that was done by second or you continue nation this is why the stinney is a chemical weapon expert. i can imagine a scenario with the second that we can diminish and. there's been a second night of violent protests in the french city of non over the death of a twenty two year old man shot by police on tuesday protesters clashed with officers throwing molotov cocktails and starting fires in several districts police say that the young man refused to comply with orders and have reversed his vehicle into an officer while trying to avoid an identity check and he was previously known to authorities an investigation is currently underway here's more details from r.t. france correspondent jonathan. karl. didn't have all clashes took place in this neighborhood. just hundreds of meters

away from the place where that young twenty two year old man was killed trying to escape a police jail where there were clashes with some young people wearing balaclavas who went out on the streets to throw objects of law enforcement but locals who went out on their balconies or just open their windows they too were throwing all kinds of things at them but we even saw potatoes and peas tossed at officers and we retaliated with flash bangs and tear gas these trash bins were set on fire by youths police are trying to retake the neighborhood bit by bit to calm things down but the atmosphere remains highly tense and unfortunately law enforcement expect even more violence. group of music fans may have unwittingly developed a way to evade facial recognition tools frequently used in police surveillance the so-called juggalos are fans of the hip hop duo insane clown posse who are known for supporting an elaborate style of facial makeup but now

a tech researcher claims that the face paint could potentially disrupt algorithms used by facial recognition software here's how he explains. they should recognition . and looking for a few different important facial features usually the nose i now. this makeup actually kind of replaces the job line as well as a few other large features which makes it very difficult to match it to other regular bases most of the techniques to avoid facial recognition on yourself are generally quite a drastic facial obfuscations or to master anything which completely hides the face is going to be most affected and i don't think that these technologies to avoid patient recognition will be used for crime right away this kind of science has come under fire before from rights groups who say it's being used by the authorities not only to catch criminals but also to spy on law abiding citizens here's an elegant. i think that future recognition technology has some very useful applications especially for rainforest men but it could potentially be used maliciously such as

we know it's out of hospitals to sell this information was there to insurance companies or other things which might be more morally questionable i think there are absolutely consequences to how obviously recognition technology is being used it's important to make sure that we still continue to develop and understand this technology but people should be aware of how this data is being gathered what excuse for and potentially how to avoid it it may be better to limit the sort of online exposure you have in social media even if you can't prevent people who are recognizing your face you can limit what they can do with that information thanks. we are now just ten days away from knowing the champions of the two thousand and eighteen feet up and with eight nations left battling for a place in the final artie's daniel hawkins and he's ally have got you covered for the crunch quarterfinal games.

whenever you want to know the very we'll well she did fall well top twenty eight hundred studio just outside the house and it's museum in russia's northern capital st petersburg with the last sixteen stage now complete and says a patient is already building for the quarter final stage starting friday why france clash and then belgium against brazil and we can't forget the biggest game for people here of course russia. with the sweden game also taking place on the same day as well promises to be a real football fest over the coming days over here bring you the latest game kicking off the quarter finals is why again for a second place in the. paper it seems like even the match time yeah absolutely can be looking for that star striker luis luis suarez. as well i'm out of the two goals that save them. yeah sure defeat. of course has three of the top expensive players

in the world one of them forwards a lot of talk about you know kind of justifies reputation as the world's hottest young talent cup with the pressure i think that something has coped with very well with those two goals seven goals for that we saw in sochi yeah and in particular the quality of position there in argentina. perhaps disappointing in the tournament that many people find see them of course with their star players and he really stepped up and shown on the big stage and of course fans are the main player the twelfth man in this thought about that quite a massive part in driving the team forward as well the of these. the a who was.

