but their wish list is relatively modest at least for now the main cause official status for the corsican language control over the local budget and no more holiday homes for outsiders clogging up this paradise known as the island of d.c. of course can leaders warn parents should heed these schools some people are now telling if winning elections does not even get to civil talks would be gave you a mandate for means democracy is a dead end to go from that to saying homes in the affected them votes is something i don't agree with but which in some point could be validated by number of people. giving in could prove difficult for highly centralized friends previous administrations have met corsica's demands with their attention and even refused to negotiate on his he may be different to specific promises approving allusive so far . we can see the possible changes but these will come elsewhere within the

framework of the constitution this republican framework does not allow us to say yes to certain demands such as on residency rights or recognizing corsican deficient language alongside french. plans later to give us a speech on his vision of the mediterranean island iran r.t. we're bringing more of his visit throughout the day. russia is mourning the death of major romana philip off whose plane was shot down by islamic militants in northern syria on saturday the pilot of void of capture by taking his own life blowing up a hand grenade when he was surrounded by enemy forces on the ground. the.

people for a man felipe of was fighting terrorism and died is a heresy and i came here today to honor him he gave his life so that we can live in peace. with him from in high school he dreamt of becoming a pilot and the evans green twenty were discussing career choices during class he said without hesitation i want to fly after he entered the military academy he once came back to the high school during his winter break when his military uniform you know him behind others when anyone needed his help he was always there but you never do that to show he was a great guy. human rights watch has published a new report lifting the lid on how drugs are misused in some u.s.

nursing homes or relatives of those who have suffered mistreatment so strong anti psychotic drugs are used to control residents with dementia the rights group collected some of their testimonies my name is charlene wagner my husband is out one way. for you so sleepy day. one nursing home he was. totally dry and two you couldn't even talk to anti-psychotic drugs are f.d.a. approved for the treatment of psychosis and they're used in nursing homes to treat psychosis but to keep people with dementia quiet and manageable until the one nine hundred ninety s. is. very common for nursing homes to use physical restraints physical restraints are banned but physical restraints are banned but now many nursing facilities are using chemical restraints instead my mother's name is lois been cooler she's seventy five years old she went into

a nursing home when she was seventy two and she had to mention. where we went to see her she wouldn't talk she wouldn't laugh she wouldn't cry she wouldn't do anything she would just sit and stare like she wasn't even there if you have dementia and somebody in a nursing facility doesn't understand what your needs are you could be given an anti-psychotic drug and you end your life not being yourself not being understood and there's no reason that this should happen according to the report almost one hundred eighty thousand people mostly with dementia are given anti psychotic drugs each week drugs are often administered without the consent of residents all their relatives and we spoke to one of the research was behind this report. people with dementia who live in nursing homes often have behaviors that are considered difficult for staff. and so rather than investigate what the cause of that

behavior is often their staff are very quick to start prescribing these kinds of medications which have a strong sedative effect and so that means that many of these residents end up being drowsy on able to communicate and so that it basically facilitates life for four nursing home staff the problem here is that really the medications are being used not to treat a medical condition but to control the behavior of residents who are considered difficult to control nursing home staff are basically drugging people into a state where they are constantly sedated that is not appropriate care it's use of practice and it needs to stop patricia mcginnis from the california advocates for nursing home reform told us that the use of anti psychotic drugs poses a real threat to the lives of people with dementia. at least one hundred seventy

nine thousand people every week who are treated here and who have dementia who are treated with anti-psychotic drugs. it's easier to drug somebody up it's less expensive than having adequate staff we have very weakened fauresmith system in this country certainly in california this week so one of the ways to control people and control behavior people who have dementia is to give them and i psychotic drugs even the f.d.a. has noted that your when you give somebody with dementia anti-psychotic drugs you have a two times higher chance of death it can cause people to like you said before to become zombies have and i psychotic drugs can cause death and i psychotic drugs can cause heart palpitations and heart issues with people we really have to look at what is informed consent and make it national make it at a federal level that this is informed consent and unless and until you have that

from every single person every single resident or their representative you simply cannot provide give anybody want to be as kinds of drugs this is all the international still to come on the program farmers are resorting to facial recognition software to help the idea they're on a ml's we'll explain why after the break. the u.s. is losing into a summer on the climate denying is precluding them from the dissipating in this new economy number one and number two the effects of the climate change and why the catastrophes the global you know migrants that are the result of it all this other problems are hurting the u.s. economy on the other side of the trade so you've got to double up by.

