8:31 am
were unbeaten in their last six qualify as with the last victory over new zealand is the team's first world cup since nineteen eighty two up against them is denmark whose manager has tossed them with snatching victory at any cost and for denmark is also the first world cup in over three decades and the upcoming match is a big deal for world cup co-host peter schmeichel whose son kasper will be playing today he checked out the surrounds stadium for ati.
8:32 am
welcome to the arena like so many of the other stadiums this is purposely built for the world cup dressing room team being that would be done with that. for the last time i was in russia and it's a play about two hundred years ago it certainly didn't look like this it's absolutely fantastic and i think in this see the goalkeepers for whatever team is playing it would be stacked and since denmark and my son play in the first game and uses just as you know i think this will be cast aside. i mean the museum in surrounds and the that's a permanent exhibition by a fellow called step and again he is an extraordinary out of the centerpiece of the whole exhibition is this. it's called moses was made from one.
8:33 am
piece of wood in modern must have been some tree but it's fantastic it is and so so many other of his pieces in here. i'm just about to go on stage now and speak to the defense of. because this is where i play for the first period this is where the world cup starts for me the most and i expect that all of you will from now on the support that my.
8:34 am
so as the big games draw closer we'll be joining our special studio in the heart of moscow work to stay tuned for world cup coverage throughout the day. russia may be hosting the world's biggest football event but in the run up to the tournament focused in the mainstream media seem to be less on sports or moral politics. when a boycott takes a closer look the world cup in russia has finally kicked off and in case you missed it some idiots still think all this is out. hundreds of years ago a pig gave up it and people started kicking it around and in the blink of an eye oh no soca was born men were being paid to find million dollars
8:35 am
a month to do it and coca-cola was sponsoring it every four years that the wild national pride is on the line and where there isn't money and a captive audience you'll also find politicians politicizing this today but to me a brief and been accused of using the tournament as a showcase and after spending a fortune a billion dollars on it it's a fair bet that he's looking for some decent p.r. to tell you what is a good job or stadiums are impressive because their russian team is. england has some of the most practiced well traditions of all ahead of the tournament the media spends a lot of its time criticizing the host nation using a range of informed them of the area that england fans travel to the whole nation and destroy a renovated city center or two. but in truth when to do this. time
8:36 am
around the british government. in a show of defiance over the russian spy and his daughters who were killed in. their leaders over france and germany say they probably will. but that could be because one of. us probably would have joined the boycott. america will be heard. and. even if. he were to make the u.n. security threats to his allies. politicizing. is pretty hard to beat as for the players. they've happily traveled to russia.
8:37 am
one person who was. about coming to russia for the world cup was foreign secretary . a bit of a change of softer suggesting a total boycott and even comparing the tournament to the olympics. i think it would be very difficult to see how we could i don't think he had to be to the world cup this july in the summer i think it would be very difficult to imagine that u.k. representation at that event could go in the normal way and we would certainly have to consider that yes i think the comparison with. this is right there something himself from the controversial remarks now says that england never planned to boycott. and an article for a british newspaper britain's chief diplomat also insisted that the u.k. and russia are not at all praising the quote friendship of both countries. believes
8:38 am
the world cup should have never been politicized in the first place. i thought it was a funny old school boris johnson seems to. be a hypocrite well he's got memory troubles he clearly was thinking about withdrawing the train it's absolute nonsense that is what it's coming out with at the moment i think it's a ridiculous came i wish they'd just drop it can we please for this month anyway get on and enjoy the football would appear that world should put on a good event the fans are enjoying themselves no problems boris johnson should keep his nose out and you will if england and should begin if they think i'm going to fall you know you boris johnson trees are my prince harry. prince william would attend the final this is a gesture politics are still to come on the program here when i see that trump administration has resumed funding of a controversial syria rescue group which i was received repeated allegations of
8:39 am
8:40 am
up and some people can't afford housing the way to fix the housing problem in the u.k. is to take away fractional reserve banking as property so that prices would come down to the level that is traditionally affordable by the average person in front. of you to join us today the u.s. department of justice has released a highly anticipated report on the f.b.i.'s activities during the twenty sixteen election focuses on former f.b.i. director james comey and his handling of the clinton e-mail investigation and it also reveals details of messages sent by a senior f.b.i. agent who went on to head the trump russia collusion probe but then was removed because of his texts james not ever going to become president right right
8:41 am
no no he won't we'll stop it apart from the report also sheds light on the relationship between the bureau and the media according to a received benefits from reporters in exchange for insider information. a closer look we now have the long awaited report from the inspector general michael horowitz on the u.s. justice department now the report shows a pretty clear record of collusion between mainstream media and the f.b.i. . we identified instances where f.b.i. employees improperly receive benefits from reports is including tickets to sporting events sings drinks and meals and admittance to nonpublic social events we will separate you reports and those investigations as the concluded now the report shows pretty extensive contact between the f.b.i. and reporters and furthermore it shows that agents were incentivized to provide inside information. we have profound concerns about the volume and extent of unal
8:42 am
through his media contacts by f.b.i. personnel the we have uncovered during our review seven reporters in direct contact with the f.b.i. over one hundred phone calls and you've got officials as high up as the assistant director taking time to hobnob with reporters if you read this report you would think that at this point leaking classified information is just not a big deal to the highest law enforcement agency in the land but the f.b.i. had no problem busting james wolf for doing it himself james wall former congressional aide was arrested for allegedly giving information to his girlfriend who was working at the new york times while he was a congressional aide now miss watkins says that the new york times never received any leaks from james wolf and wolf is now facing charges of lying to federal officials. mr wolfson let's conduct is a betrayal of the extraordinary public trust that had been placed on him what about when f.b.i. agents themselves are the ones providing
8:43 am
a steady trickle of information to the press they say it's not a big deal it's just simply a matter of a few bad apples. the report makes clear that we have got some work to do but let's also be clear in the scope of this report it's focused on a specific set of events back in twenty sixteen and a small number of f.b.i. employees connected to those events so what now well i guess another investigation and the possibility of punitive measures it would be shocking to me if the f.b.i. did not act on the inspector general's report and fire some of those officials who are singled out so many not just mistakes from top to bottom but corruption and if there aren't firings the public and its cynicism towards government and towards business as usual in washington will only deepen once again we see confirmation of the kind of collusion this really is collusion between the f.b.i.
8:44 am
and the mainstream journalistic class journalists simply act as megaphones for different government agencies and j. edgar hoover the founder and long time director of the f.b.i. very famously said that there is something addictive about a secret mainstream media in the united states would like you to believe it's completely independent and objective furthermore federal agents are supposed to be untouchable and not susceptible to any friendly favors but perhaps they just can't resist. are to see new york. the u.s. government has resumed funding for a syrian rescue group known as the white helmets the state department says it's releasing six point six million dollars and aid for quote the continuation of vita life saving operations three months ago the trump administration had decided to freeze funding for the rescue off or organization as a part of a broader program of cuts the statement also claims that the white helmets have
8:45 am
saved more than one hundred thousand lives in syria that's quite a series of controversies surrounding the group's its members have been caught on camera count. the i saw flag attending executions by terrorists and some of the alleged rescue videos have turned out to be fake white helmets only operate in the militant held areas of syria often in very close proximity to various terror groups and independent journalists when i severely told us that most of the claims about the rescue work i've never been verified i struggle to find any evidence. for the hundred thousand life saved and i would very much like to see with the millions that this group are being given by a number of nato member states some form of documentation some form of archiving some form of evidence that these a hundred thousand there is mounting evidence against this group the majority of it comes from syrian civilians in the areas
8:46 am
that i have and that's a nice aleppo nice to groucho i have not found one civilian to tell me that the white house on its rescue mist of aliens in fact i've heard the opposite i've heard it at the way home it's we're there to work as agents who are the terrorist groups and to help. when they're under attack by the syrian arab army and their allies. today marks the fifty fifth anniversary of valentino cove becoming the first woman in space a groundbreaking flight was carried out in a voss talk six spacecraft that lasted almost three days and the spacecraft orbit of earth forty eight times. remains the only woman ever to have been on a solo space mission and here she shares her memories about the flight. to. my heart flinched only when i spoke to my mother i was flying over to volker river my hometown river where i grew up and at this moment i was talking to my mother
8:47 am
that's when my voice started to tremble. to tell her confident words given that she became a widow with three children twenty six who were not allowed to say where we were heading would sign a non-disclosure agreement knew that i'd been approved for the national team in parachuting when she found out about my flight she just said you tricked me and i replied mother please forgive me john glenn flew for seventy seven years once i was told not to raise this issue because we'd lost guarin but i just wish to fly one more time and then i'll come down. thanks for sharing your saturday with us here on international weapons at about the top of the hour with more of your top worldwide headlines. there. never
8:48 am
was a. good. writer but. there . was. a whole household. yet but. i think. russia took a real blow to its sense of self during the yeltsin years i remember even six years ago when i first came here people kept apologizing to me for how terrible everything was that this wasn't like america and for people to be ashamed of their country was so different and now i don't really see that i see people are more proud of their country and i think putting his years stalin in particularly the great patriotic war in the victory there as a way to inspire nationalistic pride.
8:49 am
you know to form no i don't have what was the last time you went on the internet no i am not using these village is it safe to say. are you sure there's new research or is there a bit of all good maybe you should do the baby does it go through his foot is the. question we're going to do we thought. is it dead as part of that was a good. it all worked out it was. pretty risky. yes. being the boss form of where he was the member of the society. for you let's.
8:50 am
hope. it's the end of the week and this is true and bust broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. i'm partial to thank you very much for joining us for should be tuning in and coming up today the u.s. economy is gaining steam but not everyone agrees with that and is the future really so bright we'll talk with jeffrey small the president and founder of arbor
8:51 am
financial about the economy and interest rates coming up in just a few minutes and should you pay more to dispose of your trash if you throw more away artie's manila chan reports on the business absorb it and how recycling more doesn't necessarily mean less waste plus as comcast puts in a bid for fox alongside the disney bit what should we expect from the media merger war conservative commentator steve ballsbridge in line all of lionel's media will give us their take and as the u.s. golf open championship is underway we take a look at the business impact of golf with the founder and c.e.o. of stroll mark will record which all of that are some of the fairway but first we get some help u.s. president donald trump has imposed new tariffs on fifty billion dollars in chinese . imports and the chinese commerce ministry says that they will quote immediately introduce countermeasures of the same scale and strength and moments ago they have done so they are imposing a twenty five percent tariff on agriculture automobiles and aquatic products this
8:52 am
means specifically u.s. soybeans which are a key u.s. export so i being prices which based upon the recent tariff news have already been tumbling more than a dollar forty since late may or continuing to fall chinese officials have also said that all previous negotiating positions and preliminary agreements with the u.s. negotiators are now off the table in the latest episode of what has begun to resemble a trade themed reality show or perhaps the movie groundhog day administration officials detailed plans for terrorist on thirty four billion dollars worth of eight hundred eighteen different products to take effect on july six and sixteen billion dollars worth of two hundred eighty four other products that will take effect after a period of public consultation the trumpet ministration pulled the trigger after over a year of complaints and threats dashing the hopes of some observers me included who had hoped both sides might resolve or pause the dispute before tariffs were
8:53 am
imposed and chinese and u.s. officials have signaled that they are prepared to continue the international face off that could take a long time to play out as phil conners might predict it's going to be called it's going to be gray it's going to last the rest of your life let's hope not well much more on this early next week with archie trade expert alex mann hyla vich and china expert caleb mop and others. and there is big breaking news on the financial crime beat as citi group agreed to pay one hundred million dollars to forty two u.s. states attorneys general regarding the london interbank offered rate or liable for the forty two states attorneys general who bart charges against city allege the finance giant had made submissions of inaccurate information. into the live word process affectively manipulating or shifting the rate and concealing their true borrowing cost libraries an average of the interest rate that select banks expect to pay when borrowing from other banks overnight library is calculated in five
8:54 am
currencies and use worldwide as a reference point in setting many other interest rates shifts of libel or can therefore have enormous impact on everything that you borrow the scandal involving manipulation of live war began in april two thousand and eight and finds are related to the case now total over nine billion dollars. while the economic indicators for the u.s. economy are currently strong not all agree on the long term forecast christine legarde the international monetary fund managing director says while the clouds are getting darker every day over the entire global economy related to trade tensions the i.m.f. forecast the u.s. economic growth will not only slow this year as the impact of tax cuts fade but will be at a mere one point four percent pace by twenty twenty three that level is of course much lower than the trumpet ministration is forecast and with sustained economic growth of three percent within five years here to help us assess the economy in
8:55 am
light of the u.s. federal reserve's raising interest rate decision this week as jeffrey small the president and founder of arbor financial jeffrey thank you for being with us at the end of the week we sure appreciate it a lot of folks expected the interest rate increase but there was more news from the fed that they forecasted they're going to do several more interest rate hikes during the rest of the year what's your take. well they've increased the fed funds rate seven times since two thousand and fifteen and the economy is on fire right now i mean the government spending one hundred billion dollars a month more than it collects and there's hundreds of billions of dollars pouring back in the united states because of the trumping economy part yeah they have they have done a good job there's no there's no denying that the economy is pretty much on fire in a good way and balancing that at the fed has been they've done a good job overall with both chair yellen and now with j.p. paul with regard to interest rates jeffrey the consumer price index came out this week showing that it had the increase the past us in six years the fastest pace in
8:56 am
six years and overall u.s. retail sales were the best in the past six months how are consumers going to react to interest rate hikes in things like housing where we saw a new construction increases back in april and on other major purchases like automobiles or trucks well sure what we're going to see bart in the future here in the short term future we're going to see things like mortgages and credit cards and car loans actually start to have to charge more because interest rates are going up and so the kind of threat shield really for construction of new homes really is around six percent we see mortgage rates had six percent we kind of hit the wall today we're around four and a half percent on a thirty year mortgage and so right now which is kind of a pen prick to the average consumer's pocket as we saw yesterday consumerism is running rampant people are spending more than they have in years if you were advising maybe your customers or even your neighbors jeffrey they are thinking about buying a house within the next year would you say by now. i absolutely would say by now if
8:57 am
they're going to be in the house for five years or longer if they're if they're not going to be in the house for five years or longer than they really need to wait until the rate cycle peaks and see if actually the market starts to correct a little bit here over the next twelve to eighteen months very interesting and how do you think that this you heard my headline may be about all the trade in tariff or war talk going on do you think there's going to be an ultimate impact on the economy i guess it's a little bit too early to tell right now but what are your what are your thoughts we're really not seeing the effect of the trade war in the in the general economy yet it's going to be really a pen prick in the short term but we see the stock market starting to react and today the dow was down on the on the major market indexes more than any other ones and so i suspect that will occur were united states people will get hurt as the farmers because we export so much farming products to china that's really where the tariffs are going to be here for the in the short term until we see what happens in the long term and what do you think are some of the other economic indicators that
8:58 am
we should be looking at piece of the economy now and what you'll be looking at in the next few months that might be indicative of growth throughout the year well i think the stock market really has a has a really good idea what's going are good pulse on what will happen with the economy going forward if the market tends to drop out of dampen consumerism if the market keeps expanding that will increase consumerism and we'll keep increasing debt even though we seem to be having debt peaks at this point in time borrowed i mean yesterday we had a global debt figure of an all time record of two hundred and thirty seven trillion globally and a large amount of that is domestic debt as well and so we're coming to the end of the debt cycle so consumers want to be aware of potential debt bomb at some point in their future jeffrey we really appreciate you being here at the end of the week thank you so much you're always informative for our viewers jeffrey small president and founder of arbor financial thank you for being with us. thank you mark.
8:59 am
and archie's little a chair has looked at the business and future of garbage which is not only fascinating but some of it is quite disconcerting manila philis in all the bully busters on what you found is pretty amazing hey there weren't so i'm literally here to talk trash i know it's almost a path a proposition to to use that slogan to reduce recycle reuse as we all know from the eighty's but. it's the fact that the newly found middle class across brics nations as well as the middle class here in america we are now producing three times more trash than we did just a decade ago globally so you can see in this graph according to the e.p.a. the little triangles indicate that since one thousand nine hundred sixty americans have steadily increased how much trash each household throws out and the type of trash we're putting out looks something like this it's
9:00 am
a lot of paper products which could really be recycled but guess what it's not it's getting thrown out a lot of food waste could also be composted but again it's simply not and tons and tons of plastic the data is similar with other westernized countries like those in europe and australia globally we're putting out tens of millions of tons of trash every single day so according to the world bank by the year two thousand and twenty five it's going to cost nearly three hundred seventy five billion dollars annually to deal with that amount of trash so what's in store for us in the future for example right now in europe some municipalities are turning to desperate measures saying they'll just ban plastic cutlery from restaurants and stores etc no more straws so your takeaway meals will have to be consumed somehow that might be a boon for the wooden cutlery business maybe japan they create about one third less trash than the average american while living in similar g.d.p. levels per person but because their twit territory is significantly smaller than
9:01 am
the u.s. japanese municipalities use trash shaming as a means of prevention so your trash is only accepted for collection in clear bags so your neighbors can see if you're not doing your part in recycling or composting and things of that nature and here in north america google's parent company alphabet is looking into a high tech way to deal with the mounting rubbish sidewalk labs that's alphabet smart city are they're working on ways to monitor your. trash output smart trash cans might be a thing of the future at present most municipalities in the western world charge you and your neighbor the same trash collection fee for that universal sized bin that they provide every house however you might produce far less trash than your neighbor but guess what you're paying the same price for that collection in the future technology from folks that alphabet might help municipalities charge people by the pound of trash they produce and even for what kind of trash you're putting
9:02 am
in the bin so part smart trash bins that can perhaps scan what you drop in the privacy advocates find this a bit troubling but you know that's an argument for a different day they're calling this surveillance capitalism by way of rubbish but hey this may very well be the future of trash surveillance capitalism that i got you know i was it was funny i was throwing a little bit apartment and i was throwing with my grandson trash down the chute from the floor that is where does it go and so it goes to the center of the earth when it comes up as lava in hawaii now if that were the case that might be a good remedy that's not the case and i think too often you know we're stuck with ya figuring out is more lest you talk about recycling and if you recycled maybe that gives people a sense that you know it's ok that i'm have so much waste because i recycle that's not necessarily case that is actually a myth slogan be damned even though recycling efforts by us individuals have really
9:03 am
shot up over the past few decades it's even become hip it's a thing that you that everyone does now some top scientists are saying that this might even be the reason a lot of americans are producing more garbage because they're justifying their justifying the trash output because they're recycling now meanwhile packaging is getting more and more elaborate materials are getting cheaper so surprisingly recycling in many instances have been been not been able to really set the amount of trash we're putting out fantastic report thank you so much with oil. and time now for a quick break but hang here because when we return conservative commentator steve walz burgard y.o.y.o. media will give us their take on the new media landscape in light of the a t. and t. time warner deal being approved and comcast putting in a bid for twenty first century fox plus the founder and c.e.o. of general mark which helps us take a look at the business of golf as the u.s. open golf championship is underway and we go to break here the numbers at the
9:04 am
closing bell already arrows on the big board everything is down but when stocks notably ended their fourth straight day with turbulence taking a hit today on the trading tariff you will be right back. twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest kill people. but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. guys i know you on the us he's a huge star and a huge amount of pressure you have to be the center of the football would you. agree. you are the rock at the back nobody gets to you we need you to get the ball going let's go. alone.
