1:02 am
near to being even close to their competitors or so this is this is nothing else except black mail now these comments come after north korea lashed out against the u.s. the state run news agency didn't hold back in the least saying that there would be no bigger mistake than for the u.s. to think that they are safe across the ocean adding that washington will quote pay dearly for the latest wave of sanctions approved by the u.n. threatening retaliation one thousand times over now those new sweeping sanctions against the asian nation restrict the export of coal metals and food to other u.n. member states foreign investment in the country will also be blocked and it's estimated the sanctions will dent north korea's economy by one billion dollars per year for its part north korea sees the u.s. to be at fault for the deterioration of the situation on the korean peninsula. the root of the nuclear issue on the korean peninsula and the deterioration of the situation lies with the united states as long as the united states refuses to stop

its hostility and nuclear threats towards the tepee arche the d.p. or key will never bring the nuclear and ballistic missile program to the negotiating table reports also surface today that p.r. nyang has successfully produced a miniature eyes nuclear warhead that can be fit inside its missiles greatly expanding the threat posed by the country so the saber rattling continues to come from both sides escalating already sky high tensions and now trump has taken the dangerous stop of all but declaring war on north korea. in response to the threat furthermore south korea is now seeking permission from washington to develop more powerful ballistic missiles the current agreement with the us means the south can only develop missiles of the range of up to eight hundred kilometers with a maximum payload of a ton but on sunday south korea's leader us president trying to extend those parameters and the pentagon's indicated it is likely to agree to that so as temperatures rise and patients was thin more or more his some of the expert
1:04 am
reaction we've been hearing on where it may go what this can't be is an ego fight and right now what it felt like was a fight between trump on one side and kim on the other and to see who could make more outlandish statements and the fear is that if somebody flinches if somebody screws up there could be hundreds of thousands of dead people here this is a very real fight this is shockingly dangerous and the last thing we need to do is stand down and start bumping chests and talk about who is the bigger man i think the north koreans have put forth look we will stop our missile tests if you stop your war games we've been doing war games on that peninsula for fifty or sixty years from now so what good does it to walk away from that entry point into negotiations other than the fact that the united states simply does not want to really enter into negotiations i think that's been the roadmap for the way a nice states has conducted itself with adversaries throughout the last half
1:05 am
century with north korea it seems as if we are expecting them to put up so much for us without the united states putting up anything in this case. pulling back the war games is not a big concession because we can always just restart the war games. this morning wiki leaks is offering a job to a google engineer who was over an internal corporate memo the web joins moves spoke to debate over free speech in corporations the wiki leaks added to june the sun's accuse google of censorship and tweeted that it's not fair to far employees from freely expressing their thoughts and james dumbell was. sending a memo criticizing google's diversity policies is both says say that breached their code of conduct colored mopin next looks into what was in the. in corporate boardrooms across america the buzz word is meritocracy ideology isn't supposed to
1:06 am
matter employees are supposed to be hired judged and promoted based on their skills and ability however at the high tech firm known as google seems to be straying from this free market ideal and now employees can be fired if they step away from the liberal social justice party line they recently fired an employee and sent out this memo portions of the memo violate our code of conduct and crossed the line by advancing harmful gender stereotypes in our workplace so what is it that he said what stereotypes was he promoting well here are the fatal words i'm simply stating that the distribution of preferences in the pollutes men and women differ in part due to biological causes and that these differences may explain why we don't see equal representation of women in tech and leadership now those are fighting words as far as some people are concerned and the guy is not going to win any popularity contests to be fair by having a top employee make comments like this google opens itself up to the danger of
1:07 am
lawsuits and allegations of discrimination in hiring but is there an ideological criteria for working at google let's take a look at where some of this thought crime logic leads. google won't fix john with unconscious bias training when they keep employing people who are proud all of their conscious bias honestly if no one is fired over this google should just admit the commitment to women is window dressing now such practices aren't all that different from the comrade court trials that took place during the time of the soviet union in workplaces these practices were said to be deeply un-american or even totalitarian you know the hope it doesn't have that that would be if it actually did is the other way the way your ship you know somebody if you don't think you will see that the article is publicly supported by many people internally that's the question how many privately supports agree subscribed there are many people who google who share this guy's views they do pit performance reviews and
1:08 am
interview people they discriminate yes the usa heralds itself as the land of the free and the home of the brave but on certain college campuses in silicon valley and in other parts of the country there's an atmosphere brewing where if you have the wrong political opinions or cultural views there can be very harsh consequences . r.t. new york has more reaction beginning to google's move. this fellow who wrote the memo he will never work in a normal corporation or a big corporation ever again in america what kind of idiot would decide. google to basically slam diversity to refer to women in particular most of descriptions which might under some. interpretation of human behavior might be considered all valid but to others patently offensive what is google supposed to do the memo in fact most people reporting on it never read it
1:09 am
the people criticizing it i read it it was quite sound quite sane it was temperate he even said that nothing in this memo means that we should respect everybody we should respect everybody and then google went around and fired him and showed him that the left does not respect anybody who has independent thought what he staggered was basically one interpretation that women were inferior. based upon a variety of reasons that rationale which to him i'm sure makes sense and by the way he may be now the darling of the right right the libertarian right whatever you want to call them when you don't have actual evidence that your being the victim of sexism but you want to believe a victim and become a victim then you find evidence whether it's not the problem is not that we don't understand what the problem is that this is a sensitive to people what google then has to do is address the other workers as it were to me i must fended by this do you endorse this.

