Its 1 am here in moscow and youre watching International Live from last year with me. Welcome to the program a newly released report by a conservative watchdog alleges theres a covert multimillion dollar strategy to promote liberal values in the u. S. The document unmasking to push certain topics from supporting obamacare to slamming Donald Trumps border war. Takes a closer look at how it operates. Whats more powerful in politics than money a strong candidate with a good program and idealist would see nothing a realist would say but a politician would say dark money dark money is the millions of dollars that behind the scenes donors are spending to send the political train down the track and according to the left leaning media its a bad bad thing because the conservatives do it because brothers have made billions and want to ensure that government doesnt limit their ability to make more conservative donor david koch as one half of the Koch Brothers came to symbolize the influence of dark money in america but you know whos even better than conservatives that slipping the bills into their protegees pockets. Democrats according to this research a group called Arabella Advisors little feat has been in the vanguard of the leftist money holes they shelter under their umbrella for nonprofit organizations by their nature they do not have to disclose who theyre getting their money from but this Research Suggests that theyve gathered a huge number of very wealthy donors some of the nations largest grant making institutions including the Rockefeller Packard and koch foundations the donors to the funds managed by arabella it remains unclear why such large and powerful institutions seek outside philanthropic consulting but presumably a significant part of our bill is appeal lies in its ability to obscure large Financial Transactions these for nonprofits have been showering and to conservative grassroots organizations with their money take this one with a name so noble calling our goal is to oppose an interim short list yes they get their pockets stuffed by 1633rd an offshoot of our bell advisors another group save my care has been pushing against republican attempts to repeal obamacare the president is sabotaging the system. Will be another uncertainty in health care. Remember this it led to this. We wont forget. Well their financial bad bone is made up by bills coming from a nother arabella advisers sprout the new venture fund the dark money is not a trick exclusively from the democratic playbook yes its been revealed they do outperform the conservatives when it comes to the amount spent by more than 20 percent in fact but pro republican donors. Do that too and according to the Research Media coverage is way out of balance with most outlets reserving a good bashing for the conservatives when you look at the Mainstream Media which has deservedly declining part of a declining viewership both the editorial in the production staff is chiefly in the anchors are chiefly democrats or democrat leaning so of course out of the Mainstream Media youre going to get that narrative reality is the independents and the rising anticorruption anticrime only part voting populace the United States is against the use of dark body is against the use of corruptly having foundations reality is that a lot of money comes in from the unions from particularly from the Public Sector unions to do their favorite politicians both legally and i think illegally but there has been a rise now of dark money and dark money is bad whether its right or left leaning in the public has a right to know each individuals vote counts and that it cant be swamped by the activities of partisan. Groups that are illegally sourcing and donating money so next time you see a nonprofit ban are stirring up a fight for yet another democratic staple remember regardless of what side of the political spectrum would comes from its not just people but billionaires fortunes behind it too. It is a new Coalition Government is said to prosecutors on to the as did former interior minister and. The anti immigration firebrand is accused of conducting a Smear Campaign and inciting violence against a german refugee ship captain correspondent challenge is across the story for us. Well salvini is facing this libel case where hes being accused of inciting violence against a cap in this is a captain of a charity rescue ship in the mediterranean karolyn a racket a german citizen now back in july she had rescued 53 migrants in the mediterranean and tried to dock ship this was the sea what 3 on a tally in soil she was told no you cant do that that was one of the policies that might be any had when he was interior minister of italy and she then continued to try and dock that boat in doing so she actually rammed into a brood control vessel and she was later arrested for that salvini at the time accused of trying to sink that patrol boat and actually accused her of an act of war she was later released then put on the house arrest and later court said that she hadnt done anything illegal or though she does still face charges of helping illegal immigration now salvini during that whole incident discussed it on twitter he said things that the captain was a criminal that she was a delinquent that the poor woman had tried to kill 5 italian soldiers and this is why he is now facing this prosecution but salvini says he stands by everything that he said denounced by a german communist the drive for good immigrants to finance god. Its a model for me ill never give up. Well italys former interior minister former deputy prime minister. Is one of the countrys most popular politicians riding high in the polls mainly due to his anti immigration stance and the fact that he closed ports to Illegal Immigrants while he was in that position now the Current Coalition which is the make up of the 5 Star Movement and the left wing Democratic Party is said to