All a question of sovereignty you have states People United states from germany italy or sovereign states who is sovereign currencies. Youre all and so on and just sticking to some very strong commitments some very strong borders we cannot accept to have the new currency having exactly the same kind of poor without the same kind of war without disinclined of commitments and without the same kind of obligations and there is also a concern about Money Laundering there is a concern about the funding of terrorism we have spain for many years before address things and being able to fix that issue of Money Laundering and of funding of tourism. On tuesday u. S. Senators questioned the facebook representative over the proposed currency david marcus told the Senate Banking committee the company would not control libra but one senator said facebook is delusional to think people would trust it with their money facebook is burned down the house over and over in every arson a learning experience look at facebooks record wed be crazy to give them a chance to experiment with peoples Bank Accounts to use powerful tools they dont understand like Monetary Policy to jeopardize her working americans ability to provide for their family. And take a closer look at libor then its a Digital Currency being developed by facebook which would allow users to buy products and transfer money from nearly no feeds Facebook Says it would not fully control the currency but of just one vote in the libor association which includes other Companies Like visa and.

Well i think overlooking with river a is a more likely adoption of the platform with Something Like that point because you know its completely decentralized moves very difficult to use when you have libra one of the things that facebook is trying to implement with this is usability so in all likelihood at the launches that would be tied into things like whats out Facebook Messenger another platform like ebay as well as credit card so the usability and they are not the adoption of uber as a cryptocurrency or as a matter of changing money moving value you much higher than decline well i think for governments and the reason that theyre so concerned about that is theres obvious laundering in k. Y. See concerns around that as as one of the officials mentioned before hes been one of the work done globally to combat Terrorism Financing and other enlisted money flows tax evasion etc so there is a big concern about how the platform is going to handle that because facebook was very short on the details on that side as well traditional payment processors and banks could be a little bit scared of whats happening here because it offers a completely separate channel from the traditional channels that we know for making payments around the world which would issue the traditional Banking Network so banks as well are concerned about where this is going.

To the last drop on aljazeera. Breaking news out of Northern Iraq where the Turkish Deputy consul general and at least one other person of being shot then. Im sam is a damn this is al jazeera live from also coming up after a long political standoff the military and the civilian coalition in sudan signed a deal for a transitional government. An emergency meeting is held by the World Health Organization to discuss and about al break in the democratic republic of congo. Former drug lord said to be sentenced any moment now in the u. S. Now we begin with a developing story out of Northern Iraq in the city of an appeal to the Turkish Deputy consul general were told has been shot dead at least one other person has been reportedly killed these are the latest pictures from the scene in the suburb of appeal the incident happened just after 2 pm local time inside a restaurant called how come bars thats where the turkish diplomat was dining scene of course or lou is standing by for us in istanbul with reaction out of turkey but 1st lets cross over to baghdad and get the latest from osama bin. What more details are emerging on this. So i mean the last few minutes weve heard from intelligence sources who confirm that it was. 2 salience who came into this restaurant restaurant in an upscale neighborhood where the turkish diplomat along with 2 of his colleagues was having lunch and they shot him at close range earlier there were reports that there were 3 people who were killed but now we know that one of those people is injured and not been killed so as you said the Turkish Deputy consul general as well as one employee off the consulate inside has been. Has been killed and one other person has been injured there it is. Reports from the scene that it is that theres been some arguments between media personnel as well as the Security Forces there because theyre trying to cordon off all of that area but they are being very tight lipped about any information about these assailants or what could have been the motive behind the attack being told by the Iraqi Foreign ministry that theres been an all out condemnation thats been sent to turkey and there has been a statement from the security establishment inside the kurdish region of Northern Iraq as well trying to tell diplomats as well as foreign there is inside the kurdish region that it is doing all it can for the safety of the people who are in this area it is worth noting that this is a very unique incident in recent history that we have not seen people being assassinated or being killed at close range being targeted by assailants the previous times where there was unrest and diplomats and others were killed it was perhaps during the initial stages stages of the war 1518 years ago but this is a very unique incident and it has taken the kurdish Security Forces by surprise they say that theyre doing all