6:30 pm
churchgoers in south carolina. well it turns out he was able to purchase his weapons because of errors in the f.b.i.'s background check process and then there is no adel hassan he shot up a u.s. military post in texas back in two thousand and nine. turns out the f.b.i. was fully aware that he was online in communication with top al qaeda leaders they still didn't bother to investigate i think we've seen time and time again over the last he is our intelligence agencies across the west dropping the pool in terms of getting tips being aware of potential threats and not following up on those threats and you taking out the sense of measures it seems lessens not being learned they need to have a proper view about you know what exactly are the threats what are they trying to
6:31 pm
do how can they best protect the people of that country to protect against these threats and that doesn't seem to be done it's not like these federal law enforcement agencies are lazy just recently we heard from the f.b.i. that chinese foreign exchange students are a threat to national security we also have federal agencies urging us not to buy chinese brand cellphones and more recently congress renewed the power of the n.s.a. to wiretap and spy on american citizens some might come to the conclusion that it's not incompetence or a lack of effort the issue is rather the type of threat these agencies are choosing to focus on cable poppen r.t. new york. post the new school teachers be left scarred after being told by an israeli army dog who would have warning you may find some of the following scenes disturbing. was assaulted during a west bank right by israeli defense forces and they were searching for a different man the lead killer of an israeli who bears the same surname as jerome
6:32 pm
you can start to the extent of the injuries sustained during the morning school teachers expected to require further treatment including a skin graft to one of his arms and also been left with a leg injury. so cars that are the sort of thing i woke up when i heard explosions i looked at my house door and it had been destroyed by an i.d.f. bomb and after that there were several other explosions that destroyed the windows and damaged the house i went immediately to my children's room and we gathered after that there was another explosion that destroyed the bedroom door i saw a dog it started to attack me and bite my shoulder and then it started to bite my leg and i was screaming. the palestinian schoolteacher was allegedly attacked in front of his children and his wife. and since this incident has had a psychological effect on my husband my children and myself i am staying at this hospital with them and i see him waking up at night shaking and trembling as the
6:33 pm
eldest son also wakes up screaming about his that and the little one is waiting the bad it was a terrifying experience the dog attacked my husband for over seven minutes and i try to help and defend my husband by grabbing the dog's head but i couldn't get it away from him. we had the idea for call and on the case it responded by saying that iran had previously threatened civilians in jewish majority areas of the west bank also told us the raid was conducted in accordance with standard procedures and that general was immediately given medical treatment but he disputes that saying it had to wait for any treatment that didn't last a word i was bleeding for more than two and a half hours and they took me to the hospital note that i only got treatment at the hospital itself not from the i.d.f. or from journalist mike blumenthal says that the use of dogs is standard i.d.f. policy. this you know is being cast by the israeli military and government as kind
6:34 pm
of an isolated incident but as any of us who follow the situation in the west bank know this is far from isolated it's part of the clear policy of using dogs as kind of an advance team during home raids of palestinians there is also a high profile case in twenty fifteen of a sixteen year old from the southern town of beit omar also a town that's under pressure from from jewish settlers where he his home was raided by an israeli dog unit this is a sixteen year old named him he was badly mauled by a dog you know these dogs apply two thousand pounds of pressure per square inch and israeli soldiers were taunting him on video there's actually video of this incident and now he. and the palestinian human rights group are suing not israel but actually the dutch company for winds canine which supplied those dogs and has
6:35 pm
supplied what it calls biting dogs to the israeli military for violating u.n. conventions on companies operating in conflict zones so this is a very significant lawsuit and it speaks to a wider policy of what the israeli dissident journalist gideon levy calls lynching by dog. the ice hockey team from russia has been for nothing against the united states progress to the quarterfinals of the winter olympics well these are the potential use in building chang joint funds for the build up to the much. tonight's the night of the biggest event so far of the young twenty eight seeing it if you don't know what that is just yet in a second it will be written all over my face. seem usa. this team oh we are in on.
