hundred nineteen have thirty millimeter chain guns this is by a company called general dynamics land systems in london ontario about an hour and a half two hours outside of toronto they build it and the canadian government is patting them on the back and letting this move forward now according trudeau he says that this deal falls in line with canada's foreign policy or foreign and defense policies some people say that's very debatable but beyond that he's gone to pointing fingers now listen to this quote from our prime minister trudeau he saying we have brought new processes of transparency and accountability to international sales because canadians expect a higher level of accountability then the conservatives have offered us for ten years now what he's doing is he's blaming our former prime minister stephen harper for this deal yes this deal was signed at the time of stephen harper's rain here in this country but look trudeau our prime minister could stop this if you wanted to and if you want to talk about prime minister harper you should be pointing out something very different that's libya i believe seven year anniversary now since that libya got bombed by nato powers and we know what happened to that country and

that was a war crime or if that wasn't a war crime i don't know what is maybe he should be talking about to stephen harper about that and also our foreign affairs minister at the time john baird maybe these guys should be held accountable for that and prime minister trudeau has to know that when it comes to this he's accountable if these weapons are used against saudis or if they're used in yemen and we know that the saudis are going hard when it comes to yemen. and alex give us a take on the u.s. i mean that was saudi arabia was the president president trump first trip outside his first foreign trip and so we seem pretty much more willing to work with the saudis than than other administrations what do you think what can you tell us you have a regime that's exported wahhabi terrorism a koran the world for some reason we can work quite well with them both americans and canadians this is what mr trump had to say this is amazing he said to the saudi prince come share your nation's wealth and create more jobs here in america so by purchasing more weapons from america and these are the weapons that are being used

in yemen right now what some are calling the biggest global catastrophe today on this planet these are american weapons and there's also american logistic support when it comes to attacking yemen we know that there were some senators and some people in the u.s. government that are saying or tried to stop this as a bipartisan effort to do it but the senate is not stopping it they voted to keep moving along and just keep a blind eye to what's happening in yemen it is a massacre of unknown proportions it's something that everybody in the western world should be ashamed of but for some reason we're pushing forward and for that reason what do you think it is weapons sales were making billions both can't of the u.s. and you could imagine many other countries in the western world as well. r.t. correspondent alex mahela bitch thank you so much for your time so you can time now for a quick break but stick around because when we return our own ashley banks will give us a take on the biofuels market plus we'll talk with fred kaufman about tariffs in relation

. and with other forms of energy on the rise of the united states both renewable and nonrenewable some members of congress are looking to reduce what they think is inappropriate spending on ethanol here with more on the topic is our two americas actually banks. there is bipartisan support in congress to phase out the corn ethanol mandate the renewable fuel standard which forces the oil refiners to mix corn based fuel into gasoline but corn ethanol mandate was created under the energy policy act of two thousand and five two years later president bush signed the energy independence and security act this act expanded the program corn growers and ethanol blenders benefit greatly the act provided them with a large tax credits and subsidies however when it comes to the american corn crop the mandate force about forty percent of it to be removed from the food supply all . according to reports what's even worse is the shortage cause corn prices to rise

from two dollars per bushel to more than eight dollars per bushel back in two thousand and twelve this praise surge resulted in detrimental consequences for the farming industry according to reports farmers plant at seventeen million new a curse of corn at the expense of soybeans wheat and content as a result prices for these crops were driven to an all time high cattle farmers were also a fact in many weren't able to afford corn gluten food causing beef prices to rise sixty percent between two thousand and seven and two thousand and twelve the u.s. has endured a great amount of economic disruption due to this mandate according to reports ethanol is an inferior source of energy producing thirty four percent less energy per value them venture no gasoline one of the reasons in which the ethanol mandate came to be was to wean the u.s.

from its reliance on foreign oil however the us is already approaching independence thanks to offshore drilling programs while many environmentalists want the mandate removed some politicians want it to stay with bipartisan support in congress to phase out this mandate the u.s. can see improvements to a practice that many deem as an effective and washington actually banks are reporting for boom bust. the world's largest maker of cultural equipment john deere company based in good old moline illinois is concerned about the trade war between the united states and other nations and deer executives are not so concerned with steel imports used to make their signature green and yellow machinery according to chief executive officer sam ellen douras more worried about the retaliation on u.s. cultural exports to other nations which if reduced could result in a surplus. in u.s. egg production leading to decrease prices here in the u.s.

