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 bid 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 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 is necessarily going to be great but the landscape is changing and nobody can do anything to change it it's going to happen it's setting up everybody is worried and scared of netflix like i should always. thanks for having me. and now we move to air b.n. b. the home sharing company which operates around the world and has since two thousand and eight when it began to really transform the way millions of people take their trips is run into a pretty big problem in japan and rentals have dropped sixty percent r.t.

a lot of us and it should artie's alex mohai levin 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 little place called whitefish and that foundation has to be happens to be in cahoots with a company called how little bit are yours you scratch my back if i'll scratch 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 we 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 well this happens to be a question about white fish montana 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 howl of burton chairman and he's backing a development 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 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. 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 swirl kinds of stuff up and down there and he told the ethics committee that his holdings that he had which are certain holdings that he have to divest that he divested these holdings now these 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 the whole 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 a down spokesperson for mr wilbur says the secretary did not lie well if the law is not telling a lie is 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 facts right that they got 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.

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 ali 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 have dropped in the first quarter of two thousand and eighteen investment levels were a four hundred eighty two million pounds less according to 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 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 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 are down investment is down in the area and basically not seeing the type of growth that investors would have initially anticipated so those property investors will be 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 our 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 means to live the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is

found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying the is just no way to present and that we're even many of the times families want the death 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. to. go to war the philosophy being what because. that's what i mean i well me and my.
