And i think when the when the kurds realize that the u. S. Is not with them for the long haul the kurds hopefully can work something out with the Syrian Government which in turn will persuade turkey to. You know to withdraw its forces and and work out work out an accommodation between turkey syria the kurds inroads among the white peachy and work out a peaceful solution to one that i know situation in that part of syria one thing that we know is that the u. S. Has never really been good at keeping their promises to the kurds a messy situation has gotten even met messier Nicholas Davies author of blood on our hands the American Invasion and destruction of iraq certainly interesting to hear your thoughts. All right with just weeks to go until the Winter Olympics in south korea more russian athletes are expecting their dreams of competing to be dashed the International Olympic committee has sent a list of eligible participants to russia and it excludes many athletes who have never failed adopting test. Tensions in the sports world are hitting another high as the i. O. C. Has confirmed that the number of russian athletes that are eligible to compete in the upcoming Winter Olympics is to be reduced now unexpectedly and without explanation now the full list of who is eligible has not yet been released but the russian Olympic Committee has disclosed a number of names that are thought to be who will be disqualified and that decision is ruffling feathers not only in russia but abroad as well a french sports outlet has published a article online condemning the disqualification of two athletes in particular we will not be embarrassed to speak about a denial of justice. And are banned from the olympics because they participated in the sochi games both have undergone hundreds of anti doping controls since two thousand and fourteen and dozens more in recent months control is carried out abroad controls carried out by independent bodies by federations and analyzed throughout europe never in russia the result over the last four years a biathlete has never tested positive. In the is a by athlete who brought a gold home from sochi and he and his team mates. Or leaders of team russia and were both two main hopefuls for winning medals and south korea as well theyre both world champions and in all of their years competing neither has ever tested positive for doping and thats one of the reason the the decision as an injustice the tone of this editorial will not please everyone thats obvious but there are still questions about the integrity of the Decision Makers since when can we condemn innocent sportsmen to punish the guilty is obvious to ban the russians that dont also for the rest know the i was he has promised to publish the full list of eligible athletes on sunday just under two weeks before the start of the games leaving an appeal unlikely and that means the number of russian athletes who are still reeling from the fact that they will not be able to compete under their own flag will now be hit with another blow others said to be excluded from the list are prominent. Players and figure skaters again all of whom have never tested positive for doping and yet they will not be forced to watch the games from the sidelines with forty three other other teammates who have been hit by a benz earlier and another Gold Medalist who is also thought to be excluded speed skater victor on the south korean by birth which means that his dreams of competing in his home country are looking rather dim at this point and while condemnation of the decision has continued to flow in thats unlikely to change the i. O. C. Is mind. Us democrats are demanding an investigation into alleged russian bonds that story still to come international. Tax reform bill next year. Lets be the best possible solution to the. Question in the u. S. You know one of the things we saw in this entire Campaign Leading up to trump selection was very little discussion of the facts nobody said look you know you may be the smartest person in the world in your area of cheating people in the Real Estate Market but when it comes to actually understand economics you have no background i think any you know good economists could possibly have won that election. The press paid attention. Welcome back this is our chief International Live from moscow now the u. S. Governments aid chief says the scale of destruction in the syrian city of raka is almost beyond description however so far washington seems reluctant to pay for the rebuilding of the city which was left in ruins by the u. S. Bombing campaign and hes but ive got to have come to the end justifies the means they say some things no matter how horrible just have to be done. Cool finances they have to be rooted out this is an ugly business but it is necessary business its only when the dust settles and you see what youve done that you start having second thoughts this is when you say. What did i just do. The devastation goes back as far as you can see it is almost beyond description how deep the damage is as many as a thousand strikes a month on record alone just strikes not including hillary and all that more than eighty percent of the city was deemed unfit to be in by the u. N. A city hall but raised so lets start with the obvious incredible work has to be done just to get people back into their homes except we wont pay here is the disclaimer stabilisation not reconstruction the us will help fix the pipes but someone else is going to have to sort out the rest of this mess no sir the Coalition Freed you you do the rest we humanity ariens including the u. N. Do not have access to iraq a city because of the presence of explosive hazard contamination which is endangering people trying to return to iraq a city and its also endangering humanitarian access over two hundred people have died while trying to return to their homes and