Mean fact. Most of the stories all true it is a wonderful story about the. Penalty kick was introduced and we didnt accept that gentleman was actually divert the file so we didnt think the penalty kicks were right and so to go with whole world to defend. If it was awarded to us we would kick with more right now that didnt actually happened. The french president has decided to close the press office out there leaves a palace journalists have been stationed there for decades but now theyll be moved to another site officially its been done for operational reasons but some say perhaps its just to keep the media away from the president. He explains. This is been the base of frances president ial press school for decades but the doors are about to close on journalists tenure appeal ysaye kalus president mccall decided to break away with a press room inside here is a palace basically get away from the seat of power for now its sort of putting them somewhere remote they will have to ask for appointments every time they want to speak to someone it is keeping them at a distance and thats exactly what i meant by for walks since his election last may mock consolation ship with the press has been strained hes cherry picked the journalists who can cover his trips outraging multiple media groups he refused to give the traditional bastille day News Conference as its claimed his thoughts too complex and has suggested that journalists are too interested in themselves some say this move is another way of controlling the press pressure media furious on the devaney furious because there were some form of course during the Electoral Campaign the president ial campaign so. They now realize that its not because you make friends with a politician im complaining that theyre going to treat you well afterwards. But while many in the french media are accusing the president of giving them the Cold Shoulder perhaps it shouldnt come as a surprise. To me if. Not maybe you should take. The story up all about me but for one thing that. As all tea knows too well might call has already bought some Media Outlets from the elites say when youre in accordance emanuel micron organizes a briefing off camera or just before his trip to cali. He sent invitations to all the media when i arrived there i discovered that i wasnt on the list of accredited media and they said im not a journalist and that i had to leave so what impact does that have on your ability to do your job in manual mode emanuel macro wants to pass a law against fake news theyre refusing to accredit certain media you know the result is you block has access to directly or thats the real information and sources of information all that awfulness its not as if the president who once famously compared himself to jupiter the roman god is media shy he simply prefers to use social media platforms like this you tube page to make statements. Although it seems not many a watching and it means there are no awkward questions from done journalists to afterwards a Government Spokesperson said moving the press corps from the leaves it was made for poor racial reasons and would give reporters a bigger space in which to work. But many believe the only person who needs more space is much corn and his pilot sized ego so it deepens. Paris. More than a year has passed since the libyan city of sirte was liberated from eisel but locals still fear for their lives the threat of jihadists returning to the area looms large or residents continue waiting for life to return to normal. I. Said they. Just go. Through the big exam if they are a little these are everywhere granted food for in in the complex and actually chandelier is full of completely out to sea and mashed into the ground. And its impressive even though its been destroyed. As you can see here is that the state flag has been drawn on the site this ship. That within the limits of the area is completely destroyed and there is no local or International Assistance for the population there are fears that ice will return to this ere you are again for this and be entrenched in it after the one year war. Came to settle how people were displaced from this area even up to the return the confine the homes because of the must struction there is no house left and sacked especially because of the full planes and all night and afternoon is not always so much return as any moment to say stepson since then has been the center of a stronghold in the city surrounded by mountains and valleys in the knowledge that was always in the. Morn you still to come here on the program on t. V. Including a hollywood stars to show how the senate has been advertising phones that washington says are being used to spy on americans that story in full after the break. The stakes couldnt be higher and its happening in syria the goal of destroying the Islamic State is largely complete now the syrian proxy war is in train the new stage who are the players and what are their aims and what does winning. I played for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside out and. Football isnt only about what happens on the pitch put the final school its about the passion from the fans its the age of the superman each of billionaire owners and spending two hundred twenty million on one player. Its an experience like nothing else i want to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy a great one more chance for. The base this minute. Good to have you with us today the u. N. Assistance mission in afghanistan has released its annual report saying the country has seen a year high in civilian casualties during twenty seventeen report also raises the alarm over the intervention of progovernment forces and foreign troops in the country i must emphasize that two thousand and seventeen was the fourth Consecutive Year where the mission recorded more than ten thousand civilian casualties progovernment