and therefore a sluggish economy here discussing a lot more is fred kaufman author of bet the farm how food stop being food fred thank you for being here what you make a semi on the comments well sam allen like any other person thinking a c.e.o. anybody who understands global relationships right now sees the foolishness and shortsightedness of any policy of tariffs and increasing tariffs we have seen this historically of the disaster in one nine hundred thirty of smoot hawley we saw it in the one nine hundred eighty seven with tariffs imposed on germany and japan on semiconductors which led of course the one nine hundred eighty seven stock market crash which we somehow would have managed to forget this is a bad policy all the way through and clearly our president is trying to please his base who don't understand any of the intricacies of international trade you know just as a people hear about smoot hawley and they remind us but it was essential

a tariff that was imposed in the early thirty's and a lot of economists then and looking back say it really extended the great depression by a long time what are companies like deer and are there other companies like deer not not farmers in the those folks but other agriculture related implement dealers seed manufacturers. are they just concerned about the retaliation and what what mr allen is concerned about the grocery manufacturers of america are up in arms they cannot believe what they are looking at in terms of their manufacturing and we have to remember bart we are looking at the number one producer of manufactured goods in america that is of the grocery sector we are talking about one hundred actually more about one hundred thirty billion dollars worth of exports every year we're talking about more than two million. workers we're talking about more than thirty

thousand communities being affected by this it is just bad policy all the way through and if you just just look straight at the kentucky bourbon makers for example they are delivering more than a billion dollars to the tax base every year and of course the e.u. is saying well if you bring these tariffs on us we're going to go directly towards kentucky bourbon we're going to go directly towards cranberries harley davidson motorcycles but why cranberries well of course like harley davidson it's in wisconsin home state of the speaker of the house they're going to knock down cranberries they're going to knock down bourbon they're going straight for florida orange juice gee is florida the have got a whole list and it was interesting fred the e.u. list of all the products that they were going to put tariffs on total seven point nine billion dollars which is exactly the amount of steel and aluminum imports from the e.u. to the u.s. so for those that say this is not a tit for tat i'm sorry they're just wrong you know hasn't anybody told mr trump

that mercantilism was over about three hundred years ago now tell us about what are the major not just the groceries but what are the major production agriculture export soybeans corn wheat well we have this great tradition in this country of exposure exporting grains and seed grains and oil grains and china is taking our sorghum for feed and for bio diesel so really across the board these kinds of exports have been the key to american diplomatic power in the world and economic power in the world since about twenty fifteen other countries in the world in south america and canada parts of europe have understood the power of exporting food and agricultural products and so they're far are the the american export line has gone down while there is has gone up a policy like this is only going to exacerbate what is already a bad thing. and what about before that another big one is it in japan and china

are we've got big beef exports there and that's something that could also be retaliated against by those nations very well there is beef but how about peanut butter that's my thing that's my favorite thing that's being marked because if you notice the great peanut producers in this country are all through the red states of the south in other words through the great history of peanut producers in the trade and two of our presidents have been peanut farmers person. let me let me just ask you real quick before we go did i sort of set this up right about john deere is concerned and i imagine others farm all the other tractor companies that if we get retaliation and we don't have as much food if there's oversupply because we can't export it and the prices drop and then the whole farm economy tumbles that is that the right at least thing theoretically to think about look there is a reason why grocery manufacturing has never been vertically integrated let me just explain richard branson had a fairly profitable record selling company virgin records but then he said ok i'm

going to go into record making an artist management he integrate the whole thing vertically and made a lot of money there is a reason why the big grocery manufacturers are not farmers because farming is a risky business there's not a lot of profit in it and these guys can have the bottom ripped right out of them fred kaufman author of bet the farm house of food stop being food thank you for being with us. and that's it for this time be sure to catch boom bust on youtube youtube dot com slash boom bust r.t. we'll see you again. that's praise for a single purpose. they have a super. star training very young.

the far right and britain isn't just on the march it's taking violent mongers action i don't like need to hate against you know you know i see these organizations which only used to split into which we feel different names have you had. a. complex web of butcher's passion. how does it feel to be a share of the greatest job in the world it's as close to being a king as any job there is a good business model helps to run a prison now we do it on my guess is nobody you know visitation i don't know one comes anymore we don't have to serve them anymore it's cost effective that's what they want to do that at the moment they don't give a damn if you do the chores or not they're going to be paying us to put it back

for my double agent. the british government. calls for a joint investigation. provided by edward snowden revealed that the much security. may have been compromised by the us national security agency. runs for president we speak exclusively to. the situation we have in libya is the result of the destruction of the state institutions.

become a democratic state. putting up the world's top stories for the. international welcome to. an act of terrorism moscow is qualifying the alleged poisoning of a former russian double agent and his daughter russia's foreign ministry as they did. specs on the script from the u.k. and questions wide london refuses to even call on the investigation artesian a deer or two to reports. the foreign ministry spokesperson said a number of things firstly he reiterated that russia could have in no way benefited from the attack moscow says they consider this to be a terror attack secondly they stated that the u.k. refused to cooperate with russia which is against the convention on prohibition of chemical weapons and he mentioned the attack could have been orchestrated by

