russia and china prepared to sign off on an unprecedented four hundred billion dollars deal with officials right now the last remaining difference. relations with the u.s. . come out of washington following revelations that america itself internet. also we for the very latest on the fate of two russian reporters held by the ukrainian army it's now a hunted down deliberately after filming the use of a u.n. mock. they're using those to crackdown on dissent.

the world's top headlines live on oxy international for me rule research in the news team thank you for joining us china and russia have agreed to strengthen ties as their respective heads of states meet in shanghai foremost among what they've agreed upon is that of energy understanding reportedly that's in preparation for the signing of a four hundred billion dollar mega deal. in shanghai for us i just saw a delegation of top russian officials walking out the residence of the chinese leader and they all looked very relaxed and even smiling when we tried to ask him a question about whether a deal between russia and china has indeed been signed they didn't know it yet but they were all very cheerful. the best evidence that this deal could in fact happen

any moment and judging by what the president of the two countries have said that russia and china have managed to strengthen their cooperation in oil and gas this could really indeed be the case we also heard from the russian president he said that everything must be done from the russian side to ensure the quickest possible beginning of supplying russia supplying china with the russian natural gas talks on signing this contract are continuing even as we speak there will continue today and tomorrow and there's still a huge johns' that this contract will be officially signed during this shanghai summit first of all for russia of course this is a disk diversification of supplies energy supplies not only it will be supplying gas to europe and we know of course of many talks now in europe of sanctions and yes moscow and even some are saying that europe would upstate from buying the

russian natural gas for china it's also quite beneficial in terms of its heavy reliance on coal which leads to the pollution of air and certain health risks and environmental problems china is not only experiencing health risks but also losing money for instance shanghai lost you have spent more than four hundred million dollars on fighting air pollution and that's just one city in the whole of china of course these are not the only deals with oil deals to be signed as well as well as many deals have already been signed so we're obviously waiting for more of these to happen during the next twenty four hours while this summit in shanghai is continuing and of course we are tracking every single move here in the financial capital of china. our correspondents and producers in shanghai have been asking delegates there why they think this relationship is so necessary. i think we have to be balanced and you know west is still important to still represents opportunity and we believe that there will be. no peace envoy forward but other economies

career other economies are becoming more important regardless because they're growing faster is a big and they represent a very important cooperation point for russia from resources and the resource sector since well i think for russia. china not just use massive i'm on a low and i think it's is the market. is the vast market that should have tracked russian business people. from the chinese perspective i think we are also trying to upgrade our industry i suppose today it is much more hard to work with americans because they want to work but unfortunately they are not free to work and train the chinese which is just. well as to the details of a potential gas deal that would be the biggest energy deal of all time and has been years in the making due to price differences but moscow and beijing are reportedly

very close to the final agreement that could be worth as much as four hundred billion dollars now as to how russia is planning on supplying china with gas well we've got a map for you well you just stenciled in some information for you to pipelines are either under construction or being planned one is up in siberia they will be connecting rich oil fields there to china and the other is in the far east and this one will be pumping natural gas all the way down to a lot of all stocks liquid and natural gas terminals to be shipped ultimately anywhere in the pacific and dr david quote the c.e.o. of the motley fool singapore and stock market analyst he believes the west has lost its crucial bargaining chip with russia. the front door make sure the back door is locked as well and i think in this case the west has forgotten to lock the back door so they vote. really impose sanctions on russia russia or is sort of saying to the rest of the world ok you know you can lock the front door but i have a back door as well and the back door in this case is china so really i mean the

west has actually pushed russia into doing a deal with china so on the one hand you know this is an economic deal but on the other hand it's also a political deal in which russia is saying saying to the rest of the world you know if you don't want to buy my stuff there is somebody else out there who is willing to buy my stuff as well and we have to sort of look at this deal in the context of these two countries russia has something that china wants to ask china has something that russia wants clean energy and ultimately you know when you put these two things together we are talking about a win win situation between the two countries are coming up here on r.t. international occupy wall street activists having a new symbol of police brutality a twenty five year old woman sentenced to prison for showing resistance to the new york police department in an unprecedented move against the activists also the story a very long holiday we tell you why british m.p.'s are working in a so-called zombie parliament.

for now to the east of ukraine where several residential buildings in the city of slovyansk and nearby villages have been partially destroyed by early morning shelling by ukrainian government forces have a listen to this. self-defense forces report a local woman received a severe head injury during this she was in hospital with grave condition the shelling also destroyed one of the buildings of the local salt plant this follows an early artillery attack on the nearby city of kramatorsk which also destroyed a factory and wounded one civilian. now it's international is closely following the fate of two russian journalists working for the life news channel who are now being held by the ukrainian army the very latest here with artie's. the only evidence that we have so far as to what's happening to the journalists is a video in which it's clear that they're being treated us hostages could be in custody of ukraine's security services or the s.b.u.

who did say that they have russian citizens held for questioning but they did not say whether or not these indeed a worthy russian journalist working for life news there has been very little reaction from except for a facebook post from a member of a security council in which she said that the men working for life news have been aiding quote unquote terrorists in the southeast and therefore should be treated accordingly now according to the executive director of the incident with the journalist occurred because they have filmed helicopters being used in the crackdown in the southeastern region of ukraine and the helicopters clearly bore the insignia off the united nations on them. to try to. russian media journalists from russia from. the video. or me which were marked as the united nations helicopters.

were following them and trying. to trying to scare us. this will not happen. russia ministry of foreign affairs has expressed its indignation once again in the way that the first journalists are being treated the special in this particular case that the nation was carried on by the o.e.c.d. who have promised to join the efforts in trying to save the russian journalist and of course this is just the latest in a string of incidents in which russian journalists are being interrogated abused apprehended or not even let into ukraine all together in order to cover the events rapidly unveiling here over the past several months. the arrest of these two journalists massive reaction on social media along with messages over support many of posted pictures of themselves holding up. guys. among those taking part of some russian celebrities as well as internet users from europe and the u.s. many also expressing outrage at the fact that members of the media are not being allowed to do their job. the reporters are working for you have certainly had some

first hand encounters amid the mounting pressure on journalists trying to operate in ukraine ultimately graham phillips who's filed numerous reports for us has now been labeled a supporter of terrorism pro-government activists in the eastern city of posted a wanted message for him on their facebook page but it's not the first time though graham already has a ten thousand dollars bounty on his head from the right radicals does not stop him from doing his job in ukraine in one of his latest tweets graham says he's been swamped with offers of help for one victim of the ukrainian crisis after posting a video with a shop owner whose business was leveled by the army shelling he said he received a flood of sympathetic messages graham says he will now try to reach them and you can follow graham on twitter. for now the spying blame game the u.s. plays out with china has begun

a brand new chapter washington charging five beijing officials with hacking into american companies they're accused of attempting to steal trade secrets of nuclear solar and metal firms something china has called. the irony is though it comes right after america itself being called red handed yet again embracing online snooping the latest batch of leaks blames the national security agency for intercepting u.s. made internet routers and tweaking them for use in gathering intelligence. and explains how the scheme is believed to have worked. for years the u.s. has warned everyone that the chinese routers and other internet devices pose a threat because they are built with backdoor surveillance capacity but the n.s.a. documents released by glenn greenwald. show that the u.s. has been engaged in doing just that in doing exactly would accuse is the chinese of doing glenn greenwald this published documents and photos showing how the n.s.a.

routinely receives or intercept routers servers and other computer network devices being exported from the united states before they are delivered to the international customers the agency then implants back door surveillance tools we packages the devices with factory seal and sends them on this allows the n.s.a. to gain access to entire networks and all of their users while among other devices the agency intercepts and tempers with routers and service manufactured by cisco to direct large amounts of your net traffic to the n.s.a. repositories glenn greenwald also writes there is no evidence in the documents that cisco is aware of or condoned these interceptions he also writes that the methods serve all agendas economic diplomatic military and yet despite revelations that the u.s. has never shied away from spying on anybody i mean especially china washington brings up new charges against china for spying and here's how the u.s. state department responded to the chinese reaction to this new batch of factorizations the chinese statement says quote it is

a fact known to all the relevant us institutions and warm been involved in large scale in the organize cyber theft as well as wiretapping in surveillance activities against one political leaders companies and individuals china is a victim of severe u.s. cyber theft wiretapping and surreal in activities goes on is that correct well our intelligence activities are focused on the national security interests of the united states so you know obviously again we believe there should be a continuing dialogue on these issues with china which is why we've been so supportive of working very. again as you say there is no shying away from the fact that the public is now where the scale and scope of the n.s.a. spying and yet it doesn't stop the us lashing out at china for spying. he's gone h.d. can we spoke to chris keates the founder of unseen it's an encrypted internet service he says when it comes to the web there's very little chance of working in private

if you look at the internet overall you've got the the hardware the firmware and the software that runs all of the routers and the the switches on the internet these are all susceptible to being hijacked and controlled and all these back doors that been put in the chinese and put them in the americans or put them in these are now being exploited my belief is that they're starting to be exploited by commercial criminal gangs and so it's actually quite dangerous the internet really is a public place in the u.s. there's no expectation of privacy when you're in public and if you think about it that way if you send a message over the internet it's fair game for anybody to go and grab it in spite of whatever wiretapping laws and everything else you have practically there's no expectation of privacy unfortunately always many more stories for you online and called including the unexpected dangers of flooding apart from killing dozens of

people in displacing many more the massive deluge sweeping the balkans on earth to thousands of unexploded landmines left behind from the one nine hundred ninety s. war also aleksey dot com right now a tax free pot uruguay makes another move to combat the marijuana black market exempting the drugs production and sales from tuxes have a go at odyssey dot com. and we are back with much more news after a very short break. well. technology innovation all the list of elements from around russia we've got the future are covered.

with economic downturns in the final. deal and the rest. will be everything. it's all international if you're just joining us welcome to the program an occupy wall street activist has been sentenced to three months behind bars it's believed

to be the most serious conviction against hundreds of the movement's members twenty five year old mcmillan was found guilty of assaulting an officer despite claims she acted in self defense. reports now from new york. found guilty by a manhattan jury on may fifth first salting a police officer with her elbow suddenly mcmillan had been facing up to seven years behind bars this monday may nineteenth the twenty five year old occupy wall street activist has found out that she will be serving a lighter sentence three months behind bars followed by five years and probation considering the amount of time she has already spent in jail cicely's case stems from an altercation between the activist and an n.y.p.d. officer in march twenty twelve of the six month anniversary of occupy protests at zuccotti park mcmillan alleged she was sexually assaulted that night claiming the officer had grabbed her right breast from behind the prosecution said she had bruised herself and the soldier the officer bauble intentionally to prevent him from doing his job as he tried to walk the protester out of the demonstration after

two years awaiting trial mcmillan was found guilty of second degree assault on a police officer for what she and supporters say was a reflex response to his own want to grope optimist who witnessed a man some rivaling that night also say that the woman did not receive due medical assistance occupier said many facts including the past record of the officer who suddenly claims grabbed her were not even considered in court for in this case we're now joined by activist and photographer stacey lanyon so you see thanks so much for joining us you were there the nights that these events unraveled with saucily what did you see it was probably the scariest night of occupy that i've ever experienced i didn't see her at first it is such a number of people. that had been arrested some were face down some of their shirts torn and she when the officer befell the one who actually attacked her in the park was the one to lift her up in my photographs and. i noticed right away that she was in distress she could not she couldn't see them and he continued to try and make

