means russia did it establish that it is not a chaka matter is by definition of the translation of the name which means newcomer part of a program in a soviet union in the late seventy's and eighty's the points made there are a lot of questions to ask of this whole mess but over the last few weeks we've interviewed dozens of chemists experts and military specialists and hear their biggest gripes. the nuvi nerve agents a new she crit they haven't been so in decades there's many well published formulas of nerve agents so that it's no problem i mean mary where you have sarin so manji v.x. there are abundant abundant and the structures are known and the toxicity profiles are known so so many people can make nerve agents and they know what structures to go to go toward here they are exerts from the books and studies available to the

public neither the formula you know the chemicals any more russian then itself for years now researchers have published studies and the she's on the nuvi chocks which there are dozens and dozens of many developed in different countries there's just one good tool in twenty zero seven the u.s. or the published a paper on numerous chemical compounds we were interested because of the toxicity we all thought united them under the system there are more than sixty compounds here and they've all been indexed that means someone somewhere synthesize them and shared the information since then these formulas or some of them have appeared in various publications constantly you simply cannot say they are secret and. there's more to it if you suspect a potential adverse or e. is made

a new discovery you have to do the same in order to study the new substance and make antidotes it's true to say that russia is not the only country being able to sympathize a few grams of no beach up in the late ninety's all intelligence services in the west worked on of each other because there were these rumors about a new military chemical agent just in russia so so i'm not surprised that in france in a new king in the united states is a. have this kind of information that could explain the speed in which the product was identified that's the purpose and that's the job of this kind of laboratories and there's a whole lot of nerve agents to go around with more being discovered undeclared nerve agents. and it's a country and there are many discovers the properties of a new chemical structure it's the chemical weapons are down szell they must

immediately according to the conventions register it with the obviously w. but no country does so despite having created many such chemicals. and it really isn't as difficult as it may sound if it's really a we're dealing with it's not a real problem to synthesize that kind of nerve agent or the necessary components are easily available on the open market the synthesis does not require sophisticated procedures any specialist in organic chemistry would be able to make it though every expert we talked to said that you need serious expertise in substantial funding to make sure nerve agent. and of course you can't make this in any basement the chemicals are highly toxic and the love has to be well equipped with ventilation the talks of acacia equipment and the chemist themselves have to be educated not everyone can synthesize this but there are

twenty or so labs that counter. the argument that there is no alternative explanation because only russia has made new trucks sales. britain's decision to classify almost every aspect of what happened and the investigation is called the rumen mill running but there are tidbits that have leaked out tidbits that have the scientists scratching their heads is supposed to be very toxic highly toxic five to eight times more toxic than the x. which is already a very very toxic so a small amount should have killed mr creep out for sure but again it's very difficult to assess and evaluate this kind of question before knowing exactly how the product was delivered the interesting thing with nobody chalks is that there

are so many of them and they come in so many different forms they can come in a powered as solid as a crystal and even as a liquid but just to give you some reference if this was a variety of the nuvi chalks. a single drop is enough to kill ten people ten people within minutes if this was in the hild even more units whimpering that we can hail symptoms appear and follows in minutes if it gets on the skin symptoms and birth can take from minutes to hours. at first one might think that the script could only have survived because the doods had to be very small but the reported symptoms don't match they simply missing a little but it's when witnesses found them they said serug a scrip or was rocking back and forth waving his hands it seemed more like the

effects of narcotics if it was a small dose as they claim then first would come meiosis then the rest of the symptoms convulsions uncontrolled urination but we didn't see that in photos or hear of it in reports there are many questions. if indeed this was a nuvi chalke a nerve agent at work the script ulcers were very fortunate british medics must have realized quickly what was at work here or else have a miracle cure for a new nerve agents there's no other explanation. the u.s. marked independence day on july fourth but a majority of americans for the first time and at least eighteen years say that they are no longer extremely proud of their country this is the finding of a poll by gallup which tallies with a number of other recent surveys that also reflect a downward trend has come up and takes

