i saw nigerians typically strong african country but i was disappointed so. let's move on to prepare for this will be a brazil city did a good thing i did my civic did look good so i told me to be in my position is that i was not thinking that sort of it was going home i was wishing that sort of it was going home which is a different thing because i want i want my man to go on on a holiday you could see that when switzerland got to point against brazil obviously they can get three against costa rica probably they can get one against serbia and then if they go to five. my prediction can steal can still go with brazil and and switzerland. let's move on bank

and germany i think is going to qualify would six points. and and mexico has a big chance now to qualify even with five so you from mexico doesn't lose against three of them which is very possible and doesn't lose against south korea which is very possible all lose one but when the other ones we choose also normal as in mexico but if i would five or six points and i don't believe that we are going to have a football scandal we jam on the going home so i think my prediction will be correct i. owe. finally you being with us what a five day it is your last day today. just tell us what if we knew your impressions

of moscow and also to welcome. the. fear in the city amazing and you know where we are just in the most iconic place in the city where everybody is coming i can imagine. started to nationalities probably even more on the streets that mysterious fantastic that the city is beautiful the weather is amazing i was to do i have to believe that is the best to do in in every endeavor television present amazing experience for me but now i need a little bit of work and need a little bit of holiday but i will be back. with our tea for semifinals and finals and one of my days no stand to support it games was the clash between england and tunisia the three lions scored a last gasp winner with captain harry kane sliding in injury time all of i was at

the game for us belief which is i think as we can now see the happiness people are very very pleased certainly england fans very pleased with that when. the largest body of english found the loudest crowd of english fans was right behind that goal it's behind that goal we hurricane school that went on in that ninety minutes. that's really good to feel like it when fans yes there we go what's it been like hope you found the i was going to hand off shop first how to sure i was told don't bring your phone because they'll toughing tell you i mean you've heard everything. i would say to people so go and find out for yourself you know politicians we let them get into with a good attitude they were generous and i just want to come watch for fools people at this festival of russia the movement from what i've seen up in it since. anyone

who will feel good on them is doing well we started the job we came in and we just found we would be super friendly brand new stadium fantastic atmosphere fantastic people. have decided to use you guys have been very impressive very large very vocal were in with you and. are really sort of wrote to the user to loose no hope for the second game for the second game pushed a little. and of course england work up today still buzzing from the team's injury time victory last night against his party boy with the reaction from the press but he celebrates three headlines here across the board lots of pundits on the radio talking about the young england team look at that harry k. the man of the match on all the front pages i'm going to losing these papers here on all the front pages of the newspapers this morning all the pundits talking about how the team can improve going forward and i saw a few stories especially in the run up to the match about how the hosts in

volgograd how they had been welcoming england fans with open arms and how the fans there had been outnumbered by tunas ians but apparently the russian hospitality was there for everyone to see now one particular headline that i enjoyed was this one world cup twenty eighteen it says england fans praise welcome by russian hosts as they celebrate when and there's a quote from an england fan that says i was speaking to a russian ultra or he would do with me thank you very good way to the russian ultras that we've heard so much about the run up to this world cup behaving themselves for a change so contrary to a lot of the predictions everything seems to have gone off without a glitch and some very celebrated we had lines here in the british media this morning. meanwhile some of the brazilian players have both some potential accept the changes to their training kids as things they enjoy

a bad time on the pitch while picking the board around the totem unfavorite saw warming up ahead of the game with costa rica on friday. we will of course be bringing you all of the world cup highlights over the coming hour or so day stay with us for that. advice for many plops over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch put a funnel school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money killed in a row has been spending to get to the twenty million one player. it's an experience like nothing else going to be true so i want to share what i think what i know

about the beautiful game but great so what will chance with. the base it's going to. seem wrong when all rolls just don't call. me but he's yet to stamp out disdain comes out of him and in games from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back to our world headlines now donald trump announced plans to establish the branch of the armed forces dealing with space warfare is currently overseen by

the u.s. air force trauma claims america needs a bigger presence up among the stars are to scale of more pretty reports. the usa already has the army the navy the coast guard the marine corps and there's the u.s. air force but donald trump says that there's one potential conflict zone that's been too long neglected very importantly i'm here by directing the department of defense and pentagon to establish a space force as the sixth branch of the armed forces it's a big state and a new division of the u.s. military dedicated to waging extraterrestrial battles and when it comes to finding a name for it hollywood is full of inspiration. now the youth of tomorrow must travel across the stars to defend. because.

