in the period between twenty twelve to twenty fifteen london is said to have more c.c.t.v. cameras than anywhere else in europe and some sources have even suggested that this is true compared to any other city on the planet and twenty seventeen there were understood to be half a million cameras in the british capital it's been estimated that by twenty twenty that number will be at over six hundred and forty thousand now according to the british security industry authority there is roughly one camera for every fourteen people here the average person living in london will be recorded on camera three hundred times in just one day the bottom line no matter which numbers you want to look at londoners are considered to be amongst the most watched in the world with a rapidly expanding technological capabilities keeping track of these numbers will be even more tricky moving forward since many cameras are operated not necessarily by government related bodies but by businesses and individuals too according to the u.k. government surveillance camera commissioners annual report that was presented to parliament this year surveillance camera technology costs approximately two point

two billion pounds a year in the u.k. also according to the same report automatic numberplate recognition or a p.r. remains one of the largest nonmilitary databases in the u.k. its scope is approximately nine thousand cameras that capture up to forty million pieces of data numberplates a day and up to twenty billion of those records are held the length of time for data storage is more than anywhere else in europe just as if you're going to r.t. london. and time now for a quick pause for the promotional cause but stick around because when we return we talk market meltdown and exotic products and some related problems with the executive director of the healthy markets associate and tyler gold lash as we go to break the consumer price index for january rose half a percent higher than expected but u.s. markets mainly stayed in positive territory here are those numbers at the closing bell.

a drop in demand to cut prices for some varieties and a half or more on exchanges in even some notable traders have declared bankruptcy the u.s. department of agriculture has met has measured the hoppe glut they say inventories rose fifteen percent just a few months ago with growers holding sixty five percent an all time high i say this news calls for i don't know a drink. have the markets more to the point where it has some wondering if the financial products available to investors are suitable for individuals for a mom and pop investors and institutional investors and if those products are actually working in tandem with markets for the benefit of all here to discuss is someone who has spent many years looking at markets and some of the problems with them tyler glad to have director of healthy markets association mr glass worked in

the senate for a number of years the investigation subcommittee which oversaw market could torsion the two thousand and he works professional staff member at the u.s. securities and exchange commission plus is an attorney so he's a triple or quadruple threat to try to keep track of tyler welcome thank you for being with us thanks for so what do you make of these market moves we've seen in the last in recent days last week or so yes. i think we're all trying to figure out what makes sense i mean one of the things i think we've seen is six hundred points in a day is a is a lot. and when you're talking about the largest point drop in history you have to get pay attention we've seen a four point six drop in one day five point two percent drop over a week that's a lot and it's a lot to digest and one of the things i think we're seeing now is the era of speculation and it's not all that different from two thousand and ten when we had a flash crash and there's a lot of speculation what happened but we do know we know that some things work we

know right now that we have some financial products seem to have been at the heart of it we know there seemed to be volatility products that were at the heart of it we also know that we didn't see some things we didn't see stub quotes we didn't see a bunch of broken trades we didn't see some of the things that did happen in the flash crash we didn't see huge delays in the tape in the field order book yet so what's what's really interesting is some post flash crash reform squarely have helped. but what we also are seeing is we still don't know what's going on we still don't know who's doing what and we don't see how the markets are interacting what we do know is that we're seeing a lot of one hundred point drop in a day let's i'm going to take take these one at a time you have to so many things that are interesting but so you talk about that sixteen hundred drop now it was six it didn't end up at sixteen hundred a day don't know what it up eleven seventy five i think that day or may that was the ten thirty today but it ended up a around a thousand or

a little bit more but it dropped the move to sixteen hundred as your six hundred points is your your contention i mean correct yes so so my question is you know years ago after when you were at the commission to the f.c.c. we tried to harmonize these circuit breakers and that is a place where the market takes at first a pause then another pause then another pause if the markets move down a certain percentage and then. there is a time at which markets stop trading for the day is sixteen hundred points in a day something that needs to we need to re-evaluate whether or not these circuit breakers are calibrated correctly yeah well i think it raises certainly a question i think it also raises questions again how the different financial products interact you know you were obviously with the experience of the c.f.d. sea at the s.c.c. when you have an index futures leading into individual activities which is what we saw then in some of the things we're seeing now you really have to wonder how those things are fitting together for market participants or seamlessly traded for the

regulators they're not seen lessly overseen in terms of the how the circuit breakers are working you know a lot of things it's based off of percentages and one of the things we have to come to grips with is and i gulp when i say this is an eleven hundred seventy five point day is no longer a ten percent day and so it's a it's a four point six percent is that a big change absolutely is that something we have to worry about absolutely. but i think as the numbers. larger the percentages get smaller ok let's get into some of these products that you're referring to so exchange traded funds that really came about twenty five little more years ago were pretty good invention most people would agree in that they're trying to track like the s. and p. five hundred or track the price of oil it's a basket. of products they'll try to mimic that so if you're a mom and pop investor you don't have to be in to ten different stocks to track tax

