ukraine's army as strong as the country's east with heavy arms and air craft as kiev brushes aside accusations of killing dozens of civilians during the ongoing crackdown. policies on the political left to reap the rewards of years of us terracing measures in southern europe as voters look for new leaders to drown them out of the economic doldrums. the monster realisations candled sees california prisons come in for strong criticism while a former convict tells us see the conditions and the facilities are nothing short of torture.

and welcome to anti international news live from moscow. thanks for joining us we're carrying guns being heard in donetsk in eastern ukraine as the military keeps the city under siege locals fear the army is preparing for yet another raid following days of violent shootouts when anti government with anti government groups patrolling the skies a bomb as people are being warned to stay inside and away from the windows paula ca's in the region with the details. well increasingly today it's is becoming a city of panic and lock down there is a growing fear here that the government will resume its military operation people have been ordered to stay at home and far from they windows this is a city where people are afraid in the last few hours there have been military jets flying overhead at the same time there has been sporadic gunfire that has been heard in a number of streets they've also brochures that are being distributed in various

neighborhoods they outline where is the closest bomb shelter and how people can use that bomb shelter but this is not just about a fear of a military crackdown people are also concerned that they could be a looming humanitarian disaster now many of the banks have already closed down the big supermarkets are such but before they closed down people rushed there in huge numbers stocking up on canned food they stocked up on water they stocked up on all kind of items in preparation for the possibility of a long term military strike the public transport in the city has also ground to a hold now you need to remember that when we talk about the city of donetsk where i am we're talking about eight million strong population this is bigger than some european capital so it does give you a sense of the scale of the problem that we witnessed in here i've also been talking to people who've been telling me that they feel that they could be a repeat of the massacre that happened earlier in the week where some one hundred people were killed now pro autonomy forces say that the ukrainian army was

deliberately firing at residential buildings and at least half of those people killed were civilians so as you can well imagine a lot of fear a lot of concern the city here in lockdown. in another incident during world care as dubbing and into terror operation a school was shelled in the city of dallas and right now we're about to show you a picture of the aftermath of that tague which luckily didn't result in any casualties one of the teachers told us how it happened. i heard a loud blast and came out of the classroom gusts of smoke were coming out of the auditorium which was completely destroyed that's when me and the other teachers got all the students together in the basement which could hold through the shelling within the next twenty minutes there were three more blasts then we decided we could finally come up make sure parents took all of the kids home that was a firsthand report from a teacher at the school which was shelled while students were still inside despite

a bass and evidence showing several locals were killed during one of the military raids care continues to deny bad as a threat to civilian life and the areas targeted the u.s. which has boxed the new ukrainian leaders all along believes there's nothing wrong about the army's actions in the east we remain concerned about the actions of russian separatists against. civilians in eastern ukraine there are a lot of the porch that this is an entirely one sided that. the separatists in the separatist leaders say that they've been the ukrainian authorities have been shooting at civilians but you don't you haven't seen that well if we have concerns will express them we ask globalist research center analyst amala to see why the u.s. wouldn't condemn all out military operations in the east and he told us it's because washington has been caught off guard. i think it's not going to cry because in the mental map the spokeswoman we heard speak of course is not her own voice she has to

simply express the script which is approved written for her in the appropriate agencies at state and they didn't expect this to happen. it's not on their mental radar screen they can't imagine that they do know what response to have to it if this scale of operation with this scale of casualty had been carried out by a president that you knew could reach before he was toppled in the coup in february there would be outrage and condemnation from the united states that would be outrage and condemnation from brussels and from the western european capitals why is there silence now we are seeing the metastasizing of civil war in ukraine the seriousness of this cannot be overestimated meanwhile the organization for security and cooperation in europe says it's lost contact with one of its groups and they don't have greater germany's o.s.c. envoy says this could lead to a premature end to the mission in ukraine gigia safety concerns it's not yet clear

who to the group of top four anti government forces say they don't know where they are and would not have done anything to hamper with that mission russia alongside other nations is calling for teens in media to release. his correspondence mary if a notion and point to sneer are in the region following their ballots closely for you and stay updated with their twitter feed. b u parliamentary election has exposed a rather worrying trend of europeans being pushed to vote for the extreme while be established god in france and britain reigning over the founding gains of the far right and us skeptics austerity wary voters in southern europe are showing support for the left wing forces so they picture is most of it in greece. its main opposition party critical of the e.u. to stay with the policies when to fund during to the top the main social democratic

party pasok came only fourth and as our costs are reports large numbers of unemployed people are looking to the political left for change. greece is europe's most depressed economy with nearly half the workforce either on employed or on paid but the least has worked most of his adult life and you could never imagine that he would be unable to look after his family as we walk into his flat he tells me he just received more bills that he doesn't know what to do with. not been paid since january salaries have already been cut by twenty five to thirty percent this isn't a case of who's not getting a paycheck the amount of people who are getting paid a very few greek unemployment is more than twice the average rate in the eurozone but the number of people who have no money is much higher because there are around one million workers who are going on paid some four years the government says that

the situation in greece is getting better but if you talk to these people here who are still protesting against job cuts protesting against higher taxes then clearly we can see that they're not happy with the current situation the economy and their country further they want to. go but i want to know it's how do you tell your boy while you're living like this especially when she's also when employed were not. living through hard times we're living a nightmare how do you tell your kids you have no money and when your grandkids are sort of chocolates and you can't buy it what do you say nearly thirty five percent of greeks are at risk of living in poverty according to the helen exits a civil authority and locals are slowly losing the hope of. even greece is experiencing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis every day there are power cuts thousands of people have no hot water no electricity greece is being transformed

into a third world country many have taken out bank loans to make ends meet but with no salary coming then they now risk losing their homes under lease told me that his electricity was cut off twice already but it was when his daughter was given birth and he was penniless that he reached the bottom he doesn't want any particular going about there and there's nothing worse for a father you know but there's a bit of it is when he can't help his child get through the night no person who's also an employed. all the other kids or something a couple of us unfortunately this is the situation in our country. marina car service reports in four hours see from greece. and was folks remember all the pos it cost as early hauls who believes e.u. leaders are momart about simply saving the establishment rather than solving the

looming problems that brussels asked to change its relationships to the south of europe the european union has a large deficit in what is called democracy today the european union leaders are meeting in brussels not to discuss the aftermath of the elections not to discuss unemployment not to discuss my immigration not to discuss social exclusion and all these hardships i described before but in order to preserve this model which is completely completely out of time i'm not in any cohesion with the problem of european people european citizens coming up and i'll see international it's been hard for centuries of conflict they'll deny they should set up to make punish an independent state narcs fifty years of existence as tensions between palestinians and israelis grindelwald little sign on the brakes. and the tongue in cheek solution to the world's problems pushing all political leaders into a capsule and sending them into space that's coming up the later in the program.

and gulf since candles uncivilly a crowded the kind of forney and prison system has long been a target of human rights groups the latest revelation revelation rather showed nearly one hundred fifty eight female inmates were sterilized without any of their required state approvals and as marina porton i discovered the conditions for the prisoners are borderline inhumane. america's golden state covered in sunshine. and populated by the nation's largest prison system some inmates convicted of serious crimes but many are enduring inhumane incarceration thousands of california prisoners are being caged and isolated for years or decades in what u.s. officials prefer to call security housing units or shoe kept in concrete windowless

eight by ten cells for nearly twenty three hours a day their food is slipped through a door slot one hour of recreation is often limited to pacing in handcuffs and shackles in another solitary area telephone calls and contact visits are generally prohibited california prison officials claim it's not solitary confinement but human rights officials bluntly equate the conditions to torture on u.s. soil any sort of human rights criteria that you apply to the conditions in california prisons regarding solitary confinement violate the most basic of human rights standards keeping somebody in extreme isolation for more than fifteen days is cruel and unusual it's torture as of last july thirty six hundred california inmates are enduring this treatment according to reports one hundred six have spent fifteen years living in cages while twenty three prisoners have remained locked in shoe for two and a half decades last year nearly thirty thousand prisoners staged

a sixty day hunger strike demanding reforms to the excessive use of isolation and also the creation of a path for inmates to be released from shoe conditions while california has vowed to modify its solitary confinement rules the u.s. seems stuck with the reputation of using intense detention both at home and abroad marina port naya r.t. . they in human conditions coupled with cruel and unusual punishment driving prisoners in california to insanity that's the claim a former inmate steven safer. short of torture i mean we know that these conditions drive people crazy they drive the mad clinically in a very short amount of time right now in california there's about five thousand people in long term what's considered long term indeterminate solitary confinement so for some of those people it's you know eighteen nineteen year old person who has

you know a long time to do a prison is going to spend conceivably the next forty or fifty years in solitary confinement and in a way representing prisoners from california believes transparency could salvage the dangerous and to racial situation with the prison system that it was a growing understanding of the grave psychological impact of solitary confinement so there is now consensus within the social science. confinement calls there is a significant danger is descending into irreversible mental illness and also results in a constellation of symptoms you know i think that something is very important to understand is that sultry confinement is not something that is imposed by a judge or a court based on what you're convicted as you're placed in solitary confinement as an administrative process that is governed by prison officials obviously

a whole host of problematic issues that arise from the privatization of prisons you know i think it's very important not our prison system to subjected to as much public scrutiny as possible and obviously privatizing the prison system shields that kind of scrutiny well thore is making international headlines are coming your way right after this break. economic down in the final. day. and the rest because i hate every week.

