sixteen and of course when it comes to the topic of russia and being somehow involved in the country julian assange self has denied any of these allegations over and over again really countless times tell source is not the russian government and it is not all that. something a fourteen year old kid a fourteen year old kid could practice so they have to try to break is that russian intelligence services hillary clinton stated multiple times falsely seventeen u.s. intelligence agencies had assisted. russia was. the source of all publications. that's false and of course the latest that was talked about in washington is twelve russian intelligence officers who were said to have broken into the d.n.c. server and taken sensitive information to be passed on to julian assange and wiki leaks to be later published so hopefully with this kind of testimony that will now

apparently be taking place sometime soon with the u.s. intelligence committee more lights can be shed in terms of setting the record straight human rights activist peter tatchell believes the senate's often maybe just an excuse to go after a son's. i suspect that their motives are not purely about this issue of alleged russian interference in the us elections i think it's probably something much bigger and relating to the other materials that journalists aren't has published in the past i think they want to snare him into somehow admitting or implying that he got information from russian sources that that seems to be the focus of their attention. and i think it also may well be a way of gathering further evidence against him for use in any subsequent prosecution in the united states so during a sanch has to tread very carefully and i'm sure he's quite capable of doing so the

wiki leaks founder has been stuck in the ecuadorian embassy in london for six years now over fears he will be extradited to the united states if you leave the building is a recap of what his revelations have angered washington. look . look. i'm. told. oh. cut lol lol lol. lol lol.

lol lol. lol. lol lol does the n.s.a. collect any data on the millions of those who are told with the leaks walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile takeover of service. stay with us have one you said you know i just after this short break.

what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president. i want to. let you go i believe this is what about four three in the morning people are. interested always in the water our. thanks to. our.

international iraq and sons social media platforms our policing what's acceptable to say and think of the numerous accounts but i'm going to be tearing down conservative figures alleged hate speech trenchard takes a look at what's now considered a violation of texas shots policies. what matters are all of the stories we hear from all of you about the impact your connections have had on your lives you can choose from an infinite range of topics that interest you and then usually follow that topic in the news countries and cultures that got together like yesterday. that was the online world as we used to know it all fluids to any of those pesky

folks trying to set limits and two thousand and eighteen you'll be told to hold up if twitter decides there are spots of your world that shouldn't be discovered what if you're keen to know what someone has to say let it be former u.s. diplomat peter van buren you might as well unfollowing your interests the man's profile is shut down for good because he jokingly wish someone had eaten the face of his opponent in a twitter rant honestly that's by far not the most offensive thing you can find online but what's abusive about showing mr van buren some support to users who did so got bands to it's not about me it's not about the group of us who have band together i think it's a bigger issue and it's an issue that's that's raised his head this week people like us who are not part of the legacy media we're not new york times shapers of opinion we're also allowed to have our say so if someone from the new york times or

the washington post put something up that we know is false we can refute it almost in real time that's very threatening i think for the powers that be this tendency to want to shut people down if they disagree with you is very dangerous it's going down a very slippery slippery slope toward totalitarianism there's a word for that see and ask. well someone saw it coming when even perhaps the most controversial online talking had alex jones was told get out of here by all major platforms after all they all have to stick to their own rules. keep people safe from hate speech but then even those anti-left who come to hate jones went on alert could be because they thought someone would click on their profiles and see a hold up pop up alex jones a bad guy but the problem is that once you start saying that hate speech is a rationale for banning people from social media you get in some very very big territory. i'm no fan of jones some other things he has

a habit of repeatedly slandering my dad by falsely and absurdly accusing him of killing j.f.k. but who the hell made facebook the arbiter of political speech free speech includes views you disagree with but there's no turning back when it comes to the online censorship evolution so i'm not sure it works like that anymore mr cruz plus people on the left are ecstatic bring it on is their call and if it is even a crucial step forward in the fight against fake news and fringe extremism. info wars is the tip of a giant iceberg of hate and lies the uses sites like facebook can use you to tear a nation of posts these companies must do more than take down one website the survival of our democracy depends on it the world is getting older and a bit more author a tarion only lately a top u.s. intelligence committee democrat has come up with twenty legislative proposals for

keeping online platforms under a close watch brace yourself as you might soon have to say goodbye to things like anonymous posts or accounts that can't be tracked down yep that covers just two of the twenty. despite closing numerous accounts twitter is the only major platform that is not blocked addicks jones who mentioned there was a host of social media giants this is led to twitter though being criticized for being too tolerant response twitter c.e.o. tweeted that jones hadn't violated any of the platforms rules. canada and saudi arabia are in the midst of a diplomatic feud and so far the u.s. is staying out of it riyadh expelled the canadian ambassador after the tower saudi arabia to release jailed human rights activists the saudis have also frozen all trade and investment corporation with canada the u.s.

