at the time these grotesque experiments using american g.i.'s and civilians essentially as lab rats at the time they were taking place the public knew nothing about it was all classified now the public documents indicate that these new experiments will not involve human beings only human simulators however anyone who is familiar with the not so well publicized very well documented. history of u.s.

military research they'll certainly raise an eyebrow. art see new york. now russia is that it again apparently that's the claim by the u.s. magazine the atlantic it says here the kremlin has set its sights firmly on meddling in the upcoming midterm elections to weaken america with the article goes on to explain moscow's alleged three step plan to break american democracy firstly unleash russian hackers number two by corrupt us politicians and then thirdly support you see think favorably of putin but it's not just the russian state that's come under suspicion the atlantic also claims this very channel helps undermine democracy by inviting guests who dare to question mainstream narratives the magazine names brandon stark an example he's the founder of the movement encouraging democrats to walk away from their party although the atlantic does fail to mention he talks to the media to. well i myself was

a lifelong liberal democratic voter i would say kind of democrat by default because i'm a gay man and i think that the expectation for a lot of minority groups is that we are supposed to vote democrat and that we are supposed to be liberals friend strake is spent years as a liberal he now says he's concerned by what the west has become well before the election i was already starting to feel uncomfortable with where we were headed in terms of identity politics and p.c. culture. political commentator lionel explained why he thinks. the russian article as antics is happening. nobody ever calls these people to task they are paid for by volume or how many likes to do you get how many clicks hey that was a great article factually incorrect. factually a baseless and also the mentality just feeding frenzy of this this monster

dysmorphia this monster that you must feed constantly with us no russia no nato no bad guy no body man so there's many reasons why the book even to straw man this factor the evil image of russia must be maintained. palestinians were killed and up to two hundred seventy injured on the gaza strip on friday thus according to the palestinian health ministry protesters attempts to break through the border fence with israel the demonstration is part of the great march return which started back in march over one hundred seventy pay for being killed by israeli soldiers since then television says the protests are a cover for terrorists gaza based reporter think a diary was at the latest demonstration. i listed news continue to protest for the twenty first friday then israelis continued to fire tear gas canisters and live ammunition on the palestinian protesters. that the situation now is escalating as

the palestinian protesters are trying to burn you to burn some tires to blur the vision of those already snipers there israeli forces continue to fly more to gas canisters on the palestinian protesters to disperse them and to keep them away from the friends at least two palestinians injured in a very very critical condition as you see palestinians are are bracing the palestinian flag. throwing stones on by israeli snipers and this is how the palestinians have been concentrating their guys ready snipers and the israeli forces oh my god like many in this unit you guys come to search are now being fired that gun on the palestinian protesters and as you see it's in time to be fired on the part of student protesters where your gas canisters are being fired from on directions as you see the places first with the with lysol everyone is suffocating

from a tear gas fired this is also one of the injuries are from the tear gas fired just right now because there are. no signs for the first time i see this there is no fence where the palestinian protesters have that but if you do break the fence protesters are marching. as that palestinian town that believes it to break up signs that israeli forces are right in the shooting live ammunition on the part of protesters have no one is going back to. local reporter him could houri that well meanwhile the israeli defense forces say the response of troops to palestinians trying to break through that fence was in line with standard operating procedure. international still ahead for you this hour the occupy london movement has seen its facebook page taken down again we'll tell you why just after birth.

i've been saying the numbers mean something like matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long for the rich eight point six percent market share thirty percent your mom with four hundred to five hundred three for sure for sure and one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a our industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remember it was one show you can't afford to miss the one and only.

