my show stay mainstream because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called direct impact, but again, you probably don't want to watch it because it might just change the way you think ah, rest across the global financial system continues is the largest gym and by include this 20 percent of its value in less than a month, as of the several us bank crash, resulting in bailouts, reminiscent of $28.00 to 2008 divided administration, blow up the old saving pipelines to gain control over western europe. mazda claim, by investigative journalist seymour hersh pipeline that shows control full of gas and windows coming up. now he was going to open up the pipeline and make his do his job as chancellor, even gonna make the people warm make the businesses happy. and so we didn't give

him that option. yes, price the vice president, pamela harris is set to visit africa on sunday, at mid concerns in washington of the growing russian on chinese presidents on the continent. with july, from our studio here in moscow you're watching are see, my name is peter scott's here with all the latest this saturday evening. thanks for joining us. the risk of a global banking crisis looms. evan era, as deutscher bank germany is biggest lender last 20 percent of its value since march. registering a drop in stock of 9 percent. as recent trading closed, the rumblings in the market started after 3 major american bank. so for the crash, similar to that of 2008 u. s. government was crate to intervene, bending out the banks on handing out significant sums of money to financial sites. but that didn't stop the chain reaction already been felt in europe, where most major banks are losing stock on credit suisse. want to switzerland,

major lenders has been bought by a competitor for the financial system going through turbulence. the u. s. president didn't seem phased by the boring trend. look, i think we've done a pretty damn good job people. so savings are secure. and even those beyond the $250000.00 of f t i c is guarantee that the american taxpayer is not gonna have to pay a penny. the banks are in pretty good shape, i think is going to take a little while for things to just calm down, but i don't see anything it's on arises about to explode. was jim jones, lola? so it also says there is nothing to be concerned about. our correspondence shabbos investigates. a senior politicians and economists tried to reassure, increasingly nervous financial markets, global anxieties over recent bank failures rumble on the merger of 2 big swiss banks, u. b. s. and credit suisse has created a financial bet him off, valued at over $1.00 trillion dollars in

a deal which threatens the squeaky clean image of the swiss banking sector. divide, tyson tele, credited, selfish of the extensive liquidity assistance provided the time needed to find a solution to safeguard financial stability. this solution had to be worked out under considerable time pressure order to be ready before the asian markets. open the streets aside and in solvents of credit suisse, and would have had severe consequences for national international financial stability. and for this was economy. if you are taking this risk, it would have been a responsible. this new super bank born out of a hastily arranged merger, now has a value that completely to war. st. a highly developed a $100000000000.00 swiss economy and has raised concerns about granting such immense power to a single financial institution lawyer. but i'm like so mommy, so won't be an impact on me, but order ways. it's really too bad that a bank with 170 years of history is going to vanish just like that hurts me as

a customer don't quickly or we will. you tell us on how do you say, i feel a lot of fragility in light of the current situation, unless with financial system now will only have a single big bank, u b. s. and that is not good. it's good to have competition and we won't have that em warn you off some merger between her, her credit suisse and a u. b. s. a is a kinder offer, hugged, and marriage between 2 lame dogs, of course, ah, to situation with sir kit decrease. i was going badly, but can you be s, as now a longstanding is 3. 0, off bad records are in banking. and um, i don't believe that it's east kind of marriage or who sold into long term that crises for ordinary workers and communities. it essentially

means that regardless of what your economy actually produces, be the cars, energy medicines are high tech services and all accounts for nothing. if a major bank fails, leaving ordinary citizens to face the catastrophic consequences of that failure. this leaves us to ask ourselves what the actual value of these vast financial institutions is to the societies they've so badly failed. while these institutions provide some payment and transaction services to their wealthy depositors and borrowers, the rest is essentially investment banking, which focuses exclusively on making money for guess who. that's right, the investment bank and it's shareholders who's disproportionate influence on the world's economy simply doesn't correspond with the services they provide. and if and when these giants, who are seemingly too big to fail, need bailey out, is the ordinary taxpayer that usually left to pick up the pieces just like they did in 2008,

