at least four people are killed in a suspected suicide bombing in the afghan capital kabul near the u.s. embassy revocations of that coming up. texas residents flee those devastating floods there's been a shocking response from some trump opponents who it seems are less than sympathetic towards the plights of this mostly republican state. to. belgium demands compensation from israel after six e.u. funded schools bulldozed in the west bank. and the u.s. sanctions against venezuela take hold but it's goldman sachs's managed to dodge the

restrictions. plowed billions into the country's state oil company. hi good morning eleven am tuesday morning here in moscow my name's kevin zero in first breaking news let me tell you about the latest developments there from kabul at least four people have been killed in the explosion in the center of that city this morning a suspected suicide bombing hit an area near the u.s. embassy and a number of other diplomatic buildings local journalists tell me a bit more. we know from kabul police. suicide attacker who had explosives in his backpack was identified by a guard at the new kabul bank almost twenty to thirty meters from a suit square a little bit more from the u.s.

embassy would sexually quite forty five and have really protected and he managed to detonate explosives this was a very crowded area this is a main draw people who are waiting to get paid ahead of the eat mostly government soldiers in the initial stages kabul police believe there was one or more suicide attacker who could have got inside the bank obviously that would have been a very deadly attack if that had indeed happened and this is an area that is very much central there's a lot of security outside of the u.s. embassy the actual u.s. embassy is quite well protected and a lot of the transportation for u.s. diplomats and officials is by helicopters because they fear that these sort of attacks the people of afghanistan don't feel safe in cities in villages in districts in the highways and unfortunately i think that's the challenge for the

afghan government and its western allies to really deliver on providing security because if you look at the timing of all this this blast comes just a week after donald trump announced his new war strategy for afghanistan we will also expand authority for american armed forces to target the terrorist and criminal networks that's so violence and chaos throughout afghanistan well the president's new plan provides no time frame for a withdrawal of those administration hinted a boost in troop numbers he chose to keep the exact numbers secret he did also the reveal he wants nato allies to throw more troops and more money into the pot as as well. told you last couple of days. martin j a hello martin sort of put you behind me first after today's blast where it was kabul to see many deadly attacks how is it possible given the high security there. well i have to take you to task on the recent high security and that's really always been the problem in kabul we tend

to think from the t.v. pictures that we watch every day with a convoy of convoys of foreign troops and the contingents of various governments armies but done in fact it's one of the most dangerous cities in the world and if you spend time with us generals that as i did in two thousand and eight you will find that the number one gripe or list of a lot of complaints is the embarrassment and humiliation of american soldiers actually not being able to control kabul this is key to any future strategy that trump may believe he can roll out is to secure but it's it's a pretty tough nut to crack i can assure you yes so many lives lost so much money spent and the situation seems to continue to be this is a link between tribes announcement that we're talking about just now it is new and to tell about the strategy of that incident today i protest. you know i definitely think there is a link there's no question about that i mean organizations like the taliban or i

still in afghanistan sometimes called i ask a these organizations don't send e-mail they send messages like this and there's no question there's a link to what trumps just recently announced with a new program in afghanistan but you mentioned earlier. the support he's looking for that's also a significant factor we haven't seen the numbers of formally the big guns of nato non nato members line up and who supported george w. bush in the bottom before those countries around the world have not joined trump so i think that's also significant but there's something else you've got to look at as well is the trumpets made here. has pinpointed one of the big problems that his campaign will confront which is the role of pakistan he's threatened pakistan to withdraw one billion dollars of aid if it doesn't get into line and his own government forces don't crack down on the afghanis and taliban pakistan taliban

on the border and that's key to really winning anything so if that was to happen if the pakistani government actually did crack down on the on the taliban on the border you can assume that the pakistan taliban would be much more galvanizing much more supporting of the afghani campaign in afghanistan against u.s. coalition forces so i think there could be a message in the attack against american cities are going to do so many irons in the fire they're out there you talked about the frustration of the u.s. troops just now another feel they've got nowhere let's talk about the frustration of the afghan people have to live with this day in particular in kabul as you say were the most dangerous cities in the world we went out to the streets talked to a few people let's listen. uncrowded you quoted you could on american and afghan forces carry out operations at night sometimes their intelligence reports are inaccurate civilians including women and children get killed. there was a doctor is a horse who is hit by a drone strike and another man was on his way home when he was killed. while we

look at the us operation into the house and saw a schoolboy they shot him dead later they said they had killed a taliban fighter before they left they blew up the entire building. just a snapshot a life as we sit here you sit where you odds are to take it in and you see one of these places first on yourself you know mostly negative do they have every reason to be negative to be. yeah that we've got the whole ideology is cured you know we always made the mistake in the past in believing that the taliban were similar to to isis in iraq or syria and that's a mistake that trumps making right now you know ideologically speaking there is no comparison the taliban are not considered to be a foreign enemy of extreme is the best most people consider the taliban to be a sort of benign weird ideology that helps poor people in the villages in the urban areas you know and that's

a huge part of of the country so it's you can hardly blame people for having this resentment and hatred for the americans they consider america and the whole u.s. coalition forces to be a sort of foreign occupation i think that's that's really the crux of the problem that we're going to face in the future in afghanistan martin thanks for now says news comes of this one of the explosions hit a bank in the central kabul thanks you time. other news this morning at least eight people have reportedly died now in those devastating floods in the u.s. state of texas that is still being pounded by tropical storm harvey small chink of. light is being downgraded from a hurricane is little comfort it's affected hundreds of thousands of people the city who stood as one of the worst hit floodwaters are expected to continue rising is the warning the damage from the storm is still to be assessed but already it's being compared to hurricane katrina back in two thousand and five president trump

said to head to texas to be briefed on relief efforts imminently but sidewall this shockingly though the disasters for given a political angle one twitter users praised the floods was their heart for cleansing texas of racists as they put it others a jubilant the trump supporters could be affected some said voting republican could have brought this on texas wow political analyst charles alltel told us that in the face of the tragedy the nation should be united not divided texas first of all is not a state that is one hundred percent white by any stretch the imagination there is a large minority hispanic population there is a large minority black population in texas this is a natural disaster it has caused untold suffering we still don't know how much damage is down there yet you know this is a time where people should really be coming together blaming a natural disaster of somebody because his or her political view views is stupid

basically i was here in new york on september eleventh two thousand and one the outpouring of love and support and true help from around the world not just from the united states to this rich city of manhattan was spectacular that's what houston needs us what texas needs and we certainly don't need lessons from suppose of leftists that are really just hateful it's hate speech it's horrible. the first seven months of donald trump's presidency see the support slashed by a fifty can reveal but if you thought the democratic party were making gains on that colored mopin has some surprises for you. only seven months into his term and already trump is being labeled the most unpopular president in all of american history so you'd think that the democrats would be riding high given the focus and volume of trump bashing i've seen it over and over again i think he's the most deplorable person i've ever met in my life he's not he lives a lot. he says things that aren't true that's the same as lying are u.s.

presidents behavior make i mean as as you point out it's sort of shocking but not surprising turns out that for a lot of americans opposing donald trump does not equal supporting the democratic party at this point only forty two percent of the u.s. public has a favorable view of the democrats and this is translated into fund raising difficulties in july the democratic national committee only raised three point eight million dollars that's the worst july fund raising they've had in over ten years and at this point polls show that for many americans it seems like the democratic party is just all about opposing trump. the democrats have a message a message beyond dump trump you know an actual policy message we decided to ask folks here in the democratic party stronghold of new york city the policy proposals . i mean specifically. i'm not sure now.