big game coming up on friday as well brazil taking on belgium in khazan a city on the volga river about eight hundred kilometers east of moscow top names there of course belgium like. now when it comes to brazil of course you have to look at their history and their tradition in this tournament there's no doubt that they can go all the way and you know they're still a favorite thing especially now what germany spain portugal argentina all the teams south of the favorites before i think brazil were you know pretty much the top spot though this as well as they still remain as they always are out there brazil the beginning in some pretty much training with junior player stealing the limelight this time the sports star player name for his son a lot of training he showed that he could be following in his dad's footsteps one may pop sooner than we might think of course complete with the the daughter natasha so maybe not but hopefully i hopefully he'll be a little bit more of a fair player from the very start of the world cup the atmosphere has been amazing and the fans have been taken through all the ups and downs whole spectrum of

emotions here it's a petersburg and moscow all over the country in fact eleven cities yet and you know there have been fans who travel other countries coming to russia in order to support the host nation and i actually managed to do it a couple of them to get a fantastic unique view of st petersburg. st petersburg it's arguably one of the most beautiful and picturesque cities in all of russia it's considered the capital of the north of the country and one photographer is offering people the opportunity to take in the stunning views and unique style by having photo shoots and the tour here on the rooftops. and that's all it means because of course you know it's modified by some ice just kind of you know catfish from i mean from. russia has been the freedom summer christian. nice side you got in which such a big. if they can there's not a fish to be found water there is certainly so much so what are. some of the shirts

so use it to go to the produce to you when you're going to church and to not be at a time when you're a board member. so guys just to the saddle but what do you think about this little kind of tour it's amazing i mean if you look around you have so many classy buildings all over the place and it's it's a really beautiful city you can see to seduce bustling with the markets and everything yeah because what do you think about the tournament itself the football that strangely i mean it's such an open tournament the sun there's no clear favorite or we're both rooting for a shot asli i mean we're in the stadium where they play spain it was was just crazy so i suppose before in england in particular there's been a lot of scaremongering and now back home a lot of our fans i'm good with the government and with the media because they say you told us it was going to be this and yeah no actually i think you have to come here we have such a cliche view about russia and the russian people when you hear. what a wonderful country first of all it is and how nice and great the russian people are i would say the world cup just adds to it because there's always plenty of

people around you know all everyone from the world uniting through the football so it is just a great atmosphere. so many people coming from all over the wild partying in the streets drinking dot sing singing. that's been a fantastic atmosphere so far is not looks like it's just getting started almost i've not been here in st petersburg for the majority of the tournament i was in moscow for a bit and it's been amazing to the education to learn about the city its history the beauty of the buildings the people here are very friendly and open minded and it's been wonderful to be based up to so i think all those tourists who are coming in learning all about myself really going to take me a lot of russians culture and history so it's been it's been educational you know if you come up definitely not to compare your visa visa pipework started now with a composition funding on i caught up with my city get out loans a russian opera singer out on a bus enough for up the world cup in that st petersburg. we got things off on a bit of a high note and we think. we sleep well cup was

a fantastic festival for russia fantastic event for said petersburg what does it mean to you to be the ambassador for this city and we need to sell it at the time but you have no idea this is such an honor to represent our beautiful city hospital our great country at this feast of sports but i feel a world cup football and i'm really proud and happy to be a part of it all the stuff that's really what i take it you're obviously supporting a russia to go as far as they can but in terms of the other teams is there anybody perhaps that you watch what's in closely some of the favorites perhaps that you want to get to see do well as well as i see of course i support russia but i'm rooting for football in general because of its passion and what is now happening in our country is absolutely amazing and we are rooting for the beautiful game but we are rooting for all these wonderful team has that came to russia i mean want to say thank you for all of this spicy but do you think people's expectations of me justified for this the full festival a lot of media perhaps reporting there may be problems of all sorts with the

organization without putting in russia have they been proven right or of things gone very much to plan we need to start a team i've talked to many fan myself and you won't believe it or are amazed by our country because people here are really friendly you know fans were expecting it to be freezing cold all of that with all these dolls and bears but this is a wonderful country with wonderful people and have a car see the russian people are really welcoming you boy so don't be afraid to come to russia and see it for yourself used to see it it's possible but nothing seems an adidas and i thought i was with cities and if so they could you. give me some piece of autograph at the voice of the music i missed you know i should back you know it's real when you're there i. was and i was bored out of marshes saw a little dive solo started. yes

yes all you who resigned. yesterday almost all you. so. just go. here and has threatened to block the strait of hormuz m h used for twenty percent of the world's oil exports it's in response to washington's threat to stopping iran from exporting its own oil and comes after the us state department said it intended to reduce your hands on oil reserves revenues to zero our goal with respect to the energy sanctions our goal is to increase pressure on the iranian regime by reducing to zero its revenue from crude oil sales in order to need these ideas so when they

