item for companies late last month we reported here that the harley davidson motorcycle company 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 key our 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 make down old i'm sure you're not a fan of waiting in line mcdonald's will unveil a new way for you to order your food the fast food company recently announced it will add 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 we'll 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 kiosk service and mobile ordering mcdonald's is hoping to install a kiosk and implement mobile ordering by the year two thousand and 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 immediate 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 mcdonald's will be delivering to people here in the u.s. competing with. and grown up and washington national banks arts he. president donald trump does his version of the 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 at. 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 r.t.s. alex heil of it 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 views views known early ahead of time before they even sit down at the table what can you tell us. well 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 are 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 u.s. and so as the e.u. and 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 a 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 is a great example cheesily when you 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 clearing house show. big huge which way you made such a big deal out of that but it looks like we're back on with north korea of the negotiations what's the latest big unveil a big deal looks like that's 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 controversy is 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 guys 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 can jump in 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 two reasons for this either he wants the people that are going to be there or support the trump edition of whatever side or be he's scared that when he's gone there might be a coup so he's got 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 pokémon quest and two new let's go games quest will feature a 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 functioning 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 higher 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 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. will catch you next time. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see of that. and what politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. more some want to be. actually going to be for us this is what the four three in the morning can't be

good that. interested always in the waters of the house. back to the ship and. see a good. mood and it is a new school this isn't the only. church secret indeed catholic priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this the do a graphic 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 know the highest ranks of the catholic church help conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that if that's not as the i intend then i think you learn how to use this data and. stuff. this. case both.

sanctions and energy supplies topped the agenda and we were putin visits vienna on his first foreign trip since starting his fourth term as president. america's ambassador to israel gives some less than diplomatic feedback to journalists covering the i.d.f. the use of extreme force against palestinian protesters in gaza. war of annihilation a damning new report from a leading rights group accuses the u.s. led coalition of potentially breaking international law said battle to liberate the

syrian city of from my so last year. coming live from moscow twenty four hours a day sees r t international my names you know neil welcome to the program the other mir putin has said russia will work to strengthen ties with austria in spite of e.u. sanctions on moscow he's currently in vienna his first international trip since starting his fourth term as president right because the of has been following the visit. it's been an incredibly busy hectic day for vladimir putin between all the talks negotiations conferences and press conferences they talked about a whole host of issues and themes that have worried russia and austria of course

one of them being sanctions we believe any politically motivated restrictions or protectionism these tools are is over and political issues are in the end useless in achieving the ultimate goal they're damaging for both sides and i think everyone's interest in lifting the sanctions russia are included we realize it is difficult for individual countries to voice and you know the reasons why however this doesn't stop us from developing ties with austria it can indeed be difficult to voice an independent position in europe on the sanctions against russia for a variety of reasons one of them being that the united states has kept up pressure in european states to keep the sanctions up another reason might be doing against the flow of europe has established position in the austrian chancellor himself said that as his country assumes chairmanship of the council of europe that he won't rebel and lift sanctions against russia but he did admit that these are tough times

in austria would do what it could to defuse the situation and he's being backed by other new european leaders my pin. very opening up to russia which has consolidated. which has consolidated its international role in various political crises in recent years. we will push for review sanctions. starting with those that received one issue russia and. another reason for this newfound eagerness to make up with russia could be the fraying relationship with the united states the unpredictability of donald trump washington has slapped new tariffs on european companies on european goods and that has incensed leaders all over the

continent so making up with russia could be not only of political but also financial sense take for example liquefied natural gas that. the united states has been thrusting on europe that doesn't make much financial sense says the austrian president. recently there's been some let's call it reproach on the part of some american politicians who suggest that the use to dependent on russian gas but the fact it's been overlooked is that american liquid gas if i'm not mistaken is two if not three times more expensive than russian gas so it makes little sense from a purely economic perspective to replace russian gas with american liquid gas to be blunt there shouldn't be any expectation of sanctions against russia being lifted any time soon overnight or in the foreseeable future but what we heard today as well in the weeks preceding this this meeting with these meetings is that the

currents in europe shifting. you know just tell me it's austrian freedom party m.p. your highness had neuroses that europe should be revaluated in its traditional partnerships and seeking to strengthen ties to the east. as well as structure do you know exactly what the game is the american game in europe and what is in the advantage of austria and what is the game stores to an interest they know that is in the know 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 non european power against russia is against their interest so that's what do you know the only question is now. far they will dare to

go what they will find in europe. as i traits continues over israel's use of lethal force against protesters in the u.s. is remaining on we've ring and its support for its middle eastern ally most recently washington's ambassador in jerusalem dish died some well less than diplomatic advice to journalists covering the rallies in which since march at least one hundred twenty palestinians have been killed. well the american ambassador to israel david friedman has attacked the media for what he says is failing to fairly cover the recent protests along the israel gaza border he said that when you have a situation of some forty thousand protesters storming the israeli border under the

cover of burning tires and with pistols a molotov cocktails that situation is unprecedented and he says that israel did the best it could and yet despite this ninety percent of media coverage was biased and critical against the israeli defense forces the american ambassador did however concede that some criticism against israel is legitimate now israel's position has always been to blame him us for the protests and the ensuing violence and this is a position that american officials have echoed a mosque terrorist backed by iran have incited attacks against israeli security forces and infrastructure and we understand that israel has a right to defend itself urged the members of the security council to exercise at least as much scrutiny of the actions of the hamas terrorist group as it does to israel's legitimate right of self-defense now despite the fact that american officials have come out in support of how the israeli army behaved in dealing with

those gaza protests there has been unprecedented criticism in the international community particularly by human rights groups you have for example human rights watch saying that the i.d.f. the hevia was a bloodbath you have the united nations saying that it was outrageous you have amnesty international saying to quote that there was a horrifying use of a lot of every mission against unarmed protesters now the latest figures we have from the gaza health ministry are that one hundred and nineteen people. we're killed in nine weeks of violence the situation on the ground is still tense and unfortunately we're bracing ourselves for those figures to climb. over journalist and filmmaker david sheen has been documenting the racial and religious tensions in the region for almost a decade he told us he believes the u.s. ambassador's comments are part of a concerted effort to deprive palestinians of rights surely he's saying you can't report on any massacre doesn't matter the death toll goes up into triple digits or

if there's medics or whatever journalists are being shot you can't report on any massacre unless you first frame it within a narrative that justifies it. you know this is ridiculous this whole trumpy an attack everything is fake news unless you declare the narrative as we see it and i think it's pretty clear that they're overwhelmingly demonstrating that the israeli government isn't just trying to defend itself but is actually trying to destroy any idea of palestinian nationalism any idea of the chance that there could be some levels some measure of equality. international has accused the u.s. led coalition of committing potential war crimes during last year's operation to liberate the syrian city of iraq from islamic state the humanitarian organizations say there is strong evidence that america and its partners used indiscriminate and

disproportionate force and that the impact was catastrophic more details not from unless the see a true. this international report dubbed war of the hill lation devastating tolls on civilians in iraq to syria is a very highly critical analysis of the airstrikes that were carried out by the u.s. led coalition that involved britain and france on the city of raka from june to october twenty seventeen in their fight against isis and this amnesty international report talks of decimated families and neighborhoods says that not enough was done to protect civilians and that some of the attacks resulted in violation of international humanitarian law and indeed talks of potential war crimes as a result of the these strikes the report finds that one hundreds of people died and thousands were injured despite the coalition saying they did everything they could to minimize casualties we did everything.
