Go to toronto to alex mann who will bitch and get more not just canada but on mexico which. An interesting assignment canada and mexico a thing you didnt know before i was also a Real Estate Agent at one point i got my license when i was eighteen so this is a very interesting topic for me Canada Canada when you look at its a huge country and because of that were talking with the demographics when you break it down the types of homes that people live in fifty four percent of homes are actually detached home so thats about what manila was talking about as people in the burbs etc and im going to be a little bit of a breakdown of the what it really looks like though the whole sort of demographics of the country saw as about fifty three percent i should say single detached homes thats a big drop actually feel that theres been a decline in the past thirty years just a couple years ago back in two thousand and eleven was about fifty five percent apartment buildings were to about four stories or less eighteen percent of the population lives their apartment buildings five stories or more which are the high rises nine point nine percent and the duplex is twelve point nine percent other sixteen point two percent now the highest number of apartment dwellers we have in this country happen to be in trouble that would be the five or more stories that three out of ten people in montreal the demographics have a bigger florida tent but were talking about low rises there so the smaller type of building if you ever been to montreal its not necessarily the most sprawling up city is more sprawled out its kind of like toronto actually another breakdown here which i find very very interesting is the percentage of income spent on homes these numbers are from august two thousand and seventeen so the average pretax a couple canadian spending on houses is forty five point nine percent seventy nine point seven percent thats a whopping amount of your income toronto seventy two percent in st john not st johns two different cities st john New Brunswick twenty six percent so look the average prices that were looking at the homes in american dollars eight hundred fifty five thousand for vancouver all the way down to one hundred forty three thousand a month and you can see theres a massive difference this december two thousand and seventeen numbers a very current mexico whole different ballgame when it comes to mexico were talking about Seventy Eight point eight percent of the population living in urban areas which is pretty astonishing when you have a. Hundred twenty Million People living in your country and according to the o. E. C. D. Eighty four percent of mexicans are in highly urbanized areas thats one hundred thousand plus people in those areas twenty one percent of the annual income though is spent on housing which is very low mexicans and a great number of them build their own houses they inherit homes and the whole thing is its not like apartments like what we see in the states or canada theres a lot less of that and can coon believe it or not is number one when it comes to high prices they are skyrocketing in that city. Unbelievable r. T. Correspondent alex mahela bitch thank you so much we need to unpack that your mind a little bit over the weekend we now take a super quick break but stick around for more on Global Housing for our special here on the economics of sports in the super bowl will discuss and as we go to the numbers this was is the end you always speaking with me earlier about a really bad week for really Global Stock Markets for the dow index and the s. And p. It was the worst week in two years. The world is getting away from us dollar as wall reserve currency the one road one bell policy linking up russia and china is out of the dollar every last trade oil away from the dollar and countries are desperate to get out of the u. S. Dollar so the dollar is going to lose value no matter what anybody says so heres the treasury secretary really trying to make it look like oh thats our policy or for a lower dollar dont really matter what he says the dollar is going lower as weve been saying for a number of years because the u. S. Dollar is a currency that other countries recognize as funding the wars and the weapons on the property that theyre trying to escape. Join me everything from the alex im im sure and ill be speaking to us from the world of Politics School business im show business ill see you then. This little bundle of joy would have no chance of surviving in the wild mother pandas can only read one cup at a time but usually give birth to two. Every year china puts a lot of effort into making up for this cruel mistake of nature. Is just. Chinas penda breeding has become something of a production line. Its almost as though theyve been copied three d. Printed and put on show for the public. Several cubs are born here each year. But only left work by dedicated scientists will be for nothing if panda love cant be encouraged in captivity its not as though they dont practice until but in the same lazy way they do Everything Else with this proud mommy gave birth to twins and has no idea that a special love potion was formulated just for the. Few criminalist released by the point else turned shaming into an institution those included on the list are accused simply by association. Being from russia or is now an accepted cause for suspicion so does the criminalist really change it. Round up with. The best out of. The concepts most propane to perform i have actually prepared myself to. Need one. Sorry customer asked and. Has no. Islam in home. Im sorry im learning. This country was. Good so it ends in. Sort of getting. More traditionally a bit was that he agreed with us he was just that yes good to be sure so we told appear to education god a couple so high that. We continue with our special report on Global Housing for more on europe and africa. Reports the european economy is improving as a whole and as you mentioned is responsible for the spike in Consumer Confidence were seeing particularly in the house in spectrum now as it stands right now europeans spend roughly forty percent of their income on housing the highest percentage is in spain in the United Kingdom roughly spending fifty percent and the lowest is in switzerland and slovakia thirty percent the most common form of housing is flats according to the European Commission about forty two percent of people live in flats twenty