It is a scandal thats rocking the finance community the worlds top banks are being accused of moving large sums of allegedly illicit funds over a period of nearly 2 decades despite red flags about the origins of the money itself or the leak of thousands of documents including suspicious activity reports filed by Financial Institutions to u. S. Regulators in total and 2 trillion dollars worth of suspicious transactions flag to the u. S. Government run lies by journalist seems 5 major world banks possess the most suspicious money in processed it including dog which alone appears to have dealt with more than half of the alleged illicit transactions then j. P. Morgan chase is also said to facilitate it Money Laundering for corrupt entities of venezuela ukraine and the lazier while h. S. B. C. Allegedly helped move money from a ponzi scheme around the world we spoke with one of the reporters from the International Consortium of investigative journalists who are uncovered the findings. You know it was very fascinating to see huge money flows through the biggest banks you can think of no im not talking about shady pop up banks. In well known secrecy havens were talking about the biggest banks you can think of were talking about banks on wall street and they way through money that was sort of sent through them by these Smaller Banks all over the world and these are the banks that you sort of believe all of us sort of the grown ups in the room who are going to be responsible for you know being taking that sort of front line defense against really toxic talk to criminality but in fact you know we were seeing not only were they waving this stuff through but they sort of knew it was it was bad stuff that they were waiting to as well. Financial institutions are legally bound to alert regulators to suspicious activity including Money Laundering or sanctions violations however it seems but he continued still processing money themselves and flagged up further putting a regulators too in the spotlight Mccauley Jaclyn got more detail from correspondents house can tailor. Well the banks despite fighting of course these reports about that suspicions continue to just blindly move really astonishing sums of cash with some of them coming from drug cartels human traffickers crime rings corrupt politicians even the taliban i mean were really talking about the darkest underbelly of society now unfortunately this week has been politicized by some media in the u. K. Especially there has been a particular emphasis on those russians involved for example how a russian politician sanctioned by the u. S. Government sent around 8000000. 00 to a compound in london with some of that money ultimately being donated to the conservative party or how an oligarch. Allegedly laundered millions of dollars through barclays now given the very fraught Political Climate at the moment its probably on surprising that there is such a focus on these socalled russians but really it does such a huge disservice to the scope of this scandal i mean 3000 u. K. Companies alone on named in those files now thats more than any other country on top of that any bank you can think of really has implicated you know bank of America American express j. P. Morgan to citibank barclays the list goes on and then clients and more than 170 countries and there are 293 in the world were named and flagged so focusing on a couple of russians in the u. K. It seems a bit disproportionate and whats been the reaction in the financial world since this all broke while the German Ministry of finance has said that all of these transactions in the past they were all dated up until 2017 so theyve been investigated the matter is closed but lets hear what some of the other big hitters had to say this is not new information to our regulators we learn from our mistakes systematically tackle the issues and made changes to our business perimeter our controls in our personal. Consistent with our commitment to protect the integrity of the Financial System citys diligence in filing suspicious activity reports with the u. S. Department of the treasury when appropriate given the confidential nature of these reports we do not comment on or confirm any particular report transaction now some argue that these words are not convince and given that the u. S. Government especially has been pushing banks to reform for years now theyve been fining them millions of dollars theyve been threatening them with criminal charges so the fence and files show how these banks just transaction off to transactions have been violating all of those promises of Good Behavior and really given this leak is also thought to be just the tip of the iceberg and account for a point 2 percent of the total reports filed you know we all remember how painful how damaging the 2008 crash was we all hoped that that would somehow trigger change but really this latest leak you know the internationality of it the number of banks involved the astonishing the psalms the source of some of that cash really unfortunately is testament to how when it comes to money no matter how dirty it is morality and often the law is just left at the wayside for an uncertain as Charlie Boyle suspects the banks name to the scandal are unlikely that a face in the real punishment. Thats in the words that most lists the latest late. 2017 story you know that my suspicions are all around a cycle this is still going on and nothing seems to change in every case the old paranoia made better use aerospace rastafari which is much less of the revenue that its being nigerian to truncate or whatever you want to call it and then the banks just go back to normal as nothings happened this is a continuous cycle its a great family concert people forget about it there are problems in our lives starting its current form topic ending rape were at the beginning again and this is what i consider. Britains 1st refugee camps open those doors the former Army Barracks in focused in the southern county kent to set a house up to 400 Asylum Seekers but local authorities are worried indeed for straighted after not being consulted it comes as almost 6500. 