in the u.k. and it's finding its first support across the channel french m.p.'s belonging to emanuel micron's on march movement not only backed the idea but have reportedly been giving advice to the party's founders are to starla devinsky has the details this is really a brand new political party that's a boat to launch in the k. its goals are quite ambitious pledging to transform british politics and reverse brigs it it wants a second referendum on it i think there's no chance of brakes it being reversed the brave people have spoken and that's an end of the matter they can bash their head against a brick wall although gas is a sore head while the party is launching in the u.k. it's getting advice from a course can all hear it from helping her and coming from a manual much calls party the republic of march with advisers said to be at

a recent meeting consulting about tactics and its north one your good friends was glad you came here like us and like many other countries looking for because it was you really just there i think the danger increasing you can look at the future musical and i think the movement of christian authors i believe with when you use the future you can embrace. burring the ideas of mark. which invited in every day people regardless of their experience in politics who knew also calls on everyone to join and those behind it hope it'll work for them to . we don't have much time the only way of winning is by the same miracle as michael the u.k. electoral commission says there is no issue with the british party receiving advice from a foreign political party provided it receives no funding from it so it's fair enough

but what the reaction be if the advice was coming from a russian party world would be a great outcry as there would be if politicians from any political or from any other country were trying to advise politicians or tell them what to do but i mean what we should all be doing of course is talking to politicians from other countries not to get advice from them not to be told what to do but simply to find out what's going on in those countries we all streaming for an interview to discuss the party but they said they were too busy however they made their feelings about our clear saying that ot would look to undermine it also accused the channel of being a propaganda tool answer jested that russia had interfered in the briggs's vote dividing the u.k. from europe despite a lack of concrete evidence. when you clearly doesn't have

a problem when it comes to seeking the advice of a foreign power such as france when it comes to reversing bragg's it a referendum in which the majority of voters or pleased to leave you so it seems that for a new meddling is ok it just depends on the country involved charlot even ski r.t. paris. a recent poll has found that most americans believe the media is biased it comes at a time when ever more former senior government employees are moving into t.v. punditry with the uproar surrounding the recent nooners memo giving them lots to talk about samir khan explores if there are grounds for presumption of bias. many people seeking expertise on the nunez memo must be switching through channels these days so is it a big deal or is it underwhelming was it right to release it well here's a familiar face to answer all of your questions the fact that the newness and republicans deny the ability of the minority the democratic members of that

committee to put out its report is just appalling he has abused the office of the chairmanship yes that was john brennan former cia director and now a member of the m s n b c family as a contributor brennan was a prominent figure in the intelligence community appointed by barack obama but that background doesn't necessarily mean he's biased right but bret is not the only intelligence official who's joined the ranks of mainstream media we also have josh campbell who resigned from the f.b.i. and joined c.n.n. as a law enforcement analyst he's yet to make his first appearance on the network but before he does here's an excerpt from his latest new york times op ed defending his former employee these political attacks on the bureau must stop those critics of agency persuade the public that the f.b.i. cannot be trusted they will also have succeeded in making our nation less safe it's not hard to guess what campbell will say on c.n.n. regarding the nunez memo which accuse the f.b.i. of bias and just

a little reminder he was also james komi special assistant the same komi who is accused of wrongdoing in the memo but of course campbell and brennan are the first to make the switch there is an absolute leftist bias in the country most of the networks if you just add up for example the time that they speak negatively about the president is about ninety percent of the time and there are numerous studies that show this where for example president obama he would do things say things and there would be no media coverage of it whatsoever and case in point are the recent memos that we're all seeing come out of course the republican memo released the new memo great scrutiny over most of the american media. a little coverage when what should happen based on that memo for example would be that that molar is investigation should be expanded but that's not what the media has called for now it said that you can never teach an old dog new tricks so how can we expect these

x. government officials to magically shed their previous political associations. thank . you. thank. you. thank you. thank you. thank. you. are at least in the seventies president richard nixon was relentlessly mocked by the media for imitating a character from the film patton if that was life or should i think politics imitating art ironically what we have these days is the media imitating politics so

we are con r.t. washington d.c. two major german parties have reached an agreement to form a coalition the details are not after the short break. but politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express interest. some want to be rich.