they can and an investigation has been launched and theyll be working closely with partners who are present inside the kurdish region to try and figure out who cared who carried out this attack. Also worth noting is the denial that has been carried by iraqi state media from. The party which has been speculated to at least in turkish media to be behind the attack that they are saying that they did not carry out this attack and trying to distance themselves from this attack in which the consulate deputy consul general has been killed along with one person and another person has been injured from a zone of injury and in baghdad now lets cross over to see them cross all who joins us live from istanbul whats the word out of anger on this. Well samir ankaras reaction is of course hold the table we heard the Foreign Ministry delivering a statement that sat the investigation is underway and one turkish diplomat has been killed by the state of the assault turkish president trajectory brereton tweeted and he sent his condolences for the turkish diplomats and the other who got killed during this assault that turkeys and and back that are taking initiatives for further investigation also president ial spokesperson ibrahim colon. Sent his contacts condolences for the turkish diplomat and said the investigation is under way weve been hearing that at the legation from ancora will be heading to erbil and therefore. For having more watching the investigations closely in the field also we are hearing that the Iraqi Security officials are cooperating with the turkish one currently all as far as what we learned what we hear from the local sources are that are that all in all security measures have been taken and the 2 men who assaulted who did this assault left the restaurant from the from the back door and currently the turkish diplomats have been telling us that they are going through to camera pictures to identify those people and to see the details of the assault how it happened how the turkish diplomats was targeted but i must say that the turkish Foreign Ministry officials that we have contacted all Turkish Security officers are very upset right now because one of their colleagues was killed during this. During this deadly attack also it is important to see that this incident actually came at a time when Turkish Military has been conducting military operations inside the could decide on a region in the Kurdistan Regional government against kurdistan workers. Bartend they have been announcing that every day they are killing a few fighters they have been seizing their weapons and they longings and the kids that they have left and this is the 1st time that the Turkish Military has been very close to how cool it has being inside how quirk region aware close by the congo mountains where the picket camps were located and this is well this is interesting because it overlaps with the time that the that the relations between unclear and ever that has been strained over a referendum a couple of years ago has been amended and it real stablished all right thanks so much sin of course on in the stumble use of a lot of the International Security and political analysts he joins us now by skype from is mirrored in turkey good to have you with us from the sort of details which emerge so far is it possible to say who did this is hack you know when you take a look at. Who might be the. Trigger the trigger is the big cake a terrorist organization is where obvious because the Turkish Military is conducting very heavy military operations. In coordination with the Central Government by that but the same time in cong coordination of the code the star Regional Government so you know not to give arms attacks which is conducted by the Turkish Military operations probably the p. K. Care has conducted such kind of terrorist attacks the beach is not familiar with 18000000 people from the details that have emerged as well so far it looks like the deputy consul general was deliberately he was targeted they knew where he was. Why him in particular. Probably i can say that this is a pure Intelligence Services support for terrorist organization because the p. K. K. Was of a thing inside the restaurant be you pour the turkish diplomats and up to the restaurants they know land they will be there they know. How many people beat than they are eating in the rest of us so i can say that this is a very delicate a terrorist attack which has been important the is she side just beforehand right diplomats this is very important can questions because the Turkish Military operation which is going on inside iraq is together each quarter the nation is sound so gullible awful iraq and also the same time to disarm or agent Regional Government so they respond to this at that by they are you governments because turkey is come back in its military operation on the basis of what relations with the Central Government of busy iraq what do you think turkey is likely to do in response to this attack. Took him to likely to do that try to investigate cool triggered the trigger and the 2nd one who gave the order for such kind of terrorist attacks so after that turkey view probably be enhanced by than it is. P k k i am to be k. K. Operations inside it were out not only limit at bickley condom mantles probably in the next coming days i can assure you that the Turkish Military operation we also move forward to the scenes our area which is controlling the terrorist passages inside the northern part of the syria and not part of iraq so in order to control these area not to have in order to limit the terrorist passages and Logistic Support turkey probably will move forward and a little bit earlier to the scene gerri i can see. Thank you so much for your analysis on that.