0 in fact that we had now this kind of huge monopoly we have to remember that both the u. b. s and decreased before the merger words are mos 2 important suites banks. as a citizen, we at now is a kind of concentration, but not the concentration of good banks, but concentration of bad banks and leave this kind of situation is not good quickly at dress, get ricky fixed by authorities b, z government a b z us sent a central bank, then we will go on for a long number off, recurrent fries, each. the widespread use of corporation tax to avoid far higher income tax rates. now is reserved for ordinary workers. it's also now widely exploited by institutional investors and their backers. this feeds into the bazaar reality that

a global banking sector that should exist to serve economic activity has now grown to, to war. those very economies, they are supposed to support as ordinary taxpayers faced the very real possibility of yet again picking up the tab for these huge profit mills. it's time to ask ourselves, who's working for who and whether there's a better way to protect their societies from the devastating consequences they face when the bankers under backers just keep getting it wrong. while enjoying a complete lack of accountability them out has found an unknown objects near where the nazi pipeline was damaged after a massive blast last september. and it will invite the russian controlled operator of the pipeline to recover it for analysis. and this comes as investigative journalist seymour hersh explained what he believes stands behind the recent years . probe that blames a pro ukrainian group for the attack. we can merciful version of his interview on direct impacts throughout the day here nazi and his quit caesar. why the united

states seems to have, and i use this word and you tell me if it's overused out, in this case, invented or planted this most recent story? why are they doing this? because they the, the united states, those who did it, they know the president did it. you know, another way of asking this question that no reporter is asking a press conference, the, the let we blow the pipeline and pipe and biden's. okay. i can tell you one thing about the ca when it wants to do something down and dirty. they know how to keep it . they know how to keep it small that you know what i'm saying. yeah. the people who know very small and the president wasn't really getting briefed. the director was the funnel point. yeah. the guys in the field and the less the, the white house knows the better because it's a talkative whitehouse. difficulty of the emission and it was, by the way, what, what the intelligence community did. there was quite spectacular,

even though that they, they didn't like the end. but they were given assignment, come up with an option. if you want to blow up the pipelines, you have to do it in such a way that we can't be blamed. right? the war is by september when, when biden said, let's do it and gave the order. the war was certainly sold out. and we've put now $125120000000000.00 into that war. and western europe was being asked to give more and more. and the concern was, they could see in western europe. and in germany, what we want being told too much at this war was going nowhere so, so they were concerned if it blew up right after our ships or our military exercises that we were doing, there happened everybody. we know we weren't exactly right about that. so the idea was the weight, but why you picked 3 months and 3 and a half months. the wait was the question, i wonder, why did he suddenly do it in late september? because to get back to the point the war wasn't going well,

is he was afraid that europe was going to begin to walk away, particularly the germans, germans after world war 2 are not interested in a big military, but winter is coming up for europe. and yeah, the was, he was going to open up the pipeline and make us do his job as chancellor even. and i make the people warm make the businesses happy. and so we didn't give him that option. western europe, as it had re, gas and oil. we've always had western europe's back. ah, yes, president joe biden is in the middle of a visit to neighboring canada, and he used the opportunity to take a job at the perceived threat posed to both countries by china, canada and the united states. acknowledge the serious, long term challenge to the international order posed by the people's republic of china, including disruptive actions such as economic coercion, non market policies and practices, and human rights abuses. not all locals in also we're are happy to house joe biden

as a group of processes to the streets calling on candidates. leave nate, so what criticizing what they call imperialist u. s. foreign policy? we spoke to canadian journalist and i to best the angler who said this author was ready to sacrifice his economic interest to support the us, china as the most populous nation on earth and as a country that has done well economically over the past couple of decades is increasingly challenging us power in, in, in asia. and the u. s. has been the single dominated power and recent decades and wants to continue that. and it sees china's economic rise and growing diplomatic and other influence as a threat to its domination. unfortunately, the katie government is, is joining this increasingly belligerent policy that has us setting a basis in,

