you think this is going to be enough we think for now that would be sufficient but that doesn't mean there could be additional deployments as needed based on the changing situation washington accused iran of bombing the oil infrastructure last weekend and turn in missile attacks were claimed by hooty rebels in yemen on friday saudi forces launched several airstrikes over the yemeni port city of her data aside the coalition spokesman said the goal was to prevent the rebels from launching remote controlled assaults on shipping in the red sea the iranian foreign minister has commented on those saudi strikes saying they're essentially an admission that i think rebels are behind the all of a fine republicans. since the saudi regime has blamed iran but useless for the attacks on its own facilities curious that they retaliated against her daughter in yemen today breaking un cease fire it is clear that even the saudis themselves don't believe in the fiction of iranian involvement i guess say the u.s.
4:03 am
is just protecting its own interests in saudi arabia. the thinking behind these u.s. deployments ms rose is that the u.s. is trying to protect what it considers to be their own or what it's considering to be their strategic lifeline so by sending more troops because we sent 500 troops back in july but i read that in this troop deployment the u.s. is very concerned about the security of saudi arabian oil it's not a proxy war there is an office or more that's already been put in the you want you and i think. they were. being. as it is and all the forces from. the army national army. general back in 2000 you know sports. from despite all the destruction of their farms and all the

suffering constant torture they have not succeeded in there are certain war. top traders from america's largest bank j.p. morgan chase a found themselves at the center of a justice department investigation they're accused of manipulating the price of precious metal surface some $80.00 is on the scale of opening up at how they managed to say below the authorities rate alpha so long. when it comes to wall street hollywood doesn't exactly sprinkle stardust while portraying bankers banks got greedy. we profit off their stupidity you want to bet against the banks that think we're either high or having a stroke. name again move the money from your client's pocket and you copy but if you can make clients' money at the same time it's advantageous to everyone correct . but it turns out that that silver screen image isn't that far from the truth 3 top executives at j.p. morgan have found themselves in court the defendants and of those allegedly gauged
4:05 am
in a massive multi-year scheme to manipulate the market for precious metals futures contracts and of fraud market participants now one of the laws invoked by the federal prosecutors is the rico act this is a law designed to take down criminal syndicates like the mafia. so what exactly did these j.p. morgan guys do well according to the indictment federal prosecutors say they used any illegal method called spoofing to mess with the price of silver well let's say that you flood the market with orders for silver this creates the impression that
4:06 am
the demand is higher and you cancel all of those orders now this is illegal because it essentially makes the price of yoyo in an illegitimate synthetic way not according to the natural cycles of the market it is illegal to do this just once but apparently these j.p. morgan guys were doing it for an entire decade now it's worth mentioning that at this point j.p. morgan owns roughly 50 percent. of the world silver so messing with the price of it certainly had big implications for them now the scheme that the federal prosecutors have apparently just uncovered has been somewhat of an open secret for years here's our tease max kaiser describing it almost a decade ago on this channel they have sold shell silver contracts that don't exist they're engaged in naked short selling this is a form of counterfeiting well here's a modern day max telling us exactly how they got away with it for so long well eric holder who was the attorney general under obama when this 1st came to light said
4:07 am
that market manipulation and fraud were important for the american economy and that he is the attorney general could not prosecute and that too big to jail was a part of the the part of the legal landscape of america now and so bankers were given a green light to commit massive fraud so that was the message from the department of justice under eric holder was commit all the fraud you need as long as we support the u.s. dollar and if you need to manipulate markets and break laws then we're going to look the other way because the just the part of believes that the broadening the markets is somehow sacrosanct with the american way they equate americanism and capitalism with fraud that thanks to eric holder barack obama and now donald trump this is the american economy we've been reporting here's as you know. these indictments always curious to see if anything comes out of it so far nobody has

really paid a price for committing massive fraud. people in hong kong a gathering for a 16th consecutive weekend to get them in protests fast despite the initial demand of the demonstrators having been met and the approaching a sport has pulled down messages and images put up on a special wall by protesters the rival sides resorting to new tactics to get that way down holkins takes a closer look. for months hong kong has been embroiled in massive protests each passing week his see mistrust confrontation and violence on the 2 sides of the barricades escalate so many on the streets this has become a war of attrition with an implacable enemy both sides pick new tactics to get one over their opponents in an apparent deadlock. many protests this feel this conflict is unwinnable wars are a powerful ally of western political intervention to tip the scales in their favor
4:09 am
peace. and your health are paddling. upon. by potentially passing this act the us risks the revocation of hong kong special status crushing the region's economy but this seems a secondary concern when there are bigger battles to fight. while pitched battles are fought in the streets conflict has also spilled over online docs in the intentional spreading of private details in order to harass intimidate or coerce is the new favorite weapon and both sides are guilty it's a tactic that's illegal yet hundreds of complaints have been emerging over the last few months many incidents of targeted propositions journalists chinese state media have condoned revealing identities of protesters and on the opposite sides about 40 percent of such cases have targeted police officers or their families government
4:10 am
officials and other citizens a large number of our officers and their families have the impression that data unlawfully collected at leat practice norms and passing personal data including id card numbers birth date telephone numbers and dress and photos such data was this close on social media without the consent of our colleagues. that now seems inevitable recent polls show that 90 percent of demonstrators now agree that radical tactics are needed to get their way a sign that a political ceasefire is nowhere in sight the protesters got what they wanted all those months ago withdraw all of the widely criticized extradition bill but that's no longer enough an inquiry into police brutality fundamental political reforms resignations the list of demands grows longer the hong kong chief executive carrier has offered dialogue. we are holding the 1st session next week and this is an
4:11 am
open dialogue platform we will invite people from all walks of life to come to express their views to us this is because of our conviction that common occasion is far better than confrontation but when both sides seem more focused on fighting their perceived enemy than seeking a way forward kerry has a mountain to climb but violence is always appreciated for the political play of the western media or so surprising we british or the very. borders are always there but we're always begins charging there was 3 groups one of the day out of the. girl. who are. actually. useful citizens and the law enforcement to. be sure it's all 3 people although the racial tension high also which was that

4:13 am
saying now ladies and gentleman i'm a jew. and we are raised to say never. is happening. those kind of why words and that kind of rhetoric. that results in people who may not be of sound mind doing things like shooting bullets into an ice assault in san antonio texas almost hitting one of my agents. immigration is currently an issue dominating u.s. politics when he claimed the cities are inhumane following the deaths of 24 immigrants in ice custody some go so far as saying the camp should be abolished they've been attacks on several i said it is across the country one facility in san antonio was fired upon in the early hours though nobody was hurt while a protest is expected at the home of a warden of a facility in colorado we spoke to our guest today rivera who thinks the anti ice
4:14 am
rhetoric is dividing the nation. i think it's one of the most disgusting mis uses of this type of dog whistle politics i've ever seen in my life i mean i was watching the video with the ice director of matthew i'll be. really making a plead 1st to end it i mean these border agents have a dangerous job you know that we had the exuded where somebody tried to shoot one of the facilities the other was our attempted a bomb threat you know where it could have hurt you know the detainees i mean i really find it disgusting and particularly you know if i was jewish and living in america and you're in that type of comparison to that and being nazis it would be sickening and maybe never want to vote for people on the left they go ahead and push this language of this kind of this kind of anti ice rhetoric i think this rhetoric at all in any way is designed to help anything i mean i just think if anything it's just biting the nation further. responding travels to pakistan where
