south korea taiwan and turkey or granted waivers regarding the u.s. sanctions against iran energy sector now the white house has announced that president trouble will not reissue those waivers effectively making those nations subject to sanctions under u.s. laws as of may second white house press secretary sara sanders said this decision is intended to re iran's oil exports to zero u.s. secretary of state mike pump ale claim that iran's regional rivals saudi arabia and the u.a.e. are working with the u.s. to boost oil output which would offset the loss for more we're joined by hillary for which the ela strong mark the guide to having a hilarious iraq so right now by not me issuing these authorities when they expire president trump is effectively trying to bring iran's oil exports down to zero and denying this regime this principal source of revenue is that he's trying to bring them back to the negotiating table tell us exactly what is the u.s. trying to achieve by doing this or by trying to do this i would give the analogy

chrissy's kind of like having the new principal in town you had a nefarious norty student who has been bullying and terrorizing all the other students actually for decades if you look at it no american administration and no one has really put their foot down with iran and what this is doing and by the way they're forget these f.-l. rees they have to be renewed basically every six months so all this is doing is putting a foot down what does it mean it means that this student this norty student in the cloth should now have to comply and become part of the global community and that's what this is about is trying to get the iranians to comply. so events right now are moving in a very confrontational direction and iran may shut down the strait of hormuz as a retaliation and that would be the world's most busiest transit lane for seaborne shipments for oil right now it's responsible for handley thirty percent of the world's oil exports daily and shutting this down could be disastrous could something like this happen if the vents were to escalate well certainly this maybe

could happen but just remember this you know the iranian regime they may be nefarious but they may be certainly not be stupid and they're not and they're not as a nation they're certainly not suicidal so what would this mean yes you mentioned thirty is maybe thirty thirty five percent of the world's crude oil goes through the strait of hormuz that's something like seventeen million barrels a day a huge amount of oil now all different nations would be affected and they know that they are now desperate for their few allies they have in the world they're not going to impact all these other nations so really this is brinksmanship and this is blustering on their part what are they supposed to say of course they're going to say this but again they don't want this to escalate they also know should this lead to a military confrontation confrontation they know the u.s. is has overwhelming power and they know this would just be ludicrous and suicidal as a nation than the regime that does not want to undertake a battle with the united states if not

a battle what with the alternative the what what moves do they have now will they need to comply and the demand from people have said that these are the bombs a ludicrous but go to the global community what does the global community want the global community does not want terrorism the global community does not want this again sort of like norty student and i think what it is we've got a new principle in town and the laws have been the rules are being strengthened and i think that the expectations of the u.s. administration are not in any way absurd i think actually quite reasonable and i think the most nations of the world know that those not east it is essentially just trying to toe the line to see how much they can get away with right now you may be . bullying and terrorize in the war for years and no one has actually had either the guts of the confidence or the bravado to stand up to them and this is what's happening now and i think don't forget the financial pressure on these sanctions are going to really crush the regime the regime and they won't want to have their nation penalized any further unfortunately there are other countries that are affected by this countries such as china and india grab some of iran's biggest

clients of these oil exports so how are they reacting we don't forget their allies so in this situation iran is even more desperate to have their allies comply so what do they need they want their allies to get on board what i would suggest is if we took a back to kind of a student analogy what we need those allies to do we need those allies the pressure iran and say look we are your ally comply and actually which nation wants and if you look at the very sad events over this recent weekend the terrorism of religious sites look at the impact that's had the global community does tend to rally when it comes to a global bully and what iran really wants what they want to become is they want to become part of the global community what do you need to do to become part of the global community comply with the groups like hezbollah except truck. and now finally we have like a really interesting report out from halliburton saying that they expect international offshore drilling this year to rise double the estimates of slumber jay. fourteen percent actually so right now i think u.s.

is trying to reduce its dependency on foreign exports but we're currently importing about a little less than ten million barrels of oil a day so is there actually a dent being made by the after of drilling will there always be a dent yes absolutely i would say think about it again it's not just the offshore drilling there's offshore drilling but also is an immense amount of fracking going off on throughout the dakotas in the u.s. and what has not yet opened up but when that does they'll be even more oil what we've done is we've made sure that there is that extra production and we don't forget we have extensive reserves and my last comment is look kristie no incumbent wants a price of oil to increase the average person. and including me you everybody all of us we all know what the price of gas is at the pump why do we know because it's something that touches our daily lives so this is ministration is not going to want the price of oil to for let alone increase i predict there will be short term pain i think americans will feel this in the short term in the long run to answer questions specifically offshore drilling will offset it in addition to all the