6:36 pm
that. well donald trump and vladimir putin watch this game yeah i think so what do you think donald trump will do if he sees a gold being scored by the o.a.r. team read about it. because you asked if. you will write this girl see why you know what she's talking now guys will you hate russia tonight my love for sure i'm actually looking for and i'm actually coming making my first ever visit to russia for the world cup this summer while that is great even though the u.s. are not taken for the not taken apart i want to russia the game is sold out and even though it's just a group stage match the talents online outside the stadium are reselling tickets at
6:37 pm
exorbitant prices he think john supporting one of the sides in this one. if i had to take a guess what is it the u.s. russia i believe rush do you think donald trump and a lot of our putin will be watching that i really hope so god like what else are they doing. come on what happened this is so much fun you. are saying. you know you have a trade go r.t. right outside the ice hockey arena and beyond chang right before the number one game of the week. same with hockey this saturday the women's team from russia beat the swiss rivals on for the first time in history and to the semifinals of the winter olympics that despite the fact four key team players didn't even receive an invitation to the competition from the i.o.c. actually the russian plays on to overcome the weight of criticism back home especially after losing to the united states but they put the defeat behind them
6:38 pm
and now set their sights on a podium finish. it will take decades to clear the iraqi city of mosul of unexploded bombs that's according to a new u.n. report will explain after the break. israeli practices the press oppressive measures being deployed against the palestinian people everywhere the settler colonial ism the theft of our land and the many many. stating things that there is of doing of course they can cool. looking at value surveys russians aren't so different from their european neighbors when it comes to individual rights and freedoms however they do have a very low tolerance for uncertainty in politics that translates into
6:39 pm
a strong electoral advantage for the incumbent making power transitions rare and precarious what would it take for russians to stop playing it safe politically. a u.n. report says unexploded bombs will litter the iraqi city of mosul for decades to come and could endanger civilians the complexity of clearance works because many of the explosives are buried under an estimated eleven million tons of rubble the u.n. mine action service is senior program manager compared the situation in the city to that following world war two. become so
6:40 pm
explosive a house it is very and it is of unseen previously on the sea and proportions in terms of the contamination that we experience it is a mixture of coalition ammunition that has been fired and that has failed to function we are still made that least ten percent of the domination. that has five been fired has failed to function we also find that isis ammunition that has been fired has failed to function but with higher failure rates in addition to that we also find improvised explosive devices different types of explosive improvised explosive devices with different fusing systems all in common a combination with rubble high degree of rubble we estimate eleven million ton of rubble in western model at least. and in general a very difficult conditions to work under. it is
6:41 pm
a situation very similar to after the second world war of course what we are doing right now is that we are clearing we serving and we are clearing critical infrastructure but still after ten maybe twenty years maybe even longer there will still be explosive contamination. it is almost impossible to say we haven't got the full scope of contamination in mosul yet we haven't been through all creations but it is a question of years and until everything has been cleared it is probably more than ten years or the vast sum needed to restore and to rebuild the country is estimated at eighty eight billion dollars that's according to the iraqi government for the global aid pledging conference in kuwait only thirty billion was raised the u.s. led coalition started it and they are still campaigning twenty but it's actually been embedded in the country since way back in two thousand and three washington's
6:42 pm
pledge just three of the eighty eight billion dollars that said to be needed for reconstruction aid and this wasn't even direct financial help rather the money was loans and financing to help american firms invest in the country. much work remains to rebuild iraq and modernize its economy or the signal is strong in that world. and iraq is going through a five or four sides of a three billion dollar memorandum of understanding but don't let them know the announcement by the us government representative in the kuwait conference was clear they will not provide anything except perhaps some investment in iraq we believe that the iraqi government with all its political factions should have joined forces and demanded to pay the money and. the united states military plans to radically boost its stockpile of artillery shells by eight hundred percent that's an increase of almost one hundred fifty thousand units.
6:43 pm
of the order includes one hundred fifty five millimeter artillery shells the use of which are widespread among nato as naval forces also g.p.s. guided excalibur rounds are on the list designed for danger close situations we are security. what's likely to be behind the move. almost certainly one can say that these are used these are heavy weaponry they are used mainly in conventional conflicts what we're seeing here is a very large increase that i think can't be completely explained by replenishing
6:44 pm
used resources the what's being attempted i think it's a gesture it's a symbol that is saying we are massively increasing our defense expenditure in the areas that are likely to be used in a possible combat scenario with states rather non-state actors and invariably of course they're talking about russia possibly china iran and others and that would be consistent with the new stated u.s. security policy of confronting those states by any standard this isn't a very great increase in the number of shells being ordered a powerful stockpiling which again means that the army is affects from preparing for war. now crossing a frozen siberian lake on a pair of seventy year old skates might not be everybody's idea of a daily commutes but that's actually how it is for russian grandmother. please.
