the central household in america it's the national debt the unaccounted for damage all security medicare medicaid the corporate debt and yet all that debt together i haven't seen the numbers lately but it's something in excess of five hundred thousand dollars per household and because the debt seller is wall street packages debt sells that makes money and profits and fees from that they feel like they need to make even greater profits they have a big fat cattle prod that they stick into everyone's back and they say negative interest rates are good for you go buy more go give us more of your money go into debt go buy margin go into marja give us more. wealth tax reform pledge by president donald trump to be completed before christmas also a limited a key portion of obamacare the affordable care act and what might that mean for

individuals in our country joining us now from denver is hadley heath manning the director of policy for independent the independent women's forum hadley thank you so much for being with us really appreciate your time and before we get to it can you tell us just a little bit about your organization your history. current independent women's forum is a twenty five year old organization based in washington d.c. and our mission is to give out issues of importance to women and family and that of course tax reform and health reform in that bucket but now on to health care i'm not sure if it's going to happen or not be a see a portion it looks like it might but you know if the individual mandate is goes computing is killed what happens to that what happens to the country then what gets put in its place remember the president was going to repeal and replace what doesn't seem like there's any replace now so what happens do you think. it's

a fascinating issue for people who like to study help policy of course the individual mandate and itself isn't really a solution in terms of health policy it's sort of the side effect or a symptom once you create regulatory environment that might invite people to only buy health insurance when they do have health care problems or when they become sick and that's the case under the affordable care act then you have to create some kind of mechanism to encourage people to buy into the system even when they aren't sick when they're young and when they're healthy and that's the goal of the individual mandate that's the goal of similar mandates and other health care systems around the world for example in the swiss system there's a pretty hefty penalty that people have to pay for going without insurance and president obama when he was a candidate actually for office in two thousand and eight he said you know if we wanted to get rid of homelessness we could try to mandate that everyone buy a house but people can't buy things that they can't afford and unfortunately that's

been the case under the affordable care act many people and i just the penalty are going without insurance opting to pay the penalty which is on average between four and five hundred dollars a year for people who face the penalty versus those premiums under the affordable care act which unsubsidized cost over four hundred dollars a month for someone who's thirty years old for example so that once upon a time or what do we do how do we report that hadley how do we well you know i agree i agree there are problems but what's the solution so getting rid of the individual mandate just like putting it in place isn't really at the heart of the debate at the heart of the debate and how do we make those health insurance premiums more affordable for people because that's ultimately the greatest incentive to buy health insurance something that most people want to carry especially considering the high cost of medical care in this country and making health insurance premiums more affordable this is a subject of great debate over the summer as republicans put together a health care package that ultimately did not pass but one of their. ingredients

was let's give states the opportunity to change some of the regulations under the affordable care act for example essential health benefits which is a list that the department of health and human services but together a every plan must cover this ten different categories that parents services in our health care system where as some people may not want to buy a policy that includes every category every treatment service that the federal government as necessary or essential and so mary moving that regulation or at least offering greater flexibility for states there might be opportunities for insurers the together more basic insurance plans don't cover everything but of course not everyone needs every coverage being the average premiums come down that's ultimately a solution hadley heath met a the director of policy for independent women's forum thanks for your time thank you.

record for record livestock production the united states is making food more affordable for all of us but what is the impact on agriculturally dependent states and is there a way for us to use our vast resources more efficiently maybe effectively maybe even on foreign policy we'll get some of the facts that will harvest from the author of bet the farm how food stop being food fred kaufman joins us from new york fred thank you for being with us the department of agriculture released a recent report which documents that the cost of food for families is about seventy one hundred dollars per year that's only up just a little bit over last year and that has really impacted iowa and south dakota where in the second quarter of the year the g.d.p. the gross domestic product would generally negative but as important there are twenty three other states so you combine that solve all of those that half the states and the nations are being impacted negatively by these food prices because

of the commodities that they grow obviously and many people don't realize how many states of the unions have a role in producing this food that makes us really the most plentiful nation in the world with regard to food at the lowest cost but what does that mean for these rural communities fred. well it's it's it's a real hit part because one of the things that we're looking at that that grocery bill and we're looking at bread xin crackers for instance which are coming from the grain from those from those states really when you're buying a ritz cracker most of that cost in the grocery store is for the packaging is for all sorts of other subsidiary costs of the grain itself grain is tanking it a much more drastic way and this is going to spell tree aaj and really there's got to be some intervention here. and you know it's tanking you're absolutely correct and you know this stuff cold but we did see this huge spike back you know two thousand and ten eleven where all commodities were run