it's a. pleasure to have you with us here on our t.v. today i roll researcher. welcome back to national today marks fifty years since the creation of the pundits liberalization organization the country's governing body whose initial goal was destroying the state away zero hope for a century later both states proclaim their intention to restore peace despite the

conflict remaining in deadlock and let's not look back at some of the key points over at history so both the u.s. and the jurors stayed labeled the p.l.o. a terrorist group until nineteen ninety one when the body said it would lay down its songs in my mind to three the organization recognized the right of way israel to exist in peace but this did little to ease tension in the region the. p.l.o. want to palestine to be recognized internationally but the u.s. a key ally of israel consistently stood in the way israel's economic blockade of gaza created huge social problems like endemic poverty and refugees hopes are harder but an offer to meet a from the pope could bring about a breakthrough but form a direct channel the israeli foreign ministry alone that lee else has middle east peace is a long way away they were generic deals the israelis. really with the situation. in the occupation in the

west bank and i do see the possibility of the israeli political. reacting immaturity erode. and enabling a palestinian state so. it. is critical without outside pressure all the contemporary israeli government all the contemporary israeli prime minister nothing will work elderly people in switzerland could soon be allowed to check out a group such as healthy older citizens tired of living should be helped to dine read about the controversy on our website. and twitter me to meet a ballad wipes out how to keep the net on the web even in space already in helsinki . in less than eight hours a new curve will blast off to the international space station on

a russian soyuz carrier and while there's plenty of discontent between russia and its western partners at present set to orbit the earth such differences have little gravity travel report. soyuz capsule rolled from its hangar under a clear sky but it made clouds of uncertainty for future missions to the international space station recent squabbles between russia and the u.s. have been obscuring their longstanding friendship in orbit but if there were fears that any of this could affect the work of the international crew traveling on this mission. have. zero thanks. american read wiseman german alexander gersten russian mission commander maxime sariah or the forty first expedition to the i s s i the ground zero. and. found that in the past we can really remember hot

stuff and reconsider. our own well and there are great friends as they raise the rocket into position on the launch pad it's worth noting that they want to make this voyage something of an express trip you see normally they have to circle the earth a couple of times before they dock with the process that takes a couple of days and this time they want to make the trip in six hours go to use the shoot the flights have health benefits for the cruise and improve work efficiency it's only natural that we're trying to create comfortable conditions and we're constantly working to improve the flights but. while there they'll go on three spacewalks to maintain the i.s.a.'s and also conduct more than fifty experiments we have for example the electromagnetic levitate or is the first time that we will really have this guy put up of capabilities to examine new materials

in space we have a lot of human physiology experiments so we have a really big package of scientific experiments that this is going to fly during this mission and in their downtime they'll be keeping in touch with family of course. but every sunday i get to talk to him via a video. it's all important work work they say that's too big for petty politics if you look from up there there are no borders the borders or in our hearts we have created those borders we have only one planet we have only one environment and we will have to save it together and this is really what you feel about what we need to put the presidents of every country together in one spaceship and send them to space so then we can see our beautiful planet and realize that there's no need to fight we just need to live and enjoy this beauty. the beauty of a little blue dot we'll call home treasure r.t. by can. and will bring you a live transmission on the launch and they still use carrier with the new i

assessed her at nineteen fifty six j m t so stay tuned as all see is not true as a war path that. washington has announced a sudden change of plans for afghanistan according to bronco obama the end of the combat mission planned for the end of this year won't mean there was draw all troops from the country he says thousands of soldiers will now stay on soil for at least two years and he's going to check and. remember the obama administration's mantra u.s. troops will leave afghanistan by the end of twenty fourteen while president obama has just scrapped that deadline at the beginning of twenty fifteen we will have. approximately ninety eight hundred nine thousand eight hundred u.s. service members in different parts of the country the bilateral security agreement which the u.s. has been negotiating with of ghana's them is expected to seal the deal the war torn countries now approaching the second round with both sponsor are saying that they

will sign the agreement the current president hamid karzai has refused to sign it before he leaves office having drawn attention to civilian casualties in u.s. airstrikes the agreement would protect u.s. forces from being prosecuted under the afghan law the obama administration had tried to strike a similar deal with the iraqi government but failed and had to withdraw all troops president obama was at the back air base in afghanistan this weekend addressing u.s. troops and he told them by the end of this year. but be over he said america's war in afghanistan will come to a responsible end he repeated the same message this tuesday in washington well president obama may see the end but many don't and the placement before siegel forces in afghanistan is seen to encourage the u. was in a conflict that has lasted longer than any other us war. and in some other world

news in brief right now washington announces deploying in as long to the mediterranean for the possible evacuation of u.s. citizens from earlier the state department recommended americans leave the country due to the volatile situation and the risks of being attacked or kidnapped tensions in libya this point sue weeks ago after a rogue general declared an offensive against islam is accusing them of boosting terror. ablaze in an elderly care home in south korea has killed at least twenty one people and injured seven more most of the victims were over the age of seventy and unable to leave the burning building quickly it's believed a patient will have dementia who survived the inferno had set fire to the building and has since been arrested a camera reportedly shot the man entering the room where they fired and started. and hundreds of african migrants have broken through barbed wire barriers into

spain's north african enclave town. they were heading to the city's temporary migration center but they are usually provided with food most of them hope to be moved on to these punish mainland hundreds of migrants try to make it into a year of every year. the biggest energy you do in history could be a big catalyst that leads to the green bank losing its place as the world's reserve currency does that pinion of a range of economists commenting on russia and china's four hundred billion dollar natural gas agreement and german recounts from tejan capital partners for example believes it all amounts to a shift away from the u.s. currency while the chairman of the european central bank eve mersch says the yuan specifically could supply into the dollar and david kuo the c.e.o. of financial advisory firm the motley fool singapore told us how the russian china deal is a game changer. needs to be very aware of what is going on because what is happening

will be china will be paying for gas probably in rubles so consequently. what will happen between these two countries is that there will be thirty in the in the road respect authorities consequently they will not be holding u.s. dollars as a result of previous record you have to do was to say let's go buy some u.s. dollars and use that for paying for the gas over in russia does that mean that happened in this particular case because i think both countries want to move away from holding too much in the way of u.s. dollars earning the status of a reserve currency it isn't all about economic prowess to say so says the president and c.e.o. of the finance company as h q as say. as g.h. rather marco advises and give her mining maintains that your political chess play is also a very big factor. when people look at a reserve currency they look at the economic power of

a country but hand in hand with that also goes what is the perception at least of this size and strength and sort of military dominance and political dominance of that country in the global history and global fall attacks and so in that way the jostling for power in the pacific between china and the us and so on and even what's going on between russia and ukraine i think to a lesser degree is very significant now maybe the world has a little bit of overkill pennants on any one country and they get concerned about that so maybe a more multipolar system could perhaps diversify some of the global financial cycles away from each other so that it might serve them sort of them better in in a multi-polar world and exclusive behind the scenes look at how the news is made and running at the side of the documentary news stains just ahead for you.

to try to tell. people are going to take your new one you know like for instance you're taking every minute. now well. like what he. said he. says. sometimes for nothing. and it's. not just a story he will be just if you could you see the stage eight will be. but speech on the sentence from stance.

on abortion before this creature looks like you may be. my career is going pretty well at the moment i've got a loving and caring partner who understands my situation. indefinitely and is in the right time. i need something about it.

and the nice today and made signs of martin far worse as a pastry i am happy i was made to be alice has heard swear laughed outright all seasons in my family are again the tip of what people seem to feel see the covering themselves. we are in space or. time and it seems to

me. this is our senior national coming to you live from moscow with me welcome to the program now calls from the opposition leaders to maintain a truce was a riot police have failed to prevent protesters in kiev from building new barricades and burning tires on embattled independence square. what's happening is basically the. deal position might be the opposition in the eyes of what seems anyway in the ice of the european union in the eyes of the united states the world to get on t.v.

but whether they've come out in school these guys and said no everybody be peaceful they have all gone. to you. hello hello hello let's now cross lived all over who's following closely developments there peter do you tell us what's happening where you are at the moment what's the atmosphere in the city but what we're seeing right now is the continuation of the rebuilding. barricades reinforcing of arcades that were already there the building of new barricades and some positions and who are you all seeing a steady stream of people arriving here just behind me is independence square is continuing to have speeches being delivered to a crowd over where the main flash point is be needed the numbers stadium we just over there before i was talking to you and they barricades are still being reinforced as much as they can the still is arriving we are hearing from the opposition they're trying to convince people to get back on board with a truce to while they have talks but really the reaction it's getting from

a holiday line of riots is that they not spaying much attention to that they don't really want to see this any kind of truce one of things that we have to see what would be going around the barricades a lot of of pre-made. well it's called tales that are ready to be thrown it seems in some cases people already wanting to to those one of the most disturbing things though we have heard just recently comes from the authorities here which they are getting ready and they're prepared because of some information that they've received that they could be an attempt by khalid lying groups. to perform some kind of retaliation killing to retaliate for the deaths of. demonstrators here in kiev so that so see very worrying news and we'll be keeping an eye on not as we get more information although it's ok. i may not succumb to this time that's still if i have to meet and. i

don't want that i mean you know rush i could go either way it could be very tense all very very cold. people getting to be getting. back. have been given up on top. of. the trade is. one thing you know what. will come. to the place. like you just keep getting. have an. impact on. the.

peace if you. make. it clear. it is not full great. thing to leave it. well we think we. look better than i looked when i got it. that'll help. says a lot of people i didn't expect technology exploits him like so many people in the winter. i'm thinking let's just pull everything one time like. he stops it looks like.

you know what i'm doing a package so i wanted to be slick i need someone we can feed that is the time they clap me because that's my feeling too they keep. coming down by. love to say get it but it's all. moving down you can't. keep love just above. the world when technology comes concept they say. it's all about jazz it's all it's a. hold on hold up. a lot of the day long who wouldn't be fulfilled without all smartphones as well as the computer now i didn't think make it in moscow they're trying to get you to meet the creators of all these amazing gadgets that we live in in our world the technology behind it and also taking you to places beyond your

dreams. this is meant to carry out how many kilograms exactly to what had promised me away twenty eight. i read on way back in march that to. such a well put on to get him to say you know climb up and that i have my mike it's a mix of beer and then i'll just say i'm not a shot if you drop the face of it all i have a face a bet on the top. i'm just a minor russian and sure i don't think i'm a writer so such as putting the x. lad lead on this is not a rescue situation but let's just say that there was a situation where somebody was stuck somewhere in the snow to become a spy it's winter right now in russia and they needed to be said this was coming to cause you're writing such a. fantastic

thank you sets up that you did well if you did very well you can get good good mad and they added if you just got somewhere in the forest in the middle of nowhere to suss up his team will probably have one of these to give you a rescue that it. doesn't get a shot right yeah. i am afraid i haven't heard myself i just pray something like. i think a. taking a lot of it. is always a bit of commotion when you do like an action movement especially with gadgets and i think i might have hurt myself a little bit. mary got the shot put my finger on the mount. me nobody got time for that you gotta keep moving.

