significant deposits of oil and gas as well as rare earths there are also precious metals such as you raney i'm gold and platinum and. a chinese firm is now the largest shareholder in a mining company in charge of a clan a failed rare earths project. mining activities can further contribute to environmental degradation in addition to the effects of advancing ice melt still many of the 60000 greenlanders welcome the new economic opportunities and the government. also. these 2 geologists have created maps showing deposits of valuable resources on ellis mayer island it'll be hard to enforce environmental protection there and mining operations won't be easy either. we have to consider the poor energy supply difficult transport routes very little infrastructure and a scarcity of skilled personnel in the region but these deposits will become more lucrative as the ice melts and transportation becomes cheaper and equipment can be ships the year round. done by. scientists predict that the arctic ocean could be entirely free of ice in the summer by 2050 or even sooner even before that happens the nor

on wednesday morning i have instructed the united states navy to shoot down and destroy any and all raney and gun boats if they harass our ships at sea and so donald trump like past presidents before him when confronted with major epic problems at home does whatever a good us president has done for the past 50 years aimed to start a war abroad joining us today to discuss this latest way the dogs of war and us foreign policy is author and radio show host a former cia officer and whistleblower john kiriakou thank you. happy to do it tyrone thanks for having me so jon we are facing a scenario in the persian gulf war against iran is a real possibility taking taking place during this pandemic or is this kind of the way of the dog scenario of just trying to bang the drums a war to distract from the crisis of the home. i think the latter probably and what it reminds me of is the bill clinton administration when bill clinton were the bombing of the shifa a pharmaceutical plant in sudan ostensibly as retribution against al qaeda for an attack but it just so happened to come on exactly the same day

for more i'm joined by the reporter chilled out right ok chill so the obvious process raney just about corona virus so is there more to this here or there attracting a very mixed crowd of discontent people some worried about their jobs and their businesses but among the signs you see be you wave at the demonstrations you see the far right are diverse do you see religious groups you see conspiracy theorists some a likening these type of process through the tea party movement which is the anti establishment movement that preceded donald trump selections and donald trump himself has been quite supportive of these demonstrations he's been tweeting out his support mostly because they are aimed at democratic state governors who are his enemies and who are the ones actually implementing these lockdown measures. so he's been tweeting out comments like liberate the states that where this is happening so as we can see at these demonstrations some people. but many are not and they're certainly not keeping their distance and that's led some to speculate that these protests could be the source of a
