The media were quick to find targets such as the kings of morocco in saudi arabia the president of argentina several prime ministers. And russian president Vladimir Putin of course. That tied so i have sued so many newspapers for defamation some things dont just happen by chance it was very striking there were no more american special.

But. Yesterday we reported on walmarts announcement of a wage increase in response to a tightening job market but talk about trying to spin the news not so fast after the wage increase announcement walmart then announced in a company wide email the closure of sixty three sams club stores sams club of course is walmart wholesale outlet many employees arrived at work to find a lot. Doors and up posted notice while others receive letters via fed ex some sams Club Shoppers arrive to find crying employees happy new year walmart says each sams Club Location employs about one hundred seventy five workers suggesting that over eleven hundred eleven thousand workers rather have lost their jobs three of the close stores are in puerto rico where many still lack electricity after Hurricane Maria its possible that ten to twelve Online Fulfillment Centers will take up the slack from the abandoned locations walmart is the nations largest private employer with over one million workers and roughly six hundred thousand locations even after the closures. Facebook is thinking of changing the formula for what comes up in your feed the company says they are considering using polls about which news outlets people trust and how facebook is would be willing to pay for their content to shift the formulas that determine what you see toward what they deem more trustworthy content and away from socalled fake news viral content and that horrible click bait facebook also says they pay may promote more posts from friends and family of users over new posts in order to generate more conversation and interaction content creators worry that such a shift could reduce traffic to their sites that are generated by facebook clicks last November Facebook announced it would hire ten thousand contract workers to review post after criticism of alleged failures to police news and political content. Well as President Donald Trump continues to say his administration will remain tough on trade canada isnt taking a backseat and is taking the u. S. To the World Trade Organization to arbitrate matters many times and trade disputes with negotiations between canada the u. S. It involves lumber and this one does but it may mean much more from toronto alex mchale of it helps us get to the bottom of it all alex. You know this is one of those situations where a candidate just thrown in a nother Monkey Wrench into trade negotiations with the United States so we know that nafta goshi actions have not been going too well and its a lot has to do with President Trump saying are you going to pull out of nafta hes going to pull out of nothing pleasant to have to hear it over and over again so of course everybody around mexico and canada glued it are panicking every time they hear that so canada kind of a weird move has now gone to the World Trade Organization with a completely different dispute and as you mentioned lumber is a big part of this this lumber disputes been going on since the nine hundred eighty s. And deals with softwood lumber meaning lumber thats used to build homes or for paper cardboard and its just always been a back and forth for decades so this is really one of the big punches here also canada has a big problem with whats happened recently with the bombard jr airplane builder the spat its had with boeing we know that boeing basically coaxed the United States government to put a three hundred percent tariff on bombard products or a bombard a planes the specifically the c. Series and talking about that what does who does that hurt it hurts workers on both sides of the border so jobs would be lost on both sides actions like this continue but for canada right now its the World Trade Organization and the World Trade Organization the problem it has with the u. S. Is theyre saying that the u. S. Is popping a parents and thats against World Trade Organization rules so alex do you think that other is a around the planet starts saying other countries are saying. To the canadians for for this endeavor given sort of the stance of President Trump it is a ministration you know it seems like canada actually had that in mind its a thirty seven page document that theyre taken to the world trade or have taken ready to the World Trade Organization and its an open document that allows other countries to jump. On board against the us now some of the the big players here are going to be china south korea japan and germany all countries that have complained about the u. S. The way its done trade its not a definite attack against the whole America First idea people dont really have an issue other countries have an issue for a country trying to protect itself but once theyre not playing fair and a country does not play fair in the World Community thats when issues come around and this is what canada is banking on thats why theyve opened up this agreement to other countries to join in and theyre all going to be like a bunch of little attack dogs on the big old usa how long did these agreements generally these disputes rather alex generally take to go through the w t o process i mean i assume its many months if not years right. Well actually what were hearing about this agreement its over this i should say disputed stuff it should take about a year to go through the process but lets see how it actually works out with nafta talks still progress and we know that there theres a meeting in montreal in a couple of weeks so when you look at that you know canada yeah sure theyve pulled out this gun but its not something that they might not put back in their their holster for later use if nafta talks go in the direction that canada want to see were trying to play tough guy were not really a tough guy thats a big problem with canada i got a quote here for me from our International Trade minister basically breaks down exactly the way canada is viewing this thats a tax so hes the trade minister whose name is francoise if you leave some power and he says i think the american colleagues understand what you stand strong and sending a message that said what we will stand up for the Forestry Industry will stand up for Aerospace Industry will stand up for Canadian Workers well people see you that your firm so thats when you get respect i dont know about that you know like if youre a little kid in a playground and somebody tells you go stand up against a bully thats been bowling everybody well you just might get punched in the face and thats what canadas not looking at really were not a tough guy weve never been a tough guy and we shouldnt be playing tough guys that actually when negotiating teams are at this point with Something Like nafta well you do have to stand up to bullies once in a while and just and life like it or not you cant always turn the other cheek so im pleased to see people trying to get these things disputed and alex were going to come back to you when we get to that meeting in montreal in a couple of weeks r. T. Correspondent alex mahela bitch thanks as always have a great weekend you too thank you. The Consumer Electronics show is taking place in las vegas to some new and cool things there and our tease holland cook from the big picture is there hey holland weve talked a lot of times about Driverless Cars and some of that technology you seeing any of that out there in vegas. Sounds futuristic doesnt it but were told that ford b. M. W. G. M. Nissan v. W. And valvo say that their robo cars are going to be on the road in three years tesla says even sooner you probably wont be able to buy one until twenty twenty five and it wont be cheap but the first Driverless Cars were going to see are taxis operated by labor and lift and this is going to be huge for the Trucking Industry where theyre already testing platoons where the driver of the lead truck will also be managing unbanned trucks in the many convoy so this is a really big deal here and i have seen the driverless car its very cool the seats face each other like two sofas theyll have to bring back that that song some our viewers may not recall a member that old convoy song holland we got out on the boy but only be one person in a bunch of driverless vehicles well some of the other technology is being used that they Auto Technology already is it what sorts of things are out there right now. Yet what the driverless car is really going to do is connect a bunch of preexisting functions you might already have in your car you probably have Cruise Control you probably have g. P. S. Get them to handshake and the car will take you somewhere if youre driving a fairly new car you may be able to take your hands off the wheel and watch it Parallel Park so a lot of this has been evolutionary rather than revolutionary the cars are going to talk to each other and theres already a buzzword v two v vehicle to vehicle Data Transfer where the cars are feeding and reading the cloud and heres another buzzword can you picture hyper lanes they would be dedicated highway lanes where cars drive north of one hundred miles an hour very close to each other safer than if humans were driving them and this futuristic as that sounds that too is evolutionary because for the last dozen years john deere has been manufacturing robo tractors so this is just around the corner but im keeping my two thousand and five s u v in the meantime hey i know youve got a v. W. To soad youre really Old School Old school. We this is really going to be a big deal for insurers too with Driverless Cars theyre going to have a field day so here boom bust were going to keep an eye on all of this cars insurance and anything thats related to business and finance in that sector hauling cook coast of the big picture at r.