or bases in the philippines. more forces in japan, south korea, to basically try to taiwan, to try to contain china. and i think it's actually quite contrary to the interests of the, even canadian, much of canadian business. but the intelligence apparatus and created military and the arms producer is very much c containing china as, as serving the, the u. s. empires interests of the us presence also says on alliance building, pointing at the extension of nate. so and g, 7 further influence significantly extended our alliances. i haven't seen that happen with china and, or russian, or anybody else in the world. we're in a situation united states were nato, a stronger role together, the g 7 a quad,

the asi on japan and korea, i ever, my staff went out to me. i have now met with 80 percent of the world leaders. just as a president, were the ones expand the alliances? opposition is not name for me. we're that cohen. what is by buttons, comments on the growth of a western lead alliance that shows briggs countries represents over 3000000000 people, compared with around 8000000 in the g 7. that i think companies developing countries including russia, china, india, brazil, in south africa with economic growth reaching more than 6 percent. not long vice chairman of the shanghai center and bout i. club experts says criticism of china, strong thighs with russia is simply based in fair i think m. all, all the criticisms on china's strengthening of his relations with russia or i can see is a as a complex of confusion, misunderstanding, desperation and fear. this is clearly show who is on the wrong side of history by

now, because china has reassured that its relation was russia is purely bilateral and it's not against any other part of it. so by looking at what a president biden has said that he's actually against himself by saying that he is rallying up, that u. s. is rattling up. so many countries are against the other side. who is the other side. the china promotes peaceful development and doesn't practice trade protectionism and what the u. s. as it's being trying to do is exactly the opposite . they are doing trade protection is right now, and this is, i think what the rest of the world would have to wake up to realize yes, vice president comalla harris starts a week long trip to africa on sunday. the white house says that her visits aims to strengthen business ties and expand joint ventures with the constant the triple

strengthened the united states partnerships without african and advance all share efforts and security in the can army chris parity through the all the trip in partnership with african governments and the private sector, the vice president will advance efforts to expand access to the digital economy, support climate adaptation and resilience, and strengthen business ties. investment include in through innovation entrepreneurship and the economic empowerment of women. the vice president is said to meet with the leaders of garner, tanzania, and zambia, and some media reports claiming harris will address china's engagements in debt restructuring, as well as other economic issues. during her whole, the vice president's visit follows a slew of others by top europe. officials with secretary of state on sibling can untruth her secretary janice yellen. also, having visited africa since the beginning of the year, which covers as washington seeks to counter the rising influence of russia and china on the continent with both moscow and beijing recently having made their own extensive diplomatic source on the continent. international policy consultants are

called new york. i called dog shows how some africans have reacted to the upcoming visit. the reaction has been that they feel as if it's not about them. and it's not theory. they feel like this thing is just a way to counter china and is very open ended and feeling from the african people that if america really need to send their president. because chinese presidents come rushing. residents come this in high level delegations, and every year, every couple of years the russian and the chinese are inviting app and has this be the reaction has been death. what are you going to do for us, besides trying to counter chinese is really about africa or just about trying to counter china and what, what type of economic packages are you going to offer for us? what type of relationship do you want to have? because america, i think a lot of these country, these changing their business that they stayed in the organization. they're thinking that, you know, they have a foreign policy that wants to sort of pacify this relationship and try to often i'm trying to trying to and those 2 things are, are not, are not, are not coherent. and it's sort of like

a cognitive difference as occurring because you want to develop a relationship with these country. you have to offer them something. you have to offer a relationship and you want to counter china, offer them something that they don't get from china. but as of right now, what they're offering africa is just criticism condemnation sanctions. and those things in many african leaders have been turned off by that. in the news, nigerian presidents mohammed, bohemia, has urged these people to share the food with those in need ahead of ramadan. that the country suffers from skyrocketing prices, the leader went on to condemn unscrupulous sellers who have artificially inflated prices to make a profit during these last 6 months. and particularly aware of the activities of treatise, hurt officially increase the prices of their goods, including food at the beginning of every ramadan. the, according to the latest report, nigeria is in the midst of a major food crisis with more than 4000000 people in need of nutritional assistance . and the lack of funding and gasoline as well as growing instability, has led to over a 1000000 people in need of humanitarian aid is estimated that more than

