better than. the c. heard of. the world playing. really. seriously. these headlines this hour the german chancellor defends her refugee policy security . plan to kill politicians with. spain's interior minister admits to the security failure may have allowed a terrorist cell and launch attacks in. russia calls on north korea to abide by u.n. resolutions following. the u.s. stresses that it's time for serious action against.
12:01 pm
the new center. in moscow welcome news this hour starting in germany where security services say they foiled a right wing plot to kill leftist politicians our europe correspondent peter all of a has the details from berlin. 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 in a statement from the prosecutor general here in germany he said that they
12:02 pm
investigated and proceeded with this these raids after they found a web chat room chat between the two men and which they talked about angler 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 two thousand and fifteen when she said that all refugees and migrants were welcome to come here to germany now she's just been speaking on tuesday to the collective
12:03 pm
press as part of her summer address and the german chancellor said that she stands by the decisions she made in twenty fifteen. it's a decision we made back then in that exceptional situation to take in those people was important and right. but this is quite a different statement than we've heard from the chancellor in the very recent past . the sentence we can do this is part of my political work but so much has been read into this area the expression it has become a simple mortal in the discussion around it has turned into an unproductive endless loop we didn't embrace the problem in an appropriate we currently the chancellor leads sixteen to seventeen points from her nearest rivals ahead of next month's general election and looks almost certain to be returned as chancellor so she doesn't need to question her own legacy her own policy decisions that she's made however as this ongoing investigation shows of two men arrested for potentially
12:04 pm
planning to carry out murders and what has been called a terrorist attack by plenty of potential terrorist attack by investigators it does show that her policies still remain controversial to this day as peter said to angela merkel's christian democrats are well out in front in the polls while the alternative for germany party the f.t. is among those trailing the front runners i talked about the election race and the deadly plot against politicians with one of the deputy presidents this plot against the leftist politicians believed to be rooted in germany's migrant policy it's something that's been divisive a deeply emotive but now that it's got to the stage where people's lives are being threatened just because of their politics doesn't it suggest to you the party's with fiery rhetoric over migrants and the migrant issue has gone too far. well actually we have a lot of attention also start to i now
12:05 pm
a lot of attention we actually exactly never experienced before and this is to do with my my question is why is this we still have the migration to isis. in germany you see a lot of sexual harassment committed by forwardness coming from afghanistan coming from pakistan coming from countries and there is a lot of tension or society where now just a few weeks away from the election it still seems that voters prefer angela merkel's hand on the rudder when it comes to all sorts of things not just migration rather than parties like yours well. whether you actually shouldn't have in mind how party is. also by established media there's. actually no all positive news coverage of our party at all our party is quite successful told the citizens of germany
12:06 pm
did we. strictly democratic force which is actually again strongly against any kind of extremism and any kind of political violence be just wants to be a force. in the parliamentary system of germany we don't want to change the system we don't want to turn down the system. planes interior minister has admitted that security for liking played a role in the recent terror attacks bassman and campbell explained that the alarm should have been raised after an explosion at a house just a day before the atrocities took place. it is possible some checks were not made in this case and we will have to determinate how we can avoid this happening again the spanish interior minister was discussing they're promising a review of procedures and that's because he says they need to look at exactly what the controls are and if those controls need to be changed one of the things they
12:07 pm
will be looking at is how this terrorist cell in spain was able to get hold of bomb making equipment including one hundred and twenty gas canisters without reading any suspicion a tool with the authorities now the spanish interior minister then went on to talk about the a mom whose remains were found in that house which exploded the day before the attacks in barcelona and cam girl saying that in his mind that there were no suspected links between that a mom who's of moroccan origin and any radicalized groups now that is in complete contrast for what we've heard previously from belgian officials who actually say that that. moroccan descent was actually flagged up by elders of a mosque in belgium when he was preaching there the elders concerned about the type of preaching that he was making saying it was radicalizing and polarizing the people at that particular mosque so the question about whether those concerns were
12:08 pm
raised to the authorities at the time and if they were whether that was then passed on to a wider thora to a larger database of people who are watching potentially people who are radicalizing others now the spanish minister will meet his counterpart elated today from morocco to discuss possible cooperation. with the security between two different countries but the big question remains is that house that was exploded the day before the attacks in barcelona and campbell if the police had recognized early enough that this house. explosion was not caused by a gas leak which was initially suspected but actually was caused by explosion and bomb making equipment whether that then could have potentially allowed them to break this terrorist cell down stop the attacks the next day and potentially save
12:09 pm
many many innocent lives. saudi led coalition has admitted that its strike that killed fourteen civilians in the yemeni capital on friday was a technical mistake and also offered its condolences to the families of the victims hundreds in sanaa turned out afterwards in protest against riyadh bombing campaign some of the following images do show graphic injuries this six year old girl survived the strike despite the apartment block she was in being completely destroyed her story. they know. and every gate. and now she is the only child who survived the airstrikes that hit the house and. all of her family died her father mother and siblings. perished. we found multiple fractures in her left cheek as well as cracks in the bone round her eye and across her forehead.
