Being challenged more than 100000 of you have watched and commented on the story that we did earlier this week about china unloading part of its share of the u. S. Debt that it owns right it did so because it believes that the United States dollar is about 4 to be horribly devalued because of what the fed is doing by printing so much money seemingly out of fair is probably right u. S. Dollar will undoubtedly at some point be worth less and may eventually be pushed out as the only world currency probably by china maybe in the next 10 to 15 years. But heres todays development it appears that theres another player in the world stage thats making a similar move russia is now sending signals of no confidence in the u. S. Dollar as well and its doing so in a different way see the Russian Parliament has now officially cleared the way for the country to double its supply of gold what it is essentially doing is its removing the barriers including taxes so that russia can accelerate its gold buying spree the kremlin has made the dollar is ation as its been called a long term priority this its been going on since 2013 but now given whats happening in the United States economy. Seems to be doubling down is russia so where is this leading and what does this eventually going to mean for the u. S. And for the global d economy were going to break this down for you right here on the news with rick sanchez where we believe its time to do news again. Right lets get to it the list of the questions we think youll be asking tomorrow can the United States dollar survive the challenge from china and now russia why is the u. S. In a spat with the International Criminal court. Why is twitter making you read before retreating. Look theres no question that chinas ultimate goal is to compete with the u. S. Dollar as the worlds exclusive currency it is doing so because well because it can economically russia on the other hand has been pushing to de dollar eyes now since as i mentioned 2013 it is doing so because it feels that the United States and europe has given them no other choice what with sanctions and other acts of hostility as it sees it but now russia seeing what is happening to the United States economy is doubling down and doing so in gold. Here with that story from moscow our due course robert. Nowadays russias domestic refineries use approximately 30 percent of their capacity and mark in a fact is hindering the development of the countrys Precious Metals not is that important he now russias lower house of parliament plans to adopt a new law according to it 20 percent of the 80 on imported Precious Metals will be scrapped as a result of the volume of Gold Production the country is expected to double nowadays about 300. 00 tons of gold are processed in russia annually according to the latest data published by the ministry of finance in 2019 gold mining in the country increased by more than 9 percent go to the Previous Year classes know 20 percent of the 80 or Precious Metals imports additional volumes of real gold will come from africa central asia and latin america therefore more Precious Metals will be refined in the country in the future and that will positively affect employment of the population since an increase in the Production Capacity will require an increase in the number of jobs the move is also expected to create an investment gold market in russia according to experts as a financial instrument gold is protected from inflation and at a time of geopolitical risks and financial instability due to the coronavirus pandemic the metal could be an excellent substitute for traditional investments in you has dollars at the same time as able funds 2020 by of russia has suspended indefinitely the purchase of gold on the domestic Precious Metals market according to experts that decision was expected 1st in modern 5 years russias gold reserves have more than doubled during all those years that russia was getting rid of Us Government bonds and buying gold with the proceeds from that secondly now there is simply no additional money in the budget for that due to the 1000. 00 been demick basically during the crisis as the price of gold is high its purchase apparently is no longer a prayer. Well the bank of russia by the way as of may 1st 2020 the countrys gold risen has accumulated by the central bank 126000000000. 00 u. S. Dollars thats more than 20 percent of the total number of foreign reserves of the country we all know gold prices have been growing drastically recently just a year ago an ounce of the precious metal cost 1600. 00 u. S. Dollars i believe bill stock markets now its more than 7800. 00 currently the u. S. Has the most gold reserves in the wild more than 8000. 00 times russias face with nearly 2300. 00 times thats nearly 74000000. 