the headlines in r.t.d. iraqi army claims it is in full control of. the disputed city this comes as baghdad tightens its grip on security following an independent referendum. noisy night in barcelona as locals make their feelings heard following the arrest of two leaders in catalonia as the independence crisis there. britain's foreign secretary refuses to apologize for comments about removing dead bodies from libya so it can be the next.

welcome thanks for watching r.t. international which just three talk here in moscow our top story this hour the iraqi army says it has taken full control of the city of kirkuk and pushed out kurdish peshmerga fighters it was described as a declaration of war by the kurdish military. a heavy response. it's. a good. thing god our combat spirit is very high and we have been searching for the first mother fighter since yesterday who are you searching for exactly. the fighters who haven't left the city yet nearly a push more to fighters were killed at the beginning and since then we haven't found anyone so nothing happened besides this of course no they tried to resist

they opened fire at us but no one was hurt the local journalist mahmood abraham described the situation the iraqi army has attack at the as this set the floor last night something cool calm three sides some. not again units have pulled back from there on this and let the iraqi army call it enter the city from mocked up call it and from it tell you out of that a place it could southend populous city and some control of his has fallen from what side is now talking about child casualties from the height of the shabby bed people mobilization units and by talking about ten. to get. while the iraqi government says the move was to increase security the old rich city had been under the control of kurdish forces since twenty fourteen that's when the iraqi army fled the area to escape islamic state and you're trying to has more now on how

the war on terror in iraq has turned into a battle the temperature gunshots and one of the largest cities in the north of iraq that had nothing to do with terrorists. i mean it's about the terrorists not being there anymore after the kurdish units also known as press mariga and the iraqi army in cold war largely successful against eisel it is now all about showing who's boss and northern iraq and in particular in kirkuk back in two thousand and fourteen the kurds basically took full control of it while the iraqi army were hopelessly losing the country to islamic state i'm not saying these latest care clashes put iraq on the brink of a new civil war although the general command did call it a declaration of war on the people of kurdistan but here's what the u.s. central command called the takeover of a whole city after

a fierce gun battle masses of locals the coalition forces reports of a limited exchange of fire we believe in gauge one this morning was a misunderstanding and not deliberate elements at times it's a link up the limits of visibility conditions clearly this is a difficult time for the united states their troops. and the startler is isis so how is that iraq you're only going to. look up your own mobilization forces also. so now the u.s. finds some difficult position this is going to make it very difficult for the trump administration. well this issue across the border in syria similar story the kurdish units have done a great job in taking over land from dice and no matter what the government in damascus has to say they want to keep it period we will never handed over our law

is clear the land that runs with the blood of martyrs belongs to the people and we will not handed over to any force the battle against isis is if not finished it's largely finished and they've been able to come up with a plan the war of words got hotter and hotter and they have moved special forces but it's oil it's all about oil this is very important for iraq to take a city which they believe is theirs the government and to establish very quickly now that their military is stronger as proven itself against isis has become organized and well researched machine that they want to strike while the iron is hot. now in other news this hour to name two key members of the catalan independence movement have been detained and questioned on charges of sedition they are accused of paying crucial role in organizing catalonia disputed referendum

which madrid says was illegal people protested on monday night against the move by banging pots and pans. to to. catalonia as president slammed to madrid expressing regret that they were arrested for simply organizing peaceful rallies the separatist leaders called on the public to remain strong during this hard parried for the region as that the. we're disappointed with the judge's decision to deprive us of our freedom the sacked isn't lined with the principles of justice its goal is to frighten and punish us to get out because then despite the times we're living in the limitless repression of the state to try and stop this democratic wave we're experiencing in catalonia i

want you to be more serious than ever we must become aware of the importance of the historical moment. well here are some more details about the man arrested two you just saw there one of them is the leader of the cattle and national assembly an organization which does want independence for the region it was created back in twenty eleven and has over eighty thousand members the other here is the president of the organization that promotes cattle and language and culture it's also favoring secession famous whistleblower has criticized the two arrests wiki leaks leader julian sanjay has described the men as the first high level political prisoners held over the referendum is a vocal supporter of catalan independence political commentator john white told us that he believes madrid has made a mistake by making these arrests after the ugly scenes of violence three witness

the whole world witnessed on october the first that the best friend that cut the world independent is actually the spanish prime minister mariano rajoy he's a was telling me of spanish unity because there's no doubt in my mind that his actions. along with every step of the we have only served to force the ball fire the determination of those already supporting independence but people have added new converts to the cause of a voice actions well the media. and way with the constitution are certainly important in my view because no one in qatar would accept regardless of where they stand on this question that the democratic polity. since elected politicians are represented in the cattle and regional parliament should be detained on this basis so it's a very very serious escalation and i i i contend it is a very very serious mistake on the part of the major government to take this

measure well madrid has tried on numerous occasions to block the independence movement. yeah i am. i i. did i deny. the canceling governments will be. charming is to walk or existence to cease illegal activities they should abandon their objectives. i. i. i. i.

now with this i make states suffering heavy losses in syria and iraq many children are being left behind is that parents die fighting for the terror group when i say he has been able to fill out an orphanage in iraq west some youngsters were clearly aware of who their relatives were fighting full. mama. can't. ask them. back. that can't cave understand shame games or the ok for a while. and turns.

mom or. dad will. go you love. to do. this if life isn't difficult enough for those children we have been hearing how countries are grappling with how to rehabilitate potentially radicalized youngsters we have a moral obligation agility you know to help fix. the damage the last thing damage in the legacy of our intervention and of previous governments.

