to capitalize on public dissatisfaction with the republican and democratic parties the greens policies sit well to the left of america's two mainstream parties they support greater access to education renewable energy noninterventionist foreign policy and higher taxes on the rich their two thousand and sixteen candidate as jill stein is a lifelong environmentalist and political activist who's been a vocal critic of both major parties she won barely one percent of the vote in the election but importantly should took votes away from hillary clinton in several midwestern states which donald trump won by a razor thin majority well chris salumi is live in salt lake city for us where the green party convention is taking place well i guess with one percent of the vote there are likely to be major players any time soon in the u.s. about out what is their convention focusing on now. well they want to advance their agenda and change the direction of the country capitalizing on the. anti-establishment party sentiments in the united states right now and they are planning to announce some national

in the first place i grew up as a young person as as a democrat and i came to the green party really because i saw i saw those those failures i saw democrats consistently. being one thing and doing another so moving forward to those critics who are worried about. two thousand and sixteen what would be your. what would your pitch be to what can you do different how can you really make change well i think we have to start by i mean a lot of people talk about you know taking votes and well obviously that's that's the idea is to take votes from the people you're running against that's that's why we run for office but i think i think it's more critical socially as a third party candidate to use my candidacy to bring new people into the process to reach out to voters who feel disenfranchised by the democratic and republican parties and people who are disenchanted with with the policies that are being implemented out and thank you so much for being here on this hot day in utah as you can see the green party is unapologetic in.

green party adam davis who's running for congress and utah's first district adams first of all thanks for being here and let me ask you why you decided to get into politics at this time and why with the green party. political involvement is more important than ever we've seen with the rise of donald trump we've seen a lot of people respond by getting more involved you see a lot of a lot of concern about some of the policies that are that are being implemented and in politics only works when where or when people are a part of it and so that's why i think it's absolutely was absolutely critical for me and i think it's critical for others to get involved as well why the green party and not the democrats say if you really want to oppose the policies of president trump well because i've been able to watch the democrats consistently fail to live up to the values that they say they do that's why i'm in the green party in the first place i grew up as a young person as as a democrat and i came to the green party really because i saw i saw those those failures i saw democrats consistently sayin

should we develop them further and if macqueen's why shouldn't we table the motion together with the green party pointing to the human rights situation in russia and light of the soccer world cup and criticizing the disregard for human rights there why can it only be done within one's own party ranks i don't understand that. so that's what you're working on of have been successful so far advanced and actually we have it's a while ago now but in spring this year we tabled a multi-party motion regarding the plight of their hinge in myanmar and bangladesh in fact together with the governing coalition which was still in the process of formation and with the green party and f.t.p. the corporation they work very well i certainly noticed that with human rights we're not arguing about whether or not i thought how to deal with human rights from mention questions on only about half of the organs in this incident one twelve out of seven hundred nine parliamentarians are under thirty five as a percentage of the whole population young people are drastically under represented should there be a quota for young

you are a member of the green party. what you are specifically calling for now a few years after, well, a year after president trump has pulled out of the paris climate agreement. >> yes, indeed, you mention a very important point. this whole show -- which i hope is not only going to be a show -- but it is a sign that the two leaders, they could not care less about the future of this planet. basically, they care about themselves, their power, their future. and this i is very, very irirresponsisible because in evy corner of the planet, we start to see that climate change is an existential threat to the people and the planet. and if these two leaders will not talk about it, then we will speak about these things in the street and in the squares, and that is what we are doing. secondly, we need to talk about human rights. they are both euro and human rights. both are a danger to rule of law and democracy. even if we don't have hoped the two presidents will take up these issues and start to defend democracy, we need to radiat

of dual citizenship exists is this is going to fare into saying this you know according to the green party politician and basically saying that the speech was tantamount to a far right propaganda speech and this is before you know the far right political group in germany really existed really had the most ground source or just thought we're going to have to wrap this up but. i'm thinking. where what does it say about the state of integration here if a german player with turkish roots does not feel welcome in germany you know since yesterday i was i'm thinking so much about integration in germany and is it was the person who's like the he stands for integration he's the person who played for the national team he got every possible integration a worse there you can get he is someone who's in i do for a lot of people and now someone like said i don't feel like an island that's for me it's a big question mark it should be a big wake up call for the politicians and for the society in germany and that's what also people said well it's not very hard in my opinion but that's what you hear on the s

