the past 5 or 6 years very aggressively people have sold dollars to buy these emerging market currencies because they can get a better yield on those currencies suddenly when all liquidity disappears during heisenberg uncertainty for its market to schroedinger's cat of markets everyone is then short dollars and they have to buy those dollars back because they're out losing catastrophic way and all their non dollar plays on the market and this is causing a runaway freight train of the u.s. dollar going higher. trade and investment to become much expels to conjure economic development. most people think about trade they think about goods and services being exchanged between countries and the investment chapter of a trade agreement is

a post something very different but won't win investment leads to toxic manufacturing that destroys sacred sites all. the environment. that means local communities that are being poisoned if they object if they do anything that the company feels is interrupting their profits they can do a. national zoo taking on the whole nation philip morris is trying to use. to stop the oracle from implementing new tobacco regulations aimed at cutting domestic smoking rates a french company sued egypt because egypt raise its minimum wage democratic choice. to join us as we try to fund.

we're going to be conducting this investigation both tell. cornelius the riser is going to be sergeant munoz we're going to have to interview the sense of it and was with the 3 men that they are victims of human trafficking and being more pandering then we're going 'd to attempt to locate and identify where their pimps. one of the vice squad officers has selected the on line profiles of the prostitutes that appear under. as of 2017 they are now considered as victims under california law to help them get out of the game these undercover officers are going to trap them by posing as potential customers this is what we're looking for and here she looks very. you can tell she's using social media that to me is kind of screams that. this has the potential to be a juvenile victim right here. in the market for it is. nothing that you would

believe but the. police will be operating from this luxury hotel by x. 1000000 travelers who crash through this area every year. and the dozens of surrounding hotels are a godsend for pimps. a lot of the girls are like these girls at work prostitution. they know these hotels very well they know that most of the men that call them in this area are business men who are usually from out of town so a lot of times are undercover as well act as businessmen from out of town. 20 or so agents are now inside 2 adjoining rooms in this hotel. is good. so that room is where they will be doing the undercover operation and then the undercover when they get a violation and then we take the female into custody they bring her back in here and you will do the interviews an. undercover cop is already texting

a girl who is potentially under age to gain her trust he is telling her about his evening kind of gave her a story so that it's credible that i was at a strip club and i wanted to. so now that i spoke spoke to her she says she's going to be out here in 20 minutes and hopefully we can get her to come out and then how much was the amount of her that is said $300.00 for an hour or for 50 for 2 hours. ok for example for you get her. reach for hutto those are 2 or 3 times higher than the going rate on the street police officers have police cameras around the bedroom for the operation they can discreetly observe what is going on in the next room. so. they are doing a negotiation we can hear it and it helps us with our investigation later on down

the line if we have it of course they're evil the use of video to show that the officer. to make an agreement the girl a police officer on watch at the hotel entrance alerts the team of the young woman's imminent arrival at all if she starts. to. pull out a system. so she goes to the way to get. police officers bump into was suspicious woman in the corridor or perhaps the prostitutes madam.

the police officer who is posing as the customer comes out of the bedroom pretending to take a phone call. you're. like we need yeah man for your stuff. what matters here. are. the 1st yes oh yes for me. if i didn't know it all because it's such. a young woman is taken into the adjoining room where she's making out like this is her 1st arrest. and. she's taken $200.00 from the fake customer got it. the police officers now want to find out if she is working under a pimp. so like.

this whole. you don't break you're going to pass off. it's impossible to know whether she is working for herself or for someone else despite her young appearance she is in fact to be very beautiful and yeah but they verify she's 20. the police managed to arrest a 2nd prostitute later that evening but she is also of age. they got 2 girls tonight it was a good night they got to unfortunate in getting minors and then one girl was 20 and then a crow was 24. and they're not being trafficked they're doing it on their own. so

they will get. into the jail they'll get a citation and released and then go off their own little way. being charged with prostitution means these 2 girls risk a $1000.00 fine and over 40 hours community service unfortunately the police haven't managed to arrest any underage girls tonight but their efforts to save these young girls from a life of prostitution will soon be rewarded. between tonight operations the hollywood vice squad are taking advantage of those rare moments of downtime to release some tension. early evening and surgery munoz's day has already been pretty busy.