claim to be acting on our behalf we have to try and fix the mess we've created in a in an evidence based in a moderate way and not with bullets i don't think that we can you know straight away go all you know western intervention is to blame for this isis is to blame for this extremism is to blame for this the parents who were extreme in their beliefs are to blame for this this isn't you know i didn't write it colossians children i didn't teach the children that their parents were martyrs but isn't my doing and that is a western intervention doing that was the doing of those who were extreme that were behaving in history manner when people are under threat of being wiped out then the people who took the toughest game they rise to prominence in such a society i was as i was about to explain like here when people think that immigrants are stealing their jobs then. immigration far right parties you know come to the fore and rally people around them what you're saying is that children

in the area on the ground day that were killed by by a to. terrorist extremist radicalized muslim that what those parents should do you couldn't blame them if they now came out became violent i don't want to see any child go through that and obviously we do need to do whatever we can do but the moral compass is not only on the west it just isn't for these children we need to first hold them and put them out of immediate danger and then. in cold create a strong sense of identity in them as you know m i five report in two thousand and eight suggested and confirmed a world brand of islam an identity religious identity is actually a fire war a preventative measure to political body needs less islam not more of it right now . now britain's foreign secretary has dodged cause in parliament to

apologize for an offensive remark he made earlier in the month about removing dead bodies in libya so it could become a world class tourist and business destination he no ordinary try to do is call me and i will he tell us whether or not he is best placed to take part our relationship with libya. right so i believe that political point scoring this current. trivializing the reality trivializing it were ignoring the reality of the security situation. does any good guys any of the people of libya. ok let's talk more about this with laura smith she's at westminster for so low or high there on boris getting quite angry there wasn't he in the commons but he's not saying stories. he's not saying sorry i say it's interesting as they say politics has a short memory but boris as you say is once again being called upon to apologize for these comments that he made two weeks ago now and he's once again not

apologizing for them he is in fact accusing his questioners of trivializing point scoring as far as the situation in libya goes it's two weeks since he said this could be the new dubai on one important condition that his comment. because. it's no use to be used. to do. you. believe you. so that was on the fringes of the tory party conference two weeks ago but the the effects of those comments are still rebounding on johnson today when he asked when he was asked how he thought his comments affected the people of libya he said he was just trying to bring people together and of course the predictable

reply came from stephen geffen of the s.n.p. he said well you have brought people together you've brought people together from all sides of the political spectrum in libya to roundly condemn you here's a fresh call for johnson's resignation this morning that's from s.n.p. m.p. david linton he tweeted quite boldly he should resign because of course this is the latest in a long line of gaffes committed by the foreign secretary at the end of last month he was visiting my own ma and he had to be stalled by the ambassador from reciting a colonial era kipling poem in front of assembled local dignitaries and of course it was all caught on camera let's see it. were you are we going to. walk through.

the poem that johnson was trying to recite is seen as quite offensive by locals so the opinion forming and growing that for a top diplomats boris johnson isn't really very diplomatic no ok thanks laura that was lower smith for us in the u.k. . meanwhile hillary clinton has been using the claims against disgraced film producer harvey weinstein to have a go at donald trump we'll have more on that plus of the stories to you after the break. here's what people have been saying about rejected a knighthood to us is actually just full on awesome well the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that really packs a punch at least yampa is the john oliver of hearty americans do the same we are

apparently better than the flu vaccines that some see some people you've never heard of love redacted tonight i'm president of the world bank so are you going to write me seriously send us an e-mail. in case you're new to the game this is how it works my economy is built around corporation operations from washington the washington post media the media the. voters elect a businessman to run this country business because. you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. hello again you with r.t.i. the revelations of sexual misconduct by the disc race movie mogul harvey weinstein

have shaken the entertainment industry with more and more women coming forward about being abused by powerful executives and russia has not escaped getting drawn into the coverage either the news website foreign policy has written about high russian media has responded saying that outlets are making light of the situation but i suppose unlike other major scandals in the u.s. at least moscow wasn't directly blamed the car wound over the weinstein scandal decades of sexual harassment claims women kucing rape even hollywood a listers angelina jolie and when it's true i said you know a million times my heart was racing and i was very scared with a hollywood heavyweight in the eye of the storm some political figures have been dragged in as well being a long time during the at the democratic party weinstein has also made payments to the clinton foundation and personally contracted thirty thousand u.s. dollars to hillary clinton's presidential campaign it's ok or a clinton

a while to condemn weinstein but when she did a few days after the scandal broke clinton couldn't resist bringing another person into the equation look we just elected a person who admitted sexual assault to the presidency perhaps the only shock ahead was that she didn't find a way to mention the russians arguably the hollywood harassment scandal is the only major issue in the u.s. not to be pinned on russia even the american football controversy over n.f.l. players nailing in protest and donald trump lashing out at them for being unpatriotic came down to this. chick and. were caught in a well they were chicken of the argument this past weekend and pushed. enough of the troll farms as much as they could to try to just raise the noise level in america the black lives the motor protests also orchestrated by the russians apparently to see division in american society forgetting the actual issue of

racism and police brutality at least one of the ads that was bought by this russian troll farm on facebook was a black live matter ad three thousand ads purchased by russian hackers to sow political chaos in the us exploit hot button racial and religious issues russian books were also accused of amplifying the debate on fracking in america and environmental issue that's been running for decades the powers that are looking to to have global policies need someone to blame for for the opposition that they face and they have to deal with the opposition so it's best to call them names and to say that they're just puppets of someone else and the russians provide an easy target just talk about how you will rushes and and how all the opposition to them is a spouse from a bad source and it's just it's

a fiction and it's something that they rely upon to so what they have to sell so it will be a surprise to find out that hollywood's most decorated now laid bare have kremlin's highs. now the russian resort of sochi is a melting pot of youngsters from around the globe but the moment it is hosting the world festival of youth and students which is now well underway festival organizers to say this year they have managed to attract over twenty five thousand visitors and they get to enjoy a mixed week of events to covering culture sports and science as well as discussing the world issues that matter to them like social justice and make getting to let these social and humanitarian to this is senior politicians. and officials there are also exhibitions and to tell you meant well over the decades the festival has proven to be a life changing experience for some of his visitors next we can meet manfred hey does recall what it was like for him at the event in moscow back in one nine

hundred fifty seven. moscow it was something you couldn't imagine in those times. my mother said watch they don't send you to siberia. it was unbelievable flower was everywhere the railway station they were greeting people arrive by train. but the greatest impression was of course the opening of the first.

great memories now out from the past the future because policing in dubai is literally about to take off in the us because these russian hover bikes could soon be used by offices to fight crime.

if you like the look of those you can read more about them see what our web site at www dot com the news looks today we'll have more just. we'll willingly accepted the risk of being shot wounded taken prisoner but noone has signed up to be friggin poisoned by our own people i've seen stuff that was

nuclear biological and chemical products said do not truck tires all types of styrofoam polystyrene batteries trucks there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection between berm pits and what these brave soldiers were suffering from to compensate every soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining about illnesses from their exposure from the berm pits would really literally send a be a probe and they don't want to pay it so the wady in decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time and they won't have to pay and. call for help and get the middle finger to movies and finally. delayed america will be gutted. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last turn.

