it's a change. this is a limited sovereignty it's a piece of democracy there is a way brussels hasn't shied away from warning the new italian government against dissipating the rulebook and it looks like it's got its way no matter what the tally in voters want it and when has that happened before oh yes back in two thousand and five a referendum was held on whether or not to adopt a european constitution here in france as well as in the netherlands voters rejected the idea yet despite that clear unease that pushed ahead well branding it as the lisbon treaty three years later which contained many of the changes the constitution had attempted to introduce but this time the majority of the public didn't have a say because parliament simply ratified it island the only e.u. member which stuck with the referendum rejected this in treaty but that was so

didn't go down well with brussels but i believe we should not rush to conclusions believe the truth is alive and we should now try to find a solution and despite a clear fifty three percent no vote the irish will back at the polls just sixteen months later for what must have felt like day finally they got the answer it was looking for yes they're here across the street jump for joy what about greece the mediterranean country drowning in a sea of its own it's voters decisively rejected the terms of an international bailout in two thousand and fifteen silly business i would like to say that the greek people made a historic and brave choice to respond to the existing john logan europe but democracy worked in an unexpected way despite the greeks saying no to a sturdy. government eventually did agree to

a painful bailout plan but what about the dutch who rejected plans by the e.u. to sign an association agreement with ukraine back in two thousand and sixteen. the accord cannot just be ratified we have to take into account this no vote well despite that brussels went ahead and did it only way so while many in the may vote against the blocs plans it seems that the e.u. prefers to have its own way with god less the elite made a decision and now sixty to seventy years ago that nine hundred fifty four you know this started the whole thing was the european union and there is nothing you can do against the european union is it's gotten it's got nothing to do with democracy it's not it's not decided but there's no european people european union worries as

part of the governments of the e.u. governments you know they get together they make the solutions and i don't think there's even a. democratic spirit behind it you know. this is what we leave eliezer it's not we the people. in the u.k. bricks at supporters and all claiming that there's a secret plot to keep the country in the european union after it most of the government has set aside money for next year's eve parliamentary election but officials say the money is only there in case of an emergency it's a precautionary measure so that we have the necessary funds to deliver our functions as a european parliamentary election in the unlikely event that they do go ahead. elections for the european parliament will take place next may two months after the u.k. is supposed to have left the e.u. yet the u.k. has put aside some eight hundred thousand pounds for those elections it's been

almost two years since british voters narrowly chose to leave the e.u. since then the negotiations between london and brussels have encountered numerous stumbling blocks including over the irish border and while those still no solution that satisfies all sides the e.u. says it needs more clear proposals from the british prime minister. we want an ambitious partnership with the united kingdom but for that we need realistic proposals from the u.k. and the garage nation cannot be a game of hide and seek one at downing street spokesperson said that tourism a is simply trying to get the best possible deal for both sides but marco parker a member of the european parliament for the probe u.k. independence party says the british people have been left frustrated. the british people have voted for this referendum have full expectancy to leave we're frustrated with our government being so slow in their negotiations you know we we find it very annoying very upsetting that they seem to be so slow every time i

think they've come to brussels brussels perhaps asked for something more and i'm afraid our government appear to be full of capitulation and they appear not not to be putting the british people first think this is a load of nonsense and i think if you were to put this back two years and say that would be at this position people would say. so they need to sort themselves out but i do think the british public are getting very very fed up with this lack of moving forward. israel's parliament is now discussing a new law which would ban the filming of soldiers and those behind the veil say the video of the i.d.f. activities can be used to damage the israeli army's reputation well the idea is frequently accused of using excessive force or something.

these amateur videos i think should lay an aspect of the conflict that might otherwise not get brought up in the public debate here in israel and it's very important that we have that debate on the conflict the building clued some tough measures for example for photographing i.d.f. soldiers with the intention of undermining spirit one can get jailed for five years if the intention there was to harm state security the maximum sentence is ten years and we discussed the proposed law with several experts who say it goes against freedom of speach. this is an absurd piece of populist legislation just meant to limit the constrain the freedom of speech and freedom of protest in israel

something that contradicts the founding principles of this country and by the way this is very hypocritical as well because members of the right whenever settlers are evacuated they also filmed i.d.f. soldiers this is a time honored tradition in this country and this legislation goes against that value of life we do freeing the. soldier. poorly they cannot. you can never take them to cold you cannot go into figures there and they think this is this is. me i'm against this law for this legislation because you know when you don't allow people to take pictures of sort of gels and starts it was thought to be you're still the for the more free speech then you've moved we've been taking photos all for the cement or whatever this is their democracy. but let's go back to our developing story for you here we're not see