her. lose. her year too. yes that's what he saw it was this is a little bit rougher of windsor little bit. so i would think things are busy things are good it's been a bit here. like the best part so for me to get a meeting a fellow correspondent i love that part what do you think so far has been the most like difficult part the most challenging for you being an american i feel like i have to prove myself twice as hard as you would because i'm an american looking british so there's no take it off yeah yeah now i feel like i really do i feel like i work really hard to prove that i misquote as you guys every day think that's what one wants to do you don't you all do i'm going to have to pull their arms

because you. think they've struggled. so private this conversation in this sport you know it's true that when i default grad i watched your coverage of the terrorist attacks on the metro and i watched them maybe twenty times in moscow. supplier for. actually what i was doing was watching the tape over and over and then i watched lindsay friends tape over and over at the suicide i would love her if i think in those sort of stories the best. way and the most important thing is that you cannot report about anything that may cause spread panic or distribute the wrong information so if you're not sure about something you should just say. general stuff will show completely sure about. maybe you will repeat it if you need to but you know you feel sad like i have three days after covering a story and i felt i wanted you want more yeah and it's a fact it's

a bad feeling at the same time because it's so horrible story. still so this is kid. the bay for right now i have. not believe all the flights see if we don't end up here again. this problem isn't going anywhere good on him enough that frustrating thing is leaving here with. what essentially feels like a job. at least the plane he. desperately looking for just clean pumps and some planes. reach fifty. it's been interesting it's been very busy been very time see what's been going on

hasn't been for everybody all that big good story unfortunately we don't get to see the end of this but i think this is the fifth that's the nature of this type of situation is something that isn't going to be a result quickly good luck to the bio fight and a peaceful sleep. plane back to get back home to mum bill's going to pay her rent then it's paris'. small demonstrations of us a welcome to. the show we have the reputation of the filthy east of dressing appropriately for cool. it is pretty thick. like you had to say it live.

then so much time see it for you to see tearing yourself. or your peace for syria. my marinates join me on certain death impartial and financial commentary to contribute and much much. only on the bus and on. please write the scene please. search tree. and i

were being put. on a reporter's twitter. instagram. live in the blah blah. blah the idea of printing out early name it is the same like something out of stock tag but it actually is possible if you work with it you have one of the. first time i took it back in a local building and so forth ok a lot of headlines that i'm definitely getting one i definitely want to pick up in take not if you were not on the plane ticket but if reality will be good enough i mean what i did to wife smile do i just go there.

ok can i do a smile i'm sure that's me ok. not being feel bad but by by being. get out during iraq. although nothing is touching we say that all burchill which is really interesting. to me feel a b.s.c. like i don't like being around. and say it's pretty simple machine to me a week on t.v. haven't we seen yet so what they do is they'll take audit and beat you know they do it in the factory so we'll go into the back because that's the point that's all you know the whole thing and then i will see if i look the way i look at. people that make me look good. for her for her for her. small i.q. weatherwise this is what it's both minus three minutes of bed we just left yes home sweet home. base for a little while anyway to get

a quick turnaround. today i need to get those bills paid i need to put money into my gym account through my russian account which i can only do physically. so i have to get that so i just you know keep the things of. life outside of covering stories around the place keep taking over and then get everything packed but go ahead of the parish. hall and nobody in those want to let you do it you if you want to follow didn't have these guys some of those days these are adults they leave morrissey or see this dust that morrissey because he says so the little cliques and he's allowed in the quite open office at times but deep down you really love him. every time you

get off the you know it's. small and whole it's actually just see. the output. from what we. have. i was on telly a lot. as you can see. just away for two weeks in. sick. i'll try to have a little spruce cleat around before. before the artist with a lot of show every time out that's myself ugly these jeans that fit with the smoke of the. it just did from the bar did so there is a key shifted there. do you feel like it's hard to ask about a person like i feel like a mind like with my with my boyfriend i feel like i'm constantly apologizing for

some reason and i don't know why i don't if it's because i don't like have anything left to contribute i feel like my contribution is sorely lacking. from our experience required to actually have normal relationships with people who are really romantic relationships because it's really hard to explain to a person why you're being cold at four am you have to go up and go somewhere for two weeks yeah you know a west they work in the industry but that also doesn't usually work out. so it's really good for the wife you have to choose the cheers. and i do go on a lot of work and now is being held for a bit. of that.

branch my camera man. that i can operate this thing called on hold on one better way to get something that is fun to tell us and all that. it used to transport but also that is eco friendly i mean we live in moscow lots of cars but nothing beats having something so simple and i'm glad i'm not a spell in the way i'm not is a lot of the to do that. i'm just going to fart profile but i come up that way wait wait wait. what hold on hold on. my little boy can look like. ok i gotta leave for like that. can't get ahead of this thing. because i want one of the. make

a. lot of touch up. we have to get the ultimate that we have the ultimate gadget i mean i love not being at a key fast it's all about testing all the gadgets and this one is one of my favorites a five fold the equal mobility i think it's all of those gadgets that anyone not normal person can use running around town getting good air in and the first thing about it is that it's equal friendly and it looks very. well my god that one nearly killed me i'm like can you not see i'm on a damn thing like move people does with it like come on. you just found out that you will die. so.

let it die and so to it it's a wrap yeah. it's fast it's cool it's heard then it's like let's get in there. all right it looks like it's a wrap what today a. misprint is that we had done. so we just finished shooting head to the picnic and. the thing about stories where you don't have control though is that you never know what you're going to get when you get that you have an idea of what you want. and you kind of putting a story in your head before that i remember before i got to the expos thinking oh it's just going to be about gadgets some stuff to be playing around with like new technology how do they have like some quiet phones all you know smart phones a whatever and then you get there you realize that's here there's a strike. so you then you have to study just the story as you go along because

you're picking up different things and you see different things. and then you said kind of molding the story as you go so it's just part of the world we live in you just have to adjust with what you get. it's been a long day i'm tired i'm hungry. and i still have to go to work to make sure that all of my packages are ready for the next couple of days because i'm not going to be in town and it's a saturday everybody else is going out having a great time and i'm still on the clock and i could just let it go and let somebody else take care of it but then i'm i wake up the next day freaking out about what i see on telly so it's better that i do it because i can have a good night's sleep if i know that everything that i need is well done the way i want. all of the days life of a journalist as my friend say a workaholic. even though it's only

a fleeting visit to be cool but it's also quite strange that was really because. my girlfriend. big here it is one of those every step you teach you believe you will hundreds of years of european history i mean we've literally just crossed from east to west the it's the building wall just then in the military cemetery. i started with two thousand and five when it was really taking off and all getting started so i've been there since the beginning i have seen the channel change a lot and really. over those years of the just about everything with them and it's they've given me a chance to really develop as a journalist you know tom says that probably i might not have gotten the chinle that have been established for a lot of years so as far as my own development goals it's been well invaluable the time that i spent it all because they give me the chance to kind of cool all right

if you think you can do it's own up to. it one day awfully close up the salute really to. see yourself. and then. this is the right. place. think nick didn't give us the full picture of what we did getting greedy so i've been invited to actually visit one of the standing fantasy in moscow and i want to check it out what they

actually do so come with me. do you figure it of me feels any something like this. a little. except it's going to be me. quote. very much. like it all to thank the small like they've just discovered tabby ought to be

ideologists like trying to find ways to pay his debt like a student project a. very close. so we're going to let you do the puttering and then i'm going to see the final touch. very exciting to see myself almost like being reborn from like a stand all day getting into a molding machine and then coming just as and i can all just told you i'm not in fact that's ok we'll see how it looks like after this. and the moment of truth thank you very much sir. so she's good teams stylish and smart but enough about me let's talk about her i think they did a fantastic job. so from three d. tabby and me to yvonne with

a hard see in moscow for going to put this. cost basis try to. make a point you can't get much more efficient changing every minute of. the money. our last however. by our last flight would have.

him definitely is in the right time. i need something about it. this is still one of the most. isolated in mysterious places in the world. old legends of cannibals make many people afraid to travel here. to put this on the menu the europeans have been here for less than a hundred years few people know what secrets lay hidden within these forbidding mountains. they said a bunch of cannibals killed in a group of shamans a russian plane one of the biggest in the world flies over the public to get these wild mountains for the very first time. villagers have never even seen a car. what will they make of this huge steel bird european workers are told never

and welcome to all sing to national twenty four hour news live from moscow my name is either. story no. recurring gunshots are being heard and don't answer in eastern ukraine as the military caves a city under siege locals fear the army is preparing for get another raid falling days a violent show tiles with anti government groups aircraft patrolling the skies above as people are being warned to stay to find and away from the windows policy areas in the region with the details for us well increasingly to is becoming a city of panic and locked there is a growing fear here that the kiev government will resume its military operation people have been ordered to stay at home and far from they windows in the last few hours there have been military jets flying overhead at the same time there has been sporadic gunfire that has been heard in a number of streets but this is not just about a fear of a military crackdown people are also concerned that they could be

a looming humanitarian disaster now many of the banks have already closed down the big supermarkets are shutting the public transport in the city has also ground to a hold now you need to remember that when we talk about the city of donetsk where i am we're talking about eight million strong population this is bigger than some european capitals have also been talking to people who've been telling me that they feel that it could be a repeat of the massacre that happened earlier in the week where some one hundred people were killed now pro autonomy forces say that the ukrainian army was deliberately firing at residential buildings and at least half of those people killed were civilians so as you can well imagine a lot of fear a lot of concern the city here in lockdown until another incident during a world care was doubling in terrell peroration a school were shelled in the city of slovyansk which is here and this is a picture of the aftermath of that attack which luckily didn't result in any casualties there one of the teachers told us how it happened. i heard

a loud blast and came out of the classroom gusts of smoke were coming out of the auditorium which was completely destroyed that's when me and the other teachers got all the students together in the basement which could hold through the shelling within the next twenty minutes there were three more blasts then we decided we could finally come up make sure parents took all of the kids home that was a first hand report from a teacher at the score which was shelled while students were still inside in the basement despite the band and evidence showing several locals were killed during one of the military raids care of continues to deny a beza threat to civilian life in the areas targeted the u.s. which has a box of the new ukraine leaders all along believes there's nothing wrong about the on his actions in the east we remain concerned about the actions of russian separatists against. civilians in eastern ukraine there are a lot of the porch that this is an entirely one sided that i mean the separatists

in the separatist leaders say that they've been the ukrainian authorities have been shooting at civilians but you don't you haven't seen that well if we have concerns will express them. and we asked globalist research center analyst martin save why the u.s. wouldn't condemn kiev's all out militia operation in the east he told us it's because washington's been caught off guard i think it's not going to cry because in the mental map the spokeswoman we heard speak of course is not her own voice she has to simply express the script which is approved. in the appropriate agencies at state and they didn't expect this to happen. it's not on their mental read or screen they can't imagine that they do know what response to have to it if this scale of operation with this scale of casualty had been carried out by a president that you knew cabbage before he was toppled in the coup in february

there would be outrage and condemnation from the united states there would be outrage and condemnation from brussels and from the western european capitals why is there silence now we are seeing the metastasizing of civil war in ukraine the seriousness of this cannot be overestimated. the organization for security and cooperation in europe says it's lost contact with one of his groups and they've done its creature germany's o.s.c. envoy says this could lead to a premature end to the mission in ukraine due to safety concerns it's not yet clear who took the group of four and to government forces say they don't know where they are and would not have done anything to hamper their mission that under russia alongside other nations is calling for teams immediate release. and artie's correspondent mary of paula sia are in the region right now are following the events closely for you stay updated with their twitter feed. the e.u.