a closer look. before the july american independence day time for barbecue fireworks and celebrating the old stars and stripes. see. what is the patriotic impulse dying among americans a new poll shows that not all americans are swelling with national pride the poll indicates that less than half of americans actually say that they're extremely proud of their country and that's with donald trump playing up us exceptionalism we're going to make america make america great again great again are you planning to celebrate the fourth of july this year actually i'll be working as i am sure there's every day comp by it all came out this year and when asked if they were proud of their country extremely proud of their country only forty seven percent of

americans said yes that's less than half what do you make of that poll. i saw that i don't understand i'm in the other category am extremely proud and now we look so bad in court towards other countries who are looking towards us and saying that we look so separated now instead of being united i suppose it's about trump mainly really it's just just simply the president. what else i think again it centers on a political. level happening just faith in. leadership you really come down to what i think deep down that number is probably higher but people may feel a grudge about certain poetical you know swings these days used to be that once a year americans put aside their political differences and marched behind the american flag is one on independence day however this year it seems that partisan political differences are impacting how americans feel about the festivities cable

mopp and r t new york. the fifo world cup is down to the last eight countries colombian and swiss hearts were broken on tuesday but it was jubilation for england and sweden and hawkins has all the angles covered for us in st petersburg. wherever you're watching us today welcome to russia's historic capital. decide how much museum how to square dripping in the streets. today all of course about the knockout stage has now wrapped up we know the eight teams now set to play in the world cup quarterfinals. head to head with france brazil face belgium on friday that should be a goal fast on saturday all eyes here of course with the host russia clash with

getting to of course sweden england also meet the same day. wrapped up the knockout stage last night it really did have everyone has their seats and myself for three to three lives in a dramatic penalty shoot out. i . i. the whole range of emotions jubilation for the. only thing to break the penalty which is haunted now for several tournament sort of course heartbreak for colombia who gave it their all but it wasn't quite enough pundit joseph was also watching the game in which colombian players they gave everything for one hundred thirty minutes they should be exhausted so while there was such. a more you know because we had two motions one.

point two if you are more important you could be in the quarterfinals great job and. you. call it. for many things you are not. in. the. train you can. fly now and heading for the finals we. share say they're enduring fair share to be fun all eyes of course on england caps and. football's hottest property right now the best striker at least according to many he scored that crucial penalty there was always attention knowing and might just blow it all but that goal number six for pushed him to the top of the race for the golden boot as the world cup's top scorer finds

a raptor to victory last night as you might expect scenes of relief and of course your jubilation. if. i. now as things heat up here in russia the intrigue. pundits taking a break from his crystal ball predicts it will most football results most of all the talk it so far too. young budding football stars of the future is that report. yes i would think it was a failure to comply he must in the last question if you do not clear to me i do not slip in the last years of my said was right but. what i have said and the least.

it is. that you're such a nice smile even i commanded much as tonight to be meeting at a similar one in your chilly continue to tell chelsea. was the only one this isn't lenient. so so so you come on do you wish you just disappear on the table and you will cheat so. be. you could only ever. be. ok so i was told that you are the good talents that you are the kids with with good potential so i come to give a look your coach is ian i just stay outside i'm looking at you and so with all my attention but don't feel any pressure just feel happy and and free ok he will.

go. one thing is. and another thing if. you pass the ball to the right speed and control it passes readable if i control the ball here is one thing and then i need one more thought and i need one more second another thing is it passes me the ball and lead my control. my control i can give the media the speed of the game so little seems little good makes the game much much better than you for it look for example to. his name irrational yet if they look to him the first the first control the speed of the of the boss polish always got a. rhyme