nothing comes to mind nothing now. now. can you tell us one policy proposal the democrats have put forward in twenty seventeen. peach. like hating trump is enough for the democrats to to win on. now i mean they have to have something to back it up be in trouble something is the stupidest thing you could have actually you've got to come up with something come up with solutions to the country they don't have a message they have a message that trump is evil and anybody who supported trump is evil and frankly that doesn't sell i do. i think most americans think of themselves in those terms even if they don't particularly like trump and i think the democrats are coming across as having no ideas no solutions betraying their traditional working class base in favor of identity politics and it's not doing them any good it appears that fueling anti trump sentiments is not really a solution for the democrats if they want to win the voters trust they need to

emphasize what they stand for not just what they stand against caleb happened r.t. new york. belgium's demanded compensation from israel itself the israeli authorities raised six e.u. funded schools in a village near bethlehem last week the children now have to study in tents or outside as the soldiers came and started shooting in the air throwing grenades at people and then they started destroying the school and as i feel so sad that our school has been destroyed. i am so upset because the reason our school and i've studied so much one day i want to become an engineer as we've already mentioned the cabins which were meant to serve a schools were donated by the e.u. as well as all the necessary educational equipment to a lot of input there the main aim of the project was to provide local children with an opportunity to get an education nearer home but now after all this the nearest schools an hour's walk from where they live or belgium one of the countries behind

the educational project condemned the destruction for a start saying the move by israel is an acceptable thing that the project was to quote meet humanitarian needs was continue the quote in keeping with international humanitarian law a correspondent paul asli it went direct there to check out what's been happening. the night before the new school year started israeli bulldozers arrived here on the outskirts of the palestinian city of bethlehem to demolish seven caravans at recently been erected as a school for some one hundred bed when students from the area now this was one of fifty five schools in the area that had recently been given a demolition orders but the difference here was that the demolition order came the same night that the school was destroyed there was sound bombs there was tear gas and the solution has been this tent that was put up to try and accommodate at least some of the children so they could hold classes. when there is a strong wind we get cold we have classes in direct sunlight some of us might get

sunstroke and get sick and one gets cooled or people get ill too creditor heck middle of the love to believe in the kids from our village were so happy when they had a school and when it got destroyed they were very upset the kids used to love going to school they were so enthusiastic about it and now they're asking all the time why do i have to study in a tent the children need water bathrooms and there's nothing like this in this so-called school the situation inside the tent is extremely cramped there are four classes that are happening simultaneously now and most of the students are not in care they've been sent to a school that is around ten kilometers away and as you can well imagine it is a far distance for children this age to look and many of them say along the way they are often accosted by sitters according to the no we generate from council in the first quarter of this should call cases of schools like this being destroyed by

the israeli army post here r.t. to put ideas outside bethlehem. asked the israeli officials direct for comment and judging by the response we got they said the schools were quote built without the required planning permits from the israeli authorities the. fact is being presented to is the main reason the behind the demolitions to be totally on a member of the fatah revolutionary council told us there is indeed a shortage of not only schools but also hospitals and housing all because of israel's reluctance to give palestinians construction permits this time we're talking about three schools but these are not the first three schools our hospitals . suffer from the same thing our economy suffers from suffocation israel has by international law the responsibility of building schools they do not build schools. and at the same time there are give permits to build schools. nor nor houses we have shortage in hospitals because israel doesn't give permits to

build hospitals and at the same time they are building freely on our land schools for israeli settlers who are illegal colonial sellers on our land and they're free to build their schools coming up german police say they fold a plot to kill left wing politicians we've got a live report on the after this break. here's what people have been saying about redacted and. the only show i go out of my way to. really packed a punch. is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same. apparently better than. the c. . heard of love back to the night president of the world bank paid.

seriously send us an e-mail. dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle. to stop spreading tell you to be gossiping please let. me tell you i'm not pulling out. all the hawks that we along. with what. seems security services in germany now saying they foiled a right wing plot to kill leftist politicians authorities say there was already

a detailed hit list let's get latest on this from europe correspondent peter all of a paper tell us more how far along was this plot and how big a threat was it. well it does seem like the plot was moving along at some form of pace avesta gate is a found what have been called in some media kill lists in properties that were searched belonging to the two men who were detained one of those who've been detained is a serving police officer in the northeastern state of mecklenburg. in the very far north east of germany on the baltic coast there in a statement from the prosecutor general they said that the two men were talking in web chat rooms about the failed refugee in migrant policy of angular merkle they also talked about the death of an economic collapse and that there was an increase

in terror activities in germany because of anger merkel's policies also that they were preparing for the collapse of the state they'd stockpiled weapons we know that they'd stockpiled food as well as ammunition for those weapons now the policy that the men were raging against is. understood a bigger part also prosecutors saying that they belong to an extreme far right group it's still being investigated up the moment but the policy that they're raging against that policy of open door to refugees and migrants that was started back in twenty fifteen is the policy that is so intrinsically linked to german chancellor angela merkel and i think also we have to look at this case in reference to a previous case earlier this year back in may because this case involves a serving police officer back in may we saw a serving soldier in the german army being arrested and accused of having posed as

a refugee in an attempt to carry out a terror attack and pin that on refugees he had also cited angular merkel's policies as reasons or it's understood that where they were the reason. behind him carrying this out but certainly a shocking case in which we are hearing from investigators that it there was a plan to carry out a kidnap and kill left wing politicians those killis were drawn up and they had stockpiled weapons so it seems that the plan was quite far along indeed here seems like a close call peter of our europe correspondent thanks for the update next. hour of political leaders across the globe have slammed the u.s. sanctions just imposed on venezuela last week the actions being branded a financial blow and a violation of international law or monday the chinese foreign ministry shared beijing's reaction to the news the experience of history shows that outside interference or you know after all sanctions will make the situation even more

complicated and will not help resolve the actual problem the u.s. sanctions applied friday target any financial deal struck with president doers government as well as with the venezuelan state all company experts say the sanctions could send the country down an economic spiral and cause rampant inflation however one multinational investment bank we can reveal has managed to dodge the restrictions it's goldman sachs it is said to be the only company on the list that's exempt after its controversial decision to buy recently almost three billion dollars worth of the bombs in venezuela's oil company was back in may the move was seen as an attempt then to supply fresh funds to media as government but goldman sachs has denied those allegations saying nope they made the investment because they believed in the brighter future for the country professor of latin american studies daniel schorr though is convinced that the financial elite pulling the strings. you know how hypocritical that the u.s. government is supposed to be clamping down on me as well or one of the largest u.s.

banks in. sask continue to do whatever. their profit margin is the front page news stories in the mainstream media always seek to demonize any country this is sovereign outside of the us so you see these banks circumventing the sanctions because they can profit off of venezuelan markets open as well and day it shows today who's in truly interim in the us economy the banks and the billionaires are the ones that are surely controlling us carl really is in the president's party spoke exclusively to venezuela's foreign minister about the tension between the countries right now he believes that it's the opposition in venezuela that's to blame for the new us sanctions. the most natural reaction of international organizations like the un would be to recognize that the solvency of our country must be respected curb attempts of interfering into the internal affairs of

venezuela and refrain from adopting a policy of you new lateral sanctions that violate the principles of international law. so that you understand what kind of opposition we have they have been lobbying going to washington to achieve those sanctions against venezuela no they are trying to convince the people of venezuela that the sanctions are the fault of president maduro this is completely absurd and the world must know this. donald trump's delivering on a campaign promise his administration is going to impose visa sanctions on four countries for refusing to take back their own citizens many are in the u.s. illegally or facing deportation of a criminal charges one of the countries in question is cambodia it's agreed to receive just thirty four deportees and even then few were returned home recently jacqueline verger explains what might be behind this latest spat. cambodia is a state that rarely makes the global headlines but that could all be about to change given that stinging criticism for america recently it comes after the u.s.

