the males in iowa experiencing it firsthand so our local store is diabetics pet shop and we went in there and we saw the puppies and asked them and our 1st they were like from a breeder and got to the center they were very open about it and so we asked if we could contact them and so they gave us their card and we made an appointment and we went and we visited the mill and it was it was awful. in general we have the negative temperatures and the very very high temperature and the dogs are forced to live in that 247 and so our protests are every single week and no matter what the weather today we are very sick full to positive temperatures but i left my house this morning with the wind chill it was negative forty's this

is cold it's on our coldest it is average when say iowa city usually air protagonists are between 2 people and 10 people every lead just depends on the weather and what we all have going on it is a priority of everybody we asked several people to travel from out of town to get here 2 years is a long time to think that we've been in front of here this is where we hang our young people hang out in front of 5 stars on saturdays and we only have to be out here for 2 hours and the dogs are going to be out here all the time the dogs in the shelters are. wrestling different. and i think it's going to take an interest people become more aware of what what a puppy mill means and what these dogs in the store actually do or i like to say that it's a ripple effect and i advocate one. who knows how many other people they will tower

and so if we can all educate our little corner of the earth that someday we will obviously problems because once the public really knows what's going on they will not support and. no matter how upset i am i know the dogs have a works so i never even consider giving up it's never been an option and i will use my voice because. i will keep doing it and towel there are no more money. until recent changes the only federal regulations governing commercial dog breeding date back to the passing of the animal welfare act or a.w.a. in 1966 the a.w.a. defined a commercial dog breeder as one who maintains 4 or more breeding female dogs and sells the offspring into wholesale channels any breeder or retail pet store in

gauged in the direct sale of dogs to the public was exempt from the a.w.a. . let me clarify that a little bit the animal welfare act only requires that we do annual inspections on research facilities so there is no requirement for the other entities that we regulate. but every facility that's either licensed or registered with us is assigned a minimum inspection frequency we have a risk based inspection system so based on the risk of finding noncompliance risk of animal welfare concerns the facility may be assigned a frequency of once a year twice a year 3 times a year whatever that system a science to it the a.w.a. does not require yearly vet check ups access to exercise socialization or protections against extreme heat or cold and allows both wire flooring and stackable cages. for the animal welfare act is passed and it requires humane

standards of care for dogs raised in commercial breeding establishment and it requires that the department of agriculture go out and inspect these facilities and make sure that they're complying with these regulations i always refer to the regulations that we have today with the u.s.d.a. is survival standards if you comply with the centers of care the dogs will probably but is it humane no right now and u.s.d.a. regulations a dog requires 6 inches of living space bigger than the dog itself and you're talking about a dog that's living in that space for its entire. another part of agriculture really is there a promote american agriculture it's not an impartial sort of entity that is neutral you overseeing the laws and for years u.s.d.a. was allied with the very interests that it was supposed to regulate including these folks within the agriculture sector who you know started raising puppies and

started operating puppy mills never in the state of ohio has any breeder been forced out of this. long. standing violations of the animal welfare act if they choose to no longer pay u.s.d.a. license it's because they chose not to renew their license not because inspectors came out to actually revoke that license i never heard of a regulator coming to pennsylvania no one was getting shut down the feeling of the industry was very we don't have to worry about it so frankly their doors are pretty open the so often if a breeder some violation of the animal welfare act they get a slap on the hands and when they get the slap on the hands. off and it is months following the violation and they're given an opportunity to correct the violation and sometimes it may be days or months before that inspector returns to ensure that the violations been corrected on it's very rare that they will be given a fine that is truly impactful to their bottom line so they factor it in as

a cost of doing business in the animal welfare it has been horrendous in the end for many many years and just 2010 year old office of inspector general issued a very doable report on how terrible their inspections were they documented inspectors walking by dogs and just leaving of there you know that writing up these people and putting them out of business is spent really really bad the inspector general found several major problems with them foresman of the a.w.a. including finding a massive loophole that allowed breeders to sell puppies over the internet without a license and delaying confiscation of suffering animals to give violators a final opportunity to take corrective action before confiscation can occur even in extreme cases where animals are dying is called the animal welfare you know it's not the kennel really well for it it's the animals and yes even some of the good

inspectors were there inspectors in made sure that the building was clean and they had good shelter from the extreme. temperatures but the dogs of. the photo a lot of the focus of that was on inconsistency in some of the things our inspectors were citing and the length of time it took to get to enforcement so we put. some an intensified training in place for our inspectors some a different oversight of our inspection process and work with our branch to find different ways to expedite the enforcement process since and we've also worked on some nontraditional or non regulatory solutions if we can help somebody come into compliance without having to resort to enforcement action and get those animals in a better welfare situation quicker that's what we're going to do. since being elected in 1907 senator dick durbin has introduced legislation in every session that would dramatically improve the lives of dogs in commercial kennels and

would close the internet loophole. the way people sold dogs changed and has it changed it was no longer going to the individual breeder a longer just going to the store now was online sales and they were exempt from the kind of regular inspection that would protect the puppies and their mothers so we had to make sure that our bill really filled the gap and provided the protection for those online sales and the pups that were part of it even in the midst of the hyper partisanship of the u.s. senate on the issue of puppy mills senator durbin found willing partners on the republican side of the aisle my 1st co-sponsor was rick santorum one of the most conservative republicans from pennsylvania he was on this boat with me and then after he left the senate i had senator vitter from louisiana another very conservative senator so it turns out that when it comes to humane treatment of

animals and dogs in particular this is very bipartisan if a bill like pops went to the floor of the house of the senate it would be an overwhelming yea vote for the measure it would be $9095.00 yes votes in the senate you know be 400 or so yes votes in the house out of 430 but the problem is on an a well for legislation the congress is that many of the bills you get track to the house and senate committees on agriculture and those committees are populated by the most rural lawmakers aligned with the biggest agribusiness interests in the united states. no no crowd. no shots.

actually helps me. well it struck no. point sure your thirst for action. as the u.s. economy was booming gaining numbers of people were made homeless. you can work 40 hours in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still is the land of opportunity the reality of it is we're not financially equality and the lack of affordable housing or living minimum wage gave many people no choice. that's been a problem with the city and always turn a bitch i told you stay away almost. too since if that's what it if there is no it's because yes that requires resources the most vulnerable were abandoned on the streets to become the invisible class. throughout the years

members of the senate agriculture committee have received enormous campaign contributions from agriculture giant including months santo tyson smithfield and cargill the sides these direct contributions each of these corporations spent millions of dollars each year lobbying congress. seemingly afraid of how a theoretical slippery slope protecting dogs in puppy mills could hurt their operations corporate agriculture sided with commercial breeders they get loads of campaign cash from these agribusiness groups because that's the funnel for the legislation that these agribusiness groups want who doesn't want to protect dogs and yet somehow industry find a way to tristan around and make you scared into voting against those commonsense positive public policies they typically oppose any animal welfare legislation because they think they're going to be next and they think that if you have

a society of it is incrementally building animal welfare standards. it's eventually going to lead society resentment there even with strong public support for commonsense changes to the animal welfare act none of these bills were allowed out of committee recognizing the original intentions of the a.w.a. and the advent of commercial breeders selling exclusively over the internet the u.s.d.a. moved on their own to update the regulations so the administration seeing the enormous number of senators and u.s. representatives backing the legislation and getting hundreds of thousands of comments from h.s. us members and other animal welfare advocates they finally passed a rule to bring these internet sellers under the regulatory authority of us to before the change in regulations nearly 7500 facilities across the united states

were subject to inspection. besides commercial breeding facilities this includes research facilities zoos circuses marine parks transport vehicle television and film productions involving animals state fairs camel rides petting zoos elephant right and traveling and or roadside zoos. in 201-3115 u.s.d.a. inspectors conducted between 101-1000 inspections on these various facilities approximately 3000 of those inspections were conducted on commercial dog breeding facilities since this change in policy will now also require commercial breeders selling on the internet to obtain a license the u.s.d.a. estimates that there will be up to $4600.00 additional new facilities under their inspection umbrella based on their own projections a total of between 10 and 12000 facilities will now fall under the inspection

provisions of the animal welfare act this change will increase the workload of their 115 inspectors by newly a 3rd. the u.s.d.a. has no plans to add additional inspectors i think since the real big came into effect the number one way that we've gotten contacts are people's names as people suffer porting we do we have looked at breeder registries to get i did get numbers we watch the internet a look at. marketing promotional things from folks that sell over the internet so this is a good move for dogs that it's now part of the animal welfare act but again our question's going to be how are you going to enforce that because you're having a very difficult time in forcing a law that was already in place and now we've just added a new dimension to it and we've got a 115 people. stationed across the country to do our inspections. their

workload is prioritized by risk based system so we get them to those places where they're most needed and at this point in time we do feel like we have resources to be successful in doing this you know i worry about that we're the time we're coming back and spending appropriations in every direction and they say they have enough to get started but i want to keep an eye on it even documented us yea inspectors who had their old puppy mill themselves documented supervisors of inspectors who were out working as roofers during the day and they're supposed to be out check you know their inspectors i mean enforcement was absolutely atrocious and has bad since the inception of the act and it was just recently in the last couple years that u.s.d.a. has really turned around and started to enforce the laws but on the books since 1007 were seeing a closing of this loophole that allowed internet sellers and we just have to continue now with our effort to educate the public that the best place to get holes

is a shelter or rescue group or a responsible breeder who is really treating the other dog like a pet and not a breed. machine. usually have a number so he actually has a tattoo on his ear as he's auction and that's my bird it's not that my business name once we got him he was shaking a lot because he didn't know what to do he was trapped in this tiny little wired cage. we don't need a crate with him he will just stir freaking out into the wall when it's raining anywhere near and. that is the meaning. of e-mail abhi mail. me ask me i am going on well now camarines i'll be known as i guess that's mean as i