12:10 pm
i talked to unicef representative in yemen who told me about the shocking numbers of children suffering in the conflict. actually we know that she's the beginning of the conflict you want to tell us in seven hundred twenty one she is. almost three thousand happy medium to our severely injured and noble soul more than one person they have been looted as the result of that i did not close the camp in the last two months have gone so the eight children have died and. the actual figures are going to be a bit higher we really need to go on the nations against children in the country the only way to prevent these and then to this conflict otherwise many more children and many more will be trapped in that last one hopefully will depart this time we told our of these in the conflict to respect the international human.
12:11 pm
rights and. school so that the customer in christ. in the united states will once again be allowed to use military grade equipment after a new executive order. is across his force in washington the mayor is this new kid going to help the police keep the peace. well president trump just signed off on this executive order on monday reversing his predecessors ban on authorities using military grade equipment in the u.s. now back in two thousand and fifteen barack obama imposed the band to prevent excessive force against civilians yet but trump is rolling out the army gear yet again a variety of high caliber far firearms and grenade launchers will be available as well as armored vehicles which are essentially tanks in addition to military
12:12 pm
helicopters and police will also be issued with camouflage bullet bulletproof equipment and even bayonets for close combat now attorney general jeff sessions called for called the move a life saving for police however some in. looting. but titian's believe that the new executive order is a vast overkill as the new police are already overbuilt to rise but this all comes amid heated violence and civilian clashes in charlottesville and more recently berkeley not only are americans at odds with the government specifically the police but they're also divided amongst themselves the country is massively polarized at the moment so what this new development will bring is relatively unknown. and of course it's one thing to have the equipment it's quite another deploying it ok for now so america and washington thank you. united states ambassador to the united nations says something serious has to happen after north korea's latest missile
12:13 pm
test she intends to urge other countries to take a tougher stance against pyongyang at the upcoming u.n. security council meeting russia's foreign minister also brought up the latest developments on the korean peninsula his meeting today with the prince of abu dhabi . has been following trip. moscow is being very careful when it comes to threats against north korea and surrogate robb's latest message to pyongyang during his trip is the usual and perhaps most evident we as international community at the u.n. agreed on where pyongyang mustn't cross the line so please stick to that trigger said sube because we insist that our north korean. old the un security council resolutions this is the position that we stick to the u.n. security council meetings and will do so at the meeting that is now being suggested
12:14 pm
of the recent missile tests by north korea is no surprise the u.s. president's reaction to north korea's newest toy launch somewhere towards japan was much more harsh donald trump blamed came john for signaling his contempt for the neighbors and here's another quote threatening and destabilizing actions only increase the north korean regime is isolation and then came the usual threat again all options are on the table speaking of. the region the u.s. along with south korea went for drills there just last week and now after youngins latest launch more drills this time by japan and south korea and in the meantime here's the message that china sent out to all the parties in this conflict that. china is only parties considering to do no more to provoke and ask.
12:15 pm
only parties can remain restraint work together to maintain the peace and stability of the peninsula. this essentially echoes what russia has been calling for all along less threats from all sides less things from all sides that can provoke military action and of course. young yang must abide by those u.n. resolutions because this latest flurry of diplomatic activity comes after north korea tested yet another projectile this time though flying into japanese and space age or affairs expert andrew young told us that this latest military escalation is pushing any peaceful solution further away. more career is still wants to talk to the united states and to keeping up the pressure and is also intent on doing. long distance the liveries systems for nuclear weapons as a bargaining chip but i don't think it's the moving to war because
12:16 pm
a while war it's not going to do north korea any good nor would it do both america and good for both russia and china this situation is quite clear the whole thing cannot be solved. and this military confrontation is going to make matters worse i think the position on both china and russia are very clear but then the whole thing just on what the united states is going to do and all the united states is coming up with is sanctions you know sort of and also military confrontation that's making matters worse. the taliban is claiming a suicide attack in me afghanistan capital just a week after donald trump announced his new war strategy for the country it's among all stories still ahead here on our take. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the senate it's full on
12:17 pm
awesome the only show i go out of my way to find you know what it is that really packs the. yampa is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than food. and see people you never heard of love redacted tonight president of the world bank paid to write me. if you send us an e-mail. the one else seems wrong. but all wrong just don't call. me. yet to see palin does the attic. trail. find themselves worlds apart. look for common ground.
