And hong kong again in the grip of protests with anti beijing activists appealing to the west and those supporting china leaking the identities of the mass vandals. Youre watching are to International Coming to live from the russian capital where its just turned 3 pm welcome to the program. Top traders from americas largest bank j. P. Morgan chase have found themselves at the center of a Justice Department investigation theyre accused of manipulating the price of Precious Metals over the course of years are often looks at how they managed to stay under the authorities radar for so well. When it comes to wall street hollywood doesnt exactly sprinkle stardust while portraying bankers thanks to a greedy. We profit off their stupid if you want to bet against the banks that think were either high or having a stroke. Name and you move the money from your clients pocket and you can but if you can make clients money at the same time its advantageous to everyone correct. But it turns out that that Silver Screen image isnt that far from the truth 3 top executives at j. P. Morgan have found themselves in court the defendants are no those allegedly gauged in a massive multiyear scheme to manipulate the market for Precious Metals futures contracts and defraud Market Participants now one of the laws invoked by the federal prosecutors is the rico act this is a law designed to take down criminal syndicates like the mafia. So what exactly did these j. P. Morgan guys do well according to the indictment federal prosecutors say they used any illegal method called spoofing to mess with the price of silver well lets say that you flood the market with orders for silver this creates the impression that the demand is higher and you cancel all of those orders now this is illegal because it essentially makes the price of yoyo in an illegitimate synthetic way not according to the Natural Cycles of the market it is illegal to do this just once but apparently these j. P. Morgan guys were doing it for an entire decade now its worth mentioning that at this point j. P. Morgan owns roughly 50 percent. The world silver so messing with the price of it certainly had big implications for them now the scheme that the federal prosecutors have apparently just uncovered has been somewhat of an open secret for years heres our tease max kaiser describing it almost a decade ago on this channel they have sold shell silver contracts that dont exist theyre engaged in naked short selling this is a form of counterfeiting well heres a modern day max telling us exactly how they got away with it for so long well eric holder who was the attorney general under obama when this 1st came to light said that market manipulation and fraud were important for the American Economy and that he is the attorney general could not prosecute and that too big to jail was a part of the the part of the legal landscape of america now and so bankers were given a green light to commit massive fraud so that was the message from the department of justice under eric holder was commit all the fraud you see as long as we support the u. S. Dollar and if you need to manipulate markets and break laws then were going to look the other way because the just the part of believe that the fraud in the markets is somehow sacrosanct with the american way they equate americanism and capitalism with fraud that thanks to eric holder barack obama and now donald trump this is the American Economy weve been reporting heres as you know. These indictments always curious to see if anything comes out of it so far nobody has really paid a price for committing massive fraud. The u. S. Is sending extra troops and air Defense Systems to saudi arabia and the u. A. E. According to the pentagon the move is a response to iranian aggression earlier i spoke with tosca taylor about this development. The pentagon announced on friday that it would be sending additional troops what it calls a motor but which has yet to be. And miniature clinton both to saudi arabia and the u. A. E. Primarily it says for defensive purposes now the u. S. Claims that this was the request of local authorities to iran illegibly conducted a drone attack on 2 state run Oil Refineries and a Major Oil Field in saudi arabia just last week as the president has made clear the United States does not seek conflict with iran but said we have many other military options available should they be necessary it would be rosen myself as a true struggle hundreds of troops also just the secretary. Do you think this is going to be you know we think for now that would be sufficient but that doesnt mean there could be additional deployments as needed based on the changing situation and surprisingly there have been accusations about but what concrete facts do we know about those attacks well whats important to note is that the u. S. Has yet to provide any concrete evidence that iran is behind the attack despite conducting various investigations in fact the rebels in yemen how the ready claimed responsibility which is something that the u. S. A sort of tunning a bit of a blind eye to at the moment but heres what are some mixed messages because also on friday the saudi forces retaliated by launching a series of strikes near the yemeni port city of data by their own admission to stop rebels from conducting air assaults on shipping vessels in the red sea and this seems a bit contradictory because as the Iranian Foreign minister says the strikes seemingly seem to suggest that saudi of saudi arabia saying yes this is the rebels are behind attacking Oil Facilities and so were not going to punish them and prevent them from doing anything similar in the future. Since the saudi regime has blamed iran the basis is that is for the attacks on its own facilities curious that they retaliated against her data in yemen today breaking a u. N. Cease fire it is clear that even the saudis themselves dont believe the fiction of iranian involvement tehran claims that its ready for any scenario and that whichever country decides to potentially attack iran will become the site of a major battlefield so we have the u. S. Sending these troops but thats not the only pressure theyve decided to put on the iranians tell us more about that well no as is often the case as strikes and Troop Deployment havent been the only reaction this has been a sort of multipronged attack so washington has also decided to continue economically strangling iran by announcing a new survey of round of sanctions this time both on the central bank of iran and the National Development fund these are the highest sanctions ever imposed on a country never done it to this level. Its too bad whats happening with iran its going to hell because sanctioning