I would live news 247 this is r. T. International from whats going on in colorado welcome to the program will bring you up to speed with whats been happening in france 1st the countrys been paralyzed by the biggest strike in years this thursday with workers protesting on mass against the governments plans to overhaul the Pension System transport networks were brought to a standstill and schools and hospitals badly affected as well demonstrations have been held right across the country to bensky has been following the protest in paris. This is against a proposed changes by the french government to the Pension System here in france the idea is that they want a malcolm a number of different systems around 42 different systems into a universal system but people say that i will have a massive impact on their pensions because it will mean that their pensions perhaps could be lower in the future or in fact that they might have to work even longer and not as cool huge fury here. Here plasterer public but i can tell you that the crimes go all the way back more than a closer to god do nor which is where this process was originally due to start off with what was come for many hours has turned to a huge tensions with clashes between the police and the protest as you might be able to hear some of those lost going off behind us thats tear gas thats being thrown into the protesters the taxes have set light to several parts of the streets around me including some of the electric scooters theyve been bringing items to put on to the fire we saw a van. On fire and they got tear gas really coming quite close to us and you might get a sense of it just down that you can see there more tear gas down into the protesters try and move people away from the area so the fire crews can get on with their job which is to try and put out that fire i get you get a sense of some of the damage thats being cool was hit by a shell to hit has been smashed thats something we see quite regularly in the protests another fire taking place across the street actually as a not just that big fire with a big plume of smoke but of course here it really looks like in the last sort of 10 to 15 minutes helen has broken loose weve also been tensions elsewhere in fronts not just here tensions in places like. Other cities across from reality is the people here are angry figures coming in from the prefecture and from the police when the course fronts say that more than 450000 people have taken part in this strike today not just transport workers but teaches Students Health workers plumbers a Fire Fighters and even the Police People are adamant that they want to have their voices heard and it seems like today theyve come out to the streets to make sure thats happening the diversity that one among the other. Protests around france then a giant effigy supposedly of president wearing a crown put on display at the Southern City known protest as there was seen hitting it with sticks as it dangled from a tree the strike action there also saw some sporadic violence demonstrators clashed with police back in the capital weve been speaking to some of those who took part in thursdays protest. But this is not a strike by Railway Employees only but an ashen white strike by all the employees who dont want to have their Pensions Council and dont want to work more while earning less than 3. 00 that they did im 28 years old ive been working for 10 years and as things are its clear to me i wont be able to retire it will be impossible to survive until then nobody cares about our working conditions at all. What were doing is good very good is imposing their will present we want to live and work and earn a decent living the same goes for retirees who should get these in pensions because this affects us all we are the working youth have to work for us for the unemployed and the pensioners it all falls on us and we work poor jobs we want to fight against it. Russia has flatly rejected germanys claims that its not been cooperating with the investigation into the murder of a Georgian National in berlin in august Russian Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov told r. T. On thursday that it appears moscow will again be blamed for a crime that it was not involved in with the story has more if and often are. Relations between moscow and bearly now going drastically downhill germanys unexpected decision to expel 2 Russian Embassy staffers on wednesday has left more scope fuming Angela Merkel complained russia didnt do enough to have ceased tame the investigation into the murder of a Georgia National back in august and now barely says there is real and sufficient indication that russia was behind it i asked russias foreign minister Sergey Lavrov for his response in the city is going over russia and germany have special channels set up to tackle issues such as violations of the law we should use them they said we did not cooperate enough this is groundless some countries today recalled the tragedy of m. H. 17 my dutch counterpart said we didnt do enough then we supplied them with all the necessary information with data from our radars and so on we gave them everything where all the satellite images to us promised nobody answered that we asked them what kind of cooperation they want from us they responded by saying you have to confess you did it that would be corporative if germany wants to follow suit nothing good will come of it but thats not a good way to deal with anyone and with russia in particular is in him 100 was a 40 year old georgia and citizen of chechen origin he was targeted in a berlin park on his way to a mosque with eyewitnesses saying he was shot in the head by a man on a bicycle his murder was then dubbed by the media as scree paul 2. 