6:45 pm
please. please. please. say much worse commutes not too bad ok more news coming your way latest headlines at the top of the hour.
6:46 pm

6:47 pm
i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guides. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch pull the funnel school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money just kill you narrowness and spending two hundred twenty million on one player. it's an experience like no one else on to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy a great so one more chance for. the base this minute.
6:48 pm

6:49 pm
executives and italy's state backed oil company according to the italian prosecutor the issue surrounds an toward agreement between shell officials and senior any executives that shell would actually pay any but the payment would be funneled to another company controlled by dan attack today who would pay off nigerian officials for valuable offshore oil related rights and sent kickbacks to any i know it's an elaborate scheme but the prosecutor contends that even the high former rate former president of nigeria president jonathan good luck who is alleged to receive payouts during his presidency mr he does know is of course any involvement the. trial begins on march fifth in italy. on saturday must space x. will formally begin a program to offer internet access to all parts of the globe with the test of
6:50 pm
satellites for a world wide same with communications network last week the company launched the largest rocket called falcon heavy watching the hawks talbot the wallace by the way was at cape canaveral for the launch the plan for a space x. communications system may be several years away with an estimated eleven thousand satellites will be ready in two thousand and twenty four in low or orbit incidentally google had previously considered doing something similar to space x. but now is a one billion dollars financial backer of the space x. effort. the largest regional bank in the united states u.s. bancorp based in minneapolis has agreed to pay six hundred thirteen million dollars to the u.s. government for faulty compliance related to money laundering according to a government statement about the matter the bank willfully failed to maintain
6:51 pm
adequate safeguards against money large during leading bettencourt to miss many suspicious transactions over a five year period ending in two thousand and fourteen the settlement signalled out in the fairest trends that singled out the various krenz actions related to one high profile bank customer former racecar driver scott tucker who earlier this year was sentenced to sixteen years in prison for his involvement with a fraudulent payday lending scam. and air bus the french plane manufacturers saw its largest stock market market increased over ten percent in five years on thursday that's despite delays in the new a four hundred m. military plane and a large us tax hit the arab us stock performance closes the gap between air bus and their key competitor u.s. based boeing which has outperformed air bus by twenty percent this year alone until thursday airbus also confirmed that they will increase production of their popular
6:52 pm
a three twenty plane used in commercial air travel by seventeen percent to seventy planes each month there's been no announcement as if as if air bus will increase production of the a three fifty wide body jet in response to boeing's large seven eighty seven dreamliner. a canadian bank is hoping to become the fort knox of digital assets verse the bank is on its way to setting up a block chain based digital safety box a digital safety box which will amongst other things protect those who invest in crypto currencies artie's alex mahela vich has the latest from toronto. a small bank in london ontario it's a city about two hours outside of toronto well they're tackling what the big banks don't want to do and that's crypto currencies it's an industry that a lot of banks just simply don't want to touch now we're talking about versus bank
6:53 pm
versa break it's thinking a little bit outside of the box the process basically is instead of having vaults or a safety deposit boxes like we traditionally see in banks they want to do the same using block chain with crypto currencies and other things such as deeds and contracts a lot of those things right now are digital so that's what they want to secure but cryptocurrency is the big one here and there's a reason why we've seen in the past few years a number of high school when it comes to cryptic currencies hackers going in and stealing money one of the biggest happening just a little while ago actually just last month five hundred million dollars was stolen from japanese crypto currency exchange called coin check that affected two hundred sixty thousand customers now versus brett bank as i said wants you blocked and technology to basically make your your crypto coin secure as they would a money you know good money in a regular bank so when it comes to this type of technology really the thought process again is that this this bank itself it is a bacon existence it's not
6:54 pm
