savings or health care funds it's really a shame so that's my guess where this investigation is headed i say it's social media absolutes facebook it's twitter it's been able to reach a much wider gullible audience unfortunately in some cases and you see this every day and i think it's good that the f.c.c. is cracking down and the silver lining to all this is you were alluding to even though it's a scary circumstance now for some people but i'm glad they're doing it as a regulatory guy and i know you are too in that regard that ultimately this is the professionalization i think of the cryptocurrency universe there will be i suppose going forward but in the future they really do need to have some regulatory purview don't you think and oh absolutely and i think this is fantastic news for anyone out there who has done everything by the book hired the attorneys filled out the correct forms a dealt with the f.c.c. filed their form d's under regulation a regulation ready and is conducting a legitimate offering with

a legitimate product i think this type of enforcement will see like i said separate the legitimate players from the scammers always very helpful information preaching your insights i know our viewers you tube or philly ascii thank you for joining us again always happy to be here parker. and time now for a quick break but hang out with us because when we return we talk about food inequality and how the impact of those people with not the money to actually shop for healthy foods as we go to break here are the numbers at the closing bell boy those markets are down down down down down town back in a moment. at the moment we've had the period of fake the flavor. engineer by all the central

banks of the day don't have the control that they think that they have and once you start to see this being picked up in markets like the gold market and others you know you've got to start to see it feed on itself in a big way. in some american cities the police of built themselves cling to refutation of people who walk on the street to be united states who are at risk from the very people who are supposed to protect that poor people are no more afraid of the police than of the terminals. you can see something happening and this is like i don't want to call the cops let that happen rather than call the cops in those young black men lose their lives chasing the same goes on the trigger you never know better safe than sorry i don't know that someone else is going to pull a gun so yes unfortunately around around here we end up killing our guns are stolen

from such precautions to be like when we do. chicago mayor rahm emanuel has touted the large expansion of all hair airport once the busiest u.s. but now number three the mayor says that the renovation expansion effort will receive eight point five billion dollars for a new terminal thus increasing the number of gates by twenty five percent there are currently one hundred eighty four gates at o'hare but now american airlines is arguing that a new gates will be disproportionately given to united continental holdings united

has more current flights in and out of chicago than any other air carrier both united and american are seeking to expand their flights to medium sized cities in the u.s. and internationally and they've targeted global care is for revenue but united rather american based in fort worth says are targeting global markets also and united they say is getting an unfair competitive advantage under the plan in chicago. we reported yesterday on dick's sporting goods no longer selling certain firearms in light of the florida school shooting which took the lives of seventeen people now wal-mart has joined the large number of us companies saying they will no longer sell firearms to anyone under the age of twenty one dick's and wal-mart are two of the largest gun sellers the united states in a statement wal-mart said quote we take seriously our obligations to be responsible sellers of firearms in related news president trump yesterday voiced support for

a bipartisan effort in the u.s. senate to expand background checks for gun sales. over to credit card debt amongst u.s. citizens is because grown to a seven year high of eleven point nine billion dollars up eleven and a half percent just in the fourth quarter of twenty seventeen the data includes a rise for most homeowners falling behind in their mortgage payments mortgage debt also rose by five point two percent to nearly fifty seven billion dollars the data released by the federal deposit insurance corporation f.d.i.c also notes a decline in commercial and industrial debt some analysts have said that the new trump tax reform law which champions long term corporate tax cuts spurred companies to pay off their loans while average consumers increase their debt particularly in the last quarter of the year around the holiday season. with wealth

inequality on the rise other issues are being impacted as well and one of these places in the food industry as the world has seen an expanse in things like whole foods and other elfie chains those who can't quite afford it are left with much less healthy options for more on this we go to our t. correspondent alex mahela bij welcome alex with a how are the how are the shopping things changing all the different choices that we have around this country and i know really around the world i know up in canada too how are they changing things and is it for the better alex. well you know absolutely and i assured a lot of our viewers are wondering why is this guy in canada telling us about the states where we are demographics are pretty much identical up here are the changes are identical i've been on both side of the border both sides of the border a lot of the time so you can see it happening and the big motion right now is you know there is this move towards online shopping that we're hearing in the grocery stores are also looking at that game so we know that amazon bought whole foods it

