1:02 pm
that people from the countries who don't have any connection to the united states will not be allowed in for ninety days president trump has called the ruling a clear victory for national security. as more detail. the travel ban has been one of his most controversial decisions controversial promises made during the campaign maybe along with the promise to build the wall on the mexican border and. try to implement the travel ban just weeks after the officially became president he faced a lot of backlash she faced a lot of protests and legal action in fact this all went into the courts in march he had to revise the travel ban to accommodate you know all the things that the protesters and those protesting the ban have been saying but basically everybody was against it activists in the streets the media and the courts itself that the two federal courts overturned that ban and now the supreme court bar chile allows
1:03 pm
this to happen saying that visitors from six predominantly muslim countries like iran libya somalia sudan syria and yemen the ban on them could be enforced as long as they lack a credible claim of bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the united states and also the one hundred twenty day long ban on refugees will also be partially implemented now trump all along has been saying that the decision to protest this ban of hears and to fight this in court was cause not by legal reasons to believe the decision to the it was so you believe the judges need a situation. of their country does its thing and it's a very serious situation so we look forward as you just to see them it's a decision that will. in my opinion very easily in october second the supreme court will convene again to review the cases after the limited takes effect within seventy two hours from now and we'll see whether this will be upheld in the fall.
1:04 pm
british prime minister to resign may's conservative party has reached a deal with northern ireland's democratic party which will propped up a minority government. we have reached an agreement with the conservative party on support for a government in parliament this agreement will operate to deliver a stable government in the united kingdom's national interest at this time the tory government has promised to invest an additional one billion pounds in northern ireland and the greenman also see to resume a backtrack on a number of election pledges including reforms to pensions and benefits while the signing off at ten downing street has surprised some as the d p have backtracked on previous policies to see chalker breaks down the deal. it's been over two weeks now since this crash and burn snap election called by theresa may that took place on
1:05 pm
june eighth leaving the country with an unexpected hung parliament and now it looks like we do indeed have a deal between to reset may's conservative party and the democratic unionists of northern ireland in terms of what specifically has been agreed we do know that the g.o.p. have been promised one billion pounds within the next several years of financial support and one stepping stone that's been quite important and watch since we do know that the do you have been quite insistent on not being huge fans of a hard brags that we have heard now that they have agreed that an exit from the e.u. will benefit all parts of the u.k. of documents that they have released doesn't get into very much detail this is an agreement that so-called can feel confidence and supply which is a bit of a different format and even with the way that statements have been made on how this deal was reached we did see the do you peel leader speak separately there was no joint press conference so certainly we're just going to be waiting for theresa may
1:06 pm
to address this deal later on what everybody is happy about this is no position for the labor party is called the deal rages and an attempt to stay in power by throwing money northern ireland we've got reaction from two political analysts. i think it makes the obviously makes position more secure because with the do you pray they have a working majority of thirteen of course it only applies to confidence and supply matters government isn't going to get much of a legislative program through but that was over didn't in the thin nature of the queen's speech clearly the conservatives want to do in this triple locum pensions and they also want to means test the winter flow fuel allowance that is played to pensioners those particular promises and also the so-called dimentia tax the new social care policies rufo very unpopular with the electorate so in a sense it's save the conservatives what could have been a great deal of trouble with some of their own supporters who were very unhappy about these changes and it's going to make it more difficult for the conservatives to balance the books which they're having problems with anyway in terms of trying
1:07 pm
to reduce the budget deficit to a manageable level the people of northern ireland have a city been sold short or sold out you might say by the peak because actually that the deal that the deal here signed up to although it's got this you know immediately of one billion extra one billion pounds of extra investment in infrastructure health and education but it's at the expense of the long term interests of the people of northern ireland so even with the you piece of pork the government's majority is very slender and it's likely to wither away as over the over the course of the parliament well i'm all in favor of theresa may stepping down and she's been a disaster for the last i don't think any successor from the conservatives would have had any easier job of. negotiating some kind of supply and confidence arrangement with the u.p.a. or anyone else. meanwhile italy center right party has delivered a significant blow to the center left government in sunday's narrow elections they