what. he put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. i want to listen. to going to be press to see what will before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of our. question. thanks for joining us here on out say the u.s. vice president will head to the winter olympics in china but not apparently to enjoy the sports. quite frankly we're traveling to the olympics to make sure that north korea doesn't use the powerful symbolism in the backdrop. of the

winter olympics will be telling the truth about north korea at every stop will be sure that whatever. the whatever color cooperation that's existing between north and south korea today on the olympic team does not cloud the reality. hence also plans to take the father of a student who died after being jailed in north korea for attempting to steal a propaganda poster from a hotel in pyongyang the idea is reportedly to remind the world of the atrocities that happened in north korea hence will also visit a memorial for south korean sailors killed in twenty ten after the sinking of a warship which seoul says was a north korean torpedo attack now i may january the two koreas help if first direct talks since twenty fifteen soon afterwards it was announced north korea would attend the olympic games the two countries agreed to march together on the one flag at the opening ceremony for the first time in twelve years and the north and south

poles also decided to send a joint women's ice hockey team and in the latest development the leader of north korea's parliament kim yong now will be attending the opening ceremony we spoke with dr simone chong from the korea peace network who believes the games are a valuable opportunity to come tensions. trump actually supported. our participation you know and but he seems to me that there is to the reason we didn't do a demonstration and this is the. only games for players who want seventy percent for him think that cory and i you know during the olympic winter olympic benefit not only korean peninsula but also the entire world this is really truly story time took four years trying to. go on and you know piece of things that then wore out faster and this is this is typically treats just to strategic trying to halt. one one green. movement so i really hope by this president doesn't really want is

so awesome opportunity and the spirit of. formula one is not just about speed and champagne celebrations on the podium for us drivers and the fans after decades of entertaining the track and pit lanes the iconic grid girls will no longer be part of motor racing surprise event. james is a proven winner the same question for you. formula one's commercial director announced the decision saying the grid girls no longer fit with modern social norms he added that it now seems irrelevant and inappropriate for motor racing fans across the world meanwhile the grid girls themselves so they're offended after years of service to the sport believing there's nothing offensive about their job they say their role is to promote the formula one brand and that it shouldn't be restricted by issues of

a political correctness. i saw my outfit before i agreed to do it i knew i was wearing i knew what was expected of me if you look at any kind of advertisement or branding these days you know you have beautiful glamorous hostesses working for the best talent in the world you have victoria's secret models who represent the brand so while they model fall and so i don't think you can say that having great go and glamorous promotional models is in keeping with the times i mean isn't shouldn't be a dirty was obviously it could boil down to that sadly i just feel it's a bit of a backward step because if we want to say to women you know we want to feel empowered and we can do and be whatever we want to be i don't see a problem with promotional work tools we'll do it by choice and we're not forced into the was and or go supply for the job and all the guys i know absolutely love the job so i don't see that there's any soul problem with that school

a lot of people do come to the shows over to meet some of the girls as well to get pictures with because that's a parolee and some of my friends who work in the professional work they've met their future husband i don't know why they haven't said anything for it if it's because too many people would objectify and they probably didn't think that this much would happen so i'm not sure why they didn't consult with us. life can be tough for the international space station cooped up for months isolated from the rest of the world the coachman also an astronaut is currently up that has found a new way to try and entertain themselves they have taken up i've maintained he was able to film the game in three hundred sixty degrees you can see playing badminton in zero gravity has its challenges for example playing upside down you can watch of all three hundred sixty degree videos from space on a website so you don't come. facial recognition technology has impressed smartphone users the world over but farmers

keeping up with the times have also found a use for it. but the real question is whether the cow's face id will be able to differentiate between twin cows or correctly identify a cow wearing a silly hat now those rogue terrorist cows will have a harder time sneaking through t.s.a. security disguised as peaceful crowds.

about your sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last wrong turn. your attitude up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry 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 feelings started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you 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 my mind it's consumed with death this one quite different person i speak to now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker.

