to. several of the recent incidents involving american police have stakes controversy just a warning you may find some of the following images disturbing. ok gotta go you. won't was. home. thank you still. you want thank you. thank you thank you thank you. to you thank you thank you. i. love to discuss the fs cross live to jonathan mason activist and community need to end the u.s. state of minneapolis and jonathan good to have you on the program thank you for
1:38 am
joining us and let us for about this a shape say this is far from the controversial tasing by police in the u.s. why do incidents like this seem to be on the rise i i truly think these type incidents are coming because. once again i think there's a lack of cultural. of here news to each other they the cultures are make seen and they don't know how to interact with each other and for example like you just said the eighty seven year old woman she didn't speak english and due to her sheer age i think the officers had ample. opportunities to maybe deescalate this situation versus tasing this woman and we know with a. i think there was an article with the heart association that if you do directly tase people in the chest that there are chances that you could get cardiac arrest.
1:39 am
well the woman's family says that she suffers from to mention as you quite rightly mentioned have old age as well that considering her condition should offices reasonably have considered have as a threat i don't believe so and we're seeing a lot of these cases not only in the united states but here locally in minneapolis we've had several incidences where. these manners of force are used upon. you know human beings in situations where it's not even it's not even justifiable or example the lady was cutting dandelions for sally so. the fact that no one went out there just trying to see what she was doing or maybe even guide her but the call went in as a woman with a knife and that saying that maybe there is
1:40 am
a possibility that she did you know possibly suffer from dementia or suffer from a mental illness that letter to you know broke down the lines on proc private property or public property for them and well at the moment there's growing concern in the usa the pace offices being quick to result full suspension lethal force as well what do you think lies there and reuse of this. i you know a lot of people would contribute to you know obviously the president or a lot of the rhetoric that's going on but here in america i believe that it's it's an underlying thing that we've been dealing with for hundreds of years you know for example i'm. scandinavian descent and also my dad has formed their slaves ancestors of slaves so i just me myself i have a such a dynamic within myself so i see what's playing out and it's hard for people to speak out and so i see i see
1:41 am
a lot of people starting to speak out you know due to technology in these type of things where people are seeing these incidences and not believing these things could actually happen and when they hear about eighty seven year old woman getting tasered by police people people say hold on what's going on are there other ways or other avenues to deescalate the situation well to slightly switch kansas well we see rising price of tests and anger between left and right in the u.s. could it be that rising social tensions and meeting today they said environment where people a missile into violence quickly now. yes i i am seeing a lot of protests going on and we are seeing the stark sides in these divide between groups and you know with the rhetoric with you know illegal immigration and people are highly upset about the bor the border not being closed up in others who are basically seeking asylum in our country and are running from violence they're
1:42 am
coming here in this demonize ation of these people have the police and other authorities trying to worried about what's actually going on and you know i think there may be trigger happy or. quicker responses to violence and and it's picking up all over so it may be it could be contributed to politics and stuff like this but i just think it's been laying dormant for so long and it's starting to rise and it's in its popping up all throughout the united states thanking jonathan mason activist and community leader in the u.s. city of minneapolis. the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei was formed a special group that will coordinate washington's policy on iran that says it continues to pressure the country with sanctions the head of the iran action group will be brian hook the state department's director of policy planning he says the u.s. is prepared to sanction any country trading with around in our sanctions regime yes

1:44 am
unilaterally and very illegally remain poor sanctions that have been lifted by the international community u.n. security council resolution. of you know two thousand and fifteen so the question is hard can do us justify paul ryan rationalization for do sanctions. the backing of the national community if the us proceeds threaten real lives in europe in particular but also asia. will distort national trade and they will not gain iran's calm pliant. now a military intelligence compound has been attacked in the afghan capital kabul two gunmen were killed by security forces officers were able to take control of the

1:51 am
cow on the report one important bright spot for wal-mart now especially in the future is their reported forty percent growth in online sales and we've noted here wal-mart's acquired the online retailer flipkart in the u.k. or in india rather as a vehicle to enter that market earlier this year more recently walmart contracted to feature clothing from get this high end retailer lord and taylor. and other earnings news some of wal-mart's retail rivals have also reported j.c. penney's out today the new numbers there were a bit of a mirror image to wal-mart falling short of expectations the familiar but faded retail reported two point seven six billion dollars in revenue a two. two hundred million dollar drop in the second quarter of twenty from twenty seventeen and losses per share came to thirty eight cents well above the expected six cents company's stock lost nearly a quarter of its value on the news and rival macy's reported

