the data amazon collects from all of its marketplace sellers. >> we see amazon mines their data, watches what they're selling welle a seller in that category itself. it's a very difficult environment in order to succeed in. >> but jeff wilke, the man in charge of the amazon marketplace, sees it much differently. >> we don't use any data about specific items that's not available to the world by just looking at our website. >> which may be true, but amazon knows how to access and analyze its data better than anyone else. does amazon give priority to and prioritize its private label in search? >> we prioritize the things that customers want. >> in a recent hearing on capitol hill, an amazon attorney went a step further and categorically denied the claim. >> we do not use their individual data when we're making decisions to launch private brands. our incentive is to help the seller succeed because we rely on them. >> third-party vendors now make up more than half of amazon's online sellers, helping to fuel its marketplace dominance. >> worldwide retail is something like $30 trillion. we are about 1% of that. >> you'r

fires that are affecting the amazon. well let's get more on this now we're joined by charles shapiro in atlanta he's a former u.s. ambassador to venezuela he also worked in the state department as a deputy assistant secretary for the western hemisphere mr shapiro very good to have you with us on al-jazeera are so what do you make of the international pressure on president balls and our right now is that helpful in protecting the amazon or not. i think the president has mishandled this. from the brazilian perspective mccrone released a tape publicly before even talk to president both a lot of. just very basic in foreign policy in fact in interpersonal relations if you want to get somebody to do something that's way to do it is talk to them before you go public before you make a big deal about how they're doing everything wrong and of course president hasn't reacted well to that he accused from germany of meddling in brazilian affairs for political gain but if we look at what's been happening in the european countries themselve

why is he determined to have it driven and more mining and agriculture and grazing land in the amazon? wellrt of this political support comes from groups that are the ones you want to exploit economically be amazon more, select mining groups and also the cattle ranchers and all these agricultural businesses. they are all part of his political support group, the people who help can come to power. but there is also a belief, a strong belief by the president, which comes also from his military advisers that there is a lot of wealth to be made in the amazon, and that wealth belongs to the brazilian people. it's about a sort that he is trying to put into his government. and in every post that he had, like all the ministries and everyone who is holding a governmentjob, they sort of a line with that thinking. here in the uk, air force helicopters had been dropping sand and gravel and stone to try to stabilise a wall of the band i missed appears it could blurt bursting and got the time. 1500 residents moved out of their homes in whaley bridge near the top brick reservoir on thursday. they were warr

tech companies like google and amazon well president trumps very angry about that he's already threatening to retaliate and he suggested he might put higher taxes on french wine going into the u.s. well in the last hour we've had a response to that from the president of the european council donald tusk and it was a tough response. i will not direct french wine. gentlemen that emanation for many reasons. and do you stand by france if the u.s. impose a star if. you will respond in kind the law think we need and we want this confrontation especially with our best ally the united states but of course. this is not our initiative this is trade and tariff struggle but we have to be ready also for this but scenario and we are ready james anything else of note from donald tusk and that sort of opening address which he gave. yeah he spoke on a number of other issues i think probably most notable was the situation in the amazon which has been added to the agenda by president michel who's so concerned donald tusk also said he was concerned but said he's seen a position change and president both scenar

camilla veras mota, bbc news, in the amazon. welladers have described the fires as an acute emergency, and today thousands of people joined protests outside brazilian embassies across europe, demanding that president bolsonaro take immediate action to deal with the fires. 0ur diplomatic correspondent james robbins has been looking at the impact that brazil's leader has had on the rainforest, and he's here now. the amazon rainforest is huge. not only in sheer geographical size but also in its importance sustaining life on earth. it covers about 2.1 million square miles — that's about half the size of europe. it is home to three million species of plants and animals and has billions of trees which absorb c02 and slow global warming. but it's under severe threat — on average, an area the size of a football pitch is cleared every minute. brazil's president bolsonaro is blamed for actively encouraging the rainforest‘s destruction — why? president bolsonaro won last year's election partly by promising radical change in the amazon. 0pening