her stamp the fact that she was charged with a crime at all was was. was an outrage to begin with some of the activists are saying this is not good enough at all she should not be in jail at all so what do you what do you make of this. i think a lot of us were were definitely some i believe that's the fear that she's going to get at least two years which is the minimum i think the system is broken and we have to continue to speak out against what's wrong and try and build alternative routes to see what i mean thanks so much for your time with us today now we do know that the defense team has already filed an appeal and says sleaze second degree assault conviction is seen as the harshest against an occupy op to this since the movement started in two thousand and eleven and. new york. the new york police department has faced numerous bills in the past for brutality today on the market looks back at a couple of gloomy examples of breaking the phenolic quick preview. i'm sure all of

us have had a party with raised voices and loud music and sometimes annoying neighbors decide to rain on the parade and call the cops but usually this type of situation doesn't end with several people getting verbally and physically abused children getting pepper sprayed and grandma didn't taste every day the cops get away with this type of behavior a new and dangerous precedent is set one where we get the short end of the stick and the police get to be with one. so one twenty pm here in moscow the libyan parliament has ordered the deployment of islamist militias in the capital tripoli after coming under attack from forces loyal to the rogue general how. two people were killed more than fifty injured in the clashes following the assault i would this is describe the worst battle has been seen since the uprising that ended the regime of moammar gadhafi and twenty

eleven the parliament accused at the general of staging a coup earlier on sunday trying to push is the most militias out of the city of benghazi declaring war on who you call the terrorists political analyst aside id cards as the situation in libya was never calm but the uncontrolled flow of weapons to the country it's only fueling the fight. a lot of the military element a lot of the military units are joining forces together with up there to restore some sort of order now is there is this a cool it looks like it. will the government be able to hold onto power i'm not so certain i don't believe that those who aided the. libyan rebellion to begin with nato and then flooded the country with arms you know paid for by countries like qatar or saudi arabia and so on it really forces foresaw this but it's a fact of the tribal tension that tribal divisions that existed in libya for

a long time was certain to to be you know to take advantage of these arms that were flowing uncontrollably into libya it is hoped that the election will help me to everybody's waiting for that but having elections and having stability are two separate things from international headlines in brief now to egypt where three police officers have been killed and many injured in an attack in cairo according to officials gunmen opened fire from a car targeting a security services building just outside university nonstop violence in the country two or gyptian courts recently convicted one hundred seventy supporters of the former president morsy to prison for rioting and planning terror the situation in the country is tense ahead of the presidential election which takes place next week. beyond me and thailand has declared martial law in an attempt to restore stability following six months of anti-government uprisings the move comes amid the political limbo the country remains stuck in earlier this month

a court order the thai prime minister to resign following pressure from the ongoing protests about thirty people have been killed since the unrest began last november . a u.s. court has found a radical muslim cleric guilty of supporting terror among eleven convictions abu hamza was found guilty of aiding. worst kidnappers in yemen as well as tempting to establish a terror training camp in the state of oregon the thirty six year old could spend the rest of his life behind bars has been battling with the u.s. legal system for eight years he continues to deny every charge. now more than two hundred days spent out of the working place sounds like a pretty plush job but it's the reality for the u.k. parliament that has already started yet another break and it's leading to voters to doubt on the government's effectiveness and sarah for interesting. but this one is

. beginning to feel like. they get the feeling that. making the. time. knowing. it's led to the coalition being branded as zombie parliament with critics saying they've given the extended time off because they've run out of laws to debate the parliamentary press office told us there's no rigid figure for how many days the house of commons is telling r.t. parliament as long as it's required for them to do so in total i think the pieces here are going to be off for two hundred twenty three days or twenty three days away from westminster because they claim this time they're working very hard in their constituencies but that's not always the case with the normal holiday

allowance clocking in at just twenty eight days paid annual leave pay year it's no surprise that many members of the public a less than impressed there are so many jobs and if you think about the economy it may mean everyone's working doubly hard to say of course we're going to scrutinize him and wonder if they're going to a time or so using we'll tell you to help their constituents. with the certificate but even some m.p.'s are disgruntled with all the time the way opposition members may kill it tweeting it leaves no chance to challenge government ministers or lobby in person this is an extraordinary long time it is actually quite annoying when you look at other gaps we suddenly have a rising if you know they're coming you can arrange a lot of things in the constituency if it happens of an expectedly you can still get busy but it's not quite so planned and it's a bit irritating to be honest and it won't be until the third of jeanne when m.p.'s return to the house through the usual school king in the commons will resume. or before you get t.v.

journalists thinking that parliamentary recess is all about cocktails on the beach think again m.p.'s and sister then on recess because they've run out of ideas or are being lazy saying instead you're far more likely to find and spending time with their constituents or canvassing for the upcoming european elections perhaps not quite the holiday we all imagined it was sarah per our. reporting from london. spending more time out of westminster than inside has become a bit of a tradition of the british parliament in recent years so in the last session the m.p.'s sat for one hundred sixty three days twenty days more than during the previous period but that's not a record the two thousand and four two thousand and five session was active for only sixty five days and the houses remained empty for the rest of the time m.p.'s though don't agree with the tag of a zombie government saying critics forget all about the very hard work they do when they're away from westminster. it's artie international his wealth aboard him

lavish mansions masterpieces of art and a football team but it seems nothing hits your pocket like a woman's scorned the woman in this case is the ex-wife of the russian oligarch dmitri but. as part of the divorce settlement a swiss court ordered him to pay her four and a half billion dollars that's besides another half a mil worth of jewelry in real estate that is over half of his entire fortune making this the most expensive divorce in history and sending the oligarch far away from the forbes rich list. i might's kaiser because reports are coming your way in just a second. we think of why a rethink there are good. for all sand beaches. coconut palms gently swaying in the ocean breeze. and frank. white has

a deep dark little secret a secret the u.s. government would like you to know about. through our labor. our. bilbo i did dearly search she did ok get all willed and there is a. serious serious mixed school lisa tried to claim the same people are going to be going to the want to get the title are cut short changing every minute. cut me no law no weapons of my own lack of life but hey.

most of us think that since the time. ceases to the most elite moments. sometimes from nothing which. is silly and simple it's just it's not just any other story can still be just if you could you see the stage eight look to be just a little but speech was still. stands. the line between. fights we take the shame and. the clock signal. to.

the future. welcome to the kaiser report imax kaiser zardoz no i mean ordos ordos speaks to you the indebted ones having debt is good go forth and flip houses . stacy what he sound like or know you. well or dos is a town in china houses barter for commodities and ghost town ordos orders real estate entrepreneur hey june has gathered many debt since the private loan sector in the city collapsed two years ago he is just one of the army of debtors in order once the richest city in china in terms of per capita g.d.p. on the back of its coal reserves but now call the city of death according to

china's securities journal. you can flip your vote. at investment make you worse. ok so let me get this straight the housing bubble in china is really popping this time for rio it's really popping this time for real it's really happening this time there are signs of it all across china but here is the most prosperous previously most prosperous town and what they've been doing to settle their debts is they've been exchange of wine for example to settle their debts but now the authorities will no longer allow them to use this rock wind because some of it is fake and blah blah blah so they've turned to precious metals to settle their debts but after the real estate bubble burst many houses remain uninhabited in orbit of those as a result no one is willing to exchange houses for gold houses can only be exchanged for silver this is what sandy jaitley said here on the kaiser report that one day

gold would have no price because nobody would be willing to. part with it in exchange for whatever so here this house they will not accept gold for it they will only accept silver ok right all the great points there are now recall saying something about this in other words the debts on the homes that are falling into foreclosure or no bid. as part of the real estate crash to settle up they're going to take half the debt in silver or write off the debt completely then with it taking so are for debt as i recall but what you're saying is that they'll take only so over but no gold no gold there's no gold around to subtle these debts to extinguish the debt that because there's nobody willing to part with gold so gold is is inching into its traditional role as the current sea

unimpeachable currency with no counterparty risk it's inching its way back into the into the center stage of the global economy we see this in china anecdotally said suggested by well what i'm saying is that actually houses are ill liquid these people will not accept gold because gold is liquid houses are illiquid they will accept cars for gold because cars they can drive they can use they can sell here they will not accept the houses so when we look at the united kingdom where people are pouring money into houses and similar to gold as what the guardian well let me jump in for as i am because you know misfires stein is but on the show a few times you wrote a book plan of ponzi he says that real estate is not an asset class and i say why mitt he says because it's illiquid ok and people say well how is it possible i can buy and sell for my house all day long not in not in these moments of stress of duress then fine then somebody says you know what you've got a bunch of bricks on worthless property that's not worth anything so suddenly what

people thought was a asset that have collateral value. same thing happen to stop crime crisis suddenly they say wait a minute the houses are not really worth much in terms of collateral so they have the crash of two thousand and seven two thousand and eight now or same thing as visiting china but i think it does send the point about the fact that gold at some point will have no price at all because no one's going to sell their gold which is in other words it has a price an infinite price which is being is that once again it starts to enter its way back into the global economy as the true unimpeachable reserve currency so put that into the context of what is happening in london house prices are up seventeen and a half percent in westminster alone this past year london property the barbarous gold of our time buying property has become the modern day version of burying gold coins in the garden with boom in value driven by uncertainty money is fundamentally

a social construct a property has transmitted into a form of this like gold or any good currency property scarce in the desirable parts of london it cannot be produced in large quantities thanks to the restrictions of geography and planning it is a widely accepted and easily exchange as there appears to be an ever willing stream of buyers it is durable for at least the next few years and the risk of confiscation by an overzealous government seems low in the u.k. but as we saw in china you can't trade your house for gold and here they're only saying that it's that it's at least it appears to be an ever never ending stream of willing buyers it also gets into what mark carney the bank of england governor was talking about last week he admitted first of all that there is a housing bubble and this housing bubble is focused mostly in london. and his solution was that the government has to build more houses which is bogus you know the point of having a central bank is to take the punchbowl away when markets get too frothy and his

job is to raise interest rates to take the froth out of the housing market not to throw the ball back to the government and say the government's got to build more houses because that's not even the problem the problem is that because of mark carney and other central bankers flooding the globe with money that money has ricocheted back into london and skyrocketing prices into the bubble it's his responsibility mark carney is shirking his responsibility it reminds me of alan greenspan back in one nine hundred ninety six when he talked about irrational exuberance in the nasdaq and did nothing and as a result as a crash eighty percent after the bubble popped his response was well central bankers we have no responsibility to manage bubbles well then why do i have a central bank if you have no responsibilities we don't we already have a fund and you know that comment on whether there's a bubble or not your job as a central banker is to manage the bubble if it gets out of hand marconi therefore is completely a complete failure yes they do actually mention in this article that is

quantitative easing around the world and the fear of all the hidden debts around the world that is driving people to who are houses in london properties in london but they say meanwhile remains an unproductive use of capital we may all feel wealthier and more secure with every tick upwards but like hoarded gold the savings that lie loft among the cobbled streets of london do not circulate through the economy they are therefore valueless and only accentuate the fundamental problem that persists today despite our weak recovery namely low monetary velocity the roman empire died not when the barbarians came but one money left burrowing itself underground never to return so i think we're also at the end times of the empire of debt is people don't trust it anymore. so they're hoarding it and therefore causing the very collapse that they fear well the roman empire was protected by roman soldiers who were paid in gold and as the roman empire ran out of gold

because they had minds that they controlled but they ran out of gold they hit peak gold and were not able to pay their soldiers and so they diluted the gold they got into coin clipping they pay them less the quality of the soldiering went down and the roman empire collapsed period got a similar situation in that you've got an empire of consumption the consumption is driven by fiat money and credit expansion but the limit of current expansion has now reached in terms of peak credit there is no much more credit one can heap onto this mountain of derivatives that's grown bigger than one quadrillion in size so the shopper the consumer the addicted person the narcissistic consumption maniac is running out of runway to lend their ship their jumbo jet of consumption so to speak and so one that falls apart then so to empire is built on debt like the u.k. like the u.s.