9:05 am
and i'm really happy to join for the two thousand and ten world cup in russia this special one was also appreciated me to say the redo. the latest edition to make up as we go. look. welcome to max kaiser's financial survival guide. looking forward to your pension account. yonks this is what happens to pensions in britain delegates. watch has a report. i can imagine i don't know i wasn't there but i can imagine a russia defending its national interests in a way that doesn't help the hawks in the united states but couldn't has this image of such a hard guy. and i would only blame him for not caring about american public opinion anymore because it seems like no matter what he does there's an unfair response
9:06 am
none the less what i'm saying is it's got very personal. welcome back bad news from workers approaching retirement age and russia's president vladimir putin is officially propose raising the age of pension eligibility under the draft bill discussed in a cabinet meeting the age for men will rise from sixty to sixty five well women's will increase from fifty five to sixty three mr putin reportedly moved the proposal on the advice of a former finance minister who is said to have asked two years ago for an economic program to implement in his new term as president some experts agree that the move might be a unavoidable citing russia's aging population and workforce one estimate is that the change could save twenty seven billion dollars annually. and there is more

safety news this week in the ride hailing business as d.d. the chinese app will reboot its late night offering to prevent male drivers from picking up female passengers the changes being made after the media sensation earlier this year related to the murder of a female d.d. passenger initial response was to limit hours of operation from six am to ten pm today the company now added service from five to six am and ten pm to midnight but during those restored hours passengers will only be allowed to connect with drivers of the same gender only ten percent of davies driver. as are female leaving chinese women hoping to get home with d.d. with very little chance of getting a ride some critics say the change will now make women less safe when they are unable to get home late at night but the company will be protected from liability perhaps. and in u.s. regulatory news the top nation's lawmaker regarding regulation of financial
9:08 am
services the comptroller of the currency has affirmed that they believe housing and lending discrimination is real members of congress pressed the comptroller of the currency to clarify his views after he told two house members on wednesday that he had never quote personally observed lending discrimination though conceding quote many of my friends in the inner city across america would tell me that it exists on thursday the comptroller told a senate committee that disparate impact does exist the firming a regulatory term disparate impact that the obama administration coined to strengthen and forstmann of the nation's core lending discrimination law the community reinvestment act or c r a the o c c is responsible for enforcing c.r.a. . and as we reported yesterday in light of a t. and t. time warner is decision this week by a federal judge who ruled that the mega merger could go forward comcast has offered
9:09 am
a sixty five billion dollars deal all cash for twenty first century fox the bid set up a fight with the walt disney company which also seeks to acquire fox here to take it all on its conservative t.v. radio host steve malzberg and lionel lionel media thanks to both of you for being with us at the end of this week steve the media landscape is changing in a way we have never seen what does it mean for businesses and for consumers. well you know i think the decision in the time warner eighty and t.k. said the judge just summarily dismissed every single argument that the department of justice had and i think it speaks volumes we're in such an ever changing constantly changing media landscape that this that that particular merger and others that are might follow are really a battle for those companies to grow and survive not to monopolize i mean you could who really sits in front of the t.v. that much anymore you tube has a billion viewing hours a month you have facebook and google dominate two thirds of the on line advertising
9:10 am
you have programs that i never even heard of that people constantly say to me or just see this did you see that it's either on netflix or one of the other services so the idea that there could be a monopoly and people have to have to watch c.n.n. and h.b.o. and they're going to raise the prices on these poor people is ridiculous we don't even know where all this is going but the future is unlimited and it's constantly changing. line of what's your take on all of this. we're looking at something that cannot possibly be explained or emphasized enough we're going from the buggy whip to particle physics and were it not for this particular deal had judge leon said no had he said we are not going to in any way and by the way i never wrote dark times though i have lived it but here's the thing you would have never been able to go from one extreme to the other without this merger we're seeing something right
9:11 am
now it's all going to be streaming it's going to be streaming everything right now sticks and tennis all of that is going to go by the wayside and what a.t.t. represents are millions and millions of consumers that for example netflix and others go directly to cable what's that cue that cricket. this is beyond explication. and i'm not even in any way exaggerating on this well that may be why steve you know disney is also going after after fire and disney's c.e.o. robert iger has essentially we waged his future in winning that media war and and there might be somewhat of a corporate grudges as you know dating back to two thousand and four when comcast actually tried to acquire disney what do you make of that one steve well you know they came to kind of a tentative agreement from the reports of disney and fox and then comcast came in and comcast you know has lost and previous attempts in the past one of them you
9:12 am
alluded to so they really need a win here and i don't think they're going to stop but on the other hand as you correctly point out disney needs this content they need the movie studio for their future plans so it's going to be a battle royale going forward without without a doubt but i but you know it's going to be interesting to see what the department of justice does if want to when when one of these companies agrees with comcast because this is not a strictly vertical merger as a time warner this is more horizontal they both are competitors and they're both going to form again you know a bigger company again i hope it goes through whatever it is but i think the justice department definitely they might still appeal the eighteenth tee time warner but i think they'll definitely fight the comcast disney or the fox disney merger you know we had an attorney andre barlow who is a regular on the program and he was in the courtroom every single day on this and he's just said what you did steve that you know this is going to have to be real
9:13 am
litigator that it was really sort of a silo decision with regard to time warner in a t. and t. and i know how does the u.k. sky news figure into all of this that people want that one to. well i think this is a harbinger part of of what's happening around the world though their regulatory scheme is a little bit more interesting they're more content content sensitive you almost have to plead your case your your your viability and the propriety of your of your corporation that's by the way many people believe that fox news has believe it or not damped down some of its more outrageous aspects in order to comport with this but be not mistaken and i can't say this enough if you don't allow these mergers steve's absolutely correct this is horizontal it has to be because you have different components cable is not going to exist anymore that's going by the wayside phone companies going to be delivery systems content content is king think
9:14 am

there we go to talk the business of golf as the u.s. golf associations open championships started yesterday golfing sector stocks including elway has been doing gangbusters not only this year but last year as has the last five years in fact as has the a question a company the owner of title is golf but the business of golf is more than just about those companies and here to help us get in the details of the founder and c.e.o. of strong mark hillary ward which hillary first of all let's set the stage i mean thank you for being here as always yes that you're welcome ok so set the stage how did golf get so big ok so golf obviously started in scotland most people know though they say that it was probably because of the dutch the dutch would go there with the dutch had this sounds of ice hockey game and they called it kalf and that was many many years ago and it had a big surgeons in the us is what they called the big five and of course that was gary player i'm jack nicklaus on the you know obviously he was playing all that time with donald palmer and with lee trevino told once that it was huge that was
9:16 am
because of the advent of television it became this mass sport that even though everybody could afford to play it they all watched what out there affected television have when tiger woods came onto the stage it was two thousand and three and that's when golf industry had its big the now they talk about all these young guns there's a lot more interest one tiger is back although not at the moment in the u.s. open he's not even probably going to make the cot but it's the young guns as a lot of interest in jordan speed than index players those others jordan eberle and rory yes i think a lot of them they actually they grew up watching tiger they were inspired rory mcilroy. actually grew up an island of course with a lot of rain and lousy weather and he actually reportedly would chip go falls into the washing machine when his mother what was it wasn't washing things and she got very annoyed with all the clanking but this really rock and roll remark arroyo jordan speech and then ernie els as well o'neill's and phil mickelson had it all right. you know we've been there for a long enough rickie fowler when he was it would be a bronze as well yes and when i think of ricky i think of you know the promotion
9:17 am
here i mean i think rocket mortgage and i think farmers insurance co's are how do these folks yes so how do these folks make money other than just with a golf tournament ok so when it goes to once it's probably only about something like twenty eight thirty percent of their income they also make a lot of money not just from the winning but from licensing from the sponsorships that they have also from golf course design so there's lots of other aspects and just advice in the industry as well so what do you see is the future i mean should should we be people be investing in some of these golf starts is it going to be out there still is a good place to put money well that's been a debate recently they say with a grain of america the aging of our car there are more people who are tiring and technology has had a big impact on the game callaway has a lot of new products that are more dependable they hit it straight or they hit it father and of course things like all of the bush net all of the gulf equipment and technology around tracking the ball and sing with the g.p.s. in rio you know absolutely yes before we go and i'm glad we finish with this is
9:18 am
stead of tar start with that you mentioned tiger and yes you know he triple bogey the first hole every time and you know what it is magic championships everybody talks about is going to make it what's he going to do for golf but golf doing very well without him i mean i know that viewership increases right yet but i'm still doing ok you're totally right bought it increases by about fifty three percent and if he's there in the final day the rating saw over fifty percent but i think it's these young guns we just mentioned and some of them but you mentioned ricky fowler he's very good with social media they all are they're all tweeting now they're on instagram so they've got this young generation. generation interested in them as people and that's a lot different and i think that's what's generating a lot of the interest and then you say you have this combination of the graying of america the young guns which is given some energy to the industry who are forward which the c.e.o. and founder of straw mark thank you we really appreciate it work about take care. and that wraps it up for this time the end of our eighteen hole for the we couldn't

9:23 am
it is a day three of football's biggest event the fifo world cup with full matches taking place on saturday in cities across russia. last night's clash between spain and portugal turned out to be a real classic six goals were scored resulting in a draw meaning both teams take away one point in group b. portugal's cristiana. trick while spain's diego costa managed to get two into a goal. who once coached ronaldo gave his post match analysis.
9:24 am
j.s a i love that max is unusual i wasn't as a political fan in the very first minutes here we are renowned with the panel saying. he didn't look like he was going to me still a very confident. he made a decision before. you go i even if that be the course of those two that side no chance the ball is fast passes and not long after diego costa was causing all sorts of problems was nice and big man put himself about the picture has five portuguese years the portuguese a goalkeeper india will cost double crossed the score in the middle of five red shirts now there again to see. you know is a bad is a bad mistake is a goal we. face so they don't win in fast time and i thought certainly looking at
9:25 am
this game you could tell there's a lot at stake a lot of pride at stake you can sense it was rivalry between these two teams and when they came back out of course it wasn't long before we got another goal i think was an equaliser there for him at the cost. of not possible because. sometimes. sometimes the managers we feel a little bit like to be treated by players the season is on the beach sometimes in the heat they're not able to sing. and sometimes that is a little bit of luck of leadership on the beach because sometimes we are not able to communicate to the second i'll start you have to go slowly do you have the will to try to create emotional problems with a team that is losing two one and you give them the chance to get into the game with a battle that made it say to you and then they went ahead with the right strike and and this unstoppable unstoppable. you think he knows that this was how he
9:26 am
doesn't need to see the ball in the internet to know that this is for the fly of the ball is beautiful it's the ball with you used to call the three fingers which is the external part of of the food no chance for the keeper because of all gives an impossible fly for for him and was when. the free kick situation arrived intelligent experience christiana looking for that for that's tricky you know a position that he loves what to play i mean from the first minute until the last minute you always felt he was the man on the totally just just looking at his face you can sense that he's the one out there that my changing and this is. what i used to call. the feeling of the game. the specific intelligence of playing football i saw in train free kicks for hours after training sessions asking one of my assistants put me the wall stay with me
9:27 am
give me balls. and he was looking for that he put the freak the ball down and i felt like i was looking at him for about an hour. is running into history is not the best on free kicks but this one is a critical one this one is is a crucial point what can affect the self-esteem the self-confidence the way to approach the next two to match is the rivalry what it means for the portuguese people that is at home. and it has these little. these little touch does a little extra a feeling of final for a kick in the dying minutes. top corner jokes and talk on lots of factors in the game but for me the most important factor is. the psychological relation. take the ball the wall and the ball and in the last minute.
9:28 am
recall one point perfectly and that was practically the last week of the game i mean he knew that was the last chance you'll have to new york he's going to be the happier if it's a teams here of course play to have. a different feeling which is a feeling that has three points in the pockets and two of them to fly just in the end but overall i think both teams are happy to know that the point is a good point then all that week five points they both qualify now they can relax a bit more now they can trip for the next two matches with a different feeling friday also saw iran take on morocco excited fans cheering morocco's first world cup in twenty years but it was the iranians who have more to celebrate after they were gifted a win by a moroccan golden eye the iranian president hassan rouhani posted this picture on social media of him enjoying the game. so the atmosphere here in
9:29 am
russia is just wild fans from across the world filling the city's streets the capitals turned into a sea of color supporters waving flags and singing national chants all the way from dusk until dawn. oh. i was at. a group a comedy looks as follows russia and europe wide top the table with three points egypt and saudi arabia have yet to make a mark in time in group b. iran lead a to go way back some points off the back of morocco thanks to an own goal in
9:30 am
stoppage time with portugal and spain having beat. so i saw today day three all for the world cup will see four matches being played it will be the first game in this tournament for one of the most celebrated players in the game you know strike a line on that. take on iceland who are making their world cup debut nigeria's super eagles will face croatia the champ richard ricci's the westernmost post city all. one of the favorites will be facing australia in group c. also in that group peru played denmark and the stakes are high for both teams as neither of them has lost in the last eight. so the o two will clash at the mordovia arena in surrounds consentual russia at the stadium was built specially for the twenty eighteen feet world cup.
9:31 am
were unbeaten in their last six qualifiers with their last victory over new zealand it's the team's first world cup since one thousand nine hundred eighty two now up against them that all of his manager has tasked them with snatching victory at any cost of a denmark it's also their first world cup in over three decades the upcoming match is a big deal for world cup co-host peter schmeichel whose son kasper will be playing today at the great danes a boy is also
9:32 am
a goalkeeper and. checked out to the stadium for ati. so. this is purposely built for the world cup. but the last time i was in the rest of the play about two hundred years ago it certainly didn't look like this it's absolutely safe and i think in this see the goalkeeper for whatever team is playing here will be sacked and since denmark and my son play in the first game and uses just yesterday i think this will be cast this is. in the museum so grounds and there's a permanent exhibition by a fellow called. he is an extraordinary outfit the centerpiece of the whole exhibition. is this. is called moses is made from one.
9:33 am
piece of wood the model must have been some tree but it's fantastic it is and so so many other of his pieces in here. i'm just about to go on stage now and speak to the defense of. because this is where i didn't play very well the first period of the draft this is where the world cup starts for me emotionally and i expect that all of you will from now on suppose that much. i. heard.
9:34 am
as the big games to a close up will be joining us special studio in the very heart of moscow i do stay tuned for our world cup coverage throughout the day. russia may be hosting the world's biggest football event but in the run up to the tournament focused in the mainstream media seem to be less on sports and more on politics police boyko takes a closer look the role of comforting russia has finally kicked off and in case you missed it some idiots still think all this out but. hundreds of years ago. people started kicking. it around and in the blink of an eye no
9:35 am
soca was born men were being paid five million dollars a month to do it and coca-cola was sponsoring it every four years at the world cup the national pride is on the line and where there is a money and a captive audience you'll also find politicians politicizing this out of it but i'm a brief and been accused of using the tournament as a showcase and after spending a fortune a billion dollars on it it's a fair bet that he's looking for some decent p.r. tell you it's a good job there stadiums are impressive because their russian team is. england has some of the most no practice well traditions of all i had in the tournament the media spends a lot of its time criticizing the host nation using a range of illinformed then the perugia then england fans travel to the host nation and destroy a renovated city center or two. but in truth twenty two said this time
9:36 am
around the british government called for an international boycott of the tournament in a show of defiance over the russian spy and his daughter who was not killed in celebrate . the cool actually it was just ice that their leaders over france and germany say they probably will go to see that team play but that could be because one of their teams is likely to win the gold in the u.s. probably would have joined the boycott by that he's really the only guy. who learned in america will be home staying in twenty twenty six and others get to join in even if that crack. the full time needed to make him un security council level threats to his allies in order to win the bid as far as the list of sizing so fair is that one is pretty hard to beat as for the players in the fines they. happily traveled to russia seriously believing and that's the one that's not so.
9:37 am
one person who was initially on a happy about coming to russia for the world cup was the u.k.'s foreign secretary however boris johnson seems to have had a change of heart months office suggesting a total boycott of the event and even comparing the tournament to the olympics under nazi germany i think it would be very difficult to see how we could i don't think he had to be to the world cup this july this summer i think it would be very difficult to imagine that u.k. representation at that event could go headed in the normal way and we would certainly have to consider that yes i think the comparison with the sixty's is certainly right distancing himself from those controversial remarks boris johnson now says that england never planned on boycotting the event in an article for a british newspaper britain's chief diplomat also insisted that the u.k.
9:38 am
and russia not at all praising quote but the friendship of both countries and journalist john gordon believes the world cup should never have been politicized in the first place i thought it was a funny art school boris johnson seems to. be a hypocrite always got memory troubles he clearly was thinking about withdrawing the train it's absolute nonsense that is what is coming out with at the moment i think it's a ridiculous came i wish they'd just drop it can we please for this month anyway get on and enjoy the football it would appear that rush is probably not a good event the fans are enjoying themselves no problems johnson should keep his nose out and you were all saying low and should big this england drop to the far you know you boris johnson trees are my prince harry. prince william would attend the final this is a gesture politics or the trying to ministration has resumed funding of
9:39 am
a controversial syrian rescue group which has received repeated allegations of links to various terror groups a moron that after the break. collateral and they lend against property and what happens prices are artificially pumped up and jacked up and some people can't afford housing to the way to fix the housing problem in the u.k. is it take away this fractional reserve banking as property so that prices would come down to the level that is traditionally affordable by the average person in britain. i can imagine. i don't know i wasn't there but i can imagine a russia defending its national interests in a way that doesn't help the hawks in the united states but couldn't has this image of such a hard guy. and i would only blame him for not caring about american public opinion
9:40 am
even more because it seems like no matter what he does there's an unfair response number less what i'm saying is it's gotten very personal. it is good to have you with us today the u.s. department of justice has released a highly anticipated report on the f.b.i.'s activities during the twenty sixth election it focuses on former f.b.i. director james comey and his handling of the clinton e-mail investigation and it also reveals details of trump messages sent by a senior f.b.i. agent who went on to head the trump russia collusion prope it was ultimately removed because of the texts james not every going to become president great right no no he won't we'll stop it. apart
9:41 am
from the report also a phone call lucian between the bureau and the media apparently agents received benefits from reporters in exchange for insider information a correspondent caleb maupin takes a closer look we now have the long awaited report from the inspector general michael horowitz on the u.s. justice department now the report shows a pretty clear record of collusion between mainstream media and the f.b.i. . we identified instances where f.b.i. employees improperly receive benefits from report says including tickets to sporting events sings drinks and meals and admittance to nonpublic social events we will separate you reports and those investigations as the concluded now the report shows pretty extensive contact between the f.b.i. and reporters and furthermore it shows that agents were incentivized to provide inside information. we have profound concerns about the volume and extent of an
9:42 am
authorized media contacts by f.b.i. personnel the we have uncovered during our review seven reporters in direct contact with the f.b.i. over one hundred phone calls and you've got officials as high up as the assistant director taking time to hobnob with reporters if you read this report you would think that at this point leaking classified information is just not a big deal to the highest law enforcement agency in the land but the f.b.i. had no problem busting james wolf for doing it himself james wolf of former congressional aide was arrested for allegedly giving information to his girlfriend who was working at the new york times while he was a congressional aide now miss watkins says that the new york times never received any leaks from james wolf and wolf is now facing charges of lying to federal officials. mr wolf so that conduct is a betrayal of the extraordinary public trust that has been placed on him. what about when f.b.i.