the company. let's see if we can get some new ideas from the streets of new york. could be anything to nail color space court to us since face forced us store elite force twitter has gone wild ever since donald trump made the announcement folks online or even taking a stab at designing the logo but here's a question who exactly will the space forces be fighting against you know up in the great beyond. it's not enough that we're fighting with everybody that loves us when i would fight in space. and less space. in the elevator probably not but nothing outside aliens wise you get a fine you know life outer space trump says this won't just be any intergalactic

fighting force it will be number one when it comes to defending. it is not enough to merely have in american presence in space we must have american dominance in space so important now if hollywood has taught us anything it's that trump is going to have plenty of competitors to look up and r.t. new york. it's been six years since the wiki leaks chief julian assange and and to the ecuadorian embassy in london and he hasn't left since a song sought refuge there to avoid being extradited to sweden over sex crime charges in a case that later dropped but he fears he could still be extradited to the u.s. artie's an associate looks at the twists and turns of this ongoing saga. it's been a deadlocked case that stretched on and on today marks six years since the wiki

leaks chief julian assange stepped foot into the ecuadorian embassy in london and has not left since that's over twenty one hundred days cooped up behind those walls the main reason his biggest fear us or tell you should for weiqi leaks exposing information that those running the show in washington would prefer to have kept under wraps. julian assange is a terrorist he should be treated as an enemy combatant with you and should be closed down promoting indecisively disguise a traitor a treasonous and he has broken every law the united states the guy ought to be shot i'm not for the death penalty so if i'm not for the death penalty i want to do it

illegally shoot the son of a wiki leaks walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service ignorance or misplaced idealism is no longer an acceptable excuse for a lionizing these demons in these last six years a lot has happened the original swedish investigation into sexual assault allegations against a songe has come and gone international organizations such as the un have called his detention arbitrary and demanded his release concerns have been raised multiple times about his deteriorating health including in london court rooms the son his legal team has made appeal after appeal for him to be guaranteed secure passage if he were to walk out of a quick dorian territory onto british soil but to no avail he's still wanted by british authorities for breaching bail conditions when he initially stepped foot into the embassy a songe worries if he walks out he'll be sent straight to the u.s. history. isn't has always been about the risk of extradition to united states and

that risk remains real nobody can credibly deny that really interest them or julian assange was granted a quid or even citizenship raising his hopes that his story was finally going somewhere but that hasn't happened either ecuador's new president who took office last year has indicated that he's no frown of a songe speaking out about politics while under his roof demanding that the journalist and publisher does not exceed the limits of free speech since march saunders access to the internet and other forms of communication have been caught in the us chilled office of course you have made a very respectful remark to mr sunshine. doesn't allow him to talk about the politics of any country let alone ours. it looks increasingly like julian assange just threatening to stay his welcome at the ecuadorian embassy which means the direction of this lengthy saga will head next it's probably more uncertain now the network and archie one. human rights activist craig murray believes it's unlikely julian or stange will ever walk free from the ecuadorian embassy what we're seeing

is extremely shameful we're seeing pressure being brought to bear on ecuador by the united states by spain and by various conservative motivated countries in order to silence potentially imprison one of the editors and journalists of our time who has contributed massively to public knowledge all the signs are that the united states intends to extradite assange as soon as he is able to leave the embassy and this charges of espionage which is an extremely serious offense and it's quite extraordinary. that somebody who was simply published information given them to information of enormous public interest to put into the public domain the country which. historically has claimed to be the champion to free speech seeks to

bring that kind of highly political persecution against the publisher and the web out with the latest the top of the hour see that. this is harlan kentucky. the boy says you could walk through st fanny's. a co money city with almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the coal miners the said i'd. love to see these people the survivors of a world disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger

that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's happening it's happened. when lawmakers manufacture consent instead of public wealth. when the ruling classes project themselves. in the final merry go round the certainly the one percent. nor middle of the room six. million real new.

this is boom bust broadcasting around the world from here in washington d.c. thank you so much for tuning in and hanging out with us i'm bart chilton coming up normally conservative groups in the united states supporter of republican president are opposing the way donald trump is handling his trade wars will get the latest from trade expert alex heil a bitch in toronto and china expert caleb moppin from our new york studio plus we talk crip those with the c.e.o. of zap dot org nick's spannaus and it seems that global auto industry news is jammed up with so much going on including a terrible chessplayer accident incident we'll tell you about and you're going to want to hear what the car coach has to say lauren fix first we take off with a few headlines. leading the news today corporate earnings are set for