and you have the rise of countries that have actual assets like russia natural gas so snow and so accident that russia is on the way up and the u.k. is on the way down so all this quantitative easing this this fear of all the global debt bubble that it's been pushing has also caused this soaring energy and housing costs forced poorest homes to turn to food banks the poorest households spend forty percent of their income on housing food and fuel a huge increase on a decade ago according to research uncovered by an all party parliamentary inquiry into hunger and food poverty so the evidence suggests that it's actually the poorest households in particular have been hit by these costs they've their costs have increased by nine percent as a percentage of their income since two thousand and three but. but they also say that according to the cross party inquiry led by labor m.p. frank field the disproportionately large increase seen in the poorest households is due entirely to rising housing in fuel costs the proportion of income spent on food

is the same as a decade ago so here you have the rising house prices causing more distress at the lower end of the this or dos sort of ponzi scheme for the housing the rise in prices it's not caused by an inflationary cycle rising wages are rising can productivity which in creases prices the the rise in fuel and food costs are being caused by what you would guess you could call debt flay should think of it this way the economy rests on a full chrome and on one side of this let's see seesaw resting on a fulcrum would be asset prices of stocks and bonds and fine art and other collectibles and then on the other side of the seesaw would be debt the as the debt increases it pushes the price of assets like fine arts stocks and bonds higher

that's not the same as inflation that's a definition that's using debt as a way to jack prices up in the accounts of people who own those particular assets if you own fine art you're doing well the net worth of the people richest people in britain in the last five years doubled not because they were more productive not because they had more to society not because they're working harder it's because the government of britain and the corporations of britain and it ten to twenty times more debt than they had the previous five years and using this idea of the debt versus assets on the fulcrum the more debt pushes down here causing austerity and economic to wrest the higher the value of these assets now i might go back to this ordo story because they cite one guy who says he uses silver objects worth five hundred thousand yuan or eighty thousand dollars to pay off at least one million yuan are. injured sixty thousand dollars in debt jim rickards author of money wars and currency wars and all that stuff he says jim records in china they swap one hundred sixty thousand dollars in debt for eighty thousand dollars of

silver so your debts worth half or silver is worth double that's right so in other words they're clearing the debt with precious metals because you can only extinguish the debt with real money and then clued scolds over in bitcoin some would argue so as real money is clearing these debts it's worth fifty cents on the dollar that's what the real money valuation would be i think as the crisis gets more severe it will be much more extreme and that the value of price of silver and gold will start to reflect the overall unwinding of the derivatives market including china wow well we've got to go or do. stay tuned for the second set of a whole lot. of . lead it was

a. very hard to take a listen to get along here a lot never sat with the perfect hair. let's play. lists lists lists lists lists lists. a. good. economic record take.

plenty. plenty of this now like. our lists. what if. sometimes. lead. to lead. welcome back to the kaiser report imax kaiser timed out of turn to bed and i said a positive money ben welcome to the kaiser report if you all right ben dyson

positively first tell us what are the objectives of positive money we're trying to get people to understand the way that money works and specifically the way it's created. while most people don't realize is that most of the money in the economy of those numbers that you see in your bank and are created by the government or the central bank the bank of england they're actually traced by the banks the same banks that cause the financial crisis and these banks create new money whenever they make a loan it's just a simple account and procedure you go into bankruptcy or some money and that number appears in your account and that's brand new money. but that's linked to a lot of the big social and economic problems we're facing today at the house price bubble the the level of personal debt soaring inequality hold up as i said other words. the bank when for example somebody comes in for a mortgage. the bank will all create a loan of five hundred thousand pounds and they sign off on that loan and it

enters the economy as money however there is no collateral for that loan and there are no in many cases no deposits backing up those loans banks have less than two percent of equity in terms of collateral for their entire banking system in terms of their fractional reserve models goes beyond fractional reserve model this idea that the banks have a certain amount of reserves and they're only allowed to loan out a certain amount based on those reserves that's false in fact that banks lend out thousands of times more than they have on reserve and even the quality of those reserves is highly dubious so this is then the bank of england or someone in this country recently come out of the report confirming exactly this notion talk about that we have been arguing we've been trying to educate people about this for the last four or five is the way many economists who are in universities is that as you know this is a mechanistic system where it's all limits and by the reserve bank of england cents or the federal reserve actually in

a lot of countries now those reserve ratios don't exist and where they do exist they're quite easy to be to get around because of the way the banking systems evolved recently so we've been arguing you know the way the system works in this way in the way that the textbooks say the bank of england about two months ago released a report called money in the modern economy which explains basically confirms everything that we've been saying open so and so what why did they release that report why now what what i think is because we've being the money campaign has been raising these questions about the way the system works whether politicians in the authorities really understand and if we don't understand the way the system works and we won't find solutions to the problems that ok so you're under the impression that they were pressured especially to come out with a statement describing or confirming what you over there are positive money haven't . i think that money is exogamous lee created that it's ninety eight percent i believe all the money in circulation is created in this way and that the fact that

the banks they have no reserves they have no collateral when a crisis as they can two thousand and eight you have a sudden collapse because there's there's no there there correct yeah and then we have to bail them out to stop the entire banking system collapsing and to bail out the banks back in two thousand and eight in fact the amount of fake money in the system has gone up not down correct one of the interesting things about the way the system works is that when people repay the loans money actually disappears from the economy so it's a reverse process the money creation so after the crisis banks won't make new loans people repaying the old ones and the amount of money started shrinking in the economy now the bank of england saw that and realized that that was what happened in the great depression and that's why they turned to points to be easing so banks weren't raising money and they steps in to create money and place them but they put most of that money into the financial markets. the crisis said and people started

paying off their debts and this is deflation and the bank of england hates deflation even though it's great for consumers and it's great for workers it's terrible for people who are floating debts to all kinds of myriad high levels of in orbit levels of debt so they came in and they introduced quantitative easing which was a way to keep the debt ball rolling now we're at a period where they're trying to taper this quantitative easing in the united states in the bank of england talking about cutting back on quantitative easing is that going to work. at all anyway let's move on because i think that that i want to move on more about what part of money is doing here so you have ten days of positive money proposals. so tell us about the proposals well essentially we're saying you can't trust the same banks that cause a financial crisis with something as important as the pound. grant money so we would like to take. power away from the banks now again you can't just give that's

politicians because the same incentive to abuse the power. we need some kind of transparent accountable body that's going to be responsible for this we need to make sure that if anybody has this power to create money we can see what they're doing with it and where the money is actually going is not the function of the treasury. treasury creatively it's epically before there was a central bank in america anyway the treasury created the money it is created by the state and they let that out to the economy and zero percent interest they have a central bank lending it to them who they then lifted out again right so it doesn't isn't there already a function called the treasury function well it could be up the treasury the treasury at the moment has this. creates money but could be an economic disaster but if banks create money for property bubbles in the financial markets that is fueling the recovery so you know one of the debates one has to be had is like what is the correct use for you to trace that money but the treasury in this case the

exchequer in this country is lying because they are in fact creating money when they cooperate with the bank of england yeah you know there's a there is a lot of cooperation so they're lying when they say that they don't trade i mean they do it because they work at the bank of england or the quid pro quo relationship to create put it so that that's a that's a canard to say that they don't but they they're not politically motivated to do it because they know politically that if they let the banks do it they're going to get rewarded hugely for their reelection campaigns and their other pet projects and they all become fabulously rich in this way that goes against really basic economics but continue well that's what you see with the property bubble now that politicians fuel the props even though you know rising house prices don't make us any richer they actually mean. and therefore pay more interest in the banking sector so it's really good for the banks it's it's good for by. investors is not good for ordinary people because more of your salary is going on you're paying for the roof that you live on the rather than everything else you'd like to be spending

when the bank of england air m.r. carney says that it's not his problem that there's a housing bubble he there's nothing he can do he just throws a ball into the government court and says it's up to you guys to build another hundred thousand or two hundred thousand homes i think we can dip now to me that strikes me as being. incredibly irresponsible because of course it's his responsibility he created the bubble by creating all this money to begin with so how does he get away with that or would you would you agree with that well yeah it's crazy because there's a study done by couple of academics shiller can say well where they they studied about one hundred sixty years of history and found that every you know every financial or economic crisis was preceded by a massive rise in the level of debt and so it's the debt and the money created by banks that leads to these financial crises what we have now is banks creating all this money for the property bubble that will probably leaders in some of the financial crisis and it's their job to prevent that from happening at the moment

they're passing the ball right so we're getting back to what you were saying a couple of us got it so the other words the money creation work who is going to be responsible i brought the point of the treasury but that was my point but what is how do you see it over there positive money where there's a debate to be had about this about who you can trust with this power the important thing is whoever is if you set up a new independent body or some of your post committee of the treasury. if the people at create money can benefit from doing so like the banks do and politicians would. then you have massive conflicts of interest in the end of creating too much so you need somebody who isn't going to personally benefit from actually tracing the money you need separate decision over how much money you create and how that money is used and that's when the reasons why you know. bank is all politicians will both you know mess up this this ability to create money right well so i

think also a positive money talk about the need for a one hundred percent reserve banking or banks that a set of having this basically no reserve zero reserve banking to actually have one hundred percent reserve banking and then there's in the united states for example i believe in north dakota if i get him out if i'm correct there is a banking system that works where they have one hundred percent reserve banking or something somewhere that they scape the crisis completely unscathed there was no problem that the economy is growing is that a model well one hundred percent reserve banking is a way of stopping banks from straight money the other thing it does is it means. we don't have to rescue them because when you do the hundred sums of bankers they do two things one is keeping your money safe and i mean you spend one of you won't see the other one is actually putting that money at risk and you say to the bank look i want this money to be invested you know i expect in the taxpayer it's risky if the bank makes bad decisions so you have to take some responsibility for the amount of risk that's being taken but if you had banks working on this basis then we would

need to rescue them the next on this crew ok so ben leading into this election which is coming up next year clearly the conservative government in this country has been pumping the housing bubble as a way to curry favor with the electorate and it's working you know six months ago labor was ahead in the polls the conservatives are had the polls because people are love and the fact that there's a housing bubble and they like the fact that they've got assets you know are moving up in price how do you but it's extremely dangerous and it's economically unsound but. what is your bed experience over there positive money when he said with a group of average british people and say look we're going to reach into a sound money system but probably your house prices going to be marked down thirty or forty percent to where it should. b. without all the fake money that we've created over the past five to ten years is there a bit of a resistance is questionable whether house prices would end of falling so much

because what's happened here is people just sell their houses and so the price comes up where you need to do is allow salaries to catch up. but there's well the extraction here you know you. borrow against their homes house prices are up ten percent they go out and they spend that money and so their debt on the house never is less so in a crisis it's they've got their underwater the negative equity so their consumption of the can some their whole lifestyle is based on this fake house price appreciation and so if you're going to tell them no matter how you position it it means they've got to cut back on their consumption discovered got to cut back because they're living on in a bubble so i mean but that message is not going to is it ever going to get through in time to stop a massive crash in housing or do we have to go through the pain of another housing crash and hope that there is reform instead of just another bubble being pumped up well the point is this can't keep rising faster than salaries forever is just.