0 and the victim labeled as a kremlin opponent but who was the victim a right hand men to terrorists during the 2nd chechen war his role was to lead extremist groups in the caucasus and recruit spies and hunger shrill as reported paramilitary korea continued into 2012 when he is said to have assisted at georgian operation against his former comrades considered a terrorist by the russian a thought. Says he was also listed as a potential is the miss rat for some time in germany to now various Media Outlets have published their own conclusions into his death the evidence includes 4 to comparisons and killing partons of a man who had been hiding from interpol and russia and the reporters suggesting the wanted murderer was then hired by moscow of chechnya to do it again the federal investigation in germany is just the beginning now on the merkel says she hopes russia will help german investigators but it seems no matter who was behind it the Embassy Expulsion indicates that the verdict has in fact already been given. R. T. Reporting from europe. Which is updated terms of service says it will now be able to put limits on content thats raising fears that the social media platform could apply socalled shadow bans that effectively means suppressing publicly posted content without the users knowledge that their posts are not visible to followers its an accusation that twitters face before but as it goes dawn of now reports it could become the norm for next year. Twitter is coming out of the shadows remember all these media figures accusing these social platform of sneakily hiding their posts from their followers feeds what big brother hides from us what is referred to as shadow banding may be even more pernicious if youre on the left maybe youre ok with this but if youre not on the left or even if you are and you revere the 1st amendment you should be concerned thats actually been well substantiated vice news which is not a right wing outlet says that this is happening on our own team basis to a lot of folks on the right side of the aisle but almost never people on the left side of the aisle do not know our island people very least thats what i think is that youve got to be balanced house leader Kevin Mccarthy wrote our chairman a letter and said hey this is going on and we think your committee should investigate it and how the twitter boss made a surprise and innocent face saying that oh no no no theyre definitely not going behind anyones backs to quietly hide their opinions twitter undertook no behavior to selectively censor conservative republicans or conservative voices on your platform correct correct. Well apparently all those assurances were just a big pile of nonsense now for those of you not too tech savvy im talking about a thing called shadow banning to the shuttle banned user everything looks just fine they can log into their account follow calm and like even post tweets but crucially their posts are simply not shown in other peoples feeds even if they are subscribed to the user twitter had been adamantly denying that it does this until it slipped this one small change into their constitution we may also remove or refuse to distribute any content on the services ltd strip you should have visibility of any content on the Service Suspended terminate users and reclaim usernames without mobility to you its a case where just a couple of words make all the difference the part about limiting tweet visibility was not in the previous edition of the document here it is nothing of the sort there and one can only wonder why twitter has decided to come clean all of a sudden perhaps because after all the outcry from the users wronged by the platform it simply made no sense in denying it anymore or and maybe because the twitter star fell had previously outright confessed to shadow banning already on hidden camera one. That someone. Dont want to share. Theres even a lawsuit against twitter accusing it of discriminating against conservative voices by your employing its shadow banning tactic. But now that its in the terms of service some users will just have to accept that they are talking to themselves its not so much that twitter or facebook or any other social media platform have influence what they have is the power to promote certain peoples opinion and d. Promote tell of the peoples influence on twitter that is the critical thing and what we need to do is have a fair platform we need to have a free and open discourse and we need to allow everybody to have a similar right to say what theyve got to say i dont agree with absolutely everything that he said on twitter not even the conservative stuff that were talking about but actually it shouldnt be for these Big Tech Companies to decide our discourse our discussion our debate in our own country that is manifestly unfair and its not a business decision actually its a public utility and thats a critical point. The head of the International Olympic committees back to the findings of a World Antidoping Agency panel over alleged attempted results in the moscow to retrieve data base russia strongly deny the allegations after issuing its own technical investigation and responds on things made in a cotton of a pick up a story. A group of russian technical experts have conducted their own investigation and rejected claims that moscow manipulated athletes test results in its laborious tree database they claim that moscow has transferred all the information required to wada and never tempered with the results of the probe now it turned out doubt the database could have been altered by those who had admin access to the system and according to the experts those people would be the Program Developer and his team who actually back in 2015 fled to the United States right as the doping scandal aska latest russian experts say that they were the ones who tempered because they had admin rights russian experts have found that the developer of the limbs the most mr make it you of and his colleague mr socialist how did ministries access to the system as a result of the research the russian side has determined that the database used to the most has been changed from time to time and after mr rajan kind of and so believe ski fled to the us the database had been in fact run via the internet from los angeles until june 26th seen the situation changed in 2016 when it was revealed that such manipulations took place the Russian Agency was guarded and 2016 within you had of the department appointed but a problem seemingly still exist there are actually 2 copies of the database one that was given to water in 2017 by an unknown whistleblower