think it's going to go to you guys one more time but all of the tear gas canisters and despite all of the live ammunition the palestinian protesters continue to protest and are still very very close to the fence participating in the great much of return this is not the first time they have been facing this violence and this excessive force but they have been witnessing this for more than eighteen weeks now most of the injuries today have been injured in the upper part of the body where most of them are in the chest in the stomach conduct in that and the had this is one of the injuries that was shot with live ammunition from that is right the snipers that said this but a senior minister of have stated that most of the injuries today are from live ammunition this is a protest that was killed to any his chest then people are saying that he's shot killed it's very dangerous for us to be here but despite everything we're still here covering all the israeli violence against the palestinians more live

ammunition we can hear live ammunition and more injuries are coming from the front line. aside from gaza clashes have erupted between muslim worshipers an israeli security forces in jerusalem the temple mount aside the holy to both jews and muslims. several explosions were heard with smoke covering parts of the holy site israeli police say that muslim worshippers were throwing stones and fireworks at them and so they responded with the riot control measures including stun grenades police also stormed the al aqsa mosque after people barricaded themselves inside a number of injuries were reported as a result of the clashes. with. the u.n. secretary general has raised the alarm over

a major shortfall in the organizations budget and turning a good terrorises sent a letter to member states urging them to pay up we're running out of cash sooner and staying in the red longer cost primarily by the do it country b. shoes of member states to the regular budget this new cash shortfall is like those we have experienced previously. and i speak now to stefan the spokesperson for the u.n. secretary general very good evening stefan thanks for for coming on to speak to us this short fall we're talking about how serious is it for the organization. well it's serious and it's of concern to the secretary general this is not you every year oh we go through periods where we're running low on cash and that's really you to the fact that different countries pay different times due to their budgetary cycles this year however we've we've we are running out. we're running low on

cash earlier. than sooner and we're staying in the red longer so the secretary general wrote to member states asking those who haven't paid to pay their dues they know in full we have about one in twelve countries that have that have done so but obviously we're waiting for the other eighty one we would like for them to pay their budget use in full he said it's a normal state of affairs for them to be be delayed in making the payment is it unusual for the secretary general to have to contact them and remind them. i think it's it's been done before the secretary general took the step of writing to staff members as well to make sure everybody understood and everybody understood this what the situation was as i said this is. really worrying trend you know we don't like we don't work like a government we don't have the ability. to control our income

flow in expenditures as well as as governments so the member states set a budget but then we have to wait for them to actually pay that cash for us to actually go through and implement pay for the expenses of that budget do you have any idea why things taking longer in this time round. ok you know that's a question you'd have to ask the member states they don't usually give us explanations obviously public finances throughout the world we understand sometimes or can be tough we know we work republican finance we are into a governmental organization but this is this is a trend that may have made impact our ability to deliver on some of the mandates of the secretary so that's where we're we're that's why the secretary general sort of raise this flag at this point show i mean if the money isn't that where you can spend it i'm sure everyone can understand that is there any particular program that

could be vulnerable. you know we're looking right now at how to limit expenses that we can control whether it's travel or or regular budget regular budget expenditures so i don't want to create any any alarm obviously you know the way the u.n. is finance is somewhat complex there are humanitarian work is financed separately from our regular budget and for that we have to appeal also yearly on a regular on a regular basis of the work we do in syria and yemen that's finance from another part not upon which itself is also underfunded so what we're talking about is really the day to day work of the secretary and do you fully explain to all the countries you haven't paid yet to pay up in full is that any kind of record of that not happening well you know every year there are a few countries that are unable to pay because of a state of war civil war and that's something that we expect that's really you know

usually a very limited it has very limited impact because we're not talking for about a lot of money we do expect all of the member states to pay up in full and hopefully on time. but you know we have no. there are no sticks year on on the part of the secretary general it's really a plea for member states to live up to their obligations and if i understand this correctly washington is that the biggest contributor to the budget what do you make of donald trump's decision to cut the amount of funding know that the u.s. is not cut the amount of funding to the regular budget of the u.n. the u.s. scale of the u.s. portion is set through the scale of assessment which is agreed on by every country so there you know the u.s. has cut back in some other countries have on certain programs but we're talking here about the secretary its budget the u.s. is not cut its budget the u.s.