Irans Central Bank reveals more than anything the u. S. Is desperation the americans have imposed all types of sanctions they can on iran now what theyre doing is imposing sanctions on the central bank which was sanctioned before under a different pretext their action is certainly hazardous and unacceptable and it is also a violation of International Law definitely a tense and quite fast unfolding situation and certainly an indication that unfortunately the standoff between tehran and washington doesnt look like its going to ease up anytime soon meanwhile the who the rebels say they are halting drone and missile attacks against saudi arabia and expect to reciprocate as for the u. S. Our guest say washingtons deployment is just a matter of protecting its own interest. The thinking behind the u. S. Deployment is miss rose it is the this is trying to project what he considers to be their own or what its considered to be their strategic lifeline so by sending more troops because we send 500 troops back in july but i read this Troop Deployment the u. S. Has begun so well the security of saudi arabia or oil thats not a possible war there is a war thats already been put in the you want you and i think. They were. Being. This is what were these and all the forces from. The Army National army. Back in 2000. And despite all the destruction of their heart and all the suffering part you know you have not succeeded in their often sort of war. Hong kong police have started dispersing antigovernment protesters with several 1000 taking part in the 16th consecutive weekend of demonstrations there may have. Been able. To debate. The police are using sponge grenades and pepper spray against the demonstrators some of which who have been blocking streets with barricades burning flags and destroying property to subway stations in the study of protests are also close earlier pro china supporters pull down messages and images put up any special wall by the anti beijing activists the rival flights have lately adopted new tactics to get their way as dana hawkins explains. For months hong kong has been embroiled in massive protests each passing week as see mistrust confrontation and violence on the 2 sides of the barricades escalate for many on the streets this has become a war of attrition with an implacable enemy both sides pick new tactics to get one over their opponents in an apparent deadlock. Many protesters feel this conflict is unwinnable wars are a powerful ally and western political intervention to tip the scales in their favor peace. And your health are paddling. Upon. By potentially passing this act the u. S. Risks the revocation of Hong Kong Special status crushing the regions economy but this seems a secondary concern when there are bigger battles to fight. While pitched battles are fought in the streets conflict has also spilled over online docs in the intentional spreading of private details in order to harass intimidate or coerce is the new favorite weapon and both sides are guilty its a tactic thats illegal yet hundreds of complaints have been emerging over the last few months many incidents of targeted pro opposition journalists Chinese State media have condoned revealing identities of protesters and on the opposite side about 40 percent of such cases have targeted Police Offices or their families government officials and other citizens a large number of our officers and their families have the impression that data unlawfully collected only practice norms and passing personal data including id card numbers birth date telephone numbers address and photos such data was this close on social media without the consent of our colleagues. That now seems inevitable recent polls show that 90 percent. Demonstrators now agree that radical tactics are needed to get their way a sign that a political ceasefire is nowhere in sight the protesters got what they wanted all those months ago and withdrawal of the widely criticized extradition bill but thats no longer enough an inquiry into Police Brutality fundamental political reforms resignations the list of demands grows longer the hong kong chief executive carrier has offered dialogue we are holding the 1st session next week and this is an open dialogue platform we share we will invite people from all walks of life to come to express their views to us this is because of our conviction that common occasion is far better than confrontation but when both sides see more focussed on fighting their perceived enemy than seeking a way forward kerry has a mountain to climb the violence is always initiated. Over a couple of please give us the video or so surprising we british or more of the very. Borders are always there but were always begins charging there was food groups while theyre out of the world or usually girls. Who are. Actually. Useful citizens and force him to. Be sure its all very much we will Auto Insurance hire also which. Theyd prefer you know all those asian asian is going to grow. Those who is going to be used to. It it was. Still to come in the program our correspondent traveled to pakistan where locals are worried by rising taxes and fears of political unrest purport after the break. Tensions between the masses and classes have existed ever since modern states came into being but often serve as a driver of political change with Russian Civil Society growing larger and louder against the excesses of the government leaks what is the future of the political system look like. Welcome back with pakistan planning its budget for next year many locals are worried by rising taxes amid fears of political on the rust thats what our correspondent paul sarah found. This is one of pakistans busiest markets where shop owners are the 1st to feel the brunt of the governments efforts to introduce tax reform and economic measures to try and address the failing economy but people here are angry the thing is that many of the shops here are not legally wages to and so the requirement that they do so and also pay taxes to put it mildly is not being welcomed by everyone yes we are facing difficulties on inflation on the rates of poverty are high still we hope things will get better its on the pakistani economy is facing one of its worst crises ever the population here numbers some 208000000 but hes growing by nearly no surprise then that the government has been forced to come up with out of the Box SolutionsEconomic Situation is quite bleak in pockets. And country have been for a thing you can only cry through. We can pray for and im a program for the right for because of the. Vision of our. Purpose of these conditions for the poor and the low income group which. Belong to various factions including the leader of the group and.

