we can all middle of the room sick news. the american political soap opera widely known as russia gate appears to have no end well no evidence has been revealed to trump campaign colluded with russia there is mounting evidence the intelligence community or should i say the deep state monitored or even spied on trumped world. for manners sitting in a car when the phipps gets shot in the head. all four different versions of what happened one of them is on the death row there's no way he could have done it there's no possible way because the us did not shoot around a corner. welcome

back as we've reported on the program in the past the supreme the u.s. supreme court has ruled that state gambling on sports is now permitted it will certainly be big business but for some gambling is already big business and sports betting can be just another profitable product to their current offerings that's particularly the case related to native americans who have for thirty years already garnered an important revenue stream for their people but assistant providing support for everything from health care related services to education and job training native american tribes from california to connecticut and many many places in between are now maneuvering to ensure that they get their share of the tens of billions of dollars in projected sports betting revenues but the fight for who will win the sports betting battle will be contentious and will in large part be based

upon individual state agreements with native american tribe here's what we know where there's lots of money there's plenty of pronounce possibility of perverse actions that can contort fairness or be watching this space and we'll have more on it in the coming days and and weeks. h.s.b.c. the large global bank is moving forward with facial recognition for customers to twenty four countries including the u.s. u.k. and china which can log on to h.s.b.c. net just using their faces h.s.b.c. says the move will increase security and save customers time they also say that 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. it's mahela bitches and toronto 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. well with 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 a bit of an idea of what coal means to the philippines look at that as well forty five percent of the energy in the country comes from coal only 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 put that structure in there would cost obviously a lot of money but if we're talking about coal we also think pollution in the philippines is something different as well it's so costly that in fact as 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 for in didn't eat out 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 arrays and 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 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 that the mad is playing hardball one 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 of all there tourists 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

jeepneys and whatever else that are of transporting people around and said no more we're going to lecture five 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 think. we're 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 challenges and here to bring us up to speed is a brit herself terribly 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 i. thank you and yes just to make sure now i've dual citizen 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 it i think we can look at a historical example if we look at the number that millennium bug whatever but all of us panicking and of course the media there was lots of talk about that but everybody dealt with a. 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 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 goshi in the u.k. keep saying well they're going to go in and negotiate with individual members of

the e.u. 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 serve an e.u. members right exactly because obviously i want to do a deal directly with germany and call 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 missed 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 that was true in new zealand and then jumped in and now they're going to start negotiate a little slot it 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 our 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 there's the 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 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 is 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 u.s. and there's lots of issues in england with regard that we don't really hear a lot about for example on 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 chlorinated chickens . yes we don't like those corny chickens said to me i'm actually a european body and 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 a european body to case immediately it's because of the preservatives and as my americans friends say yes. no no no it's 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 to your 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 iran 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 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 artificial intelligence that theresa may want to keep investing in will help with europe but the stumbling got to answer your

question specific or property the irish border how are we going to solve the porous border from ireland and what's the issue that the artificial intelligence to some a wants to continue investment as a huge push in the public sector in england to make a vast amount of investment there 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 i don't know how to draw 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 they were to order to see your stroll mark hilary you are the founder and c.e.o. thank you for being with us last lovely 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. one addition to the chinese menu is a duck spring wall role which actually includes a relative ease some question if the taste will appeal to chinese consumers will chinese consumers really be all about cauliflower tempore are 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 a bus that directv 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. about your sudden passing i phone lee just learned you were yourself and taken your last bang term. care act right up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry. so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each pair.

but then my feeling started to change you talked about more like it was again still some more fun to a few those that didn't like to question are. they secretly promised to never be like you. said one does not need a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one quite different speech is now history no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its make. you never know what's around the corner never know what's in the pub even to walk into the news that excitement is that not knowing that's where the adrenalin rush comes from. coming in is

a move by definition and the extremes of all problems and. the violence is a part and it's that almost a schizophrenia gang culture where you can do all these things and behave like badly. they're born of people of course colorful all over the us both more so focused on the last. funniest man infirmed. war and good on hollis from the start. i would rather when the fire broke out i really did a poll down down went up with. the meaning of reason is that beast if you don't let me involves it's constantly evolving and. 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 crimes happen each

day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to the ultra rich the point six percent market sock thirty percent i just want to secure some with four hundred to five hundred three per circuit first check and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars a i indulged. but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one does. to miss the one and only. that. was. i.

was writing. a new british documentary reveals that doctors treating. his daughter thought they were dealing with a drug overdose and initially took no additional precautions. new expectations the u.s. nominates the eighteenth commander for the afghan war which has been running for seventeen years as you look at the fate of afghans who hope to donald trump would signal a new era for that country. welcome

to you this is. a b.b.c. documentary has revealed the testimonies of doctors that treated. his daughter following that poisoning in the british city of seoul. medics say that at first they didn't know they were dealing with with chemical nerve agent attack and they took no additional precautionary measures. takes a closer look. the b.b.c. had been given access to the hospital which treats the script father and his daughter yulia and spoke to some of the medical staff working there who treated them now that programme was aired on tuesday evening and during the course of the programme doctors interviewed revealed that initially they thought that the script als had been victims of opioid poisoning and that's what they were initially treated for now it's only after they were informed that mr script was indeed

