china's rising star eclipses the u.s. . in the world leaders that's according to new data from a washington based. on the program germany's right wing party record high girl was disqualified from the portrait contests for her migrant first . may the force be with you russian trolls are accused of swaying public opinion against the latest film in the star wars franchise.

just going at midday here in moscow this october the third hope you're having a fine wednesday wherever you are welcome to our team international our top story china is playing a more important role in the world today than the united states according to a recent poll by the washington based think tank the pew research center it also shows that the chinese leader is more trusted globally than his american counterpart. what gets in donald trump obsessive his image sure but what else jonah has been attempting to interfere in our upcoming twenty eight. election i've done a lot of this is where china china's market distortions china china china see through china talk about china for and he has good reason to be fixated the rise of

china is showing no signs of stopping with a nation poised to overtake america as the next world superpower polls conducted across twenty five countries show why the spread recognition that china is the emerging power with the might to more than rival uncle sam could china overtake the u.s. as the leadership in the learn when i think china will overtake the u.s. china's goal good chance of doing that there were above everybody else people underestimate him. the most powerful country now is certainly the united states but i think china will definitely surpass it in the future but here's the thing china may well become the most powerful in economic terms the people are not so keen on beijing taking the reigns as the globe's moral compass and think the u.s. is still the best option is the world voice of reason trying to do what it's us would be in the heart of the scary. i lean more towards the usa for

their democratic system and human rights so i don't think it would be better if china became more powerful however ranking leaders on doing the right thing and trump is well down the list lower than china's xi jinping. oh you know sure. they lose. but that's not to say that trump and doesn't have those who hang on his every word taze huge in the philippines it seems most people they're less. nothing more than an outspoken well to mention provocative man in control and you don't even have to be able to hold a chill in. the. movie you can.

lose the minute you leave and in israel forget about it trump is the man pulling out of the iran nuclear deal and moving the us embassy to jerusalem has earned him serious brownie points and alienated a whole bunch of people to we have i would say probably the best relationships right now with israel that we have or had a who is close now is maybe ever before. with the term say on netanyahu on his side trun passes the pause but it's with china's when a song is coupled with america's decline does trump really have what it takes to remain at the top of the world pedestal how likely to think you he's to succeed so i want to. run. i don't think it's possible to be three

zero the scale but maybe fifteen one in five you know his influence around three come on let's be honest there are trump is trump. ok to another story today that's generating a lot of interest and in germany where they daughter of a right wing politician has been disqualified from a portrait contest after reading odds on m t migrant pool and here is the verse. all. the little guys. even. though. what you just heard was part of a poetry competition that was organized in southwest germany by a council as part of an anti racism initiative the entry you heard was by.

the fourteen year old daughter of a right wing german politician her controversial entry provoked this reaction in the hall was well despite that reaction she was disqualified from the competition in fact there were boos when it different when it was announced there has been backlash though her mother the alternative for germany m.p. nicola has said that their house had been dogged in spray painted with nazi slurs this type of reaction to a teenager's poetry isn't surprising in germany right now the political divide in the country hasn't been this prominent in recent times in fact we've seen a number of right wing demonstrations across the country that were really sparked into existence following the stabbing to death of a thirty five year old german man in the city of camden it's the two main suspects

in custody a two asylum applications one from iraq and one from syria was of of. i was and all of this has played into the hands of the anti migrant alternative for germany party when they entered parliament just over a year ago and twenty seventeen with just less than thirteen percent of the vote they weren't really expected to build on that too much to leave. tectonic shifts and earthquake it looks like the c.d.u. will be electing a chance at the last dramatically is it a bit a loss no their country it's a broken our democracy for the first time in seventy years we have a nationalistic right wing populist party partially reflecting that see ideology in parliament it is no surprise that a.v. has grown stronger the shock for everyone is how much stronger it has become fast

forward to now when the polls show that almost one in five germans is on thyroid with alternative for germany the most recent poll showing that they would take over eighteen percent of the vote if an election with held today coming only second to the union of the c.d.u. and c.s.u. headed up by angela merkel dissatisfaction with angola merkel's government is reasonably high here in germany but what these recent polls show is that if an election was to be held tomorrow well the chancellor wouldn't have enough votes to put together the current coalition government in a considerable minority among the german population has lost its trust into the christian democratic union into the social democratic party end of the established politics and media system voting for the f.t. is mostly or even completely an emotionally driven voting those who vote for the a of d. simply want to be clear we have lost trust in the its political parties will want

to punish them and the most severe punishment for the political establishment is looking for the f.t. and this is how the things are going on in germany right now. first it was the presidential elections the assault on american democracy now those russian trolls are up to something even more sinister they've had a galaxy not so far far away are partly targeting hollywood and the star wars franchise. hey america they stole your election hey britain they stole your dream of a united europe democracy will never be the same because of russian memes thralls boughts well surely there is something still sacred in western culture off limits to the russians.