crazy conspiracy theory that they're all were there from under the bus forget about the back of the bus just run them over because we want rush limbaugh wonder bread and make me tell you that america. welcome back now occupy london the pace to be the latest victim of facebook's recent spree of shutting down accounts the social me social justice movement had its page taken down for several hours the movement says this is not the first time either facebook has tried to censor its content occupy london was founded in twenty eleven and it is part of a global movement organizing hundreds of protests against financial elites the movement says its founding values are equality and diversity occupy london has a significant social media presence with a round hundred fifty thousand followers on facebook where some do believe certain

pro palestinian apart at palestine post by occupy london might be to blame for facebook's action we asked facebook to comment the social media giant has since apologized to occupy london saying it was all a mistake but one of the movement's activist george barda isn't so convinced. just you know sort of a blip a mistake out of the blue it probably wouldn't mean very much at all but the problem is this is part of a massive rear guard action i think by the establishment you know anyone can go online and see the evidence this themselves chris hedges is a pulitzer prize winning journalist it's been one of those exposing most the details of this but effectively what's happened in the name of dealing with fake news and many progressive websites that have been a major part of you know bernie sanders jeremy corbyn etc. they found the traffic going down. websites like alter net truthdig that you know mainstream progressive web sites is in

a traffic go down by seventy percent literally and these algorithms devised in private nobody can inspect and have a huge impact on more information the world gets to see about what's going on and that's a hugely significant issue going forward the relevant thing today in terms of the discussion is still a very powerful force online and has millions of people engaging with its posts and so it's very important that they and others like them are not in the name of fake news effectively removed from most people's internet searches and i think this is a huge issue going forward bearing in mind that google and facebook are very very close to the american establishment you know the washington post is owned by jeff bezos he was is an answer but not surprisingly he's very keen on using the washington post to make sure that the internet allows his articles to come up at the top of searches and no arms. summary of the gun activists he's been charged with acting is not just a russian agent in the u.s. has been transferred to another prison with lawyers knowledge russian diplomats had

compared to today's treatment in custody and also the media hysteria around the case to the witch trials of the seventeenth century meanwhile the twenty nine year old has launched a crowdfunding campaign to pay for her legal defense on thursday russian diplomats visited buton in prison and said she's been. subjected to cruel treatment they claim she faces inhumane inspections throughout each night and is strip searched after any visitor marie's also been deprived of proper medical attention it's claimed she was suffering from swelling on her leg but was only given painkillers she's being denied any letters written in russian to over fears they could contain coded messages the russian embassy stress she's still a suspect not a convict due to his lawyer robert driscoll updated us on her condition. i was unaware that she was transferred until last night at around midnight i received a collect call from her at home and the phone was disconnected before we could get

through but i knew it was from alexandria jail so i drove down and tried to get in last night and could not but is able to get in this morning and visit her so she is in alexandria detention facility at least for now for this weekend it's a smaller facility than the d.c. jail as respected facility but it's hard to know why the move was made whether was made for medical or other reasons or in response to complaints about the conditions in d.c. she does have arthritis in one of her legs kind of a history of problems with that leg so she sought treatment for that and so far has just received tylenol and nothing else and i think she has also been a little bit frustrated by policy when people are in protective custody they do bad checks every fifteen minutes at night check on detainee safety and i think sometimes depending on who the guard is you know the lights are turned on every time there's a check and so it's very hard to get proper sleep when you're being woken up every fifteen minutes she's segregated from the general population of the prison facility

you know no contact really with outside people besides her lawyers and occasional phone calls and when you're being held. in semi isolation like that it's difficult because every every things you want to do is kind of a one off request there isn't a very set schedule and so it was very difficult to make sure she was getting a proper exercise and trips to the library and things like that because everything she did she had to do by yourself doesn't anyone would have an easy time in prison but in this is an accomplished student you know someone who i don't think ever envision spending a day in jail or a life to be in you know it's a pretty tough facility. well the alleged russian agent was arrested over a month ago she was refused bail after pleading not guilty two weeks ago she's also accused of offering sex in an attempt to get a job in an unnamed special interest group it convicted could face up to fifteen years in prison no date for her trial has yet been set. for

a fee she has been appearing in the spanish city of barcelona encouraging holiday makers to jump off their hotel balconies some of it suggests that the potentially deadly practice known as balcony is fun one of the graffiti messages mockingly claims it improves the quality of life for locals where balcony can refer either to jumping into a pool from a balcony or climbing from one balcony to another the risky activities growing in popularity with the tourist some hotels have banned it and introduced fines. equal. to a . balcony in griffy tea that sprung up in barcelona sparked online anger though