said what i meant i was out there. and i swear he's really really cute he's so out he's really cute in the your body your skull and these 2 in here came from a hoarding situation in philadelphia we took in 39 little blue so why lock box that makes this. guy. our our. dog was probably about 9 months old even months old and the dog was so full of joy and just wanted to get out run around and the dog was down on the salvos playing in and it was in a rabbit hutch standing on wire but it desperately wanted to get out and. can we take this dog no i just got the dog we're breeding the dog i'm just starting to breed or so this was years ago and then every time we went back i would see this dog and the dog was getting older and older and he didn't want to anymore because she wasn't a good breeder and i was looking at her and her eyes were dead and within i would

say about a month beast she started to come around and i could see the dog that i remembered from before it's a shame that had to go through all that you know her entire life just consisted of this misery. and we need people to start realizing that these poppy mills exist these puppies and pet stores come from puppy mills whether you believe it or not that's where your dog came from a puppy. thing that he's really crossed was they're not rescuing are saving a puppy by by buying their dog what they're doing is they're sensing the mother that dog to a lifetime of misery you know you know the general public doesn't stop buying poppies a stock i change it's just it's not going to stop i'll be down as the day i die and

i owe a lot and i hope i hope i don't have to spend my days to save dogs we americans are treating dogs like members of the family we all love them in their beds to sleep at night we spend money on them we give them life saving better and care a society that values dogs is not is and it's going to tolerate this abuse of dogs on puppy mills. until the public is willing to forgo the purchase of a puppy on the internet or in pet stores no regulation will end the suffering of thousands of breeding dogs trapped in commercial mills across the united states and humane societies rescues impounds millions of dogs are awaiting the chance to join a family if the general public decides to adopt and not shop the factory farming of puppies would and. the power really does lie in the people what we have as a movement is

a 1000000 households who care about animals and who are willing to pick up the phone and being able to tap that our that is what should make any puppy miller terrified the other side has a much more difficult test they've got to convince people that keeping dogs in confinement for their entire law is. denying the vector exposing them to a true to the cold is an acceptable way to treat go these are elected officials and they work for us and we're going to make sure they work for us we know we're up against a lot of corruption and consumer fraud and animal cruelty but i think it's every time you educate that one person that could be the next person who makes a difference at the state house or at the local level or even at the federal level that sickens me gone. home i do think that it's really important people if they see something going on especially i mean i mean just as they should bring it to people's attention you know people to know what's going on out there and. they just

feel otherwise change is not possible. 20 years from now we'd all like to look back and we know what's going to happen we're going to what back and we're going to say thank god we don't have anymore i can't believe the way we allow people to treat these dogs.

god. god . god.

my god. i have. my. life.

no one else so famed wrong but old roles just don't hold. any new world belief yet to shape our disdain for conflict advocates and in games from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground may. the sudden forced and illegal takeover of a government by a small group. rather than revolutionaries or soldiers could that small group

the disaster here a satellite images of the area before and after the blast all surrounding buildings were leveled by shock waves which reportedly felt as far away as cyprus explosion happened in the densely populated port area of the city there are some 1st hand accounts of the moment of the blast. the area where i live it's very far from the port that the smoke blast and destruction due to police reached out. to that only if you saw the 2nd explosion occurred in the last thing i saw was dust and glass cutting our bodies i saw the remains of people on the ground and people screaming and children crying on. what happened it was like a nightmare it is because of recklessness it was an explosion or a bombing or whatever it was due to reckless and. i went towards people and told them we should not be here at that moment i turned around and i was here by something in my right hand that's when the big explosions started it threw me to

the ground. and to the destruction is left the city's emergency service is overwhelmed residents have taken to the streets to help with the clean up operation local journalist my reports on how people in beirut are coping with the tragedy. baiter with one of the oldest cities in the world with a 5000 year history leveled in the space of a few minutes the explosion and fire destroyed buildings within a 10 kilometer radius turning this bustling city into a bomb crater. the of. the for.

the for. this here is one of the busiest streets and. it is host to tens of shops many of which are for internationally known brands today it is covered with shattered glass and rubble and people are trying to pick up the pieces of what was caused by the explosion yesterday this here area is known to be very joyful it used to be very crowded and very busy very colorful unfortunately today it looks very sad the disaster that happened today it's. like. a lot of people full of lives and the situation and the young adults around do everything got destroyed this is the 2nd time in history that the roof has been destroyed like this it doesn't look like the route i feel like i'm in a different country not only is this area known to be as

a commercial hub and to one of the most important places for shopping and leisure at the level of lebanon as a whole but also many of these buildings are actually or have a lot of historic importance there are landmarks which was toward the lebanese civil war and following the lebanese civil war many up. one was destroyed lebanon has you had billeted these buildings back in the ninety's today again unfortunately we find that much of them has been destroyed and they need your habitation all over again. this isn't the beirut we know we know beirut is the middle east which is heartbreaking to see that all the buildings have been damaged and homes destroyed this disaster the worst in lebanon since the lebanese civil war is yet another body blow for the country after 9 months of empty government on the economy was already in a state of meltdown half of the population is below poverty line food prices are soaring and the currency is devalued now baby wood has to find yet another way to rise from beneath the arches. the lebanese government has more than $66000000.00 to deal with

the aftermath of the blast the international community is also coordinating its relief efforts to help beirut get back to normal life buses among those helping sending father mergence and planes to the lebanese capital very mobile hospital will be deployed. in a harrowing story that script the united kingdom a grieving couple seeking justice after being forcibly removed from their dying daughter's hospital bedside video shows the father of the 6 year old girl being violently dragged away in handcuffs during a scuffle with medical staff after refusing to leave the room and that was just moments after the family was told the little girl would be taken off life support warning some viewers may find the following scenes upsetting is the reason we see the food we eat the food they're taking much of our social says she's going to go i thank. you

thank you very much. that incident took place last year but police body count footage is now being released as part of legal proceedings the couple's daughter zeinab had been suffering from complications related to a red genetic disease known as neiman pick when doctors at the hospital established nothing else could be done to help her parents both doctors argue for alternative courses of treatment before tensions escalated sadly zeinab skin dition deteriorated and she died weeks after this incident is what her parents had to say i think you can never get over the tragedy of losing a child and in and chase it was not just the last same hour it was the circumstances in which we lost and the toxicity and surrounding it she had a temperature that day and said that these things should be treated and there were a few other things and school that actually been talking about our lives in her

treatment and then pushing her on a c. . weaning her eventually and that's an old us reject such how complete. the following gains. she had. been. you know legal or illegal and normal. human needs rights you know it was. really through her. around her hospital that it was just trying to ensure the safety of patients and staff being that it did not take the decision to intervene lightly meanwhile police are going to the sensitivity of the situation for say they were simply performing their duty the parents are suing the police for wrongful arrest and so they may also signal action against the national health service. a clearly clearly you know disgusting we were discussed in our meeting initially i went into into shock i didn't know what was happening and i thought it was

a bayer dream and if when i began it will all be over and i will be just hugging and kissing in. my road but sadly it was not too happy i ended up having a heart attack it's a terrible situation which is really. not easy for us to be writing in got to be. any do really well and then emotions get better or worse. i knew you could well understand journalist better means i'm dashed nearly a year our. family. n.h.s. and it shouldn't only long ago you know parents should have you know the ultimate. you know that they have the ultimate welfare of a child at heart nobody wants a child but equally they will that after their child. feelings are least 75 years since the united states struck the atomic bomb on japan

city of ashima 3 days later on august 9th the bombing of nagasaki followed the attacks led to thousands of civilian deaths or scores of people continued to die years after the tragedy due to severe burns radiation sickness and other injuries. mock local you know the sun. or not as if you know much the words emits a sin must die for you are you. will need to guy night. i get the meat on this and . get it while you must be.

out and jerks i have passions gakkel haven't you cares you can't i want you to have to share crap every night. and there's euro about particular. danger question that. i had to cut down at my desk when 90 architect. of a on you may have had to. guess and she knew to have a gun at you but you have to have commissioned. memorial events have been scaled back this year because of the planned but a small ceremony still took place in hiroshima prime minister in the marrow of the city we're joined in the city's peace park the few surviving witnesses of the horrific event they marked the blast with

a minute of silence at. the u.s. and japan are forever linked by that tragedy but it seems the gap still exists in people's understanding of it. much. against the u.s. . japan and just. the consequence of war they brushed up. their numbers so long. was it a result. like harbor the pearl harbor had something to do with the us response to . yeah that's that's pretty much all i know.

we're. fixing terms of. it being justified i don't know i think it's tough to blame people for the mistakes of history and see why something like catastrophic should go like an apology were like but preaching chaos or retribution but obviously you some solidarity something to recognize that loss of life. reparations one way or another i'm not for reparations i'm native american beef think of more get any that's not going to happen it's not going to happen for the japanese. japan is a strong relationship with the us including with the trump of ministration although there have been a few stumbling blocks the latest coronavirus spike in okinawa where the us has military bases and good japanese officials also been reports that donald trump wanted japan to pay for hosting the troops u.s. steel tariffs in the white house's withdrawal from the trans-pacific partnership have helped the situation we search around asia specialist tim bill says the

partnership is far from an equal one. there are underlying problems trump obviously has exacerbated the relationship with japan i demanded more money for american troops forcing says japan sunni's united states for its free militarization and so forth and it's locked in this alliance and it's very difficult for it to break out on the other hand there are good reasons for developing more autonomy and we will see that as years tarsus american target kline's effect is a sort of a vassal alliance no it's not an alliance just to sort of equal independent states for the united states japan is a major facile to be used against its enemies and its main enemy today certainly in east asia is china is he was out the united states japan would have no huge problems with it we are china the alliance is still there and it's probably

not going to go away so it's frayed but still in place. the atomic bomb didn't just change the political landscape of the coach or want to tell takes a look at how the deadly blasts have to form the popular culture we can see one a day to day basis. there are moments in history in our memories so powerful they have shaped our culture tragic but defining of the mushroom clouds billowing over the japanese cities of hiroshima and nagasaki. for decades the us suppressed almost all footage it was only in the 1980s that color images sought by the us military posture be released to this day the material has never been shown in its entirety.