." ♪ >> how has the retail industry changed during this rise of amazon? >> wellu have this great white shark that's kind of looming offshore. >> great white shark? >> this thing does and can eat everything. >> despite holding only a small fraction of global retail sales, today amazon takes claim for nearly 50 cents of every dollar spent in online e-commerce in the united states, an astounding market dominance. you've called what jeff bezos has built a miracle. >> miracle. it's one of the -- maybe the greatest before it gets all through. >> legendary investor warren buffett called himself an it yac idiot for not investing in amazon earlier. warren buffett told me just a few weeks ago, the rise of amazon in his view is a miracle. is it a miracle? >> it's a business miracle. you wouldn't thought that almost a trillion dollar company would be formed in 25 years, that it would disrupt so many different things and create so many different things and it's still a growing machine. so, yeah, it's a business miracle. >> miracle seems like it's an act of god and amazon has

and the south american block if brazil doesn't address what's happening in the amazon. well external pressure is about the only force that will bring this about i mean external pressure not only on him bowl sonora but external pressure on the brazilian economy threats etc seem to be the only thing he is going to respond to. he and his foreign minister believe that climate change is a myth a myth perpetuated by communism and socialism and he's not too interested in that but the fact is that when france and the european union threaten free trade agreement with brazil and others south american countries that he steps up and listens when. president trump actually offered his assistance to help put out the fires. president trump isn't a great fan of environmental protection either. but i think what's made clear internationally that bolton are as position least with regard to the fires was totally irresponsible in. sort of not sort of very conducive to other items on his agenda which are trade neck anomic development very importantly the 2nd we thank you very much for your time an

amazon? is global warming burning up the nation's lungs? the world's lungs? >> welle globe is greener than it's ever been in the satellite era pit that was announced by nasa. as far as the amazon, well, nasa isn't exactly an agreement with me on global warming. they believe that humans are causing it. i believe that humans are causing a very slightly but that's another story for another time. the amazon has had above normal rainfall this year. that's the first thing great second thing, very interesting to us, the water is cooling all through the southern hemisphere. it's much cooler than what it was two in three years ago. that has implications. and in south america the last three or four weeks, and as a matter of fact for the last 90 days, has been clear the number. i will tell you what this is. this is weaponization of the weather and now -- i wrote about in my book. it every single event that shows out there going to say look at this, look at us, the average person doesn't know what happened 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago. what about -- we love looking at the pass becau

scale, how what you have seen compares to what you are about to be attacking down there in the amazon? >> wellghting done in the united states. i retired from cal fire in our air operations program there. i have seen my share of fire in the united states, specifically mostly in california. i can compare it to those fires. these also are wind driven fires. they're in lots of different fuel types. they're in grass. they're in brush. they're in timber. when you put it like that and you see the amount of resources in the united states that we are able to deploy versus the resources that are able to be deployed here in a region that's not used to this kind of disaster, it's overwhelming for everyone. >> at the end of the day, these are massive fires, obviously. you guys have sent one plane. what kind of impact can you have? >> well, they are massive and numerous. the impact for us really is at the point to where we can interact with the firefighters that are deployed on the ground. that's where we are most effective to where we can work with those firefighters. we can knock the fire down and they c

the one for instance in the ground what's not happening ok well the accusations are flying but i think most people would agree that the amazon is important it is the largest rain forest in the world put this into perspective for us how crucial is this ecosystem not only for the region for brazil but also for the global climate. well the animal is very important in these crucial for brazil and the rule for brazil most of the right info that goes to some politics of the main c.d.'s so that gives water of course even to drink that gives water from ricco which are part of it gives water for our eagles from come from the amazon as we've all to the forests we don't have rainfall here we know i have rain falling in argentina we don't have ring falls most of south america for the world i'm a zone it's a carbon seat it's very important so you through the forest of the amazon so if we have just in the amazon maybe one big gate off all. of a greenhouse gases in there will and gallants very close to it sticking points so if we need forest more 5 percent of the amazon so it's going you know wait but it's going to be more a dry eye and it

keep an eye on in the future another worse in brazil than in all the countries that are part of amazon well personal has you know around 60 percent of the amazon basin so i think that's why you know the focus has been there we are also seeing fires in the south of bolivia and in southern peru as well what about the if offer of help promote the g 7 brazil's president now saying that he doesn't it won't accept it how much difference would it make if he did. yeah i mean i think it's great that the international community is interested in talking about this topic for me what i would really like to see is not just a focus you know about this one crisis in brazil but a recognition that forests are important for the climate we know that tropical deforestation accounts for around 8 percent of human caused carbon emissions and can be a big part of the solution as well but they only get around or even less than 3 percent of climate change financing so i'd really like to see a bigger discussion about this and i understand that in the past you worked on know looking into the effectiveness of conservati

amazon book stores even sell books offline amazon also owns the world's largest organic market chain as well as its own fleece but their craft. amazon already sells insurance and medication operates publishing houses and fashion my bills payment systems and cloud services and produces its own films and television programs it penetrates areas of our lives and collects data in the process everywhere. it's my jeff bezos the richest man in the world reportedly earning $100000000.00 a day as a hobby he has his own newspaper the washington post. his company blue origin is aiming to launch 2 wrists into space. he's built a huge mechanical clock inside a mountain that's time to run for 10000 years but what does the future really look like with amazon the city of seattle on the west coast of the u.s. has already had a little taste. but image of ourselves on the city of the city also i'm also a member of socialist at the end of. shift base was made seattle his h.q. for a reason he hardly has to pay any taxes here. on the one hand seattle is booming and you can see this right in front of you the cigar