a $1000000000.00 is needed to help the nation of 18 percent from last year. while the major issue facing jury is that's a terrorism from the boca her millison group since it emerged in 2009. the group's activities have claimed the lives of thousands on displaced millions of people, mostly in the countries. north. france has been a long time ally and come back to the threats. but after years of supporting the multinational joint task force bias finally has little to show fridge. the country is the presence of homage. hurry recently opened a counter terrorism since its abuse security in the region. we spoke to political analysts and human rights activists. i'm sure you who said that, jerry now needs further security support. i think the peculiarity does and in the program is usually a home grown problem button and julia need is now sophisticated kaufman support in terms of capacity to be military plus and then on, on the technology to be able to pay these data. it's betty right. i say it is all

of the election that really happened. the president elect cannibal, and also he's by the presidential team. they must have this knowledge. i did the bug out, i did the context of what this problem is. so if they can be able to put their house in order and bring the brain work together, what ensuring that they can be able to holistically that is the problem. i think i will be and off to me on a i can say yes, they can be able to 100 that thing. when you have these 2 people combine their own airport and in x p as in handling such a tank. i think julia can be able to handle these political crisis worship on the u. s. have verbally cost the latest un security council meeting the moscow to use the words chemical weapons. what sort of failing to object to investigate various obligations of chemical weapons use. we have seen how in recent years, almost any mention of the o, p. c. w has been politicized in an ante,

russian and anti sirian fashion. the traditional resolution of the un general assembly on the implementation of the chemical weapons convention has acquired a distinctly propagandist character, years political counselor john kelly also took the floor of the un sarcuse moscow of waging a disinformation campaign over chemical weapons. the official also blame to the syrian government for targets in its own people. your p. c. w indicates damascus in the killing of 43 people in a chemical incident in the city of duma in 2018. with severe cold rebel attack, executive director of the ron paul institute for peace and prosperity. daniel mcadams says the u. s. is the one spreading this information pcs, those of us to follow the duma, a parent or suppose that chemical attacks know that the final report was riddled with errors. it was plenty wrong with it. the very, very seasoned investigators were concerned about the final product. they were

whistleblowers saying the investigation doesn't, wasn't done, right. all of these things lead to a very, very painted report. you know, there have been great investigative journalists like aaron that have that have looked at it. so there are huge questions, but for political reasons, the u. s and the u. k. having already bombed syria because of the so called the tax . they needed to have a report that came to the conclusions that they wanted. and that's why they exerted all the pressure they did on the o. p c, w, and really compromise the integrity of the organization. well, i read the statement of john kelly, i'm not sure who he is. he's probably just a regular state department bureaucrat, diplomat. it really seemed like an exercise in projection basically everything that he was accusing the russians of doing with regard to the p. c. w was very blatantly done by the us and the partners. i think the statement was pretty low level look like something written out of hillary clinton's office using the russians of

deception. just information, you know, the same as the basically the same things that they've always been doing. washington, he said so point to a special envoy and bell roost to support opposition leaders in the country. once, according to the u. s. effective states, can you talk about what you're thinking with respect to a special envoy for bell roofs? and when, when might we see that appointment happen? no, thank you very much center for raising that. and yes, a to think. as you know, they in day out, we have the vilnius based of with when he a vase, beatrice affairs unit that's are embedded in, in our embassy and they're doing the day and day out contact. because so much as you know, the democratic opposition is in is in lithuania, but at your point i were very actively looking at moving forward the special envoy . what i'm considering right now looking at is dual, having a very senior official in our european affairs bureau to also service the envoy to be able to then go in and out engage senior levels with the, with the opposition,

