google is slapped with a multi-billion dollar fine for spewing user searches and say hacking agreement canada and china shake hands are not hacking each other stand by starts right now. let. a weaker dollar pushed oil prices up for a fourth consecutive session today it surged nearly two percent but oversupply capital gains the organization of petroleum exporting countries and its partners have tried to reduce global crude glut with production cuts opec nations and the love in other exporters agreed in may to extend cuts of one point eight million barrels per day until march two thousand and eighteen russia is set to host an opec

meeting next month when further cuts to production could agreed upon but opec members nigeria and libya are exempt from the cuts and have pushed production on top of this u.s. production has risen about ten percent six since two thousand and sixteen it's now hit nine point four million barrels per day and u.s. oil rigs in operation have hit a three year high with u.s. exports of oil and natural gas surging president donald trump says the u.s. is set to dominate as export of oil gas and coal today u.s. west texas intermediate crude settled at forty four twenty four up two percent international benchmark brant crude futures rose one point eight percent to forty six sixty seven. on tuesday european. indicated the bank is ready to reduce stimulus later this year as you might guess the markets moved quickly upon hearing that the dollar fell point seven percent the euro jumped

one point zero three percent serling also increased point four seven percent energy and bank stocks also warmly accepted this news the dow jones rode rose twenty five point three points and the s. and p. five hundred gained a point six five points at the conference in portugal druggy suggested the eurozone economy is recovering and added quote the threat of deflation is gone and replaced nary forces are at play however he noted that considerable monetary policy is still needed and that suggests of course that any change in stimulus will be gradual and not drastic. here the international monetary fund offers an economic analysis of each of its member states when it comes to the u.s. the fund isn't feeling very positive about this. new joins me now in the studio of

the i.m.f. wasn't singing the same tune few months ago so what happened were it so the i.m.f. was feeling positive about the u.s. economy because they were hopeful to see certain types of policy reform but they're not going to hold those are forms happening so as a result they changed their estimates and they're a little more negative now back in april the international monetary fund projected two point three percent growth in two thousand and seventeen followed by a modest uptick in two thousand and eighteen but just two months later the i.m.f. is offering less optimistic figures the fund is now estimating two point one percent growth in both twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen what's more concerning is the expected fall in growth to one point seven percent and twenty twenty two it's a pretty significant change in just a couple of months but it follows weeks of hyper partisan fights over u.s. health care law so that coupled with doubts over other policies on tax and infrastructure led to the disappointing figures in the report the fund wrote the us economic model is not working as well as it could in generating broadly shared

income growth most critically relative to historical performance post-crisis growth has been too low and too unequal the group also emphasized the looming threat of an overvalued dollar and rising public debt as problems to fix before ensuring stronger growth and of course there is mention of greater challenges that many advanced economies face including major technological changes which have transformed the labor market and productivity the u.s. is also facing an aging population problem which the i.m.f. argues is one of the several factors making it hard to adapt and the result from. that has hurt america's economic outlook the funds researchers wrote these shifts are having real consequences for people's livelihoods household incomes are stagnating job opportunities are deteriorating prospects for upward mobility are waning and the poverty rate is one of the highest among advanced economies the good news is that the i.m.f. does believe the u.s.

can stimulate growth again but only if a comprehensive policy package is created. let's go to the white house now compare this to the white house growth estimates not exactly the same not the same so cording to trump's budget proposal they're expecting or the trumpet ministration is saying we can see three percent growth if they can balance the budget which is obviously a big if right now for a few reasons you know we're looking at what's happening with the health care law right now and congress is incredibly partisan they're not really yeah it is a total crisis so we're not even getting anywhere on that so the idea of balancing a budget right now it is looking rather unlikely for that to happen i don't know what we would need to do if we could just be selling going up before you know it's the end of the year exactly so it's the back of their minds at least right now and then outside of that some other analysts have some questions about how his immigration policies could down the road impact growth because if he wants to make some sort of cuts to immigration immigration or changes that puts into question how

we could really increase our g.d.p. if we're lacking workers because you need lots of workers to increase g.d.p. so you know in addition to the i.m.f. questions about these certain policy proposals and how we're going to get there other analysts are saying can we really get to three percent growth if we're not going to bring in as many people to work here as we did before. anything positive in this report anything good well the one thing the i.m.f. did say in this report is that the economy appears to be full of employment so if you take that with a grain of salt considering they still had appears and are in quotations they couldn't and were going to go in and they were not confident enough to say that we are totally at full employment so there's some question without but still i guess better than nothing they also noted that g.d.p. is twelve percent higher than our pre-recession peak so that's something i guess to be happy about you know overall they did say that they have hope for the u.s.

