2:04 pm
a lawsuit from residents concerned about air quality compelled officials in the port city to include the diesel restrictions on the list of air quality remedies under the new policies diesel vehicles with out the latest so-called euro six mitigation technology name for the european emissions standard will not be allowed on two major roads while clean air advocate said the measure of went too far or too limited rather the limits did mark an important cultural milestone for germany to still technology is actually something and then it did germany and the country is therefore appeared reluctant to place limits on its own creation even as concern over diesel pollution is increased across europe. and argentina this week president morsi o. marci battled with the argentinean congress over his plans to impose austerity measures of part of a bid for help from the international monetary fund the i.m.f. on wednesday the argentinean senate voted thirty seven to thirty to pass a bill limiting the president's ability to raise some utility rates mr marson vote
2:05 pm
vetoed the bill which is economy minister claimed would add three billion dollars to this year's budget deficit the president seeking to impose austerity on argentine finances in order to please i.m.f. negotiators as he seeks a thirty billion dollar loan this week he unveiled a plan to cut the twenty eight hundred physical budget to two point seven percent of the g.d.p. the i.m.f. reportedly may demand an even more stringent limit of two point five percent as a condition of the loan. and the latest episode of the week's political drama in europe has resulted in the fall of one government and a second chance for another in spain prime minister maria rae hope of the conservative people's. party or p.p. was ousted as a parliamentary vote of no confidence after a long running corruption scandal involving bribes to politicians from the p.p. in exchange for public contracts in the first the prime minister is the first to be removed since spain became
2:06 pm
a parliamentary democracy in one nine hundred seventy seven and italy the president has approved a revised government slate from the alliance of the ouster five star movement and hard right lig president sergio vetoed the first slate because he said the proposed finance minister wanted to abandon the euro the controversy of trying to pick for the finance post was then moved to european affairs much apparently reluctant to be to wait a second time relented and the coalition's prime minister was sworn into office safdar noon and now we take a little economic tour of a few trouble spots to help guide us we are pleased to be joined by an eminent expert the co-director of the center for economic and policy research and the author of what's a book today mark failed what the experts got wrong about the global economy fed tacit mark weiss right mark thank you so much for being here i want to get to a couple other countries that but first of all what about what you think about that headline about italy well i think some of it's exaggerated i don't think there was
2:07 pm
a real threat even if that finance minister had been appointed and accepted that he's going to leave the euro and the the other thing that i think people don't understand is that this is the brief economic crisis that you had where the tell you the yield on the tell you two year bonds shot up and that's what put this on the front page of the new york times and all the business press as well. you know the head of the european central bank has control over that if he wants to he can do what he did back in july of two thousand and twelve just say we're going to do whatever it takes whatever whatever to say and that would be in the end of it so he was using that pressure and there are reports in the italian press that he actually spoke directly to the president and said that that finance minister was unacceptable so this is this is part of the problem there of course i mean this is why the populist made such a huge thing out of it say you know we get an election and the european authorities once again are telling us what to do regardless of how the voters vote so there's
2:08 pm
that fundamental conflict but the thing is it's so hard politically for any government to leave the euro they're all afraid to do it and you don't have popular support for it yet either and so i don't think you know the reason they reached this agreement partly is because people were saying that if they went to an election in july or september. which was the alternative if they couldn't reach agreement just now. then this would be a referendum on the euro i don't think that's true the you know italy might be better off leaving the euro but there's no there's not enough popular support for any politician to do that well i you know to some extent i could media gets all freaked out when somebody they don't expect to be elected gets elected not to happen certainly italy let's move across the ocean and go to our argentina when the president was elected there back in two thousand and fifteen. international investors said let's put some money in there that's why these hundred year bonds
2:09 pm
that's not worked out so well the economy is in a shambles as we just reported. the total shambles but not doing great the investors are going make their money and the government is trying to get this big loan from the i.m.f. what's going on well the one hundred one hundred year bond you mentioned that was an act of real hubris i mean you know you can't hold a hundred year bond to maturity so what happens as soon as the trouble hit the price of those bonds fall and those investors take a loss but i think you know in terms of the overall picture the government borrowed went on a foreign borrowing spree and that's the big thing you know if you borrow domestically that's you have your own currency but when you borrow foreign and you run a current account deficit which they have about thirty one billion dollars which is about fifty three percent of their export earnings so that's like a trip it's mostly trade current account deficit and they and then they they increase their foreign debt from like sixty three to one hundred eleven billion in
2:10 pm
the short time that he's been in office and that's a certain point the foreign financial institutions they were buying the short term debt just said they just said no we're not going to buy this that was around may first and then you got this crisis and the government jacked up interest rates to forty percent to. keep them there and then they also wasted about ten billion dollars trying to keep the peso from falling so there are really mismanaging everywhere and the kicker is to bring in the i.m.f. you've got seventy five percent of the country in the latest polls they don't want the i.m.f. they have something like our great depression from one thousand nine hundred eight to two thousand and two where the poverty rate went for scared as heck to go back to that yeah they really are a let me let me just switch i just got a couple of minutes left brazil big truckers strike their people out in the street protesting high energy costs what's going on well there i mean there's
2:11 pm
a lot going on in brazil i think that part of it is certainly made things worse for they come in they settled with the truckers and so they're going to compensate them for the losses are there some other union officials or say they may strike yeah there will there was there was the truckers and then there was the threat all right there as well of a strike but i think the government is in trouble in so many ways i mean first of all they put the most popular politician in prison right now. evidence that was really i mean to say it's weak is really an understatement they didn't really have any material evidence against him it was all based on the testimony of a plea bargain witness who was threatened and who was you know the plea bargain negotiators were cut off until he said what they wanted to say this is a little of the silverado who left office with eighty seven percent approval and he's in the polls he would win the presidential election in october so nearly half
2:12 pm
the country thinks this is illegitimate and he's being railroaded by the media and the and the in a very partisan politicized judiciary that's a real problem they're going to have because they're it's not clear that that election is going to be seen as legitimate and then you have this very weak economic recovery which now the for the economists are lowering their forecasts for after they had a very deep recession done. well digit unemployment and so this is again another example of a right wing government that is unpopular for so many reasons but they're also messing up the economic policy in ways that will make them even less capable of winning an election in the fall mark weisbrot boy what great information i hope you come back we could dig into this a lot deeper we need to we need to spend more time on it thank you so much for being here thank you for appreciate it.