with people pointing out that this year alone six people have died performing the stunned most of them were from britain or ireland ek foreign office has warned against engaging in the practice too in the majority of incidents victims have been drunk and lost their balance we got reaction from tourists in barcelona. thanks for the a c. will we be able to post so i am out of my secret then there is no sir like many messages saying violence like you against terrorists i guess the same of them stuff like they want to have to city for over and they know whats important to maintain jobs to buy some money out of your words i think you should get some kind of tax why can i have this many tourists from your dad just how comfortable for them have you had to decide for mrs rowles i think last night such a scene that's just so open to so much and it should be accepted. for it for all the students i guess thanks to is this its the main source of income. but not

a few days ago from columbia missouri now let's get to a few stories topping today's financial and business headlines financial regulators who came to power after being nominated by president trump and confirmed by the united states senate are reportedly getting big bank blowback on their proposal to relax the so-called volcker rule which was approved in the wake of the financial crisis back in two thousand and thirteen i actually helped write and vote for the final bowker wrote that money futures trading commission one of the five financial regulatory agencies which crafted the measure the bowker rule banned speculative trading by big banks although it allowed such trading on behalf of bank customers big banks speculative trading was one of the culprits to the economic calamity according to the financial crisis inquiry commission established by congress to examine the causes of the crash but the big banks are saying the proposed efforts to relax the rules could end up making it even more complicated the wall street journal reports representatives of j.p.

morgan chase bank of america citi group wells fargo and six other banks all met with federal reserve officials to complain about the proposal which is currently out for public comment the specific concern relates to an accounting definition of what speculative trading and compass is by effort to relax the rule of financial regulators have proposed using a standard accounting term called available for sale securities that financial term of art according to the bad. overly broad and would make determining which trades are speculative on behalf of the customers were difficult to determine the public comment period on the proposal ends on september twenty. third of measures announced by the u.s. department of treasury are again targeting chinese and russian companies which the department says have assisted illegal shipments on behalf of north korea treasury's actions are aimed at one individual and three specific companies including chinese logistics syndicate daylon sun moon star and its singapore based affiliate in

addition to the company profit a russian based firm the move comes as the u.s. remains concerned that efforts to denuclearize north korea the democratic people's republic of korea or d p r k needs to continue international pressure of economic sanctions to be effective that apartment contends the chinese and singapore based business use falsified shipping documents to transport alcohol tobacco and cigarette related items into north korea in violation of u.s. and united nations economic sanctions korea has reportedly profited generally from the it's a list illicit cigarette trade to the tune of get this one billion dollars per year and profit is accused of providing port services that shipping services plus providing fuel to those ships the it to north korea on no less than six occasions and continues to do so even after the company's employees were informed of the oil related sanctions on d p r k last year the us ambassador to united states nikki or

to the united nations rather nikki haley said quote oil is the lifeblood of north korea's effort to build and fund a nuclear weapon profit its director general a russian national was also accused by treasury of personally aiding in the endeavor and interacting directly with north korean representatives in russia u.s. treasury secretary steven minutiae said. in a statement quote treasury will continue to implement existing sanctions on north korea and will take action to block and designate companies ports and vessels that facilitate illicit shipments and provide revenue streams to the d.p. r. k. . highest paying jobs in the united states or in technology according to glassdoor that is of the twenty five highest paying jobs fourteen are in the technology sector that's up from last year with the leaven of the top twenty five earning jobs the positions include software development and engineer managers and enterprise

architects even the lowest paying of those positions average one hundred thousand dollars of annual income each year incidentally see street level positions were excluded from the report's calculation. and speaking of the tech sector ten cents the giant norma's chinese investment company which is also asia's biggest technology company with a market capitalisation that had been closing in on six hundred billion dollars last year has taken the first quarterly earnings stumble in thirteen years what that all about here discusses a c.e.o. of the stocks which most are mo to weigh in on ten cent and other starts melissa welcome back thank you so much a ten cent became the first tech company to breach that five hundred million dollar capitalization level last november yet this year the company has lost twenty five percent of their share value and more than three percent on the single day earlier