well the green party is very much been an also ran in u.s.politics but now it's hoping to become a bigger player because of those a frustration with donald trump and the democrats candidates in the midterm elections in november have been making their cases at their annual conference kristen salumi is in salt lake city. she is the woman democrats love to hate many believe jill stein cost hillary clinton the election in two thousand and sixteen arguing the green party candidate diverted crucial votes in swing states that nearly went for now president donald trump recent revelations have only fueled her critics we know from the moller investigation that the russians not only took out ads on behalf of donald trump but also on behalf of you are you worried about russian intervention in the elections one facebook ad with the kind of you know among i think it was three thousand ads if i'm not mistaken that were attributed to this russian internet agency those ads cost one hundred thousand dollars compared to know donald trump got six billion dollars

of the united states she was the presidential candidate in two thousand and sixteen for the green partyshe was widely criticized in american media for giving interviews to r.t. and for having met russia's president vladimir putin and a number of the attacks on jill stein in the us media actually suggested that she had a television program or a show of her own on r t that is simply not the case but they did not run corrections they seem to indicate that she had a t.v. show showing that not only are these these kind of guilt by association allegations rather extreme but they often are very poorly researched and state factual accuracy is similar statements have been made about the recently deceased ed schultz of this network so if you look over it a glaring greenwald has responded to these allegations and these these criticisms of him for simply doing an interview on this network saying that they constitute mccarthyism and many people are reminded of mccarthyism where people are now. even criticized for the statement that they made but simply for people to associate with guilt by associati

taken but on the other hand we have a number of voices both out of the opposition parties like the green party and and also the social democratic party including the german justice minister who is a member of the social democratic party saying this is an absolute alarm bell when someone like mr is a doesn't feel comfortable in the german football team when he has the sense that he's been subjected to racism by the very head of the football association and by the way mr as you also received a lot of social media postings that were very hateful following the defeat of the german team that when a person like me doesn't feel comfortable that that is a sign that we have a deep political social problem in germany and i think what we're seeing here is we're seeing mr grindle taking advantage of a very heated climate at the moment through the whole debate about immigration we have an increasing sense of tribalism particularly on the right side of the political spectrum here in germany so essentially there is fertile. around for implied racism and on the other hand comments like mr grendel's essentiall

his political view and that says fast forward around two thousand and thirteen a turkish german green party politician. recalled a conversation riddle was having about his viewpoint on the idea that germans could have dual citizenship and you know according to. my thinking about this conversation makes them sick and it's cringe worthy you know so you have these factored in and it kind of follows suit to how this is played out because grendel has had if you know kind of two different responses and some just what does this say about the state of integration i think the fact i think this is coming on we have this play. who says he's not comfortable wearing a german jersey he is determined and disses like a very big question for me it's a scandal because you know is the person you look up to in germany is the person who took all possible prizes concerning integration he was a very important team and team member in the in the munch of he is an idol for up to few young people with who has a migrant background and now he the one you look up to is saying this so what about the others who is the who

elements of the media of the green party off the a step of this our social credit party and there's a split with the rain away that is getting thinner and thinner and especially after two thousand and fifteen we have set the influx of one point five million. refugees and my migrants from north africa and i'm from sub-saharan africa and while i'm elsewhere you're watching r t international more great programs right after this. it's almost stopped raining mr neck and the mayor is taking his sweetheart's to a nearby karaoke bar. the. only thing. that matters. is it actually says and. it's so cool just to see if he. can be macho just imagine the head of the nation that. could look at all of the troops home. from that little. boy. who gave. up. in japan with a never people getting married a month fifty of one in five has never had a family. that's one of the reasons the country has consistently had an extremely low birth rate. in the next fifty years japan's population may decrease by a. mass production of marketing of a new generation of sex toys of heralded a new era of relationships bet

to take place in london tomorrow we spoke with a march organizer a key player in the opposition green party. jenison you know one of the organizers of the tram protests here in london there are starting slowly today and coming to that culmination tomorrow so what's your problem was trump. things to stop problem is even the americans in london you have a problem with trump it's the way that he's been treating refugees it's the threat that he presents to the climate and i want to put out of the paris climate change agreement it's really talking about pulling out of nato as well as the threat to all security he is possibly the most dangerous man in the world right now in terms of the potential damage that he could do so what we're saying is that it's not appropriate to come in the current climate with everything you're doing here demanding recognition and respect we want to show you that we oppose what you're standing for this isn't a personal thing it's about what he is threatening to do to the whole planet so he is also somebody who says the brakes it is a very good idea to get ahead with it