see they will not allow iran's oil to be exported it means that the oil of the entire region will not be exported how is it possible that iran spoiled can't be exported enough for the rest of the region scan of them and that is it seems they don't understand what they are saying when they say iran will not be allowed to export even a drop of oil ok if they can do it even if i didn't do it thank you and see the result in the navy. and as a result there are been calls from iran's revolutionary guard to block the strait of hormuz used by gulf countries for exports this trade is controlled by iran to the north and by oman in the south the us navy has already reacted by saying it's willing to provide security for trade in the region we asked steve keen a professor of economics at kingston university whether the conflict could now escalate. this particular incident of trump trying to control oil prices i think is really the beginning of the chaos of having a madman in control of a complex system so i think the old bets are on if he's trying to control the old

process and push it down at the same time is trying to push stock markets up and boost the economy all in one time it's like watching somebody trying to juggle thirty seven flights at once when they only know how to weight off one there's every possibility that he will enforce a blockade which iran will have to respond to and yes i think conflict is quite feasible because oil prices are going to rot anyway given the pressure of demand with a recovering global economy process will rogers world regardless of walk around and trump will then respond to the ring creation process by blaming a ram we're not seeing rational behavior here we're not saying logical thought thing applauds so i think it's just going to lead inevitably to some form of conflict. and finally some very sad news longtime t.v. and radio broadcaster ed schultz has passed away i joined r.t. america in two thousand and sixteen and was a highly valued member of our team he's believed to have died of natural causes at

his home in washington d.c. ed was sixty four years old before joining r.t. had been for several years one of the most watched anchorman on m.s.n. b.c. and have successful career as a radio personality his reporting gave voice to workers and labor unions he was never afraid to speak out and had always wanted his country to be a role model to the world and to its own citizens during his short time on our team america he covered several high profile news events we showcased his talents and experience as an all round news reporter among other topics he covered the brags that vote with larry king and america's two thousand and sixteen presidential election. senator in every poll you beat donald trump far more than your opponent do you want to superdelegates to consider that and i think they have to look at hillary clinton and i disagree on a whole lot of issues and people in the convention i'm going to disagree but one thing we're all united on trump would be

a disaster for this country must not become president or have still you understand why i have come all the way from the united states there's a big anxiety over britain's vote among politicians in the united states a long time broadcaster of larry king and longtime friend and associate of donald trump known well it's good to be with a great look and said it's good to have here in washington looks terrific and it's a perfect day for a nun or goes down very cold and some if in the air this clouds they should be clouds. larry i said you know well meaning i think there are a lot of americans out there wondering what's donald trump really like team great to be with you tonight i know all of you are loaded for bear. i probably won't say very much. there were a few in the news industry as respected as i've shown you will be greatly missed.

that's a wrap up of today's top stories for this hour thanks for tuning at. length leap. to.

eat.

meat. since the start of the world cup or russian sports commentators have put croatia on their list of teams capable of winning russians love to root for the underdog but will have sympathy for a rival impact on russia's quarterfinal time with croatia. camera . roughly once they showed some move paid for them. to joan cool videos during the world cup and someone with a ruptly string app. going down more likely don't t.v. really don't t.v. .

sure this is the ca's report you know we're in paris paris france city of light city of beauty city of achievement speaking of a chance went stacey you know so many times on you tube 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 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 pronounced 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 and 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 tariff spat between china and the us shifted from a skirmish to a full blown trade war that is certainly how financial markets have been react.

thing 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 a comic 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 caused 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 although investors usually seek safety and u.s. debt 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 adults bank attributed to a deepening geo 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. eels have fueled the. 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 keeps rejecting this overt 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 lead 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's 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 they go out further into they 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. 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 rubles and dollars and i think psychologically russia should get rid of any a.t.m. dispensing dollars and they should put rubles and decline 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 extend kazakstan. than mongolia and of course china have been increasing their gold reserves as well

trump's 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 in canada in that group of people who are being a called you know unfriendly nations and canada has no gold at all there's no everything but no china and russia are getting cozier berlin hit 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 to be accumulating lots of gold china is now expanding their gold mining operation no gold leaves 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 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 two and obama that of course sounds like hemingway's he went bankrupt slowly and then all the sudden that's the way it always happens right trump inherited a heavily indebted us with nominal debt just under.