another party but then clarified that russia is not pinning the blame on anyone and asked that his words not be distorted let's take a quick look. we see that the british authorities are becoming ever more nervous and it's clear why the clock is ticking they have backed themselves into a corner they will eventually have to provide the increasing number of unanswered questions we expect from london and from the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons an official detailed account of developments regarding the scruple case we need comprehensive conclusions and detailed confirmations a spokesperson for the defense ministry also spoke out and he said that it seems that britain is afraid to conduct an unbiased investigation into the script of case and that the u.k. presented no proof that gas illegibly used to poison scruple was made in russia now we did have a reaction from a london embassy spokesperson who stated that moscow doesn't have to present

anything in terms of script or case but is ready for a joint investigation london has proposed russia a dialogue over this case however it doesn't see a constructive approach from moscow now the ambassadors that did not attend were britain u.s. and france britain and the u.s. sent embassy workers instead a crimp spokesperson reacted to the u.k. decision by saying that it showed unwillingness to hear russia's to its questions that moscow to date has do. any involvement in the attempted murders. and so this diplomatic spat that has gone on for a while now looks to continue to go on for some time former russian officer. was jailed in russia for handing secrets to british intelligence a move to the u.k. in a spy swap in twenty ten now three weeks ago in his daughter were found critically ill in seoul very u.k. police expect their probe on the alleged poisoning to take months however british

politicians were extremely quick to pin the blame on moscow britain's foreign secretary has become the latest to launch these accusations. russians. responded with. distortion and delay and that is their tactic. of cyber warfare this information middling in european election campaigns to say nothing of election campaigns elsewhere. russia has got to be moved. i want to be very clear that we do wish to engage in a new cold war and i deprecate that term i don't want i remember them of the. johnson has been one of the most outspoken in blaming russia but his latest claim borders on bizarre. they've got. the right to the. clues to the action putin's community and the way he was the one

hundred thirty six. so i think the comparison with nine hundred thirty six is is only right that's a p.r. effort on bars johnson's part actually look the british government is not treating this event as a criminal investigation using it as an opportunity to spread more bellicose rhetoric against russia and it's up to the cruising party to present the evidence first and then the defense will counter that britain has presented no evidence whatsoever of russia's involvement in this to this point. but the russia blame game has extended now into areas once considered beyond a political point scoring a lot of our correspondent lost us here a truck and filed an educational project that appears to have found inspiration from boris johnson himself what's better than helping the young to try to maneuver the ever tricky world of global current affairs. of the day is an online

news service that is used by one in three u.k. schools teachers might variance from subscribing schools use around schools and activities across all subjects for lessons homework research. here's one handed to tory and provided by the service to help educate the young and broaden their horizons talks of putin on mission to poison west ouch and among questions to discuss is putin europe's most dangerous leader since hitler was discussed. to help students out topics like the ongoing fight scandals where an investigation is still underway are broken down despite this incriminating evidence of international outrage milly smokes and everything in case there is confusion still there is a dictionary included which explains the meaning of the words marks surely this teaches you to put things into perspective. you know but chalk and blitzkrieg are

also if you're a military tactic designed to crush the enemy with overwhelming force a short space of time coincidentally made famous by hitler in world war two just to make it a bit easier to connect the dots brutal assassinations cyber attacks as well as plotting the downfall of western democracy also laid out as food for thought a you decide section let students consider the following questions is putin the most dangerous man in the world did the cold war ever end as well as what impression does putin give. what russia is like the day helps students develop information literacy in critical thinking and prepares them for the challenges ahead and the ever changing world critical thinking is key the toxic put in class is dismissed and if i say it you're going to party like it the script case was one of the issues that sophie shevardnadze discussed in an exclusive interview with russian presidential spokesperson dmitri peskov and you can watch the full

interview all day friday for now a preview. we have to remember the starting point is the you know words of president putin that russia has nothing to do with this accident. we're not speaking about. attempt to murder or to murder a russian spy in great britain where speaking about attempt to murder a british spy in great britain if he's handed in so russia quits with him he is of zero value of zero importance go ahead. we're not as crazy as to is to even to think about something of that kind. before presidential elections and before such important event global event as.

football championship. the first blaming came from politicians just a couple of hours after the accident and now what we see we see words of experts and experts of organization for p.c. w. . that say that the preliminary examining of this agent will take about three weeks . is it contradictory yes it is. i've. just one example is the our facebook chief executive mark zuckerberg has now for the first time commented on the scandal surrounding the social network after it was revealed that the personal details of his customers were in fact being used for political purposes in a lengthy facebook apology zuckerberg detailed exactly what went wrong with

prophecy policies and what steps have been taken to solve the problem he added that the company quote will learn from this experience to make the community safer for everyone going forward now to remind you this scandal involves a data gathering called cambridge analytical it worked with multiple u.s. presidential campaigns including donald trump's and reportedly harvested the details of fifty million facebook profiles for its political operations the company is now under investigation and has even suspended its chief executive however despite the fact that the scandal concerns an american tech giant and a data mining company with offices in new york london and washington there have still been bizarre attempts in the media to somehow tie the whole story to russia r.t.s. but i guess the experience imagine being a liberal democrat and being stuck in a trump presidency for a year.