was a part of their move to also increase online shopping by having this karen key delivery system the thing is that these stores though they want people to come into the store so they have to deliver something that they can't get online and that is experience so for example there's one company up here called nations in canada they actually have playgrounds in their stores so it's for families so they can bring your kids if you look at whole foods if you look at trader joe's or whole foods you'll have the cafeteria areas you'll have patios outside where you can sit and talk to friends they're becoming little social hubs wherever these places open up at trader joe's is also a great example of products that are just at this one place so they have their own line of products i know that can appear in canada we don't have trader joes all across the border just to get those pretzels that are filipino but our cars are so delicious so things like that and you know they they they really want to drag people into their stores and it's also what consumers want so we see different

change in consumer behavior for example organics i mean that's that's a huge thing right now the states is number one if you look back to two thousand and thirteen that's just five years ago the market for gannett products in the states is twenty six point seven billion dollars that's a lot of money you see candidates on there on that list as well so any way you turn it a lot of it has to do with demand but it also has to do what's on the ground what people want some of the names that are pretty surprising wegmans for example which is an old school type a grocery store it's just one that hipsters happen to be attached to and they they want the old school experience to look at publix the florida chain it's expanding so that old school experience is still there and it's still alive and it's still growing in its own way as well. alex when you shit when the you showed that graphic it made me sort of proud i was at the department of agriculture we did the organic rule and it might interest some of our viewers i mean it's great to see how far we've come but that was the most commented upon regulation in history the new

record is now for net neutrality so it's good that people are being and ball alex we sure appreciate you being being with us you're always a great to tell us we know you know about the states up there and we appreciate you telling us about it alex mahela bitch up in toronto thank you alex thank you. and kenyon on the subject of food inequality and healthiness and some of that about the still szell status too we're joined by fred coffee fred kaufman author of bet the farm how food stop being food fred thanks for being with us again ok so let's go back to what alex was talking about first about these places trader joe's whole food wakeman's in the d.c. area you know they are more than just a place to get healthy food there's somewhat of a status symbol of going there right look social status has long been associated

with choices in this country really for the past couple of hundred years and what's so interesting in this regard is that those choices are dependent upon education and income as opposed to proximity right. quickly on the social thing it's not just about what you eat because some of these places there's a whole foods near where we live and it's a hangout place the people are watching sports games they have they sell alcohol it's a hangout place and they mean back when we were kids no way you were never any out of the store unless you were delinquent and i think that the grocery stores are really feeling a lot of pressure from online. retailers and from get in from starbucks and from a lot of places where our sense of community is being fragmented and i think there's a very strong sense that the grocery store is going to try and fill in that void while we're purchasing our daily bread ok so you talked

a little bit about you talked a little bit about education. in food and if you read about what's good for you and you can certainly buy it at these sorts of places and we buy things like wheat grass which has a thousand times the antioxidants and can help you help help ward off cancer but not everybody has the education and not everybody has the opportunity to go to these sorts of places throughout the country explain that well in the one nine hundred ninety s. there is this sense of the idea of the food desert that and that in fact right where they were there were places where there was no availability of the kale and the cabbage and so what happened was that governments particular united states government but other other places around the world got very involved michelle obama was very involved in a five hundred million dollar program to bring organic food to bring natural foods to bring fresh vegetables into disadvantaged neighborhoods and oddly enough guess what it did not matter it did not matter there were no significant health outcomes

that were different when we brought the fresh fruit in there is no significant difference in outcome in terms of weight we have a real obesity problem not only in this country but around the world and the reason the reason for that it didn't make a difference was because the the individuals didn't understand that this was good healthier food for them because they're just sort of prone to eating the package stuff in the mcdonald's or it's a mystery wrapped inside an enigma i mean i think that everybody i think everybody knows that kale is good and three doe's are bad but i think on another level there's an issue of how much time it takes to prepare the food we should disclose. you're calle interest on this program by the way i'm getting the right attitude i'm deeply invested in kale not at all but but absolutely there is a very strong sense should we increase education is should we increase green markets what can we you know do we do community far old talk about that talk about

farmers markets accept that i know are popping up not just in the u.s. but around the world are those things that are actually working at all for those that may not have the opportunity to go to a trader joe's or whole from the statistics say that among all those things that aren't working these aren't working least so in other in other words the way the way that the food stamp program is working now actually it's a very wonderful thing is that you're given double the amount for your money if you do spend it at the farmer's market and that hopefully does have does have an effect but that but the fact of the matter is people's food choices are not coming from what they know is going to help them out and to fifteen years down the line when you are in poverty you're thinking more about what's happening at the end of the day and you can see this very clearly in other parts of the world in terms of how this is impacting women as opposed to men women who are educated as opposed to an age educated are two to three times