traditionally pays later in the year and that's been the case for for a bit over a decade because of the fiscal the way the fiscal year works in washington is that is that something that you will be discussing with the u.s. the they the scale that they paid on the amount you know this is not a u.s. . problem this is an issue that really impacts this is about one hundred ninety three member states and there. the fact that we need them to pay up sooner if possible. and on time. and anybody watching will will understand you need money how can you know you don't you have no punitive measures to understand this correctly so it really is just an appeal to them to speed up the process there's nothing you can do about it no there's no punitive measure i mean the only punitive measures sort of speak are the whites at the member states themselves can impose not the secretary general and if

a country does it hates jews for i believe it in three years they could lose their voting rights in the general assembly but that's a separate issue the secretary general himself has there were punitive measures to to invoke it's really an appeal trying to appeal but a very loud appeal seven appreciate you taking the time for clarifying the situation first my guest i found a spokesperson for the un secretary-general thank you cheers take care. in other news a growing number of public figures are getting in trouble over their old tweets to explain all that is. it's become a sport watch someone climb to the top and then knock them off the perch using their own less than savory quotes like t.v. . who lost her long time job a.b.c. following a very racist tweet it also happened to katie mchugh a journalist who used to write for the breitbart website after her anti muslim

tweets came to light the same fate be felled the sisters stars of the go with no job instagram account they used to have a talk show but it was cancelled because they're old. and islamophobia tweets resurfaced on top of that left leaning liberal media outlet found out that the sisters have a conservative news pundit for a mother who likes donald trump a lot in fact one thing all those disgraced stars have in common is that they're politically conservative although recently the liberal camp has been hit by a string of very similar scandals james garden big hollywood film director made guardians of the galaxy turns out ten years ago he was making jokes about rape and paedophilia his bosses at disney had to sack him the creator of reckon morty and host of the harmon town podcast dan harmon he had to apologize after an old sketch

where he rapes a baby doll caught the attention of the twitter sphere the host of the daily show traveled no recently faced criticism when his old sketch poking fun at aboriginal women in australia cropped up online who dug all this up the conservatives to find some politically incorrect skeletons in the liberals closets might you know of it all right blog keen to get revenge on the left was the one who found the james gun tweets he's loving the fact that the lefties are getting a taste of their own outraged medicine. i enjoyed just the wrong human visceral reaction of jumping into the arena and just swinging the hammer and seeing what is left over afterwards twitter is just modern day gladiatorial combat but there is a slight difference in how the conservatives online misdemeanors and the left wing liberals offensive jokes are playing out trevor noah and dan harmon have managed to

hold on to their jobs james gunn did get fired but a lot of the so-called liberal elite standing up for him james gunn is one of the most loving caring good natured people i have ever met he's made mistakes we all have i'm not ok with what's happening to him james gunn i think you for your tell and your decency and your evolution as a man i'm pausing myself to take everything in the forest because of term i just want everyone to know i love all members of my geo t.g. family some have even started a petition to rehire him the twitter sphere wasn't quite as forgiving when it came to roseanne barr's hateful language shame on you the real roseanne and a.b.c. network not a single apology can get me to respect your despicable racist character and racism in mainstream media now i'm hurt embarrassed and disappointed the racist and

distasteful comments from rosie are inexcusable a.b.c. and disney do the right thing there is still boned reason the age of trump that cannot be crossed thank you for putting values above money roseanne herself has picked up on it i'm disgusted to read all the support for james guns paedophile jokes as the same people supported blackly sue me for a joke they didn't even understand digging up dirt is one thing but it looks like it's more likely to stick if you're on the right side of the political spectrum. powerful drug cartel in colombia is taken out a hit on the german shepherd dog the canine angered the drug barons after it sniffed out a huge stash of cocaine. journey

