i think. that on a series of bomb threats continues for a second day in the us that is president trump and the american media over who's to blame. the media also has a responsibility to set a civil tongue to stop the religious hostility. the u.s. appeals court reinstates a lawsuit against major food producing c.p.s. and supporting child slavery and the syrian opposition delegation will meet the

russian foreign minister on friday the main focus of the talks will be the last remaining minutes and strong hold of it live we hear from the red cross i was completely overwhelmed by the scope of destruction what these not absolutely critical use to ensure that these people can regain access to some basic so obvious this. afternoon is five pm here in moscow you're watching international. now in tell you fool nine suspicious packages have been found by police across the u.s. all were addressed to a major political and media figures along with c.n.n. new york h.q. and the mayor of new york meanwhile describe the incidents which are pig connected is domestic terror. under fire with critics saying his use of rhetoric has fueled
10:02 am
hate though the president himself blames the media. own trump all he's known as probably the least presidential figure to be in office in a long time to hold the top job but reacting to what happened he tried to keep his cool in these times we have to unify we have to come together and send one very clear strong and mistake a ball message that acts or threats of political violence of any kind have no place in the united states of america. but that doesn't appear to have been the reaction well no unity one would argue is a red state found in the united states of america right now and. it's less than two weeks before the midterm vote so that isn't helping at all basically both camps the conservatives and the democrats they have been trying to spin the whole situation in their own favor now we don't know trump he's already talked
10:03 am
a lot about this he has tweeted blaming the media for spearheading the hades he said that they are hateful beyond description that was in tweed but that was not the only thing that he had to say as part of a larger national effort to bridge the divides and bring people together the media also has a responsibility just said a civil turn and to stop the hostility and. negative and oftentimes false attacks and stories have to do with. i'm not one who sees equal blame spread all around our president cannot escape special scrutiny he is at the head of the hate parade and way too often clearly reading prepared remarks at a rally he seemed not to give a damn so trump in the red corner mainstream media in the blue corner so to. speak
10:04 am
of the c.n.n. by no means were the only ones going up on trump everybody jumped on him in fact not just him his daughter ivanka trump came under fire she was attacked for supporting her father for this call for unity trump did also get his share of hate because many many journalists and pundits have blamed him for you know cultivating of this culture of hatred now adding gasoline to these flames are unverified reports and images of one of the explosive devices found allegedly showed a depiction of something that looked like an islamic state flag but instead of arabic letters there what it had that was a catchphrase of a very famous american comedian and here's the comedian it with his catchphrase this is.
10:05 am
again verified whether or not that catchphrase was on the but if it was it doesn't take a genius do two and two and get that character this comedians playing on stage is pretty much the most stereotypical image of a trump voter so right now it looks like the democrats have a it's a bit of a blessing for them in a twisted way that this thing happened especially when no one thankfully know nobody was killed or even injured so they are trying to spin it in such a way that donald trump is to blame while donald trump and his camp are trying to spin it in a completely different way and well one thing to know for certain is that as mid-terms draw closer this isn't going to change it's going to just get worse. speaking to me earlier media and legal analyst lionel believes there could be a deeper meaning to to this story. hillary clinton others talk about. rancorous you
10:06 am
know the tenor of just like it's all over the place. it's everywhere there is also on another wave if you will of rhetoric and that is various democratic leaders maxine waters in eric holder who are saying you know go out there and when you say your trump supporter in a restaurant and have at a gas station or or somewhere you get in their face when they go low we fight this rhetoric granted not in the level of pipe bombs and white powder but this is what we've been talking about all over the place. tensions are also on the rise in the u.s. over large migrant caravan which is approaching the country's border with mexico and with midterm elections looming it has become a highly politicized issue. i've been watching for weeks as the caravan came up not letting them in and not coming in and they're not coming and. everyone in this room
10:07 am
is an immigrant you know who in the white house and so a little bit of a different picture he was talking about this caravan the caravan the caravan. there has been assured of the illegal immigration recently caravan of immigrants was stopped by a group of flag waving protestors ministration official say they're working as efficiently and as effectively as possible the u.s. government doesn't give them any necessity when they dropped off the bus station. kuow to the challenge the trouble ministration had in dealing with the crisis they inherited from the obama administration who got a free pass from the media on causing this crisis what happened to the democratic party as juan said bill clinton president obama understood that border security helps define a country you talk to rather security and prevent people from actually believe that
10:08 am
this is a moral and humanitarian crisis we simply cannot allow people to poor into the united states undetected undocumented this is what we just got from president obama he writes immigration can be a controversial topic my administration acted to lift the shadow of deportation from these young people and we are a better country then one that shares families apart we turned it into a great political football and people are still all kinds of political parents. did president obama really deported more people than any other president in total president obama had deportee more than two point five million undocumented people by twenty fifteen. immigration be found a political issue when there is obviously even. ultimately what were some ships going out i'm. particularly.