four percent live in semi detached houses and one third lives in detached homes now if you want to buy property in the most expensive areas in europe paris real estate will give you the romantic setting you are looking for coming in as one of the top cities in europe and if you want to view of the alps it will cost you geneva rings seconds london comes in at number one with one Million Dollars only given you about two hundred seventy square feet now in africa the real estate sector is continuing to develop subsaharan africa. Experiencing a surge in population growth more so than any other global reach m. And there is a growing recognition that the regions main cities are not properly equipped for modern warehousing space so the urbanization of the area is also driving real estate according to the new world wealth cape town in south africa is still the most expensive city in africa to buy prime real estate with the exception of cape town south africa remains the least expensive country to live not only in africa but the entire world globally its the largest producer of gold and platinum the second most affordable country in africa followed by algeria and tunisia so the obvious trend here is the Housing Market is heavily influenced by a countrys economy and when things are booming people are shopping and that includes housing but investors say uncertainty with things like bricks that could change everything in los angeles and hottest tweets r t i. Cannot go global we cant go global with that talk about asia and oceania so lets go to our chief correspondent david miller for that. The most expensive cities in the world are found in Asia Hong Kong and tokyo known for their extremely high cost of living rank first and second respectively in the top twenty cities in the world where you will pay the highest rent in beijing and shanghai to the countries of are just markets and other megacities home sellers have stalled and prices have dropped falling slightly in some pockets and dramatically in others it is interesting to note that from the twenty cities ranked seven are asian hong kong with room prices ranging on average between two thousand u. S. Dollars and five thousand per month and tokyo with a strong in are followed by shanghai osaka mumbai beijing so enjoy a card and changes in global liquidity conditions and new american policies being pushed by President Trump are concerning trade and are likely to send asias Housing Markets on a roller coaster ride feeling pressure to keep up with Interest Rate hikes in the advanced economies in the meantime cindy takes a sixteenth position a list with rents starting from two thousand to near four thousand all depending on luxury and asia where five hundred Million People live in slums the region has the highest growth rate in the United Nations projections are that asias population will top five billion by two thousand and fifty and population is a very important determinant of Housing Demand it is projected that the population of the philippines will grow from ninety four million from two thousand and eleven to one hundred nine million in two thousand and twenty and further increases in two thousand and thirty reporting for us david miller r t america. All right we know it so lets bring it back here to the u. S. In your coverage of this which is just unbelievable all that data in the graphs thank you for doing it whats the most expensive place on one of the coast i give you top three San Francisco new york d. C. So its arm and a leg so could lose and money here in d. C. In looking at all this data which youve been poring over for days you know what is it the most surprised you anything i think i think a lot of people im not surprised i think a lot of people are going to be surprised to learn that more than one in five home sales right now are driven by single women unmarried its not like the woman on the loan and the husband isnt single women are driving Home Ownership one in five of them are bought by single women twice as many unmarried women are buying homes than are men and single women make up more than one third of the real estate growth since one thousand nine hundred four so take that very aggressive think you know and thank you to our correspondents and now we take a look at the economics of sports and of course as we head into the big weekend super bowl fifty two according to a recent report globally the most valuable sports team in two thousand and seventeen were surprisingly fun playing in american football leagues baseball basketball and of course the most popular sport in the world soccer we are joined now by victor met the suit who is a professor of economics and a county at holy cross professor thank you so much for being with us can you provide us with an overall economics of sports around the globe by sport. Well so theres no question that the most valuable league in the world either in total revenue or revenue per team is the n. F. L. Here in the United States thats followed by the n. B. A. Major League Baseball a couple others you have to get down a little way of ways before you find some of the european soccer leagues however when you total it up across sports across all of the entire world theres no question that soccer comes out on top all right now this is Super Bowl Weekend so we talk about football where was football in the perspective in the u. S. Versus the other sports so without question again n. F. L. Is the king of the fear the super bowl is going to attract maybe one hundred ten or one hundred twenty Million Viewers thats as many viewers as watched the n. B. A. Finals last year but of course the n. B. A. Finals went six games so five games last year the the world series went six games again roughly the same number of viewers so the super bowl attracts an audience two or three times higher than any other single sporting event in the United States at least ok and lets talk about the economics of what they are generated in the various areas around the super bowl we know about the commercials but what else is there the merchandising etc but first talk about the commercials if you might professor. So were looking at about five Million Dollars for a thirty second slot in a typical game you might get as many as one hundred commercials during the super bowl so youre looking at maybe as much as five hundred Million Dollars of revenue being generated there add on top of that an entire stadium of seventy