a tear and one of the things you know people don't actually understand that these cost of production are actually tied to the commodity be a corn wheat beans or hawgs or live live cattle so we produce all this food fred but how much of the prices actually get back to rural communities at the same time the question just real quick at the same time fred we've got hunger and malnutrition all around the world how do we deal with this problem. we've got eight hundred fifteen million people around the world who are hungry we have all this excess wheat in this country so much access that the price is going down in terms of this spike you have to realize that even during those years one of the reasons for that spike was the unbelievable influx of wall street money which is just been sucked out of the commodity sector because of this overheated stock market so this is actually a really old problem this is not something new since the beginning of civilization

farmers have come to market all at the same time with an oversupply of their grains and the prices have tanked and there's a really old and simple solution to this from mesopotamia to egypt to ancient china up until the present day this is the moment for government intervention either to go in there and set price floors to. buy the grain and put it in a grain reserve and what will happen is you will stabilize that price you will bring it up food is too important to be messing around and driving farmers out of business now some might ask well what does the government need to do with their grain in fact every country on earth except the united states has a national grain reserve to guarantee food sovereignty why doesn't the united states have this it's absolutely absurd so once we have that grain what can we do with it well there are a number of things we can do with it either put it in that grain reserve or do the traditional thing we've done with foreign relations and use

a plow shares in swords diplomacy and start getting that food out to the world where it's needed most which also happens to be places where we need to get some political clout places where terrorism is breeding in eastern africa and places like that where the united states can really come in and do the savior. fantastica but do you think this is ministrations able to comprehend and get on that task fred that foreign policy component of commodities this administration is. is particularly unable to understand any of these subtleties they've been events aerating the diplomatic corps they have no sense of the pushes and pulls of how foreign diplomacy works and they also don't understand foreign trade i mean they're putting up all these tariffs and barriers and what's that what's that doing it's making the e.u. and france in particular putting up their own tariffs and barriers to protect their own farmers so they're not put in the position of well really the farmers let's say

in a country like like india who are losing so much money that farmer suicides are very common people are drinking the pesticides which were meant for their crops it's a global shame fred kaufman author of bet the farm how food stop being food our gratitude for your time. before we go yesterday i used a little poem at the end of the show i was asked if i had more and or unfortunately or fortunately there are a few more i modestly tell audience that i am the best financial poet in the world i'm also the worst financial poet in the world but the only financial poet in the world on the program we talk about business and finance and we cover issues that might not just be related to things happening now but we try to look around the corner and try to be

a little bit nimble and quick and see what's next in that regard with regard to financial markets i've often asked audiences to consider the future so here you go markets seem to be moving near the speed of light so it's a good time to ask are things all right given the current structure of the existing scheme are these the best markets we ever see are the efficient and effective safe and secure or were they better in the days of your you know with trading floors was less really more. but let's not dwell on the past it goes by so fast let's go long on the future i place that bet we can have the best markets we've ever had yet but it will take tough questions what about you if one has strict new rules should the other one to would you slow down speeds if it impacted your profit needs would you reduce the volume if it leveled your exchange ship would you drink that all down or would you just take a sip how about digital currencies is that where we should stash our cash and what

about these dark pools that seem all the rage are they really what's best for this age at this stage and some of the rules if i dare do say they're stupid they're silly they get in darren way so let's consider the future let's look at it anew which things are important what should we do. i know folks here at boom bust will be looking at those questions going into twenty eighteen thanks for watching if you're to catch boom bust on you tube at youtube dot com slash boom bust r.t. see you next time. was running insisting that we did not in keeping him i am. i was to twenty list as lost as they are the. last that.

warning that the wives of kill deisel fighters are now more effective at spreading the message of hate. and thousands of documents relating to controversial episodes in british history have gone missing with the national archives claiming that civil servants simply misplaced. international live from our moscow studio with me in a day or two to welcome to the program. an improvised bomb has exploded in a supermarket in the russian city of st petersburg these images that you see now from from inside the store where the device went off injuring ten people counterterrorist investigators are handling the case but it's so far unclear whether the incident is terror lated the bomb was placed inside

a locker near the entrance to the supermarket our correspondent reports from the scene. the area around the supermarket is no longer no x. is old but no one is allowed to go inside where clearly work is our doorway because everyone wants to get the answers from the investigators was it terrorists or dots it is surely authorities worse say that it's very likely that the blast had nothing to do with terrorism but then we found out that it was as powerful as the dead today should of two hundred grams of t.n.t. plus what the authorities are calling it explosive device was stuffed with balls apparently for more damage and that may change everything mentionable i saw a woman come out of the supermarket with a jacket and gloves on her face and the man limping there was a lot of smoke. i was on the bus home from work and when i got out at around six

