Apparently losing interest in the whole process. Today its now one in the afternoon its 11 am in france thats where were focused on this. Brace for a tense weekend in that country because saturday marks the one Year Anniversary of the Yellow Vests Movement this is whats happening right now in paris an Intense Police presence there this weekend there have been calls online for an illegal gathering on the show. And to block the capitals main road more than 20 metro train stations are going to stay closed this saturday as a precaution rallies are also being planned in dozens of other cities across france as well this weekend despite the large numbers predicted there has been a dip in support for the movement recently. But im brave activists that show up for the regular demonstrations has dropped significantly compared with a year ago organizers hope though that the anniversary is going to bring a renewed interest in the character of life back into them. According to a poll that was out of wednesday more than half of those surveyed still support the yellow vest while 63 percent say they dont want the protests to begin in earnest to get a job to do bands can actually get back in the past 12 months of protest the proper. Process once revolutionary now a catalyst for a few years populist movements in a country where protests is in the blood and over the last year a nation defenseless against the yellow vests paris landmarks of triumph are left defaced and its iconic streets smashed and looted its even left the most jaded well shocked. Mckone had come to power with his own moiety of a french revolution it was one of reform he would not to fall on his sword as others before him by not giving in to protest movements but even he was forced into a treat the primed carbon tax hike was abandoned he opened a state purse to boost low income households mark or even he said he was there kindred spirit. Its been the yellow bus lanes being in favor of higher salaries and the more Effective Parliament than i am yellow. But for many yellow vests those promises were empty a little in a at 1st mccrone didnt give a. Way there were only promises and then he backtracked there was a tax on this but not of the company had the resources to offer it he also promised 100 years extra for people a minimum wage but in the end we realized it was only for those on Social Security the anger continued to spill out onto the streets while some yellow vests were caught up in the violence for the most part to protest his argue their movement had been infiltrated by extremists. Its the radicals who go out for violence its an adrenaline kicks for them it makes them feel good i suppose but there are also people who become violent because they are being attacked by tear gas and police battens so discouraged theyve tried to discredit the movement by showing images of burning trash cans and cars and also to make sure that the rest of the population dont join the movement the police dont understand anything the government owes them money but instead of marching with us they kill the protesters so what the violence made a big impression on me and the police against our guys i have been to every protest in paris and i saw things i should never have seen people were hit in the back for the forces of peace and order they have been left scarred by the pilots there was a police car we had been this image of protesters and that type of fire inside it there the french british men were very very close to use their weapons to get out there was also the out of the 3 of there was a charge of Police Officer so there are there were exhausted and there were there was a counter attack from the money as a protest and though we almost lost one. And according to this police union the problems were compounded from the very top. It was a mess. It was a mess. We had but. We had but did our ship there was an order of the referred to. But leadership implies a program meanwhile for latisha divel the struggle continues but shes also aware the weekly protests may have lost some of their initial impact so how will the universe movement adapt in the future to change the system she says you need to be inside it that it was when i decided to join the local team because if we can find the problem from the outside we should do trim the inside i also invited the other young leicester activists with similar views to do the same if they become a counsellor or a deputy they will be inside the system and we built to change it. What ever your view on the Yellow Vests Movement one thing is indisputable theyve had a profound effect on france over the last year now could be a Pivotal Moment to see if they will continue to burn a torch under the Current Administration this weekend we may find out. R. T. Paris. 5 people have been killed and dozens of others injured during a protest in bolivia according to medics there supporters of ousted president obama rallies claim Security Forces opened fire on a demonstration with live rounds.