and the other one provided by the russian side in general this year now the group of experts believes that it is essentially wrong to compare these 2 coffees because of their different origins while the 29000 copy was produced following all the necessary technical requirements the other came from unknown digital front here after possibly being tampered with and that is backed by avid and found during the investigation conducted by the experts. A russian led criminal investigation has found a mechanism of deliberate tampering with a doping test results deeply integrated into the lymph system so what do we have now well despite numerous offer is coming from russia to create a united and independent Investigation Team into this matter what and has been either avoiding or even rejecting these attempts russian experts explain why they think this happened in this case we think that during its probe what is Intelligence Investigations Department tried by all means not to undermine trust in the information provided by the whistleblower and the conclusions made by mr mclaren and now of final decision on the case will be made on december the 9th in paris russia could now face a 4 year ban from hosting major sports competitions and clean up slits made to compete under troll flak. One of the stars of the hit Netflix Series narcos wagner maura has blamed the league back in his native brazil for creating a political monster hes been speaking exclusively to r. T. Spanish channel host and former ecuadorian president rafael correa. Illimitable mean how could the people who great brazil choose such a primitive person has both scenarios as an elegant but this is a good question well perhaps the fact is that one. You dont. Think even you have no one so it was in a bubble. But during the government of lula and deal we lived in a certain isolated world the country has reached a new level 30000000 people have moved out of poverty airports are full of people like never before more black students are attending universities we lived in a certain isolated world. Is a magician and he cheve a reconciliation between social classes which was unlikely to ever happen in brazil told the bankers dont worry everything will be fine the only thing i want is to get people out of poverty you will not lose your positions and your income yes and for some time despite high prices for war materials everything went well but then the economy collapsed and humans did not possess the same ability or charisma as we were and then the elite which temporarily agreed to this agreement said thats it but some of what it is and even think that the same elite which had no other choice but to support while so narrow is now beginning to realize what kind of a want for theyve created and is now trying to distance itself from a lot of the stance on the newspapers wrote that lula was unsolved they do the same with culture figures here that for example i have a lot of lawsuits with journalists that used this i did not know that i will sue them they say that i use the law to promote culture because i have leftist views and support leftist ideology and i far more suits against the media but what happened to move is a real mess. Next weeks general election in britain seems to be the next rush to scandal on my rise and the Opposition Labor Party leaders being accused by the Daily Telegraph newspaper of helping to spread russian dis information after he exposed league documents on the u. S. U. K. Trade talks but it also comes just months after the very same paper published a story apparently based on a lake of the very same documents as nicky aaron now explains. Its crunch time ahead of the u. K. s general election meaning its now or never to smear anyone and everyone in red in other words link them to russia this week its mostly comrade Jeremy Corbett as we can see from this headline bounce off the court and produced a leaked cache of documents part of which he says reveals how pm Boris Johnson put the n. H. S. Up for sale during trade talks with the us q damage control from mr Prime Minister the n. H. S. Is not for sale and under no circumstances will this government or any conservative government do anything to put the n. H. S. Up for negotiation in trade talks or progress and if you know that those documents represent meetings that took place between a british minister and officials in the usa i think its time they gave us the shorts that they will not sign off our n. H. S. That they will not sell off our Public Services as part of a trade deal with the us and i just garage sales aside its the least dossier thats grabbing attention if not from the russians when i could corbins documents have possibly come from corbin calls it nonsense but among the pack of those demanding the labor party come clean it seems the Daily Telegraph knows better independent researchers said the documents carried the specter of foreign influence as they had been published online using methods that directly mirror an earlier russian descent from Asian Campaign the Daily Telegraph tools that conclusion from a social media a little that works with nato as atlanta councils think tank guaranteed impartiality then all maybe the guys the telegraph are looking for answers in all the wrong places it seems the outlet got its hands on a strikingly similar dossier lets take a closer look heres an excerpt from the dossier corben what there was much talk which printed do you commission as the bad guys it is easier to change your regulation before its finalized ok again that was from the leak obtained by the Opposition Leader and this from the dossier published by the telegraph 4 months ago see the difference. British negotiators said washington had repeatedly painted the e. U. Commission as the bad guys american officials said it was easier to change a regulation before it is finalized there was much talk which created the u. Commission as the bad guys it is easier to change your regulation before its finalized well maybe we should ask the authors of the july report who their source was did they have a new russian friends who might have provided the documents also heres a tip keep a close eye on the online