9:43 am
agents themselves are the ones providing a steady trickle of information to the press they say it's not a big deal it's just simply a matter of a few bad apples. the report makes clear that we have got some work to do but let's also be clear in the scope of this report it's focused on the specific set of events back in two thousand and sixteen and a small number of f.b.i. employees connected with those events so what now well i guess another investigation and the possibility of punitive measures it would be shocking to me if the f.b.i. did not act on the inspector general's report and fire some of those officials who are singled out so many not just mistakes from top to bottom but corruption and if there aren't firings the public and its cynicism towards government and towards business as usual in washington will only deepen once again we see confirmation of the kind of collusion this really is collusion between the f.b.i.
9:44 am
and the mainstream journalistic class journalists simply act as megaphones for different government agencies and j. edgar hoover the founder and long time director of the f.b.i. very famously said that there is something addictive about a secret mainstream media in the united states would like you to believe it's completely independent and objective furthermore federal agents are supposed to be untouchable and not susceptible to any friendly favors perhaps they just can't resist. artsy new york. the u.s. government has a resume funding for syria and a rescue group known as the white helmets of the state department says it's releasing six point six million dollars in aid for quote the continuation of vital lifesaving operations three months ago the trouble ministration had decided to freeze funding for the rescue organization as part of a broader program of cuts the state but also claims that the white helmets have
9:45 am
saved more than one hundred thousand lives in syria despite a series of controversies surrounding that group the members caught on camera waving. i sold flags in attending executions by terrorists and some of the alleged rescue videos have turned out to be fake in fact the white helmets only operate in militant held areas in syria often in close proximity to terror groups independent journalist vanessa believe told us that most of the claims about the rescue work have never been verified. i struggle to find any evidence. for the hundred thousand lives saved and i would very much like to see with the millions that this group are being given by a number of nato member states some form of documentation some form of archiving some form of evidence for these a hundred thousand there is mounting evidence against this group the majority of it comes from syrian civilians in the areas that i have and that's an isa lapper an
9:46 am
east group so i have not found one civilian to tell me that the white homeless rescued civilians in fact i've heard the opposite i've heard it at the way home it's where they're to work as agents for the terrorist groups and to help. when they're under attack by the syrian arab army and their allies. today marks the fifty fifth anniversary of valentina tereshkova becoming the first woman in space a groundbreaking flight was carried out on a vos talk six spacecraft it lasted almost three days on the spacecraft orbiter to earth forty eight times and to discover remains the only woman ever to have been on a space mission and here she shares her memories about that flight to. get there my heart flinched only when i spoke to my mother i was flying over to volga river my hometown river where i grew up and at this moment i was talking to my mother that's when my voice started to tremble you need to tell her conflict words
9:47 am
given that she became a widow with three children at twenty six who were not allowed to see where we were heading would sign a non-disclosure agreement knew that i'd been approved for the national team in parachuting when she found out about my flight she just said you tricked me and i replied mark there please forgive me john glenn flew for seventy seven years once i was told not to raise this issue because we'd lost gary. but i just wish to fly one more time and then i'll come down oh thank you joining us on the south of here on out so you can to national the program are tons of a top of the hour many more of your story. there.
9:48 am
right. there. oh. i think. russia took a real blow to its sense of self during c yeltsin years i remember even six years ago when i first came here people kept apologizing to me for how terrible everything was it just wasn't like america and for people to be ashamed of their country was so different and now i don't really see that i see people are more proud of their country and i think putting his you stalin in particularly the great patriotic war in the victory there as a way to inspire nationalistic pride. after
9:49 am
an intensely on bloomsday and we're going on the ground on day three of russia twenty eighteen day british trade unionists rally to mark the battle of all grieve between workers and police coming up on the show. so the collusion wasn't so much trump russia as clinton f.b.i. according to the us inspector general we investigate the plot to destroy the us president with trump's reported pick from bassett of european union and what now for what the u.n. calls the world's worst humanitarian crisis we go to yemen where british weaponry is threatening millions but from this week's headlines chaos and hypocrisy in the conservative party all this more coming up in today's going on the ground but first
9:50 am
this bite all the anti trump words of jeremy corbin's labor party the leader of western europe's largest socialist movement perhaps indicated his support for the u.s. president's meeting with north korea's kim jong un at this week's pm cues while channeling the british foreign secretary when the prime minister met president donald trump last week did she do as the foreign secretary suggested and ask him to take over the brakes at negotiations. before the pm could answer the speaker had to intervene . oh i just have to ask mr davis that probably wasn't a reference to breakfast secretary david davis anyway breaks it is going swimmingly we are working to ensure that we can have our future customs arrangements in place on the first of january twenty twenty one corbin asked when the government would publish its promised breck's it plans when is the government's bricks white paper going to be published corben said it was supposed to come up before this month's
9:51 am
e.u. summit but for tourism a breaks it is not an issue at the summit the issue is declaring economic war on the host of this year's world cup there'll be many issues that the european union leaders will be discussing at the g eight and european summit including the important issue of sanctions against russia stories that may still not arguably understanding where germany's energy supplies come from but may had more on the war a war she said was breaking out in the labor party its own. it's really pointing. to a show and its members of the labor party relating instruction manual on how to peace and that was called in support as it should be added a cock a hoop about kicking blairites out of corbin's polity the man himself replied in nuclear i may now be a meltdown. but meltdown was not a call being a word it was
9:52 am
a boris johnson word they're not actually my words but those of the foreign secretary further chaotic wrecks it questions were followed by this off to the speaker kicked out the leader of the scottish nationalists in parliament. that he was. the third largest party in parliament the s.n.p. walked out all mass meaning to nationalist parties the s.n.p. engine fame were no longer represented in parliament but ironically in washington debate dissented not so much on the power of its palm its or its executive this week's us inspector general report has put a spotlight on power being concentrated in the so-called deep states joining me now is someone who is tipped to be donald trump's man in the european union profess a tad man like he is the author of the plot to destroy trump how the deep state fabricated the russian dossier to subvert the president thanks for governing back on i don't you know want to talk so what's about being detained in the airports
9:53 am
over the book when he asked about julian asylum in the ecuadorian embassy do you believe you and others are being targeted for your allegiance to a sitting u.s. president well i think all the trump supporters. have a big red target painted a bull's eye on their back so that we don't carry great favor either with the media or with the deep state yeah i think many people would agree with you when you're when you talk about the media getting support is good liberals hate trump. who else who will says well there are never trump or so as well in the republican party who have not gone away as well as some of the what i called them the geo e the grand old establishment and they're still i mean there's a battle going on i think trump has taken over the american political scene surely as president he's running the republican party but he has enemies and there are midterm elections coming up and there are people who are always trying to sabotage
9:54 am
what he's doing so he has an uphill push and he still succeeding well i want to get on to some of that success in career in a moment let's just turn your book the other way as it were in the appendices you mention you're reproduce the dia a defense intelligence agency document which this show is involved in what did you think of it when it was produced about the reasons for twelve in writing this book which i wrote about six months ago i started i really wanted to put together this big jigsaw puzzle which has over a thousand pieces and you know the every day person could be rather. confused by it all lots of names lots of movements lots of outsmart some russia but you know russia collusion collusion collusion but i wanted to put it all together and into a puzzle and make it readable so hopefully the book is readable some people have called it a kind of dan brown page burner so i've written it in
9:55 am
a style that i don't always write and a little glee so it's written in a way that people this is no academic to me but it does contain all the i mean as well but read it you know i think everyone has read it now as well but at the end of the book we also wanted to put on these documents that again are referred to in the press all the time some of them coming from the intelligence assessments some of the letters from the committees in congress but also this is very curious i think very dubious and verified thirty five page dossier. from christopher steele it's referred to all the time i think it's the centerpiece of this whole country village media it is you just cost out the whole provenance of this report even though all that let's let's be clear the clear about it is it is paid for by opposition research by an opposition research firm called fusion g.p.s. that is funded by the democratic national committee and by the hillary clinton campaign it's used as dirt on trump it's all invented stuff it's not verified in
9:56 am
the least and the sourcing is not even clear so is if it is that intelligence no it's not intelligence do intelligent people taken seriously unfortunately some people do and they shouldn't to be fair the f.b.i. cut off their relations with this m i six men feel after talking to yahoo news tell me also about this research that you seem to tell me i hadn't come across it before and about russia's nuclear agency and the canadian company your ring him one with mining interests in all this uranium one scandal is of course at the core is taken as an aria. there's a canadian think goes through who becomes involved with the uranium market and is able to put this merger together of companies to control certain uranium interest sense of buying in in you know uranium firm in the u.s. selling those interests to this firm in eurasia and what's that going to do with
9:57 am
trump it's very interesting because it gets very large profits in this deal and it's so interesting that he is the largest donor to the clinton foundation over hundred million dollars personally. and is this just a coincidence read the book and see i think it's the real rush occlusion story is this russian delusion story you know the words that they were. gains that the clintons are going to make one hundred forty five million dollars in their foundation james clapper doesn't come off very well in your book you well i think he's being roundly criticized now for what he is a leaker and a liar so he is along with the former cia head the very. dubious. john brennan i think actually at the core of what i would call this trump russia conspiracy this was invented in the united states
9:58 am
professor. stephen cohen a princeton university calls it intel gate i called the red november conspiracy this is something that was conspire to in fact between fusion g.p.s. and the cia we love james clavell to come on the show of course but then you see patterns here the previous times where intelligence is used in ways to persuade what is interesting because clapper was in fact the person who brought us the other question will story in recent history about the infamous. w m d in iraq so i call it deja vu all over again and here he is delivering a message in this sequence if some of us may think we're exaggerating this power of the so-called deep state i mean we see your alive and present to live. how
9:59 am
powerful that i know you try to strike some kind of optimistic note in the well i don't use the term pejoratively i think just from a social science perspective there is such a thing as a deep state they have enormous power they are on elected bureaucrats and in the case of certain departments certain bureaus they have power that would actually shock most americans and most people i think the same existence of the deep state you know is present in the u.k. is present in the european democracies and is ever present in the european union which i've been critical of the us debt is no u.s. ambassador to the right now do you see as as of what i'm hopeful that the state department is vetting some candidates because it would be beneficial i think to have american representation in brussels particularly because it's such a protectionist regime and that should be exposed job it out but is a view of the brics in negotiations do you. studying to think that the deep state
10:00 am
is basically winning this battle in the votes of the people. will be concerned about democracy in that sense. we you know brits should not have to vote three four times to get their breaks it out come they voted once it was a term of vote and in my view it should have been executed if not immediately within a year it shouldn't be something that's the go see it at this stage i would have attended it the civil service is obviously trying to overturn it and tried to make all kinds of roadblocks and to make it very difficult and to it's a complicated. process how shocked have you been. about the response to the unprecedented historic meeting in singapore between you know president and kim jong il well i'm actually a. bit stupefied because i think it's rather stunning that the president could of
10:01 am
with the help of the south koreans and the help of the chinese and the su perla to of friends of his new secretary of state mike on paper whose test is going to be now to actually work all the details on this agreement that he's been able to pull this off and the american will no one is quite supportive but the american media sounds like they'd rather have a thermonuclear war with thirty thirty million people dead than peace in the korean peninsula thank you would be with after the break we look at some of the week's top stories with one of prime minister dres amaze former home office ministers and go to sanaa to see how you can arms exports to saudi arabia contribute to what the u.n. calls the world's worst humanitarian crisis all this of all coming up but you have going on the ground.
10:03 am
at the cia. i can imagine i don't know i wasn't there but i can imagine a russia defending its national interests in a way that doesn't help the hawks in the united states but couldn't has this image of such a hard guy. and i would only blame him for not caring about american public opinion anymore because it seems like no matter what he does there's an unfair response none the less what i'm saying is it's gotten very personal. welcome back to go through some of this week's headlines now i'm joined by recording artist and former u.k. home office minister norman bacon all but thanks for coming on the show away from all the politics of the world cup tournament very interesting matches i think of the us two days particularly surprising some of the results well it was surprising
10:04 am
results in football but i have to confess there's a cricket fan i would be more encouraged by the five to scotland beating that recently. i think the world is not watching cricket i could see that ok more serious things out let's go straight to a call been space welcome space in the headlines here under smith it's time to sink last throes council sponsored by this is the view of the campaign against the arms trade and the such a bench be taking place we're told in glasgow i think is a bit over the top to be honest with you and you have to ask yourself why it is that so many british arms have ended up for example boeing people in the m. and m good a good idea why the. he involved in the bombing of the data port this week because when you were in government in the ways i'm a as a secretary being sold to the saudis being used in the area for training their pilots if i was having unlimited autocratic powers donald trump or blogger putin perhaps i could have stopped that but my remit was
10:05 am
a narrow one in the home office and before that the public transport but i mean i was in saudi arabia myself and even the crown prince said to me at the time you know why is it you're british you're always trying to sell arms why don't you try and help us with other matters and they were busy buying some. equipment i think from the french at the time so yes we do over stretched sales in this country of course that makes as reluctant to criticize governments when they behave in a way that we regard as distasteful well let's go into the next story which is be dominating home affairs in this country there's a march to downing street about this evening yes look at the good old guardian farther up in london last year this was on the day of course when people were marking one year on from gradual tower blocks one year after grenfell and of course not because i'm still able didn't know they did dollars unfortunately but nevertheless it's a very sensitive matter when you have foreign top laws and the issue really is whether or not enough has been done or you're wrong to recognise a potential problems in far in tower blocks this one on one of the two from south
10:06 am
london you know either you miles from every close had very good here and of course there's abolishing going on at the moment but that had a sprinkler system and people therefore were able to to have some reassurance that the farmers would be can believe repeatedly heard from people with as it were the government it's because i'm not necessary at all i think we need to be there to be honest with you some or both of the alarms are going off on this indeed on that gavin bar well who is a maze chief of staff will be good visor was the housing minister accused of sitting on the on a previous inquiry into a fire his famous footage from the river murdoch sky. attempts to try to get him to be just rushing off and not speaking about it well i think it's pretty shameful to be honest with you to people should face. up to the positions i've taken to defend them and the reason the reason for the action he took he should explain himself well let's go to the biggest issue of this country arguably of the continent this is from the huffington post boris johnson lobstering recalled and box to reason may over tell you brought such divisions in this is from private discussions on wednesday when jeremy called on who's getting better promises questions on the news
10:07 am
to be suggested that in a lighthearted fashion no doubt the donald trump might be a better negotiator than three's a mate because that's what boris johnson said in a private meeting which was an elite i'm sure boris was perfectly happy but leapai was smiling yes he was smiling about promises questions but the real problem for britain is not really the internal machinations of the tory party except that those nose in the labor party as well are affecting negotiations with the e.u. and both parties both major parties are kicking this can down the road so far but the road to dead end didn't run out very shortly or we might get exactly what the liberal democrat party one day anyway which is a move a turning of the record really residue we need because the price of the servants don't want break of course at the polls and they say it's a total disaster and every single option on the table even the best option is worse than we have at the moment jacoby was definitely joking when he when he said something like to resume should offer to europe as a bargaining position but he was as you probably did with your ear he was joking but actually we've got to sort out the internal problems of the labor party the
10:08 am
tory party both in it for internal reasons are going way down the road the losing patients are running out of time ok if the big trade wars and trade deals in the future a big issue let's go to your next story about a big issue here of social care which arguably lost yet raise them a majority at the last election well indeed just from the wood to the excellent paper tory m.p. david davies suggests the n.h.s. shouldn't fund life extending drugs for the elderly now this is a very low didn't it if you really all just died with no medicine no doubt it would and of course this is hypocritical because you do exactly the opposite position what he was criticised in the welsh government which is labor run about three or four years earlier so i think the. fed up with a pocket full of fish that are pretty outrageous well i mean yes outrageous in the sense you can't just switch machines often the people die i know drugs of a different guy goes according to yes indeed and indeed as former drug illegal drugs well illegal drugs illegal drugs minister we're illegal as well illegal in this country but not illegal elsewhere and the fact of the matter is it was
10:09 am
a very strong case for kind of fish being used for medicinal purposes as it has in many countries concerned an epileptic this choice to be with the mother with the medicine of the leaders or to bring it in the country because that's what he needs and i know plenty of people from my experience drugs minister who rely on kind of just to do with their medical conditions when nothing else works why don't you do anything when you well i did i probably should first independent report on drugs for forty three years when i was talking minister and i also can't cold for medicinal kind of to prevent legal and. david cameron think if i got some support from jeremy hunt about the first time it was was a news article today it's very well the government's position is they should remain illegal and government is wrong and needs more proof your bank attack you and now we're going to go straight to yemen where the government arms sales we just mentioned according to u.n. reports are having a catastrophic effect joining me now for the country's capital sanaa is journalist hussain of the coffee hussein welcome back to going underground we just talked to
10:10 am
the british foreign office they've told us that britain is indeed involved in the targeting of aerial bombardment of yemen what's your understanding of the latest fighting in yemen's main port city of data the saudi the coalition. and we believe that they have got the green light from. the united states from the u.k. to advance toward the day and he see them up. among course doing the advance they just advanced in there in the course. of yemen they only control about five to. ten kilometers of the coast because they just want to reach a day that they want to but for data port back on the map and i think they know that what they do is so vital for the humanitarian aid getting into yemen so they want to bring it back into the map to have pressure on. the hoti and yemeni army
10:11 am
loyal to them to withdraw from the city and its ports and this is actually show you clearly how saudi that coalition backed by u.k. and united states is actually using the humanitarian. aid and the last line for millions of yemeni using it as a weapons to tell the host the other side to control the port either you withdraw all we can just attack the city and you are you going to be responsible for all the death and for the destruction of what's left of our data but actually is not the host the who obstructing the humanitarian aid coming into yemen we remember that in the first weeks of the saudi led coalition war in yemen they have targeted are they the port destroying their main plane so the port can only receive now small ships and with this maybe new offensive if it started it will actually close the entire port bringing this in the media just because the saudi led coalition they don't
10:12 am
want to be blamed for the death toll that might be caused by this of the data the so-called foreign minister over. money saying sorry arabia iraq planning to destroy infrastructure the saudi foreign minister. saying that yemen have been allowed safe passage from the data before a bombing so complete denial from a coalition no i mean how can you be guarantee a safe passage if the only passes for eighty percent according to the united nation for eighty percent of the humanitarian aid getting into yemen. as from the day the port eighty percent mean that the whole the are not abstract in this board this statement by some yemeni officials in saudi arabia they just want to kind of say that we do care about the humanitarian aid and we have plans
10:13 am
like if it's not if it doesn't work and if the port is destroyed and if the city is destroyed as well then that blame all the blame will be put on the whole movement british regime media calling them indeed the yemeni government but as you say there in yemen when you talk to people in the capital that we can see behind you have seen a dearth are they aware that britain opposed to a swedish resolution of the u.n. security council this week that mandated some sort of cease fire. i mean a yemeni look to the united nation and especially to the u.n. security council as a tool for western power and now is a tool for the saudi led coalition they not only call in for a ceasefire as i heard in some media outlet that sweden. to the u.n. security council has asked for a halt in all operating of a data port and as he said and added so to give time for the rebel to withdraw
10:14 am
from the data on the show you how this. u.n. security council is just used to attack the one who is actually defending the city they should actually make a solution to ask the saudi not to attack the port and to attack are they the city and i will just make it clear that the whole yemeni army loyal to them will not withdraw and they will fight to death what will guarantee if they withdraw from the data port and if the united nation takes over what will guarantee that they are not gonna stop the saudi from season this key city after what we as yemeni here in sanaa we always talk about the united nation rule in international conflict and as an example we remember in one thousand nine hundred eighty two in lebanon in sabra and shatila comes in and comes in south lebanon when liberal was invaded then the
10:15 am
united nation and the u.s. has asked the syrian fighter induced to comes to withdraw and they took them spread them in many other country but soon after the israeli army and some militia loyal to him has entered this camp who was under the protection of u.n. killing five thousand and we remember as well said bin each and bosnia and when the dutch this force haven't done anything to protect that village in bosnia in one thousand nine hundred five we remember as well one of the one final example and iraq before the invasion when the united nations. asked saddam to destroy and hunt his ballastic a missile just soon after saddam destroyed. by the new and have destroyed saddam's last ballastic missile what have been the iraq invasion has had been. hundreds of thousands of people has been killed because of that and we can see now how iraq is going into chaos now this is the same thing they want to do to her data it has been done in aden when and the whole thing with the road from there what haven't al
10:16 am
qaeda dara's is running free militia no security yemeni so-called government the way out i mean hasn't come back to aden for for many many months if not years only two days ago because they just want to be in eight celebration after ramadan and they're like they did last year and they had before but after that they will just leave aden and i believe if the united nation care about yemeni they should ask the saudi to stop the aggression on the how they drop out they should as well ask the saudi as a part in this world not only the yemeni government don't call this war in yemen as a civil war or as an inside conflict because to do so this means that you are keeping the saudi but in hiding and the saudi should be put directly and this should be told between the un so-called yemeni government and if they do that i think that the yemeni. solution out of peace and yemen will be will be reached soon
10:17 am
i began by saying that the british foreign office has told this program it is helping the targeting of yemen what about the targeting and i should say the saudi arabian government obviously deny any attempts at killing civilians they deny they're hitting infrastructure of u.n. security council deny such allegations united nations officials also deny such allegations of the they're saying it's the world's worst humanitarian crisis what about getting possible talking reports of possible to. think of dubai and abu dhabi in the united arab emirates in the coming days i think. president of high council president or some other was who was assassinated they believe in nineteen of april this year he has said that they will be the final battle if they do attack we will take a measure that we cannot go back from so this show you know that i am sure that
10:18 am
dubai abu dhabi and even though the. saudi oil fields will be one of the main target if they actually target her they try to enter the data and that's why he said. we will do things that we cannot return and that will actually . save you toward the war on yemen and the saudi al we're well aware of that that's why they try to have pressure using the united kingdom and the united states and france to have pressure on the u.n. security council to ask the holy to withdraw so they can go into the city without any fight between overcrowding thank you and that's of the show where i come away with award winning scientist to investigate the significance of humans appearing in four seconds to midnight if history is reduced to a single rate of eighty thousand us placers your media with your money twittering
10:19 am
10:20 am
a ton of visuals. i think. russia took a real blow to its sense of self during thirty yeltsin years i remember even six years ago when i first came here people kept apologizing to me for how terrible everything was it just wasn't like america and for people to be ashamed of their country was so different and now i don't really see that i see people are more proud of their country and i think putin has used stalin in particularly the great patriotic war in the victory there as a way to inspire nationalistic pride in.
