it is why you should. only. ukraine's military has lost one with helicopters with a john you're on board and the army continues to bomb the country's east with shells and rockets and despite mounting casualties among civilian. militaries to remain the big one that still. has the second. leadership in the world it says despite president obama admitting force is not always the solution to the crisis. germany gives up on its investigation into n.s.a. spying saying there's not enough proof ignoring the votes to mount a report into washington snooping on the land.

this is all seem to national coming to life from moscow hello and welcome to the program ukraine's army says one of its helicopters has been shot down during an all out militia operation in the country's east the president confirms the news saying it was carrying fourteen officers under general and there were no survivors. at eleven am local time i went to a police were an explosion had been reported a shell hit a private house its owner an old man was hiding in the basement and survived but you scouse was absolutely destroyed on the way there i saw thick black smoke rising i stopped the car and got out there was a man on the road he told me he'd get seen a helicopter there before now i've heard the report that a helicopter was shot down i tried to go to where the smoke was coming from but the shooting started and then i saw a military plane above maybe it was trying to get

a view of the side of the accident the minute. focus around slovyansk income i thought of course local media claiming the army is using heavy weapons and copper. and i'm terrified bt of the multiple rocket launcher reportedly employed and don't break all the military officials deny that and that's in an area were a number of civilians have already been caught up in the fight say. a residential area has been hit in the latest the timing at least nine people have been injured among them a four year old child. just want to let me. see if. you know what was very you know you might be right just like your. local not.

your student they should or should you watch and also in the same area and artillery show it was thrown into the roof of a school and there was a break between classes at the time it has and no one was injured luckily children and teachers from the school along with a nearby kindergarten had to take cover in a basement. those who ran with the first year children. we heard loud there were very scared. everyone was screaming and we didn't know where to run. it really was this is it my son was crying he had a panic attack it's over all the children are being put through this how could these are the city without making sure there were no children there the regional capital of don't here has been besieged by biami for days in our people say the militarism group is so tired it would be impossible to get out the shelling review point here or out of concern here in the city of donetsk talking to residents many

of them are very fearful that the military operation by the kiev government will resume and resume what force the streets by and large are a lot quieter than they usually are and particularly in the late afternoon when you usually expect to see the outdoor cafes and the parks full with people now they are practically empty there has been pamphlets distributed in some neighborhoods outlining where are the closest bomb shelters and giving people instructions in terms of what to do if they go to the shelters there has as of yet still been no official evacuation but talking to people here in the city many of them are keeping this as an option saying that they are considering possibly going to the city's outskirts should the situation deteriorate now there was a bad scramble at the supermarket earlier in the week particularly after monday's massacre of some one hundred people people earlier in the week worth stocking up with cereals with tinned food with bottles of water there is a curfew there was put in place from yesterday so eight o'clock in the evening

until six o'clock in the morning every day there is now a curfew in place and that is to try and stabilize the situation in the evenings certainly a lot of concern here in the city of donetsk people are afraid. paula is in the very heart of their arrests in eastern ukraine keep up to date with the latest via her twitter feed. now whipping central kiev into shape for the upcoming inauguration of the elected president is not part of the chores of the capital's new mabbitt tally klitschko but apparently this could well prove to be a hard nut to crack regarding who produced the young your party or maybe it's your cousin your words are true or you. were just there for specific concrete what they said to the point that we received were not something we. believe generation you can use it when you also like the rules you do she just doesn't seem to we. were the first that means the storm we used to be able to get

a shot that these. stories see the fact that. we reached the front of the car but there. was never very sparsely we always think of what they only believe that you never see but it is obvious. that anger they protest is apparently a rip in the cell phone from behinds of the mayor elect and he has a photo of days then that's emerged on the internet the heavyweight boxer didn't seem to mind too much though agreeing with protesters that he can just buy himself a new one. america is exceptional and a helping hand to any nation in need president obama made the statement during his latest foreign policy speech where he also admitted that military action may end up a costly mistake and as a gun at a chicago reports the country's past interventions are proving important lessons learned. president obama's message to the world the us

is the one indispensable nation on earth and must intervene wherever it can america must always lead on the world stage. if we don't. know one well it's well. the united states well use military force unilaterally if necessary when our core interests demand it. making some wonder whether the us recognizes other nations right to do the same president obama has named countries which in his view challenge the international law russia china iran told though he spoke persistently about the us the right to use military force unilaterally the us president admitted not every part of them has a military solution just because we have the best hammer does not mean that every problem is a male president obama's major foreign policy address was far from home but because of america's efforts because of american diplomacy and foreign assistance as well as the sacrifices of our military more people live under elected governments today

than at any time in human history washington takes pride in bringing democracy to iraq. and now ukraine. these countries are in chaos. empires typically you know the romans talk about it emperor of divide and rule you know if you could cause chaos you could more easily rule president obama was also speaking to some of his opponents here who say he hasn't intervened in world affairs but his speech indicated that moving forward u.s. foreign policy is going to be as interventionist as ever in washington i'm going to check on our team. and the russian backup from there and he wants a coalition says despite obama proclaiming america's indispensability when it comes to peace the u.s. has bought more violence in the wilds than any other country. president obama again

saying the united states is the indispensable nation i don't know what that makes the other hundred ninety countries in the world i guess they're all dispensable but i think the only way you could really. wreck to reconcile that is if you consider the word indispensable as synonymous with invasive because there's no country that has invaded more countries more other countries in the world that is violating human rights and international law more than has the united states contrary to all of the nice sounding words. came out of president obama's mouth the president also said the u.s. is prepared to act with full swing in line surely if the america comes out and direct threats. and takes three and through that and other points of this speech it has breaking the set program but he is a pretty. every single time you chose to kill human beings with drones it was because americans faced an imminent threat and also somebody sends drones to kill

only when there is a near certainty of no civilian casualties it really means by that if you're simply of military age in the vicinity of a strike well then you're just another dead terrorist not worthy of due process the oft repeated no civilian casualties line gets or more civilians dead are stacked up on the bureau investigative journalism up to five thousand two hundred sixty one people died by way of drones thus far and also according the bureau of investigative journalism the vast majority of drone strikes target domestic homes in pakistan over sixty percent in fact but all this criminal on accountability is ok because of one supreme notion. germany is planning to abandon its investigation into n.s.a. snooping on the country it blames the lack of evidence that it was denied access to

tick tick a documents and witnesses that's despite revelations even chancellor merkel's phone will stopped peaceful on of the hostages. prosecutor is said the reason for this isn't that they can't get the evidence they say that they they can't contact edward snowden thought to speak to him in person this is despite edward snowden having been looking for months for a way to try and speak to german investigators also the fact that well the media doesn't seem to have had any problem finding mr snowden many an interview in newspapers news magazines or on t.v. have all come out with him among some of the documents that were leaked by edward snowden was direct reference by name to the head of the b n d the german secret service that he was more than compliant with the n.s.a. when it came to looking into german citizens it does seem that all of this has been brushed under the carpet now but what this is all left though is those this work in

data protection here in germany a ghast they've greeted this news with the will demand is their own words they say that that the federal prosecutor the federal investigators can cancel this investigation well it reduces their work trying to protect the data of german citizens too well. while german authorities trying to stifle the n.s.a. scandal one of the figures behind the leaks promises new dramatic revelations glenn greenwald if planning to release the names of american spy upon by the national security agency details on that are just a click away at our feet up on. coming up after shoulder break american warships have sailed to libya in shoals as a renegade general of course is going into the cia wagers a war on three fronts and washington denies any was possibility for his the deadly campaign also.

and sung and danced in the streets that he was the only man for the job they said they needed a military leader to take egypt through this very difficult time you see a spike in terror attacks which is negatively affected the economy however there has been some issues of turnouts the last few days the egyptian government has panicked that the turnout might be as little as ten percent they've extended the voting by an extra day which technically bens electoral law the prime minister announced that people might be fined seventy dollars if they didn't vote so this was definitely an issue that they were talking about because egypt is a t.c. needs that's a stumper just to mislead the nation the high turnout would give their approval to his candidacy and also the last ten months of a crackdown on his opponents more than forty thousand people have reportedly been arrested and hundreds killed in the last ten months of the missing brotherhood's say that this is an illegitimate poll and they are boycotting is the elections in addition to other secular youth groups who have come under the crackdown of the security forces they say that sisi will not still live or the freedoms that they demanded in january two thousand and eleven and in fact will just continue

a military rule we'll have to see how the nation goes in the next few months to see how sisi does run the country and whether he delivers the promises of freedoms and also improvement in the economy and security. so. say see egypt's future president let's now have a look as the former head of the army of president mohammed morsi after months of turmoil he also had little regard for supporters and his climb down had led to hundreds of deaths however he maintains a wide support in april he managed to muster eight times the number of signatures needed to register as a kind of the in the presidential election l.c.c. is also banned by the trade unions and to businesses in the country. but our web site is the great traffic. company in charge of the crippled fukushima nuclear power plant is now considering building an underground isobel to stop the radiation from spreading get the details on r.t.

to expand exponentially as the nation's military and police forces remain to be. made to look the same so good at destroying nations but never good at making good democracies. however concern over the chaos has spiked after dissident generals. launched assaults against the libyan parliament and islamic factions some of the worst violence that country has seen since the overthrow of moammar gadhafi and islamic militant group based in benghazi has accused washington of backing dissidents and fueling unrest. while western forces sold their two thousand and eleven bombing campaign as a humanitarian mission some critics say instability was the end goal peaceful you don't steve start work in their use of the function they're actually not. part of

venture out alone. truths and myths see. how long a welcome to the part of the ukrainian crisis is redefining the order in europe and polarising be continent politically and as the old adage goes on the lot there is nothing right down on the ride there is nothing left so where's the middle line in europe well to discuss that i'm now joined by for my finnish prime minister mr ascot thank you very much for being here on worlds apart from london russia have a long and rather mixed history of that history was marked both by bloody conflict and what i would term exemplary corporation and i wonder how do you think the two countries managed to overcome you know that mutual grievances and build these if

not friendly then functional relationship i would describe this relationship as really function. oh yeah we have a long history in the north part of russia eighteen known nine hundred seventeen. but we had. position or status inside russia that made it possible that finland was able to keep its let's say western historical legacy send historical background and to combine a lot of. lot of independent development into there was a war between our kind that that took place with nine hundred thirty nine nine hundred forty four. but after the war i think there's a reason why finland was able to find a new modus vivendi with with the soviet union the reason was

a small country let's say legacy so that small countries never expect that we are going to set the rules. but we have to be able to apply in rapidly changing environment that is not only in politics but it's also in economic field sad and i think it also in the field of security because at least many in this country would attribute that friendly relationship to the need to know an alliance status at finland adopted all those decades ago and i think nowadays if it is somewhat changing because your successor at the post of prime minister is now talking about . possibly considering this issue once again an offender joining nato once again what do you think accounts for this very dramatic shift in thinking about nonaligned. i think is changing environment as well nato has changed as well after the second after the cold war there was a period of time when we expected the. world this has changed and.