but out of the unimaginable suffering roy who's a new pop culture in america the devastating release of radioactive particles change the country's take on comic books and superheroes spite of the fantastic fool the incredible hulk all derived from exposure to radiation. we've never seen anything even close to your levels of exposure. you find an event like. a superhero we smell better than ever it's the old regional scenery. i don't believe in the us atomic power was mostly about heroism and influence but japan how different take associations were instead made with destruction and mutation take up

a new killer mutant rampaging through the streets of tokyo to city payoffs a kind of crisis powerless before us. but a. as relations between countries change so to do the movies to follow in king kong an epic battle between the japanese and us pop culture icons atop mount fuji is defeated tell. it around 10000000 what to watch that film in japan and it remains the most watched in the cuts in a series to date but turned out japan had a knack for shaping our childhoods from hello kitty in a route and they were as much hits a broad. i couldn't get enough of them it didn't matter if i could see the wires and the seams in the costumes and the least moving when the words didn't it was so

fanciful and imaginative it what's japan was at the forefront pop culture and technology from the nintendo game console to the last possible cassette by sony it's mania the kids of america saying this is great we've got to have one for boys in this country between the ages of $8.15 not having an intent is like not having a baseball bat japan continues to successfully export its pop culture rangar an anime some say that creates a sort of outlet from nothing is from the anxieties that paid trip that $0.05 back in 1905 but teenagers in the us who consume the poverty and colorful characters and stories don't see this fantasy is being created to escape from the darkness of tragedy. thing without international joins me for more news stories after this short break.

summer. where every summer we look at solutions all the problems they cover on every other month of the year now today recovering to globalisation the dollar is a. process which is game speed under trial but what set in motion really understand 41122001 when china became member of the world trade organization time that attorney chris france and author of beating the dragon. a more robust world view one in which we move business as usual but guess what. we prepared for. a lot cheaper reduced mobility it's a lot cheaper than having.

a man in charge of russia's anti doping agency could face dismissal one stay the supervisory board of rosado recommended that the country's a limb pick and paralympic committee consider sacking director general you know to gone after in order to resolve the revealed a number of significant financial wrongdoings in the story from our correspondent. just take us through them please see allegations in this case. well you regard us retains his post as chief of rosado for now he's post his term officially runs until 2021 but yesterday's vote by the supervisory board is essentially a vote of no confidence and now be up to the russian olympic and paralympic

committees to decide his future fate now this all began in spring what allegations emerged against the result of boss of nefarious activity they were backed up by the russian olympic committee which subsequently ordered an audit of rosado which revealed a number of concerns the allegations of corruption of conflicts of interests of misappropriation of funds some of the highlights the audit question if it was really necessary to spend millions of rubles tens of thousands of dollars on taxi trips on english lessons for you regardless as well as trips to strasbourg cyprus and other places abroad as well one of the most serious allegations of course though was levelled passenger gates that that he had misappropriated up to $1500000.00 of funds from the antidoping body. the fact that their son the provided individual services was about 57000000 rubel since 201853

main ruble since 2019 might potentially indicate crowd behavior we do not think that the internal monitoring applied by risotto can provide the proper level stuff economic security you're going to dismiss these allegations he said it's part of a campaign against him a pressure campaign against the russian anti-doping body stating these are simply efforts to make him leave his post he says he's provided orders from previous years as well as explanations for the auditor is stating he doesn't understand the reason as to why this pressure has come about for him to be dismissed. it's not clear to me what grounds it's being recommended that i be fired resign or strongly denies the conclusions of the audit if the russian olympic and paralympic committee has decided to fire me it will change our relations and aggravate the situation in russian sport. now water following this vote of no confidence has also cool called

for clarification they've questioned the validity of the legal process to oust you regardless and stressed the importance of the result of the russian anti-doping agency having independence from outside pressure be that from the russia the limpid paralympic committee or other or thirty's there seeking further clarification on the matter now this story of course stretches further back than just spring you regardless became head of risotto back in 2017 he inherited a very complex situation with the russian doping scandal allegations at the time he succeeded in getting rosado reinstated with international sports bodies that decision was late to reverse by water which said the russian anti-doping agency was noncompliant and falsified test results it was later banned once again. russia was subsequently also banned from international sports competitions for a number of years which they appealed in court but these events pending of course

you regard as his dismissal should that of course they place will further complicate relations between russian authorities and international sports bodies further making it unlikely of any reversal on that. because the latest on that story our correspondent daniel hawkins thank you. always a cruise shipping industry has been brought to a halt amid an outbreak of corona virus cases among passengers on wednesday authorities ordered a cruise ship to dock in the town of bordeaux and all 200 passengers to quarantine came just days after $44.00 people on board another ship are tested positive for the virus the cruise line which was one of the 1st to resume sailing in the country during the pandemic has apologized. first off i'm sorry really let us forensic we're very sorry for the situation that has occurred you were working intensively with the municipality and national infection control. our main priority is of course it will take care of our crewmembers who are on board at the shia and the guests who have been on british consulate sorties are yet to determine the origin

of that outbreak the fears of widespread infection the been heightened by the fact the cruise ship docked at several ports along norway's coast allowing passengers to disembark all ports have now been ordered to close to create ships for 2 weeks incident has divided opinion among norwegians. because i'm not worried about it there's just as much reason to be worried about norwegian tourists who travel to spain or other places in europe we had to come back to normality some point anyways so this is one step her down the road. i think is alarming that they relaunch so quickly and that they didn't follow the quarantine rules the employees on board but i'm not worried about infection spreading to. we spoke with norwegian law professor who told us that the risks posed by the virus are being dangerously overlooked. danger all reading the virus within the sheep in their

estimate by many people and well they didn't take the necessary precautions. in the way the debate has been very much about whether the rules actually where followed but i believe that the rules are you know that for example that there is no guarantee and for as you said. even the ship. that there is more supervision of cantina robin restrictions on crewmember snarks warding in norway. this is all to international thanks for your company to join me for updates in alpha. was a pandemic no certainly no borders and just plotting to nationalities. has

emerged with turkey we don't look like seeing the whole world to. judge a. commentary crisis like this. we can do better we should. everyone is contributing way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenge is great for the response has been so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.

a short time ago an american airplane run by hiroshima. standing up. to go grandstanding. on diligently. chin it's. like most americans growing up after the war the bombs were a great thing they ended the war they say hundreds of thousands of lives on both sides and that's what my grandfather always said was his reason for the decision. truman was hoping for a dual strategy one was to drop the bombs and hope that japan would surrender and number 2 the americans were trying to send a message to the soviet union there was american poor planning in october 145 and had chosen 20 targets and russia.

greetings and sal you taishan as my friends since the very 1st protesters took to the streets in minneapolis over the murder of george ward to the recent protests in portland were groups of mothers fathers and military veterans are joining hands and readying their leaf blowers to push back against the tear gas and nightsticks the us establishment class and their mindless pundit followers have tried with all of their might and public relation teams to paint these protesters as dangerous

terroristic groups of crazed and to leftists who who could at any moment burn down your favorite courthouse or church after kidnapping your blonde blue eyed children and forcing them to read howard zinn while listening to k.r.s. one and watching old fidel castro speeches at any moment that's going to happen we saw this last tuesday during u.s. attorney general william bar's testimony to the u.s. house judiciary committee when u.s. representative matt gates worriedly asked the bar about the possible spread of mt if these protests in portland were not contained. is it your view then that chief and other violent people engaged in these acts would simply stop would simply accept that as their sole victory or is it your expert opinion having dealt with a number of law enforcement in criminal cases and your legal career that that they wouldn't stop that they would go to the next town to the next community and

potentially inspire more violence if there's no doubt in my mind that it would spread. it would spread to one town up to another and another community oh my goodness they're a coming for us. well except like always truth gets in the way truth in the form of actual statistics you see it appears that the threat of extreme leftist groups and individuals including anti statistically pales in comparison to the violence committed by right wing extremists here in the united states of america according to recent findings by the center of her strategic and international studies that were reviewed by the guardian of the nearly 900 politically motivated attacks and plots in the united states since 1994 only one paid talent he has occurred from an attack by anti fascists and that the tally was the perpetrator himself he died in the attack while trying to carry it out meanwhile during that same stretch of time american white supremacists and other

right wing extremist groups have carried out attacks that left at least $329.00 victims dead. so my friends who is the real threat to peace on our streets here in the u.s. of a let's find out as we start watching the hawks. what's going on a city the streets. that are so let's see this is this. state see a. great city this least systemic deception is the late show which i would say that you feel. welcome everyone watching the hawks as you know i'm tired of winter oh and i was so amazed my goodness we need to watch out for and t. feel we need to watch out for these leftists extremists except they don't actually or haven't actually hurt anybody realistically 994 absolutely we known this for