state department's comment on the country's state of democracy the united states government is deeply concerned by the deterioration in cambodia's democratic climate in recent weeks two months ago cambodia received widespread recognition for running transparent peaceful local elections in the past two weeks however the achievement has been eclipsed by troubling government actions curtailing freedom of the press and civil societies ability to operate cambodians are well aware of what a democratic process means you do not need to tell us what it is we wish to send a clear message against the us embassy that we defend our national sovereignty and here's what might have brought about this war of words cambodia recently expelled an ngo from the country is that receives funding from washington they fishel reason given was tax evasion problems began for the national democratic institute when the organisation was accused of working with the main opposition party in cambodia there are n.g.o.s who also will want to create

a color revolution and topple the government like they have successfully in other countries so why is the u.s. even interested in cambodia well it may have something to do with the fact that the come bodhi in government has begun to take a more anti-american line counseling financial and military aid from the u.s. and turning to china for assistance instead and cambodia isn't the only southeast asian country pivoting towards china the outspoken president of the philippines explained his change in foreign policy when it comes to the us you know. and they hope this debate is good would have been a belief with you why because western were. evil and never have been a. bilby so. and alliances like this one aren't sitting well with washington that had served the philippines just so angry he leaves for china he's now negotiating with china we've been to the philippines practically for

ever a very important strategic ally and what happened was china and russia are probably going to take it america's loss it's fast becoming china's gain while the u.s. just continues to criticize those pivoting away from all the alliances time the seeders understand that. the site is a good relationship with the united states as well trying to be allies is that you have states cept that is so tiny hopes to even be able to send is so as the best option mr blair as the best friend will come by awarding interfering in the mesquite affairs of bolivia in contrast to the western countries. i'm kevin i do keep track of the developments this morning kabul plus the central part of the city this left at least four dead and on line for most follow the escalating tensions on the korean peninsula to the north. just

a few of the stories to follow today choose day the twenty ninth of august. oh they are already. welcome to the wonderful blood donation. every three weeks to get my transfusion to be specific i receive in. my body gets. produced. around

the world giving blood is seen as a symbol of generosity. because it helps people it's just that one of the side effects is that it. applies more. to put money on your car we. have plasma based drugs today come from private companies and are produced from paid plasma as well. and. one of the risks of pay donation. is proof that the frequency of pathology is is much higher paid. if i was. over two years old he would go over. in the money using this approach and who runs the blood business. and i say that a million of its into it and do note and then we'll feature not

a little not at the least a new level but i see the endemic didn't slowly vote gentlemen illinois. is a good president it had chemical cause this is. normally valid going oh my god so lost in the midst of. metal is really chilly jim but i'm an old pro publica jevon who came in to. say that it will do for. now but that it will put hill in it if one doesn't push it to miss it at a level that it was too little magical the only great that she can it was that that this gentleman thing as well is that the meat may soon create a dealership if you go post master because if you say no but i don't let it go to the room you eliminate idea. that there's a lot of the said snow you have them will know when your not to be nice the more in fact is that if the check that goes into the center. is a good as language that if they changed to a db and got to. your kid they look in your nipple because they legit think it

will be a good always the unreliable have to mean list be a get zero emission defect. get it did it get it cause assuming that is that the men are content and this randomness. was strictly imposed with the fiscal compact once this treaty enters into force its aspects will be deep and long lost by signing all of you commits to bring a strong fiscal rule into your natural legislation. at the constitutional level among the strong fiscal adjustments there is also in the so-called balanced budget. that will mr. it was not english if you still. believe it but agent and shill a is not automatically. voted on it was for sale.

would have amended its constitution at the request of the european union. yes indeed a balanced budget would give priority to price stability. pushing aside the right to work the right to health and the right to a decent wage for example. it will have a binding f that's a nice permanent counter this strong we're selling trades by each and every one of you as you go its debts and deficits is important in itself it helps prevent a petition of the sovereign debt crisis you know all that has to convince your columnists and voters that this treaty is an important step to bring to your own back into safe waters. a cooperative is based its mission precisely on those rights that

a balanced budget questions and over the years it is given work to almost three hundred disadvantaged people. is one of them. that they rather run. every morning he wakes up at five and it takes three hours to get into his workplace. different than. ten years ago she's second wife again. tools that will she or i don't see were unlucky for them they will come. to fareed be. sure you know.

if. that same afternoon communicates to the shareholders yet another piece in. all the banks said to cooperate if you know what to do and fax this to future which must be capitalized. tell me i did yesterday she said he wanted to be on that i think everybody. in the city. says. that this is going to. be going to. the.

economy off i bought it and. that is how money that is. if you. will if. you're. so. good. that you know that i would if i continue on to. that so they said that i would know that it i think. became one that got me. up at the whistles it thought it. you know month two people see that i woke up to check call they came out thank. goodness you know.

me have a beer or are those who are late to will receive. said here look there's a. commission. that there are they. figured out for. their research for their. welfare is this french game to save lives you have to lose a lot of my beef. is this the reason why nobody wants to play not getting.

many europeans are asking themselves is why the austerity policies are being followed despite the severe harm that they have caused to the one hundred thousand since the truth be considered is that the consequences are actually quite acceptable to the decision makers so one of the consequences is to weaken labor slowly dismantle the welfare state social democratic. a tree provision. europe's great contribution to modern civilization. do you need to develop in

a state of it. that is. the green. you know it would. be and. if it is true that blind economic dog mice is building a society that humiliates then we could stand a protecting that maybe it's doing even worse pitting against each other turning some victims into oppressors are victims that are weaker than that but who could judge this kind of execution cannot settle on man oh. maybe he got. out as an. adult saw that on about that by now that yeah ok.

so the. reason i got this out of. the funk that you. faison gentleman the vice president. very pleased to welcome you to our press conference. who will now report on the outcome of today's meeting of the governing council. good enough that you need dorsey because of the hour and a been fun but then add to that observer man you're going to carry all of it can never compare to see go to the american president to call a career that matthew. famously almost found with him over the matter you know a comparative in the lock to go to carry all of the need for a third of

a. truth i mean what are we worrying about then why can't we just spend spend spend spend and have the fourteen fifteen sixteen trillion dollars and continue on with that let the problem i think debate about that. well there's no problem the only real issue here the only thing that we have to consider is whether or not that spending at some point leads to an inflation and the only way that's going to happen is when the government spends beyond the capacity of the economy to produce in other words when every single person in this country who is able to work is working and when all of our resources are used up and you spend beyond that that's when you have a sustainable inflation that's the real issue we should be talking about that's the question we should be asking ourselves and frankly with a nine percent unemployment rate and millions of people at a work and industrial capacity far below what our potential is and millions of on whole unsold homes and all this other excess capacity that we have what we should

be doing is increasing demand and the way that we do that in an economy where most people are trying to cut back their debt is for the government to step in and stimulate demand by spending on infrastructure on education on health care on basic research and development on transportation on alternative energy. some time ago president mario draghi explained the main objectives of the current d.c. . policy in times of economic crisis it might be by stimulating demand ending on infrastructure education health research transport alternative energy or by reaching a lower inflation rate but not just in trying to present. it to accelerate the return of inflation to levels below but close to say. that she wanted to for several reasons why this is not good for the economy if you finish and it's negative that means that those who have it

right find it increasingly difficult to service that. and that leads to a situation where demand to be weak and the economy cannot groove it's like being in a trap that prevents us from grooving again so we have to find is this economy i don't think of the spirit these. bags. even think you're welcome mr president we're glad you're pouring billions of euros into the financial markets rather than the real economy. i.

