council lumia region marks a year since and the independence referendum faced the brutal done from a. twenty four hour news live from moscow this is our international good to have your company i mean o'neill our top story the independence of scythe sit down in twenty eleven was seen by the world as a way arts of a decades long civil war but just two years later a new conflict erupted in africa's youngest nation a damning new report suggests that the death toll from the war has reached almost four hundred thousand people multiple times more than had previously been thought killer bump and breaks down a deadly. south sudan is the youngest country in the world and according to a new report from the u.s. state department it's off to

a pretty bleak start almost four hundred thousand people killed half of them killed in the conflict the other half dying of hunger and disease now previously prior to this report the estimates had only been in the tens of thousands but now it looks like the numbers of deaths in south sudan are approaching the number that have died in the conflict in syria pretty bleak but it wasn't always like this now in the one nine hundred ninety s. there was no south sudan sudan was one country and it was embroiled in the longest running civil war in the continent. however there were some perks at that point sadam had lots of oil to sell and china was pouring in investments and that is when the sanctions rolled in sudan was declared to be a state sponsor of terror bill clinton bombed a factory in one thousand nine hundred eight that he said was making chemical weapons our forces also attacked a factory in sudan associated with. the factory was involved in the production of

materials for chemical weapons but actually the factory was just making medicine no evidence of chemical weapons has ever been produced now the usa pushed for south sudan's independence in two thousand and eleven the usa hailed south sudan for breaking away and becoming a new country we may actually have to go in the republic of south sudan into thinking you have sovereign nations but the euphoria did not last long it breaks my heart to see what south sudan has become today country fell into a civil war between rival clans the president turned against the vice president and mass killings and hunger ensued and all this killing was a headache for the united nations so with a new. stray ssion now in the white house the u.s. role in south sudan is being reassessed the united states government will not

continue in a partnership with leaders who are only interested in perpetuating an endless war characterized by ethnically motivated atrocities the government of south sudan has lost credibility and the united states is losing patience yes south sudan is yet another example of the us state department telling us that they're going to go rescue some or all press people on the other side of the planet and then they're left spending money to analyze results showing that the conditions overall are getting a lot worse to an extent the world seem to have forgotten about south sudan not too long ago it was the world that was running together to form this new nation then at the expense of northern sudan which was run by bashir and it would appear that petty politics between the chinese and the us in terms of the respective influences on those countries meant that for now at least the world seems to have forgotten about the sudan crisis some so forgotten about displacement of people women and

children underspent of children across the nation and is very much an impoverished states and i know of course we know that a lot of things do not work effectively in south sudan. for all intensive purposes the the west and the international community seems to of the blind eye. a little hole filled one of his campaign promises a new trade deal between america and canada and mexico but the announcement of the lung mark agreement was overshadowed by sexual misconduct allegations against the u.s. president supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh and it also added fuel to trump standoff with the media. truly historic news this will be a new dawn this landmark agreement that incredible new this new deal will be the most modern up to date and balanced trade agreement in the history of our country brett kavanaugh is there a plan b.

i have two questions about you can i get mr president you said that it's incorrect to say you know the f.b.i. investigation one that was right i don't mind answering the question but you know i'd like to do the three has to do with the other headline of the news which is that you know what i know but how about talking about trade and then we'll get to that you have a question draggle you want to question thank you general question could just that's not right it's not just somebody is briefly because they don't do that you have a question and you answered several but you have a question and she's shocked that i pick. and say. i'm not thinking that's something. you never do it was trump's big day as he unveiled a new deal with canada and mexico that's supposed to replace nafta and if you remember he once called nafta the worst deal ever but trump's replacement deal is apparently a historic transaction the deal which took over a year to negotiate is called the united states mexico canada agreement and it will apparently solve all of the problems with nafta has and it will open markets to

farmers and manufacturers and reduce trade barriers but during his campaign trump had promised to either renegotiate nafta or break it so this new deal fulfills that promise but at the press conference journalist weren't concerned about the deal they were really interested in the capital case and to remind the viewers cavanagh's a supreme court nominee who was accused of sexual harassment some have even said the trumps moment was stolen from him so an important development in economic policy was once again overshadowed by the latest liberal scandal of the moment and it doesn't look like it will stop anytime soon. germany has reportedly approved a new arms exports to saudi arabia worth almost three hundred million. dollars the move comes despite strong criticism of the saudis for their participation in the yemeni conflict which has resulted in thousands of civilian casualties but has artie's reports there's no shortage of countries willing to send weapons to riyadh

