the storyteller when it came to the battle for aleppo people executed it's as simple as that what can i do here in syria blend in the crowd i don't think so am i going to turn my so over to the regime forces absolutely not so what that he's giving a platform to a suicide bomber right at least he's taking all the right boxes they say you have to protect human rights and they support the terrorism so how on earth is of poor human rights a supporter of that's that's the bottom line of what they are hippocratic the they have double standards. if this happens in the u.s. mainland would they accept that terrorists will be available terrorist organizations and to say the they have good cause of course not the mainstream media has a habit of putting itself on a journalistic pedestal getting the facts right giving balance and using trusted

sources but those standards appear to be selective and only if the story fits the cover it was done of r.t. while fighting in syria is no concentrated in it live province the only major air of the country still held by rebel forces is exclusive video with of government troops battling a higher terror the al-qaeda affiliate formerly known as. the four.

german children's t.v. channels caused controversy by airing a documentary about the relationship between one syrian guy and is german girlfriend critics say it fails to challenge the repression of women you make your judgments coming up stuff i cannot wear short things always long things these kinds of us which i cannot accept my wife looking like this is very difficult for me and for arab men in general i do not like other guys talking to my girlfriend she belongs to me i belong those are my rules. by this doesn't mean we can't eat pork this is forbidden. that's just in case it's what's written in the qur'an it's now keyed to it it is not normal news and so i asked do i really have to put to us this will have to live together i stopped it in one concerned parent who described herself as a qualified psychologist has written an open letter now calling the program an

attack on the emancipation of women she says the channels portraying a repressive relationship in a positive light we got reaction from two guests with opposing views on the program . i'm not sure that that's the role of a publicly funded agency or a media outlet if a private company or a cultural center wanted to do it sure but the idea of german taxpayers paying for this kind of sort of fake romance i think it's really disturbing i don't think it's the role of the government or a government agency to to work the children against continuing the values and cultures of their parents this is not really about the ideas of those people it's not really about freedom of expression or journalism this is actually about saying look at these we had muslims and brown people with funny views and pushing it on to white impressionable and vulnerable young people in society these are real stories

and i think the most important thing of all is it's important we empower young people with good advice intolerance extremism is out there i don't even know if this is a real romance this is about a story a channel what is it what's what are the ages for these for this channel three there are c.n.n. and publicly funded channel right so you have seven and eight year olds who are watching this romantic saying i'm not even sure that was appropriate ok and so let's start there and then the idea that the idea that parents would be subverted by their own government that's absurd less on the whole of humanity they are they're all in a sense of things grand really. censor sir when it's the government and it's taxpayer money that's not censorship ok if it were if you want to do it privately with your own dime god bless go for it but if you're using taxpayer money why are you subverting the intention of the parents and the pet in the taxpayers that's the

problem how are you speaking for the son really sorry about this but just from a you know presumably in a court of law they would say how on earth are you advocating as to the intention of the parents of you is i mean where do you get off doing this stuff i think you need to get back in your box you really are in no position to say what they are i get in my locks what is i don't you know what that means what i'm saying is this ok it is my it is my guess that german parents want to see their culture and their values and their family legacies continue ok is my guess and i think i'd say two of them are on his mind and i was maria neil and the arrow and right on through in the united states and the conversation went on much more of that every week here on this channel two back to the president after the break police offices in new york so the taken legal action against the city's leaders know for releasing video to

the public we look into that in more detail eighty seconds away. all to see we have a great team but we need to strengthen before the free world cold and your backs have been a legend to keep it so it's at the back. in one thousand nine hundred two that must qualify for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in us but we won and i'm hoping to bring some of that winning spirit to the r.c.t. . recently i've had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the best fall since my last will call him that starts or three. thousand zero zero zero zero zero.