thousand fans each paying a minimum of a thousand bucks so youre looking in the seventy two well over one hundred Million Dollars there plus the n. F. L. Tries to get money anywhere they can and it fell experience parking concessions its definitely going to be a good week for the n. F. L. Boy if youre one if youre one of if youre one of those you know folks who invested a commercial you really got to be hoping that its going to pay off with increased revenues that there could be some big losers out there i imagine how much does it cost to broadcast the game so the broadcast costs obviously are fairly low you know weve got a lot of good built in infrastructure for that so n. B. C. Isnt out a whole lot of extra money obviously this is a game where you have multiple cameras in the you bring the best possible crews you can but obviously its all worth it with the amount theyre selling there now of course you bring up a great point with the advertisers boy this is not a place to to not bring your a game because its a huge gamble at five million bucks tell me you cant let you go without asking you this what happens to all the merchandise professor that is printed with its incorrect because that team lost the super bowl. So my understanding is sometimes its destroyed other times its donated to charity most of the time with t. Shirts like that charities will collect those t. Shirts ship them abroad so you know dont be surprised if youre on the streets of zimbabwe some day and you see an Atlanta Falcons two thousand and seventeen super bowl fan or super bowl super bowl champs thats where that ends up or you or you might see it on e bay perfect professor Victor Matheson from holy cross thank you very much enjoy the game thanks for having me. And thats a wrap for todays broadcast be sure to catch boom bust on Youtube Youtube dot com slash boom bust r t c n x time. With no let me just manufacture consent to stick to the public will. When the ruling classes protect themselves. With the financial merry go round listen to the one percent of. The time we can all middle of the room sick. Room in the real news room. Seen years ago i traveled across the United States exploring americas deadly love affair with a gun if a bad guy tried to get to one of my family members he would have better a lot better and i think its fair and hurting when i buy my babies says my book was published in the year two thousand called inhofe a million americans have been killed by phones in the us on how to saute me as i did this this is a middle school we go through drills and we put ourselves in real scenarios it was interesting to see who actually got hit by the gun i just saw you to return to the subject to track down each gun owner who id met in photo all those years who god i dont know this but we are not. Oh no appetite i mean for conflict is very very low these days publics are much more eager to see economic improvement than they are to. To. Actually get into a fight with a neighbor or or with other powers in the world. But if it was a little. Known you know what i mean you know. You want to know the truth i think its a disgrace lot of people should be ashamed of themselves and much worse than that. The f. B. I. And u. S. Justice department used the highly dubious to obtain a warrant and spy and donald trump is trying to sixteen Election Campaign those are the claims made in a newly released declassified memo. Nato members turkey and greece sent to earth threatening over the sovereignty of two small islands with ankara threatening to break legs if athens doesnt back down. And with rack or demur to raids on the Police Corruption scandal u. S. City of baltimore is entering the introducing a socalled cease fire weekend hoping it temporarily stops a spate of killings of people all around the city make commitments to just be peaceful and not be valid for three days with just over the weekend if you keep it in to see a we cant know when the sun. Midday here in moscow and youre watching r. T. International live from our studio at mina dear to you that welcome to the program the release of the highly anticipated congressional memo approved by the u. S. President has ended speculation on one matter and started it on another this time over the fate of the investigation into trumps link to russia heres a breakdown of the controversial memo it claims the u. S. Justice department and f. B. I. Illegally obtained a warrant for the surveillance of a former trump aide and to be granted the warrant the f. B. I. Used to death year allegedly funded by the Democratic Party and Clinton Foundation i think its terrible you want to know the truth i think its a disgrace whats going on in this country i think its a disgrace the memo was sent to congress it was declassified congress will do whatever theyre going to do but i think its a disgrace whats happening in our country and when you look at that and you see that and some of the other things whats going on in a lot of people should be ashamed of themselves and much worse than that the Democratic Party was opposed to the memo being made public and now seems to be preparing to declassify one of their own to counter this latest republican document kellett more breaks and all the controversy surrounding its release. For over a year theres been an investigation by congress into donald trump for alleged collusion with russia so how did it all start well according to the recently declassified memo it all started with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act a warrant issued allowing the government to spy on trump during his president ial campaign so how do you get a warrant to spy on a president ial campaign well you present the pfizer court with ca in this case its the infamous steel dust ca now the f. B. I. Chief admitted that it was dubious but he still used it and the f. B. I. Still relied on it i was speaking to him and briefing him about some salacious unverified material no surveillance werent would have been sucked from the Foreign SurveillanceCourt Without the still dusty information so you present the court with a dot ca you pretty much dont believe because itll help you get a warrant to spy on who you want now this is what Deputy Attorney general bruce or said about Christopher Steele the former british agent and his agenda steele was desperate that donald trump not get elected president and was passionate about him not becoming president so why would a