. innocent lives being taken away in yemen by saudi bombs you may get the impression it's a big deal for them we are concerned about the pulling humanitarian situation in yemen and the risk of home to civilian populations this is the worst humanitarian crisis that is in china a humanitarian disaster this cannot become a forgotten crisis speaking of deals guess who saudi arabia and its coalition friends get their war machines from. these are called like clerk tanks made to joint they by france and germany here they are in a yemeni desert. if

it hadn't been for an m.r.i. the mogul who once served as a middleman between paris and abu dhabi we might have never learned about the nuts and bolts of the tank purchase but the guy didn't get his commission fee for his job as a broker he went on to sue the french eventually we keenly spilled the beans on the trial and the contract numbers the contract with the government of the us was concluded on sixth of april one thousand nine hundred ninety three for the delivery of three hundred eighty eight combat tanks leclaire forty six tank recovery armored vehicles two training tanks spare parts ammunition and various other deliveries at a price of three billion six hundred thirteen million four hundred sixty seven thousand two hundred twenty three dollars. over three and a half billion bucks worth of tanks one of the coalition's many tools to reduce yemen to rubble of course the saudis see it as fight against terrorism.

up next missiles. i'll show you another contract the money has already been paid although delivery is still pending saudi arabia is getting four hundred u.s. made laser guided missiles from spain they cost riyadh nine point two million euros that's pennies compared to the tanks i told you about earlier but the newly elected spanish government was having second thoughts about the deal eventually though they all vanished knowing which one thousand we found no reason to fill our commitments we've made a decision that we have to honor this contract so you can this brings us to one of the biggest arm deals in the history of canada.

auto was been wary of what's going on with human rights in saudi arabia however change of government in ottawa doesn't. lead to the cancellation of contracts previously signed but moving forward we are committed to the kind of openness transparency and rigor or the number of zeroes on the twelve billion dollar paycheck is just way too tempting so hundreds of canadian made armored vehicles will be heading to the middle east next stop you hear politicians get emotional over innocent victims in yemen picture a massive dollar sign and. your head there are the interests of. arms manufacturers and of course lawyers be something like sixty to seventy percent

of the arms in saudi arabia. but the english the french the germans. in the region. historically. that's never going to economic interest the current leadership of saudi arabia feels empowered. by their back. just yesterday monday saudi arabia admitted it's had made mistakes in its attacks in yemen which has left more than ten thousand civilians dead that statement drew criticism from the united nations which stated there is no evidence that anyone was sanctioned over those so-called errors the body has also described the situation in yemen as the world's worst humanitarian crisis with more than twenty million people in need of aid.

i was just relieved i'm an endless source of nutrition at times when there was a program that lets food purchase tree leaves a one man for a very. close even though i don't live in. one of my children suffers from a natural deficiency and up just head that either has a kidney infection or my dad because of this force and because of the lack of aid and clean water. we receive between ten to twenty cases of mid to severe malnutrition on a daily basis especially among children from displaced families from absent iran many children suffer from severe acute malnutrition due to destitution and poverty

in which displaced families live. and i'm going to. turn to violence in barcelona on monday pro independence activists were marking a year since a referendum to break away from spain was brutally quashed by madrid and police were back on the streets in force. was. i. will close to two hundred thousand people gathered in barcelona of a recent accomplice tear gas rubber bullets were used to break up the crowds that

had rallied in front of the parliament building campaigners burn spanish floods on chanted pro separatist slogans earlier in the day activists blocked major roads and real realignments or false belief. ok we're back with more world news in ninety seconds time stay with us. when i'll show something seemed wrong why don't y'all just don't call. me. yet to say power does they become educated and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

they put themselves on the line. they did accept the reject. so when you were the president and you. wanted. to go on to be this is what the. three of them if you could get. interested in the. first. seventy minutes into the program welcome back a test case in england maybe a bike to make historic changes to the rights of parents in the country the

unprecedented situation could reverse the previous requirement for a mother to be registered on every birth certificate well at the center of the legal battle is a single parent who was born a woman but not lives after all nor going surgery he wants to be identified as they fall for or parent and. not being allowed to do so violates his human right to privacy and family life and this law however states he must appear as the biological mother on the birth certificate on all of this preventing him from receiving state benefits well while this is a unique case in england since twenty sixteen the u.s. state of california has given parents the choice to pick between mother at fault her or simply parent according to personal preference well a lot of debate on this and we've got the fuse of political commentator david. campaigner first. the question this case raises is who should be

on the birth certificate shouldn't necessarily be mother or father or could it just be a parent i would think that it's not really important for legal reasons or any other practical reason why has to be a mother peter just said this let's remove mother from the birth certificate and replace it with something more more nonspecific such as parent but mothers give birth the kids sorry spoiler alert that's how it's been that's how it was always going to be and no one minds of debate are going to change that biological fact why why not just be make a reasonable accommodation in the small number of cases to acknowledge this person of the parents of the child will know that this person is their parent legally as well as in reality this child would become the first child in the history of this country and i believe anywhere else who on their birth certificate the word mother

