there is only one in a million chance of a mistaken identity using the new software. as with many nations the philippines are moving towards clean energy but one problem exists for that country a reliance on coal that it's finding hard to shake r.t.l. its mahela bitch isn't trying to with more alex as always thank you coal seems to be sort of the addiction of fuel for a lot of folks but it's a dinosaur in many ways why are the philippines having trouble changing up the dirty fuel for something cleaner. over the philippines it's a big problem in the sense that this country's having a massive push forward to grow its economy and it just happens that whole of the coal is a part of its infrastructure obviously an older infrastructure but they need power to be able to push them forward here's a graph just to give you
1:05 am
a bit of an idea of what coal means to the philippines look at that is about forty five percent of the energy in the country comes from coli twenty five percent renewable some politicians are saying that this is a necessary evil to build infrastructure such as roads and airports etc but from the private sector also many people know that manila when you look at asia has more cranes up than any other city so they're building high rises more than anybody else in asia and the fact is i have a lot of ex-pat money coming in meaning that you know people from the philippines that left that are sending money back home from the states and from canada or elsewhere are investing so they are building quite rapidly the country is vast and it has a lot of potential that within the philippines there's a company called philippine solar they're sort of solar philippines and that company itself is saying you know what we need to build a new infrastructure and we could bring down costs for energy by forty percent so this is the problem is that the national cost to put those solar panels together
1:06 am
put that structure in there would cost obviously a lot of money but if we're talking about coal we often think pollution in the philippines that's something different as well it's so costly that in fact that the philippines the bills for people are higher than anywhere else when it comes to energy at least higher than in asia and what they talk about coal there seventy five percent of coal in the philippines is actually imported from australia and from indonesia and now recently that just this past march for the first time in thirty years the philippine government has raised taxes on coal and tariffs they were looking at about forty percent now or three four hundred percent of a raise that means that coal is getting more and more expensive in that country. and president a tard like him or not is one of those guys that does things and he does it hard core this is an example of that and he wants to clean up their environment. it's really interesting you say that you know they're importing you know all this call from australia and indonesia i mean you know they look at an island they they don't
1:07 am
have a lot of. fuels that they can burn there so i am interested in what they're doing for renewables he said i think it was maybe twenty five percent but that's actually higher than i thought it's not is it just solar that they're using for the renewables alex we're looking at geothermal we're looking at a different types of technology wind power sots of really big there's a lot of sunshine and you know if you really have to put pinpoint it down to what to target is doing look to the mat is playing hardball what island boruc now this is a tourist island i don't know if you've been there i was there in two thousand and ten two thousand and fifty a tourist island that's multiplied in the mount of tours that it come there to target has called it a cesspool so what do you do he shut it down and he's saying you have six months to clean up now this is the whole thing with just listen to these numbers when it comes to this island of bora that's just about four square miles and we're talking about a country that's made up of seven thousand three hundred islands and it's one third
1:08 am
of all there tourist go to this one four mile squared island which is absolutely incredible that's two million tourists a year and president atar day said shut her down shut her down thirty three water pipes that are illegal they found of their spewing all kinds of stuff into the water where people are bathing diesel fuels coming out of all their you know knees and whatever else that are transporting people around and said no more we're going to electrify the island we're going to make the roads wider and we're going to clean up our act and i just imagine it anywhere else in the world where you have a president saying that knowing the tourist dollars coming in and everybody seems to be on board with them that. that's the amazing thing we know that this guy is through the roof with ratings in its own country and he's doing some incredible stuff for the environment there moving forward the always interesting and informative r.t. correspondent alex mann hyla bitch thank you so much alex and.
