Just a day to get here in moscow is friday morning for good morning from me kevin i welcome to this 30 minute world news update live from art internationals h. Q. 1st then us democrats have received an embarrassing blow after it was revealed that the party employed a multi 1000000. 00 Strategy Company to help shift the country to the left a report by a conservative watchdog amassed a scheme to promote certain topics from supporting a care to slamming Donald Trumps border wall he goes down off takes a closer look at how the network operates. Whats more powerful in politics than money a strong candidate with a good program and idealist would say 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 their 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 prodigys pockets democrats according to this research a group called Arabella Advisors a little feat has been in the vanguard of the leftist money holds the 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 kellogg 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 4 nonprofits have been showering anti conservative grassroots organizations with their money take this one with a name so noble its cloying. So destructive around free and he says that you dont really care about the quality of any republican justices your goals have not come all down until you can get past the next couple years and get them a great system where 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 to what will be another uncertainty in health care. Remember this it led to this. We wont forget. Well their financial backbone is made up by bills coming from a nother Arabella Advisors 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 declining viewership both the editorial and 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 that narrative reality is the independents and the rising anticorruption anticrime only part voting populace. 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 unions from particularly from the Public Sector unions to 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 i mean the public has a right to know that 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 a nother democratic staple remember regardless of what side of the political spectrum would comes from its not just people but billionaires fortunes behind it to. A wave of deadly attacks and looting in south africa sparked a boycott against the country led by celebrities across the continent the violence has targeted migrants from other african nations who flock to one of the continents most developed nations fall asleep reports from johannesburg this morning. South africas still reeling off to 4 days of bloody violence and some 300 people being a wasted the violence was triggered last week in the countrys capital petrolia when a South African tech 6 rival was alleged to have been killed by a nigerian drug dealer now as part of a protest against a South African taxi drivers who took to the streets because he soon that protest evolved into a demonstration against all foreign is inspired to add the same to around the country and the result has been violence hundreds of foreigners have been days to toot off to the businesses were attacked the police were forced to use white control mrs such as tear gas and rubber bullets and the situation is still rather unstable now because of the nationality of that an aged drug dealer being nigerian a lot of the focus has actually been on nigerians now south africa has temporarily closed its Diplomatic Missions in at bouchet and lagos in nigeria for fear of reprisals against its stop South African businesses have also close their doors temporarily in nigeria and the South African foreign minister has said that this is an embarrassment for south africa and she has expressed her great for violence against foreigners nigeria has pulled out of the African Economic summit being held in south africa and the nigerian foreign minister has also expressed concern received sickening and depressing news of continued burning and looting of nigerian shops and premises in south africa by mindless criminals with an Effective Police protection in. Definitive measures the last time there was a xenophobia outbreak like this in south africa was back in 2008 but this is a country where you have an unemployment of 29 a saint which means a very often the distress of people who dont have jobs turns against foreign is often instead of actually being directed against the government and its lack of delivery the 2011 same. Is the last official senses in terms of how many foreigners are in this country in the pits the figure of 2000000 dead at the waist and it suggests the figure is closer to 5000000 out of a population of 56000000 you have the South African president whos also expressed alarm over what is happening saying that theres no place for us in a phobia in south africa now id like to condemn the violence that has been spreading over our own number of provinces in our country in the strongest. Ive been talking to a lot of foreigners here in south africa who are very afraid of what is happening there is a lot of fake news thats been spreading on social media with pictures that are not actually even South African showing people being burned people jumping out of buildings with the caption foreign is it leaves south africas so were in the process of verifying another the media along with the experts but the situation certainly is dire at the moment. The Worlds Biggest Oil corporations and spoke 50000000000. 