nato also had changed unfortunate we have now seen. in some negative development and also in spite of the fact that there are no immediate impact in finland for sure this. let's say change has had impacted in the public debate in. the rhetoric and the public debate infinite on this issue on the latest numbers ship has obviously intensified during the crisis in ukraine and recently there was a poll which found that twenty two percent of finns believe that that country should join nato while the majority obviously believe that it shouldn't and you have politicians keep pressing you had this with this issue i wonder as a former prime minister how much this thing people's opinions public opinion should be taken into account when deciding on something as crucial as your country's security status made to have said certain rules and one rule if you want to join

nato is that you have to have a strong permanent public support for that so it's closely linked to public opinion that's about what your current successor mr sutton and explained his position by saying and i'm quoting here that it cannot be presumed that the public is able to draw conclusions about such a major question because he argued the public doesn't have time or ability to educate itself to extend the petition and if you take such approach i wonder what's the difference between authoritarianism and democracy and is there a space for authoritarian decisions in a democratic society i have not seen that quote but i think that. in finland most of those politicians who are in favor of nato membership are strongly . committed that it has to have popular support as well. in the same way as when finland joined the european union i was prime minister at that time and i

think referendum was critical part of the process now this new thinking about. it is particular not only it but also to your close neighbors with the politicians they're also talking about the possibility of nato membership they just allowed. they allowed access for nato. airplanes to use the swedish airspace in connection with the ukrainian mission and whatever the differences may be between russia and the west i doubt that they would be greater than the differences between the soviet union and the west so why do you think political elites on the scandinavians. have had such a change of heart because i mean it seems to be a transit rather than just a random idea i'm former politician and more. involved in business so i know the following what's going on in the public debate in finland

but for sure. what has happened in the. prices has changed changed. for sure and it has swung back to the public opinion in finland if this crisis cannot be solved. you know. i think it's it's a fact do you think that's only a matter of crimea and russia three taking control of crimea or does it have any preexisting history for example i don't know hostility or mistrust of russia i think mistrust in russia has increased unfortunately because of. these. things what happened on the crimea how would you describe the finnish reaction to that what do you think ordinary sense think about. the reasons why russia had to act in crimea was it because of i don't know senseless aggression and the attempts to restore the soviet union do finns see any logic non-aggressive logic to this decision i think

there are two aspects one is legal aspect. international law aspect and i think most of finns think that russia has. those rules and international law another aspect is this let's say what divisional aspect and i think that. it's something to understand that this historical background is setting certain special circumstances which are different things but i think it's very we are very much legal nation we want to respect legal rules and regulations and that is to tell beijing of finland and mr. you know that there is a long history so you great powers violating international law let's admit that russia is not i mean i understand that this is a controversial decision i think for russia to i mean i think some some could argue

it runs counter to everything that russia stood for previously but isn't there a tendency on the part of great nations to use international law as they please as it suits them i think if i can speak only from their perspective a small nation small nations and their security is always based on rules regulations treaties and and we respect them and we think that this better place to live if iran is going to follow the rules to defect is that when looking back history you are right when looking back history those countries who are let's say big power super powers what ever you want to say. those countries have a bit different kind of approach and that is that is a fact now if you just spoke about this difference between the big countries and the small countries and then once policies towards the soviet union and later on

towards russia have given rise to the term finlandization which is sometimes used to drive or to. yes you know assuming some sort of submission on the part of finland that you know doesn't want to make russia angry and that's why it was keeping to its own alliance status but i think in russia it's very different to me and in russia it is taking not as a sign of submission offended but rather as a sign of respect i wonder if you think that europe could learn anything from finnish relationship that russian you know that henry kissinger for example has used this kind of approach i think it's very important to understand that everything is in politics is context you have to understand the context and i think finland has a very special kind of context people part of russia we were part of sweden our legal system is more or less based on that we have we were part of russia during

that period of time our national institutions were created and then we had this war nine hundred thirty nine nine hundred forty four. and the outcome of the war. created certain kind of special circumstances and i think that in that sense the experience of finland is very very special and you cannot you can follow that but you can learn one lesson i think it's very important lesson that you have to be able to understand this context and you have to be able to understand. how to work when you have different opinions different kind of world views even and you can still work together to find certain kind of peaceful way to do full upgrade and i think that is the message which is very critical now you said that finnish experience experience is very special and you have this nonaligned model has been suggested as a possible solution for ukraine and you know many western politicians rejected

outright saying that russia will continue exercising its political influence over ukraine but i think the finnish experience. shows that a country could be truly nonaligned and neutral because nobody can argue that russia is exercising any sort of political pressure over them and despite the fact that you know on the security issue you are not formally aligned with me do you think the finnish example could be applied to ukraine no i don't believe because of the fact that to train these so complicated case i think you have to understand historical background you have to understand. the many controversies inside ukraine are also this weakness of the politics system. which is a fact when looking back at the last twenty years i think that the. democratic system has not developed extremely well so. i think in that sense it's

a very difficult to say that the brain should follow some kind of model but for sure it's very important for train to create these let's say fundamental. legal structures and democratic structures in order to do to succeed in the future that we're not talking about a democracy of your crane we're talking about the state of a country as a centrally a buffer zone between you know military security blocs i wonder if speaking from this initial experience what are some of the up and down sides to being a buffer zone and could. ukraine given how divisive its history and its current society is benefit from simply being in the middle for for for the time being now i'm changing my mind a bit when i said that you cannot learn anything from finland. you can learn from the case of finland that the primary thing is that the country itself has strong commitment to do things and so strong commitment to take care of its

independence its independent road. not only in politics but going to be killed as well that has been maybe the secrecy of finland especially after the second world war in spite of all difficulties to face we had strong commitment to create a better future. in political field in economic field to every sphere of society saying that's lacking in ukraine yes i do why do you think what's the reason for that i don't know i i i don't know the. history and the society itself but when looking as an external observer what has happened in that country since let's say since one thousand nine hundred one. i have to say that it looks like a mess and it has been a mess. and sees what kind of political direction there has been over

time weaknesses have been there it has been very difficult to see such kind of national commitment to get out of this situation and to create good foundation for them and very quickly i mean this sort of state of mass that you just described is usually at least in western media blamed on. corruptive russian influence do you think that's fair to attribute all your crane's problems to russia no no. well mr i have i have to take a very short break now but when we come back economic codependency has been heralded as the peacekeeper of today's world but can money really buy peace that's coming up in a few moments here on the world apart. these numbers and indexes whether it's the dow jones index or the footsie one hundred

index or some other oil based and they are completely fungible on a month to month basis based on the need. the banking kleptocracy in league with governments of projects and economic tablo. little. rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want.

welcome back to worlds apart we are discussing european security and economic cooperation with the former finnish prime minister ask mr after in the first part of the program the rest talking about the successful relationship that. russia have been able to build and i think much of that relationship is based on economic cooperation because the trade between our two countries is quite an extensive and many political scientists now believe that konami codependency between countries is the best guarantor of security has business become something that essentially taking the place of diplomacy you know something that provides for good neighborly ties better than any political maneuvering i think economy creates independence and

when you have that independence you have also capacity to to understand problems in a different different way so i fully agree the economy and trade is able to create . opportunities for peace and then the other hand the more you trade the more possibility for disagreement here how i mean the most current conflicts around the world they exist between neighbors and i think the conflict kind conflict between russia and ukraine is also one evidence of that yes why not but i think that. it's much more important. what has been created in on the positive side i have to look at look back here history i don't remember any such kind of case that there has been very serious conflict between countries which have extensive economic collaboration making the ties. and even in this case i think that it has

been good to have this economic independence because any weight has. it. open for discussion and. in that sense i think that even in this case going to be. and i think russia is not the soviet union well that's good to hear but while we're still on the topic of ukraine this standoff has been presented in the western media as primarily security issue something that has changed the curia order in europe but for russia at least in the beginning that was. an economic issue primarily because europe objected to. russia's intention to build the so-called ration union it say it thought or some european official officials thought that if russia was to go down that path if me recreate the soviet union or some sort of imperialistic state that would threaten europe do you think that security in this

case may have been used as a cover for economic interest in this fundamental misunderstanding which i believe the case of ukraine connections with the west connections with russia are. let's say contradictory i think they are complimentary and they should be complimentary and that's why if europeans have to learn something they have to understand that for sure it's very important that crane has good relations with russia but in the same way russians have to understand that the brain is connected to the western europe and there are a lot of linkage to sun they have to be able to be developed developed absolutely and i think russians have no problem with that in fact russians themselves would like to trade with europe and to be able to go to the european union and strengthen the into gresh integration between these two entities and i think the russian finnish relationship is actually a very good example of that because your country unlike many others has made it

easier for russians to go there or to do this shopping to do the tourist. in fact in some of the areas offensive and russian currency could be used instead of yours why do you thing finns have gone out of their way to make it easier for russians when other other nations i think also russians have understood quite well when they have to move to finland visiting finland last year we had. we had ten million border crossings seventy percent of them made by russians and i think the russians visiting finland have been able to understand. that. western europe is much the threats and i think really the finnish people also understand that the russian people are probably not a threat for some of the fans it's a good to indication that this is not only trade but also opportunity to travel to meet people to learn to work together is very good tool to create come an

