good morning just turned 10 am here this saturday the 8th of september in moscow life marty's world news age q a brand new update for you kevin i would hear welcome to the program. first the condition of the prominent russian opposition activist alexina valmy has improved and he's no longer in a coma though german medics treating him haven't given any prognosis yet nor have they presented any definitive proof or details as to what caused his illness but that hasn't stopped the u.s. president already from laying the blame at the kremlin's door hinting germany should end its project with russia or the north stream to gas pipeline. but i've been supportive of that i was the 1st one that worked up you know heard of the north stream to it so truck. when i came along i said wait a minute we're protecting germany from rush right as for germany

itself russia's partner in the gas project it seems to be caving into pressure this morning it's not teaze but when correspondent peter all of the reports. blong before alexina volley took a long flight from siberia to moscow and ended up here in berlin receiving treatment berlin has been under pressure to drop the north stream to gas pipeline project in the past despite threats and sanctions from the united states and criticism from some of its european partners burleson and always viewed this economic project as a separate entity to anything else now what we're starting to see is some signs of a different message coming out of the german capital we've heard from friedrich merritt's who stands a very good chance of being the potential successor to under merkel when she steps down as chancellor next year he said that if he had the power right now he would issue an immediate 2 year moratorium on the gas pipeline project and in fact in the

last week we've heard senior voices within the german cabinet and some voices that speak directly for the chancellor herself saying that there is potential for one east halting all stalling the project basically what it previously been unthinkable is now being talked about as potentially possible is this i lay off my tufty this is 1st and foremost an economic project we consider it to be the right thing to do i think that we should be coupled these issues and in our opinion north rim too should be completed. for folks i think would be room throughout from the beginning but what is happening now is could have an impact on the project and the federal chancellor also sees it as room to rule that out both germany says the future of the gas pipeline depends on how russia responds to allegations of poisoning of the leg saying a volley with a military grade nerve agent moscow says they're willing to play ball but calm to

the moment because evidence and data that germany says it has regarding the poisoning of all of the alleged poisoning of alexei navalny hasn't being transferred to moscow without. they can't proceed no answer has been given to any official requests from the russian prosecutor general's office or to any of their requests from our doctors nothing 0 on monday we got an update on the status of alexei in the file in the he's being taken out of the coma the medics it kept him in for just over 2 weeks he's being weaned off breathing operators are starting to breathe on his own and we know that he's responding to visual to all of all stimuli . other news this morning a saudi court to scrap the death sentences of suspects in the killing of dissident journalist jamal khashoggi 5 people were given reduced terms of 20 years jail 3 of those received from 7 to 10 years a top u.n. official slammed the move the saudi pursue curator prefer md one more act today in

this parody of justice but this verdicts carry no legal or moral legitimacy they came at the end of a process which was neither fair nor just or transparent it may family said they forgave his murderers was changed a lot it cleared the way for the revised sentences under islamic law but the journalist fiancee's no commented on the trials calling it a complete mockery of justice showed he was seized in 2018 more visiting the saudi consulate in turkey reportedly get papers for his upcoming marriage the journalist was allegedly dismembered his remains of never been found those sentenced are believed to have been part of the hit squad sent to turkey from riyadh political analyst alessandro bruno told us despite the horrific nature of the crime west want to ensure justice. the fact that no official was tried. actually raises many more suspicions for the world community the opinion won't change the

idea that the saudi government was behind it remains in fact if anything this only proves it or at least goes further into that direction countries that deal with saudi arabia diplomatic and business levels won't have any technical formal reasons to hold relations so whether while public opinion will certainly be negative at a technical level there will be no sanctions or other penalties that will impede saudi arabia from working with other countries. i profile member of the bellows opposition has reportedly been arrested on the border with ukraine it follows claims by her supporters on monday that maria kalashnikov of the opposition is coordination council have been kidnapped by better receive curity offices let's get started then the sas could tell us a correspondent on this from this morning morning saskia again it's a very conflicting info on the stories becoming out over the last 2448 hours