. positively surprised with what i see what i see in his little session and i hope that will should be his view with me i also see in my in my players being professional players. they enjoy more of the period when they are playing in the periods where they have the practice but this is as important exercises that they can do outside the little little game what's your secret in achieving that much trophies the secret is what i was asking you. to enjoy but at the same time if you says if you want to reach

a certain level. has to be a serious serious thing every minute of the day we're. working with my players i take it very very serious always of the smile always happy to do something that i really like to do but always read with a great cause and be the grit and be sure to have fun every minute throughout on the pitch take it seriously what's your favorite leading muchas tonight for if i answer to you or the other ones to go away is like when you got a father and you have more of them than ones then one son which one is the favorite son. i have a son the daughter i cannot say which one is my favorite. my favorite was the difference in training russian players. players i think in the one of the secrets is the competitiveness of the league every club has probably eighteen

twenty twenty peaches like this one. only for the academies i hope. with kids like you coaches like him with facilities like like that with the passion of the russian. people. as for food well we have what the world cup can change in terms of the. mentality in. all of the united states mexico kind of that can be a target for the russian national team to to improve let's make a challenge and sometimes challenges all dreams they become reality one day so let's see in the next twelve years. i coach the russian national team and some of them they play for me they will. go.

and i was might see some those youngsters in russia's next up world cup squad oh down now of course the last eight. the world have been on a roller coaster ride from the very start to some though it seems to be a bit of a year that needs it but one of motional support they've got their four legged friends with them for company.

well that's it from me now for a while studio in st petersburg footplate ski you can follow all b. thrills and spills of world cup when did seem as it rumbles on this some also called stacy about suit.

this is the ca's report you know where in paris paris france city of light city of beauty city of achievement speaking of enchantment stacey you know so many times i need to but people will say it's not pronounced like that it's pronounced like this so my question to them is well strewed we start calling it perry. yeah absolutely i totally agree with that point i actually i'm not sure where that comes from but it's something that one experiences in france is an obsession with grammar

pronounced word usage syntax because that's what makes this country great the financial institute the institute of language integrity to make french the language of the world english is in retreat french is on the rise actually it was not talked about french people i was talking about ordinary americans and british people who live in their mother's basement or attic and they talk about they like to correct everybody on line and blah blah blah and they say oh you pronounce you know the italian guys in the wrong or something like that but i do not say perry and i do not say suomi for finland i say i say finland all the minium what do they know exactly they don't know how to speak english good they're so you know who speaks funny is donald trump and donald trump has been tweeting a trade war with china well many other nations including the e.u. where he straightening to slap a twenty percent tariff on imported cars from europe but stock market investors are

acting as if a genuine u.s. trying to trade war has erupted has a tit for tat terror spat between china and the u.s. shifted from a skirmish to a full blown trade war that is certainly how financial markets have been reacting. tensions took a turn higher last tuesday after president don trump threatened to impose tariffs on as much as four hundred fifty billion dollars in chinese goods further ratcheting up tensions between the two largest economies in the world well you know all the trade that's been going on for decades of kind of got into these channels of trade that nobody's questioned. questioning what's going on and really architecting global trade in a way that would probably be fair more fair fair trade you know i was speaking of mispronunciation this is kind of why i set this up is that there's this little stand country eastern european country called stand cruise cruises expand. and i

know i'm probably mispronouncing it but nevertheless they are right there between china and russia and they are getting ready for this trade war between the united states and china and they've also had to deal with the sanctions against russia and the fact that it's cause their own currency to crumble so they've been starting to buy massive quantities of gold and gold buying is in the headlines as well this is the universal language of money is if trade war is increase the stuff starts happening and mispronouncing of basically misunderstanding of art of of where the united states is as many people are unable to understand what trump is talking about and where this is going a lot of nations have been buying gold so russia dumps treasuries for gold this is from bloomberg all the investors usually seek safety in us that russia cut its holdings of treasuries nearly in half in april as washington slapped the harshest

sanctions to date on the selection of russian companies and individuals and a shift bank attributed to a deepening political standoff russia is instead keeping up its purchases of gold some people. ask whether the russian central bank sold them to support the ruble in april but it's about tainting allocation as reserves continue to grow said latimer requests chef skee senior economist at downscale bank in helsinki rising u.s. heels have ruled the south right while global debt to g.d.p. is almost three hundred percent you know countries like japan it's way higher and one big central bank of the world in twenty eighteen twenty nineteen will go bust probably the bank of japan but could be the european central bank and that will be an enormous catastrophe in the financial sector and gold will be a safe haven play and russia is anticipating this because it's been trying to do trade with the west for