12:18 pm
amid a wave of resistance in the united states to confederate monuments following the violence in the city of charlottesville seems to be a growing number of americans who want to express support for civil war symbols a confederate flag manufacturer a who's seen a spike in sales this month says it's part of a backlash over the statues removal. charlottesville surprised me i'll be honest with you not much surprises me i've seen a little bit of everything we saw people with flags but there wasn't a lot of talk about the flags but when the monument started coming down particularly the it was shown over and over again with the monument crashing at the . disrespect by and large the people that i talked to either through a showroom or on the phone or through e-mail are buying flags basically as
12:19 pm
a backlash against the taking down the monuments they can't bomb on the back half life is what they say is largely stems back to earlier this month of course a white supremacist rally over the removal of a statue which resulted in st louis on the death of a counter-protest some of the hate groups that took part in the on the rest often display confederate flags during their rallies then the kennedy's says the symbol should not be used to further a racist agenda. to me the flag is historic it is no different from a bitsy ross flag or a gadsden flag or a bennington flag or any of their flags that flown our country's history. i hate that some of the white supremacy groups. the k.k.k. and all these other neo nazi groups have essentially hijacked our flag and that's how i look at it i look at it. what should be an illegal use of
12:20 pm
a historic object. devastating floods in the u.s. state of texas to have killed up to fourteen people as the area continues to be pounded by tropical storm harvey it's been downgraded from a hurricane but it's affected hundreds of thousands of people the city of houston is one of the worst hit and floodwaters are expected to continue blazing the damage from the storm is still yet to be fully assessed but it's already being compared to harken katrina back in two thousand and five president trump is juba in texas shortly to be briefed in person on the relief efforts. but shockingly for some the disaster has a political angle one tried to use it praising the floods for cleansing texas of racists others are glad the trump supporters could be affected some said that voting republican could have brought this on texas political analyst charles alltel believes that the nation should be united not divided in the face of tragedy in 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
12:21 pm
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 and 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 to texas needs and we certainly don't mean lessons from supposedly leftists that are really just hateful it's hate speech horrible. taliban says it's behind an explosion in the afghan capital that's left five people dead and several more injured the suicide bombing hit an area near the u.s. embassy and another number of other diplomatic buildings as well in kabul
12:22 pm
journalist but also has the details we know from kabul police. said attacker 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 say actually quite forty five and have really protected and he managed to detonate explosives this is an area that is very much central. there's a lot of security 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. attack comes of course 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
12:23 pm
criminal networks that so violence and chaos throughout afghanistan organizations like the taliban or i saw in afghanistan sometimes called i.s.k. 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 you know somebody but there's something else you've got to look at as well is the trump has made he has pinpointed one of the big problems that his campaign will confront which is the role of pakistanis threatens pakistan to withdraw one billion dollars of aid if it doesn't get into line and its own government forces to crack down on those afghanis and taliban pakistan taliban on the border and that's key to really winning anything so if that was to happen if the pakistan government actually did crack down on the on the taliban on the border you can assume that the pakistani taliban would be much more galvanizing much more supporting of the afghani campaign in afghanistan against u.s.
12:24 pm
coalition forces so i think there could be a message in the attack against the diplomatic community and all of them are going to do. number of political leaders around the world have slammed the u.s. sanctions imposed on venezuela last week the restrictions have been branded a financial blow and a violation of international law on monday trying to get 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 targeted any financial deal struck with president maduro as government as well as with the venezuelan state oil company experts say that the sanctions could send the country further down an economic spiral and cause rampant inflation however one multinational investment bank is managing to dodge the restrictions goldman sachs is said to be the only company on the list that is exempt after its controversial decision to buy almost three billion dollars worth
12:25 pm
of bombs in venezuela's state oil company in may the move was seen as an attempt to supply fresh funds to madeira rose government goldman sachs denies those allegations saying they made the investment because they believed in the country's brighter future but latin american studies professor daniel schorr is convinced the financial elite are pulling strings. you know how hypocritical that the u.s. government is supposedly going to be known as well or one of the largest us banks. saskia continue to do whatever. their profit margin is the front page news stories in the mainstream media always seek to him in any country this is sovereign outside of the us here so you see these banks are inventing the sanctions because they can profit off of venezuelan markets of venezuela and day it shows today who's in truly interim in the us economy the big banks and the billionaires are the ones
12:26 pm
that are surely controlling us karl rove the president's that as well as foreign minister has been speaking exclusively to our take about the tension between the countries he believes that it's the opposition in venezuela the should shoulder the blame for the new us sanctions. are going to have 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 interference of 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 who have been lobbying going to washington to achieve those sanctions against venezuela know they are trying to convince the people of venezuela that the sanctions are the fault of president ma durham this is completely absurd and the world must know this.