even as the dealers affairs unit. that's based in lithuania, does the kind of day and day out engagement or washington opening support. the political opposition in belarus is still accuses russia of meddling in u. s. internal affairs mich, using former president donald trump of siding with kremlin to manipulate elections, chopping up hysteria in must media over. his alleged ties with russian president, putin. probe involves the media companies acceptance of $8000000.00 from a source with suspected russian tides about how our former president consistently sent signals that he was not on ukraine's side. he was on prudence. russia state media backed the republican candidate, donald trump, a man known for his affinity towards russia. but according to earl rasmussen, retired us the senate colonel washington's fun salary saw yet another attempt at form meddling. we would go absolutely crazy. we would probably

sanction who knows, who knows, who would probably would have joe biden on the phone with somebody or were in lincoln it would not be, it is not accept, it would not be acceptable. united. pointing a formal representative to, to interface and, and work with the opposition. i mean, it's clearly clearly, you know, it looks like they're going to, once again go down the central regime team. so it just does the indicator of the arrogance within our foreign policy. and it kind of like, almost like we feel that we're the rulers of the world and we can do as we way. so i think that it is just another symbolism, i think that will further alienate other countries and make the very, very unfeeling. and just before we go at least 23 people had been

killed and dozens injured by a massive storm in the u. s. state of mississippi or tornado completely obliterated . an entire town the the mayor of rolling fog in shockey count. you said my city is gone. the rescue as continued to sift through the rubble of multiple buildings in search of survivors. power codes have report to left thousands of homes without power across the state. local officials say the death toll is expected to rise. the white house has no, you're commented on the tragedy. that's the route for now. my name is peter scott, on the back again. the top of the hour with the latest news and views nazi. i hope . see, that's the news. news. i ah.

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race, his own offence, very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful. is very critical. time time to sit down and talk.

2 ah. 2 it's not uncommon for different governmental elements to work against each other. bureaucratic fights are common to every government. but what happens when one governmental entities sole mission, is to stop the flow of drugs? while a competing agency is one of the major facilitators of drugs. the result is chaos ah, welcome to the whistle blowers. i'm john kerry alco. one of my favorite television shows is called marco's, which has appeared for several years on the netflix streaming service. one of the things that is clear in that series, and it's based on true events, is that just as the drug enforcement administration or d e a is on the verge of successfully completing an operation to disrupt a major drug transaction, or to arrest a major drug kingpin,

the operation goes bad, the bad guy gets away, and a senior cia officer pops up in the scene. i know from my experience of 15 years in the c i, that the scenario was completely true and accurate. the da's mission is to stop the flow of drugs into the united states and to prosecute those people who are responsible. the c i. a's mission is essentially to do whatever at once with little or no oversight. the cia has long been obsessed with communism. and beyond that, with terrorism, if drug king pins are willing, dana fi, communist, and alleged terrorists, then the c i is willing to cast a slot with the drug king pins. and the d. e. a supposed to just sit there and take it. we're going to talk about this relationship with our next guest. michael levine has been described in the u. s. media as america's top undercover cop for 25 years . a career veteran of the drug enforcement administration. he's

a respected author and lecturer, having appeared as an expert witness in more than 500 civil and criminal trials in the u. s. and abroad. he's lectured on the undercover operations in human intelligence for the u. s. defense intelligence agency and the federal bureau of investigations, advanced undercover seminar as well as for the new york state division of criminal justice services and the royal canadian mounted police. there aren't many people in the world who know more about undercover operations than michael levine. michael, thank you so much for joining us. my pleasure, john. i have so many questions for you that i barely know where to start. i suppose we should begin with this relationship that the ca seems to have had for decades with people and organizations that are active target of the d. e. a. i remember when i was at the cia drugs were of literally no concern to us transferring into the cia counter narcotics center was considered to be a career ending move. and as it turned out, the,

the i was working against the d. e. a for much of that time, tell us about that. well, i'm going to give you my personal experiences and as i would if i with this defining court, i initiated a case while i was the d. a station chief and went site. it's an object tina. and the case was into a member, the name of hubbard pope suarez roberto suarez subsequently was called the biggest drug dealer alive before secret session of congress. da. at that time, didn't even know it was when i got involved with suarez. i learned that he was dealing massive amounts of cocaine all over the world. he was literally controlling the flow of cocaine glow.