That socalled president is usurping our country we want to respect the editor of the news website opera monday believes the new government is trying to exclude the countrys Indigenous People from politics. There is no Indigenous Group at the age in her cabinet i think this is clothing decision says a lot about him in the us and each values and interests sheesh she has some poor us Indigenous People most important. To ever moralities and to his Party Movement to socialism i think the new government to self proclaimed govt is trying to boot the Indigenous People out of the political game because it is necessary to boot ever more out of these out of the game and the Indigenous People back to bite this new government including by the us because Indigenous People of 40 percent of the county and this conservative which have organized it who did know that in order to give step billeted to diss new government they have to boot the Indigenous People protest out of the streets they need to control Indigenous People they need to violate their rights in order to give i repeat. To the new government. A former Us Ambassador to ukraine who is a key witness in the trump impeachment inquiry has said he has no evidence that the president engaged in criminal activity in ukraine memory of on which was questioned during the 2nd open impeachment hearings. Do you have any information regarding the president and i would states excepting any groups now you have any information regarding any criminal activity that the president of the United States has been involved with at all. Now and despite that as kind of open now explains there could be some impeachment fatigue his audience numbers flag in comparison to earlier trump scandals. As impeachment inquiry hearings against donald trump continue on capitol hill the new star witness is marine yvonne of it and she is a former u. S. Ambassador to ukraine who was removed from her post 6 months ago now donald trump definitely does not hold her in high esteem thats what he actually tweeted during her testimony every whim or even though of it when she started off in somalia how did that go then fast forward to ukraine with a new ukrainian president spoke on favorably about her in my 2nd phone call with him it is a u. S. President s absolute right to appoint ambassador has now she testified that she was not part of the biden family scandal regarding natural gas in ukraine and furthermore she was not part of any effort to leak information from ukraine during the 2016 election furthermore she testifies that donald trump is intimidating her and that hes responsible for all the wrongdoing and so is Vladimir Putin well i mean president putin must have been aware that there were concerns in the u. S. About russian meddling in the 2016 elections and what the potential was for russian meddling in the future. You know classic for an Intelligence Officer to try to throw off the scent and you know create an alternative narrative that maybe might get picked up and get some credence yes fitting in the name of the russian president is what you do if you want to catch a headline and the media is keeping up the hype the calm before the impeachment storm washington is bracing for a blockbuster day washington on edge all day for this 2nd day of impeachment hearings it was a story day on capitol hill with the 1st public impeachment hearing of president tonight history on the hill as House Democrats make their case against president an attempt to remove the president of the United States from office now you would think that that would be front Headline News but is the u. S. Public really interested not too much 13000000 americans watched the 1st round of testimony according to the nielsen ratings now thats one in 20 certainly sounds like a lot but compare that to when former f. B. I. Director James Coleman got up to testify about how he was fired by donald trump 20000000 americans watch that thats roughly the same number as tuned in when Brett Kavanaugh was being confirmed as a Supreme Court justice amid Sexual Assault allegations you would expect americans to be glued to their t. V. Screens now there is an actual impeachment inquiry open after all articles of impeachment could be drawn up the senate could be faced with the choice of whether or not to convene an impeachment trial and the stakes are significantly higher but the American Public seems far less interested i wonder how Many Americans know or even care about the key witnesses you never heard of the master youve been a bitch have you ever heard of george cant. Are you watching the trumpet pietschmann inquiry hearings on t. V. Does it interest you at all. Why do you think you are americans are trying to watch the speech because its its a fluke easy yeah sure its fake you know i mean like 23 years since hes come into power if you like that one can fire you for the way its going on and the thing you have. To break here it was more so like you know sensitive to the public and this one is just everybodys either this or theyre so yes it seems that the donald trump is a bad guy a show has been airing from capitol hill for a few seasons already but americans are now yawning and saying havent we seen this episode before. Artsy new york legal and media analyst jennifer damascus says that the drop in interest could actually come in handy for the u. S. Democrats. The American Public i think the public in general is getting bored with some of the narratives that have been pushed against donald trump have been shown to either be completely false or unfounded in facts but there are some important things that have come out one of those i think is the fact that well one for one thing she didnt have any firsthand knowledge of what this is about and she wasnt even in her post for several months and so the fact that she was there was just to showcase her as somebody who could say things that would maybe paint on a trumpet a light i think a lot of this has really been planned i mean after the you know these hearings started out with 45 minutes of the democrats of adam schiff and the democratic attorney being able to question her and again when we hear these questions what is this is just praising her and talking about her heroic life story and her parents after that theyre supposed to be there is theoretically generally a 5 minute recess or a break which turned into 3040 minutes and even if you were as it were turned in at the outset would have just tuned out or become bored with that and but what the democrats in the house have done is completely turn it on turn it on its head they think the public is dumb they think the American People are dumb and so they just keep saying these things theyre making up their own elements of legal facts that are absolutely already solidified within the american justice system. Still ahead the sounds of the city as the clock ticks before you spoke to dominance on social media its ball slushies out of the competition. The world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. Thinks. We are here to ask. You know world a big part of the law and conspiracy its time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. And shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now were watching closely watching the hawks. All over again facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg has taken aim at the chinese social media. Says the danged it still doesnt make any sense so why would he say this. Now it does make sense facebook is eating dust in 2016 zuckerberg tried to buy musical dot l. Y. The predecessor of takes took. Talks collapsed facebook walked away then the chinese bought it and tick tock exploded leaving facebook envious of the numbers that were being pulled in so as would any businessman zuckerberg simmias it why are