you're out caught up to us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry only i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was again still some more fond of those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters mind gets consumed with death this one quite different speech because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker.

my. goal. was a bit of cut a lot of b.s. to study well at the kind of mushy finality and i don't want to let the your talk about how much more i'd let her be honest and the half of the fish emily i shall get a letter i learned to whom i had that that's not to be a story. so it's all so much money so it. was before this was useful to you. it doesn't feel that. they've been recent and feeling without five hundred fifty dollars the want to do with the family the funniest just obviously i told you.

somehow that there's really something to host them. you can him a dime and. let one of you know what happens on the stomach just. jump you know just when it comes on and then when it does you. know it's all going to be something that you have you know our lives through you will see now that one of the people in the room with most of what. you have done then. gets a bit hard to feel. for any credit yes that. will find something they are will find so can the federal hide it at your mom basic but make it to seventy on your own but it does i don't do it and i don't look but

a day in a. month to me. and he said we have to feed you just cannot give you money all of them have to both of us remember she was going to michel. not to. excess you know when i'm started by the way these. lines of your school based you said if you come to me seven months. nine months old found i was often the case and the thought of how does she have any foothold falls so on and so on mars that unless there are some hard to see it will be solved in the first place how far as i can send it down the truth will come out of some sort or no and i've been just sort of this enough to settle manning said that nothing self but you know what the not let's not be funny not funny one the

other was a lot of thought ah little really well let's see. i don't a professional profile with the full length of the show. i don't know about a lot who also book will even walk on. i thought that was what the clear i mean. you can have someone to call. again when actually the full. story oblivious to the other clue of the.

person who knew the key to the key to do so when the idea of me does a good one of these and mother and dad beat and because. it's a book i wasn't a big boy my. own hollow not yet all those. who think i'm a. bit of it. oh god. oh.

god how is that that is not. our. costs too much as it just. the way he. well that's what we do know he. didn't and much more not yet how do you come. out about. that and i think. that's a human not to. say out a. poem as i do not involve the home.

not a. product and. so i have not only. some of the some of the. cool. to mean. not on the body a studio by then. a subtle enough. to turn of proof of the movie deal in the middle of. nowhere just a little of the. fun of making bad if in the past the knowledge we had me. and the one on the on there but that's not going on with.

reality he really didn't. know what. i. do not have a fan can hide. i don't. sleep at night and i didn't. see more of those. by then. by then.

me and i am became learned in the engine when he on the phone to use what he yanked my mind to where she. should phone number on the front. of computers are days off of social occasions over the coming. months i will come fish . him about that at the white house that i will soften the shot of what the fuck know. about it mr guffey just sold it at the last minute. so the highest sort of a film about into the cut off of. the sun somebody know i'm always up on. the side of.

with the country at a crossroads anger of the island is on the rise. some seem wrong but all in all just don't call. me. yet to shape out these days to come out ahead and in. the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

because i do not. know how they might talk to us most of this about cuts now down in the just that of the city i couldn't.

use of a doubt that i had mostly found so and so there. were no. good olive. lost on helen of how it was a good long. in. this. forum. none of us. no nothing are not enough and i want to feel the benefit of them but i didn't think it'd be. better to. look at it. and be standing behind me funny enough. and almost. had to limit the times give you what then sat in

a slack set on how this can be that i could do it but i could have but he walked out of mine a little before i don't. know how and then the thought about stuff that i'm in the. us not to feed. him a bit of nothing. allowed me. to hunt them up. and . let some of you know how they're not. going to live there you. have been a lot of come the. image was a pill for nothing. but how are they somethin. like that. something that a hand. used to stay out. of the better for both. of you i want to live it and to hide it danny no not for whom and the mom that she was i

been a member of member feedback the fall out of the. thought that it would happen it was shit cuz i thought of me when you must have been when. you know it does are we going to be a. little messy i'm not. going to be an insane it took. them so we're out of the. talk to be a yes you want present system how much you want to show. you how do. you think. that's how it's done even when it was not even this is just going to be looked into the negative feelings these had that this has. been. our the stuff you've. already. done on the bus in the

scenes. how would a listen if i could but it doesn't mean. they couldn't are. not allowed to say to go ahead and the best not to be come out to show you didn't do enough. to know about the less. i'm going to look at. that in the new york to you know what i mean i want to let me know when you. talk. to. me let's have a look at the not you know but enough. to see that.

it had to get. a lot of the. model. to how do you look ma the punch that even though seems to be in the lead had to get the support of. the koofi twenty one dollars have been the moment this will not will. suddenly came up here that. we can assure you that is the whole thought of way because he is back at me now and then i can hear them now to welcome. him. on the last month. bottom of this economy to support him

plus one that is going. to get ahead was the record. shop hong. kong. because simply assume. if it has a little it's a little bit you know. fishing the emotion if you have a love you need. to. tell them that and then move on with those in the bonnet of the movie that you loved him about ten of the last of the was how lucky i knew him but young as our new come up to date it

doesn't blow one kid as obvious as the money. below listenings the. hit can even have been a while economically maybe i might be cool with us. that . the. what about the terms of h.s.b.c.'s deferred prosecution agreement they made. during the. billions for the senate. does this violate the prosecution will.

be prosecuted i'm going to bank prosecute. what politicians do. you put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want. to go on to be press this is what will befall three of them or can't be good. i'm interested in the waters of. course. we all willingly accepted the risk of being shot wounded taken prisoner but noone

signed up to be friggin poisoned by our own people that was leaked or biological and chemical products the said do not truck tires all types of styrofoam polystyrene batteries trucks there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection between burn pits and what these brave soldiers were suffering from to compensate every soldier marine airman and there was on the ground that are complaining about illnesses from their exposure from the burn pits would really literally send a v.a. broke and they don't want to pay it so the way. decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time and they will. get the middle finger the visa is. delayed.

the iraqi army claims it's in full control of the kurdish fighters fled to speak to the city this comes as baghdad tightens its grip on security following an independence referendum. also this protest. over the arrest of two catherine and lead this accused of organizing the region's independence referendum and another boris britain's foreign secretary refuses to apologize for comments about removing dead bodies from libya so it can be the next thing.

that i welcome thanks for watching us international's just turned four o'clock here in moscow top news story the iraqi army says it has taken full control of the city of coke pushed kurdish peshmerga forces act it was described as a declaration of war though by the kurdish military which fagged a heavy response. loosely i i . no idea. what it's because they were no longer. living within the. u.k. . although you know.