fracking and all the other production in the united states hopefully we stated that oil is at an all time high so we definitely are corrupt and hillary for which the c.e.o. of strong mark thank you so much for your insight because you're pretty. a presidential phone call to libya is moving all markets last week u.s. president donald trump effectively reversed u.s. policy with a friendly phone call to libya or large khalifa haftar are who is the head of self designated libyan national army and is currently threatening to take control of tripoli by force the phone call reportedly happened last monday but was not publicized until a white house statement on friday the white house statement praised mr hough tar and alluded to a shared vision for libya's future sharing a vision for libya with khalifa who reportedly was sponsored by the past by the cia would be a break from u.s. policy of working with the united nations to stabilize the so-called government of national court which is now under attack by mr hawtrey forces. the prime minister

of the g.s.a. and warned in an e-mail to the wall street journal a oil prices usually rise if wars or unrest occur and oil exploiting countries. this fight terrorism from the us. despite criticism from the u.s. and some of its top allies chinese telecom giant was is posting impressive gains in revenues allegations of spying only seem to have pushed the company to higher and their national profile and probably more of attention too much how to change over to five r.t.s. alex mahela vege and joins us from our hi alex hello there so we got a lot to get there to that quality here this one follows culinarians apart came in and things are looking really good for the company tell us about it. yeah well we've performing really really well almost forty percent year after year that

translates to about twenty seven billion dollars profit margin of eight percent a little bit better than last year so we were seeing definitely that while weight is moving in the plus is looking when you compare it to other companies that are also focused on smartphones as a part of their bigger scheme of things while ways really kicking but there's no other way to put it samsung for example we talked about just a few weeks ago samsung is not performing very well there is they've sort of stagnated with sales numbers and their numbers are not really showing anything that is of interest to investors especially if this is the leader even companies like apple hey i got an i phone but it looks like i'm behind because people right now by the end of this year by their i should say by two thousand and twenty do you see while we surpassing samsung and are ready when it comes to apple wallie is selling more phones so while ways doing well when you look at the business side of things

that's for sure. so the c.i. actually allege that has received funding from china's state security apparatus and falling in line with previous allegations of spying by the company so how while i've been able to buy all of these accusations from the u.s. government. it's interesting because you know a sort of a relentless campaign by the u.s. they even put out a road show where they went around europe and other countries saying hey get off the wall way you know they're spying on you but these are all allegations and here's you know when you break it down what now what the cia saying and this is intelligence that they shared with britain they're basically saying that while we has taken money from the people's liberation army that's the chinese army the chinese national security commission and a third branch of the chinese state intelligence network. so what you know the united states has tried to work with google and amazon we know that amazon's on board with work in the u.s. military so countries do that. are going to stop buying or stop using amazon or

google because the american government during the american military works with them are other countries trying to boycott google or amazon because of that you know this is just the way it works while we happen to be in china happens to be a company that's going to work with the chinese government as well there's really nothing there that is so diabolical or something that we should really be afraid of you also have to look at the fact that like i said these are allegations we're not working with anything really that's proof you know the u.s. government hasn't come out and said hey here's proof of what's going on and we've only heard them saying that you've got to watch you've got to watch out there could be spying and now with this five g. technology rolling out you know that they're adamant about kind of shutting down this company is this a part of the trade do trade war with with china it could all be a part of the bigger equation but u.s. is really actively looking to kind of close things down we have a map here it's going to give you an idea of exactly what this looks like a countries that have banned weiwei so so far it's the u.s.

it's australia. countries such as. japan japan and it's a big one there because japan obviously japan when it comes to attack you know they want to keep it in their interest of the nation so other countries are mulling it over like canada new zealand but so far not too many people have joined the bandwagon are actually not too many countries. fascinating thank you so much for your insight as always r t correspondent alex the hell of it thank you thank you. time now for a quick break but hang here because when we return law chain is making major moves with legacy institution. of the american institute for economic research lend us a hand to break down all the latest by chain is and as we go to break here the numbers at the club.

you know world big. and conspiracy it's time. to dig deeper to hit the stories that made history refuses to tell more than we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting. it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. in crisis as a result of securitizing mortgages that were resold to dozens of times like goldman sachs was.

friends and a. controlled demolition of the housing market all the housing is concentrated in a few as like blackstone as a gift from their friends of the central banks the result is medieval. in. just have to keep it as i live it here if it does then. leave no. need. beyond. we have many things in this world and this is it enough for everyone and why don't some peoples also take our things all the power just for themselves

and that is the mother. for good only if you don't sort the rule book for school districts for the. sobers you do something of that just to me if you go back to cuba. or you measure your purpose and what's at play in your day don't drill. among the water in the mine. to build them over to you before your next if you're that says a pulled muscle so i can be the focus of the security council before you go.

