Added to silver to their tally that it was a medal that might never have been skeleton competitor nikita had considered boycotting the games in support of his fellow countrymen and over doping claims while the reduced team size has meant a lack of coaches at the competition meaning he had to prepare all the equipment himself even did the same for his teammate in other results today natalia won bronze in the speedskating its worth noting shes one of the younger competitors at just twenty three the same as the skeleton silver medalist from russia scare dennis spitz self also took place on the podium in his event that makes a total of eight medals for the olympic athletes from russia team. Now russian the meddling conspiracy theories have been dominating headlines in the u. S. For more than a year now but those pushing those theories the hard is the Mainstream Media and now also finding themselves accused of inadvertent involvement in the meddling jacking phooka explains. Mainstream media in the u. S. Has been shouting from the rooftops for over a year that russia interfered in the two thousand and sixteen us president ial election and one of moscows most dangerous tools is alleged to have been online trolls russia meddle in the twenty sixteen president ial election here in the United States russian interference went beyond the election russia was behind the election meddling if you thought the russians had stopped their active measures against the us they havent it is a genuine threat to our democracy but according to an Indepth Research project it looks as if those very outlets were the ones producing the news that was promoted by accounts claimed to have ties to the kremlin Columbia University social media researcher Jonathan Albright went through thousands of troll tweets and looked at the news sources that the accounts were linking to in the run up to the election and the results are interesting to say the least the result from this some prove tens of thousands of tweets is that the most news in the six months leading up to the election isnt your typical hyper partisan news sure broad first but its followed by a long list of what many would argue are credible if not mainstream news organizations number two on the list is the Washington Post who is also joined by the likes of the hill reuters the New York Times and irony of all ironies c. N. N. The idea that trolls were retreating real news not fake news as we were told before on hot topics in order to set the daily news agenda we have regional troll accounts consistently tweeting not only real but local news this pushes back against some of the more established narratives around hyper partisan media and fake news this headline from the Washington Post really says it all russia used Mainstream Media to manipulate American Voters except it doesnt quite explain how sharing a countrys own news articles can be seen as a sinister weapon used to change the outcome of an election. More than a year has passed since the libyan city of sirte was liberated from eisel the locals still live in constant fear the threat of jihad is returning to the area names launched while residents still see no sign of life returning to normal. I think. Thats i think its. Just this. Is a big mistake. These are everywhere around the food in the in the complex and it should be shown to me is full of completely out of the mashed into the ground. And its impressive even though its been destroyed. So you can see here is damage state flag has been drawn on the site this just. Into the minutemen in the area is completely destroyed and there is no local or International Assistance for the population there are fears that ice will return to this air youre again this could be entrenched in it after the one year war. People were displaced from this area even after they returned the couldnt find their homes because of the mast struction there is no house left intact especially because of the bald plains but almost everyone knows that by so much return and a moment to say subcircuits is and has been the center of a stronghold the city surrounded by mountains and valleys and noise its always been that. The president of the red cross has told r. T. That not enough International Attention is being paid to libya despite the number of devastating crises suffered by the country. Ive been in libya for the last three days and what you can see is that certain parts of the country are of course quieter today maybe one or two years ago in certain in other parts of libya fighting is continuing and therefore needs are enormous because of the disruption of basic social Services Health water sanitation and others impact on civilian population is important is heavy libya is one of those countries with the largest percentage of displaced populations and therefore the humanitarian needs are important more needs to be done to support the different thought it is in libya more of course has to be done also to find the political solution within libya so there is for me an unquestioned necessity to put libya much more in the center also of International Attention comparable to the attention the International Community has other crisis in the middle east and u. S. Attorney generals accused of racism for using the phrase Anglo American heritage we have the details after this break. The stakes couldnt be higher and its happening in syria the goal of destroying the Islamic State is largely complete now the syrian proxy war is in train a new stage for the players and one of their aims and what is winning. I took many flips over the years so i know the guy even so i got. The ball isnt only about what happens on the pitch for the fun of school its about the passion from the fans its the age of the super manager. And spending to the twenty million. Its an experience like nothing else really because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy great to transfer. Welcome back to the program the u. S. Attorney general is being accused of fueling racism on twitter. Jeff sessions praised the quote Anglo American heritage of Law Enforcement in the country his choice of words in a speech to a Sheriffs Association is being called insensitive at the very least the office of sheriff is a critical part of the i know American Heritage of Law Enforcement however others insist angloamerican is a normal way used to describe the country isnt legal system also known as the common law the Us Department of justice responded by saying the time reflect shed american english heritage. And former president barack obama has also referred to the Anglo American legal system in fact the term was widely used by other members of his administration as well but it seems no one took notice of that in washington sooner kong ages reaction to controversial comments made by u. S. Leaders and politicians. Im going to say donald trump. As sounds like something he would say is actually obama says. He actually correct. You find it offensive i dont know. I just thought it would be him. But i mean. I like president obama so im glad he said that. Why do you think that because he is offensive towards immigrants. Is actually really wow. Interesting but i wouldnt know because nobody who can do this with. My kids or our address each. Other first where she told. Me youre correct a. Bunch of them i didnt get no outrage so i guess its all about the messenger and not so much about the message. The french president has decided to close the press office the palace journalists have been there before but moved to a new site officially is for operational reasons although the speculation its a way to keep the media away from the president. Explain. This is been the base of frances president ial press school for decades but the doors are about to close and journalists tenure at the lease a callous president now call decided to break away with a press room inside music palace basically get away from the seat of power for no its sort of putting them somewhere remote they will have to offer appointments every time they want to speak to someone it is keeping them out at a distance and thats exactly what i meant when buffalo since his election last may mock consolation ship with the press has been strained hes cherry picked the journalists who can cover his trips outraging multiple media groups he refused to give the traditional bastille day News Conference as its claimed his thoughts too complex and has suggested that journalists are too interested in themselves some say this move is another way of controlling the press pressure media furious some debbie furious because there were some prove a point during the Electoral Campaign the president ial campaign so. They now realize that its not because you make friends with a politician im complaining that theyre going to treat you well afterwards. But while many in the french media are accusing the president of giving them the Cold Shoulder perhaps it shouldnt come as a surprise. To me if. Not maybe you should think. This is going up or put down but for one thing i need to see it only to me tell you off enough. To think that thats. Nothing. New to ninety minute channel me in the. To you tonight. As artie knows too well matt call has already barred some Media Outlets from the lease say emanuel mccord is emanuel micron organizes a briefing off camera just before his trip to cali he sent invitations to the media when i arrived there i discovered that i wasnt on the list of accredited media as they said im not a journalist and that i had to leave so what impact does that have on your ability to do your job. Emanuel markram wants to pass a law against fake news theyre refusing to accredit certain media you know the result blocks access to directly to the real Information Sources of information its not as if the president who once famously compared himself to jupiter the roman god is media shy he simply prefers to use social media platforms like this you tube page to make statements. Although it seems not many a watching and it means there are no awkward questions from journalists to answer afterwards a Government Spokesperson said moving the press corps was made for racial reasons and would give reporters the biggest space in which to work.

Heres a number of data point for area sixty five million if you caught our last broadcast you learned like i did from our guests size smith the c. E. O. Of cognition analytics that there are sixty five million cameras looking at us in the United States what a number and the most carriers looking at people around the world are in beijing china and in London England but today we ask who is making all the money from watching us as we continue to watch the watchers natashas sweet provide some answers from los angeles our image is no secret and the use of surveillance cameras is that all time high just to give you a perspective in one year alone one hundred six million new surveillance cameras are sold roughly two point five trillion images are shared or stored on the internet and its estimated by two thousand and twenty six point one billion picture taking phones in the u. S. Talk of more security for the border with mexico is a great example of being monitored through the use of security cameras in mexico itself has been on the forefront of utilizing closer to television as a means of security the infamous street revolution and want to fill it with restaurants and nightclubs is packed with cameras london Surveillance Network took off in the one nine. Ninetys after two bombings by the Irish Republican Army is in the citys financial district and across the globe there are reportedly three million surveillance cameras at a. T.