what i'm going to pick your second part of the next year there's not been a darker friends or. we're going to get more from. record i mean an hour from now one hundred or so but the god of the group i know there's shabby hours do you. know. how much did that come. about with lots not all very minor. protoboard on the oh no to the book that. the iraqi government says the move was to increase security you know a great city has been under the control of could his forces since twenty fourteen that's when the iraqi army fled the area to escape islamic state if you're trying to has more now on how the war on terror in iraq has turned into a battle to tell the truth the gunshots and one of the largest cities in the north of iraq that had nothing to do with terrorists.

i mean it's about the terrorists not being there anymore after the kurdish units also known as and the iraqi army in cold war largely successful against eisel it is now all about showing who's boss and northern iraq and in particular in kirkuk back in two thousand and fourteen the kurds basically took full control of it while the iraqi army were hopelessly losing the country to islamic state i'm not saying these latest care clashes put iraq on the brink of a new civil war although the general command did call it a declaration of war on the people of kurdistan but here's what the u.s. central. command called the takeover of a whole city after a fierce gun battle and masses of locals cleaned the area up coalition forces reports of the limits of exchange of fire but believing gauge one this morning was a misunderstanding and not deliberate astute elements at times it's

a link up the limits of visibility conditions clearly this is a difficult time for the united states their troops are important players and the startler is isis so has the rocket only and although the u.s. does not work now as a book up your own mobilization forces have also played an important role so now the us finds itself in a difficult position this is going to make it very difficult for the trump administration to resolve this issue very quickly across the border in syria similar story the kurdish units have done a great job in taking over land from die and no matter what the government and damascus has to say they want to keep it period we will never handed over our law is clear the land that runs with the blood of martyrs belongs to the people and we will not handed over to any force the battle against isis is it's not finished it's largely finished and they've been able to come up with

a plan the war of words got hotter and hotter and they have to move special forces but it's oil it's all about oil this is very important for iraq to take a city which they believe is theirs the government and to establish very quickly now that their military is stronger as proven itself against isis has become organized and well received machine that they wanted to strike while the iron is hot. in other news a softening two key members of the catalan independence movement being detained and questioned on charges of sedition they are accused of playing crucial runs in organizing catholic. as to speak to referendum which would treat says it was illegal and it provoked yet more protests in barcelona. catalan leaders were in attendance at the demonstration holding

a minutes of silence in support of the detainee's protests also took place late on monday night. and catalonia is president's land to madrid expressing regret that arrests were made for simply organizing peaceful rallies separatist leaders called on the public to remain strong showing this difficult period for the region we're disappointed with the judge's decision to deprive us of our freedom the sacked isn't aligned with the principles of justice its goal is to frighten and punish us despite the times we're living in and the limitless repression of the state to try and stop this democratic wave we're experiencing in catalonia i want you to be more serious

than ever we must become aware of the importance of the historical moment. well here are some more details about the same men were arrested one of them is the leader of the cattle and national assembly an organization which aims to regional independence it does have over eighty thousand bamboo and the other is the president of an organization that promotes cattle and language and also culture it's also in favor of secession meanwhile the editor of wiki leaks is being very critical of those the rescuing the sanjay describe the politicians is the first high level political prisoners held over the referendum is about the support of catalan independence political commentator john white's told us that he believes madrid has made a big mistake after the ugly scenes of violence we witnessed the whole world witnessed on october the first that the best friend that carter won independence has is actually the spanish prime minister mariano rajoy. the worst enemy of

spanish unity because there's no doubt in my mind to his actions. along with every step of the way of only serve to first of all fire the determination of those already supporting caterwaul independence but will have added new converts to the cause mr royce actions well the me. and wayne with the constitution are certainly important in my view because no one in qatar would accept regardless of where we stand on this question that democratic politicians elected politicians represented because regional parliament should be detained on this basis so it's a very very serious escalation and i contend it is a very very serious mistake on the part of the madrid government to take this measure well many did see the latest move as another attempt to block the independence movement in catalonia after madrid gave some strong warnings at the

beginning of september. i. wish. the cats. trying to walk. to see illegal activities they should. i. i. i i.

now with islamic state suffering heavy losses in syria and iraq many children are being left behind is their parents die fighting for the terror group when he has been to film at an orphanage in iraq west some youngsters were clearly aware of the course their relatives were fighting for. papa or. mamma lambaste can't. ask them. about. that can't cave of understand shame games will be for door for overcall. that.

mama one can change haggle. but he looks young the first time for the young. to do. and as if life isn't tough enough for those children we have been hearing to have countries and i grappling with how to rebuild it's a potentially radicalized youngsters when they are sent to live with that of the relatives. we have a moral obligation a duty to help fix. the damage the last thing damage in the legacy of our intervention and of previous governments. claim to be acting on our behalf

we have to try and fix the mess we've created in a in an evidence based in a moderate way and not with bullets i don't think that we can you know straight away go all you know western intervention is to blame for this isis is to blame for this extremism is to blame for this the parents who were extreme in their beliefs are to blame for this this isn't you know i didn't write a colossus children i didn't teach the children that their parents were martyrs but isn't my doing in that is a western intervention doing that was the doing of those who were extreme that were behaving in history manner when people are under threat of being wiped out then the people who talk the toughest game they rise to prominence in such a society i was as i was about to explain like here when people think that immigrants are stealing their jobs then. immigration far right parties you know come to the fore and rally people around them what you're saying is that huge in

the area on the ground they that were killed by by a terrorist extremist radicalized muslim that what those parents should you couldn't blame them if they now came out became violent i don't want to see any child go through that and obviously we we do need to do whatever we can do but the moral compass is not only on the west it just isn't for these children we need to first hold them and put them out of immediate danger and then in co-create a strong sense of identity in them as you know m i five report in two thousand and eight suggested and confirmed a world brand of islam an identity religious identity is actually a. fire wall a preventative measure to political violate the less islam not more of it right now . now britain's foreign secretary has dodged cause in parliament to apologize for an offensive remark he made earlier in the month about removing dead

bodies in libya so it could become a world class tourist business destination. he know he would be trying to do is call me and i will he tell us whether or not he's best pleased to take forward our relationship with libya is going to be very easy i do believe that political point scoring a discontinuity. review on trivializing the reality trivializing the removing the realities of the security situation in should does any favors does anything you do to the people of libya they say politics has a short memory but boris as you say is once again being called upon to apologize for these comments that he made two weeks ago now and he's once again not apologizing for them he is in fact accusing his questioners of trivializing and point scoring as far as the situation in libya goes it's two weeks since he said that search could be the new dubai on one important condition that's his comment