so i don't know whether it's going to be a transfer with things we'll just level out but the real risk the big danger is the level of the private that which is going back up see where it was before the crisis right so all the debt levels are now back to where they were pre-crisis and the trying to sire are still positive or out of time but positive money if i want to find out more about it that was the website post that money dork again and you better off for how long four years and you're taking credit for this report from the bank of england talking about the that's my old boat that bad well well we'll go to take credit for that clearly they publish it for some reason a lot of albeit positive money right bent dyson thanks so much for being on the kaiser report something to well that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser and stacy herbert i'd like to thank our guest ben die. positive money if you like to get in touch tweet us a kaiser report it's like side by a. series

breaking news this hour up to four people are reported killed and fifteen injured as a deal rails cargo train crashes into a passenger service in the moscow region medics are at the scene. russia and china prepared to sign off on an unprecedented four hundred billion dollars gas deal with officials now are eating out belongings for many differences . in things relations with the u.s. blunder as a new bundle of cyber spying accusations come from washington following revelations america itself tweeks internet breeds for industrial espionage. plausible the latest on the fate of two russian reporters held by the ukrainian on

it has now emerged they were hunted down deliberately after filming big use of yuan montell accomplice to run down on dissent. this is the international coming to live from moscow and was stunned with breaking news this hour on a cargo train has collided with a passenger service near moscow and the accident has reportedly caused one several freight weigand the deal railed on slammed into the passenger train after four people have died in the tragedy and fifteen more have been injured according to russia's interior ministry the tragedy was reportedly caused by a medical mechanical rather failure police and several medic crews are working at the scene they passenger train was on route from moscow to the capital of moldova

cation yob or reporting live on this breaking news story shortly. china and russia have agreed to vastly strengthen ties as their respective heads of states meters shanghai foremost among will be were greed is an energy understanding reportedly baths in preparation for the signing of a four hundred billion dollar mega do you say you know shops case in shanghai for. i just saw a delegation of top russian officials walking out from the residence of the chinese leader and they all looked very relaxed and even smiling when we tried to ask him a question about whether his story gas deal between russia and china has indeed been signed they hinted that it not yet but they were all very cheerful was probably the best evidence that this deal could in fact happen any moment judging by what the presidents of the two countries have said that russia and china have

managed to strengthen their cooperation in oil and gas this could really indeed be the case we also heard from the russian president he said that everything must be done from the russian side to ensure the quickest possible beginning of supplying russia supplying china with the russian natural gas talks on signing this contract are continuing even as we speak there will continue today and tomorrow and there's still a huge johns' that this contract will be officially signed during the shanghai summit first of all for russia of course this is a dish diversification of supply. energy supplies not only it will be supplying gas to europe and we know of course of many talks now in europe of sanctions and yes most go and even some are saying that europe would up staying from buying the russian natural gas for china it's also quite beneficial in terms of its heavy reliance on coal which leads to pay the pollution of air and certain health risks

and environmental problems china is not only experiencing health risks but also losing money for instance shanghai last year spent more than four hundred million dollars on fighting air pollution and that's just one city in the whole of china of course these are not the only deals with oil deals to be signed as well as well as many deals have already been signed so we're obviously waiting for more of these to happen during the next twenty four hours while this summit in shanghai is continuing and of course we are tracking every single move here in the financial capital of china. and our correspondents and producers in shanghai i have been asking delegations that why they think this relationship is needed. i think we have to be balanced and you know west is still important and still represents opportunity and we believe that there will be. issues that we are now facing boy forward but china other economies career. becoming more important regardless because they're growing faster is a big and they represent

a very important corporation going from russia from resources and the resource sector says well i think for russia. china not just to use a massive amount of product i think it's the market. is the vast market that should attract russian businesspeople. from chinese perspective i think we are also trying to upgrade our industry i suppose today there's much more to work with the americans because they want. unfortunately to work and train the chinese it is a simple. as to the details of a potential gas deal well it will be the biggest energy of all time it's been gears in the making due to price differences but moscow and beijing are reportedly very close to agreement now that could be worth as much as four hundred billion dollars

and as to how russia is planning on supplying china with gas let's now have a look at this map we've drawn up for you here two pipelines are either under construction or being planned one here in siberia can actually reach oil fields that to china and the other one in the far east and this one will pump gas all the way to divest talks a liquid natural gas terminals to be shipped anywhere in the pacific and dr david kuo see all the singapore and stock market analysts believes the west has lost its crucial bargaining chip with russia here you lock the front door make sure the back door is locked as well and i think in this case the west has forgotten to lock the back door so once they've actually imposed sanctions on russia russia is sort of saying to the rest of the world ok you know you can lock the front door but i have a back door as well and the back door in this case is china so really i mean the west is actually pushed russia into doing a deal with china so on the one hand you know this is an economic deal but on the

other hand it's also a political deal in which russia is saying to the rest of the world you know if you don't want to buy my stuff there is somebody else out there who is willing to buy my stuff as well and we have to sort of look at this deal in the context of these two countries russia has something that china wants gas china has something that russia wants clean energy and ultimately you know when you put these two things together we are talking about a win win situation between the two countries. coming out this hour occupy wall street have a new symbol of police brutality twenty five year old woman is sentenced to jail for showing resistance to the new york police department unprecedented move against the acts of it. later in the program the story of very long holidays we tell you why british m.p.'s are working in a so-called zombie plane. and to the east of ukraine right now where several residential buildings in the cities of slovyansk and nearby villages

say whether or not these indeed a worthy russian journalist working for life news there has been very little reaction from except for a facebook post from a member of a security council in which she said that the men working for life news have been aiding quote unquote terrorists in the south east and therefore should be treated accordingly not according to the executive director of the incident with the journalist occurred because they have filmed helicopters being used in the crackdown in the southeastern region of ukraine and the helicopters clearly bore the insignia of the united nations on them. as they try to. russian media journalist from russia. ukraine army which were marked as united nations helicopters. were following them and trying to catch. them trying to scare us.

russian ministry of foreign affairs has expressed its indignation once again in the way that the first journalists are being treated especially in this particular case that the nation was carried on by the always see who have promised to join the efforts in trying to save the russian journalist and of course this is just the latest in the string of incidents in which russian journalists are being interrogated abused apprehended or not even let into ukraine altogether in order to cover the events rapidly unveiling here over the past several months. their rights to these two journalists has a massive reaction on social media along with messages of support many have posted pictures of themselves holding out the hashtag message. save our guys and among those taking part are some russian celebrities as well as internet users from europe and the u.s. many are also expressing outrage at the funks members of the media are being arrested and a not being allowed to do their job. and reporters working for our see first

boss repeats the same old joke of course you like. your ex-girlfriend still tends to rejection poetry keep. ignore it. we post only what really matters. to your facebook news feed. this is also an international breaking news story a collision between a congo train and a passenger service in the moscow region let's get an update from our correspondent at medina cochon a. so what do we know what caused this tragedy that. well we know that a freight train has crashed into a passenger train in the i mean school which is located in the moscow region and now we also know that the passenger train was traveling from moscow to kishon now

which is the capital of. preliminary reports say that the freight train real due to some technical malfunction and overall thirteen we go in so if the freight train derailed crashed into the process and you train and as a result of three waves of the passenger train crashed and now reports that come in us we speak see that fifteen people are reported injuries and people are killed to due to that ship crash now we know that injured passengers are being carried out of the carriages and there are rescue workers and emergency teams working out the scene there will be more developments out of this story and we will bring them shortly. live there thank you very much and of course as in the medina just said we'll get you more details on the actions of the as we kept up. the spying blame game the u.s. plays out with china has begun a new chapter with washington charging five beijing officials were hacking into

american companies they are accused of attempting to steal trade secrets of nuclear solar and it's something china has called upset the irony is that it comes after america and so have been caught red handed he had to gather embracing online snooping the latest bunch of release and blames the national security agency for you just have to us made into groups and tweaking them for us and gathering intelligence has got metric on explains how the scheme is believed to have worked. but years the u.s. has warned everyone that the chinese routers and other internet devices pose a threat because they are built with backdoor surveillance capacity but the n.s.a. documents released by glenn greenwald show that the u.s. has been gauged the doing just that in doing exactly would accuses the chinese of doing glenn greenwald this published documents and photos showing how the n.s.a. routinely receives or intercept routers servers and other computer network devices

being exported from the united states before they are delivered to the international customers the agency then implants back door surveillance tools we packages the devices with factory seal and sends them on this allows the n.s.a. to gain access to entire networks and all of their users well among other devices the agency intercepts and tempers with routers and service manufactured by cisco to direct large amounts of your net traffic to the n.s.a. repositories glenn greenwald also writes there is no evidence in the documents that cisco is aware of or condoned these interceptions he also writes that the methods serve all agendas economic diplomatic military and yet despite revelations that the u.s. has never shied away from spying on anybody i mean especially china washington brings up new charges against china for spying and here's how the u.s. state department responded to the chinese reaction to this new batch of factorizations the chinese statement says quote it is a fact known to all the relevant u.s.

institutions and warm been involved in large scale and we're going to separate them as well as wiretapping in surveillance activities against one political leaders companies and individuals china is a victim of severe u.s. cyber theft wiretapping it's really an activity is it goes on is that correct well our intelligence activities are focused on the national security interests of the united states so you obviously again we believe there should be a continuing dialogue on these issues with china which is why we've been so supportive of working americans. again as you say there is no shying away from the fact that the public is now where the scale and scope of the n.s.a. spying and yet it doesn't stop the u.s. from letting out of china for spying. and chris kids found one seen by encrypted internet service says when it comes to the web there's little chance he'll walk again private if you look at the internet overall you've got the

hardware the firmware and the software that runs all of the routers and the the switches on the internet these are all susceptible to being hijacked and controlled and all these back doors that been put in the chinese and put them in the americans or put them in these are now being exploited my belief is that they're starting to be exploited by commercial criminal gangs and so it's actually quite dangerous the internet really is a public place in the u.s. there's no expectation of privacy when you're in public and if you think about it that way if you send a message over the internet it's fair game for anybody to go and grab it in spite of whatever wiretapping laws and everything else you have practically there's no expectation of privacy unfortunately. and always most stories for you on line and also you don't call me including the unexpected dangers of flooding apart from killing dozens of people on the blazing many more the massive data huge sweeping

the balkans has a thousand years of unexploded land my left behind from the ninety's will also. tox report your wife makes another move to denmark he won a black market for sampling the drugs production and sales from head to our political story. and occupy wall street has been sentenced to three months in jail that's believed to be the most serious conviction against hundreds of the movement's members twenty five year old sicilian mcmillan was found guilty of sorting i don't despite claims shouted in self-defense. reports now from new york. found guilty by a manhattan jury on may fifth first salting a police officer with her elbow cicely mcmillan had been facing up to seven years behind bars this monday may nineteenth the twenty five year old occupy wall street activist has found out that she will be serving a lighter sentence three months behind bars followed by five years on probation

considering the amount of time she has already spent in jail cicely's case stems from an altercation between the activist and an n.y.p.d. officer in march twenty twelve of the six month anniversary of occupy protests of zuccotti park willage she was sexually assaulted that night claiming the officer had grabbed her right breast from behind the prosecution said she had bruised herself and the soldier the officer bubble intentionally to prevent him from doing his job as he tried to walk the protester out of the demonstration after two years awaiting trial mcmillan was found guilty of second degree assault on a police officer for what she and supporters say was a reflex response to his unwanted growth optimists who witnessed events on raveling that night also say that the woman did not receive due medical assistance occupier said many facts including the past record of the officer who suddenly claims grabbed her were not even considered in court for this case we're now joined by activist and photographer stacey wagner and susie thanks so much for joining us you

were there the nights that these events unraveled with saucily is what did you see it was probably the scariest night of occupy that i've ever experienced i didn't see her at first it is such a number of people. that had been arrested some were face down some of their shirts torn and she when the officer befell the one who actually attacked her in the park was the one to lift her up in my photographs and. i noticed right away that she was in distress she could not she couldn't stand and he continued to try and make her stand the fact that she was charged with a crime at all was was. was an outrage to begin with some of the activists are saying this is not good enough at all she should not be in jail at all so what do you what do you make of this. i think a lot of us were were definitely some might leave because we fear that she's going to get at least two years which is the minimum i think the system is broken and we have to continue to speak out against what's wrong and try and build alternatives rick steves what i mean thanks so much for your time with us today now we do know

that the defense team has already filed an appeal and saucily second degree assault conviction is seen as the harshest against an occupy up to the since the movement started in two thousand and eleven with those who took an hour or two before. the new york police department has faced numerous scandals in the past for brutality and today on all sea of emotion luke spock as a couple of gloomy examples in breaking the set on here's a quick taste. i'm sure all of us have had a party with the raised voices and loud music and sometimes annoying neighbors decide to rain on the parade and call the cops but usually this type of situation doesn't end with several people getting verbally and physically abused children getting pepper sprayed and grandma didn't taste every day the cops get away with this type of behavior a new and dangerous precedent is set one where we get the short end of the stick and the police get to be with one.