12:27 pm
finally from a a crucial part of a bridge that will connect mainland russia and crimea has been installed by russian engineers and almost three hundred meter long railway arch is in place about thirty five meters above the coach straight construction engineers had to work at a very slow pace because of the immense weight of the thing taking them about twelve hours and needing a dozen lifting systems is said to be one of the most ambitious projects in modern russian history the crimean bridge will have a four lane highway and a two lane railroad and a shuttle to be fully operational by twenty nineteen. if you want to see how it was done we've got some panoramic three sixty drone video for you right now with dot com it's quite something from a union's got your next news in forty five minutes. and

12:37 pm
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 the tree provisions developments which are europe's great contribution. do you need to defend those that haven't. so much of that is true with. the green the. you know it would obey you.
12:38 pm
if it is true that blind economic dog mice is building a society that humiliates the week instead of protecting them maybe it's even worse pitting them 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 alone. and they've. got it all i want it all out as an. adult saw that on about that by now that yeah ok. so the. reason i got this out of. the god. is the fun you.
12:39 pm
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 to join you dorsey because of the hour and a been fun but there are genes with the dogs are man they're going to carry all of it can never compare to see they are not compared frantically kerviel to matthew. they must be almost a thousand with him over the matter noir compared to palin they lack the will to carry all of the new furthur the. truth i mean to flutter by worrying about that why can't we just spend spend spend 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
12:40 pm
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
12:41 pm
president mario draghi explained the main objective of the current issue. policy in times of economic crisis it might be by stimulating demand spending on infrastructure education health research transport alternative energy or by reaching a lower inflation rate but just in trying to present. it to accelerate the return of inflation to levels below but close to say. that she wanted to for that several reasons why this is not good for the economy if you feel is negative right 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 can hold the groove it's like being in a trap that prevents us from grooving again so we have to fight this with is this
12:42 pm
you. don't think of the spirit in these. girls that good day out the better because even thank you you're welcome mr president we're glad you're pouring billions of euros into the financial markets rather than the real economy. that's. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they did accept the reject. so when you want to be president. or some want to. have to go right to be
12:43 pm
first this is what before three. can't be good will i'm interested always in the waters about how. things should all. possible in the dubrovnik in venice are all fixed travel destinations so it must be nice to live there or is it. going to. crowds of tourists disrupt the city's economic and social life in them a little bit before this on the celestial get out of to all such as the traditional story son not just stands by him some but yes to that as we know is by no means a school but does him better than that while the cities try desperately not to collapse all powerful corporations collect the profit of what will put the couple who probably globally don't coffee cup at home in the bushes up the on saabs knock

12:45 pm
a little bored with you and me. 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 and. they do in the coastal feeling a little. in two thousand and five europe is trying to attain a constitution in france and then nothing and rejected it in a referendum they argued that european bureaucrats outrageously ignored social issues favoring big beasts isn't of any of these born the need i say yeah
12:46 pm
base out to the east could be that a leftist of course appealing money to do that so. we're just going to notice. france is on and there's another alter put up in the good man will lead to. those to be so. bad say to him in the mean if the spec asked the spec out i did just said that i thought they were paid. good mean i say that that to these born. when they came out of course you can see on the map equity to see on the second in. this instance the quotable bit just he said oh it's the century ship leads you up there and i through it of course is this is so funny at the cost of this and that is for the concern is what it pays. very well of course to finish it you put your favorite man in the open fire let me remind you is at least country to begin with
12:47 pm
a new mutable words. the european union aims to become. the most innovative a successful economy in the world over the next ten years. famous last words is that. it's interesting to see the reaction in europe when some political figure suggests that maybe people should have a voice in what happens to them several times in greece there have been proposals for a popular referendum trish pope and crucially two groups. and i mean much as opposed to going to the us so many. big mistake to be.