for example. pretty good most people would agree but now they have these things that you're referring to these leveraged exchange traded funds and then these crazy things called inverse e.t.f. so what's the problem with there two and three times it's like a crazy casino right where you can lose two and three times what you've put in why are those potentially problematic well i think we have to look at financial products generally and this isn't just an issue for the c. f.t.c. and bitcoin for example where it's also come into play on bitcoin futures what's a financial product look like we're seeing it here on things like what's a volatility product you know the volatile the vix was created to help the pricing of the losses the volatility index is traded at the chicago board. a lot of people call it the fear gauge so anyway the vix so that so the vix is created in the eighty's and really launched in the ninety's is something to to measure and help

for pricing of options and originally one hundred stocks and then it gets expanded to the five hundred it was never created as an investment vehicle now it's actually been in a financial product and what we don't really have is a system where the regulators take a step back and this is at the see if you see where the f.c.c. and say why are we here why does this product exist what are the risks for investors and the way i would describe it is a really accurately describes timebomb might get s.e.c. approval that's not a great investment vehicle for both retail investors or a large pension fund or frankly anybody well look when you were at the a c c you work with commissioner kara stein and you know you gave the f.c.c. and my agency a hard time when you worked in the senate and thank you for doing so but you were pretty. powerful on talking about protecting investors mom and pop investors do you think that the f.c.c.

ultimately even though i got your time by analogy. i might look at classifying these leverage and inverse e.t.f. in a different way than just any run of the mill product are they going to let it go yet so i think in some respects the there is a lot of water already under the bridge and i think over the last several years there's been a lot of financial products that have been like go by the agency i think there is actually a renewed interest and i credit chairman clayton and his and his colleagues he's got a full commission to look at these issues and i actually believe they are looking at how they can do their best to protect investors and i think that that's going to be reconsidering some of the water that's already gone under the bridge and saying look we are here as the investors advocate we have a protection job to do and i think i believe that they're going to be doing it and you said the key word there job at the s.c.c. and they know it well but to remind our viewers is to protect investors it's not

about protecting the wealthiest among us but you are the executive director of the healthy markets association you've been a public servant we thank you for that we thank you for spending time with us thank you for shit. and before we go according to reports from nestle's the candy maker india's pet population the pet population is up to nineteen million in the country that's up from seven million just twelve years ago why would the candy company nestle be tracking this number because besides making candy nestle and competitor mars both also make you guessed it bet food nestle owns purina and mars all markets the pedigree brand both corporations are now competing with local companies and other multinationals to feed those millions of hungry cats and dogs according to the financial times over the past few years pet care products sales have been growing at an average rate of twelve percent each year euro monitor says

pet care products sales are up almost two hundred eighty eight million dollars last year alone up from around ninety eight million dollars just five years earlier in two thousand and twelve i wonder if they have a curry flavored gravy train. on a programming note tomorrow night tosh a sweet reports from los angeles on who is making money from all that surveillance we've been discussing today plus will discuss oil and gasoline prices in light of the recent price drops and we'll get more on digital currencies from the bitcoin queen of switzerland all that's coming up next time but that's it for today thanks for watching be sure to catch boom bust on you tube you tube dot com slash boom bust r.t. see you again.

soon most losing the moves but. just music to stay in the room with them which is this is. a. little bit some of it is just almost trying to. comfort them for us to gather some of them know. what politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or

rejected. so when you want to express. some want to reach out. to the right to be close this is what the full story of the people that i'm interested in the lives. if off to mars and coalition negotiations germany's two largest parties have provisionally agreed on a compromise that may yet fall through all of these difficulties a sign of something major going wrong in german politics the birthing pangs of the country's fourth from coalition. 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 paci to dance sometimes quite literally. want other true colors of universities in the us. that just. so over there i want to do things that show you very soon we will be very clear. the way your. management. and they are they they are what they have and they have.

given you need to feel that you need. some yeah and then what do you how much. do you. mean that within those you still want to talk more next time.

you know they don't know. headlining this hour one of the deadliest campus shootings in u.s. history seventeen people are dead and around a dozen injured at a high school in florida. and other news this hour the british government accused of turning its back on interpreters who helped its military in afghanistan we speak exclusively to one whose asylum deal has been rejected. and a u.s. t.v. network releases a vast database of tweets allegedly used by moscow to influence the twenty sixteen presidential election even though some a scathing of russia praise and criticism. from

the news team here at the international. update first off another school massacre in the united states this time at a high school in florida seventeen people are dead and at least a dozen others are reported injured video emerged online which seems to be from one of the classrooms while the attack was underway please be warned though that it does contain upsetting scenes. i guess. as the shots rang out inside the school in the city of parkland panic students were seen running to safety this video was taken while the gunman was still on the attack it's understood the killer set off a fire alarm to draw people into the open because as many injuries as possible armed officers rapidly swarmed the campus before leading pupils and staff to safety . the vision to take a quick. thinking wish pictures from the scene show the