1:08 pm
make gains in sixteen active twenty five k. mr palate season one of the biggest victories was in the northern port city of genoa which has been a traditional left wing stronghold for more than fifty years. charlotte dubin reports this looks like a resoundingly victory for center right parties and a big blow to the ruling democratic party which is the center left coalition now what we've seen in this is that many of the winners who were from center right parties were actually backed by a former prime minister silvio berlusconi very famous a man who was ousted from parliament back in two thousand and thirteen over a tax fraud conviction now what people are suggesting is that these results could see an overwhelming call for the center right parties to really unite into one party to be a force at that general election which i must take place before may of twenty eighteen now that comes after many voters say that they are disaffected and unhappy
1:09 pm
with the current government which is led by the democratic party that center left party and that's because of three main issues one of them is the migration of italy is seeing thousands of migrants coming into its shores mainly on areas like the island of lampedusa with people arriving from north africa and italy struggling to deal with that it's also been struggling to deal with a timid economy for many years it has a high rate of unemployment currently at around eleven or twelve percent and more than that its banking sector it's been in dire straits for many years bad debts in the banking center account for around a third of the total debt in the euro zone that's three hundred and fifty billion euros and just on sunday to further banks have to be bailed out yet again to the tune of more billions of euros and many people are unhappy about that so the suggestion is if somebody like silvio berlusconi can overturn his ban be able to
1:10 pm
run again for public office can reunite sort of the center right parties then we could see a dramatic shift in politics before the next year is over. the conflict in syria has seen a potentially dangerous new development with the israeli military bombing syrian government positions for the second time in as many days our middle east correspondent paula slee reports now from tel aviv. israelis claim that these strikes are in retaliation for cross border shelling from the syrian military earlier this morning monday they were again reports that idea of tanks had fired across the border after another round of mortar fire from syria landed in the israeli side of the golan heights but the israeli army has since said that these reports of foles however regarding the earlier two incidents of syrian shells landing in israel there's been no proof that in fact it was the syrian military that fired those shells damascus has said that its forces are currently battling terrorists in the area so there's no way to pinpoint exactly who fired the shells
1:11 pm
damascus has now accused israel of effectively providing cover for the terrorists by bombing the syrian military is one of course has been illegally according to the international community occupying the golan heights since one thousand nine hundred sixty seven israel's bombing of the syrian government forces comes just a week after the u.s. u.s. led coalition shot down as syrian military jet and manned drone u.s. officials often say that they like to lead by example and in this case it seems to apply to what israel is not doing when the united states and its allies target the syrian military with impunity and that of course stands a signal to other countries that they might be able to get away with the same kind of thing and as i mentioned the syrian government is fighting it out on the street terrorist near the border with israel well this might just be another example noting because russia has recently accused the u.s. of failing to target this very same terrorist group. we're still seeing
1:12 pm
a case of double standards from what we've seen in the fight against terrorism in syria were under the impression that these so-called. you know whatever it's called now is being speared on every occasion by the u.s. led coalition and its allies now russia hold its military cooperation in syria with a u.s. led coalition after the downing of that syrian fighter jet last week a. this latest escalation from israel's bombing of the syrian military is simply a slippery slope for this truly international conflict which is being fought on so soil. former u.s. diplomat jim truss thinks the timing of these really strikes on the syrian military is suspicious it's one thing for the israelis to say that they will protect their border that's lee because side the question what the status of the golan is the bigger question is this is there is there something more behind this then just the
1:13 pm