but you'd like to be close to what the forty three of the people. i think are still all those in the lawyers. should. welcome back the war in yemen is more than a thousand days old and the humanitarian crisis in the country is only getting worse according to the u.n. almost forty seven thousand yemenis have been displaced since december meanwhile reports continue to build of children being killed or injured in saudi led airstrikes we spoke to some of those affected just a warning you may find some of the following images upsetting.

you know what do you. know you had ten times today didn't. get an issue didn't even a lot of us title and. they didn't you would at first sight of the one. they know will most of those with little money. but they want to. live again with me michel. but in the desert and i get to be a. ghetto. they should know this not and that is.

a simple i'm going to look. as a quick reminder of the saudi led coalition started its incursion in yemen back in two thousand and fifteen against who is the opposition fighters which had seized power in the country since then saudi arabia has been under pressure from the international community that finally prompted it to recently send aid to civilians but local painted on the tents reads saudi arabia kingdom of humanity author and writer abdel bari atwan believes it's hardly humane to wait three years into a bombing campaign before sending any help. that's how they actually asked the three of them bob and by all means that from the from sea from ground they did not actually put an end to this war and declare victory and now more than ten thousand people was killed most of them civilians and also. the

famine is imposed in yemen that as the situation and the top of that they are saying that we're kidding about the humanitarian side of this war we are helping the yemeni people believe that saudi is usually in better they is soft of this war three years ago and now the information and to manage the can see the but i think effect on the people and say in the biz i would be enough is enough. it's been a long five months but it looks like germany is finally getting itself a new government the country's two largest parties have put their differences aside to agree on a coalition the latest round of the talks started on tuesday and only wrapped up on wednesday morning after a full uninterrupted twenty four hours of negotiations merkel's chief of staff peter all my joked as he left the talks that all of them needed a shower so what should we now expect after the deal has been reached peter oliver

reports. what is this painful compromise well the social democrats they will hold on to the foreign ministry the labor ministry the justice family and environment ministries that they held in the previous government but they will gain the very powerful finance ministry now after a moment it's unknown which position martin schulz would favor whether he would want to be the foreign minister all whether he would want to head up that finance ministry whatever position martin schulz ultimately takes he may well regret giving this statement back in september. and. mr schultz do exclude the possibility of being a minister in the cabinet led by merkel or that c.d.u. c.s.u. . yes yes absolutely i would never be part of a government so what happens next well it all goes down to a vote by the s.p.d. membership that's four hundred sixty thousand people that will be casting

a vote by mail so are expecting a result from that ballot over the next few weeks trying to drum up support for the deal we saw the negotiating team sending a selfie out to a social democratic you know what's up chant saying they were tired but satisfied and encouraging their membership to get behind the vote it is going to be very tight though should the social democratic membership go vote yes well that means angela merkel will have to go ahead to form a new government and we could expect to see that in place by six months after the actual election in september if that is a no though from the social democrats then this whole deal well it all falls apart and all this negotiating has been for nothing and really the only option facing germany would be a brand new election. but if that new election was to take place it's not entirely certain the so-called grow or grand coalition can even happen again that's because

the latest polls suggest support for the s.p.d. has dropped to a record low of only eighteen percent and there is opposition to the coalition from within the s.p.d. itself around twenty five thousand new members have joined the party since the new year many of them reportedly with the intention to vote against the deal with merkel. now a male interrupting a woman to explain feminism may not be the best idea but that's exactly what can the buzz prime minister has just done justin trudeau told a young lady to correct her supposed gender biased language and is now being called sexist himself. and. i am a feminist being a feminist in the feminists and i will use it and yes it is repeating my. maternal love is the love that's going to change the future of mankind so we'd like

you to look at what we like to see people coming to not necessarily mankind. there's lots of things you can do to be a better feminist as a man but here's a simple one don't interrupt. by offering people kind. that's our program for now but i'll be back in about thirty minutes with more on today's top stories so do stay with us.