more than two hundred days spend out all day working plays that sounds like a dream job but it's the reality for the u.k. parliament that has already started another break it's leading to voters casting doubt on the government's affection is a sign from explains. well the sun is us in london and it's beginning to feel like summer did you ever get the feeling that i was still working harder when you're. making the most of it while the rest of us are dreaming of the bank holiday in a week's time m.p.'s have another parliamentary week knowing tea days away from parliament and saying you've been a fortnight since their easter break it's led to the coalition being branded as zombie parliament with critics saying they've given the extended time off because they've run out of lords to debate the parliament she press office told us there's no rigid figure for how many days the house of commons is telling r.t.

parliament as long as it's required for them to do so in total i think the n.p.c. is here going to be offered two hundred twenty three days or twenty three days away from westminster because they claim this time they're working very hard in their constituencies but that's not always the case with the normal holiday allowance clocking in at just twenty eight days paid on your leave it's no surprise that many members of the public a less than impressed but there's so many jobs and if you think about the economy and maiming everyone's working doubly hard to say of course we're going to scrutinize it and wonder if they're going to so using we'll tell you to help their constituents. in the city with you know but even some m.p.'s are disgruntled with all the time the way opposition members may kill it tweeting it leaves no chance to challenge government ministers or lobby in person this is an extraordinary long time it is actually quite annoying when you look at other gaps we suddenly have

a rising if you know they're coming you can arrange a lot of things in the constituency and it happens about expectedly you can still get busy but it's not quite so planned and it's a bit irritating to be honest and it won't be until the third of june when m.p.'s return to the house through the usual school king in the commons will receive. the full. you get t.v. journalists thinking that parliamentary recess is all about cocktails on the beach think again m.p.'s insist that they're not on recess because they've run out of ideas or are being lazy saying instead you're far more likely to find and spending time with their constituents or canvassing for the upcoming european elections perhaps not quite the holiday we all imagined it was. artsy reporting from london. spending more time to westminster than inside it became a sort of tradition for the british parliament in recent years so in the last session the m.p.'s sent for one hundred and sixty three days twenty days more that

during the previous period but it's not a record number the record won the two thousand and four two thousand five session it was actually only for sixty five days and the houses remained empty for the rest of the time and p's though don't agree with the times i was on big government saying critics forget about all the work done away from westminster. news in brief from around the world now three police officers have been killed and several injured in an attack in egypt's capital cairo according to officials gunman opened fire from a car targeting a security services building just outside i university i mean the north stop violence in the country to egyptian course recently convicted one hundred seventy supporters of the arse of president mohamed morsy to prison for writing and planning terror attacks the situation in the country's towns ahead of the presidential election next week. beyond in thailand has declared

goals such as. pulling out of. your life for the short taking every minute. the money the law the well. my old life but hey. let's say the mold slaves uses most elite players sometimes for nothing. just so we know. it's not just here but still we will be shot if you see

a stage eight to be. bought speech was. talking about all we're going to do things but now we're up buying ideas that we've been bringing up at the table at the monaco come allies for the last thirty conventions and it's going to pan out pretty good i think been a long time coming. to get to this point where we're at today where we can actually reclaim and issue awards. we did a lot of preparations to get to this point. we're actually here. it's a little overwhelming exciting. we have built a case. it's hard to argue with you know we're dealing with the de facto government backed by the united states and so we're up against some heavy

hitters you know the shark case i should be. the. he has never. done i can only wish that we. were. with. all those. because you cannot get. you don't put the work. that we are at. work tomorrow i believe. that.

we have legislated. resolution in our constitution we brought our constitution to modern it from eighty ninety three and brought it forward to modernize it that was our kick a lot of the language was our kids we had to modernize it first of all so we give as little as possible that's another thing that happened was that legislators who were elected were charged with creating a constitutional convention in the year two thousand and one to modernize the constitution and to really to really beside what style of government. yeah but it might be.

the doleful hawaiian government's legislative branch is divided into seven districts each one as a representative and a noble according to the ancient traditions of the archipelago in this branch young and old take it without distinction. so we look at being ahead of the curve in a sense you know there are a few other members of the government itself that may be my age or younger however . i guess what it comes down to is having being called old for my age for some time yes i know there's a lot of folks my age who have a basic understanding of the issue i guess i guess in the sense i find myself ahead of the curve in comprehending the moral obligation that in companies you know the historic facts now you're going to see more of our generation getting involved with

and moving our culture and getting involved in the politics. just in different pathways i think and then on the flip side i think. outside of the needs of clients within our education to how they use. it it has become more of a sport i think and. it's a cool place to come and work for two years and get there and get their trailers and then me wanting to leave. the you will be. no more. oh good. good what i'm doing here today. is the day we waited for the wrong we've always. said it only on god stat will lead me do this well today's god stat where are we

going to put the people back i know that you very spot. thirty in the years ago. we asked god. to help us. and the rest our bribe minister at that that was. the one i don't follow out. everybody was waiting for us to bring one cannot go. through deadbeat. good way to put the government together and we asked got right here at the very spot where we said. help us. help. you. you know why am i so all elated today so you know why and we say the word for all be related it how

on. all they do is happy very very happy. because where you get it to put all people back on the land at their u.s. head. through. d.c. you know whatever you call it i took out people in. the job was to be destitute. and a problem that we're having is that they're not fulfilling their obligations they're continuing to ignore deny us and that's one of the most difficult things when rid of victims of this hypocrisy but the people on the payroll if you deny us access to

all lands that we should they give us all back which we never receive the money that they should be given us we don't you could receive and this has been going off one hundred twenty years ago in national mall that there is a process now world. war conducted in our report fighting. for reclaim lands national lands. during the awful hawaiian governments convention prime minister henry never gave land titles to groups of ten people for them that simple ceremony means the beginning of a new chapter in their lives because such land a situated in an area affected by volcanic activity in fact it does not belong to anyone it is barren land where ten settlers and their families will build up their future. on.

every. that this is oakley zero zero and at the side what have. i did. say that. you gave me what i needed something. for the c. street. now what got us a chance now we have kiss and then so instead of going far up the hill miles away from home now we can just walk up here. and. it didn't matter how we were all. built to him a couple could be a bumblebee payment. and. love this this one life this is a community center where a community can meet you know you can come in have the old elders do crafts have

the younger ones learn etiquette you know hawaiian etiquette learn how to make medicines learn how to how to do medical techniques learn language skills and you know every anything that a community needs any kind of education as a whole it can come to this hot spot and then of course tourists who walking through it can always visit anybody who wants to know welcome to come. and help. me. and.

the activities of the lawful hawaiian government is poverty relief. a wise image of prosperity with its luxury of shops and expensive cars in the most expensive state of the united states exists in stark contrast with the poverty in which hundreds of people who live. along the twenty ten census found that thirty three percent of families with children under five years of age live in a state of poverty. the postcard image of hawaii contradicts the every day reality of the inhabitants of the. what you see here of all me is a homeless village that was established in. two thousand and nine this is adjacent to why and i. both harbor the boat harbor is right here this campsite is right here what these people have been able to do is stay out of

the public parks which their presence in occupying public parks seems to interfere with the tourists and the government does not like interference with cash flow in any sort so this area here is called a b. . and and we're going into the for bush is adjacent to the harbor. this i heard of this is where majority of the homeless people they got also from the beaches have relocated to this area here and. we've have all of our history of these homeless people oh been in there has been increasing in large numbers. i came here in two thousand and ten in two thousand and nine is actually when we became house less i would not say homeless because we're not home this week and how is our home because i know as are. we became house this in two thousand and nine as

a greenhorn at it on a new lot of camping and that's what i took and from there we kind of we. hit recession back in two thousand and nine seven incomes five loss couldn't continue our home gave up our home back then we began living amongst the house this people and we learned a lot and in from there we got swept in. back in march two thousand and ten. most of these people that here started from here from this camp going that way have been here for a while where this tree is right here this very tree is. in there but they're cleaning up they're trying to clean up and stuff yeah a lot of was so are we understand that we are going to gets what's a lot of us are doing spring cleaning right now sort of people who come to sweep and sweep everybody out of here as it was

a police department would assure basically why not offer basically what happens is a key the state from what we understand what was told to me was that the state is not in the business to do sweet. but the state will go ahead because of the least a half to go ahead and do a lot of the what is required by law which is the cleanup that before they leave great night they would just request. nobody has no way to feel we don't want the next where. all go to the mall then. it was a. very hard to take on. once again so long there was a plane flight pattern that had sex with the perfect hair no please.

please. please. please. please. please if. a person. i think take. this now i. want to.

sign. a new super secret laboratory to mccurry was able to build a clue most sophisticated robots which fortunately doesn't give a dollar amount anything tim's mission to teach creation why it should care about humans in the world this is why you should care only on the dot com. but the denial of their rights the poverty and the marginalized nation which they live on not the only problems faced by hawaiians there is a threat that hangs above their heads it puts it in jeopardy very existence war.

for the united states ally is not only being an archipelago with commercial and economic interests these islands in the middle of the pacific ocean a part of his strategic military structure on august sixteenth eighteen ninety eight four days after why he became a part of a nation the united states army became an important part of the island community. since then under the impact of two world wars in the korean conflict the army in hawaii has expanded enormously. today the hawaiian islands represent a multi-million dollar base of operations for american defense forces in the pacific ocean area. in fact the united states discovered the strategic and military importance of hawaii long before its

settlers managed to get it and it's in one thousand nine hundred three. major general john scofield arrived on a walk through in one thousand nine hundred seventy two his mission was to find a military use for the island seaports general schofield found the seaports were perfect for the growing united states navy and that the land between the y. and i and colao mountain ranges was ideal for ground forces as. the american spanish war for the control of puerto rico guam and the philippines sped up the annexation for the americans why was a crucial stronghold for his military campaign. built in one thousand nine hundred became the main united states naval base in the pacific during the second world war on the morning of the seventh of december one thousand nine hundred forty one the japanese if false exposed the vulnerability of

a why. i was. nine years old when the. app into a japan came by and no bomb thrower that was a very memorable day for may particularly i didn't find out the structure after. everything was said and done. when i went home to my grandparents' home i see in all old. in a roof where the planes came over and straight.