hundreds more have been injured from our understanding of the reports that we have only a limited number of neighborhoods in iraq a city have been cleared for returns and thats mainly in the outskirts. So who is going to pay to rebuild and then tys city the guys who helped push through it say they wont the civilians returning from tents in refugee camps the Syrian Government which doesnt even control rocca who. Record has been destroyed by us aggression peretz is to liberate iraq of the us aggressors from those who cooperate with the United States we need to restore the record of the syrian cities which has been freed by the syrian arab on me soldiers have already liberates homes there is in the talk here. Top u. S. Democrats are claiming russia is behind an Online Campaign to release a classified republican memo that hes killam up and has more well according to the democrats there is yet another russian conspiracy against the american way of life now this is all regarding the hash tag release the memo there is a memo that has been seen by Top Republican leaders that purportedly had allegedly shows vast misconduct by the f. B. I. In their investigation of trump in russia and possibly spying on donald trump now there has been a huge call on social media for this memo to be released and now the democrats say that this is a kremlin plot and they are calling on facebook and twitter to reveal the role of the russian boxer in allegedly promoting this hash tag release the memo we are witnessing in and doing it by the russian government through kremlin linked social media actress directly acting to intervene and influence our democratic process we urge your companies to immediately take necessary steps to expose and deactivate accounts involved in this influence operation now how do they know that its russia thats to blame for this social media upsurge well all of the citations in their letter is simply media reports that are rather unsubstantiated now whats particularly interesting is that this cash tag release them. Memo it was started by Top Republican leaders who saw the memo called it job dropping were outraged by its content and demanded that the American People be aware of how the f. B. I. Was conducting its work i had that same shock feeling i was like wait a minute this actually happened from our Justice Department and this f. B. I. Thats how serious this is there has been a real attempt to undermine this president that is the type of information that we need all americans to see immediately the American People deserve they must say they want to know whats in this document sadly much of the Mainstream Media will not be covering this today but in this house on this day let us know that indeed we are still one nation under god and willing to protect life now they hash tag release the memo originated with Top Republican leaders concerned about the activities of the f. B. I. And now its been taken up by millions of americans however it looks like the Democratic Party which seems to be quite concerned about the calls to release the memo is falling back on their old canard russia did it. Meanwhile americans on twitter have launched a new hash tag not a russian bot campaigners have been tweeting that they are in fact real people and not working for the kremlin. Are we can boss live the analyst John Griffin John thanks for being with us here on r. T. International so as we just heard american twitter users are objecting to the leasure allegation that the campaign is being driven by russian bots do the democrats have any evidence to back that claim up. No and this is really growing quite tiring will a little green men and conspiracy theories ever cease this is the same party that for the last fifty years engaged in open treason with the soviet union ted kennedy actually in a memo memos get the democrats into trouble actually asked the general secretary at the trial at the time to intervene in the one thousand nine hundred four u. S. Elections to unseat reagan you know Keith Olbermann only only in the last year called on all Foreign Intelligence Services i would assume that includes russia to undo our elections so the democrats have a massive double standard when it comes to election intervention president obama intervened in the ukrainian elections intervened in the israeli elections i mean this is clearly not a party that actually believes in Election Integrity they believe in winning and keeping power and thats a very different issue so lets talk about the memo itself the campaign is all about the House Intelligence Committee memo written by devon nunez who is part of the Trump Transition Team its already been seen by some members of congress is there any good reason why the contents should not be made public public. No no no good Public Interest reason there is definitely i believe evidence of criminal conspiracy in this memo and frankly the people that should be concerned are Hillary Clinton and all the democrats and the d. N. C. That took part in trying to undermine Election Integrity in the United States so there is a good reason why a number of democrats do not want to be seen by the public but for the sake of for the sake of the democratic process in for the sake of openness and transparency we should all see this and in the long run that will be good for everyone concerned what if we look at what the republicans are saying i will representative steve king wrote like hes read the memo its worse than watergate florida representative matt gates says that if we get this memo into the Public Square heads are going to roll up the f. B. I. Pushing back just a little bit i mean there is interest for devon unas to undermine the f. B. I. In this case how serious could this be. Well again the evidence we already have access to actually reveals what we already know it creates the the pretext for reasonable