economy it's not like they're saying this is it we're never going to see growth again there's nothing we can do about it it's just you know the not so positive side is out there are a lot of questions to sort through and a lot of policy proposals that congress would have to pass in order to get to full growth again and we're just we're not there right now i mean i don't know how congress could even approach even an issue like tax considering what's going on as you mentioned recess is coming up i mean they have a lot to get done before they get to the budget but i mean even going to happen exactly they don't care what the i.m.f. says anyway but you never know not with thank you very much. two point seven billion dollars that's the fine slapped on internet giant google by the european union use antitrust regulator fined parent company alphabet incorporated for promoting its one comparison shopping service in search results and demoting rivals here to weigh in on all of lionel media why you know what's

going on here is this move to set precedents of the other internet companies can't do this because you and i both know google is a marketing company now. well not just that that me take borrow from our friends at q v c but wait there's more let's assume lindsay or google and i say to you i'm your lawyer your corporate counsel and you say great what i owe two point seven billion let me write the check not so fast wait there is more they want you to ensure fairness what does that mean that means years of regulation years of oversight here in this country that say a much stop doing this ok fine here is the fix the regulator tells the company this is what you did wrong this is what you need to correct it and that's it not here they have to now face years of regulation so that other competitors feel

a benefit of this how does google do that we don't know then there's going to be the open gets even better the possibility of litigation because as google tries to make good and tries to be a good neighbor and a good partner and to to to do even the planes to speak you're now in essence divulging baze see the potential causes of action for other companies to being private if unfair competition actions against google as well now what a lot of business observers and law professors and american academics familiar with are more dare i say taters sherman antitrust stuff is that the e.u. doesn't understand this new algorithm sense of of industry what does google sell what is it what exactly does it do to fix it if you sell google advertising

and lindsay france as you know a restaurant and i'm going to. being google i'm going to push my people a little higher and then you have to ask yourself this question lindsey what duty what duty does google have to be fair i know that's a crazy idea but it's a cool go don't go but blind old lionel we've got a back up here don't you think google according to what it claims what it markets itself as a supplier of information with paid advertising promoting its own stuff as just your mation when it's not just information it's used to compete what i'm saying is identify yourself for what you are do you think google is really you know staring at honest ship in these waters i don't know what do you think. i am on the side of google and this is what i'm saying i am like the phone book you don't like my vomit

go over there well on saturdays else you don't have to look at your yelp or years of the else but wait there's more now the e.u. says or actually the commission that your peon committee says we also want to look at bundling we're going to look at android we want to see how you you wrap it how you bundle other services people that always wanted to get into the the headphone gear and couldn't we want to now you lay open the anti air google family so to speak the entire organization the operation to make sure that everything is ok and i saw what you did right there and. look if you want to censor me do it the old fashioned way just term i might go but don't do the color guard i want anyway i would never sensor you know i just like to give you a hard time what it is c.n.n. you're citing story made headway but you point is is that this is passive this has no american counterpart is one of the no ads for those of you who need one more reason for braggs it. is well it's interesting i'm going to ask you something else

about google the all popular g.-mail not says it's not scanning your e-mails any longer what do you think of that such as a good faith move pressure from customers what do you think it is. listen do you think for a moment do you believe any of that do you truly believe that anything that you have let's go back again to the legal question being the lawyers who own the g. mail or the jail to me like the google who goes email who owns email who owns it you're using their services and not only that right before you start pointing your fingers have you ever looked at the terms and conditions now anything that i know but i do that on purpose they do it on purpose you know that you do if you do with the telecommunications act of one thousand nine hundred six alone a little separate a loser but just what the government can do and the privacy that you don't have regarding just your i have our own edid and not only that who owns your e-mail