israelis responding to what they meant is an errant lending of syrian missiles on their side of the border the anti-government forces in syria are on the ropes that the the basques government is making great gains that there is concern to these terrorist forces by as we know saudi arabia qatar and these other countries with the silent backing of israel and of course the participation of the united states or are in big trouble and for these really what that means is that they are quite clear about this that they don't want to see forces allied with iran on their border particularly hizbollah and i think that's the real concern that they're expressing through this action whether it will grow into something major i don't know meanwhile the u.s. government's agenda in syria is coming under increasing scrutiny on capitol hill democratic will make a to see attempting to push a controversial bill through congress that would prevent washington from terrorists and their allies in syria however had trough is only attracted the support of
1:14 pm
fourteen other us. we must stop this madness we must stop arming terrorists i'm introducing the stop arming terrorist act today to prohibit taxpayer dollars from being used to support terrorists. the us congress went to expound on that at a conference in new york cold discourses on terrorism. i and many others are working hard to continue to build support for this legislation with the goal of getting it passed and ending this policy i think that there has been a concerted effort to both on the part of some in the media as well as many in politics and many in our foreign policy establishment who have been advocating for a continuance of these regime change wars really ignoring the fact of what has been the consequence of these wars in countries like iraq and libya and syria where each
1:15 pm
time we have these wars it has resulted in the strengthening of terrorist groups like al qaeda or the creation of isis and it has resulted in a tremendous amount of suffering and death from the people of these countries. violent clashes erupt in london after police there allegedly killed a black man have a closer look at that story plus of the stories to you in a couple of. here's what people have been saying about rejected a knighthood to us exactly just pull along awesome the only show i go out of my way to lunch you know a lot of the really packs a punch at least yampa is the john oliver of party americans do the same we are apparently better than food. and see people you never heard of love went back to the night my president of the world bank hate to tell me seriously send us an
1:16 pm
e-mail. all the feel we took. every the world should experience. and you'll get it on the old lol. the old according to josh. welcome to my world come along for the ride. hello again you with fourteen police officers were injured in london after a protest against police brutality turned violent the rally was held following the
1:17 pm
death of a black man after a traffic stop. reports. of . it all started last night but it carried on into the early hours of the morning and protesters here were throwing rate the mounted police station they were throwing a beer bottles as well and they were trying to access the building the reason they were so angry was they were demonstrating over the death of a twenty five year old local black man his name was federico holster locally he was
1:18 pm
known as ed said he was a comic cannick he was pulled over by police when he was in his car earlier this month and campaigners say he was brutally beaten some reports even that he may have died as a result of his neck being broken and he died in hospital six days off of that initial incident with the police so the protesters that we had last night set was saying that all they want to know is how mr de costa died take a listen. also if we can give you all says. their family members will cry you more will cry you should live. with a laugh you're taking away. a we're going to buy. if you don't think the police will do anything to. take. so many people are putting the police cover up the corruption who will prosecute nobody so really in truth we can we blame the public
1:19 pm
for being angry and upset but obviously this is a sensitive issue because we know that these things are happening. you know behind closed doors and many people are not getting to hear what's actually going on on the street the people say well you know it doesn't happen anymore racism is not like it was. it's still going on is happening just behind closed doors or the metropolitan police have said in a statement that as he was being detained mr de coster became well they've also been found that no police officer says has been suspended and every result of this incident with mr de costa the police sportstalk here in the u.k. is investigating what led to his death the independent police complaints commission and they've already said that in the initial post mortem carried out on mr de costa hasn't indicated that he died from spinal injuries. reporting russian investigators looking into the. metro bombing in. use
1:20 pm
a compass is used. to plan and carry out the atrocity kevin own went over the details with. the telegram messaging app is famous for its outstanding levels of privacy with all the encryption but the secret chats just to remind you almost three months ago a suicide bomber killed fifteen people in the st petersburg metro and the investigation into that got to the point when the russian federal security service are saying that at all stages of the preparation both the attacker and whoever assisted him in russia and abroad were using telegram another thing that they are saying is that telegram with all its encryption features has become the most widely used app by terrorist organizations in russia when it comes to messaging now just
1:21 pm