12:48 pm
sucking up other. funding see a number. of simulators. and. a few states he says and it just seems to me is the skin saying used to be. then the us and them a month is was deployed in those fleeting moment. mollica not just the much business little nugget of gold similar let's. close a sleeve reaction was that it. incredulous could you dear ashcombe population already happening to them it's not their business and their are to follow orders we make decisions first i want to i proposed that. that's right and the duke of and find a compromise somewhere between the i will use them what i'm doing but they were
12:49 pm
imposing upon us and our electoral mandate and wolf. elections cannot be allowed. to repeat that elections cannot be allowed to change that. the greece was punished severely unsettling for daring to call a referendum in which people do trust them so the european rulers posed even harsher conditions as a savage. i think to be understood as a warning to others not to get this crazy idea that democracy may be. they've got them about this is no democracy is a big difference i def is always there is not enough. zero. 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
12:50 pm
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 victory of breck's of the british prime minister had been accused of excess of democracy for allowing a popular consultation i representatives of the european institutions and several intellectuals have ridiculed the citizens who voted for bracks it 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 this story is
12:51 pm

german chancellor once again defends her open door refugee policy and comes as security services for a right wing to kill left this politicians who support us with the policeman of the alleged plotters. still ahead spain's interior minister admits that a security failure may have allowed a terrorist cell to launch attacks in barcelona. earlier this month. as russia called on north korea to abide by un resolutions following pyongyang's latest missile test washington stresses it's time for serious action against the
1:01 pm
hermit state. your tuning in from around the world welcome to moscow on to r.t. international i mean o'neill we begin in germany this hour where security services say they have foiled a right wing plot to kill left this politicians are to peter all over is following developments for us from berlin. police have uncovered what they describe as potential kill ists a hit lists of containing the names of 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
1:02 pm
they are believed to have connections to an extreme far right group one of them is a serving police officer in the region now in a 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 and 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
1:03 pm
particular policy is so tied to the german chancellor angela merkel that back in two thousand and fifteen when she said that all refugees and migrants were welcome to come here to germany now she's just been speaking on tuesday to the collective press as part of her summer address and the german chancellor said that she stands by the decisions she made in twenty fifteen on the decision we made back then in that exceptional situation to take in those people was important and right. but this is quite a different statement than we've heard from the chancellor in the very recent past that the sentence we can do this is part of my political work but so much has been read into this every day expression it has become a simple mortal in the discussion around it has turned into an unproductive endless loop we didn't embrace the problem in an appropriately currently the chance that leads sixteen to seventeen points from her nearest rivals ahead of next month's
1:04 pm
general election and looks almost certain to be returned as chancellor so she doesn't need to question her own legacy her own policy decisions that she's made however as this ongoing investigation shows of two men arrested for potentially planning to carry out murders and what has been called a terrorist attack by plenty of potential terrorist attack by investigators it does show that her policies still remain controversial to this day yes peter said i'm glad merkel's christian democrats are well out in front in the polls for the election while be alternative for germany part of the f.d.a. is among those trailing the front runners earlier column break talked about the election race and the deadly plot against politicians with one of the f. days deputy presidents. plots against the leftist politicians believed to be rooted in germany's migrant policy it's something that's been divisive
1:05 pm
a deeply emotive but now that it's got to the stage where people's lives are being threatened just because of their politics doesn't it suggest to you the parties with fiery rhetoric over migrants and the migrant issue has gone too far. rather actually we have a lot of tension also start to i know lot of tension the extreme never experienced before and this is to do with the mind my question is why is this we still have the migration to isis. need you see a lot of sexual harassment committed by forward those coming from afghanistan coming from pakistan coming from countries and there is a lot of tension or society you are now just a few weeks away from the election it still seems that voters prefer angular merkel's hand on the rudder when it comes to all sorts of things not just migration rather than parties like yours. well. whether you would actually
1:06 pm
shouldn't have in mind how hard he is. also by it is to have at least media there's. actually no all positive news coverage of a party at all our party is quite successful. citizens of germany did we. strictly democratic force which is actually again strongly against any kind of extremism and any kind of political violence to be just wants to be a force. in the parliamentary system of germany we don't want to change the system we don't want to turn down the system. to another headline story spain's interior minister has admitted that security flaws likely played a role in the recent terror attacks in barcelona and kemp recalls he explained that
1:07 pm
the alarm should have been raised after an explosion at a hardass just the day before the atrocities took place. it is possible some checks were not made in this case and we will have to determinate how we can avoid this happening again the spanish interior minister was discussing they're promising a review of procedures and that's because he says they need to look at exactly what the controls are and if those controls need to be changed one of the things they will be looking at is how this terrorist cell in spain was able to get hold of bomb making equipment including one hundred and twenty gas canisters without reading any suspicion or tool with the authorities now the spanish interior minister then went on to talk about the a mom whose remains were found in that house which exploded the day before the attacks in barcelona and cam girl saying that in his mind that there were no suspected links between that
1:08 pm