understanding now despite this interlinking of our economies and i believe that there are around ten percent of the finnish exports go to russia and twenty percent of its imports are from russia despite these very extensive links finland joint europe and supporting economic sanctions against russia and this was fairly interesting because again due to the depth of economic ties between our two nations it is likely that those sanctions will hit finland just as hard as they may see russia what are you seeing is. the most thinking here why is it willing to side with the west at the detriment to itself but this is an example of this independence so that we have a lot of connections and dependencies with the european union we are left with is the community where finland acts but in the same time we believe that we are able

to have good relations with russia and that has worked nicely in this case is that this is the beginning of ninety ninety s. they were all. a lot of discussion went in and joined the european union if that is going to work or not it has worked unfortunately now there is a risk that it's not going to to be possible on the long term and i think it's very important that's why that says that we are able to find some kind of political solution to this for now when you were elected prime minister all the way back in ninety nine to one finland was in the midst of a very harsh i wouldn't call it economic crisis but at least recession because we're surprised and passionately here that crisis was due to the very sharp decline in trade with the soviet union and yet somehow you've been able to turn that around do you think that if continues to go ahead with this sanction approach this thing every piece of that may be possible do you think your economy could suffer to such extent as it's used to so sure if the if this situation is getting worse and

sanctions are going to be to be increased affinities there is a risk that finland will suffer more than other countries because of because of that. extensive trade and the investment level we have with russia that's that's a fact but but it's a political issue and and business community is not doing those those decisions and other finnish official the minister for european affairs and trade ministers stuff said that these sanctions were like a nuclear deterrent and that sort of language struck me because you know it's very dramatic when you compare sanctions to possibility of a nuclear war do you think economies this next battlefield the crime battlefield for waging wars is the economy something that people would fight tooth and nail for always it has been the case that economic. factors have been used when there are

political conflicts. because of the fact that this interdependency exist and. and that's why there is an interest to use that as well and. as i said i think there are there is this legal aspect to this let's say international law aspect and that is a political decision makers have to be able to to balance balance those economic decisions and this. let's say international law requirements. and to make calls which are not my role to do its political purposes needed for that russia is often criticized for using its economy where for example it's oil and gas as a political and strength and if we look. at the current discourse it is you're of that is proposing all sorts of sanctions against russia isn't essentially the same i mean if you don't want to russia to use oil and gas as an instrument of political

well why would your of that. go along the same path i'm looking at this completely different way i think that. both europe and russia have had difficulties to understand their strategic interests and understand and communicate very well with each other. and and if you look at the assets on both sides russia has a lot of assets useful for europe western europe and western europe has a lot of assets russia really needs i think it's it's so sad that within the last few years we have not been able to have a good dialogue and to develop the basis of that if i want to say something negative about russia i think that russia is sometimes looking at too much what's going on in the united states and comparing itself to the united states but europe is closer to europe dependency on europe is speaker interest in europe is higher

than it is in europe also looking to the united states for any sort of decision on have. how to develop its relationship with russia because we share these conquered continent obviously we have common security interests and yet whenever the decision needs to be taken and in a larger geopolitical context europe and the united states have to stand together rather than trying to you know develop their own have as i said i think european union has not had very good strategy understanding how to act with russia especially as far as. science technology and economy are concerned that going to strategic understanding has been there and in same way on the russian side as well russia and europe has been looking at what the us is doing. we can do much more together now you just mentioned the failure of the european union to understand russia or russia's failure to maintain this productive dialogue with the european

union but i think again finland is a notable exception here because i think it found its own way of teaming russia a lot of russian people go to finland and in the process there also learning a lot of things about how western democracy is all very you know the respect of the environment the respect of the rule of law i'm sure some you know democratic procedures are also appreciated isn't that interesting how a tiny small country like finland was able to find this soft power approach no mentoring of its giant neighbor but this soft power approach seems to work quite efficient isn't this something that i guess could be adopted in the larger european context in its relations with russia and i think it's it's true that it has worked well but today russian service doing more and more baltic countries and eastern european countries as well. i don't know why maybe that is not working as well as

it works in finland i have no explanation for that but anyway i think that the. the fact that it has been very beneficial for finland that so many russians are coming to finland and i think that russians have been you could benefit from that as well as you said to understand how the democratic system was. how the rule of law will also learn to understand and why mental elements with many many political elements and in this society so i think in that case maybe you can learn something from from diffuse experience but it has been an experience for finland thus well we have developed our capacity to work with russians. we have made some improvements in order to get more russians to visit well mr abbott we have to leave it there but i really appreciate you being on the show and chair of yours please keep the conversation going on twitter you tube and facebook pages and i hope to

see you again same place same time here on of all the hard. places trying to. save people going to thank. you. for. taking everything. oh well. my own life but i.

think it's something all. these cases. sometimes for nothing. is so. it's not just the story will be just if you see a stage eight to be. but each other's. lives. in abortion before this creature looks like a baby. in a career is going pretty well at the moment i've got a lot in tearing partner who understands my situation.

indefinitely isn't the right time. i need something about it. 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 that 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 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 to venture out alone. truths and mess on our city.

ukraine's military says the one with helicopters has been shot down with the general on board as the army continues to bite or the country's east will shells of walkouts despite mounting casualties among civilians. the military's to remain. in all these wes's leadership in the world despite president obama admitting sauce is not always the solution to a price that. germany gives up on its investigation into n.s.a. spying saying there's not enough proof ignoring the vast amounts of reports in the washington snooping on berlin.

and welcome to r.t. international twenty four hour news live from moscow i'm you know our town made story now and ukraine's army says one of its helicopters has been shot down during an all out military operation in the country's east and you're seeing the latest footage from the region right now the acting president confirms the news saying it was carrying fourteen officers including a general and there were no survivors i wouldn't describe the scene. at eleven am local time i went to a police were an explosion had been reported a shell hit a private house its owner an old man was hiding in the basement and survived but you scows was absolutely destroyed on the way there i saw thick black smoke rising i stopped the car and got out there was a man on the road he told me he'd get seen a helicopter there before now i've heard the report that a helicopter was shot down i tried to go to where the smoke was coming from but the

shooting started and then i saw a military plane above maybe it was trying to get a view of the side of the accident so. i heard the sound of a helicopter flying then there was noise like that of a rocket launcher then a blast in mosul smoke earlier this morning i saw a military helicopter flying low over the houses i heard the shooting and it was engaged in with self-defense groups i guess it was shot down when returning to its base. the military crackdown is now focused around. local music claiming be on is easy have the weapons and cover and here's an unverified video of the multiple rocket launcher reportedly employed in the operation and although military officials deny that and that's an area where a number of civilians have already been caught up in the five saying a residential area has been hit in the latest attack at least nine people have been injured among them a four year old child. just what does that mean

a cluster. you know what that was like you know. like you said maybe. because there's local not good but. if they did they should or should you were also in the same area nasser a shell was thrown into the roof of a school and there was a break in between classes at the time but hate and no one was injured the children and teachers from the school along with a nearby kindergarten had to take cover in a basement. we ran with the first year children. we heard loud bangs and just we were very scared. everyone was screaming and we didn't know what to run. it really was this is just my son was crying he had a panic attack it's awful that children are being put through this how could they

sell the city without making sure there were no children there. the regional capital of donetsk has been besieged by the army full days now people say the military is a great place so tight it would be impossible to get out if shouting with humans also has policy to reports. there's a lot of concern here in the city of donetsk talking to residents many of them are very fearful that the military operation by the kiev government will resume and resume with force the streets by and large are a lot quieter than they usually are and particularly in the late afternoon when you usually expect to see the outdoor cafes and the parks full with people now they're practically empty there has been pamphlets distributed in some neighborhoods outlining where are the closest bomb shelters and giving people instructions in terms of what to do if they go to the shelters there has as of yet still been no official evacuation but talking to people here in the city many of them are keeping this as an option saying that they are considering possibly going to the city's outskirts should the situation deteriorate now there was

a mad scramble at the supermarket earlier in the week particularly after monday's massacre of some one hundred people people earlier in the week worse stocking up with cereals with tinned food with bottles of water there is a curfew there was put in place from yesterday so from eight o'clock in the evening until six o'clock in the morning every day there is now a curfew in place and that is to try and stabilize the situation in the evenings certainly a lot of concern here in the city of donetsk people are afraid poor is in the very heart of them dressed in eastern ukraine keep up to date with the latest via her twitter feed. rushing into military action is not always a solution to the problem and may and a costly mistake president obama made this statement during his latest foreign policy speech however. reports it seems the white house couldn't be further from giving up its policy of intervention. president obama's message

to the world the u.s. is the one indispensable nation on earth and must intervene wherever it can america must always lead on the world stage if we don't. no and well it's well. the united states well use military force unilaterally if necessary when our core interests demand it. making some wonder whether the u.s. recognizes other nations right to do the same president obama has named countries which in his view challenge the international law russia china iran told though he spoke persistently about the us the rights to use military force unilaterally the us president admitted not every part of them has a military solution just because we have the best hammer does not mean that every problem is a male president obama's major foreign policy address was far from home because of america's efforts because of american diplomacy and foreign assistance as well as

the sacrifices of our military more people live under elected governments today than at any time in human history washington takes pride in bringing democracy to iraq. and now ukraine. these countries are in chaos. empires typically you know the romans talk about it emperor of divide and rule you know if you can cause chaos you can more easily rule president obama was also speaking to some of his opponents here who say he hasn't intervened in world affairs but his speech indicated that moving forward u.s. foreign policy is going to be as interventionist as ever in washington i'm going to check on our team. and rationed back out from the answer was the coalition says despite the obama proclaiming america's interest and some venice he wants comes to

peace the u.s. has brought more violence to the wilds than any other country. president obama again saying the united states is the indispensable nation i don't know what that makes the other hundred ninety countries in the world i guess they're all dispensable but i think the only way you can really. wreck to reconcile that is if you consider the word indispensable as synonymous with invasive because there's no country that has invaded more countries more other countries in the world that has violated human rights and international law more than has the united states contrary to all of the nice sounding words. came out of president obama's mouth the president also said the u.s. is prepared to with force unilaterally if america content a direct threat i'll see as i've been lost and pick through that and other points of the speech and have breaking the set program but here's a preview. every single time you chose to kill human beings with drones it was