fifty i heard a bang and walked over here there were already ambulances fire fighters and smoke five hundred meters away so the sound of the blast could be heard over there might do but i looked out the window and saw a lot of fire trucks and police asked what had happened and was told there had been an explosion so luckily no one was killed but people had to be treated at a hospital and there could have been war what did people stores and supermarkets across st petersburg are packed with locals who are prepping for what could be the . both celebrate the holiday russia that new year's eve earlier we spoke to some witnesses of this flast and here is what they told us nobody here in st petersburg wants to hear bad news during the holiday season for the police investigators especially bearing the bike that the last major terrorist attack in russia happened

at a better trade and the city in the coming days security here will be over while big let's wait for the authorities have something else to say. political scientist max a palace told us it's too many to jump to conclusions but i've been hearing about this this case said that it was indeed some kind of in the lansky dr an individual or group that attacked a supermarket clearly a civilian target and yet we can't really know yet whether it's terrorism because we don't know what the motive is it political or is it perhaps a few you know among employees which which would not be terrorism and so we don't really know the motive yet and so for that reason we don't know whether or not it's terrorists but for the average person on the street that distinction may be you know very academic regardless of what the motive this when you have bombs going off

in civilian areas especially as the holidays approach that does generate terror. the german security service has identified a female terror network spreading islamist ideology online maria finished in airports. that's not for the first time what we see women actively involved in promoting jihadist fuz we have been hearing reports about isis female recruiters since of police twenty fourteen those are a wives of a killed islamic state who decided after the death of their husbands to somehow continue that fight but now germany says that the number is on a constant dramatic rise in women and ideology promotes says the men have realized that women could work much better for expanding the scene in this most recent case germany identified what they called the islamist terrorist women's network

consisting of a least forty what they call sisters who follow an ultra conservative branch of islam known as seller fees and spread extremist views via internet particularly targeting so-called nonbelievers the german authorities stress that it would be wrong to equal salafism to terrorists but at the same time they add that it could be potential breeding ground for terrorists all over europe including here in germany especially following last year's berlin terror attack christmas has said had become the time for extra concerns and worries over security because christians and their faith and their holidays and everything that is connected to it include in christmas mark is that they're now operating and will be open for the next week at least all over europe have repeatedly been targeted by islam ist so it has been bet for quite some time but now fears are increasing with the number of those who

share salafist views here in germany rose to an all time high according to the country's intelligence agency germany sees it as a direct result of dramatic losses in the middle east and as a consequence a rising number of returning to europe. women and now they say that with the feet of so-called islamic state in syria and iraq europe security could be as fragile as never before. after the fall of islamic state in syria and iraq more tales of horror are emerging of life under the terrorists rule kurdish minority families in iraq known as easy to use suffer to capture death or in slaves and our senior correspondent rod causative has been speaking with some of the families who managed to survive the ordeal we'll show you the full interviews on thursday.

we were captured we spent two months in iraq then we were taken to syria they made me a slave were put to work and held with the troops where we were given a one hour day to rest and then to run away the court men looked me in the toilet for three days without food or water or try to escape again and again but each time i was caught beaten and severely tortured the shot my friends would beg them for mercy on our knees they were hit by mr reich and i was concur sed by has to hers i can talk all on. your monologue and i was pregnant but i was sore terrified that i lost my child my husband and family were cultured i was left alone with my mother so i took poison i decided it was better to die when they caught me i thought that since my family my husband and my house were gone it would be better to die. in twenty fourteen up to

ten thousand years c.d.'s were killed or kidnapped by eisel in a matter of days of those a third were executed however the true scale of the tragedy may never be fully know the testimonies that have emerged suggest many have been tortured beheaded or even burnt alive in many cases entire families were captured together women and girls were often sold as sex slaves while young boys were forced to become myself fighters someone not even old enough to score when they were forced to serve the terrorists. my daughter was five years old when she was captured years have passed since then so she is nine we endured a lot of suffering my brother escaped and i stayed at his place then he died instant jar i was desperate after his death and i went to stay with my other brother he is poor and has young children all girls. now thousands of documents relating to controversial episode in british history appear

to be missing the national archives claim they were misplaced or removed by civil servants and the revelation has sparked an outcry the british people deserve to know what the government has done in their name and their loss will only fuel accuse ations of a cover up as a story and it's impossible to believe this loss the declassified files themselves show governments view the public largely as a threat the threat of democracy is deeply embedded if it happened in russia for example would be up in arms about corrupt governments this is the british way to avoid scrutiny of its past misdeeds. looks at which pages of history have been lost the national archive is a very important resource especially for people like historians and journalists because it keeps documents relating to the country's history and the idea is a perfectly transparent system whereby once the government up.