forces which include Afghan NationalSecurity ForcesInternational Military forces and progovernment armed groups were responsible for twenty percent of civilian casualties u. S. Forces of been in afghanistan now over sixteen years while over two trillion dollars spent so far last august President Trump unveiled a new strategy for resolving the conflict calling for a fifty percent increase in u. S. Troops but for many afghans the human cost of the war has become simply too much to bear. Islamic state militants came here the government then dropped off a leaflet to warn us so we fled our village and then the americans were martyred and destroyed these houses we demand the government help us the three villages who were killed did not belong to i saw all the taliban they were in their houses during the bombardment a man by a woman and their son was killed in that insolent. We were on our way villagers said the u. S. Forces were coming here then we continue our trip towards a Central District here in this time they bombed us there were eleven of us and vehicle on the i survived theater ten people including my parents in cousin were all killed. We spoke to author and activist David Swanson and he told us that negotiation rather than force is the only way out of the graveyard of empires. These are civilian deaths that are absolutely unnecessary in a war initiated by the United States at a time when the taliban was willing to negotiate just as its now up peeling to the us public the taliban for all its hideous flaws and crimes is absolutely right to try to reach the us public the question is whether we can find the Media Outlets including this one that can manage to reach the u. S. Public with that proposal and whether the u. S. Public can have any sway over their socalled representatives here in washington thats the big question you know but the white house has made very clear that it does not want to listen the taliban doesnt represent the people of afghanistan and who need to find a solution to the taliban but they will find that solution more quickly when the u. S. Stops exacerbating the problem. Hollywood star scott it is your hudson apparently didnt know what she was getting into when advertising a chinese made mobile phone Us Intelligence chiefs and warning that handsets produced by chinese manufacturers are clued in giant who are way off spying on americans. It provides the capacity to maliciously modify or steal information and it provides the capacity to conduct undetected espionage raise your hand if you would recommend that private american citizens use wall way or products or services. Not of your generation thank you for that the brands that men should do during the hearing are about some of the biggest names in mobile Communications Worldwide to ease market share of the company in eighth place globally while who are way makes the top three but ironically only last week a conversation between two f. B. I. Officials was leaked in which they pointed out American Company apples tendency to spy on users and we discuss the issue with Tech Consultant tom cheese right anythings possible in trumps america we just dont know but given the size of the trading relationship between the two i think theyd have to be very cautious about damaging that seriously Electronics One of the of the biggest markets going back and forth intellectual property and this huge contractual tire to speak chinese manufacturers an American Network providers so it would be incredibly difficult to translate the sort of statements into legal restrictions its certainly ironic that theyre putting so much effort into you blocking the entry of these companies into the u. S. Markets without making a bit in available because as we know the one place where there is great evidence of spying activity happening here is largely driven by the u. S. Government we know that actually ironically they try to insert software into huawei devices to spy on people that way so its a difficult situation maybe they have evidence they dont want to share for security reasons but right now the one part you have evidence is not people is the people who are complaining about huawei. Underwater warfare isnt just about who has the best submarines source or about who has the best navy seals and not just the humanoids. Is out international this program returns at the top of the hour. About your sudden passing ive only just learned you were a south and taken your last to bang turn. Your attitude up to you as we all knew it would i tell you im sorry but only i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. I remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. But then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was again still some marshawn to feel those that didnt like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this one quite different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. Claimed that Mainstream Media has met its maker. And is Getting International recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos remember wolf it was dismissive to do you like a million leases and my compass appears to be going out to the saudi holiday or theyre all shot here without a job or they shouldnt be the only palestinians who gets the most hopeless jerusalem counterpart i dont think this is about those who endure the local version of them not only could do this. But i know it is unfair advantage to have this lady of the mossad which they are i dont know going to continue me doesnt seem to do more in the middle sauced dont get results. Welcome to sophie and Sophie Shevardnadze as the new powers rise in the world a new multipolar global balance is shaping up but is stable enough to prevent a great power conflict in a nuclear age or hear secretary of defense William Perry. Without the cold war era as two centers of power the world has become