a big bank but it is already in existence and not brick and mortar type performance more like i.m.g. or something along those lines which you find online but being in the stablished and no name is an important thing because other companies right now that do that security for crypto coins we don't even know where they are half the time it's kind of find them online and really you're just playing a game of roulette with that now breaking everything down really for canada the big picture here is that canada itself wants to become a huge player in the crypto currency market japan also is biting at canada's heels these two countries really think that the crypto currency has something for the future other countries like china japan. china india and south korea have a very different view of. this they're putting up laws actually to block it crypto currencies in these type of the i.p.o.'s when it comes to crypto currencies in their countries bottom line here is that when you break everything down canada wants to be a big player and when it comes to verse the bank itself they were hoping to have
6:55 pm
this technology out by june of this year back to you. the first week of the two thousand and eighteen winter olympics draws to a quota of millions around the globe of tuned into the games to see if the best athletes around the world are competing effectively countless people watching means no it means one thing money but how does the money affect the athletes and other things for more we're joined by victor matheson professor at the college of the holy cross victor thank you for being with us these winter olympics are seeing lots of winners with the u.s. already taking five gold medals in different events i really like watching seven seventeen year old chloe kim and red gerard and a shaun white always a thrill and even jamie anderson but you know these medals mean something but do
6:56 pm
the athletes actually get paid for their efforts so the olympics themselves does not pay the athletes however individual nations might pay their athletes depending on how well they do so for example in the united states a gold medal is worth thirty seven thousand five hundred dollars a silver is worth twenty five thousand and a bronze medal is worth twelve and a half thousand dollars that's actually a record amount paid to a limb pick winners by the u.s. so see this year. and when we talk about you know athletes in professional sports we know those a lift athletes make you know millions and millions of dollars but do the libyans actually make money through sponsorship deals with companies like kraft in red bull or do you see that the snowboard with burton in the skis with fischer etc are they paying somebody to use those products etc yes so of course if you're an olympic
6:57 pm
athlete the big money isn't in these the money you get from winning the gold medal the big money in the gold medal although we wouldn't turn down thirty seven thousand dollars would me but the big money is that that gold medal makes you a pretty hot commodity for the sponsors so if we look at someone like shaun white for example he makes an estimated five to ten million dollars a year on sponsorship deals so while he's happy with that thirty seven thousand dollars from that gold medal he won what this really means is and the ability to extend his ability to put those sponsorships out for those big companies like burton and does it really i mean shaun white won one goal before this one another one but if we look at those athletes in the past and i know i'll date myself but other lympics champions like like mark spitz hussein bolt even bruce now caitlin jenner you know once you've won the gold does that really set you up to be
6:58 pm
have a financially lucrative career after the olympic games. well it obviously does penn's what sport you're in right we as americans are thrilled when someone wins the biathlon or some sort of long distance cross-country ski race but that's probably not a high enough profile to do much for you in the long term however we have athletes like obviously michael phelps the most successful olympian in the water in history he made about two million dollars more by winning a vents outside of the olympics over his career but he top that off with about one hundred million dollars more in lifetime endorsement earnings to this point and there's no reason to think that he's not going to be able to make indorsement earnings for a long time yet even though he's been retired from the pool. and how do some of
6:59 pm
these folks it must be difficult i mean i shouldn't say they're kids but clearly the seventeen year olds are or are not adults yet but how do the olympic these olympians make the transition in their careers you know whether or not it's going into the n.b.a. or the n.f.l. or something do they you know they get agents and and they just you know go with the flow i guess or what's it like for them well for some sports you actually do have a professional tour so both lindsey vonn and mckayla shifrin have made over a million dollars each in prize money on the ski tour over the last four years others have fewer opportunities and so you can go into coaching announcing like for example tara lipinski or into coaching like folks like not a company each or part conner victor matheson always a great to have you thank you so much for the information victor matheson professor at the college of the holy cross thank you have a great weekend thank you. kind
7:00 pm
offer quick break but stay right there because when we return we'll see the interview with magicka perry and her efforts to bring back opportunities to the developing world as we go to break here are the numbers at the closing bell. in america a college degree requires a great deal. paying a decade's long debt. studying so hard it requires drugs. going through humiliation to enter an elite society. and paci into debt sometimes quite literally. wants other true colors of universities in the u.s. .
