long for viewing shows not only through television and movies but also in the internet and disney wants to control more of that charging for to view it on their or programming and that's why it is it is a good deal to buy to buy fox and they can again have the studios be able to create even more movies and pictures and that's where the money is so they can charge those prices to get into express more interested to get at the parks or they have the characters they have the parades with the characters they make all the theme park and the rides with the characters that's what disney does really well so people pay for it they're following the money i want to look at. how they're doing how do you start doing that stock is down to it's very interesting the stocks that are trying to take over these companies with the exception of disney are down so eighteen team which is taking over time warner stock is down stock going to down trying time warner's up you have comcast that stock is down stock is a down trend since they put the bit in it's still down compared to disney disney is the only stock that put a bid in for another one of these multimillion companies that is up in the chart up
5:01 am
in the price since all this news came out disney looks great this is a buy expect to see to come back with something to compete against comcast for that but i'll tell you one quick thing bart before we go all of this is going to mean less and less companies in the future of the companies are going to get bigger and fatter and bigger but as a consumer don't necessarily think that you're going to get to pay less it's going to be where the fact is you have two or three big huge mega don companies and you they may be trying to present price gouge people or control the content so from a consumer's perspective i don't think that this is necessarily a good idea and from a media landscape perspective you have less people putting less ideas out there so i don't think it's really great it's great if you happen to own stocks and the stop is getting the pop it's great if you own stock in disney those are great buys but as far as overall for consumer even if you're in the television industry i don't think this. it's necessarily going to be great but the landscape is changing and

5:10 am
circumstances a circumstance especially for me who served in government for thirty years when government officials or politicians behave badly but it doesn't change the fact that when we learn about backroom deals and people lying under oath it gets under the skin of a lot of us and it should artie's alex mann joins us to talk about the latest couple of culprits who just happen to be members of president trump's cabinet jeez louise alex it looks like interior secretary ryan zinke he may be involved in some shady business what can you tell us on that one. you know bart i've been doing this for a long time and i've seen this at the municipal the provincial the federal level the state level every level you can imagine when you comes to politicians there's always a couple of stinkers and there happens to be a couple in the trumpet ministration it looks like this time around well we know that's the interior secretary mr soucie in talking about him while you know him and his wife set up a beautiful foundation there from montana of the blue place called whitefish and that foundation has to be happens to be in cahoots with a company called how little that are yours you scratch my back if i'll scratch
5:11 am
yours type of thing going on here how the burden we've heard of how the burden has to be it is the u.s. is biggest oil service company halliburton somebody that you know might want the interior ministry to help them drill in places they weren't drilling before and maybe with regulations when it comes to drilling for oil so you see where i'm going with this now the scratch your back back to the interior minister and his wife all this happens to be a question about white fish want to know which is this town now is a really hip if you've got money and if you want to go traveling vacationing this is a place you want to go there's a development going on there and guess who's backing that development the development is backed by david lesser who is the house of burton chairman and he's backing the developments in this town a town which the interior minister the secretary and his wife have wanted to put a microbrewery in for a very long time and it just happens that this development has
5:12 am
a microbrewery that has a special space just for them to put that in there on top of that this is the interior secretary also and this is the interesting part they have given space for to the developer to the lesser back developer lesser we're talking the hauber guy for a parking lot in a project that was in a space that was given to their foundation for a veterans peace park so they're going to build a parking lot there and on the other side of this project to project because what they have they have some lead that's going to go up in value. if this development happened so i think we have a little bit of it right here it's shameful now let's talk a little bit about the commerce secretary wilbur ross he's also under the microscope for some shifty and shady business and what's going on with that alex ok well mr ross when he came into power when they brought him up there you of course have to go in for the government ethics committee he swore all kinds of stuff up and down there and he told the committee that his holdings that he had which are certain holdings that he have to divest that he divested these old stuff these
5:13 am
holdings happened to be in coots with the government of china with a russian company as well as a bank in cyprus that happens to be under investigation by mr mueller so you can see whoa whoa he's things are not really above board now he pledged that he got rid of all these assets and he actually did but after the fact after promising that he didn't that he ready divested this was all after the fact and it sent seems to me that his family silk continues to do business with these foreign entities down spokes person for mr wilbur says the secretary did not lie well if a lie is not telling lies telling something different a little bit later changing things around later after you told a lie and now it's not a lot i'm confusing myself even here because i think everybody will confuse when it comes down to this this is just a mess a lie is a lie is a lie and that's what happened in this case as well you know there's also alternate