state department though has taken a neutral starts they've merely said they are aware of the situation it's the latest twist in a tense relationship between donald trump and the canadian prime minister justin trudeau. we have had conversations with them about pertains to ghana but we would encourage both governments to work out their issues to get their reaction should be . should be i respect the rights of individual countries to work. with. who's become a friend of my prime minister just as. you. will. stick at the feet. of foreign affairs correspondent eric margolis believes washington is reluctant to support canada traditionally its

closest ally. us citizen has no interest or sees no interest in getting involved in this spiel and i mean it's very there's very little sympathy for canada in washington. antipathy dislike between was trying to go in canada. doesn't manage the american leftists like his father was so. there is no american support but it's still unfortunate because the two countries are very well its neighbors and most canadians would suspect the us would stick up for them. a time now for the second in a series of reports on the fate of russian families who moved to syria to join islamic state in a question about travel to southern russia to talk to

a woman sentenced to eight years in prison on terrorism charges after she followed her husband to the country. the clock is ticking on zagat uts current life sentenced to eight years behind bars for being part of an illegal armed group she won't actually go to jail until her youngest child turns fourteen and she's only one right now less than twelve months ago her life was old very different i was twenty nine when i left i went to turkey first with my husband i never thought i would end up there. within seven months as i did that was living in syria and pregnant with her third child she says her husband had been drawn to islam and a better life. he told me it was safe to go there he said it wasn't how it was being shown that was snowball me he said no war but the reality turned out to be

far more spin anything on t.v. they lived for two years in the city of topic which at the times was under isolates control than they moved to rocca and she spent every day living in fear. so even my girl knew she was only eight years old but she could tell the difference what was coming and american her kids explain a fighter jet drone she could tell by the sound of it. what are they hiding yes well they either went downstairs or just simply stayed at home i took them out into the hole and we laid on the floor so that any shrapnel wouldn't hit us that could add struggles to share her story she tries to stay emotionally distant from the past speaks quietly rarely looking into the camera she says she wanted to return home right from the start i told my husband that i want to go back but i couldn't live but the moment i started talking about it we had fights he told me if you want

to leave leave but i will not let you take the kids away. i knew he was able to do that he had that sort of character and i was afraid later on when they were living in iraq and her husband was killed in a drone strike leaving zagi dad all alone with three children i started looking for ways to get out but it's not that easy you can't just leave that place it all has to be done in secret there are people that can throw you out trick i only talk to those who i knew well and one day i was told that there was this wrote that there was a way out. that claims she had no way dia alive she was leading would leave her on the wrong side of russia's anti terror laws. i stayed at home on the flight i had my children i had no time for anything else i was at home taking care of my kids. she was one of the seven women and fourteen children brought back to russia in the

autumn twenty seventeen as part of a companion organized by chechen officials to repaginate the families of men who went to fight with islam ik terrorists. i'm very grateful to everyone who helped launch this complaint to save many women and children. but while they were lucky to escape from the war in syria to put a rival in grozny she was detained by police three months later she was convicted and sentenced for being part of an illegal armed group. and while the law she broke is designed to help thwarted terror attacks some people argue that family members of radicalized individuals should not be targeted. these people need rehabilitation they need to be close to their family members under the care of their mothers they're under huge dress and prison will not help them it will only meet the more harsh i believe it's wrong to put them behind bars for now

is that good at leaves with her mother in dagestan she has to report. to the police every month and can't leave the region it's difficult for both her and her brother to find work as they're on the official police list it means they will have to get by on their mother a small salary as a post office worker despite all this they could add sas she's just happy to see her children safe little girl i was literally suffering that because i was unable to provide food for my children he told me constantly mom we are hungry they were colliding. and now he says that congress let's go to the merry go round that's go to the seaside we always go after anyway i don't do it now we go everywhere. money's hard and so my lovely home safe i. was you. r.t. dagestan. just come two thirty am here in moscow that's all from

a team of us all for the south join us again in forty five minutes for the latest global news update. but it was supposed to some of us it was a. what if this had been the. last time we chased. each one of them carrying twenty kilos of drugs to this very first

offense down. below that they just stepped right through. into the very we i mean the monocle man they believe they have insisted this is for me. it will be a well i don't know maybe they'll get a make or. break. for now well. this is boom bust broadcasting around the world from washington d.c.