russian lawyer at the center of the collusion scandal with donald trump has been giving more details about the pressures she faces from the president's opponents and the u.s. media now you may recall last month. was dragged into the rubble of a claims that russia interfered in the u.s. election over a meeting with the president. we all know her name now and tell us about sky talia vessel and it's natalia vessel needs sky and italia the sound of sky up natalia vessel night sky i. have to wake up one morning and find you know the focus all through all the fire and kin up stream media. i don't know what if it turns out it was nothing to tell us and it's goes been speaking exclusively and in depth to us it ought to be about how the mainstream
1:11 am
media has handled this this story. my story has nothing to do with politics i did not really care who would be in power the republicans or democrats i do not care about how the situation is unfolding today mine was a human story it had nothing to do with politics i was really amazed at how the us media machine operates on july eighth the new york times sent me a request for comment they asked me to reply to a list of questions i was surprised by many questions relating to the trump jr meeting i was not even able to recall the exact date because it seemed like a poncing meeting it did not lead anywhere there was no outcome so i sent a detailed reply to the new york times and surprisingly in their post on july eighth they only publish small extracts from my statement only what they needed now that same piece looks completely different on their website it has been thoroughly revised there is a huge difference from the original article that was published on july eighth to me
1:12 am
it looks like an orchestrated story the whole scandal over my meeting with donald trump jr has been carefully orchestrated and blown out of proportion we have come so close to the truth of how russian budget funds were stolen in that affair i just happened to be on the front line so to speak and i challenge mr brown to publicly he invented all of this he and nobody else he and his team set it all up it is extremely difficult to find a small to medium manipulator than bill browder. american flouncy bill browder emerged as the central player in the scandal between the tally of a slit scar on donald trump jr and even testified before a u.s. senate committee least state department e-mails revealed that broder had long been gathering information and personal details about personally she believes he then ramped up his public vendetta after losing a lengthy court battle three months ago against a russian only real estate firm in cyprus which she was representing he accuses of
1:13 am
money laundering but the case was settled at the cup and the firm was cleared as you can imagine i am so but i think that brad himself is a pawn in someone's hands because this story has proven to be gold for so many it was gold five years ago when he made the very first russia sanctions act happened and his gold now especially now is gold for the present day tabloids from politics and the mass media with anti truck frenzy. reporting next this morning for you turkey is gearing to open its largest overseas military base in the african country of somalia but it might not get a warm welcome from some of the other nations have already got a presence there deraa chewed or explain somalia's attraction to foreign militaries these days. the horn of africa has seen a surge in foreign military bases china has agreed to open its first there and it's capturing the imagination of film directors on the big screen. they say violence never solves anything. be sure it's fun to.
