found guilty of embezzlement turned down in the ring and his second trial. and when the grass was greener. white people in the balkans are getting a star prosperous past in the late twentieth century. the united states may be a nation deep in debt but you'd never guess with stores touring in the takings but it's the credit card firms are making a killing shoppers weighing heavy on the plastic. and that reverend billy man with a mission to break the american addiction to shopping. another truck. stops.

what styles and new must have items of the fashion world changes fast as the seasons but one thing that never goes out of style in the us is shopping america is the birthplace of modern consumerism nowhere else in the world do people buy more than here with officially more shopping malls in the u.s. than high schools if i didn't spend enough money on sunglasses like of molly save for college and things like bad very few actually admit to an addiction is a dora does exactly what. the problem is way to twenty five things we do we need for a new dose of jackets sweaters and skirts she considers herself a shopaholic how many pairs of shoes do you have. so hundreds the urge to possess has taken over men to statistics see men and women compulsively shop equally in the

us nowadays i'm actually excited about spencer runs during the last couple of years i've seen i think one hundred thousand dollars on clothes. while these numbers are simply unimaginable for millions of americans only a few are putting up a very loud fight against consumerism. reverend billy says a credit card exorcism on the entire nation is what can cure america fifteen million americans are addicted to shopping but many more americans fifteen million shop too much stuff like his main life mission is to chase away the shopping devil by putting on act in churches and shopping malls around the country because across the purpose of the exaggerations is to make americans see their flaws use of the splash trick. too much money. a consumer. it's

a church but controls us it's a fundamentalist church like the roman catholic church in the fourteen hundreds these desperate times normally accept my credit card limit every mom could be calling for desperate measures like spells and exorcisms the things that glitter in the wind does all that appeal to you since more often than not in the us legally the majority of people have too much month left at the end of the money the average american is said to generate over fifty tons of garbage by the time they are a senior with millions buzzing around new york stores this holiday season it's hard to tell who is doing it responsibly and who is completely out of control because of shopping not considered a mental disorder there are dozens of there are people and clinics in the big apple for those who are willing to admit they have a problem an indication of no lessons learned even after the big crash of a recession and stacy tripping up artsy. told ought to be

able to afford luxury goods to have cash in the bank and what else has to turn to credit. the media has been you know suggesting this is been a great christmas you know cause you know the amount of money span has gone way up but actually when you break it down you see that the biggest items that have been sold are luxury items which are going to people who can afford them because of the distribution of wealth in our country where the rich have the money to spend then the poor don't secondly a lot of people who have gone into bankruptcy no longer have debts so they now have more money to spend and the second thing is people aren't paying on their mortgages so they apply that money to buying and shopping but you know at the end of the day it catches everyone in a big net and they're trapped in this whole situation which is getting worse for most americans and unfortunately you know our media which is part of the you know hype for consumerism isn't also doing

a very good job of explaining all this to people warning them about what they're getting into and as a result people find themselves spending more spending more money that they then they have an ending up with bills they can't afford to pay. and the banks appear to have money to burn later max keiser looks at why one major u.s. bank he's using its dollars to buy its way out of the name calling. now a new back in the news major financial carrier is tearing up the global economy for a few quick but it's a big of america herbert tell me more yes max kaiser bank of america is in the news the first headline i have to read is just his sterile they're planning on major chaos coming major anger from the peasants coming regarding their shenanigans because the first headline reads wow bank of america bought sucks and blows u

fourth failed reading the verdict in the second trial of the former oil tycoon mikhail khodorkovsky is getting underway sentencing is expected on friday of course kenyan day's business popular found guilty of or an investment in money laundering both men are coming to the end of a previous jail term for tax evasion and fraud parties or covers are affairs across departments. therefore as far as their country of sentencing is expected tomorrow where some of the concerns that really think it might pass into the new year. if indeed harry that of course is the big question today outside the courthouse where i'm hoping that he and his former colleagues. are still listening to their verdict and of course many already wondering what their the verdict will be announced in full before for the year two thousand and ten runs out of course he's already saying that the verdict could be read well into january of next year we know that

there are fourteen files in total the verdict itself around three hundred pages each and the other judge so far has read around the world where hundreds of pages a day so it may well take him more to read the entire verdict and of course the part that everybody's waiting for now exactly how much how long of a dozen sentences will think that that's going to have a difference is in the last part of the verdict so everybody eagerly waiting to see what will happen today how the court. will proceed and whether the verdict will actually be read out until today or what the readings will continue into tomorrow for today is the fourth day the fourth consecutive day of the verdict being read and security is has been tightened around the poor house the road has been blocked there is quite a significant police presence around the courthouse some journalists which are.

being allowed into the courthouse we know that in the first days of the reading there was some of this understandings between. the law enforcement officers here and in the courthouse and journalists not everybody was allowed back in and after the lunch break not everybody was left with not everybody was allowed back in so we're just waiting to see what exactly happens today we will of course the. he be updated with new information as soon as we get it there's a lot of interest in this of course in france that this is the second trial for his former business partner while they already behind bars was about ground so that. only kills about blood money a visit for a originally convicted in two thousand and five all for tax evasion and fraud and they were serving a nine year sentence which was later reduced to eight years knows a year's worth almost up when prosecutors initiated a second trial this time charging the two men with

a theft over over twenty billion dollars worth of oil of course the defense attorney claimed those. allegations and accusations were ridiculous because it was that very difficult and lived as if have been found guilty of stealing that they were actually charged with not paying taxes on in their first trial and that defense is part of the overall defense strategy that at the defense attorneys are planning to use in their appeal they have already said that they are planning to appeal this latest sentence and if it doesn't happen inside the country they are planning to take it arts outside russia and take it to the european court but so far of course we the only thing that we do know is that for the second time call for that and blood going to be different have been found guilty and the prosecution originally asked for fourteen years of prison time and those that time would start from the time that the first trial began which was in two thousand and three so if

the judge does agree with the prosecution's wishes and give those two men fourteen years behind bars they will be released in twenty seventeen. his case has always stood outrage in the west briefly what's the reaction been this time. well ever since the political ski trial began many in the west claimed that it was a politicized case and it wasn't. basically it was basically pressurised by some people in the russian government to make sure that he stays in prison for as long as possible of course those claims have always been refuted by the russian prosecution who say that they've always done everything by the book and according to the law but in this latest conviction we already know that the united states has expressed concern saying that this isn't a very good. sign for russia and russia is the image in the west germany has also

expressed concern stating that this is a step backward the guilty verdict in the call for the latest trial the russian foreign ministry of course saying that everything has been done according to the law by the law and that no other government has the right to interfere in russia's legal proceedings and that everything of course including everything concerning the trials and tribulations of me. has been done in accordance with the law and by procedure. ok are to your country is out of a in moscow thank you. well that is more reaction i do not assess on that story. we're covering just a click away today frosty frustration across moscow interests about the greens at ports and roads to reforms continue one of the sides with thousands on the stands. in for the thousands of exotic animals part of breaks out in the russian travelling
