it's going to move forward at least mexicans and canadians are and by the way it looks things are pretty positive right now but these nafta talks you never know until somebody signs that dotted line absolutely and in addition to the mexican negotiators there's been a chinese delegation here in washington and there currently however seems to be no end in sight to the tip for tat trade war what's the goal of the administration here just to draw this thing out or they really want to get something done you know but we've been talking about this forever it seems like in the whole fact of the matter is i i was wrong in the beginning i honestly thought the dump truck was going to play the short game and just basically you know come in and really hard line and that somehow he was going to push china into a position where or that he even talked to president g. and that they had some sort of resolution after the tough guy image was allowed to show itself to the world but it doesn't seem that way and actually things are going to be drawn out by the looks of things because nothing was accomplished at these

talks we're looking now and next month that we saw a tit for tat now at sixteen billion dollars worth of tariffs thrown in by the states and of course china doing what it does with that same amount back and now we're looking at another two hundred billion in tariffs possibly next month from the u.s. side of course will see the chinese throw back at that and don't show up to even saying he might push it to five hundred billion dollars now a lot of the analysts are saying that this might be a largely a long term game for trump that he's trying to push a new status quo which would be tariffs specially when dealing with china and some other analysts are saying and this is interesting that at this point if trump was to back down or if this was actually to be resolved he'd come out looking weak because the people would see that these tariffs have actually done more harm than good to the states and that if he was in this tariff war that actually would be a one win for the states at all so it's better for him to look like a tough guy and just keep this tariff game up there's an. quote about how one of

the most valuable philosophies is patience and time is that how china's planned this alex china doesn't really care where you know in the longer look we're playing chicken with a sleeping dragon here and the way it is for china it's going to be tit for tat so they look like the good guys shot of the americans come out they toss tariffs and china's like well we're not going to put more tariffs on your we're just going to do what you're doing and this is what we heard from their from their trade minister and there's a quote directly from him as i should say the finance minister luke own and he said china doesn't wish to engage in a trade war but we will risk resolutely respond to unreasonable measures taken by the united states if the united states persist with these measures we will correspondingly take action to protect our interests now we're hearing that u.s. businesses are being hurt consumers are being hurt because prices are going up on products that they use you talk to china they're saying hey you know we are we're not really feeling this too much right now and if anything happens to our

manufacturing sector we're just going to put money into it also china says this is the latest that basically we don't want to talk to the states anymore until the midterm elections are over so they're playing that game now hoping that some other people will get into government that they could actually deal with and that's one of the said done and also there put out a complaint to the world trade organization so they're playing actually the nice guy game and who looks like they're the bad guy will that we don't trump on this one and that's exactly what they want to make that states look like yeah they bent all lobbyist have been here in town going up and down the street everybody from the auto makers to sausage casing makers saying this is going to be a problem are to correspondent alex mahela bench thanks alex great weekend you tube . and time now for a quick break but hang here because when we come back attorney andre barlow joins us to consider the technology sector in light of a recent european union antitrust decision plus monsanto and bears say grief continues. as more products are impacted and

a cavalcade of court cases are filed r t correspondent sara monta is the focus joins us as we go to break here the digital details of the closing bell all green arrows on the big board with both the s. and p. five hundred and nasdaq hitting intraday high to earlier today and nasdaq still climbing to a new high as we went to air we'll be right back. typical . up and up of it. in the front. yard she will leave you this is who you are talking to this. girl about the never mind that finally let out a girl after i got out my last kid it will be

a shame if each party still. but not a lot of any of us come out i scared but i'm with up with him as are two and i was up the money into the negative about having to. tell you the longing i left my home was almost. to say to me. there we go places is a long. hallway for you may play. for the people who go from zero zero zero zero because i. was really not that way at least i. feel. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer it be one of the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing

the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying the is just no way to parent and that we're even many victims' families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the get tell here is because that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. welcome back updating the labor situation of irish airline iranian air the rolling strikes an underlying dispute between pilots and management that we told you about