firm behind the infamous trump russia dossier has been summoned to a court hearing the judge in the us ordered fusion g.p.s. to have sworn testimony in a lawsuit brought by a russian tech guru alexa goober he's filed a defamation suit against the dossiers author along with the media company the release did buzz feed spiric own story both fusion g.p.s. will now have to answer questions regarding its role in compiling the steel dossier be very dossier that made headlines a world wide for its unverified salacious allegations about donald trump before his an aga. ration now lawyers will be able to ask a fusion g.p.s. representatives about its clients how they verify their claims and why they hired christopher steele and they'll also have the opportunity to find out the nature of the firm's interactions with government officials and media outlets now the russian entrepreneur is a lawyer who filed these claims against piracy and still called it

a victory this ruling gave us everything that we had hoped for after a year of trying everything they could think of to avoid being deposed fusion is finally going to have to sit down and the answer our questions using g.p.s. hasn't revealed any information regarding the dossier claiming that it would violate confidentiality clauses and free speech rights but for some background the firm was hired in april twenty sixth by the clinton campaign and the d.n.c. to investigate trump's allegedly to russia for a fever about one point eight million dollars then fusion hired former m i six operative christopher steele and then buzz feed to publish the dossier even though it wasn't verified now fusion g.p.s. will have until august thirty first to sit in for the deposition but it's possible that the revelations that will come out of that hearing will be more scandalous than the dossier itself. we can leaks founder julian assange may soon have to

leave the sea in london where he's been holed up for more than sixty is the presence of the stalemate has gone on for too long. to put this situation cannot go on forever a sense will eventually have to go right. yes indeed yes but his departure should come about through dialogue this isn't the first time we've heard speculation of a sergeant six year tenure at the ecuadorian embassy coming to an end it is the first time such himself come from such a high official the president of ecuador himself saw and of course has been a asylum seeker effectively at the embassy since two thousand and twelve he fled there six years one month ago afraid that he would be extradited to the united states where he's wanted of course for publicly leaking those military and diplomatic cables which celebs war crimes and human rights violations now of course all this comes in the light of those reports about negotiations between the

ecuadorian government and the british government to come to some sort of conclusion to bring this matter to an end the u.k. government has denied that this issue specifically was discussed during president rose recent visit to the u.k. but they have confirmed that negotiations have generally taken place and are continuing to take place to resolve the matter lamoriello himself it has to be said it's not a big fan of assad she's criticized him describing him as a stone in the shoe as a hacker while you labeled as an inherited problem inherited because of course it was granted asylum under the presidency of rafael air now though from with this administration it has been far from smooth sailing for the whistleblower for a person to stay confined like that for so long is tantamount to a human rights violation the only concern i have is that i have never agreed with the songes activity i don't agree with hacking private e-mails to be able to obtain

information no matter how valuable it is to expose certain undesirable acts of governments all people of course six years of confinement have taken their. toll on a song to have been concerns about his welfare just last month in fact foreign office minister alan duncan expressed those concerns to parliament stating assurances would be sought about his welfare should he leave the embassy. internet access was recently cut off and the visits available to him by third parties have also been limited leaving very much questions both from the public and the media about just how and when this six year saga will finally come to an end.

the government. loyal to tradition takes the safety of. the inside one of the diplomatic missions decided to give them up to the side. where. our. position was planted on the ground will descend into civil war incumbent is

empowered to grand national. because of great regret that didn't move in the door and was that it's about the israel lobby and the three who gave you sabra just. a former m i five intelligence officer only this development in a science case is a bad sign for the wiki leaks boss i think it's only worrying for us aren't yes there's no doubt about it because the incoming president in ecuador seems to see him as a problem he's also under pressure from the americans and from the international monetary fund to raise funding for this country and apparently it's been speculated reporters that been threats that this might be withheld if they don't if he does not resolve this on a case but i think he's right to be worried about being extradited on with the

