will send more troops to saudi arabia and the u.a.e. in response to an alleged rainin strike on an oil facility even riyadh knows it's not. very good evening to you thanks for joining us this is. coming. up to become the traditional saturday protest in paris demonstrators gathered to vent their anger over poor living conditions but also this time importantly climate change as well 150 people have been detained. from the same. several clashes taking place across paris we're here on the show in silesia where act 45 has taken place or you just get a sense of behind me there is a huge amount of anger here and that's because the police of course who did the area with the people inside it which they are not letting out and as you can see

some of the people on the outside protesters are calling for the liberty of these people being cordoned in this section cordoned for no reason we were actually in there ourselves we were allowed out because we're members of the press or the police did this decided to bring people up the street bring people down the street and hold them together this is no coup was in a sense of tension he might feel see this one man who is all going with the police people to be saying you know given their liberty this is against a constitutional rights to be held like this for no reason and we've also seen tear garrus used here on this shows a lazy again used on people who didn't appear to be doing anything to warrant the use of that type of force there is a huge mobilization of police across paris today more than 7000 offices that is equivalent to what we saw on may the 1st when they were footie 1000 protesters out

on the streets it's not clear how many are out on the streets today but what i can tell you is all around me there is this palpable anger and this is just one spot in paris where people are gathered just a movie i have never seen such strong suppression i just counted $35.00 motorcycles that is $35.00 police motorcycles that is a total of 70 police officers on motorbikes will kill you does that cause not to why you know so as not to become a target of law enforcement but besides this i realize that many participants in the movement don't want to wear vests and regardless of these calls invest will noticeable which means they easily dispatch they attack us and so we dissolve in the crowd and in fact who so grounded by taken on. on you know past we've become ordinary citizens just angry citizens but we can see that the police are clearly trying to crack down on any violence they have been what we call cackling people

into certain areas and no 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 and away from the areas where they were cooled and didn't by 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 skirmishes 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 best movement which many people thought 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 that's certainly what the authorities

fear and that's why they wanted to have this massive crackdown today 45 weeks of yellow vest protests 45 days of saturday protests and it's still here almost a year on people still angry with the current state of france. and the protests mood seems to be taking hold right around the world still to come in this program hong kong is again in the grip of protests with anti beijing activists appealing to the west than those supporting china leaking the identity of must vandals. before the top traders for america's largest bank j.p. morgan chase a fog observes at the center of a justice department investigation they are accused of manipulating the price of precious metals over the course of $8.00 is on the scale of more but look at how they managed to stay under the radar so long. when it comes to wall street hollywood doesn't exactly sprinkle stardust while portraying bankers thanks to a 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 you move the money from your clients like you would if you could 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 are no this allegedly did 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 it legal 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 still 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 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 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 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 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. around says it's ready to turn any country that attacks it into a battlefield if it has to retaliate this is the saudi foreign minister blamed around for recent drone attacks on saudi oil facilities despite the fact its own investigation that's still ongoing. on the cover be assured we are certain the attacks didn't come from yemen but from the north the attacks were undertaken with iranian weapons and for this reason we hold iran accountable for them but. if any country wants to attack iran it will seize territory turn into the conflicts main

battlefield will never let any war be dragged into iran we will continue until the end we will continue until the full destruction of any aggressor and we will leave no safe place for enemies as for the united states washington is an annex to troops and their defense systems to saudi arabia and the u.a.e. according to the pentagon the moves a response to rein in aggression early my colleague jacqueline verger talked to r.t. saskia taylor about developments. 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 minutes for 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 allegedly conducted a drone attack on 2 state run over fines 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 also just 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 how the ready claimed responsibility which is something that the u.s. a sort of turning 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 saudi of saudi arabia saying yes this is the rebels are behind attacking oil facilities and so we're not going to punish them and 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. 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 a severe round of sanctions this time both on the central bank run and the national development fund these are the highest 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 any time soon. political analysts. believe that the u.s. military threat turns 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 of 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 you're on shut down their global fog the

american drone few months ago this law was called by iran and there are 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 police are trying to break up anti-government protesters have to several 1000 gathered for the 16th consecutive weekend of demonstrations was. police have already used control weapons and pepper spray against the demonstrators have been blocking states with barricades burning flags and destroying property nearby subway stations being closed early approach china supporters pull down messages and images put on a special hold by anti beijing activists rather sides of let me talk to new tactics

