in the. riots on the streets. from the. reverie you're tuning in from right around the world our welcome to moscow and to our. company our top story a damning new report suggests a death toll from the civil war in. four hundred thousand people multiple times more than had previously been thought the. shocking figures are

a long way away from the hope that surrounded the country's declaration of independence in twenty eleven when the u.s. was quick to support africa's newest nation then but did not help continue when things were sent to kill up and breaks down the deadly facts. 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 sudan 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 only have the republic of south sudan and to think you have some nation 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 the new administration 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 have meant that for now at least the world seems to have forgotten about the sudan crisis some so forgotten about the displacement of people women and children under spokesman of children across the nation and it 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 and for the for all intensive purposes the the west and the international community seems to of the blind. double trump has fulfilled one of his campaign promises a new trade deal between america canada and mexico but the n one spend of the law 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 take a look. truly historic good 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 can i don't think you can mr president you said that it's incorrect to say you know the f.b.i. investigation what does that have to do is read i don't mind answering the question but you know like i'd like to do the trade has to do with the other headline in the news which is the kind of i know but how about talking about trade and then we'll get to that you have a question draggle you want to question jane travel question if you just do that that's not right it's not just somebody is before we don't do that you have a question addressed you answered several but you have a question on just shocked that a picture. in the state. 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 they have it all case and to remind the viewers tabun as a supreme court nominee who was accused of sexual harassment some have even said that trump's 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. ok another story we're closely

following today germany has reportedly approved new arms exports to saudi arabia. bia worth some 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 that was 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. about reporting humanitarian situation in yemen the largest the united states something like sixty to seventy percent of the arms. but the english the french german. the norwegian. historically. so. that's never going to economic

you. thanks. my. we start back with a developing story police in northern france made a dorm raid on a muslim club suspected of extremist activity let's go live now to charlotte dubin

ski who is in paris for a charlotte what are we learning about the swoop. well we know that this took place near the port city of dunn kirk it took place in what's described as being a cultural center called the centers are which is near that port city of dunkirk now we understand that under the cover of darkness at six am local time here in france a huge police operation went under way now it targeted the centennial also targeted the homes of twelve or the main leaders of that so-called cultural center we understand that two hundred police were involved in the operation gives you a sense of how big the scale was of that operation today and we understand eleven individuals have been detained as a result of that operation including three who are now in custody for the possession of illegally possessing firearms now we also understand that the fun's

of the association which is a shia association have now been frozen for six months this is what the local prefecture in france had to say about that operation. the activities of sense result of france on the particularly close watch given its leaders clear support for several terrorist organisations and movements disposing ideas contrary to french republican values well what do we know about this so-called cultural organization in the north of france so we understand that it was established back in two thousand and five and its main aim was to promote the spread of islam now it's also been suspected of having pro islam most militant links and we understand that the sites prayer room has been closed down as a result of this operation on tuesday now france as we know has been on the high alert since two thousand and fifteen for the threat of terror that's when there were several attacks in the country claiming the lives of two hundred and forty six

individuals and over the last two years they have been many terror raids like this taking place across the country just almost a year ago in november two thousand and seventeen there were nine arrests as a result of a terrorist in the september before that there were two arrests near paris where explosives were found all the materials to make explosives and also back in july in two thousand and seventeen there were five arrested after a series of raids across new them france and in belgium bring us up to date on that early morning raid in from charlotte dubinsky from pars. a test case in england maybe about to make historic changes to the rights of parents in the country let's go through the precedent a situation could reverse previous requirements for a mother to be register and every birth certificate not the center of the legal battle is a single parent who was born a woman but now lives as

a man after on the going surgery he wants to be identified as the father or per turn so is that not being allowed to do so violates his human right to privacy and family life in english law however states he must appear as the biological mother on the birth certificate and all the others preventing him from receiving state benefits. well while this is a unique case and then since twenty sixteen the us state of california has given parents the choice between between mother father or her and you know that's according to personal preference of course well the debates have been thick and fast on this we've got the views of political commentator david vance on first l g p t campaigner peter touch him. 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 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 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 transmit 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 it's different but i think the

number of instances that will be involved in a similar circumstance is so so tiny we should not get our heads up about us and we should just make the accommodation but i cater to. your peter peter the law is not biggest 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 shaping the future is a bold declaration but perhaps one that attendees at the forbes under thirty summit can claim to more than most boom bust is among them its next. cooked additional submersed if not of what was an ounce of to linger some of these it's just a. conditional the most. simple

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. and in. the church secret indeed catholic priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this the do graphic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to. difference far were the previous standards not. highest ranks of the catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that of has known as the i intend that i included use