this week on tuesday i had been some concern related to their growth in ten cents mobile gaming what's that all about what's going on melissa. well the problem is that china has the regulators now are not approving any more of these gaming licenses so that's cut into what ten cent does but overall just looking technically at the chart the chart is now in a down trend it's not a body at all it really has been trying to hang on for quite a while it could have turned around and these earnings but now with this coming out about the game mean that really has definitely hurt the company and they are at it down try to i will say this in china gaming is huge it is huge it is the number one country in the world where there's about a thirty eight billion dollars in revenue for gaming and there which is incredible when you think about there are so many people that are doing that online on apps and for whatever reason they put a halt to this for some of the approvals and we just have to wait and see what

happens when the stock might turn around but as of right now it is definitely not a buy. and i mean that's an incredible level i think i said it right in correctly you know five hundred billion with the be and i think they're up at five hundred eighty billion not too long long ago but you know it is a chinese company and how is the chinese government dealing with it i mean it's strategically important for the nation right. well well yeah i mean obviously they do a lot of things but i mean this game is big as i was saying because it's huge in china itself so they've got it here too whatever the regulator say so i'm sure they're trying to work it out again i they're not really disclosing why they put a halt on this but that's what the chinese government has decided and they do like to control a lot of these things more so than even the regulators that you see in the u.s. you know and you know we talked about tech stocks last time and i know you're sort of on them but when you talked to actually got to talk facebook which has had

troubles of we've talked about over the last several months and have really some sloppy trading such as this week it hasn't been a good few months in general for in the media at least for facebook how are they doing overall melissa. facebook if you look at the bulk of tax cuts at tech stocks right now facebook i would say is at the bottom and i and that wasn't the case before they had just recently made brand new all time highs but now the stock isn't looking that great it's under two hundred it's around one seventy seven or something it was trading at this week and the previous high was to thirteen but overall facebook i wouldn't go along here but it doesn't mean it's disaster for the stock i would say though that it's a wait and seen as far as buying back into the stock after the earnings and after i q said all the media problems that they've had this year i don't think it's over with them about the scrutiny they're still on board for having to deal with some of these issues that have happened i don't look at them the same as a company like adam is on their netflix even though these are all tech stocks in the bucket i would put facebook at the lower end of the list right now very very

interesting we've only got about sixty seconds melissa but i do want to talk about some other stocks particularly the retailers wal-mart just reported this week and boy they were doing gangbusters but there was others those stocks out there to target and macy's and what with wal-mart real quickly and is there any sort of commonality among retail. well i will just let me just quickly address wal-mart for a short time here wal-mart was the stock of the week wal-mart kept up huge huge stepped up time points on the air against wal-mart i absolutely love i will tell you we've talked about amazon before wal-mart is going to compete against amazon it had the best revenues it's had for ten years more than forty percent of american shop on a weekly basis at wal-mart and that's huge they're going after it they're going to try to compete with amazon they're the only ones that can i love that stock right now for a buy it's really almost at previous highs which was one time and expect wal-mart to continue you could buy wal-mart stock i love that stock going into the end

twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen wal-mart is doing it and i tell you they're the only ones that could compete with amazon the always interesting and never informative melissa are mostly over the stocks which thanks very timeless thanks. to mexican president elect congress member low price obrador has said his administration will invest billions of dollars to boost refining capacity in order to curb growing fuel imports and what about those foreign investment in exploration contracts have been so controversial in the country r.t. correspondent nicholas o'donovan gives us the details on the incoming president's proposed energy plans. mexican president elect and that is manuel lopez obrador announced in late july a plan to invest billions of dollars in pemex the country's state owned energy company this plan aims to reverse years of decline in production appendix the country's existing refineries have been operating at less than seventy percent