drive. left left left more or less ok stop that's really good. luck and you yanks largest police union suing its own commissioner and the city's ministration to over the release of body count footage. this was this has serious implications not only for the safety and g. process rights of police officers before the privacy and rights of members of the public as well ok let's look at the story here the union claims the release of video from officers body cameras is basically a breach a citizens privacy thing that the administration uses quote arbitrating consistent parameters and is guarded by again quote political considerations one case in point

in instant last september when a man was shot after pointing a toy gun at police that video was released despite fears it could jeopardize an ongoing investigation former officer who blew the whistle on police activities believes the current system allows videos to be used for political gain i don't think it's an all of a sudden decision if you actually read the lawsuit in the very first paragraph is states clearly what it wants and all it's asking for in the gist of the complaint is for these body camera videos not to be used selectively for political gain their best that's all that it's asking for it's asking for a better system for these to be disseminated out into the public and as of right now the two people that the complaint is listing against for seemingly abusing the authority is for murder blasio and the police commissioner itself so the complaint says that it wants just not selective you videos being removed

last year three body count videos released by the new york police department two of them showed officers shooting and killing suspects in fact a local news channel paid thirty six thousand dollars to show additional footage now the union says the videos are selected to make a point and that the incidents could be weeks or years apart or you may find something upcoming images distressing here next. hundred. hour later. on in my car. i bought. her.

she think. three point three zero. zero zero zero zero to. find after. seeing police officers being pawns in political games or get political games and they need to be protected there in the middle buffer between the law's the law

makers the people they're supposed to troll and police the laws over and then their body camera usage there in their squad car video footage is all being used either for them or against them as a as a pawn moving game and it's just not fair. truck it was happening inches it is for more violence and a cap. well there were hundreds of people took part in anti-government rallies on friday and rest has been escalating into this since new austerity measures were announced at the start of the year. i. just seen it there during the demonstration people held up yellow cards at some point calling for the tough policies to be scrapped over the past week protestors

have set does use a government buildings or the like that prompted authorities in response to deploy soldiers on the streets trying to counter it at least one demonstrators been killed eight hundred have been arrested in israel also mark instantly to the seventh anniversary of the pro-democracy arab spring uprising tomorrow sunday. another day another donald from headline in a surprise move now donald trump's announce that he's going to be attending the world economic forum in davos the decision was widely criticised though because it was america first agenda during his campaign election run the u.s. secretary of the treasury now defended the move though saying that the former is not purely for globalists not everyone is happy to see trump go there for one as he replaced groups launched a petition calling for the u.s. president to stay out of divorce so far that's been signed by over eleven thousand people make use of racism islamophobia warmongering and attacks on human rights.

we will no longer surrender this country or its people to the false song of globalism replace the present policy of globalism with a new policy of americas we are now putting american source. that was is unique in terms of fried swill to stay cold or quote to be issues in the world cannot be so for governments alone all but business a little we should get up to and guide economic globalization and make it possible for all people to benefit from globalization. i don't think it's a hangout for the globalists i think the idea is that you can on the team is going to go over and talk about the america first economic strategy i'm totally surprised

this guy has come out with that remark because it's so unbelievable the major attraction each year for the international calls in the politan elite to have the best politics of the year davos. by definition is a fact because he's been he's a property billionaire and he's very much hate to those people and his results such as they result that he loves going to down in florida so in that sense they're all going to be the same sort of people. well he won't see if he does

we'll cover it that's it for now though i'm kevin over the next live update from moscow despite thirty five minutes time with me and more great shows lined up ready to go for you right after this short break you're watching. international. max geysers financial survival guide. housing bubble. oh you mean there's a downside to artificially low mortgage rates don't get carried away that's cause report. i had a great education a good job and a family that loved me. i never had to worry about how i would eat some where i would sleep. but i'm facing christmas alone out on the streets of london. well you know to be honest. i thought the glory like. you know the slogan still give up food for the hope of.

that you don't really feel like a human being in that. and then. the guy just came over to me saw me and gave me this book. lemme warhawks selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles they don't believe the new socks credits tell you that somebody gossips and probably by trial for the most important news today. has been telling you on the cool enough and let's fight their profit. these are the hawks that we along with our lives watching.

