serving food to let the tension calm down this is something new for us so yes we're stopping migrants have been expelled by police in this area many times philip tells me that despite this they come back and every time they do this situation becomes even more desperate from the beginning our mission was to serve hot drinks and bread and we've done this for twenty months every day during the last month we started questioning our mission as we day one i volunteered to be put in danger. who is to blame for this situation for not giving enough help to the migrants on the streets is this the mayor of paris is this the government of france. is all for us is both the state is responsible for people on the streets for taking in migrants at the same time the authorities in paris are restricting access to water taps in the summer is irresponsible they also have a responsibility towards the miners their miners who sleep on the street and in the camp of drug addicts me the state nor the parish administration is doing its job

with the authorities not providing enough support the volunteers are giving up just a stone's throw away from haiti is an area known locally as crack hill that's also made things worse for those working to help the migrants felipe says that some of the drug addicts are also coming for food handouts and causing problems. the drug addicts revaluated recently but nothing was done to help them and they came back to the now come from breakthroughs to it creates additional tension they're aggressive including towards the volunteers so this is an explosive situation. while we're recording the interview me the food distribution point to. individuals approach us all move you guys all ammo media which serves your reality when i was here i was fairly. low margin so basically we keep in mind that some of the people. like bill me we're not filming it he says but they just aren't

comfortable with the camera it's. the venue to press this is the. exact i. think. more people are coming nothing's being done about it and there are the drug addicts as you saw it's impossible to film people here it's becoming more difficult than before we think the situation is explosive and it puts is in real danger. by shutting up shop so legality me calling know that they are cutting off a vital lifeline for fun ripple nicholas but as well as doing it out of concern for their volunteers they hope to move to prompt the authorities to stop ignoring the plight of migrants and force them to take action even ski r.t. paris. ok to another headline stories this hour maria bit and made headlines last month after being arrested in the u.s.

on charges of acting as a russian agent in addition to allegedly working on behalf of the kremlin to interfere in u.s. politics it's also being claimed she was trying to lure american money to russian or to america has spoken to putin as lawyer about the case the full interview will be appearing soon on its you tube channel. well i think if you read the indictment of the case is alleged to be an agent over russia who failed to register with the attorney general and so essentially that means is they haven't charged with espionage and if you read the against or know the allegations or anything spy like about it the sense of the government is conceding that even under their own theory it should fall the piece of paper with the attorney general's office at the beginning of her trip to america everything she did was legal and so my point is this is more a registration type crime than a crime and yet the media and the government some extent are treating it like an

espionage crime. well i mean i think that that allegation was particularly damaging to maria because it makes it more like a spy novel and frankly easier for the public to digest and so editors and producers like those kind of allegations because it seems like this is more like the red sparrow and that was an allegation that was set forth in a proffer by the government meaning they did not produce evidence to back up that allegation at the time we're still waiting to see that and we're not sure it exists or it exists in any meaningful form in the interim it's very hard to see your client kind of dragged through the mud like this which is why i've been trying to push back on that. the south african comedian on presenter of the daily show trevor noah has shot to the top of america's t.v. personalities chart it's based on popularity on social media platforms and on television and he clearly has

a lot of phones but for some his jokes have to often cross the line. all women of every race can be beautiful and i know some of your sitting in the yard but i've never seen a beautiful aborigine yeah but you know what you say you say yes that's to say yes because you haven't seen all of the right plus it's not always about looks maybe aborigine women do special things like jump on top of your. partner but i don't want the world cup the football was. i mean look i get it i get it they have to say it's the french team but look at those guys i guess you don't get that ten by hanging out in the south of france my friends.