00 ounces of gold possessed by the countrys central bank you see. Heres an interesting story coming from twitter so before you read that article make sure you actually mean before you send that article make sure you read it because twitter has a new policy where they dont seem to want people just tweeting stuff right for example somebody send you an article write something they want you to read but it has of the sept of headline and then you just pass it along without really reading it it turns out to be offensive or it turns out to be contradictory look i get it but what if. I have a newspaper like this one just happens to be the wall street journal great newspaper by the way and i read an article in the wall street journal i read it i already read it but i want my friend to read it too i cant send him the paper so what do i do i go to my computer i look at wall street journal i hit the u. R. L. I find the link to this article that i just read right there and i tweet it right to my friend i already read the article but now retreating it well interestingly enough twitter seems to be saying you cant do that either an up or to correspondent. A further look. The sound you hear when a twitter war is declared well the social media platform has been praised for allowing people of all walks of sharing their thoughts things may change twitter is testing out a new policy with some interest users before they share an article twitter asked the user twice in a statement twitter said to help promote informed discussion or testing a new prompt on android when you read tweet an article that you havent open on twitter we may ask if youd like to open it 1st the social media site claims people not reading the link they share has been a lingering issue according to scientists at Columbia University and microsoft a 26000 study reveal 59 percent of links posted on twitter are never clicked but just because you dont read it on twitter it doesnt mean you didnt read the article elsewhere but twitter says they just want to make sure this comes after twitter and acted what they called Fact Checking you may recall when they flagged one of president trumps tweets regarding mellon voting later adding a link on how to get the facts about male and ballots to sources twitter listed in its fact check were seen and the Washington Post so some are questioning if its false information twitter is trying to prevent or an alternate point of view reporting for the news with Rick Sanchez Natasha suites r. T. But this is the kind of interesting what looks. And sounds out in space like what theyre trying to do kind of make sense at least you could make an argue for it but once again it seems somewhat rausch what explain to me what may be wrong or right with a little. 1st of all if twitter once you do think its wrong let me just start off by saying that theres something wrong with it rick let me say lets say theres an article in Miami Herald Rick Sanchez is from mars and what he says i want you should see this not get to some students of i dont want to read through it im saying no right there to take youre telling people youre from im going to just send this off to you ive got to go through what next is going to be comprehensive ok you read it but do you understand it a is it about this are they going to test me what theyre trying to do is to go back to this when darpa or defense or who ever came up with this single of the internet they turned their head and the genie west and in the bottle indeed been trying to claw this thing back with things like hate mail or hate messages copyright but intellectual property well i reckon this is another example of that which really let me jelen you on that what if all theyre doing right and what have all theyre doing is trying to make more money because you know in our business of im sure you know you understand media as well as anybody its not how many times you click its how long they can prove that you spent on that particular content that they put out so they can put the word quick bait is so famous you know they get people heres the 10 top most beautiful women in the world and most guys like you and i said to her here 12345 so now we said we spent 2 minutes what our wives out in the room looking at the pet most beautiful woman in the world well isnt twitter going to do in the same bank theyre saying no we dont want to just passed off we want to spend time and look at it so we could make more money 1st of all speak for yourself when it comes to women and i but im not going to start from noticed no thats not yet what theyre trying to do is theyve realized that youre trying to slow you down look we live in a world our metrics look how many times i was like retreated in the last. Not look how many look our rick sanchez show was watch for 20 minutes you want to say you always say and rightfully so we had 150000 people yeah not we had 10000 but he spent quality time reviewing it thats nonsense twitter is nothing but a government apparatchik they are absolutely in bed with you can call of the deep state police state intel state shadow government ruling class whatever it is but they are trying new ways to throttle you up to and including shadow banning you and the like do you mean to tell me i have to qualify i have to qualify this rick this thing you when i hear floridians number the love bug most people dont know what theyre talking about everybody talking about we just love bugs come from twitter darpa whatever this is the love bug its crept out and its multiplying and theyre doing everything in their power to reel it back what about this other thurman challenge 0 one more thing i know when all of you at 32nd thought about the possibility that theyre actually saying look just in case or some nefarious stuff out there we want you to read it before you read the law in case of the presence of twitter is no fairy has anything that permits speech anything that limits your ability to communicate ill decide whats a fairest not jack dorsey but thats very good or good listen its my job as the questions that other people may not ask so i love a writer im trying to challenge your man im trying to push you back well youre the best always enjoy the conversations have a fantastic weekend my friend and all the best vary a lot of immersive.