forget google what about your employer what about your service your service provider provider their days of privacy are over with but i understand something and this is the most important thing we never lionel's law the law always lags behind technology what we're seeing right now is we're apply hoary and cobweb the trust provisions to a new algorithm based economy and a and information data system that doesn't have any prior there's no correlation what do you do it's one thing if your chevy or standard oil i got it but i sell information algorithms mail it. you're going to see more private and to trust access cases later on mark my words thanks to this and here's the thing they've got very very scary teams of lawyers that are very very good at beating a bureaucracy i mean they're scary for four answer trust i guarantee you know he was all out of luck love you finish he course are scary thirty is the worst what

i'm saying is for the bureaucracy they're scary as you mentioned be awkward bureaucracy and laws laid behind technology these lawyers aren't so how do you think this could ever bleed over into the united states do you think our culture is just going to kind of push that to the side or could you see these sort of antitrust cases like this huge one do that i mean the fine isn't actually that much for google but it's more that the public relations thing is you know the fines on a problem the public relations nobody's going to want your stand it but what's going to happen is look at two separate ways of handling our country our economy our law our jurisprudence we love tech companies or silicon valley we bend over backwards you're seeing right now a very not only dare i say i don't listen to him and the american that dow come on we know it's an american all over the place just kind of well my view there certainly there is an anti tech version of this and if you go back to how ham fisted and heavy handed look at what they did to ireland as far as back taxes look

at what they did to microsoft soft in two thousand and four with their as well they basically found out that these folks mean business if you're going to have to ask yourself this question lindsey what is the purpose of this is it to flex muscles is it to extend jurisdiction just to prove that you can or is it is is there something behind it how is anybody benefited from this how is anybody truly but if it may go back to what i said initially you don't have a right to google if you don't like google go someplace those outsiders search engines are there so all of that is great you or i could talk about that but it's moved or remember years and years down the road this regulation or this this case is going to be reviewed and google has to prove that they've made it all nice the nice we're out of papers it's all about how nice the nice see. thank you for weighing in with a dose of reality lionel of always a pleasure thank you. time now for

a quick break everybody but stick around because when we get back and the hacking agreement canada and china both agree not to have each other and as they go to break here are the numbers the puzzle the. economic development is all about really pleased to report this quarter we are one hundred six point. two we know about the other figures. when i think about the fact that our c.e.o. mike du made over a twenty million dollars last year more than one thousand times the average wal-mart is says he and with all due respect i have to say i don't think that's right. is that just how

a free market works. people went from pretty simple financial lives pre nine hundred eighty to the point now where people are. just totally submerged in their financial accounts and they're all in debt and what exactly devoid society from the part of the government tried to do that nicely maybe. it might be making things worse. by saying this is not work this is. hopelessly disastrously wrong welcome to maximize are plentiful survival guide. looking forward to the. yanks this is what happens to pensions in britain don't let us. watch kaiser report. while the liberal mainstream media server. endless menu of trump bashing in russia

. investors eyes were cast on london's royal academy today as federal reserve chair janet yellen gave a speech expected to spell out in the near future interest rate hike and other monetary policy in the run up favored in part by an easing dollar gold helped held optimistically steady thanks largely to reforms of the banking system since the two thousand and eight financial crisis yellen does not believe that there will be another such crash in her lifetime as for ours she says we are at least much safer with current reforms in place instead of being unwound this comes as u.s. president donald trump has vowed to cut banking regulation u.s. secretary of the treasury see. newsham has proposed easing up on restrictions big

banks now face in their trading operations yellen also reiterated her view that the u.s. central bank would continue to raise interest rates only gradually gold responded by notching its fourth gain in five sessions and then at twelve hundred fifty dollars as the dollar itself and equities weakened. and the man responsible for the deaths of seventy six people infected with fungal meningitis across the united states has been sentenced to nine years in prison the two thousand and twelve national nationwide outbreak led investigators to the new england compound center by barry caton he's charged with skirting regulations on the surreality of medical steroids given to patients which then infected them at the same time he pushed for higher production of the injection to boost revenue the centers for disease control said initially that the death toll was sixty four as of october two thousand and thirteen but twelve more people have died since then according to prosecutors more

