2:33 am
arabia paid seven hundred fifty million dollars to american specialists for training it said was meant to reduce civilian casualties independent political analyst dan glazebrook believes humanitarian concerns are unlikely to change the u.s. position on the conflict. their war in yemen really is that is the vietnam of this generation reality will force a change but unfortunately morality won't a bus full of under ten's being butchered will not change the stand of the us the resistance on the ground will ultimately change the standard of the us i mean brutal and disgusting as this latest massacre is the reality is that at least one hundred thirty children. have been being killed by this for every single day that's according to save the children not necessarily food direct asked rights but through . famine conditions as a result of the deliberate targeting and this is well documented by the aggressive
2:34 am
by the aggressor forces that the deliberate targeting of agricultural infrastructure of key transport infrastructure necessary to moving supplies around the country. and of course the pull of the blockade that arbitrarily stops key supplies going into the country. any time worse than that that's been ongoing for for over a year this this shocking figure of one hundred thirty children per day dying as a result of the aggression. donald trump has denounced a former aide on twitter after she revealed a tape which she claims as a recording of her being fired on medical newman also accused the president of having no clue about what was going on in the white house trump though says she was just a bad employee she begs me for a job tears in your eyes i said ok people in the white house hated her she was vicious but not smart i would really see what hurt really bad things nasty to people and would constantly miss meetings and work when gen kelley came on board he
2:35 am
told me she was a loser nothing but problems i told him to try working it out of possible because she only said great things about me until she got fired. our washington correspondents american explains what sparked the tit for tat showdown between president trump and his former advisor. well trump's former aide omarosa newman who gained fame on trump's reality show the apprentice has now landed up in controversy with her ex boss evel rosa oh rosa man i got a new image. the secret recording reality star turned white house aide is she a whistleblower or is she a fame junkie newman was fired towards the end of twenty seventeen and then she began writing a memoir about her time working in the trump white house which is set to release this tuesday now in her book she called her former boss a racist a bigot and a massage miss and then she had a lot of things to say about the administration as well check it out this is a white house where everybody lies the president lies to the american people sarah
2:36 am
huckabee stands in front of the country and lies every single day you have to have your own back because otherwise you'll look back and you'll see seventy knives in your bag cording to trump however she begged him for the job but newman is telling quite a different story as she does the rounds on mainstream media sharing private white house recordings with the entire country in one of them trump a surprise that she's been fired but she claims he's not the one pulling the strings the second audiotape is a recording of her getting fired in the situation room let's take a quick look but as you could push this the president is with nowhere to go it's not the down the road this isn't the discussion but many are now trying to figure out how she recorded her firing in what's supposed to be the most secure room and all of the white house.
2:37 am
and this believe it or not even has a former staffer scratching their heads i've never heard of a more serious breach of protocol not only is it not typical something like this is unprecedented no proper employee of the white house brings funds into to seach ration room it's totally privet it as someone who's spent
2:38 am
a fair amount of time in the situation room i can't even begin to wrap my head around how insane this is if a carrot for example a cell phone into the situation room the not only did she record conversations that but so potentially has any country or criminal organization thought to hack a phone it's no wonder the media always cites leaks and anonymous sources at least now we can check off one earlier i spoke to former u.s. diplomat jim john chancellor think security at the white house may have to be increased. it's something i'm afraid we'll have to consider now look i think there is an element of truth here in terms of the backbiting the backstabbing the contentious contention that goes on in this white house but frankly to some extent i think has gone on in other white houses well i think maybe it's worse in this one partly because of the sea jabba's fear that the trumpet ministration has experienced from day one and had to be honest knowing some of the people that are
2:39 am
that are in that situation i'm not sure they're all as any more trustworthy than. the suicide bomber has detonated explosives at the office of the electoral commission in the afghan capital people had gathered there to protest the disqualification of multiple candidates running in parliamentary elections journalist civil tongue five zero reports now from kabul. some of the supporters of those candidates who were disqualified from to run for the parliamentarian elections they were they were gathering in a nearby the independent election commission headquarters a suicide bomber according to police tried to approach the gathering but detonated his explosive ahead of approaching the gathering and he killed himself and one other from from this who were nearby also killed two others wounded but this you know the protests against are you see or elect independent electoral
2:40 am