brazil's president also narrow promised time and again to open up the amazon to industry well thirty's now want to ascertain why so many fires are currently raging. representatives from more than 180 countries have been meeting in geneva to discuss how to protect endangered species they've been working to draw up rules on limiting the trade of animals and plants that are at risk of extinction. they may be really adorable they need cheeky little creatures are endangered conservationists oughta numbers are declining and the species could one day be extinct one of the main culprits social media images such as these that generate a demand for offices as pits. and acceptability of having a pet when someone creates a false narrative on their instagram accounts about how great it is to have a pet by showing cute. cute photos. glamorizing what is one fact it's the animal suffering animals you might not even imagine could be endangered in fact giraffes for instance particularly in parts of waste central and east africa they threatened by habitat long drought and the tried in body pots for the 1

pollute law enforcement in the ground what's not happening ok well the accusations are flying but i think most people would agree that the amazon is important it is the largest rain forest in the world put this into perspective for us how crucial is this system not only for the region for brazil but also for the global climate. well the animal is very important it's crucial for brazil and the rule for brazil most of the rainfall that goes to some politics of the main c.d.'s so that gives water quality people to drink that gives a broader former coach or more of it needs water for our egos free to come from the amazon that's evolved the forest we don't have room for here we go i have run for an event in argentina we don't have rings all the most of south america for the world i'm alone it's a carbon sea it's very important so you through the forests of the amazon so we have just in the amazon maybe one the gate of all ruble emissions of greenhouse gases in the room and gallons very close to each dipping point so if we have the forest more 5 percent of young muslim so it's going you know way it's going to be more dry and it's goi

this is a side of amazon really no one has seen before. >> well, cnn anchor poppy harlow is here withf the cnn special report. what'd you get, poppy? >> the last six months of my life between the show. we all know amazon very well we think buts we actually don't. this is company that has a reach into so many parts of our life, our government, our economy, and a big part of that is because of the cloud, right? the government has a big contract up with amazon that they're bidding for with the department of defense. this is all about the cloud or amazon web services. so we spent a lot of time with amazon executives and regulators. and one of the executives we spoke with is andy jassieb known by many as one of the most powerful men in the cloud. here's the clip. >> in the beginning a lot of companies would say nobody was going to use it for anything interesting. when the value proposition is that good for consumers you can howl at the wind all you want but you can't fight gravity. >> reporter: 13 years later the cloud is now a $70 billion industry. and while familiar competitors have emer

side and china in the other and of course we know the american corporations very well in terms of kugel facebook amazon maybe we don't know the chinese corporations very well because their reach is just beginning to expand. beyond china so far trying out has been kind of like an internal colony but we are starting to see how attorneys corporations how the infrastructure developed in trying out is starting to expand to different parts of the world including asia and africa. to china's biggest private company well way technologies africa has been a coal miner so it's countries like south africa nigeria kenya which is where now had delivered some of the biggest most rapidly growing tell it. has studied the while way effect here in kenya they're building products for example that are suited to the african market the cheapest mobile phone that you can get in various african markets it's a chinese phone so you will not go home but if you looked on multiple people to the site and they are building relationships with governments they are providing infrastructure so while we has provided a lot of infrastructure

emily: as someone who worked at the ftc, how concerning is the amazon issue in your mind? wellrtainly wants to make sure competition is happening fairly on the amazon platform, so small retailers ought to be able to compete and not worry that amazon is going to anti-competitively interfere with them. i think that's the kind of thing the week ob looking for. ftc will be looking for. emily: plea former chief security officer at facebook had a pretty striking tweet -- the former chief security officer at facebook. he said he could not believe facebook did not pay more for this. >> he means that basically, this is a valuable asset that facebook is no longer allowed to share, so it's good for facebook to have this rule in place. the facebook of five or seven years ago, the one that resulted in cambridge analytica, that is no longer how facebook works today. in his current world, facebook third-partynts the apps or quizzes. it wants to keep what it has built mostly for itself. emily: you just came out with a fascinating piece yesterday about how facebook contractors are listening to