i. tell you this is boom bust broadcast signal for the around the world from washington d.c. i'm partial to. coming up hotels motels holiday and we'll talk about the hotel sector going into the new year and trinity charges joins us from the beating heart of the world's financial sector wall street where the bulls are still feeding as record market numbers continue to climb and canada takes united states to court at the world trade organization is it about more than lumber and is canada really speaking for others nations which think the united states has gone too far in its

protectionist policies alex mahela bitch helped to unwind that mystery plus we caught up with pollan cook about self driving cars before he left the consumer electronics show in vegas lots of really neat stuff first let's get to the business and financial headlines for the day. the european central bank might be moving to curtail their bond buying program known as quantitative easing or c q e sooner than expected as the nineteen member euro zone rebounds from the recession quicker than anticipated e.c.b. notes released from their december board meeting reveal that some think the e.c.b. q.e. is too aggressive for the times the notes indicate that the bank may soften its previously stated policy of continuing to buy sixty billion euros worth of bonds through september and reduce that amount by pretax half the eurozone economy is better than it has been in a decade with unemployment as we reported on this program last week at

a nine year low. in related news e.c.b. president mario draghi credited with saving the euro zone economy in july of two thousand and twelve when he pledged to do quote unquote whatever it takes to preserve the euro will be stepping down at the end of may when his eight year term ends. the united kingdom's hotel sector received a thirty five percent increase in investment last year totaling five billion pounds more than fifty percent of that five billion came from foreign investors as the u.k.'s hotel industry saw an increase in travelers including more tourists to the u.k. than ever before. and on that topic we are joined by president founder of straw mark a global business development firm henry ford which hillary thank you for being

here you're welcome ok so how has the hotel sector done in the past in the last year or so and put it in perspective given to related things like food service industry yes the hotel industry has just taken off and it will continue to do so particularly over the last two years and what you're finding particular when you mention with regard to the u.k. a lot of this has to also do with the chinese traveling the number one destination for the chinese is the u.k. and you know anywhere that the chinese money is going is going you know it's probably not coming here as much we're not as welcoming right in the u.s. it seems with the new president it's not that when we were does as welcoming but it has affected actually in terms of globally you look at what mario just made that big mistake in china because of course on their website they by accident i suppose posted a separate site for taiwan for tibet from macau in hong kong that is entries in china doesn't like that chinese are now boycotting marial which is american and

agro that has ramifications well jump around here a little bit so you mention. what about these programs like myriad starwood joining together how is that working or do we see more consolidation like that in the hotel industry yes we are going to see it in the middle market the middle market is growing exponentially mainly because of the experience will demond versus product demand you find that millennial is and also actually the graying of america millennialism graying of america both want greater experiences and that's what's causing a lot of this growth what's the number one experience trouble that's what's causing . like the exponential growth is coming from the drive for experiences versus products now when you when you talk of the growth i know dylan did this report recently they talked about a five or six percent growth in your hotels for this next year are they right in that report that report it not all the right notes yes i wouldn't question anything

in that report it was accurate only one thing that it omitted did not touch upon the fact that while the hotel industry is a cyclical industry as a many to usually sort of like a ten year cycle it will be different because as i mentioned graying of america this huge bubble from the baby boom is going to travel again with the forces of how exponentially experiences are growing but also the technological factor it is easy it doesn't matter who you are way you are it is an easy thing to do was travel was more time consuming than it is now with the click of your phone you could be at the airport and on the trip. and absolutely done it from experience as a puncture you have to yes so that's what might change the cycle and they didn't mention that in the report otherwise yes accurate ok well that's a pretty shit you sharing that intel with us right here better than do it good for you now i wouldn't say that even though i have a k p a g background i wouldn't say that you definitely see it if you have a k p m p back ok now what about expedient and these sorts of sites that are seem

to be consolidating themselves it is that working out for them what do you see in the future what i see is that they have to be globally more sensitive than they've ever had to be we just mentioned mariel's little snafu so to speak everybody remembers the car example of where the car that went into south america it was it was a nova nova doesn't know my god doesn't know i forgot about doesn't go so you know i think that companies have to be very sensitive in terms of sensibilities actually if you want to touch upon k p m g when i was head of global business development we had a strategy it was called global strategy local implementation what's important for expedia is that they locally have to tweak their offering the world might have become more homogeneous in terms of many things many aspects of their site will work but there are some that they have to be careful about that will be the number one difference and the concern going badly you know we get all the accounting firms in here my wife works for you and why the young and and part of her job was to

ensure that you know throughout these countries all over the world they had the right language they were saying the right things they were particularly respectful of what was going on in china as you say people need to be sensitive not just politically sensitive but they need to be sensitive to the customers are in the consumers so with expedia what the number one tip i have for them is if they're as they expand into foreign countries would be to find someone who's either from that country particularly somebody who's also had american education living somebody who is you know trans a transatlantic type person or a trans. global type person because that person will understand the cultural sensitivities of doing business in that particular nation or that particular vision of what we are marrying for if we can do it all sometimes don't we that everybody around the world does not speak english i'm not saying that we can't but it gives an advisor ball to take those local cultures under consideration so what are the big things that. things go into this year that the c.e.o.'s in the hotel industry