i had the stance of i but it wasn't it was the police this is the miners and they wanted money and it was a sad situation no one really knows what happened but everyone has an opinion i like this while that last joke provoked a new wave of rage on social media though it's been years since it was first cracked it's about the twenty twelve must occur when police in south africa killed dozens of people during a miners' strike someone twitter slammed him for using such provocative humor to build his career earlier i asked comedian john f. legal and media analyst lionel if there should be self-censorship in comedy. comedy today is being infiltrated with these croyde ian screw ups these demented twisted angry sexually backwater we're forty and nightmare these

these these pair of files who think it's funny to shock at this say something and whatever they say we're supposed to accept the reality is once we start letting these kind of p.c. monsters come into place and having like you know people decide what is you know what is tolerable and what is good we do cross a mess that we do cross a dangerous line and if somebody does a comedian does want to of their own volition apologize for a bit i think that that is ok like he did apologize for this the bit about saying you know aboriginal people are attractive. to me everything is valid in terms of whether you call it humor or peek into commentary if you don't like it turn it off but a rule might be don't joke about something called dumb ass occur just saying i mean i don't know if there's any rules but i stay away from master curry humor

who decides who gets away with what who gets to say you could say it you could say it right that you're you but you can't that's what bothers me we have to go back to the maracana must occur in the way trevor joked about it let's again listen to a short clip why didn't i use rabbit morning so i didn't use i'd said yes because those things don't work anymore. these are the whole week and they couldn't control people so that's come with ammunition for those guys that weapons plus i guess is a waste of time which strikers have ended because of to against live a little and use that as comedians as creative people we're coming up with a lot of content we're throwing a lot of things out there sure if we say something that's you know that's really inflammatory and you know there can be a backlash and that's something that we have to we have to deal with right or wrong and let's also remember this is trevor noah ok about it so get crazy but if he did made there's jokes about palestinian riots for our prize ings with israeli soldiers . no no no so there's no applicability to humor across the board it's

all what's in and what's not black lives matter sacrosanct the massacre that that's what it all what's a word not oh yes edgy is there a point there that maybe bravery is being lost in company a little bit the easy targets are being joke the part when it comes to the liberal vs conservative liberal. comics tend to you know go done the side of conservatives with the trouble ministration it's in sort of sort of easy for you know mainstream liberal comedians to you know go after the ministration. republican party that's the kind of we'll have a house where they feel. comfortable i go out of these shows would probably be considerably you know would would be happy if there was a hillary clinton presidency but they would have less fodder to go after you know if you're in the right group and the right person the sky's the limit if you're not republican trump supporter perceived to be right wing whatever you get no tolerance

and no exercise of the free liberty of free speech that simple. ok on a similar theme twitter has again find itself at the center of the debate over censorship the latest controversy comes after it imposed a twelve hour suspension on austin peterson a republican candidate in the u.s. state of missouri senate race for what it describes as abusive behavior his suspension came after a writer for the left leaning sure blue website drew a link between peterson's acceptance of bitcoin for campaign financing on the alleged russian hacking of a democratic senator peterson responded to that with a gift featuring joseph stalin some users of its post as offensive and it was subsequently deemed to have violated twitter's rules but the image was actually from the platform's own collection and can be found on its database or twitter ses

they tweets amounted to targeted harassment which is often used to silence voices on the platform but often peterson claims there was more to the suspension. three different emails were sent to me about this saying that i had not done anything wrong mysteriously two days later the band was issued it almost seems as though something had gone on behind the scenes and that this was this was an attempt to suppress my speech during a critical election and it is quite ironic because my response was a was a picture of joseph stalin which was meant to be humorous saying off the gulag and then of course they mass reported me as if i have access to a gulag here in the state of missouri that i could that could be a credible threat mr peterson's bone comes out twitter brings together a special research team to combat prejudice and promote want it defines as collective health and openness on its platform but the plan seems to be causing

upset with the assemble team already being accused of a strong trump bias. something tells me you will certainly start seeing more republicans in congress testing the waters and pushing back against you know because they're brave independent actors and all. like donald trump when you can trump donald. trump's twenty sixteen digital team and cambridge analysts make a help the russians figure out who to target in their fake news campaign on facebook. so the team will work on algorithms not reside incivility and intolerance on twitter on the sets the extent to which people engage with different viewpoints often peterson claims though that the platform despite what i'd say yes is actually making a concerted effort to censor certain ideas and talking points. we don't have free speech in the united states in order to be able to discuss the whether we have free