a mom who's of moroccan origin and any radicalized groups now that is in complete contrast for what we've heard previously from belgian officials who actually say that that in more of a moroccan descent was actually flagged up by elders of a mosque in belgium when he was preaching there the elders concerned about the type of preaching that he was making saying it was radicalizing and polarizing the people at that particular mosque so the question about whether those concerns were raised to the authorities at the time and if they were whether that was then passed on to the wider thora to a larger database of people who are watching potentially people who are radicalizing others now the spanish minister will meet his counterpart elated today from morocco to discuss possible cooperation in future with the security between the two different countries but the big question remains is that house that
1:09 pm
exploded the day before the attacks in barcelona and campbell if the police had recognized early enough that this house. explosion was not caused by a gas leak which was initially suspected but actually was caused by explosion bomb making equipment whether that then could have potentially allowed them to break this terrorist cell down stop the attacks the next day and potentially save many many innocent lives. for the saudi led coalition has admitted its strike that killed fourteen civilians in the yemeni capital on friday was a technical mistake it also offered its condolences to the families of the victims on brit's and son turned out to protest riyadh bombing campaign some of the following images show profit in trees this six year old girl survived the strike the spike the apartment block she was in being completely destroyed your see her
1:10 pm
story they know. and they have to get eight. and she is the only child who survived the air strikes that hit the house and. all of her family died and her father mother and siblings. perished. we found multiple fractures in her left cheek as well as cracks in the bone round her eye and across her forehead. oh. well unicef's representative in yemen told us about the shocking numbers of children suffering in the conflict. actually we know that seems the beginning doesn't completely want to tell us in seven hundred twenty one she. almost three
1:11 pm
thousand happy medium or severely injured and also on more than one person they have been routed as the result of that i did not close the camp in the last two months have gone so that the eight children have died and the belief by the action few figures may be a bit higher we really need to go on the nation's against children in the country the only way to prevent these two men to this conflict otherwise many more children and many more will be trapped in that these last one hopefully will depart this time we told our of these in the conflict to respect the international human bill to our backs on toast be done and their own school so that the casualties are needed in christ. the us ambassador to the united nations sees something serious to happen after north korea fired a missile directly into japanese or space it landed in the pacific ocean about
1:12 pm
a thousand kilometers east of the country's mainland nikki haley intends to urge other countries to take a tougher stance against pyongyang of the upcoming u.n. security council meeting russia's foreign minister also brought up the latest developments on the korean peninsula his meeting today with the prince of. leave a training course being following surrogate of rovs trip. moscow is being very careful when it comes to threats against north korea and surrogate allowed robb's latest message to pyongyang during his trip is the usual and perhaps most evident we as international community at the u.n. agreed on where pyongyang mustn't cross the line so please stick to that. suit because we insist our north korean neighbors. old the u.n. security council resolutions this is the position that will stick to the u.n. security council meetings and will do so at the meeting that is now been suggested
1:13 pm
off of the recent missile tests by north korea no surprise the u.s. president's reaction to north korea's newest toy launch somewhere towards japan was much more harsh donald trump blamed came john for signaling his contempt for the neighbors and here's another quote threatening and destabilizing actions only increase the north korean regime is isolation and then came the usual threat again all options are on the table speaking of. the region the u.s. along with south korea went for drills there just last week and now after youngins latest launch more drills this time by japan and south korea and in the meantime here's the message that china sent out to all the parties in this conflict that. china only parties considering to do no more to provoke to ask.
1:14 pm
oh the parties can remain restrained and work together to maintain the peace and stability of the peninsula. this essentially echoes what russia has been calling for all along less threats from all sides less things from all sides that can provoke military action and of course pyongyang must abide by those u.n. resolutions asia affairs an expert on very long to list the latest military escalation is pushing any peaceful solution further away. more career is still wants to talk to the united states and keeping up the pressure and is also intent on doing is. long distance the liveries systems are for nuclear weapons as a bargaining chip but i don't think it's the debris in moving to an all out war because it all while war is not going to do north korea any good nor would it do. any good
1:15 pm
for both russia and china the situation is quite clear the whole thing cannot be solved. and this military confrontation is going to make matters worse i think the position on both china and russia are very clear but then the whole thing in just on what the united states is going to do and all the united states is coming up with is sanctions you know surface and also military confrontation that's making matters worse. police in the u.s. will once again be allowed to use military grade equipment after a new executive order explaining the implications about artes in your account. president trump just signed off on this executive order on monday reversing his predecessor's ban on authorities using military grade equipment in the u.s. now back in two thousand and fifteen barack obama imposed the band to prevent
1:16 pm
excessive force against civilians yet trump is rolling out the army gear yet again a variety of high caliber firearms and grenade launchers will be available as well as armored vehicles which are essentially tanks in addition to military helicopters and police will also be issued with camouflage bulletproof equipment and even bayonets for close combat attorney general jeff sessions called called the move a life saving for police however some believe that the new executive order is a vast overkill as the police are already over militarized to solve cummings and made heated violence and civilian clashes in charlottesville and more recently berkeley examples of where the aforementioned weapons could potentially be used the country seems to be massively polarized at the moment so what this new development bring. on the question remains however will police use the arms at their disposal.