leaderless and chaotic and as a threat of nuclear war grows higher accidents a lot of tension is building between missions vying for power. For and to prevent the global order from collapsing Nuclear Weapons continue to service deter and will delete completable catastrophe. Dr William Perry its really great to have you on our program one more time thank you sir always good to be here lots to talk about dr perry so nato expansion to the east actually started during your tenure as defense secretary and you have sad that it was a mistake and it is probably the root cause of the current u. S. Russia confrontation now nato officials insist a ring was and is the number one and russia all of us least sees it as a threat its always been very open and honest about seeing it at the threat was nato getting closer to russias borders do you think there could be a direct conflict is it on the cards i think its very unlikely i think both of our countries recognize that could lead to very Serious Problems and so i think we will see restraint on both the United States and russia so that we dont need a new conflict the danger is not the door leaders will plan a conflict but the fact that our troops are so close together it might be an accident we went blunder into some kind of contact so thats the danger of the situation not the intent on the other side but sometimes events get out of control. Of the leaders. Do you think theres a limit to nato expansion. Why in your opinion does need to need members like macedonia or montenegro does the alliance operate by the principle of the more the better no i dont think so factor you can argue that you dilute the effectiveness of the organization if you get too many countries in it so i think were probably either the end of very nearly in the end of a two expansion and i think definitely nato has abandoned the idea of expanding into ukraine so that is not a realistic idea of ukraine becoming a member and i think thats not in the cards. I want to talk to you a bit about panta gaunts new strategy includes coming up with a low yields Nuclear Weapon for sake of to terence as de put it while low yield serve as a nuclear war unable or instead because its psychologically easier to actually drop below your old mom the people who favor the low yield power to Nuclear Weapons both in the United States and in russia argue that. It actually prevents a Large Nuclear war from start of a imagine is a need to intermediate stage i dont agree with that i dont agree with either the russians or the americans who favor tactical Nuclear Weapons i think a Nuclear Weapon is a Nuclear Weapon and there ought to be a red line in the nonuse of Nuclear Weapons to me the. Well i have strived for eventually getting rid of Nuclear Weapons as long as theyre used i like to see them limited to strategic use. And not consider the tactic used i do not favor weapons that make new Nuclear Weapons easier to use i want to make them harder to use i want to make them impossible to use now use Defense Department is planning for a possible war was the china and russia i mean those are just military planners preparing for eventualities or do you really think that us military wants to fight well i have concerns with that with the doctrine is being evolved today but i do not believe it involves. Initiating a war with either china or russia their rationale which can be questioned but the rationale is that in case either china or russia precipitate a war for the with the United States we should be prepared for it so i see it is a defensive rationale but i think what would be focused on instead is working to prevent that kind of a war from ever happening and thats to do with course as much with diplomacy and political actions as it has to do with military actions. Dr perry last time we spoke youve said a lot of complimentary things about the u. S. Defense secretary chu mattis yeah you know the man personally. Has blamed russia for actually trying to stick a wedge between america and its allies and promise to speak to moscow from a position of force i mean the times are really tense right now no need to emphasize on that how wise is it to be so confrontational at these times and also do you think hes maybe trying to be tough at home where he really thinks that he can actually get something out of russia by pressure. I dont interpret masses actions to be meant to be being putting pressure on under russia for concessions i dont see that at all and i think he believes that maybe not correctly but i think he believes that having is a stronger defense posture will make it less likely that we ever have it ever have any confrontation with russia or china or any other country. My own view is that much more deeply hands on diplomacy and political agreements and i think the office space the opportunity for for diplomacy and political agreements between the United States of us is very large today but its not being exploited by either country we have many areas of disagreement with ukraine for example. Crimea for example and i understand why its difficult to have diplomacy to deal with those areas where you fundamentally disagree but there also are many issues which we have in common neither in nine states and russia. Want to nuclear war now the United States or russia want Nuclear Terrorism neither the United States or russia want a Nuclear Proliferation so we have areas where we have strong and important areas where we have important agreements we ought to be working together in those areas its a little fire user which we agree and they come to agreements there so thats a thats a potential theres a force that were not now its exporting so i fault both the russian government and the American Government for not taking advantage of those opportunities and moving in so that we Work Together to good effect of creative diplomacy to make progress in those