8 eat in response to an alleged iranian strike like saudi oil facility iran though claims even riyadh knows it's not to blame. you're watching our to international bring you your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. clashes have erupted at what's become the traditional saturday protests in paris demonstrators gathered to vent their anger over poor living conditions but this time climate change as well more than 100 people have already been detained we go live now to our paris court correspondent charles devinsky what's the latest where you are charlatan. well a convergence of a number of protests today as you said the yellow vests this is the 45th day that they have been out a 45th week even 45th saturday and they've emerged today with climate change

protesters as you can see behind me this is the result as protesters have been hijacked by some of the extreme black blocks as they know they've been burning beings smashing windows buses as they go along a response that the police have been firing tear gas towards the protesters and the firefighters they don't know if you can see just right down in the back their midst all the smoke are trying to put out those fires as they're being burned it's an interesting thing what we're seeing and we're going to just walk around now to get a sense of how many people are out on these different protests to speak to one climate change protesters who told me you know we're not knowing violence this is not what we do yellow vests yes they have been known to have been hijacked to violence but what's happened today is pretty extreme and the police were here and ready to jump on anything that they thought was unruly anything that they thought could lead to violence just to give you a sense 7 and

a half 1000 security forces were out in paris today that is equivalent to the same number we saw out for the may day protests the traditional protests which you know tens of thousands of people joining the every year we don't know the figures for the number of people who've come to these protests today but we can see that the police are clearly trying to crack down on any violence they have being what we call cackling people into certain areas and not allowing them to go out and then tear gassing them in those areas for what seems like no reason you can see that the firefight is just behind me putting out some of those full is that have been burned by some of the protesters. and if we just sort of turn around and look you start to see just how many people in this area many protesters just being pushed to these extremes in away from the areas where they were cooled and didn't buy the police gas has been raining down on us since we arrived at this part of paris but although

this is where the main action is taking place there have also been at the schema she's in other parts of the city across the day and the same can be said in other cities across france as well it just seems as if this movement the l a vest movement which many people who could be dying down over the summer looks like it's been ignited one small does that mean that we're going to see tens of thousands of people on the streets once again certainly the authorities fear and that's why they wanted to have this massive crackdown today 45 weeks of yellow vest protests 5 days of saturday protests and still here almost a year on people still angry with the current state affronts charlotte bringing us the latest live from paris thank you oh. and the protest mood seems to be taking hold around the world coming up later in the program hong kong is again in the grip

of protest with anti beijing activist appealing to the west and they're supporting turn up linking the identities of mass demonstrators. top traders who are america's largest bank j.p. morgan chase have found themselves at the center of a justice department investigation their cues are manipulating the price of precious metals over the course of years. looks at how they managed to stay under the radar for so long. when it comes to wall street hollywood doesn't exactly sprinkle stardust while portraying bankers banks got greedy. we profit off their stupid if you want to bet against the banks that think we're either high or having a stroke. name again move the money from your clients talk to you but if you make claims 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

in a massive multi-year scheme to manipulate the market for precious metals futures contracts and defraud 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

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. the world silver so messing with the price of it certainly had big implications for them now this 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

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 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 committed 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 fraud in the markets is somehow sacrosanct with the american way they they equate american islamic capitalism with fraud that thanks to eric holder barack obama and now donald trump this is the american economy we've been reporting for he hears 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. the u.s. is sending extra troops and air defense systems to saudi arabia and. according to the pentagon the move is a response to iranian aggression earlier i spoke with south korea taylor about the development. the pentagon announced on friday that it will be sending additional troops what it calls a moderate number which is yet to be disclosed and military clinton both to saudi arabia and the u.a.e. primarily it says for defensive purposes now the u.s. claims that this was the request of local authorities to iran illegibly conducted a drone attack on 2 state run all over finally and a major oil field in saudi arabia just last week as the president has made clear the united states does not seek conflict with iran that said we have many other military options available should they be necessary it would be rosen with

thousands of troops struggling hundreds of troops so does the secretary. do 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 and surprisingly there have been accusations about but what concrete facts do we know about those attacks well what's important to note is that the u.s. has yet to provide any concrete evidence that iran is behind the attack despite conducting various investigations in fact the rebels in yemen has already claimed responsibility which is something that the u.s. a sort of tunning a bit of a blind eye to at the moment but here's what are some mixed messages because also on friday the saudi forces retaliated by you want a series of strikes near the yemeni port city of data by their own admission to stop rebels from conducting air assaults on shipping vessels in the red sea and

this seems a bit contradictory because as the iranian foreign minister says the strikes seemingly seem to suggest that sowed you of saudi arabia saying yes this is the rebels are behind attacking oil facilities and so we're not going to punish them on prevent them from doing anything similar in the future. since the saudi regime has blamed iran the basis is that is for the attacks on its own facilities curious that they retaliated against her data in yemen today breaking the u.n. cease fire it is clear that even the saudis themselves don't believe the fiction of iranian involvement tehran claims that it's ready for any scenario and that whichever country decides to potentially attack iran will become the site of a major battlefield so we have the u.s. sending these troops but that's not the only pressure they've decided to put on the iranians tell us more about that well no as is often the case as strikes and troop deployment haven't been the only reaction this has been

a sort of multi-pronged attack so washington has also decided to continue economically strangling iran by announcing a new survey of round of sanctions this time both on the central bank of iran and the national development fund these are the higher sanctions ever imposed on a country we've never done it to this level. it's too bad what's happening with iran it's going to hell because sanctioning iran's central bank reveals more than anything the us is desperation the americans have imposed all types of sanctions they can on iran now what they're doing is imposing sanctions on the central bank which was sanctioned before under different pretext their action is certainly hazardous and unacceptable and it is also a violation of international law. definitely a tense and quite fast unfolding situation and certainly an indication that unfortunately the standoff between tehran and washington doesn't look like it's

