float close. 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 guarded 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 weeks stay tuned. 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. 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 a bit of an idea of what coal means to the philippines look at that is about forty
2:05 pm
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 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 debt by forty percent so this is the problem is that the national cost to put those solar panels together
2:06 pm
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 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
2:07 pm
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 is not some 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 do it look like the matt 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
2:08 pm
of all their 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 there 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 electrify that 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 something credible stuff for the environment there moving forward the always interesting and informative r.t. correspondents alex mile of it thank you so much alex think.
2:09 pm
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
2:10 pm
challenges and here to bring us up to speed is a brit herself terribly for which the founder and c.e.o. of straw mark hillary thank you so it 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 iced tea back thank you and yes just to make sure now 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 big picture to stop with i think we can look at a historical example if we look at the member of the millennium bug what everybody of us panicking and of course the media there was lots of talk about that but everybody dealt with it. 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 at x. it 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
2:11 pm
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 gauche asians in the u.k. keep saying well we're going to go in and negotiate with individual members of the e.u. and i thought that. the official who sort of used to be the financial regulator guy so i know michelle. 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 members right exactly because obviously i want to do a deal directly with germany and canonical wanted that too and the same thing with france and that was they put a stop to that i think also been smart about someone i hate sort of missed this but they were out forecast in the u.k. with regard to new zealand australia so the u.k. was trying to do a deal where it was really a new zealand and then jumped in and now they're going to start negotiations and
2:12 pm
they can solve it faster 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. technological programs in conjunction with brussels i think that's very important in the u.k. you mentioned india you talked commonwealth countries in. and you know obviously that's the big kahuna the number three economy in the world and they get this they're 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
2:13 pm
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 to. us 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
2:14 pm
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 the 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
2:15 pm
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 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 probably 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 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 i don't know telegin help 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 you were afforded to see your stroll 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.

hello welcome good afternoon it's just gone four pm here in moscow you're watching international now the doctors who treated the x. russian spies powell and his daughter following their poisoning in the british cities sold spree in march of appeared in a new b.b.c. documentary and says it has been looking into the newly revealed. this is a b.b.c. newsnight program documentary has certainly highlighted some more curiosities about the whole script all saga adding just a little bit more mystery to this whole story if you didn't have enough already now this is a firsthand account of the medical staff doctors and nurses that were treating this compiles when they were admitted to hospital in solsbury following the poisoning and for starters some of the things described in this documentary were that initially it was assumed that the script all had experienced an opiate overdose and there were no extra precautions taken in that regard there was no indication of the fact that it was. and therefore we take normal protection when any
2:22 pm
patient comes in which has no point taken any extra precautions in terms of protecting ourselves the screwballs were found on a park bench back in march on march fourth on a sunday they were taken to hospital then by tuesday police officer nick bailey was admitted into the hospital and then only after it was that based off of red flagging from a scientific lab porton down that it was revealed that a nerve agent had been used and despite all this and all the talk of the harm that this nerve agent potentially being what it is could cause those who poles were sort of miraculously cured and this is something that a doctor in this documentary described as well that it came as a surprise how quickly they had recovered meanwhile russian chemical expert that we spoke to said that the symptoms associated with an opioid over. dose would be very
2:23 pm
different from those associated with a nerve agent poisoning which margin on the initial police report stated fergus grupo 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 screwballs was suffering from friend to little poisoning total signs of military groups substance poisoning or rapid pupil constriction spasms and you really incontinence all the symptoms are absent from the initial reports and photos well certainly lots of curious details and to this day it seems clear that there is still lots and lots of details in this whole case to be addressed well after the incident the u.k. russia of carrying out the attack saying that only moscow had the means and the motive as well as the track record russia though has repeatedly denied it had anything to do with the soulsby poisoning is said that other countries develop not

2:25 pm
was introduced in their bodies how they were exposed. in a surgeon believe was also exposed and look he actually contacted screwballs for just about several minutes and he was exposed but the personnel who dealt with scruples was not exposed well as mentioned the u.k. government accuses moscow of poisons could of powell and his daughter and in some surprisingly blunt terms the u.k. defense secretary once even told russia to shut up and go away. to pay tribute to the health service first started a lot of them are even though not on you regret using that kind of casual language the world your world united behind britain and one more time would you please answer the question we came together with our allies and we're not just absolutely sure that interview terminated because you won't answer the question good luck with the african elephant for project.

the budget commissioner has apologized amid a backlash over his recent remark that italy should take its key from the markets when deciding whether to vote for populists. but i don't that's my expectation is that the coming weeks will show that the markets government bonds and the economic development of italy could prove to be so drastic that this would be a possible signal for voters not to vote for populists and the left all right. well political uncertainty in italy has shocked financial markets worried about italy's possible exit from the euro however one of the leaders of italy's failed coalition notes no such measures were ever in their program. if the markets are worried italy could leave the euro that's because someone has been saying this government wants out of the euro despite that never having been our plan. when the euro skeptic coalition failed to form a government its leaders blamed pressure from the e.u.

2:29 pm
the financial markets regardless of which political party may be in power is. italy is a founding member of the european union that has contributed immensely to european integration the commission is ready to work with italy with responsibility and mutual respect it's really deserves respect as i said those elections in italy could come as soon as september and between now one polling day will show to be a lot of people keeping an eye on what comments are coming out of brussels with regards to which feet which direction it's really should proceed in the future. donald trump has appointed a new commander of u.s. and nato forces in afghanistan in two thousand and one shortly after the nine eleven attacks washington said it was intervening to get rid of terrorists there and has never left well left turn and general austin miller becomes the eighteenth commander in the seventeen year campaign despite the constant turnover of
