another weekend of protests in paris turns violent with some demonstrators smashing windows police responded with tear gas. this is america's largest bank charged with price manipulation and legislation that targeted the mafia says they've been getting away with it for years. 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. the u.s. will send more troops to saudi arabia and the u.a.e.

in response to an alleged iranian strike in the oil facility tehran the claims that even riyadh knows it's not. like joining us but not every mosque of course this is. clashes have erupted it was become the traditional saturday protest in paris demonstrators gathered to the poor living conditions and also crucially this time climate change as well 150 people were detained reports from the. several clashes taking place across paris we're here on the seans elisei 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 have cordoned an 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

are 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 but all of the police did is 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 are saying you know given their liberty this is a against their constitutional rights to be held like this for no reason we've also seen tear gas used here on the 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 officers that is equivalent to what we saw on may the 1st when they were food 100000 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 moved by had 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 there were calls not to where you know fast 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 have us in regardless of these calls invest we're more noticeable which means they're easy to spot they attack us and so we dissolved in the crowd and in fact was so branded that by taking off. are you going fast we again become ordinary citizens just angry citizens 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 and away from the areas where they were called in didn't by the police tear 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. the protests we seem to be taking hold around the world coming up later hong kong again in the grip of protests and to beijing activists appeal to the west those who support china of the identities of. the for the top traders from america's largest bank j.p. morgan chase and found themselves at the center of a justice department investigation they're accused of manipulating the price of precious metals of the course of 8 years to scalable but looks at just 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 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 again move the money from your clients talk to you but if you can make clients' money at the same time it's advantageous to everyone correct. but it turns out 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 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 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 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 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 a 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. ron says it's ready to to any country that attacks it into a battle field if it has to retaliate this is the saudi foreign minister blamed around for the recent drug attacks on saudi oil facilities spawn the fact its own investigation that's still ongoing. 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 u.s. washington is sending extra troops and defense systems to saudi arabia around the u.a.e. according to the pentagon move is a response to rein in aggression earlier on my colleague jacqueline virga spoke 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 has yet to be disclosed and matric whitten 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 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 has already 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 launching 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 of iran 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 u.s. 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 a 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. ongoing police are trying to break up and government protesters after several 1000 of them gathered for the 16th consecutive weekend of demonstrations. i was i. controlled weapons on purpose against the demonstrators who would be blocking streets with barricades burning flags and destroying property nearby subway stations were closed earlier on pro shyness supporters pulled their messages and images of the special war and beijing activists these 2 rival sides lately adopted new tactics to try to get their own way and hawkins explains. 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 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. at risk. 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 ing 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 sides about 40 percent. cent 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 data unlawfully collected only practice norms and passing the 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 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 share 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 carrier has a mountain to climb the violence is always initiated voted out there was never a couple of plate of us to the media or who literally it's so surprising we british

of all north american reporters are always there but we're always begins charging the wall street those while they are they were there or usually go to hold their. allies who are. actually a whole the peaceful citizens and the more forceful agents be sure it's all very much people are oh the racial tension high also which are a recent visit but they'd prefer you will all soon as well the creation of beijing is going to grow on this road those who is going to be used against them immediately but it was the proper. course of all the troubles that pakistan where locals are worried about rising taxes amid fears of political unrest when you have report after the short break.

made of interest rates are telegraphing a drop in population if you look at forced consumption of the present to feed the body's game that means you've got this generation will have to be sacrificed and so you know humans have not really psychologically evolved from the days when they just used outright. children for their gods or their books or a generation see for the policy gods. 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.

with pakistan planning its budget for next year many locals are worried about rising taxes amid fears of political unrest that's what our correspondent paula slip found during her trip to islam about. 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 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 thing you can only cry through. we country for a program for the right for because of the. vision of our. and the impact of these going to show for the poor and the low income group which. belong to various factions including the leader of the group and they may differ but authority to. the government people are in distress or are there for a thing. growth of

a program they're not happy for there are transferred there people 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 in rum 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 has been lighted by some politicians to nazi era concentration camps.

we don't run concentration camps that ice doesn't put kids in cages. that were not nazis and foresee a lot of the worse by a federal judge. united states is running concentration camps on our southern border and that is exactly what they are 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 ready to say never. happened. 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 mass your 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 he put her 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 of anything it's just biting the nation further. those kind of language and that kind of. that results in people who may not be of sound mind doing things like shooting bullets into a nice

a cell in san antonio texas almost hitting one of my agents. the f.b.i. special agent in charge worried that political debate is what like to be 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 in a search is underway for one or more suspects the f.b.i. says shot at an i saw tony overnight. and staying with this is saving this is all teens and national updates coming your way in half an hour.

for the big pain in years and cross started 10 years i think it's time to shake things up maybe change the branding maybe the format here is what i've been thinking about next season related episodes filmed on an island 10 experts fight it out for a trophy what do you think ok a more affordable option $25.00 text for. one red rose another suggestion political jeopardy parody no political cookout where we will literally wrote the elites. late night show it's a rare format piece days and it's cheap all you need is an old microphone in a printed banner. to leave me with i guess i can do this campbell after politics gone wild like music. ok crosstalk is not about

hype it's about meaning 10 years of talk and still going strong. peter if you want to change something why don't we get rid of the bow tie no that is too much. time after times are we going underground hours 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 they say sure there's the israeli election signaled the end of the netanyahu era we all. the editor in chief of the jerusalem post katz what this week means for the future of the middle east and the most famous