1:17 pm
taliban claims a suicide attack in the afghan capital just after donald trump a ninth his new war strategy for the country we've got live reaction from a former afghan presidential candidate and more stories after this. i. i.
1:18 pm
called the few we do. every in the world should you. get it out of the old the old. old according to josh. come along for the ride. it to minutes into the program welcome back the taliban say it is behind an explosion in the afghan capital that has left five people dead and several more injured in a suicide bombing it's an area near the u.s. embassy and a number of other diplomatic buildings in kabul journalists. that's the details. we know from kabul police. suicide attacker who had explosives in his backpack
1:19 pm
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 determinate as explosives this is an area that is very much central there's a lot of security 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 as security we attack 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.
1:20 pm
let's discuss the deadly scenes on cross live to a former member of the afghan parliament tons or you're very welcome to the program . has seen many deadly attacks of course given that security must be on high alert what's allowing terrorists to strike there so frequently. let me first say that all these loss of life by whoever that is cause is deplorable tragic and i deplore all of them all of them whether it's from the military operation or from the terrorists side. having said that. naturally when the u.s. announced its news straight e.g. . the taleban of course would like to shore but they're also able to inflict these kinds of casualties and unfortunately and all this this may
1:21 pm
have the victims or civilians whether it's the terrorists or the military as it was shown in herat and in the past civilian casualties well being what are your longing in a minute. there on to the why is the taliban able to do it so frequently. they have already infiltrated in the city they have cells in the city this is a more fair it's impossible to guard against that kind of warfare completely but having said that naturally our security forces are not doing the job adequately the screening and the systems that are in place are not adequate. the houses of the ministers and warlords and strong men and embassies are well protected but poor people of kabul and other cities of the country are the victims
1:22 pm
whether it's from an army or a terrorist life that a civilian loses it doesn't matter who kills them there are barely able to live as it is that because of poverty and lack of. security and joblessness and then to. top it off this is a tragic situation just to emphasize a point you are making is there a link do you think between trump's announcement of his new anti taliban strategy on the incident today. but it's not without a link because when the united states announced its strategy immediately top taliban went to work unfortunately even dying and joined and there are conflicting casualties and most of those casualties are on the civilians and they are the victims of the u.s. forces have been present in the country for sixteen years we know of course yet the
1:23 pm
taliban has extended its grip large swathes of the country under its control is trump's latest drive really going to change anything there. when you look at the an increase in even the whole size of the nato presence and the u.s. presence in america speaking. that number of troops will have to deploy and employ air force and special forces operation and that is not going to change the situation in the military aspect of it minute she will not when military. solution is not there military can put pressure on the military can put. pressure so the political side can move and take advantage of it but unfortunately the government is so weak. that the government of afghanistan has not been able to fill the void that the military has created for us to move in because they have not
1:24 pm
provided services that the people in need they have not provided jobs that the people need and on top of that when the when mr trump says that there's no nation building in the american number agenda that it will even make make it even more difficult for this battle it will become a more of a battle than it has been with former afghan presidential candidates. so i thank you very much for coming on the program this hour. a number of political leaders around the world have slammed the u.s. sanctions imposed on venice way last week the restrictions have been branded a financial blow and a violation of international law 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 targeted any financial deal struck with president
1:25 pm
maduro government as well as with the venice wheelin state oil company experts say the sanctions could send country further down an economic spiral and cause rampant inflation. wherever one multinational investment bank is managing to dodge the restrictions goldman sachs is said to be the only company on the list that's exempt after its controversial decision to buy almost three billion dollars worth of bonds in venice will a state oil company back in may the move was seen as an attempt to supply fresh funds to maduros government but goldman sachs deny the allegations saying they made the investment because they believed in a brighter future for the country latin american studies professor daniel schorr who is convinced that the financial elite are pulling strings. yeah how hypocritical that the u.s. government is supposedly going to be known as well or one of the largest us banks and investment for a school that saskia continue to do whatever. loose their profit margin is the
1:26 pm
front page news stories in the mainstream media always seek to demonize any country sis it's our group way outside of the us here if so you see these banks circumventing the sanctions because they can profit off of venezuelan markets of it as well and day it shows today who's in truly interim in the us economy the big banks and the billion is that was that it surely controlling us car is in the president's lots of expert analysis on the story plus a whole lot more n r t dot com to give it i like i'm you know you'll see again in thirty minutes. what.