is missing so just consider this for a moment can you imagine the cycle on the psychological damage that this would impact that child you know the child will probably find it different and unusual but as we have seen with same sex parents children get a handle on things pretty quickly love is about you know a parent's commitment and care for a child. what's on the birth certificate really doesn't affect that love and commitment in those instance that you that you've mentioned same sex couples regardless of the configuration the child was always born to a woman simple biological fact you know what i mean that's not being judgmental it's being it's being it's a fine dish in the fact that we must not be we must not run away from just because it might hurt some people's feelings there have been some. in

a similar situation have given birth and they have accepted that they should be named as the mother so this case is unique and is different but i think the number of instances that will be involved in a similar circumstance is so so tiny we should not get hot heads up about us and we should just make the accommodation but i. get it peter peter the law is not on on the exceptions the law must apply to all you just can't operate at the way that you'd like to so the fact of the matter is that this child was born to a woman and there for the birth certificate should reasonably reflect that reality and indeed the issue of gender hasn't strayed too far from the headlines of late all a student in britain and a professor in sweden have both been slum for breaching the new political correctness dictates in case you missed it polly takes us through a few of the things we have partly need to know. there was

a time when men were men and women were women and good old fashioned oppression was reserved for the lucky few but in the case you missed it things ate what they used to be. interested in dire need of us to see a student philosopher has been sacked from a psychology job on a university magazine for retreating to reach we have a reason he did us a goal that state women don't have a piece. and over in sweden a professor is being investigated for telling students that there are still nickel and biological differences between men and women they both made the fatal error of timing i thought i meant expressing it honest opinion publicly naive i know i had to get into this raging debate about whom i want to find the bad i just want society to be super inclusive for all. the people like the british

hubris this recent past and frankly your ground does need some help with well go get your granddad police down there because i see why my you know you it. modern society is actually really simple just memorize the following you must be tolerant of everything you use the euro tolerance against anyone that doesn't agree with freedom of speech is still your absolute right just trying not to use it to for unity only express yourself in the safety of your own home around the people that love you unconditionally you probably never considered how ball next door has that well you'd better find out so you can express hope for and remember paul might still look like bob but that doesn't mean he's not barbara. the camry is

a mess so jenny sam outdoor and have faith. that the feelings of all but that. fact. is not all just the past tense of the way and if you were no surprise then. don't worry though because someone is oppressing you you just don't know it yet so was this changing them more than it's important to everyone in the. i don't leave by working face kava can we prevent differently from being the law and then express their worry that we're getting that. the take of paulie boy go up next in the program palestinian resistance in the spotlight but through bombs nor bullets rather the power of art you're watching international.

make this manufactured consensus stick to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the flaming. lips and be the one percent. normal middle of the room sit. room. you know world of big. lot and conspiracies it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than.

never we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront cation let it be an arms race is on offense very dramatic development the only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. things.

this is gaza's current status it's one of the most overpopulated places on earth and on the brink of collapse. forces in two thousand and five but still keep some news on that with air ground and sea blockades it's also under economic sanctions is often described as an open air prison. locals elected hamas as their leaders here they don't believe that israel should exist so naturally both saw its regularly bomb each other israel tends to send a warning leaflets before stroy locals mostly state puts many countries classify

hamas as a terrorist organization and the queues them of putting people at risk. schools and mosques by encouraging them to join protests. camargue. know you've no. right. to be. on saturdays there is often a funeral here the whole village comes out to pay their respects to another kid has died at the protest so that abigail sorry is so martyr you. look at the end of the north in the letter. miss my mom and my mom yes and the cloud is that no one just for war and then that's not the bottom of the. net and not full can never been done before so

a new plot muhammad must you know new clothes. doing it again the first. lady must of been made a big fluffy and those at the top be a. candle tough. come from and i'm on the female of the muslims to meet in. the lobby of. the saudi proposal to come face to face and yet the real battle cost of. the budget for many years the battle of the man for also. larry is that the let me. israel has launched its biggest offensive against gaza in years the united nations is urging israel to hold success to force the students or national accused of violating international law but this isn't the first time we tried to talk to the i.d.f. and they refused our requests for comments asked our stance hasn't changed over the

years but here's what their spokesperson told me in twenty fourteen. i would quote is the alternative to just let us terrorists continue their power on sugar gresham every two years they're carrying out to barrel and attack against israeli civilians and they cannot expect that this will go on they have a mist of about ten thousand rockets they're all poised and pointed to israel and all civilians are unable to their children today. could not be allowed to go to kindergarten children could not go to summer camp they had to stay in the safe room it's unacceptable we're not willing to let this go and that's why the military has been challenged to protect the state of israel our mission is to safeguard the civilians was not forget that there are palestinian civilians also being killed in the process. absolutely and i would

actually point that finger and say hamas what are you doing to prevent the escalation they are doing everything in their power to escalate the situation to cause more casualties civilians whether they're israelis or palestinians also on the other hand we are using pinpoint precision mischa munitions we are using intelligence based targeting we are doing everything in al qaida it is unfortunate that instead of investing so much in the terrorist infrastructure of gaza in these styles of tons of cement that went into the building of terrorist.