straight for us as you know this morning. well indeed this is a somewhat strange and confused story so one day the news reported that rick les who is one of paterson's opposition figures she was also the campaign party that's also not not who was defeated at the recent presidential election what question was apparently adopted and meant she was snatched from the street and bundled in for chad by our no man and sex police thought out a missing persons a war they started an official so not a peep what article came out they were can start up whereabouts and this includes people beyond that of russia germany and britain for example said they were worried they did not answer. brussels meanwhile threaten sanctions and also demanded an end to what it says is the arbitrary detention of those critical that's our fiction and . it is clear the truth or it is embarrass continue to intimidate or allow

intimidation of its citizens in increasingly lawless way and crudely violate both their own domestic laws and international obligations. well a few hours later and it doesn't seem quite as clear cut as many initially thought because now multiple versions of this story have now according to the head of the better russian authorities collapse occur and 2 others cross the southern border into ukraine around or am local time on tuesday a video has also showing a car which is clean those 3 were drawing up to that handing over that documents for inspection interacting with the border guards and passing through them and rumor started that the 2 she was traveling with did pass a french ukraine but blessedly didn't do it she was actually arrested at the border this is something that was dorothy's do not instead they say the classic. was

thrown out of the car so in that video and that you want us to continue with our cranes lighten a great speed drive dangerous iraklis people who are in regular contact with 3 say that they have a case they haven't heard and. they also don't know where they are they are. there is the claim that none of that wanted to leave but. the story isn't convincing it is not notion that if they did go into ukraine they would cause the following in the footsteps of really that hand that you cannot who are who went to the way. up the elections either way there are just so many conflicting and i'm concerned. really difficult to decipher what exactly happened perhaps time or provide some clarity or the pros have a spade a small. british police are suffering from a large rise in

a riff known as cough and spit attacks suspects taking advantage of fear of contamination with officers in the midlands county leicestershire complaining that they cannot do their jobs properly because of it. it was the record they interviewed yeah they are. saying. that. the rise in assaults has huge impacts on stuff both physically and mentally and it has a huge impact on communities thousands and thousands of days of policing a lost because of these assaults. the number of such attacks has doubled has been hundreds of cases in just months in leicestershire alone that's up on barely 100 incidents in the same period last year when you think about it awful as that is just not just spitting cough attacks either assaults on law enforcement a shooting up generally across the board leaving staff understandably nervous in

fact the there's been a 21 percent jump in attacks on british police during the lot almost 8000 cases have been registered in just 3 months a former police officer himself peter kirk and warns that covert 19 these days has given suspects new weapons that against the authorities. has provided it's. another way of people who would assault police by whatever method is available another wife 'd for them to get in ensue into offices. you know why i feel will be more just at the moment. it's just provided them with another weapon really the issue is wider than just the spitting spitting and coughing in offices that we're seeing with the covert epidemic and the problem in the decades 10 years of i don't see police narrative by the government gleefully repeat it by the media

resulting in respect and confidence in the police being severely undermined and not just before we saw. the place of being criticized to every. symptom of a problem this country is hard to develop in for some time which is someplace growing rapidly in both. this. morning i'm kevin q this morning a lot ahead to tell you can stick around criminal activity in sweden you would think is on the wrong prompting authorities to look at expanding wiretapping crucially known suspects that's proving hugely controversial what do you think about it talk about it after the break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race on the spear in dramatic development that only . exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down. we're entering into this strange place you know i think about in the ninety's at the beginning of perpetual copyright and so we're caught. essentially laws become perpetual and intellectual creativity is dead and to a large degree now after petrol live at home so the dynamism that would be coming with new household creation is dead and to a large degree. perpetual all money printing money and money pritchard's o'berg so we have this deadening of economic growth because the the printing

