some two hundred fifty kilometers away. v.a. is here to show his fellow professionals that he's still in the game and is still to be taken seriously. to build up all the automation on a say probably factors of the book by last week and most of. us oh ya feel me oh yes how are you. raise your. last question. said i was. the man on his cell phone is david.

clearly troubled by our camera he bouvier quickly calls his assistant to go reassure him. use it for you that you. need. to treat just like it just a diversion to his emotion at the buses. but he has no rights regarding our footage of. the. sights at the likes of. david no mudd it isn't just anyone he's the man with three hundred picasso's the head of one of the most powerful families in the art world the numb odds renown dealers. here's their stand at art basel mobiles by calder mirror who's funtown us because those. and also a roy lichtenstein and his own two feet all of them stars of modern art. in the mud

collection is valued at almost three billion dollars thousands of works most of which are stored at the geneva freeport. maybe the reason david no mud prefers to be discreet is because one of the paintings he owns is causing him problems with the law. the story started here in the paris archives in two thousand and eleven with this man james palmer. he is a canadian private detective who specializes in finding art looted from jews by the nazis. one day while rummaging in the paris archives he came across a file on a certain stetson or a jewish antiques dealer the man was dispossessed of all his assets during world war two. after the liberation of paris he found

a plane to recuperate his patrimony. the documentation is contained in this box it was here and they paris archives that we found a document that referred to the quest of mr oscar stener for his stolen pate. the information that we found was that oscar stettner had been despoiled of a number of personal items carpet for example of portrait of him as a young man and also a painting by mostly any. and an important painting and that was looted from mr stener during the war. the canadian detective began his investigation he discovered that the antiques dealer staton or had made his claim for restitution in one thousand nine hundred six but well before the liberation the painting had

already been sold by they've authorities. for the sum of sixteen thousand francs since then it disappeared. particularly because its description is so vague. the document only indicated that it was a painting signed by do jani portrait of a man. the detective had no idea what the painting looked like. he had to find a photo of it at all costs. by consulting peepers kept in the paris archives james palmer came across a clue this telegram. it states that staten or had sent the model jani to the venice biennale of one nine hundred thirty. i travelled to venice personally and went into the archives there and to the venice be anally archives i saw mr stettner spray painting. in a photograph. james palmer was delighted he'd found it. this

photo taken at the one nine hundred thirty venice biennale shows twelve paintings on the wall of the room dedicated to. ten portraits of women and two of men. the one on the right was already identified and well known. the painting in the middle however the one of a seated man is more mysterious. so now you've got reference to mr stener owning the painting you've got reference to portrait of a man. and you have a photograph that's the exact same painting that is now illustrated or described as the seated man. finally james palmer knew what the painting looked like. but where had it gone he searched everywhere activated his contacts toured the auction rooms archives and museums. and after

a few weeks ago. he found a trace of the painting here in london in the catalogue of an auction held at christie's in one thousand nine hundred six. the painting was entitled seated man with a cane. but who owned it. it was acquired by a shell company based in panama international arts center whose registration document is seen here. its rightful owner is unnamed. and yet palmer refused to give up and finally discovered another lead to finding the true owners. over the years the work appeared in a number of catalogs. and every time alongside the name of one of the most prestigious galleries in the world the helena maud gallery in new york run by the daughter of the family patriarch we ran into at art basle.

james palmer decided to write to her. the new global economic war is unfolding in the realm of education the right to education as being supplanted by the right to access education low it's high education is becoming just another product that can be bought and sold but it's not just about education anymore it's also about running a business and what you're good most of the regime look good is also the kind of fellow they couldn't. want is the place of students in this business model before college i was more now i'm running stream or higher education the new global

economic war. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamping each dish. eighty five percent of the global wealth you want to the ultra rich state we've seen. percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember in one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only boom but. still.

well the lawyers for our client contacted. the hell. out of new york. and they were ignored. which is not right it's not proper so i think after about a month or so they wrote him again and again they were ignored and eventually there was a response and their response was essentially you are suing the wrong people you should be suing the international art center and we have nothing to do with that. james palmer was not taken in by her response. he filed a lawsuit against the health gallery in new york. but once again the lawyers denied the family were the owners of the painting.

here is their statement to the court in new york. international art center and nobody else not the head gallery nor david that bought the painting at an auction held at christie's. things stopped dead there until two thousand and fifteen and the leaking of the panama papers extraordinary. a document published by the journalists revealed that behind the panamanian company international art center was the renowned art dealer david. so he was a shareholder of the company that owns the painting despite his constant denials. the detective had scored a point. and now he just had to find out where he's seated man was in storage he had a bright idea maybe it was in the geneva freeport where the number of family kept

the major part of its collection. this was judiciary issued a search warrant for the storerooms in april two thousand and sixteen and discovered the holy grail the much sought after painting. it's hard to say if it was hidden or not but it was kept very discreetly in the freeport where there are no mad family are estimated to have of both three to four billion dollars worth of art or about four and a half thousand works of art in their little room in a freeport. painting claimed to have been looted was well and truly in the storeroom in the freeport a revelation that caused an uproar. the heirs of the antique dealer stettner have now filed a claim for the restitution of the painting we contacted the no months after several attempts they finally agreed to open up their store room at the geneva

freeport and to show us the painting in an exhibition room. we would never meet the art dealers themselves but they did accord us an exclusive uing of the painting a very solemn moment. the work was handled with great precaution it is estimated at about twenty million dollars today. the families with smaller would tell us their version of the story. is about their money. make a set that blew up a laugh i mean i'm at peace and on a. fact. international and tony is a on the economy going that's your nasty laugh i mean a mad. game.