Services Like whats up are used by protesters and activists everywhere due to strong encryption privacy protections on tick tock the chinese up quickly around the world mentions of these same protests are censored even here in the us. Is that the internet that we want. First off mr putin as theres in hong kong a using telegram to coordinate which is a russian app. Before you Say Something stupid again but serious accusations could it be could take talk really be censoring lip sinking in hong kong the Chinese Government does not request the ticktock tons of content and would not have jurisdiction regardless and stick stock does not operate there to be clear we do not remove videos based on the presence of hong kong brought this content in try to but you try to smear it so now the bugs trying to copy it and yes facebook has launched a virtual kloden of take stock. Now that weve established whats what we can ask ourselves if theres any cause left that zuckerberg wont use to get his hands on more money i dont know if he knows i mean do you think he knows what it looks like to everyone outs the c. E. O. Of facebook complaining about censorship Mr Zuckerberg i will say there are a great Many Americans who i think are deeply concerned that facebook and other Tech Companies are engaged in a pervasive pattern of bias and political censorship in may of 2016 gizmodo reported that facebook and purposely and routinely suppressed conservative stories from trending News Facebook that is purged itself of conservative voices banned the naming of a trump impeachment whistleblower that sold out its community to the highest bidder information that was used by dictators to clamp down on opposite. And he tells us the chinese lip sinking app is a threat to democracy. And despite the delays and false starts britains plowing ahead preparing for life after bracks it the home office is even released an app to help e. U. Citizens to stay in the country but research is a warning that its vulnerable to hackers. The tools we used to typically very easily accessible and require very little technical skill to use it means any type of bad actor could perform this attack sounds to carry out all this the device would already have to be vulnerable privacy activist and Technology Expert bill new tell us more about that the company in question didnt actually find any vulnerabilities and we do not know whether there are particular. Supplication what they did find however was that the correct procedures and safeguards hadnt necessarily been implemented this means that if the phone was already vulnerable in some way the application wouldnt be able to detect this it wouldnt be able to protect users who may be vulnerable theres an element of scare mongering here but potentially the scare mongering isnt such a bad thing because it can plant towards the importance of having certain tests and certain breaka within the development of Certain Applications that have really Sensitive Data you dont get much more sensitive than passport numbers and photo id these are the kinds of pieces of information and data that is if it falls into the role hands it can be used very effectively in order to cite your identity and steal your identity. That said for me you know nail has the next hour to update this saturday hell be here in 35 minutes time. China wants to trade russia wants to trade trump wants to trade the enemies of our conflict in a war because they love war and the same like the opposition parties in america are the war party. Is a tense situation in venezuela is still all over the news the problem in venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been faithfully implemented for inside venezuela things look different were going to announce sanctions against patrol to venezuela associated. Famous will have a son of the moment to. Get out of that political battle so on the path to the path of the moment the focus of the who story is a new nixon called in Henry Kissinger to tell him that it would not be tolerated in latin america. Terms of economic and social system could take hold and therefore the policy would be to make. The chilean economy scream so once an economy of venezuela screed. The western the western mindset is in decline the us is in relative decline china reason is rising europe some people see it as rising over people see this as declining its likely that the sort of western mindset and western culture will decline relative to eastern culture thats probably whats going to happen although you called i think anyone that says that something will or wont happen is pushing it a bit. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy. Let it be an arms race. Spearing Dramatic Development only really. I dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical. To sit down and talk. And this is a boom box broadcasted around the globe covering the world of business and finance and the impact on us all and im pretty im washington has the luck at whats on that today incredible numbers of global debt has risen to 250. 00 trillion dollars and there are 2 countries responsible for more than half of the increase over the past 10 years while breaking down a lot of Tech Companies want to be more than just social media and Search Engines they want to provide checking accounts credit cards and Payment Services these companies trying to game tonight. And vinyl ages the fans had a blockbuster launch this week and present one considering album just as a streaming case is becoming this is their branch of war will join us to talk about how it looks like a history landscape. Today so lets go and die read. And we begin with what you might call a race to the bottom as the u. S. And china have led the way it is surging global debt of over 250. 00 trillion thats trillion with a t dollars when we talk about numbers that high its hard to even fathom but just in the 1st part of this year 7. 5 trillion was added to global debt again just the 1st half of this year and the u. S. And china responsible for 60 percent of that the entire rest of the world more than 140. 00 other countries are responsible for only 40 percent now this is government and private debt in fact according to the institute of International Finance over the past decade global debt has ballooned by more than 70 trillion dollars which again has been driven by both governments and corporations so lets break this down here because were talking about a global debt that is really equivalent to 320 percent again these numbers are so hard to even fathom 320 percent of global Gross Domestic Product how is that sustainable on any level is not sustainable and thats why this rising debt level that has absolutely no signs of slowing down has been flagged by economists as one of the biggest risks for the economy and probably the next breaking point and right now as you point out this is a combination of both Government Debt public debt as well as private debt and the private debt its even more concerning even though Government Debt thats the most attention private nonfinancial day in the u. S. Is at 27 trillion versus public debt is at 19 trillion and the reason why private debt is so much more dangerous is because its more problematic is because public debt has more impact on the economic and the economic landscape sure right now if you look at the past the roaring twentys the japanese boom of the eightys and most recently the u. S. In the early 2000 what did all 3 of those have in common answer huge levels of private debt low relatively low public debt but huge huge unsustainable levels of private debt that kind of just funded the incredible binge and rise yeah theres also been a study in the mouth not just of this borrowing taking place right because its really borrowing money that doesnt exist but as part of this
