Will send more troops to saudi arabia and the u. S. Response to an alleged iranian strike on a new facility tehran the claims even riyadh knows its not. Yet you know where you are this is r. T. International great to have you with us. But shes on the road to the whats become the traditional sense of a protest in paris demonstrators gather to. Poor Living Conditions but also this time it changed to 152 people were the times reports from the same. Several clashes taking place across paris we hear on the show in silesia where actually 45 is taking place or you just get a sense of behind me there is a huge amount of anger here and thats because the police of course who dont area with the police in selling it which they. Not letting out and as you can see some of the people on the outside protesters are calling for the liberty of these people being called and in this section cordoned for no reason we were actually in there ourselves we were allowed out because were members of the press or the police did this decided to bring people up the street bring people down the street and hold them together this is now who is in a sense of tension he might feel see this one man hes arguing with the Police People will be saying you know given their liberty this is against a Constitutional Rights to be held like this for no reason weve also seen tear gas used to own this shows a lazy again used on people who didnt appear to be doing anything to warrant the use of that type of force there is a huge mobilization of Police Across paris today more than 7000 offices that is equivalent to what we saw on may the 1st when they were booty 1000 protest is out on the streets its not clear how many are out on the streets today but what i can tell you is all around me there is this palpable anger and this is just one spot in paris where people are gathered but we can see that the police are clearly trying to crack down on any violence they have being what we call cackling people into certain areas no allowing them to go out and then tear gassing them in those areas for what seems like no reason you can see that the firefight is just behind me putting out some of those full is that have been burned by some of the protesters and if we just sort of turn around and look you start to see just how many people in this area many protesters just being pushed to these extremes and away from the areas where they were couldnt didnt by the police chief gas has been raining down on us since we arrived at this part of paris but although this is where the main action is taking place there have also been at the School Machines in other parts of the city across the day. And the same can be said in other cities across france as well it just seems as if this movement the l a Vest Movement which many people thought could be dying down over the summer looks like its been ignited one small does that mean that were going to see tens of thousands of people on the streets once again thats certainly what the authorities fear and thats why they wanted to have this massive crackdown today 45 weeks of yellow vest protests 45 days of saturday protests and its still here almost a year on people still angry with the current state of france. Protests mood seems to be taking hold all around the world coming up later hong kong is again in the grip of protests with anti beijing activists appealing to the west and those supporting china leaking the identity is of mass bungled. But before we get to that top traders from americas largest bank j. P. Morgan chase have found themselves at the center of a Justice Department investigation the recusal manipulating the price of Precious Metals over the course of 8 years on the scale of morgan looks at how they under the radar for so long. When it comes to wall street hollywood doesnt exactly sprinkle stardust while portraying bankers thanks to a greedy. We profit off their stupidity you want to bet against the banks that think were either high or having a stroke. Name again move the money from your clients like you would if you could make claims 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 and others allegedly did 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. Of 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 3 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 mass the fraud so that was the message from the department of justice under eric holder was commit all the fraud you need 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 believes that the broadening the markets is somehow sacrosanct with the american way they 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 for he hears 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. Ron says its ready to turn any country that the tanks it into a battlefield if it has to retaliate says the Saudi Foreign minister blamed around the recent drone attacks in saudi all facilities despite the fact its an investigation thats still ongoing and the kind of beauty we have certain the attacks didnt come from yemen but from the new move the attacks were on. Taking with iranian weapons and for this reason we hold iran accountable for the middle east. If any country wants to attack iran it will seize territory turn into the conflicts main battlefield will never let any war be dragged into iran we will continue until the end we will continue until the full destruction of any aggressor and we will leave no safe place for enemies. For the u. S. Washington sending extra troops and Defense System set to saudi arabia and the us according to the pentagon the move is a response to iranian aggression earlier by calling jacqueline verger talk to r. T. Saskia taylor about developments. The pentagon announced on friday that it would be sending additional troops what it calls a moderate number which is yet to be disclosed and military 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 that said we have many other military options available should they be necessary it will be rosen with thousands of troops struggling hundreds of troops also just the secretary. Do you think this is going to be enough 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 has already 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 you want 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 the 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 is been a sort of multipronged attack so washington has also decided to continue economically strangling iran by announcing a new a severe 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 weve never done it to this level. Its too bad whats happening with iran its going to hell. 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 different pretext their action is certainly hazardous and unacceptable and it is also a violation of international law. Thats really 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 the political analysts. Believe that the u. S. Military threat is lost all credibility in the eyes of iranian officials. As a matter of fact in addition to milk in the south of the cals that same fashion nowadays. There needs to be some you know reinforcement in the region for the United States in order to take the gesture that its still a strong its ready to go for action to save face in the world on the other hand they have long been pursuing the strategy to widen their military build up in the persian gulf in order to push themselves into the management and control of the waterway the strait of or most once your own shut down their global hawk the american drone few months ago this law was called by iran and there you know military threats have no more credibility in the eyes of the iranian officials but all in all its not going to be war against iran we all know that we are sure about that for various reasons. Hong kong police are trying to break up antigovernment protesters up to several 1000 gathered for the 16th consecutive weekend of demos. I was. The sample ready to use controlled weapons and pepper spray against the demonstrators have been blocking states with barricades burning flags and destroying property by subway stations are being closed early approach china supporters hold down messages and images put up on a special role by the anti beijing activists the rival sides a lately adopted new tactics to get their way explains. Why for months hong kong has been embroiled in massive protests each passing week to see mistrust confrontation and violence on the 2 sides of the barricades escalate so 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 us 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 propositions journalists Chinese State media have condoned revealing identities of protesters and on the opposite sides about 40 percent of such cases have targeted Police Officers or their families government officials and other citizens a large number of our officers and their families have the impression that the unlawfully collected elite practice norms and passing that 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 of demonstrators now agree that radical tactics are needed to get their way a sign that a political ceasefire is nowhere in sight the protesters have 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 where shall 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 carry has a mountain to climb the violence is always initiated voted out of this level of coverage play the western media or belittle it so surprising with british or north american reporters are always. Always begins charging the wall street that is what that they are they were there or usually got a hold where the public robert these guys who are going to actually. Hold the peaceful citizens and the law and force him to. Beijing is outraged people are outraged in shanghai also which a recent visit but theyd prefer you all in this world occasion because you beijing is going to grab all these rioters who is going to be used against to immediately put a western propaganda.