all to you we have a great see we need to strengthen before the free float and you're better than a legend to keep it so it's at the back. in one thousand nine hundred two the most qualified 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 aussie theme. recently i've had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the best since my last will call from the let's throw throw three. thousand zero zero zero zero you. know a left left left more or less ok that's really. two americas too intensely

charged in opposing news narratives to cable news networks reflect these divisions or rather function as triggers intensifying cultural divide also what has happened to journalism is it now a profession inhabited by hacks and the politically possessed in america a college degree requires a great deal. paying a decades long debt. studying so hard it requires strong. going through humiliation to enter an elite society. and parching to death sometimes quite literally. wants other true colors of universities in the us. when you don't know what. did equip it. to

what can you not through only ten tests. let alone. said. you know. that. if you speak french. that's similar to. the it's a new. this is sent to school so. i. this is boom bust broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. i'm part of you coming up we take

a look at the tumultuous market tumble with two experts and digital currencies are again in the headlines this time as the chairs of the securities and exchange commission and my old agency the commodity futures trading commission testified before congress plus wells fargo is still in the news as the u.s. federal reserve places rough restrictions on the banks we'll get into that with eric rohmer now let's check out some of the stories topping today's headlines. on friday the dow jones industrial average plummeted six hundred sixty six points abets not an ominous number then yesterday making friday seem like child's play we witnessed the largest point drop ever ever amongst the dow industrials a drop of over eleven hundred points for those in the u.s. watching and wondering in real time why the boom bust team was it sure seemed like panic selling as the market had dropped from five hundred points down to sixteen hundred points in seemingly no time at all it has been and may continue to be

a monumental market moment in history r.t. correspondent trinity charges has more from wall street mark there's a lot of frayed nerves here on wall street as the global stops leaves volatility and its way yesterday we had this thing gold biggest one day drop on the dow jones on friday the dow opened above twenty five thousand. already below twenty three thousand map that fell almost four percent on monday although on monday around the world japan's nikkei index the hang seng is that. close to five percent of total value the same high composite dropped on the green a half percent this year of the two hundred last three point two percent slide as more surprising and even more unsettling at the pump after the rally in the beginning of the year and after hit directly low volatility in the market reports from top. trump of ministration budget director mick mulvaney continues to drastically reshape the consumer financial protection bureau or c f p b last week

mr mulvaney strip c f p b s office of fair lending and equal opportunity which pursues discrimination cases of enforcement power is action was denounced by civil rights groups at the same time mr mo veiny c f p b is undoing an obama era regulation on payday loans and has dropped notable pending payday lender cases including that of one company world acceptance corp that had donated to mulvaney as political campaigns payday lenders previously donated an estimated sixty thousand congressional campaign dollars to low veiny between two thousand and eleven and two thousand and seventeen the motivating c.f. p b is also reportedly scaling back an investigation into the equifax data breach last month mr mo veiny was criticised for saying c f t v represents lenders when his agency is specifically chartered to protect consumers by law and by name.

the general manager of the bank for international settlements has some remarkably harsh words for crypto currencies general mattis manager gustin carsten addressing an audience in frankfurt germany earlier today referred to bitcoin and its peers as quote private digital tokens posing as currencies before saying that bitcoin. quote has become a combination of a bubble a ponzi scheme and an environmental disaster carstens also set up authorities to not act preemptively crypto currencies become could become a threat to financial stability carstens comments carry heavy weight due to his standing amongst the global financial business class his resume includes lending the leading the mexican finance ministry and central bank and a stent as deputy manager of the i.m.f. the international monetary fund bitcoin value dropped by fourteen percent falling below six thousand dollars after carstens comments but later rebounded and we'll have those exact numbers at the break.

but right now we continue to discuss digital currency is with jared andersen he's the director of simpler trading crypto jared's thanks for joining us the chairs of the securities and exchange commission and the commodity futures trading commission the c f.t.c. testified before the senate banking committee today take a little listen to their opening statements we the f.c.c. and the c f.t.c. do not have directory stiction over the popular markets that trade true crypto currencies this is not an oversight it is the result of a new product at market the c f t c has produced a large amount of consumer education materials on virtual currencies including written statements podcasts women ours and a dedicated bitcoin website we've even schedule visits to libraries and briefings

for seniors we've never conducted this much outreach for any other financial products so jared what's your take on that hearing i know you were watching intently today what are your thoughts. so i watched the whole thing and you know i i honestly think it was sort of just a bit of an ambiguous talk overall there was really a lot of back and forth but without really any definitive. statement on what they intend to do the one thing that stood out to me was regarding i see where you know many points people across the board you know brought that up and how much money was raised and the inability to track really where the money was raised from the one thing that came from me was. it kind of eliminates sort of the cloud overhead that you know i think the market was really waiting for for some clarity from this but really the only thing i heard was that they are pushing towards regulating i see