a while the president was trying to ratchet up here and he created this outside group that was coming to destroy america as we know it and according to the research like you. showed it was all a lie yeah that's what the hoax it was i mean when and 1st kind of came about i mean chris hedges actually had a wonderful conversation just kind of saying hey showing up to protest where an all black and a ski mask is not a good look in optics no matter how just your cause maybe you'd still be the average person sit at home you look threatening. but none of the violence that we've seen happen since the murder george was in the protests that we've seen happen over and over has been as a result of these folks here most of it is outside agitators in fact on tuesday while attorney general barr was telling those scary stories about anti from capitol hill the minneapolis star tribune reported that the now infamous figure the one we also hold me umbrella dressed in black kicking in mirror kicking in windows at autozone. in minneapolis just before the looting and all that took place

minneapolis says police say umbrella man was a white supremacist trying to incite george floyd rioting according to their according to the work the police is doing up there they've narrowed down who they think this person is. scary thing about that is apparently if it is this person that they say it is he even went to my high school he graduated from my high school back in 2006 which doesn't surprise me because there are those pockets up there there are those pockets of right wing extremists white supremacists all over the place you know absolutely and i think that the more we dig into stories like this the more we'll see that these these groups that are really causing the crazy uprisings who are you know lighting buyer to things where flipping over police cars and all of that are your protesters so the people who we see donald trump and his acolytes out here basically throwing all types of shade on me he's trying to reel do you think that he's calling chaos what he really needs to willie and his white

supremacy and we know that he's not trying to do that he doesn't even want to acknowledge that white supremacy think this no because the i guess to him is is i don't i mean it's one of those things right. get it but again it's that thing words like you know he's trying to tiptoe because he wants to keep his voters he's putting he's putting the needs of whatever voting bloc he wants to appeal to before the actual peace and security of the country is what will come to see him absolutely and then the fear that comes along with that is that he's willing to label peaceful protesters as terrorists as anti-american as an archivist meanwhile you have this group of subversion actors who are homegrown terrorists some white supremacist here who are causing all types of chaos and mayhem and yet aside from the report that we're doing right now to be honest i'm not even hearing about this on any bit of mainstream media and very few people are actually picking up on the story at all and that's because look far right extremists apparently a lot of this research is killed at least 38 people in just 2019 and that's according to the anti-defamation league far right extremist was possible for 76

percent of all extremist related murders according to the defamation league i mean that is really where we have a problem with people in this country and it's and it's shocking that we're not really looking into it i mean even the f.b.i. was more warned about there's a bill trading law enforcement way back 10 years ago more than 10 years ago you had no one did anything absolutely none christopher ray actually you know he talked about it at one point and then we're seeing this administration still act like none of this is ever happened and it doesn't exist and that data doesn't matter it is post trauma i hope that regardless of what happens to excessive thing we kind of get into this thing of like once trump gone from school and all this problem disappears it doesn't disappear but i just hope that like you know if you remove this person from all you know of the voted out of office that somebody actually takes this seriously down the way. the wonderful world of sports it's a new challenge almost daily with kobe 19 cases continuing to spread across the u.s.

sports teams are faced with major decisions major league baseball team they mammie marlins recently announced they were temporarily polishing their season following the latest round of college 1000 tests the team's most. recent test results showed a growing number of positive players bringing the total to 15 players among the $33.00 who traveled for their opening series here's tell us more about how the in milby is tackling and what this means for the league's players is r t america sports producer regina hamm what religion or wearing a grim reaper outfit during that news all the time you do bring bad news all the time i know it's hard because i'm like i know she's not going to tell us anything positive but i still hold out for that well moment where. regina we know that several other leagues have opted to have a bubble for players and personnel to minimize the risk of their covert 19 exposure or potential exposure but it will be have that option and they chose differently do you think in hindsight 20 twentieth's that's a problem for them how do you think they're going absolutely we're seeing it right now as a fact of today 800 players have now tested positive on that marlins travel squad

you are venturing very close to 60 percent of your squad having the current a virus and in a row they have the idea they will go to arizona will put everybody in the bubble at the n.b.a. the national is soccer league m.l.s. is doing you know leagues that have actually been successful with this and baseball when we don't want to do that well just condense the schedule have it be geographically determined you know division to determine ok fine on our seeing the result of that that these marlins players who reportedly went out bar hopping in atlanta during an exhibition game are the reason this is happening and will be commissioner rob manfred has an interesting thoughts on the scenario and we should listen to those. i don't put this in the nightmare category i mean obviously we don't want any player to get exposed. it's not a positive thing but i don't see it as a nightmare we built the protocols to allow us to continue to play that's why we

have the expanded rosters that's why we have the pool of. players and we think we can keep people safe and continue to play think strong words. you have those pools that this is you shouldn't be using them right. basic question but is there any way for major league baseball america's pro bowl part of the whole bit to put a contingency plan in place in case the season does need to be canceled i think at this point you're hoping you know it's 60 games and $6060.00 that is not a lot of season you run the risk now that the marlins are going to play until it's monday at the earliest so now you're running the risk of missing the give or take 45 days where you're not having any games you have no room to make that up and will be at this point didn't think that hey we're going to operate like that just like they didn't think the trying to blue jays can play in canada and did not seem to have a backup plan for that either so we were hoping that the league is going to find a way to be like you know what we just quarantine

a whole team and remove them where 2 teams in m.l.s. they did that they had to make a positive test in room selves in the tournament i don't we can't do that because you've already set the schedule you have already set these events in place and now i guess we'll just have to play patchwork and try to figure out what exactly is going to happen if you have this happen somewhere else examples of like texas where they have higher heard of us cases there regina in terms of some of the other sports you know we talk about college football in the n.f.l. could it be a telling sign since baseball was considered to be at least be safe enough what does this mean now for the outbreak and possibly affecting some of these other sports that the key word is safe enough you're looking at the scene where you're a diamond you're pretty far spread out but you're still in a dugout you're still in a locker room you're still in places where you can't always do 6 feet apart cause trouble is a tackle sport you are touching other people college sports you are touching other people you are seeing the n.f.l. go back to training camp this week they have very strict protocols in place but that doesn't mean you're going to keep people safe and college football is a whole nother level of well we'll just figure it out because again they don't have

a commissioner who can make league wide decisions every individual conference major conference has their own commissioner to make a decision so it's really going to be happening where it's going to go in the. it's sad too because whereas as you look at it you know i look at it and say look i understand i understand m.b.a. like oh we're almost done if we can keep people above all we can finish out the season and kind of have a crown a champion and do all that and then to me it's like why don't these other leagues just say you know what let's take the hit let's take the last people are going to love us when we come back anyway let's just not do this for the rest of the year and start again next year when we know it's safe it's ridiculous i'm sure you've heard of the almighty dollar of course is a very big reason why these leagues aren't doing that and i think rob manfred is now seeing oh my goodness i maybe should have done this double yes it wasn't if not going to be perfect you will still have that odd case but you want have to worry about a travel team having almost 60 percent of its team in quarantine and i mean i don't know i want to watch sports without an audience so you know as a big man as

a guy like moto play audience. thank you very much regina always a pleasure having you on even though you always bring bad investments or not we're going to make sure that our story of good news some time move forward all right and as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on demand through the brand new portable t.v. app which is now available on all platforms so you have no excuse to go out and get it coming up we cover a canadian court's recent declaration that the united states. is not a safe place for asylum seekers shocking now with immigration attorney alan orange or he will break that down stay tuned to watching the whole. as the u.s. economy was booming and growing numbers of people when they did this. you can work

40 hours in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still is the land of opportunity. the reality of it is we're not financially equality and i'm not going to florida housing living minimum wage give many people no choice you know that's been a problem with the city can always turn around and told me stay away i don't listen . to that. because you know it's the requires. the most vulnerable are abandoned on the streets to become the invisible. summer solution where every summer we look at solutions all the problems a car on every other month of the year now today recovering to globalization the dollar is a. china. process which is game speed but what has

set in motion really on december 11th 22001 when china became member of the world trade organization time that attorney chris france and author of beating the dragon . how can you explain. i've been to 82 countries i didn't 12 but i came here and in those 3 days i just filled with hope. and he kept pretty. sick show. i made my decision to come here because i felt i knew i could build a new life soon at the. companies and. decided that this money is no good to be free. my one dream is that all my children 'd find the same kind of happiness i do. i

love my home i love cold weather i like the culture i like the history i like everything about it. and i know that. i am. russian from a. u.s. president donald trump never stopped ratcheting up just when the tory policies were his most hated group immigrants and it's not just disgusting rhetoric like labeling immigrants as rapists murderers and folks coming to steal your jobs in elections no trump and his cronies have gone beyond employment tory and racist language to by

late the rule of law in their treatment of immigrants just a couple of weeks ago trump's plans to send born students back to their home countries if colleges didn't have campus sessions was walked back you'd think after such a big blunder don't move on and you'd be wrong he's a laser focused on dismantling dhaka the obama era program that allows 700000 immigrants to live and work in the u.s. legally since 2017 trump has worked to strip dhaka recipients of work permits and ultimately deport them. the president came under fire for adding a citizenship question to the 2020 census and even though the supreme court blocked it trump is dead set on finding a way to end it anyway and the trumpet ministrations and gilding discriminatory policies against immigrants haven't gone unnoticed by neighboring nations in fact a canadian court this week ended a longstanding deal of allowing the country to send asylum seekers back to the u.s. out of fear that the united states would detain them and deport them

a clear violation of the rules of asylum here to break down the crisis facing dhaka recipients and asylum seekers immigration attorney eleanor welcome alex. wellen trump has tried multiple times to dismantle datta piece by piece. so you know measures we wait for element come back to you know what skype and we've got to do you know we've got to do we can. it's amazing to me seeing how trump over and over again and now with darker is essentially saying whatever supreme court says i would do anyway and no one ever really stops them absolutely it's it's compounding to me because every time he gets stopped president trump finds another way to basically the law and try again and it's something that i think keeps immigration attorneys immigration reform as well as dr recipients and those who are seeking you know seeking asylum in their toes because it seems like