from belgium where two police officers on the possibly have reportedly been killed in a shooting at sea while the policeman reportedly sustained injuries at the attack apparently took a woman hostage at a local high school. gunshots could be there on the video appeared online purportedly showing the area of the attack gunfire could be according to local sources the attack opened fire off the police tried to check his i.d. and then reportedly tried to escape and entered a nearby school the city's mayor says the attack of bush shot dead by police in this situation is stable now and the motives behind the assault were field as of yet. we are back in just. going to buy a lot more stuff from the u.s. and that. is having a fact i mean is that weighing into the. president has done that i can

recall usually they just pay. for the bass so he's actually getting into the details of trade deals. i've been saying the numbers. they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars and. more than ten. percent. of the bridge six percent market thirty percent of your home with four hundred five hundred three first. twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars. but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember one one. for the one.

hundred twenty plus right now here one. seven hundred mexican children have been taken from their parents or the u.s. border with mexico since. that's according to a new office of refugee resettlement report and the issue has sparked public concern the people now accusing donald trump and his administration of violence in particular this image of small kids caged on sleeping on the floor caused shock waves and went viral it was assumed it showed the harsh consequences of tom's policies towards mexican's however in reality it has nothing to do with trumpet. all that actually dates back to twenty fourteen under the barack obama administration.

this picture of immigrant children sleeping on the floor of a cave have to be forcefully ripped away from their parents should be the defining image of trump's reign is trump's vision of making america great again concentration camps filled with children torn from their parents border to tell parents from bringing children. doesn't care about his own kids and so these kids matter even less to him. this is happening right now and the only way that matters is how we force all governments to get these kids back to their families across this humanly possible.

the u.s. attorney general has said that the policy of separating children from their parents prevents child trafficking it was reportedly implemented more rigorously after that remark now responding to criticism donald trump said that the democrats in fact are to blame saying it all started long before he became the president. put pressure on the democrats to end the horrible law that separates children from their parents once they cross the border into the u.s. catch and release lottery and change must also go with it and we must continue building the wall democrats are protecting emmas thirteen thugs trump came out and said the other day bye bye once again disinclination in chaotic tar that this that this president is so happy to so really what's happening is that troubling ministration is now doing something it's against international law by taking away the rights of parents to be with their kids and blaming it on someone else which is

the active that's where he does all the dirty unfortunately president obama has been the president that has the forty most people from the united states and that is very shameful fact along with his secretary of state hillary clinton at the time it started so in two thousand and fourteen we saw when the families came through when when the first crisis happened in two thousand and fourteen the needy the children were sent to the centers and the parents they had tool to go through a process of searching even if the kids and they had to go through this scrutiny of trying to find out if the family supposedly was really their family or not anything if they were unable to find out if the children actually belong to those families those kids had to stay in foster carers. millions of children in the u.k. are now living in poverty with teachers reporting they have to feed and clothe their pupils instead of teaching them about the red fish media company has released

the first part of its report on the worst hit areas you can watch for the full video on you tube facebook on the official website of repetition once upon a time the british government pledged to make child poverty history. and to see just as it. is to see this. it's britain in two thousand and eighteen place where millions of pounds of public money has just been spent on a lavish royal wedding but while inside this bubble fifty thousand pounds spent on a royal wedding cake outside of it the number of food banks to feed hungry kids is growing britain is also a place where the dream of ending child poverty has been shattered london and birmingham are the areas hardest hit by child poverty here in the child poverty rate is fifty two percent twice the national average mr ali is in

a wheelchair and lives on the tenth floor of the council estates this is his fifteen year old son hussen learning disabilities yet in the absence of proper care workers he has his father's main care. willing when. the school no one ever came to this country. after. the. town my dad one mac and home. bone. father of five martin moved to the u.k. along with his family in search of a better life but they have found themselves living in poverty and in overcrowded accommodation thanks to the stigma attached to living in poverty martin and his wife rachel tell their relatives they are doing fine at their request we have

changed their names and blurred their faces. it's very difficult for the family but. the most important. is this house problem. charity shelter more than one million children in england live in bad or overcrowded housing the charity also estimates that one hundred forty families become homeless every day at the same time more than two hundred thousand homes lie empty at a combined worth of forty three billion pounds. kids like joseph g.m. of a better future. it's. full moons. because they might be facing. west. house problems. the right thing to do.

