pence continued to say that tax cuts are benefiting workers much of the evidence and recent reports and studies suggest that stock buybacks have been the main budgeted item for companies late last month we reported here that the harley davidson motorcycle company a named beneficiary of the tax cuts announced that it would be closing operations in kansas city with several of those jobs going to pennsylvania and some jobs being added in tarlac now other companies are making similar moves mcdonald's has recently decided to start placing kiosks in around a thousand stores each month they kiosk would allow customers to order their food directly from a machine and cutting out the need for a person to work on the register for a closer look at how mcdonald's is implementing the new technologies let's hand it over to our t. correspondent ashley banks. if you're a fan of mcdonald's i'm sure you're not a fan of waiting in line to make donal's will unveil a new way for you to order your food the fast food company recently announced it

will add self order chaos to one thousand of its stores every quarter some locations in the u.s. have already started doing so the setup is very similar to the way travelers check in at kiosks at airports around the world earlier this year the company announces experience of the future campaign which will allow the fast food giant to invest two point four billion dollars in creating improve customer service on top of adding kiosks mcdonald's will soon offer table service where customers will either order at the counter or kiosk customers will then take a seat and wait for their order to be brought to them serving as a means of convenience. mcdonald's c.e.o. steve easterbrook says they can order through mobile they can come curbside and will run it out as well as the existing traditional weights you can pay a different ways and customize your food in different ways i think we're trying to add more choice and variety the u.s. is a little behind when it comes to installing kiosk international markets like canada

australia and the u.k. are already fully integrate it with kiosks service and mobile ordering mcdonald's is hoping to install a kiosk and implement mobile ordering by the year twenty twenty the fast food giant says it's a looking to upgrade its restaurants in its top five markets where seventy five percent of the population lives within the remind us of a mcdonald's those countries include the u.s. france u.k. germany and canada many fear these are made it machines will impact the workforce however a recent m.s.n. poll shows americans prefer cashiers over automatic. so for now mcdonald's cashiers will continue to hold their position the food chain giant is a looking to adapt to ways in which people like to get their food so it may die. it will be delivering to people here in the u.s. competing with. a grown up and washington national a day our. president donald trump does his version of that old eagle song

and takes it to the limit one more time on tough trade talk and tariffs but u.s. allies are having none of it are and are making it loud and clear that the u.s. is not only harming a long standing relationship with all of them but is also destabilizing world trade artie's alex hi-lo that has the latest in toronto alex there is a g. seven meeting coming up in canada up there later this week and it looks like a number of the finance ministers are pretty hot on making their beaune views known early ahead of time before they even sit down at the table what can you tell us where there's a pre summit meeting going on right now in whistler british columbia that's where these finance chiefs are and they're making it loud and clear that they are not happy with the united states of america now that's not something that you usually see at the jesus a g. seven summit the member nations going after another one but this time around they're saying not only is the united states basically destabilizing the global

economy but it's also an affront to the alliance itself basically you know reducing its power making it look bad to the world so this is something that they're taking very seriously and obviously this comes right at the heels of the steel and aluminum tariffs that have been imposed on canada the e.u. and mexico so these countries are ready to fight back and that's what they're doing canada has announced its own tariffs against the us and so as a un mexico is talking about it too and you know what this is the bottom line here i mean this might be just a game to donald trump and it is the ministration but people are going to get hurt in all of this and it's not just going to be people outside of the united states tariffs or tariffs and that's taxation in a sense in your own country gets probably products from another country so you're looking at something like for example this or great example. cheesily we think about cheese wisconsin is a massive producer of cheese down fifty seven percent of wisconsin cheese exports go to mexico so if mexico is putting tariffs against cheese from wisconsin who's

going to get hurt here it's going to be farmers in wisconsin so this is the issue at hand right now we're seeing this back and forth and we know that donald trump i know we've talked about this before he really likes to push things to the limit and it's he seems that he's doing this there's a few days here that things still can work out but you know i didn't expect him to go far this far and i'm sure a lot of other people didn't either you know i didn't want to shift and it's not much of a shift because i want to talk about north korea on friday the president as people may have seen from the photo looks like he received the publisher's clearinghouse check with big huge on which he made such a big deal out of that but it looks like we're back on with north korea with the negotiations what's the latest big big deal looks like the way it works like july twelfth or sorry june twelfth in singapore is the date of the meeting this has been confirmed and there's a couple of things the controversies going on here first a they're asking how is kim jong un going to pay his bills for this hotel that

