directors do some more digging and what they reveal brings us to act two some of the precious metal in colossus coffers could be blood gold shuffling through papers auditor's discovered the refinery was more than happy to shake hands with small mining operations in sudan and the democratic republic of congo apparently colossi ask for no licenses offering cash in hand in exchange for gold proceeds from search sales and conflict torn countries are known to directly fuel gang wars which are responsible for hundreds of civilian deaths soldiers naam group leaders see in control of the gold mines is a way to money guns and power for forty two of the ruthlessly often targeting civilians in the process so ernst and young employees calm through colossus cash transactions that's when we get to act three apparently the company deals in cash almost as much as in conventional bank transfers that's billions of dollars going into a legal black hole impossible to trace so the auditor's diligently record every failure

of the dubai giant but there's no pads on the back for them from the boss we requested a meeting with the babies to get it or when they realized that we're not going to alter our findings or change them they went ahead and. changed it on good lines in such a way that our findings and all for their conclusions will not be made public ernst and young have denied allegations they were in cahoots with a group the dubai refinery is still in business saying there's been no material impact on their ability to operate or trade i'm just rehired the man who led the team and expose the alleged wrongdoings says the audit in giant branded him a troublemaker and sacked him so is blowing the whistle a noble thing or just a falls there and in this saga it's left up to the court. of r.t. . now the luxury swiss resort of davos is opening its doors at the moment to the

annual world economic forum but going through the guest list you might think that this year is more about politics than the economy because a record number of g seven leaders are expected to attend and that includes the us president shocking video reports many were shocked from the start that mr america first would even consider attending a summit whose tagline is creating a shared future in a fractured world but of course according to most reports don't trump has no plans of catering to the globalist atmosphere that the former both and one third once again use the chance to push forward his own brand of economic nationalism donald trump would be the first president since bill clinton back in two thousand to attend the conference but it's unclear how warm of a welcome he should be expecting protests have already been seen in switzerland and more expected throughout the week as his visit looms near and in addition to that an online petition has garnered almost seven hundred thousand signatures asking the president to just stay home. the record number of world leaders is not the only

difference at this year's forum the issues being discussed will move away from economics and touch on race privilege and also religious issues author and editor gerri willis lindsey thinks that those participating at davos are focused on urgent economic needs davos big to the zero point one percent of the people they have very little concern about or what the rest of the people are getting it's one big club and it's a deal making club again all those other little things about you know gay rights equal pay oh that's just a lot of nonsense and it's for the media to write about when they don't want to write about the hard facts of how the so few own so much of how so many own so little. and with all those v.i.p.'s descending on davos this january so too is something tourists usually hopeful when heading to switzerland the snow and plenty

of it too because in just a couple of days around two meters of snow for the whole resort and it's left the community with a bit of a struggle on its hands local authorities are concerned about the possibility of avalanches saying that they may even attempt to artificially trigger an avalanche to downgrade. to the u.s. now where the three day government shutdown has finally come to an end after the president signed a bill however the mainstream media are still focusing on the failures of donald trump most reports to ignore the shutdown was actually two weeks shorter than the one suffered under the previous administration but it should have been a day of celebration for president from one year in office the one year anniversary of his presidency but the party he planned at mar a lago is no more at the moment because you're waking up to a government that is shut down this is hard stuff for him this is first anniversary

tomorrow he's got a big party and then he's going out to show the world what a great job he's doing as president seventy years of domestic crisis if he was such a great deal maker the government wouldn't be close to it even when the government shuts down trump handles it beautifully within three days last time the government shutdown it took obama sixteen days and this just got passed trump ended the government shutdown in just three days when the government shut down under obama but lasted one two weeks well after three days it looks like a bill has now been signed into law that will keep the u.s. government once again up and running donald trump has gone ahead and signed the bill that will bring the u.s. federal government into motion once again for at least two weeks as negotiations continue regarding the dhaka immigration debate in the lead up to the voting we heard. in both the house and the u.s. senate we heard democrats and republicans blaming each other for the shutdown now

while we also want to further illustrate exactly what it means that the us federal government is being shut down and reporting that they are still ahead britain's military chief has highlighted the country's biggest threats we'll tell you who you after the break. with manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the crime. nor middle of the room sick.