earlier this month appears to be resolved negotiators worked for twenty two hours to produce a draft agreement that will now go to a vote by members of the union representing four thousand ryan air pilots if the workers vote to approve ryanair will then take the issue to their board for some members have walked out more than over one one time over grievances that they're leaving transfers were unfair and their desire to bring their pay closer to rates of other airlines leading to hundreds of canceled flights even worse the u.k. guardian reports ryanair had to apologize last week after checks to compensate passengers who were impacted by those strikes one out with out needed signatures think the irish would say they were doing a number on their customers while. ten corporate crime news investigators at the u.s. department of justice and the securities exchange commission are scrutinizing the methods microsoft used to get a foothold in hungary the wall street journal reports investigators believe

microsoft sold their familiar software products to intermediaries at a discount and then the middlemen then sold the software to public agencies and governments at a higher price gouging those and users justice an s.t.c. investigators want to determine if the profit those middlemen theoretically received was diverted into bribes and whether official charges can be brought under the foreign corrupt practices act microsoft's legal team says they began to investigate their selves once they learned of potential problems and are cooperating with justice and the f.c.c. officials the journal points out that microsoft came under similar investigative scrutiny back in twenty thirteen oversight. practices in china romania italy pakistan and russia it's unclear if those investigations have been closed. while many search engines exist google is certainly the eight hundred pound gorilla in the industry space earlier this year the european union fined google over five billion dollars related to charges the company was inappropriately dissing

competitors by excluding them or placing them far down in search results the circumstances reminded us of the first major tech giant and i trust cases that we thought the subject deserved a little deeper dive in here to jump into the and i trust paul with us is andre barlow of the firm doyle barlow and mazhar andre welcome we're glad to have you back with us you know most people had their computers back then they were microsoft computers and even if they weren't microsoft computers then the other computers had the microsoft word on it they had all the programs on it and then in one nine hundred ninety eight there was a really this big first court case take it from there all right the it's a fascinating case d.o.j. was alleging there that microsoft had a monopoly in the operating system basically windows and they probably had about ninety percent market share something to that effect and microsoft at the time was

concerned back in the mid ninety's netscape had come out with an internet browser and that was the most popular browser around the netscape doesn't exist today and that's what this case was about. you know so they had a very high market share and microsoft was concerned that netscape was going to basically take over that it was going to be a threat to its operating system so instead of just competing fairly and coming out with a new internet browser to compete fairly what they did is they came out with internet explorer and they integrated it with the operating system. and at the same time they entered into exclusive contracts with the p.c. manufacturers that would would make sure that the default was always going to be the internet explorer this basically ran netscape out of business and that was what the case was about the judge ruled in favor of the d.o.j.

decided in their favor saying that. this predatory tactic that was used was was done to maintain the monopoly in the operating system ok so with that as the basis it was it was that sort of that sort of set the stage for future antitrust litigation in this in the in the case law and how is that standard being used if so now well you know it's interesting because i think it set the stage for companies like google and apple to be successful it allowed them to actually enter and compete so so and i trust and foresman lead to innovation and now you know when we're thinking about and i trust in forest rethinking about what actions may be taken against these major companies that have major platforms but yes i think you know the standard was set there basically what we're talking about is a monopolist of a platform has to be very careful in terms of what they do to exclude their rivals

ok so do we think that when you look at that standard that you eloquently described and is in place here do we see similarities between the u.s. and i trust circumstances and the e.u. circumstances that they just recently used you know there's a difference there's a huge difference with the e.u. and the cases that they've been bringing against google under their law there's a special responsibility for a monopolist to not hinder competition in the united states we focus more on an evidence based approach if you go back to that microsoft case there was a head. a lot of evidence a lot of e-mails you know deposition from bill gates and you know so there is there was a lot there on what their motivation was and what their intentions were very interesting thank you for going deeper with us that we appreciate it andre barlow the law firm of doyle barlow mazhar appreciate every great weekend you.