a less likely to be obese oh really yeah it's and it's an extraordinary statistic and you're looking at it we're looking at a world right now we're two billion people are overweight or roughly thirteen percent of the people on this planet are technically obese eleven percent men fifteen percent women break that break that down not by every country wouldn't have time but i assume that we in the u.s. are a little bit more on the heavy side the united states and canada and mexico and new zealand and australia these are all places on the high side i thought was most telling about the statistically saw earlier was a place like japan and korea where the intake of. organic food is extremely low and the incidence of overweight is also extremely low. so we see no correlation what's the lever. let last thing is it's unfortunate that even when you are educated if you're limited in your income or even in your food stamps that you

. you just don't have many choices around there and that goes to what you've written and you talk about in your book but you write about it all the time is that we've got a system of food system of the united states which really is geared toward producing these things that have lots of sugar because we subsidize sugar and we subsidize a we and that's the lot of the stuff that sect and that's that and not to pick on mcdonald's but a lot of fast food places talk about that briefly yeah absolutely when you're consuming that meal of commodity potatoes and commodity bon and commodity meat and commodity tomatoes in the catch up that's exactly what you're feeding him so what's going on is we're not getting the most important elements in the food system which of the smaller farmer and the vegetable producers we're getting straight to or the agribusiness who are throwing diesel and throwing out methane into the atmosphere and so it's really a recipe for disaster not only a health disaster for diabetes and heart disease and certain cancers including

breast cancer but for the earth as as a whole it's really a fine balance for and i've dealt with these issues on a policy basis for years because you want to ensure that there are family farmers out there so you want to make sure they could make a living excited and in some cases that means a subsidy that they at least they get paid something for whatever it is they produce and if they don't exist then that land will be bought up by the corporate farms and there may be a some good things but corporate farms but there's also a lot of good things about the texture and fabric of rural americans be calling the land credit kaufman author of bet the farm how food stop being food thank you for your time thanks part. thanks for watching be sure to catch bill bastone you tube at youtube dot com slash boom bust archie catch you next time.

that he made putin on fails russia's new strategic of all signal including a nuclear capable missile he says can defeat all existing defense systems this comes in response to the u.s. development of an anti missile shield. with the world reacting to president putin a speech the us state department briefing tons on t.v. after the spokes person refuses to. questions from the russian journalists. who say that they are you know gerry and from there sure are going to let you take the ok an upside down are move on. and solve africa's parliament passes a measure that could see wind farm

a script of their land without compensation we hear arguments for and against the controversial. like a partridge and you're watching the latest headlines here at r.t. international thank you for joining us. live in a persian hostile event his annual state of the nation address to parliament sharing his vision of the country's future during the speech the president also announced the development of new strategic weapons which he said outmaneuver all existing missile defenses r.t. senior correspondent one of the of. if you aren't russian the first hour of putin's speech would have been boring taxes and corruption science and industry that sort of thing after that though it got real

hot real fast maybe russia is a major nuclear power basically nobody wanted to talk to us nobody listened to us. listen to us now rockets lasers nukes in a rush hooted unveiled an arsenal of new weapons bigger faster stronger and deadlier than any that came before. the some super heavy i.c.b.m. two hundred ton missile capable of penetrating any existing defense in service at the end of the year next an enigmatic new development seemingly nuclear powered cruise missile it flies extremely low to avoid detection and can hit almost anywhere in the world says putin up next is just fantastic an underwater drone submarine also nuclear powered with

a nuclear payload it can reportedly underwater for months and months silent and undetectable next to the oven god the hypersonic missile extremely fast rockets that can actively dog and a vaid anti missile defenses. that is heading for the target like a meteorite to top all of that off laser weapons systems though putin didn't go into detail saying only that it still classified the russian president says all of this isn't to intimidate or scare anyone or invade anyone these serious. weapons designed for one thing restore and guarantee russia's strategic power in an age where an ever expanding nato is trying to nullify it. russia's growing military might is not meant to threaten anybody we have no plans