because he tells me. just how you see. these people you do. you. feel you. believe he gives you the citizen more so that was on the fringes of the tory party conference two weeks ago but the affects of those comments are still rebounding on johnson today when he asked when he was asked how he thought his comments affected the people of libya he said he was just trying to bring people together and of course the predictable reply came from stephen geffen of the s.n.p. he said well you have brought people together you've brought people together from all sides of the political spectrum in libya to roundly condemned you. as a fresh call for johnson's resignation this morning that's from s.n.p. m.p. david linton he tweeted quite boldly he should resign because of course this is the

latest in a long line of gaffes committed by. the foreign secretary at the end of last month he was visiting my own ma and he had to be stopped by the ambassador there from reciting a colonial era kipling poem in front of assembled local dignitaries and of course it was all caught on camera let's see it. works. for george. walker. poem that johnson was trying to recite is seen as quite offensive by locals so the opinion forming and growing that for a top diplomats boris johnson isn't really very diplomatic nor smith will stay with britain because in a few years time victims of certain crimes in london might need to think twice

before calling the police that spits the authorities in the capital facing drastic cuts and police chiefs now saying they might have to stop investigating so-called low level crime says and see chalking up reports. imagine you get robbed on the street and the police tells you sorry we won't be able to investigate it the police here in london seem to have had enough of being stretched to their limits with a force now saying it will have to ignore low level crime the idea is to say four hundred million pounds by twenty twentieth's and ease the burden on the just over thirty thousand police officers in the capital in addition gun crime crimes and sex offenses are up and calls to non non non have risen but some percent all this against the backdrop of the current sort of threat and unwavering commitment to keep london and london a safe so we're having to balance the books with fewer offices and less money the met police are reassuring the public that the new approach is not going to affect homicide investigations kidnapping sexual offenses hate crime or domestic violence

but rather lower level offenses such as shoplifting car crime and criminal damage. the home office says there's nothing to worry about there is more money and more officers for each londoner than anywhere else in the country and this government will continue to ensure that the metropolitan police have the resources they need

to cut crime and keep our community safe but what does the public make of all this because there's just going to encourage that people would commit more low level crimes wouldn't it because if you know that there's no repercussion for your crime . sort of leaves it open ended doesn't it we hear a lot of things going on in the street and i'm terrified to go outside to be honest with you because you don't want to get involved in something like that so if they're going to start separating that and maybe my calls that night or my neighbor's calls that night may not be answered anymore makes me quite nervous they would start to do something more and more of on these or as a retired police officer i kind of in any way you've got your support and you differentiate between not investigate because as i understand they will go and report the crime but if there's no leads off towards the north think it's reasonable to investigate an associate you're going to archie a lot. of the stuff needs to place more to come including hillary clinton is using

the claims against disgraceful producer harvey weinstein to have a go at donald trump and have more not less of the stories after the break. in case you're new to the game this is how it works not the economy is built around corporations corporations run washington washington media the media. and voters elected a businessman to run this country business equals power who must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. well the truth seems wrong but all roles just don't all.

get to shape out just days after. and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. again with our revelations of sexual misconduct by the disgraced movie mogul harvey weinstein have shaken the entertainment industry with more and more women coming forward about being abused by powerful executives and russia has not escaped getting drawn into the coverage either the news website foreign policy has written about how russian media has responded saying that outlets are making light of the

situation but unlike other major scandals in the u.s. at least moscow isn't being directly. the fall out over the weinstein scandal decades of sexual harassment claims women kucing rape even hollywood a listers angelina jolie leave when it's true i said you know a million times my heart was racing and i was very serious with a hollywood heavyweight in the eye of the storm some political figures have been dragged in is well being a long time during the at the democratic party weinstein has also made payments to the clinton foundation and personally contributed over thirty thousand us dollars to hillary clinton's presidential campaign it's a killer of clinton a while to condemn weinstein but when she did a few days after the scandal broke clinton couldn't resist bringing another person into the equation look we just elected a person who admitted sexual assault to the presidency perhaps the only shock to hit was that she didn't find

a way to mention the russians arguably the hollywood harassment scandal is the only major issue in the u.s. not to be pinned on russia even the american football control the c. of the n.f.l. players needling in protest and donald trump lashing out at them for being unpatriotic came down to this hashtag chicken and all. were caught in it well they were chicken of the argument this past weekend and pushing them off their troll farms as much as they could to try to just raise the noise level in america the black lives and most of protests also orchestrated by the russians apparently to see division in american society forgetting the actual issue of racism and police brutality at least one of the ads that was bought by this russian troll farm on facebook was a black lives matter add three thousand ads purchased by russian hackers to so political chaos in the u.s.

exploit hot button racial and religious issues russian books were also accused of amplifying the. based on fracking in america and environmental issue that's been running for decades the powers that are looking to to have global policies need someone to blame for for the opposition that they face and they have to deal with the opposition so it's best to call them names and to say that they're just puppets of someone else and the russians provide an easy target just talk about how evil rushes and and how all the opposition to them is a spouse from a bad source and it's just it's a fiction and it's something that they rely upon to so what they have to sell so it will be a surprise to find out that hollywood's most decorated now laid bare have kremlin ties. the russian resort of sochi is

a melting pot of youngsters from around the globe right now with the world festival of youth and students well underway the organizers do say that this year's festival has attracted over twenty five thousand businesses and they get to enjoy a mixed week of events covering culture sports and science as well as discussing the world issues that matter to them like social injustice getting sick ways social and humanitarian activists as well as senior politicians and officials to the rule say exhibitions and plenty of entertainment to enjoy we did manage to speak to a group of american students about their time here in russia. it surprised me the most was you'll hear a lot in the united states about how russia is a very authoritarian and strict and regimented country. but being here there that just doesn't seem to be true the world has such a long tradition of bringing people together and really breaking down artificial barriers between countries whenever i go anywhere else you know they hear the

demonization of russia in the united states in the media and this you know this campaign against russia you know it's and none of it's true i think how excited everyone is to see americans i was very surprised because the conference is about anti imperialism but whenever i talk to these countries that are affected by u.s. policy and i get away they're still so excited to see us here in solidarity that it's not anti american at all but some positive reviews there well over the decades the festival has proven to be a life changing experience for some of its visit to this next we can meet manfred he does recall what it was like for him the event in moscow back in one thousand nine hundred fifty seven. cold war moscow it was something you couldn't imagine in those times. was my mother

to watch they don't send you to siberia. it was unbelievable flower was everywhere the roadway station they were greeting people by train. but the greatest impression was of course the opening of the first . word. were.