because americans faced an imminent threat and also somebody sends drones to kill only when there is a near certainty of no civilian casualties it really means about that if you're simply of military age in the vicinity of a strike well then you're just another dead terrorist not worthy of due process the oft repeated no civilian casualties line gets or more civilians dead are stacked up your investigative journalism up to five thousand two hundred sixty one people died by way of drones thus far and also according to your investigative journalism the vast majority of drone strikes target domestic homes in pakistan over sixty percent in fact but all this criminal on accountability is ok because of one supreme notion. of. a new economic agreement we're going to ground all that along just common market on

par with soviet era tree has been signed today by the leaders of russia kazakhstan and others he's case of people being has been following the talks behind the howden because our capital astana russian president said these signs agreement has learn valcke a story importance among other things the x. soviet neighbors will now enjoy the free movement of goods capital and services as well as the free movement of people one hundred seventy million people in time and trade is said to accelerate in industries such as energy industry agriculture and trans will know i spoke to david gray from p w c three his reaction to this deal. i'm very positive about the prospects for russia and for the other members of the purchase well i think. if you look at the for example i think the reduction in trade barriers within the e.u. are a significant impact in terms of making it easier to do business which does encourage

investment and i'm looking for to similar results in terms of the ratio now over the last three years trade within the customs union has increased by nearly fifty percent and the group is set to get even bigger with armenia and kyrgyzstan expected to join the union later on in the year it graphically where these countries sit and how close they are will it makes economic sense for them to do business together and this arrangement comes the same of the russians trade with china has accelerated to a historic level of asean shanghai we had the four hundred billion dollars still signed and the president while he spoke of further future deals as well he mentioned a second gas pipeline to china so opening new doors with the east and sitting to dish more times with x. soviet state. coming up after shoulder american warships have so truly been scholz as a renegade global post in the cia wagers

a war on three fronts and washington denies any responsibility for his deadly campaign also. we'll bring you a breathtaking doing chores so you scour it to the international space station and look at what's in store with the new three month crew also that successful. one for . the. economic down in the final. days. and the rest because i. believe everything we told me.

coming along the hall of fame i'm sure my. pleasure to have you with us here on t.v. today i'm researcher. you're watching also a international welcome by germany is planning to abandon its investigation into n.s.a. . snooping on the country and blames a lack of evidence as it was denied access to key documents and witnesses that

despite revelations even chancellor merkel's phone was tapped peter now has the details prosecutors said the reason for this isn't that they can't get the evidence they say that they they can't contact edward snowden thought to speak to him in person this is despite edward snowden having been looking for months for a way to try and speak to german investigators also the fact that well the media doesn't seem to have had any problem finding mr snowden many an interview be it in newspapers news magazines or on t.v. of all come out with him among some of the documents that were leaked by edward snowden was direct reference by name to the head of the b. and d. the german secret service that he was more than compliant with the n.s.a. when it came to looking into german citizens it does seem that all of this has been brushed under the carpet now but what this is all left though is those this work in data protection here in germany a ghast they've greeted this news with the will demand is their own words they say

that that the federal prosecutor the federal investigators can cancel this investigation well it reduces their work trying to protect the data of german citizens too well. and while german authorities trying to stifle the n.s.a. scandal one of the figures behind the leaks promises new dramatic revelations glenn greenwald is planning to release the names of americans spied upon by the national security agency details on that and just a click away at r.t. dot com. and also our website is the great japanese wall company in charge of the crippled fukushima nuclear power plant is now considering building and on the ground ice wall to stop the radiation from spreading get the details. to bahrain is facing some tough words from human rights watch as the guys ation issues

a damning indictment on the country's justice system than one line. your friend posts a photo from of the trade you can't afford college different. the boss repeats the same old joke of course you like. your ex-girlfriend still pens tear jerking poetry keep. norrish. we post only what really matters at r.t. to your facebook you st. egypt's former army general abdel fattah el-sisi is expected to become the country's new president early results suggest he received more than ninety two percent of the vote however turnout was extremely low and the country remains in a political crisis true both now on the fears the new president won't be able to maintain order and deliver on his promises well certainly those voting in support

of general abdul fatah sisi told me at the polling stations where they hold parties and song and dance in the streets he was the only man for the job they said they needed a military leader to take egypt through this very difficult time you see a spike in terror attacks which is negatively affected the economy however there has been some issues of turnouts the last few days the egyptian government has panicked that the turnout might be as little as ten percent they've extended the voting by an extra day which technically bens electoral law the prime minister announced that people might be fined seventy dollars if they didn't vote so this was definitely an issue that they were talking about because egypt is a t.c. needs that's a stumper just to mislead the nation the high turnout would give their approval for his candidacy and also the last ten months of a crackdown on his opponents more than forty thousand people have reportedly been arrested and hundreds killed in the last ten months of the mission brotherhood's say that this is an illegitimate poll and they have boycotted is the elections in addition to other secular youth groups who have come under the crackdown of the

security forces they say that sisi will not deliver the freedoms that they demanded an eleven and in fact will just continue a military rule we'll have to see how the nation goes in the next few months to see how sisi does run the country and whether he delivers the promises of freedoms and also improvement in the economy and security. who is our secy egypt's future president let's not take a look as the former head of the army to lead the ousting of president mohammed morsi after months of turmoil and he also had little regard for his supporters and his squad ghana has led to her. hundreds of deaths however he maintains wind support in april he managed to muster eight times the number of signatures needed to register as a candidate in the presidential elections l.c.c. is also banned by the trade unions and businesses in the country meanwhile neighboring libya is also struggling to come down the post arab spring turmoil the u.s. is urging all of its citizens to leave the country where c.i.

a linked rogue general has launched an uprising gay's the elected government in the arena porton i have the story the united states together with the international community is committed to the libyan people. you have won your revolution three years after the so-called liberation of libya. moving towards libya's coast a warship carrying some one thousand marines and several helicopters ready to evacuate u.s. diplomatic missions on a moment's notice that was a step that was taken to be prepared to protect u.s. personnel and facilities and u.s. installations in north africa the country gravely destabilized allow the militants to expand exponentially as the nation's military and police forces remain too weak they too little say so good at destroying nations but never good at making good

democracies. however concern over the chaos has spiked after dissident general khalifa haftar launched assaults against the libyan parliament and islamic factions some of the worst violence that country has seen since the overthrow of moammar gadhafi and islamic militant group based in benghazi has accused washington of backing dissidents and fueling unrest. while western forces sold their two thousand and eleven bombing campaign as a humanitarian mission some critics say instability was the end goal peaceful you don't state step work in their use of a function are not. my main point is to break up and it is a receiver any kind of missions to have are going to play sole source and worst of all the past three years have shown very few of the democratic reforms that were

promised when western forces celebrated libya's liberation marina poured nine r.t. . but instability only bears also flexing the country's oil markets as anti government forces are blocking access to vital ports that as the so-called new need their oil and gas form opens in london where businessmen are set to discuss the future of the country's and intra economics artists' arafat was there even as rebels in the country have closed down a recently reopened oil court here in london and the twenty fourteen new oil and gas for an has got underway with big businesses discussing investment opportunities all sound a little strange will we caught up earlier with the v.p. of shell in the middle east and north africa to find out why at a time when the country is so unstable still big business see investment at a time when the u.s. state department's asking insistence to leave can you explain why people here are

looking to put money in an investment in their businesses i mean that seems confusing or b you know i've been in this business for. too long and. i've seen so many changes in. politics in the geopolitics of. course cross the whole region that you could cross the world so. what's going on in libya right now should not be a reason for not in good engaging with our colleagues in libya and try to really think about the future and wait until the time is. really suitable to go back and invest in this is about this is about the payoff at the end of the day for the big companies despite the unstable situation there's still money to be made there and that's kind of what. plays a part well as i said it's important for the for libya oil to prosper oil and gas actually to prosper to important to bring capital but most importantly really

technologies and and know how and without creating enabling investment environment that would be really real. let's now take a look at some other world news in breve japan has gone down has been seeing a massive fire on board an oil tanker but exploded over the country's southwest coast seven people have been rescued four of them had suffered severe burns one crew member reportedly of the time his captain is still missing and search is underway a cause government spokesman said because of the blast is unknown. thailand's military has sealed off one of the busiest intersections in the capital behind caulk ahead of a planned and he could protest and wednesday scuffles erupted between security forces and those who defied a military vinyls public gatherings the military station occur on the twenty second of may to stop among some long deadly until government uprising the army it said it

will not hold on to power but wouldn't name the date when you elect. the friesian against the demolition of a social center based in a school has turned violent on the sidelines in a row in this punish his own boss and up to twenty five people were arrested after attacking police vans and setting a rubbish bins on fire the protests were sponsored monday when barcelona's authorities closed a social center that had been occupied by squatters assaulting gays. and so you can't show has successfully docked to the international space station bring with its three new crew members the latest technology on the ice says and we carry a rocket made this particular speed a ride taking only six hours instead of two days transit reports now on what's in store for the isis crew during their half year mission. these days it's easy to lose sight of the fact there's a constant human presence in outer space but it should be moments like this that remind everybody of the heights that we can achieve when we all work together.

this is the expedition up to the international space station led by commander maxim sariah from russia and he's joined by flight engineers reed wiseman from the united states and alexander gerth from germany while up there they're going to be conducting three space walks and experiments experiments running a wide range for example ones with obvious commercial potential for example working with fishing trawlers to locate new fishing grounds also conducting more technical and scientific experiments like the effects of electro magnetic levitation on different materials and the effects of his zero gravity environment on certain cells of viruses and bacteria. and next and bring it on in find like i've been walking is of all seen the latest edition of news to.