than seven hundred other people were sickened on the heels of the reaction to this outbreak congress did increase federal oversight of such pharmacies to any c.c. filed for bankruptcy protection in order to handle the hundreds of lawsuits filed against it victims and their families want to put away for thirty five years racketeering law by racketeering law he was actually acquitted of second degree murder. canada and china have signed and and say hacking agreement to protect the nations from each other and measure is one of many security issues the countries are working on as their economic relationship deepens artie's alex we have a bitch in toronto with more alex give us the details on this very interesting agreement it's a very interesting agreement indeed carol agreed not to hike each other so when it comes to trade secrets or business information they're not allowed to steal it from

each other because it was somehow permitted prior to this agreement i don't really understand over here let's hear from the prime minister's office itself usually a quote from them and there's a pretty interesting here are the two sides agree that neither country's government will conduct or knowingly support cyber indeed. intellectual property including trade secrets or other confidential business information with the intent of providing competitive advantages to companies or commercial sectors so that says basically we're not going to steal from each other anymore at least not to the government sanctioned if that does happen you know this is actually right now pretty touchy subject you might have heard of norse that it's a satellite company out of bank hoover that china or i should say that canada has agreed to sell to china without very much oversight at all they just said here let's sell this to them that company builds equipment for not only canada in our military but for nato as well so not too many people are really understanding how

this is going so easily just getting tossed to china economically speaking yet the two countries are getting tighter so being one of the deals as well as the tar sands you know there's a lot of chinese money in the oil patch there so yes we're tied that way but this kind of stuff is pretty interesting especially when you're talking about that then you're just saying we're not going to do it anymore and i guess it was ok in the past but now it's not anymore and i just ask you to stay on the hacking agreement or no hacking agreement does it cause you to sort of squint your eyes and tells your head when they say knowingly help that was in quotations on the contract. yeah you know it's just one of those things when you when you look at it as a late ok prime minister's office you're you're saying this is good this is coming out of the horse's mouth so. you know i think a lot of comedians are scratching their heads lakers who was hiking ok was that ok up to now and now we're talking about this cyber security and all sudden these high

level guys that we know that you know governments get away with murder while if you murder somebody in your own the government you're never going to get away with it so it's one of those things now and now somehow this agreement is slated to change everything and everybody could play nicely nicely ok got a lot of them play nice not the first time we've heard that i want to come see this relationship between china and canada there are a number of other issues that beyond cyber security that the two nations hope has happened what's on the short lists what extradition extradition is a big one just because canada does not believe in capital punishment china does so china same please send back our criminals kemah saying we can't do that because you're going to kill them if we do also canada's been critical of china's human rights record but that hasn't doesn't stop us from doing business with them of course side from that one and we know the saudis hold so we do a lot of business with them as well but aside from that you look at something like gangs so organized crime big one on the list triads which is a huge chinese of mafia type gangs they exist obviously in china they exist here in

canada there's been all kinds of stories about that as well as them working with native communities to push heroin from coast to coast packed in with cigarettes so i mean interesting stories when you hear about the triads here also counterterrorism china's been attacked by terrorist can it has been attacked by terrorists well we're going to try to i guess exchange our knowledge of how to fight that and when you look at global security issues such as there's a north korea and syria everybody's got their finger in those games so china wants to see or canada wants to see how it can work more closely with china on those things obviously it really comes down to money again it comes down to business and these type of agreements hey you know it's just pushing forward that's what they're doing and. i guess this seems to be a way of doing it yeah you know i'm noticing a trench i mean justin trudeau wants to make a lot of you know trade agreements with people who sort of seem like they're out in the cold with china obviously canada is trying to grab on to that but do you think this is really the argument that you know china and candid are really tied together by terrorism they've got all of these common interests or do you think this is just

a case where canada needs to up its game and gain an edge what you know it's canada right now i mean it's playing a little bit of a game to secure itself economically just because of what's happening in the states so when you hear that the nafta agreement might be going out the window on that soon is it going is it not going on with what's going to happen china canada for its own purposes has to have tighter relationships with other trade partners so the e.u. being one of course china being another and you know as well as i do the u.s. is very tied to china like it or not when it comes to their economies and trade as well so that's really a part of the game here with as for these agreements i mean we've seen this signed all the time and put into hockey i just i just can't really go over there i'm sorry this is so illegal in the first place so everyone can i think everybody knows no piece of paper is going to do that because hacking is a very powerful tool so i think that china saying this is very interesting. alex and i love it coming out us from toronto thank you so much for that thank you.