00 on projects that undermine climate goals according to a report by a financial think tank called carbon track and World Climate activists insist that Large Companies and governments should come up with proper initiatives to tackle the problem seems some experts proposals are pretty radical. The main official initiative though is of course the 2015 paris climate agreement it was ratified by 185 states citing measures that countries should take to limit Global Warming but easier said than done most of the signatories of failed to live up to the commitments dont call to discuss the growing threat hanging over the globe with a panel of experts. The hours of cold was not legally binding there was no reason for anyone to stick to it they can do what they like and they carried on doing what theyve like. Im afraid were in the grip of a series of systems which are putting profit before everything theyre going to wring the last drop of profit out of all the Old World Industries such as the fossil fuel industries weve known about this problem weve known about c o 2 weve known about me thing we know about the feedback loops weve known about the effect on the ice sheets capitalism is had plenty of time to solve this problem but im afraid it hasnt dealt with it so we have to start dealing with capitalism the only way were going to do that is by taking radical action on the streets ive been on the streets myself with Extinction Rebellion and the people come up to us and theyre with us u. K. For example there was a lot of activism. In the last 20 years in running up to 2008 when the law was passed called the Climate Change act that was supposed to deal with the problem and hold the government and all future governments to hold their feet to the fire in terms of doing whats required. And that was certainly the result of lots of different you know different environmental groups and you know hundreds of thousands of people marching repeatedly so i think you know we have seen change but its just nowhere near enough to tackle the crisis at scale do you as a climate scientist feel that the activists play a serious role in the in the development of towards a solution for Climate Change problem with extension of the extinction barely end is that. Not one who now is agent to make change it means the government probably. Need to make massive changes to make this happen weve got ourselves into a situation sine he said there wouldnt about blockades and this isnt going to be something that we can just make quite a bit. Its a long call was this is site. Consumes less consumes differently we get more we think a lot economy and that is not made in the right that without some impacts i think that people the public and politicians arent quite aware of the drastic changes we need to start reducing our Carbon Emissions and one of the things that i think we need to consider which is anathema to many people in the Green Movement is that we we increase our use of nuclear and i know many in the Green Movement dont like this but really the only country that ever successfully carbonized its elektra is france and they did it in the 1960 s. And 970 s. By by going for Nuclear Power why why worry is there i dont think people are ready to cut their Energy Use Worldwide since 970 weve seen Worldwide Energy use increased dramatically and. That were not going to be able to persuade people to reduce their energy use and one of the only ways i think were going to combat Climate Change is to for both renewables are nuclear is to provide alternative sources because i just dont think people are ready to cut energy use wood to addicted to our our lifestyles. Washington seems to be improving its relationship with go on of these days the south American Country the borders venezuela its list of socalled humanitarian program led by the air force that while providing some services to locals also conducts training for military personnel course venezuela where the u. S. Backed Opposition Leader failed to achieve regime change early this year is already encircled by american bases from every other side our Senior Correspondent examines more of it this morning. 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 sits in a strategic location on the north edge of south america and on the caribbean and do 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 the same that israel or 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 great complete by the military or the military. Youd think entirely surrounding nations you dont like might be a bit overkill but its the pressure psychological pressure that matters the promises easier when the guys youre 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 a new way to check a chewing gum wrapper without hitting the u. S. Marine on the news which come to think of it they could well uses 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 around in 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 and 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 luke asians in more than 160 countries absalom sort of military presence in 84 percent of the countries on this planet and yet not enough they just need more crave more. Some say what is this friday if you watch the clock the story maybe had enough to work whatever look at this right ahead of this friday morning from moscow story from russia live in that mess there russias far east hit by severe flooding still many homes on the water were going on for a month now bringing the latest pictures just one of the stories ahead. Loss of western germany that steve globalization and this came in with triumphant 2016 and 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 synaesthete countries like russia move aggressively away from the dollar and buy gold and dig globalization simultaneously. You know world of big part of the lot and conspiracy its time to wait 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 on the back and shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. Russias far eastern city of light of all start next where leaders are meeting their final day now the Eastern Economic forum its annual think big thing though president Putin Elliott joined discussions with the indian japanese but lays in among go in leaders talking about how to move forward on trade technology in the environment and how to best avoid Global Military escalations care is covering it all for us that was quite a company in that room the leader of the 2nd most populous country in this world and as we began to realize in the last few years a staunch ally of russia and the plus the leader of japan an ally of the u. S. In the 1st place but as they put