commission all the presidential palace actually has been taking place since since a week almost a yesterday we had another protest and a gathering that some m.p.'s who are accused of being and. having every sponsible armed man protested. the same way and they were accusing the government of. the process and they were angry and actually this process has been continuing today we have another one in a different place so we are expecting that it will it will actually take. take place more of these kind of events because it's the first in the afghan election history. in which is about one hundred fifty kilometers southwest of the capital is facing fierce clashes between taliban and afghan forces
2:41 am
will report say hundreds have been killed on both sides so that in five the again has more details on the newest taliban threat facing the afghan government minister of interior said that confirmed the death of seventy security forces in battlefield two with the taliban in gaza. that has been taking place since four days but also i have. heard from some local sources in gaza need that taliban actually order now with rolling from those locations that have been committing. attacks against. various government is solutions since for days the situation is actually really harsh and the hospital is full of dead bodies and wounded and i have seen fresh footage from gaza new dad is telling a lot of stories inside the city people are really scared and the highways have
2:42 am
been blocked since for days that communication has been down and people cannot communicate with their relatives or we even cannot talk to the more our local officials or residents in gaza need it has been a very harsh time for gaza it has been like a waltz to city but the government is now saying that they are trying to expel the taliban and they are trying to secure the city but we will see what will happen next recent study said the taliban forces control or have influence in more than forty percent of afghan territory least expert risk says america's campaign there has not only failed but has actually boosted extremism. so-called war on terror which was launched after the september eleventh attacks has shows us that this war has turned out to be an utter failure taliban are always in a stronger position than it ever was ever since it was ousted from power but i don't think the u.s. can do anything if it continues with its own focus just on military attacks you
2:43 am
know militarily speaking it hasn't succeeded so i don't think there is much that the u.s. can do in that regard that i think it's proof that the u.s. has been pursuing a wrong strategy in defeating terrorism on the contrary i think that the u.s. involvement up until now when the focus on military force in the region has led to the growth of terrorism and sort of leading to the alter the curbing of terrorism i think that is clear from what we see in afghanistan. acting contest in the u.s. has shown that it does not take a top notch russian computer expert to get into america's election infrastructure turns out in an eleven year old can do it in a prank or as commentary. learn more about the twenty hacking contest that's what the link says and yes it's from
2:44 am
a real website and the contests are real too it's for kids and it's not being held in russia wide this is america anyway meet the winner eleven year old audrey they need. to be me we can cause in the our own name it reminds me that we won the election and it just took her ten minutes to hack a replica of an election office website in one of the battleground states. these are members of congress they work hard to approve budget grants to sort out election cyber security the one for twenty was three hundred eighty million bucks these are child hackers i mean contestants they tap their keyboards to prove that within minutes america's election systems are a piece of garbage thirty five out of the thirty nine youngsters taking part this year were able to do just that so how come there haven't been any warnings for
2:45 am
a grown up specialists well actually there have always been the writing machine is different states and it's extremely easy to get an advantage because this is mostly so let me show you how quick it is static a little under two minutes. you don't need any totals to do that. and now i have. full advantage it looks like you don't have to turn pro to be a meddling master and outsmart security efforts worth hundreds of millions of dollars don't bother guessing hole be the ones to take advantage come november we've already been told many times there's no doubt russian hackers ahead of the midterm they know it was arrogant and security of. the russians are targeting members of congress the us. midterm elections are just around the corner and russia's attack continues to haunt the united states russian election interference
2:46 am
in the twenty eight hundred midterms the russians have not reduced their hacking it's even the first thing the prodigy's at the conference will tell you right there which could also be a great excuse when someone asks the suits why the systems vulnerable to say the least by the way when the good will hackers look to back up their previous conference they wrote if russia can attack our election so can others iran north korea isis or even criminal or extract groups because let's face it if hacking an american election is child's play perhaps it's time the guys in charge did their homework on where the real threats are. now for something completely different there is some good news for men who get caught short in central paris so long as they do not mind for going their privacy when answering a call of nature your thought is have installed
2:47 am
a number of open air urinals along the banks of the sand to try and counter men who go in the street rather than make the effort to use proper toilets the i go friendly urinals are used composting and the mayor of paris thinks that they are in inexpensive way to stop the stink in the streets cities in other countries have been trying similar contraptions but they seem to be a step too far for the usually permissive region. this is what you get with the personally i'm slightly in favor of it so it might entertain the ladies who will be able to judge the quality of men's prostates going by how far away they are standing but apart from that i don't find it interesting to repeat the same as far as modesty is concerned it's inadmissible that people can urinate by taking their thing out in the street like that it's unacceptable. so well there you have it you're watching the international stay with us.