speech so that we can discuss very controversial things i don't mind if a social media network has a bias i assume a bias but what i prefer is transparency about that bias twitter suppresses conservative and libertarian voices from being able to get their message out because they have a bias and it's deeply disturbing and a threat to american democracy. the state capital of texas may have to rethink its name a report by the equality office in austin suggests taking a closer look because the city's named after a supporter of slavery it's long been a sensitive issue in a city that is considered to be among the most liberal in the united states.

well austin's equality office reviewed all public property to see whether it has any ties to the confederacy darker periods and they came up with a list of street names on monuments that should perhaps be changed or removed although renaming the city is not likely to happen any time soon the issues being assigned media priority well the controversy lies with the city's namesake steven austin the father of texas was secretary of state of the new republic in the nineteenth century but he was a prominent slavery advocate and even infamous and he said that a month's

a painted slaves would turn into a menace he had slaves as domestic servants as well but to today though naming the city after the state funder is common sense says media relations consultant and austin resident junk. they've got this push in texas to try to you know be careful not to withstand anybody but texas is offensive because liberty's offensive the fact that texas is named that capital city is named for the person that started the colony in texas that became the state that's common instead the city council here in austin has made a few a few very rich decisions like banning yogurt so the city council would rather waste taxpayer money on frivolous ideas like this then actually doing real work. our business show boom bust start in minutes stay with us for the.

rush is one of the countries in motion by capacity and all the very high population does that mean russia does need to be concerned about sustainability i would say yes absolutely you are no lucky situation where you have a lot of farm per person so to say you know you have a lot of wealth ecological wealth and but the word is very scarce so that's a huge economic advantage as well and saying wow this is an amazing farm let's look after it well because that's our asset that bill made a loss to live well in the long run. banks are playing the survival guide ecstacy news that long from the start simply penalties are. you serious and there you go instead of. acting.

oh heck no good is a repatriation scheme look at the rest in seven years. philip a separate kaiser for. with the goal make this manufacture consent to stick to the public will. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the flame of merry go round the sun we the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. room or you leave the room.

this is phone bus broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. i'm bart chilton thank you for watching coming up today as president trump says he'll meet with iranian officials with no precondition what does that mean for their number one economic engine oil alex one hile of it helps us figure it out and tells us the latest with the saudi aramco initial public offering its still way yet again plus as the federal open markets committee meets what's the fed reserve up to and will they make any news daniele de martino booth the c.e.o. put all intelligent joins us to tell us and it is your smart t.v. spying on you watch out manila chan gives us the details plus steve malzberg helps us understand how it does that you will leverage the assets and after of you it's a twenty first century box when the sale goes through what's to get to but first we hit a few headlines. tech stocks are in correction territory and some investors are wondering

if the market is moving into a new phase the fabled fang group of stocks facebook alphabet corp the parent of google of course netflix and amazon were all down. difficultly in trading on monday with losses draining from two percent for alphabet to nearly six percent for netflix sometimes fang included stock apple took a much smaller nick of point five percent after monday facebook was down a total of thirteen percent in july the tech heavy nasdaq index closed down one point four percent overall on monday and u.s. president donald trump has said that the he would be willing to meet with the president of iran in response to a question at a joint press conference yesterday with the italian prime minister mr trump expressed a broad general inclination to meet with adversaries with no preconditions so i believe in meeting i would certainly meet with the rand if they want to meet i don't know that they're ready yet to have a hard time right now but i ended the arendelle it was