Policia r. T. Islamabad. The International LifeSciences Institute in washington d. C. Sounds harmless enough but a recent report suggest the r l s i is home to a very powerful lobbying group working on behalf of the u. S. Food industry the institute claims to promote science for the public good and to be transparent and denies it functions as a lobby group but i meet 3 of stop one of the people featured in the expres a begs to differ if you look at the conflict of interest statement for example for it by its by youll see our stories birth of directors it makes it very clear that if the interests are sincerely must come number one at the interest of any other body will come secondary to that this is a huge problem because this organization has been able to infiltrate if you may different Government Agencies particularly one Government Agency that decides on the rules and regulations on food safety and standards the these people who sit on the board of directors of n. C. Also sitting on these committees as Government Agencies that are supposed to do food safety. Standards and regulations there should be a split between their representatives who. See and people who are actually work he was Government Agencies to protect Public Health according to a recent study that institutes offshoot in china is said to have influenced the governments antiobesity program resulting in guidelines that downplay the role of diet in india reportedly have started government efforts to flag up potentially Unhealthy Foods a few decades ago it also championed the tobacco industrys interests in europe and america well more recently it supported claims that a widely use we kill or does not cause cancer the institutes website boasts that its an ngo working to promote health and the environment it does not mention who its donors are though reportedly these include cocacola pepsi co and mcdonalds i mean again gives further insight into how the aisle operates. Youll see seeks to influence individuals positions and policy both nationally and internationally and its corporate members deployed as a tool to promote their interests globally this is a group that is there to promote the interests of the Food Companies particularly with government officials around the world who are dealing with Public Health issues in those countries now what were finding is that well see is actually producing studies that we caught our advocacy lead studies in other words these are studies that are designed to influence policy makers by downplaying the real rule for example sugar so these are manufactured studies and this is a huge problem because what theyre doing is that they are also boeing are working with government scientists and government officials to make these studies more credible weve contacted the International LifeSciences Institute her response to these allegations no reply as of yet. Kill innocent or maim in prison despite the fact that his current present term comes to an end this sunday that we can expand our has almost completed his term for skipping bail but the court decided that if released he would have been conned again art is going under go underground discuss a scientist case with wiki leaks editor in chief Kristinn Hrafnsson heres a quick preview. Its hard for me as a journalist basically to see this unfolding in my close circle to see my friend in this situation not just because of him or lloyds really difficult for him but for joe or the journalist and for journalism in general because as weve talked about frequently this extradition case is. Will set a precedent which was will define june journalism in the future how on earth is a person who is in solitary we were almost all the entire day. With very little access to information. How can we prepare for the biggest most important corcos in his lifetime the extradition hearing in los february this is a question of life and death his hearing but this goes to show i mean what and so of course what new smells for the United Nations pressure up or toward torture set of how corrupt and how in stress that the entire system in the your code including the judiciary and the media has forgotten when it comes to julian ourselves and we see that before you call course earlier this year and this sort of was a confirmation that what Niels Meltzer said seems to be true that julian. Does not have a potential for severe trial into.

Suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished and be offended i had an almost 10 year career which i was very invested in and i gave that up to report a sex offender who was not even going to justice or put on the registry this is simply an hour and a violent male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether thats a man or woman.