felt but not the. last time we chased. each one of the twenty kilos of drugs. it's. more that. they have resisted. this for me. it would be i don't know don't. make or. break right. now well.

done at once i. don't want to have snakes on the definitions and i'm back and. taking the city. and then you're going to bring. how is that kind. of movie. going to let you know what the. saudis are. just doing if one means a leftist i know the deep but none. none tokio find it he's going to keep going.

to let. his look was because did a piece of dancing quadrille cultural if you pulled the premise. for. it the. you know stopped. being able to run into this at this. somebody. took. a quick look at a subtle. new survey of the doctors when the weather will be out and they will. look in the said music offered no means. the. only thing they will stop the

distro that us for example if. you got a little boy. think that. you are a bit more. than. fifty. percent. of. your. so what is the value of the italian constitution today in the european. they do in the coastal feeling a little. in two thousand and five europe is trying to attain a constitution but france and the netherlands had rejected it in a referendum they argued that european bureaucrats outrageously ignored social issues favoring big business isn't of any of these born the need i say yeah

base out to d.c. that are leftists of course still have fairly many to do that so. little just need to know what is. going on and there is another all to put up in the good man will lead to. those to be so. bad that. it means i mean this. you just said to. me that. the political see on. the ship. of course is of. course the.

aims to become the most successful economy in the world over the next ten years. famous last words as he. suggests. people should have. proposals for a puppy to refer. to groups. whose

. but it does freaking minimum meaning me. and i just know much of it because the little nugget of gold seemingly it simply was a sleaze reaction was. incredulous dude they're asking the population who are already happening to them it's not their business and their to follow orders we make decisions for us to talk about when to i proposed that. it's right and the dick out and find a compromise somewhere between the i will use them what i'm doing but they were

imposing upon us and our electorate want it and with us over immediately set. elections cannot be allowed. to repeat that elections cannot be allowed to change the going on across the greece was punished severely and savagely for daring to call a referendum in which people who were low do express themselves and the european rulers posed even harsher conditions as a savage punishment i think to be understood as a warning to others not to get this crazy idea that democracy may be of some value and they've got them about this is no democracy is a big difference i def is always there's not enough. zero zero is it either good luck or under democracy in the dictionary you read this democracy is a system of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through

a system of representation the main instrument of this participation is the right to vote which after centuries of battles has finally become universal in the western world. one of the last episodes is the referendum which allowed british citizens to choose whether to remain in the e.u. a complex and delicate decision in the economic and political scenarios of today's europe after the fifth. breck's of the british prime minister had been accused of excess of democracy for allowing a popular consultation representatives of the european institutions and several intellectuals have ridiculed the citizens who voted for bracks and especially the elderly and farmers accusing them of ignorance selfishness and racism whose decision would create an economic disaster for britain and threaten the stability of the e.u. . whether this alarmism is founded or not perhaps the real danger of the story is

that it has questioned the fundamental principles of democracy what is the state of health of democracy in europe today. that's the well so i'm not sure if we see that a. yet when. they. say it. but a lot of it is your own idea that song make that out of all is it for simple and those who need to get money from them entirely will see an economy in this be it out of the. grease in particular it's been

a total disaster to. are interested in only one outcome the crashing of arc of the overthrow of our government and their way of much more keen to have our own government overthrow itself. which is what helped was to reduce greece's. is to increase. who says. so much nothing more than this he hung was always there it's just that how they're not really without. you. so that the record of history is absolutely crystal clear that there is no alternative what we've been hearing the same thing for years there is no alternative to poverty inequality there is no alternative to individual lives and

at least five people are killed in a suspected suicide bombing in the afghan capital kabul near the u.s. embassy. texas residents flee devastating floods is a shocking response from some trump opponents who are less than sympathetic towards the plight of the mostly republican state they will tell about. also ahead belgium demands compensation from israel after sixty you funded schools a bulldozer in the west bank. and the u.s. sanctions against venezuela take hold but it seems goldman sachs has managed to dodge the restrictions early billions in the country's state oil company could the

big connection were on top of it coming up. here in moscow right now good afternoon and for me kevin i want you this our first breaking news to bring up to speed on the be right but i guess if you're just tuning in to us it's coming from afghanistan where at least five people we're hearing now have been killed in an explosion in the center of kabul this morning the suspected suicide bombing hit an area near the u.s. embassy and a number of other diplomatic buildings local journalists also worry updated me. we know from kabul police. suicide attacker who had explosives in his backpack was identified by a guard at the new kabul bank almost twenty to thirty meters from

a suit square a little bit more from the u.s. embassy would sexually quite forty five and have really protected and he managed to detonate explosives this was a very crowded area this is a main draw people who are waiting to get paid ahead of the ied and mostly government soldiers in the initial stages kabul police believe there was one or more suicide attacker who could have god inside the bank obviously that would have been a very deadly attack if that had indeed happened and this is an area that is very much central there's a lot of security outside of the u.s. embassy the actual u.s. embassy is quite well protected and a lot of the transportation for u.s. diplomats and officials is by helicopters because they fear these sort of attacks the people of afghanistan don't feel safe in cities in villages in districts in the

highways and unfortunately i think that's the challenge for the afghan government and its western allies to really deliver on providing security. but from this a bit look at the timing over the aids happened just a week of donald trump announced his new war strategy for afghanistan. we will also expand authority for american armed forces to target the terrorist and criminal networks that so violence and chaos throughout afghanistan the president's plan the new plan provides no time frame for a withdrawal those administration did it be a boost in truth in troop numbers didn't say how many were given exact numbers kept that secret but he did say wanted nato allies to throw more troops and money into the pot too but that's something people in afghanistan at least the ones we spoke to are not welcoming. how did you go you couldn't hear american and afghan forces carry out operations at night sometimes their intelligence reports are inaccurate

civilians including women and children get killed. there was a doctor it's a horse who is hit by a drone strike and another man was on his way home when he was killed. by what i want to show us or curation into the house and so schoolboy they should him dead later they said they had killed the taliban fine before they left they blew up the entire building. at a risk an expert in this area also contributed to the monitor web site early high thanks in time today this blast that we've witnessed this morning near a government by but also maybe more importantly near the u.s. embassy compound lot of important areas around there where they specifically the targets was anything specifically the target what was the message designed you think to get across. no i think it's quite safe to say that this was a message intended for the trumpet ministration off a trump announced his new strategy for afghanistan saying that he would. do or

implying that he would add more troops and that he would stay the course in afghanistan if you recall the taliban just after his speech said that going to start would become a graveyard for your was troops so i think that this particular explosion today goes on those lines you know all along the lines of the. as of yet taliban hasn't announced responsibility but i would assume it is the primary suspect other than isis so i would say a message most probably from the taliban to the trumpet ministration hands tonight or as a whole that this is what would await them or this is what i waits them once they go indeed and you know go ahead with this new strategy announced by the president i think another important issue. or not the important point to highlight is the fact that as your correspondent mentioned this is and this explosion took place in