1:09 am
we are less than a month away from the two year anniversary of the united kingdom leaving the european union breck's it today we thought it a good time to get an update it was june twenty second of twenty six team when the u.k.'s brecht's referendum was approved by voters by fifty one point nine percent which set the stage for the u.k. to formally leave the european union and last year was called article fifty of the treaty of the european union was formally invoked by the u.k. signaling that on march twentieth of next year twenty nineteen the u.k. will officially leave furthermore british prime minister theresa may made clear that she would not seek permanent membership in the european single market or the e.u. customs union since that time there have been myriad negotiations and back and forth related to trade between the e.u. and u.k. and immigration issues among many others the entire circumstances created many
1:10 am
challenges and here to bring us up to speed is a brit herself for which the founder and c.e.o. of strong mark hillary thank you so is a delight to have you here we really appreciate it so bring us up to date on where we stand are we still at march next year for them leaving and what are the set the table for great tieback thank you and yes just to make sure that i've jewels that isn't british and american but that we're very happy for that by the thank you very much but let's look at it i think we can look at it big picture to stop with i think we can look at a historical example if we look at the member the millennium bug whatever but it was panicking and of course the media there was lots of talk about that but everybody dealt with the. really well so well in fact and so much was fixed that when it actually came to that deadline there was no catastrophe there was no disaster so as to appoint any formal breaks that exit is still it's march to two thousand nine hundred so we still have almost an entire year to go there are many issues i think the specific ones are about which countries are reacting how and
1:11 am
which ones have already voiced their opinion that they are going to make it difficult like japan or open arms like canada is different by nation you know we've been following the sort of a tick tocks of some of the go she is in the u.k. keeps saying well we're going to go in and negotiate with individual members of the e.u. and they thought that. the e.u. official who sort of used to be the financial regulator guy so i know michel he he said no no no there's no individual to go she's no bilateral that no it's going to be or what will be twenty seven e.u. members right exactly because obviously i want to do a deal directly with germany and all markel wanted that too and the same thing with france and that was they put a stop to that i think also being smart about someone i hate sort of admit this but they were out forecast in the u.k. with regard to new zealand and australia you know the u.k. was trying to do a deal where it was true in new zealand and then jumped in and now they're going to
1:12 am
start negotiate a little saw that fast you see that's the advantage that they have and what it what it was was the anticipation that of course the u.k. would be able to turn to the commonwealth countries so that was an easy thing to anticipate india's being a little sticky also they've already imposed some high tariffs on scotch i think some of the things that are going to be positive though other theresa may has already said that definitely there will still be a lot of collaboration with regard to around science with regard to the investment in programs like horizon twenty twenty and erasmus there was those technological programs in conjunction with brussels i think that's very important in the u.k. you mentioned india you talked commonwealth countries. and you know obviously that's the big kahuna of the number three economy in the world and they are soon to exceed the whole u.k. economy too so you're ok but what about other commonwealth countries i mean there. the u.k. is not going to make good on all the trade with the e.u. because of like the falkland islands or something so what other commonwealth
1:13 am
countries might they look to well canada as i mentioned has been very open and definitely wants to have a great relationship with the u.k. post that and he though if you think about it only represents a nation although vost in terms of geography is really the economy's about the size of italy and spain combined so it's not knowledge and off to sort of say the deal of course the us i mean not not part of the commonwealth but an english speaking anglo nation but trump obviously wants a deal that is pro us and has lots of issues in england with regard that we don't really hear a lot about for example and they call it chlorinated chicken the way that chicken is produced in the united states and the chemicals that are involved and also the welfare of animals that's a big concern in the u.k. and the u.s. wanted to have those relaxed and that wasn't accepted by well under chlorinated chickens to. us we don't like those corny chickens said to me i'm actually a european body if you know this case two weeks later than an american body american body so american body is preserved for two weeks and an english body and
1:14 am
a european body to case immediately it's because of the preservatives and as my americans friends say yes. i don't know crazy what we do to food ok so let's talk about immigration that's a big one out there too so when you go to europe the europeans are just going from one country to another a lot of flourishing little winning number to us so how is that going to work there i mean that right now the e.u. is saying no you know just you just don't have regular access you're leaving. what's going to happen because they want to make it more difficult that's the issue i think what will happen happening in english at the moment is actually a little bit of a labor shortage particularly in around manufacturing and you. finding that sixteen percent of english companies now british companies are instituting programs to have older labor retained and that's going to be something that's going to be a saving grace very interesting is there anything we should be looking at in the next few months that could be a big stumbling block it seems like all these things we've talked about immigration
1:15 am
trade exciter they're working through them not necessarily easily but they're working through them or is there anything in the future as we look to march of twenty nineteen that could be a big stumbling block i think that's going to be the positive aspects of ai that's going to really help because of the awful intelligence that theresa may want to keep investing in will help with europe but the stumbling block to answer your question specific will probably be the irish border how are we going to solve the porous border from ireland and what's your shoe on that artificial intelligence theresa may wants to continue investment as a huge push in the public sector in england to make a vast amount of investment that so that will mean that will be positive that's a lot of investment across europe too because she wants to continue relationships with brussels i see so it's an economic thing work out or not intelligent out there or us borders but it affects immigration because so many of the obviously i'm smart talent is also coming from europe in terms of the ai industry super thank you for explaining that the word for richest c.e.o. of straw mark hillary you are the founder and c.e.o. thank you for being with us last night and to be here. and before we go p.f.