10:21 am
10:22 am
most celebrated. set to play we'll have special coverage throughout the day with four host cities on the. last night portugal held spain to a draw in group b. of the tournament thanks to a sensational trick from christiane. also a new report by the u.s. department of justice details cases of collusion between the f.b.i. and the mainstream media during the twenty sixth. bust the cover ministration resumes funding for a controversial syrian rescue group known as the white helmet. here in moscow are you watching oxy international on this saturday thanks for joining us

10:24 am
moscow where iceland fans of been gathering ahead of the big game eager i know moscow and many other russian cities right now are just electric for this world cup but what's the atmosphere like where you are now. well rory dunn sitting there singing jumping and clapping iceland and seem to become pleading unfazed by the apparent might of the team they're set to face today i mean just look at the. now of course later today they will be playing their team will be playing against argentina i might see a very mighty opponent but i stand a nation of somewhat three hundred thousand people made became a footballing sensation at the. euro's cup at the last euros championship. they made progress nobody expected them to make even some of
10:25 am
them maybe did not expect to make that progress so know their hopes certainly do fly high for this year's world cup here in. so leo messi these guys have one message for you. thank you. for the encounter between iceland and elgin to know will kick off in fewer than four hours hope you can join us for the coverage.
10:26 am
so it's the seventeenth world cup however the last victory was more than thirty years ago in one thousand nine hundred eighty six and they were runners up in twenty fourteen and brazil where they were defeated in the final by current world champions germany now taking on one of the most experienced teams are a world cup first time as iceland they're also the smallest nation ever to qualify for the tournament however warriors won't be alone right behind them is an fans that have made a name for themselves all around the world and with anticipation building ahead of the match. made more predictions. i would say an incredible talent against a very very happy team. plays shows help in this and they
10:27 am
love to compete and we don't any kind of pressure they're not going to give an easy and this is time to argentina but argentina means the talent so i think they're going to win. last night's clash between spain neighbor portugal turned out to be a real nail biter six goals were scored resulting in a draw meaning both teams take away one point in group b. portugal's cristiana ronaldo scored a hat trick while spain's diego costa managed to get two into goal and world cup co-host what do you know who wants coach to aldo his post match analysis. they say i love that max is unusual i wasn't as a political fan in the very first minute here we are renowned with the penalty. didn't look like he was going to me stealing very confident. he made a decision before he goes he goes high even if that be the course of those two that
10:28 am
side no chance the ball is fast passes not long after diego costa was causing all sorts of problems was an easy big man push himself about the future has five four to use. the portuguese a goalkeeper india will cost joe cross to score in the middle five red shirts now there again hurts me to say. you know this is a bad it's a bad mistake is a goal we. face so they won in fast time and i thought certainly looking at this is going to tell there's a lot at stake a lot of pride at stake you can sense it was rivalry between these two teams and when they came back out of course it wasn't long before they got another goal of think with an equaliser there for him at the cost. of fossil because. sometimes. sometimes the managers we feel a little bit like to be treated by players the seasons on the beach sometimes in
10:29 am
the heat they're not able to sing. sometimes that is a little bit of luck of leadership on the beach because sometimes we are not able to communicate to the second i'll start you have to go slowly do you have to work to try to create emotional problems with a team that is losing two one and you give them the chance to get into the game with a battle that made it say to you and then they went ahead with the right strike bananas unstoppable unstoppable you think he knows that this was how he doesn't need to see the ball in the internet to know that this for the fly of the ball is beautiful . the ball with you used to call the three fingers which is the external part of of the food no chance for the keeper because of all gives an impossible fly for for him and was when. the free kick situation arrived intelligent experience
10:30 am
christiana looking for that for the sticky. position that he loves what to play i mean from the first minute until the last minute you always felt he was the man on the totally just just looking at his face you can sense that he's the one out there that my changing and this is. what i used to call. the feeling of the game. the specific intelligence of playing football i saw in train free kicks for hours after training sessions asking one of my assistants put me the wall stay with me give me balls. and he was looking for that he put the free the ball down and i felt i was looking at him for about an hour. is running on twenty three is not the best on free kicks but this one is a critical one this one is is a crucial point what can affect the self-esteem of the self-confidence the way to
10:31 am
approach the next two to match is the rivalry what it means for the portuguese people that is at home. and it has these little. these little touch these little extra a feeling of final for a kick in the dying minutes. top corner jokes and talk on lots of factors in the game but for me the most important factor is. the psychological relation between the taker of the ball the wall and the ball and in the last minute. recall one point. perfectly and that was practically the last week of the game i mean he knew that was the last chance you'll have to new york he's going to be the happier of the teams here of course claim to have. a different feeling which is the feeling that has three points in the pocket and two of them to fly just
10:32 am
in the end but overall i think both teams not happy they're not at the point is it would point to know that with five points they both qualify now they can relax a bit more now they can prepare the next two matches with a different feeling on a friday also saw iran take on morocco with excited fans cheering morocco's first world cup in twenty years but it was the iranians who had more to celebrate after they were gifted a win by a moroccan gold and i time the iranian president meantime house on the army posted this picture on social media of him enjoying the game. the atmosphere of russia is wild with fans from all across the world filling city's streets of the capital sun into just various seas of color with the supporters waving flags and singing national chants from dusk until dawn.
10:33 am
i. i. i. i. i i i am. well a group looks as follows russia and europe top the table with three points each while egypt and saudi arabia have yet to make a mark in a group meanwhile the iran lead they took away. with morocco to an golden stoppage while portugal and spain point. let's bring in some pictures for you right here of the program from newly opened. where hundreds of iceland fans have gathered to cheer their team ahead of the game. iceland match is
10:34 am
set to take place in around four hours at the spot. as you can see here a beautiful sunny day in moscow it's about a twenty one degrees celsius that translates to nearly seventy degrees fahrenheit no clouds in the skies today beautiful sunshine over moscow do stay with us for our continued coverage on the international. the big games draw closer we'll be joining our special studio in the heart of moscow if you can stick around for a world cup coverage throughout the day. russia may be hosting the world's biggest football event but in the run up to the tournament focus in the mainstream media seem to be less on sports politics as a boy who investigates. the world cup and russia has finally kicked off and in case you missed it some idiots still think all this is out football.
10:35 am
hundreds of years ago a pig gave up its blood people started kicking it around and in the blink of an eye no song was born men were being paid to find a million dollars a month to do it and turkey was sponsoring it every four years at the world cup the national pride is on the line and where there is a money and a captive audience you'll also find politicians politicizing this out of it but i'm a brief and been accused of using the tournament as a showcase and after spending a fortune billion dollars on it it's a fair bet that he's looking for some decent p.r. so there was a good job there stadiums are impressive because their russian team is. england has some of the most know practiced well up traditions of all ahead of the tournament the media spends a lot of its time criticizing the host nation using
10:36 am
a range of people and then the perugia there and england fans travel to the host nation and destroy a renovated city center the or two. but in truth twenty two said this time around the british government called for an international boycott of the tournament in a show of defiance over the russian spy and his daughter who was not killed in slavery but i slept on the cool actually it was just i said the leaders of france and germany say they probably will go to see their team play but that could be because one of their teams is likely to win the war the us probably would have joined the boycott was that he's really the only guy. who learned in america will be home staying in twenty twenty six and others get to join in even if their craft. the. u.n. security. you use allies. is
10:37 am
already hard as for the players. happily travel to russia. one person who was initially on a happy about coming to russia for the world cup was to. however boris johnson seems to have had a bit of a change of heart months after suggesting a total boycott of the event and even comparing the world cup to the olympics. i think it will be very difficult to see how we can i think you head to the to the world cup this july this summer i think it will be very difficult to imagine that u.k. representation at that event could go hated in the normal way and we would certainly have to consider that yes i think the comparison with the sixty's is certainly right distancing himself from those controversial remarks boris johnson now says
10:38 am
that england never planned to boycott the event now article for a british newspaper britain's chief diplomat also insisted that the u.k. and russia are not at all praising the quote friendship of both countries one journalist john gone believes the world cup should have never been politicized in the first place. thought it was a funny article boris johnson seems to. be a hypocrite well he's got memory troubles he clearly was thinking about withdrawing the train it's absolute nonsense that is what it's coming out with at the moment i think it's a ridiculous claim i wish to just drop it can we please for this month anyway get on and enjoy the football would appear that russia is putting on a good event the fans are enjoying themselves no problems boris johnson should keep his nose out and you will see them live i'm sure because they think i'm going to fall you know you boris johnson trees are my prince harry. prince
10:39 am
william would attend the final this is a gesture politics and this is our international a busy day today for worldwide headlines and of course our world cup coverage as well but we're back in just about. apply to many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the fun of school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the shaper money. to spend spend to do the twenty million album like. it's an experience like nothing else because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful just like great so well. it's going to.
10:40 am
collateral and property and what happens prices are artificially pumped up and jacked up. the way to fix the housing problem in the u.k. is to take away this fractional reserve banking as property so that prices would come down to the level that is traditionally affordable by the average person. to be with us today and the u.s. department of justice has released a highly anticipated report on the f.b.i.'s activities during the twenty sixteen election it focuses on former f.b.i. director james comey of the clinton e-mail investigation but it also reveals details of messages sent by a senior f.b.i. agent who went on to head the. probe but was later removed because of the texts.
10:41 am
james not every going to become president right right no no he won't we'll stop it. the report also found collusion between the bureau and the media apparently receive benefits from reporters in exchange for insider information. takes a closer look we now have the long awaited report from the inspector general michael horowitz on the u.s. justice department now the report shows a pretty clear record of collusion between mainstream media and the f.b.i. . we identified instances where f.b.i. employees improperly receive benefits from reports is including tickets to sporting events golf now things drinks and meals and admittance to nonpublic social events we will separate you reports and those investigations as the concluded now the report shows pretty extensive contact between the f.b.i.
10:42 am
and reporters and furthermore it shows that agents were incentivized to provide inside information we have profound concerns about the volume and extent of on all through media contacts by f.b.i. personnel the we have uncovered during our review seven reporters in direct contact with the f.b.i. over one hundred phone calls you got officials as high up as the assistant director taking time to hobnob with reporters if you read this report you would think that at this point leaking classified information is just not a big deal to the highest law enforcement agency in the land but the f.b.i. had no problem busting james wolf for doing it himself james wall former congressional aide was arrested for allegedly giving information to his girlfriend who was working at the new york times while he was a congressional aide now miss watkins says that the new york times never received any leaks from james wolf and wolf is now facing charges of lying to federal officials. mr hoofs alleged conduct is
10:43 am
a betrayal of the extraordinary public trust that had been placed on him what about when f.b.i. agents themselves are the ones providing a steady trickle of information to the press they say it's not a big deal it's just simply a matter of a few bad apples. the report makes clear that we have got some work to do but let's also be clear in the scope of this report it's focused on a specific set of events back in twenty sixteen and a small number of f.b.i. employees connected with those events so what now well i guess another investigation and the possibility of punitive measures it would be shocking to me if the f.b.i. did not act on the inspector general's report and fire some of those officials who are singled out so many not just mistakes from top to bottom but corruption and if there aren't firings the public and it's cynicism towards government and towards
10:44 am
business as usual in washington well knee deep in once again we see confirmation of the kind of collusion this really is collusion between the f.b.i. and the mainstream journalistic class journalists simply act as megaphones for different government agencies and j. edgar hoover the founder and long time director of the f.b.i. very famously said that there is something addictive about a secret mainstream media in the united states would like you to believe it's completely independent and objective furthermore federal agents are supposed to be untouchable and not susceptible to any friendly favors perhaps they just can't resist. r t new york. the u.s. government has resumed funding for syrian rescue group known as the white helmets of the state department says it's releasing six point six million dollars and eight full quote the continuation of buy told lifesaving operations three months ago the
10:45 am
trumpet ministration had decided to freeze the funding for the organization as part of a broader program of cuts the statement also claims that the white helmets have saved more than one hundred thousand lives in syria not despite a series of controversies around the group its members were caught on camera carrying the iso going to. executions by terrorists and some of their alleged rescue videos have turned out to be fake the white helmets only operate in militant held areas of syria often very very close to terror groups independent journalists but as i believe told us that most of the claims about their rescue work i've never been verified. i struggle to find any evidence. for one hundred thousand lives saved and i would very much like to see with the millions that this group are being given by a number of nato member states some form of documentation some form of archiving some form of evidence that these a hundred thousand there is mounting evidence
10:46 am
against this group the majority of it comes from syrian civilians in the areas that i have and that's a nice aleppo an east group so i have not found one civilian to tell me that the white homeless rescued civilians in fact i've heard the opposite i've heard it at the way home it's we're there to work as agents for the terrorist groups and to help. when they're under attack by the syrian arab army and their allies. today marks the fifty fifth anniversary of valentino tusk over the coming the first woman in space oh groundbreaking flight was carried out in a vos talk six spacecraft it lasted almost three days on the spacecraft orbit it forty eight times that of kobo remains the only woman ever to have been on a solo space mission and here she shares her memories about her flight. to. get there my heart flinched on the one who spoke to my mother i was flying over to
10:47 am
volga river my hometown river where i grew up and at this moment i was talking to my mother that's when my voice started to tremble you need to tell her conflict words given that she became a widow with three children i don't know six of us who were not allowed. to say where we were heading would sign a non-disclosure agreement jelly know that i've been approved for the national team and parachuting wishing when she found out about my dad died love she just said you trade me and i replied the remark there please forgive me john glenn flew for seventy seven years once i was told not to raise this issue because he'd lost a car in but i just wish to fly one more time sure and then i'll come down yeah well thanks for sharing some of your saturday with us here at aussie international we do what's right with.
10:48 am
your. oh. i can imagine well i don't know i wasn't there but i can imagine a russia defending its national interests in a way that doesn't help the hawks in the united states but couldn't has this image of such a hard guy. and i would only blame him for not caring about american public opinion anymore because it seems like no matter what he does there's an unfair response none the less what i'm saying is it's gotten very personal.
10:49 am
yes or no i don't know what was the last bit you went on that you know i am not used to be. village is it safe because. i sure there is no music ters there and they are all going to be sure the baby doesn't cover his that is the. one who was going to support bill clinton only who thought he is dead as part of that was a good deal. that was worked out of this. previously yes and no they are being false form of where he and his food member of the society. have been.
