few weeks there's been folks you see sometimes i think it's folks these who hate the palin who was screaming at julian's execution this is somebody who is not for the war and has done nothing more than any good in this egregious we do to be complicit in this one doing good for. the whistleblower as been holed up in ecuador's embassy in london for over six weeks now the decision on assigned his asylum request is expected in ten days he's wanted in sweden oversexed lionel additions by the police there just a pretext to hand over to the u.s. to face trial over the massive leak of secret files scott horton from harbors magazines as even if he gets asylum he won't be out of the woods. to me it's hard to understand how the ecuadorians are going to play this but even if they decide to
8:16 am
grant his request for asylum that doesn't mean he would be able to walk out of the embassy go to heathrow and fly to ecuador he would still be held there you'd only be able to transfer out with some sort of consent from the u.k. government and i don't think that will be forthcoming without some sort of agreement from the swedish government so it's diplomatically very very thorny and setting up a scenario in which doing the song may be a guest in close quarters in the ecuadorian embassy for many years the question with australia is one that. been in the background for many many years in fact if you look through the history of the war on terror you find a number of australian citizens who were seized by the united states who were mistreated some tortured some held in impossible conditions and one time tomorrow and the australian government was we mark a bully quiet about all of this not really not only not intervening but sometimes

which could hit the industry even worse while global commodities expert jim rogers explains. the world has been consuming more than it's been producing for a decade now so we don't have much food left but worse we're running out of farmers the average age of farmers in america is fifty eight in japan it's sixty six in australia is fifty eight normally when prices go up a lot of farmers far more of the expand their crops etc but the problem is the number of farmers is going down and the world cannot have that reaction that it normally does but one for jimmy inventories to getting lower but if things keep out the inventories disappear and eventually there's no food at any price because there's no no farmers left. secular what's happening on the market starting with russia and the fact that the creative industries in the united states the most in seven months have driven prices that are basically high and on the back of the