a significant slowdown after your market bull run of profit growth earnings grew at twenty five percent in the first quarter of the year while a growing number of analysts expect it to taper off in the coming quarters perhaps down into the single digit growth per next quarter factors in the mix that produce the forecast include the fading of the financial sugar rush delivered by the trump tax cuts the prospect of further trade troubles and the federal reserve's clear signals to expect for interest rate hikes this year some on the other side of the debate say the historically low unemployment shows the u.s. economy fundamentals are still very good we'll see which forecast prevails. as u.s. mega banks seem primed to pay out record dividends the federal reserve is prepared to release a guidance on exactly how much they can put in the pockets of shareholder. without endangering the nation's financial systems barclays research says the twenty two

largest banks are expected to pay one hundred seventy billion dollars in dividends this year if that level is reached it would be the largest dividend payout since the financial crisis of two thousand and eight the shadow of two thousand and eight looms large as the first around the federal reserve famed stress tests on banks will be announced this week the first round looks at whether a bank can handle a crisis the second round looks at the bank's capital management plan which includes dividend payouts and judges whether the bank's plan can move forward the tests were post two thousand and eight reforms meant to give clear warning of systemic risk and prevent another crisis or even financial collapse analysts at top market watching firms do not expect the dividend plans to receive much pushback from the federal reserve under the new leadership of chairman jay powell. president donald trump's trade policies are now coming in for criticism from two pillars of support for his republican party on friday both the business roundtable and the

u.s. chamber of commerce raise red flags over the impact of chinese retaliation and the prospect of further escalations the business roundtable a group of corporate c.e.o.'s posted a statement opposing president trump's recent imposition of tariffs on fifty billion dollars of chinese imports to the u.s. walks pressing sympathy for some of president trump's complaints about china's trade policies perhaps the round table opposed what they called quote the administration's misguided focus on temporarily reducing america's trade deficit with china through goods purchased the trump a bit of traction previously attempted to float a package of supposedly chinese promises to buy more from the u.s. as they gain from a confrontation only to see if chinese the chinese deny such commitments the chamber of commerce president tom donahue toady similar line saying this is not the right approach and in that regard we now move to. trade war and today we focus on china as we were just discussing and the united states to help us out we're joined

by our t's correspondent alex moe hile of it's a trade effort from toronto and from our new york studio artie's chinese experts caleb op and thank you both for joining us fellas alex let's start with you give us some detail on what the business round table in the chamber are saying it's the same business people that we're loving the tax cuts and loving the deregulation are not loving the tariffs against china so much because they say that retaliatory tariffs from china are going to hurt a multitude of industries in the states including manufacturing farming and of course consumers in general now we have one guy here and this man really stands out when his voice is heard i think we've got to listen we're talking about gary cohn he's a former head of the national economic council he was working with closely with the truck been astray should and what he has said is that this was just last week that a trade war could wipe out all those booms that we were just talking about from businesses or for businesses from the tax abuse they were getting so this one

cancels out the other talking across the board here when you're hearing from the business world in the states what people are saying is yes we do want fair trade with china we don't believe it's fair but at the same time putting us into a trade war with china is not the way to go it's going to hurt americans as well as the chinese and maybe even the americans more kaleb put a finer point on what alex is saying there i mean that it's not necessarily the policies of the chinese that the trump administration has a problem with it's the practice of these tariffs etc what are the legitimate concerns that you believe are out there with regard to china. well bart let's back up for a minute now the idea of a tariff in theory is to protect american jobs in american companies right that the idea is going to give preferential treatment to the domestic manufacturers protect american jobs but if you take a look at this tariff we've got over one thousand two hundred product lines from

china that are being targeted take a specific look at what's being hit they're heading out of the devices involved in nuclear power they're hitting aircraft navigation systems these are things we barely produce ourselves here in the united states if you look at it this isn't exactly about protecting american jobs and it has a lot more to do with punishing china if you look at it you know president xi in china has been really pushing investment into research and development pushing new technology you know high level technology products trying to advance and he's reached out to the united states and said let's do it jointly let's have joint ventures joint projects to develop new technology and it's pretty clear i mean donald trump actually mentioned the made into a made in china twenty twenty five program when he made the announcement it's pretty clear that this is an intent to to kind of punish china for their investment into research and development essentially in the white house you know and in the trade council you've got peter navarro you've got robert litan hisor and these guys

are professional anti china agitators before they were in the trumpet ministration and in politics they were giving lectures and talking against china they've made a career out of talking against china and talking against them on the global markets unfortunately it seems like our commander in chief has the ear of these rather fanatical individuals with an axe to grind but kaleb i mean they do still the chinese have stolen intellectual property and as a condition of moving to china u.s. companies do have to sell off give part of the companies to china i mean heck if we went to canada where alix's and the canadian said no you've got to give us part of your country company we've said that's bogus that's not happened so are there legitimate complaints like that. i think these are the issues that need to be negotiated these are the kind of things that president trump and president xi are working to resolve we've seen ongoing conversations about these issues but you know this this tariff i mean it's going to hit all of us here in the united states at