to clear his clients even further blow or even raise. doubts that the painting ever belonged to the jewish antiques dealer staton or. it don't. and it was a bit. of unease. is extinct. what. the. in physically explicit. symbols i mean by. this. we had only a few minutes to film the painting. but as the handlers turned the work around we happened to film something on the back that we only noticed later this label from the one nine hundred thirty venice biennale.

the owner's name had been crudely erased. and it looks like that of stanton or. a clue to which the detective never had access and which could be crucial for the next stage of his investigation. the canadian detective is convinced the geneva freeport could be housing other works of dubious origin. well i think there's a high probability that many other paintings in the freeport were probably looted and probably rest there today that have not seen the light of day for many decades and i believe they're there and i think that it would be very interesting if the public were made aware or at least the art industry were made aware of what those paintings are so so that you know if the prosecutor's office is what's on it

for example were to provide. us with information on all those paintings we could pretty quickly tell them which ones restore pretty quickly. for the swiss art dealers lawyer there's no point in dreaming no one will know for years what's really stored in the freeport. me little as i am not happy. mean. so. are french customs investigator is of the same opinion even if he is on the other side of the fence. following a dumb also region if. you combine all of that i don't feel says we should know him on the beyond a softer you before. you do news aside the so. awful

i can. reproduce your it don't. give us a whole supper related for the actual southend diskette because in the discussion. in geneva the mood yani case hit the headlines. the freeport authorities quickly became concerned about bad publicity. so in june two thousand and sixteen they called an emergency press conference. all representatives of the main swiss media as were invited. to the viewers and then we got started. on the floor where the president of the geneva freeport and his general secretary. both men seemed self-conscious rejecting all responsibility regarding the supposed owner of the painting david no money. he said it still is doing.

the exact. a little. more of it shows a large group of us to this little blue book or a little bit over the last local students who live in the us is illegal in the us is. also got all slew of also where that visit is a notice they were that all. of us also. read up and it is this is us it restores. the fifty most yahoo. they also cause it also more it is more as far as d.j.'s soldiers go the distance or to destroy. but what other secrets are really hidden in the freeport. in switzerland some official authorities have become extremely concerned we managed to obtain this

report from the swiss federal audit office. it unequivocally denounces the opaqueness of the geneva freeport. irregularities regarding inventories and absence of traceability of merchandise. errors in stock accountancy and recurrent problems which occur during controls. our french customs officer includes laxity on the part of the swiss administrators that oversee business conducted in the freeport. point. is a nice house from purview order to mock you all. just took is risky saw the guns are in your memo called. lonely but you don't remember. or. need mom wash your skin saw it on sick but don't

let me complete toilet does trees leboeuf why. they don't keep their formality. make. in response to widespread criticism the recently appointed president of the geneva freeport a magistrate known for his integrity is supposedly fighting the good fight calling for much stricter regulations. for the. new schemes which. does the prison formula one can it's.

about. these two. men feel more. cautious and. this man is aware that there is still a long way to go. but having agreed to make concessions on its banking secrecy will switzerland also finally agree to open the doors of the world's biggest safe.

louis. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront a shouldn't let it be an arms race of his own often spearing dramatic development only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. price perceives news and fake prices you end up with a fake news sell here when you manipulation of markets and there if you have interest rates are zero and you can borrow money in zero percent and have an unlimited credit line and you can muscle prices around it well that creates fake

prices and then if you have robots reporting on fake prices on the financial media form stuff then the robots are going to report on the fake prices driven by the fake news created by robots and you have a virtual or a not so virtual cycle of fake news and fake prizes and then that people interpret that as reality. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all sun but there was one more question and by the way who's going to. coach. guys i know you on the us he's a huge star and the huge amount of pressure you have to the center of the beach but how would you and will solo a great game the great if you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get the ball going let's go.

alone. and i'm really happy to join the fall of two thousand and three in the world cup in russia meet this special one. needs to just say the reno theology team's latest edition to make up a bigger. palm oil is one of the most controversial products of all time it's a sold vegetable fat that's very cheap. twenty seventeen production grew to sixty three million times that rapid growth an international demand for cheap oil has led to the massive expansion of homo plantations which is the destruction of rain forest. get into these you know a lot more than ten million typed in as of unique rain forest has been destroyed and it's a process that just keeps going. good

politicians do something to. put themselves on the lawn. they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to be brits. that's a good way to be for us this is what the forecast for you in the morning can be good that i'm interested always in the waters of my. question. there's. a little too late to leave the end it didn't last i believe you started with a few for fools who said fine instead i think it's just that my life was when i left that i sounds like something smart because i'm not getting along and i love me.

a little still on the list but i believe we've got the book the slow. and. easy. to get a. good idea of the legal up sleeping pills he's looking at this and others like them and just look at the difficult moments. and these years i'm evil thoughts in there i don't. know how shame will. kill it it's going to be a mission from the. donald

trump visits in the u.s. state department for the first time to swear in former cia director mike bump a.o. and the countries that new top diplomat. so they're trying to bamboozle the entire world and i'm very glad that president drunker said well enough about israeli prime minister urges that the u.s. had to abandon the iran nuclear deal and accuses tehran of lying about a secret weapons program plus. may day of riots cause havoc in paris with activists smashing windows porch in cars and clashing with police over the french president's labor reforms.