to get their way holkins explains. for months hong kong has been embroiled in massive protests each passing week his sea mistrust confrontation and violence on the 2 sides of the barricades escalate for 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 protesters 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 u.s. 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 pro opposition journalists chinese state media have condoned revealing identities of protesters and on the opposite side 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 of the lawfully collect at least some practice norms and passing that personal data including id card numbers birth date telephone numbers 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. demonstrators now agree that radical tactics are needed to get their way a sign that a political ceasefire is nowhere in sight the protesters have got what they wanted all those months ago and 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 but violence is always appreciated. over a couple of plays the western media or so surprising with british or more of the american borders are always there but we're always begins charging there was food that was one of the be out of the world or usually a girl who were. these guys who are. actually. useful citizens and the law and force him to. be sure it's aldridge people all over the racial tension high also which are recent was that they'd prefer you know all this while the creation of beijing is going to grow. those who it's going to be used against immediately but it was to. come our correspondent travels to pakistan where locals are worried about taxes amid fears the political unrest will

bring in her report after this break. what politicians do. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to the press it's like i'm a 43 in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of our. city. tensions between the masses and classes have existed ever since modern states came into being but often serve as a driver of political change with russian civil society growing larger and louder

against the excesses of the governing elite what is the future of the political system look like. pakistan planning its budget for next year the locals are worried about rising taxes amid fears of political unrest that's what our correspondent paula slip found out during a 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 and i'm a program for the right for because of the. vision of. the impact of these going to show for the poor and the low income groups which. belong to various factions including the leader of the group and.

the government people are in distress at the moment 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 prioritized 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 to do 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 artie islamabad. the acting director of u.s. immigration and customs enforcement says that the rhetoric of some democrats is leading to attacks against its employees the treatment of migrants at ice is

facilities that rely can buy some politicians to nancy era concentration camps. we don't run concentration camps that ice doesn't put kids in cages. that were not not so you can foresee a law. by a federal judge. united states is running concentration camps on our southern border and that is exactly what they are is going to raid these people's houses and what have you know if they'd really reminiscent of that nazi germany just say i am now ladies and gentlemen. and we are reading this to say never. happened. thank you 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 are you i was watching the video with the ice director of matthew albion's and really making a plead 1st day on it i mean these border agents have a dangerous job you know that we had the incident where somebody tried to shoot one of the facilities the other was 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 hearing that type of comparison to them being nazis it would be sickening and maybe never want to vote for people on the left they go ahead and push this language and this kind of this kind of anti ice rhetoric i think this rhetoric at all or any way is designed to help anything i mean i just think if anything it's just biting the nation further.

words and i can't. results in people who may not be of sound mind doing things like shooting bullets into a nice facility in san antonio texas almost hitting one of my agents. the f.b.i. special agent in charge worried that the medical debate to be a violent act. with a couple 100 of them who went on to isis property broke the rules what was supposed to be a legal and peaceful protest the search is underway for one or more suspects the f.b.i. says shot it in. thanks

for staying with us this evening ivanoff. thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the country's military and the decision. every song came to a complete. the day that i was right. you know told to show what they'd kill me and i see how it destroyed my life any screamed at me and he made me come in and he grabbed my arm and he raped me with his birthing if you take into account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation and it's probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military rape is a very very traumatizing tat happen but i've never seen trauma like i've seen women who are veterans who suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more

likely to get the victim punished than the offender and almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i gave a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of our in violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's a man or one. time after time here we're going underground after a global climate action strike and as the corruption convicted boss of the i.m.f. christine lagarde is appointed boss of the european central bank coming over the

show corruption violence and i mix a sure there's the israeli election signaled the end of the debt. we'll ask the editor in chief of the jerusalem post katz what this week means for the future of the middle east and the most famous journalist publisher in the world was supposed to be released from jail tomorrow but he won't be wiki leaks tells us u.k. authorities have proven lies exposure war crimes plus. what if you can't account for justice running at london's raindance film festival we talked to its arrested director at the on of the sierra about claims tens of millions of americans are lying on the safe drinking water only coming up in today's going on the ground of a straight to the nation britain is selling record amounts of weapons through not saudi arabia but israel where this week's vote has left the country and repeated violation of u.n. resolutions in political chaos joining me from jerusalem is the editor in chief of the jerusalem post and the author of shadow strike inside israel secret mission to

eliminate syrian nuclear power. thanks for coming on people saying here obviously the palestinians have already lost if netanyahu loses outright in all the talks and everything will go to jail for corruption it's too early to tell you know there are these 3 criminal cases that are against him you supposed to have a hearing or an october 2nd by the end with you turn the general following which there will be a final decision on the indictment in the charges that will include a chance if he's going to go to jail but what i can say is that even if he ends up forming the coalition and stays on as prime minister it's just difficult for me to imagine how he does that after an indictment when he's on trial i just don't see how that practically can work in the run up to the election you appeared to allege he was i don't know a bit of a racist using racist dog whistle politics why.