suspicion and frankly we already know and have proven that russia did not hack us vote tallies they did not intervene to at least to the extent that was previously thought in the us elections and the democrats have been engaging in neo mccarthyism its kind of switched the roles here from fifty years ago they were they were taking the fifth because they were being called to the mat for collaborating themselves with the soviet union now theyre actually turning the tables and saying that russia did it every turn its become a little silly its become a little ridiculous this is a broken record we need to actually have a real conversation about the real data in the real facts and not about this fantasy all right very interesting to hear thoughts political analyst john griffin thanks for being with us here on our to international. Are asking where a person is from might be considered normal in most countries but in sweden that const question has become a surprising source of controversy and its at the explains. Well a year from sounds like an innocent enough question doesnt it but it could land you in trouble heres why. To explain that so i first need to tell you about an Online Campaign launched in sweden to help expose racism hash tag no stranger we hope to raise Awareness Regarding the extensive issue of racism that actually does exist in sweden although many want to believe that we live in the worlds most tolerant country they are dearest shakespearean says of being subjected to racism and tens out asking why are you from rep some people up the wrong way even though i was born here people always ask me where im from i hate it when they do that nobody put are you decide where my home is where i come from doesnt concern you and it shouldnt matter i say shouldnt we ever ask people about their country of origin to be on the safe side. Well heres some advice from a man behind the hashtag no stranger campaign you can also question just make sure you do it right its ok to wonder about someones country of origin but it should not be the very first thing to ask a stranger about because the reaction that follows is usually very stereotypical and racist like oh youre from viet nam i think its quite terrible that you guys eat dogs so its name fest originated and no follow up questions got it. I mean does it for me ill be back in about thirty two and a half minutes with a full of chinese watching our two international. Make this manufactured consensus student of public wealth.

Legal warhawks selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the Chicken Hawks forcing you to fight the battles that dont touch the new socks credits tell you that celebrity gossip and tabloid bias files are the most Important News today. Octomom has been telling you are not cool enough and such to buy their product. These are the hawks that we along with our audience will watch. This is boom bust were coming to you from the World Economic forum at russia house in davos switzerland im partial to coming up its not all traditional finance here in davos in fact were going to be talking Digital Currency stand watch plus well discuss c. E. O. Activism in our social media plus a lot more but first lets get headlines on todays business and Financial News with actually banks actually. There on your movie of india became the first indian Prime Minister to address the World Economic forum and davos switzerland on tuesday modi defended corporate globalization while ignoring indias recent terror of so on many high tech imports disappointing some supporters and the Business Press will have more on the modi speech and an interview with one of the indian ministers adele those later in the show. U. B. S. Curve chairman and so weber told outlets that the swiss bank a one it trade or offer bid quints to clients were cited fears that increasing regulation in the Crypto Market would have adverse effect leading to a massive drop and value south korea has been debating whether or not to ban bitcoin exchanges specific business says that handle the buying and selling of Digital Currency fears of Money Laundering and tax evasion were the main concerns and its peak bitcoin was worth more than twenty thousand dollars. Well the launching of making a major gains over the past year crypto currency has managed to grab the eyes of many in the Financial Sector the topic has even managed to make its way to the World Economic forum in davos this week are gay americans barred shelton managed to catch up with Alexander Broderick a big name and blocking were here russia house and doubles and were with alexander to choose the c. E. O. Of universal walk chain and as the name implies youre a block Chain Company youve just done a razor initial Coin Offering tell us about that yeah we are sure we were able to. Crawl out seal called seal thought see you almost thirty million of us dollars unfortunately we gather it all there in mountain cryptocurrency so i cannot tell you for sure how much money it is due to the Exchange Rate of bitcoin in the film avatar days even less or marsh than twenty nine a Million Dollars more than was there enough to cross sale on your website alexander youd say that youve invented smart money tell us about that i think that in the twenty First Century when you have all those in our computer so laptops smart force we should have the digital cache and this digital camera should thatll understand but currently its my money so if you will seal them you wont be able to spend them at the store because they will know for sure that thats actually a big should belong to me and due to the block chain its pretty easy to create such kind of digital cash so in this case we may have like for example Charity Money which you will be able to spend on the for charity we may have their automatic taxation system when that your taxes will be automatically deducted from