on bart chilton and thank you for joining us coming up today we're boom busting to the edges of the program most of our most helpless analyzed muscling usual week we also look at why over a lift the other right appealing services might soon become more costly and tougher to find in new york city and. potentially other cities around the world would be able to sister parties trinity charges and alex smile of it considers the escalating clash and conflict between canada and saudi arabia what's the potential business and financial impact still tell us plus would examine the right to work referendum we noted on the program last time in missouri and discussed what it might mean for u.s. labor laws laws with boom bust loans and no brito plus many of us recall the controversial dakota accessing keystone x.l. pipeline as well now there's another brewing pipeline controversy archies monella channel fills in on the details and as housing prices after four years may finally be starting to slow what does that mean for the u.s.

housing market kathy fed he the c.e.o. co c.e.o. of real wealth network gives us her take all that ahead but we pop start with tesla and the unusual tweet by must yesterday that we noted on the broadcast coming up we have the lists are most here's what happened yesterday mr market trading into a tizzy after tweeting quote and considering taking tesla private at four hundred twenty dollars funding secured tesla shares soared then hit a circuit breaker where nasdaq trading was temporarily halted tesla stock ended closing up eleven percent on the day and here to help us out is the forementioned c.e.o. of a stock's wish was our mo while melissa this was really a bombshell wasn't it and mr musk has talked previously about the short sellers that he was gay were going to take a hit this certainly struck them in the shorts didn't it. yes it did and i have breaking news actually to announce right now three minutes ago was just it was just

announced that the f.c.c. is investigating what text it out so that is breaking news just happened three minutes ago. doing that and that's great and you know when i when i saw this it did remind me thinking about the back to that circumstance in two thousand and twelve when the netflix c.e.o. reed hastings posted not twitter but he posted on his facebook his personal facebook site that they had streamed one billion hours of content in a month and you know that was obviously had an impact on their stock price and that resulted in a c.c. guidance about the fair disclosure rule and so it doesn't surprise me about this but he could be in some potential legal jeopardy i suppose right well but the stock had a. move yesterday it was unprecedented and one day the stock lifted it almost made a new high and it did have a greater report and it did rally on the earnings a couple of days ago but the move it had on tuesday was unprecedented and it ran up

to three of the seven previous high the stock had been three eighty nine so that we did inside buying this stock and not only that as you would mention tesla is one of the most heavily shorted stocks right now for some reason people are are are not i guess believing in what the company is doing or what they want to do for only a brief period and this was months and months ago back at the end of march and the beginning of april did the stock look like it was starting to turn it technically speaking into a downtrend but it lifted back up again very quickly and its relative or since i would never have been short that stock after it decided that it didn't want to continue to decline the earnings like i said were good so people are betting against you on must get people are betting against tesla and i'm not i don't think that he sent that tweet out to necessarily create a scare or a story of by him but i'm i'm i'm i don't really know. well if he's serious about this are not but there is there is an upside of the downside the downside is

they're going to lack capital if they end up deciding to go private if they want to do all these creative things which he likes to do the upside is that he's not going to have to deal with the scrutiny of being a public corporation any more so it is unclear if he has financing where's the financing coming from there's been so much talk and scuttlebutt about it there's you know so many chinese funds out there that would probably love to bypass not have the money to do it but the question is would that would see if this is a u.s. government agency would they allow that to even go through yeah absolutely well i imagine that there are a lot of general counsels you know public companies all over the country especially there in new york are talking to their c.e.o.'s and their v.p. is about what they should and shouldn't do and rereading that i pulled it out earlier here today that see. the two thousand and thirteen reed hastings their guidance again and it's really important it says look you know

social media is new but that could have an impact on investors so be very careful you do all the deal with due diligence you need hey before we let you go melissa i want to ask you about another thing news breaking today we're breaking all sorts of news congressman chris collins an incumbent congressman from new york was arrested and charged by the federal prosecutors with insider trading and lying to the f.b.i. and the story is that i guess the congressman delivered nonpublic information about this australian company innate immunotherapy therapeutics firm which he's a principal shareholder to give the information to his son and his son supposedly gave it to others to trade up on and the u.s. attorney jeffrey berman said look he cheated our markets and our justice system what do you make of this. well again you know innocent emperor until proven guilty otherwise but so far the news that's out there the story is that the case against him is that he called this son his son own stock in that company and sold the stock