a very fortified area just right in the center of the capital kabul which showed just shows you how much the situation has deteriorated and how much the bernie government is out of control of the situation which makes it more and more difficult i think for the trump before the new trump strategy to succeed president trump was talking recently to his finnish counterpart the press conference he talked about afghanistan let's listen to his thoughts his perspective on where he thinks it is at the moment. in afghanistan finland provides troops and financial contributions to support the afghan national defense and security forces when a modern day frontier between barbarism and civilization that's what you have it's barbarism versus civilization sixteen years into this campaign it's still barbarism versus civilization he's talking about up with the numbers he's talking about stay in there longer is he really the white knight in shining armor to bring

the change the who wants the afghans want he wants what it where is he going to go . no i don't think that you know according to the information we have we're talking about maybe a few thousand additional troops and i'm not sure that that is going to make that much of a difference you know in this war on a on up in a stand and i think that he would still roll over something more important to. still also no no pull out of course when he when he rejects to refer to a pullout i think that trumps my impurity here is to distinguish himself from his predecessor barack obama to still be able to show that he's staying the course that is what is the generals also want to be a defense secretary mattress or the national security advisor mcmaster but something important to highlight just quickly is the fact that one of the maybe

negative effects of this trump strategy is that by showing that he's an enemy will by taking the fight to taliban at this time in time you don't we also see on axis what this could lead to he said gadhafi this ostrich scenario whereby isis and tali ban would completely a joint forces in afghanistan and if that happens that could spill all right having and the complete failure for any strategy for the trumpet mistreatment together with nato you know the mess continues hourly thang. for your input the expert in that region as you said just now a contributor to the monitor site as well. talking a mess is an understatement least eight people in our thoughts have died in those devastating floods in the u.s. state of texas still being pounded by tropical storm harvey it has been downgraded to a hurricane but it's little comfort it has affected hundreds of thousands of people the city who stood still the worst hit floodwaters is still expected to rise the

damage from that storm still being assessed it's already there being compared to hurricane katrina back in two thousand and five president trump said to be brief and head there to talk about the relief effort shortly but aside to this shockingly despite all this happening to these poor souls the disasters got a political angle for one twitter user praised the floods for cleansing texas racists others are glad they said that trump supporters could be affected some said voting republican has brought this on texas. political analyst charles alltel told us that in the face of the tragedy the nation night not be divided. texas first of all is not a state that is one hundred percent white by any stretch the imagination there is a large minority hispanic population there is a large minority population in texas this is a natural disaster it is caused untold suffering we still don't know how much damage is down there yet you know this is

a time where people should really be coming together blaming a natural disaster of somebody because his or her political view news is stupid basically i was here in new york on september eleventh two thousand and one the outpouring of love and support and true help from around the world not just from the united states to this rich city of manhattan was spectacular that's what houston needs us what texas needs and we certainly don't mean lessons from supposable leftists that are really just hateful. hate speech horrible. the first seven months of donald trump's presidency seem to support slashed by more than a fifth but if you thought of the democrats who are going to make gains on the reports next there are some surprises in store. only seven months into his term and already trump is being labeled the most unpopular president in all of american history so you'd think that the democrats would be riding high given the focus and volume of trump bashing i've said over and over again and i think he's the most

deplorable person i've ever met in my life he's not he lives a lot. he says things that are true that's the same as lying are u.s. presidents behavior make i mean as as you point out it's sort of shocking but not surprising turns out that for a lot of americans opposing donald trump does not equal supporting the democratic party at this point only forty two percent of the u.s. public has a favorable view of the democrats and this is translated into fund raising difficulties in july the democratic national committee only raised three point eight million dollars that's the worst july fund raising they've had in over ten years and at this point polls show that for many americans it seems like the democratic party is just all about opposing trump. the democrats have a message a message beyond dump trump you know an actual policy message we decided to ask

folks here in the democratic party stronghold of new york city the policy proposals . i mean specifically. i'm not sure. nothing comes to mind nothing now. now. can you tell us one policy proposal the democrats have put forward in twenty seventeen. like hating trump is enough for the democrats to to win on. now i mean they have to have something to back it up. being get struck by something is the stupidest thing you could have actually you've got to come up with something come up with solutions to the country they don't have a message they have a message that trump is evil and anybody who supported trump is evil and frankly that doesn't sell i don't think most americans think of themselves in those terms even if they don't particularly like trump and i think the democrats are coming across as having no ideas no solutions betraying their traditional working class

base in favor of identity politics and it's not doing them any good it appears that fueling anti trump sentiments is not really a solution for the democrats if they want to win the voters trust they need to emphasize what they stand for not just what they stand against caleb oppen r.t. new york. belgium is demanding compensation from israel of the authorities raced six funded schools in a village near bethlehem last week the children have got nowhere to study they're going to be outside intense as the soldiers came and started shooting in the air throwing grenades at people and then they started destroying the school and as you know i feel so sad that our school has been destroyed. and so upset because the reason our school i must study in so much one day i want to become an engineer as we've already mentioned the cabins which were meant to serve the schools were donated by the e.u. as well as all the necessary educational equipment to the main aim with the project

was to provide local children with an opportunity to get an education near home now after all this the nearest schools now an hour's walk from where they live a lot when a young belgian one of the country's been on the educational projects condemned the destruction calling israel's move an acceptable thing that the project was to meet humanitarian needs and was in keeping with international humanitarian law a correspondent paul asli had traveled directed to see what was going on. the night before the new school year started israeli bulldozers arrived here on the outskirts of the palestinian city of bethlehem to demolish seven caravans that it recently been erected as a school for some one hundred bed when students from the area now this was one of fifty five schools in the area that had recently been given a demolition orders but the difference here was that the demolition order came the same night that the school was destroyed there were sound bombs there was tear gas and the solution has been this tent that was put up to try and accommodate at least

some of the children so they could hold classes. when there is a strong wind would get cold we have classes in direct sunlight some of us might get sunstroke and get sick and one gets called or people get ill to. go to trial have committed at the lab to visit in nuclear kids from a village were so happy when they had a school and when it got destroyed they were very upset the kids used to love going to school they were so enthusiastic about it and now they are asking all the time why do i have to study in a tent the children need water bathrooms and there is nothing like this in this so-called school that the situation inside the tent is extremely cramped there are four classes that are happening simultaneously now and most of the students are not in there they've been sent to a school that is around ten kilometers away and as you can well imagine it is a far distance for children this age to go and many of them say along the way they are russian costed by said here's

a quote actually you know we generate from council in the first quarter of this should mean she spoke cases of schools like this being destroyed by the israeli army for this year r t two but i did outside bethlehem. asked israeli officials for comment and judging by the response they say the schools were built without the required planning permits from the israeli authorities about facts being presented them as the main reason behind the demolitions to me true dilli ali a member of the fatah revolutionary council told this not only a shortage of schools but also hospitals and housing because of israel's reluctance to give palestinians construction permits. this time we talked about three schools but these are not the first three schools our hospitals. suffer from the same thing our economy suffers from suffocation israel has by international law the responsibility of building screws they do not build schools. and at the same time their own give permits to build schools. nor nor houses we have shortage in

hospitals because israel doesn't give permits to build hospitals and at the same time they are building freely on our land schools for israeli settlers who are illegal colonial sellers on our land and they're free to build their schools. coming up new u.s. sanctions against venezuela are slammed by leaders around the globe we've got the reaction and more detail to tell you about after this break.