A demonstration here on signed up parish hospital is just one of those judy could now a movement of hospital workers shouting at that anger in front of hospitals now it comes as parts of the Health Service in france have been experiencing unprecedented precious since the start of the 19 crisis it was already a service that many had said was close to collapse without a huge injection of money and much more stuff and now to add to the family of the latest biggest show that more than 50000 Health Care Workers court could make 19 cry as i and as tough as thats clearly investigations has a pheno has been going to have fronts handle of the pandemic it was opened by the cat. Arius chief prosecutor after moving 43 more complaints were brought not just by civil groups but also employing members of the public now the investigation will look at the alleged failure to put in place anti virus protection to provide face masks to reduce infection and to road testing to identify carriers of the virus now possible charges of involuntary homicide involuntary injury and in danger of life are also being examined now the focus of the inquiry will be the Public Health body in front song t. Put the trunks alongside the Health Ministry and also the National Prison administration but it will not focus on political nor administrative responsibility and france is not the only country that is asking questions over how the crisis was handled in italy prosecutors are to question the Prime Minister just along with other ministers such as the health and interior ministers now they want to know why a red zone wasnt in force back in february around 2 towns in the north of the country so with the European Countries are managing from the Health Crisis the focus is now turning to how they handle tents and there are many who are very critical of the governments demanding to know if they could have done more to save loved ones charlotte even ski altie paris charlotte meanwhile to europe openly criticizing the United States i know thats not something you hear every day because for the most part the u. S. And the e. U. Act like their best days but today the e. U. Is saying it has serious concerns with the tribe white house and what are trying to do ok so heres what this is about the International Criminal court is investigating whether war crimes occurred during the Afghanistan War whether they were committed by the taliban or by Afghan Forces or by u. S. Soldiers and troops or u. S. Theyre investigating it seems everybody but upon hearing this president trouble mediately put out sanctions that essentially punishes or threatens anybody who assists in the criminal courts investigation in any way that looks into the actions having to do with u. S. Soldiers so is the e. U. Right or is mr trump right were going to break this but 1st here is our Team Correspondent alex mileage with the story it may be ok for people of other nations the crime. Which you have been convicted of is of significant gravity but when the u. S. Is accused of war crimes the one time supporter of the International Criminal court says its citizens are not subject to the same rules rest assured that the men and women of the United States armed forces will never appear before the i. C. C. And nor will they ever be subjected to the judgments of unaccountable International Bodies even though the United States was a signatory of the treaty which established the i. C. C. In 2002 just weeks before it took a fact the george w. Bush administration withdrew from the International Agreement the reason the u. S. Was concerned that a court outside of americas borders would have jurisdiction over its citizens the trumpet ministration is echoing the sentiment i. C. C. Cannot subject americans to arrest prosecution in jail the u. S. Is not a party to the rome statute that created the i. C. C. And even if a prosecution were to proceed it would make a mockery of due process however even after president bush pulled out of the agreement there have been times that the u. S. Has worked with the International Criminal court the Obama Administration assisted in i. C. C. Investigations including helping to expose human rights abuses in Sudans Darfur region but now things are different. Trumps beef with the International Criminal court is an investigation that was greenlit in march the worlds only standing war crimes tribunal is looking into alleged misconduct by u. S. Troops in afghanistan the probe zeroes in on crimes against humanity including torture rape and other alleged misdeeds by American Forces during the war in afghanistan and at cia interrogation facilities in countries including poland lithuania and romania all who are i. C. C. Member states following this precedent the us could also be investigated for similar crimes in iraq and for assisting saudi arabia and its brutal Yemen Campaign currently the i. C. C. Has 123. 