10:50 am
i am max kaiser this is the kaiser report someplace special someplace new someplace exciting where are we stacy we are in dublin money column and i think that's enough every time i spend for them so i'm going to ask you to put that right over that money come from this is exciting this is homemade stuff here look at their very talented on the riser report. kaiser can't come out of our earth for a month as cars are almost as good or owns. all about money i have chosen some headlines with money as a topic for this first episode from money cause that's great yes you know while
10:51 am
we've been here now i have there been summits in singapore but there was also the g seven meeting and canada where justin trudeau is i have your eyebrows fell right off just just like it was the fellow is america ron paul ron paul his mark and his eyebrow mercantile right up yes but over in switzerland as well they had one of their referendums you know how if you get one hundred thousand people to sign a document you can ever referendum on anything when they had a referendum called the vulgar elds so the tweet from wall street journal rhes swiss voters rejected the vogue elde initiative which would have put the swiss national bank in charge of all money creation appending the banking system so it would have ended basically fractional reserve banking it was something like seventy percent voted against this so it did not succeed at all but we're going to talk a little bit more about that so it's interesting that they would even consider this so they understand that the central bank of switzerland is acting malevolent
10:52 am
undercut commercial banks that they've they said the commercial banks should not be able to print money by issuing loans. they create money so they wanted to take that power away from them that said that commercial banks like j.p. morgan deutsche bank goldman sachs that they could not create money they could only lend against their reserves one hundred percent reserves that only the central bank of switzerland was going to be allowed to print money just like in the case of america would be the u.s. federal reserve would be allowed to create money for the treasury. exactly so they voted it down but they're aware of it they're aware of the. effects of fractional reserve and that money is created by loaning it into existence of no there's no collateral banks have no reserves against loans they they they loan more than one
10:53 am
hundred percent of reserves of three hundred percent of reserves in the case of deutsche bank they've loaned an infinite amount against nonexistent reserves it's not there's nothing in your bank except maybe some old gum wrappers there's nothing there to collateralize those hundred ninety trillion ponzi scheme of derivatives of deutsche bank that's why it's going to go out of business but nevertheless i want to turn to this other article and it's martin one of one of the chief opinion makers at the financial times wrote a piece an opinion piece saying that the swiss should have practice that they should take the power to create money away from commercial banks because commercial banks have proven themselves to be not good at doing what they're supposed to do now i'm only going to read a an opinion piece about martin moss opinion piece because the financial times is behind a paywall and i guess they want to make money off of the financial times i don't want to give them the money so i'm going to read this headline here martin lost a swiss should vote for of all gelled switzerland is trying with the idea of
10:54 am
removing the ability of banks to increase money supply in a bow on sovereign money or ball gelled the question will be put to a referendum on june tenth and as i said they voted against it max but martin wanted to f.t.s. with out with an indoor. spent today i'm curious terms saying that finance needs to change and experiments he says banks have lost the right to be arbiters of money quote the advantage of the vogels proposal is that it is a credible experiment in the direction of separating the safety rightly demanded of money from the risk bearing expected of private banks with money and ambiguously safe it would be far easier to let risk taking institutions bear the full consequences of their failure to write well in america there was the glass steagall act that was came in after the crash of one nine hundred twenty nine and the resulting in the depression and the securities act of thirty three and thirty four were introduced in glass to go introduced a step or
10:55 am
a bank's. activity as guardians of people's wealth yes and their cause it's their deposits from their speculative behavior and some merchant banking and i don't know speculative behaviors so they have a separate these two but then that was all under clinton bill clinton you know got rid of glass steagall and the banks have gone back into this framework using your deposits as their risk capital and whenever they make a bad loan they get bailed out by the state so we saw this in the savings and loan crisis we saw this as some prime crisis is just banks gaming the system banking game and now martin wells he's an establishment player so it's interesting that he would make the suggestion that the swiss banking system should embrace this a non fractional reserve a wholly backed reserve bank i mean if you apply that to the banks in the u.k. lloyds has b.c. barclays bank of yes yeah right they would all have to be technically declare insolvency because they have no assets yet i mean you've actually been on stage
10:56 am
here in ireland with martin wolf and he wasn't this radical back then but he's also suggesting that citizens should be allowed to put their own deposits at the central bank just like banks can and that's how they're able to spend money because they're able to borrow from the central bank at zero percent and then lend to us. why is he making this converging convergence why is he coming to damascus why is he coming to the holy land well if you're as you might actually because he's being pressured by a bit coin yeah i understand we're going to answer a bit more of what we're going to get to that in a second but i want to finish up on the smartwatch story because the fact is when said when banks are lending money and creating money in the u.k. i know for a fact that eighty five percent of all their loans are against mortgages of its properties so think about the destabilization in our western economies in america san francisco los angeles new york on the whole this problem portland seattle it's all lend it's on property bubble. backed by these banks lending money against that
10:57 am
and of course with the as it's they generate more more more and more profit for themselves because they can can they can basically created a ponzi scheme against which they're guaranteed to make money but it's causing destabilization across all the cities in america and europe right the properties used as collateral and they lend against property and what happens prices are artificially pumped up and jacked up and so people can't afford housing the way to fix the housing problem in the u.k. is to take away this fractional reserve banking as property so that prices would come down to the level that is traditionally affordable by the average person in britain exactly if they were lending and actually creating an economy helping everybody that's what they originally were meant to do is lend to perhaps risky companies new startups or companies or businesses to grow the economy that would be
10:58 am
one thing but the fact is they're just lending it all to a completely speculative. venture which is property and yet it's causing the economy to worsen because they're also locking people out from you know being able to move to new cities for new jobs because property is so expensive but they're not lending to companies are not lending to small businesses in fact r.b.s. has done the opposite they smash and grab the assets using their ability to create money issue these loans that's why the u.k. economy is so vulnerable it's a bit of a model culture and only property speculation i know from starting companies in the u.k. my employees were only interested in speculating in the property market the idea of having a start up or the stock price goes up when you create a technology company was completely alien to them well you mentioned that quine and was a big topic here at money com of course we we've been speaking here for. few years
10:59 am
and now they're introducing crypto cop all of these events that have talk about money and banking there are having to introduce and being forced by between to recognize them and start talking about it and what is this so money kompas crypto compeer and this is here but this was an interesting story as well in the headlines while we've been here and this is from the c.e.o. of lazard and if you don't know who loves art are. probably the most powerful bank in the world behind the scenes they are not like you're not going to go it's not a high street bank you know i could go deposit your funds there but they are very very powerful in terms of how they can control the total banking system the bank of international settlements and governments so here is the c.e.o. of mozart bank and he says you can imagine crypto replacing the u.s. dollar quote u.s. isolationism could undermine the dollar status as the world's reserve currency in the desired chief executive officer ken jacob said to the extent that we have
11:00 am
unilateral foreign policy and unilateral trade policy we're sort of tempting the world to find an alternative he said in a bloomberg television interview probably the greatest demonstration of soft power is the fact that the us has a reserve currency of the world so he says big going to replace the u.s. dollar more right on track from what we projected on the show five years ago some point the various nation states will have to give up and realize that their fear money currency system central banks don't work even martin what those one of the most blue blooded establishment hacks of the financial times is now essentially espousing to coin and so reserve banking over fractional reserve skullduggery and property market ponzi schemes in the u.k. that's quite a turnaround but the fact that loans are bank is also saying this in there though the most establishment bank french bank and you know felix rohatyn which was their c.e.o. back in the seventy's and eighty's orchestrated the municipal systems corporation
11:01 am
or mack bond turn around from new york city the. or they go to advisors for the insiders of these various nation states and they have a great reputation and they are see the writing on the wall they realize that bitcoin is about to kill off deader than a bag of hammers but you and i have also said here on kai's report you heard this your first we did say on kai's report years ago that when u.s. the us started using you know lateral power the fact that the wearing a uniform the world led by the us as an empire they do they do have a lot of power but they don't because as soon as they use their unilateral power alternative spring up when they start imposing restrictions on people access in the global financial system through swift for example we said because it's going to be used as an alternative or goals or something like that so this is what we're seeing with statements like this coming from those are bank it's not like it's coming from r.b.s. which has no power on the right there's this two mutually exclusive pieces to the puzzle if you make america great again you lose us dollars world reserve currency
11:02 am
those two are mutually exclusive well notice he didn't say that the euro would replace that he has been quite nobody but nobody wants to be maybe good to have a neutral platform like. i mean i could be the special drawing rights from the i.m.f. that's him crying jim rickards jim records. you know he's wrong he's going to pick i mean we've got to take a break here at kaiser report on. coming to you a special report don't go away there's plenty of work on your way i think we're going to talk to town brains that's right stay there.
11:03 am
kids in the. car. in the afternoon anything. does should i'm concerned you can and i can do it on jay they're on the stand on the person in that are equal distance isn't what equals a stance me. because i don't pretend to know in the movies that devotional putting innocent lives this is so dowsett overall. i think. russia took a real blow to its sense of self during thirty yeltsin years i remember
11:04 am
even six years ago when i first came here people kept apologizing to me for how terrible everything was that this wasn't like america and for people to be ashamed of their country was so different and now i don't really see that i see people are more proud of their country and i think putting his years stalin in particularly the great patriotic war and the victory there as a way to inspire nationalistic pride. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer it be in the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine the executions one convict mr brown demolition the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying is just no really hasn't been that we even many of victims' families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's
11:05 am
what murder victims' families were. that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. welcome back to the kaiser report i'm max as or i'm here with jon benet welcome back iraq's thanks only back you know i just want to make one quick comment i'm wearing the exact same outfit including this leg that i wore a charlie in courtney's wedding oh wow ok i was in my closet looking for something to bring in money conference money come and more in this sense since i thought why not wear the sram wedding outfit you know i'm sure you know very good choice i mean i had to drop off to just go on stage here at the conference you look at sure you
11:06 am
get the money come off it. let me get a reaction to this it seems a bit corporate if you know what i mean so i was fortunate like ripped out its money and it's like there's a lot of corporate vibe here it's different than usual crypto conferences that we go to that's true and i actually like i feel like half the people i speak to are. i see business right now your customer which is a huge trend now in crypto and especially for i.c.l. is that were launched last year they're now being revisited and they're being asked to provide k y senior customer rules and regulations the regulators are coming into this space in a big way talent is not a surprise what do you think that's not a surprise at all to me i've always saw all of these i see oh it's going box to experience ice you know securities and it was kind of good finally made it somewhat clear in a recent interview when he said if your tolkien was created by and at the price
11:07 am
which almost all of these are and if anyone is buying this tolkien with an expectation of profit then you are in violation of the how you and you are security if you are nice you know in a space you should probably be a little bit there just right now click name in an interesting statement or is basically translating. with. i see he's saying if you're interested in doing in i.c.a.o. as a private placement do a private placement but eventually doing an i.c. or nine pm. that's outside of a private placement come see us at the f.c.c. so he's not there's not even a cigarette paper between ip and i see the industry expectations of you talk to the group of people or that we're reinventing ip as the rules don't apply to us. right now i will say however it's a little bit disingenuous in a lot of them tried to go to the s.b.c. year a while ago and the f.c.c. kind of wanted nothing to do with it so they are late and i unfortunately they are
11:08 am
a big arm of the u.s. government and even though they are late they can still get you they're still going to say it was your fault bernie madoff was an open investigation for more than ten years i think. went before the regulators three times with proof and you know they just didn't they that's all they do all day is look at someone you were on stage your money conflicts stacy herbert talking about krypto and securities and investing and the point came about reg the investment and i think the debate if i can characterize it correctly was that well you know reg d. precludes anyone from having a certain network their income from a participating in let's say a reg offering and a lot of people on this side of the debate are saying hey wait a minute that means most of the market won't be able to participate when your thoughts yeah so i actually a really good question that comes up a lot this idea well how come only rich people get to invest in facebook's shares right how come something like that isn't open to the average investor and my
11:09 am
argument to that has always been well it's a very speculative investment and you know professionals can't get it right ninety percent of all businesses fail especially businesses and brand new technology the failure rates probably even higher but people still feel doubt the little guy should have a. and it's a tough argument and now i kind of say if you really want a high risk investment just going bust in the stock market at least those companies have already proven their cost of three i.p.o. stage and they're in there already publicly traded and most people feel that the stock market is always all priced and always too dangerous and always too risky without realizing that all of those companies are currently in the stock market one hundred times riskier before they made it into the s. and p. five hundred over some reason people think that's not risky but that's and p. five hundred companies are companies where revenue companies that have
11:10 am
a very low chance of going bust right this argument that well how come i didn't get a chance my facebook it's a bad argument because along with facebook or a hundred other companies trying to do something similar in ninety nine you never heard of or they all end austin to say that oh you were able to pick that one that was facebook is fallacious plus even venture capitalists there hit ratios one in ten they're ninety percent losers and they're the experts and they're the complete experts that i've to the facebook thing i say whoa all of your money would have probably been in my space because that's where my money would have been i always thought my space was better and i was a user of my space i hated switching to facebook i just had no choice. and you're right on that and my best example of this is the biggest free i.p.o. investor. was amazon so even they then. they were going to win this is the regulations are there and look at the pension market for example you know we went to a transition in the eighty's where pensions were being self directed by employees
11:11 am
and taken out of the hands of corporations and individuals ran him into the ground in two thousand and eight they got wiped out because individuals couldn't handle the volatility so they were before then just getting a coupon clipping for a five percent return every single year their retirement something that was you know a nice pot of money but if you give an individual that you. they get caught up in emotions or not professionals get wiped out by making the argument that serves a purpose and so. i went for a second in the space of crypt it is part is in a way to get more public participation in crypt now in a way that satisfies both the need to protect people from getting wiped out and still have exposure to these emerging technologies while big question in my opinion is your safest bet but once again just like people don't want to invest in the s. and p. five hundred and they would rather invest in facebook's future competitor as a pretty i.p.o. for the same reason people don't want to invest in bitcoin and don't want to invest
11:12 am
in these competitors that have a very low probability of success they're basically buying up lottery tickets and we all know that's not a very profitable way to make a living going to buy lottery tickets but that's what you do in a group called if you want to safe investment in crypto go buy that quarter don't put all of your money in pick one if you want to do it in a tax deferred way i hate saying it but is your only option you can buy that in your retirement fund and you're right i self the right my own for a one k. i'm responsible for my own retirement money and you can do that if you go by hopefully they'll be a better e.t.f. on the market soon better than she and then you can buy it as a tax deferred retirement account and you know diversify your portfolio a little bit fred let's talk about big plans for a second so you are you follow technical analysis and you're known as somebody who
11:13 am
teaches groups had to do technical analysis and so it's gone now says israeli the other side of the analysis portfolio one on wall street uses the other being fundamental analysis or you know looking at the actual earnings of a specific company and determining their growth rate technical analysis just looking at the price charts and. and you're making certain assumptions about how prices tend to repeat and patterns repeat because they're subject to human emotions and human emotions never change people are greedy at the time they get bearish on the bottom you know when i was working on wall street you have many many what i call contrarian indicators you know people tend to buy puts at the bottom so the put call ratio is bullish because it's a contrarian indicator and these are all very useful tools and space is a very young space is tend to be you know technological i was going to resisting saying geeks and nerds and what i mean that's what we're talking about this is all very new to them how's that message been interpreted that's actually been great for
11:14 am
me because i recognize pretty early when i started writing in the space about price and technical analysis that i really am dealing with a lot of people that are getting into trading because of this the removal of barriers to entry to become a trader at a speculator and all of these assets without any kind of learning it's almost like a you know what let me go drive in the indy five hundred. before i got my permit in trying a car and i kind of carved out this little niche where i have experience in trading i have watched the markets for fifteen years i've worked out well shit for ten years lots of trading experience and they let me at least educate people on how to be traders it doesn't mean they're going to make money trading but at least they'll have an idea of the other side of trading which is technical analysis and using charts and using those emotions and putting yourself in better probabilistic bets
11:15 am
to potentially profit from the market the problem that we have is people can't separate because they're too young to investors they can't separate the idea of an investor from a trader a trader should never be married to the asset the three trading it's just something so. if you are in love with big quoi or you're in love with the theory you're not going to be a very good trader of those assets because you're emotionally involved the best traders are never emotionally involved with the assets that they're trading to sign or to tend to this one is making money the other one is risk management so technical analysis can be a tool for speculation but it's also true for risk management as far as where to put in stops and other orders to keep you keep your money from being drawn down i mean this is what the trader once you draw down money you know you have the arithmetics of losing it takes more money to get even than the mt the money that
11:16 am
you drew down so if you're down ten percent you have to make more in ten percent to get back to even so this is the cycle that people get into it is for a destructive i want to talk about something a fifty one percent attack you know when you not come onto envisioned because when he talked about the fifty one percent attack and we know that it's been resistant to fifty one percent and he did not mention futures in the white paper and or any of the correspondence he had is anyone that i'm aware of did he mention financial futures we do now have been quite a few tricks in the argument against a fifty one percent attack put forward by i suppose she is that according to game theory you wouldn't do it because you'd wipe yourself out but if you took a position in the futures market and then your tactical line say when you want to put on big corn and then you killed it with a fifty one percent tax you know there's some room to manipulate or to make markets or to trade yourself i think that would be very very difficult because their futures have just come alive and don't fall you want those futures is pretty low
11:17 am
the leverage on those futures is also pretty low but the big question of house rate and the ability to get that fifty one percent is very very high and by the time futures could be liquid enough to profit well from this kind of idea. the hash rate is going to be exponentially higher still making it so hard to do the fifty i guess active because it is running ahead of the devil he hasn't day one one step ahead of the debt and in addition it will be a very dangerous bet because as the big market grows higher who's going to be the counterparty yeah you're going to take on all of these short plays like about what happened in the financial crisis right everyone thought they were going to make so much money off of the proper position on the c.d.o. except the counter parties also failed no liquidity right no liquidity right so just because you made this giant bed and you were absolutely right what happens
11:18 am
when your counter party. was to left and the counter party goes down doesn't it saying well they have to feed the ducks with their quacking right if there is just one yes and the intermediary the c.m.e. as insurance to back this up but they could also not have an elf this is what the c.e.o. of interactive brokers was very very worried about but on the upside down a downside that there may not be enough back up and liquidity to do it so it's difficult and i always say a lot of people there are gold bugs a lot of people want this catastrophe to come but you don't realize if the kind of passion is too big nobody wins today stationary cars report thank you that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser and stacy everett i think our guest. is if you want to catch us on twitter it's kaiser report until next time you know.
11:19 am

of zoos and minerals it was dismissive to do it love me like you know that this isn't my complicity is going to sell me all maybe a bit. old john. the only palestinians it gets the most help from its jerusalem counterparts i don't think this. those who are under the vision to. do this. and that's. going to. do more.
11:22 am
i. i. think playing urgent enough to take these steps to show that. can beat leo messi steve. it is day three of the world cup and his boy. game against argentina will be building one of the four one of the most celebrated. special. four games today. a new report by the u.s. department of justice details. between the f.b.i. and the mainstream media during the twenty sixth election. the company ministration resumes funding for a controversial syrian rescue group known as the white helmet. well
11:23 am

11:24 am
completely unfazed by the potential might of the team they are set to face off today it's iceland versus argentina argentina versus a team that plays for a nation of roughly three hundred thousand people but which made a football sensation at the previous euro euro championship and they have a message to the argentine and fans so what do you think will happen at today's game we will win yes. what's core we will win two one. yes we will win that's corn five for like russia. you see leo messi these guys had a message for you the vikings are coming. i .
11:25 am

11:26 am
now the french team runners up at the european championship in twenty sixteen now has its sights on lifting the world cup and their france is widely seen as one of the strongest teams it's a track record of the world cup group stages not so great for the blues one just three of the last twelve group stage games now playing against france's australia who are seen as the underdog however the aussies have tim cahill a veteran who scored three world cups something only a handful of great players can boast about both australia and france have their devoted fans who decided not to waste time and play a game of their own. oh
11:27 am
11:28 am
portugal's christiane alto scored a hat trick while spain's diego costa managed to get two into goal and artie's a world cup co-host josie marino who once coached ronaldo gave his post match analysis i. i. i j say i love that. i wasn't as a political fan in the very first minute. with the penalty. he didn't look like he was going to me stating very confident i made a decision before i. even if that be the course of those two that side no chance the ball this fast pass that. not long enough to be
11:29 am
a good cost was causing him. source of problems was nice and big man put himself at that the picture has five portuguese years the portuguese of all people india will cost double cross the score in the middle of five red shirts now there again hurts me to say. you know this is a bad it's a bad mistake is it will we. face so they won in past time and i thought certainly looking at this going to tell there's a lot at stake a lot of pride at stake you could sense it was rivalry between these two teams and when they came back out of course it wasn't long before we got another goal i think was an equaliser there for him at the cost. of fossil because. sometimes. sometimes the managers we feel a little bit like be treated by players the seasons on the beach sometimes in the heat they're not able to sing. sometimes that is
11:30 am
a little bit of luck of leadership on the beach because sometimes we are not able to communicate to the second all starts you have to go slowly that you have to work to try to create emotional problems with a team that is losing two one and you give them a chance to get into the game with a battle that made it say to you and then they went ahead with the right strike the man is unstoppable unstoppable you think he knows that this was how he doesn't need to see the ball in the internet to know that just for the fly of the ball is beautiful he needs the ball we used to call the three fingers which is that external part of of the food no chance for the keeper because it will gives an impossible fly for for him and was when. the free kick situation arrived intelligent experience christiane looking for that for that's tricky you know a position that he loves what to play on. from the first minute until the last
11:31 am
minute you always felt he was the man on the totally just just looking at his face you can sense that he's the one out there that my changing and this is. what i used to call. the feeling of the game. the specific intelligence of playing football i saw in train free kicks for hours after training sessions asking one of my assistants put me the wall stay with me give me balls. and he was looking for that he put the free the ball down and i felt i was looking at him for about an hour. is running into history is not the best on free kicks but this one is a critical one this one is is a crucial point what can affect the self-esteem the self-confidence the way to approach the next two to match is the rivalry what it means for the portuguese
11:32 am
people that is at home. and it has these little. these little touch these little extra a feeling of final for a kick in the dying minutes. talk corner and lots of factors in the game but for me the most important factor is. the psychological relation between the taker of the ball the wall and the goal and in the last minute. recall one point perfectly and that was practically the last kick of the game i mean he knew that was the last chance a new school had to new he's going to be the happiest it's a team say of course spain have. a different feeling which is a feeling that has three points in the pockets and two of them they fly just in in the end but overall i think both teams are happy they're not. the point is
11:33 am
that the point. five point. five now they can relax a bit more now they can prepare the next two matches with a different feeling friday also saw iran take on morocco with excited fans cheering morocco's first world cup in twenty years but it was the iranians who had more to celebrate after they were gifted a win by a moroccan gold in extra time the iranian president hassan rouhani posted this picture on social media of him enjoying the game. now the whole atmosphere here in russia is absolutely wild with fans from across the world filling city streets the capitals turn into various seas of color with supporters waving flags and singing national chance all the way from dusk until dawn. i.