didn't i did state some military presence in hawaii constitutes a constant danger but the very existence of the archipelago. of why is a military outpost it's got every branch of the u.s. military army navy air force marines and there are unknown amounts of nuclear weapons you've got nuclear submarines you've got nuclear aircraft carriers you've got nuclear silos with intercontinental ballistic missiles those missiles are directed at targets all around the world there are literally billions of people under threat from the missiles that are based here in hawaii literally right here is pacific command which is one of the keystones one of the one of the major

bulwarks of the american empire the pacific command in its own mind has jurisdiction over half of the world this includes china russia asia most all of the pacific south america central america this is a huge section of the human population that has nuclear missiles and nuclear weapons that are directed at them from hawaii if we were to enter into a third world war and if nuclear weapons were launched there is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that hawaii will be majorly target targeted by america's enemies pacifically china and russia directed at hawaii because of american presence but it's a significant number and rest assured there's no question that if there is a nuclear war and missiles are sent here there will be so many missiles that there will be nothing left of hawaii. the importance of the american war machinery in hawaii is not only strategic in reality the economy of why. depends a great deal on the united states military structure according to the rand institute of defense studies the military economy of hawaii cause to set least

eighteen percent of its gross domestic product or did twelve billion dollars a year. military industrial complex is number one. here in hawaii. everybody thinks terrorism. too tied to the war so that's what drives our economy so it's very difficult to even have a discussion about withdrawing some of terry presents because our economy is so dependent. for some people. the united states takes advantage of valleys mountains and sees to use them as a training camp for its troop.

at the same time the united states has its hawaiians on clay for the training of foreign troops. the american military presence in hawaii has caused serious damage the environment of the island. according to the pacific health dialogue there are seven hundred sixty eight contaminated sites in hawaii. this contamination is caused mainly by the teria ration of ammunition the presence of mercury. lead napalm radioactive rubbish and radioactive fuel.

in two thousand and eight colonel howard killian admitted that there was in rich due radium and why but he argued that there was no danger for the population don't . know. why and are against the u.s. military presence because it goes against the desire to remain neutral they demand independence and also the withdrawal of the military from the islands. the military absolutely needs to go i mean for one thing you made compromises are neutrality you know we made it a point to stay out of the rest of the world's conflicts because i mean who has a problem with the war with the hawaiians for one thing i mean. from my personal perspective ideally what i think it should be is that all why should be a neutral buffer zone between the chinese power and the american power metairie

build up here is certainly something that's. discussed a lot by many people it's almost become so normal that i think some people don't realize how prominent the military is why. i live in cost cultural alienation and military threats are the direct result of the presence of the united states and why despite all of that those hawaiians who have decided to reclaim what was taken from their ancestors more than a century ago i'm not prepared to surrender. my efforts for being involved with this process of reinstatement is i'm trying to get back to being a lawful person. the law when you see here today is

a charade it's all it's a big old hollywood production is what is going on and hollywood those real well in fabricating identities and whatever else may be i guess what it comes down to is well for me personally. having been aware of the all of the wrongs our perpetrated our like oh well over a century ago part of it has to do with for me making sure that. you know that the good the world the torch these lives i think you're going to get mixed feelings for sure but it's hard i think that as this movement grows there's going to there's going to be that shift and i hope instill some sort of pull. i can participate in something that is a gift to my generations to calm. and it can be it can be not

in that space of anger i think we've got the body in place we're going to demonstrate that we're real. here in hawaii and know we're going to take this real nice to the world and had a mole this is why we executed to reclaim what is rightfully ours which is sovereign authority and reclaiming our land putting subsidies to all sovereignty crosses. free independent. once again will be a reality we're going to make that possible through law and the military the u.s. military can't leave. and just go back to an author america followed a rule. exert a rule near there. a

breaking news this hour at least five people are killed and dozens injured as a cargo train derails and crashes into a passenger service in the region rescuers are at the scene trying to free those two trapped in the twisted wreckage. russia and china eight inch towards an unprecedented four hundred billion dollars gas deal with officials now are earning out the last remaining differences. and america's for as a survey been sober sees as a chance to invest the millions of dollars into one of its military bases in the u.k. creating an intelligence hard for its on to terror campaign. on the go the latest on the fate of two russian reporters held by the ukrainian army is now emerged they

were hunted down deliberately after filming the use of the yuan marks helicopters to plant down on the sands. hello and welcome to our team to national twenty four hour news live from moscow and we start with breaking news this hour a cargo train has collided with a passenger service in the moscow region killing at least five people and injuring more than four say many of them have been taken to hospital including some of the critical condition let's not get an update from our correspondent. maybe you know how did this happen. but we know that a free train house crashed into a passenger train in that if i mean which is located in the moscow region we also know

a guide to the passenger train was heading from moscow to kishon now which is the capital of now reports claimed that there were around four hundred cars. on board off of this train now we also know that thirteen weekends of the freight train do you real journalists after that they crashed into the passenger train and as a result three way guns off the passenger train were massively down we also know that one of the freight train carriage just party crashed into a possum drill weekend with the people being trapped inside rescue teams working out the scene we're trying to get those people out of the recreation we know that emergency crews stand no rescue teams are still there at the scene trying to help those injured. and do we know what caused this trying to do that in medina. well at the moment preliminary reports claim that it's the freight train to real due to some new coal mel functioning so no also a criminal investigation has been

a long chain to these a tragedy more over investigators now suspect that there how been some transportation violations that might have been might have caused this accident. or she's meant in a question of live damage you know thank you very much indeed will be speaking to you later on this. meanwhile china and russia have agreed to yvonne's clay strengthen ties as their respective heads of states me to shanghai foremost among what they were grid is an adventure and a standing that's in preparation for a potential multi-billion dollar mega deal. isn't shanghai for us. a very clear suggestion we have received from top russian oil and gas officials who are walking out of this building over here the residence of the chinese president child high that the story deal between russia and china to supply the land of the dragon

the with the russian natural gas could be signed any moment some are saying that the deal is actually ninety nine percent complete we heard from both the leaders of china and russia that the cooperation between china and russia in the oil and gas has been strengthened even moreover it has been said that the war on the signing of the contract will be continued during today and tomorrow and shanghai so there's still plenty of time for the signature to be added on this agreement of course this is a historic deal for both russia and china for russia this is a diversification off its energy markets especially in times when europe us talking about possible sanctions against moscow for china this is a good chance to jump ball from this huge dependency on coal in the industry the dependency which is taking human lives every year is giving a severe environmental threat and also some of the biggest cities in china are losing money because of air pollution. in win situation and this is not even the

only contract which is which is on the agenda here in shanghai and many other deals in all spheres from a response industry to cultural and humanitarian exchanges have been signed as well that is before the presidents of russia and china went to open the traditional military exercise between russia and china something which has been a tradition every year during the meetings between the leadership of the two of the two countries so we are keeping track of everything which is happening and it would not rule out that anytime soon we would see the document a story gets agreement between beijing and moscow be signed. and our correspondents and producers in shanghai have been asking delegates there why they think they see relationship is needed i think we have to be balanced and you know west is still important and still represents opportunity and we believe that there will be. issues that we are now facing the way forward but china other economies career

other economies of asia are becoming more important regardless because they're growing faster is a big and they represent a very important corporation point from russia from resources and the resource sectors as well i think for russia. china not just use a massive amount of low end product i think it's is the market. is the vast market that should have tracked russian business people. from chinese perspective i think we are also trying to upgrade our industry i suppose today there's much more to work with americans because they want to work but unfortunately they're not free to write and train your chinese which is a simple. and it's not yet known when the deal will be signed to bunt judging by the comments made by i think delegates and agreement isn't far off. as to the details of

a potential gas deal well it would be the biggest energy deal of all time it's been given the making to surprise differences but more and a beijing are reportedly very close to agreement that could be worth as much as four hundred billion dollars as to how russia is planning on supplying china with gas that's now look at this map was drawn up for you and two pipelines are either under construction or being planned one is here in siberia connection there which oil fields to china and the one in the far east is this one it will pump gas all the way to vladivostok liquid natural gas terminals to be shipped elsewhere in the pacific and for more perspective on the asian union let's now speak dr shriram choose the dean of the school of international affairs mr charlie a welcome to our c russia says what's happening in ukraine isn't the reason why

all reacting to all china do agree with that. absolutely the ukraine. is a recent one won't be middle fusion with china as well as we. mentioned for your view was that russia is also going to be over annoyed by why you china it's worth thirty billion dollars and then there's also lots of books and other beautiful grown looking russia. korea. all these have been you know spoken of war for a long time because russia has a nation identity and russia also in this budget are you region union and is thinking about strengthening and uniting the eurasian landmass which is of great strategic and doing comic significance to the world and so i think this is not to be read your lead in terms of a counter to western sanctions in ukraine but in a more wider broader context where russia even a very energising all these relationships and these interlocking web of our mutual

economic benefits that will link russia closer to asian countries asian powerhouses and in the long run here is an alternative to the u.s. dollar and to american hegemony over europe. russia has the resources of course china has the demand but if the track that if you show decades ago they were two enemies you know but remember russia and china have settled their border dispute which was simmering for many decades and russian training even the i would call it the two pillars of the emerging multi-polar the in the world order good to creating an alternative international system where the us does not calling all the shots becoming the energy prices and dictating who one of the countries should buy their oil or gas from and so i think russia is also benefiting relation economies because once like india china korea and your parents by giving them more options but also and hansing their own domestic industry like vision and modernization processes which are essential for these growth engines to keep on trucking. if you like him

a patient would you have second thoughts about helping china potential rival become even stronger violators of energy in jails. i think you see the chinese china russia had our problems in the past us we should be because of the uncertain border but now we have a different fields are and i think the strategic trust has increased i don't. freeze strategic energy alliances use a lot of those for economic squeeze or also for creating a geopolitical unity and a binding him to reduce tensions amongst ourselves in the u. lucian landmarks so that we can stand up and not be crude crude divisions and providing brutal abuse of our there were some europeans our government bonds so the symbol in russia of course will continue to sell to europe but the point of it's also who didn't have to do for them but more importantly for the point of even countries we need russia and we need russian energy in order for us to grow and in that sense we're in

a very in hunting each other's growth prospects and eventually standing off of cleared of what it would have a world order dr shiran chillier dean of the school of international affairs and mr chilly or dr chilly ashes say thank you very much indeed for your time washington says to spend millions extending its surveillance program by turning one of its british military bases into a large scale intelligence hub they science reported to have been involved in but as pan out and the widely criticized drone campaign once completed will cover american counter terror operate in africa and she is part of boyko is in london with the details on how that money is so the e.u. asked plans to spare no expense on its surveillance plans but why such a big investment. well ari of crouton sounds pretty british doesn't it and it's located in the south of england but it is in fact a u.s.

air force base and washington as you say is reportedly planning on transforming it into a u.s. super intelligence hub at a cost of around two hundred million pounds it will employ over a thousand people and it will be working on u.s. operations in africa which as we know has been the focus of u.s. counterterrorism activities but the upgrading of this space is set to be completed by around twenty seventeen and apart from having u.s. personnel on site it set to be coast starved by members of g c h q and members of british intelligence which gives you an idea of how closely the two countries really work together on security and surveillance issues the u.s. base already has a direct link to g c h q that was revealed last year through the snowden revelations and it already serves as a relay station for cia communications in fact it was claimed last year that its

base is actually where u.s. data and they say data from u.s. spy posts in europe is funneled through to the u.s. most famously linked to the top paying all of calls mobile phone now it also hit the headlines last year this space because it was claimed that it's used as a support site for u.s. drone strikes in yemen which the ministry of defense strenuously denies but the scale of u.s. involvement in the scale of investment two hundred million pounds on a base or u.k. soil has of course raised fresh questions about the degree of u.s. oversight of u.k. bases and the agreement that allows washington to even. have bases in the u.k. well it dates back to the nineteen fifties when we must surveillance was really the stuff of complete fun to say so of course a number of senior politicians here

a number of m.p.'s campaign as one former defense minister are now calling for greater public scrutiny of us operations from british soil and saying that it needs to be debated in parliament and updated to if need to be. appointed by line from london paula thank you very much and. stay with us. good lumber tour. was need to build the most sophisticated robot which doesn't give a darn about anything mission to teach creation why it should care about humans. this is why you should care only. if the media lead us so we need to be. hard to see your. mother your party there's

residential buildings in this city ups and nearby villages have been partially destroyed an early morning shelling by the ukrainian army. sometimes forces report a local woman to receive a head injury and that is how it would be she was taken to hospital in a grave condition the shelling also destroyed one of the buildings of the local solar plant this follows an area. on the nearby city of what i thought which also destroyed a five tree i've wondered once again and. she said. and i say international is closely following the fate of two russian journalists working for the life news channel who are being held by the ukrainian army irina going to the latest update for us. the only evidence that we have so far as to what's happening to the journalists is a video in which it's clear that they're being treated us hostages could be in

custody of ukraine's security services or the s.b.u. who did say that they have russian citizens held for questioning but they did not say whether or not these are indeed a word the russian journalist working for life news there has been very little reaction from except for a facebook post from a member of the security council in which she said that the men working for life news have been aiding quote unquote terrorists in the south east and therefore should be treated accordingly not according to the executive director of the incident with the journalist because they have filmed helicopters being used in the crackdown in the southeastern region of ukraine and the helicopters clearly bore the insignia of the united nations on them. to try to. russian media journalist from russia. ukraine army which were marked as the united nations helicopters.