chang's the upscale chinese food restaurant is now moving to of all places china the arizona based company admits that its version of chinese food tastes much different than what chinese consumers are used to and so they market the restaurant located in shanghai as quote an american beast one thing is clear especially for those of us who have been to china the taste preferences between people of the united states and china are decisively different for example general tso's chicken a common american chinese menu item is essentially fried chicken maybe chlorinated fried chick. and with syrup or honey which is appealing to americans it's not something favorite however by the chinese in fact general so is known there is a chinese statesmen and military leader while most of p.f. chang's menu items in shanghai will be the same as those served in the u.s.
1:17 am
one addition to the chinese menu is a duck spring will roll which actually includes a relative some question if the taste will appeal to chinese consumers will chinese consumers really be all about cauliflower tempore or rick's northern style spare ribs or dynamite shrimp only time will tell but that's all the time we have for this time thank you for catching us you can also catch us on board the bus that direct t.v. channel three twenty one dish network channel two weighty or streaming twenty four seven on pluto t.v. the free t.v. app channel one thirty two or as always hit us up at youtube dot com slash boom bust r t c n x time.

1:21 am
skeptic coalition's plans for a new government. thanks for joining us on our to international and i know who you are today welcome to the program. now the british doctors who treated you here and screw up i'll say they initially thought the former russian spy and his daughter were suffering from overdoses and medics only realized days later that a nerve agent had been used i'm joined now by a lot of fish it's more like on the story so what exactly more do we know now how does it all up to the information we had before. well according to this documentary b.b.c. john were given access to the hospital and the medical staff who treated.
1:22 am
and his daughter yulia and during that program which was on tuesday evening on british television the doctors say that they were initially suspecting that it was an. overdose or some type of. illness and the thought of it being a nerve agent play didn't come to mind until it was mentioned that mr script was indeed a former russian spy with double agents and so it was then the protocols came into play to deal with a tux now there are those who have said that this has raised several questions relating from the program namely if those doctors initially didn't think it was a nerve agent attack and they didn't wear protective clothing or take protective measures none of them it appears poisoned or got sick as a result either that was some of the first questions raised also. perhaps none of
1:23 am
the or a difference of opinion amongst the doctors us to exactly and it should be not just how they got ill but how they were cured again not so clear exactly according to the documentary of what measures were taken in order to cure again mr script of the former spy and also his daughter. now russian chemical. one of the symptoms of opioid poisoning very different from those of nerve agent poisoning so different in fact that it would have been almost impossible to confuse the two and also pointing out that initial police response police reports didn't make any reference to weapons grade materials. but larger than the initial police report stated fergus cripple was swinging back and forth while seated on that bench and that he also raised his hands multiple times this description resembles
1:24 am
a drugs overdose and the initial version was that the script was suffering from fentanyl poisoning the first telltale signs of military grade substance poisoning or rapid pupil constriction spasms and a urine every incontinence all the symptoms are absent from the initial reports and photos. now it's interesting that the treatment for the nerve agent only began on the chews day yet they were taken into hospital two days before on the sunday and so two days without being treated for such a powerful weapons grade material yet the script managed to survive thankfully so again more questions raised then now of course moscow has been denying all along that it had anything to do with the attack on the script all family and also this whole period the last few months the russian embassy has been reaching out and trying to gain access to in particular usually
1:25 am
a script called who is of course a russian citizen and they have been denied that access now you to herself last week made her first appearance since the incident took place in early march and in the course of that the vice statement that she gave she did mention that she wished to return to russia one day and that she also appreciated the russian embassies attempts to reach out that she wasn't at that point anyway in need of her services so as far as unity is concerned at some point in the future she does want to return home but again for some watching that documentary aired on tuesday evening more questions than answers being put forward. on the latest news in the script saga thanks for giving us that update. two belgian police officers on a civilian have been killed in a shooting the city's police chief says his thoughts were specifically targeted.