because it is holding steady around the fifty three hundred dollar level from as run up earlier this month the total market cap of the crypto industry is back to around one hundred eighty billion with bitcoin making up fifty two percent of it trading between fifty one and fifty three hundred there's no clear breakout yet last time we checked in mc lyte has just broken the fifty one hundred and the two hundred day moving average very k. technical levels we are hoping to see bitcoin form a golden cross where you see the short term fifty cross over the two hundred signaling a bull rally if they're going to hold the fifty two hundred for another week we could see that the last time we saw the golden triangle was in october two thousand and fifteen and that started the ball rally where we saw bitcoin gain more than sixty seven hundred percent. we're seeing some very good momentum here and gains are holding we aren't even coming down to retest the two hundred day so we're

getting some very good short term confidence and short term risk taking the volume isn't a substantial but it's rising and rising at higher prices it looks like we can hit six thousand soon but i would be cautious here previous support becomes new resistance and six thousand was a huge level of support years worth of support this will be difficult to break and i anticipate an initial read rejection and a pullback before we try again here to help us take a closer look at the markets as jeffrey talker editorial director of the american institute of economic research hi jack. i see you so jeff we're saying big point leave the entire market higher but increasingly we're also starting to see a decoupling within the top twenty points this is very unlike last year where they're becoming less and less correlated with bitcoin what's driving that. well what's driving it is decentralization of the crypto markets a big problem with bitcoin but also called b.p.c. is that it's actually not a very usable token right now it's very expensive and very slow incredibly that

problem has not been solved even though it's now you know the problem has been known about for four years so you seen these other assets come in and perform just in terms of speed and ease of use and expense and i think this is inevitable in the crypt market as for long as the b two c. is going to adapt to the technologies that fix the stuff but they're still in the experimental stage so if you look at the market cap of the industry in general it's up like two hundred fifty percent from its lows and december. to see itself is up about sixty two percent which actually compares the to the bell jones industrial average of twenty three percent since december lows but what's funny to me and it's actually kind of funny for a personal. do you follow the markets very carefully. because encrypt in general still suffers on a kind of i would call it like

a psychological debilitating state or everybody is comparing the current price to the high which were a fluke and so even now i think the wall street journal ran a headline a couple of days ago the something like. the bleeding in the carnage in the crypto industry continues i'm looking at that thinking where is the evidence of that is actually not true but it's because the credit markets picked out you know and december a year ago and you know that was you know that was continues to be the top briefly touch twenty thousand dollars and people are still suffering under this delusion that it should actually be that so it seems to be a pretty decent opportunity to move into the markets at least from the way i'm observing it i think you're right we've consolidated a lot of again so the last several months and we might be prepared for something like a bull run again i can't say for sure of course yeah you're right people always come used to compare apple and amazon microsoft to the highs back in the early days and

it taken now like almost a decade to actually surpass the hi hi yeah that's right and so even now it's funny to me because i have been writing about this since about two thousand and thirteen it does get frustrating because you look at the obituaries for this asset and they keep pouring ended up like everyday people like oh this is it didn't work it's terrible well you know i think you look more objectively at what you see is a conventional trading patterns that you're going to see in any kind of dramatically emerging technology same as. in the late ninety's and early two thousand as following the the same exact pattern i don't think there's any reason to panic about it i mean obviously the technology is not only brilliant but it's very much needed in today's today's world where all of our remittances technology and into big transfers are stuck in. like the eighty's and ninety's level technology dramatically women in desperate need for something big to happen and i

think probably blocks and technology is that very thing. speaking we've seen a very harsh battle we've seen a very big battle between big point cash a.b.c. and declining cash as we and this was used to be a hash wire now turned into exchange delisting war and it has gotten very nasty so give us the latest detail that has been in a taxi industry. well thank you for asking that question which sounds a little obscure to people but what happens the big point cash was a fork of core and then of course b.c.h. then forked again with another theory of the size of the where the block should be sized and it was that kind of a different perspective everybody claims to be carrying on the genuine vision of toshi but that was a bloody battle between what is now called b s b b c h and it was it was kind of painful to watch on the other hand forks are just part of the industry is part of

the market process rolling itself out there was a lot of carnage that resulted from that thing but i think as you look look back at it the market sector has separated itself very well but the people who love gigantic walks are already in a b. and that's that's fine. your perspective and the people who want more careful sort of roll of block size to keep up with the transaction volume they're rallying around b c h the people who believe in just holding that old fashioned. thing called the big question. they're the hollow crowd and bury him with that and if you if you're interested in this and you join twitter your feet can fill up all day with people to be out each other it's a good old fashioned sport out there and. it's very exciting it actually. has been a very interesting battle to watch to see who do list. who has b. i actually just the listed a.b.c. and they are for us visa that was very unexpected move by their on their part out

that's right and depending on which exchange you use you're going to you're going to rally around that exchange on the other hand the really hardcore people sort of forget the exchanges you should this hold your wallets yeah jeffrey you talk to the editorial director at the americans or super economic research thank you so much for joining. pleasure. that that by this time you can catch who must on directv channel three twenty one dish network tell it to eighty or streaming twenty four seven and put a t.v. the free t.v. at channel one thirty two or as always have us about you tube dot com boom bust r t c r next time.
