Its 11 oclock here in moscow and youre watching r. T. International live from our studio with me in india a tutor welcome to the program. A newly released report by a conservative watchdog alleges theres a covert multimillion dollar strategy to promote liberal values in the us the document on mass a scheme to push certain topics from supporting obamacare to slamming donald transportable. Takes a closer look at how it operates. Whats powerful in politics then 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 millions of dollars that behind the scenes donors are spending to some of the political train truck and according to the left clue. Media its a bad bad thing because the conservatives do it because others 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 proteges pockets. Democrats according to this research a group called are a bell or old visor is a little theat as been in the vanguard of the leftist money holes they shelter under their umbrella for nonprofit organizations by then nature they do not have to disclose who would there a getting their money from but this Research Suggests of theyve gathered a huge number of very wealthy donors some of the nations largest grunt make me institutions including the Rockefeller Packard and colloq foundations a dont is to the funs managed by arabella it remains unclear why such large and powerful institutions seek outside philanthropic consulting but presumably is significant parts of our a bill is appeal lies in its ability to obscure large Financial Transactions these for were nonprofits have been showering anti conservative grassroots organizations with their money take this one with a name so were no bull its cloying our goal is to oppose inputting and term short list yes they get there are pockets stuffed by 1633rd an off shoot of our a bellowed visors another group save my care has been pushing against republican attempts to repeal obamacare the president ms sabotaging the system will be another uncertainty in healthcare remember of this did lead to this we world for again well their financial bad bonge is made up by builds coming from a nother Arabella Advisors sprout the new venture fund the dark money is not a trick exclusively from the democrat play book yes its been revealed they do outperform the conservatives when it comes to the amount spent by more than 20 percent in fact but pro republican donors do that too and according to the Research Media coverage is way out of balance with most outlets reserving a good bashing for the conservatives when you look at the Mainstream Media which has deservedly declining part of a declining viewership both the editorial in the production staff is chiefly and the anchors are chiefly democrats or democrat leaning so of course out of the Mainstream Media youre going to get that narrative reality is the independents and the rising anticorruption anticrime only part voting populace the United States is against the use of dark body is against the use of corruptly having foundations reality is that a lot of money comes in from 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 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 butane other democratic staple remember regardless of what side of the political spectrum would comes from its not just people but billionaires fortunes behind it too. It is a new Coalition Government has said prosecutors on to the state former interior minister and mateus of any immigration fire brand is accused of conducting a Smear Campaign and inciting violence against the german refugees ship captain correspondent Charlotte Penske is across the story for us. Well salvini is facing this libel case where hes being accused of inciting violence against a cap in this is a captain of a charity rescue ship in the mediterranean karolyn a racket a german citizen now back in july she had rescued 53 migrants in the mediterranean and tried to dock ship this was the sea what 3 on a tally in soil she was told no you cant do that that was one of the the policies that any had when he was interior minister of italy and she then continued to try and dock that boat in doing so she actually rammed into a buddha control vessel and she was later arrested for that salvini at the time accused of trying to sink that patrol boat and actually had cues to her of an act of war she was later released then put on the house arrest and later court said that she hadnt done anything illegal or though she does still face charges of helping illegal immigration now salvini during that whole incident discussed it on twitter he said things that shes the captain was a criminal that she was a delinquent that poor woman had tried to kill 5 italian soldiers and this is why he is now facing this prosecution but salvini says he stands by everything that he said denounced by a german communist the drive for good immigrants. God is former interior minister former deputy prime minister. Is one of the countrys most popular politicians riding high in the polls mainly due to his anti immigration stance and the fact that he closed ports to Illegal Immigrants while he was in that position now the Current Coalition which is the make up of the 5 Star Movement and the left wing democrat. Atic party is said to be a coalition thats kind of come together to form something out of nothing and as a result many people intend hooks at that government itself could collapse in the coming months if not the coming years but certainly many people expecting that before italys next scheduled election as a result of that the popularity of materials salvini is seen as being thought on inside of the Current Administration so you can imagine that theyre certainly rubbing their hands in glee at any attempts to neutralize matea salvini and neutralize the popularity. Of washington seems to be improving its relationship with the latin american nation that borders venezuela is launched a socalled humanitarian Outreach Program led by the air force there that provides some services to locals but also conducts training for military personnel the move has now seen neighboring venezuela encircled by american bases just months after the us backed opposition failed to achieve regime change in caracas our Senior Correspondent rod castillo examines washingtons tactics. 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 guy anna is important guy on a sits in a strategic location on the north edge of south america and on the caribbean and the look what a coincidence borders very i mean what are the chances of that the same venezuela that has u. S. Bases all around it. Here he brazil is in that its hosting a u. S. Military base a mile and israel is like the center of a dual none of us bases so. 