himself a great friend of the russian president Vladimir Putin and finally the heads of 2 asian mongolia and malaysia a lot was said about whats left of Global Security now that the intermediate range Nuclear Forces treaty is gone because the u. S. Administration thought that was the way to go in the 21st century mr putin said that he believes the world will have plenty of reasons to worry about after all a potential new arms race is a very big deal at the fuel which was in the least it was a series of challenges facing humanity imagine if theres some weapon maybe a Nuclear Weapon in orbit over our heads. Its this could drastically change the security situation across the globe and own American Partners keep silent when we suggest continuing to negotiate to some and theres nothing new in that. Another key message from the russian president was that moscow will keep up with all the missile r. And d. That the west will get itself involved in but when it comes to the deployment that wont happen on the part of russia when it comes to the weapons previously. By the i. N. F. Treaty until america starts taking the boxes on their deployment plans no matter how difficult and serious this issue is though Vladimir Putin decided its worth adding a bit of humor and jokingly suggested that america should waste money if it can buy some of the arms to call g. From russia. But i still dont know do you want us to sell you those weapons they are saying they will soon produce their own that might be so but then why would they spend the money if we have already spent it wouldnt breach security but would create balance. Another Landmark International agreement that is now in real jeopardy because of the new diplomatic methods of the u. S. Administration as a socalled away and nuclear deal while judging by what the japanese Prime Minister said at the Plenary Session donald trump busy and shinzo abi arent on the same page and this regard despite them being allies. We have long told the u. S. We have our concern in iran and the nuclear deal i wish it would be resolved through negotiations i talked to the Supreme Leader and he said that iran isnt going to produce or use Nuclear Weapons he said it very clearly believe it or not before shaking hands and vladivostok mr putin and mr abbay met 26. 00 times before and the japanese leader was keen to point that out once again after all they dont call each other great friends for nothing and he even entertain the audience with his knowledge of a russian prover that suggests that. You have to eat a lot of salt together to become real friends. The audience here might not know that the summit meeting weve just had was our 27th meeting ladies and gentlemen its important for you to know that president putin and i have had so many meals together time and time again that one might say we were even kilos of soul together it was clear that the Prime Ministers of india and japan wanted to be good guests and show a bit of admiration for the country that theyre visiting and thats when the name of russian pole woodson riders started coming up and even quotes around remote even the indian Prime Minister even compared to the washington writer leo tolstoy with someone who is known as the father of the nation and in the Mahatma Gandhi so its this kind of warmth respect and the desire to hear each others opinions that is for him and vladivostok will be remembered for. More that come later old next to the ongoing trade war between the United States and china many battle lines of control in many boundaries set but now a form of fox news host is being accused of colluding with the enemy no less for a lot of yoga good but she says stands for American Values was found to be made in china. We dont want to be. The chinese we dont want to be this. And again someone needs to make china playing the ongoing discussions about russia russia russia what we really should be looking at is china. Theyre running them out of business so they can buy cheap for the American Consumers are better. Whether or not. It really doesnt matter its about freedom its about the bill of rights its about constitutional freedom thats what the whole line is about that. One branch for. The other will see whats happening starting in the capitol. The taliban has claimed it was a powerful blast which killed at least 10 people. Buildings including the Afghan Intelligence service and the u. S. Embassy. For a preliminary. Peace deal was announced earlier this week. Russias far east hundreds of emergency workers have been taking part in ongoing rescue operations the water is severe flooding continues to hit the area surrounding the river in the region thats been going on since august more than a 100 residential buildings remain under water. Slowly so the weatherman. Mr. Program cuts in social benefits in argentina have triggered yet more protests in the capital demonstrators camped out overnight and set fires outside the social Development Ministry political instabilities worsened Economic Uncertainty in argentina following a president ial primary in august that gave a significant lead to the countrys opposition as.

Where they were assassinating populist leaders they were backing up right away military windows funding an army of death squads theres no any more because theres always a small pickup truck or a really good. Profit. Most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the 1st one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest raid in truth to stand down and lose business you just need to ask the right questions and demand the right answer. Questions. This is. One of the most 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 and such a personal you know subject. And people are scared so people just dont talk about it and thats sad but. In our Species Survival is truly dependent on us addressing this issue and if we cant even talk about it if we cant even have a conversation about it then. Were in trouble. 6 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 professor 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 summer and