from the past to the future because policing in dubai is literally a back to takeoff offices that i could see me responding to incidents on russian developed bikes like this one. one of the developers of the high tech crime fighting driving bike told us what it

feels like to ride one. conquered the sky the next step is transporting humans were the pioneers of that this was started as a noncommercial project and wanted to encourage people in popular science just like they did you know it feels like nothing on earth you sit like you would on a cross-country bike but at the same time you feel the ground disappearing from under your feet it feels very unusual. but if you like the look of those you can read about and see what our website had back with more in just a. survival guide. to start to. look at the us to seventy. percent.

still exist. ricos treated as one. and then. i see. the island discs. trolled by the u.s. government and some puerto ricans crew even dependents joe it was the only way you can argue no me. either with that i'm going to sort of i mean we're digging a game where you. still do wish to join the u.s. hundreds more leave every day. with the country at a crossroads of the island is on the rise. hey

there i'm lindsey francis is the boss broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. coming up oil prices are shaky and domestic conflicts are rife among opec nations we take a look at the status of the cuts they agreed upon to boost prices per barrel and the big banks have turned away from block chain technology for quite some time but they could be changing we explore that and it's been three decades since the infamous black monday stock market meltdown could we have another supercross will discuss how markets have more since one thousand nine hundred seventy my guest former u.s. attorney commissioner bart chilton stand by boom bust start right now. boiled

production by the organization of petroleum exporting countries member states and affiliate nations increased again in september it's had a level that's beyond the limit the group had agreed on in order to push up prices since november of last year the cartel has tried to keep production within thirty two point five. barrels per day well it rose to around eighty eight thousand last month to thirty two point seven five barrels per day on average now libya nigeria and iraq's output jumped as all face massive domestic conflicts venezuela's production dropped as its financial crisis unfolds their oil has strengthened in recent weeks with brant crude hitting fifty nine dollars late last month dropping to around fifty seven and slowly recovering now to around fifty eight in the meantime b.p. midstream is pushing forward with an initial public offering its a unit of b.p.'s us pipeline unit it expects to sell forty two point five million

shares and then raise up to eight hundred ninety three million dollars in its i.p.o. on the new york stock exchange under the symbol b.p. m.p. according to a filing with the u.s. securities and exchange commission shares are slated for a suggested price range of nineteen dollars to twenty one dollars each. and according to the u.k.'s office for national statistics blue book of britain's surplus of four hundred sixty nine billion pounds has slid down to a net deficit of twenty two billion pounds and best known in the u.k. in the first half of two thousand and sixteen fell from one hundred twenty billion pounds surplus to twenty five billion pound deficit over the same period this year it all puts the u.k. in a very weak position and with separation talks from the european union on monday u.k. prime minister theresa may met with the leaders as the block is set to decide if there is any point to reviving the latest round of deadlock divorce negotiations

leaders of the e.u. is twenty seven member states demands that first a financial settlement between eighty eight million billion dollars and one hundred twenty billion dollars be paid to resolve outstanding commitments that britain has with the e.u. also the rights of e.u. citizens on the status of the border between ireland and northern ireland must be closed out before talk of trade and security can move forward. aggressive demands by the u.s. have changed the town of north american free trade agreement tops making a possible end to the deal more of a reality than ever some say american negotiators are purposefully sabotaging the longstanding agreement between canada mexico and the u.s. but others say it fits perfectly with president trump style of quote unquote negotiating are the highlights joins us with more from toronto alex u.s.

negotiators have dropped some bombs and have to talks unite both now which in a best case scenario will drag the process out further what's the latest was the fourth round of negotiations and what the u.s. says done is brought out a plate of things that are palatable to canada and mexico so here's a short list of some of the ideas the u.s. has been throwed out some that nafta demands first of all the sunset clause and sunset clause could end after five years the other countries don't really like that idea but the u.s. say we need this bill to it's about now after two point zero agreement second is that an foresman mechanism now this is the big one for canada it's really sort of stood behind this idea it's chapter nineteen of nafta that's really were most of the information is on this basically it provides an alternative to judicial review by domestic courts and what it does is it creates an independent by national panel to resolve cases such as dumping or duty case and stuff like that so this panel has

been something canada has been very very passionate about and really wants to see and remain within nafta if we do more move forward with nafta then number three is just a different industry such as textiles and automobile parts automobiles parts of something we've talked about over and over again it's this buy america thing from donald trump you want space of the sea fifty percent of all parts in car. built in north america come from the us that would completely just screw up the whole supply chain that we have from mexico to canada to the us parts cross the border every single day and that's the way we build cars as it stands and the industry has been up in arms over this idea and in the states as well so a lot of american businesses are saying that this is just not a good thing and that donald trump has to step back now ask for donald trump i mean this isn't the first time we've seen him do this with any type of agreements let's say we know with the rand deal we know what he was talking about when it comes to

health care we know that with the whole building the wall and with immigrants in the states it seems to be the policy of let's destroy things and then rebuild from here and this is an idea that many people are saying that trump might be looking in to put putting in that clause which would shut down nafta given about six months left of life but someplace in there he want to renegotiate a new nafta mexico has said no way if he says no to nafta we are not renegotiating within that six month period so bottom line is right now the whole idea that before christmas that we could have a new nafta agreement well that looks like it's right out the window and when it comes to canada well canada is kind of sitting back and thinking we have a lot of bilateral agreements with the nafta goes well we're not really thrown out the window so if the top and some are saying canada is ready to throw mexico right under that bus well they're obvious an option in the u.s. congress leaving out time but it seems that bret's might be interested what's going on across the pond. plan b. for the brits. everything falls apart the way it's working they're looking at nab

now this is actually come from the from the telegraph the london telegraph which is close to the conservative party saying these talks are actually really happening with that's what a lot of of the politicians there are saying that nafta looks like it might be a good way for the brits to go but if there is no nafta what could the brits do so there's all this speculation up in the air. why not join canada tighter agreement with catered to the to the point where the brits would almost become canadian and then they could join in well we would see to the scope of the economic trade agreement that canada has with europe which is a side agreement and the brits could leave bricks and then kind of loop around the back door if they wanted to that would be a little bit ridiculous but there's all kinds of ideas out there right now almost canadian i wish many people have around the world thank you very much for your input on this alex and highlights from toronto thank you sales of i information medication rest states this earned drug manufacturer allergy at one point four

