i gave them every reason to be happy about it but you know still before the game i spoke to some of the english fans some of them even when i sold them six years ago in kiev and here is what they had to tell me about their aspirations for the world cup so he said coming home. is not cutting. it is it coming home sure are b.o.'s chondroitin oh ya. ya i know. there are other young. so is it coming home will definitely find out in some are when england faces sweden in the quarter finals. hard following england's win over colombia they will meet sweden on july seventh in the quarter final sweden defeated switzerland ten zero in st petersburg earlier on tuesday sending their fans into a friend. who was.
11:31 pm
a little. bit better below the. little. parties daniel hawkins and i saw ali were across that match in russia's northern capital. i. can see the world wherever you're watching from today welcome to a studio in the heart of russia's northern capital for daniel hawkins the sadly we now have the results of today's fast last sixteen clash is official sweden have been switzerland one nil to advance to the quarterfinals for the first time in twenty four years and what a game it was it suddenly get
11:32 pm
a blue fans home well let's take a look at some of the reactions that it was . was. sweden going through to the quarter finals with one nil win over switzerland here in st petersburg and as the swiss ended up eventually ending the game with just ten men now with regards to the goal it came on the sixty sixth minute. to be fed and on the edge of the area he was in space and his shot power was
11:33 pm
slightly weak. of the flexion before going past the keeper that affection coming off manuel kanji and keeper really standing no chance with that now we have all to the group who are with us now consultant in the form of fee for communications director who's actually out big game here listen some petersburg times for joining us what was the atmosphere like what was first of all now the. stadium fantastic friends everything was. sure. the result was not good for sort of course. there was really a fantastic event i don't think it was a top top game. but you know a lot of pressure from both. switzerland hope finally to go to the next day john that they have to wear them over for years to come what do you think of the tournament so far it was as you said perhaps a very tight game not the most exciting in the tournament but overall it's been
11:34 pm
quite interesting on the pitch i have to admit a middle of the people here also journalist former colleagues there were very skeptical critical but after three four days the mood changed people got another view another perception of this country that this part of the country because it's quite big and all of. the so also after the game so the swedish swiss fans you know just talking and pointing out that the good positive thing of this came to there was at least everyone everybody in the darkest corner of kentucky and ohio know the world is switzerland and the world to sweden the swedish or the yellow ones who are qualified and they're the ones who are just worse they go home the thing is as you say i believe that somebody wasn't a football fan before the world cup they are an awful fun even if for a day or
11:35 pm
a few days my grandma was actually in touch with me saying have you seen the game did you see the girls amazing eighty one and you found football fan but something you mentioned there about the sheer size of russia almost eleven hundred cities twelve stadiums. a lot of concern beforehand as you say about the about the organization the size the travel football violence etc. how is this world cup compared to the others that you've been to and do you think any of those concerns maybe have been justified by the first world cup. i've been was ninety four in the u.s. as a journalist and then on the last one was two thousand and fourteen i was involved to people and you know it's always kind of easy to say it's the best you cannot really compare you know but so far what i have seen is really amazing no accident no whatsoever no further problems security wise i hope it goes on like that it's not finished yet the stadium so already. as i said the only really
11:36 pm
kind of criticism if i can say is that you know it's quite hard for the fans you know hard to do and interact in the communicate with the even with the taxi drivers or the they hardly speak english but you cannot play in the taxidriver probably the french or the learn a few words in russian and this is also with me i don't know and so we're. difficult to kind of discuss but for the rest the serving is fantastic so for us just ask the world cup especially because the big teams they're not here i mean of course germany spain portugal and so on italy not even this year so it's kind of that that world cup of the so-called little teams the only big one is brazil let's say and maybe maybe england but i mean this is peter scald in our don't know if english is really a favorite colombia's a good now you mentioned of course the interaction between the locals and the
11:37 pm
people who are visiting russia this tournaments as dan said spread over eleven cities how important do you think that is they get to the distance that it's covering that might be a challenge for some but also to bring the world cup to so many communities that may never seen so many people coming into that time i think it's very important honestly. at least that the people the friends i have worked they really use this opportunity to to to see a part of the country. because you cannot see go home for a short course but it was the same in brazil a lot of people criticize it before because you have four hours to from let's say rio de janeiro at the time from when i was a muzzle so they said it's a tomato but at the end of the day everybody wanted to be all over it and i think it's it's for the country who is hosting the world cup it's always good to just still show pace with the. course it's really hard to fulfill the reality but it's
11:38 pm
11:39 pm