Central Bankers Trust me theres a lender of last resort to provide liquidity case theres a credit freeze the fact that you have such a banks becoming the buyer of first order and that theyre printing money to buy stocks is a complete inversion of what their role is supposed to be in the economy and they become a giant hedge fund.

To going to be press this is what will befall me in the morning cant be good. Im interested always in the was a. Question.

Some of those paintings are linked to dark secrets nobody knows how many of these secrets a kept inside the Geneva Freeport system youll never obtain an inventory of all the works in the freeport who knows how many there are three hundred three thousand three hundred thousand is it a matter of confidentiality only is it the worlds black box of the art business. I had a great education a good job and a family that loved me. I never had to worry about how i would eat and where i would sleep. But im facing christmas alone out on the streets of london.

New yorks Police Shooting and sues the force commissioner and the city mayor claiming body cam video has been released for political gain. This is Art International good afternoon for me kevin owen here in moscow its just have five in the afternoon thanks choosing us for this latest thirty minute update starting with this that donald trump in the headlines again hes agreed now today to extend sanctions relief for a ran but says it is the last time hell do so in one hundred twenty days from now the u. S. President will again have to decide whether to continue or to hold off on imposing sanctions as required by the pact trump is insisting on rivonia revisions to this hard fought agreement it took years to hammer it out or he says america will indeed walk away. In two thousand and fifteen the Obama Administration foolishly traded away strong multilateral sanctions to get his weak nuclear deal despite my strong inclination i have not yet withdrawn the United States from the Iran Nuclear Deal instead i have outlined two possible paths forward either fix the deal with disastrous flaws or the United States will withdraw even though trump has repeatedly vowed to tear up the iran deal he has decided to keep the deal intact extending sanctions relief but also warning that this will be the last time until the deal is strengthened a bit sanctions will be added on iranian entities for their alleged support of terrorist groups now this comes after his National Security advisers and other signatories have all urged him to comply with the agreement and the e. U. Has been urging washington to stick to it for months and just yesterday top you diplomats met with the Iranian Foreign minister in brussels to reaffirm their support for the deal breaking value of the trade c. P. O. Way the new deal we erode the deal is working we want to. Protect just a few way. Why it should pay for this deal is crucial for the security of the region but also for the security of the well the agreement was signed in two thousand and fifty and it was hailed as a breakthrough in u. S. Iran relations as it ended International Concern over Irans Nuclear program and its often described as obamas signature Foreign Policy achievement but trump has always accused the country of violating the quote spirit of the deal now at the last deadline trying to waive sanctions but decertified irans compliance with the deal which is completely unrelated to all of this a its not part of the deal and b. Irans Ballistic Missiles already been capable of carrying Nuclear Warheads now well just have to wait and see if congress and u. S. Allies will agree to trumps demands sirrah com the Iranian Foreign minister hows it back to donald trump for making the ultimatum saying the u. S. Should stop jeopardizing the. Trumps policy and todays announcement amounts are desperate attempts to undermine a solid multilateral agreement j c p a is not renegotiate rather than repeating tired rhetoric the us must bring itself into full compliance just like iran a number of american officials awaited to on the issue for a start the Us Ambassador to the u. N. Saying washington is looking to take further action against iran in particular in relation to its missile activities she went on to say to run can be targeted for punitive measures outside that framework of the nuclear deal one former advisor to runs Nuclear Negotiation team told us that trump has no real reason to pull the plug on the pact oh this is the president that makes it hard decisions and you have to go one day at a time and dont place too much. In his all to meet on today because this deal syrias most is national interest. Defense secretary mattis and tillerson anothers only affair from this very smoothly and the it is just a couple days ago that this is working. Through nine reinforce has confirmed that iran has fully fulfill its of litigation so there is really no rationale or justification for trying to go against it. And really you know land a big stop on the u. S. Is quote debility international scene. Or the u. S. Tries