2:48 am
2:49 am
a global currency big oil that will be controlled by people not any subtle government so it has the chance to do what galt failed to do to escape the te's of these subtle bankers and the ph d. wielding economists. business phone both broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. i'm parked children thank you for watching coming up a fellow for your quote of who that the german drug maker faire newly acquired one fanfold company is to pay two hundred eighty nine million dollars regarding exposure to two between killers archies sara montana's the gives us the latest and
2:50 am
we have more on crip those and watching with christie are the co-founder and managing partner of counterpart plus is a market correction around the corner and which stocks like be impacted more or less by the trade wars i sat down with the arm of the c.e.o. of the stops to show. i asked and the national retail federation has new optimistic projections for the remainder of the year steve bould first help us take a look at that and back to school companies which ones should be doing well this time of year all that directly ahead but first we get to the. european union regulators are taking a closer look at some of the smallest e.u. members cyprus and malta and their findings could have a big impact on the flows of people and capital across europe and the world critics of characterize immigration policies in malta cyprus and six other e.u. nations over citizenship by investment policies that criticize that critics call citizenship for sale now the e.u.
2:51 am
commissioner for justice vera jo orbit says brussels will examine similar policies and practices across the e.u. especially in relation to money laundering and corruption while residents permits can be purchased in more than half of the e.u. nations brussels is especially concerned about the combination of pay for passport policies with lax transfer policies by natural transfer policies that is mr georgia says clearly signaled geo political concerns behind the probe telling the financial times quote it's a big concern when a russian citizen who has worked at all life in middleware senior management were salaries aren't very high suddenly has the money to buy citizenship in malta. and speaking of russia finance minister anton still in awe of says he has his colleagues are reacting to a growing crusade of u.s. sanctions by quite sensibly reducing their exposure and investments in u.s. dollars and securities last week the trump white house impose new sanctions on russia in retaliation for russia's alleged poisoning of
2:52 am
a former russian spy of his daughter which the minister is characterized as quote unpleasant but not fatal the finance minister also rejected calls from some hotter heads in the russian duma for the expulsion of u.s. companies from russia arguing quote our citizens work in these companies these companies paid. taxes into the budget of our country the minister also said he has no plans to ban the use of u.s. dollars in russia and may have sought to lower the rhetoric oracle temperature after the prime minister said this past friday that u.s. actions against russian banks would be taken as a quote declaration of economic war. and as noted at the top of the broadcast there is major consumer safety and product liability news out of the united states a san francisco court is awarded two hundred eighty nine million dollars in damages to a plaintiff after finding roundup the life of faith based herbicide formula marketed by monsanto cause cancer into when johnson that's de wayne johnson not of course the former wrestler turned actor the rock dwayne johnson the plaintiff and victim
2:53 am
and former high school grounds keeper argued that he contracted non hodgkins lymphoma from using monsanto's product twenty to thirty times a year at work mr johnson's case was handled under expedited processes granted to plaintiffs who are dying mr johnson's lawyer timothy listen bird told c.n.n. that nearly forty five hundred cases similar to mr johnson have already been filed and while mr johnson's quiets two sons will soon lose their father the late mr lets a bird said the award will give mr johnson some final comfort the jurors awarded two hundred fifty million dollars in punitive damages and thirty million in compensation and mr listen also said that if months choose to appeal the verdict they would risk having to pay an additional twenty five million dollars of your early interest on that initial damage award. and monsanto is owned by the german drug maker bear a buyer heir g. how you depending on how you say it which brought the bought the company in june for sixty two point five billion dollars and as you might expect shares
2:54 am
a bear fell brutally today here with some more is. the ok how are the markets reacting to this i know it was a bear was taking a big decline how bad was it well they are shared they playing spy eleven percent most the most of its punch in fifteen years so bear purchased monsanto like you mentioned just a few months ago for a sixty three billion dollars obviously the california jury voted in favor of doing johnson and this leads away for future trials to come now this was a huge thing but california still. one of fifty states i mean what about the rest of the states in the us well this definitely might suck president this is only like you said one paying out two hundred eighty nine million dollars the next lawsuit is scheduled to start in the fall in st louis missouri there are more than four thousand cases around the us and this is unlike any class action lawsuit so this