going to ease up anytime soon tehran based political analysts must offer question believes the u.s. military threat has lost all credibility in the eyes of iranian officials. as a matter of fact in addition to milk in the south of the cows that same fashion nowadays. there needs to be some you know reinforcement in the region for the united states in order to take that gesture that it's still a strong it's ready to go for action to save face in the world on the other hand they have long been pursuing this strategy to widen their military build up in the persian gulf in order to push themselves into the management and control of the waterway the strait of or most once a year on shutdown their global hawk the american drone 3 months ago this law was called by iran and there you know military threats have no

more credibility in the eyes of the iranian officials but all in all it's not going to be war against iran we all know that we are sure about that for various reasons . hong kong place are trying to break up anti-government protesters after several 1000 gathered for the 16th consecutive weekend of demonstrations i. please have already used control weapons and pepper spray against the demonstrators who have been blocking street. flags and story property today and by subway stations have been closed earlier pro china supporters pull down messages and images put up on a special wall beijing activist rebel sides have lately adopted new tactics to get their way and it happens explain. for months hong kong has been embroiled in massive protests each passing week to 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 picking. tactics to get one over their opponents in an apparent deadlock. many protests this feel this conflict is unwinnable wars are a powerful ally and western political intervention to tip the scales in their favor 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 proposition 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 officials and other citizens a large number of our officers and their families have the impression that data unlawfully collected at least practice norms and passing personal data including id card numbers birth date telephone numbers address and photos such data was this close on social media without the consent of armed police. 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 withdrawal 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 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 the violence is always appreciated for the political play of the western media or so surprising with british rule north american borders are

always there but we're always begins charging it was 3 years while they are there were there or usually a girl who were. these guys who are. actually a whole peaceful citizens and the law and force him to. be sure it's aldridge people although the racial tension high also which are recent was well they'd prefer you all to lose well the creation of beijing is going to grow. it's going to be used against immediately but it was. still to come on the program our correspondent travels to pakistan for a levels are worried by rising taxes and fears of a lot of rats story and more after the break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on very dramatic development only and going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very. to kill time time to sit down and talk. you know world of big partisan. and conspiracies it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.

come back with pakistan planning its budget for next year many locals are worried by rising taxes amid fears a political unrest that's what our correspondent paula fare for going trip to islamabad. this is one of pakistan's busiest markets where shop owners are the 1st to feel the brunt of the government's efforts to introduce tax reform and the economic measures to try and address the failing economy but people here are angry the thing is that many of the shops here are not legally wages to and so the requirement that they do so and also pay taxes to put it mildly is not being

welcomed by everyone yes we are facing difficulties on inflation on the rates of poverty are high still we hope things will get better it's on the pakistani economy is facing one of its worst crises ever the population here numbers some 208000000 but he's growing by nearly no surprise then that the government has been forced to come up with out of the box solutions economic situation is quite bleak in pockets . and country have been for a thing you can only cry through. we country for a program for the right because of the i.m.f. . and the impact of these going to show for the poor low income group which. belong to various factions including the leader of the group and they. do believe the government people are in distress or are there for you think. growth of

a program they're not happy for there are transferred there are people who may go on strike prime minister among cons government has power ties the development of small and medium sized enterprises how satisfied are you with what the government has been doing for the last year economically. in the course of just a year nothing can actually be done iran has a 5 year job out there that will see what he's managed to achieve despite the difficult times most people here have hope that the economic times will turn. policia r.t. some of the. international life sciences institute in washington d.c. sounds harmless enough but a recent report suggest the i r s i is home to a very powerful lobbying group working on behalf of the u.s. food industry the institute claims to promote science for the public good and to be transparent and denies it functions as a lobby group but i meet 3 of us start out one of the people featured in the exposé

begs to differ if you look at the conflict of interest statement for example for advice it's buy in see our stories birth directors it makes it very clear that in the interests of israel see must come number one at the interest of any other party will come secondary to that this is a huge problem because this organization has been able to infiltrate if you may different government agencies particularly one government agency that decides on the rules and regulations on food safety and standards each year these people who sit on the board of directors of elsie. also sitting on these committees of government agencies that are supposed to do food safety. standards and regulations there should be a split between their representatives who. see and people who are actually work he

was government agencies to protect public health according to a recent study the institute's offshoot in china is said to have influenced the government's anti obesity program resulting in guidelines that downplayed the role of diet in india the reportedly obstructed government efforts to flag up potentially unhealthy foods and a few decades ago it also championed thing to back up industries interests in europe and america or more recently its support of claims that a widely use we kill or does not cause cancer the institute's website boasts that it's an ngo working to promote health and the environment it does not mention who its donors are though reportedly these include coca-cola pepsi co and mcdonald's i mean again gives further insight into how the. operates. you'll see seeks to influence individuals positions and policy both nationally and internationally on his corporate members deployed as a tool to promote their interests globally this is

a group that is there to promote the interests of the food companies particularly with government officials around the world who are dealing with public health issues in those countries now what we're finding is that we'll see is actually producing studies that we call our absolute casie lead studies in other words these are studies that are designed to influence policy makers by downplaying the real rule for example sugar so these are manufactured studies and this is a huge problem because what they're doing is that they are also growing or working with government scientists and government officials to make these studies more credible we've contacted the international life sciences institute for a response to these allegations no reply as of yet. start mixed