00 migrants have made the dangerous trip in small boats across the choppy English Channel already this year. For. All. 4. Or. 4. Or. War or fetch up here and they dont want the all the people like the bait not being that if i could not have a chance to get to. If you see this is happened quite quickly we 1st found out about it maybe 2 weeks ago and weve had a lot of questions none of which we pop satisfactory answers to yet i think is a good idea because clearly many many buildings here theres an empty. Someplace you know city to be really seeking asylum thats fair enough to do it in the could mean it is good and bad you know we dont know. It might be just very great to be. Done but the reason again this is just a very nice Little Community and people are very friendly very nice but i knew a lot of them dont like. Them she just got me. Oh lets see that the split seat if you get to me to say the seat company time for money. Well continue to follow the story from watching this mornings commute could pass the morning ok ahead twitter red faced off to blocking black people because of flaws in the. We investigate what that was about amongst the rest this mornings news. Shows seem wrong. To me. To shape out these days to come out ahead and indeed equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this hearing Dramatic Development only and going to exist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical. To sit. In. Again former black president s and even black Simpsons Characters have been left out of twitter after a mistake in its photo preview feature the platforms 6 algorithm to fit an image into the main feet left out apparently barack obama in favor of white politician Mitch Mcconnell and favored white citizens carrot isnt even golden labradors the social media giant admits it did not test enough patently for automatic bias and theres launched an investigation its not the 1st such case of controversy the one user of Video Communications companies zoom question quite why his dark skin colleague was banishing during a Virtual Meeting later turned the service mistook the mans face for part of the background so therefore automatically removed it social media lawyer year cohen makes plain the mistakes and a bit more detail. The reason why twitter appears to be cropping images in the 1st place is to make the images more acceptable to the i perhaps more pleasant to the i and this is part of the of the greeting that the did the machine is being fed with the by east is institutional by the where did the by see something that people deliberately cause when we talk about institutional buy see may be talking about statistics being fed into day into the machine about peoples preferences about all sorts of information that 80 year end it causes some sort of prejudice against a particular group of people with a recent this is more of a technical issue rather than something that the machine had to learn from from people. This is new and now almost 200 World Leaders politicians lawyers and academics are urging britain the free wiki leaks founder Julian Assange hes behind bars still waiting for a london court to rule on his extradition to the u. S. The call came in an open letter to the government lawyer a member rather for lawyers for a son says his case is clearly politicized. Piece of duty in a sound is very clear cut morally there there is no doubt who is in the right and who is in the wrong on the one hand we have a journalist who has exposed incredible work crimes and torture and corruption on the other hand we have the embarrassed superpower that wants to prosecute him it couldnt be more black and white than this as legal experts we can see and equivocally that what is going on is a political process and sanjay is accused of leaking a trove of secret u. S. Military and diplomatic documents his extradition hearing have been delayed because by the covert and accumulate the proceedings is repeatedly being marked by protests outside the Court Building with public figures and political activists coming to support him former m. P. George galloway 1st musician mia reacting to the developments. I still feel hopeful. It is just nice i wish i could tell him the ways that you know well it is changing and Peoples Press freedom just barely ate the trees speak freely on the internet is actually way where this then it was the area and you say much censorship is the trial is back on again but you use the best word that ive heard to describe it trudging on its trudging all day in complete silence none of the british media are covering this story after all even though its the trial of the century right in the heart of london in some cases a few 100 yards away from the big media houses but none of them attend none of them are interested even though all the journalists in those media houses if julian our sons goes down so does journalism and where he goes there might. One day be forced to follow we know how the case is going its going extremely badly for the u. S. Government and the British Government the tragedy is that probably wont make any difference at all. World leaders getting ready for the 75th United Nations General Assembly which this years being held virtually and washingtons move to unilaterally reimposing un sanctions on irans already dominating set agenda kellam open looks forward to. 75th the United Nations General Assembly in new york city is certainly unconventional as its being held virtually with travel restrictions imposed due to the coded 19 pandemic now despite the fact that its basically a cyber gathering with very few people on the premises of the United Nations there has been no shortage of drama the week began with the u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei o imposing new sanctions on the Islamic Republic of iran these are the sanctions that were lifted after the 2015 nuclear deal however the United States is taking the unilateral move of restoring those sanctions or actions today or warning that should be heard worldwide no matter who you are if you violate the u. N. Arms embargo on iran your wrists anxious the country thats isolated today is not tonight it states but rather iran by these actions we have made very clear that every member of the state in the United Nations has a responsibility to enforce these sanctions now other nations how denounced this unilateral move from the United States and strong disapproval of the United States pretty much stands alone at the United Nations when it comes to their skirt standoff with iran and moves today we can see the maximum pressure policy of the u.