2:55 am
was filed in federal district litigation so this means that each case will have their own separate trial meaning when santa could really face paying out billions to people in years and years of litigation how about outside of the u.s. other countries must be a look at this also so this is a global issue many european countries such as germany and france south american countries like argentina colombia many people have taken to the streets to protest voicing their concerns especially after they are bought out monsanto for that amount so this this isn't just a one for dewayne johnson and he said it himself this is a bigger when that could lead to to more and you know we talked about that sixty two point five billion bucks but do you think bear baby having a little bit of buyer's remorse i assume that you know the big obviously knew these things were out there but do you think they knew the extent to which the damage could be you know i really don't know very very well could have but they are planning to appeal against the verdict on friday so we'll just have to follow it
2:56 am
and wait and see what happens you know these months santo is not new to these sorts of class action lawsuits we've had you know decades of asbestos related cases and those still continue actually so they've been sort of a poster child for bad behavior in this area not only with their specialist but but now of course with roundup in the ranger pro i guess is the other other thing so things not looking good for them even in colombia many drones fumigate these coca leaf fields endangering many people and you know these are. application are are most certainly probably off label concentration so they're likely with off label additives affecting people all over the world global issue hold continue to watch we thank you for your help serum want to thank you so much sure appreciate your. you know it's time we got to talk about kryptos we had christy are here she's here again we didn't have chance last like we're going to get to
2:57 am
a couple of things now kristie you and i have talked in the past about exchange traded funds and a crypto backed or crypto related basket of e.t.f. that the f.c.c. this year is change commission may approve we talked about that being in august but it looks like they pushed that off what do we know so this has been postponed it's been a huge disappointment to the entire crypto currency market as this was going to be the catalyst to bring institutional investors and institutional money into the market so the fact that it's been postponed until september thirtieth is a huge letdown for many people and to be honest i think that they're probably postponed again until next year as they see out the power to them postpone it again and again until february next year which is the final deadline which i think is most likely case that will happen so but in the big grander scheme of things i think that it's actually a good thing because this means that the f.c.c. is taking their time to review the proposal by solid x. and then act which is a very good proposal that i.c.c. could have just rejected it completely live like they did with the e.t.f. but they did it and that means that they're taking this decision very seriously and
2:58 am
weighing the systemic risks and implications that bring to the market will be i've spoken with the people of the city and commissioners in particular if they want to approve something they want to say yes but they are not going to put their stamp of approval on it unless they're absolutely sure so i think you're right on target what they're doing their thing i wanted to ask you about was recently ohio the ohio legislature when a head and a former league knowledge blocked cheating as a legitimate system for recording anything really they're the second state it was arizona i think back in april this year but this is a big deal this is absolutely a huge deal because this essentially legitimized this technology for its utility purpose its core purpose of mechanism so what senate bill two twenty did was it gave block based documentation the same legal waiting and status as any other document. which means that using or key to sign up to sign a transaction now bears the same legal ramifications as you putting your signatures
2:59 am
down on a contract so this legitimizes the industry as a whole it will allow medical and legal records to be recorded on a digital ledger and it actually brings real waiting to the industry because now smart contracts are a binding contract and it's no longer just a mechanism or a function or a handshake deal it is a real contract binding transaction and not only is it an immutable record that will be good for these transactions whether or not it's a title or medical records we decide to be more transparent when appropriate it's a big area that's going to continue ohio's a second state but this could be a lot more to come christiane wish she is a crypto expert co-founder of managing partner of counterpart x. thanks christi for india. and time now to squeeze in a quick break but linger longer because when we get back is a market correction around the corner i sat down with both are about to see all the stops to get her take on i asked her which stocks might be more impacted by the
3:00 am
recent trade plus the national retail federation has some optimistic projections for the remainder of the year steve walford help to take a look at that and at what company should be doing well with regard to going back to school and be right back after this. thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you.