comes from such a poor nation and this is a luxury hotel in singapore where the guy's probably a billionaire we know that first of all but look the other organizations worldwide are taking a serious were actually looking at organizations a giving money to the effort to basically put kim jong un there and say nice cushy suite in singapore so that he makes that to this meeting and at the same time kim jong un there say three generals he's putting three new generals on top and he's changing some military people around to reasons for this either a he wants the people that are going to be there or support the trump addition to whatever side or be he's scared that when he's gone there might be a coup so he needs that people that are on his side r.t. correspondent allison heil of h. thank you as always alex thank you. finally let's talk then tendo and before you prove videogames contrary to all of

the documented research about the evils of video games and there's a lot of it and for good reason but don't toss all such games out all together research now shows that some video games have a positive effect not only on our brains but contrary to popular belief on our behavior towards others some researchers conclude that certain gaming increases the mass of gray matter in areas important for spatial orientation memory formation strategic thinking and fine motor skills when researchers let adults play nintendo super mario sixty four for thirty minutes a day for the two month study magnetic resonance imaging measured and compared with subjects which did not participate they found that more fun they had the participants playing the games the greater amount of grey matter was developed in the prefrontal frontal cortex and parts of the cerebellum the bottom line according to the study is that some brain regions can be trained through the use of video games and as if on cue nintendo is now offering three new pokie mind games the

company is releasing queston two new let's go games quest will feature small in game purchases called micro transactions watch out for those in game purchases a lot of micros can end up being a big macro the let's go games will cost more than sixty dollars per piece the company is hoping this will boost sales of their video game console then tendo switch which saw more than seventeen million units sold since march of last year with each one costing three hundred dollars apiece that's more than five point one billion dollars in sales even though some of the good news about positive brain function is now out there i guess when tendo says gotta catch a ball they must be about talking about taking your bank account one in ten to stocks. hard mark high watermark was back in two thousand and seven it's been on a fairly steady roll since two thousand and twelve and that's it for this time you can catch boom bust on direct t.v. channel three twenty one dish network channel two eighty or streaming twenty four

sorry suddenly i could 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 breath. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never again like it said one does not leave the funeral in the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one to. speak to because there are no other takers. claimed that mainstream media has met its maker . four man are sitting in a car when the fifth 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 do not shoot around a corner. is a. church secret indeed just like priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this the geographic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot where the previous standard is not the highest ranks of the catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that it has known as the i intend to include that it used to.

present potent heads to vienna on his first official trip since beginning his fourth term in office ahead of the visit a pretty animated interview with austrian t.v. . yes is just as casual but the. quickest way if you can take these precious. things you could do with the palaces and the business of his a couple of his i forgot. to see the. first series on the today. well coming up to new in this hour america's ambassador to israel give us a less than diplomatic feedback to journalists covering the violence on the israeli gaza border got a lot of comment coming up on that hopefully and the german chancellor is accused

of turning a blind eye to corruption in the country's refugee agency. did run the world this is art international live from age to moscow here with me kevin i we just turn one in the afternoon moscow time first that president putin is about to make his first international trip after a reelection imminently is expected in austria within the hour we think was due to meet chancellor sebastian kurtz senior correspondent laura garza explains the importance of this meet. there is a wind of change blowing through europe or perhaps just the breeze but on the eve of vladimir putin's visit here to vienna the austrian vice chancellor comes out and calls for and then the sanctions the sanctions have damaged our austrian

economy above all else and i've always warned against pushing russia into the arms of china is high time to end these painful sanctions and normalize political and economic relations with russia not exactly shocking not these days a lot of the austrian chancellor himself came out and called the u.s. and reliable in that regard making up with russia up might counterbalance things such as friends allies washington imposing tariffs on european goods a move that essentially began a trade war. so now we will also impose import tariffs this is basically stupid process the fact that we have to do this but we have to do it we will now impose tariffs on harley davidson motorcycles on levis blue jeans and borgen we can also do stupid we also have to be this stupid the logic here is that by normalizing relations with russia europe would be better able to deal with washington the idea

is that the united states would behave itself properly we also need russia to solve problems i mean we exclude russia from the g eight now the problem is that the u.s. is following a policy the other six do not want perhaps russia's return to the g. eight would be a counterbalance and allow for counter policy but politician say whatever suits them doesn't always translate into action it seldom does if anything and it's difficult to imagine a gargantuan and ponderous european machine changing tracks overnight or if you. to be difficult to imagine we have to reconnect if i'm not very happy about the state of. our differences. but. bashar. has to be brought to an us the relations are taken some pretty major