hour it's been hard for center of conflict over night patients setup to make the site an independent state mocks fifty years of existence as tensions between palestinians and israelis grind on with little sign of a breakthrough. the tongue in cheek solution to the world's problems pushing politician political leaders into account and sending them into space that's coming up for you later in the program. engulfed in scandals and severely overcrowded as the california prison system has long been a target of human rights groups the latest revelation showed nearly one hundred fifty female inmates were sterilized without any of the required state approvals and as a marine airport neither discovered the conditions for the prisoners a borderline inhumane. america's golden state covered in sunshine.

and populated by the nation's largest prison system some inmates convicted of serious crimes but many are enduring inhumane incarceration thousands of california prisoners are being caged and isolated for years or decades in what u.s. officials prefer to call security housing units or shoe kept in concrete windowless eight by ten cells for nearly twenty three hours a day their food is slipped through a door slot one hour of recreation is often limited to pacing in handcuffs and shackles in another solitary area telephone calls and contact visits are generally prohibited california prison officials claim it's not solitary confinement but human rights officials bluntly equate the conditions to torture on u.s. soil any sort of human rights criteria that you apply to the conditions in california prisons regarding solitary confinement violate the most basic of human

rights standards keeping somebody in extreme isolation for more than fifteen days is cruel and unusual it's torture as of last july thirty six hundred california inmates are enduring this treatment according to reports one hundred six have spent fifteen years living in cages while twenty three prisoners have remained locked in shoe for two and a half decades last year nearly thirty thousand prisoners staged a sixty day hunger strike demanding reforms to the excessive use of isolation and also the creation of a path for inmates to be released from shoe conditions while california has vowed to modify its solitary confinement rules the u.s. seems stuck with the reputation of using intense detention both at home and abroad marina portnoy r.t. . the cruel and unusual punishments are driving prisoners in california to insanity that's the claim of former inmate steven say friends it's no it's nothing short of

torture i mean we know that these conditions drive people crazy they drive the mad clinically in a very short amount of time right now in california there's about five thousand people in long term what's considered long term indeterminate solitary confinement so for some of those people it's you know eighteen nineteen year old person who has you know a long time to do a prison is going to spend conceivably the next forty or fifty years in solitary confinement until representing prisoners from california believes transparency could salvage the dangerous and deteriorating situation in the prison system that it was a growing understanding of the grave psychological impact of solitary confinement so there is now consensus within the social science. confinement calls there is a significant danger is descending into irreversible mental illness and also

results in a constellation of symptoms you know i think that something is very important to understand is that solitary confinement is not something that is imposed by a judge or a court based on what you're convicted you're placed in solitary confinement as an administrative process that is governed by prison officials obviously a whole host of problematic issues that arise from the privatization of prisons you know i think it's very important not our prison system to subjected to as much public scrutiny as possible and obviously privatizing the prison system away she holds that kind of scrutiny has now saying to national news stories coming your way right after this break.

a couple of days and this time they want to make the trip in six hours. you hear the shots of flights have health benefits for the cruise and improve work efficiency it's only natural that we're trying to create comfortable conditions and we're constantly working to improve the flights that. while there they'll go on three spacewalks to maintain the i.s.o.'s and they'll also conduct more than fifty experiments we have for example the electromagnetic levitating as a first time that we will really have describe what type of capabilities to examine new materials in space we have a lot of human physiology experiments so we have a really big package of scientific experiments that this is going to fly during this mission and in their downtime they'll be keeping in touch with family of course. but every sunday i get to talk to him via a video. it's all important work work they say that's too big for petty politics if you look from up there there are no borders the borders are in our heads we have

created those borders we have only one planet we have only one environment and we will have to save it together and this is really what you feel and. we need to put the presidents of every country together in one spaceship and send them to space so then we can see our beautiful planet and realize that there's no need to fight we just need to live and enjoy this beauty. the beauty of a little blue dot we'll call home treasure r.t. . and will bring our live transmission on the launch of the silliest carrier with a new i assessed for at nine to get to six so stay tuned as all he is not transit will be that. washington has announced a sudden change of plans for afghanistan according to barack obama band of the combat mission planned for the end of this year won't mean there was to all of all troops on the country he says thousands of soldiers are without stay and are going so far at least two years actually again that each account has. remembered the

obama administration's mantra u.s. troops will leave afghanistan by the end of twenty fourteen while president obama has just scrapped that deadline at the beginning of twenty fifteen. we will have approximately ninety eight hundred. nine thousand eight hundred u.s. service members in different parts of the country the bilateral security agreement which the u.s. has been negotiating with of galveston is expected to seal the deal the war torn country is now approaching the second round of its presidential elections with both front runner saying that they will sign the agreement the current president hamid karzai has refused to sign it before he leaves office having drawn attention to civilian casualties in u.s. airstrikes the agreement would protect u.s. forces from being prosecuted under the afghan law the obama administration had tried to strike a similar deal with the iraqi government but failed and had to withdraw all troops president obama was at the back room air base in afghanistan this weekend

addressing u.s. troops and he told them by the end of this year at the u.s. this combat mission will be over he said america's war in afghanistan will come to a responsible end he repeated the same message this tuesday in washington while president obama may see the end but many don't and the placement of procedural forces in afghanistan is seen to encourage the u. was in a conflict that has lasted longer than any other us war. and in some other world news in brief now washington has announced it is deploying a aircraft carrier to the mediterranean for the possible evacuation of u.s. citizens from libya and i led the state department recommended americans leave the country due to the volatile situation there and the risks of being attacked or kidnapped tensions and leave this place to weeks ago after a rogue general declared an offensive against islam is accusing them of boosting terror. ablaze in an elderly care home in south korea has killed at least twenty

economies commenting on russia and china's four hundred billion dollar natural gas agreement so jim rickards from tonge and capital partners for example believes it all amounts to a shift away from the u.s. currency while the tram and the european central bank even says the yuan specifically could supply the dollar and david kuo the c.e.o. of financial advisor fund the motley fool singapore told us how the russia china deal is a game changer oracle needs to be very aware of what is going on because what is happening will be china will be paying for gas probably in rubles so consequently. what will happen between these two countries is that there will be thirty in the in the road respected so as these consequently they will not be holding u.s. dollars as a result previously what you had to do was to say let's go buy some u.s. dollars and use that for paying for the gas over in russia that may not happen in this particular case because i think both countries want to move away from holding

too much in the way of u.s. dollars. i mean the stages of a reserve currency isn't all about economic from says the president and c.e.o. of the finance company as j. h. micro advises sab him in tains that chip in its culture is also a very big factor when people look at a reserve currency they look at the economic power of a country but hand in hand with that also goes what is the perception at least of this size and strength and sort of military dominance and political dominance of that country in the global history and global politics and so in that way the jostling for power in the pacific between china and the us and so on and even what's going on between russia and ukraine i think to a lesser degree is very significant now maybe the world has a little bit of over dependence on any one country and they get concerned about that so maybe a more multipolar system could perhaps diversify some of the global financial

cycles away from each other so that it might serve them serve them better in multi-polar world and next is same to national. play. golf the try to play play play pulling out of. your life for sure taking every minute. cut may the law oh well. my a lot like ok i. was going to say the most plays jesus loves to eat lobster place sometimes for

nothing which led this season and. it's not just any of the story he's just if you see a stage eight looked to be. but he was. it was the one to have an abortion before this creature looks like a baby. and a career is going pretty well at the moment i've got a loving and caring boarder who understands my situation. is definitely in the right time.