be a coalition thats kind of come together to form something out of nothing and as a result many people intended hooks at that government itself could collapse in the coming months if not the coming years but certainly many people expecting that before italys next scheduled election as a result of that the popularity of materials salvini is seen as being a thaw in the side of the Current Administration so you can imagine that theyre certainly rubbing their hands in glee at any attempts to neutralize material salvini and neutralize that popularity. Washington seems to be improving its relationship with the latin american nation the borders venezuela is launched a socalled humanitarian Outreach Program led by the air force there provides some services to locals but also conducts training for military personnel the move has now seen neighboring venezuela and so called by american bases just months after the u. S. Backed opposition failed to achieve regime change in caracas our Senior Correspondent mark gasnier examines washingtons tactics. The u. S. Military has returned to guyana after many years on a joint military exercise slash humanitarian mission theres nothing quite like a humanitarian mission led by guys who specialize in bombing things its like having a Drug Rehab Center run by drug lords but small details the important thing is that guyana is important to you on a 6 in a strategic location on the north edge of south america and on the caribbean and the look what a coincidence it borders venezuela i mean what are the chances of that the same venezuela that has u. S. Bases all around it here here here here brazil is in tin that its open to hosting a u. S. Military base a mile and israel is like the center of a do nothing of u. S. Bases same venezuela that the u. S. Has threatened repeatedly where it is trying to spark regime change and which it is encircled with guns just in case trump decides to pull the trigger its a regime that frankly could be toppled very quickly by the military or the military. Youd think entirely surrounding nations you dont like might be a bit overkill but its the pressure the psychological pressure that matters the promise is easier when the guys you are negotiating with always have something to fear specifically about their country being burned down if they say the wrong thing and it isnt just venezuela i mean look at iran as no way to check a chewing gum wrapper without hitting the u. S. Marine on the nose which come to think of it they could well use is an excuse to invade iran a few months ago trump even sent more troops to the region just in case they left an empty spot at which iran could through a chewing gum wrapper and china for the faint of heart. One gets the impression that there are more u. S. Troops surrounding china than there are u. S. Troops left in the United States but dont have the map for you for america that isnt enough the us needs to develop alternative operating locations the pentagon will continue to develop new concepts build a distributed resilient force posture and field new capabilities to counter these threats honestly the drug metaphor seems remarkably apt the pentagon recently boasted that it has locations in more than 160 countries have some sort of military presence in 84 percent of the countries on this planet and yet not enough they just need more crave more. Free from the security guards from the private u. S. Military contractor blackwater have had their jail sentence all but hard for their roles in one of the most notorious chapters in the iraq war they were convicted 5 years ago over the deadly shooting of civilians in baghdad in 2007 which left more than a dozen iraqis dead the man had hoped to walk free on a technicality but the judge disagreed. In the United States we hold our armed forces and our contractors accountable for their actions. Justin heard how his sentence reduced the most to 12 years after prosecutors said he was responsible for only 6 of the deaths while even liberty and paul flower found culpable for the majority of those killed their sentences were cut to 14 and 15 years respectively lawyers had appealed to the judge to let the man walk free having already spent 5 years behind bars the original judge jailed the men under rules governing the use of machine guns in a Violent Crime which carries a mandatory 30th sentence but impales court rejected that 2 years ago because the men had used government issued weapons in a war setting in thursdays re sentencing the judge described the former guards as fine young men and praised their characters the massacre of iraqi civilians became one of the most emotionally charged symbols of american abuses in iraq. And i wonder if. There were dead bodies everywhere in the city margarets going to be with you people would see among the dead bodies a murder mystery at the Summer League and 7 years going on. Investigative journalist David Swanson believes the sentences handed down to the guards were too lenient. I do think it is outrageous that the 30 year. Sentence for having a machine gun is tossed out if you got the machine gun from the Us Government what puts the Us Government of both the rule of law in another country halfway around the world and i think its outrageous that another law requiring 10 years for having any kind of gun was tossed out on the basis that this was a war full what made the war legal think the entire war was blatantly illegal why should it having a gun with the in that illegal war legalized having that gun as part of your crime so i mean these are technicalities but they tell a larger story about what we sanction as a culture of their own Space Mission has run into trouble lots to handle after this break. Its a very dangerous illusion to think we can escape the earth for us by terror for the bombs and simple compared and simple to do with Climate Change as compared to making the triple turn from