10:09 am
you know it does. sort of vital election too surprising. and i think the question is what do you have managed you know kind of the right you know laughs have we're not just a lot of people going through the next time that. my facebook is being slapped with a large fine by the u.k.'s information commission over the cambridge analytical scandal the commission said the company had failed to protect user data it comes as apple's boss tim cook gave a damning speech at the european parliament to claim that personal information is being weaponized by tech giants. every day billions of dollars change hands in countless decisions are made on the basis of our likes and dislikes our friends and families our relationships in conversation our wishes in.
10:10 am
our hopes and dreams descriptive data each one harmless enough on its own or carefully assembled. traded and sold with more on the story his and this is it your. the i.o.c. here in the u.k. which is the independent data protection regulator have slapped facebook with a five hundred thousand pound fine for the role they played in the cambridge analytical scandal specifically failing to protect their users personal data when an app that was downloaded by just over three hundred thousand people ended up gathering information of eighty seven million people sharing some of that information with cambridge analytic that was later said to have been used for our targeted political advertising in the time during the u.s. presidential election and the i.c.l. said. that as many as one million of those people were in the u.k. and the i.c.a.o.
10:11 am
says that this information was allowed to be gathered without clear consent. between two thousand and seven and two thousand and fourteen facebook processed the personal information of users by allowing application developers access to the information without sufficiently clear and informed consent and allowing access even if uses have not downloaded the app but were simply friends with people who had well a facebook have said they're reviewing this latest find that was announced but should have done more at the time while we respectfully disagree with some of the findings we have said before that we should have done more to investigate claims about cambridge analytical and taken action in two thousand and fifteen this amount of five hundred thousand pounds we have to be clear that it is the biggest possible fine given the existing regulation that was used that had to be used on this case despite the fact that there is new regulation now in place since may twenty eighth he and that would have actually increased that number too much much larger amount
10:12 am
which would have been seventeen million or a four percent of facebook's global. turnover which is obviously a very different number however critics are saying that still these these numbers are miniscule given the fact that facebook's annual revenue just in twenty seventeen was forty point seven billion dollars we shouldn't sugarcoat the consequence of. this is surveillance. and these stockpiles of personal data serve only to enrich the companies that collect. this should make us very uncomfortable it should insert a loss. and situational reporting now a quarter of all chilled. and some of the poorest countries are trapped in child labor according to unicef with the cocoa industry becoming an area of growing
10:13 am
concern. you can do well for the slums while. watching. what a u.s. federal appeals court on tuesday reinstated a lawsuit against food producers nestlé and cargill a group of former child slaves from mali accuse the companies of supporting forced child labor by purchasing cocoa from ivory coast the former child sleeves so waited to long for justice in this case in some the allegations being a picture of overseas slave labor the defendants perpetuated from headquarters in the united states the plaintiffs said that the company's provided financial and technical support to ivory coast farmers in order to guarantee the cheapest cocoa nestlé denies any wrongdoing. regrettably bringing such lawsuits the plaintiffs class action lawyers targeting the very organizations trying to fight
10:14 am
forced labor force child labor is unacceptable and has no place in our supply chain we have explicit policies against it and are working with other stakeholders to combat this global social problem but in twenty seventh a nestlé did publish its first report on progress in eliminating child labor in its supply chain it detailed the main areas the company had been focusing on but human and labor rights lawyer down coverlet does believe that consumer pressure is the best way to bring about change. companies that can get away with forced labor child labor will. well use it because they want to maximize their profits simples that. i think companies if they're ending code will do for the space to be able to use force child labor and so that's what so they're using that's why these lawsuits are important because it forces companies hopefully to amend their action i think in the case of a nestle for example i think consumer pressure boycotts can work absolutely they
10:15 am
have in the past including against nestle itself which is. frankly a bad actor or in very different ways over the years if you're watching out international still ahead for you after the break a delegation of syrian opposition opposition forces is set to meet with the russian foreign minister here in moscow within the next twenty four hours we'll have a look at that plus other stories take. i've been saying numbers. that matter to us is over one trillion dollars and. more
10:16 am
than ten white collar crime chappie. eighty five percent of global wealth to the. point six percent market thirty percent. some with four hundred to five hundred three first for sure and one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars. but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember one you know for a minute the one. i . love again now a delegation of syrian opposition forces is set to meet the russian foreign
10:17 am
minister in moscow on friday the situation in syria is a delayed province or top the agenda that launch of a so-called constitution committee for syria is also on the books to this is seen as a key step towards finding a political solution to the crisis after seven years of war be any remaining militant stronghold in the country there are an estimated thirty thousand there including ten thousand terrorists that's according to the u.n. a deadline for militants to pull out of a buffer zone imposed under a deescalation deal brokered by turkey and russia was recently extended roughly three million civilians live in italy and many of them fleeing the region. to think about we were living in a camp life was difficult there was no aid no bread no water everything was scarce
10:18 am