remember back to in the n.d.a. was fresh and new you know on the very last day of two thousand and eleven when obama who pledged to veto the bill signed into law anyways yeah that's the thing that document that allows the government to instantly detain people link to quote terrorism i've heard all sorts of opinions on how that language got into the bill ranging from conspiracies like obama's evil to apologetics like well the bill was really long in that language came out kind of vague regardless of how or why that abducted with no trial language got in there and it is flagrantly unconstitutional so house or present it's adam smith and justin amash recently put forward an amendment to fix this little oversight note this tiny amendment would only fix the

infant attention issue and nothing else but even then when push came to shove and when congress was given the chance to just change that little bit of the n.d.a. about infant attention they shut it down two hundred thirty eight two hundred eighty two so what does this mean well it means that either they have zero concept of what the constitution means and even it's looseness to their potations or they really like having the power to make certain people disappear to mr facilities but that's just my opinion. the a. nice today and signs of martyrdom are worse as a pastry i am afraid maybe. those words where i'm delivering to all seasons

in the evening are a game of saying about what if scenarios see the grim souls we. are in space a little too much and some other. worry. this is our senior national coming to live from moscow with me marina welcome to the program now calls from 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

eyes of what seems anyway in the eyes of the european union in the eyes of the united states the world to get m.t.v. but whether they've come out and schooled these guys and said no everybody be peaceful they've all gone. to you. hello hello hello let's now cross live to correspond the author oliver who's following closely developments there peter do 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 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 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 that they not spaying much attention to that they don't really want to see this any kind of trees one of things that we have to see what would be going around the barricades as 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. 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 like groups. to perform some kind of retaliation killing to retaliate for the death. of rice's demonstrators here in kiev so that soci very worrying news and we'll be keeping an eye on not as we get more information although it's ok.

and then not to come to this town that still have to meet and. i don't want that i mean you know russia could go either way it could be very tense all very very. telling people getting to be getting help. that they. have been given up on top. of. the trade. that. month you know what. will come. to the place. like you did you just see people. have to have an. impact

on. the. t.v. set to. make. it clear. it is not liberate. you have ended up in. but 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 it like so many people in the winter.

i'm thinking let's just pull everything one time like. the bad stuff so that it looks like. not that you know what i'm doing a packet so i wanted to make i need someone we can feed that is a science textbook happy because that's my being too big to come down by. love just to get it but it's all. moving down there you can see. here plus just above. the world where technology comes concept they say. it's all about gadgets 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 computing 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 one hundred and i promise you we'll wait forty eight. i read on the way back in march that 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 beer and then i'll just say i'm not sure if you drop the tape of it or whatever i'm facing the bed i'm not up. i'm just say my russian and sure i don't think i'm a writer so such as putting the head 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 be in because that's why it's winter right now in russia and they needed to be this coming to cause

you're writing such a. fantastic thank you sets up you did well if 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 plus 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 have heard myself i just pray something like well i think i might. 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'm at a back myself a little bit. like here we got the shot put my finger on

the mount. me nobody got time for that you got to keep moving. her. lose. her year too. yes but you know it was this is a little bit rough word windsor little bit. so i would think things are busy things are good it's been if you're 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 and british so there's no they get off yeah now i feel like i really do i feel like i work

really hard to prove that i misquote is you guys everything i think that's well what you do do you don't you all do i'm going to have to pull their arms because you. think 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 i watch them maybe twenty times in moscow. to pair for. actually what i was doing was watching the tape over and over and then i watched lindsey friends tape over and over at the suicide i would let her bias well 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. general stuff will show completely sure about. maybe

repeated 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 i mean it's a fact it's a bad feeling at the same time because it's so horrible story. still so this is a kid. but they feel right now i have. not only bought it flight. see if we don't end up here again. this problem isn't going anywhere because of me not the frustrating thing is leaving here with. what a sage he feels like a joke. but he still needs to. desperately looking forward to some clean pants and simply. give me.

it's been interesting it's been very busy very little time 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 that if that's the nature of this type of situation it's something that isn't going to result quickly good look to the bio to fight and a peaceful place. playing back to get back home to mum bill's going to pay her rent then it's paris. some more demonstrations of will say welcome to. the show we have the reputation of the filthy rich the dressing appropriately for cool. it is pretty funny. like you said it

was a little. so much time see for you to see tearing yourself. or your peace for syria. during. the interview. a little later.

led it was a. very hard to take the lead to get along here a lot that sax would that make their lives. a little. bit.

live. these numbers and indexes whether it's the dow jones index or the one hundred index or some other oil based and they are completely fungible on a month to month basis based on the needs of the banking kleptocracy in league with jackets and economic. continues to. sanction a close. to such. situation these. are going to be increased. there is a risk in the. other countries because of because of the. extensive.

investment we have. good lumber jury was able to build a new most sophisticated. fortunately doesn't sound anything too much mission to teach music creation why it should care about humans in. this is why you should care only. that's going to be ideal painting. it just seems like something out of god but it actually is possible you work but. you have one of the.

most. chaotic one that i'm definitely getting the one to take not a. note on the fine thanks. if you tell me get back and let me know what you do wife smile though i suppose there is what i did. ok can i do a smile on the let's meet ok. nothing feels as besides being get by get out during iraq. although nothing is touching me say that all virtual which is really interesting. you don't really feel a b.s.c. like a guy like me 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 on it and they can only do it in their factory so will go into the back because that's the full point and that's

all you know the whole thing and then i will see if i look the way i look at. people that may be good. for her or for her. small i.q. weatherwise this is what it's about minus three am and it's a lot better we just left. home sweet home. for a little while anyway to get a quick turnaround. today i need to get those bills paid i need to put money into much of an account from my russian account which i can only do physically. just so i have to get that so i just you know keep the things of. life outside of covering stories around the place keep the ticking over and then get everything packed but. kind of the parish.

all the even those. pledges that you get you know that you want to follow didn't have these guys you know this is these are adults they leave. or c. or c. . more a c. because he's a. little quicker than he's allowed in the quite open office at times but deep down you really love him. every tell you that of the. will and will actually just see. the output report from what we did. if. i was on telly a lot. yeah as you can see. just away for two weeks in. sick. i'll try them a little spruce and clean around before. before the hearth with

a lot of show every time i catch myself. like these jeans that fit with the smoke of the. it just did from the bar and kids over there in. there beach do you feel like it's hard to ask about a person like i feel like i'm mine 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 called at four am you have to go up and go somewhere for two weeks yeah you know a west they work in the industry with that also doesn't usually work oh. yeah

so it's really good for the wife you have to choose the tears. and i didn't go on out of work and now. oh plenty. probably. my camera man. because. i can operate this thing. one by the way to get something that is subtle sul that you can use to transport it 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 never spell it the way i'm not a lot of them i got to do that but. if you are growing up i come up that way wait wait wait. well hold on hold on.

but it was kind of look like. ok i gotta leave it like that. ok i'm getting ahead of this thing. because i want one of the. makes a. little touch up here. we have to get the ultimate set up we have the ultimate gadget i mean i love not being a 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 one of those gadgets that anyone not normal person can use running around town getting it haven't done and the first 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 i guess we did it like come on. he just found out that the woman will die. in that heat so. they love it don sewed it it's a wrap yeah. it's fast it's cool it's urgent it's like let's get in they all right it looks like it's a red one today i. misread you so we had done. so we just finished shooting the picnic and. the thing about stories where you don't have control over is that you never know what you're going to get when you get there 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 expose thinking i was just going to be a gadget some skin to be playing around with like new technology how to do that like some cool i phones all you know smartphones or whatever and then you get there you realize that it is still like that 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 holding 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 lie all the time as well as my friends say a workaholic. even though it's only a fleeting visit home it is nice to be cold and it's also quite search the house really be cold cold or was no. wish to be my girlfriend i just look 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 and the military. still ahead with two thousand and five when it was really taking off and all getting stuck so i thought since the beginning i have seen the channel change

a lot of really. over the us he is. just about everything with the minutes they give me a chance to really develop as a journalist you know tom says that probably i might not have gotten the channel 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 all because they give me the chance to kind of cool all right if you think you can do it go on up to. acme. get. it one day awfully close up the saloon willing to. see themselves. and then.

all. is right. in that place was. thinking thinking it didn't give a. so the full picture of what three days getting greedy does so i've been invited to actually visit one of the standing centers in moscow and i want to check it out what they actually do so come with me. do you figure it out me he is going to have something like this. like a little. except it's going to be me.

quote. very much. at all to thank the small life they've just discovered to be the artefact and the i.q. ologist like trying to find a way to automate he said like his tools and brushes a. very close. loaf . so we're going to let she do the puttering and then i'm going to see the final touch. very exciting to see myself almost like the leave on from like the stand always getting into a molding machine and then coming just as an eye challenges will do i'm a nod to the fact that we'll see how it looks like after this.

and the moment of truth thank you very much sir. so she's the team's stylish and small. but enough about me let's talk about her i think they did a fantastic job. so from three d. tabby and me to along with a body in moscow we're going to put this. one time an abortion before this creature looks like maybe. my career is going pretty

ukraine's military says one always helicopters has been shot down with the general on board and the army printing news for a bunch of the countries east of the shuttles and rockets despite mounting casualties among civilians. gathers its regional allies together to set up a new center of economic power the treasury the biggest ever end of post soviet space . germany gives up on its investigation into n.s.a. spying saying there's not enough proof ignoring the vast amounts of reports into washington's snooping on.