a ridiculous deal i do believe that they will probably end up wanting to meet and i'm ready to meet anytime they want to and i don't do that from strength or from weakness i think it's an appropriate thing to do if we could work something out that's meaningful not the waste of paper that the other deal was i would certainly be willing to me. mr trump's backing away from the nuclear deal brokered by the five plus the p five plus one group of nations has severely undermined advocates for diplomacy within iran and made meetings with u.s. diplomats a virtual political suicide mission for any iranian official european partners have been quietly see that mr trump's attacks on their hard fought diplomatic achievement and lobbied hard against a trump administration's plans to reimpose economic sanctions that were lifted as part of the accord barring any diplomatic breakthroughs the white house will reimpose economic sanctions against iran next week on currencies metals and in the

auto sector sanctions on shipping and oil iran's primary source of foreign exchange are set to snap back in place in november and as president trump says he'll meet with iranian officials with no preconditions what does that mean for their number one economic engine oil alex of a highly bitch helps us figure it out and tells us the latest on the saudi aramco i.p.o. it's delayed yet again alex let's start with iran what's the latest when it comes to their main export oil. well of the just look at oil itself today dropped by about one dollar to sixty nine dollars and that has a lot to do with this new tone of president trump here diplomacy as it's a funny thing how headlines and press releases actually change oil prices and just this happens to be one of those headlines now that also all of this is wonderful hearing the way trump is talking and i think most of us in this world would like to see diplomacy and discussion above war or bombing people so that's

a great thing but at the same time just these are the the looming sanctions that are supposed to kick in in november are having an impact on you and already we're looking at about one hundred thousand barrels a day last in sales for iran in the month of july and we're hearing that many companies are stepping out of the rent knowing that these sanctions are going to come into play so i mean obviously we're hoping that this doesn't happen that there is a deal struck with the with mr donald trump but we'll see what happens in that respect but let's talk about those companies one of the biggest companies is total total is a french energy giant they've stepped back they were actually the first company to go into ran in two thousand and fifteen when sanctions were dropped and they are stepping out now we're also hearing about banks banks are not willing to finance iranian oil anymore so we can see the impact from their part of that part as well and here's a big india is going to buy less oil from iran they're ready doing so they're trying to play nice nice with the united states and cozy up to the american

government so that might be a big hit now everybody's they hey look iran's done no iran is far from done because there is one country out there buys more oil from iran than anybody else more than india which is number two and that would be china china has already promised you know what we're going to buy more oil if these sanctions kick in and here's a double whammy we're going to wean ourselves off of american oil so when china says something like this the whole world listen. and of course free rent just having that that ally to keep them afloat that's a big deal we've also hearing that russia is willing to step in if some of these companies move out so rand does have some cushioning around it even if the sanctions cake and hopefully though we can hear from mr trump some more and hopefully these people actually do sit down and meet with the iranian government and we don't have to go through this whole dog and pony show it looks alex like you know just oil prices maybe throwing

a monkey wrench into saudi arabia's reform plans there with mohammed bin solomon and at the center of all is that saudi aramco which they say has been delayed what do you know. aramco i mean the what a monster of a company that is and we're talking about a big long term plan here the crown prince of saudi arabia we've talked about this before he wants to modernize his nation and he wants to wean his nation off of oil there rampal i.p.o. was a part of this is pushing this forward forward but a lot of the rank of remco exacts are saying this is not a good time to do it the way that oil prices are going up and down it's probably not their best interest but just let's learn a little bit about aramco i mean does this company's not that here's a couple graphs to explain to you what i've read call really is absolutely huge beat out companies and profit like apple samsung microsoft or you can see exxon is way down there when you compare it to aramco and it would have been the world's

biggest i.p.o. or it will be when this happens that i was the bigger that alley bob and that was a twenty five billion that you're think it was our whole company get a guy p.o.d. that's a no this is a five percent of a rambo we're talking about five percent it's going to be valued anywhere people are saying between fifty and seventy five billion the crown prince was looking more at a hundred billion dollars number in his head that he thought would be wonderful if this deal to actually goes down but it doesn't look like it's going to happen this way we're hearing now that this deal is probably going to be delayed once again as you mention. four into two thousand and nineteen and you know it's really not that bad for the saudis at this point because the crown prince himself has a lot of other business on his hands like economic and social reforms at home as well as the fact that his foreign policy and we're seeing the way things are moving he's paying a lot of attention to that as well and for looking just at the other side of things from. a little bit while back with the crown prince did when he put all those people into the ritz carlton well they collected about one hundred billion dollars