2:13 pm
and before we go in true but unfortunately troublesome form this morning president trump tweeted the news about the jobs report ahead of the official release and some say it may have violated federal regulations prohibiting government officials from disclosure in advance of the official release and let me be clear goodbye novus it is a violation of the office of management and budget systems to call policy directive number three i dealt with this sort of thing for many years in government and they lock these types of numbers down there and secured rooms and the reason is a pretty simple they're super sensitive and the release can and do impact markets and here's what occurred today everyone was waiting for the release which takes place at eight thirty am eastern time but the president tweets at seven twenty one writing looking forward to seeing the employment numbers at eight thirty this morning and as predictable as the sun rising in the east the bond markets reacted
2:14 pm
and yields on the ten years increased by just over a percent it is a percent to big move nope but there were winners and losers people lost and won money and the president violated the law and as a guy who worked in government for thirty years that was my career i mean it always upset me that when a fellow government colleague did something stupid much less violated the law but what is even more disconcerting in this is tence and also true to form is that the president's press secretary sarah huckabee sanders defended it by poorly tap dancing on the head of a pin get this to direct the directive which the president violated by just a typical policy directive number three says quote employees of the executive branch that's him he's the president shall not comment publicly on the data until at least one hour after the official release time and miss sanders says all. the president was allowed to tweet because he quote didn't put the numbers out but guys he did comment publicly on the data by tweeting that he was looking forward to the
2:15 pm
numbers and that traders know that the numbers were good right so his staff should simply insist sir step away from the numbers or don't let him have them in the first place and the inspector general the labor department should be right in there certainly looking at some of these security issues and what they call the lock downs of trail hold all these numbers i want to be positive on the president is good on things and doing good things for the country and there is some that we talk about on the program but jus slow with you shouldn't violate the law and he can't pardon himself. that's it for this time thanks for watching be sure to catch boom bust on you tube you tube dot com slash boom bust party will see that stuff.

2:17 pm
pools be the next to get the treatment that greece got from the troika the i.m.f. the e.c.b. the e.u. they gang up they destroy a country for profit it's a it's a smash and grab and greece was destroyed they had a referendum and then they didn't pay any attention to the referendum they didn't want the troika to run and look at happened agrees it turned it into a pit it turned into a shelter into garbage. now the same bankers are getting together because they need like a shark always something to destroy to eat so we were trying to figure out would easily be next and i think were the two likely candidates so i guess as we've been saying that for five years that this was coming and i guess doubt it will be the next meal for the time.
2:18 pm

2:21 pm
a father is only worth it. if you're watching this saturday afternoon it's four pm here in moscow. your weekend news from the national first the united states has a vetoed a u.n. resolution that called for the protection of palestinian civilians on the gaza border america's own resolution the blame the islamist militant group hamas for the violence failed to get any support of the u.n. . the draft has been submitted on behalf of arab nations the terrorist group hamas but they are its primary responsibility the revolution of mentioned. five times yet you couldn't bring. your third dimension hamas even once. don't you know how to spell it all those against.
2:22 pm
final outcome of today's vote is extremely disappointing but unfortunately not surprising that secession is another missed opportunity for this council we are offering a separate resolution the text as proposed does not reflect a balanced and impartial approach to the israeli palestinian conflict it is hamas that has incited violent acts we regret that the american text does not adequately reference israel's responsibilities and obligations with regard to guns the majority of those killed by israeli defense forces in recent weeks were members of the hamas terrorist group will who's responsible for gaza have been blockaded by air and sea people either al it is a mosque that has attacked the very humanitarian access points into gaza but those in favor of please raise their hand.