those and have kind of made the warning to anyone doing that to this point no one has registered with either agency to you know to push one of these out so in my mind i mean it kind of gives the green light for bulls to put you know potentially step back in i think we might have that clip and you're right that was that was our takeaway here whom bust also can we roll that clip on elizabeth warren and clayton so it is not new is it isn't new but it is not ok and it is not another way to raise money correct i am understanding you to say it is a violation of law yes. ok so so there's a question about these i see those but the elizabeth foreman jake lightner saying they are operating outside the law does do you think that means that the icy roads are going to continue to be done in the us jared only under increased regulatory scrutiny or are they going to move someplace else outside of the u.s. . so in my mind i think we'll see both i think you're going to see

a new wave of i.c.'s come out of the us that are going to the lengths to be compliant i just think that it really needs to happen to a certain extent i'm all for kind of the government keeping their hands off things but in my mind you know just talking to different people there have been a lot of people taking advantage of. you know with that said i also think that we'll see across the globe you'll find you know these safe havens for i.c.a.o. you know we see that kind of thing with tax evasion and other things like that and i have to imagine with i see we'll see something similar ok so separate from the i see those how about you know regulation in general in the digital space you said you know you don't prefer it but you know i sort of look at it in two ways one you've got to protect consumers i think or at least somebody does you may think that it or not government but we've seen so many times where we've had computer problems whether or not it was mt gox or the one coin check in japan just last week

where you know hundreds of millions of dollars are lost that that's not right so is there sort of a middle ground here gerri between overregulation that forte's innovation in this really innovative promising space in my view and protecting investors or should the government just keep their hands off. yes i mean it's really a great question and i think you know you kind of hit the nail on the head there too you know a bit where. i really think that you know it's on sort of the consumer in one way to look at is where if you know i'm investing in these things and so i take it upon myself to act as sort of the bank where i'm going to lengths to to store these things you know via cold storage or hardware wallet things like that you know where you mention mt gox being sort of the issue keeping on an exchange now where regulators i think need to come in and they just need to you know paint pretty clear lines how these companies can sort of operate where they're not at fear of

being held liable for breaking the law so i think if they were to come out with some clear statements on here's what we expect and you know we'll let you in of a because that's always the biggest issue with with you know government interference is that stifles innovation across you know where block chain i think is going to change the world you know not for just finance but for things like voting and you know just sharing information in a very transparent way so yeah i'm very hopeful that we will see you know lenient you know regulation at least initially i agree with you actually on most of that jared and one of the other things that see f.t.c. chair giancarlo told the banking committee and you may recall it from sitting through all of it today was that he thought that we should look at digital currencies and block change sort of like we did the internet when the clinton ministration was in place and and give them sort of a free pass and some of the regulation so that we didn't for innovation that happened then it sort of worked although i guess that's subject to some debate so

anyway we thank you so much jared for being with us jared andersen the director of simpler trading cryptocurrency thanks for being with us hope you'll come back again yeah thank you for having me really appreciate it. wells fargo a historically important part of our american heritage has been in the woodshed for a few years now and for good reason they established sham accounts for their customers and charge them for things they didn't want to or ask for amongst other things they have been hauled up to the hill before the house and before the senate and it was not a love fest best you were competent at worst you were complicit and either way you should be fired well fargo officials testified to tepid measures to address concerns but later there was even more trouble now the us federal reserve has waited taking an action which one commenter said is putting the fear of god in the board and bank board rooms here discusses eric reimer a former f.c.c.

official and policy commentator eric thank you for being being with us first of all tell us what you make of their entire sort of nefarious actions give our viewers what wells fargo has done over the last three years to put them in this problematic circumstance and it's a very multifaceted problem basically it back in september two thousand and sixteen . the o.c.c. and the boss and his city attorney revealed that wells fargo for about a decade had been encouraging or at least facilitating it's a sales for ups to create millions of fake accounts primarily checking accounts have accounts credit cards for their customers that were not authorized by their customers and essentially this allows wells fargo to reach sales quotas to drive increased fees and to basically bolster their bottom line at the expense of their customers that also goes on top of several other scandals the past few years that wells fargo has faced ranging from the car loan scandal.
