protests in paris demonstrators gathered to vent their anger over poor living conditions but also this time climate change as well 152 people have been detained to show that depends reports from the scene. several clashes taking place across paris we're here on the show in silesia a 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 the police did is decided to bring people up the street bring people down the street and hold them together and this is now who is in a sense of tension a much you'll see this one man who is all going with the police people will be saying you know given their liberty this is against

a constitutional rights to be held like this for no reason we've also seen tear gas used here only 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 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 my 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 there were calls not to where you know vast sums not 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 dissolve in the crowd and in fact who so branded by taking off. 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 in away from the areas where they were called in didn't by the police to 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 married seems to be taking hold elsewhere in the world coming up later in the program hong kong is again in the grip of unrest with anti beijing activists appealing to the west and those supporting china leaking the identity of mask them

traitors. and it's more of a headline news top of traders from america's largest bank j.p. morgan chase and found themselves in the center for justice department investigation they're accused of manipulating the price of precious metals over the course of 80th. 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 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 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 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. 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 the part of believes that the fraud in the markets is somehow sacrosanct with the american way they they equate americanism of 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. saudi arabia has vowed to

retaliate against the bombing of its oil refineries last weekend the saudi probe into the instance is still ongoing but the kingdom has already blamed iran which itself denies any involvement and that has led to a furious war of what's. and kind of you should we're 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 because. if any country wants to attack iran it will seize territory turned 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 the u.s. meanwhile is sending extra troops in the air defense systems to saudi arabia and the u.a.e. according to the pentagon the move is a response to iranian aggression earlier my colleague jacqueline berger talked

artie's saskia taylor about this development. the pentagon announced on friday that it would be sending additional troops what it calls a moderate number which has yet to be disclosed and minute should quit 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 electrically 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 how to read he claimed responsibility which is something that the u.s. a sort of turning a bit of a blind eye to at the moment but his what are some mixed messages because also on friday the saudi forces retaliated by want to 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 a u.n. cease fire it is clear that even the saudis themselves don't believe the fiction of iranian involvement toronto names 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 run 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 alter on base political analysts say of mustapha who believes the u.s. military threat has lost all credibility in the armies of iranian officials. as

a matter of fact in addition to milk in the south of the cows that some 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 buildup in the persian gulf in order to push themselves into the management and control of the waterway the strait of hormuz once in iran shut down their global hawk the american drone few months ago this loft 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 police are

trying to break up anti-government protests several 1000 gathered for the 16th consecutive weekend of demonstrations. i. police have already used control weapons and pepper spray against the demonstrators who have been blocking streets with barricades burning flags and destroying property to nearby subway stations have been closed earlier pro china supporters down messages and images put up on a special and from beijing activists the rival sides have lately adopted new tactics to get their own way daniel hawkins explains. for months hong kong has been embroiled in massive protests each passing week has seen 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 worse than political intervention to tip the scales in their favor peace. rest. 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 all 9 dogs 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. 2 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 data unlawfully collected only practice norms and passing the personal data including id card numbers birth date telephone numbers at 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 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 where shall 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 initiated voted out this level of coverage play the western media or belittle it so surprising with british and or north american reporters are always there. always begins charging it was 3 years

while they are there were there or usually got a hold where the public properties belies who are. actually. both the peaceful citizens and the law and force him to. be sure it's all the rage people are outraged in shanghai also which are a recent visit but they'd prefer you all to this location because of beijing is going to grow all these rioters so it's going to be used against that immediately put a western propaganda. correspondent travel to pakistan out of wedlock because of void by by think tanks in and it pays a political unrest never thought after this short break.

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 if. we country for programs for the right because of the. you know i love condition of. the impact of this going to show for the poor and the low income group which. belong to various factions including the leader of the group and for paternity leave the government people are in distress or are there for a thing. growth of program they're not happy for there are transferred

we don't run concentration camps that ice doesn't put kids in cages. that we're not not to use and. by federal judge. united states is running concentration camps on our southern border and that is exactly what they are going to you know raid these people's houses and what have you know it's a very reminiscent of that nazi germany just saying i am now ladies and gentlemen. and we are reading this to say nothing. is happening. thanks 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 who all the ins 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 and all anyway is designed to help anything i mean i just think if anything it just biting the nation further. and i can't. that results in people who may not be of sound