united states where his organization wiki leaks has already been categorized by michael compare as a hostile intelligence agency where politicians been calling for his assassination for the death penalty for the rest of his life in prison and all for publishing just as any other media organization publishes so i think the concern is what the british will do and of course the british government is an also very difficult position with practice it they can't afford to annoy their american cousins too much at this juncture of british history so it's a bit of a mess every which way. the road phenomenon of a blood moon is now making its way across the night sky in some parts of the world this is lunar eclipse is considered the longest in a century and this is how it looked from the blood moon years long fascinated cultures right across the globe and it's also inspired many myths among them a number of people seeing it to be burned over. so it's not i'm looking for any of

you watching those i'll be back with very latest see you in about thirty five minutes. it's democratic socialism the future of the democratic party the future of america is moving to the left a winning strategy to take on donald trump's vision of conservative populism one thing is undeniable mainstream politics in both parties for under pressure to evolve and become more accounts. became this national camera. roughly once they showed some loopy for them. uncool videos and so on with the broken string that's. going down more on

string i don't roughly don't t.v. the fallout from michael calling secret recording it's taken the talk away from helsinki but it means more turmoil for the white house and take a look at that on this edition. welcome to politicking on larry king but now you know about the secret recording of a conversation purportedly between the candidate donald trump and his former personal attorney michael cohen what's the political and legal fallout for mr trump and the republicans we'll talk about that with our political panel the democratic strategist julian epstein who served as chief minority counsel to the house it is. foremost distaff director of the government oversight and reform committee he's in

washington and then lands down virginia john with back republican strategist former chairman of the republican party of virginia also an attorney and small business owner julian what's the legal value to mr cohen of releasing this. the legal significance is there's all kinds of potential criminal violations here the story relating to karen mcdougal a playboy playmate that michael cohen and donald trump were apparently trying to cover up by getting a news publication the national enquirer to buy the rights to it so they could bury the story very likely involves campaign finance violations that trump and michael cohen were trying to obstruct any inquiry into and this comes on the heels of an ever widening inquiry into the president for obstruction of justice and the russian interference probe so the president's woes jets get worse and worse from

a legal point of view republicans abandoned many republicans abandoned by the president on his recent foreign policy excursions whether it was the helsinki summit or whether it's north korea that doesn't seem to mean materializing and on the domestic front. republicans seem to be abandoning the president on the trade wars john the other republican. this conversation for ford between trump and michael cohen how a lot resonate with republican voters if at all. well i don't think it at all it will at all actually i mean i think his numbers when republicans were up around eighty eight percent as a last poll that i saw you know just to respond briefly to the legal aspect of this lanny davis is a pretty competent attorney i don't think he would have allowed this tape to come out if he was scared that his client was going to be implicated some kind of criminal matter related to it so that's a bit of a leap to say that there's criminal liability associate with the president or michael cohen because of this tape mange to be seen but this has nothing to do with

the rush of collusion this is an entirely separate matter and i think one of the things the white house doesn't do well is differentiate between the two in other words the white house is having the president constantly messaging on twitter and whatnot that this is a witch hunt while the collusion part of it in terms of the president's role in it there's no evidence that that's occurred but there has been substantial indictments of different things of russians and other people related to interference in the election which is a whole separate matter but the white house needs to do a better job of differentiating the president's role and how that is a witch and how they found no evidence of collusion by the president despite only one of these about the president and women john why do evangelicals continue to support him. you know one of the things that evangelicals have been fighting for for decades is supreme court nominees and that is something that i think they are really committed to and i think evangelicals are are aggressive voters on the issues that they care about most because of that i think that's the chief issue

that's driving them to the polls not to mention this is about the most conservative administration we've seen maybe since reagan and i think that it's it's an amazing situation to be in for certainly because donald trump is not someone you would think would be an evangelical voters favorite candidate so is just a aster ask john the question is do the evangelicals believe in all and all and an eleventh commandment now which says that it's ok to cheat on your wife and lie about it so long as you support the right candidate for the supreme court is that one of even joe i but because i remember having three thoughts on the other end when president clinton had an extramarital affair and every republican want to impeach him for it just curious as to how republicans rationalize it when the shoe is on the other foot now actually if that's revisionist history because it was actually for lying under oath nobody was impeaching the president for adultery and quite frankly.
