In the heart of the swiss alps this is a place probably more secretive than the pentagon more mysterious than the cia and better guarded than for knox swiss customs are here permanently all the science is controlled by them and they impose the opening time so it was it it was a do this for me is all plus the procedures in place of the strictest in all europe must to pieces by artists like pecan so and modigliani i cant boards and sold in the side this warehouse thats where the report comes in it covers up deals which are not naturally discreet commercially discreet still but also discreet because they concern fraud of some of those paintings a link to dark secrets nobody knows. How many of these secrets a kept inside the geneva freeport. Youll never obtain an inventory of all the works in the freeport who knows how many there are three hundred three thousand three hundred thousand is it a matter of confidentiality only is it the worlds black box of the art business.

Its all to see we have a great team we need to strengthen before the free float world cold and youre better than a legend to keep it so its at the back. In one thousand nine hundred two that must qualify for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in us but we won and im hoping to bring some of that winning spirit to the r.

The new year is already a little bit happier for people who work for a living a variety of minimum wage increases took a factor yesterday in eighteen states as well as some cities many of the increases were passed by direct Ballot Initiatives as in arizona while some states including florida for example index their minimum wage to inflation many of the increases are part of a gradual increase says set to kick in over many years and to more booze for this year are in the pipeline for july and maryland and or get the current federal minimum wage of seven dollars and twenty five cents congress has not raised the minimum wage since two thousand and nine and failed to index its inflation it to inflation the inflation adjusted value of the minimum wage peak to in one thousand nine hundred sixty eight if it had kept pace with the increase in average wages it would be eleven dollars and sixty two cents according to the Economic Policy institute a. B. I. Also found that if the minimum wage had kept pace with pride that productivity increases as a dead until nine hundred sixty eight it would be over one thousand dollars an hour today meanwhile wages in some of the nations most prosperous cities may finally be catching up with the tightening labor market the wall street journal report. Its that in cities including minneapolis and denver with unemployment under three percent wages are increasing and response minneapolis for example has an Unemployment Rate of just two point three percent and the Labor Department says private sector wages increase four percent year over year and the Second Quarter of twenty seventeen the journal also reports that basic trend of wage increases at double the National Average as also holding and cities including san whos a alston and a morning to bring all of this news as a report from the Human ResourcesManagement Company paychecks the firm says theyre Small Business jobs and excel point Seventy Eight percent for twenty seventeen overall the paycheck c. E. O.

Manufacturing activity in the euro zone ended a strong twenty seventeen on a high note according to a survey of the regions purchasing executives published on tuesday acceleration in output new orders and employment all contributed to pushing the euro zone purchasing manager and act to record high what more or less r.

That david miller joins us now happy new year guys good news for the european factories to start the new year as Financial Reports indicate side specter has had their strongest month since before the creation of the euro and businesses in germany our learned austria all reported record growth in law greece enjoyed its best results for nearly a decade all this capping off a much better than expected the year for the businesses and single currencies areas and europes economy consistently beat expectations throughout two thousand and seventeen leading economists and policymakers to increase their growth forecasts and forward looking indicators bode well for the new year and new orders rose at a near record pace purchasing growth hitting new peak as firms ready themselves for higher production and meanwhile job creation was maintained at novembers record pace with the Currency Union becoming the Success Story of last year so much so that the Economic Performance was outpacing that of its peers including the United States however upward price pressures may be returning as a Manufacturing Sector does appear to have balance higher input prices with a strong overall performance the Sticking Point raising some doubt as inflation remains stubbornly below the target in spite of record growth and those levels at the figure of two percent raising slight concern for the European Central bank. David considering inflation and thinking about markets in the us i mean we had Something Like seventy record Dow Jones Industrial average highs in the market last year it was just on a chair and some people. Myself included maybe think were about tapped out although ive been saying that for six months so is this a place where in the e. U. The eurozone a place where people should be investing higher investment should help boost productivity and profits also job creation was maintained at a record pace and event combining that with new orders and rising that near record pace while purchasing growth and a new people are giving investors more confidence inflected some of those fears when it does come to inflation david miller thank you so much