a one percent fall in revenue to five point five seven billion dollars that figure slightly beat expectations while earnings per share of seventy cents were well above expectations the fifty cents sales at stores open more than one year were up by half a percent b.b. expectations of a point nine percent decline. and turning to other company earnings right hailing service over reported a sixty three percent increase in net sales reaching two point three eight billion dollars for q two of twenty eighteen versus one point seven billion for q two of last year and good news for drivers and other employees i suppose their revenues were up by over two billion dollars to eight point two billion and meanwhile tech multinational cisco systems as reported a record setting figure for quarterly revenue it twelve point eight billion for q two the year over year increase of over a billion dollars the expected and stock rose six percent on the news cisco
1:53 am
security posted its growth of twelve percent rising to six hundred twenty seven million dollars cisco seems poised for even greater growth in that area after recently acquiring the michigan based tech security firm duo. industrial average did rise nearly four hundred points three hundred ninety six points at the closing bell with some strong earnings news we've been discussing and there is new hope that a deal related to u.s. china trade work could come sooner than anticipated here discuss that and more is the c.e.o. of quill intelligence danielle de martino both danielle we always have you on exciting days and you provide us with this important intel thanks for being with us i mean the good news is that this data seems to indicate u.s. factories excited that with the retailers are doing pretty well rev of the retailers so that's pretty much helping isn't it. oh it certainly is and i
1:54 am
think that a lot of what we're seeing today in this monster rally which is the biggest in four months has to do with with two levels of uncertainty being torn back and that is obviously china saying it was going to send a trade delegation to the united states at the end of this month and then of course qatar providing a fifteen billion dollar infusion into the turkish into the turkish economy which was desperately need it so we've actually seen the turkish lira up for three days running now but again bart it's that uncertainty that has been plaguing markets they haven't known what's going to happen in turkey with a potential trade war with china and those both of those worries went away today on top of all of the great earnings news that you've just gone through you know i mean when you when market participants look at these things i mean look you know i don't lot of traders so to you i'd be traders like to trade on any little bit of information they have so you know i've told people when i said earlier today on
1:55 am
another broadcast a look i hope this all works out i want to be positive but you know i can't even tell you exactly what the goal is to be articulated here but you know i know that you have looked and i'm so pleased with your new effort danielle quill intelligence and your daily feather which we love reading here a boom bust but you spent a lot of time looking at emerging markets like turkey and when you look at that and you say well least we've sort of settled with the qatar infusion of cash and into turkey you sort of settle the liras demise from these historic lows but what is that turkish central bank that the government could do or is the economy just too terribly troubled. well i think the turkish economy is in a very bad way because the central bank of turkey cannot do anything the president in turkey has made it abundantly clear that he is in control of the central bank
1:56 am
and i think that the take away what we should be learning from what's happened in turkey is that politics and central banks have good reason to be independent of one another so that the central bankers can come in in times of distress and do what needs to be done. i took a deep dive this week into other countries that are that are similarly at risk and a lot of it comes down to for example brazil and a new scandal broke out there today that's not going to help their economy again politics and economics clashing with one another kazakhstan has got a big presidential election coming up in twenty nineteen that instability and the fact that that the country has a lot of dollar denominated debt as does turkey of course these are the risk factors i think investors should be paying attention to going forward because i do think that turkey is probably just a sign of what is to come in the coming years yeah and we you know turkey
1:57 am
surpassed for the viewers that don't know surpassed the worst performing economy i guess what lower than the worst performing currency rather and and that was the venezuelan ball of our news out today is that they've made a payment to a mining company using a government bonds i guess you know rather than cash in this appears to be sort of the first instance that that's been done since last year when the u.s. place those economic sanctions on the nation which prohibited those sorts of transactions and i noticed danielle that u.s. court last week said that creditors could actually go after cit that's the most valuable asset in the country so venezuela turkey a lot of these are merging economies are slowing all of the world down because they've taken so far i guess a twenty percent drop it doesn't look like it's going to end anytime soon does it. you know it does not look like it's going to end anytime soon and a lot of it goes back to to my former employer the federal reserve and signs that
1:58 am
jay powell is going to continue tightening policy raising rates that's going to put further upward pressure on the u.s. dollar and every time the u.s. dollar strengthens it seems to try and take a country down with it which again is a reflection of this this debt binge that the world is bent on in recent years and amassing as the i.m.f. recently reported over eleven trillion dollars in dollar denominated debt they know that these these headlines are not going away as you indicate and desperate countries will end up doing desperate things i've never owned a million years heard of a government trying to make a payment with a bond but again the value of the ball the bar is basically worthless and there is no central bank that can get in the way of inflation that is upwards of four digit gains we've just got a little bit of time danielle but you know speaking of your former employer the u.s. federal reserve i want to ask you about an economic indicator that did come out yesterday
1:59 am
the day before and that's industrial capacity which shows that essentially we're staying about even i think it was the same as as last month but is industrial capacity sort of a key economic indicator that your former colleagues and others at the fed will be looking at when they consider these additional two interest rate hikes for the rest of the year. well there certainly going to be paying attention to the manufacturing sector and the capacity at which it's running it is still below its long term average which is fairly remarkable given that we're in the second longest economic expansion in u.s. history you would think that we would have at least come back to utilizing the same amount of our capacity that we have in prior cycles but that is not the case and yes i can tell you that policymakers at federal reserve do rightly pay attention to industry production to capacity utilization and they will be looking for any signs of weakness in that sector danielle de martino book gosh we love it when you come
2:00 am
and the news breaks and you're here to help us all out thank you so much danielle do you want to know both the c.e.o. of quill intelligence and write the daily feather thanks danielle thank you very much. and there's more earnings news and there's a little bit more of the met here with a look at samsung the south korean manufacturer telephone manufacturer and other technologies smart t.v.'s. is there a pretty chop a new york who has something on their new not novel no nine that's a new phone samsung is making some big moves and it's planning on investing billions of dollars into new growth areas south korea's largest conglomerate samsung group is planning to invest around twenty two billion dollars over the next three years into five g. and a technology led mostly by samsung electronics the investment would be a part of samsung's overall one hundred sixty one billion dollar investment plans that include capital expenditure research and development and of that.