woman was still you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle for. the new socks for the tell you that every gossip the tabloids but. i'm telling you. by product. of the hawks that we all love walking. again russia has been described as the biggest state based threat to the u.k. since the cold war chief of the general staff nick carter one small funding to you to bridge the gap between british and russian capabilities with the details his. the arch exponent of this is russia i believe it represents the most complex and

capable. military chiefs are asking for more money for a new equipment is pretty standard practice but only as retired generals this time around you had the acting head of the on me nick carter risking annoying his pain monsters really by saying that he needs more money for the military but the purpose of the speech was just that he was warning of the dangers of underinvestment in the u.k.'s defense forces and he spoke of the dangers of failing to keep up with the level of russia's military spending and also with what he called russia's an

orthodox and hybrid warfare and one thing that was certainly unorthodox in his speech was this ordeal clip take a listen no indication of the scale of the station it's clear from a three minute video clip i'm not going to show you this was run on russian t.v. a couple of years ago you don't need to understand the russian just sit through the sense of the tone of the commentary good uses the mood music going to the label used to just get you the goods that you use live you can use to them it was playing on stereotypes of what sort of russian sounds like the russian language and his perception that russia may be aggressive and hell bent on world domination nick carter was in the first person to talk about the threat coming from russia to resume a spoke about the same thing in a big foreign policy. peach late last year is also worth pointing out that when they're not asking for more money you cave military chiefs are somewhat more

bloggers they about the whole russia thing it's a very different tone last summer then defense secretary michael fallon he joked that russia is probably yellow about which a new state of the art aircraft carrier because russia's is so dated and you've also got boris johnson the u.k.'s foreign secretary meeting with his u.s. counterpart here in the u.k. rex tillerson talking about iran north korea and syria they haven't mentioned russia being on the agenda. security analysts say there is some truth to what the general said but there is something of course to what the general actually says and that is that first of all. the british state of the british military in terms of the number of its personnel the number the amount of its equipment according to the quitman is a pitcher for the low level and so therefore you have to have some sympathy perhaps

for this man to forgive me if i'm wrong but it's about money it's not just russia of course we're talking about north korea or iran or the other bogeyman that are used for this notwithstanding that i mean it's very interesting that we hear that the russian threat today is actually not thousands of miles away but on the doorstep of europe actually the reason for that is because russia has moved its because now it's of course has moved much much closer over the last twenty years towards the borders of russia so it's a slightly ironic thing to say i think. now it does turn for the north korean pop star who was thought to have been executed is now going to lead to the country's delegation at the upcoming winter olympics and it's not the first time either there has been confusion over the well being of high profile figures from that part of the world.

it's easy if.

you're watching out international thanks for the company this morning don't forget we've got plenty more stories for you to come. work that caught my eye here year ago better because like nine hundred right there said this was their year twenty seven say they go to all kinds of crazy eyes and yeah it sure does our experiencing a bit of a fall back. of the fight for many clubs over the years so i know the guy came in so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the power. ssion from the fans it's the age of the superman each a billionaire owners and spending two hundred twenty million on one player. it's an experience like nothing else i want to because i want to share what i think of what

i know about the beautiful guy a great so well more transfer. and makes this minute. when lawmakers manufacture consent to the public will. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final merry go round listen to the one percent. in the middle of the room say. the real need for. all to see we have a great team but we need to strengthen before the freefall world cold and you're

better than 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 waving spirit to the r.c.c. . 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 come from that steroids or three. thousand the joke i was only kidding here i called russia. left left left more or less ok stuff that's really good. ratings in the salutations well thankfully after

a weekend of federal government shutdown we are still standing here in the united states of dysfunction at noon on monday the shutdown ended not with a great bang but with a whimper. a vote to once again kick the federal funding can down the road for another three weeks or so presumably so the democrats republicans can better hone their blame game skills and further perfect their abject irresponsibility towards their jobs and u.s. citizens senate minority leader chuck schumer announced monday that after several discussions offers and counteroffers the republican leader and i have come to an arrangement we will vote today to reopen the government to continue negotiating a global agreement. sorry charles but you can't put enough polish on this latest congressional debacle because it is and will always be

a permanent staying on the linoleum countertop that is us politics sadly my friends the stains are many and frankly guests are really starting to take notice and stage right the twenty eight thousand idle men trust barometer published just in time for the world economic forum's meeting in davos switzerland by the idle and global communications marketing for i don't men's annual trust barometer in case you haven't guessed by now measures the public's trust in various institutions and governments and according to their latest then you will port report trust in the us has suffered the largest ever recorded drop in these surveys history among the general population and even more outstanding is the trust among the informed public in the us imploded plunging twenty three points making it now the lowest of the twenty eight countries surveyed. so let us thank our