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 over even the breitling could be toppled very quickly by the military or the military. Youd think entirely surrounding nations you dont like might be a bit overkill but its the pressure psychological pressure that matters the promises easier when the guys you are negotiating with always have something to fear specifically about their country being burned down if they say the wrong thing and it isnt just venezuela i mean look at iran as no way to check a chewing gum wrapper without hitting the u. S. Marine on the nose which come to think of it they could well 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 or 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 fool you for america that isnt enough the us needs to develop alternative or pretty smooth cations 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. 3 former security guards from the private u. S. Military contractor blackwater have had their jail sentences all but hard for their roles in one of the most notorious chapters in the iraq war they were convicted 5 years ago over the deadly shooting of civilians in baghdad in 2007 which left more than a dozen iraqis dead the man had hoped to walk free on a technicality but the judge disagreed. In the United States we hold our armed forces and our contractors accountable for their actions. Doesnt hurt had his sentence reduced the most to 12 years after prosecutors said he was responsible for only 6 of the deaths while even liberty and paul were found culpable for the majority of those killed their sentences were cut to 14 and 15 years respectively lawyers had appealed to the judge to let the man walk free having already spent 5 years behind bars the original judge jailed them men under rules or governing the use of machine guns in a Violent Crime which carries a mandatory 30 year sentence but an Appeals Court rejected that 2 years ago because the man had used government issued weapons in a war zone in thursdays at least sense and seeing the judge describe the former guards as fine young men and praise their characters the massacre of iraqi civilians became one of the most emotionally charged symbols of american abuses in iraq. And i wonder if. There were dead bodies everywhere of margarets going to be with you people and so on among the dead bodies no mystery what thats a return. Of 7 years ago in the. Investigative journalist David Swanson joins me now david i was coming on to the program to discuss this now what kind of reaction are you expecting to the man sentences being reduced so much. I would expect a negative reaction from some part of the public in the us and positive from others including perhaps the president of the us to whom another man sentenced to life in prison is appealing for a pardon you know personally i think we have far too many people in prisons for far too long and other punishments make sense i would like to see restitution to victims i would like to see environmental cleanup and Community Service in iraq by these gentleman but those sorts of punishments are not part of the us or the International World Justice System i do think it is outrageous that the 30 year. Sentence for having a machine gun is tossed out if you got the machine gun from the Us Government what puts the u. S. Government above the rule of law in another country halfway around the world and i think its outrageous theyre not there are laws requiring 10 years for having any kind of gun was tossed out on the basis that this was a war well what made the war legal the entire war was blatantly illegal why should it have even gone with the in that illegal war legalize having that gun as part of your crime so i mean these are technicalities but they tell a larger story about what we sanction as as a culture yeah i mean david show me that reason alone will make this ruling not very popular with the public because you know the judge is bound by the letter of the mill but this will be seen as the one rule for the minute trey and his contract have another for the rest of the population what kind of reaction is that going to bring. For most people im afraid not very much its largely been. Excepted within our society that war is is under one rule of law if any and everybody else under another in fact youll notice the absence of any prosecutions at all for most of the killings of civilians in the war on iraq or any of the other wars whether with bullets or bombs or missiles or sanctions or depleted uranium or White Phosphorous most of the killing does not get prosecuted and so this is the exception and for it to be ruled you know scaled back i dont think sedley is going to shock many people yeah i mean the judge described the men as fine guys yet as we mentioned before the massacre of iraqi civilians its become one of the most and i think charles symbols of american pieces in iraq how those words going to reflect on the church. I dont know and i dont want to comment on these guys as human beings know in very little about them myself but its so similar to president trumps comment about my town of charlottesville that there were 5 people in the fascist rally that took place here i dont think you should refer to people who engage in mass murder of innocent human beings as doing something fine i dont think a judge or anyone else should. And i dont think if it were iraqis in that u. S. Courtroom who had killed u. S. Citizens during that war such a remark ever would have been made i think it was basically a nationalistic remark and rather shameful yeah i mean this is a running fame isnt it david in more than 10 and conflict areas that the number of civilian deaths how can they be avoided are they necessary how much of a precedent might this set of the thumb of his responsible for civilian deaths in one thing. Well again i think the exception is that there was any prosecution and that there was any sentence. Most soldiers will be wary of risky 12 years in prison that was you know that want to encourage them much more than 30 years in prison sadly i think theres a general understanding that anything you do we war is legal and. An order makes it legal and youre not at any risk for the most part sadly that is true although it is a violation of the principles of of nuremberg under which mean an order does not allow you to commit a crime. Investigative journalist David Johnson thanks very much for coming on to the program to discuss thank you. Now indias poised to become the 1st nation to land on the moon south pole this is whats happening right now at the Indian Center where theyre watching and waiting for their Landing Craft to touch down in a round 15 minutes time and we will of course keep you updated on what happens a rocket carrying the lander has been orbiting the moon for a couple of weeks after taking off more than a month ago you can see those pictures on our screens if it lands successfully. Rover will then be deployed to the as yet unexplored the lunar poles and 145000000. 