almost half the votes now that's fallen below forty percent the nearest rivals are the center left green party with the social democrats a few points back in third place and the far right anti immigrant a.f.d. close behind some people blame this man for the c.s. use present predicament horst zero of federal interior minister and long time party leader his plan for tougher border controls and an accelerated program of deporting failed asylum seekers pleases the far right but it's also galvanized the left and center left in opposition and some analysts say some of his ideas seem to be a serious threat to civil liberties it is a very slippery slope in that sense that you gradually have a degree deshaun of after the rule of law and of human rights because if you look for instance at there and. media coverage of migrants and especially the more right wing media you see that you have they don't see migrants as humans anymore they see them as an issue such thoughts seem quite distant in sunny gears from the c.s.u. insists instead it's based on humanitarian pragmatic policies but as october's election

so eric brooks with our city san francisco, san francisco green party, and the clean energy groups itioned earlier. i would agree with the commissioner that in -- in her comments that the relationship between legal and cleanpowersf moving forward has been a lot better recently, but i do want to reiterate what i said the last time, which is that especially when we're getting into public banks and what to do about housing and homelessness and issues like that, where financial interests are directly involved, especially in the housing and homelessness issue, it's really vital that we have a law firm that is local, here in our community, that has to give a darn about the community and has to be responsive to pressure from the community and accountable, so i would hope that's where we end up, and also with a firm that hopefully is less -- more into public good and things like that and lesser into things like real estate interests. thanks. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. seeing no other public speakers, public comment is now closed. no action needs to be taken on this matter. mad

greece reports this is the official response of the federal government to request submitted by the green party in berlin the prophet was transmitted to the central bank and from there to the federal budget the revenues came mainly due to purchases of greek government bonds under the so-called securities markets program of the european central bank so here is and jill a merkel who kept on you know they cry they protested they riot in the streets of st thomas where they did all that stuff they threw molotov cocktails they did everything and you know merkel has maintained the same. physical posture and face and reaction for the past ten years and continues to say no and in fact profited from it so here's threesome a i don't know why she expects as a hurry what sort of negotiating power she doesn't even have negotiating power because she's not even in the euro at least greece could kind of threaten to destroy the whole euro this is what happens when you have people of parliament and running britain that number ten who are financially illiterate so we spell out quite specifically how germany is goi

green the pakistan tehreek led by ron kong and the nationalist. party already if you're going to there. there's not much progress people don't have clean drinking water. and of course they've been making all kinds of promises so it did indeed going to be interesting to see who they represent their day at their time when there are serious allegations against the security forces but it should be remembered that security forces the elections would be imported really in a country which had been hit by a vote stated you cannot forget the fact that over one hundred fifty people were killed in baluchistan and also ahead in the city where they were all. their security forces. their request for them had been made by the civilian government bridger lost their security forces and make sure that the elections are held in a secure environment so people of the whole being. barred. of course as far as the rural population are concerned they're not very upbeat or optimistic because they haven't seen gains for decades thank you very much for that it's. not a runway shop

this time speaking on behalf of our city of san francisco and the san francisco green party. first, i would reiterate everything that miss lynch just said, and getting our input on the state level is crucial. we can't just let the cpuc doing thdoits own thing on this and we have to push the way that sfpuc pushes them on clean energy. this is one of the things that i work on. and i have been meeting with taxi drivers. and there are a lot of things that we might be able to do that should be included in this study. one of the problems that we face is out-of-town drivers. well, i believe that you may be able to put a fee out to-of-town drivers to make it so expensive for them to do that that they stop coming in. because that's one of the main problems. and another problem is the situation of uber being kind of the middle person or the middle entity on this, and collecting profits for now good reason. one thing that's new that should be included in this study is electronic currencies. we're moving away from credit cards and cash to electronic currencies on phones and things like t