5:14 am
facts right there that they got to clean up that they got the patent on alternate facts are key correspondent alex my hile a bit tough news but we thank you for bringing it to us thank you. and in the u.k. the number of debit card payments surpassed the number of cash for the first time in twenty seventeen bank trading group u.k. finance says debit transactions last year rose fourteen percent over the previous year to thirteen point two billion while cash payments fell by fifteen percent to thirteen point one billion u.k. finance says cutting edge of cashless transactions contactless payments of which cards are devices are placed near readers played a big role in the historic shift accounting for five point six billion of those thirteen billion debit transactions and fifteen percent of all payments u.k. finance predicts countless payments will increase to thirty six percent of all
5:15 am
payments within ten years driven higher by the preferences of younger consumers and london real estate prices the fallen for the first time in nearly a decade despite gains in every other region across england prices went down in the past year by an average of nearly five thousand pounds meanwhile the once large and renowned purchasing a real estate in the city of london by chinese and hong kong investors has slowed r t correspondent isa alit tells us why concerns in the u.k. property market and in particular the london markets as investments from chinese and those based in hong kong has dropped in the first quarter of two thousand and eighteen investment levels were four hundred eighty two million pounds of supporting two cushman and wakefield profits the consultants now if you compare that to seven billion pounds during two thousand and seventeen that's a significant drop in the significant fact there are several factors which perhaps
5:16 am
contribute to why those chinese and hong kong invest is putting as much money. that's the lowest level since two thousand and fifteen one of the main concerns is they're waiting to see what will happen with briggs it the u.k. getting ready to leave the european union and there are been concerns persisting since the regs vote here in the u.k. in june of twenty sixteen as to exactly investors and investors holding back their capital as they wait to see what happens but actually in the immediate wake of that vote the pound dropped a nut saw an initial surge in foreign investors plowing money into london property but that seems to be slowing down a little bit as people wait to see what kind of shape the final deal will take now another point perhaps worth pointing out is chinese regulators they've been taking
5:17 am
more steps in recent months to try to stop outbound flows of capital from china going to various capitals around the world including london so that perhaps is making those investors will make it more difficult for those investors to send them money outside of china and in fact there are reports that many of those investors are now selling up as they seek to bring those profits home and perhaps one example of a development which has been suffering as a result of that is paddington it's an area in the west of central london and it recently as over got over seen or seen a billion pounds worth of billions of pounds worth of investment to regenerate the area rentals a down investment is down in the area basically not seeing the type of growth that investors would have initially anticipated so those property investors will be
5:18 am
hoping that the u.k. can secure a good trade deal following brags that and that those prices will continue to rise and investors' money will continue to come in. our thanks to r.t. correspondent is solly for that report and our thanks to you for joining us on the broadcast we'll see you again soon. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it be with the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict respond innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying the is just no way that hasn't been that we hear even many victims' families want the death
5:19 am
penalty to be abolished. the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families what 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. this is says harlan kentucky. over all of these groups the employees the water industry families leave. a co money city with almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the coal was a said. that it was 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

5:23 am
they're apparently going to leave the planet so where we won't miss some will be very happy if they go away people start is that he designs a lot of stuff into. if you go to a film start as i don't i'll stop because of the comfortable life of the bathroom for example is shaped like an inverted pyramid is no place to put your toothpaste on a spaceship with a bunch of other tops and your whining about my toothpaste anywhere and they get into a vicious fight they kill each other they all died out of space stark amongst them it would be fantastic good good well speaking. of people getting rich and a very illegal sort of wrong way here while we've been in ireland we have gone to where some of the stories that happened they came trump some minutes you know just in about falling off a raccoon making it to the roof of. somewhere in america well david drumm guilty verdict all you need to know in two minutes banker faces potentially a long jail term on conspiracy to fraud and up to ten years for false accounting
5:24 am
he's the fifty one year old former banker of anglo-irish we've covered this story remember he fled to the us i think back in two thousand and eight two thousand and nine as the crisis was unfolding in the bank was collapsing and they needed a balance from the taxpayer here and he fled to boston thinking he would escape justice as every his friends here were you know being charged with stuff well they actually date him back from the u.s. and now he's just a trial and he was found guilty by the jury of twelve or thirteen people on the jury and he's been found guilty of fraud they found david working in a suit along goodman better call saul was where he was hiding out. with like what i introduced to the show that the rich are planning on leaving this wretched man that and the planet of course is wretched because of the likes of david john because of the likes of warren buffett because the likes of bill gates because of the likes of ron in our economy because of the likes of lloyds r.b.s.