this is all seeing to national coming to a line from moscow hello and welcome to the program. ukraine's army says one of its helicopters has been shot down during an all out militia operation in the country's east you're seeing the latest footage from the region the acting president confirmed the news saying it was carrying fourteen officers including a general and there were no survivors i witnessed as described the scene. at eleven am local time i went to a police were an explosion had been reported a shell hit the private house its owner an old man was hiding in the basement and survived but use house was absolutely destroyed on the way there i saw think black smoke rising i stopped the car and got out there was a man on the road he told me he'd get seen a helicopter there before now i've heard the report that a helicopter was shot down i tried to go to where the smoke was coming from but the shooting started and then i saw a military plane above maybe it was trying to get

a view of the side of the accident. i heard the sound of a helicopter flying then there was noise like that of a rocket launcher and it was lost in mosul smoke earlier this morning i saw a military helicopter flying low over the houses i heard the shooting around it was in gauge deal with self-defense groups i guess it was shot down when returning to its base. the military crackdown is now focused around come i thought of local media claiming he's a heavy weapons and. multiple rocket launchers are reportedly employed and they'll peroration open militia officials deny. a residential area has been hit in the latest that time at least nine people have been injured among them a four year old child. just what does that mean yell a class that you know what do you think you know what that was very frankly i don't

think you know i feel like just like you. i think there's a snowball not good but. if you think they should they should you were also in the same area an artillery shell was thrown on to the roof of a school there was a break between classes at the time it heads and no one was injured children and teachers from the school along with a nearby kindergarten had to take cover in a basement. those who ran with the first year children. heard loud bangs just will move very scared. everyone was screaming because we didn't know what to run when you. grew up watching this is you my son was whining that you had a panic attack it's only children are being put through this how could the shell of the city without making sure there were no children there. the original capital of donetsk has been besieged by beyond april day it's now people bass a bit militarist group is so tight it would be impossible to get out of sharing

regimes policy or. there's a lot of concern here in the city of donetsk talking to residents many of them are very fearful that the military operation by the kiev government will resume and resume with force the streets by and large are a lot quieter than they usually are and particularly in the late afternoon when you usually expect to see the outdoor cafes and the parks full with people now they are practically empty there has been pamphlets distributed in some neighborhoods outlining where are the closest bomb shelters and giving people instructions in terms of what to do if they go to the shelters there has as of yet still been no official evacuation but talking to people here in the city many of them are keeping this as an option saying that they are considering possibly going to the city's outskirts should the situation deteriorate now there was a mad scramble at the supermarket earlier in the week particularly off to monday's massacre of some one hundred people people earlier in the week were stocking up

with cereals with tinned food with bottles of water there is a curfew that was put in place from yesterday so from eight o'clock in the evening until six o'clock in the morning every day there is now a curfew in place and that is to try and stabilize the situation in the evenings certainly a lot of concern here in the city of donetsk people are afraid he was one of the leaders of the revolution defending the barricades in central kiev now the such as mayor vitali klitschko is trying to whip k. of bach into shape for the upcoming inauguration of the elected president but it seems this could well prove to be a hard nut to crack of regarding who will produce the young your party or releasing it doesn't show up to its origins or you were. going to school got the guts to do what to do or shoot the football we reached the drop of a cup of tea do you think. it was yesterday. as the new mayor

argues with the crowd parts of central kiev remain paralyzed but according to the activists that's nothing compared to the damage done to the entire country. when your over the years a lot of your want to show just around the world. and perhaps to show their anger the protestors apparently read this cell phone from the hands of the elect and he is that photo of david and that's immersion the internet they have a way boxer didn't seem to mind too much though agreeing with protesters that he can just buy himself a new one. russia has secured another huge economic deal by bringing together some of its neighbors to carraige the largest common market on post soviet territory is hopes the new union will compete with the economic powerhouses of the e.u. and the united states to peel them has been formally in the talks the russian president said the signed agreement has learned

a start importance amongst other things the ex soviet neighbors will now enjoy the free movement of goods capital and services as well as the free movement of people one hundred seventy million people in total and trade is said to accelerate in industries such as energy industry agriculture and trans will know i spoke to david gray from p.w. see the his reaction to this deal. i'm very positive about the prospects for russia and for the other members of the purchase well i think. if you look at the e.u. for example i think the reduction in trade barriers within the e.u. had a significant impact in terms of making it easier to do business which does encourage investment and i'm looking for to similar results in terms of the euro should be now over the last three years trade within the customs union has increased by nearly fifty percent and the group is set to get even bigger with armenia and kyrgyzstan expected to join the union later on in the year it geographically where

these countries sit and how close they are will it makes economic sense for them to do business together and this arrangement comes the same month the russians trade with china has accelerated to a historic level of c. in shanghai we have the four hundred billion dollars i guess still sides and the president while he spoke of further future deals as well he mentions the second gas pipeline to china so opening new doors with the east and ceding to dish more times with x. soviet states american warships have so clearly been sure that as a renegade general reportedly minister the cia wagers of all three fronts and washington denies any responsibility for his deadly campaign also. also bring your breathtaking launches for you scare it to the international space station and

a look at what's in store for the new three man crew after their successful docking on the orbiting platform. germany is planning to abandon its investigation into n.s.a. snooping on the country it blames a lack of evidence as it was denied access to key documents and witnesses that's despite revelations even chancellor merkel's phone was tapped peter all over her city to. the federal prosecutor has said the reason for this isn't that they can't get the evidence they say that they they can't contact edward snowden thought to speak to him in person this is despite edward snowden having been looking for months for a way to try and speak to german investigators also the fact that well the media doesn't seem to have had any problem finding mr snowden many an interview be it in newspapers news magazines or on t.v. have all come out with him among some of the documents that were leaked by edward snowden was direct reference by name to the head of the b n d the german secret

service that he was more than compliant with the n.s.a. when it came to looking into german citizens it does seem that all of this has been brushed under the carpet now but what this is all left though is those this work in data protection here in germany a ghast they've greeted this news with bewilderment is their own words they say that that the federal prosecutor the federal investigators can cancel this investigation well it reduces their work trying to protect the data of german citizens to well. and while driving authorities try to stifle the n.s.a. scandal one of the figures behind the leaks promise is needed for months ago revelations going well it is planning to release the names of americans spied upon by the national security agency details on dot's interest a click away dot com and i'll be back with more news after this short break stay that.

choose your language. call it a killer though if you're going to. choose to consider.

the opinions that degrade. the stories but if you. choose. to. welcome back sanity international egypt's former. sissay is expected to become the country's new president early results suggest he received more than ninety two percent of the vote however turnout was extremely low and the country remains in a political crisis. now on the fear is the new president won't be able to maintain order and enable his promises well certainly those voting in support of general abdul fatah sisi told me at the polling stations where they hold parties and song and dance in the streets he was the only man for the job they said they needed a military leader to take egypt through this very difficult time you see this

fighting terror attacks which is negatively affected the economy however there has been some issues of turnouts in the last few days the egyptian government has panics that the turnout might be as little as ten percent they've extended the voting by an extra day which technically bens electoral law the prime minister announced that people might be fined seventy dollars if they didn't vote so this was definitely an issue that they were talking about because egypt is a t.c. needs that's a stumper just to mislead the nation the high turnout would give their approval for his candidacy and also the last ten months of a crackdown on his opponents more than forty thousand people have reportedly been arrested and hundreds killed in the last ten months of the missing brotherhood's saying that this is an intimate poll and they have boycotted is the elections in addition to other secular youth groups who have come under the crackdown of the security forces they say that sisi will not deliver the freedoms that they demanded in january two thousand and eleven and in fact will just continue a military rule we'll have to see how the nation goes in the next few months to see

how sisi does run the country and whether he delivers the promises of freedoms and also improvement in the economy and security. and neighboring leiber is also struggling to calm down the post arab spring turmoil the u.s. is urging all of its citizens to leave the country where the cia leak rogue channel has launched an uprising against the elected government is marina porton i asked a story. the united states together with the international community is committed to the libyan people. you have won your revolution three years after the so-called liberation of libya. moving towards libya's coast a warship carrying some one thousand marines and several helicopters ready to evacuate u.s. diplomatic missions on a moment's notice that was a step that was taken to be prepared to protect u.s. personnel in facilities and u.s. installations in north africa the country briefly destabilized allow the militants

to expand exponentially as the nation's military and police forces remain complete . major livesay so good at destroying nations but never good at making good democracies. however concern over the chaos has spiked after dissident general khalifa haftar launched assaults against the libyan parliament and islamic factions some of the worst violence that country has seen since the overthrow of moammar gadhafi and islamic militant group based in benghazi has accused washington of backing dissidents and fueling unrest. while western forces sold their two thousand and eleven bombing campaign as a humanitarian mission some critics say instability was the end goal peaceful you don't steve start work in their use of the function they are not. part of the main

point is to break up and it is a receiver any kind of missions to how are you going to raise sole source and worst of all the past three years have shown very few of the democratic reforms that were promised when western forces celebrated libya's liberation marina port nine-a r.t. let's now look at the miniseries a behind the new wave of violence they may be as so. hostile once a close ally of kano. but not for long he defected to the united states with the cia's help for two decades cheney will have to report to the lived within walking distance of the cia's main headquarters it's thought he received training there and became a u.s. citizen he returns to his homeland at the time of the uprising against his old friend and in february this year he already tried to carry out a coup against the new government but failed this month saw

a new talent but now he's supported by air power on the units and a public relations campaign. and stability in libya is also affecting the country's oil markets as antigovernment forces are blocking access to vital ports that as the so-called new leave their oil and gas form opens in london where businessmen are said to discuss the future of the country's energy economics. was there. well even as rebels in the country have closed down a recently reopened oil court here in london and the twenty fourteen new years the oil and gas for and has got underway with big businesses discussing investment opportunities all sound a little strange will we caught up earlier with the v.p. of shell in the middle east and north africa to find out why at a time when the country is so unstable still big business see investment a lot of people will say it's a country still struggling to find its feet with democracy just flooding the

country once going petrodollars aid calls it is a home to think of. my personal experience with libya has been for many many years and really is definitely the move to go forward very very important to have a partnership between major. players with technologies human resources and capital and this is about this is about the payoff at the end of the day for the big companies despite the unstable situation there's still money to be made there and that's kind of what. plays a part. as i said it's important. for libya to prosper. to prosper to important to bring capital most importantly really technologies and know how and without creating a neighboring investment environment that's would be really really difficult.

