A mass protest movement thats received Global Support including from the us. Are broadcasting a larger story because the studios in moscow this is our to International Im sean thomas a dagger with. The u. S. And iran are trading accusations over a suspected attack on 2 oil tankers in the gulf of oman washingtons acting defense secretary claims america is simply trying to build agreement on what happened. I think as you can tell we have an International Situation there in minorities is not a us situation and the focus for myself and embassador bolton secretary pompei o is to build International Consensus to this International Problem earlier the u. S. Released a video which it claims shows the iranians removing an unexploded mine from one of the vessels but the tankers owner says his crew reported the vessel being hit by flying a projectiles tehran meanwhile has accused america of engaging in sabotage diplomacy and undermining peace and security in the region. Over the last year the u. S. Has been implementing an aggressive approach hailes the International Legal battle using its financial and military clowns this poses a serious threat to the region into global security. So iran is questioning the evidence the u. S. Has presented as arties and to reports america does have a history of making questionable claims. Event accusation war weve seen it so many times before is history about to repeat the us secretary of state mike palm pale whos 100 percent convinced irans got blood or in this case burning oil all over its hands it is the assessment of the United States government that the Islamic Republic of iran is responsible for the attacks that occurred in the gulf of oman today these unprovoked attacks present a clear threat to International Peace and security a blatant assault on the freedom of navigation and in an acceptable campaign of escalating tension by iran but similar bold accusation claims have been made in the past and how have they worked out countries invaded have undeniably been led by controversial figures often dictators but the evidence supplied by the us has more often than not been somewhat lacking and lets not even mention weapons of mass destruction lets take a look at libya in 2011 more gadhafi equaled enemy number one secretary clinton was there to tell us gadhafi Security Forces and other groups in the region are trying to divide the people by using violence against women and rape as tools of war and the United States come dems this in the strongest possible terms the media swallowed it whole libya mass rape claims using vi agri would be a horrific 1st us and boy gadhafi troops raping issued viagra for as a defense viger branded migs libyan mass rape allegations not exactly the conclusion of the un or even human Rights Groups come with your conclusion that there is a systematic policy of rape in my opinion we cant i know i said i wouldnt mention iraq socalled w m ds and i wont but i will talk about iraq because remember washingtons going into battle against it twice this will not stand this aggression. Against the way. In the 1990 s. George bush sr was ready to go to war after iraqs troops entered to kuwait not convinced of the need for action perhaps this will help there i saw the rescue soldiers come into the hospital with guns. They took the babies i think it bears. To think youd be there is among the children to die of a cold oh. That was a young a coed to girl speaking to the u. S. Congress q the headlines witnesses talk of iraqi atrocities the rape of a nation and some literal Identity Theft and q the war just one problem that girl was the daughter of the kuwaiti ambassador in the u. S. While the interview was organized by a p. R. Firm later investigations once again concluded reality was far from the truth back to present day and a new holder of the americas most hated title by this whalen president Nicolas Maduro trump says his times up you will find no safe harbor no wheezy exit and no way out you will know everything. The trumpet ministration accused of torching aid trucks there were photos to most dogs civilians killed by live rounds and the burning of trucks carrying badly needed food and medicine this is being response to peaceful efforts to help venezuelans countries that still brick madeira should take note of what they are indorsing and once again the media lapped it up a bit embarrassing when the New York Times is later forced to admit it was in fact the opposition has been striking the matches so to go back to where we weaken iran still convinced by mr pompei is video perhaps the lesson to be learned investigation before action as opposed to the other way around its incredible that america still plays this game of wanting to persuade because american because the American People to go to war it doesnt mean the International Community what it means is for the people at home to think of killing for a greater good you have to believe the worst. Its not for americas part because they want to be the saviors of the exceptional nation. And this lie will do work for america its just lost its moral standing in the hall because of all its worth its losses treasury now has lost its insanity and if people dont stand up to america it will does not stand up to america then war for the world that because well who will change as we know it. The probe is now underway in russia to find out why i join a list of on going off was arrested on drug charges which turned out to be false dawn of was detained on june 6th in a case that. Triggered mass protests he reports in russia for the news website medusa which is based in lafayette even gone all spoke exclusively to r. T. After his release. Christian law when i was detained the 1st thing i wanted to do was get my lawyer i was focused on that so i didnt have emotions like anger or fear or all of this my work as a journalist because drugs for me just ridiculous i never had anything to do with at the 3rd being more close a black his actions i might have had some emotion its probably either because of the notes that are just being released or the ones that are about to be released i saw and heard that were given to support when i was in court and i came here i could hear people shouting