00 mission is called the people watching this as it happens as you can see on the screen is now live pictures john and i and 2 and hopes to conduct a detailed study of the moons makeup including its topography geology and its to atmosphere known as the exosphere theres just a couple of weeks for the lander and rover to complete their task that theyre not built to survive the cold of the lunar night which lasts 2 weeks although its indias 1st trip to the moon it will become the 4th country to do so after the former 3rd. Union the United States and china and they can see live pictures on your screens right now as to people just watching the return journey theyre looking further into space in one of our shows airing today on r. T. Asking if theres life on laws british cosmologist and astronomer royal martin rees talks to Sophie Shevardnadze about the possibility of living organisms there and future missions to the red planet. And their markets that we could have that provides a decent life for the 7 and a half 1000000000 people in it and at the moment we have a couple of 1000000000 in abject poverty and some people are meant to wealthy and the fact that the richest 2000 people in the world have the resources to double the income of the bottom 1000000000 in the world and this is not happening is an ethical indictment i do think that by the end of a century there will be a few well the crazy adventurers who may be living away from the. Of course they would be ill adapted. To that habitat so they will be the people who will have the incentive. Now the opportunity because their way to the regulators to enhance themselves and adapt themselves so i think if we imagine some species emerging which is different from he would be it will now be those crazy people on mars we now know thats most of the stars in the sky all betrayed by retinues of planets just as the sun is all bitten by the earth the nails of millions and we certainly know that many of those planets are going to be rather like in terms of temperature and insides now and so their potential opposed to life. Or. At Russias Embassy in the United States after a russian executive was detained in italy at washingtons request hes been charged with suspected industrial espionage against an American Aviation Company alexander question of is a director at a key russian engine manufacturer his claim to be conspiring to steal trade secrets with an italian director g. Aviation both men were arrested in naples in southern italy lets take a look at what exactly the men are accused of conspiring and trying to steal intellectual property belonging to g. E. Aviation relating to aircraft engines production the Us Justice Department says caution of hired staff from the company as technical consultants those employees then allegedly filed a report containing sensitive details but they may have putins head out of the u. S. Over the arrest saying it threatens to worsen relations even further. Practical this is very bad practice it complicates our bilateral relations and im not joking we often see no reason for hostile actions of this kind moreover i have every reason to believe that sometimes these actions are connected with unfair competition including in the Aerospace Industry if there is some kind of criminal activity here but its all Law Enforcement agencies that should cooperate. United states has made some of them is before arresting foreign citizens in a 3rd country the chief Financial Officer of chinas tech giant while a was arrested in canada into son of a Power Forward at washingtons request weve been getting reaction from the political ramifications are political. This is obviously. I think all major powers now realize the competition for technological superiority in the future will be so were almost be decisive in major power competition the United States certainly adopts the and america 1st strategy and that are not some illustration and it is more interested in seeking an advantage is position rather. Gauging Economic Cooperation and the expense and not stray investment and so on it emphasizes the fact that high tech is a serious problem for the no stage for china for russia for every country though because everyone is trying to gain actually is to every other countrys high tech and theres a tremendous competition going on and therefore the americans are saying wrote warning everyone you want prayer price if you in fact steal our secrets but from the american board of view its quite difficult for them to prosecute someone. In a 3rd country or gain access to the person who have been who theyre accused of stealing their high tech secrets. Harsh cold climate isnt for everyone but coupled with the regions cheap and action city it turns out its a haven for the 21st century gold rush it is bit to coin a mining. A global currency analyst at the hunger for digital money comes down to trust hes been speaking to max keiser and thats on line now at r. T. Dot com. In crypto and big coing trust is a big word because its trust. Trust isnt needed the transactions are solved verifying you dont need a 3rd party to apply that stamp of approval and in this in this report gold in the age of eroding trust you put coin right up there with gold thats especially gold and because in our together in your view of how to play this collapsing a world of collapsing trust. Yes i think its important to to not neglect generally the Technological Progress which is going on on the crypto currency side generally which is obviously also being followed and tried to being taken advantage of from Central Banks when it comes to bitcoin. I mean this discussion is always interesting one of the riches of bitcoin versus gold gold. Is. Obviously a physically metal its an internal metal its just never dying and bitcoin is a man made system so so that would be one fundamental difference but then again from from a from a term of money bitcoin one can make the argument is even harder money than gold in the medium term so so it would be really an interesting measure of value so i think one needs to follow it closely. A funny thing now ill be back in around 30 minutes time with more update thank you stay with us. As are. Here. This is what happens to pensions in britain. As a report. Im. Ready ready ready ready ready sure theres a need to stop it from continuing to grow. I just never know very good about the idea of bringing children into the world because i didnt feel like things were in very good shape that a life was just going to be a lot of software program. But. Theres no reason the more. You take things that already made the. Nose on the move Something Else that you need to get through everybodys scared to talk about it certifiable is truly dependent on us addressing this issue and if we can even talk about it every chance even have a conversation about it then. Were in trouble ready. When else seemed wrong. Why dont we just dont call. Any. Yet to shape our disdain become educated and engagement equals betrayal. When something a find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground
