12:31 pm
a headscarf it's going big in the u.k. and the u.s. . has nothing to do with oppression it's a feminist statement but many men and men had to be women this piece of clothing is the very epitome of oppression but then there's also the no head job movement the one that condemns muslim headscarves as a form of oppression it's especially relevant in iran right now where women are being arrested for costing off that dale and the anti hejab brigade is outraged. have you know john. burns the current. but if you thought religious

dress was a minefield or simply that it doesn't apply to you be aware because language is getting political too in case you weren't ofay with the new rules using the word mankind is kind of a photo par that's precisely what the canadian prime minister justin trudeau tried to explain to a female journalist who used the word in a question to him little did he know that an even bigger if opar no matter how much of a feminist you are is mansplaining to a woman that she shouldn't be using the word mankind but don't worry the internet told him maternal love is the love that's going to change the future of mankind so we're like you to look what we're going to see people kind not necessarily mankind .

there's lots of consecutive years of famine this is a man by. the . iraqi. people coming. but what about formula one bosses who presumably thought they were acting in an in lightened and pursed weinstein manner when they fired all their grid girls those are the promotional models who traditionally adorn the racetrack those who support the ban say that being a pit babe object of eyes and sexualizes women but try telling that to the grid
12:34 pm
girls many of whom are more than upset and trying to think up a new profession i've never had even the slightest hint of feeling exploited. i've wanted to be there i worked hard to get they paid me well to do the job i saw my outfit before i agreed to do it i knew i was wearing i knew what was expected of me the world has gone completely mad. i don't see a problem with promotional work at all we all do it by choice and we're not forced into the work and all girls apply for the job it seems these days you can't put a foot right perhaps all the hashtags could now be replaced with one much less binary one something like freedom to choose. today at the body of russian military pilots remand filippo of was brought to his

12:39 pm
a large cash injection from an american billionaire but the full story for you after this short break stay with us. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the it's your position just pull on awesome the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that really packs a punch oh yeah it is the john oliver of party america is doing the same we are apparently better than food. and see people you never heard of love redacted the night president of the world bank so take. it seriously send us an e-mail.
12:40 pm
welcome back campaign to reverse the bricks that photo has received a hefty boost from american business magnate george soros best the britain has confirmed he donated almost hall for a million pounds through his foundation. george soros foundations have along with a number of other major donors also made significant contributions to our work indeed through his foundations he has contributed four hundred thousand pounds he's
12:41 pm
funding is one among many sources. let's get more details now from an associate check not to what do we know what this money will go towards exactly. well that mickey indeed quite a hefty sum seems to have been contributed by the american billionaire george soros to the anti brecht's that cause really now this group that he contributed the money to is called best for britain their pro-u. lobbying group and their main idea is not even support for a soft brags that they want to see a second referendum one of their key ideas is lead not leave the e.u. and they work to try to target public opinion as well as n.p.'s who have potential influence in the process the group was co-founded by gina miller who at one point took the u.k. government to court over the issue of triggering article fifty and one and despite the group saying that these contributions from george soros are not as significant as the amount of the total amount they've seen from the smaller donations made to
12:42 pm
them privately it seems to be really clear that four hundred thousand pounds is a bit of a bigger amounts than say for example the seventy three p. that facebook said russia had spent around the time of the referendum on bracks it and just staying with the issue of influence we do know that the u.k. is about to see a launch of a new anti bracks it renew party which is reported to be supported from across the channel with french m.p.'s from emmanuelle michael's on last movement not only being an inspiration and supporting this idea but also reportedly giving advice to this movement. we don't have much time the only way of winning is by the same miracle as michael. so it seems possible that sometimes the sources of influence are a little bit different from the ones that so many people seem to be hell bent on believing
12:43 pm
as the source of interference from abroad and i stitch i can now speaking live from london i thank you for those details. when a video has surfaced online showing young children in libya staging a mock execution. but no. no. no. no no. no no. no. the boys in poverty portably under the age of nine they appear to be mimicking a real life execution which happened in benghazi this january in that video which we are unable to show you a gunman is seen shooting blindfolded prisoners in front of a mosque where a deadly bombing had just taken place. well our panel of guests have contrasting theories on the story and the trauma experienced by children growing up in
12:44 pm
a war say. what we see now is just a mocking video actually seen actual videos where children has been used to behead people in syria and in iraq and iraq as well we heard stories when terrorist groups using the young people to spy on their families the individuals that are actually carrying out terrorist attacks and in particular suicide attacks often have been escaping chaotic lives that actually that the with what we call extremists material it doesn't happen until many years down the line you know and often substance misuse was a big problem and if we understand that the reasons that people engage in substance misuse is because of childhood trauma and if we understand that if we've got a large number of young guys children who have experience that kind of trauma what could they is it possibly be partially a clue for who they started out or not the whole truth the root cause is not that
12:45 pm
you know first of all if you look into the history of islamist terrorism recently in a country where i was mauled by like this you will see most of the terrorist attacks in the capital of dark i was carried out by youths who in fact came from affluent families they had a very good life in fact they were brainwashed by this islamist terrorism not only by videos but by theological understanding of it and when it comes to children children are not being able to be children because of the upbringing they are getting because they are of the islamic extremist ideology it in fact denies you of any kind of creation that children can will need to grow up all that happens in all the culture is not right now or some of the occasion in some countries. the younger kids on radicalization only extremism. right from the so we that's what we call in for. regulation to prevent such
12:46 pm
a behavior either on online videos or watching you know we have to regulate the education curriculum some of the countries require to be looked into and see how the education curriculum is being taught in schools. well get in touch and say your thoughts by following r t on social media what about the latest headlines in just over thirty minutes see that. despite its title and history the soviet union i know has dominated international sport however this is not about the lives of those champions from the. sort of you don't got the. right man that you were number with this it that. you want to build there with the bin gordon if you're going to do with your brother this guy who is for the lord your god what are those shoes the first would be
12:47 pm
reserved for your you were the first soviet a limb picked team of nine hundred fifty two with the polluted seats of ifas concentration camp prisoners and front line soldiers for their first baby in the us it's good to go there with your shoes because you are much motivation for her because you're working for you and for the one for their show forward to get out of this with you if you think that we're going to. be very sure of your question over through personal bursting into shows you will open a new door when you're at the national mourning period that in your world the workers sure we are in the world for your guys you know can we.