them closer than just a girl that was moving i am deeply grateful to everyone who supports on the border when it seems like this is not about me but about the general outrage that people feel my situation became symbolic for your body its what i couldnt believe it when these papers are printing whining about i cant remember such a thing happen 3 of the countries mainly speak because were taking a common stance on the front pages right now i have an urge to turn back the clock or some pretend Nothing Happened so i can bribe the metro piece and do the job that i love to praise. Kongs chief executive has postponed a controversial bill on extradition after a wave of street protests. I now announce that the government has decided to suspend a legislative amendment exercise restart all communication with all sectors of society do more explanation work and listen to different views of society. If the bill if passed would allow beijing to seek the extradition of suspects from hong kong to Mainland China the final decision on whether to extradite or not would rest with hong kongs courts and its chief executive supporters of the draft say it will prevent hong kong from becoming a refuge for criminals but others fear it will erode hong kongs special status within china and allow beijing to target political enemies but it is not just hong kong residents who are concerned as of his Eventual Success explains. For days there hong kong has been gripped by protests over an extradition bill that would allow alleged fugitives to be extradited to Mainland China as well as taiwan was. Was. Did you notice the banners written in english or it doesnt seem the best way of getting the governments attention in beijing but american politicians are receiving the message loud and clear the extradition bill imperils the strong u. S. Hong kong relationship there has florries for 2 decades if it passes to congress has no choice but to reassess whether hong kong is sufficiently autonomous under the one country 2 systems framework the extradition law proposed by beijing loyalists in hong kong would allow political dissidents minorities and foreign travelers in hong kong to be Spirited Away to China Secret Police on the mainland the people of hong kong or a sense. Willing in the streets to resist this threat to their freedom and send a message to the Chinese Communist party we stand with the people of hong kong that Peaceful Demonstrations are a strong profound statement against the extradition bill which undermines the rule of law and a secure Business Environment so from americas perspective extraditing suspects from hong kong to madeleine china seems to be awful but extraditing them to the United States well it seems to be fine because the United States still has an extra the extradition treaty with hong kong dating back to the territories time as a british colony and america is not only giving its moral support the us national and all meant for democracy has given vast sums to hong kong trade unions and Rights Groups driving this movement so whats behind all this generosity well the Chinese State media has made it clear i dont think were competitive media who are part of the protests in hong kong really run with beth or hung. The wrong toothy the things between and of the 10 men like americans in particular. Who become the new to campaign. So while the people of hong kong may have disputes with men lend china theyre also finding themselves trapped in a power play between beijing and washington the u. S. Government is threatening at eve to be you would be passed if you change hong kong starters if that is the case your own homes status call us the opening important to us the world the movement the true will is intensifying into a cold war it is an interest of the beach in florida to keep home calm he is a it is going to escalate to be a broom told wall. Be conceived and kept as the window cannot. With us recognized by the United States. President trump has angered his critics by saying he would be willing to accept compromising information on political opponents from foreign sources without alerting the f. B. I. To somebody that said we have information on your opponent oh let me call the f. B. I. Give me a break life as it were. He is a traitor to the pillars of our democracy and thats what that interview shows its a very sad. Very sad thing that he does not know right from wrong is not is not interference in our elections its illegal to take help from a foreign country in our elections its illegal. Course you have to look at it because if you dont look at it did not get an overt spread but of course youd give it to the f. B. I. Or reported to the attorney general or somebody like that donald trump has done it again hes opened his mouth and made a comment that has the democrats screaming weve got it and this time it involves for any info and the f. B. I. Now there certainly is growing evidence of foreign contacts during the 2016 elections but not from the Truck Campaign but rather from the campaign of Hillary Clinton d. N. C. Contractor was in contact with ukrainian officials regarding paul man of fort and his dealings in the country paul manna for it was the chief of Donald Trumps campaign at that time the Ukrainian Ambassador has confirmed that the clintons were digging up dirt the embassy got snow mr lupa because very occasionally of ukrainian and other diasporas in washington d. C. And often had d. N. C. Capacity weve learned about the d. N. C. Involvement later light is floated by alexandra were related to approaching a member of congress with the purpose to initiate hearings and pull manifold lets get invests of journalists off prison portion crow question about mr manifolds during his public talk in washington d. C. According to some documents the Obama White House was in on it as well reports show that meetings took place with the you. Cranium Anti Corruption bureau in early 2016 this is recall that the u. S. Department of justice was investigating ties between the Ukrainian Party of regions and folks in the United States they were sniffing around paul mann affords contacts but they didnt bring charges at the time it was definitely the case that led to the charges