people go out and buy, you look at stocks like walmart, like mcdonald's, those are doing very well, amazon is doing very well despite. if you think we are an economic slow down, those defensive, high-quality growth names still are doing very well. >> once we get that trade deal with china, then you are going to see the manufacturing. those countries do better. i think the market has underestimated the impact that a trade deal will have ended the likelihood of it happening. if i'm right and we get this trade deal in the next four months, you're going to see dell for 30,000 then you're going to see a big explosion and growth. >> i wouldn't be surprised if we went back to the all-time high. steve, heather, thank you both very much. suicide or something else? meet the forensic of spirit who calls the new report on jeffrey epstein's autopsy reports very troubling. find out why. and we switched to geico; saved money on our boat insurance. how could it get any better than this? dad, i just caught a goldfish! there's no goldfish in this lake. whoa! it's pure gold. we're gonna be rich... we're gonn

why are we s seeing so manyny wildfifires in t the amazon rigt now? >> well it is very clear, the wildfire is a way toto clear la. in brazil it is skykycketing sincee bolsonaro took office the last 12 months we saw an increase o of 35% deforestation rates, and in wildfireses, increase of 145%. what is happening in the amazon right now is that farmers in rangers are answering bolsonaro's pitch against environmental law and ngos and the brazilian environmental law. sumi: ok, that is not what he says is happening. president bolsonaro has his own theory. he is accusing ngo's of setting the fires in -- themselves to make him look bad. is therere anything toto thahat raul: well, i it's a totally ridiculous accusation, of course. he knonows perfectly well who is putting the fires in the force right now. the land grabbers are criminals inside the forest that are trying to go against the brazilian law. it looks like he doesn't want to go after them. it is simple to accuse ngos than to do his job, which i is the bt law enforcement on the ground. that's not happening. s

side and china in the other and of course we know the american corporations very well in terms of google facebook amazon me we don't know the chinese corporations very well because their reach is just beginning to expand. beyond china so far china has been kind of like an internal colony but we are starting to see how attorneys corporations how the infrastructure developed in trying out is starting to expand into different parts of the world including asia and africa. the china's biggest private company well way technology africa has been a goldmine of so it's countries like south africa nigeria kenya which is where now had to live in some of the biggest most rapidly growing telecom. has studied the wild way of hearing. they're building products for example that are suited to the african market the cheapest mobile phone that you can get in various african markets it's a chinese phone so you will duck for almost like the tone months of both in the summer and they are building relationships with governments they are providing infrastructure so while we has provided a lot of infrastructure for. surveillanc

in the state of mato grosso on the southern brazilian boundary of the amazon what have you been seeing there. well where we are right now we know the story of some of the little one of the most respected states by fire by our own 30000 buyers in this space that is affecting mostly remote locations not quite here in the city but we're told that 345 hours away from here there's already fires in those areas the government has announced that they're going to be using the armed forces to fight this fires around the hundreds of thousands of them people here are telling us they still have not seen anything as whole as we also heard from the governors of at least 6 states that have been affected by the fires they're asking for an urgent meeting with the press and they say that they need help the police to fight the fires but in order to cope with what is coming next and let me tell you where we are right now this place 30 years ago used to be filled with trees and biodiversity that has obviously obviously changed this is now a city but over the past decade brazil has pulled him place a series of controls

flipkart is doing pretty well. amazon prime is taking off. don't release numbers, but they say membership is doubling. look, they are probably both doing well because this is a rapidly expanding market. it is a country of 1.3 billion people, rising middle class, internet penetration going up, so it is kind of a rising tide lifting all boats. emily: walmart offering a service with free streaming. bollywood in india is huge. talk about that strategy. brad: amazon has shown that prime video brings people into the amazon ecosystem and gets them ordering. walmart cannot necessarily do that in the u.s., where you have so many players spending a lot of money, but the india streaming market is a little less developed. they are taking a different approach. it is free, just, i believe, in flipkart's mobile app. you've got to go discover it in a drop-down menu. but flipkart thinks this is a good way to cement loyalty of its users. and, particularly, those second and third tier cities or maybe the wealthier urban customer already has a prime or netflix s

think if europe is really interested in doing anything for the amazon they need to support the indigenous people who are already very well coordinated in south america and who are trying to already protect the amazons and to we need to use that we need we have signed it trade and we need to block the trade deal unless we see efforts to implement the pirates agreement i stipulated in the trade agreement. thank you so very much for coming in today. was mentioned president tomorrow mccraw wants to put the amazon fires at the top of the agenda of the g. 7 summit that starts tomorrow directs mccoll will be hosting talks by the leaders of major economies on a wide range of topics from tensions are run to protests in hong kong and the bleak outlook for the world economy. but the main theme of this year's meeting is the fight against inequality in all its forms there's war. in developed nations the gap between the rich and the poor has reached its highest level in the past 50 years the average income of the richest 10 percent of the population is now about 9 times that of the poorest 10 percent. and. the anger of those that feel