the situation was terribly bad well look there is barely any shelter in winter and in summer you would suffer from the heat that was our life. still hot director of operations at the red cross has just returned from the former militant stronghold of east which was recently retaken by the syrian government. i have to say i was completely overwhelmed by the scope of destruction in the east and i think i have never seen anything like this in my twenty seven years of career in the place where i was the nearly ninety percent of the infrastructure is completely destroyed you see entire neighborhoods are at the steroid houses that have become completely unbelievable what is now absolutely critical is to ensure that these people can regain access to some basic so obvious as such as water
10:19 am
sanitation pails. particularly consarned about the possibility of escalation. of violence in that there are up to three million people living in this. would simply result in a humanitarian disasters. we have known for a very long time that this. continues to be the war conflict that we see very very long and yet there doesn't appear to be sufficient political convergence to bring this conflict to an end so i truly hope that we will now see the end of this conflict so that humanitarian aid can finally reach all the people of syria who are sold desperately longing for peace if anything needs are just
10:20 am
going to grow all in the coming months and years and really our army and continue our effort at the same level as in the past few years because now people are also getting more accessible and therefore we can do more and we absolutely need to make sure that we can maintain the humanitarian effort that the levels of the previous years. in other news tonight the border between bosnia and croatia has witnessed yet more violence between migrants and police as hundreds attempted to cross into the. migrants demanding to enter croatia could be seen getting aggressive with police who responded with gas and battens to disperse the crowds several people were left injured in the scuffle caray share has become one of europe's main entry points for
10:21 am
migrants hoping to reach wealthier countries such as france and germany but croatia is reluctant to accept a u. migrant quotas creating a stumbling block in talks to resolve the crisis. that today does see the start of nato's largest military exercises since the cold war tens of thousands of troops as well as warships and planes arrive for the drills in norway which shares a border with russia. this is an important day because trying sure i'm sure is nato's biggest exercise since the end all the cold war.
10:22 am
this is an audio is fictitious but the lessons we learn will be real. well the russian defense minister has expressed concerns about nato has increased military activity near russia's borders saying it's reached a level not seen for nearly three decades well the thing is the need to use military activity at the borders of russia has reached an unprecedented post cold war level the scope of operational military training at our borders is expanding and becoming more intense bloc countries are engaged in offensive drills the aim of all this is increased capacity to swiftly deploy troops across europe. great has been aggressive towards many countries as in wars with a number of countries right now. military in about one hundred seventy two countries has about twenty times the number of foreign military bases as all other
10:23 am
countries combined and they see these new war games close to russia as a furtherance of that aggression in this case towards russia the united states made a promise after the fall of the soviet union that it would not go into knots in nato into the warsaw pact countries or the former soviet countries and today it's in thirteen of those countries so it never abided by that pact this is clearly an aggressive move on the part of the united states and nato in my opinion . at least two people have reportedly being killed and one other person is missing is major flooding affects the south of russia the region has been swamped since wednesday hundreds of people have been evacuated from the area roads bridges and buildings are said to have been swept away around nine villages have also been left that power local transportation in the region has also been suspended

10:27 am
seventeen years of war in afghanistan the country is stuck in a vicious circle of violence elections assassinations and reconciliation talks with the world around afghanistan changing will the country be able to escape its bloody cycle. and. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longed to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trades per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need
10:28 am
remember in one one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only boom bust. i am asked to answer this is the kaiser report one one thousandth part cherokee. station we all are max we all are in fact i have a headline here up up up up up and way that is the u s deficit the u.s. government paid a whopping five hundred twenty three billion u.s. dollars in interest in fiscal twenty eight eighteen here's a chart going back to zero nine hundred eighty eight which is quite interesting you
10:29 am
see that the interest that we pay annually on our debt is rising rising rising despite interest rates going down that whole time we're still paying more and more every year which goes against what everybody always says oh all these debts are manageable because interest rates are so low yeah well you know america is like a guy who won the lottery and blows it after world war two we ruled the world we have the most gold we have the sound of the currency we have low interest rates and we were american century ready to go and like the profit lottery winner blows it all here we are in twenty eighteen having kind of blown it we have too much debt twenty one trillion in debt and the interest on the debt is down as you point out something like a half a trillion dollars annually which is getting close to the annual budget deficit
10:30 am
which may well actually the budget deficit annually is two hundred billion dollars more than that five hundred billion dollars is about what we pay for say medicare so it's the equivalent of taking care of the health of all the elderly people in america right now they're just interest not just interest on the debt so when the interest on it. that gets to a point where your money printing ponzi scheme that is a federal reserve bank fails you then enter a currency collapse you enter a hyper inflationary venezuelan type currency collapse and of course the american ego will tell you that that's impossible here in the land of the free home of the brave you know empires come and go ok let's look at one thing i want to point out that we went off the gold standard in one thousand nine hundred eighty one so in a way i don't blame anybody who runs america for just doing this because why not people are sending you their real goods and services for free essentially so why not rack up these huge debts plus we have to rack up huge debts although wise you