against manifolds on the leak to the us media during the 2016 election now the leak was provided by that particular Anti Corruption bureau in ukraine about millions of dollars that paul metaphoric had allegedly received the key of District Administrative Court ruled that the national Anti Corruption group of ukraine direct broke the law when disclosing information about u. S. Citizen pool not afford these have the effect of interfering in the us election in 2016 and was detrimental to the interests of ukraine now whatever you think about foreign meddling this is got to raise eyebrows nothing in the bottom of the report came anywhere near this i think what the d. N. C. Did with the ukraine is is. Absolutely far 10 times beyond what anybody in the Trump Campaign did and if the standard is going to be seeking or even hearing information from foreign campaigns that thats going to be a criminal act the democrats are going to be in trouble way before the republicans are going to be in trouble they are really trampling on the 1st amendment now trying to make it a crime to listen to information and i think thats a dangerous path it is unbelievable the way the other side United States is not wanting to talk about all the collusion on the solicited illusion on the democrat side they had operated our producer not only actively seeking foreign information on President Trump then candidate from they were paying for that information and i dont know why the left media in the United States has want to cover this its its shocking. You know vest activists tell you know the streets across france for a 31st consecutive weekend in pairs and there were familiar scenes of riot police using tear gas. I. Was. Several injuries were reported the civil unrest started back in november as a protest against soaring fuel prices and then snowballed into a mass Antigovernment Movement activists are now demanding a new wealth tax a higher minimum wage and the resignation of president michael. Germany is boosting its trade ties with the United Arab Emirates despite the gulf nations role in the war in yemen a far reaching a deal signed during the crown princes visit to berlin and its angered many german haunted parties my financial reports. It was clearly a fruitful meeting but its left a bitter taste in the mouth for some the visit coloration german chancellor Angela Merkel and the crown prince of abu dhabi signed in their main head 46 points and focused mainly on business ties between germany and the United Arab Emirates but the conversation apparently went far beyond that im not sure youd be any on the but of course we talked about the conflict in yemen and im very happy between a green a common explanation and the reason assess it to disappear with a new treaty of process in the United Nations with the u. N. Special envoy of course they talked about yemen the United Arab Emirates is the 2nd key player in the devastating conflict there off to saudi arabia and germany reportedly selling it weapons the reason why the warm welcome of the crown prince here in berlin made some opposition politicians fuming as Deputy Commander in chief of the Us Armed Forces he has access to enormous financial military capacities which he and scrupulously uses to support autocratic rulers who oppose human rights in countries such as egypt libya and saddam which Shaikh Muhammad bin sayed received by murder. Call him steinmeyer a man responsible for war crimes in yemen now concrete actions not just strong words are needed the work crimes of the u. A. E. Must not be rewarded by german arms exports even though there were no armed deal of mention this time the bundestag opposition found out earlier that the multibillion euro partnership between germany and the United Arab Emirates doesnt include some deadly elements answering to a request by Germanys Left Party the federal ministry for Economic Affairs confirmed yes german weaponry could go to the u. A. E. And no rules will be broken the party behind the request strongly disagrees we talked to its palm entry deputy who is also an m. P. The federal government violates the arms exports to the u. A. E. And the other countries participating in a war in yemen which is a violation of the political principles of the federal government for the export of war weapons and other armaments this document clearly stipulates delivery of weapons or arms components is not approved for countries involved in Armed Conflict or where there is a threat we contacted the federal ministry of Economic Affairs for clarification but so far havent received a response and while there is still no clear understanding of whether germany does sell or whether it should sell its weapons to the United Arab Emirates the public discussion goes on and on. Last year under merkel imposed an arms embargo on saudi arabia for its role in the yemen war this week she welcomed the u. A. E. Crown Prince Mohammed bin zaid and praise strengthen business links with the gulf country no mention of arms exports. Weapons are delivered to dubai the United Arab Emirates in fact there is no expert ban for weapons theyre delivered to the military partners of saudi arabia people are dying anyway we need an e. U. Wide expert ban germany which had different times has had various restrictions or rates arm trade with the United Arab Emirates over yemen claims there was no solid evidence that german made weapons were used in the conflict and therefore the countrys guidelines have not failed its embargo with saudi arabia still in force and the general dropping german is arm experts proves that the country that stands for peace making moves in the right direction which probably means that the massive abu dhabi berlin trade with or without weapons is said to flourish i think its the absolute apex of hypocrisy to be talking business to dictate who is at the same time shown the slaughtering civilians with bombing hospitals and diving children to death and in yemen merkel she is doing whats convenient pressure. From the United States from the. Suppliers germany strong pressure you cannot deny that to a strong government would stand up. And put the interest of the general population 1st america doesnt do that what shes doing is