judge issue a warrant based on a dasi a that was pretty noncredible oh thats because the f. B. I. Never told him that according to the memo this was intentionally left out of the report now trump tweeted last year. Terrible just found out that obama had my wires tapped in trump tower just before the victory nothing found this is mccarthyism surrender all those people that mocked trumps tweet and said oh federal agencies could never spy on people unless they have good reasons that couldnt have happened well it started to look like it did happen and trust tweed is not so funny after all caleb mop and archie new york experts we spoke to a concern that surveillance law was used as a Political Tool not for security reasons we could know what the their intelligence agencies are doing this must be protecting the American People from from threats but this one was a case where they intervene in a political process that looks like and thats highly unusual and very disturbing this is how the f. B. I. Does business they do it surreptitiously they do it by stabbing people in the back they do it by setting people up by entrapping them by tricking them and thats exactly what they did with the place of court they played the face of court judge by not telling them the source of this deal does the they plead that judge by not telling them that this was a partisan. Report and and they got their warrant they got there werent any way. Turkey is threatening to break the legs of officials from its nato ally greece as the two countries reopen iraq of the sovereignty of two small islands. Things will feel the anger of turkey we will break the arms and legs of any officers of the Prime Minister or of any minister who dares to step on the emir in the aegean unspeakable statements like these are early into european political culture we have said this before it should know there please additionally we would like to remind him that the legal status of the gene is clear and guaranteed by International Law here on the map you can see the inhabited territories being disputed over turkey has made recent incursions towards the islands after a greek court denied the extradition of eight men and kris says were involved in the failed coup last year originally the isles are part of the Ottoman Empire but have long been recognized by the e. U. Is greek the sovereignty issued ignited back in december one thousand nine hundred five when a turkish boat run a greek vessel ashore it was followed by a succession of turkish and greek attempts to move each others flags from the islands even by journalists former Belgian Parliament member and political expert load avon who says hes not surprised by the raw between athens and im crying. Thank you increase have a past off military conflict i mean in the seventys they were even at war at some point its not a surprise that these two could nato Member States are in such a situation for a minute it wont make that much of a difference of course did the other countries are very poor it that this is my get out of hand you know that of course they do not like to nato members at war but need to as always survive this kind of skirmishes especially between greece and turkey we should not forget that all rhetoric aside and need to it was never about democracy and human rights i mean when nato was founded greece was a military dictatorship and turkey was a military dictatorship that did not impede their nato membership so i think on the whole things will go on as usual just that the only thing that we have to take care o. Is that this does not get out of hand this can always happen of course. The us city of baltimore will introduce a ceasefire this weekend aimed at tackling record high murder rates and stopping a spate of killings as the third ceasefire its kind of comes as members of the police units in the city are on trial in one of americas biggest corruption scandals arties samir khan has been following the story. This weekend activists are calling for a seventy two hour cease fire asking for a weekend without any violence whatsoever this is a third event of its kind in the last six months but these cease fire weekends began in august when baltimores homicide rate reached a record high last year with three hundred forty three murders the highest in the u. S. People all around the city make commitments to just be peaceful and not be violent for three days and to celebrate life and do life affirming event so theyre events all over the city with a start what a weekend and we keep it. A week in no homicides the rise is partly attributed to a drastic drop in arrests made by the Gun Trace Task force which is now dissolved as most of its members are on trial but theres been some damage control authorities have replaced its Police Commissioner baltimore Police Commissioner kevin davis was fired the notice shocked many this morning as mayor catherine pew pushed out a press release at eight oclock this morning im impatient we need Violence Reduction we need the numbers to go down faster than they are however his appointment came as somewhat of a shock his name almost instantly brought back memories of Police Shootings back in one thousand nine hundred five nevertheless the new commissioner came out guns blazing with a bunch of reforms including predictive policing a Computer System that can estimate the date place and even the possible perpetrator of a crime thats yet to be committed hes planning to install more surveillance cameras and deploy more patrols to troubled districts but stepping up surveillance doesnt really sound like a new plan even the department of justice advised against it bottom a Law Enforcement widespread unconstitutional and discriminator policing has exacerbated Community Distrust of the police particularly in the Africanamerican Community as Court Hearings continue here in baltimore many fear that there could be a problem much greater than one rogue unit and some of the latest testimonies. Jenkins the indicted officer told me he had handpicked the Gun Trace Task force to be a front for a criminal enterprise he also said there were officers from other units working with him Baltimore Police provided security for jenkins when he met with the drug supplier from new york despite efforts to reform the system it seems that every testimony undermines Citizens Trust in Law Enforcement and there are still weeks of trials to come samir khan r t reporting from baltimore.