need to be thinking about other than being sort of politically sensitive to customers consumers yet the other big trend of course is health and wellness the generations previously older people what do they do they want to sit in a deck chair on the on the cruise ship no longer you don't have to look at some of those do some of us don't but you don't have to look at any further than your local mall where actually in the retail industry they're finding that while the department stores people actually go to malls to work out they used to be the bad guy in the mall the more owners didn't even want them now they're big revenue generator so the whole hotel industry is looking at how can they almost become a wellness center how can they have health experts on site how can they be almost like the spar retreat that they never were previously and i think an industry that's also finally going to turn to that as the golf industry the golf industry historically was you know your belly to the bar type of the collar the montgomery look and now after tiger woods all of them jordan spaeth and all the rest they're fit they're healthy they're lean so every traveler to

a certain degree has that aspect of desire not every the majority and that's a trend that did not exist ten twenty thirty years ago super insightful hillary ford which of straw marks a year old present thank you so much what a pleasure to have your oprah comeback thank you. with the stock market reaching new horrors every few days our team is trinity charges puts the numbers in perspective she joins us from the heart of the global financial center manhattan right there near wall street trinity twenty eighteen is off to an amazing start for wall street we've seen the market close at record highs almost every day even surpassing the twenty five thousand mark. what it means is every time you see that number go up on wall street it means jobs mean success it means for one case that a flourish the most impressive milestone yet for the dow jones industrial average twenty five thousand which really shows the explosive growth in stocks over the

past year dow's highest closing record hit twenty five thousand five hundred seventy four point seventy three on january eleventh marking a milestone among the year's highest closing records since president trump has taken office we have seen more than ninety two stock market record highs and president trump certainly argues that this is all about the make america great again agenda we did in fact break twenty five thousand very substantially break in very easily. so i guess our new numbers there he says that the president tweeting out on january fifth quote dow goes from eighteen thousand five hundred eighty nine on november ninth two thousand and sixteen to twenty five thousand seventy five today for a new all time record jump one thousand points in the last five weeks records fast as one thousand point move in history this is all about the make america great again agenda jobs jobs jobs six trillion dollars in value created we're seeing a trend that white house is putting out to people like. american the blue chips for

the first time ever hit twenty thousand on january sixth two thousand and seventeen and the market for the most part has been steadily climbing ever since and two thousand and seventeen for the first time ever the dow reached for one thousand point milestones in one year in march the dow hit twenty one thousand an early august twenty two thousand and. tobar twenty three thousand and just thirty trading days after that mark the dow closed at twenty four thousand the dow had seventy one record highs for the year the nasdaq had seventy two and the s. and p. five hundred had seventy three the dow was up more than twenty three percent last year compared to two thousand and sixteen this year's rising stock prices have largely been credited to a global economic recovery and growing optimism that the republican tax bill cut will provide a boost for u.s. growth and help american companies make more money and wall street is betting that companies will use that spare cash to buy back stock and beef up their dividends oh markets are also increasing and we were also getting investors from foreign markets

and an american company so this is all really positive for the dollar meanwhile german and british stocks aren't far from breaking record highs of their own this week the european market closed higher than usual five days in a row marking a new two and a half year high and closing above four hundred for the first time since mid two thousand and fifteen meanwhile nikkei in japan is trading at its highest level since one thousand nine hundred ninety one according to market watch now although the dow has surpassed the twenty five thousand mark and hopes are high for strong earnings for companies across the board many are still wondering exactly how long it will take to get the dow jones to thirty thousand in the financial district four boom bust turn of each others are to. really great data points the dow has risen and there's that. other four percent so far this year time now for a quick break but hang with us because when we return we'll see why canada is taking the united states to the core of the world trade organization and ask alex

mahela bitch if it means more that it seems now as we go to break here are those numbers at the closing bell to close out the. in two thousand and sixteen. the world with the tax haven secrets two trillion united states dollars passed through most. in the amount of time that we've been in panama papers exposure that's what it shows off money it really is.