a costly mistake president obama made this statement during his latest foreign policy speech however as a guy in a church a camera pulls it seems the white house couldn't be farther from giving up its policy of intervention. president obama's message to the world the us is the one indispensable nation on earth and must intervene wherever it can america must always lead on the world stage if we don't. no one else will. the united states well use military force unilaterally if necessary when our core interests demand that. making some wonder whether the us recognizes other nations right to do the same president obama has named countries which in his view challenge to international law russia china iran told though he spoke persistently about the us the right to use military force unilaterally the us president admitted not every part of them has

a military solution just because we have the best hammer does not mean that every problem is a nail president obama's major foreign policy press was far from home both because of america's efforts because of american diplomacy and foreign assistance as well as the sacrifices of our military. more people live under elected governments today than that any time in human history washington takes pride in bringing democracy to iraq. and now ukraine. these countries are in chaos. empires typically the romans talk about the emperor of divide and rule. if you could cause chaos you could more easily rule president obama was also speaking to some of his opponents here who say he hasn't intervened in the wall but fails but his speech indicated that moving

forward u.s. foreign policy is going to be as interventionist as ever in washington i'm going to check on our team. the president also said the u.s. is prepared to with force you know a lot surely if america comes under direct threat well she's i've been most hated. the points of this speech and how breaking the set but here's a preview. every single time you chose to kill human beings with drones it was because americans faced an imminent threat and also somebody sends drones to kill only when there is a near certainty of no civilian casualties it really means by that if you're simply of military age in the vicinity of a strike well then you're just another dead terrorist not worthy of due process the oft repeated no civilian casualties line gets or more civilians dead are stacked up in that bureau investigative journalism up to five thousand two hundred sixty one people died by way of drones thus far and also according to bureau of investigative

journalism the vast majority of drone strikes target domestic homes in pakistan over sixty percent in fact but all of this criminal on accountability is ok because of one supreme notion. of the. let's take a look at some other world news in brief japan's coast guard has been battling a massive fire on board an oil tanker that exploded over the country's southwest coast seven people have been rescued four of them suffered severe burns one crew member reportedly the tongas captain is still missing under searchers on the way a coast guard spokesman said the cause will be left alone. thailand's military has sealed off one of the busiest intersections in the capital bangkok ahead of a planned to coupe protest on wednesday's couples erupted between security forces

on boats who defy the military beyond public gatherings the military staged a crew on the twenty second of may to stop a months long deadly anti-government uprising the army said it will not hold on to power but wouldn't name the date when you liked. the demonstration against the demolition of a social center based in a school that's turned violent for the third night in a row and this punished these have been up to twenty five people were arrested after attacking police vans and setting rubbish bins on fire the process was part of monday when barcelona's authorities closed the social center that had been occupied by school setting. so you can't show how successful adults would be international space station and bring with it three new crew members the latest technology on the i sense and the carrier rocket made this a particularly its pay to ride taking only six hours instead of two days transit

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 nine years 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 a couple of guineas wild mountains for the very first time. villages have never even seen a car. what will they make of this huge steel bird. european workers are told never to venture out alone. truths and myths oh nutsy.

welcome to the kaiser report imax kaiser dravid saying that g.d.p. . renzi you better watch your speed trouble ahead. but you know your economy just started a line of the things on sale. max it's all going higher for italy came sales to boost the talian g.d.p. in boom for budget italy will include prostitution illegal drug sales and the gross domestic product calculation this year a boost for its chronically stagnant economy and prime minister matteo renzi efforts to meet deficit targets ok so adelies going to include cocaine sales and prostitution but this is of course a trend that makes sense given the context the way the economy's been going the past thirty or forty years. and this is going to of course spread to other

economies as well if it does that then of course colombia mexico and afghanistan will be like jump leap up the league tables of global g.d.p. and of course during the financial crisis it is true indeed that the italian mafia did keep liquidity in the global financial system that had seized up there was no liquidity other than their money and mexican drug lord money that's true also the numbers that are used to report the economy whether it's g.d.p. or it's c.p.i. or productivity or unemployment these numbers are fungible all these numbers and indexes whether it's the dow jones index or the puts you one hundred index or some other oil based and they are completely fungible on a month to month basis based on the need of the banking kleptocracy in league with governments to project an economic tablo that accomplishes two goals number

one keep interest rates near zero and number two. looks as if there is a little inflation but the fact is that interest rates at zero. in turn facilitate. cocaine and heroin use in terms of its impact on the economy and that course that spreads to the global geo political situation where. countries like america and up invading afghanistan taking control of the poppy crop which has never been higher which supports the heroin use around the world and then they're going to include that in g.d.p. so they get a ged people who's from the militarization of afghanistan from the heroin use from people strung out on smack from the degradation effects of prostitution and gambling this all contributes to g.d.p. according to this new world paradigm well according to this new world paradigm of how one calculates c.d.p. in fact silvio berlusconi apparently is the number six the biggest economy in the

world by himself with all his bunga bunga it i mean i'm resisting the temptation to take the low road on this asset or i did. you know cocaine is now included in g.d.p. . because. it is remarkable lead destructive to society as a whole when prostitution and drug use and cocaine use are considered and it's all fueled again by this extraordinarily cheap money that comes out of these central banks so when they say it's a victimless crime that the bank of england mark carney keeps rates near zero well it feels heroine and the prostitution that and that and they in the codification of this in the indexes and statistics that the say the office of national statistics are in the u.k. is as responsible for the deaths and destruction perpetrated by this economy as

any other element so any way you know italy is competing against the u.s. which has the u.s. dollar and wall street and that is by many measures all fraud and they get to count that in their g.d.p. numbers london we have all the laundering of money into the house prices from crooks and thieves around the world gets a lot. under their money here so in a way it's fair enough that italy gets to count this in their figures but also you know it also shows the hoax that is any government statistics all the paper money of as we know is embedded with grains and granule of cocaine something like over ninety five percent of all the paper money has coke traces of cocaine than h.s.b.c. the bank in the u.k. relies extraordinary on laundering cocaine money they were busted for laundering the mexican this mean they're going to repeal the. b.c. no longer have to pay the fine for laundering mexican drug money because now they're considering drug use as part of the g.d.p. so it'll be another bailout for a just basic exactly so let's go back to what i was going to say about the hoax

that is the government statistics because when z. thirty nine is committed to narrowing italy's deficit to two point six percent of g.d.p. this year a task that's easier if output is boosted by portions of the underground economy that previously went uncounted even if the impact is hard to quantify it's obvious that it will have a positive effect on g.d.p. says seppi dieter on so therefore renzi will have a greater margin this year to spend without breaching the deficit limit quote to borrow another arts area of debts in italy ours zooming higher just like the debts in the u.k. i've never been higher they're close to two trillion pounds out of the national government the deficit is relatively flat but the indebtedness of the country is now a continuation of george osborne assaf added five hundred billion pounds in debt since coming to office same thing with united states the debt has reached over seventeen trillion dollars approaching eighteen trillion dollars so to make that debt number look less scary you say well as a percentage of g.d.p. it's not so bad so let's recalculate how we come up with g.d.p.

you know include cocaine and prostitution you put those two in the mix and suddenly g.d.p. is higher so the ratio of debt to g.d.p. is not so bad meanwhile the debt continues to skyrocket if you use the same calculation for debts did. b. that you used twenty years ago and italy and europe and the u.k. then the debt to g.d.p. in the u.k. would be while over one hundred percent in america it would be well over one hundred percent but by statistically trying to make that fact go away you open the door toward continuation of a bifurcation of society interest rate apartheid and basically scapegoating of the poor setting them up for extermination well speaking of prostitutes wall street finds new subprime with one hundred twenty five percent business loans john made us made a fortune selling a mortgage company to do it to bank months before the u.s. housing market collapse now he's found a way to profit from loans to business owners with bad credit from an office near

new york's times square people trained by a veteran of jordan belforest boiler room call truck drivers contractors and florist across the country pitching loans with annual interest rates as high as one hundred twenty five percent when borrowers can't pay nate is this world business lenders seizes their vehicles and assets sometimes sending them into bankruptcy right well why shouldn't the apostles of the wolf of wall street committing fraud learn their trick from oz born cameron pank paulson. obama they've learned how to rape and pillage on a global basis so why not just do it on a small scale recreating all the axis remember bradford and bingley and northern rock there are one hundred twenty one hundred twenty five percent loan to equity that they were putting out there here in the u.k. just before the two thousand and eight two thousand and eight bust so there was no reform there was no attempt to rein in the fraudsters so they've repeated the exact

same fraud again on a much wider scale and the result will be a much bigger crash so that's the best the problem when you have no deterrent for committing financial crimes so in fact wall street banks are helping the industry expand. by lending originators money they're starting to package loans into securities that can be sold to investors just as they did for subprime mortgage lenders now the amount being loaned is more than three billion dollars which is twice the volume of small loans by the small business administration so the government include who it's with perhaps google and goldman sachs who are two of the big players in this field lending money to these belfour at like four firms the subprime where do they get the money from they don't have that comes from the central bank yet that's where the money carney says that they're within the central bank has no responsibility to raise interest rates to rein in the housing bubble is also saying they have no responsibility to reign and drug laundering to reign and this type of fraud mis selling you know all this stuff because it includes on our

g.d.p. exactly how they go in like mark carney who's been so brain damaged pocky pox to his brain by being a goalie there yale university who comes out and says such nonsensical statements to the b.b.c. and there's nobody to give him any kind of pushback whatsoever so what you're saying is a bald faced lie where carney and as a result of your lies you just republicans are so low you're fueling the biggest crime wave of history you need to either commit ceremonial sucker or step down those are your two choices but stop abusing that you could put away that you are what is i say go look at the guy for mad men so all the british women in their big three hundred lives are waddling down sheffield's ways to say what condi couldn't do we should be out there protesting yes but here we have a situation of not only does it get to flatter g.d.p. and therefore the government can borrow more to commit more wars abroad to keep the flow of heroin and cocaine coming but also on the other hand you have

a situation of a smash and grab here they're aiding and abetting a smash and grabbing of the assets of a small and medium sized enterprises across the united states across the united kingdom and the s. i mean these are where all the jobs are so they're destabilizing the economy that's relying on a situation where you. no more illegal activity will have to thrive as the central bankers condone prostitution. they are aiding and abetting it and what they condone it they're saying is good for g.d.p. yes it's good for g.d.p. not apply to their families their daughters and wives yes but let's look at this situation here in the united states so there they have these new subprime business loans and one here is that our industry is absolutely crazy said stephen delgado who left world business lenders last year to become an independent loan broker there's lots of people who have been banned from brokerage there's no license you need to file for is pretty much on regulated but just like with the subprime crisis and all those crimes that happened what happened is goldman sachs j.p.

morgan all the if big too big to fail banks bank of america citi group they were able to claim deniability you know they didn't have any responsibility for the crimes because they didn't actually do all the crimes they lent to these small pop up firms plausible deniability possible deniability teller norse scenario that's right so they outsourced our fraud just like a global banks outsourced our fraud to london london and sort of those fraud to the bank of england the bank of england basically condones prostitution and warmongering and drug use as the g.d.p. boosting element to make the debt of the u.k. look smaller yet all the hair when the cocaine if you put a cocaine down the the mal vertu in trafalgar square in buckingham palace six feet high two feet wide of pure cocaine and you lined up sixty million brits with straws in a. way they store their way from frogger square to buckingham palace with a mountain of cocaine then marconi would say you see i'm making the economy improved. the b.b.c.