a long time fifteen years sixteen years under putin and the west america keep projecting this over to your let's trade let's trade but they keep categorizing and putting russia into the camp of this is why hillary lost and they don't want to do trade america has given up on being a free market economy and wants to be a top down polar bureau driven price fixing central bank led dystopian economic nightmare so russia saying ok fine we'll just keep buying gold until this thing blows was not just russia's many countries we're going to get to that in a bit but i think. you know there is this notion that when a cinammon is coming when a big major event whether it's a collapsing empire or a massive wave that's going to wipe out half your country is that you know some people have the instinct some animals have the instinct in when the boxing day tsunami a few years ago about a decade ago. the elephants famously ran off into the woods carrying some of the

tourists on their back and they're like what's going on well they knew it's coming well you know we humans went out there looking at the water retreating but the same thing is some nations seem to have a more protective instinct perhaps probably it's like countries that have had more turmoil and history of collapse and history of war and history of invasion in their recent history what if you're going to send mom a metaphor there you know before the tsunami hits the tide goes out yes very far we're seeing now quantitative tightening so these banks are saying we're going to reverse our quantitative easing and we're going to make credit harder to come by so the credit spigots are the tide is moving out and then they get to the point where they figure you know what this is impossible in fact because even a quarter point rise in global interest rates will cause catastrophic deflationary bond failure across every major economy in the world they'll come back with

a multi hundred trillion dollar quantitative easing money printing tsunami and then that's one of his that's comes back and then this one to have a hyper inflationary move in gold and bitcoin and everything that's not printable well all the signs are there it's just whether you read it and protect yourself whether you are that elephant that runs for the hills or the human that goes out further into the retreating tides that suddenly all the water retreated and people were not there to take photos so here in this story they are saying that russia has sixty million two. of gold now which is eighty point five billion dollars but russia sold forty seven point four billion of treasuries and april more than any other major foreign holder the u.s. securities even as its reserves grew on the back of rising oil prices as stockpile forty eight point seven billion dollars is down from a twenty to ten peak of over one hundred seventy six billion ranking it now only twenty second worldwide according to data this is what the chart looks like as the

plunge and the recent planned sell off in treasuries and us again they are the biggest in terms of the percentage of their holdings but other countries are also reducing their holdings including japan but they're reducing their holdings of treasuries while u.s. consumers and pension funds are expanding you know i was surprised when i visited moscow and you go to an automatic teller machine and you see dispensing both of roubles and dollars and i think psychologically russia should get rid of any a.t.m. dispensing dollars and they should put rubles. and this would educate the public about what's coming and how to protect themselves that's a good idea and in an article on goal. mark o'byrne site gold core he has a follow up on this story from bloomberg about buying six hundred thousand ounces of gold and he has some other interesting details in here so russia by six hundred thousand ounces of gold the may after dumping half of u.s. treasuries in april it is not just russia that is diversifying into gold in recent

months and years india turkey mexico iran. kazakstan. than mongolia and of course china have been increasing their gold reserves as well erratic and risky economic and foreign policies pose a risk to the dollar as the reserve currency of the world so i think. you know even people like jim records who have been on the show we covered that years ago when the u.s. pulled the trigger or swift when they cut iran off from the system is that always a threat they had the ability to do that but once they pulled it. all other. nations outside the five sort of guys outside of canada australia new zealand in the u.k. start to think well are we going to be next but even canada in that group of people who are being a call you know unfriendly nations in canada has no gold at all they know

everything but no china and russia are getting cozier belum he did so grow the new silk road project combining you know concepts and they want to do business outside of the dollar and so makes sense for both china and russia the be accumulating lots of gold china is now expanding their gold mining operation no gold leaf china you never see a gold bar with the chinese symbol on it does none of it ever gets out of china they're hoarding it russia is buying it and people are waiting for the dollar to finally kind of reach its come up and well if china is the next dominant power it doesn't seem like they want to replace it directly with that seems like something that will be end up gold backed or commodity backed if that if you look at what they're how they're positioning their own portfolio so the deterioration however in the u.s. fiscal and financial position has been happening slowly for many years but accelerated under bush.