and in the continuing story we've been covering the lawsuits against the month santo company are increasing exponentially as recall the chemical giant now owned by giant drug the german drug maker bear there are giant two was ordered to pay two hundred eighty nine million dollars to a california man dying of cancer after years of use of months we've killed which contain the chemical glucose eight months into his weed killers including the well known round up are now this subject of intense and increased focus as lawsuits have risen from fifty two hundred to roughly eight thousand cases and here discuss the legal quandary and more is hard to correspondents. been covering the story for us what's been going on since we spoke i think on monday sara so

a lot of spin going on since they are not so quiet anymore they have come out have you noticed the plane tests have now risen from fifty two hundred to eight thousand now so several lawsuits cases waiting to be tried there also is committed to the full integration of human santillan bayer as you know there is that ten to great by the end of this month they are still fully committed and the c.e.o. werner bowman released a statement saying nothing has changed concerning our strategy attractive synergy potential and longer term growth in margin expectations for our combined crop science business we are very optimistic for the future so still saying that they're going to buy every verdict that they've come across and will come across will be fighting for a lot of the other day and they're a couple of questions that i just wanted to get to and one is that when these things cereals accept or are processed does that somehow mill your rate or lessen the glaive content of these things so it wouldn't be weird if you're. to be

healthy and then all of a sudden you're getting more glyphosate right and that's that's kind of the problem so far in twenty seventeen but in jerry's for example tested some tubs in in europe ice cream tubs in europe found that thirteen of the fourteen tubs contain traces of life estate now they found they didn't find any in the us because they didn't test so still they are committed to providing a life is a free ingredient and they've come out with the statement as well on their page saying that they want to go organic and be. free but people like just yesterday nature valley has just released a statement saying that they're removing one hundred percent natural from their label because they really want to commit to avoiding these litigation costs and fighting this and really trying to go one hundred percent organic so they're moving the label and this could set a precedent for future brands and things that they're going forth general mills was

found themselves with their first lawsuit by a florida woman just last week because she's been eating cheerios regularly so she too is suing for saying that cereal knew they contain glyphosate but never it was never labeled in the ingredients so the labeling here to this is very interesting we've just got about thirty seconds left sure about what's next on this front well the f.d.a. should be releasing their results soon but they have found life to say in honey unfortunately so the farmers aren't actually spraying life to say onto the bee hives this is collected via the the bees who believes that the crops big states and honey and that's not controlled but that is not controlled so how that can be regulated they're not even sure when believably thank you so much. appreciate your time thank you very weakened. and that's all we have time we have for this time thanks for being on board you can catch boom bust on directv

welcome just on nine pm here in moscow you're watching international now with the general election on the horizon in sweden the fact that the power has moved to the street early on saturday a party called the nordic resistance movement held a rally and was met with an opposing crowd objecting to quote the nazis marching in central stock when the leader of the movement has been open in his praise for hitler. reports. i. know we are in french or stockholm right now in sweden at the gathering of nordic resistance movement in the. nordic organization but here in sweden it's also a political party and they are running for the upcoming elections here in the country. sad that this gathering is a chance for them to make their message

a message. that we want to take back to counter from the traitors in the parliament . of. europe. for two percent it's already too late for just stopped immigration we must take them back the politicians within the government today they are traitors towards our people because. among many other fish they open our borders shot for. for a year millions of foreign jerseys and you know. holding the long wrong will lead to own doubts of course we will become a minority in our own don't forget that even longer run that we will cease to exist as a supreme just meters away from where nordic resistance movement is gathered there are. there is another gather ranko. you can see there are just great new citizens who came here to challenge to. protest. this shouting right now they're

not just on our streets oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh. why did you gather here today. because we're against this we're against the masses men racists and so. we think this is really really all for this is happening stuff come out they. about in a closed society but they take a chance in the open society. quite incredible i just had a chance to speak to the leader of the nordic reasons movement and he told us that he'd learned a great thing for german people. there was definitely a great a very very good person for the german people definitely. here the free germany it's disgusting and he i i would say that i'm almost lacking words cannot be legal to say that that a close a good guy i mean that must be cause for the police to intervene or to do that they