i'm bart chilton. markets continue their curious correction with the dow dropping dramatically over eleven hundred points and that's yet again after friday's six hundred sixty point sell off and today will focus on energy with the assistance of ashley banks energy an oil trader david greenberg and solar c.e.o. nick campanella plus tyson slocum the director of public citizens energy program joins us were packed tighter that is justin timberlake march fifth so let's get to it first with some headlines the federal government is headed for yet another shutdown on friday at twelve o one am with no sign of compromise on the issue of the doctor dreamers or on immigration or anything else there is talk on the hill of yet another short term c.r. a continuing resolution to keep the government open and with regard to the dreamers unless congress takes some action roughly seven hundred eighty thousand dreamers face deportation on march fifth and a related news the government's debt limit will be reached in early march as

opposed to late march or early april as previously anticipated the debt limit is the amount of money that the government can borrow as opposed to the budget deficit the debt limit will need to be raised beyond the current twenty point five trillion dollars level the debt limit does not restrict what congress can spend it simply allows the treasury department to pay bills already owed which is why it's such a huge deal if it was ever raised. the reason for the earlier expected need to raise the debt limit is due to the one point five trillion dollar tax cuts that will begin costing the government ten to fifteen billion dollars each month due to reduced tax revenues to. chinese e-commerce firm j.d. dot com maybe the biggest company you've never heard of if you're watching in the u.s. in europe that's particularly true the company's founder and c.e.o. has big plans to change that in an interview with the financial times c.e.o.

richard lui discussed plans to expand in europe first in france then the u.k. and germany and then the u.s. all this year and yes they can and will compete directly with amazon the world's largest retailer lew says j.d. dot com will spend one billion dollars over the next two years to build up their logistics network in france and the company aims to generate more than half its profits outside china within ten years one major challenge for j.d. dot com will be to match the speed of their logistics network in china which the company owns a big difference from amazon. and royal dutch shell and conoco phillips have both reported strong fourth quarter earnings stronger than in the last several years in fact as crude oil prices jumped at the end of last year shells q four profits more than doubled to three point eight billion dollars from one point five billion in the same quarter a year earlier even with that shell said their cash flow has dropped due primarily

to a two billion dollars charge related to the cut in u.s. corporate tax rates approved by congress and the president at the end of last year for conoco phillips profits jumped in q four to one point five eight billion dollars compared with thirty five million dollar loss during the same period last year conoco phillips was a beneficiary of the new tax law adding an extra nine hundred million dollars to their balance sheets to. the u.s. is the second biggest consumer of energy per capita in the world coming in second right after china the world's most populated country the us holds the world's largest coal reserves in the second biggest oil reserves accounting for twenty percent of the world's total oil consumption here's our g. correspondent ashley banks to break it all down for us actually that's right guard according to hydrocarbons technology oil and natural gas accounted for over sixty percent of the united states total energy consumption which means the u.s. accounts for nearly twenty percent of the world's total oil consumption making the

us the biggest oil consuming country and the world's second biggest natural gas and coal consumer let's compare that to china which accounts for twenty two percent of the world's total energy consumption at over sixty five percent of the country's total energy consumption was due to how much the country consumes coal that makes china the world's biggest coal consumer producer and porter china is also the second largest oil consumer and one of the top five natural gas consumers in the world let's take a look at franciscan. sumption france is one of the biggest energy consumers in europe it accounts for about two percent of the world's total energy consumption nuclear energy accounted for thirty nine percent of the country's total energy consumption oil comprised of thirty two percent and natural gas comprised of fifteen percent of the primary energy consumed by france let's compare that to south korea or south korea account for about two point one percent of the world's

total energy consumption and about forty percent of the country's total primary energy consumption comes from oil the country is also one of the top five all importers and the six biggest oil refining country and the world the country imports over eighty percent of its crude oil from the middle east saying in the same area let's take a look at north korea while south korea and china shining brightly and night here's a picture of north korea the entire country looks like it's asleep now this photo was taken by a nasa satellite it shows a lack of electricity produced and north korea up north korea supply of electricity is too small to shine through the night on circle back to the u.s. here's a satellite image of south that taxes unlike north korea south texas is shining bright but part of what we see here are bright lights from the wells and fracking equipment and eagle ford competing with whites from nearby austin san antonio and