12:48 pm
greetings and sal you take. from the balloons to the marching bands to the elaborate floats and maybe the occasional creepy clown or two who here doesn't love a good parade you know who else loves a good parade apparently the president of the united states one donald j. trump yes the washington post and others are now reporting that the brand name in chief has asked the pentagon's top brass for a big time military parade like like the kind the nation of france features every year on steel day according the post they have begun planning a grand a military parade later this year showcasing the might of america's armed forces this would mark a pretty significant change here of the motif here in washington d.c. which has not seen the likes of this since just after the first iraq war back in one thousand nine hundred ninety one when close to nine thousand soldiers in the weapons of war were celebrated for their. victory in the gulf they lived to save
12:49 pm
many congressional democrats and some critics were livid and crying dictator senator dick durbin the democrat my joint minority whip out illinois told the media that trump's parade would be a fantastic waste of money to amuse the president and retired general paul eaton a senior advisor to both told the guardian quote unfortunately we do not have a commander in chief right now as much as we have a want to be banana republic strong man. but you don't want to talk watchers you know what i'm all for this parade the bigger the better i'm i'm talking full on huge massive parade nuclear missiles predator drones apache gunships and the entire lockheed martin dance team let's truly put on a display and let the american people see the massive ugly violent power that trillions upon trillions of their hard earned tax dollars have paid for and the thousands upon thousands of children and families living in places that we don't
12:50 pm
like to talk about it parties have had to live in fear of. ra ra sis boom bang star watching the hawks. this is. it would be. as if you were the bottom. of. the day like you and i got. this. one of them on the watch for the hearts of the tyrol the answer and joining me today to talk popcorn parades and bombs is conservative commentator steve malzberg steve always a pleasure thanks for having me great to be here so i got to ask where do you sit on the parade issue the dominated the talk waves you know will it end up being this
12:51 pm
kind of self aggrandizing display of mill of their military fetishism or the you know the heartfelt unifying display of respect for current and former u.s. military personnel were it where you said well i think it's it's a great thing i mean donald trump loves the military i don't think anybody can doubt that even the media which you know despises every time he opens his mouth can't question his love for the military and i think this is his way of honoring the military as the white house has said i mean he was that the steel day in france as you alluded to he saw the displays saw the fanfare the pageantry the honor and he you know was in fact weighted with it you want to bring that to our military here now. to what for those who want to read into this that he's this is a dictator wannabe baba blah it does it doesn't matter what they say because even
12:52 pm
today when they reached a budget deal in the senate both party leaders praised the military be. because the budget will address the military needs and expenses and the budget both of them schumer and mcconnell heaped lavish praise on the military like it or not the military is loved and adored and respected by i don't know ninety five percent of this country and believe it i believe it's actually about seventy two percent or so who have faith in that institution where all the other institutions like congress and even the presidency in the media are down around like ten but they are going to be great this is going to be quick on this is going to be great i mean you know that those who want to be negative about it will always be negative about it but i see nothing wrong with this let me ask you this based on our last kind of military parade which was you know all the way back first iraq war drums parade counting inflation and i think i saw numbers around you know early twenty million dollars or
12:53 pm
somewhere in that range twenty twenty four million and and that is the big criticism coming from congressional democrats is that you know it's wasting money but steve isn't that rather how we say rich given that most mainstream trump resisting democrats in congress routinely vote to pour money into the black hole of spending that is the pentagon i mean currently the u.s. military budget twenty eight thousand eight hundred twenty four point six billion twenty million for a parade seems kind of like a drop in the bucket compared to what they constantly vote i mean if any be military program comes along it's like here throw money at it. well i disagree with your characterization of throwing money into a black hole i think it's whatever it takes to support our military and give us the defense that we need. i'm all for it and i think again most of the nation sold for it i find that it's rich to use your. term there because this so much waste in social programs waste and fraud and abuse and they're crying over what is
12:54 pm
a drop in the bucket in terms of the overall us spending of this country a few million to honor our military i think they're being very selective in their outrage i would agree but i disagree i think the we could use some accounting at the pentagon a little bit better than we have a mean just kind of throwing money over there is you know you have to have proper accountability there and oh i'm with you i'm going to enrich spend more money on our military than what the next six seven eight countries combined i think that we could actually look and say you know maybe maybe it is lockheed martin and boeing and all the others kind of bilking the public trough and putting in the hey this hammer needs to cost eight million but you know this hammer needs the cost seven hundred dollars compared to the four ninety five that we pay for let me ask you this republican congressman justin amash tweeted i'm all for a parade of parts to celebrate bringing our young men and women home from these unauthorized wars overseas steve i want to ask you are are we not risking the honor