those who dangerous to lose interest in the teeth of the planet be the stupidest people youve got to do the films here. Was a western germany that steve globalization and this came in with trump in 2016 that he the idea of monitor ization the global Central Banks cooperating to put out a currency unit of accounts that was better than gold is a 6070 year experiment that is now collapsing which is leading to dollars a sinners do countries like russia move aggressively away from the dollar and buy gold and deep globalization simultaneously. Welcome back to the Program India has lost connection with the spice procuring an attempted landing on the moons a south pole Mission Control in bangalore lost contact with the during the final stage of its descent if successful would have become the 1st country to land on the main according to the countrys space agency that should check deviated from the target course resulting in a hard landing the 145000000 ton a missile is called john brown to the goal is to conduct a detailed study of the moons makeup including its geology and atmosphere economist William Anderson that despite the setback india is likely to push ahead with the mission until it succeeds. I dont think that we can say or very any time or any time you. Get this far along you had to have had certain successes to be able to get there even if you cant finish. As you know that would something that its this complicated especially this technologically complicated that you can have these kinds of such accidents you know we should be surprised about that its not like this is going to bankrupt india or anything like that i think that they will go back to the drawing board i think that they are. Ultimately theyre going to be successful if they stick with this particular program and other words i dont think theyll be a bad it if they were to just a read it because of this would be one thing then you would say ok the mission has failed but i doubt thats whats going to happen i think that theyve come this far and i believe that they will just try to figure out what went wrong and then fix it. Influential us gun ownership lobby the National Rifle association has been declared a Domestic Terrorist Organization by the city of San Francisco no make has unanimously passed a resolution against that which has 5 and a half 1000000 members and claims to be americas oldest continuously operating Civil Liberties how can i say. The National Rifle association masses has considerable wealth and organizational strength to promote gun ownership and inside gun owners to acts of violence the resolution means the city and county of San Francisco will curb any dealings with the n. R. A. Including through partings politically the n. R. A. Is largely a republican leaning group often francisco is no democratic stronghold other activist groups have found themselves in a similar situation in the u. S. Of late including the left wing anti from movement. Major considerations being given to naming and t. For an organization of terror the group that is called itself and chief the organization that is engaged in anonymous violent terrorism this is an extremely Violent Group should be designated as a terror group that must act to regroup and the list of u. S. Activist groups either declared all monitored as domestic terrorists or extremists has many more names on it the f. B. I. Has a long a view to radical eco an Animal Rights activists is the greatest domestic terrorism threat in the spring an f. B. I. Document revealed it was monitoring border protest groups as extremist organizations another internal f. B. I. Paper described conspiracy theorists as a new domestic terrorism threat as well former Libertarian Party executive director benedict told us that labeling activists as terrorists allows the authorities to stifle political debate. When you label a group a terrorist organization in america and americans are so scared of terrorists here the effect is that chills political speech you should have the right to advocate for something you believe in peacefully of course without the government or any government whether its the San Francisco city council or the United States government calling you a terrorist organization politicians like to use that word they use it as an excuse to vile. Our Civil Liberties used to spy on us and when you start labeling everything a terrorist activity of course just that does do since it ties us to real terrorism. Russias embassy in the United States after russian executive was detained in italy at washingtons request hes been charged with suspected industrial espionage against an American Aviation Company alexander question of is a director at a key russian engine manufacturer is claimed he conspired to steal trade secrets with an italian director at g. E. Aviation both men were arrested in naples in southern italy lets take a look at what exactly the men are accused of conspiring and trying to steal intellectual property belonging to the aviation relating to aircraft engine production the Us Justice Department says caution after hired staff from the company as technical consultants and those employees then allegedly filed a report containing sensitive details like dimia putins head out of the u. S. Over the arrest saying its threatens to worsen relations even further. Practical this is very bad practice it complicates our bilateral relations and im not joking we often see no reason for hostile actions of this kind moreover i have every reason to believe that sometimes these actions are connected with unfair competition including in the Aerospace Industry if there is some kind of criminal activity here but its all Law Enforcement agencies that should cooperate. United states has made similar moves before arresting foreign citizens in a 3rd country the chief Financial Officer of chinese tech giant whale was arrested in canada in december over by an order