the cash register when we go to check out at the supermarket if we have anything in our in our current that's made in china we're going to end up paying for the i want them aware that quick a let us move to alex alex why don't you talk as you look at this a lot tell us about what caleb say how's it going to impact consumers at the cash register. if you look at the big picture you're talking about these tariffs is really a minuscule part of the trillions of dollars that are traded but when it comes to the consumer this is the trickle down that you'll see and it's for every day goods i look tronics t.v.'s really the only the lights that we use now in t.v.'s manufacturers in china there's a lot of goods i mean you're shopping at wal-mart or anywhere else prices will go up and guess what i think we've seen things like this before when prices go up even if the tariffs go away shops to want to drop their prices any more they get to make a little bit more a couple more dollars there and i say that's going to happen for sure but it's one of those things consumers need to be afraid of there's a bigger picture here though in the states it's not just what you're going to see

what how much more and how many more dollars you're going to pay because of these tariffs tariffs cause disruption and especially when you have this back and forth constantly this retaliation the threat of a trade war you're disrupting markets period you're making investors nervous when you make investors nervous you're affecting your economy when you're affecting your economy and you could put it into a recession or if just growth itself would just stocks it could be some type of stagnation and he way that you turn it around it's not good for the people of the united states because you can have inflation and inflation is not a good thing if it's going to grow any more than it's growing it's then that's what something like this can do if you have a trade war and that's the worst case scenario yeah that's going to be bad for everyone but. even these type of talks di stabilize the market and that should be a beast major concern at this point we know this isn't happening till july the sixth though of course it could be negotiations but even talks like this we've seen the ripple effect up to now just with these threats that have come into place never

mind tariffs actually going into place themselves and caleb talking about that impact and you have to consider the source here but richard lui the founder and c.e.o. of j.p. dot com that large chinese e-commerce company one of the largest online retailers by transaction volume in the country they say this isn't going to help the united states should we just assume this is coming from a chinese company and not be right but what's his point. well if you hit an economic superpower like china you can expect that they're going to hit back now we've already seen a response in terms of tariffs our agricultural sector we've been selling food to china and you know exporting our food they've been buying it well they've already been hit but now there is talk on the chinese side of hitting us in the energy markets right china is a top purchaser an importer of american oil american natural gas now there's talk that china might respond by hitting us in the energy markets and let's step back for a minute you know the way that china has approached this what they're made in china

twenty twenty five has been let's cooperate china says you know they're going to invest in new technology research technological breakthroughs they want to bring american companies in on it they want to do it in a win win way where both of us american companies and chinese companies can get richer in the process and we'll make new scientific breakthroughs but it seems like the you know punishing china for made in china twenty twenty five is going to have the opposite effect it's not going to be win win it's going to be lose lose we're going to lose out china's going to lose out but how much is china really going to lose out let's keep in mind because at this point china's got the whole world to trade with you know you know they're not exactly dependent on the united states to keep their economy with it's not holding it world in their hand kaleb absolutely you're right i want to quick move we only got about a minute left alex caleb mentioned energy how do you think this might impact the energy industry us energy and industry you cover this a lot well you know the kill beaten are excellent point there when you're looking at oil let's bring up a graph right away give you a good idea of where the u.s.

stands here look the u.s. when it comes to oil exports has has grown exponentially its beat out saudi arabia as number two in the past couple of years we've seen this energy industry just sort and when you're talking about china this is according to shipping data from thomas reuters i can u.s. crew to get this this these are huge numbers crude oil shipments to china have soared in value recently jumping from just one hundred million per year per month i should say in early two. thousand and seventeen we're looking at a billion dollars per month now that's huge oil industry has already been hit here we're seeing stocks of exxon going down from last friday for of chevron and just think now you're going to have russia and the saudis open up those pumps a little bit more they're going to open their taps oil prices are going to go down this is not what the u.s. wanted to see and china has other people to fill the gap yes they do and one of those countries happens to be you ran and you know that's going to get a wrister dong trump skin for sure but we appreciate so much you guys taking time

we're better informed because of the arctic correspondence alex my highly bitch and caleb bop and thank you both for your time thank you. and time now for a quick pause for the promotional cause but hang here because when we return we'll talk with the c.e.o. of zap dot org nick spann host plus lauren fix the car coach is back and we'll get up to speed on the auto industry news including tesla that some say turned into a flame thrower you heard correctly as we go to break here are the numbers at the closing bell mixed day on the stock but this point is notably up four percent for the day as we went to air above sixty seven hundred dollars we'll be right back. join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to guess what.