illustrious democrats and republicans trying our faith in a working government and forcing us all to start watching the whole. thing. it looks like. with. the bottom. like you that i got. this. week so. welcome everybody to watching the harks i am. and i am however the while i'm in the shutdown yes the shutdown has finally ended we've got to it was

a loose epic we didn't know if the sky was going to follow what things were going to explode if seven eleven wouldn't be open or what other horrible catastrophe would befall on us the middle of nowhere opened because unlike the government when you work at seven eleven you don't get to just shut the story down because you don't like. the price of thing i like that i like a little crazy tabloid they put another stop gap which i think is their fifty five keeping track for coming up with this but they put another stop gap in basically just to keep the government funded they just do their job why is that some simple call i know this stuck out and some february i believe eighth and you know after the latest circus you know fighting and chip and like all these things are fighting over is there any hope for the united states congress to actually get their act together do you have hope to have with the congress will one day act like congress and do things not with this congress. no third. and you should know this should all

just be like liquid surprise from the moving boxes and stuff and just little by guides to moving they should just start moving and getting their offices backed up because they're not going to make it through their next election cycle whoever they're there is that they're not doing any work and i'm not the only person who thinks that the this is a matter of trust can you do the job will you have results well we're seeing no results and this isn't just for one year this is for four years eight years twelve years sixteen years this isn't new and that's what the item and survey actually said according to the report you have no country saw steep declines in the united states you had a thirty seven aggregate point aggregate drop in trust along across all american institutions and at the opposite end of the spectrum you have china that experienced a twenty seven point gain more than any other country so here is this you know the big scary communist china that's going to take over the whole world they literally have more trust their people have more trust that's incredible that's

a great if when it's an interesting group or here's a democracy it doesn't it shouldn't be that hard to earn the trust of people if you believe in what you're saying then the people will believe in it but that's the problem our politicians don't believe what they say they just i don't think so i mean chuckle schumer i think you know people can say oh he's such a smart strategist and he's brilliant at what he does and then to me his strategy is just kind of fairly or after failure after failure at least actually doing the good of the people the same of the republican side because all the rest i mean it's out of point i'm sorry everybody hates congress because congress doesn't do their job well the c.e.o. of the gettleman richard the c.e.o. who produced the study actually. he called this lack of trust in the government the ultimate irony because when you think about it all we've heard about is how unemployment is down and the stock market is so great. and this is where you see that huge chasm between the alleviates and the rest of the country this is why you

have the election we had because they don't realize that nobody who is the one percent cares about the stock market because it doesn't change what our what our paychecks look like it doesn't change how much you know your mom or your grandma or whoever has to buy milk it doesn't change that you have to pay your rent you're not going to magically just because all the stock market's doing great you have it doesn't affect most people don't have their money in the stock market tragically you know what i'm sure about i don't doubt it but you know it and it's like you know look you've got people like start we're going crazy more people are excited more about bitcoin sure they are about to start morgan at the end of the day there's a very it's this disconnect here so what is it with the big way the reason that people like it is that politicians can have their hands on it going to hell with it at some point you have to just say trust in the media is going to trust and trust in our institutions and isn't trust in the institutions as they stand it's the people who are running i could and that's why certain systems don't work because you've had person after person after all it's just we've we've had our money is

stolen we've been spied upon we've you know wall street bailed out there you know we have whistleblowers being thrown in jail there is no public trust in government because government has not earned our trust you know and that's what they are missing they just assume hey i get the job people automatically trust me no you get the job then you actually have to do the work of the people not the lobbyists of the people pulling your strings. for decades teenagers have climbed water towers car surf tried to drink a gallon of milk eight ghost peppers and generally did incredibly stupid things to gain acceptance or amusement of their peers the tired pod challenge is the latest teen stunt to terrify adults and the media these alondra pods of small packets made out of dissolvable jelly containing concentrated laundry detergent are meant. for convenience but their colorful appearance has allegedly caused an epidemic of children and teens eating the laundry pods and dying or has it according to the