appreciate your help. Now that there is a new tax reform law officials in higher tax states like new york and california are looking for ways to reduce the end packed up on their side of the new law limits deductions from state and local taxes here to discuss white what might happen is conservative t. V. And radio host Steve Malzberg steve happy new year and thanks for joining us again you were right that the tax reform bill would pass but a lot of people from these high stakes high tax states say that it was so so wrong what did congress do on limiting the deductions at the end hows it going to impact people well first of all congrats happy new year to you it to ashley and congratulations to you on the position you know youre going to do wonderful things with the show and im glad to be a part of it ok so of course they call it salt state and local taxes and the deductions used to be you know a limitless whatever your property taxes were in your state local taxes where you were able to deduct them in big states like new york and california for instance which are blue states by the way they have higher property taxes and higher state and local taxes so they had these big deductions and now theyre capped at ten thousand dollars so the governors of these states especially cuomo in new york and brown in california are trying to come up with ways to circumvent. All these what they consider to be penalties and that being picked on which i think is ridiculous now that theyve talked about a couple of different approaches and i might agree with you on the ridiculousness factor here a little bit but one of those is theyre going to go to court and the states would claim that the law unfairly singles them out is that is that one hiring your ridiculous scale. Yeah look i live in new jersey and im going to be burned by this but the fact of the matter is it this isnt specified actual set of rules for those states its these are the rules for all states and just because these high tax states on their own decide to be high tax states youre going to say theyre punishing us theyre singling us out because we tax our people more i mean thats their problem and now my problem its not the courts problem or the countrys problem and i am magine that Chris Christie will not be leading the fight in federal court to change that for new jersey steve so what about the other option that states are reportedly looking towards and thats replacing state income taxes which as you explained were fully deductible and now the cap is only ten thousand with a new tax free form law on employers which are deductible what about that. I mean this is. A shell game or i want to say Money Laundering but you know youre the expert you tell its not money but it may be a shell game yes they have i mean instead of you the president the president of the state paying what they owe in state taxes youre going to have the employer take it out of your paycheck so youll never have the money in the first place and theyll pay it to the government and then they say well now you can deduct it because were going to call it Something Else i mean i can see i i could see a judge whos a democrat liberal judge saying yes but when this ultimately gets to the highest court theyll laugh it out i mean i dont see how they could pull this all off well whatever the old phrase is one mans loophole is somebody elses something i mean one of ben franklin say theres only one thing in life that certain death and death and sadness tactics are now the most interesting of the scenarios that the state sees high stack tax states would consider steve is it would allow residents and you know this but i cant believe it for our viewers the residents of these high tax states to replace their loss of the deduction with a charitable contribution to the state so just like on the form where you fill out a blank there check the box if you want to contribute to the president ial public funded campaigns you would give a charitable donation to the states and therefore you can deduct that what your take on that one well i dont even understand that really see the way the way i interpreted it was that they would call these your whatever your tax bill was they would call it a charitable contribution otherwise youre going to be paying that charitable contribution to offset what you lost in addition to so i dont know im not sure if im right maybe im wrong maybe youre correct but either way its just again its a shell game its i just dont see how its going to fly. Get the i. R. S. Is not going to allow this for crying out loud the i. R. S. Is already cracking the. And on some people who prepaid their mortgage interest and state local taxes. All seventeen to circumvent zero eight hundred so that that that never going to go for this is to be a law in court battle and thats what the democrats want heading into the zero eighteen elections is it only democrats steve well no i mean by that its only democrat governors its only blue states so theyll be the ones involved in this yeah i dont see a red state governor you know jumping on with this because its the blue state liberals that spend that have the higher taxes and theyve got a solution for them its a three letter word cut. Thank you so much when have you back talk about the shutdown sometimes deep conservative commentator Steve Malzberg thank you again my pleasure. Chocolate is a big business and mars the Candy Company behind m. And ms is worth over thirty five billion dollars and Global Consumption of chocolate is expected to hit over seven point seven million tons by twenty nineteen nations that actually produce the most chocolate are the United States germany switzerland and belgium that belgium chocolate in twenty seventeen switzerland consumed more chocolate than