in case you're new to the game this is how it works in our economy is built around corporation corporations from washington to washington controls the media the media . and voters elected to business to run this country business because. you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before . i get a number of political leaders across the globe have slammed the u.s. sanctions and now that have been imposed on venezuela last week the actions being

branded a financial blow and a violation of international law and on monday china gave its reaction the experience of history shows that outside interference or you know lateral sanctions will make the situation even more complicated and will not help resolve the actual problem. the u.s. sanctions applied on friday target any financial deal struck with president duros government as well as with the venezuelan state oil company experts say the sanctions could send the country further down an economic spiral is already in a bad state and cause rampant inflation however one multinational investment bank is managing to dodge the restrictions the bank is goldman sachs is said to be the only company on the list that is exempt after its controversial decision recently to buy almost three billion dollars worth of bombs in venezuela's state oil company that i'm in may the move was seen then is an attempt to supply fresh funds to materials government goldman sachs denied those allegations though saying they'd

made the investment purely because they believed in a brighter future for the country we got the thought of latin american studies professor daniel schorr he's convinced though that the financial elite a pulling the strings you know how hypocritical that the u.s. government is supposedly going to be known as well or one of the largest us. so do we do good moves the profit margin is the fruit of the new stories in the mainstream media or we seek to deal with any country serious sovereign outside of the us so you see these banks are the same shit is because it is a profit off of venezuelan markets of it as well and it shows today who's a truly interim myriad of the us economy they've been. doing it is what it is that is surely controlling us in the president's r.t.

spoke exclusively to venezuela's foreign minister about the tension between the countries he believes that it's the opposition in venezuela is to blame for the new u.s. sanctions. the most natural reaction of international organizations like the un would be to recognize that the sovereignty of our country must be respected curb attempts of interfering into the internal affairs of venezuela and refrain from adopting a policy of unilateral sanctions that violate the principles of international law so that you understand what kind of opposition we have they have been lobbying going to washington to achieve those sanctions against venezuela no they are trying to convince the people of venezuela that the sanctions are the fault of president maduro this is completely absurd and the world must know this. i heard you say this is in germany say they followed a right wing plot to kill leftist politicians authorities say there was already a detailed hit list or details mark europe correspondent peter oliver. eight hi

there tell us more. well yes police have uncovered what they describe as potential kill ists a hit lists of containing the names of their left wing politicians and political activists here in germany they also uncovered a stockpile of weapons as well from two properties that were searched in the northeastern state of mecklenburg vorpal martin. now the two men that were arrested they are believed to have connections to an extreme far right group one of them is a serving police officer in the region now when this statement from the prosecutor general here in germany he said that they investigated and proceeded with this these raids after they found a web chat room chat between the two men and which they talked about angela merkel's as they put it failed refugee in migration policy that they also talked about how they feared for an economic collapse across the country and that they

were scared of an increase in terror attacks that they put down to the policies of the german chancellor the two were apparently prepared for the collapse of the state. stockpiled food ammunition for their weapons as well. but what we do see is two people two men here that had raged against one particular policy and that particular policy is so tied to the german chancellor angela merkel that back in twenty fifteen when she said that all refugees and migrants were welcome to come here to germany now she's just been speaking on cheese day to the collective press as part of her summer address and the german chancellor says that she stands by the decisions she made in twenty fifteen or a decision we made back then in that exceptional situation to take in those people was important and right. well that is

a different tack from the german chancellor that she's taken in the past we have heard serbian just recently say that perhaps thing should have been done differently in twenty fifteen however at that time she was and she was in something of a slump in the polls however right now she's sixteen seventeen points ahead of her nearest rival in the upcoming elections and seems that she doesn't need to question any of the decision she's made in the past she's happy to stick with the decisions that she made because it almost looks like a certainty that she will be returned as chancellor but of course she was at one set of weeks a long time in politics you never know was roma corner for now played or maybe it was in that quote was close and thanks for the update. let's check out what's happening on the careers tension there again as of last night spiking again are north korea conducted another missile test that prompted an immediate reaction from the south and from japan the north korean missile flew over northern japan cause

a lot of alarm the government says it crashed into the pacific after flying over but a thousand kilometers east of the mainland just hours after that then japan deployed a missile defense system at a u.s. military base in tokyo as part of a previously shared you will drill and the south korean air force is also held bombing exercises in response to pyongyang's actions both countries called it a violation of the u.n. security council resolution but human rights lawyer ericsson rocky believes the exercises are not purely a response to north korea. these exercises are often used to show off new technology if you will so it's not always a reaction to north korea however it seems to be increasingly a. sore point over the years with north korea and we should begin to recognise that we can step back from these things president trump said that these military exercises were totally off the table that is not

a position to go into negotiations with last week south korea and the us launched joint military exercises that would consider a provocation by the north pyongyang said it sees the drills as a dress rehearsal for an invasion hostile rhetoric says collated recently between washington and pyongyang has been offered reported north korean leader kim jong il than his threat to strike the u.s. pacific territory with president trump warning such an act would be met by fire and fury some human from the council of korean americans believes that all sides of feeling the tension there now. but i think this is clearly a response to the joint military exercises a provocative response fairly predictable looking back at history i think the fact that. this missile was launched over a country the only country in history which is actually suffered loss of life due

to a nuclear weapon is extremely provocative and there's a message being sent there in that missile test but. to me every missile test is a message i'm kevin i mean that's the way the news looks marty mosco so far this alleged .

coin saul's for trust it's a mathematical formula that solves for think about all the institutions in your life that require trust you trust people on the road are going to be bad crashing into you you trust the doctors professional you trust the hospital is working in a trust third parties all day long but the point is the first trust international currency it doesn't require trust it just requires consensus due to every ten minutes the protocol and why would you not be buying into the protocol if you're getting fabulously wealthy or watching central banks collapse i like about it i mean wealth comes and goes but watching central banks crawl into their pee themselves and cry that's what i like. and lizzie francis is boom bust broadcasting around the world right here in washington d.c.

tonight oil and gas prices response to hurricane harvey as it hits the gulf causing evacuations of oil platforms a shutdown of facilities and some supply lines wiped out also crypto currencies are in the hot seat in china and canada it's a sector still operating in the gray zone some want it to come out into the light and some want it to be outlawed even as a breakpoint has great millionaires overnight and artificial intelligence and the sharing economy my guess details proud based capitalism here in the united states around the world stand by right now. the widespread devastation of hurricane harvey which hit texas over the. weekend

has dealt a devastating blow to the state's refinery rich coasts about two point two million barrels per day of refining capacity is projected to be brought down according to analysts at s. and p. global now key facilities along the gulf coast are temporarily shut down drilling platforms and rigs are evacuated and flooding in the houston area has seriously pinched supplies many shipping capabilities have been taken out even before harvey hit the prospects of supply disruptions and gasoline futures to one dollar seventy four cents a gallon the highest level since april retail gasoline prices push the national average up to two dollars thirty seven cents a gallon analyst for gas buddy predict that the dominos are starting to fall and it is slowly turning out to be the worst case scenario. the euro has reached its highest level since the beginning of two thousand and fifteen it rose to one dollar nineteen cents from one dollar eighteen cents after

a speech by european central bank president mario draghi at a meeting in jackson hole wyoming analysts predict that the e.c.b. may announce a tapering of quantitative quantitative easing at september seventh policy meeting euro strike can hurt shares of exporters because it can erode revenue made overseas surge pushing lower shares of exporters across europe today goal to hit its highest in more than one week as we watch the euro plunge ahead as u.s. gold futures were up point three percent at one thousand three hundred one and ninety cents. also president donald trump made threats to scrap the north american free trade deal and then expressed disappointment in meetings but that's trade partners canada and mexico which further supported gold price this comes as british officials arrive in brussels hoping to push the e.u. to talk it breaks it to force the e.u. has refused to accept before talking preach transition issues such as expatriate rights.