i need to think about it. they were there i marinated this is boom bust coming to you live from n.y.c. and here are some of the stories we're tracking for you today now first up we're looking at the massive deal that wasn't i'm talking about pharmaceutical giant pfizer walking away from a one hundred twenty billion dollars deal with british rival astra zeneca so one of the company get up from the table will tell you from and right up then my colleague edward harrison is holding down the fort in d.c. he has a live interview with the mikes nish shed a lot coming right up you definitely don't want to miss shots and in today's big deal edward harrison and i are talking about the big companies that are strategically positioning themselves in the battle for net neutrality and how

google fiber fits into all that you want to miss a moment of it all starts right now. in an effort to create the world's largest pharmaceutical company pfizer had been chasing astra zeneca since the way back in november now pfizer last proposed a deal for the company in november valued at one hundred twenty eight billion dollars yes billion with a b. her under u.k. takeover rules astra zeneca was able to run out the clock on monday's deadline for reaching an agreement the decision ends a month long public fight between two of the world's biggest pharmaceutical companies the battle sparked political concerns on both sides of the atlantic over

jobs and corporate tax maneuvers british rules now require enforced cooling off period astra zeneca could reach out to pfizer after three months and pfizer could take another run at it smaller british rival in about six months now pfizer walked away from the table with two hours to spare on monday morning and its decision to abandon negotiations had been widely expected after astra zeneca refused its final offer of ninety two dollars a share pfizer c.e.o. ian reid said in a written statement quote we continue to believe that our final proposal was compelling and represented full value for astra zeneca based on the information that was available to us astra zeneca as chairman leaf johansen countered by saying he was confident his firm had solid long term prospects as a standalone company last week astra zeneca board said that it was convinced convinced pfizer's takeover hopes were motivated by potential cost savings and tax

minimisation and it's hard to refute that pfizer's pursuit of a.z. was in large part driven by high taxes now pfizer hope to move its corporate base from the us to the u.k. which would allow the company to paid british tax rates saving them one point four billion dollars annually there you have it. last quarter of the u.s. g.d.p. grew zero point one percent which is progress in glacial terms at best so our next guest is going to give you his take on what's in store for the u.s. edward take it away thanks aaron the. main question facing the federal reserve watchers today is when is the fed going to raise rates but of course rate hikes

will depend on the performance of the u.s. economy so with contracting indicators on jobs and growth and it's hard to get a feel for what will happen. miss shedd locke is a blogger at global economic trend analysis is a critic of quantitative easing and he thinks that central banks should be doing less we want to talk to him about what his view on the u.s. economy is and for the federal reserve as well welcome to the show and this it's a pleasure to be back on it it's good to talk to you i want to get right into it with you miss some good economy are there expecting the change in g.d.p. in q one in the u.s. to be revised down well into negative territory nevertheless the prevailing view seems to be that u.s. growth is now accelerating but by how much that's the question and yet you have a graph of the thirty year treasury rates which makes you wonder where the u.s. economy is really headed my question to you is why are rates going down for thirty

years if the economy is actually getting better. oh clearly yeah the treasury market doesn't see the same see things the way a lot of economists do i happen to believe the treasury market year. olds have been plunging since the beginning of the year down from about four percent to about on the thirty year long bond to about three point four percent today now if we were expecting a recovery we would be expecting to see the long end of the old rise and looking back a couple years it had been rising in expectation bowls of the fed tapering and the economy strengthening now all of a sudden we see even though the fed's talks as if they're more committed to entering the end and into a brink and normalizing interest rates well i think interest rates are going to normalize right about where they are which means they're not going to go up at all will home much of the decline in rates is due to technical factors like

a dearth of long dated treasury paper and how much do you think is a real economy. i know. all the markets are so manipulated here that is indeed you know one of the problems and it's not just in the u.s. we have intervention in japan we have intervention in china my gosh the e.c.b. is talking about negative interest rates over there all to you know stimulate lending but so that to an extent does make it difficult but here if the fed really was going to be hiking we would see a lot of bond funds we would see hedge funds we would see all kinds of people acting in front of the trade front running it if you if you would just as they did when you were were going lower right and you know right around each time they announced a q e so want to least expect someone whining about that and we're not saying it

instead we're saying you want to go down so the bond market has a different belief in this mess. than everyone else and we see the same thing in japan right now where the bank of japan is talking about well they've finally produced inflation rah rah rah well if they really did if japan was was in some sort of sustainable recovery here we would see the end start to rise pretty strongly it's not it's just staying flat so i think a lot of expectations for growth are built in to the united states japan to china and europe is not going to happen at all well you know miss one factor that seems to be blowing the u.s. economic growth is the case shiller that came out housing is one of the factors and prices according to case shiller were up twelve point four in the last year how do you see the housing picture right now contributing to the economic scenario black

knight has a little bit different i don't. call their exact percentages i don't think they have it up as as much so there's a little bit of divergence that there's a difference between the methodology is here so you know one you know one agency says one and certainly one of people follow the most probably is is is case shiller but if you have home prices are up unless let's just say they are what does that do for demand from the marginal buyer the one of the drivers of the economy is in a normal recovery least would be new household formation and we're not seeing it all new home sales are absolutely you know in in the gutter in some months they rise or stabilize a bit this last month they rose but it was so we haven't even it was all in the midwest and the northeast the west the other areas were were down so we

see a little bit of stabilization or normalization actually i think they the home sales rose what twice in the last nine months and that's supposed to be an indication that things are going to get student docsis about one point four trillion something like that we've got record numbers of people aged twenty nine to thirty five still living at home with their parents there's no demand for housing from these people a lot of the housing demand that we did see was hedge funds and ever private equity i mean. people like groups like black rock buying homes just for appreciation well now that they've appreciated what are they going to do is going to be unloading these are they going to be running them certainly we're not seeing growth where we need to see it and that's a new household formation and if you look at all the student debt with kids

graduating from college without a job. kids moving back home with their parents with a different mentality about houses and financial assets i don't know when we're going to see their growth in fact i think housing is very much likely to subtract from g.d.p. . this year and that'll be the first time probably since the bottom in two thousand not so where's the growth coming from that everyone sees china slowing down u.s. exports are going to be that missile you're going to be there for a second because we're going to run out of time so here i want to ask you a question related to what you're talking about you know basically we're talking about household formation being very negative in people taking on student loans and so forth what do you make of the long term unemployment situation and what kind of impact do you think that's going to have on medium term growth in the u.s. . oh it's going to have a huge impact it already is it's you know burn akki was scratching his head trying

to figure out you know why his policies weren't working well they bailed out the banks that bailed out the financial institutions a rigged night to pressure the junk bond market which is in a bubble if you ask me. but that didn't do anything for the economic fundamentals and it didn't help people who were student debt it really didn't spur creations of jobs what it did do was create a huge rise in income inequality and if you look at the homes that are selling now a lot of them are at the high end and that's actually pushing the averages up that's why that's one of the reasons why you know we're seeing these these home price appreciation i don't think we're seeing it you know where we want it we're not seeing household formation where we want to are seeing financial speculation we're saying private equity buying homes where is it go without stops so all of

these things you know tied together i just don't see a picture here for strong growth with all of this debt would with no fundamentals of have changed. here you miss and i'd love to talk a little bit more but we were actually run out of time so i just want to thank you and hopefully we'll have you back in the. pleasure to be on ed that was michael missed said lock erin what's coming up next. thanks ed time now for a very quick break but stick around because when we return a marshall auerbach is on the program and he's discussing the so-called competitiveness problem in the euro zone periphery scary stuff and in today's big deal edward harrison and i are discussing google fiber and how big companies are positioning themselves in the battle for net neutrality but before we go here are a look at some of your closing numbers of the bell stick around.

economic growth take. these now wait and see. if the. sign. on the money with the business over russia.

your friends post a photo from a vacation you can't. call it different. the boss repeats the same old joke of course you like. your ex-girlfriend still it's tear jerking poetry. norrish. we post only what really matters. to your facebook u. street. welcome back to the show now europe seems like it's back from the dead growth is up ireland is out of the troika program spain is to portugal things that can top public debt markets and even greece believes it stands a chance of weaving bailouts behind it as it has come back to the public markets but is the situation really so good and how long will it last that's the question

now marshall are a back is the director of institutional partnerships at the institute for new economic thinking and he sat down with me and i started by asking him about the so-called competitiveness problem in the eurozone periphery and if this problem led to the crisis in the first place take a look at what he had to say i guess again if you take a step back let's look at the u.s. for example if texas has a current account surplus with the other forty nine states does it really matter. or you can or you could make the case that say states like arkansas or mississippi have had quote unquote competitive problems because of the california for a long period of time but you've had these automatic stabilisers you've had distributions from state to state which would actually help to alleviate the problem so people don't really look at it in those terms the competitive this problem becomes an issue because you are affectively that these countries are in. no man's land they are functionally in

a physical sense like states because they're users of currency but they don't have a mechanism in place there's no super national entity which can establish these distributional mechanisms which would alleviate these competitive problems and that's the real core problem to the competitive problems is a symptom of a flawed architecture it's not the problem itself marshall are you worried about deflation in the eurozone yes i think that if you don't get some significant turnaround some of these countries in fact in it may be even the rate of inflation people say well it's still you know we're still running at about zero percent to one percent positive but actually if you look at seven or eight countries in the periphery they're already starting to decelerate further and i'm not sure that for example q we essentially just transfer bonds for reserves in the banking system is actually going to impact on that what you really need is a sustained program of public investment tax cuts whatever you want however you want to do it but fiscal stimulus i think is the only way to avert that and i'm not

sure that the eurozone is has yet cross that rubicon now a study puts the aggregate european bank capital shortfall around one trillion dollars and this is in anticipation of the european central bank's asset quality review isn't this a big problem as well. it's a problem if you in the sense that if they're not prepared to backstop those those liabilities it can become a much bigger problem i'm not even sure one trillion is the real problem the the bigger problem is that you have in regards to the banks in europe is that they are massively overcapitalized relative to g.d.p. and so the question becomes how do you guarantee the deposits in a credible way and i don't think that's been resolved i mean ireland for example that really was the camel of the straw that broke the camel's back in the sense that you had the irish government that said several years ago we're going to guarantee all of the positives in the irish banks and the markets began to say well

hold on irish banks as a percentage of g.d.p. is about five or six times the g.d.p. how can the irish government which doesn't issue the euro credibly back those those deposits and that's the same problem you have across europe even in places like germany you have a banking system that's about three hundred fifty percent of g.d.p. so they may have the public finances right now to provide a credible method of deposit insurance but i'm not sure many other countries do in that situation. marshall in the one nine hundred ninety s. we didn't have a financial crisis after a big housing bubble and sweden made sure that banks wrote down debt and that the bank shareholders took losses losses were so large in fact that the government became a principal bank shareholder but eventually the government sold its bank shares at a profit so is this what has happened in the year in europe and the united states well it hasn't happened i mean unfortunately that's what should have happened of course the other point that sweden had and also norway had in those days was that it had its own currency so of course it could take the write downs and it could

actually reflate on its own provide the first resources necessary to absorb the banking shock now you can't really do that in the eurozone because they have a common currency and the only institution as i said that can actually create the currency the backstop will the liabilities is the european central bank i think mario draghi wants to do that but i think he's very politically constrained by countries like germany finland the netherlands and that's and that's a real problem again it all comes back to poorly constructed financial architecture . now i understand that you lived and worked in asia during the asian crisis just as japan it was sliding into deflation now what lessons can europeans draw from that experience in dealing with their own problems. well it's a good question and i would like to see the japanese in particular learn from that as well because they seem to be repeating the same mistakes but again it goes back to fiscal policy in asia they did actually make a lot of the same mistakes that the europeans were making in the sense that when

the crisis first started ninety seven. came in and effectively told these countries you've got to balance your budget and increase interest rates which of course exacerbated the deflation and it was only when their currencies collapsed and they started getting an outlet through exports and their current accounts in places like korea malaysia thailand began to reverse very substantially they began to grow again and similarly today i mean one of the reasons why a country like iceland has done better than many of these other countries is because it has its own currency and because as you suggested it forced the banks shareholders and bondholders to take a haircut which is something we haven't done in europe and and i think that's been a really big problem no one's really prepared to get real and if that happened in japan as well took them almost ten years before they were ready to make the write downs necessary on their banking system. now do you believe the way that europe is dealt with banking capital shortfalls is better than the way that the japanese

dealt with them. well look i think the no is the answer i think they both have refused to provide any kind of market transparency i mean i think the real way that you want to deal with them was the way you described earlier when you had a situation in sweden where you effectively nationalized the bad banks you did a restructuring and turn them over to new management punish the shareholders in the bondholders but save the depositors and i think that's the way we dealt with the problem here in the u.s. in during the one nine hundred thirty s. in fact the swedish finance minister bo lundgren once told me that they used the model outlined by jesse jones in his nineteen in his memoirs about the reconstruction finance corporation we seem to have lost that lesson we did make a much better go bit during the savings and loans crisis in the sense that we prosecuted recalcitrant and criminal c.e.o.'s but in addition to that we there was a degree of market parts transparency a lot of the state was was written down and sold off to private sector parties and

there was genuine restructuring of the savings and loan industry we haven't had that in the u.s. we haven't had the year of the fundamental structure remains the same so all we've done is to for problems until the next banking crisis in my opinion. marshall what are your thoughts about pan now that i'll be nomics i started. you know it was working for a while but again if you look at the data recently there's been some deterioration in the trade account registering trade deficits right now that's partly because the rest of the world is slowing down particularly china but the other problem is that they seem to have stupidly repeated the mistakes they made in one nine hundred ninety seven when the increase the consumption tax so again it's this worry that you know we got to deal with the fiscal problems instead of seeing the fiscal deficit as a symptom of an underlying economy and what they should have really done which is still allow the economy to grow the deficits would have come down japan has

a very. that was a marshall era back from the institute of new economic thinking time now for today's big deal. i like that song already is a big one no big deal time with my favorite guy mr edward harrison now in today's big deal edward harrison and i are talking about big companies that are positioning themselves in the battle field for net neutrality the latest update on all this google fiber now google fiber is google's internet service company that provides broadband internet to certain cities in the u.s. now in a blog post the google fiber team so that they would never i repeat never charge a content creating company for direct interconnection to its network charging for

a direct interconnection is of course exactly what a big guy is like comcast of arisan want to do and it just shows how this battle over net neutrality is heating up now yes c.c. has proposed net neutrality rules and is personally receiving public comments. so edward this sounds pretty technical to say the least so i want you to break this down for us so let's start off with the problem the problem is a good place to start netflix has recently agreed to pay a premium to connect directly to comcast internet service in order to improve speeds but netflix c.e.o. reed hastings argues that i ask he's our centrally charging unfair toll so can you give me a brief recap of the arguments around net neutrality in this idea of a toll well basically it goes around content providers versus the people who are actually getting the content you and me in the last mile in our homes and so boils down to is you we want to get netflix or whatever other content that we want and we want it and we don't want it to be discriminated against or we don't want it to be

slowed down in any way shape or form but the reality is that certain content providers like that flicks are actually taking up a huge amount of the band with at certain times apple for instance when they have the downloads of i o. west when they update their. apple i phone system operating system they have huge been with constraints and so apple has made an interconnection agreement with peas in order to make sure that they have enough bandwidth of those particular times and so the question is is that a toll the price that apple's pain and now that netflix is play netflix says yes it is a tool but companies like comcast and the rise and say it's not at all. now i want to ask you about how does this google fiber announcement undermine this toll and what are the terms direct interconnection and peer in piri as in looking. well you know i don't know how much it doesn't demand because google is playing both of this because they're actually a content company primarily and they only have google fiber in part and that's only

in three cities so really what they're you know in terms of the period of arrangements what happens is that you know in the long haul fiber they have period interconnection arrangements with one another and that's where the top. com you could actually have a long haul fiber for the take you to the last mile or you can connect directly to the last mile that is the riser comcast and what we're seeing is these direct connections and you're paying a feed order to do that in order to ensure that you get the fastest speed in your connection to that. ok so google fiber it essentially is offering a challenge to big piece in america that's how i see it and they're saying that they can run a profitable high quality business by allowing free period and that comcast summarize an argument argument that you know you need to pay so that the company can alleviate the network injection congestion a coffee it's just simply nonsense so i want to ask you google fiber is only in

three cities right now and they are not really in the eye of p. instead they're mostly a content provider like netflix so is this just an example of google talking big without really needing to rely on internet service to generate generate their revenue. as i was saying before i think that they are conflicted in the sense that they can talk that game obvious because they're mostly content providers so that at the end of the day google is going to top the content game unless the i's they're just using the eye as he gave as a stick in order to get into that business and to to say something different in order to help out. and i mean it certainly sounds like a dirty dirty game but this isn't the last we'll hear of it that's for sure well there you have it thank you as always you can see all segments featured in today's show on you tube at youtube dot com slash boom bust our teeth please tweet us at edward and age from all of us here at the bus thank you for watching we'll see you next time tell.

this is still one of the most isolated and mysterious places in the world old legends of cannibals make many people afraid to travel here are they going to put us on the menu the europeans of being here for less than a hundred. yes few people know what secrets lay hidden within these forbidding mountains. they said a bunch of cannibals killed in a group of shamans a russian plane one of the biggest in the world flies over public to get these wild mountains for the very first time. villages have never even seen a car. what will they make of this huge steel. european workers are told never to venture out alone. truth said miss.

ukraine's army stormed the country's east with heavy arms and aircraft as kiev brushes aside occasions of killing dozens of civilians during the ongoing crackdown . polishes on the political left to rid their walls of years of a starry sea measures in something as violent as new for new leaders to draw on the model that you can only doldrums. on the monster lies ations condos seize california and prisons come in full strong criticism while a former cold exit tells us he be conditionals and so this is on nothing short of torture.

this is all saying to national coming to live from moscow hello and welcome to the program. were occurring gunshots are being heard in donetsk in eastern ukraine as the ministry caves decision to sage locals fear the army is preparing for yet another raid following days of violent shit towns with anti-government groups aircraft are patrolling the skies above as people are being warned to stay inside and away from the windows. in the region with the details for when increasing needed it is becoming a city of panic and lock down there is a growing fear here that the kiev government will resume its military operation people have been ordered to stay at home and far from they windows in the last few hours there have been military jets flying overhead at the same time there has been sporadic gunfire that has been heard in a number of streets but this is not just about a fear of a military crackdown people are also concerned that they could be

a looming humanitarian disaster now many of the banks have already closed down the big supermarkets are shut the public transport in the city has also ground to a hold now you need to remember that when we talk about the city of donetsk where i am we're talking about eight million strong population this is bigger in some european capitals i've also been talking to people who've been telling me that they feel that they could be a repeat of the massacre that happened earlier in the week where some one hundred people were killed now pro autonomy forces say that the ukrainian army was deliberately firing at residential buildings and at least half of those people killed were civilians so as you can well imagine a lot of fear a lot of concern the city here in lockdown and another incident during world caleb's dubbing and to terrill peroration a score was shelled in the city of. and this is a picture of the aftermath of that target as you can see here which luckily didn't result in any casualties and one of the teachers told us how it happened. i heard

a loud blast and came out of the classroom just of smoke were coming out of the auditorium which was completely destroyed that's when me and the other teachers got all the students together in the basement if we could hold through the shelling within the next twenty minutes there were three more blocks then we decided we could finally come up make sure parents to clear the kids home and that was a fast hand report from a teacher at the school which was shelled while students were still inside despite that and evidence showing several locals were killed during one of the military raids care of continues to deny a threat to civilian life in the area. the u.s. which has boxing ukrainian leaders all along believes there's nothing wrong rb on his actions at the east we remain concerned about the actions of russian separatists against. civilians in eastern ukraine there are a lot of the porch that this is an inquiry one sided that. the separatists of the

separatist leaders say that they've been the ukrainian authorities have been shooting civilians but you don't you haven't seen that well if we have concerns will express them and we offer globalist research center analyst martin safe why the u.s. wouldn't condemn caves all out militia operation based he told us is because washington's been caught off guard. i think it's not going to cry because in the mental map the spokeswoman we heard speak of course is not her own voice she has to simply express the script which is approved. in the appropriate agencies at state and we didn't expect this to happen. it's not on their mental read or screen they can't imagine that they do know what response to have to it if this scale of operation with this scale of casualty had been carried out by a president that you knew could it before he was toppled in the coup in february there would be outrage and condemnation from the united states that would be

outrage and condemnation from brussels and from the western european capitals why is there silence now we are seeing the metastasizing of civil war in ukraine the seriousness of this cannot be over estimated meanwhile the organization for security and cooperation in europe says it's lost contact with one of its groups and they don't ask region germany's o.s.c. envoy says this could lead to a premature end to the mission in ukraine due to safety concerns it's not have clear to the group of four anti-government forces say they don't know where they are and would not have done anything to hamper with that mission russia alongside other nations is calling for teens immediately and our correspondents marry if a notion and pull us near our in the region are following the events closely for he they actually upload their findings on that twitter feed. just follow them.

