have a very interesting set of circumstances where right before this u.n. ministerial meeting coming up on august thirtieth we have a big orchestrated p.r. event designed to smear the government in damascus and the west intervening in syria and i'm very suspicious i was asked about this shortly after the school massacre and i think we need to wait and see what really happened and there are some indications that much and perhaps most of the killing in the whole atmosphere was actually perpetrated by the rebel forces and the same thing might be true this time the so-called no fly zone of course what that really is this is just a euphemism for an aerial attack on the country and again i'm told that if western countries do try to take over syrian airspace he may very well be shot out of the skies and so i certainly hope they don't try because this is the world to the brink of a very dangerous confrontation next hour to talk to

behind the protest say that they're doing this to gauge the willingness of the islamic community to out here to join the law you've got what you want me so i'm on your all this is not provoke a shooting on the contrary we are testing the propensity of extremist muslims who have built a base here in berlin to respect their laws a spokesperson for germany's islamic community has said they won't be baited into taking action. point out where i go. to ignore these people and we will not organize a concert demonstration that is the right position to take and it is one that will hold there was a reaction elsewhere though in egypt a man tossed four nail bombs into the grounds of the german embassy he said he was incensed by the court's decision to allow the cartoons to be shown in the protest right wing politicians say that while in germany muslims should accept german law obviously. this is not the islam make world we should be able to decide what

sides of the story a word least in principle and yet that's not the premise the u.s. government seems to be sticking to want to comes to telling the truth about its operations overseas and as artie's guided she kind of reports washington has little taste for openness and debate. in the u.s. free speech is protected by law so what can the government do when they don't like what some journalists reveal about them it turns out a smear campaign is one of the options chris woods is co-founder of the london based bureau of investigative journalism the organization to great efforts to report on the deaths of many civilians in cia drone strikes overseas the cia. elements of the u.s. intelligence community chose to attack their work. rather investigate some of the points that we were raising for the particular of the deaths of civilians in several articles including this one in the new york times an anonymous u.s.
1:19 am
government official tacitly accused the journalists of being sympathetic tall kind of let's be under no illusions there are a number of elements who would like nothing more than to malign these efforts and help al qaeda succeed to suggest that in any way only or more a news organization a pure investigative journalism or in any way sympathetic towards al qaida or its goals it is disgraceful i do think those kind of smears indicate the stakes involved the cia remembers claiming that it killed ninety civilians in pakistan for more than a year our reporting the reporting of many of the credible newspapers and academics now simply isn't the case that simply aren't true usa today journalist tom banda burke and ray locker became the subject of a sustained internet campaign to discredit their work just days after they began publishing the results of their investigation into
1:20 am
a multi-million dollar pentagon funded propaganda mission in iraq and afghanistan fake websites twitter feeds and facebook accounts were set up under the journalist's names in which they were accused of being backed by the taliban we tried to contact mr locker but he wrote back saying his editors prefer that he does not do any interviews on the. subject but a smear campaign wasn't the punishment for the prominent yemeni journalist. shying he was the first to report on the u.s. drone strike in yemen which killed fourteen women and twenty one children back in two thousand and nine he's now in jail in yemen upon the request of barack obama himself convicted of having ties with terrorists and what's what's most outrageous for me as a as an american journalist is the role of the u.s. ali abdullah saleh the president of yemen gets a phone call not from john brennan or whatever obama's advisers but from president obama himself and president obama said we're very concerned about the release of
1:21 am
this guy we don't know the full extent of what happened in that phone call with the white house and state department in fact i interviewed the state department admitted that obama in fact said the u.s. wants him to stay in jail here in the u.s. or in the u.k. for that matter journalists are protected by law and it's not easy to put them in jail but there is one way to get back at them try and discredit their work by suggesting they're helping terrorists or the taliban or whatever else one might argue that the label carries out it's becoming an all too convenient for the government to brush off investigative journalism which exposes their flaws and kind of check our reporting from washington. all right danielle straight to the business das can we hearing that goal is glittering these days of course as they say not all that glitters is gold but anyway you've got more of health we have rain it's already near record highs yet the pros who more than double from here according to metals grew to mccutcheon. you have massive amounts of printing right
1:22 am
now that's been sort of very carefully and very well concealed to plug up deficits what people are sinking about any talk with the four thousand five hundred dollar notes argument is when the velocity of money does kick up basically what happens everyone scared take the money of the banks take the money out of different things that investment and keep the money cash they know where it is narratives they misa basically beat the churn over money goes down now once people sort of see there's lots and lots of printing money into the system to get money to move around in the build new businesses and everything else once they start to kick in and the velocity of money kicks up but they printed so much money in the past three years that when the velocity does kick in the effect it has is much bigger because that much more money out in the system and that's where you can get the gold price of gold. but as i understand gold prices have been mostly driven up only by the belief that base is as safe as it is about the ultimate bubble to say that it's
1:23 am
a bubble it's pretty hard because we talk about the total amount of assets invested in gold globally it's minuscule very very few people actually have gold in their investment portfolios very people very few people have gold is there gold mining shares or gold related stocks in their overall investment portfolio and so that this doesn't smell like a bubble a bubble is when people take out margin one hundred to one to buy an internet stock that they don't know anything about has no revenue no earning and who knows you it's been around for two months it's not a bubble if you're buying for cash gold not on margin and sticking it in your safe that's not a bubble and that's more that represents more of the gold market today than any sort of public stock has happened. chinese shares of hit multi-year lows off the wench of bell said exports as a whole by weak global demand the euro business changing a bit to the dollar and the ruble finished mixed on friday will have new rates when most of the markets reopened notably is thirty minutes time we'll see how results shares react off to the world's top i mean your make up swung into