were following them and trying. to trying to scare us. which will not happen. or should ministry of foreign affairs has expressed its indignation once again in the way that the first journalists are being treated especially in this particular case that the nation was carried on by the always see who have promised to join the efforts in trying to save the russian journalist and of course this is just the latest in a string of incidents in which russian journalists are being interrogated abused apprehended or not even let into ukraine all together in order to cover the events rapidly unveiling here over the past several months. they arrest of these two journalists has sparked a massive reaction on social media along with messages of support many have posted pictures of themselves holding up the message which says say our guides and among those taking part are some russian celebrities as well as internet users from

europe and the u.s. many are also expressing outrage over the fact members of the media are being arrested under not being allowed to do their job. and reporters working for r.c. have had first had encounters with the mounting pressure on journalists in ukraine and our correspondent ground phillips who's filed numerous reports for us has now been labeled a supporter of terrorism pro-government in the eastern city of hardcore have posted a wanted message for him on their facebook page and it's not the first time though graham already has a ten thousand dollars bounty on his head from the right sector radicals but that hasn't deterred his work in ukraine in the least in one of his latest tweets graham says has been swarmed with offers of help for one victim of the ukrainian crisis after posting a video with a shop owner whose business was leveled by the on the shelling he says he received a flood of sympathetic messengers he will now try to reach them on follow his

was the one to lift her up in my photographs and. i noticed right away that she was in distress she could not she couldn't stand and he continued to try and make her stand the fact that she was charged with a crime at all was was. was an outrage to begin with some of the activists are saying this is not good enough at all she should not be in jail at all so what do you what do you make of this. i mean i think a lot of us were were definitely somewhat relieved as we hear that she's going to get at least two years which is the minimum i think the system is broken and we have to continue to speak out against what's wrong and try to build alternatives rick steves when you think so much for your time with us today now we do know that the defense team has already filed an appeal so sleaze second degree assault conviction is seen as the harshest against an occupy op to the since the movement started in two thousand and eleven with those who took an hour or two. the n.y.p.d.

has faced numerous scandals in the past for brutality they range from severe sexual abuse to shooting unarmed civilians with sometimes fatal results but what is common in the majority of cases is that in the end police officials are usually found not guilty. more than two hundred days penthouse of the working place it sounds like a dream child but is the reality for the u.k. parliament that has already started another break it's leading to burgess constant doubt on the government's inspecting its. explains. well the sun is also in london and it's beginning to feel like it you know they get the feeling that was still working harder when your office number one else is making the most of it while the rest of us are dreaming of the bank holiday in a week's time m.p.'s have a parliamentary week that knowing tea days away from parliament and it's

a beautiful night since their easter break. it's led to the coalition being branded as zombie parliament with critics saying they've given the extended time off because they've run out of laws to debate the parliamentary press office told us there's no rigid figure for how many days the house of commons is telling r.t. parliament as long as it's required for them to do so in total i think the pieces here are going to be off for two hundred twenty three days or twenty three days away from westminster because they claim this time they're working very hard in their constituencies but that's not always the case with the normal holiday allowance clocking in at just twenty eight days paid annual leave pay year it's no surprise that many members of the public a less than impressed there's so many jobs and if you think about the economy it may mean everyone's working doubly hard to say of course we're going to scrutinize him and wonder if they're going to time or so using we'll tell you to help their

constituents. with the certificate but even some m.p.'s are disgruntled with all the time the way opposition members may kill it tweeting it leaves no chance to challenge government ministers or lobby in person this is an extraordinary long time it is actually quite annoying when you look at other gaps we suddenly have a rising if you know they're coming you can arrange a lot of things in the constituency if it happens about unexpectedly you can still get busy but it's not quite so it's a bit irritating to be honest and it won't be until the third of gene when m.p.'s return to the house through the usual school king in the commons will receive. before you get to the jealous thinking that parliamentary recess is all about cocktails on the beach think again m.p.'s insists that then on recess because they've run out of ideas or are being lazy saying instead you're far more likely to find and spending time with their constituents all canvassing for the upcoming european elections perhaps not quite the holiday we all imagined it was sarah per

our. reporting from london. spends more time. than inside it became a sort of tradition for the british parliament in recent years so in the last session their m.p.'s sent for one hundred and sixty three days actually twenty days more than during the previous period but it's not a record number the two thousand and four two thousand and five session it was actually only for sixty five days and the houses remained empty for the rest of the time and don't agree with the tigers on big parliament saying critics forget about all the work done away from westminster up next it's breaking the set here on our international. well the mainstream media is crying for nato expansion new missile systems and all

sorts of stuff to feed the military industrial complex because of what is happening in ukraine yeah demonizing russia is big business in fact it's pretty much what gave birth to the military industrial complex all the way back when eisenhower coined the term but thankfully at least the czech republic is not buying into the fear mongering their defense minister martin said a big no to nato stationing permanent troops in his country to counter the threat of something happening because of the the chaos in ukraine he mentioned that the czechs didn't like permanently stationed soviet troops in their country and that they didn't want long term foreign fighters there now i bring this up for two reasons firstly e.u. politicians actually presented a logically consistent argument which is a rare treat nowadays and secondly using all the little nato countries are not in the organization to make decisions they're there to bow their heads and do was told and let basis be built in our country in exchange for protection this statement by the czech defense minister could mean the nature of nato could be shifting right in front of our eyes maybe but that's just my opinion.

that hang in folks and i mean martin this is breaking the sat so remember just a few months ago shyam crappy cable companies merge together to create. one giant crappy cable company i'm talking of course about comcast forty five billion dollars purchase of time warner cable which is approved by regulators would own nearly thirty percent of the u.s. paid t.v. market and limit consumer choice that much more but not to be outdone by comcast

yesterday eighteen ti announced that it would be purchasing direct t.v. for a cool forty nine billion dollars and if this deal makes it past the justice department eighteen thousand comcast won't roughly fifty six percent of the entire paid t.v. market in the us perhaps even more insane is that unlike the comcast deal eight hundred eighty competes directly with directv directv and many of the same t.v. markets meaning that prices for consumers will no doubt increase with no one to challenge the telecom titan even though you might be thinking hey just drop your cable service and watch all your programs online remember yes the sea is set to abolish net neutrality internet access to all media is becoming more and more costly and difficult by the day so if you believe these types of toxic mergers are insane in a free and open society then join me and let's break the set. it

was a really very hard to tell. that he ever had sex with that hurt their little. league. was. in january of two thousand and three twenty three year old rachel corrie left the u.s. to work with the international solidarity movement in rough a palestine her work was centered on protesting israeli policies in the palestinian territories their nonviolent resistance on march sixteenth only two months after

her rival rachel's selfless quest and did when an armored bulldozer manned by i.d.f. soldiers plowed over her body as she attended to stop the demolition of a palestinian home now anyone who's followed rachel's story closely knows that she was an exceptional individual who clearly had an awareness of injustice from an incredibly incredibly young age check out a clip from a speech she gave in the fifth grade time character and they're challenging i'm here because i care i'm here because children everywhere are suffering and because friday thousand people die each day from hunger i'm here because those people i'm mostly children we have got to understand that the poor are all around us and we are ignoring them we have got to understand that these are preventable they have got two hundred stand up people in third world countries think and care and smile and cry. like. you've got to understand it and then.

wow wiser at the age of ten than most adults i know not blossoming sense of duty rachel felt the world didn't leave her with age throughout her academic career she worked as a devoted peace activist and started a pen pal program between children in her hometown of olympia washington and children palestine should also work work to protect the water well programs and roughened in two thousand and three decided to visit the city for herself yet soon after her arrival rachel's life was tragically cut short and since her death rachel's parents and fellow activists have been working tirelessly to hold the israeli defense forces accountable for murder after being stonewalled for years by both the u.s. and israeli governments and august of two thousand and twelve an israeli judge ruled finally that rachel's death was an accident however parents immediately appealed that decision and a hearing of the israeli supreme court scheduled for this wednesday or earlier i had the opportunity to speak to rachel's parents craig and cindy corrie as they await their hearing in jerusalem i began by asking cindy to give us an overview of

their lawsuit in the hurdles they've overcome thus far. we initiated this lawsuit in two thousand and five. after we had been looking for a thorough credible and transparent investigation in rachel's case that was promised by prime minister sharon to president bush the day after rachel was killed in two thousand and three and after we received word from the u.s. government from the chief of staff to colin powell that the report of the investigation that that had been shared with the u.s. government and with our family did not reflect a thorough credible and transparent investigation we had to take the steps of initiating a lawsuit here in order to meet the statute of limitations. since that time it's obviously been a long ordeal and were back in jerusalem for

a supreme court date. we after we filed there were steps taken in the knesset to actually prevent people from bringing lawsuits for incidents that occurred in areas of conflict that was challenged by human rights organizations and finally as a result our lawsuits started to move ahead but the first testimony was not until two thousand and ten march and the final testimony until july of two thousand and eleven so it was sixteen months with one judge in haifa district court hearing the testimony and he had other things going on at the time so we were we didn't really realise until we got into it that it wasn't going to happen over the period of a month or so it took much longer right and then it took another over a year before we had

a verdict from the district court august twenty eighth of two thousand and twelve and the judge found completely. half of the israeli ministry of defense in the state of israel and because of what we saw was very serious flaws in that decision we made the decision to appeal and so now we have a court date on may twenty first here in jerusalem with the high court of course the israeli government's narrative has been pretty much as entire time that the drivers of the armored bulldozer couldn't see rachel why does that not ring true. there are a lot of reasons why it doesn't ring true for us that that no one saw rachel there were two people in the bulldozer the driver and a commander who was placed there specifically to be a second. set of eyes and there were seven international eyewitnesses present when

rachel was killed other members of the international solidarity movement they testified that rachel took a position she knelt but with her arms in the air to show she wasn't going to move as the bulldozer was a quite a distance away about twenty meters away and. they feel certain that she was visible and so. the people also did testify in the haifa district court this soldiers that were inside the bulldozer their testimonies actually where. did not coincide one of them indicated that when they stopped rachel's body was between the bulldozer and the mound of earth that the bulldozer of pushing was pushing the other said her body was hidden behind a mound of earth and couldn't be seen and there were discrepancies like this that made it feel quite clear to us that somebody in the bulldozer was not telling the