the e.u. parliamentary election has exposed a rather boring trend of europeans being pushed to vote for the extreme while they established god in france and britain are reeling over their stock machine gangs of the far right and euro skeptics austerity wary voters in southern europe are showing support left wing forces so the picture is most vivid in greece left to have a look it's main opposition party critical of the policies went on during to the top the main social democratic party or pasok came only fourth and he's a marine of course are reports large numbers of unemployed people are looking to the political left for change. greece is europe's most depressed economy with nearly half the workforce either on employed or on paid under lease but basilio has worked most of his adult life and you could never imagine that he would be unable to work after his family as we walk into his flat he tells me he just received more

bills that he doesn't know what to do with. have not been paid since january salaries have already been cut by twenty five to thirty percent this isn't a case of who's not getting a paycheck the amount of people who are getting paid a very few greek unemployment is more than twice the average rate in the eurozone but the number of people who have no money is much higher because there are around one million workers who are going on paid some four years the government says that the situation in greece is getting better but if you talk to these people here who are still protesting against job cuts protesting against higher taxes then clearly we can see that they're not happy with the current situation the economy. they want to. thank the. i want to know how do you tell your wife why you're living like this especially when she's also one employed we're not living through hard times we're living

a nightmare how do you tell your kids you have no money and when your grandkids ask for chocolates and you can't buy it what do you say nearly thirty five percent of greeks are at risk of living in poverty according to the helen x. it's a sickle authority and locals are slowly losing the hope that. greece is experiencing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis every day there are power cuts thousands of people have no hope water no electricity greece is being transformed into a third world country many have taken out bank loans to make ends meet but with no salary coming then they now risk losing their homes under lease told me that his electricity was cut off twice already but it was when his daughter was given birth and he was penniless that he reached the bottom. it doesn't i'm any particular going about there and there's nothing worse refer to me but you know but there's a bit it's of these when he can't help his child you have to get through to the man

who's also one employed. with all the other kids these tours of them you've got this is the world most unfortunately this is the situation in our country marina cost server reports in far from greece. and member all they see where it said policy cost us in the halls he believes in here leaders are more worried about simply saving the establishment rather than solving the looming problem. brussels has to change its relationships to greece and the south of europe the european union has a deficit in what is called democracy today the european union leaders are meeting in brussels not to discuss the aftermath of the elections not to discuss unemployment not to discuss my immigration not to discuss social exclusion and all these hardships i described before but in order to preserve this model which is

completely completely out of time i'm not in any cohesion with the problem of european people european citizens. coming up announcing international this hour it's been half a century of conflict that when eyes ation setup to make palestine an independent state knocks fifty years of existence as tensions between palestinians and israelis grind on with little sign of a breakthrough. and a tongue in cheek solution to the walls problems putting all political leaders into a capsule and sending them into space that's coming out later in the program. a massive interest internet forum devoted to the issues of privacy and surveillance has taken place in stockholm how about all the needs in whistleblowers including edward snowden and glenn greenwald were blacklisted from taking part even we can make for presents to bond so they move house calls the storm on twitter which has

been rife with sarcasm and anger towards the conferences organizers users were left wondering how it's even possible to carry out an intent for without inviting the most prominent defenders of internet privacy and to talk more on this issue i'm now joined live by kristinn hrafnsson we collect spokes person and investigative journalist mr prophets and welcome to r.c. the organizers and she gave some answers as to why these people were not invited let's now take a listen together. to that for three years ago we. were a tear years for for the invitations. we had that we should strive for in the balance here a must admit that we have not been entirely success we have. seen it as important to you. to look into that we supply such

or to the revelations as such what we believe we should do is to discuss how can we find solutions in order to protect human rights. in an environment where surveillance is a reality so what do you think about those excuses. well i don't think they're very credible i mean how can you would discuss the legal problems of the internet and the dangers of most surveillance there without analyzing the problem and actually inviting the people who are experts in the field . this is a forum that is sponsored by the foreign minister of sweden headed by the foreign minister and we have been known since two thousand and eleven and twelve that they were not interested to have any elements of their that were critical of the united states government and the activities of the u.s.

agencies we were blacklisted and i mean we can leak some people associated with we can leaks back in two thousand and twelve and yes they do have a blacklist now where they did not. and actually humorously claim that they don't have a blacklist they only have a list of people that they have invited in a list of people they have not invited but that is a blacklist and that has been confirmed it doesn't surprise me if you look at the revelations both by we can lease and by edward snowden you see the role that sweden plays behind this facade of neutrality they are basically the lap dogs of the united states government so basically you're saying that this incident undermines the whole concept of the conference right. well of course it does i mean how can you how can you exclude we can because how can you were excluded edward snowden how can you exclude discussing the explosive revelations by. these important whistleblowers that have set forth in the last a few years. totally changing or the entire perception we have of the internet

and raising serious questions of the future of the internet if you want to discuss internet freedom you have to have these elements there and briefly if you can and mr kraft and center does this event signify the rising pressure on whistleblowers across the world do you think. this is. we are going to see more whistleblowers and we're going to see more revelations about the internet and unfortunately that's not going to be dust discussed in sweden they are going to be preoccupied in finding markets for their weapons and the weapons export. analysts thank you very much indeed for sharing it here so that's where it's at. and more stories making international headlines is coming your way right after this break.

prisoners are being caged and isolated for years or decades in what u.s. officials prefer to call security housing units or shoe kept in concrete windowless eight by ten cells for nearly twenty three hours a day their food is slipped through a door slot one hour of recreation is often limited to pacing in handcuffs and shackles in another solitary area telephone calls and contact visits are generally prohibited california prison officials claim it's not solitary confinement but human rights officials bluntly equate the conditions to torture on u.s. soil any sort of human rights criteria that you apply to the conditions in california prisons regarding solitary confinement violate the most basic of human rights standards keeping somebody in extreme isolation for more than fifteen days

is cruel and unusual it's torture as of last july thirty six hundred california inmates are enduring this treatment according to reports one hundred six have spent fifteen years living in cages while twenty three prisoners have remained locked in shoe for two and a half decades last year nearly thirty thousand prisoners staged a sixty day hunger strike demanding reforms to the excessive use of isolation and also the creation of a path for inmates to be released from shoe conditions while california has vowed to modify its solitary confinement rules the u.s. seems stuck with the reputation of using intense detention both at home and abroad marina portnoy r.t. . the cruel and unusual punishments are driving prisoners in california to society that's the claim of former inmates statement safer it's no it's nothing short of torture i mean we know that these conditions drive people crazy they drive the mad

clinically in a very short amount of time right now in california there's about five thousand people in long term what's considered long term indeterminate solitary confinement so for some of those people it's you know eighteen nineteen year old person who has you know a long time to do a prison is going to spend conceivably the next forty or fifty years in solitary confinement. representing prisoners from california police transparency some of which they dangerous and deteriorating situation in the prison system that. there is a growing understanding that sounds good grave psychological impact to solitary confinement so there is now consensus within the social science. confinement calls there is a significant danger is descending into irreversible mental illness and also results in a constellation of symptoms you know i think that something is very important to

understand is that solitary confinement isn't all something that is imposed by a judge or a court based on what you're convicted us you're placed in solitary confinement as an administrative process that is governed by prison officials obviously a whole host of problematic issues that arise from the privatization of prisons you know i think it's very important not our prison system be subjected to as much public scrutiny as possible and obviously privatizing the prison system shields that kind of scrutiny russian police ascension from missing motorcycle and being done as a boss and that's because a vital question would be a riot about four legged stock has made a name for himself along with the full story on top. of the curve in switzerland it's a chess how fate over the citizens her times over the ring should be helps to die worried about the contrabass on our website.

have for example the electromagnetic levitate or is the first time that we will really have this guy put up of capabilities to examine new materials in space we have a lot of human physiology experiments so we have a really big package of scientific experiments that this is going to fly during this mission and in their downtime they'll be keeping in touch with family of course. but every sunday i get to talk to him via video. it's all important work work they say that's too big for petty politics if you look from up there there are no borders the borders are in our heads we have created those borders we have only one planet we have only one environment and we will have to save it together and this is really what you feel and. we need to put the presidents of every country together in one spaceship and send them to space so then we can see our beautiful planet and realize that there's no need to fight we just need to live and enjoy the beauty. the beauty of

dramas the truth be ignored. stories others refuse to know for some. folks since changing the world writes never. so picture of today's leaves a month from poems a month from around the globe from local. t.v. . and the knees today amid signs of moderate far worse as a pastry prior to monday maybe are to blame that israel's place right square in the telestrator season was an arcade i'm saying it's somewhat interesting to see the game sales which. we are seeing are in some sort of interest to.

me. this is our senior national coming to live from moscow to with me welcome to the program now calls from the opposition leaders to maintain a truce was a riot police have failed to prevent protesters in kiev from building new barricades and burning tires on embattled independence square. but what's happening is basically the. deal position might be the opposition in the i.c. what seems anyway in the ice of the european union in the eyes of the united states the world to get on t.v.

but whether they've come out and schooled these guys and said no everybody be peaceful they've all gone. through you. hello hello hello let's now cross live to our correspondents all over who's following closely developments there peter do you tell us what's happening where you are at the moment what's the atmosphere in the city but what we're seeing right now is the continuation of the rebuilding. barricades reinforcing of arcades that were already there the building of new barricades and some positions. where you all seeing a steady stream of people arriving here just behind me is independence square is continuing to have speeches being delivered to a crowd over where the main flash point is they needed to numb a stadium we were just over there before i was talking to you and the barricades are still being reinforced as much as they can the still hold thai is arriving we are hearing from the opposition that they're trying to convince people to get back on board with a truce to have talks but really the reaction it's getting from

a holiday line of riots is is that they not spaying much attention to that they don't really want to see this any kind of trees one of the things that we have see what would be going around the barricades is a loss of of three made. well it's called tales that are ready to be thrown it seems in some cases people already wanting to to those one of the most disturbing things we have. just recently comes from the authorities here which they all eg getting ready and they're prepared because of some information that they've received that they could be an attempt by khalid like groups. to perform some kind of retaliation killing to retaliate for the deaths of. demonstrators here in kiev so that's o.c. very worrying news and we'll be keeping an eye on not as we get more information although it's ok. i may not succumb to this. that still have to meet and. i

don't want that i mean you know rush i could go either way it could be very tense all very very old. people getting to be getting. something. have been given up on top. of. the trade is. one thing you know one. will come. to. like you if you just keep. have to. impact on. the.

peace if you. make. it clear. it is not liberate. you have ended up in. when we think we. look better than i looked when i got it. that'll help. says a lot of people i didn't expect technology exports to make so many people into winter . so i'm thinking let's just pull everything one tight shot like. that looks like.