11:34 am
thought of the. group a currently look south follows russia and europe why the table with three points each egypt and saudi arabia have yet to make a mark in group b. meanwhile iran lead they took away maximum points off the back of the rocco thanks to an own goal in stoppage time while of portugal and spain have a point each. match between australia and france is still ongoing the score hasn't been opened yet though as the big games draw closer it will be joining our special studio in the heart of moscow for our special coverage i hope you can stick around for it here on r.t. international.
11:35 am
so russia may be hosting the world's biggest football event but in the run up to the tournament focus in the mainstream media seem to be less on sports and much more on politics his. the world cup or the russia has finally kicked off and in case you missed it some idiots still think all this is out football. hundreds of years ago a pig gave up it and people started kicking it around and in the blink of an eye no soca was born men were being paid five million dollars a month to do it and coca-cola was sponsoring it every four years at the world cup the national pride is on the line and where there is a money and a captive audience you'll also find politicians politicizing this out of it but i'm
11:36 am
a brief and been accused of using the tournament as a showcase and after spending forty million dollars on it it's a fair bet that he's looking for some decent p.r. so it was a good job there stadiums are impressive because their russian team is. england has some of the most no practice well traditions of all ahead of the tournament the media spends a lot of its time criticizing the host nation using a range of beautiful and then the perugia then the england fans travel to the host nation and destroy a renovated city center or two. but in truth twenty two said this time around the british government called for an international boycott of the tournament in a show of defiance over the russian spy and his daughter who was not killed in the story. i slept on the cool actually it was just ice and their
11:37 am
leaders over france and germany say they probably will go to see their team play but that could be because one of their teams is likely to win the in the us probably would have joined the boycott odds that he's the only guy. who learned in america will be home staying in twenty twenty six and others get to join in even if their craft. to make u.n. security. to his allies in order to win. the sizing. is already hard to see as for the players. they've happily traveled to russia. not so. one person who was initially unhappy about coming to russia for the world cup was the u.k.'s foreign secretary however boris johnson seems to have had a bit of a change of heart months after suggesting
11:38 am
a total boycott and even comparing the world cup tournament to that of the olympics under nazi germany i think it will be very difficult to see how we can i think he had to be to the world cup this july this summer i think it will be very difficult to imagine that u.k. representation at that event could go ahead in the normal way and we would certainly have to consider that yes i think the comparison with one hundred thirty six is is certainly right distancing himself from the controversial remarks boris johnson now says that england never planned on boycotting the event and an article for a british newspaper the chief diplomat also insists that the u.k. and russia are not at all praising the quote friendship of both countries or journalist john gaunt believes the world cup should have never been put. in the first place. i thought it was a funny article boris johnson seems to. be a hypocrite always got memory troubles he clearly was thinking about withdrawing
11:39 am
the train is absolute nonsense that is what is coming out with at the moment i think it's a ridiculous came i wish they'd just drop it can we please for this month anyway get on and enjoy the football would appear that russia should play not a good event the fans are enjoying themselves no problems boris johnson should keep his nose out and you watch the signal and i'm sure biggest they think i'm going to fall you know you boris johnson trees are my prince harry. prince william would attend the final this is a gesture politics our time for a very short break we're back in just.
11:41 am
nearly twenty past here in moscow the u.s. department of justice has released a highly anticipated report on the f.b.i.'s activities during the twenty sixteen election it focuses on former f.b.i. director james comey and his handling of the clinton e-mail investigation but it also reveals details of. messages sent by a senior f.b.i. agent who then went on to head the trump russia collusion probe though he was later removed to jim's not ever going to become president great right no no he won't we'll stop it apart from the report also found collusion between the bureau and the media apparently agents received benefits from reporters in exchange for insider information is our correspondent. we now have the long awaited
11:42 am
report from the inspector general michael horowitz on the u.s. justice department now the report shows a pretty clear record of collusion between mainstream media and the f.b.i. we identified instances where f.b.i. employees improperly receive benefits from reports is including tickets to sporting events now things drinks and meals and admittance to nonpublic social events we will separate you reports and those investigations as the concluded now the report shows pretty extensive contact between the f.b.i. and reporters and furthermore it shows that agents were incentivized to provide inside information. we have profound concerns about the volume and extent of on all three media contacts by f.b.i. press no the we have uncovered during our review seven reporters in direct contact with the f.b.i. over one hundred phone calls you've got officials as high up as the assistant director taking time to hobnob with reporters if you read this report you would
11:43 am
think that at this point leaking classified information is just not a big deal to the highest law enforcement agency in the land but the f.b.i. had no problem busting james wolf for doing it himself james wall former congressional aide was a rested for allegedly giving information to his girlfriend who was working at the new york times while he was a congressional aide now miss watkins says that the new york times never received any leaks from james wolf and wolf is now facing charges of lying to federal officials mr hoofs alleged conduct is a betrayal of the extraordinary public trust that had been placed on him what about when f.b.i. agents themselves are the ones providing a steady trickle of information to the press they say it's not a big deal it's just simply a matter of a few bad apples. the report makes clear that we have got some work to do but let's also be clear in the scope of this report it's focused on a specific set of events back in twenty six feet and a small number of f.b.i.
11:44 am
employees connected to those events so what now well i guess another investigation and the possibility of punitive measures it would be shocking to me if the f.b.i. did not act on the inspector general's report and fire some of those officials who are singled out so many not just mistakes from top to bottom but corruption and if there aren't firings the public and its cynicism towards government and towards business as usual in washington well knee deep in once again we see confirmation of the kind of collusion this really is collusion between the f.b.i. and the mainstream journalistic class journalists simply act as megaphones for different government agencies and j. edgar hoover the founder and long time director of the f.b.i. very famously said that there is something addictive about a secret mainstream media in the united states would like you to believe it's
11:45 am
completely independent and objective furthermore federal agents are supposed to be untouchable and not susceptible to any friendly favors but perhaps they just can't resist. r t new york. the u.s. government has resumed funding for a syrian rescue group known as the white helmets the state department says it's releasing six point six million dollars in aid for quote the continuation of vital lifesaving operations three months ago the trump administration had decided to freeze funding for the organization as part of a broader program of cuts the statement also claims that the white helmets of say you for more than one hundred thousand lives in syria that is despite a series of controversies surrounding the group members caught on camera. holding and waving the ice all fly and attending executions by terrorists and some of their alleged rescue videos have turned out to be fakes the white helmets only operate in
11:46 am
militant held areas of syria often in very close proximity to terrorist groups and independent journalists for nasa believe told us that most of the claims about the so-called rescue work have not been verified. i struggle to find any evidence for the hundred thousand lives saved and i would very much like to see with the millions that this group are being given by a number of nato member states some form of documentation some form of archiving some form of evidence for these a hundred thousand there is mounting evidence against this group the the majority of it comes from syrian civilians in the areas that i have and that's a nice aleppo and east group so i have not found one civilian to tell me that the white homeless rescued civilians in fact i've heard the opposite i've heard that the way home it's where they're to work as agents for the terrorist groups and to

spots at most a football club obviously today it's not about football clubs it's about world cup but the battlefield definitely is on this is one of the loudest stadiums of old twelve world cup stadiums i've been to it's absolutely magnificent when fans of chanting and we can see hordes of fans particularly argentinian ones maybe less are from iceland they've been saying it here for three or four hours now ready for that day it's the seventeenth world cup for argentina however have not been really successful the last world cup they won was nine hundred eighty six runners up twenty fourteen in brazil losing out to germany in the final and there is even a talk over messi curse that he play so well for the clubs but you're not caught at an international level and could not lift the most coveted prize in world football in any case his journey to attempt to lift the world cup starts today right here
12:29 pm
lots of fans as i mentioned electric atmosphere. yeah and one of the fans i managed to speak with actually travelled from argentina leaving his job to be here in russia let's listen. learn a lot of about russia in the school so i went to see it by myself to a boy that people says about russia so i came here with like four they said go and i found these i m a z i may say no a little inside of. she rich i'm beautiful a people i was really really nice even if they don't speak english or spanish or that people try to help you. here i feel at home. respect to rina of course we hope so i think to. work up it's going to be really hard i think how a really good team share money too so it's going to be really tough for the guys but i hope they can do it this time. i phone
12:30 pm
a few only i surely i met a. couple and they had a baby so we took up the baby really nice being with us and i'm in the big time of that without an indian flag and he with sums and about they i saw him flag so it was a really nice picture it's beautiful it's not so friends on the picture not so much of a friends tomorrow on the pitch that's for sure. so let's talk about the opposition now iceland the first world cup for the tiny nation in fact they are the smallest nation to advocate all the five for the world cup it used to be trinidad and tobago up until iceland made it three hundred thousand people. some say that large part of the country is actually now in russia to support their team but it's interesting to see whether this will go their way because everyone is saying argentina would win but obviously the iceland fans have
12:31 pm
a different opinion but what is the prediction coming from one of the best managers in world football is a marine you know he told us what he thinks about this game. isn't in and i would say an incredible talent advanced against a very very happy team i think he's had plays shows help in this and they will and they love to compete so we don't any kind of pressure they're not going to give an easy and it's just time to argentina but argentina means the talons so i seem to go into it. and i have to keep that well meanwhile the match between australia and france is in full swing at the cousin of wayne up and no goals yet. well you know i tell you. what i feel that we're going you know you. really.
12:32 pm
should be. a chain of go strong instead of a we've been training together for ages and possibly our four minutes or so we're ready to take on the french in this war. by last night's clash between spain and neighbor portugal turned out to be a real classic six goals were scored resulted in a drawer meaning both teams take away one point in group b. portugal's cristiana run aldo scored a hat trick while spain's diego costa managed to get two into the goal artie's woke
12:33 pm
up posters a marine you know who wants coach to run alto gave his post much analysis. i. was. i j say i love that max is unusual how was it as a political family in the very first minute here we are now day with a penalty. i didn't like it was going to me still a very confident. he made a decision before you go you go i even if that be the course of those two that side no chance the ball is fast fast enough not long after diego costa was causing all sorts of problems was nice and big man put himself about the future as five four to use. the portuguese of all people india will cost joe cross to score in the middle
12:34 pm
of five red shirts now that again hurts me to see. you know is that bad is a bad mistake is that will we. have its face so then when in fast time and i thought certainly looking at this game you could tell there's a lot at stake a lot of pride at stake you could sense it was rivalry between these two teams and when they came back out of course it wasn't long before they got another goal i think was an equaliser there for him at the end cost. possible because. sometimes. sometimes when managers really feel a little bit like to be treated by players the season is on the beach sometimes in the heat they're not able to sing. and sometimes it is a little bit of luck of leadership on the beach because sometimes we are not able to communicate to the second i'll start you have to go slowly the you have the will
12:35 pm
to try to create emotional problems with a team that is losing. two one and you give them a chance to get into the game with a battle that made it say to you and then they went ahead with the right strike and anise unstoppable unstoppable you think he knows that this was and now he doesn't need to see the ball in in the net to know that just for the fly of the ball is beautiful it's the ball with you used to call the three fingers which is the external part of of the food no chance for the keeper because it will gives an impossible fly for for him and was when. the free kick situation arrived intelligent experience christiana looking for that for this tricky. position that he loves what to play i mean from the first minute until the last minute you always felt he was the man on the totally just just looking at his face you can sense that he's the one out there that my changing and this is. what i used to call.
12:36 pm
the feeling of the game. the specific intelligence of playing football i saw in train free kicks for hours after training sessions asking one of my assistants put me the wall stay with me give me balls. and he was looking for that he put the freak the ball down and i felt like i was looking at him for about an hour. is running on twenty three is not the best on free kicks but this one is a critical one this one is is a crucial point what can affect the self-esteem the self confidence the way to approach the next two to match is the rivalry what it means for the portuguese people that is at home. and it has these little. these little touch
12:37 pm
these little extra feeling of final for a kick in the dying man. top corner james and top form rocks affected as in game but for me the most important factor is. the psychological relation between the very core of the ball the wall and the ball and. in the last minute. recall one point perfectly and that was practically the last kick of the game i mean he knew that was the last chance you will have to know who's going to be the happy of the two teams here of course play the have. a different feeling which is a feeling that has three points in the pocket and two of them to fly just the indians but overall i think both teams but happy to know that the point is at the point in order to reach five points they both qualify now they can relax a bit more now they can prepare the next two matches with
12:38 pm
a different feeling and update for you now on the australia france game france that have a scored one goal on a penalty kick let's take a look at the group now as it currently looks russia and a year ago i topped the table with three points each while egypt and saudi arabia have yet to make a mark it would be meanwhile iran's elite they took away maximum points after their clash with morocco thanks to an own goal in stoppage time well forty goal and spain have a point. in a few hours we'll be joining our special studio in the heart of moscow as they do stay tuned for our world have coverage throughout the day. russia may be hosting the world's biggest football event but in the run up to the tournament focus in the mainstream media seems to be less on sports fans more on
12:39 pm
politics polly boyko takes a closer look. the world cup of russia has finally kicked off and in case you missed it some idiots still think all this is about football. hundreds of years ago a pig gave up its blood people started kicking it around and in the blink of an eye no soca was born men were being paid to find a million dollars a month to do it and coca-cola was sponsoring it every four years at the world cup the national pride is on the line and where there is a money and a captive audience you'll also find politicians politicizing this out of it but i'm a breeze and it's been accused of using the tournament as a showcase and after spending a fortune billion dollars on it it's a fair bet that he's looking for some decent p.r. tell you it's a good job there stadiums are impressive because their russian team is.
12:40 pm
england has some of the no practice world cup traditions of all ahead of the tournament the media spends a lot of its time criticizing the host nation using a range of beautiful and then the perugia then the england fans travel to the host nation and destroy a renovated city center or two. but in truth twenty two said this time around the british government called for an international boycott of the tournament in a show of defiance over the russian spy and his daughter who was not killed in celebrate . the cool actually it was just ice that their leaders over france and germany say they probably will go to see their team play but that could be because one of their teams is likely to win the ball in the u.s. probably would have joined the boycott by that he's the only guy. who learned in
12:41 pm
america will be home staying in twenty twenty six and others get to join in even if that crap. that's a little tom needed to make the u.n. security council level threats to his allies in order to win the bit as far as politicizing so that one is pretty hard to beat as for the players and the fans they've happily traveled to russia seriously believing that they're just going to walk some sixty knots up. another day for you know on the australia france game australia have countered france penalty kick with scoring a goal of their own so it's now one ball and in that game we'll be bringing you all the latest later in the program and we'll be back after the short break. lateral and they land against property and what happens prices are artificially pumped up and jacked up it's up people can't afford housing to the way to fix the
12:42 pm
housing problem in the u.k. is a take away this fractional reserve banking as property so that prices would come down to the level that is traditionally affordable by the average person in britain. i can imagine. i don't know i wasn't there but i can imagine a russia defending its national interests in a way that doesn't help the hawks in the united states but couldn't has this image of our guy. and i don't blame him for not caring about american public opinion even more because it seems like no matter what he does there's an unfair response number less what i'm saying is it's gotten very personal.
12:43 pm
welcome back to the u.s. department of justice has released a highly anticipated report on the f.b.i.'s activities during the twenty sixteen election it focuses on former f.b.i. director james komi and his handling of the clinton the e-mail investigation but it also reveals details of anti trumped messages sent by a senior f.b.i. agent who went on to head the trump russia collusion probe but was removed because of the text not ever going to become president right right no no he won't we'll stop it. well apart from that the report also found collusion between the bureau and the media apparently agents received thirteen benefits from reporters in exchange for inside information on the scale of more pain takes a closer look we now have the long awaited report from the inspector general
12:44 pm
michael horowitz on the u.s. justice department now the report shows a pretty clear record of collusion between mainstream media and the f.b.i. . we identified instances where f.b.i. employees improperly receive benefits from report says including tickets to sporting events sings drinks and meals and admittance to nonpublic social events we will separate you report from those investigations as the concluded now the report shows pretty extensive contact between the f.b.i. and reporters and furthermore it shows that agents were incentivized to provide inside information. we have profound concerns about the volume and extent of on all three media contacts by f.b.i. personnel the we have uncovered during our review seven reporters in direct contact with the f.b.i. over one hundred phone calls you got officials as high up as the assistant director taking time to hobnob with reporters if you read this report you would think that
12:45 pm
at this point leaking classified information is just not a big deal to the highest law enforcement agency in the land but the f.b.i. had no problem busting james wolf for doing it himself james wolf of former congressional aide was arrested for allegedly giving information to his girlfriend who was working at the new york times while he was a congressional aide now miss watkins says that the new york times never received any leaks from james wolf and wolf is now facing charges of lying to federal officials. mr hoofs alleged conduct is a betrayal of the extraordinary public trust that had been placed on him. what about when f.b.i. agents themselves are the ones providing a steady trickle of information to the press they say it's not a big deal it's just simply a matter of a few bad apples. the report makes clear that we have got some work to do but let's also be clear in the scope of this report it's focused on a specific set of events back in twenty sixteen and a small number of f.b.i.