1:14 am
let you know you might not. one hot spot is djibouti it's currently housing americans japanese and french troops but it's not the only country welcoming foreign militaries turkey is due to open its largest overseas military base in somalia the united arab emirates are in somalia to after they agreed a thirty year lease for a base in the self-proclaimed state of somaliland so the burning question is why why the influx what are they doing there to confront terrorism and piracy working with central command to ensure that the civilian shipping lines have not lax their security to a point that terrorists will not enjoy good food is it helping well the problem still remains peristyle attacks ordinated attack underway in the somali capital of
1:15 am
mogadishu there have in the last month been four five maybe six. attacks here in the region military spokesperson says if you are a service member has been killed in somalia for the first time a new bloodshed in somalia a car bomb exploding near a police station a recent example saw a luxury cruise ship or the holiday makers to switch off lights and refrain from playing music for ten days due to the threat of pirates in the region so the question is why such a significant increase in military presence. africa affairs expert johnson believes the world powers attorney the concert into the latest theater of military confrontation now with seeing africa again being the center ground for the new verge of a proxy war i would call it because all these different countries which are finding the military bases on the african is a huge worry china who is already having a military base of its own excuses that it's all timidity wants to protect its own

i get a very good morning for me and all the volleys being fired in the increasingly frosty relations between the u.s. and iran president rouhani a warning donald trump now against committing political suicide by trying to undermine the iran nuclear deal. those who intend to up the nuclear deal have to know that they will tear up the scroll of their own political life by doing that. donald trump's now about a good word to say about the iran nuclear deal recently there's been reports that his administration is reviewing whether or not to withdraw all agreement. it is a total and complete catastrophe it's one of the most incompetent contracts. but despite the u.s. presence claims there's been little evidence that iran is not complying fulfilled its commitments to ship enrich uranium to russia as well as mothballing centrifuges and removing the coal from a reactor would get
1:19 am
a reaction from iranian m.p.'s. then with me he's got the islamic republic of iran will not be the first to violate the deal the trumpet ministration is trying to push your own to do this but they will not succeed iranian parliament will issue a statement confirming iran's commitment to the joint comprehensive plan of action but if the other side violates the deal we will act accordingly we will continue to remain fully compliant then americans have always violated international agreements not just the nuclear agreement trump spoke of many things during his presidential campaign and what he says now is totally different to what he said back then. joris coming along can't limit republic of iran has announced it quickly recently reining in which means if the us violates the joint comprehensive plan of action and would reach a higher grade uranium enrichment for this. it's not difficult for iran to restart
1:20 am
iranian and richmond to high green remain committed to the nuclear deal and so far the americans are doing the same but if they cease to comply we will change our course and return to where we were before the recent. for the families really within the next few days who will give a firm response in parliament to the new unilateral sanctions from the u.s. . elsewhere the smaller the red cross is going to expressing alarm over the number of civilians in yemen being killed in air strikes a country even under constant aerial bombardment from the saudi led coalition for more than two years now in a battle against antigovernment who is the rebels there the medical charity echoes the un's concern over the deadly air raid this sloss saturday. that the laws of armed conflict to being breached in yemen and that civilians are paying too heavy a price disturbing videos emerged of the strike to show the bodies of one family
1:21 am
being removed from the rubble please be warned are about to show you some upsetting video. that local leaders say at least nine people died in the attack six of them children. over the rebel stronghold and. when asked to comment on the strike the saudi coalition replied saying it does not target civilians middle east spokesperson for the red cross though told us the situation is nonetheless getting worse. what we noticed is just very disturbing trend put it past months in the military and seem not to make the difference between the indicted and military targets going into the laws of armed conflict parties at work have to meet utmost efforts to make sure that their guy getting legitimate military objectives and not to be homes or markets here i would also like to remind the audience about the degree but could it be the meat that's

race rose broke out over a b.b.c. t.v. cartoon about roman britain which is split view is actually pitted to stories against one another too it's because the programme depicts a black high ranking roman soldier just what a man needs after working hard for the roman empire pays tax is the roman empire good question well we're part of it here you cannot rewrite history based on today's values you got to rewrite history the way it was history should be more like other electoral pursuits. outside look at outside the moral domain or outside whatever value system describe things the way they were statistically these are historical realities the problem we have is there are certain political interests
1:24 am
which are looking to divide communities which are looking to push back the idea and the ideals of multiculturalism that we have different contributing populations different contributing demographics within broader society well two scientists in particular have been trading barbs over this historian mary beard insists the cartoons portrayal is accurate citing firm evidence but statistician nassim nicholas taleb you saw earlier is not convinced. professor pitt is a renowned cambridge scholar said the cartoon character was loosely based on a governor of roman britain with beliefs of an african descent nassim taleb though says her understanding is flawed even if you have a character from far away it is not representative and you shouldn't brainwash children ok plus the other thing is she doesn't seem to understand that people around the mediterranean at the time look very similar think should be bottom up
1:25 am
good fences make good neighbors we should be globalist but let's not be universalist to the point of ignoring people's national identity or things that they value but the cli if the way you do it goes against artistical series. eight twenty five the big story of the day the ramping up of the war of words between the united states and north korea were across two. scoops of interview though with the russian lawyer in the team. this morning thank you for watching this.