donald trump will soon visit europe is a very busy agenda and it's unclear what kind of reception people get topping his i ten or where he will be trade relations nato and russia never before has an american president been expected with so much apprehension. welcome back this is an international hairstylist from new york has become the face of an apparently growing movement among american liberals released a video which quickly went viral calling on people to walk away from what he sees as the phony liberalism of the democratic party we spoke to the man who started the campaign to find out what prompted it and why he thinks it is gaining momentum well
11:40 pm
i i myself was a lifelong liberal democratic voter i would say kind of a democrat by default because i'm a gay man and i think that the expectation for a lot of minority groups is that we are supposed to vote democrat and that we are supposed to be liberals so i found myself sort of in the tribe on the left most of my life but there were things for years that made me extremely uncomfortable as i started to see the identity politics and the politically correct culture just sort of over common sense i knew other people were feeling this way so i decided to create a campaign and create this video to kick off the campaign so i'm walking away. and i encourage all of you to do the same. what i really wanted to do was get people back in touch with their voices and to push back against the narrative on the left the video has indeed generated a huge amount of feedback almost thirty thousand people have joined the movement
11:41 pm
since its release last month with the hash tag walk away trending over the weekend now it seems other liberals have been inspired to reveal their reasons for turning their backs on the democrats. i mean i so. i was instantly hooked to his message that democrats don't care about us not one bit they walked away from us a long time ago it is time for us to do the same rather walk away and be a part. of. the right. things the scared of the left this is where the party is going and this is why i'm sure you want. all right however some liberal outlets that have covered the story have claimed most of the momentum has been generated by right wingers rather than actual x. liberals we asked the founder of the walkway campaign for his reaction my campaign is not most they can approach comprised of people who are conservative and in fact
11:42 pm
anybody who is saying that i encourage them to go into the bait this is what so brilliant about the campaign if i don't say so myself you can't lot the video testimonials don't lie those aren't russian bots if you will and these are you know these are manufactured stories these are real people telling the real stories so for anybody who is skeptical please go to the page and see with your own eyes and listen with your own ears to the stories of real people who have really walked away from the left because they're completely fed up with what's happening on the left. and while the democratic party faces the walkaway movement donald trump is enjoying a little popularity boost a recent poll suggests his approval rating rose two points last month to forty seven percent and perhaps surprisingly support for the us president seemed to have been growing most among hispanic voters or trees came up and comments. the month of june wasn't too good for the white house and the court of public opinion lots of media rates trump over the coals for the treatment of migrant families along the
11:43 pm
u.s. border now in the denunciation of the donald latino americans took center stage we saw the president just a few moments ago on twitter tweeting again that this was the democrats' fault and not acknowledging at all that he has the ability to stop it with perhaps just a phone call it's not right it's immoral it's inhumane and we need to stop that and we've known since donald trump came down those stairs calling mexicans rapists and criminals we've known that we as american citizens would be on watch but according to a harvard harris poll thirty five percent of americans who identify as hispanic either approve or somewhat approve of the trumpet ministrations policies now that survey was conducted after trump signed an executive order ending the separation of illegal migrant families back in may those numbers are only twenty five percent in a single executive order to really explain a spike in approval this time now fifty seven percent of hispanic americans
11:44 pm
according to another poll approve of donald trump's economic policies we decided to speak to some folks in the local latino community to see if they can explain these poll numbers have no explanation and definitely not my kind of people. because the people. we listen to and trump and i believe what he says it makes no sense at all because it's mostly hispanic that the border that are being denied entry with their children so i can't speak for them do you think maybe there's other issues that are important to them i think that they're probably unaware of exactly what's going on as most of us are what would be some reason that that people in hispanic communities would support trump i mean what possible reason could there be tom i guess i mean he's smart financially but much trouble his reaction perhaps specific to this city in his words to say you know that they do want to connect the town ways again and they want to make a civilized process of the. it is a lot of pros and cons but still overall he wants to make america great again now
11:45 pm
the media is very good at telling us how we should be feeling however a more nuanced look at the data can sometimes throw up some surprising results it would mop and r.t. new york. the national court of justice of ecuador has issued a warrant for the preventative detention of the country's former president rafael correa the country's chief prosecutor's office requested that interpol extradite the ex leader who now resides in belgium is facing accusations he was involved in the kidnapping of former opposition lawmaker fernando in two thousand and twelve meanwhile baldwin himself has been charged with orchestrating if in two thousand and ten craig was president of ecuador for ten years starting in two thousand and seven he denies all charges. well that does it for me i will be back in about thirty four and a half minutes with a full of attorneys you are watching our international.