distress of those who are touched by the tragedy here's how the story unfolded. we saw my dead body there on the floor and do i know it on the floors how many people like five on the third floor. it look like students there was one teacher and four students. so they do pull the fire drill we want to side boom boom boom boom where is gunshot i doze firecrackers but other to lash out like oh you. know like coming in bringing a gun to shoot at you like started taking

a family i love you we never know why he gets shot or killed. i want to start out by saying this is catastrophic. and on believe it we catastrophic game for our county history it's devastating i'm sick to my stomach. the deadly shooting took place. at the moderate stoneman douglas high school in the city of popular and it was named the safest city in florida last year and one of the safest in the whole of the united states police have detained a suspect and identified him as nicholas cruz he's a nineteen year old former student of the school who was expelled for disciplinary regions and he said that he was armed with a semiautomatic rifle and multiple magazines. students at the high school in paul clinton describe the suspect as troubled some even said he looked like a future school shooter others say he was a firearms enthusiastic in his free time. and it's now believed that nicholas cruz

had to instagram accounts which have since been deleted plenty of the pictures showing with weapons former police officer dominic says that the suspects mental health should be questioned not gun control policies this is an ultimate cry for attention and i'd like to see the media for the first time not look at this is a gun issue and to shy away from the anatomy object or or start to start to look away from why or how these individuals are getting the guns and start looking at the intent behind it why are they doing this what's the mental health of this person what's their personal individual issue if there's one thing that we do know it's been proven time and time again that the gun itself does not do any damage but the issue is the person behind it their intent their motives their means the us has a long history of school shootings that have been two hundred seventy five incidents since twenty thirteen that's an average of nearly one a week eighteen shootings have been reported in school so far this year alone

here's a look at some of the most serious cases in the last decade. so over three hundred million guns is enough for every person in the united states to have a gun it's insane and you know we license cars you can't just get in a car and drive it but you can get a gun and shoot it you know need any training you don't need any licensing. and

a lot of states now you can carry them. undercover illegally there's a lot of nutty miss in this country about how guns make you safer. and they evidence is all to the contrary. so the news now the british government's being accused of turning its back on interpreters who helped its military in afghanistan many have received death threats from the taliban and say they can't remain in their homeland only boy who spoke exclusively to an afghan interpreter who's facing his final bid for asylum in the u.k. . they only to give me the notice for deportation they told me that you have to leave the country so they're going to send me where. i will dip and differently because of abdul that he was a front line in tap for seven british forces in afghanistan from two thousand and eight to two thousand and ten and i know that if i joined the british forces it would be a great test for me but i have to do that because our country was. situation in our

country was very bad so i have to help the international forces to protect other countries so they came to my country to protect us so why should i not hoping that working with u.k. troops made abdul a target for local taliban forces that i was a phone call from my from my father and a letter put on my door so we know that your son is working for the infidels so tell him to leave the job that they were still be slatted the threats soon turned to violence when the taliban grated on my family my father and my mom and my dad so on that time when that happened he was completely angry all the problems happened to me just because of you creating problems for us with his and his family's lives in danger abdul was forced to flee i did i had enough time to go and see this for protection or something like that on it was for me one choice to leave

the country he came to britain illegally through cali and applied for asylum on the very first day since then the home office has rejected his initial application and his appeal the government says it's safe to return to kabul where he says his life is in danger that was. ours and justice. because when i heard i helped the british forces in a very risky time but at the moment i am at risk i need help but they still ignoring me. as an asylum seeker abdul can't walk and this is the modest accommodation that the government provides for him he also gets thirty five pounds a week in living expenses and he has the constant threat of deportation looming over him there around a thousand afghan interpreters that worked with british forces around four hundred

of them have been given you k b s's which means abdul is one of around six hundred who haven't qualified the system has been described as unfair and a lot a lot abdul's best friend how much managed to win hash much applied for his visa while still in afghanistan and after a two year wait he was brought over to the u.k. under the government's official afghan interpreter scheme do you feel guilty sometimes that you got the visa and didn't buy one visa for everything to those who spend time over the telephone isn't that seventy per cent you know going to be almost all it will be able to be you're searching for people. that they were good. for me. but need before so. if you want to get back in afghanistan abdul was a professional boxer he can't compete in the u.k. because he doesn't have a work permit but he can still train since i came here he can do nothing to staying

at home going out sometimes they keep him busy with my turnings you googled market woman so you may be. told you would be. overcharging. for the work that the world. should be told me but i have a full. view of the the world. the people will trust the rules and you. will be above your all abdul can do now is wait for his final appeal against deportation to be considered by the home office problem turf either in afghanistan. or the same cost there was a.