corpus christi while research shows fracking has fueled a dramatic boom in america's oil production and has also made the u.s. the biggest oil consuming country in the world bart. actually thank you so much those images are amazing particularly the ones where they have the fracking which is as large and as bright as corpus christi thank you for that great report appreciate it. and energy markets impact us all in a very fundamental way and here to discuss energy markets and more is energy trader david greenberger the founder of green founder of greenberg capital and former member of the new york mercantile exchange board nymex word the global oil is traded david thank you so much for being here with us before we get to oil i want to ask you about your take on stocks i know you've been in a car but the dow down eleven seventy eight you have

a view on that it was really it was wild it reminded me of the silver crash years ago when i said to my father that you know it's selloff happened there in launch and he said it happened in a buy the a sandwich i mean it literally it was down five hundred forty points when i got in the elevator on the ninth floor and was that about fifteen hundred points by the time i hit the first floor while that wild markets but it goes back to as you know i've been you know talking a lot of dollars trying to train you know over the years and the pros and the cons and this is one con of electronic trading is that when the bottom falls out there's nothing to stop it because there's a lack of liquidity on the depth level and that's something that we should talk about at some point yeah and there really seems to be a herd mentality i mean people knew there was a correction come coming and they talked about five maybe ten percent but we didn't anticipate it that we're going to get it all and on friday and today and who knows what's in store took tomorrow but i'm glad the markets are closed back to energy

david oil dropped a little bit today but you know overall they've been higher markets have been higher than they have for a couple of years what do you make of what's going on you think they're going to stay there. well it's the energy markets real interesting i mean if you look at it as a a long term play ok let's look at crude oil first back in zero eight we were at one hundred forty ok now that we're trading around the sixty three sixty three mark so the range over the last ten years in twelve years has been very broad and some people tend to only look at the at the minor range i've been talking for years i think the level you know the proper level for crude is anywhere between sixty five and seventy five or trying to finally feel that you know that space right now but a lot of things are happening to get us there we have opec that's behaving so they're kind of sticking together we've got demand that is somewhat went up which is good but the key thing is that we have speculators that are in the market now at

a much higher level on a much broader level and they slowly specially with the electronic training you know market can slowly bring the market up ok the real question is going to be is as we saw in the stock market today and then the bitcoin market all these other markets when speculators are in the market and there's a trading mentality i call it in my class the light switch theory everybody's a buyer guess what until they're not so let's talk about what might happen when that switch gets turned and it goes from buyers the sellers you could see a nice ten percent correction in this market as well it's not totally. on supply and demand there's so many other factors but right now it's holding nicely but david you've seen these markets over the years and you say you have a longer term term view and and we do see opec and other nations russia namely that have their production one point eight one point eight billion barrels per day they're holding off the market but the u.s. seems to be making up for that so you do use see the increased u.s.

production keeping sort of a governor on prices. absolutely i mean the united states has been i mean let's be realistic they've been knocking the cover off the ball i mean they're at the highest production rate that they've ever been you have regulations that are being pulled back like it or not it is what it is and that's going to enable more and more production to be made so i do believe that will be a major factor and keeping somewhat of a cap i don't see except for maybe a world event there an issue in the middle east i mean a major issue a major spike in prices and david can you tell us briefly about some of the other contracts and what they call the energy complex nat gas for example how's nat gas doing lately oh sure let's look at that gas that gas has come off a lot in the past couple days and we're at the two unchanged level but again in two thousand and six we were at fourteen dollars b.t.u. and then in two thousand and fourteen we were at six dollars b.t.u.

so inherently it's still very low as well as we're getting that we're getting to the ground cheaper it's becoming you know we're doing more efficient products all around and again so i think that that's also a market that is tradeable but i don't see a big spike in that coming in any way shape or form last question we got about thirty seconds david do you think that lech tronic traders call them speculators but to each his own right you think they've been a good thing or do you harken back to those four trading days when things might have been better. well for me if you were who is better on the floor it was a great rush it was a wonderful place to be but i know this is a lot of conversation for another show but i think today really shows the problem when electronic markets come in and the algos kick in there is no way the average person on the trade or ameritrade that's putting their orders and can hit that button and make a decision fast enough to.