2:23 pm
now this comes after months and you don't rest on the israeli gaza border on friday a palestinian volunteer nurse was killed and at least one hundred protesters were injured. tensions are running high where the policy of protesters who are very close to the front in the israeli forces acting back yard shooting randomly shooting around the middle of the pond there's. going to be. more tear gas being fired and cousin protesters as you see. tear gas is literally fitting the place but also targeting the palestinian prime minister and here's another injury that was just right now from that near the fence or injuries are coming injuries after injuries and most of the injuries today are actually in that right leg that's how we saw more than fifteen injuries in the right leg that is
2:24 pm
already snipers continue to target the palestinians with live ammunition and as you see at that time i think are ready to take every injury that arrives thousands of palestinians continue to participate in the great march of return for more than ten weeks now the palestinians are holding one message to the world that they have the right to demand that they have the right to protest. as for the israeli defense forces they say they were operating lawfully and in self-defense throughout the unrest israel said that it is defending its borders accusing how mass which they see as terrorists of using the protests as a cover to attack. since the start of the protests called the march of return two months ago at least one hundred sixteen palestinian protesters have been killed by i.d.f. soldiers at the border according to the international red cross that thirteen thousand palestinians have been injured more than three thousand wounded by live ammunition and the organization is now boosting its medical assistance program in the area
2:25 pm
here's what it boils down to its initiative that's going to cost just over three five million dollars over the next six months alone and that includes two surgical teams and they're expected to conduct some two thousand operations also also a fifty bed surgical unit as well as additional paramedics and supplies will be put in place here's how the red cross describes the humanitarian situation in gaza right now. the hospital or simply cannot grasp or deal with a bigger influx of violence. if we see the same amount of wounded arriving in your speed doors as what we saw on the fourteenth of may and would simply have hundreds of patients leading to death is a parking lot. i. tens of have already lost some of their limbs and became amputees and follows an arms have been wounded
2:26 pm
including several thousands by life an issue and that's something that is overwhelming for any help system in the world the axillary deterioration of the humanitarian situation has affected all speed tours. all came from structures so the capacity of the system to cope with this if we were doing for x. is extremely limited and this is why the i.c.r.c. he says well. its capacity to whence where we've as a medical kit needs you're in gaza. i. you know when you are you know. legs of palestinian red cross and a speedo and in thirty minutes eighty were been wounded arrive when you're in chief and in eight hours five hundred cases arrive this is something that is absolutely unmanageable in most schools in paris and new york but even more in gaz are which
2:27 pm
is already civilly weakened and butter of the place a very difficult humanitarian situation that prevails industry. i. humanitarian assistance is very nice and this is why we decided to act even more but on top of that absent of geopolitical really even decisions the situation will only worsen and worsen. doesn't know he's working on the head of a cliff. donald trump has reaffirmed his commitment to meet with the leader of north korea for a peace summit in a couple of weeks time that's after the american president revealed to journalists that he'd received a very nice letter from kim jong un the thing is it's not clear whether trump actually read it or not. the letter was given to me by him you know and that letter
2:28 pm
was. the notice letter or would you like to see what was in that letter. with how much how much how much but it was a very interesting letter and i haven't seen the letter purposely didn't know. i haven't opened i don't know put it in front of the director. whatever's in it the letter was passed to trump by a former north korean intelligence chief who was part of the pyongyang delegation in the united states talks between america and north korea for the twelfth of june in singapore the meeting was called off by trump due to what he called open hostility but he has her own take on what's going on it looks like something kim may have thought. possibly maybe in case you missed that feel good story of. donald trump. there are you also rachel i think justin and selena. just as i try to
2:29 pm
argue that these are the two men with that. big date june twelfth but trump pulls it off saying that a friend told him that he heard from someone else that saying mean things about the u.s. vice president or something like that what was particularly annoying for cameras that just the day before i want to see tell you let me stop. what he said it was actually that. he doesn't feel somehow if a few days later. i truly believe. rear has brilliant potential and will be a great economic and financial nation one day sure knows how to. get. there why do these two just get together top teasing our. trunk of once north korea to commit to getting rid of everything that we know mel is wrong with the only other one came to learn will be mindful of the fact that libya's number one colonel
2:30 pm
gadhafi agreed to do just that but a few years later was dragged from the drain and sure so you can see the argument for keeping it cheap a little detour and you know. that's a common donald give the boy a chance to grow up amounts to the. bully. good idea in case you missed it trump and kim aren't going to meet the north korean leader says washington will be in the fire of a thousand star case you missed it and kim finally agreed to meet they've officially booked a romantic suite at singapore's raffles hotel case you missed it trungpa has stormed out of a summit with the north korean leader it's reported he misunderstood the briefing telling him he'd be meeting someone called kim in the singapore hotel. well that's the u.s. north korean summit was being debated kim jong un what with russia's foreign minister reacting to news of that meeting trump initially said that he didn't like it birdie how did that he was willing to change his.