your accounts properly. Without any news of accountants so in from these some of you we may call them as a smart money and block chain as we know it through bitcoin is fairly slow in the transaction you cant do a bit coin transaction very quickly you know why is that and how does universe are addressed speed i think currently universally is one of the of the fastest book chain in the wall to live the fastest book chain in the world because currently we have twenty sales and for us action per second while there between have just couple of them and they fume have between ten and fifteen ten fifteen compared to twenty thousand and is ether since its traded on a theory and its on block chain is it is thats why the speed is faster than bitcoin i would say that the major difference between you new york and borth bitcoin in the film that they have mining as a procedure to generate the you know to sign the block and we dont have so from this point of view we shouldnt wait until the block will be formed to sign it we are able to sign each and every transaction in the in the block chain so in our case its sands and times faster and if youre a company and youre thinking about making a move to block chain is that an expensive endeavor is that something that you need a lot of capital to do i would this is sole actually the nodes those special severus where the information about the block chain is stored there decentralized and theyre public so its not your infrastructure cost someone else will will pay for that and you will be only by presumption basis so in our case for example the cost of one professional just one sound. So for example in because it seems like you know twenty dollars per person actually currently and which areas of commerce are most easily adapted to what Jane Alexander there are several verity costs of course we think that the block chain will be next in a logical way for almost all in the system will will use it to some extent but from the very very first usage i think you may actually compare the block chain with safe where you have the special key which may open obvious cif and you are storing there your personal information like for example Health Records and this case you would be able to provide them additional keys to the hospital where you would like to be treated and in this case that the doctor will have their full access to information about your Health Records but no one else. Far i think their house in the studio will will definitely use them to supply chains where they have a lot of Different Companies who would like to have such. Technological glue we should make sure of the information across the different systems but to make them available for example as if we have just produce. Whatever the pineapple somewhere and then we actually store in this pineapple the huge ship deliver into the europe from asia and then we went to the Distribution Center so we may store this there are those of each and every product of the blog show so everyone will be able to check the current status of those shipment and how about finance with all with all the banks out there that want to look at watching in finance. It was the actually the first and initial users of the block when the beat corn on the field and was created were created so from this perspective. The financial situations and banks may use their liquidity all of this digital cash as a instant payments across the congress across the borders because in this case are such a system as. For example their way slower and way more expensive so banks will definitely switch to to the Block Chain Solutions as they did for example it was the people if you had to alexander make a decision i know this is a tough one between sort of which will be more valuable either watching all of the block cant companies watching Companies Like universal out there or Digital Currencies sort of capital intensive endeavor block all the Digital Currencies which one do you think holds the longest promise for value i think frosts next couple of years the definitely of the cryptocurrency market will continue to born then but and their end of the day always for the infrastructure competence always been so we will see i think from on the horizon the five to seven the years that all those companies who will build up the next infrastructure products there will definitely when we will we may see if for example Google Google is current of them in the. Hall they would see the from the provider in the internet as a sore was still there and through his own smartphones. But they are i think of themselves as Infrastructure Company im curious how did you get involved in this whole thing doing a nice c. E. O. And being involved in the black jeans im a serial interpreter are but actually a couple of years ago i went to the venture and thats the point of my life and i was one of the most active business angelos in russia i have personal investment through a lot of companies and several of them war in the block chance here like for example shapeshifter kwan and i saw they are growth during the several years and understand that it was. So enormously high so it could not awarded and i decided to jump in and to this new knees and build up my own company here its very exciting is that its absolutely exciting and are you a Digital Currency investor yourself yes of course since to southern fourteen you must be in bitcoin yes at that point of time there was no affair and so actually in that i bought my first bitcoin it was like twenty twenty one hundred sixty years dollars and then during the whole two sudden thought seen the bitcoin went down so i felt like like an idiot what what what what what the why did they such a mistake but at the end of the day currently its above ten thousand the us dollars burglar alexander world its c. E. O. Of universe of block gene thank you for being with us one