5:25 am
j.p. morgan citibank through each bank every single bank you can think of that is very big and powerful well we are wretched here on this earth that they are. fleeing and if they flee perhaps we can recover again like a phoenix from the ashes that they have left behind the jury of nine men and three women convicted the one time bank chief executive over a series of circular transactions that made anglos deposits look seven point two billion euros larger than they were in september two thousand and eight he was also found guilty of false accounting in december two thousand and eight when the bank published misleading information to the market showing those fraudulent deposits in the bank's annual financial statements he was found to have conspired with. willie mcateer and john boccieri depositors and investors by dishonestly creating the impression anglo was healthier than it was of course we had in america john course signed who did similar based on what you're reading there in terms of making his bank. his brokerage look more sound than it was and he did not
5:26 am
face any jail time. in the circular transaction. you know of course circular transactions or accounting fraud is the modus operandi for just about every bank in the world a bank clerk for it because it was grievously done and they're very bad at hiding their fraud here in ireland because they're so used to committing fraud and getting away with it that they don't even bother committing fraud. in a way that would be obvious but there are so corrupt here in ireland that they did it in a way that was very. well it was actually a little bit more. the reason why it was so obvious that somebody actually recorded his phone conversations telling them to hide all this bad debt and to make it look they were called the anglo tapes he was recorded on the phone and in that conversation he refers to the central bank in the financial regulator as that f. ing shower of clowns down in dange street but that's probably why if you upset just
5:27 am
like bernie madoff went to prison because he stole from the wrong people here he's like calling these guys clowns and that they should just give the money the central bank needs to give them some money and. and make them whole rather than them having to commit fraud a pretend in the circle and. down the pub just drunk and spilling nonsense to people talking about how the clowns on damn straight other regulate that's the way it's done in ireland for years and then finally somebody decided hey enough of these guys just ripping us off blind the economy is in freefall the housing market collapsed and bondo is still facing taxes in the netherlands but you know he's one of now many who've been sent to prison his his coconspirators have been sentenced to three you know many years in prison why has that not happened in the united kingdom you say that it's uniquely corrupt here but i would say it's the opposite that they've actually gone to prison. i don't say there are uniquely corrupt as i
5:28 am
said they're very uniquely sloppy and corrupt here in ireland in the u.k. they've been corrupt for a thousand years and they've got it down to find signs isaac newton is like one of the most corrupt central bankers to ever miss grace central europe and they have refined it to a very perfect. sloppy corruption in the u.k. that's what people respect for them the most. advanced karate bottlers of corruption or the concierge of global banking corruption and they do a fine job at it but they don't do it here in shantytown ireland that's why john course got away with m.f. global because he did it through london. and the corruption the lehman corruption went through and they didn't come through dublin or damn straight you know bernie madoff to do is corruption today i'm straight games last place you want to do financial products because these idiots like you could end up in jail to go to jail because he's a moron so here's some more people who are going to end up in jail and i'm going to