there and that was money that was out there anti corruption deal that they did or the movie forward with that it was absolutely lot of money one hundred billion dollars that's with use hoping for the rent go five percent so they're pretty cushy right now there's their war chest is full they're not really too afraid that they have to do this deal right away but it's something that they'll definitely want to push forward in modernizing their country and becoming a part more so of the world community always great information really really super interesting today thank you so much art to correspondent alex mileage thanks alex. and in the wake of last friday's second quarter g.d.p. numbers of four point one percent the federal reserve's open markets committee meets tuesday and wednesday and what are they discussing and what can we tell you about it here to help is the c.e.o. quil intelligence and the author of fed up why the federal reserve is bad for

america daniel de martino book danielle thank you welcome it's always the u.s. economy has accelerated that four point one percent growth rate in q two and that's the quickest pace and twenty fourteen and president trump has and should rightly claim some victory for his policies and when we look at growth in light of the f o m c meeting today and tomorrow in washington what are the metrics that the governors are going to be considering. well i think that they're going to be trying to figure out what happens on the other side of this great big report will we see sustained growth of this level in the quote in the third quarter that we're currently in you know two tipped on the plus side we have indeed seen inventories run down dramatically which was a surprise in the second quarter g.d.p. report one of the reasons that some analysts have their forecast upwards of five percent so we know that we're going to have a lot of support going into the third quarter the question will come down to what

is happening with u.s. households their ability to keep spending at the levels they've been spending at their ability to keep pulling this economy along and we actually got some consumer confidence data today bart that suggests we have a pullback in the offing right now i saw that and they revised the number two and and we're speaking about those numbers daniel recall back i think we've spoken about it i'm sure we have back in the campaign in two thousand and sixteen there is the president look at the campaign trail as it were to get four five six maybe seven percent g.d.p. and a lot of us said oh come on you know what do you smoke and but i want to explain for all the boom busters out there when we look at the economy and the fed talks about a one point eight percent g.d.p. growth rate and so does the congressional budget office i mean what's really something that we could expect if we're if we're at four point one now get to the end of the year is it two is it three. well i think that there is

a high possibility that we actually see a three percent annual figure which really would be extraordinary given how slow this recovery has been but again i think the fed is going to try and focus more on what happens after the third quarter what happens going into the fourth quarter i mean as you just mentioned campaign promises can be whatever campaign promises can be i mean look at what the italians promised all of their people craziness but just the same going further out past this year look at it this way i'm in new york today bart if wall street firms have begun to budget for a recession to hit in the year twenty twenty that really means that they're internally budgeting for twenty nineteen there's no way that i think we can completely eradicate the business cycle so there will be slowing at some point in the next twelve months in my view and that's why i think they have these estimates of one point eight so two questions on that one is and this is not a reflection on this president or any other president i mean the demographics just

aren't there you've got folks like me the baby boomers were getting older were were not in the workforce and so then we were we quarter the rest of the economy to support retirees so the impact on growth is going to be negative just on the demographics right while the demographics are certainly not supportive of growth going forward the last time that we went into a downturn in two thousand and eight the entire baby boomer population had a lot more optionality than they have today they were able to say you know what i'm going to stay in the workforce for another decade now we see the outer edge of the one nine hundred forty six birth year turning seventy two this year so this is the same optionality is simply not there which means that there's going to be a drag as they start to take pull at their retirement assets they'll be a drag on the stock market they'll be a drag on public pensions so these are things that cannot be argued that this was the largest generation in u.s. history and it will take some money a lot of money to finance.