a little earlier russia's communications regulator zor said that it could be days away from blocking telegram russian authorities have demanded that the telegram team provide access to the chats and their crypto keys when and if needed to which the founder of said no and he also added that the privacy and the people's right to it is more important than the fear of terrorism the course is not just telegram there are others as well that a guest could conceivably be used by terrorists as well there's the general public that's got nothing to do with terrorism and genuinely really praised all the new features that these take this thing out now like telegram are offering with the new levels of privacy but the authorities are on high alert and they're absolutely not happy with these loopholes and perhaps that is justified because to research
1:22 pm
organizations have published at least one hundred reports of the hottest organizations using telegram in the past you were saying that there are other apps that are grading their encryption facilities like watson app developers of that got on. in the u.k. after the terrorist attacks in britain and that was criticism on a very high profile level we want companies to develop tools to identify and remove harmful materials automatically i want to see them report this file contents to the all storage is and block the uses to spread it there should be no place for terrorists to hide we need to make sure that organizations like whatsapp and there are plenty of others like that don't provide a secret place for terrorists to communicate with each other we need to make sure that our intelligence services have the ability to get into situations like encrypted whatsapp kevan but the great threat is still out there and since the number of terrorist attacks in europe has only been increasing i guess it is fair to say that the authorities failed to contain it and now they are saying that the
1:23 pm
only way for them to do it is get access to the chats and crypto keys so in the near future we are bound to hear more debate on that the usual thing security versus progress. well you earlier we spoke to that russian affairs analyst and historian martin mccauley and he tells us that russia is not the only country facing security issues with encrypted messaging services there's going to be an enormous amount of traffic on these apps which provide a certain level of security because you have the same thing in the united states with the f.b.i. tried to force. encryption keys to be revealed to them and the answer was no we're not going to do that because. a matter of privacy and secrecy the constitution guarantees privity of correspondence and so on and it's an extremely difficult area no country is really broken this code because the. jihad easy people can in fact send. messages like my mother my mother died last thursday
1:24 pm
and then you have the difficulty of working out what does that really mean so you may have an enormous amount of texts and so on which the authorities can look at because social media if you take. the e-mails and you take i phone and all the i phone messages they can all be intercepted worldwide and the americans french and to the same they do that the americans the russians do the same the chinese do the same. with the saving up next few lives that have being has changed in recent years and what lies ahead for it and if you're watching you stay with me or island it is time for the talk show it.
1:25 pm
seemed wrong but. just don't call. me. yet to shape out just being active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. with lawmakers manufacture consent to step into the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the crime. lifts and we don't want. to ignore middle of the room sick. leave.
1:26 pm
again on this edition of the program we focus on real news this time is the war in syria escalating if so who's driving it the latest in the qatar saudi arabia saga and so many have like an extended version of the. value other. than. our own sonar. tomorrow so it's all good the balls are going to be drawn over. there with the. girl is
1:27 pm
1:28 pm
the welcome to sophie and kill me sophie shevardnadze like much of the world that you is going through turbulent times massive immigration cracks a security threats rocking the very foundation of the. when the common challenges bring closer together or. were here add to your reign him media for us to not to discuss this and much more with the former your commission president. bush accident the rise of euro skepticism scaring european politicians into promises of reform while the downturn in relations with the west is making brussels think about a tighter union in europe but with so many different voices inside the bloc can it really pick a single direction or would it how will the powerhouses of the union bring the newer member states in line and will the powerful stronger integration lead the
1:29 pm
e.u. to new horizons or a complete break. plus one hundred virus so it's really great having you on our show today welcome to pleasure so that. when what's going on in european union right now i met quite a lot of european politicians officials and most of them are saying that maybe there are a little too much integration and maybe there is a bit of effect amongst the people about the integration so in your opinion if that's the case how should be moved forward without a consolidated. idea especially people are a little tired of it well among opinion as always being that we should try to avoid kind of. fundamental discussions of both the more europe or less europe we have to be prevented. there are areas where we need more integration.