any other country on the face of the planet more than seventeen pounds of chocolate per person however all of that could come crashing down if things dont change by twenty fifty currently almost half of the word worlds kickout beans from which chocolate of course is derived are grown into african countries the ivory coast and gonna on a narrow strip of rain forest land that is twenty Degrees North and south of the equator however the global rise in temperature puts these plants in a precarious position as warmer climates cause the plants to rot sorta like a cavity in your tooth and by the way while many parts of the nation have been experiencing a real chill and cold in recent days remember that Global Warming is about the averages its not about a few days this way or that way on temperatures it is a fact that last year twenty seventeen was the hottest year on record without an elm el nino effect and by a huge margin twenty fourteen previously held the record so whats a Candy Company to do about Climate Change and chocolate well you turn to science of course currently scientists in conjunction with mars and some other Candy Companies are trying to develop a cow plant that can survive in warmer drier climates while reducing the companys Carbon Footprint so cooperation has never sounded so sweet will wish them luck. Thanks for watching be sure to catch boom bust on Youtube Youtube dot com slash will bust parties the next time. Hello my names peter and ive been living in bushnell for about seven years and this is a film about just some of the crazy things ive got soaked through in the time. I get up yet. Let me gusta just punished or did you get the pirates of the stuff that i still does not see if. I had a great education a good job and a family that loved me. I never had to worry about how i would eat and where i would sleep. Im facing christmas alone out on the streets of london. Playing. A clip of the glory like going to school you know to simulate the still give up food for the homeless. Its you dont really feel like me being in that. And then. The guy just came over to me saw me and gave me this book. Shows seem wrong why dont we all just dont all. Get to shape our disdain comes to our ticket and in detroit equals betrayal. When something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. We applaud the tremendous courage of the arena of people. Washington throws its support behind the violent antigovernment protests in iran threatening sanctions over attempts to suppress the unrest. Also this hour after infuriating muslims across the middle east over jerusalem status the u. S. President considers cutting aid to the palestinians for not wanting to talk peace. In the slanging match between donald trump and the north Korean Leader descends into barbs about the size and power of the Nuclear Button just as south korea tries to calm the situation with upcoming talks with pyongyang. Hello welcome has just gone mid day here in moscow youre watching r. T. International. Now the trumpet ministration could impose sanctions on iran if its not satisfied with irans response to the ongoing protests in the country. We dont get ahead of sanctions but that is one tool kit a couple things that we have in a very broad and wide toolkit so there are a range of options that we certainly have Going Forward and thats why i say we are watching reports very carefully of any potential human rights abuses of these protesters who are protesting peacefully what iran has seen its sixth consecutive day of unrest and at least twenty one people are thought to have died in the clashes the demonstrations started in december in protest over the sluggish economy and the jump in prices then transformed into a political uprising with some chanting antigovernment slogans the unrest turned violent in several towns with police posts attacked by the protesters and in the last three days there have been more than four hundred fifty arrests in toronto alone we asked people in toronto what they thought about the protests. Given i feel that if peoples economic problems were addressed these accidents would never happen again so if someone from the government came and spoke to them these incidents would not escalate. The cost of living unemployment a lack of attention to people Authorities Say that this problem started with a surge in the prices of basic food supplies. You need that person who says time for change should think and be worried about their own country and their ring and should think about their country everybody should start by trying to make progress at home. I dont think trump should interfere in our countrys issues i dont think our issues are any of his business while the u. S. Is also calling for an International Response to the unrest in the country with more matt is some miracle. The u. S. Has firmly voiced its support for the Antigovernment Movement baster nikki haley has even called for an emergency meeting of the u. N. Security council to discuss the ongoing situation it takes great bravery for the iranian people to use the power of their voice against their government if the iranian dictatorships history is any guide we can expect more outrageous abuses in the days to come the u. N. Must speak out irans president has come out in defense of peaceful protests but the Supreme Leader believes the foreign powers are just check out what was said. Ford said the enemy is waiting for an opportunity for a crack it can infiltrate President Trump kicked off the new year unleashing a stream of tweets on the issue accusing iran of corruption human rights violation and spending its wealth on terrorism and of course the Israeli Government has followed suit even going on to say that the iranians israelis were friends once the real force