and have never had plans to use this potential to achieve offensive or aggressive in russia's enhanced military power is simply a guarantee for peace on our planet for it preserves restore parity in the world sure that there's no point in gauging in a senseless arms race after all mutually assured destruction has kept the world safe for the best part of a sentry i want to stress his points the new weapons serve only to balance the world powers putin pointed out that us military defense is already deployed in alaska and california we're following nato expansion into these two science have also been set up in romania and poland and the new science of same sent to be established in japan and south korea well apart from ground launch weapons the system also includes a naval component this has five cruisers and thirty destroyers which are stationed

close to russia's borders and we talked to several analysts to find out what they think of putin's unexpected military announcement. decades after the cold war the usa ruled the world and that balance of power is now shifting with russia coming in with many other major players and you look at some of the disastrous walls the west is involved ourselves in namely libya and iraq so there's some sort of balance coming back but as i see it from what putin is saying and i hope he's absolutely right that this is a deterrent against the american led defense system and that's a very important. effective tool to have so i don't see intensification of hostile talk or scheming and planning has in the cards what is possible and what was what was put into terms was to sober up the west and to bring that back to reality what russia has done is brusque so the united states whatever it says

publicly is going to have to have a deep research of everything of spending no on military because it's useless we were very surprised because we didn't know that russia was so advanced in the hypersonic technology and the real surprise in my opinion that not only. elaborated the but they're working actually and though both to serve in the russian armies in my opinion we can compare this breakthrough with. nine hundred fifty seven when the when the soviet union for the first time since put in the space. well the economy was also a key issue in president putin's speech and i knew four percent rise in g.d.p. was promised which would mean an overall rise of fifty percent by twenty twenty five also average life expectancy is targeted to increase to over eighty years old russia's economic development and finance ministers told r.t. what they think of the goals putin has set. but the signature of all these

restrictions stimulated russia to increase production and we've been joined growth not just in sector such as i agree culture and every day goods we see the reorientation of our economy in science towards what we previously received inputs we're developing our own high tech industries. to appreciate that the key priority is taking economy growth rates above the global average go sit before the government of vital and require more investments it's all six key initiatives highlighted by the president development increased life expectancy improved business climate developing human capital assets boosting workforce productivity and reducing poverty have already be making progress for a year and now we're going to take them to the next level. or reaction to patients revelations about russia's new capability have been coming in from around the world

the pentagon said it wasn't surprised adding it had been expecting such an announcement but tensions were pretty high at the u.s. state department america alone has the details well the state department says that russia's new hypersonic missile violates international treaties and how they're now it was particularly concerned about the video or imagery that was released claiming that it showed the missile targeting the u.s. and when reporters asked about this the scene turned pretty ugly and now it revealed just how uncomfortable she was when she slammed the russian reporters who pressed her on this says officials of the russian government let's take a quick look is more slaughter taken in the united states interests. sent to different directions so i had to say that they are you take out your reaction there shouldn't you ok ok enough said then i'll move on. which is why it's there to happen they're not. officials of the russian government they're just asking a question about me oh really ok well we know that. r.t.

and other russian news or so-called news organizations are there i'm good and directed by the russian government so if i don't have a lot of these issues over how they're going to set you up to do that moment you know this is i mean did you know the studio that you're talking about yesterday question is not an excuse me through and it was met with significant backlash from reporters all throughout the room but how did she respond with several doses of sarcasm of course but for the record this is her usual m.o. when she wants to avoid answering questions in the past she's referred to me and my colleagues as representatives of the russian government well veteran journalist for the a.p. matt lee asked a follow up to the russian reporter's question but that her now it's resentment which then carried over when he asked her a completely different question related to the appointment of ambassadors if there were people in line to replace you people were leaving and the fact is that because

you are not aware of it does not mean that that does not exist ok have a good moment because there are there are people in mind and in line for those types of positions perhaps you've just not heard about yet and then i made a berridge of questions now or shut down the entire press conference and then rejected a reporter's question which rightfully upset the reporter who then stood up from her chair and followed an hour out of the room we've got it we've got to go first on iraq i will talk to you after the no the iraqi parliament voted wednesday to call for a timetable for the iraq for foreign troops. now it's unclear what exactly agitated now are but it could have been the continuous stream of questions regarding the american reaction to president putin's address but journalists in the room were all defending each other so i wonder if we'll hear any complaints from the other reporters.