1:27 pm
that is going to hang me as you. did coin solves for trust it's a mathematical formula that's all for trying to think about all the institutions in your life to require trust you trust people on the road are going to be not crashing into you you trust. the doctor is professional and you trust the hospital is working in a trust third parties all day long but the point is the first try international currency doesn't require trust it just requires consensus to buy into every ten
1:28 pm
minutes the protocol and why would you not be buying into the protocol if you're getting fabulously wealthy or watching central banks collapse of support i like about it i mean wealth comes and goes and watching central banks crawl into their desk and pee themselves into try that's what i like. and when the frances 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 big point has great millionaires overnight
1:29 pm
and artificial intelligence and the sharing economy my guess details proud based capitalism here in the united states and 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. 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 pinch supplies many shipping capabilities have been taken out even before
1:30 pm
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 the surge pushing lower shares of exporters across europe today gold hit its
1:31 pm
highest in more than one week as we watched 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 dara dodd professor of business at new york university and author of the sharing economy
1:32 pm
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
1:33 pm
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 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.
1:34 pm
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 still 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 be 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 the new capabilities come along well it's look at china it's pushing hard on ai technology it wants to become
1:35 pm
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 ask. in the united states a lot of research is happening in pockets at university is 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 deepest bench of industry researchers who are individually sort of like you know top of their field in
1:36 pm
different sort of slices of. the thing that makes me think about china and sort of like you know more 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 transmission 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 leapfrog well 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
1:37 pm
many 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 what new jobs and industries would thrive and grow as a i you know 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. 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. 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
1:38 pm
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 is i think it will become a lot more ubiquitous it will be something that you can access the different points in your life and i think that this will be a bit of 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 to be can now be posts you and 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
1:39 pm
. i talked about this in that article that you sort of pull the graph from that you know the future of work has always seem 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 the old saw with the well this time is different now because the technology is a way that they say that light a lot worker 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 if you wanted to take your daughter to school and you notice 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
1:40 pm
you can how is the sharing economy feeding into this in a very rapid rate. well i think the fact that the sharing economy is changing what it means it's changing how work is organized and so because of platforms like. the labor platforms like poor even sort of platforms for lawyers like a 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 job interviews tasks automating a couple of is a lot simpler than automating and entire 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
1:41 pm
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 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 we go to break here the number of the. live. welcome to the ocean are over and the right is going to get that one i'm sure that .

developed top selling treatments for hiv and the liver destroying hepatitis c. virus the deal helps establish the iliad as a leader in so-called cellular therapy. on friday president donald trump issued more sanctions on venezuela that decision got a negative reaction from embattled president nicol nicolas maduro government but now some of that as well as allies are coming to the country's defense. has got more on that for us. trying to pick up the pieces here wellness particular case we're talking about trying they sort of have a two part argument here on the one hand they think these sanctions are simply not 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 sanctions days after the white house
1:47 pm
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 the sanctions will have any impact. soever during a press conference on monday a spokeswoman for china's foreign ministry said the present 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
1:48 pm
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 traveled 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 venezuelan president nicolas maduro ordered state run firms to increase the ratio of shares held by chinese investors. ok so they ran to 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
1:49 pm
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 the 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 stung 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 you got china it's great to have on your side in a pinch. 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
1:50 pm
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 different 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 yeah 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
1:51 pm
change that's why they're going right for the economy and if they eventually do approach a default 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 big colin has hit all time highs this year that most recently leveled at four thousand two hundred ninety six dollars the 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. but as china is certainly not alone let's head to canada with few rules and regulations currently in place when it comes to initial court offerings some are worried that if not controlled both businesses and investors may be playing in a grey area where problems may or. rise artist high limits and tronto with more for us alex both canada and the u.s. 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
1:53 pm
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.a.o. those 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 that's necessary for 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
1:54 pm
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 learned ruled that a major crypto currency was offering 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 regulator. so the question is are they going to be do this doing this in every circumstance or are there are circumstances where this can be viewed as a currency instead of a share well we know the the winkles the link of off ones have been trying to push this through the s.c.c. with their crypto currency and as you say he's coming back and saying look if you cannot protect investors we got nothing for you china as i mentioned earlier very
1:55 pm
heavy handed approach but can you tell us a little more about this fascinating and heavy handed approach china's take a look china has the same concerns we do really and that's what 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 c o's 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 packed with people wanting to invest into this game 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 because they they know that there could be some type of illegal actions that when you're moving into something that is regulated so the chinese government is 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
1:56 pm
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 spazzing out they want to take you back off the success of that coin that coin is upwards of forty four thousand dollars i'm sure you're aware right now do you think that it's there there drown out that the market only has room for maybe three or four i was wondering about that earlier today i mean look at there it was a big one and that's more business to business but bitcoin i mean i wish that i listen to my friends at work so i google right now five years ago i would have been one very wealthy man. no matter what 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 your offer got to go alex and 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