shes thinking about the 15 nearly 15000000000 in trade between the United Arab Emirates and germany she thinking about rowing the german army. The u. K. Advertising watchdog has banned commercials that reinforce gender stereotypes that argues theyre bad for society. Riverdance shows how harmful gender stereotypes in ads can contribute to inequality in society with costs for all of us put simply we found that some patrols in ads can over time play a policy limiting peoples potential. The new guidelines apply to all forms of advertising radio t. V. Online and print from now on advertisers will have to tread carefully when showing women for example doing the cleaning or men struggling with household duties but to get back to me now back about now back to me sadly he isnt me. And 3 times just if you miss. 3 times to greece. And that just might be the time to relax a kitchen floor. Ok so you press the button do this thing go bang no its curly oh ok. We discuss the story with feminist campaigner and leader of the justice for men and boys party might be can. This is of course just the Advertising Industry bowing down to radical feminism. The idea that theres some big problem here any well will you say that linda but only 9 percent of british women suffered and defy as feminists yet feminists have huge influence over of its got this going not to do it because all this gender stereotyping thing is just one of countless from this narratives lots of women who want to see equality and justice dont call themselves feminists ive got nothing to do with them it isnt actually has got to do with the low mike the no has says its 975. 00 sex discrimination at that women should be treated no this favorably than men and therefore we dont want to see stereotype visions and visions of us cleaning up after chaps from the moments that they leave school they leave full time education to retirement age women are far more likely than men to not work at all or to work part time and this is this is this is got nothing to do with this sort of you do have its eyes and its got to do with gender differences in work ethic i want my son i want my grandson to be able to clean up after themselves not just to think its a womans job now is that you might mike you might think that radical frankly this is the 21st century and thats what most of us want. And deserve for male back of headlines in 34 minutes they want us. What is it calling the coin is magic internet the new type of Digital Currency decentralized digital scarcity chancellor. Of 2nd for bankers call the genesis blog for reason because being a civil disobedience a source of optimism because i can control my own financial destiny its just a new way of coming to consensus its a game changer in the Human History and this is columbus discovering the new world this Paradigm Shifting Technology that transforms economics and finance in a heartbeat the apollo 11 landing on to the max and stacey. In the well did which theyre all the americans that the chinese the indians the russians etc europeans can only read to be a player at that global top table by standing united and we are already united on the economic front and we increasingly understand that we have to do so also in the defense from. The line of welcome to all the parts its hard to believe now but there was a time when the western economies genuinely believed that the soviet union would almost inevitably overtake the United States as the worlds leading economy and it wasnt just fear speaking they had brass and calc. Nations to prove it decades later it is now china thats projected onto the trawler kids benefit and has learned a lot from the soviet family or is that enough though to win and hold onto it cannot make primacy will to discuss that im now joined by James Robinson prominent political scientist and also rolf why in nations fail mr robinson good to talk to you thank you very much for your time pleasure now you published the book back in 2012 when the world felt like a totally different place it was before the economy became political again before this wave of populism rolled over a number of western societies if you were writing you today do you think you would have changed anything in it. Well not really i mean our focus is very much on the long run you could say. You know were trying to figure out you know why does the world look the way it does you know in terms of these big patterns of Economic Prosperity and poverty and thats the sort of deeply historical process so you dont change your views over a few years and i would also say that you know in terms of populism i mean youre right that in a sense the world looks a lot different but but but not the different i mean theres lots of populism historically for somebody like me who studies latin america a lot you know very used to populism you know thats all part of the package in some sense well the reason im asking is that question is because i have a sense that in many western societies people are now starting to question whether indeed they have a winning economic and political systems and you define failure or success as 1st and foremost Economic Growth but the problem with Economic Growth in the west is that its quite imbalanced a lot of it goes into a very small portion of society the majority. Either benefits very little on doesnt benefit at all so whether you have that growth but only for selected few is that really a success or failure and qualify the system as inclusive or the other charmi use extractive i mean thats a good question and i think you know in the book we you know we make this argument about how inclusive economic institutions are create broad based patterns of incentives and opportunities are what you need for sustained Economic Growth and innovation in the long to print and i think you still do have in the United States i think if you look at these enormously wealthy people like bezos gates and how did they make their money through through innovation you know they they made their money by selling people things that people valued but i also agree with you that this enormous increase in inequality is is a challenge you know im not you know in the book we point out this happened in the ninetys