you know what i'm doing a package so i want to make i need someone we can see that is. a happy because that's my getting to take you to come down by the to say get it but it's all. moving down there you can't. plug just above. the world where technology comes concept they say. it's all about cash it's all it's a. hold up. a lot in de lima's it wouldn't be fulfilled without all smartphones as well as the computer now i'd keep big macand in moscow they're trying to get you to meet the creators of all these amazing gadgets that we live in in our world the technology behind it and also taking you to places beyond your dreams. this is

meant to carry out how many kilograms expect to lot of promise the only way forty eight. i really don't the way that it might lead to. such a well put on to get him to say you know climb up in that i have my mike it's a mix of fear and then i'll just say i'm not a shot if you drop the pace of it or whatever i'm facing a bad lot. i'm just a my russian and sure i don't think i'm a writer so such as putting the x. lad lead on this is not a rescue situation but let's just say that there was a situation where somebody was stuck somewhere in the snow to become a spy it's winter right now and brush up and they needed to be this coming to the united such a. fantastic

thank you sets up you did well you did very well you can get a good match and they added if you just got somewhere in the forest in the middle of nowhere. his team will probably have one of these to give you a rescue that it. doesn't get a shot right now yeah. i am afraid i have hurt myself i just pray something like. i think a lot. taking a lot of it. is always a bit of commotion when you do like an action movement especially with gadgets and i think i might have hurt myself a little bit. like here we got the shot put my finger on the mount. a nobody got time for that yet of people make.

her. lose. her year too. yes but you know it was this is a little bit rougher of windsor little bit. so i would think things are busy things are good it's been a bit here. like the best part so for me to get a meeting a fellow correspondent i love that part what do you think so far has been the most like difficult part the most challenging for you being an american i feel like i have to prove myself twice as hard as you would because i'm an american looking british no there's no they get off yeah yeah now i feel like i really do i feel like i work really hard to prove that i miss you guys every day. when what you do do you don't you all do i'm going to have to prove that i'm as

good as you. think are the struggle. i mean it's a private there's a conversation in this sport you know it's true that when i default i watched your coverage of the terrorist attacks on the metro watch them maybe twenty times in moscow. sapir for. actually what i was doing was watching the tape over and over and then i watched lindsey francis take over and over at the suicide i would love her if i think in those sort of stories the best. way the most important thing is that you cannot report about anything that may cause spread panic or distribute the wrong information so if you're not sure about something you should just say different general stuff will show completely sure about. maybe you will repeat it if you need to but you know you feel sad like i have three days after covering a story and i felt i wanted you want more. it's

a bad feeling at the same time because it's a horrible story. still so this is a kid. the bay for right now i have. not voted a flight. see if we don't end up here again. this problem isn't going anywhere it's going to be not that frustrating thing is leaving here with. what essentially feels like a job. at least the plane he. desperately looking for just clean pumps and simply. reach fifty. it's been interesting it's been very busy been very little time said see what's

been going on hasn't been fun for everybody involved a big good story unfortunately we don't get to see the end of this but i think this is the fifth that's the nature of this type of situation is something that isn't going to result we should look to the bio to fight and a peaceful place. to get a plane back to get back home to mum bill's going to pay her rent then it's paris' . small demonstrations of will say welcome to. the show we have a repetition of the gold piece the dressing appropriately for cool. it is pretty much. like you had to say that little.

spend so much time seeing for you to see tearing yourself. he's clearly. her comfortable. lead it was terrible they weren't very hard to take i don't plan to get along here a lot lot has never had sex with the earthquake there are no plans let's play. lists lists lists lists lists lists

subluxation play. live. right close to. her street. and i think the church. on our employers would. instantly.

be in the. now because of the idea of printing out only heads it is the same like something out of stock like but it actually is possible you work with it and you have one of the. prettiest player sleeves in my town but that's in a political thing and so for. a lot of headlines that i'm definitely getting one i definitely want to make now that you were not on the plane ticket but if reality will be good enough but will it like you do i smile do i just go there is. what i do. ok can i do a smile i love let's meet ok. nothing feels as bad as being. by stand out during a rock meet although nothing is touching me so it's an all virtual which is really

interesting. you don't really feel a bit like the guy displaying legislative hokum it seems to me say we can't really have a machine here so what they do is they'll take audits and they can only do it in their factories. so we'll go into the back because that's the point that you know the whole thing and then i will see if i look the way that. people that it may be good. for her for her for her for. small like you why do why this is what it's about minus three minutes of bed we just left. home sweet home. base for a little while anyway to get a quick turnaround it's sheets. today i need to get those bills paid i need to put money into my gym account through my

russian account which i can only do physically. so i have to get that so i just you know keep the things in. life outside of covering stories around the place keep not taking over and then get everything packed but go ahead of the pirates. all the even they want to let you do it you if you want to follow didn't get these guys some of the dues these are added. more a c. or c. . the more a c. because he's a. little quick phonies loud in the. open office at times but deep down you really love him. every time the you know it's. small and whole actually just see. from what we did.

if. i was on telly a lot. yeah as you can see. just away for two weeks. sick sick with sed i'll try them a little spruce and clean around them before. for the first list. on the show every time the touch myself ugly these jeans that fit with the smoke of the. day the it's just from the bar and kids over there in t. shifted their beach. do you feel like it's hard to ask about a person like i feel like a mind like with my with my boyfriend i feel like i'm constantly apologizing for some reason and i don't know why i don't if it's because i don't like have anything left to contribute i feel like my contribution is sorely lacking. from where experienced required to actually have normal relationships with people who are

really romantic relationships because it's really hard to explain to a person why you're being cold at four am you have to go up and go somewhere for two weeks you know a west they work in the industry but that also doesn't usually work oh. yeah so a grilling you did for the wife you have to sniff the tears. but i did go on out of work and now is being held for a. decade. of that. plant my camera man. i can't believe it i can operate this thing called up hold on one better way to get something that is fun to taste and all that you can use with tons of water but also that is eco friendly i mean we live in moscow lots of

cars but nothing beats having something so simple and i'm glad i noticed but i don't know what i'm doing i'm not in a lot of ultimate to do that but. i'm just going back row not i cause i'm not that way wait wait wait. well hold on hold on but. the. bottom line looks like. ok i gotta leave like that. can't get ahead of this thing. because i want one of the. amazing. little touch up here. we have to get the ultimate stand up we have the ultimate

gadget i mean i love not being at a key fast it's all about testing all the gadgets and this one is one of my favorite safelights holding equal mobility i think it's one of those gadgets that anyone not normal person can use running around town getting it errands done and the best thing about it is that it's equal frankly and it looks very. well my god that one nearly killed me i'm like can you not see i'm on a damn thing like move people like this we did it like come on. you just found out that people will die. in that seat so. the higher. level don thought it it's a wrap yeah. it's fast it's cool it's a virgin it's like let's get in they are right it looks like it's

a wrap for us today. miss pretty sell we had done. so we just finished shooting at the picnic and the thing about stories where you don't have control over is that you never know what you're going to. you know when you get that you have an idea of what you want. and you kind of putting a story in your head before that i wrote before i got to the expos thinking oh it's just going to be a gadget i'm just going to be playing around with like new technology how to do that like some quiet old you know smartphones a whatever and then you get there you realize acts. like that so you then you have to set it just the story as you go along because you're picking up different things and you see different things. and then you said kind of molding the story as you go so it's just part of the world we live in you just have to adjust with what you get . it's been

a long day i'm tired and hungry. and i still have to go to work to make sure that all my packages are ready for the next couple of days because i'm not going to be in town and it's a saturday everybody else is going out having a great time and i'm still on the clock and i could just let it go and let somebody else take care of it but then i'm i wake up the next day freaking out about what i see on telly so it's better that i do it because i can have a good night's sleep if i know that everything that i need is well done the way i want. all of the days live all the down and as well as my friend say a workaholic. even though it's only a fleeting visit it is nice to be cool but it's also quite sure to really be cold. for a snowball to push beyond my girlfriend i lose big here it is one of those every step

you teach. hundreds of years of european history of me which literally just crossed from east to which the. just the in the military cemetery in. two thousand and five when it was really kicking off the. getting started so i've been there since the beginning i have seen the channel change a lot and really committed to it's own over those years have been just about everything with the minutes they've give me a chance to really develop as a journalist you know tom says that probably i might not have gotten the child all that it being established for a lot of years so as far as my own development goals it's been well invaluable the time that i spend it on t.v. because they give me the chance to kind of cool all right if you think you can do it's own up to.

it one day oakley little saloon willing to kill. themselves. and. billy is right and italy plates i. think nick didn't give us the full picture of what the media getting greedy does so i've been invited to actually visit one of the standing fantasy in moscow and i want to check it out what they actually do so come with me. do you figure it of me feels any something like this. like a little off that. except it's going to be me.

i'm very much. like it all to thank them small like they've just discovered tabby ought to thank them for the i.q. although just like trying to find ways to raise their like his tools and brush isn't . very clear.

so we're going to let she do the powdering and then i'm going to see the final touch. very exciting to see myself almost like being reborn from like the stand all the way getting into a molding machine and then coming out just as an eye color just will do i'm not expect that we'll see how it looks like after this. and the moment of truth thank you very much sir. so she's petite stylish and smart but enough about me let's talk about her i think they did a fantastic job. from three d. tabby and me to long with a party in moscow so we're going to put this. to

legends of cannibals make many people afraid to travel here are they going to put us on a nine year the europeans have been here for less than a hundred years few people know what secrets lay hidden within these forbidding mountains. they said a bunch of cannibals killed and ate a group of shamans a russian plane one of the biggest in the world flies as a pup when they get these wild mountains for the very first time. villages have never even seen a come on. what will they make of this huge steel but. european workers are told never to venture out alone. truths and myths oh nutty. i know c.n.n. m s n b c and fox news have taken some not slightly but the fact is i admire their commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate. that was funny but it's closer to the truth and might

take. off. because one politicians and the mainstream media work side by side the joke is actually on you. look. at our teen years we have a different approach. because the news of the world just is not this funny i'm not like dammit i'm not. a. joke you guys stick to the jokes we'll handle the stuff about. this immediately though so we leave the baby. by the seat motions to the play your party is it good. for shoes that no one is asking with to get big you deserve answers from. politics.