11:46 pm
11:47 pm
11:48 pm
america or there's a cause or poor yeah we're still in paris it's so beautiful here in the quad chewy in the coffee so delicious let's check in with stays max we are in france where their flag is red white and blue and so is this episode airing on the third and fourth of july so i am wearing red white and blue top and i have articles relating to the big four the big four accounting firms i have to clarify that because there are also a big four banks that are big for you know conglomerates running every single industry across the earth whether it's telecoms chips or things like that audit work on acceptable says watchdog key p.m.g. audits has shown an unacceptable deterioration will be subject to closer supervision the financial reporting council said every year this watchdog reviews the work of the accounting the big four accounting firms the other big four outside
11:49 pm
of k.p.n. g.r.p. w c ernst and young and deloitte and they said in particular all of the big four were bad but in particular k p m g who of course where the auditors for karelian that outsourcing company that collapsed three months after k p m g had said their books showed that they were in perfect health at least for the next three years there's a lie in the statement they say they will be subject to closer scrutiny which is false i can tell you because they say this every year or so they say the exact same phrase over and over again they say oh we could we caught this big four accounting firm committing fraud so we're going to apply some closer scrutiny and then just to cover their own you know that's what they have to say to cover their legally they say well we said that we were going to apply closer scrutiny but then they never do because they're part of the racket this is racketeering with the accounting firms the the banks. the rating agencies the government and the central bank it's called iraq it the u.k.
11:50 pm
profits from it handsomely that's how the aristocracy keeps going and that's not going to stop well actually will go a little bit into that in the upcoming headline but first i want to stay on this story and move to the next one about k p m g k p m g said it was quote disappointed and was taking steps to improve audit quality they were very disappointed in their their repeated bad audit in quality but the next headline in this comes from market watch and our friend francine mechanic who is a regular on kaiser report k p m g one v v a audit was stolen data about rivals inspections and auditor was able to use access to confidential regulatory inspection data to get advance knowledge of its own inspections and also poacher client the revelation came in court documents supporting the u.s. government's case against former k p m g partners shows the confidential information was also used against the auditors rivals so this is a complaint against four former partners in spain and a former public account company accounting oversight board employee in spain the
11:51 pm
story dates back to twenty sixteen when a spanish bank b b v.a. was forced to solicit bids from other audit firms and switch from an audit relationship with deloitte spanish firm due to a european union mandatory audit rotation rules confidential information around these bids gave p.m.g. a secret advantage over rivals p w c and ernst and young ruler also eligible to bid on the audit they had an insider a guy who had had joined from the regulator the spanish regulator so he had these documents to showcase p.m.g. to give them an advantage over their rivals so the reason you even have a k p m g or any of these big four accounting firms because the tax laws are so convoluted that you have to hire outsiders to come in or to perform or you what the government has just written and the government has just written these laws as per the consultations from these big four accounting firms to keep it. as labor and byzantine and complicated as possible as a way to. toward competition they don't want any of these big firms they don't want
11:52 pm
any competition coming along without having to pay the extortion that is the fee to a big four accounting firm who works hand in glove with the government to prevent competition sony or stories like r.b.s. as a unit and they go and destroy thousands of british corporations to steal the assets and sell them off to another third party they work with thought in firms those books are all audited by big operating firms out that they didn't make those numbers up themselves they hired outside orders from the big foreign press so we're going to go into what the big four has done to the united kingdom and this is about the first story the k p m g was found to have acted on acceptably in terms of their audits in the past year and in particular related to curl and now here is wall street's take on the big four audit oligarchies comes under scrutiny in the u.k. after corporate surprise collapses in fact an m.p. in the united kingdom called them an oligarch e which you know if it were any other country especially ones that are not our
11:53 pm
allies we would say those are that's an oligarch you have four companies controlling or three companies or two companies so it's many industries across our world are controlled by just a few groups of powerful companies but here they're saying. the. guardian article where they're looking at these big four accounting firms and what they find is that in britain the big forest consultants council ministers and officials on everything from health care to nuclear power although their advice is always labelled independent it invariably suits a raft of corporate clients with direct interest in it and unsurprisingly most of the consultants prescriptions such as marketisation of public services and tale yet more demand for their services in the years ahead so they are being placed inside parliament inside congress inside. parlance across the european union in the us and they consult independently we're just giving independent advice to your
11:54 pm