current headlines there's no doubt that something must be done to end the scourge teens even longer pause for fun your children mistaking them for candy senator chuck we must investigate snorkeled chocolate schumer has been on the laundry pod case since two thousand and twelve when he made this claim and an official press conference saying quote these pods were supposed to make low household chores easier not tempt our children to swallow harmful chemicals i saw one on my staffers desk and i wanted to eat it. and it says twenty twelve procter and gamble the company behind tied pas has added a bitter tasting but non toxic coating to the outside for the pods to deter children for biting into that they've added additional lots of the containers and are educating the public on how to keep them out of the hands of toddlers but according to the american association of poison control centers in twenty seventeen more calls came in regarding hand sanitizer toothpaste deodorant mouthwash more

than the laundry pozen fact the calls which were mostly regarding children under five and over half of which aren't even related to an actual ingestion has gone down fourteen percent since twenty fifteen. so. is asking. that corporations and the government become our defacto nanny is really the best use of our fragile democracy. well now we know why the government is in disarray because good old chuckles schumer apparently has been more interested in whether people eat laundry pods and time later books are sortable chocolate really is this is this how far we've fallen that it's congress's job to think about these things i was sorry when i was growing up you know we had iron metal playgrounds we had things that actually hurt us and you know the classic george carlin routine of little johnny swallows the marble then the other little kids realize if we shouldn't swallow marbles you know i mean that's kind of what i got to lose

darwinism childrearing at it's right we have mr yes kids too there's this idea i mean you think there should be something you can't just say like oh who cares you know of course i mean there's a recently sort of safety measures but is it really is this a huge problem that we need to have story after story and all of these politicians talking about bills to protect the children what because their parents don't want to parent right i mean i'm sorry if teenagers on you tube want to eat stupid things for clicks and then they get hurt and go to the emergency room will everybody watches that and says hey i don't want to eat that because it are going to go to the emergency care you know now it's sort of strange. that well there was that there was a study actually in the journal pediatrics and ages one to three accounted for seventy two percent of cleaning products to little babies poisoning so there's more time on these cleaning household products forty percent of those poisonings came

from cleaners in spray bottles so tie let me ask why are we regulating spray bottles that's a good question you shouldn't say that too loud this close to capitol hill we might start seeing them suddenly be like oh my gosh spray bottles we have to go regulate that you know i mean of course you put you know you put labels on it. no there but i think it's just because it's like you know hey this is a new fangled fancy thing that you know these type of things have come out like these positive a little recently so it was i mean that's a funny when people say like they've never been around but this washer have made this for a long time and you know back in our day we had a deep and tired read out of the box where he's going to have our there was what i want to bother you know what's really fascinating i was according to the consumer product safety commission there have been a total of five deaths of the u.s. related the to the ingestion of one hundred five out of three hundred million people and most of those because we're suffering from dementia there are even kids that this kind of smells like that you know with the out the the candy bar with the

with the razor blade in a later that's never ever happened that only people poisoned by hollowing can you work within the same family. yes as you can drugs which by the way were a government shutdown so if you wanted to rags running get them now and bring them back grab some for me too because there's no one there to stop us it's crazy oh i'm well it's interesting because i think it's so funny that there is this idea that we have to it's always like keeping teenagers from smoking big teenagers from drinking keeping them from doing drugs keeping them from having sex will just tell them not to do it and tell them everything is dangerous and it seems that chuck schumer is so shocked that kids you know he has to do crazy things there's actually a study cornell college of human ecology had studied this back in the early twentieth or twenty two thousand this idea of why do kids do this so what she said is teens often decide that the benefits of risky behavior immediate gratification for gratification or peer acceptance outweighs the risks and we need to we needed

studies multiple studies to explain the guys on capitol hill. teens do stupid stuff for attention and if you tell them they're not supposed to they're just good and even though it is they're going to make more so you keep bringing it up to me it's just teams are going to be teens and you know johnny olds going to swallow the marbles are all going to be sad but shouldn't be swallowing the marble anyway as we go to break card watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics are covered up facebook and twitter see our poll shows that are dot com coming up former cia analyst ray mcgovern and walks us to discuss the n.s.a. and the f.b.i. suddenly on sunday the butter fingers of both agencies are now being accused of accidentally on purpose deleting controversial important data stay to watch.

what politicians do sometimes even. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to be rich. if you'd like to be press it's like the full story in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the winds in the. city. that's right the sand had here some of. our own home from what i saw. that i don't run charlotte and i rather doubt that i thought that a kid that.