blows of late times decision to ditch the iran nuclear deal was slammed by european signatories and then there was that relocation of the us embassy in israel to jerusalem also cause a lot of consternation austrian freedom party m.p. your highness told us that russia and europe these days have more in common than they have of late. as well as do you know exactly what the game is the american game in europe and what is in the advantage of austria and what is against course to an interest they know this and in though we have no conflict of interest at all with russia europe has no conflict of interest at all is russia the only conflict is an american russian conflict and this is leverage through europe so everyone knows to steer clear from being used by a certain non european power against russia is against their interest so that's

what you know the only question is now. far they will dare to go what allies they will find in europe and of his visit to vienna president putin spoke to an austrian t.v. channel but interview was pretty animated the times that one point mr putin even to switch to german to try to get a word in. it's just a word in the various fifteen you go through to you know to move my to motor scooter or to tricia ticklish we're going to take a little scope of the boom that a little bit in your screen mitsu didn't work critique it seems like it's listen with you going from this crisis or from things a bit of when the president elect was amazed it was a couple of his i thought yes he's just a scoundrel but the home office he didn't. just go just because you know just so good he said being a i'm so very tired of the facts of it and i learned i mean how do you know. you sleep on the road somewhere futile with endings of the edge of a process where the tone of the interview putin did manage to touch on some

important topics like the north korea crisis he also gave a detailed reply to accusations of russian meddling in the u.s. presidential elections in twenty sixteen. pushes. and you just said that mr proposing is referred to as putin's chef and indeed that is his job he is a restaurant owner in st petersburg because in what do you really think that a person who is in the restaurant business even if this person has some hacking opportunities and owns a private firm in this field could use it to sway elections in the united states or european country could it be that the media and political standards in western countries have reached such a low level that a russian restaurant owner can sway voters in the european country or the united states isn't that ridiculous. there is such a person in the united states mr soros who interferes in affairs all over the world and i often hear from my american friends that america as

a state has nothing to do with his activities i mean there are rumors circulating now that mr soros is planning to make the euro highly volatile but experts are already discussing this if you ask the state department why he is doing this the state department will say that it has nothing to do with these activities rather it is mr soros private affair with us it is mr prager private affair with this is my answer are you satisfied with it will the court. there's a limit on it i do not even want to think about it it is a dreadful thought i think this road the road towards the denuclearization of north korea should be a two way road if the north korean leader is backing up his intentions with practical actions for example giving up new tests of ballistic missiles new nuclear tests then the other side should reciprocate in a tangible manner and in this connection i consider it counterproductive to

continue military activities military exercises and everything that is related to this i very much hope that the situation will move forward in a positive way. and you think you've seen it it is not our aim to divide anything or anybody in europe on the contrary we want to see a knighted and prosperous european union because the european union is our biggest trade and economic partner the more problems there are within the european union the greater the risks and uncertainties for us the mere fact that our trade with the european union countries has dropped by half from over four hundred billion to two hundred fifty billion speaks for itself why do we need to see a further drop why rock the european union in order to suffer further losses and incur costs or miss possible benefits from cooperation with the european union on the contrary we need to increase cooperation with the european union if we work at

all or work more intensively with some than with others and we proceed from purely pragmatic considerations. if you just said that there is proof accepted by everyone that assad used chemical weapons well not by everyone our experts think differently for example let's look at the alleged chemical attack in the city of dormer the reason given for missile strikes against syria look the syrian troops liberated that area but we immediately suggested to our partners that the o.p.c. w. commission go there it is a un unit the organization for prohibition of chemical weapons but instead of waiting one or two days and allowing the commission to work on the site a missile attack was launched on syria tell me please is this the best way to ensure the objective it t. of what happened there i do not think so i think it was an attempt to create

conditions that would make it impossible to investigate thoroughly that is what it was you. just said that there is proof that militants used chemical substances who punished them have they received any punishment did the coalition an attack them immediately i did not see anything like that because. israel borders praise for more protests tuesday palestinians are marking the fifty first anniversary of the six day war known to them as next a day or the day of setback some five thousand protesters have reportedly gathered along the border there and new in the south minute tell you about it comes amid heightened tension in the region and u.s. ambassador to israel saying some blessed and diplomatic advice for journalists covering the violence check this.