1:26 am
this video appeared online soon after the incident it said to show the scene of the shooting all the attackers motives remain unclear terrorism has been named as a possible reason to the belgian prime minister the suspect was being monitored as a suspected extremist. as multi-ton. the gunman has been killed by police we understand that he got ahold of a weapon after disarming the two of the the two police officers that were killed the more it was so hard core i heard the two gunshots in a sort of person on the ground three meters away from me i saw the attacker running on my right to your woman hostage and going towards the school but what we're hearing from the interior minister of belgian jambon is the officers are trying to get to the bottom of the potential motive terrorism is just one of the scenarios
1:27 am
that they're looking at right now but when it comes to just who the perpetrator of this attack was we are starting to get more information from the local media there he's being reported to be a thirty six year old belgian man who had just been released from prison yesterday on on monday the twenty eighth but belgium is no stranger when it comes to terrorist attacks attacks in a similar vein to this one if we look back to just last year in august of twenty seventeen two soldiers were attacked by a man wielding a machete they were just wounded there were also other isis inspired or isis claimed attacks involving police officers in both october and orcus twenty sixteen and the thing is those soldiers and police they were in the most part on the streets and more visible because of the suicide bombing that took place on the twenty second of march twenty sixth enough those three suicide bombers that blew themselves up in both brussels as airports and on the brussels metro as well they
1:28 am
killed thirty two people three people have been killed two of them police officers one of them a passer by as a gunman opened fire at the attacker was killed at the scene shot dead by police officers. now a long running scandal over the monitoring of donald trump's election campaign has taken a new twist president claims he was spied on on the justice department is using the informant takes a closer look. there are many out there who would and do call into question donald trump's business promise but there's no denying the guy is a branding machine and his labels have a tendency to work like gangbusters mark you know little mark he's a lion ted and you know that's his name we can't have men rocket men sick puppy shooting rockets all over the place through kid hillary crazy bernie he's crazy is a bit but you know he does it when terms latest hash tag where the buzz word is
1:29 am
spreading like wildfire he came up with this one to remind anyone who follows his twitter which is everyone that the f.b.i. may have spied on his campaign through a confidential informant but that sounds all official and is definitely not scary or catchy q trump we now call it spygate you're calling it spygate adding a gate at the end makes it so much better doesn't it watergate deflate gate russia gate priceless and according to some anonymous sources that spoke with the a.p. terms choice of the word spy was not an accident he allegedly picked the term believing it to be more sinister and likely to be picked up by the media and if that's true boy was he right the revelations of the obama era political targeting grow more ominous by the day claims the f.b.i. may have been spying on his campaign he's kind of upset with me read an article in the new york times seems to feel that there was a mole or a spy in this campaign ok no surprise that fox picked up and ran with trump's
1:30 am
phrasing but seriously it's common knowledge that if a toddler is throwing a tantrum you simply don't give them the attention they clearly want the fake scandal the trump scripted for us in the media this week as a name one we're not going to repeat this morning and has tweets to go with it which i am not going to read because reading those tweets is what he wants us to do thi even enjoy get m.s.n. b.c. could have been a shining beacon of rationality for the rest of the media to look up to and not give trump exactly what he wanted but no. president trump has seized on this new branding effort to discredit us the discredit the russian investigators and i don't really know where to kid spygate and it just went on from there after running out of steam either supporting or contradicting trump claims little hint either way it still works for trump they want on spending air time distracting the semantics that play here we give you the great debate of informant first what's your reaction