comments section some of its really worth a look like this one posted more than 2 weeks ago with links to the very scandalous documents at the center of it all available for anyone and everyone to enjoy however it would seem that the people most concerned about the origins of the dossier pop in to be those at the telegraph the u. S. U. K. Trade talk minutes found their way on to the internet the Cabinet Office to investigate and if not do you think they should be im. Not the answer is no. And years ago december the 5th or tragedy strike in the russian city of perm a deadly fire ripped through a nightclub killing 156 people as russia commemorates the horrific incident we spoke to one of the many families still suffering the consequences. Exactly the kind of state of us dollars what is it. That in washington yes favored it becomes. A sort of ice right. Fist he could just get. It. And still didnt. Answer questions. Concerns. Been spinning. Nearest. The National News or both. Sides at which explanation might push. It a little bit on the border texted. Me and did it just to finance a finance financing. Or something to thank you for quitting a little and give it get them to sign up a little was last spring. Thank you again vice chair of future support it. You will. From us in the newsroom thoughts it thanks for watching sean thomas has you covered in the coming hours with developing stories after the nations kaiser report international from moscow. The European Unions tendency to believe that. It represents europe has long been a major gripe for russia but as the e. U. Experiences significant internal difficulties it is studied to reassess what it is and what it stands for what does that process mean for the countries sharing the continent with. The Economic System known as capitalism has generated more wealth than any other system in history in many ways it is defined maternity itself hundreds of millions have been lifted out of poverty however capitalism has also witnessed growing income inequality bust the appeal of socialism currently on the rise can complement. Hello america azure this is the kaiser report a man to a quick low dial 1800000 more on this. Ok boomer you are a boomer and you sound like a boomer always loans loans loans debt debt well i want to start this episode with this theme of boomer which has gone viral of course and thats the millennium versus the boomers the millennial. Basically rising up ok theyre the biggest voting block on the in town and theyre searching asserting their power so 1st to put the context of whats going on in america thats ok boomer thing i want to look at this chart and this is only from 79122010 and it shows the u. S. National debt and the u. S. Annual g. D. P. Says he see from when we started our National Debt in 17 9100. 00 all the way to just after a while where to we had almost no debt g. D. P. Stayed flat and now the least nominally our nominal g. D. P. Is going up rapidly but its almost entirely with debt and as we know from covering drone powell last week you know that is starting to we were having to create 3. 00 a day just for 1. 00 g. D. P. Said those are going to cross at one point but this is important to understand that this is the boomers and donald trump is the 1st of the boomers the 1st wave of them born in 1906 this is the world they know where everything goes up its always Getting Better everything does get better numbers wise even if its not just dell model they always say number go up lets look at another day 1776 you know in the beginning of what we now know as the United States of america. During that 240 year proximate period of time Interest Rates have never been lower thats why you have so much debt because the cost of incurring debt is for most people on wall street is a row. Of cost anything and used to be going back even 20 years hed have to pay 5. 00 or 6 percent in interest to take on a bunch of debt now to 0 in back in the u. K. Recently they had Interest Rates at a 300 year low price so theres no cost for that if you dont have to pay for it any just get it for free you get a bunch of money delivered your office for free and you can go buy tiffanys with it or you can go buy a big productive utility with it thats guaranteed income or buy Huge Corporation with it why not well there used to be a cost to debt which is why we did not incur any debt which is why we could not as a nation and thats why the g. D. P. Stay flat along with the flat levels of debt baby boomers were born in 1946 s. The 1st of them the debt started to rise g. D. P. Also started to rise nominally with that 1071. 00 of course when the 1st of them or what 2223. 00 we went off the Gold Standard because the cost of debt was real we had to send several tons of gold to 300000. 00 worth at the time to france when they showed up with their naval ship in the new york harbor so there was a cost to it then they got to unhinge it and they of course it was a magic trick right but the boomers have a mentality that they are somehow. In daoud with amazing ability and entrepreneurial and wonderful talent and Wealth Creation when we see the magic trick they were nothing special they were not unique the only thing unique about them is they had no alleged cost to their debt but now we have a new generation who wants a similar trick done for them entering the workforce and there is no trick you know we were trying things like quantitative easing and negative Interest Rates we had never been tried in 5000 years and thats not doing the trick yet you know if im right and i think anyone Richard Nixon couldnt afford the war anymore because he had to pay in gold for the money he was borrowing so he cut us off from the Gold Standard then you entered a world of purely feel myself you have money refers other feet of money its a bit regress right there all the yen the euro the dollar they all refer to each other and theyre all going deeper and deeper into debt so theres no basic there or there theres no stairs no way to measure the debt against something that is good because that are money remember j. P. Morgan said only gold is money Everything Else is credit or debt ok so without that there is no way to