to suppress rands Nuclear Industry then seems the pentagon has reportedly been busy working on a major revamp of its own atomic weapons the plans were due for release of february but theyve been linked to the media is the come out early the first of its kind in eight years the Nuclear Posture review outlines extensive plans to upgrade and replace some of the dated arsenal it also aims at developing smaller nukes socalled low yield weapons thats a move that opponents say will make nuclear war more likely the plan also wants funding doubled over the next decade and the document lists russia china and north korea as threats which it said needed to be counted the federation of american scientists told us the u. S. Already has well over a thousand low yield Nuclear Warheads but in fact they are as powerful as the bombs dropped on japan during World War Two the proposed expansion is in contrast and the President Trumps earlier pledge to try to seek global denuclearization. Number one i would like to do you know the world i would like russia and the United States and china and pakistan and many other countries that have Nuclear Weapons to get rid of the pentagon says it wont comment on the preliminary version of the document we did hear from robert nyman though hes from the just Foreign PolicyCampaign Group he told us that more usable weapons are unlikely to strengthen washingtons powers of deterrence nobody really thinks that any sane person is going to use Nuclear Weapons in a strategic competition to the point of having a few if there is any or it all is you know so that the other person will be deterred supposedly using your nuclear or their Nuclear Weapons because then you might use yours how doing all Nuclear Weapons doesnt change the pentagon contractors are going to make money of losing the war weapons so theyll create parochial interests there are pushing these things there are now something that is not in the interest of the world is not only interested in the jury. Today the Washington Post bureau chief in beirut has been facing a volley of criticism after posting a tweet praising the bravery of a journalist from free syrian t. V. It was quickly revealed though the reporter in question has got links to extremist groups are corresponding it goes down off reports more Everybody Needs a hero even beacons of independent journalism like the Washington Post and what better candidate than a man doing his job despite the constant threat of bombs. This syrian journalist standing in the open field well bombs explode all around him is very lucky to be alive now flood jacket or helmet you can barely hear the explosions he and his colleagues are very brave a professional for all of us journalists to look up to right wrong this book may have a pretty cover but its the gripping content thats of most interest this man in the video is to hear our model and possibly the best way to understand them is this tweet Shiite Militia turned into minced meat sixty People Killed in an eyesore Suicide Attack some respect for the dead maybe no now im satisfied he writes the different mission of bloodlust if you ask me in this picture is all smiles and handshakes with the saudi cleric a jihadi role model here. Sydney is sitting down against the backdrop of terrorist flags heres the one of i saw and heres nonstress as he worked as a mediator trying to reconcile the groups back in twenty fourteen he set up and ran a Training Camp for child soldiers in syria and has reportedly made repeated calls for sectarian genocide no wonder hes on the u. S. Security blacklist my city is far from the only terrorist has rubbed shoulders with. Bed that night at this hour now bit of that. The group is embedded within this video. Is internationally designated as terrorist born as a branch of an al qaeda affiliate later they swapped sides figuring i still flavored terrorism was more to their liking when i reached out to the Washington Posts Beirut Bureau chief about her tweet she disputed the fact that she ever gave praise to the man or his socalled journalism. I dispute that i gave praise to the journalist or his journalist i pointed out that standing up in a field and continuing to talk while explosions i do know from all around you is brave she still admires his bravery though the Mainstream Media has a history of becoming in chanted by jihadi affiliated want to be reporters take Bilal Abdulla karim the story teller when it came to the battle for aleppo people executed its as simple as that what can i do here in syria blend in the crowd i dont think so am i going to turn my so over to the Regime Forces absolutely not so what that hes giving a platform to a suicide bomber right at least hes taking all the right boxes they say you have to protect human rights. They support the terrorism so how on earth. Of course this human rights supporter is of thats thats the bottom line of what they are hippocratic they have double standards. If this happens in the u. S. Mainland would they accept terrorists to be available terrorist organizations. To say