a former spy that they began to believe that it could have been a targeted attack using nerve agents of some sorts now for some this is raised several questions namely if in the initial hours and days of that of the script has been taken in for treatment the doctors and nurses and the other medical staff weren't wearing protective clothing how come none of them also got poisoned which at the end of the day would have been the case had they been exposed to such. agents now of course there are different opinions offered by the doctors in the course of the program as to exactly what happened and still not yet clear how the script was cured or how they were treated in order to get over their illness now there are some especially russian chemical experts who points out that the symptoms

of opioid poisoning a very different to those of nerve agent poisoning in particular of such powerful weapons grade nerve agents or weapons grade chemical version of initial police report stated was swinging back and forth while seated on the bench and also raised his hands multiple times this description resembles a drugs overdose and the initial version was that the script. as was suffering from friend to little poisoning. signs of military grade substance poisoning or rapid pupil constriction spasms and if you really incontinence all the symptoms are absent from the initial reports and photos now again it's a merge that's only on the choose they did the script begin to receive treatment for those nerve agents of course not retract being identified as the chemical used in the attack but they were taken to hospital on the sunday so that's two whole

days they were victims of this what this great hugely powerful weapons grade material and they were treated and thankfully managed to survive so. that b.b.c. documentary aired there on tuesday evening raising more questions than answers let's recap what happened in salzburg the script files were found slumped on a park bench and taken to hospital on the fourth of march a sunday doctors say they didn't take any extra precautions because they thought the script hours were suffering from a suspected opioid overdose they changed tack when the police officer who had found them was also admitted to hospital two days later and the identity of the x. by it was revealed to them after the incident the u.k. claimed that russia was behind the attack saying that only russia had the means and the motive as well as a so-called track record in moscow has repeatedly denied it had any involvement and said other countries develop not to talk as well and noted that it had traded

script powell in a high profile spy swap and therefore had no reason whatsoever to go after him it also says the fact that it's being denied access to u.s. cripple a russian citizen is suspicious or later in the program we'll be getting a life reaction to the story. donald trump has appointed a new commander of u.s. and nato forces in afghanistan a u.s. led mission to help afghanistan get rid of terrorists started in two thousand and two shortly. after the nine eleven attack lieutenant general austin becomes the eighteenth commander of the seventeen year campaign that means the afghanistan mission has had a new come on to every year on average but the latest u.s. watchdog report says the campaign has brought little good to that country.

in afghanistan who hope that america's presence. of peace and stability have paid a heavy price. america tells the story. back in august twenty sixth an afghan man named his son after donald trump but that was before trump's top television for the white house now after being inspired by trump's business achievements outlined his books the afghan man hope that giving his son the same name would bring about the same sort of luck but we're very happy to name our child after the best politician and i hope he will become a politician like donald trump as well i gave my son this name to make him lucky

and i want to see him as smart and mindful as donald trump but that's backfired miserably the family was driven out of their hometown because his community took issue with the child's non muslim name now he's proportionately fled afghanistan after seeing the reaction to my son's name and also the taliban directed assassination of the man who awarded president trouble medal i don't feel safe this comes after the taliban assassinated one of the afghan men who minted a gold medal honoring the us president back in january cold in the b. and his friend a far hog barri raise money to produce a special gift for donald trump to thank the state department for toughened stance on pakistan we are suspending security assistance security assistance only to pakistan at this time in till the pakistani government takes decisive action against groups including the afghan taliban gombe was killed by the taliban that's according to a taliban spokesperson sadly appreciation for donald trump isn't exactly body armor

his friend who was involved in producing the medal for the bari now fears for his life and he blames that washington for failing to protect them. the americans are all friends and can help us in fact we would deceived because we thought the americans really appreciates all work and our intentions we thought the u.s. is a superpower and values friendship but it doesn't nearly seventeen years ago the u.s. invaded afghanistan to eradicate terrorism but after all these years to even those who still have trust in washington. seems that it can't be protected samir khan. washington d.c. . and more supposed evidence is being presented to show ties between trump and the kremlin the latest being the use of the witch hunt which has repeatedly been used to describe the probe into couche and on democratic congresswoman suggests this is a telltale crime and this kind of plans according to a top democrat in congress if you use the term which on to and you say it over and

over and over again which which are and which you may be a dupe of the kremlin listen to maxine waters talk about trump he's a lying about which but you notice he says which over and over again he has learned some of the russian tactics about how you you know deal with getting people to believe you you say it over and over again so repeating something over and over and over again is a russian thing that may not be the wisest thing for the democrats to say they've had the same song on repeat for roughly two years russians hacked into a lot of things the criminal clan russia was meddling in our election russia undermined hillary clinton told russian hacking operation these hacks have taken place by russians intelligence committee says that russia is behind this in some form its goal to do with russia and of course ian brown sugar rush is a russian so if trump invented the term which why did the democrats use that exact same term back in the one nine hundred ninety s.

when bill clinton's sex scandal was all over the headlines smells like a double standard to me speaking of double standards remember how the democrats pounded the podium against gina haskell the new cia chief there are two reasons that i oppose this nomination miss haskell support for torture and her willingness to destroy evidence of the cia's use of torture and i have serious concerns about. her confirmation and what kind of signal this lady is the real do i'm telling you we're here with everything we possibly could. answer didn't flinch at all well it turns out that while this controversial interrogation program was going on democrats in congress were getting briefings the entire time and did nothing about it and now after the dog and pony show at the hearings is over gina haskell is getting the job and why is gina haskell the new cia chief because two democrats voted for him intelligence committee looks poised to indorse president trump's pick to head the cia.