and our city of san francisco and the green party. so i've been coming to lafco hearings for 12 years now, mostly about cleanpowersf. and i would urge you -- we had over those times, especially -- and i will say thankfully the sfpuc is no longer oppositional to us and they're helping us now. there were times when the sfpuc was definitely oppositional to cleanpowersf back in the day. when we had that problem we also had the problem that the legal representation was not helpful and was taking the side of the sfpuc. and part of that was who knows what the reason for that is but a big part was that the legal representation was not connected to san francisco, it was actually in sacramento and had to travel here, it was not consistent, it did not do effective work. now i realize that the way they've shifted their operations, the legal representation now has some local attorneys. that's a step forward. but i'm glad that you're doing an r.f.p. because what we need is a law firm for lafco that is very community oriented. that is going to suppo

end of the die thanks largely to the to the condemnation that came from the selves and from the green party's biased jenny jones. the the people responsible for that report were forced to clarify that the claims that they were that were made were in saudi force that that person hadn't been involved. in the franking movement but i think one of the concerns about the response subsequent to that and the clarification that was issued is i think you're probably right as new questions than than the known says. we don't know for instance why is that the answer franken was picked how as an example of alleged extremism away the idea came from we have no idea what. extremist environmental violent threats are matters maims and there's no definition of out in the report and this comes back so problem there's been again and again with the involvement of counter-terrorism officers in this science of. surveillance. and responses to people involved in intelligence in the political dissent. domestic extremism that the label that they use has no meaning or means pretty much whatever the place in italy. now do

welcome in this country but let's watch out to see exactly what will happen because already the green party who are not part of this coalition of said well if for some reason the c.s.u. were to fall out of coalition would they be prepared to negotiate remember last autumn after the general election anglo-american negotiated with the greens and the liberals say and it was the greens who were prepared to work with her so watch out for that but for the moment all eyes all eyes are on horse to offer thank you very much dominic came in early. so i had for you on the program and i have the latest from thailand where rescuers as still battling to find the boys football team were trapped in a flooded cave complex. and preventing seems like this new speed restrictions come into force in france. hello there for many of us in china it's been very wet recently it is the rainy season and that rain has certainly been quite active here are the latest pictures out of the jiangxi province showing just how deep that water is it is causing quite a few problems there and you and she isn't the only province whe

out and merkel would be short of a majority by a couple of seats the tree just two seats the green party are standing by in the wings they really don't agree with the c.s. use migration policy and there's the suggestion that if the c.s.u. was to fall actually government to say no this is a red line for us we are not prepared to go back on what we said you have to do that's the america that is there is a suggestion that perhaps merkel could could cobble together some sort of stable majority with another party with the greens which is why many analysts look at the situation now and say what are the c.s.u. really doing because anything that they do which threatens their position in government is going to be effectively electorally suicidal because there's no other party they could really govern with well beach and see how it all transpires came stumbling thanks very much an investigation by amnesty international alleges that nearly one hundred people have been murdered by indonesian regional security forces in the past eight years police and military leaders in papua province deny they are

elements of the media of the green party of the us there for this our social credit party on this is because it is the arena way it is getting center and center especially after two thousand and fifteen after the we have set the influx of one point five million. refugees and my migrants from north africa from sub-saharan africa and one elsewhere which carried out he left hey your thoughts on all of our stories they do get in touch by following us on facial media and join us again at the top of the after all the latest. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to fund duration let it be an arms race is on off and spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. with lawmakers manufacture consent to stick to public wells. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round be the one percent. who ignore middle room signals. delete. the real news is really. possible to. look at it is. most of us. knows it. could. do a lot of

way and basically accused of all kinds of things simply for appearing on this network we saw that green party presidential candidate jill stein faced similar allegations simply because she did interviews on r.t. and that she went to russia and met lattimer putin and we've also seen in the recent in the aftermath of the passing away of edge scholtz we've seen similar statements and strange things made in allegations made in the obituaries in the reporting around his death so glenn greenwald has responded to those jumping on him for doing the interview saying that this is simply mccarthyism and it reminds people of the period in the united states in which guilt by association was very common and people were being accused of being disloyal and treasonous simply for meeting with somebody or giving an interview or shaking hands with someone glenn greenwald is quick to jump on this as an example of kind of the hysterical atmosphere created around russia in the united states the subject of the interview he gave to r.t. but there's this sense that russia is now one and then me on par with or the japa
