go to private hospitals and you know, get them sort of seen too. so the national hospital is a massive building. you see behind me one of the main buildings, the main entrance here. i mean, these are places where people come from far and wide seeking various services, day to day clinics, a diabetic go treatment of one clinics. you know the works and they don't have the money to seek private medical care. so they have to make the journey year buses are marching argentina's capital, furious about i deal with the international monetary fund, the governments and talks with the ins on how to pay back billions of dollars. reasonable reports from foreign affairs. ah, they came to express their anger about the negotiations between argentina and the international monetary fund with thousands of people in front of the presidential palace, demanded the government to prioritize the people. instead of the i. m. f, cortez. the media has been a lawmaker for years and years ago, but america, but the government is renegotiating the agreement and they know they won't be able

to pay it. and in 2 years we will have the same problem. we cannot pay back to that amount of money without strangling the poorest. in 2018, the i m f. granted the government of audi, seal markley, their biggest loan in its history, over $50000000000.00. argentina says it needs to recover from the pandemic and wants to pay back once the economy starts growing again. i think it was the 2nd agreement with high inflation rates. i see the government is hoping to announce a 2nd level agreement in the next month before sending it to congress. people here are extremely concerned about the impact that the agreement will have in their lives. are amina, when seen, he says, she's not concerned about the i m f, but about argentina's economy. inflation is expected to surpass 50 percent this

year. the mileage thus young at the inflation is affecting a small commercial business, is because of the prices. today. you have $1.00 price the next day, another the dollar increases and it has an impact and inputs and transports. we are scared and it paralyzes us. we just want the uncertainty to and one economy say, an agreement with the i m f is crucial to prevent argentina from being isolated from international financial markets. not been. yeah, i'm with child. got beer of argentine has no option. it's either agree with diana, or default to young men, to default is to re live the christ of 2001. and nobody wants to be in the situation again. and that's why an alternative is better than a default. we see an agreement is a positive step if it hops, argentina increases central bank reserves and stabilize the economy. ah, but these people are not convinced they say the i m f measures have hurt them in the past. and they fear it could happen again. that is, i will,

is extremely weak for employees in the private sector. so what there is one law, the national labor relations act that covers all private sector labor law throughout the entire united states. and that law is antiquated. it was passed in 1935, and there hasn't been any meaningful labor law reform in favor of workers since that time. so it allows, for example, for long delays. before employees get an election, it allows the employer to engage in a lot of tactics into union tactics against employees. and then even if the employees, when the remedies under the statute are very weak. so for example, the 6 employees, if they're terminated and that fills out the labor movement at that particular

store, that the employer faces very, very low low remedies which it can easily pay. the rest of the hospital wife accuse of laundering billions of dollars worth of crypto currency. more than 119000 bitcoin was stolen and a hack of crypto exchange. but for next in 2016 prosecutor say some of those funds were transferred to the couple's digital wallet. u. s. department of justice says it has recovered most of the coins. the message to criminals is clear. crypto currency is not a safe haven. we can and we will follow the money, no matter what form it takes. she returns he has more from washington, d. c. for the dear j was about with justice. it was clear that they really wanted to get that message across. that no matter what people may have heard bitcoin, and other cryptic currency is traceable by their investigative, that it is not

a safe space for, for crime. the crypt currency space is something that they are there opportune up to monitoring. so look, looking at this case then 2016, we have a virtual currency exchange called bit 5 x, which is where people go to buy bitcoin using dollars and convert bitcoin and into dollars that was hack into and $71000000.00 worth of bitcoin were taken now, the reason why these enormous figures being turned around today, a $4500000000.00 and $3600000000.00 is the value of bitcoin has, has grown so greatly and that 5 year period. so about $71000000.00. that's worth $4500000000.00 of which the d r. james recovered $3600000000.00 to what they're trying to do it and as restore confidence encrypted currency as a place where if, if your money's next, if someone's trying to steal your your crypto currency, there are tools that i was looking for. so i can use to try and try and recover it

. and in fact, just just to the previous, we can, i saw that a cryptic currency. a company have $4400000.00 worth of, of bitcoin stolen just a few days ago. ancient sites and gaza of being restored. many of the locations have been abandoned for years because of repeated fighting for an archaeologist working alongside palestinians to train them to protect the historical sites in the fade reports from gaza. because it's stripped as small in area. but it's teeming with ancient, tells an artifact that confirm its historical importance. but israel's repeated attacks, as well as a lack of interest in or college here, has had a negative impact on tourism and antiquities in the stress. now after years of delay, foreign restoration missions are returning not just to rehabilitate the sites but also to train dozens of palestinian students in the field of restoration and are