this administration is dead set on not following the rule of law dead set on trying to punish as many immigration and asylum seekers as they can and to dismantle all things that obama put in place but specifically doc and finally here to come break it down for us is once again alan or is back to write little title difficulties aside we're back with bob i'm glad to have you. thank you so hard to make sure michael moore was moving bass that we have lost you know overs champus tried multiple times to dismantle daca piece by piece. what is different about this latest round of attempts and why is a conservative leaning supreme court seemingly pushing against it. so i think the major issue here is that the supreme court has already decided that he had the power to end aka but he didn't do it the right way and not doing that a month ago they said that you had to go back to the original rule which meant new people could apply and people could renew their application and what you find is

all monday of this week the trumpet ministration band back and said ok we'll do renewal but instead of doing them for 2 years we'll do them for one year and we won't take any new application so that is in direct conflict of the supreme court's order so this is a constitutional problem that is beyond just saying the trumpet ministration is against aka the judgment ministration it is against the rule of law because they went to court and it was settled and now they're not living by the rule that it should have been felt by actually today there was a hearing where congressperson europol basically asked the director of the ins are you allowed to go against the rules of the supreme court and the answer was no. and that's basically the result of the hate and fear and also one day in the white garden the president said i am for these dhaka folks and the people who supported the case then why are you rolling back this level of protection for them at this time. a 1000000 dollar question dr recipients are are in limbo and have been for

several years now i mean they must renew their status every 2 years and have no real way of knowing when the world one in the world comes when the world they've come to know might be ripped out from underneath them what will it take for congress to pass actual conference of immigration reform and what key elements are necessary to protect the rights of immigrants asylum seekers and these doctor recipients. well senator durbin on monday introduced a bill that says we for the dream of the doctor classification so that both house and could potentially move it move forward because as we all know almost 90 percent of americans are behind protection for these individuals who came in as minor but it basically is going to take the same thing it takes for congress to do anything to basically get off of the gavel and start moving forward and get back to la making a little sizing every conversation in the media you are correct or the last an administration is when it's you know when it's sort of addressed for now is it to basically address the issues clear of all the other issues aside

a budget issues and what have you they need to be paid. the point and alan i'm sure that you probably agree on this one president trump technically doesn't disparage all immigrants just those from certain countries african nations for instance mexico central and latin america he famously said we should have more people from places like move away and he's tried to cloud his racism with saying that those with special skills and education would be top priority but even with that only seeks to allow in white immigrants at what point in this nation's history that the immigration debate gets so racialized is this a trump care issue or is it something that. proceeded. well this is the definitely chuck berry issue i mean isn't there a cult or even a stratification and then with a start out to 6 and then when $155.00 it's sort of earth japanese nationals and indian nationals but the sort of races undertones of this administration the threat of people coming in is what's really unnerving right because now everybody who

believes in christianity and the right of individuals and helping individuals is against asylum which is a legal form of entering the country they're actually asking today in that same hearing conservatives are asking think in the asylum applicants actually pay for their own application called $100.00 or even $50.00 for people who are fleeing for their life or this is something that is president of this country that you've never seen before and specifically over this black and brown people the people you see in detention center are black and brown people well the undocumented population of this country represents every nation right there are only concerned with asylum seeker at the southern port of entry not asylum seekers that fly over from china or from other countries as a matter of fact i know right now as the largest number of individuals who have actually applied for asylum so you are dead on when you think about these things in addition to that they have a laser focus group which was the public georgia rule that was put it a day in the supreme court so they could go into action and then just a few hours ago a new york district court put it back at bay and saying that now you cannot enforce

this law but georgia rule with the state department or with you and basically that all the struggle with allowing this country to say if you're poor or if i think you're ever going to be or you're not allowed to come into this country so it's very something influential that sort of hurt people who are right here in our region all those caribbean countries and all those people from latin and south america apparently while living in new york all the years of the president and many members of cabinet never actually took the time to visit the statue of liberty and you would have a can of them had an interesting decision to protect asylum seekers by keeping them in canada and sort of sending them to the u.s. as i mentioned earlier what message decisions signal not only should have signaled us to the summit here in the united states but also to the rest of the world. it's to go something to the mention of also done moving away from a global player just a bit in the right from the fundamental human rights that we've always discussed and it basically said listen we understand that the united states is our partner we've had a great relationship with them but looking at our constitution based on the

demographic come to our country and the way they were treated in the us we can not say that they need country anymore and that's the reality through their core they have moved past the politics of looking at the reality of an immigrant who would mistreat in the united states very simple to understand if we moved away from the u.n. and moved away from humanitarian right we still are families that are separating california who would have been reunited last under court order or still separated family that what we think is the american what everything means that a family around him working at the white house in the middle they are still separated why are we still having that conversation. yes why are we still having this conversation about thank you so much for coming on today educating our audience i always love having you on alan thank you always. thank you for having me . and finally today while well none of us none of us want to see anyone flying the flags of the confederate south anymore 1st because you know it's racist and

represents slavery 2nd because well it's racist and represents slavery and 3rd because honestly give it up the confederacy lost back in 865 it is now 2020 get over it put the plugs away but again while no one wants to see these symbols of slavery and oppression flying anymore it is also important to make sure that the confederate flag one is fighting to take down from public display is. actually a confederate flag because that is what happened to poor kirsten and greg often back or owners of the nordic pineapple in st john's michigan the often bikers are owners of a civil war era mansion turned bed and breakfast in st john's and since 2018 in celebration of norwegian heritage have flown the flag. norway proudly outside their front door alongside the stars and stripes until now after their besieged by complaints from folks who thought they were flying the confederate flag yes people actually confuse the country of norway's flag for the southern cross flag of the

confederacy wow and they had to take it all they don't have any of them live to each other except they are made of the same color it's like i get the instinct hey if you see the can better take that down file a complaint and you as well you should but make sure do your homework make sure that's what you're actually staring at all right everybody that is ours over here today remember everyone in this world we are not told that we love them up so i tell you all with all sincerity i love you i robot interrupted my music i keep on watching all those hawks out there and have a great day and night everybody. join

lebanese capital is slowly reviving after being stunned by a deadly explosion in the pull to beirut with humanitarian and medical aid coming in from all over the world. 75 years after the atomic bombing of hiroshima by the united states japan marks the anniversary of the tragedy with a minute of silence japanese and americans what they think about the events of $945.00 when my mother was 7 months pregnant with me the atomic bomb was dropped my cousin tommy thompson 5 died of leukemia coming after 75 years i'm still very sorry to those who guard the terms of. it being justified i don't know i think it's tough to believe people for the mistakes of history. video emerges of

a father being violently dragged by police for refusing to leave his dying daughter's hospital bedside after being told that she would be taken off life support of parents and seeking justice. and. it was not just the same deal with the circumstances in which she loved. the thanks for joining us this is r.t. international. star this morning in lebanon which is trying to recover from the massive explosion in beirut that killed 135 people and injured another 5000 some residents are still missing the local authorities say the number of dead and injured is expected to rise as rescue workers are still clearing through the rubble in the search for survivors to give you an idea of the scale of this disaster here

a satellite images of the area before and after the blast all surrounding buildings were leveled by the shock waves which were reportedly felt as far away as cyprus the explosion happened in the densely populated port area of the city it was from firsthand accounts of the moment of the blast. if you go by the area where i live it's very far from the poor and the small glass and destruction that took place reached us. to that end if you saw the 2nd explosion occurred in the last thing i saw was dust and glass cutting our bodies what it was i saw the remains of people on the ground and people screaming and children crying on the scene with what happened it was like a nightmare just because of the recklessness thank you and it was an explosion or a bombing a was have and this was due to reckless. but on a plan that i would almost as a lump of wood i went towards people and told them we should not be here at that moment i turned around and i was here by something in my right hand that's when the big explosion started it threw me to the ground never the extent of the destruction

has left the city's emergency services overwhelmed residents taken to the streets to help with the clean up operation local journalist reports now on how people in beirut have been coping with the tragedy. beta with one of the oldest cities in the world with a 5000 year history leveled in the space of a few minutes the explosion and fire destroyed buildings within a 10 kilometer radius turning this bustling city into a bomb crater. this

here is one of the busiest streets and. it is host to tens of shops many of which are for internationally known brands today it discovered was shattered. rubble and people are trying to pick up the pieces of what was caused by the explosion yesterday this here area is known to be very joyful it used to be very crowded and very busy very colorful unfortunately today it looks very sad the disaster that happened today it's. like. a front of people full of lives and the situation. everything got destroyed this is the 2nd time in history that the route has been destroyed like this it doesn't look like the route i feel like i'm in a different country not only is this area known to be as a commercial hub and one of the most important places for shopping and leisure at

the level of lebanon as a whole but also many of these buildings are actually or have a lot of historic importance the or landmarks which was toward the lebanese civil war and following the lebanese civil war many of them was destroyed lebanon has you have billeted to these buildings back in the ninety's today again unfortunately we find that much of them has been destroyed and they need to habitation all over again. this isn't the beirut we know it is the middle east it is heartbreaking to see that all the buildings have been damaged and homes destroyed this disaster the worst in lebanon since the lebanese civil war is yet another body blow for the contrie after 9 months of antigovernment on rest the economy was already in a state of meltdown half of the population is below poverty line food prices are soaring and the currency is devalued now baby with has to find yet another way to rise from beneath the arches. the lebanese government says a number of port officials have been placed under house arrest pending an

investigation into the tragedy meanwhile the authorities of allocated hold $66000000.00 to deal with the aftermath of the blast the international community is also coordinating its relief efforts to help beirut get back to normal life rushes among those helping sending 5 emergency planes to the lebanese capital or a mobile hospital will be deployed. it's been exactly 75 years since the united states dropped the atomic bomb on japan city of hiroshima 3 days later on august 9th the bombing of nagasaki followed the attacks that thousands of civilian deaths of scores of people continued to die years after the tragedy due to severe burns radiation sickness and other injuries.

mock local you know it just. kind of war now is out there much you would see him it's a sin must mortals hook up or need to guy night. i get the meat on this and. get it while you must be. out and jerks i have. haven't you cares you kind of want to chat to share every night. and there's euro about particular. danger question that. i had to cut down at my desk when architect. of a on you had snapped on her hand guess and she knew to have

a candidate for dinner and have commissioned. the moral events have been scaled back they see it because of the pandemic but a small ceremony still took place and had a prime minister and the mayor of the city would join in the city's peace by the few surviving witnesses of the event they mocked the blast for the minutes of song . united states and japan are forever linked by the tragedy is what people in new york and hiroshima say about the events of 945. take a drastic measure it's here and i like to say i feel like i haven't learned much about the south against the u.s.

. japan has just. been the consequence of the war they brushed up on. me and i say as their number so long. was it a missile or something like harbor maybe pearl harbor had something to do with the us response to coral arbor. yeah that's that's pretty much all i know. we're. fixing the terms of. it being justified i don't know i think it's tough to blame people for the mistakes of history and see why something like that catastrophic should go like not an apology or might but the phrase should pay off for retribution but obviously to some solidarity something to recognize that loss of life to make reparations one way or another i'm not for reparations

i'm native american the finke of my get any best not going to happen it's not going to happen for the japanese. but. when my mother was 7 months pregnant with me the atomic bomb was dropped my cousin was also an atomic bomb survivor i have leukemia that after 75 years i'm still very sorry for those who die i didn't. know you when i think the use of the atomic bomb was unexpected rob there was no reason to do it the military situation was utterly hopeless for japan perhaps it would have taken much longer for the water end would have been over without the bombings and the war between japan and the us it's a shame the us hasn't apologized to japan for the bombings. it's very important to see it out loud to emphasize what the real purpose of the hiroshima bombing was if we keep silent the propaganda war we. want to purchase had

a strong relationship with the us including with the trump of ministration of there have been a few stumbling blocks the latest occurred there are a spike in okinawa where the us has military bases his anger japanese officials have also been reports the trump wanted to plan to pay more for hosting the troops u.s. steel tariffs and the white house's withdrawal from the trans-pacific partnership they haven't helped the situation researcher in asia specialist tim bill says the partnership is far from a quote. there are underlying problems trump obviously has exacerbated the relationship with japan i demanded more money for american troops forcing arms which says japan obviously needs united states for its remove try sation and so forth and it's locked in this alliance and it's very difficult for it to to break out on the other hand there are good reasons for developing more autonomy and we will see that as years tarsus american target kline's in fact is a sort of a vassal alliance or it's not an alliance or to sort of equal independent states

for the united states japan is a major vassal to be used against its enemies and its main enemy today certainly in east asia is china is he was out the united states japan would have no huge problems with china the alliance is still there and it's probably not going to go away so it's frayed but still in place with a thong bomb didn't just change the political landscape but the copra one. looks at how the deadly blast up to form the popular culture we can see on a day to day basis. there are moments in history forever in our memories so powerful they have shaped our culture tragic but defining of the mushroom clouds billowing over the japanese cities of hiroshima and nagasaki.

for decades us suppressed almost all footage it was only in the 1980s that color images sought by the u.s. military will possibly be released to this day the material has never been shown in its entirety. but out of the unimaginable suffering roy who's a new pop culture in america the devastating release of radioactive particles change the country's take on comic books and superheroes spite of the fantastic fool the incredible hulk all derived from exposure to radiation.

we've never seen anything even close to your levels of exposure you find an event like. a superhero only smell better than ever steel which no sirree. i don't believe that in the us atomic power was mostly about heroism and influence but japan how different take associations were instead made with destruction and. take a nuclear mutant rampaging through the streets of tokyo the city chaos a kind of crisis powerless before us. but a. as relations between countries change so to to the movies to follow in king kong . at pitt battle between the japanese and us pop culture icons atop mount fuji is defeated. saved around 10000000 went to watch that film in japan and it remains

the most watched in the cuts in the series to date but turned out japan had a knack for shaping our childhoods from hello kitty in the roots and they were as much hits a broad. i couldn't get enough of them it didn't matter if i could see the wires and the seams in the costumes and the least moving when the words didn't it was so fanciful and imaginative it was japan was at the forefront pop culture and technology from the nintendo game console to the last possible cassette by sony it's mania the kids of america saying this is great we've got to have one for boys in this country between the ages of $8.15 not having an intent is like not having a baseball bat japan continues to successfully export its pop culture like minder and animate some say that creates a sort of outlet for math is from the anxieties that paid triggered by events back in 1905 but teenagers in the us who consumed the property and colorful characters

and stories don't see this fantasy is being created to escape from the darkness of tragedy. after this short break scene about. summer solution where every summer we look at solutions all the problems they conquer on every other month of the year now today recovering to globalization the dollar is asian and china. process which is game speed under trump but what set in motion really understand 41122001 when china became member of the world trade organization time now to turn the 1st fence and beating the dragon.

to more robust worlds would be one in which we do business as usual but guess what . we prepared for. a lot cheaper reduced mobility you know there is a lot cheaper having. welcome back in a harrowing story to this group the 90 kingdom a grieving couple who seeking justice after being forcibly removed from the dying daughter's hospital bedside video shows the father of the 6 year old girl being violently dragged away in handcuffs during a scuffle with medical staff after he refused to leave the room that was just moments after the family was told the little girl would be taken off life support

a warning some viewers may find the following scenes upset. it's going to reason with syria to pull. out scientists for their taking care of our battles if she's going to die thank you. thank you may. the incident occurred last year but place body comfort is is now being released as part of legal proceedings the couple's daughter had been suffering from complications relating to a red genetic disease called neiman pick when doctors at the hospital established that nothing else could be done to help or the parents both of whom a doctor's argue for alternative courses of treatment before tensions than escalated suddenly say nobs condition to be rated and she died weeks after this incident here's what her parents had to say. i think you can never get over the tragedy of losing your child on another case it was not just the last same hour it

was the son constantin in which we lost her and the toxicity and surrounding it she had a temperature that day and she said the east into the treatment and there were a few other things and. all of that actually talking in our muslim eyes in her treatment and then pushing hard. between her the translator and that in all of this region so to have. the following gains the truculence he had normal human being. you know legal or illegal and normal. human needs rights you know it was. only to her. around her. now the hospital asserted that it was only trying to ensure the safety of patients and staff adding that they did not take the decision to intervene lightly the more police have acknowledged the sensitivity of the situation but said they were just

performing their duty the parents are suing the police for wrongful arrest and say they may also seek legal action against the n.h.s. . i clearly clearly you know disgusting we were disgusted i mean initially i went into into shock i didn't know what was happening and i thought it was a baby dream and if. it will all be over and i will be just hugging and kissing. my daughter but sadly it was not i ended up having a heart attack it's a terrible situation which is really you know not easy for us to be writing in sort of because we're aiming to really be used and an emotion is going better or as. i knew you could well understand that that means i'm jewish you know you're our. family's. n.h.s. and it shouldn't. you know parents should have you know the ultimate.

you know that they have the ultimate welfare of a child heart nobody wants. but equally they want that last one child. the man in charge of russia's anti-doping agency could face dismissal on wednesday the supervisory board of rosado recommended that the country's olympic and paralympic committee is consider sacking the director general of euro gunness and suffer a notice to resign or revealed a number of significant financial wrongdoings it's going out there now for a 4th on a daily hawkins good morning daniel lowe take us through then the salient points of this case. will you regard us retained his post as chief of the russian anti doping agency for now his position officially expires in 2021 but it's precarious yesterday's decision by the supervisory board is essentially a massive vote of no confidence it will be down to the russian olympic and paralympic committees to decide risottos chief fate this story of course stretches

back to spring when allegations of nefarious activity by rosado by you to garner some margin. they were backed up by the russian olympic committee which launched an internal audit of the doping agency now about what it allegedly found a number of violations corruption conflicts of interests misappropriation of funds some of the key allegations with the spending of millions of rubles on tax affairs on english lessons for you to go and trips abroad to cyprus strasburg perhaps the most concerning one of course though it was allegations that the chief had personally profited from his conflict of interest to the shoot up around $1500000.00 those were the allegations put forward in that order which the company had said there was no explanation for. the fact that there are some of the provided individual services worth about 57000000 ruble since 201853 main ruble since he sells 19 might potentially indicate crowd behavior would you not think that the

internal monitoring applied by usada can provide the proper level stuff economic security. now you're gonna says flatly dismissed these allegations he described them as a concerted campaign against was saw that of and against himself to get them removed at one point even publicly commented that he had no intention of taking his own life should anything happen to him indicating he's got fears for his possible safety he says that he and risotto provided documents and information that proves they are in the clear from these allegations and he's got no idea why the supervisory board chose to take the decision that. it's not clear to me on what grounds it's being recommended that i be fired or resigned as strongly denies the conclusions of the audit if the russian olympic and paralympic committee has decided to fire me it will change our relations and aggravate the situation in russian sport. water the world anti-doping agency is also way that into the scandal

they've questioned the validity of the legal process against you do they. stressed the importance. of pendants from outside pressure such as the russian olympic and paralympic committee and they said they'll be writing to russian authorities for further clarification but of course this scandal goes just beyond. much wider implications. became head of risotto back in 2017. to the complex situation in light of the russian doping scandal at one point he managed to get risotto reinstated by international sporting bodies that position was later overturned with water snakes. biting them once again as well as. he is now appealing that of course. the decision is on still pending many of them.

this of course this decision should be dismissed by the russian olympic committees this will heighten the tension that is a really there between russian. sporting committees and international sporting bodies meaning it could be more difficult for russia to. cooperate with authorities and ensure that russia does get a fair chance to compete international events. reporting thank you. brings you right up to date wraps it up for this news hour appreciate you staying with international i will return with more top stories in just over 30 minutes.

french this year but sad to not get it back as part of other d. it's a great piece a lot of stuff a lot and more a right to golic for big voice although i would die i was soon i don't the guy millie know i'm very quiet retiring as you knew i like to look. like behind a blue shelf. but the question in what you've been doing during the the law what is it like for do when the performances as no place to go to the required power from the fight so many people be but look at economic hardship but just the lack of fight to put up with the few rating of even planning for the the future of what is a an act of do good in lockdown initially of course i was just resting. and enjoying the rest that i wanted to have for 15 years more l. this horror show was going on outside so it was you were almost like an

a little bubble and you couldn't even get in touch with each other but i realize a few weeks and i got i got really really low runnable oh when the yuki had $40000.00 dad and blacklegs marks out of all the awfulness of that an offender said to stand and at one point we've been about the whole situation that just just came out and that was the breaking of the downturn of of our actually then think what do i think you see a lot of us but i also realize that my job is to make people feel better and i've let me give a lot afghan a little flip. and not be able to do you know what was haven't quite an employee at the mental health of their kid or that that not being able to to communicate and reach in connect with people which is a regardless of what plague you're doing well or what television sure you're doing that and and not knowing also whether 'd you are ever going to be able to do it

again and was was really really. difficult and i think knowing that i can sense of that and speaking to other doubters the performers that i have and i don't think anybody has read you know the novel journeying at the phone to actually the whole situation stayman. that he attended to that was going on and and i thought and believe it or not for me it's been said now say that i never thought i'd say those words but actually exercising is the one thing is maybe fear more 'd rape and to go back to film and do a comedy series called to do isto and to go to film not. will be september to think better it will be a whole new world. elim probably is no active in scotland the few elsewhere who do more live performances and you do of a whole variety of kinds of analysis of what you think the impact on audiences

because it will for many people will be the visit for a punt away there is you know as an on your highlight that collective experience what would you think would impact the of more generally us of of the the few from going public not being able to enjoy the collective experience well interesting way the other night an experiment was done by andrew lloyd webber at the palladium in london with the wonderful beverly knight and i found out and they wanted to see one could be socially destine sena but also what the experience will be and i think that need for people to to assemble from the grips right the wreath through to another day is to gather in one place to experience something together that is really really important because over the years in or chuch is the places that people will gather are small community don't have that anymore and much as it's nice to connect with people and zoom or whatever it may be it's not the same it's

not the same as as your being and one room and should you're in lockdown lot of people were like our father would have been soon quizzes and all about but it's not the same and i had actually more difficult to communicate that in their experience of beverly and i at the end of june a half 1000 seat they knew and they were loaded about $400.00 people in a 30 socially destines west must the show a particular spine tast it what the collective experience was not the same and i know that there was a part of and read a great piece about it that that there was a part where she did a particular saw and during it though it is not applauding and i. i think but they're not as vocal because the reader must is up and their plight and at one point she did a song from cats at the memory of which she had played in the west end musical and the whole audience stood up and she started to cry because it was the 1st

human real response because they couldn't stop themselves from standing up and applauded her for her lucia done it and i think that small we will really really neat by christmas how we're going to do i don't know i think that people will need that release and that desire to gather again all and i think particularly for young people i had a professor the other day saying that the biggest sacrifice in all of this has been made by young people out of the trying of the latest not being able you know that exams all about and i know go you get you know the occasional thing you know if those people gathered in for a read that they shouldn't you understand it you understand that absolute collective need for all of us to gather the experience something together with other people. join us after the break elaine c. smith tells us about her own breakthrough in political theater and we continue our

discussion about the scottish in luck with finding director of the scottish theater gathered for dale. 54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to heal some air force base in alaska where is that to say come on i'll show you what's the reason for any type of enhanced u.s. military presence in this area russia. what is it suddenly about the south china sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil. take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says

to 2 kids. across the u.s. cruel puppy mills are supported by dog shows and pet stores most of the puppies are coming from this large scale factory farming kind of operations are being sought in stores even joined by good businesses are involved like cargill and mom santa there has been a shocking amount of organized opposition to efforts to increase the standards of care for dogs bred in commercial breeding for so many most of that opposition is coming from huge agricultural groups and industries that have nothing to do with jobs don't buy dog on o.t. . a more robust moral formula one and which we move business as usual but guess what. he prepares the car gods. as a lot cheaper it reduced mobility you know the jury is a lot cheaper than having luck that.

you cannot be both with the yeah you are. welcome back elysees meth is one of the most familiar faces on comedy shows on television but she made her breakthrough in political theater she continues her discussion with alex. let's look at your own career one of the many many strings to your bow was prudent political theater in scotland where your great foods was worth the suddenly before moving company but didn't buy it over the last generation how much will influence political feat of been on the political landscape of scotland can you point to set in place productions to encompass which

have actually been influential in the in the scottish psyche in terms of the attitude to politics i remember going see lists that says leave it in glasgow or as a john a student 72 for i am for the uninitiated sanity or sued for 7 percent of the population or 84 percent of the wealth but that started me you know sort of walk me up if you like and then seeing them on stage i love the guy give a 70 to 4 though they had a big grapevine with 72 for the to come in the site and they were out in the highlands tournament and the divine was the petrol station and they said to john her gonna and the guy said what is that so far so is that 7 percent of the population or if you 4 percent the wealth they gather was really to brag about as that. was that no matter where they get your political quiet sadly it's now

suddenly 30 percent of the population or 90 odd percent of the well if it was done but we were how what they called that new. and of subsidize the a cannot let borderline the young lyceum that the traditional lyceum was daily sort of middle class jobs through the poorest people but the young lyceum the child their belly carly rae plays for the head to macmillan and through ploy to literature you had people like james kelman and tom leonard and les law all coming through right and. and seeing a voice is matter but they were all part of a of this new wave of with named up of independence about where the country was that mostly art was happening in these small companies and i and i think those companies as part of that we live in the 1970 s. through things like scholarship beats are coming out and saying we've got

a horse you know you may not agree with it maybe and it was sort of the action to that side of all the gains that london be middle class paper feel you know and you're also a brilliant writers that well they're also from liverpool right these bridge stories and jimmy mcgovern and and yet so you had all or us of people coming through and feeling the same at the same time i mean john mcgrath extatic right now and save costs they're iconic c.d.'s and but he all these guys knew each other and they were determined that the that they had something to see about the world and and help people understand so finally leaves this movie what's next once we get through this pandemic as we will you go to form the 3 main pick company or are you what's was those what was worship push of plums all over the postponed

demick future i don't pick lovers out a lot of the free. i i just i would keep going on and my politics i never want to be a member of a party are anything like that i've always felt that i was a more important voice if you like as as an independent voice outside and against your freedom to see that song and any government will do things or the mystics that generally a sterile what ever 10 people make them laugh and make them feel a bit better and the wire her and i think i think we may need that quite a bit in the months to come. stuff stage screen may your late continue to shine brightly and thank you for joining me on the alex salmond show that asian . guy for dale has been a fixture of the artistic scene in scotland for more than 40 years as a drama teacher writer and producer today he speaks to alex about the productions

he's been involved with and also those which have never made it to the screen. drama teacher producer writer you've been a fixture of the artistic see the scott one for the last half century but i want to tom 1st of all your early achievements as one of the founders of the scottish you theatre i'm interested you know when you see get a butler card and go learn the k.t. tunstall of douglas henshall on screen and some huge production out of the state of self or that was nearby the idea of to phone the scottish if the 40 years ago. well thanks for saying that alex i certainly diverted my career at that time as a theatre director and producer but i thought it was something worth doing i had been a teacher of drama and schools in glasgow and i would watch all the hard work

in the thirty's as i'm that they had shown in drama and english classes dissipate and we see the sea pupils pushing a pram down the street with no opportunities in front of them. other guy standing in a street corner you know trying to catch cigarettes from somebody solve could understand from my experience of meeting these young people that they were full of absolute energy and quite a number of them had serious talent and ability it was very raw it just needed to be refined and one way of doing the course giving them confidence you having on the ability to communicate better and language was to set up a national seat or but i wanted it to be a national theatre of young people where they worked with adult professionals not with other amateurs that was the difference and i actually managed to get started.