took ninety five percent of my family gas and blood and so we go in palm until elections in two weeks a hard time for any country and as they say here everybody wants to be on the streets these days to make their voice heard. preproduction and r.t. from stockholm in sweden and as mentioned in her opinion another rally was held today a march by workers unions and to find out more you had to marry an ocean is twitter free for updates to you from sweden ahead of the election. but it's not only protests that have shaken sweden of late because a string of recent arson attacks did rocked the country with authorities describing them as organized and prepared police said up to one hundred cars were damaged or destroyed early this month most of them in sweden second biggest city of gotham book.

well police have so far arrested three suspects of any motive behind the attack is unknown some media reports and politicians have shifted the blame to the right wing social democrat party claiming that such an incident would benefit the parties and immigration stance. while brazil's presidential election is about a month away but the current poll favorite does face a major hurdle that's because lula's the silver the former president is currently in jail with more his medina court. brazil's presidential election is looming and the latest polls the show one clear favorite and he is

a familiar face lula da silva as companion has all the regular features rallies full of adoring supporters was. merchandise branding his name and the must have can paint ads set to traumatic music. so what he's going to refuse. to. take to fix it. but here's the twist mr silva is currently serving a twelve year sentence for corruption still that hasn't stopped his renewed political aspirations and his party registered him for the race days before his imprisonment to lead told r.t. about his intentions will but do you do your friends at my party wants me to run for president so they support my candidacy and i'm ready to do it and when you lection. before handing himself over to police in april thousands of the former

president supporters formed a human shield around the building he was and claiming the charges were politically motivated he was convicted of trading favorites with a construction company in exchange for the promise of a beachfront apartment a former metal worker himself lula became a hero of the working class as the economy soared during his eight years at the house finishing back in twenty eleven. although for sound has become associated with the barrage of political scandals that have hit brazil corruption was rampant all people in the workers' party were corrupt they used again very flimsy trumped up charges of being corrupt but it was the entire political system so yes the population obviously. ever meant in power when there is rampant corruption but the corruption was all the political parties and looking at

his present selves busy visiting schedule taking his plans seriously just this week he was reported to be visited by the had of brazil's most powerful trade union and his fies presidential running mate brazil's thirty fifth president currently occupies a fourteen square meter room and is reportedly allowed to wear his own cloth thing is said to have his own t.v. and a trad mill where he jocks for miles daily still that's a long shot even followup convicted felons are banned from running for office and electoral court is expected to declare him in alledge of zero in coming weeks is not going to be able to run what he's trying to do is to increase as much as possible support for the workers' party and then so he wants to keep that alive his candidacy has lived for as long as possible and then at the last minute or when his no longer possible transfer all of that support that he is building up currently so his vice presidential running mate running mate which is his favored candidate to

replace him if he can't run and again that fernando who was the mayor of san pablo and is not popular at all while things look unpredictable now one thing a certain election season and brazil hasn't senate twist just yet and in a question now r.t. well the next president's lawyer told us that they were to silva is it ching to get back on the campaign trail it is hard of course he's in prison. during the weekends for instance using nice elation because there's no contact even with any of his lawyers he's not allowed to have contact with his family there and he's only allowed to. visitations bru week. friends it is hard but he's writing a lot he's sending directions in right. of course it is hard because he's not he's doesn't have access to interviews he's not able to answer any of the exemptions

that other candidates may make against him is not able to defend himself to tour the country which is why he really desires to be with the people and to explain he's a new ideas for the future of the country. that from russia collusion stories are again gathering momentum but now even a u.s. t.v. channel is under fire amid speculation it is linked to the kremlin to the hawkins reports we've all heard about trump russia election collusion you know the great scam that brought the u.s. president to power who zation of collusion collude passably smells a whole lot like collusion there was ample evidence of collusion where is the coalition you know they're still looking for closure where is the grow larger slides of kind of the issue little did we know of the conspiracy goes.