billion dollars last year recently eyebrows were raised when it transferred the patent to st regis mohawk tribe in upstate new york and took advantage of an american tribal sovereignty law to protect its patent and prevent generic makers of the restasis drug from getting approved for sale while now a texas district court judge has ruled against allegations actions in trying to extend its patent stating it's not entitled to renewed patent rights might happen tonio the host of america's lawyer joined me earlier to explain the sovereignty issue. well here's what happens drug companies get to hold the patent for ten years before they lose their monopoly and then cheaper generic versions and get to enter the market they tell us most of the time that they need those ten years to recoup the costs of research and development that's a total lie most drug makers make all their money back within about two years

seventy five percent of the costs are actually just marketing because the big pharma wants this pay they want to charge these ridiculous amounts of money for prescriptions and they want to say well gee whiz this is all about research and development it's not it's about marketing it's about the idea in two years they've got all their money back and most of the people to understand government pays for most of the research drug companies spend close to seven billion dollars a year on stock buyouts to make their shareholders even wealthier and they do that lindsay during a time when the federal government this is this is where i really ought to make angry federal government funds close to fifty percent of all the research and development that a company like allegan has to pay and well thought about this patent troll issue is that our going claims what do you think of the generic makers moving in on a name brand name brand territory and having sometimes a shorter f.d.a. approval period or government approval period for this patent allegan says it's a troll issue they say it's this this deal is

a sophisticated opportunity to strengthen the defensive as our of our for status intellectual property what do you think of this argument yeah yeah well look this is nonsense allard again is scamming the system again it's just the latest in a long line of schemes hatched by drug companies in order to prevent generic drugs from entering the market in the past they've tried things like tweaking their formula a little bit in order to claim a new patent but this move giving the path to a group with sovereign immunity is a whole new level of disgusting let's not forget this is what you have to understand trends follow. companies let's not forget that allegan has a history of manipulation earlier this year the company settled the whistleblower lawsuit for thirteen million dollars after doctors came forward and clearly showed that the company was actually involved in kickbacks to doctors for prescribing their medication the drug that they're now trying to hand over to native tribes to protected their. look i got to tell you some of had thirty five years going to war

with companies like allergy and these are the folks that park their money offshore so they don't have to pay taxes they get the government to pay for the research and development they have all types of scams where they run they go to universities they have to have professors write phoneys up literature form look this is a drug company lindsey that pulls in about one point five billion dollars a year and they're going to give the native group that they're talking about about fifteen million percent yup is long is long as they don't lose the patent right well you know people i talk to. in tribal law say that this is a classic case of what is commonly referred to as rent a tribe you go you find a sovereign tribe and you basically pay them to hold on to your business for you and it could actually put into danger tribal sovereignty if this is a controlled within the tribe and now we've got lawmakers saying we want to close this loophole how dangerous is this for tribal sovereignty in our country. well

it's a terror it's terrible look drug companies understand for example the financial problems that plague native tribes all over the country so they're using that to manipulate those tribes native americans have been nearly completely left out of any kind of economic recovery in the last few years so this company's taken advantage of that their native tribes you have an employment levels nearly double that of the overall population they have a higher higher poverty rate they lag behind in education more than one in four native people live in total poverty their labor force participation is about somewhere i think around sixty percent the lowest of all race and race groups nearly eighty percent of native americans have no access to clean water or basic sanitation so here that's where al again says oh wow we have an area of total despair let us now take advantage of the area of total despair lynsey it's the same thing that we see these companies doing with opioids let's go to parts of the

country where there's total despair where they have nothing to gain and so the opiate industry is in there for that reason this company is in there simply because they can take advantage of all the misfortune that these tribes are facing and you're right it does create a problem to where the next to lose. their sovereignty to say we're an entity our reservation is an entity that doesn't have to play by all the federal rules because we have our own tribal law that is it risk this company doesn't care about that all they care about is making more money that's the ugly part of a story like this this company has a history of that and they'll continue that history until somebody really slaps them down somebody has got to slap this company down for what they're doing here well the mosque claim it's not diversifying their income as you pointed out at between fourteen to fifteen million dollars a pound three thousand i considering what the drug companies make on rest face

that's just one drug that allegan has. used to like it would behoove the mohawks and tribes like the hawks to. regulate this from within because it seems dangerous that especially hawks on the hill who want to eat in on tribal sovereignty to find this as the perfect excuse of taking that away from eating at it. well right now for example the there's a case going on where we're claiming that the indian tribes have their own law to be able to go after the distributors of opioids ok because they ought to be able to sue him under the very schematics of law not the feds right the feds are always trying to take away from the reservation take away from that right and so that's what we see here is that calling for one who would know better than you thank you so much for weighing in on this for us mike papantonio the house of america's lawyer thank you. time now for a quick break but stick around because when we return big banks may have

successfully ignored block chain technology but the tide is turning and it's thirty years since the infamous black monday stock market meltdown could we have another super crash or discuss how markets have more since nine hundred eighty seven with my guest as we go to break here are the numbers the closing bell. about your sudden passing i phone leaches learned you worry yourself and taken your last turn. to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry. so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each spring. but then my feeling started to change you talked about more like it was again still

some more fun to view those that didn't like to question or are. secretly promised to never feel like it's one does not leave a funeral in the same as one enters mind it's consumed with this one. speech there are no other takers. that means tree media has met its maker. computer science researchers at catholic university of love in belgium have discovered serious weaknesses in w.p.a. too it's what protects all communication between modern why fight networks so it's eavesdropping time when a person using wi-fi is there anyone using crack to tap into the wife i signals

crack is short for key reinstallation attacks crack is used to access information such as credit card numbers passwords chat messages emails photos basically anything you don't want anyone to see by breaking into w.p.a. two it was previously thought to be encrypted the data can be manipulated and ransomware can be injected using the weakness. for years big banks and firms ignored block chain and its potential but now the mood toward the digital ledger is changing with the major companies hopping on board for she has more on that for us at best it takes several days in order for international transactions to be completed and in a world that's more connected than ever that can get frustrating very quickly on order to fix that american tech giant i.b.m.