00 member countries including major u. S. Allies such as the United Kingdom france and canada even with friends on board the latest investigation seems to have irritated the trumpet ministration to the point where its lashing out drop administrations taking the following actions 1st or authorizing the imposition of economic sanctions against i. C. C. Officials directly engaged in i. C. C. Efforts to investigate u. S. Personnel or allied personnel against that allied states consent and against others who Material Support such officials activities and 2nd the u. S. Is imposing visa restrictions on officials involved in the investigations and their family members although the Trump Administration may insist that americans are not subject to the court since the u. S. Pulled out of the rome statute things dont necessarily work that way american citizens can be subject to the i. C. C. Has jurisdiction in investigations of crimes that are committed in countries that are members of the court such as afghanistan in fact there is nothing unusual about this as with all countries if u. S. Citizens commit a crime abroad they are subject to a foreign courts jurisdiction. Many believe that u. S. Sanctions against the court undermined this global order while diminishing the power of sanctions which are usually reserved for terrorists and dictators and not organizations trying to uphold the law for news with rick sanchez and alex my love it puts on a conversation about this joining us now ned ryan c. E. O. Of american majority also joining us former u. P. A. M. P. George Galloway George i kind of think i know where youre going to fall on this but im not quite sure where ned stand so let ned why dont you up throw out the 1st salvo here. Well no i mean weve never as weve were not part of the rome statute we have always fought the i. C. C. Attempts to assert jurisdiction over u. S. Military personnel and again i would reiterate george w. Bush who i wrote for was exactly right we were not going to be part of the i. C. C. For fear that it would target military personnel and the real question the real debate here rick is over National Sovereignty the u. S. Is not going to surrender some sabras sovereignty to some International Court and if they insist on trying to assert control this is why youre seeing the trumpet ministration push back if you would like to try and do this we will revoke pieces for you your family members and well freeze your assets you can have it both ways you can target u. S. Military personnel as war criminals and then try enjoy all the privileges and benefits of this country george to you. This is a court were talking about judgers legal officials i mean you cant appoint yourselves as the worlds policeman but refused to go to a court and threaten a scorched earth towards the court if they have the gall to prosecute crimes that were committed in a country which is a member of the courts these alleged crimes took place in afghanistan it is a member of the court therefore the court has every right to examine allegations of war crimes in the long conflict still going on in afghanistan. And refusing to allow look Julian Assange has a personal friend of mine the same people who are taking this approach to weigh the idea of sending an american accused to a court in the hague other very people demanding that my friend must be sent by britain to the United States to disappear for. The rest of his life publishing documents which revealed war crimes. To you were taught were what will couple things 1st of all were talking about a question of legitimacy and do we actually recognize this court we never have rick we have never recognized their legitimacy to assert jurisdiction over u. S. Military personnel why not so thats the issue weve never given it why not but why i would ask why would we this is about National Sovereignty were not going to let them target u. S. Military personnel who were sent there and i would i think the bigger argument we cant talk about it too much but is again the why are we even sending people to afghanistan and iraq i would quibble with that but they were sent by their commander in chief and by the generals but i will say this rick if youre going to quibble about the United States pushing back we should talk about russia we should talk about china we should talk about all these other countries that are also not part of the i. C. C. Again because of the issue of National Sovereignty as your problem just with u. S. Troops what are contractors what about some of these contractors we hear about whove done some pretty awful things in different places if they happen to have u. S. Citizenship they cant be held by a court either who are being who are being held accountable who have to face charges in this country rick who are being held accountable thats what pompei all stressed he stressed that very issue so galloway to you george can we he say look we should trust the United States our court system is every bit as good if not better than the World Criminal Court so let us handle it were going to do it well well do it right. Well look you are entitled not to extradite your accused people to the hague that is your National Sovereignty but whats being done here is to threaten the International Court from even investigate cases of alleged war crimes thats completely unconscionable has father divided europe from the United States if the United States is content to lose every friend its ever had in the world then go ahead the parser cogs the Iran Nuclear Deal the north stream to the International Criminal court go ahead burn everything tell everyone to go and get lost but dont expect to be loved at the end of. That to you you make a good point. Well no those those are all issues of course which thats why trouble selected we didnt want to be part of the paris accord we didnt want to be part of we disagree with north stream too and i will say this rick at the end of the day economic interest will can continue alliances and friendships moving Forward Trust me people will still want to do business with the United States for economic reasons so spare me some of this so in the end the guy who has the gold has the power.