he came in early to help at the detect this. branch of a couple gay members who were actually responsible for shooting. a shooting throughout all the wood and some. surrounding areas so we've got them in custody so we're here at 4 in the morning for you know we're going to start right in the city they will go all night you know address some of the fish and issues fish will be a finite ofeibea long. as hollywood for you usually long nights. surgeon munoz will spend most of tonight patrolling the streets of east hollywood in search of underage prostitutes in his undercover car he will head down western avenue. crushing koreatown with its local businesses and motels but also those more infamous hollywood streets that are ran by gang members surgeon munoz sometimes

stumbles upon some rather unusual scenes during the night. every night at around 10 pm the regular ritual of scantily clad prostitutes coming out onto the street begins to come out here and just plainly walk. wester and you can see how quickly things just get more growth yeah there's there's about 56 different girls it within about a 4 block area. the soliciting is completely uninhibited for everyone to see so you can see them monitoring traffic waving cars blowing kisses at people obviously they're dressed the way their dress or attire it's part of that. and suddenly the surgeon notices a sex worker who appears very young. spring everybody at. all so now she's here on the corner he's here right here because of the street we

have enough on the choruses in the area they've got to try to get her attention to see if she decides to get into the source. one of the plainclothes officers approaches her in his van after a short conversation the young woman agrees to get in. such an alley other than one question declined an hour at all she's trying to screen him and as we can see they're. going to be driving away. surgeon when no standards detail them the it calls in the surrounding area are waiting for the signal from undercover cops before intervening. oks got to have a violation. the

arrests take place at a gas station. the c.c.t.v. cameras and lighting mean it is safer for both parties that. once again the young woman doesn't have any idea on her. so these girls often lie to us about their identity no i.d. and their age even though she's saying she's 20 years old see her parents is that of a german also. these arrests of under age looking girls continue well into the night . because you get. just typical friday night and a hollywood initiated alley. more often than not these girls aren't carrying id they're taken to the station to verify their ages.

in the parking lot one of the girls catches the attention of the officers she's 5 months pregnant. at the precinct surgeon recognisance the young pregnant girl this is the 3rd time she's been arrested. first i was there and left and then we go to. calls to hear her last arrest was when she was 17 years old and she is now potentially of the but the police officers are sure to try to get her somehow not there to see if this who's in charge of the children actually. she actually jumped out of the car ran out for ran away from the c.f.s. and she's but now she's she's probably in a double whammy there i said it i'll let you know 46 us and we will be sure it was . only was a b. . c.

she is the is the center ship british and it all right. very. well then we set in for a full we just need to get the right information out. when checking the files the officers realize that the young woman has lied about her date of birth she's been using her sister's id she is in fact still a teenager so brianna's her older sister's name i just found the board and iris mark. davis actually you know. she was 15 that's a fairly certain you see her sister's information so that it turns out that she still is and so now you get a call b.s. really hopefully help her out and get her out alive but it's going to be a hard road if it's a young. so

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have crazy people in front dacian let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic. to follow only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. the isolation for community. are you going the right way or are you being led. direct. what is true what is faith.

in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maid in the shallows. your government and our government and all the other major governments of the world know what's going to them and when it's going to. but they haven't told you and they haven't told me they haven't announced. imagine something as big as the earth. is going to cause tidal waves or earthquakes volcanoes are going to wrap and it's going to chill. so very well right. my great grandfather's.

nobody would care about the law or prison so you'd have wallace of. a terrible choice between the and. in the headlines from moscow this choose to the 24th of march the russian government announces tough preventative measures because of the spread of covert 19 including steps to track those who've had contact with people who've tested positive. how to stay at home when you go no home to go to how migrants know the people are living on the streets coping with you want to remain indoors leading medical charity tells all tell you about the scale of the problem. we have can all 500 people are in the streets in a very bad condition of course we have.