12:46 pm
employees connected to those events so what now well i guess another investigation and the possibility of punitive measures it would be shocking to me if the f.b.i. did not act on the inspector general's report and fire some of those officials who are singled out so many not just mistakes from top to bottom but corruption and if there aren't firings the public and its cynicism towards government and towards business as usual in washington. once again we see confirmation of the kind of collusion this really is collusion between the f.b.i. and the mainstream journalistic class journalists simply act as megaphones for different government agencies j. edgar hoover the founder and long time director of the f.b.i. very famously said that there is something addictive about a secret mainstream media in the united states would like you to believe it's
12:47 pm
completely independent and objective furthermore federal agents are supposed to be untouchable and that's the sept of all the any friendly favors but perhaps they just can't resist. r.t. new york. the u.s. government has received funding for a syrian rescue group known as the white helmets the state department says it's releasing six point six million dollars in aid for the continuation of vital lifesaving operations three months ago the trumpet ministration had decided to freeze funding for the rescue organization as part of a broader program of cuts this statement also claimed that the white helmets have saved more than one hundred thousand lives in syria well as despite a series of control offices to rounding the group it's meant. as have been caught on camera carrying the ice the old flag and attending executions by terrorists and some of their alleged rescue videos have turned out to be fake the white house
12:48 pm
makes only operate in rebel held areas of syria and often in close proximity to terrorist groups independent journalist vanessa bearly told is that most of the claims about their rescue work have not been verified i struggle to find any evidence. for the hundred thousand lives saved and i would very much like to see with the millions that this group are being given by a number of nato member states some form of documentation some form of archiving some form of evidence for these a hundred thousand there is mounting evidence against this group the majority of it comes from syrian civilians in the areas that i have entered and that's an isa lap or an east group so i have not found one civilian to tell me that the white home has rescued civilians in fact i've heard the opposite i've heard it at the way home it's who are there to work as agents for the terrorist groups and to help.
12:49 pm
when they're under attack by the syrian arab army and their allies about twenty minutes left to go in the france australia game with the team still on one one we'll be back with all the latest from the world cup and all your other world news in about half an hour. i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i dived. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman to just kill you narrowness and spending to get to the twenty million and one player. it's an experience like
12:50 pm
nothing else not to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy but great so one more chance with. the face going to. come to. life. come to town where americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents. the bad news is there will be more plastic sands fish by weight in the city by the year twenty fifteen bides goodnow was. this is the two hundred others however dag did it ah ah why yet here he
12:51 pm
was there because we hung around long enough for people to start so we did it where we're like a tech that is so dug in you know your cognitive dissonance gets to decide then again maybe the tech is a good. place tapeworms got me losing weight. anyway what does the good news of our two hundredth episode have to do with the bad news that we're filling our oceans with plastic absolutely nothing but i figured you would be the chaser after hearing we're all going to suffocate on a pile of plastic bags coralie straw isn't camp on applicators are either but i think i can taste a little bit of plastic right now i think ahead since the nineteen fifties humans have created eighteen point two trillion pounds of plastic that's equivalent to eight hundred and twenty two thousand hours worth of plastic but no one ever gets
12:52 pm
engaged in front of those lost it's unclear how long it will take for that plastic to completely biodegrade into its constituent molecules estimates range from four hundred fifty years to never answer your old dildo maybe floating the seven seas for eternity no longer just now a real. where in your eye a patch over at one. and you go up stuck on the end of a nor walled tosk free. but that our wall actually has it easy because ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year and a global summit in nairobi. december the head of the united nations environment program spoke of an ocean armageddon ocean armageddon it's that bad
12:53 pm
and that's also the title of the upcoming reboot of water world this. time around kevin costner's arrives for two weeks by eating his own earwax pretty pretty exciting but yes considering the fact that when the oceans die we die that much of the play and much of the plastic has been broken down into nano plastics too small for even the i did see some people are calling the plastic disaster as bad as climate change but that's all geographic says ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change there are no ocean trash deniers at least so far true but in a way are we all ocean trash deniers i mean how much ocean like me ocean trash her best have you seen recently you know interrupting your family beach vacations beating you with pool noodles or going but how do you know you are
12:54 pm
there is one of feels like to be on the all ask. and or plastic problem is growing exponentially in one thousand fifty we produce two point three million tonnes of plastic in twenty fifteen it was four hundred forty eight cylinders toasts all of that for forty eight one hundred sixty one million tons was for packaging material that is used for less than six months single serving yogurt single serving lunchables single use plastic bags single use sparklers you know you used to be you could get several months out of a couple of those suckers really you could get a good round nipple razzle dazzle for a good long time but now everyone just tosses them out right over their shoulders so that it gets stuck in some dolphins blow a hole or something and who's going to clean those balls out how who's going to volunteer for that blow job what. in the night see fit. us media was celebrating celebrating the new found freedom of plastics in ninety five to five
12:55 pm
life magazine ad the headline for zero way living items in the photo it said would take forty hours to clean the text noted except that no housewife need bother. yeah but what they did mentioned in mention in their throwaway living article was that by using that much plastic we as a species would throw away living our. lives would be no more. we would be a single serving species but don't worry as the oceans are getting choked with plastics wildlife is dying off and our cities are filling with pollution pretty much everyone now understands we have the libs to stain a bully and stop buying and lessly no one except a psychopath would recommend we do otherwise right.
12:56 pm
oh my triglycerides and certain kinds of chimpanzees bother bending over her. dropped. just grab your phone and bye bye bye bye bye and then one of our underpaid servant people will have more pacifiers and sippy cups your liver to you within the next thirty sac and yet i don't mind the words please tell me they're watching hastily scribbled on the guy's t. shirt yes just exchanging awkward thanks for taking my call wave sized box that holds a plastic i don't the size of a tennis ball. truly half the plastic ever manufactured has been made in the past fifteen years last
12:57 pm
year the coca-cola company acknowledged for the first time just how many plastic bottles makes one hundred twenty eight billion a year but here's some good news kenya joined a growing list of nations that have banned plastic bags france said it would ban plastic bags and cups by two thousand and twenty but on plastic micro beads in cosmetics take effect this year in the u.s. canada and the u.k. and for other countries yes even to resell may the terror attack to a lady who says. who sits atop england's golden throne of zombies skulls even even she has a plan to rid the country of all plastic waste in twenty five years which fun fact is the same amount of time it takes one for you can see blood worms to gestate many many believe. many believe we need an international agreement to stop filling the
12:58 pm
oceans with plastic oh wait we already have hundred ninety three nations including the u.s. actually passed the united nations clean seas agreement it's really just a declaration of a good intention it's like the rio de janeiro treaty in which the world pledged to combat dangerous climate change back and nineteen ninety two meaningless international agreements are really doing us wonders. anyway here are five things that you yes you can do to help give up number one give up plastic bag. religious. rule use of plastic shopping bags are used worldwide every year and all hundred billion in the u.s. alone the average dame in contrast goes through four single use bags per year the average american goes through for plastic bags just disposing of his bloody
12:59 pm
gloves after margaret in the grocery store clerk who gave him paper bags. well what do you want to pick up the flintstones here give me your goddamn wife exact. number two no more straw us americans. americans tossed five hundred million plastic straws per year wait no everything that's every guy. number three use a refillable water bother we're. we're now at a million flowers that bottles per minute ninety one percent of which are not recycled number four of void plastic packaging plates and cups number five recycle and don't litter and i feel i feel that one should be followed by. recycling don't litter. but what this list from national geographic can't and
1:00 pm
won't say and basically every media outlet will never talk about is that to truly save ourselves we have to move away from unfettered capitalism a system that. says to the world choir's that requires and promotes endless buying infinite consumption don't stop buying more waste more buy more weissbourd don't reuse don't recycle don't don't do with out used to be that a tube of toothpaste would would last a roughly sixteen years or so now. not to travel to the place you know last year like three nights when you thought that you used to use them single use soap right next to grab your umbrello which will hold together for about two rainstorms there's nothing more allergic to your brain of than a modern day umbrella. like acid so that they're made out of cotton candy.
1:01 pm
then you get to work you grab a single use coffee a single use coffee lid your plastic straw you you know you have plastic single use creamer then you whip out your disposable ballpoint pen that has only enough ng to write the words. it's all over it can be. yes won't it be convenient when our planet is uninhabitable we have an eco testicle selfish economy based on ovoid health and. sustainability was suffocating on our own economic idiocy every single ad programmed fog for as a commercial you ever think it's meant to tell you that more is better more consumption more by more needed but more is not better it's worse there's only one thing in life where more is better. so number of average joe de redacted did. i. say ok. how do we got you covered
1:02 pm
yet it is far. from welcome and i'm really candela take the news from behind it so you already know that our man child president may baby has brought us peace with north korea or at least it seems our way until tomorrow when the red pepper mayo on his burgers a little too spicy that he gets a bad bad gas at which point he'll take his anger out by tweeting that kim jong un is jobby in the deal is off but for now peace but despite this historic move toward peace most of your mainstream media is trashing the deal c.n.n. m s n b c the democrats have staked out
1:03 pm
a position to the right of the republicans man doing that we remain on the cusp of nuclear war forever some of them were even upset that trump pledged to stop our meaningless war games in south korea how they were even they were even upset that he even called the war games war games how dare he not use the agreed upon euphemisms in order to brainwash the american public. they think these are not war games they are strategic exploding practiced a religion. was surprisingly loud nature twelve feet from the border of a nuclear power. and then you put on fox news where they seem to think donald trump just solved the origin of dark matter. brought bags. seventy percent of all extinct species and created peace on earth for the next hundred years meanwhile none of these channels none of them seem to notice that we're still dropping forty four
1:04 pm
thousand bombs a year and helping saudi arabia perpetrate a genocide in yemen that the us just says could kill three times the number of people as jews were killed during the holocaust. yeah seriously they should be talking. live for the morally bankrupt neo liberal world view held by both the democrats and republican wants that their friends you know how many of those starving kids in yemen are funding my senatorial campaign half zero right now out of one. was a direct quote. the supreme court has decided that purging people of color from the voting rolls is all well and good the top four upheld ohio's purging of voters ohio has cut nearly two million voters from the rolls in recent years and
1:05 pm
that purging is far more common with people of color the way that the way this is done is someone if someone doesn't vote in one of the elections then the officials send a postcard to them and it says if you don't respond to this you may be stripped of your voter registration secretary of state john hughes deads office mailed some one point five million queries to registered voters he got back fewer than three hundred thousand responses and then stripped some one point two million voters from the computer files hey i got i got i got i did a supreme court how about elected officials put a coder ring in every box of crackerjacks all right and then each voter puts on the ring while listening to that week serial installment of dick tracy on the radio box during that episode there will be in and cold. good message if they answer that code and answer a questionnaire correctly then they get to vote the questionnaire. the
1:06 pm
questionnaire consists of one question are you black i've got to tell the print but i got it oh yeah did i mention we also especially last net neutrality this week right which which means you're probably watching this video would a person be a be because we don't have control of be interrupted anymore but on the bright side if you do acid at the same time as you're watching news to try to. quit if you don't think right i was i who are. you guys do you are i have far too well to be right oh my oh i thought i was. survival guide stacey just to start to.
1:07 pm
get. back to the. public. good repatriations look at the rest of seven years. bill of the seven guys report. it is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos. dismiss it like. this is my complicity is going to study how maybe. john does. the only palestinians who gets the most help from its jerusalem counterparts those things is of those who are under the vision to. do this. and that is a law that is tied to this lady in the muscle that you have going to compete in the doesn't seem to do more. because of.
1:08 pm
1:09 pm
a struggling american would receive an unconditional monthly stipend no strings attached seems unlikely as unlikely as finding fox news at an oil pipeline protest or m.s.n. b.c. at an oil pipeline protest your house had an oil pipe you get the point you buddy. former residents of stockton california basic income is closer to becoming a reality then you would think for more on this we go to our senior basic correspondent now lemme get. a basic basic income. correspondent. stockton saga of morning yeah so what's going on here is an experiment worse than the n.f.l. playing in london. i don't need the redskins to go across the atlantic to know they suck worse than england's food. just like oh i don't need to see stockton's mayor
1:10 pm
give one hundred residents five hundred dollars a month for over a year to know it's a scenario begging for irresponsible purchases come back to me i'm at minimum getting top shelf full quad seltzer for a year and a half. that does seem a little basic so you. know you also assume they're jobless i mean plus unemployment doesn't guarantee a living wage especially since one in four stockton residents live in poverty and the town went bankrupt a few years ago which is especially why we shouldn't trust a twenty seven year old mayor to manage a town's money they're practically asking for the city's entire savings to be stashed inside a decade old futon that's already full of lost goals and i'll try great d.v.d.'s. and it doesn't get at the root of the problem part of why u.p.i. seems attractive is because it's an answer to automation replacing human labor.
1:11 pm
which you won't have to worry about with my version of u.b.i. cutting bots internationally. all right this is my plan to transport up incoming mexican boxers the punch boston dynamics robots. i like to. thank this not only saves jobs but now no one can say an immigrant took their. automation of all basic income you know it's a stepping stone makes it easier to afford expenses research shows will lose nearly half of our jobs in the next twenty years. if mexican middleweight canelo alvarez is left hook has anything to say about. it as much as immigration paperwork costs having any other u.b.i. out there my fund raising cash. especially since stops is just million dollars for these checks from the economic security project run by facebook co-founder
1:12 pm
chris hughes he wants to give five hundred dollars a month to every american making less than five fifty thousand dollars a year except that requires a fifty percent tax increase on the one percent and of all people because the founder of facebook should know there's a higher chance i'll get a facebook post from someone i love poke my vagina. ok is that option on facebook going to. so use maybe a one percent everybody sees that basic income may be the first step in realizing that the the benefits of society especially with technological advancement should go back to the people right not not just to a tiny group of insanely wealthy like we could be working a lot less if the top ninety percent. of the top ninety percent didn't take all the money ok well there is money ok so maybe basic income will help stockton but it will be years before there is one large enough to help in a major city like this. san francisco i mean maybe by then they'll turn out to
1:13 pm
trash into affordable housing. and typically the worse the commute the cheaper the ranch and unless you can swim that commute is going to be a. fair enough. they make a living there is no fights going on in washington d.c. concerning the minimum wage and it's a debate that many cities across the country are having to break it down let's go now to redacted correspondent jonathan. are to vote no on d.c. initiative seventy seven and don't get it twisted save our tips is not an anti circumcision protest slogan but maybe it should be just look at that poor bastard don't or that's not our this segment is about it's about the powerful restaurant
1:14 pm
lobby they're currently trying to mask their campaign to kill initiative seventy seven and upcoming ballot measure here in washington d.c. that would gradually raise the minimum wage of tip workers to fifteen dollars an hour by twenty twenty five but by cloaking its opposition to the wage increase in lefty rhetoric the campaign hopes it can trick d.c.'s overwhelmingly liberal voter base into voting down a progressive policy and it appears to be working well over one hundred independently owned d.c. restaurants and bars have signed an open letter on behalf of the wishes of their tips employees to vote against the wage increase among multiple worries lots of d.c. bartenders and servers are scared that with a higher wage their tips will dry up and their overall pay will drop but outside of whether or not that will be the case the question is who exactly is funding these fears who are the fear funders. and why does fear of thunder make me think of
1:15 pm

1:27 pm
i am a correspondent and next year or so have schemes been catching up with some of the found. len i logged off about russia in the school so i want to see it by myself. that people says about russia so i came here . for they said go on i phone the i m a z m a c no live in sight of. huge i'm beautiful people i was really really nice even even they don't speak
1:28 pm
english or spanish or that people try to help you. yeah i feel at home. with respect to rain of course i would hope so i think to. work up it's going to be really hot i think of how i really good team share money too so it's going to be really tough for the guys but i hope they can do it this time. i phone a few only i surely i made a. couple and they have a baby so we took up the job with a baby really nice big tour with us and i'm in the picture i made it without an indian flag he with some zoom about there i saw him flag so it was a really nice beach area it's beautiful so friends on the picture not so much a reference to more on the pitch that that's for sure. let's take a look at the groups now the secret opening between france and australia has just
1:29 pm
wrapped up just a few moments ago with france winning with the score is going to goals however ahead of the match the team's fans decided not to waste time and play a game of their own. so it's well you know you can do that with all that but after that we're going to show you . the root of the here we should really be. a team of grow strong instead of a we've been training together for ages in the past we are four minutes or so and we're ready to take on the french in.
1:30 pm
last night's clash between spain and neighbor portugal turned out to be a real classic six goals were scored resulted in an resulting in a draw or meaning both teams take away one point in group b. portugal's christianne over naldo scored a hat trick while spain's diego costa managed to get two into the goal artie's world cup co-host same of radio who wants coach to an elder gave his post match analysis. i. observe. jay say i love that max is unusual i wasn't as a political fan in the very first minute here we are now and again with the panel saying. he didn't look like he was going to me standing very confident. he made
1:31 pm
a decision before you go he goes i even if that be the course of those two that's not chance the ball is fast passing. not long after diego costa was causing all sorts of problems was nice and big man put himself about the picture as five for these years the portuguese goalkeeper and the overall cost joe cross to score in the middle of a five red shirt now there again hurts me to say. you know this is a bad it's a bad mistake is a goal with. with of it face so they went in fast time and i thought certainly looking at this game you could tell there's a lot at stake a lot of pride at stake you could sense it was rivalry between these think tanks and when they came back out of course it wasn't long before they got another goal of think was an equalizer there for him at the end cost i like to see that for
1:32 pm
a very fragile than it was a great match with lots of goals but given everything we did the outcome was not what we expected sometimes the managers we feel a little bit like to be treated by players this season is on the beach sometimes in the heat they're not able to sing. sometimes that is a little bit of the luck of leadership on the pitch because sometimes we are not able to communicate to the second half starts you have to go solid you have to work to try. two creates emotional problems with a team that is losing two one and you give them the chance to get into the game with a battle that made it say to you and then they went ahead with the right strike and man is unstoppable unstoppable you think he knows that this was how he doesn't need to see the ball in in the net to know that is for the flow of the ball is beautiful it's the ball with you used to call the three fingers which is the external part of of the food no chance for the keeper because
1:33 pm
a wall gives an impossible fly for for him and was when. the free kick situation arrived intelligent experience christiana looking for that for the sticky . position that he loves what to play i mean from the first minute until the last minute you always felt he was the man on the totally just just looking at his face you can sense that he's the one out there that my changing and this is. what i used to call. the feeling of the game. the specific intelligence of playing football i saw in train free kicks for hours after training sessions asking one of my assistants put me the wall stay with me give me balls. and he was looking for that he put the freak the ball down and i felt like i was looking at him for about an hour. is running on twenty
1:34 pm
three is not the best on free kicks but this one is a critical one this one is is a crucial point what can affect the self-esteem the self confidence the way to approach the next two to match is the rivalry what it means for the portuguese people that is at home. and it has these little. these little touch these little x. . feeling the final free kick in the dying minutes. talk normal rocks are factors in game but for me the most important factor is. the psychological relation between the take the ball the wall and the ball and in the last minute. recall one point perfectly and that was practically the last kick of the game and when he knew that was the last chance you will have to know
1:35 pm
he's going to be the happy of the two teams here of course spray will have. a different feeling which is a feeling that has three points in the pocket and two of them to fly just in the end but overall i think both teams are happy to know that the point is a good point they know that with five points they both qualify now they can relax a bit more now because the next two matches were different from. a second closer look at how things stand now group a currently looks as follows russia and europe why top the table with three four in the each while egypt and saudi arabia have gets to make a mark in wanting group b. iran at least they took away maximum points are stacked with morocco banks with open goal in stuff which time while portugal and spain each have a point each in france having just beaten in group c. rivals australia it gets three points the other countries in the group peru and
1:36 pm
denmark who play later today. let's take a look at how things look outside the spotlight stadium now alexei jarosz esky joins me live from outside that stadium actually what are the expectations for today's game. it's a massive game big question whether this would be something of a replication of what we saw in sochi last night absolutely central asian game between spain and portugal tonight it's about. argentina against the minors the debutantes iceland seventeenth world cup for the argentinians the last time they want it was thirty two years ago in one thousand nine hundred six although in the previous world cup in twenty fourteen they were wrong as up losing out to germany in extra time and now we are outside spartak moscow stadium i would say this is probably the loudest venue of all twelve world cup stadiums when fans start singing
1:37 pm
there the acoustics are incredible and you might even go deaf from those chants the presence of fans from both sides is massive here but i think argentina's have the dominance a lot of people are still actually looking for tickets around the stadiums because this is very important there's a lot of talk about the so-called messi because that messi is so prolific so successful on the club level but did not go to the international did not win big international bonus this is the start of the journey for messi had his and we spoke . about his thoughts on how to do this on. an issue and really who the national team. will be six this school we believe we have the best player in the world and everything will be great i really like it here i see everything's well organized people are happy inspired we think it'll be a good would come of this and. let's talk about the opposition iceland their
1:38 pm
first ever world cup the surprise package of a euro two thousand and sixteen surprise many beating england of all teams right now they're making their debut in the world cup the. me and it's a big question obviously whether this would go as many bookmakers have predicted argentina win this game or ice. managed to produce yet another upset against a major opposition but we can speculate as much as we want let's hear from the top man one of the best managers in the world because every deal. isn't in the muslims would see an incredible talent against a very very happy team as the kids have to be plays shows help in this and they love to compete so we don't any kind of pressure they're not going to give an easy and this time to argentina but the means the talents lie seem to go into it.