is looking to the block chain on monday i.b.m. announced a new partnership with block start up stellar and payments company quick x. in a press release a senior vice president of i.b.m. industry platform said with the guidance of some of the world's leading financial institutions i.b.m. is working to explore new ways to make payment networks more efficient and transparent so that banking can happen in real time even in the most remote parts of the world making distributed larger technologies more interoperable is the latest example of i.b.m.'s leadership driving the rapid advancement of change and one of the banks that i.b.m. will be working with to implement the new process is t.d. bank and in the press release the bank's cheap digital and payments officer said we're focused on innovation that adds value for our customers and our business and block chain presents a tremendous opportunity to transform and it has payment systems enabling us to continue to evolve the products and services we can offer and last year i.b.m.

introduced the i.b.m. block chain and then in the summer announce a block in partnership with food companies to improve the food supply chain so the banks latest move is an example of the growing collaboration between the finance world and private firms it also demonstrates how the attitude for the decentralized has changed over time and this goes beyond just payments more new. it becomes a more likely blocked chain is to impact other areas like identity systems or loan programs. let's talk more about that how could the block chain affect identity protection systems and those those loan programs especially with identity protection seems huge so proponents of blocked train would say that for one it makes loans easier for it makes it easier for companies to apply for to be approved for loans because it would eliminate all the burdensome processes that they have to go through i mean a lot of them are still. parts of the process are still paper based so they're

still relying on fax machines for parts of their communication and of course part of the reason that is because of security concerns which kind of goes into the next part about identity the block chain is encrypted so it offers an extra level of protection that protects not only the company but also their clients from hackers or any other sort of criminal networks that might try in and get your information or your money so there certainly are a lot of attractive features of the block chain it's just a matter of these big companies that for a long time are rolling their eyes at it warming up to them and then scaling it up and if you protect the customers you protect yourself as well great speaking of i.b.m. one of the inventors made some interesting comments about humans and robots for finding that more and more among tech leaders are going to tell us about john mcnamara was a senior inventor at i.b.m. wrote a submission to the u.k. house of lords saying that humans could become reliant on implanted technology within the next few decades and of course he doesn't represent the rest of the

company this is just his thoughts but he had a pretty smart guy and yes he is probably pretty smart and i think what caught a lot of people's attention was that you know on one hand he said in plant a technology could eventually help us we're pair of bodies if we have a broken bone or maybe damage to our muscles or cells but then he also said it could quote human cognitive capabilities so could start affecting our brains and perhaps. way we think and process information so i think that's what you know some people on ads now because you're walking around totally out of it you got a chip in your brain you've got a pen and on a device that's just not you thank you so much been passed down. what three decades have passed since the dow jones industrial average tumbled more than five hundred points in a single day the black monday crash in one nine hundred eighty seven started in hong kong shifted to europe and then u.s. markets were hit hard joining me to discuss this former u.s. attorney commissioner bart chilton horrible day for the markets back in nineteen

eighty seven hard to believe it's been thirty years there's a lot of uncertainty at that time not just in the markets but obviously around the world the way it spread how if the markets more sense then is it safe to assume it's better could that ever happen again in that same way it's safe to assume things are better that way you know never say never on on these sorts of market calamities we have seen and i think you know regulators are not particularly great at being nimble or quick are seeing around the corner so don't expect that they're going to step in and try to do something anytime soon to prevent another calamity but bottom line they have changed i mean the fed is very much more involved in monetary policy than they were then it was billions now which trillions with the quantitative easing that they're getting out of that changes our economy it changes markets and we've got a bunch of new players to that are you know in these markets so you know things have changed but i think by and large things are a little bit better ok let me ask you about some specifics that didn't even exist

you talked about new players exchange traded funds and yes yeah i mean that's the way these exchange traded funds are real way for average folks to get exposure to different things that without going ahead and buying it particularly you know in my old area in the commodities of me it's not like you can invest other than maybe for your dinner in corn but through an e.t.f. you can invest in. different commodities oil or gold and it gives you the you know the e.t.f. try to keep that exposure so that it mirrors the price the futures price and so i think that's a pretty good thing and in the e.t.f. themselves is like stock are also you know different venues for people to invest in so there's more places that people can invest and i think that's a good thing to ok so it's spread out but let's talk about speed we've got these cheat as a high frequency traders and of course algorithmic trading or even touch on a i guess the sara lee yet but but tell us about this so when you go back three

decades to the black monday they had some rudimentary algorithmic trading but it was really you know they didn't want to stop loss i mean it was computerized but it wasn't fast and it was fairly it was a blunt trading tool put it that way but now with the cheetahs with the h f t's they are you know scooping up micro dollars in milliseconds they are in and out of these markets all the time now the good news is that you know there's lots of liquidity i mean somebody is on the other side of those trades even if it's just for less than a second somebody is getting it somebody is hitting that bit or off or so that's a good thing but is speed necessarily good and you know there comes a point where you have to say when we see things in markets do we want things to happen as fast as they can with these cheap is really in control lot of liquidity in markets today that we talk about these massive passives as you call them this

group of traders who are they and how do they change the markets with a massive passives or really a group that came before is in the mid two thousand and they are like pension funds and that they did is they were making so much money and doing really well in the stock market they decided to diversify into the derivatives markets and so they took took large chunks of their portfolio and said you know let's put a little bit in agriculture let's little put a little bit in the energy complex let's put a little bit in the metals complex and instead of getting in and out like. most traders do or what they did back in the day they get in and out of markets these massive passons would take large amounts massive and they would put them there and letting them sit passive and they would do this for years so their bet was for example lindsey they think the price of oil is going to raise in two or three years not next week or anything and that's a safer bet by and large so. they also add liquidity but they change markets

a little bit i was worried you know back when i was at the commission about concentration but that same seems to ameliorate it was a concentration of too many of them pushing a price one way or another but my former agency seems to have a good a good bead on that and keeping excessive speculation out of the way interesting how much it's changed we've seen other market drops two thousand and ten there was that flash crash. dropped nearly a thousand points poor recovering much of that loss it was huge we're at you we're at two year old commissioner job what are we likely to see as far as flash crashes or any other black monday or anything like that a time soon two thousand and ten was huge but it just went so fast well back then like i said when you have these cheaters in the market not that they were the cause of it was actually algorithmic program just plain that can tank markets in a quick in a quick hurry so we need to watch about those things going forward absolutely thank you so much former u.s. attorney commissioner part shelter. thanks for watching be sure to catch on direct