a lot of gas into this program elaine see smurf were what was telling me that there was actually a year who suggested that she might there try our hand up there the 74 feet of cup there are a political theatre is that correct what did you put in just see a cease fire for all these years ago that said. someone who could make a way and that paper for that type of drama well i'm grateful to elaine because he's one of the few people who remember my phone number and her and remembered it was me who actually said yeah you have the ability. take a chance go in and try the profession i did warn her she might get typecast. but she could avoid kitchell czeisler parks. elim see smith as somebody i would call larger than life and so i actually saw a light. saw there wasn't any way one could tell someone like that now. i mean how many others by the way we have said you could agree voice going to going

to read you. are you know did do news reading and in fact there are 2 of them who did exactly that no one agree clear sense so it needs a good ear but no alina somebody who stands out in the crowd and acting is all about you know of course what i'm extraordinary pains than the festival should be in full swing this week and of course of the virtually nothing of what there is as it. is the absence of the then but a festival as a big blow to the arts of scotland or as our only one aspect of their way the these that their pandemic is causing all well no i mean it's just a tragedy that the festivals shut down and drove through the other night you know on just to clear my head and it was a it's a dead city it was completely lifeless. i think sus or somebody cross the road at one point that was about it saw

a mess of. all that activity although all one of my complaints about the festival has the the stand up comedians are taking over a great chunk of it as they have television and every festival part of the else is a great discipline for productions and performances i mean a few years back i had one myself and we had to get the set cleared for their de lorean play that was on the need that were before us and if we went over our exact . one hour then the north korean dancers who were on after us were getting fidgety in their if their room sir settler taught you to the state strip timetable of production would that be one of the one of its assets oh i don't know i mean i'm not. a supporter of. turning out factory sausages in the us think you need to look time and you need you need to be able to work with the audience and they need to enjoy it and have time afterwards to talk about it. depends who's running the venue

doesn't it alex and you know at the end it. this is all it's all money. old enough usenet expression but i'm old enough to remember when you could do you could send them almost any production in the festival and do it was very little money and get a venue for next to nothing but it's getting so commercialized no that. it's quite disappointing let's look at accessibility more generally when it can be very difficult to get the finance together to a production but is huge so difficult to get the television series or a or a film a them in the money required is a huge obstacle how big a baddie other is that getting great works on to the screen over there be television or cinema well we scots don't mix well it's not really we're going to

see films but we do it really make them the few that do will make a film about their youth because they're young people themselves and the just left film courses. university in scotland so all they have as their last few years to look at they're going to create something that suppose young people. scotland never grows up you can name a dozen films. about young people have come up to scotland in the past 2030 years it's very hard to name a film about adults many treats but it was essentially young people. solo the difficulty is the funds are in london and when people tell me it's the you know the british the british film industry and british television it has been it's the lish film industry and television 100 been some spectacular comedy

successes from b.b.c. scotland over the years there's been some some series of comedy which not only of produce they're great stars but how the away the audience elsewhere whether we're for without subtitles. there's always that an exception to the rule you know the b.b.c. used to have a good comedy unit they used to have a good drama unit but you won't see any sunset sons being made by b.b.c. scotland anymore b.b.c. london as the lot as authority and you have the money they have the decisions b.b.c. scotland is distantly and no pause so finally go for the record be a message to the creatives youngsters of the scotland of today just for your message all these years ago as the there for people to join the theatre what would be a mess is the creative yell for scotland it is they're looking for the future. well

my or my own not one of my daughters is a chip off the old block she's a seat a director and. i pleaded with her to try and stay in scotland. to create work here and she has done that a few times but now she's down south so all like me she had to leave our own country of her birth to find work just look at big sean connery you know he led the way for a whole myriad of scots actors who follow in his footsteps but it would be nice if we could keep so a lot of that talent here or at least keep coming back because the work is here. go for vale dramatist to educate a writer thank you for joining me on the all examine show you're welcome the edinburgh festival constitute the largest in the world deborah french alone was due to start this weekend and picture more than 60000 performances with 2500 separate

shows that's more than 300 venues the economic impact is massive and perhaps a familiar i knew a grumping of edinburgh denizens about getting their capital back will be placed into some context you only mess what is really valuable when it is no longer there were widely live performances across the eyes so one of the key industries suffering from corporate and occasional online performance and experiments with socially distance concerts are hardly an effective substitute government assistance will only scratch the surface of the looming artistic recession and then this impact on the public elaine c. smith the surely correct in saying that the inability to gather for the shared experience is one of the most profound psychological impacts of the pandemic on people it is a for the trust in the krona virus thought which doesn't point to any happy endings in this very human and global trauma but for now from alex myself and all that issue it's good bye stacey i mean hope to see you all next week.

anyone else shows seem wrong. why don't we all just don't call. me old yet to. equals betrayal. when. we choose to look for common ground.

the level of lebanon as a whole but also many of these buildings are actually or have a lot of historic importance the are landmarks which was toward the lebanese civil war and following the lebanese civil war many of them was destroyed lebanon has you have billeted to these buildings back in the ninety's today again unfortunately we find that much of them has been destroyed and they need to habitation all over again. this isn't the beirut we know we know beirut is the middle east which is heartbreaking to see that all the buildings have been damaged and homes destroyed this disaster the worst in lebanon since the lebanese civil war is yet another body blow for the contrie after 9 months of empty government on rest the economy was already in a state of meltdown half of the population is below poverty line food prices are soaring and the currency is devalued now baby wood has to find yet another way to rise from beneath the ashes. for the next government of port officials have been placed under house arrest pending an investigation into the tragedy. of allocated

a bayer dream and if when i big are it will all be over and i will be just hugging and kissing in. my road but sadly it was not too happy i ended up having a heart attack it's a terrible situation which is really. not easy for us to be writing in got to be. any do really well and then emotions get better or worse. i knew you could well understand journalist better the reasons i'm dashed maybe you're our. family. n.h.s. and it shouldn't only long ago you know parents should have that you know the ultimate. you know that they have the ultimate welfare of a child at heart nobody wants a child but equally they will that last one child. has been exactly 75 years since the artists a stop the atomic bomb on japan city of hiroshima 3 days later on the 9th of august

the bombing of nagasaki followed it taks lead to thousands of civilian deaths while scores of people continue to die years after the tragedy because of severe burns radiation sickness and other injuries. mock local you know this. kind of war now as if you know my 2 words emits a semester. to guy night the day i get to meet on this. day why you must.

say. you care haven't you cares you kind of want to chat to day. every night. and as you're about to take i. gotta. get smashed. i had to cut down at my desk when i get to. where you had to. guess and she had to have a mechanic you had to have and have commissioned. the more live events of being scaled back this year because of the pandemic but a small ceremony still took place in hiroshima japan's prime minister and the mayor of the city were joined in the city's peace park by the fuse surviving witnesses of the horrific about the blast of the minutes of song.

of the u.s. and japan are forever linked by the tragedy here's what people in new york and hiroshima say about the events of 945. take a drastic measure it's here and kind of like honestly i feel like i haven't learned much about the stuff against the u.s. . japan as just. the consequence of war they brushed up on my home and i think their number was so long. was it a result or something like problem hardberger maybe pearl harbor had something to do with the us response to for a lot of or. yeah that's that's pretty much all i know if our.

we're. fixing our own serves of. it being justified i don't know i think it's tough to blame people for the mistakes of history and see why something like that catastrophic should go like not an apology were like but i'm pretty sure it's chaos or retribution but obviously to some solidarity something to recognize that loss of life the same kind of reparations one way or another i'm looking for reparations i'm native american beef think i'm going to get any there's not going to happen it's not going to happen but it dip nice. when my mother was 7 months pregnant with me the atomic bomb was dropped my cousin was an atomic bomb survivor i have leukemia that after 75 years i'm still very sorry for those who died. when i think the use of the atomic bomb was unexpected rock there is no reason to do it the military situation was utterly hopeless for

japan haps it would have taken much longer for the war to end would have been over without the bombings and in doing tween japan and the us it's a shame the us hasn't apologized to japan and. it's very important to say it out loud to emphasize what the real purpose of the hiroshima bomb what if we keep silent the propaganda war when. japan is a strong relationship with the us including with the trump of ministration been a few stumbling blocks the latest coronavirus spike in okinawa where the us has military bases japanese officials have also been reports struck wanted japan to pay more for hosting the troops u.s. steel tariffs and the white house's withdrawal from the trans-pacific partnership haven't helped the situation researcher in asia specialist says the partnership is far from being equal. there are underlying problems trump obviously has exacerbated

the relationship with japan i demanded more money for american troops forcing purchases of japan obviously needs united states for its remilitarization and so forth and it's locked in this alliance and it's very difficult for it to break out on the other hand there are good reasons for developing more autonomy and we will see that as years tarsus american target kline's in fact is a sort of a facile alliance no it's not an alliance to to sort of equal independent states for the united states japan is a major vassal to be used against its enemies and its main enemy today certainly in east asia as china is you without the united states japan would have no huge problems with china the alliance is still there and it's probably not going to go away so it's frayed but still in place it's only bomb didn't just change the

political landscape of the coach will want to ask you tell it takes a look at how the deadly blast helps inform the popular culture we consume on a day to day basis. there are moments in history in our memories so powerful they have shaped our culture tragic but defining of the mushroom clouds billowing over the japanese cities of hiroshima and nagasaki. for decades us suppressed almost all footage it was only in the 1980s that color images sought by the us military posture be released to this day the material has never been shown in its entirety.

but out of the unimaginable suffering roy who's a new pop culture in america the devastating release of radioactive particles change the country's take on comic books and superheroes spite of the fantastic fool the incredible hulk all derived from exposure to radiation. we've never seen anything even close to your levels of exposure you find an event like. a superhero we smell better than ever it's the old regional series. i don't believe in the us atomic power was mostly about heroism and influence but japan how different take associations were instead made with destruction and mutation take up a new killer mutant rampaging through the streets of tokyo to city pay off take out

in crisis powerless before it. but. as relations between countries change so to to the movies to follow in king kong. at pitt battle between the japanese and us pop culture icons atop mount fuji is defeated. around 10000000 went to watch that film in japan and it remains the most watched in the cuts in the series to date but turned out japan had a knack for shaping our childhoods from hello kitty and the roots so they were as much hits a boards out so. i couldn't get enough of them it didn't matter if i could see the wires and the seams and the costumes and the least moving when the words didn't it was so fanciful and imaginative it was japan was at the forefront pop culture and technology from the nintendo game console to the last possible cassette by sony