but every generation new technology has made life easier in the washing machine to the car however when we talk about new technology invariably the topic leads to drops protections for workers etc joining me to discuss this is aronson darren dodd professor of business at new york university and author of the sharing economy thank you for joining me on this when your opinion is there any real limit to what an ai could do for businesses or for society is for is not only making making it more our lives more convenient but also helping you know expand the type of jobs we have. well we're certainly going to see a great deal of advancement in you know convenience and comfort because of artificial intelligence and robotics. to be solving the problem of perception being able to see what's around you and make sense of it and of natural

language processing in able to communicate like humans so across a wide range of both businesses and in the household we're going to see a lot of convenience but in many ways every generation that has this kind of revolutionary for their time technology. like you know enjoys the same kinds of benefits and so the dishwasher or the washing machine were received with the same kind of joy you know our intelligent agents are being received today. well some fear that ai could be the death of the american worker but others say that it will actually bring in even as it replaces workers what do you think about that because obviously if it replaces jobs there's going to be some lag time there and people don't have time for that sort of talk right now. you know well lindsey it's going to be a little bit of both. you know there are certain kinds of jobs that are going to

see a steep decline over the next ten to twenty years jobs in retail jobs that involve driving jobs and things as sophisticated as financial compliance the combination of robotics and is going to render a lot of these jobs done by machines rather than humans but you know again like you know one hundred years ago forty percent of the u.s. workforce. was engaged in farming in some way today that number is under two percent the machines replace the humans there the machines have been steadily be placing the humans in the manufacturing sector in the united states and so you know as these jobs are destroyed new jobs are created because new industries are created things that used to be informal become formal new human aspirations are met you know in one hundred years ago there was no tourism industry to the employees eight

percent of the world's population two hundred years ago there was no health care industry today it's twelve percent of u.s. employment so it's going to be a destruction of a lot of today is jobs but a creation of a lot of new jobs because new industries a new capabilities come along well it's look at china it's pushing hard on ai technology it wants to become a world leader by two thousand and thirty probably sooner than that if it can swing and how does the u.s. compared to its development versus a i in china. well china has certainly got one big advantage today which is that there is a centrally sort of a government coordinated effort to become a leader in the next decade sort of in the same way that there was a concerted effort to win the space race in the u.s. about fifty or sixty years ago but as in. the united states a lot of research is happening in pockets of universities that companies like

google so china is almost certainly going to be the world leader in artificial intelligence overall but there are going to be capability is that the u.s. is going to be ahead of the rest of the world in simply because we've got the deepest bench of academic researchers and the deep bench of industry researchers who are individually sort of like you know top of their field in different sort of slices of. the thing that makes me think about china and sort of like you know most saliently is the fact that. you know china employees more than any other country in the manufacturing sector that over eighty million manufacturing workers in china you know at its peak the u.s. which was the largest manufacturing base in the world at the time had twenty two million manufacturing workers a lot of these jobs are going to be automated over the next twenty years and so on the one hand while there are big investments in x.

i think that it's imperative for the chinese government to also start thinking about transition strategies mid career transition strategies that will allow the people who are currently employed in manufacturing and even some services to be able to sort of leap frog. to the next generation of work as and when that's created. well let's take a look at some information we've got here this graph we see that while you know many factory jobs are on the decline since the ninety's you and i talked about that as you point out the health care industry has been thriving those are big numbers we could see a similar pattern in new jobs and industries would thrive and grow as a i becomes more common and we start counting for them in our economic models as i mentioned there's going to be some lag time but what do you think. the jobs that are going to continue to be secure i'm guessing it's sort of you know bedside manner with with regard to health care and things like that what do you foresee.

well the pattern that i've seen through history. is that things that used to be informal become formal and so health care used to be something that was done a toll and as we ordered me to farming and as we sort of got beyond the point where we had to spend all our time protecting ourselves and feeding ourselves that emerged as an industry so i certainly think that there's a tremendous amount of growth potential in the care industry i certainly see a lot of potential for growth in the education sector right now education while we've made great strides in the last hundred years is still higher education is largely sort of for a small slice of society with the technology as i think it will become a lot more ubiquitous and it will be something that you can access the different points in your life and i think that this will be a bit a big growth engine. but i also think that there are always more and more human

aspirations that as we automate the things that occupy our time today can all be posts you. there are challenges to the planet in general climate change you know threats from outside. that could potentially take up a lot more of our time if we shift away from more spending time on now so i have no like you know i talked about this in that i.m.f. article that you sort of pull the graph from that you know the future of work has always seemed bleak to the people who are seeing the technological change they look at the machines and they see well if the machines do what we're doing now what are we going to do but if history is any indicator and they also always see well this time is different now because these technologies a more a that they say that quite a lot were. or protections and things like that but if workers have new jobs the fight to protect them is on and important obviously to fight that that's no

argument for not pushing forward with technology at least in my opinion and i'm sure you know a lot of people one of the things i've got a question about is in your book you take detail you know the sharing economy and how it comes into play you even talk about when you wanted to take your daughter to school and you noticed all of these cars on the side of the road you live in a big city and you're saying i wish you could just borrow one of these cars and now you can how is the sharing economy feeding into this in a very rapid rate. well i think the fact of the sharing economy is changing what it can mean it's changing how work is organized and so because of platforms like lift the platforms like poor even sort of platforms for lawyers like up for consultants like cattle and what we're doing is we're taking the traditional full time job and we're breaking it up into projects each of which can be done by a different people a different person so the need for companies or the need for full time employees

starts to go down the reason why this is important when you're thinking about automation is that if the work is broken up from jobs into these tasks automating a couple of is a lot simpler than automating and job and saw the sharing economy and together that's what we have to look at if we really want to predict the future of work very interesting to hear thank you so much erin sadar john professor of business at new york university and author of the very interesting book the sharing economy thank you. we're going to go to break now stick around because when we got back groundbreaking cancer treatment company has been bought by galleon scientists important to watch there and cryptocurrency is could face a crackdown in china and elsewhere as they go to break here the numbers of the back .

live. to look. a little. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the senate is full on. the only show i go out of my way to lunch you know it was the really packed a punch oh yeah it is the john oliver of marty americans do the same we are apparently better than that and see people you've never heard of love jack tonight the president of the world but so are you going to really seriously send us an

e-mail. i. think. i. will suppose some of us the. last time we chased. each one of them carrying twenty kilos of drugs. we're. going through. is the main thing. this is for the be. a guy. who is really. i don't see a porno maybe it'll make or. break.