T. And whats going on with oil and gasoline prices. Since last june when oil was trading at the New York Mercantile Exchange nine x. At forty three dollars per barrel it has been on a steady rise reaching over sixty six dollars at the end of last month then prices took a terrible turn back down for those in the Energy Industry that is and some of what is going on is terribly tough to figure out so in an effort to figure out some of that were joined now by sean hyman he is the editor of the logical investor newsletter sean thank you so much for joining us can you shed any light on what you think is going on with oil prices these days. Yeah absolutely its good to be here with you you know basically oil has hit two extremes they hit one fifty and it hit the twentys and neither one of those are reality for long term sustainability and oil really producers need somewhere between sixty and one hundred dollars a barrel whether youre talking about u. S. Or mideast producers and so you know were seeing that you know trickle up into that region now and i believe well see that go from sixtys the seventys or so over this next year after all the fed is telling us that inflation is is in the mix and theyre having to raise Interest Rates and one of those big components of inflation of course is in fact oil. Let me ask you just real briefly ive got a lot to get to get to but youre a doubter so you could help me when you talk about sixty to one hundred dollars a barrel sean on how much producers need to make it is it is it is it more for the shell producers or less for those guys who is the most economically set right now with oil prices who produces at the cheapest price. So eagle ford area is probably the cheapest price but you know its and they can get profitable quicker the deep deep oil drillers of course of the ones that have the higher prices and struggle the most Ticker Symbol reg and some of those like that are the ones that will usually struggle the most one of the ones that i like a lot is a chinese Oil Producers the show is the Ticker Symbol there theyve got double digit profits and do well in even a little bit lower all environments. So that eagle ford for those who dont know what to watch follow well every day thats that area down and in texas near san antonio a little east of our west rather houston so sean the u. S. Is set to produce more oil more energy than ever and that has a some impact of course of reducing prices because theres so much supply out there thats at least the theoretical math but that how does that interact with the opec and russia production cuts that they announced the start and put in place last year so theyve had cuts in that that may continue opec basically saudi arabia and russia are talking about bumping those production levels up just a little bit but keep in mind they need some of the highest rank even points for oil to meet their budgets than just about anybody so you know saudi arabia really needs about a good eighty ninety dollars barrel brant crude and so they need oil to continue to head higher and also when you think about the saudi aramco i. P. O. Coming up the latter part of this year they need a high price of oil there to get squeezed a lemon to get the most out of that i. P. O. Price as well. Right absolutely where do you think thats going to end up that i. P. O. That additional Public Offering is going to go to be in saudi arabia is going to be a new york stock exchange. You know its a good question i mean theres been rumors of london the us saudi i would think it would have to be either n. Y. S. E. Or or london one of those two i think its great for them to you know to go public they need to diversify away you know completely is at least a segment away from oil but i dont think its all that great really for u. S. Investors and or foreigners outside of the mideast because really theres buying into something thats just a very small percentage of their Overall Company so i think its great for them i think its not so great for others. Your member that President Trump tweeted november urging the saudis to put the around co i. P. O. At n. Y. S. See well see if the deal maker in chief can can figure this one one out just last quick word what do you think about the changes in. Price the variables that are really being impact by other things that you alluded to earlier like the c. P. I. And Interest Rates or that those have an impact beyond supply and demand shawn yeah i think you know i mean obviously oil is the biggest component whether the fed wants to emitted or not you know they try to bring out you know food and energy but honestly its one of the biggest components that makes everything more expensive in our life and so as oil will continue to go and it will continue to trend higher its going to make everything that we buy in part just in life higher if for no other reason shipping costs so inflation will continue to increase continue to increase and rates will continue to increase absolutely you know short of time to the editor of the logical investor newsletter we thank you so much for coming on and sharing your energy and Oil Expertise thank you preceded it. Oh. Time now for quick break but hang here because when we return back by popular demand we have all go well my or the big switcheroo and as we go to break here are the specific numbers of the closing bell.
