the russians fussed. well the us previously showed concern over alleged on the water wiretapping by the russians in twenty fifteen but then it was claimed moscow might be plotting to sever the lines during so-called periods of conflict no evidence however was put forward by either washington or london international affairs commentator jonathan steele say britain is using threats real or imagined to avoid cutbacks to its armed forces. it is an old allegation i mean two years ago already u.s. officials in the pentagon in washington were making exactly the same claims i mean it's just part of the new technology that's available to. countries like russia and the united states and britain part of the sort of hybrid. capabilities which everybody seems to be developing. sort of riots hybrid war. forces and armies always trying to get more money there was against cuts so

anything that helps them put forward what they think is a strong argument will try and use of course i mean we know that. one hundred seventy one the united states managed to tap a secret underwater curveball in the sea of the hearts of the serviette nuclear forces to find out what soviet nuclear probabilities in intentions were so this is a very old technology. the story of a meeting between a russian lawyer and don't all trumps the sun was all across the media earlier this year the telly vessel needs sky was portrayed as a kremlin agent even though she repeatedly denied any such links well last month the lawyer was asked to respond to questions from a us senate committee eventually wrote to the senators that donald trump jr was seeking evidence of illegal donations to the clinton foundation when she said she
4:06 pm
had no such evidence he apparently lost interest in the conversation vestal nice guy believes trump misunderstood the nature of the meeting she expected the senate committee to publish her written testimony but that never happened so she handed it to the us media eventually skya told us more about the controversial meeting. because look i'm just mia so this summer it dawned on me why mr trump had decided to meet with me in person and why he decided to meet a soldier it's all linked to e-mails from mr gold's to some incriminating information just look at the e-mail that got the attention of the president's son it was sent on june third and this is the latter that the congressman questioned me about if this e-mail paints the whole picture of the spy drama that's been unfolding since july and the first part of the letter goldstone writes the crown prosecutor of russia has information that would incriminate hillary and his dealings with russia and you will receive this is part of russia government support
4:07 pm

4:09 pm
a result of that the security services came down and forcibly removed them pushing them up the steps and away from this area so the tensions still remain there bubbling not just under the surface but over the surface people incredibly unhappy by that decision by dawn from move that a week ago now on the latest develops of that we've heard also that snooki and lebanon have decided that they are going to open embassies for palestine here in east jerusalem that comes off the back of that extraordinary meeting that was held in istanbul just a few days ago where it was announced by the organization of islamic cooperation that they would recognize east jerusalem as being the official capital of palestine in direct contradiction from what the usa did more than a week ago by recognizing to resell them as being the capital of israel therefore the tension still remain and it seems though it's not just a tension here between israelis and palestinians but this is
4:10 pm
a tension that's now expanding to many other countries. in the world. when the charlotte mentioned there are protests in solidarity with the people of palestine are being held all around the world in jordan's capital crowds demonstrated on its side the u.s. embassy after friday prayers while in lebanon hundreds of people gathered outside the u.n. building waving palestinian place. where protests have been raging in gallons as well one march was largely peaceful but saw the protesters burn us on this relief lines and elsewhere in gaza those local journalists and reports things turned violent in the we are still on the freezone and tensions are freezing there israeli army are throwing tear gas bombs as you can see actually raids of tear gas bombs they're also throwing live bullets we can hear the live bullets. as you can see. bombs are fanning the flames people are running.

children maybe it is time for more girls to be scientists and engineers and t.v. ads are seen by millions of people and if it goes a little way towards maybe giving girls a chance to think about other opportunities maybe it is not a bad idea. goes all scientists are kind of don't get how people can say oh maybe we ought to try and encourage and i don't see what's wrong with a child that is drawn to i mean it's a predisposition whether we like it or not the children often drawn to toys that are there preferential which are boys go to boys toys girls go to girls toys is just the way it is but i don't know the bunny now is going to create the next scientist i think if you want to create scientists they have an education it's called to do that and there's nothing wrong with that but i think that the whole i remember now with nicholas lyndhurst where nicholas lynn the played the part of. all the characters male and female cleaning cooking tidying up playing with the

children built in the train say i don't remember anybody being offended at all it certainly didn't offend me and i remember watching it growing up as a kid kate is this really the responsibility of regulators to make such decisions if a company is using outdated stereotypes to promote a product surely that's not what will turn off consumers and will feel on the market why does the state have to get involved with all this. well it's not really a question of what message consumers are picking up it's really a question of what message why does society is picking up you know advertisers are obviously influencing us advertisements didn't influence us they wouldn't bother putting them out but the fact is you watch those adverts and you think i want to drink that fizzy drink i want to drive in that car i want to own those toys those pieces of home equipment that furniture advertises are there to influence us and always saying really is that we know young people are hugely influenced by what
4:15 pm