but whats even more surprising is that israel faces the same district and some of the antigovernment protests in some of the towns recognition of jerusalem as its capital but what did nikki haley have to say about this now are you sure strong when it comes to the freedom and dignity of their union people who have but you have a different meaning of freedom and dignity when it comes to the Palestinian People will be because weve been brutalized for over fifty years of occupation the palestinians now have to show their world they want to come to the table as of now theyre not coming to the table but they ask for aid were not giving aid were going to make sure that they come to the table and we want to move forward with the Peace Process so as you just heard the u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. Has revealed plans to stop funding a u. N. Agency giving aid to Palestinian Refugees shortly after the u. S. Leader himself suggested cutting donations to the Palestinian Administration in a tweet he claims that despite giving them hundreds of millions of dollars a year they show no appreciation or specs for the u. S. From port suggested cutting aid because according to him the palestinians are not willing to talk peace with israel but im zebo dude whos an editor of the palestine chronicle believes all this is nothing short of bullying. I dont think it is i think it is part of the. Policy that has been followed by the Trump Administration for months now and its a policy that is called immediate sort very well with the Israeli Government the tweet was also joined by a statement made by the u. S. Ambassador to the United Nations that she says forthright that we will not be giving money to on the u. N. And Refugee Agency that is dedicated to helping millions of Palestinian Refugees in palestine and in refugee camps across the middle east if this is not a form or bullying its not a form of intimidation then what is. Palestine or north korea president has made twitter his go to a platform to get his message across but is r. T. As you go he done and now explains all too often his posting lead to some very real and violent consequences Christmas New Year even the seasonal holidays havent put the brakes on trumps twitter train in twenty teen pakistan got it first. The United States has foolishly given pakistan moving thirty three billion dollars in aid over the last fifteen years and they have given us nothing but lies and deceit thinking of our leaders as fools they give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in afghanistan with little help no more no love lost their Trumps Administration has been walloping pakistan for months but its not like anything in particular happened on monday to trigger the backlash but to say this tweet got a slam about an age would be an understatement three ministers including the Prime Minister the army the navy and air force chiefs all converged for an Emergency Security meeting following trumps post the u. S. Ambassador was summoned for an explanation as protesters burned american flags in the streets then it was the. One of iran one of the biggest thorns in Donald Trumps side. Iran is failing at every level despite the terrible deal made with them by the bammer ministration the great iranian people have been repressed for many years they are hungry for food and for freedom along with human rights the wealth of iran is being looted time for change these lawmakers public has been erupting in rallies and bryant says people have been swarming the streets both against stand in support of the Government People died the tweet hasnt gone unnoticed in iran urging against the violence president rouhani denied to trump the right to sympathize with the nation well when done with the middle east trump couldnt help but pay the classic twitter tribute to his one and only rocket man. Sanctions and other pressures are beginning to have an impact on north korea soldiers are dangerously fleeing to south korea rocket man now wants to talk to south korea for the first time perhaps thats good news perhaps not we will see well apparently this was Donald Trumps knee jerk reaction to south korea offering to hold high level talks with the north after pyongyang suggested the countries should meet to discuss the next olympics its not government policy its the. Ravings of a person who speaks before thinking tweets before thinking in a one way or hope that the people on the receiving end of these things would take them with a grain of salt because. You know trump may say those things but he cant act on them because hes got a whole bureaucracy behind him that doesnt agree with them so. Its very destabilizing and i think its undermining us ability to negotiate solutions to problems so whatever policy donald trump is concocting stirring trouble on twitter is something that is going to stay it was done of. Well of all the Global Leaders north Koreas Kim Jong un has been perhaps most targeted by trumps tweet and one of his most recent posts to you has seen the battle of words between the two descend into insults about the size and power of the Nuclear Button. Youre calling our week the entire u. S. Mainland is within the range of our Nuclear Strike and the button is always on the table in my office space you clearly know that this is certainly not a threat but rather a reality where someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that i too have a Nuclear Button but its a much bigger and more powerful woman his and my but more work i hope personally such rhetoric by the side of the p. R. K. By its Supreme Leader or by the United States through its President Donald Trump will calm down the world does not need such jingoism or war rhetoric right now the situation is in a stalemate