representatives we're just helping everybody here we're giving we're helping out well in fact their advice always always they never say actually we should do something that spreads wealth more equitably or we should do something that allows people to earn their fair share of the pie that they've created that they've essentially that is our economy now it's always like well let's devise a system where say the health care system they mention in the united kingdom where we bring in united health from america where the c.e.o. makes one hundred million dollars a year he could perhaps make two hundred million dollars a year instead if you give him the british healthcare system and turn every british citizen what i'm sorry but if subject somebody like max and stacy were plundered relentlessly monthly by obamacare the government works out of him with these to open seas and the world to come up with oligarchies or you could call it a cartel and they could also point out that back it a racket and as price fixing the main one of the basic anti-competitive tricks that
11:55 pm
they use in these accounting trick in their account and so they would know best they are engaged in price fixing so all those big four firms they collude which is also illegal and they fix price so they collude and they compete i mean obviously keep p.m.g. defrauded young and deloitte in that situation where they used unfair information incisor mation exactly like lehman brothers was caught not playing game ball with the other banks on wall street that had to be sacrificed a lot better start this is all of this story is an example of the fact that we have this revolving door we have it in the u.s. we have it everywhere where you have you know hank paulson leaving goldman sachs with two hundred million dollars tax free in joining the treasury and then he bells out goldman sachs and his other banker friends you have it on every layer of the big the big four banks the big four consultancy firms the big four audit firms the big. for telecom companies the big four chip makers the big four defense contractors the big four whatever they want the big four get whatever they want so
11:56 pm
that's something to be celebrated in the big four but in the u.k. the big four audit ninety nine of the footsie one hundred companies and ninety seven percent of the footsie three hundred fifty from ninety five percent five years ago so it's actually gone up since the financial crisis despite e.u. and u.k. reforms a stand simply aimed at tackling a lack of competition in the sector as a pattern that is replicated throughout advanced economies and the vast majority of member states a combined market share of the big four audit firms for listed companies exceeds ninety's percent but it's in the consulting business where the real money is being made not that competitive they hate competition they don't want competition that's why the informal cartel to stop all the competition and to engage in every known illegal activity to prevent competition and it only it's only getting worse as the crisis because they have the cooperation of the central bank of england who will manipulate interest rates as we found out during the crisis that they were jimmying
11:57 pm
the interest rates for their wall street and in city of london friends so no nobody no institution in the u.k. is. not part of the wreckage because there is a racket everywhere in cartels and all of these and oligarchs everywhere it's like you have bigger and bigger firms and we've covered this and kai's reports since the financial crisis the banks have got the big four banks got bigger the big four telecom companies got bigger the big four tech companies social media companies all got way bigger so then you know it becomes harder to introduce competition because there's so mammoth they're just so giant with offshore vehicles and you know tax laundering all around the world so how how does one control these giant corporations and in terms of where they said the real money comes from the consulting side and that's where you. now that's where you see the back and forth the most is nobody wants to to the real work of having to look through the numbers
11:58 pm
an art of books you've become a consultant and you just basically plunder the state on behalf of your friends you have like a lot of these former prime ministers and financial treasury secretaries like the chancellor of the exchequer they go on to big banks for american banks they become consultants there for one day a week million pounds a year sort of thing the real money is definitely being made in two thousand and seventeen the big forest combined global annual revenues reached one hundred thirty four billion dollars and the rate of their growth keeps expanding faster than the world they serve as the guardian reports in their oldest markets the u.k. and the u.s. these big four accounting firms are growing at more than twice the rate of those countries' economies by twenty sixteen across one hundred fifty countries the big four employed eight hundred ninety thousand people which was more than the five most valuable companies in the world combined so they go twice as fast as the underlying economy which means somebody is losing because they're gaining this is
11:59 pm
a form of leprosy is k p m g and the other three big the big four. and they have in the city of london in the u.k. and they're affecting the entire economy and it's causing to four defamations. some sort of parasite for sure because that's a parasitic behavior where you're growing faster than the underlying economy that you're supposedly serving they're supposed to serve the economy they're supposed to serve transparency within that economy and this by the way this big for you know these people are the consulting sees a revolving door between all these big four of all the industries of the world in that the central banks from the that in the halls of power there are they're the same people that are like shocked about bitcoin and cryptocurrency some they they're the ones that plead ignorance about why why this is erupted why people are adopting this why people want. ject there big four system that's why also why they love the whole idea breaks it is because they created huge billions of pounds worth
12:00 am
of our consulting fees for the big four yeah i did write laws like the n.h.s. would benefit all this money that was constructed by an accounting firm by one of these one of its all things they came out of the consultant they said are going to save both n.h.s. money and now they've made huge money the average british person is getting impoverished and it's becoming more dangerous to go there and they actually rebranded that the costs of the n.h.s. they just rebranded that something like that breaks it benefits or something like that they feel they said they benefited from it but that they must now raise taxes why does every great dystopian novel occur in england it's because of these four galloping horses of the counting apocalypse well we must go to a break but we'll be back don't go away.