money keeps the zombie companies and the zombie banks alive so we're we're basically burying ourselves in perpetuity. and the covert catastrophe has been a boon for us with home video streaming companies not surprisingly i suppose reporting a massive surge in subscribers and profit the head of netflix even admits that the pandemics been a lucky break for the company in fact every major tech player has vastly increased earnings in the long amazon's revenue in the 2nd quarter was up 40 percent making almost $900000000000.00 from online shopping apple's revenues increased 11 percent to almost 60000000000 meantime streaming services such as netflix we're talking about that have doubled subscribers in just 3 months but they now face

a backlash from authorities from 2021 the e.u. is looking to introduce a digital tax european lawmakers want tech firms should subsidize economies damaged by months of law. it is not possible to accept the idea that those digital giants the winners of the crisis are not paying a fair amount of taxes in europe and we can't manage this problem with single digital taxation we need at least at the european union level a general measure. economics professor rich involved believes the taxing text to answer is just the 1st step to raising rates for all big corporations i think you've seen it already we have a history here in the united states of taxing monopolies an oligopoly these are huge businesses but it always takes pressure from below it takes a movement of working people labor unions and others to be able to get the

politicians to act and my suspicion is it won't be different that's what a little take the tax that tech giants now and once they go then the question will inevitably follow why are we not doing that for other our highly monopolized and overly wealthy corporations. a sweden struggles with growing gang crime in the pandemic police want to expand wiretapping to everyone even normal suspects to detect potential gang members right now we have at least 40 family based criminal networks in sweden so-called clans they have come soley for the purpose of organized crime we need a change in legislation that gives us greater opportunities to listen to encrypted phone people who are not yet involved in any criminal investigation without people who can be clearly links to gang crime we now hope that all this telephone traffic leads to us clearing up more crimes than we would have done otherwise. a step too

far well at the moment swedish law only allows tapping the phones of suspects facing at least 2 years in prison but pros changes would let law enforcement eavesdrop on people who are yet to be suspected of a specific crime or if it gang crimes of shocked swedish society lately even a 12 year old girl dying in a math crossfire but citizens are divided over whether wiretapping everyone is the right solution. i think it is good that the police have increased opportunities to catch these criminal gangs that are ranging freely in sweden to do they must find new ways to try can take them to court but i think a law that says the police can why it's a private interviews yours is too big a step to take this should be special reasons to eavesdrop on someone they don't see the risk to ordinary private interviewed salzberg intercepted in their private lives i do not think it affects our privacy we are already so monitored in any way with phones and other things if this helps the police it's great not good not my

style i do not like it it creates a great deal of uncertainty as to water ploys because you do not know when they can listen where when and how so i do not like that more power a state within the state integrity is most important because you never know what's going to happen in the future. i think it is quite good that the police have greater opportunities to intercept i personally do not mind it but i think it can be a great tool for the police to access large part of the population and be able to stop some crime it's nothing that bothers me human rights expert though told us the serious crime. is on the rise in going crime and why it's happening innocent citizens is not going to be the answer. well you know. it's our. reasonable concern i mean the 1st time for this is here we have in sweden about the same number of killings. community secret. those

entirely by us here and all sort in the year previous to that man so the problems here probably are not pretty mannerly in my opinion the minister of the civil liberties of the population. it's a population which comprises device majority of the rents in sweden. and that has nothing to do we greet given their behaviors on and on they're going to strain to deny you or. community among immigrants. for immediate 2 percent public study sticks where it necessity of their perpetrators of criminal and vitamin d. it's could be to. us clashes of a racial injustice a becoming increasingly used by both presidential campaigns with protestors arming themselves for riots they canvassing by both the donald trump and joe biden teams

now even remind some of the cia style tactics donald quarter reports. back in 2019 few could have even imagined that the run up to the presidential election would look like this. at 1st glance these protests might resemble scenes of random political violence but take a closer look and they seem like something right out of the cia playbook. guerilla warfare is the sensually a political war more specifically the cia's psychological operations in guerrilla warfare manual it was written back in the 1980 s. to help anti communist fighters in nicaragua called contras their goal to overthrow

president daniel ortega as pro soviet government and the cia recommended tactic on how to do it was to achieve a psychological victory through guerrilla warfare take a look at the slugging match is going on between the trump and biden camps and you get a similar picture. it is happening under donald trump's watch we are not safe and downall from america the hard truth is. you won't be safe when joe biden is in there and what does the cia say such stunts will accomplish. propaganda or improves the behavior of the population towards its author and is not achieved by force this means that unarmed guerilla units in a rural town will not give the impression that its weapons are

a force that they hold over the peasants but rather that they are the strength of the peasants against the repressive government basically people don't usually mind if the armed guerrillas are on their side which could suggest we'll keep seeing streets of rage for some time we have the one side. that are. pro below and fight from maybe some other group of there who are there you thing with the means to put down the police and say from bashers their rage. and if you would in that direction on the other side supporter are looking at the unrest the via. once that's occurring the burned out businesses and buildings and homes. and destruction using this as a means to control and manipulate people. to get people on their side i think

it's dangerous and both sides both sides are are using this i think it's creating more division more unrest unfortunately we don't have a real 3rd party to vote for and i think that it's going to go on till the election that i unfortunately it may continue after the election. you're going to be a busy couple of months and it lasted so far but with more half an hour the teams aren't you don't call me social media i've got you covered with all the rest the news we're talking about today check that you get a minute for that for me kevin i went on the rest of the morning to thanks for watching r.t. international have a great choose day. by the pandemic no certainly no borders just blind to nationalities.

as america. we don't like seeing the whole world needs to be. judged as commentary crisis with this system to time so we can do better we should. everyone is contributing each or own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges create the response has been much so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. problem drugs don't always come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we've seen very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids invaded america

under the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she just goes after dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer so who's to blame patients doctors manufacturers all the governments of . trade and investment of become magic spells to economic development. most people think about trade they think about goods and services being exchanged between countries and the investment chopped or of a trade agreement is about something very different but won't when investment leads to toxic manufacturing that destroys secret sites all ruins the environment. that means that if local communities that are being poisoned if they object if they do

orange. face max we are going orange here on kaiser report that is the opposite of going dark we're going to are making ourselves anti-fragile we're making ourselves to me and to those who would fencer and that includes going to our new handles mines dot com for its last stacy herbert and you can see that right here on the screen hopefully and then from max you go to mines dot com forward slash max kaiser it's more resistant to censorship so you should check us out there oh yeah definitely we know you've got to stay agile and in the words of the of nasima or not seem to love depending on whether you want to process them correctly answer fragility would include a certain amount of agility and so we want to get off platforms that are prone to censorship and move toward the world of being on censored also of course this is

2020 and things are crazy and some great minds have been exiting the world speaking of minds but also speaking of nassim taleb he wrote a great tweet eulogizing david grouper who was a friend of mine a friend of ours a friend of the show he's been on the show many times he's the author he was the author of debt the 1st 5000 years and i think nassim taleb who is an intellectual himself and a great author and you know thinker who explores ideas and is willing to be challenged just like david graber was wrote david greenberger he was a real intellectual very real not one fake cell in his brain not one fake bone in his body he thought independently he was monstrously original he had intellectual courage the world seems much smaller today than before september 2nd david rest in peace yeah he is a intellectual giant i guess you could say that era and wrote about death it's

a point of view which i guess. would some would say would be anti-capitalist in a lot of ways in explored that vigorously i remember a very long walks with him through the city of london and he would reveal his extraordinary sense of humor he's a very very funny guy as most highly intelligent people are they do are capable of it it's not always what david graber would want to show because he's known as a public intellectual so you don't want to show that side of yourself too much but privately and walking in mean we have great fun you know playing around with words and concepts and things like that and just probing these things in a very funny ways a very funny man was well he was born he was 59 years old born in new york jewish and you know he has a lot of humor he was that was the unique.