to give. to give. to live. the right to have a good life. and live comfortably. almost eighty people have been killed in antigovernment rallies in nicaragua first broke out a month ago. police are said to be using life against the protesters the people on the streets are demanding the country's leader daniel ortega step down the demonstrations erupted in mid april after the president impose austerity measures. or let's go

back to our developing story for you here from belgium where two police officers on a pasta by have reportedly been killed in a shooting and two of the policemen we understand sustained injuries and the attacker apparently took a woman hostage at a high school. this video appeared online poll really showing the area of the attack gunfire can be heard according to local sources the attack opened fire after police tried to check his i.d. he then reportedly tried to escape and entered a nearby school the city's mayor says the a taco was shot dead by police and the situation is now stable and no motive behind the assault yet revealed. all thanks for sharing your time with us here were naughty international more of your worldwide headlines at the top of the hour.

those are. this is the kaiser report hopefully. i just want to follow up a little bit on the last episode we did because here's a headline related to dead unicorns why the end is coming soon for the biggest tech bubble we've ever seen expect to see more dead unicorns unicorns of course in this context are companies startups worth more than a billion dollars there's like one hundred couple hundred of them in the united states but he says about over half of them are actually fifty percent overvalued this is keith wright a professor of villanova school of business so we should be seeing that uniform and saying well you know the change for returns over the past ten years as i just read

every man zero migrated into the startup space on the unicorn space but the liquidity never came there the aftermarket never came the cash flow never came so now they all have to go over the cliff of the abyss will be proving once again the world is flat of course there are eighteen these are dead unicorns held by silicon valley investors they have deep pockets and of course they could afford to perhaps lose all of this but they're competing with china which has i guess a bigger market but also more capital to work with and you know they're in the race to see who can create more monopolistic sort of positions of course these unicorn holders from silicon valley have donald trump to crush competition like which was crushed and now that brought. china to the trade table they're supposedly negotiating trump keeps on almost getting a trade deal with china and then backing out by

a tweet so we don't know but we do know that trade war averted china vows to buy more from the u.s. but truce will take time the consensus follows two days of negotiations between teams led by the chinese vice premier lew he and u.s. treasury secretary steven chu and so time is agreed to buy more u.s. agricultural goods. and energy products and this is supposed to close that what two hundred a three hundred seventy five billion dollar trade gap with the united states does china refer to these start ups as unicorns or maybe dragons of the unicorn as a global thing i wonder you know it's mythologically i have to ask based on something but you know i'm not sure but yeah ok so china says they're going to buy a lot more stuff from the u.s. and so trump is having an effect i mean is that weighing into the minutia of trade deals which president has done that i can recall usually they just paint a broad stroke and hope for the best so he's actually getting into the details of

trade deals with echoes. you do have to recognize that in the west we're not seeing the coverage the media coverage and the actual power that china has on the ground over in asia because i have seen reports that the reason why why did why did trump to the extraordinary thing of saying we need to come to the table because he lost all these jobs we don't want to destroy seventy five thousand jobs and we don't want to destroy. and they apologized well apparently there were also u.s. goods piling up at the ports over in china and china has a huge buying power and exporting power and all these u.s. companies have massive factories over in china so they have a lot more leverage than we can possibly see here because of course our media doesn't cover it because they have a more important story that their little conspiracy theory that they're focused on nevertheless there are you know that china apparently has

a lot of negotiating power in terms of twenty eighteen elections midterm elections coming up in just a few short months as places like iowa and nebraska where they were really squealing about the impact on their agricultural exports some of these places you know their their number one. destination is china they also live four to five trillion dollars in reserves more than a trillion or so in dollars the dollar still world reserve currency so yeah they've got a lot of operating leverage on the ground but a macro economically speaking the u.s. federal reserve bank bank of new york still has the ability to crush them at a moment's notice if we so choose their basically their equally powered the world's largest debtor the world's largest creditor they are equally powered they're equally powerful and that is a great huge fight that is the fight of the next few decades what is not a great power which is no longer a great power is the united kingdom versus germany fighting the euro european union