before the news became public and not only that i also read that the sun shorted the stock so that when the drop happened the sun made money on that and then the sun's fiance and the sons found safe father so there's there's a chain there are family members now whether or not he did anything illegal himself per of these laws and regulations that is for the attorneys to decide because apparently he did not sell any of his own stock or short the stock so telling someone is that illegal i don't know again going to play station i'm sure it is yeah. he did make money on it just not a good one i will be following it and talking about it more in the program most of thank you so much for endeavoring also on that on that one too and thanks for all the tesla stuff we'll see you get a little armor see all the stocks. and now we look at some other breaking news today if you use over or lift the right hailing services you may want to listen up in new york city those rights may soon be harder to find and if you do

get one they may be even more expensive than they already are here's our teams correspondent trinity troubles with the details as writer and companies like cooper and left are becoming increasingly popular taxi drivers are struggling to make a living but now they may be getting help from lawmakers new york may become the first major u.s. city to cap the number of ride sharing drivers on the new york streets all this after recent congestion in the city and two years of complaints and protests from taxi drivers over the plummeting value of taxi medallions i never thought i would ever hear the day that he yellow medallion would be a risky investment was always considered like having a seat on the stock exchange and that was what it was completed so although there is more than thirteen thousand taxis in the city there are more than one hundred thousand licensed drivers for ride sharing apps something taxi driver say is crippling their industry they now own regularly in the city they've had one hundred thousand cause to new york city and the past two years whereas there was only thirteen thousand cause for the last fifty years so within two years without

environmental impact studies what out anything what would it do to the city so now we have congestion new york city council is meeting today to vote on proposals that will cap new licenses for car service drivers for one year while officials analyze the changes that have impacted the taxi industry also being considered as imposing minimum wage for drivers which would also be the first in the nation it was inevitable that you were going to have a service like and live steppin and now that the the drivers are all complaining i mean there's nothing you can do about that this is an open capitalist society however over a lift are saying that the cap will hurt minority communities that don't happen liable mass transit and increased wait times for everyone and reduce service. now these are the medallions that taxi drivers are talking about they were once word got around a million dollars that today we're right here in companies dumping the streets they're only worth around six hundred thousand reporting

a york city that's our take. and some of the biggest names in the mining sector are shoveling some of the profits and their accounts into dividends and stock buybacks as we've reported similar stories have played out in other industries and sectors as u.s. corporations recycle their gains on of the tax cuts and marginal gains from tariffs related turbulence into profit taking rather than making investments that could increase productivity efficiency glencore energy for example today announced a twenty three percent increase in their first eighteen setting a new company record but also announcing they will prioritize using their available capital for buybacks glencore c.e.o. ivan glasenberg told reporters on today's earnings report call quote right now buybacks may be the best returns we can get the wall street journal reports that mining stock has been among the most profitable sectors worldwide with major investor dividend payouts even last year from mining firms including glencore rio tinto ballet and angle american. the feud between the kingdom of saudi arabia and

canada over jailing of women's rights activist which reported yesterday seems to be intensifying the kingdom took offense at canada's call for the release of jailed women's rights activist now the financial times of london is reporting that the saudi kingdom central bank and state pension funds have ordered the managers of their one hundred billion dollars in investment abroad to execute and sell off all holdings of canadian equities bonds and even cash the monarchy has also now suspended all flights from canada by state owned saudi arabia airlines and earlier today in riyadh the saudi foreign minister reiterated the hardline policy shift telling reporters quote canada made a mistake and they know what they need to do to correct it and here to bring us up to speed on the whole diplomatic. then the impact it could have on markets we now turn to our correspondent alex mann hile that you joins us live from toronto canada alex welcome as always from a financial perspective what does this look like for canada and the saudis like i

mean for the saudis this is an easy target they get offended by criticism really easily it seems and we're talking about four billion dollars worth of trade here between canada and the saudi arabians one point two billion of that is actually what canada exports to saudi arabia so boo hoo really for the canadian standpoint no really big deal when you're talking about the big picture but look what the saudis have done ok so we can break this down quite easily we start with the ambassador of canada being booted out of saudi arabia then they pulled their ambassador from here and then they just started to trickle down into other sectors saying no new foreign investment or investment in canada no trade with canada nothing new can happen with canada and then of course the newest is when this my favorite favorite is we barley they're not allowing wheat and barley in from canada that all the numbers here quite big if you look one hundred thirty to two thousand tons of barley.