12:55 pm
and safety of our servicemen and women by continuing these seemingly endless wars that congress has not authorized or is using like you know there was a map from way back in the bush days shouldn't we do that proper procedure to to give the soldiers respect to say here these are the proud we're given your full authorization to go fight these wars or we're taking you home and getting out of harms way. well i think of us those who are there they would say that they're there are appropriate circumstances they belong there they believe in the mission and i think what donald trump has done to make our troops safer has taken the handcuffs off of our men and women in places like afghanistan and they can now defend themselves and not have to have rules of engagement that are worse and more restrictive that police officers have in this country in a war zone so i think down shop has got a long way and making our men and women safer i don't think any of the people who are there voluntarily view themselves as being an illegal war in an illicit war
12:56 pm
or that they shouldn't be lastly you know it seems to me the military parades especially in washington and the folks that usually put them on are less about honoring soldiers and veterans that might be what they kind of put up on the you know on the banner and more about kind of cleaning the conscience i believe of many of the washing of money in washington especially defense contractors think tanks and politicians who pound the drum a war all the time whether we need to pound it or not are these parades really all about the photo op rather than than the actual care especially when it comes to politicians and honoring our soldiers you know they get up there shake their hand but then forget about veterans for the rest of the year well like you said we haven't had one since one thousand nine hundred one so how this one will work out in its aftermath i don't know and plus is going to be a nightmare of logistics because even some of the tanks that we would roll off. with concrete the streets can't maintain or survive the weight of the tanks so i
12:57 pm
don't know how they get to work that but look again we're going to bring up infrastructure actually like a really big redo our infrastructure we can the right of the abrams down the street but i believe that donald trump. and the congress has got a long way veterans are going to have if they don't already have a choice of health care or not just have to go to v.a. hospitals so donald trump is. reaching out to veterans in many many ways and i don't think there's anything nefarious about this at all he wants to honor the military bring them the respect that he thinks they deserve and the pageantry because yes at heart he is a showman in addition to everything else and i don't think there's anything evil intended here whatsoever about think that we might disagree on a lot of things but the end of the day we will agree on taking care of the bedrooms you come home and you guy can do a lot better than just parades good good spreading the thank you as always to you for coming on my pleasure. well hark watchers according to the old saying only two things in our lives are certain and that would be death and taxes but after decades
12:58 pm
of deliberation we can probably i dare say tragically add another war chaos and bloodshed in the middle east yes despite many attempts at grand bargains and many more attempts at quick and easy regime change solutions that we've been sold it is safe to say that violent turmoil is tragically guaranteed for the region's inhabitants probably ranking them certainly slightly below death in a few steps above while in force tax code the turmoil continues as donald trump's entry into the world stage in an increasingly confident israeli government seek to impose their terms and neighboring syria and lebanon along with the palestinians are poised as ever to push back some of the ground for some on the ground coverage we go to are to use on your part one tel aviv israel. israel's northern border with lebanon may not be the only friend to experience a military escalation in the near future just down the coast from where i'm standing here in tel aviv the gaza strip is currently experiencing an unprecedented
12:59 pm
humanitarian crisis in fact israeli army chief of staff got caught warned this week that situation has the potential to boil over into all out war this is the view apparently shared by hamas leadership which recently determined that scenario has a ninety five percent chance of playing out. however hardline israeli defense minister avigdor lieberman has said there is no humanitarian crisis in gaza suggesting he doesn't plan to address it at all i spoke with renowned israeli journalist and columnist at haaretz gideon levy about the prospects for war. there the history teaches us that israel is going to war every four or five six years this is a matter of food and is it always finds the excuse for another war and always covered up with all kinds of existential threats and. the fact
1:00 pm
that this war is inevitable and then when we analyze it we see another war of choice and another war of choice and they gain the mystic politics was the main motivation people so these repeats of. how does having donald trump in the white house impact the situation here. he really put an end to the masquerades he declared officially the united states is the support of the israeli occupation without any limits israel has the full confirmation to go crazy to go viral or to continue. and maybe even to annex the. wall light shine brightly behind me in the metropolis of tel aviv the u.n. warned today that in the coastal enclave of gaza which israel holds under siege fuel