versus trying to come up with the brakes a deal i have to headlines here this is from bloomberg and they often to this i actually printed another article but they change the headline at all the time but boris johnson warns may to get on with it and deliver brags that so he's warning that she has to get on with it he wants to become the new prime minister which probably makes more sense of a clown and charge like trees amaze us ineffective you might as well have an ineffective clown because we have a clown here italy has clowns everybody has clowns this is new policy but the u.k. has admitted that they're going to have to pay a huge divorce bill and this breaks it exit if it ever happens this somebody they break the deal is figuring out how to op back in to various deals that the break sort of gave them the right to opt out rights are just that the ad is something i

thirty thousand more civil servants in the u.k. and that's the whole point of bragg's it is to increase the size of government understand sure the mandate was to take g.d.p. and address it so that government was a less a percentage of g.d.p. braise it just reverses that whole trend and makes the government now a bigger part of g. pay which is highly anti-growth so i mean i'll read you some of boris johnson's exact quotes he's the foreign minister foreign secretary for the united kingdom three some a is the prime minister in case you don't know a lot of people may not hear much about the united kingdom but he said that outward free trade in countries what they want to hear from us is that we are getting on with it with confidence embryo in zap. so over that's not a clown does he know these that's a given it's going. squirting water so i like your idea that the u.k. needs a clown station to compete with the berlusconi's and then only the trump clownish

behavior in america and other global clowns i mean to compete in this global economy you need a clown force johnson's caliber he's a world class clown well if you don't have the authority in the power to be a state's person then you might as well be a clown because you've got to compete for global attention right so johnson's comments however are his strongest since teresa mayes team agreed last week on a controversial compromise that could keep the u.k. tied to e.u. trade rules for years after the divorce the proposal got a frosty reception from brussels and prompted jacob response to commands enough conservative lawmakers to engineer a leadership challenge to say he was losing faith and tree some may but the united kingdom is part of the body of the european economy as a seventy three trillion dollar trading block you know the whole brags it is like your liver deciding to separate from your body and to say we're no longer part of the body were the independent liver and by the way everything that comes in and out

of the liver we now have to introduce another organ called the deliberate exit blipper attacks and then oh wait a minute that doesn't make any sense so we have to reverse all that there's no way to separate the u.k. from europe it cannot be done it will not be done if it does it's in name only they make change. the color of their passport but you cannot you cannot separate the two boris johnson in their delusional when we were just in the york there were two guys walking behind me downtown you know the financial district and i heard them one guy complaining that his office was moving to frankfurt because their office in london was closing down because of this break set thing so get another headline here about the u.k. economy it is it has been hit definitely by this whole breaks during two men who knows what's happening whether or not breaks it happens i think people will still be talking about pricks in twenty thirty years' time when it won't have actually happen nevertheless landlords left with four shards skyscrapers worth of empty

space in the high street bloodbath this big companies like jamie's italian all of these chains. they have a whole bunch of them listed here but the fact is that in figures compiled for the evening standard colliers international forecasts that the blood bath and the retail and restaurant sectors will leave at least six point two million square feet in the u.k. vacant this year of that six hundred thirty thousand square feet isn't london of the property agent examined statistics from the local data company and goad portal it looked at stores which have closed either because firms have collapsed or restructured using a company voluntary arrangement a move which allows businesses to quit stores or seek rent cuts so they using the c.v.s. as they're called so what is it called company voluntary agreement and they're able to get out of all these leases and landlords are left holding the bill on these

overpriced properties and in a shrinking economy and with huge business rates on these small companies that the u.k. government is no longer going to be able to collect it all for except for the say being independent if go it defies one hundred years of integrate. and then to europe it's absurd i understand that everyone likes to be independent but it's never ever ever going to happen in any meaningful sense. it's just ever going to happen of course these new rules came out in the e.u. regarding privacy for example and all these tech companies had to change everything and i just noticed that over the weekend because we've lived in the united kingdom for so long i have had dozens and dozens and dozens of e-mails from all these british companies saying to to new european privacy directives here's our new policy on privacy so it's like there are all these just online about people

throwing their computers out the window because of this hassle but nevertheless they're having to abide by these european regulations anyway in order to stay part of that you're the customs union better member of the new passports of the new color as a manufactured by a french company well we're going to take a little bit of a break here don't go away much more coming your way. so we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. scary dramatic development the only way i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and tom.