at washingtons request weve been getting reaction from political analysts about the ramifications of. This is all you see. I see all major powers now. All of the technological superiority in the future will be so we will almost be decisive in major power competition the United States certainly adopts a and america 1st strategy and that are not sounding ministration and it is more interested in seeking and advantages position rather than engaging in Economic Cooperation and the expense of say investment and so on it emphasizes the fact that high tech is a serious problem for the United States for china for russia for every country though because everyone is trying to gain access to every other countrys high tech. And theres a tremendous competition going on and therefore the americans are saying right warning everyone you want prayer price if you in fact steal our secrets but from the american board of view its quite difficult for them to prosecute someone. In a 3rd country or gain access to the person who had been who their cues overstating their high tech secrets of tongue in and out showing thomas all take have been around 30 minutes time with more updates so they stay with us. Resists is a sticker from the water bottle phone in the stomach of a fish the brand is part of the Cocacola Company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that lets tell consumers there are the bad ones there the litter bugs are throwing this away industry should be blamed for all this waste to company has long promised to reuse the plastic. Mailer as soon as school sets for their classes because 60 costly on my end only stay on your hands at a special projects funding you tell the difference. On im your best bet is the end of a footy team but for now the mountains of waste only grow higher. When lawmakers manufacture consent instead of public wealth. When the ruling classes and project themselves. With the financial merry go round to listen we dont want. To ignore middle of the room signals. Going to the real news is really. This is. One of the last important issues if not the most important issue that humanity needs to be talking about. And we had nobody wants to talk about it because everybodys scared to talk about it Everybody Knows that its a you know an emotional issue in such a personal you know subject. And people are. Ared so people just dont talk about it and its sad that. Our species. Survival is really dependent on us addressing this issue and if we can even talk about it if we can even have a conversation about it then. Were in trouble. When i was studying biology at the university of california in san diego i had a bio chemistry professor that one day came into class and told all the students to close their books and said were not going to talk about biochemistry today were going to watch a film about population and i was probably about 20 years old and i remember just being completely devastated by what i learned in that film and i walked across the entire campus talking to my faster about human population and i really decided on that day that i didnt want to contribute to our rapidly growing population and really every environmental issue that we face Ocean Acidification and Climate Change habitat destruction pollution species extinction loss of biodiversity the collapse of ecosystems all of these things are accelerated by our rapidly growing population growing up i never really was planning towards having kids but i think somewhere in my mind i always thought i was going to have kids that i was going to find a wife get married and having kids when i 1st met lonnie she kind of told me that having kids wasnt something that she was really that interested in so no i thought thats fine good not having kids and 10 years later 14 years later you know to me it was one of the best decisions that weve made. No regrets really really happy to be childfree by choice raising a child can be stressful so from from our standpoint i think another one of the possible adds in our relationship we get to spend more time connecting with each other and i think that thats you know for us its really important relationship i dont know necessarily that one relationship or one style of relationship is going to be better than the other because i think theres you know some people that have kids and that is their whole life and that actually brings people closer together but then on the same instance theres people who have kids and it kind of drove drives a wedge between them because they dont get to have that quality time together and thats something which they valued before they had kids and they dont get to have that now so this is tim tim is our 3rd child he was found by my husband in a parking lot he was about 2 pounds skin and bones covered in fleas with a big hole and an abscess in one of his rear legs and so he scooped him up and we took him to the vet and he had emergency surgery he had a really rough 1st 10 weeks on the planet but its been pretty sweet ever sent. Currently you were actually living through the 6th mass extinction of species so we are currently driving species to extinction at a rate thats about a 1000 times faster than the natural background rate of extinction and a lot of people are unaware of this. 5 major mass extinctions obviously the last major mass extinction on the planet was the one that took out the dinosaurs right now were living through what they called the anthropocene an answer to seeing translates to the age of man its where the human impact on our planet is so great that were actually changing the fossil record of our future so you know i try and reduce my Carbon Footprint as much as i can i drive an electric car the house that were sitting in its powered by solar. And thats great and there are more and more people putting up solar panels and buying electric cars and going begin and thats all good for the planet but as long as