would be all over it saying wow that's for us to look at all those strong out heroin addicts in the u.k. that must mean we're dealing with thank you mark carney drug pushing addict well you know we have something to look forward to what imagine even the queen's corgis will be out there. storing coke a healthy g.d.p. and made little baby the little baby royal little bigger oil in the amal store in cocaine hope to g.d.p. hope to g.d.p. baby baby little what does it say george baby george what a loser all right thanks so much i once again for being here stacy get ready for the subprime business loan crisis. and stay tuned for the second half of the show a lot more. big bucks but. we're going to go digital the price is the only

industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open process is critical to our democracy albus. role. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and across several we've been a hydrogen lying handful of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once told us about my job market and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem trying to fix rational debate and a real discussion on the critical issues facing america find a job ready to join the movement then walk away from the big picture. of the. it was terrible

a. very hard to take on. once again here is a plan that life has never had sex with the earthquake here no please. please. please. please. please let the people of the. do you think dad. continues to face sanctions across.

the south right to such. situation is getting. are going to be. suffer more than other countries because of because of the. extensive trade and the investment we have with. yeah mast eyes are this is the kaiser report back here we are trying to go down under and speak with das author of extreme money das welcome back to the kaiser report nice to be with you max write to us you write about titles debt problem where is the problem specifically with governments banks individuals etc. well it's

mainly governments and banks and to a large extent corporations but it's pretty even across the board and the problem in china is i can't really separate the government from the banks or from the corporations because they want a more smash the only thing that's very clear to me is the data levels are now somewhere between two hundred to two fifty percent of g.d.p. and there are four indicator of that stress the first is any country which has increased it to g.d.p. by roughly thirty percent in a five year time horizon tends to have problems the sickening what is we call the credit gap which is the rate of credit increased relative to g.d.p. if that's much higher that tends to create problems china's currently seventy percent is you now need somewhere around six to eight dollars of debt to create one dollar of g.d.p. that ain't good a lot of the debt is now recycling existing assets that ain't good and the debt service ratio in other words the amount of money in terms of g.d.p.

that's going to servicing debt is now twenty percent that ain't good so all in all it's not looking good is the best where to put it but at the moment the chinese have a bit of time on their hands being a pretty closed economy but one senses the did newmont to this crisis as the french would say is coming at some stage and it's in the not too distant future well economic growth in china has to have been by two factors one of course is their ability to finance their growth and this is coming under some constraints another problem is that the growth in china. has caused an ecological holocaust in china so the soil is an unusable all the air is on break the ball this is also a constraint on growth and it's time to their monetary policy in other words make all that free easy available all they've created a ecological holocaust in their cooking under their own stupidity one point is the ecological holocaust in china basically finished their economy because now they're

scrambling madly for food overseas they can't feed themselves and they've backed themselves into a poisonous corner thus well i think there are two issues that you're talking about but they quite interesting one is the ecological disaster is certainly true and if you just extra plate that say a billion people want to have west and living standards in china the actual overload of the environment would be catastrophic the chinese themselves have admitted that and you're quite correct discrete basis constraints on grapes because they have to import food and other things but i think the subtler issue here is the fact that everything they doing is to accelerate growth whether it's dead or environment and that points to a critical thing in chinese politics because the hague in many of the chinese communist party in terms of politico dominance is built around economic growth so they're willing to sacrifice everything to get economic growth and that is also

creating problems in the reform process because as you will no doubt know at the recent plenum and recent announcements from china they're all talking about reform but the problem is the reform inevitably leads to a question about growth so good bacteria ecological issues one of the ways to cut down all the toxic air and i mean the air in beijing is fairly toxic and i have to say twenty years ago when they were burning charcoal thirty years ago when they were burning charcoal it was a much better but the crucial thing here is you turn off a lot of the coal fired. power plants which they keep building but if you do that then there's a huge problem of growth but it's also a huge problem in terms of the fact that these coal mines and the pa generators have borrowed bucket loads of money from chinese banks and delta fold which will have other problems so only in extra could be linked and the question is the chinese gods i don't think have multiple limbs like india gods so i keep all these

bulls in the air at the moment to be honest this struggling well doesn't mention the chinese will do any sacrifice anything for growth isn't this part of the global problem of market fundamentalism that western economies are engaged in a certain form of market jihadism there are extremists in the west down wall street bankers are committing suicide for this cause bankers are killing other bankers for the insurance money we find out now from j.p. morgan others to achieve this growth so in other words it's a suicide mission there's no there's no economic underlying assumptions that make any economic sense these are just fundamentalist suicide bankers doing what they can to kill themselves and their country for what they define as growth which i guess means virgins in heaven or some other crazy philosophy that they pursue but it's not economics das let's be clear about it it's not economics your thoughts. i

think fundamentally you're right this obsession with growth is at the heart of this problem but i don't necessarily agree with you it's a problem of bank is because everybody wants a living sand it's to improve they want more things to buy they want greater prosperity so growth and those two things have gotten linked dela to us your outlook your outline specifically how every single facet of the economies can become finance allies and that they're using but bankers everything is for collateralized debt spawn resolves repack as we've all become financier's there's no underlying economy to the economy it's all debt repackaging as your book explains so in china they do the exact same thing and that's a philosophy of self destruction so explain how that doesn't work with your book that you in your book explain splay zero words max you're right i think you're choking and excitement there but look you're absolutely correct the bank is essentially the dealers which served up the heroin for this whole mess but coming

back to the issue of growth it would have be the environmentalists once remarked that mindless growth is the ideology of a cancer cell and that's the problem we have but there's a second interesting process underlying that which is equally dangerous if you look at the two things you mentioned one is state and the other is the environment they actually have a very common theme which is you enjoy the consumption today you enjoy the grapes today and you defer the problems whether it's of payment or environmental catastrophe down the track and that is fundamentally something that we have actually not only embraced but we keep increasing because if you look at all the strategies the central bank is and everybody else and now following this idea of kicking the can down the road is exactly that so until we actually address this fundamental obsession with growth the fundamental obsession with financial is ation and this fundamental of deferred basic paid and accelerated. a it is not

going to work and but i can't see any consensus anywhere in the world to change that i mean people vote in elections now to perpetuate the system so it's not actually changing fundamentally and i don't know what will make it change i want to talk about one other thing you mentioned which is the debt and how debt relates to china and how much debt they can absorb and is the debt level at a threshold now that would curtail growth etc because it is a question that comes up in other economies it could be the u.k. conny which is the most indebted economy in the world right now japanese economy which is obviously played with debt to two to three times the g.d.p. i want to rector attention to a story that came out last week about how belgian is suddenly taking on hundreds of billions of dollars worth of debt and so my question is is it possible that when the federal reserve engages in their tapering by cutting their quantitative easing by half over the past few months isn't it possible in today's connected world as

you explain your book how all these things are connected that the european central bank can be assisting in america's quantitative easing through their proxy in belgium by simply buying hundreds of billions of dollars of u.s. treasury debt in other words isn't the e.c.b. now simply going to expand their balance sheet the same way the fed has done of these past years so that there is no real tapering the tapering is a canard that's my point and i want to know what you think about that you are absolutely correct that tapering is a canard and let me explain why the tapering is actually unwinding the q.e. which really did nothing for the real economy anyway and if you look at what it was doing it was doing two things the major one it was financing the government and as you know the government deficit in the united states has come down to read about five hundred six hundred billion dollars so they can actually afford to taper they've been pitch says because there's actually less on office so that's number one and number two they were doing it to devalued the u.s. dollar which is a way of gaining competitiveness that also reduces. being the actual wealth

a foreign whole is a treasuries and you're quite correct that over rule when you look at the actual systems we are going to see japan probably do for the quantitative easing down the track and the europeans will not probably to peel quantitative easing but they will actually provide excess liquidity so overall the cup is going to be very very full and the critical thing here is the actual currency wars because the japanese occasionally devalued the u.s. have been trying to devalued and now that you hearing from the europeans that they think the euro is a valid and they want to push it down but the point is that everybody can have the cheapest currency so that tapering is actually more about the currency wars now at but overall the i expect the liquid conditions to stay liquid for the foreseeable future so we are going to see these accommodative conditions for a very very long period of time and the point is as you said to me before it's a ponzi game and you got to keep increasing the actual base because otherwise the

whole ponzi game comes to an end and we're going to see that guy go on how this ends i don't really know because we've never beat him before but i guess like my question is and you're alluding to the answer i just want some clarification there is a possible all or do we see through the dark market or through the shadow banking system some collusion going on between central bankers so that when the federal reserve bank can say we are tapering they are in fact simply passing the buck over to europe or belgian who suddenly bought two hundred billion worth of u.s. treasuries are almost equivalent to something very near their g.d.p. and i mean it's an astronomical amount so do we see some behind the scenes collusion i think that will be answering to the global audience to kind of dwell on this for a second that these banks globally kind of work together to keep this debt burden continuing to grow so terms like taper are completely meaningless thus i think fundamentally if you look at the way the global i could. mixer system is run all

the central bank is meet together at the b i e s very regularly about once a month oh about six weeks a party they have very good wines and the meals are absolutely scrumptious a little bit of our national settlements just to be clear that's right the bank of international settlements so clearly they say things to no minutes a kept it's like a secret cabal basically that meet so whether or not they collude they certainly feel very very very much aware of out of what other people are doing so under this circumstance is the policies perhaps more coordinated than would first appear because obviously they know what each other is thinking and what they doing but i'll give you an. insight into exactly this in a sort of mine away which is in china as you know in china everybody is going on and on about the shadow banking system how dangerous it is and what they have to do about it and you hear the people's bank of china which is the central bank making all these noises about controlling the shadow banking system what the earnest

atalissa among the investment banks they seem to understand is the reason the shadow bank exists is because of the actual structure of the chinese banking system and it's grown up like anything in china we the approval tacit or implied explicit off the chinese central bank and of course the chinese communist party and it's not off there because they're out of time but we will follow up with the shadow banking system in china next time thanks for being on the kaiser report good to be with you max all right that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser stacy herbert of like to thank our guest das author of extreme money if you like the antis tweet us the ties the reports and i stand by.