truth back in nine hundred seventy. one of my duty to actually was to be introduced mauled operation you're responsible for knowing. when the state of israel comes forward with all sorts of diagrams saying that you can't. that's not a good reason for being from negligence that itself is admitting negligence they have a responsibility to. be out of that bulldozer then they have a responsibility to get them person in a position that he can see and they didn't live up to that responsibility and so i think in terms of negligence. that's quite. you want to know whether. we were trying to. my response to that is. you know obviously when somebody. people sitting right next to each other in india and i all have

a. different story and. body and so one sees the earth one. you know one of them why i respond to that is why do you have the why you didn't hear you. we didn't hear. and. i wanted to ask you both about the conflict that rachel gave her life to understand she wrote in the month before a death from. quote i think about the fact that no amount of reading attendance at conferences documentary viewing and word of mouth could have really prepared me for the reality of the situation here you can't imagine it unless you see it in the city and craig what have you learned about the everyday plight of palestinians theory or work and rachel's i think in the course of this legal action it's really important to remember why she was there it was a very difficult time in this region and there was violence happening around the

area but what was happening to people in gaza was was largely unseen by the rest of the world there were thousands of people who were losing their homes they were being demolished by caterpillar bulldozers and sometimes they were being exploded. the israeli military was expanding what was called the philadelphia corridor or a narrow route along the egyptian border that they had been granted use of through international law but they kept expanding it and they did that by taking row after row after row of houses the deputy battalion commander in the court room testified when asked about how far the philadelphia i corridor or when he said it went up to the next row of houses. and so rachel found herself and the families whose homes she were staying in found themselves right there facing the israeli

military even though prior to that time there had been rows of houses in front of where they were located. people were under a great threat prior to rachel coming there the person who was the head of the brigade commander in charge of the southern gaza strip i think it's war at sea testified in court and he took over there in november i believe it was a two thousand to from then until the point when rachel was killed the israeli human rights organization bestselling reported that nearly a hundred people who were not involved in hostilities at all were killed by the israeli military lawyer argues this in court he's going to be talking about the fact that there was not an adequate investigation you're going to be talking about the district court refused to recognize international law.

normal. with you and i think. the rest of the world what we're looking at here is the impunity that . when it comes to. killing palestinians and international. and that's what we're appealing and we're. i think. it's going on here i hope that the high court bring this behavior back from the this because one thing when you break the law when you just destroy the law that's a much worse. israel itself and the idea will be much better off the normal. law and on and. thank you so much craig. corrie parents of rachel corrie really appreciate you fight in

for justice there in jerusalem thanks for coming on. coming up i'll talk about simple noise complaint turn into a full on the polies raid say ten. i marinate join me. for in-depth impartial and financial reporting commentary can from news and much much. only on the bus and on. dramas the chance to be ignored. stories others refused

to notice. the food since changing the world lights never. sold picture of today's you know. from around the globe. look to. please. please. please you will. be. the face i think you. little.

pleasure to have you with us here on t.v. today i roll researcher. i'm sure all of us know how to party with the raised voices and loud music and sometimes annoying neighbors decide to rain on the parade and call the cops but usually this type of situation doesn't end with several people getting verbal and physically abused children getting pepper sprayed and grandma getting taste. that's exactly what happen in the city of baytown texas recently when a family party turned brutal after simple noise complaint was made by the fact that a noise complaint warns nothing more than a warning a group of five to ten officers decided to barge into a private residence swat team style. according to party goers the police entered

through this back yard gate and with a known better of minutes had shot seven different people with taser guns including a fifty four year old woman who was hit with a taser dart like this four times. back up back up right now in this video you can see miss is a pita writhing in pain after being tasered. but perhaps most disturbing is this video showing small children complaining of pepper spray in their eyes a total of ten children were in the hole with the time erica clark says several times the cops referred to people at this party as what backs wow yes according to witnesses not only did police brutalized children and grandmothers but they also showed their utter disdain for minorities by repeatedly calling the people in the house what backs stay classy baytown well and surprisingly the community is now protesting the police force for what they see as a good regis on warrant of brutality from the department so let's hope that these

people are held accountable and that justice is brought to the victims but it's precisely this type of police behavior that has prompted one business owner in portland oregon to bar police completely from entering his shop restaurant co-owners john langley made headlines over the weekend when someone overdosed on heroin at his establishment langley rushed to call nine one one in response and instructed the dispatcher to only send medical personnel and not police listen to the initial nine one one call in his response to reporters about why he didn't want cops to interfere. you know. we can totally. there are. all these give us a recording of the nine one one call likely made yesterday afternoon. ok please try to come in here there's going to be another problem definitely. and a listener could have handled it so i kind of feel like i don't know what they were doing there except for maybe waiting to see if they could bust the person on

something and understand. look whether or not you agree with his no cop policy you got to give it to this dude for standing up to authorities and preventing the arrest of someone who inflicted self harm with an illegal substance maybe if more people around the country looked out for each other in their communities and fought back against the absurd drug war police could spend their time on more important things like barging into parties and tasering old ladies but i digress as bad ass as langley is just imagine the same scenario in the inner city of chicago instead of portlandia not only with the cops enter the property they were probably brutalized everyone inside like they did in baytown when the what backs were being too loud look no matter what race we are which city we live in if we don't stand up to police overreach and assert our rights we could all end up on the wrong side of the two tiered justice system which is exactly what happened occupy protesters only mcmillan who defended herself against a cop back in two thousand and eleven when he grabbed her breast but instead of the

police officer getting reprimanded she spent years in legal limbo facing a seven year jail sentence for salt today she was sentenced to three months in jail and five years probation for the incident and even though she was facing seven even one days spent in prison is one day too many for cicely because every day the cops get away with this type of behavior a new and dangerous precedent is set one where we get the short end of the stick and the police get to be with one. started off. perhaps no other insect is more vital to the health of the global produce and the honeybee in fact according to u.s. department of agriculture about one third of the average human diet comes from

plants pollinated by being over the past decade scientists have been tracking an inexplicable and baffling die off of millions of bees the phenomenon known as colony collapse disorder or c.c.d. and just last week the u.s.d.a. released its annual report on the american honeybee population and found that nearly a quarter of beings in managed honeybee colonies perished this past winter and while this percentage is an improvement from previous years the continuing mass death the bees is nowhere near sustainable could have lasting ramifications to our food supply and ecosystems but a growing body of research appears to unlock the causes of c.c.d. and surprisingly it's very likely the fault of mankind so to discuss what a world without bees would look like as well as what we can do to stop c.c.d. i'm joined now by tiffany finnick hayes campaign manager food futures and alison gillespie author of the book hives in the city if you can honeybees alive in an urban world thank you so much both of you for joining me alson i'm sorry to say

let's start with some of the major conclusions of the u.s. day d a report and how it compared to last year in the previous years sure so we saw in this report is that almost a quarter of the. died off this past winter and the report really glossed over the main culprit for this the decline which is pesticides there's a systemic class of pesticides called me and it gets you know it's the european union has placed two year moratorium on three of the most widely used to know it's in the in in the european union but the e.p.a. has delayed action until twenty eight thousand. and so this class of pesticides is based on. chemically related to nicotine and it impacts the bees ability to forage navigate get to their hive it also makes them more susceptible to disease is tess and other stressors break this a little bit more alice and how the mirror works confuses the bee for preventing them to go back to their hybrid or what exactly does it do well there's significant

evidence that it. effects the honeybees on several levels and also physics may be affecting native bees and other beneficial insects. one of the things is that it's gathered by the bees and taken back to their hive and maybe accumulating over time maybe disabling their ability to navigate which is essential to have bees livelihood they need to know how to get back to their hive mates it may also there is some evidence that it may also be disabling their ability to do their own health care and take care of themselves so it's toxins on several levels and harvard just kind of confirmed that this is the most likely contributing factor what was what else was concluding that report well i think the report that the people who wrote the report came to the conclusion that or have stated that. yes hives are mites are a factor a lot of people talk about the mine and some other pathogens and other diseases there's no doubt that there are about eight factors in the honeybees decline but

the researchers were very vocal about saying that they feel that munich incentives are making bees more vulnerable to those problems these have been declining since world war two dramatically but the most dramatic declines have really been since the late ninety's and it's noisier introduced in the late ninety's a lot of beekeepers are saying maybe we need to push the pause button and do more research before we introduce these chemicals right tiffani even though the number of being does have slightly dropped over the last few years how is the city already impacted global agriculture. and really what would a world without being. right so beads contribute fifteen billion dollars to the u.s. economy and two hundred seventeen billion dollars to the world economy so they're responsible for one out of three bites of food to me on a daily basis to two thirds of the food crops we eat on a daily basis as well so they're extremely important to all of the food that we're consuming and the thing is in the u.s.

agriculture is completely shifted so a lot of the monoculture is that we are very dependent on in the u.s. corn soybeans wheat canola all of those seeds are pretreated in munich it's you know it's so ninety four to ninety percent ninety nine percent of the corn seeds are pretreated in. and the vast majority of those core. of their seeds that are big monocultures are also pretreated with nicotine and so we really need to reimagine how we think about agriculture in this country moving away from monocultures that are doused in pesticides and looking at sustainable organic agriculture i don't think people realize how serious this issue is i mean they don't understand how i was central bees are to wife allison have giant pesticide corporations monsanto syngenta responded to these allegations and if so how well i think. rather than try to speak for those corporations i would i would reframe the question like this i

think that people are often thinking these problems are happening far away in some farm feel distant that's not touching their life but what's really evident is that especially from the last u.s. u.s.d.a. report but other reports and it total evidence from beekeepers in cities like i interviewed you see that beekeepers on the very local level are all experiencing this everywhere in manhattan in your new suburban neighborhood undeniably every beekeeper around you in every neighborhood in the u.s. can relate these experiences of these these die offs so that's a that's a very big crisis i think it saturates pretty much not just agriculture but even our local neighborhoods tree companies along companies are all using these chemicals but at the same time you can't discount the enormous power and influence lobbying influence of these companies we hold on our federal government and also i mean the fact that monsanto bought out be a logics that you research from a couple of years ago i mean they claim that it's for research because they want to prevent c seemed to him you know i just can't say that they have altruistic means

here comments on the i think the takeaway message is that there needs to be a little more time to investigate these chemicals what people don't really understand understand readily is that munich until it's our game changers there systemic six which means that when you treat that plant the chemical remains with that plant for that plant entire life if it's an annual perennial sometimes if it's a woody plant like a shrub evidence shows as long as six years that chemical stays in the nectar in the floral resources for six years after you treated tree or in some cases three years after tree to tree or soil insects that visit are being ingesting that chemical amazin tiffany i have to ask you about i don't know if you guys have heard about this absolutely and saying real technology being developed once again by. harvard that would actually use tiny robots to pollinate plants i mean is this is this what we're looking for is

a serious solution to sioux city where i mean so technology has helped us in a variety of ways but never has it been able to be as good as nature there will be so we can't we can't just use something else to take their place and we really need to look at new nicotine oids which are the main contributor why these are dying and solve that problem to protect the needs that are already in our ecosystem and also must talk about your book and let's talk about non robotic solutions here i mean of course on a federal level these companies could really do things and then government level we can't depend on that we have to really be proactive here what can we do we have about a minute left to prevent us i think the diversity of things for bees to eat flowers that have not been treated pressuring your local nurseries to please sell flowers that are not treated and to label them that way and then plant them to bloom throughout the entire season asking people in agriculture settings to plant flowers that bloom just for the flowers sake because eighty five percent of the world's

plants depend on pollination this is bigger than agriculture this is everything that's growing eighty five percent of the world's plants trees amazing we're going to be invested in our local hugo systems you guys thank you so much both of you for coming on i want to get out of hives in the city really appreciate the time thank you that's our show you guys join me again tomorrow when i break the set all over again so.