going to work and on the other hand perhaps more importantly they think it could make the situation in venezuela even worse and make their venezuela's relationship with the u.s. also worse so they don't have much faith in the sanctions days after the white house announced more sanctions on venezuela the chinese government came out in support of its close ally and beijing made it clear it doesn't have faith that sanctions will have any impact whatsoever during a press conference on monday a spokeswoman for china's foreign ministry said the president problem in venezuela should be resolved by the venezuelan government and people themselves the experience of history shows that outside interference or unilateral sanctions will make the situation even more complicated and will not help resolve the actual problem considering the close ties between both countries the comments aren't too surprising earlier this month china defended venezuela's constituent assembly

saying it was quote generally held smoothly those remarks stood in stark contrast to those from the u.s. and europe accusing the assembly of severe of voting irregularities and part of that is due to the business relationship between venezuela and china especially work concerns energy they currently have an oil for a loan deal venezuela hasn't been able to keep up its end of the bargain in fact the shipments are behind schedule and china is owed over sixty billion dollars despite the setbacks relations are still strong right after those sanctions were imposed by the u.s. officials from venezuela immediately travel to. china during that meeting both sides began working on a new investment fund to offset the boy that the u.s. government is trying to expand in venezuelan president nicolas maduro ordered state run firms to increase the ratio of shares held by chinese investors ok so they landed china these sanctions that different from the ones previously brought on venezuela yes so basically the difference between these sanctions and previous ones

are just the scope of the target initially the sanctions were attacking president during his inner circle and you know the relations that they could have with people in the u.s. with their business opportunities but this time it's basically an attack on venezuela's economy so essentially in the entire country instead of just his administration and american businesses cannot give money to venezuela or their state run oil company and of course the intention there is if then a spell of approach is a default they would have a harder time raising cash that so and you know on top of that of course we know that trump verbal expressed that he would be open to military action that was of course not in the official sanction statement but he did say that he would be open to that which is why then as well as taking these sanctions even more seriously than before these ones are a bit harder aside from china though if any other nations come forward to support

as well i mean i can imagine it's just one yeah if you are china it's great to have on your side in a pinch yes it's certainly not just china in fact the former heads of state from spain the dominican republic and panama recently got together and formally condemned the sanctions said basically the same thing as china that one they're not going to work and they're just going to make the situation harder to deal with and approach in the future and i mean in terms of south america countries have been kind of divided but we've seen pretty solid agreement in the caribbean nations to support venezuela so it really differ. throughout latin america but then at the same time you have the organization of american states which include many latin american countries and they have come out many times to keep issuing sanctions on venezuela because they want to right and so we're also looking at a situation with civilians where a lot of the allies evidence available say yes but this is going to trickle down to them to nicholas materials cause government has got such

a stranglehold on the power there nothing's going to happen is that right yeah i mean he right now there's nothing the outside forces feel kind of powerless so that's why they know they have to go right after the money they can't say ok well we're just not that we're going to cut off diplomatic ties that's not going to change that's why they're going right for the economy and if they eventually do approach or to fall which a lot of analysts are suggesting that could mean a lot of trouble for his administration because people there are we know already struggling enough all right thank you so much. and michelle coyne offerings on crypto currencies such as big coin may face a crackdown by the chinese government these digital currencies allow anonymous peer to peer transactions without the need for banks or central banks the chinese government has issued draft regulation broadly aimed at illegal financing which it says includes virtual currencies as it calls it now an important detail for the first time illegal fundraisers will be accountable for their own losses couple this

with stiff prison sentences participating in digital currency funds used to be punishable by death now with life in prison illegally absorbing public deposits will get you ten years in jail though also crypto currency is massively popular in china vic coin has hit all time highs this year that most recently leveled at four thousand two hundred ninety six dollars a theory of big coin neo like coin ripple stratus and a range of others have created overnight millionaires with many of their creators pushing for initial coin offerings in order to create an exchange. it is china is certainly not alone let's head to canada with few rules and regulations currently in place when it comes to a national quite offerings some are worried that if not controlled both businesses and investors may be playing in a grey area where problems may arise artist high limit doesn't tronto with more for us alex both canada and the us are approaching this issue in

a similar fashion introducing rules on how crypto coins can be used in these terms what can you tell us about that well it's big business and we're seeing it booming right now crypto coins are basically using what we're hearing is called an icy cold soil and mischel coin offering much like an i.p.o. and what instead of having shares you have crypto currencies which fluctuate much like shares so this basically takes the game out of the game because we have all kinds of rules and regulations when it comes to shares but with i c o o's this is a bit of a different gray area right now but let's let's go to a couple graphs just to understand just how big this is getting if you look at the first graph here you can see that the monthly i.c.a.o. funding college just skyrocketed month after month this year and then this other graph shows something very particular here that actually i see zero funding has surpassed angel investors and seed capital funding in many areas so the problem is though is the uncertainty with this area so when we talk about i.p.o.'s and we talk

about shares we know that there is disclosure of what's necessary for the companies have certain things that they must disclose there are certain rules and regulations to not only protect companies to protect investors as well so now since this new area has popped up the governments are trying to react to it and they're trying to figure out is this a coin is that a currency or is it a share but the american government has just recently made a decision and it's moving along the same lines as the canadian government we know that u.s. regulatory regulators they use securities and exchange commission recently. ruled that i'm. cryptocurrency was offering it which raise a hundred fifty million dollars u.s. last year will in fact this is a securities offering not a currency offering so that really brings that into a realm which is understood by these type of regulators so the question is are they going to do that doing this in every circumstance or are there circumstances where this can be viewed as a currency instead of

a share but we know the the winkle vi link of ostensive in trying to push this through the s. the f.c.c. with their crypto currency in s.c.c. keeps coming back and saying look if you cannot protect investors we got nothing for you china as i mentioned earlier a very heavy handed approach but can you tell us a little more about this fascinating and heavy handed approach china's taking which i don't have the same concerns we do really and that's the people might get ripped off in this whole big scheme of things and the fact of the matter when it comes to trying to look a sixty five i suppose this past year four hundred million dollars involved hundred five thousand investors i mean this is happening very rapidly and quickly and there's literally you know they're going to five star hotels people are renting out these huge rooms and they're part with people wanting to invest into this game and the fact of the matter is though that the chinese government saying look this is again something that we're not too sure about we don't want to see things like pyramid schemes popping up from those they know that there could be some type of

illegal actions that when you're moving into something that is unregulated so the chinese government saying yes we are trying to put some regulations together but they're going as far as to say that they might shut this thing down altogether this type of investment the i c o's that they won't be able to move left or right they're going to shut it down until they can figure out how they need to regulate it properly what do you think about all of these new cryptocurrency popping up they want to pick it back off the success of that coin because it is upwards for four thousand dollars some shareware right now do you think that if there they're. drowned out that the market only has room for maybe three or four i was wondering about that earlier today well i mean look at theory and that is a big one in that it's more business to business but big korn i mean i wish to listen to my friends i work for google right now five years ago i would have been one very wealthy man the fact of the matter is that it's still a new game out there so we would know if this is going to last it really what i

mean very much sorry about that i got to cut you off we got to go alex we have it all toronto thank you sir. over to greece now it's produced wine for over four thousand years and is one of the top producers but for two long years most citizens have been buying it illegally in two thousand and fifteen greece created a special tax on all wine whether it was produced locally or imported the government was trying to generate additional state income of course prices soared wine that used to sell for about four euros or around six dollars jumped closer to seven euros or eight dollars because the tax was so disliked many turned to the black market wine experts believe that it sheltered more than sixty five percent of all wine sales there is an end in sight though the greek government has now seen the error of its prohibitive ways and is looking to halt that tax by the end of this year. that's all for now check out the show on youtube youtube dot com slash thanks for watching.