areas but then there are certain steps that the defense. Department takes i would like you to interpret them for me because maybe im not understanding i think according to the Defense Strategy the Great Power Competition with russia and china is outlined as number one concern for the United States not terrorism anymore and thats a thats a judgment that they make and they stated i dont agree with that but it is i understand where theyre coming from what do you understand where theyre coming from yes they have convinced themselves that. The actions taken by china and russia and in terms of building up their own Nuclear Forces are seen as a threat to the United States. Thats a judgment they make which i dont share but its i dont understand why they do what theyre saying and why they why they think they need to respond that way but is it not is not a difference interpretation of facts its a difference in how you respond to those facts how you interpret the facts i dont see russia as posing a threat to the United States which is the threatening war with united i dont see china as threatening war the United States. And so i start off with a different fundamental assumption about what these facts mean yeah because russians are having a hard time interpret men over the past four years ever since the crisis with russia and the United States began. Us has lost Ground Troops to terrorists in iraq and syria and afghanistan have lost the lives of civilians on the american soil yet not one single russian bullet was shot at an american soldier and for some reason threat for the pentagon comes from moscow i mean what russians dont really get it why. Well. I dont share that view i dont believe its a fact coming from russia today i believe we have to be vigilant about what might happen in the future in russia or china but i dont see a threat today and then theres the head of the british army cern Nicholas Carter and he says that cyber war with russia is a bigger threat to britain their security to British Security than terrorism the terror attacks happened on monthly basis in britain last year i mean what is it all ok under control now no terrorist threat anymore cyber attack is more dangerous scheiber attack is a real problem for all of our countries for russia United States and for britain but the Cyber Attacks can come from terrorism it was from other countries. One of the unique aspects of the cyber threat is that they can come from an individual it can come from a small group and they can come from a nation is not limited like Nuclear Weapons to a large country that has the industrial capacity to build a Nuclear Weapons but i think what makes people nervous is a lot of. Talk about war war war and conflict is so much in the air right now general carter one more time want to far as saying that they may have no choice about conflict with russia i mean is Great Britain and thus medo really going to have a war with russia but is just fear mongering we have today i believe. Positive friendly relationship with russia some people who are imagining what could happen in the future. We ought to be focusing our attention instead of how do we preserve that part of today how do we build on the parts of a relationship theres no reason why the American People and the russian people should be hostile to each other the history of friendship its history of working together during the period i was secretary of defense we actually worked together we had to working together in bosnia we had american and russian soldiers going together on foot patrols in bosnia and it worked very well we also worked together with the with the Russian Nuclear establishment in dismantling Nuclear Weapons during that period of time we dismantled eight thousand Nuclear Weapons four thousand of the United States and four thousand in the former soviet union so we Work Together to the benefit it can be done should be done and i would like to get back to it instead of worrying about what could happen ten years from now what could happen if russia gets tossed out of the United States we should focus instead on how do we continue to build on that positive and cooperative relationship but i wonder why its not happening this is what youre saying is wonderful and i wish you were secretary of defense or head of nato today because times have changed and so unfortunate we always see right now is ramping up its defense expenses in response to a threat from china and russia when russias military budget is seventeen times smaller than American Military budget americas spending more money on its military than the next eight countries taken together what like how can it still feel and secure. I am very sure and with this increasingly hostile Relationship Building up to trying it between the United States and theres my own view is that the cause of it is coming from both nations theres actions and statements made by russia as well as actions statements made by the nice some of them are nice wants to each other we ought to somehow find a way of turning that around so looking at that for that seeing the worst in each sides trying to see the best and. And as i said we have a history of working together partially in cooperate cooperate we know we can do it and id like to see us get back to that and i think its going to take changes in attitudes and changes in statements and changing positions both in the russian government and the American Government for that to happen im not pleased today with the positions taken by other government. Going to take a short break right now when were back well continue talking to dr William Perry a former u. S. Defense secretary talking about russia u. S. Relations and whats going to happen with north korea stay with us. Welcome to max keiser financial survival guide. Looking forward thats midtown. Yanks this is what happens to pensions in britain dont