1:39 pm
and we're soon going to be joining our special studio in the heart of moscow so do stay tuned for world cup coverage throughout the day. but another news now russia may be hosting the world's biggest football event but in the run up to the tournament focused in the mainstream media seems to be less on sports and more on politics as polish boy takes a closer look at the world cup and russia has finally kicked off and in case you missed it some idiots still think all this out. hundreds of years ago gave up it and people started kicking it around and in the blink of an eye not so crowded with ball men were being paid five million dollars
1:40 pm
a month to do it and coca-cola was sponsoring it every four years at the wild cup national pride is on the line and where there isn't money and a captive audience you'll also find politicians politicizing this out of it but i'm a priest and been accused of using the tournament as a. showcase and after spending a fortune a billion dollars on it it's a fair bet that he's looking for some decent p.r. tell you it's a good job there stadiums are impressive because their russian team is. england has some of the most know practiced well traditions of all ahead of the tournament the media spends a lot of its time criticizing the host nation using a range of useful and then the perugia that england fans travel to the host nation and destroy a renovated city center the old two. but in truth twenty thousand men this time
1:41 pm
around the british government called for an international boycott of the tournament in a show of defiance over the russian spy and his daughter who were not killed in the celebrate. the cool actually it was just ice that their leaders over france and germany say they probably will go to see their team play but that could be because one of their teams is likely going to the u.s. probably would have joined the boycott by that he's the only guy. who learned in america will be home staying in twenty twenty six and others get to join in even if that crack. the full time needed to make him un security council level threats to his allies in order to win the bid as far as the list of sizing smokers that won is pretty hard to beat as for the players in the fines they've happily traveled to russia seriously believing that they're just going to want some not so.
1:42 pm
we'll be back after this short break stay with us. manufacture consent to the public will. when the ruling class is protect themselves. with the flaming. lips and be the one. making or middle of the room sick. in the. lateral and they lead against property and what happens prices are artificially pumped up and jacked up it's up people can't afford housing to the way to fix the
1:43 pm
housing problem in the u.k. is a take away this fractional reserve banking as property so that prices would come down to the level that is traditionally affordable by the average person in britain. welcome back to the us department of justice has released a highly anticipated report on the f.b.i.'s activities during the twenty sixteen election focuses on former f.b.i. director james komi and his handling of the clinton event investigation but it also reveals details of anti trump messages sent by senior f.b.i. agents who went on to head the trump russia collusion probe but was removed because of the texts. not ever going to become president right right
1:44 pm
no no he won't we'll stop it. apart from that the report also found collusion between the bureau and the media apparently agents received thirteen benefits from reporters in exchange for insider information more pain takes a closer look we now have the long awaited report from the inspector general michael horowitz on the u.s. justice department now the report shows a pretty clear record of collusion between mainstream media and the f.b.i. . we identified instances where f.b.i. employees improperly receive benefits from report says including tickets to sporting events sings drinks and meals and admittance to nonpublic social events we will separate you reports from those investigations as the concluded now there are pretty extensive contacts between the f.b.i. and reporters and furthermore it shows that agents were incentivized to provide
1:45 pm
inside information. we have profound concerns about the volume and extent of on all through media contacts by f.b.i. personnel the we have uncovered during our review seven reporters in direct contact with the f.b.i. over one hundred phone calls you got officials as high up as the assistant director taking time to hobnob with reporters if you read this report you would think that at this point leaking classified information is just not a big deal to the highest law enforcement agency in the land but the f.b.i. had no problem busting james wolf for doing it himself james wall former congressional aide was arrested for allegedly giving information to his girlfriend who was working at the new york times while he was a congressional aide now miss watkins says that the new york times never received any leaks from james wolf and wolf is now facing charges of lying to federal officials. mr hoofs alleged conduct is a betrayal of the extraordinary public trust that had been placed on him. what
1:46 pm
about when f.b.i. agents themselves are the ones providing a steady trickle of information to the press they say it's not a big deal it's just simply a matter of a few bad apples. the report makes clear that we have got some work to do but let's also be clear in the scope of this report it's focused on the specific set of events back in twenty sixteen and a small number of f.b.i. employees connected with those events so what now well i guess another investigation and the possibility of punitive measures it would be shocking to me if the f.b.i. did not act on the inspector general's report and fire some of those officials who are singled out so many not just mistakes from top to bottom but corruption and if there aren't firings the public and it's cynicism towards government and towards business as usual in washington deep in once again we see confirmation of the kind
1:47 pm
of collusion this really is collusion between the f.b.i. and the mainstream journalistic class journalists simply act as megaphones for different government agencies j. edgar hoover the founder and long time director of the f.b.i. very famously said that there is something addictive about a secret mainstream media in the united states would like you to believe it's completely independent and objective furthermore federal agents are supposed to be untouchable and not susceptible to any friendly favors but perhaps they just can't resist. artsy new york. the u.s. government has received funding for a syrian rescue group known as the white helmets the state department says it's releasing six point six million dollars in aid for the continuation of vital lifesaving operations three months ago the trump administration had decided to freeze funding for the rescue organization as part of
1:48 pm
a brutal program of cuts the statement also claims that the white towel may have saved more than one hundred thousand lives in syria well that's despite a series of controversies surrounding the group a small. both have been caught on camera carrying the ice the flag and attending executions by terrorists and some of their alleged rescue videos have turned out to be fake the white helmets only operate in rebel held areas of syria often in close proximity to terrorist groups independent journalist vanessa been told is that most of the claims about the rescue group have not been verified. struggle to find any evidence. for one hundred thousand lives saved and i would very much like to see with the millions that this group are being given by a number of nato member states some form of documentation some form of archiving some form of evidence for these one hundred thousand there is mounting evidence
1:49 pm
against this group the majority of it comes from syrian civilians in the areas that i have and that's a nice aleppo and east group so i have not found one civilian to tell me that the white homeless rescued civilians in fact i've heard the opposite that the way home it's where they're to work as agents for the terrorist groups and to help them. when they're under attack by the syrian arab army and their allies will be back at the top of the hour with our special world cup coverage including see that.
1:50 pm
libraries calculated in five currencies and use worldwide as a reference point in setting many other interest rates shifts of live or can therefore have enormous impact on everything that you borrow the scandal involving manipulation of live war began in april two thousand and eight and fines are related to the case now told over nine billion dollars. while the economic indicators for the u.s. economy are currently strong not all agree on the long term forecast christine legarde the international monetary fund managing director says while the clouds are getting darker every day over the entire global economy related to trade tensions the i.m.f. forecast the u.s. economic growth will not only slow this year as the impact of tax cuts fade but will be at a mere one point four percent pace by twenty twenty three that level is of course much lower than the trumpet ministration is forecast and with sustained economic growth of three percent within five years here to help us assess the economy in
1:51 pm
light of the u.s. federal reserve's raising interest rate decision this week as jeffrey small the president and founder of arbor financial jeffrey thank you for being with us at the end of the week we sure appreciate it a lot of folks expected the interest rate increase but there was more news from the fed that they forecasted they're going to do several more interest rate hikes during the rest of the year what's your take. well they've increased the fed funds rate seven times since two thousand and fifteen and the economy is on fire right now i mean the government spending one hundred billion dollars a month more than it collects and there's hundreds of billions of dollars pouring back in the united states because of the trompe an economy part yeah they have they have done a good job there's no there's no denying that the economy is pretty much on fire in a good way and balancing that at the fed has been they've done a good job overall with both the chair yellen and now with j.p. paul with regard to interest rates jeffrey the consumer price index came out this week showing that it had the increase the fastest in in six years the fastest pace
1:52 pm
in six years and overall u.s. retail sales were the best in the past six months how are consumers going to react to interest rate hikes and things like housing where we saw a new construction increases back in april and on other major purchases like automobiles or trucks well sure what we're going to see bart in the future here in the short term future we're going to see things like mortgages and credit cards and car loans actually start to have to charge more because interest rates are going up and so the current threshold really for construction of new homes really is around six percent we see mortgage rates had six percent we kind of hit the wall today we're around four and a half percent on a thirty year mortgage and so right now which is kind of a pen prick to the average consumer's pocket as we saw yesterday consumerism is running rampant people are spending more than they have in years if you were advising maybe your customers or even your neighbors jeffrey they are thinking about buying a house within the next year would you say by now. i absolutely would say by now if
1:53 pm
they're going to be in the house for five years or longer if they're if they're not going to be in the house for five years or longer than they really need to wait until the rate cycle peaks and see if actually the market starts to correct a little bit here over the next twelve to eighteen months very interesting and how do you think that this you heard my headline maybe about all the trade and terror war talk going on do you think there's going to be an ultimate impact on the economy i guess it's a little bit too early to tell right now but what are your what are your thoughts we're really not seeing the effect of the trade war in the in the general economy yet it's going to be really a pen prick in the short term but we see the stock market starting to react and today the dow was down on the make on the major market indexes more than any other ones and so i suspect that will occur but we're we're united states people will get hurt as the farmers because we export so much farming products to china that's really where the tariffs are going to be here for the in the short term until we see what happens in the long term and what do you think are some of the other economic indicators that we should be looking at piece of the economy now and what
1:54 pm
you'll be looking at in the next few months that might be indicative of growth throughout the year well i think the stock market really has a has a really good idea what's going are good pulse on what will happen with the economy going forward if the market tends to drop out of dampen consumerism if the market keeps expanding that will increase consumerism and we'll keep increasing debt even though we seem to be having debt peaks at this point in time borrowed i mean yesterday we had a global debt figure of an all time record of two hundred and thirty seven trillion globally and a large amount of that is domestic debt as well and so we're coming to the end of the debt cycle so consumers want to be aware of potential debt bomb at some point in their future jeffrey we really appreciate you being here at the end of the week thank you so much you're always informative for our viewers jeffrey small president and founder of arbor financial thank you for being with us. thank you for.
1:55 pm
our she's new deal of charity has looked at the business and future of garbage which is not only fascinating but some of it is quite disconcerting manila philistine all of these posters on what you found is pretty amazing hey there weren't so i'm literally here to talk trash i know it's almost a passe proposition to use that slogan reduce recycle reuse as we all know from the eighty's but. it's the fact that the newly found middle class across brics nations as well as the middle class here in america we are now producing three times more trash than we did just a decade ago globally so you can see in this graph according to the e.p.a. the little triangles indicate that since one thousand nine hundred sixty americans have steadily increased how much trash each household throws out and the type of trash we're putting out looks something like this it's a lot of paper products which could really be recycled but guess what it's not it's
1:56 pm
getting thrown out a lot of food waste could also be composted but again it's simply not and tons and tons of plastic the data is similar with other westernized countries like those in europe and australia globally we're putting out tens of millions of tons of trash every single day so according to the world bank by the year two thousand and twenty five it's going to cost nearly three hundred seventy five billion dollars annually to deal with that amount of trash so what's in store for us in the future for example right now in europe some municipalities are turning to desperate measures saying they'll just ban plastic cutlery from restaurants and stores etc no more straws so your takeaway meals will have to be consumed somehow that might be a boon for the wooden cutlery business maybe japan they create about one third less trash than the average american while live. and similar g.d.p. levels per person but because their twit territory is significantly smaller than
1:57 pm
the us japanese municipalities use trash shaming as a means of prevention so your trash is only accepted for collection in clear bags so your neighbors can see if you're not doing your part in recycling or composting and things of that nature and here in north america google's parent company alphabet is looking into a high tech way to deal with the mounting rubbish sidewalk labs that alphabet smart city are they're working on ways to monitor your trash output smart trash cans might be a thing of the future at present most municipalities in the western world charge you and your neighbor the same trash collection fee for that universal sized bin that they provide every house however you might produce far less trash than your neighbor but guess what you're paying the same price for that collection in the future technology from folks that alphabet might help municipalities charge people by the pound of trash they produce and even for what kind of trash you're putting
1:58 pm
in the bin so bart smart trash bins that can perhaps scan what you drop in the privacy advocates find this a bit troubling but you know that's an argument for a different day they're calling this surveillance capitalism by way of rubbish but hey this may very well be the future of trash surveillance capitalism that i got you know i was throwing a limited apartment and i was throwing with my grandson trash down the chute from the floor that is where does it go and so it goes into the center of the earth when it comes up as lava in hawaii now if that were the case that might be a good remedy that's not the case and i think too often you know we're stuck with ya figuring out is more lest you talk about recycling and if you recycled maybe that gives people a sense that you know it's ok that i'm have so much waste because i recycle that's not necessarily case that is actually a. myth slogan be damned even though recycling efforts by us individuals have really shot up over the past few decades it's even become hip it's
1:59 pm
a thing that you that everyone does now some top scientists are saying that this might even be the reason a lot of americans are producing more garbage because they're justifying their justifying the trash output because they're recycling now meanwhile packaging is getting more and more elaborate materials are getting cheaper so surprisingly recycling in many instances have been been not been able to really set the amount of trash we're putting out fantastic report thank you so much with all that and time now for a quick break but herring here because when we return conservative commentator steve mauls burgard y.o.y.o. media will give us their take on the new media landscape in light of the a t. and t. time warner deal being approved and comcast putting in a bid for twenty first century fox plus the founder and c.e.o. of troll mark still reports which helps us take a look at the business of golf as the u.s. open golf championship is underway and as we go to break here the numbers of the closing bell already arrows on the big board everything is down but when you start

. and as we reported yesterday in light of a t. and t. time warner is decision this week by a federal judge who ruled that the mega merger could go forward comcast has offered a sixty five billion dollars deal all cash for twenty first century fox the bid set up a fight with the walt disney company which also seeks to acquire fox here to take it all on its conservative t.v. radio host steve malzberg and lionel lionel media thanks to both of you for being with us at the end of this week steve the media landscape is changing in a way we have never seen what does it mean for businesses and for consumers. well you know i think the decision in the time warner eighty and t.k. said the judge just summarily dismissed every single argument that the department of justice had and i think it speaks volumes we're in such an ever changing constantly changing media landscape that this that that particular merger and others that are might follow are really
2:05 pm
a battle for those companies to grow and survive not to monopolize i mean you could who really sits in front of the t.v. that much anymore you tube has a billion viewing hours a month you have facebook and google dominate two thirds of the online advertising you have programs that i never even heard of that people constantly say to me or just see this and you see that it's either on netflix or one of the other services so the idea that there could be a monopoly and people have to have to watch c.n.n. and h.b.o. and they're going to raise the prices on these poor people is ridiculous we don't even know where all this is going but the future is unlimited and it's constantly changing. line of what's your take on all of this. we're looking at something that cannot possibly be. explained or emphasized enough we're going from the buggy whip to particle physics and were it not for this particular deal had judge leon said no had he said we are not going to and anyway and by the way i never wrote dark
2:06 pm
times though i have lived it but here's the thing you would have never been able to go from one extreme to the other without this merger we're seeing something right now it's all going to be streaming it's going to be streaming everything right now sticks and tennis all of that is going to go by the wayside and what a.t.t. represents are millions and millions of consumers that for example netflix and others go directly to table what's that cue the crickets. this is beyond explication and i'm not even in any way exaggerating on this well that may be why steve you know disney is also going after after fox and does the c.e.o. robert iger as essentially we don't wage his future in winning that media war and and there might be somewhat of a corporate grudges as you know dating back to two thousand and four when comcast actually tried to acquire disney what do you make of that one steve. well you know
2:07 pm
they came to kind of a tentative agreement from the reports of disney and fox and then comcast came in and contest you know has lost in previous attempts in the past one of them you alluded to so they really need a win here and i don't think they're going to stop but on the other hand as you correctly point out does they need this content they need the movie studio for their future plans so it's going to be a battle royale going forward without without a doubt but you know it's going to be interesting to see what the department of justice does if one of when when one of these companies griese with comcast because this is not a strictly vertical merger as a t.n.t. time warner this is more horizontal they both are competitors and they're both going to form again you know a bigger company again i hope it goes through whatever it is but i think the justice department definitely think might still appeal the eighteenth tee time
2:08 pm
warner but i think they'll definitely fight the comcast disney or the fox disney merger you know we had an attorney andre barlow who is a regular on the program and he was in the courtroom every single day on this and he's just said what you did steve that you know this is going to have to be real litigator that it was really sort of a silo decision with regard to time warner in a t. and t. why no how does the u.k. sky news figure into all of this that people want that one to. well i think this is a harbinger part of what's happening around the world though their regulatory scheme is a little bit more interesting they're more content content sensitive you almost have to plead your case your your your viability and the propriety of your of your corporation that's by the way many people believe that fox news has believe it or not damped down some of its more outrageous aspects in order to comport with this but be not mistaken and i can't say this enough if you don't allow these mergers
2:09 pm
steve's absolutely correct this is horizontal it has to be because you have different components cable is not going to exist anymore that's going by the wayside phone companies going to be delivery systems content content is king think about this netflix is bigger than disney netflix and they laughed at that netflix hulu amazon google they changed the complete battleground of this everything that's all that is ancient we haven't even seen what's going to happen in the immediate future part this is cataclysmic can you sensed it and i could i could sense the urgency line oh hey i need a ten second answer from both of you news breaking this afternoon oprah winfrey signing a deal with apple to compete against netflix and amazon ten second steve go. i guess you're not running for president lionel what do you say it. goes to show you the future apple and not

2:11 pm
was many many years ago and it had a big surgeons in the u.s. is what they call the big five and of course that was gary player i'm jack nicklaus on the you know obviously he was playing all that time with all of palma and with lee trevino told once that it was huge that was because of the advent of television it became this mass sport that even though everybody could afford to play it they all watched what out there affected television have when tiger woods came on to the stage it was two thousand and three and that's when golf industry had its big boom now they talk about all these young guns there's a lot more interest one tiger is back although not at the moment in the u.s. open he's not even probably going to make the cot but it's the young guns as a lot of interest in jordan speed than index players those others jordan the review yes and i think a lot of them they actually they grew up watching tiger they were inspired rory mcilroy. actually grew up an island of course with a lot of rain and lousy weather and he actually purportedly would chip go falls into the washing machine when his mother well was it wasn't washing things and she