oh no the kremlin folks even got their hands on star wars russian trolls weaponized style was criticism as an instrument for information warfare with the purpose of pushing for political change this was from a real study by a brave jet i call or i mean who claims there's been a force that was fighting to make the last jet i fail wow thirty seven pages remember how the movie got booed at when those need fans couldn't forgive the director for spoiler alert killing luke skywalker and forgive him for going against all the tropes so dearly cherished by the fandom remember how the star wars lovers army even campaign to fund a remake well now you know who did it the sith sorry the russians had a great disturbance in the fall as is millions of us is suddenly cried out into the

sun the sun's to prove it the guy behind the research analyzed almost a thousand online messages for the director and his result was more than half of the hate tweets came from trolls some of them were russian. the director didn't just pay attention he shared the link to the study with his twitter followers. mark. it wasn't disney not even the director it was the damn ski's. fighting fake news that's what we've heard from web search giant google right from the moment the first false reports did. they have to take the news problem very very seriously we have to think about what we can do there we have very clear policies in place with it just that some of our policies we're moving really really fast with what we can control but no the crusader itself is in the spotlight over

fake this investigation by the u.k.'s times newspaper has uncovered the search giant allowed fake websites to buy advertising space under terms like fake credit card that works well google offered the service for run one pondok click and even allegedly came up with its own suggestions offering to buy similar search terms to use many indeed see it as a breach of the company's core values we value honesty and fairness so we don't allow the promotion of products or services that are designed to enable dishonest behavior well google was quick to respond claiming over three billion so-called were blocked last year alone technology consultant bill muse sees the greatest effort is focused on the most profitable areas and fact checking sometimes comes further done. i think it's notable that. we're

looking at areas where they generate the most money for their own services and that is in the targeting of they have put a lot of resources into making the algorithms far more sophisticated where they have lacked sophistication such as in the identification of insight for materials inappropriate materials and some of the fraudulent activity that we're looking at today those are areas which aren't actually front and center in terms of their ad business and therefore there's been less resource put into these areas in terms of making the algorithms more sophisticated what we need to see is google and facebook and others stepping up and actually improving those algorithms otherwise they're going to face some fairly draconian regulation the scandal surrounding donald trump supreme court nominee is entering

a new turf tree as brett kavanaugh battles three allegations of sexual misconduct his name and face are being much seen in every headline cycle and the partisan battle is being fought through fashion. supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh brett kavanaugh cavanagh judge dr christine blazin forty pool cues this cavanagh of sexually assaulting her when the two were both in high school. and never had sexual intercourse or anything close to it during high school or for many years after that in some crowds i was probably a little on our working we shot i got my inexperience. tried to hide.

i drank beer with my friends almost everyone did i liked. i still like.

running battles in the chilean capital as students fight back against a controversial new law the details coming up after this.

seems wrong. just don't all. get to shape our. equals betrayal. this world's a. chance to look for common ground. all right let's start on the west coast of america work california is home to progressive tech giants a whole lot just like alphabet facebook for instance those until all public companies will have to keep in step because the u.s. state has made it a legal requirement that at least one woman must sit on every board of directors

and the last see must happen by the end of twenty nine deen and not number is going to increase to three in the coming years companies could also face fines of at least one hundred thousand dollars for not complying. the long awaited for many of the bill however provoked concern with the state's chamber of commerce saying it will prioritize gender over other aspects of diversity. creates discrimination now against other people in favor of women who might not even be qualified i mean you're talking about putting one woman in place there and now we're having to mandate that where there are many women in the workplace that have been working hard so rather than hoping for or encouraging in the workplace or to be equal treatment of women who do a good job now we're just regulating the mandating it which is undoubtedly going to cause anarchy in the workplace is going to cause dissension among people perhaps amongst other women who have been working hard wondering why this woman got chosen

just to meet a certain quota i think it's absolutely ridiculous to suggest that there is not a single woman qualified you know for the board of any public company in california i think we all know them and loads of women who are super well qualified of the question should be why haven't they been appointed to those schools already why have we put up with this outdated you know white male boys' club for so so loam i think there are a lot of people on boards in california and all over the world you want qualified and i'm afraid to say the vast majority of them all men it only causes tension to grow against women against the very party that they're trying to eliminate discrimination over and so that's going to end out only cause backfiring a lot more animosity against women not just from other men in the workplace who have been working very hard but from other women in the workplace who might not be chosen to fit this one woman quota type thing for women who aren't going to be doing that and so you know it's causing dissension it's really going against it and

it's going to continue to backfire against that until we change who we are intrinsically as americans in the workplace allowing equal rights because there are deserving of it and not because the law mandates absolutely california should and will in the back of the success of this legislation for the legislation that mandates that there be a person of color on board and then to put people of color and so on and so forth i think that's absolutely not conflicting issues it shouldn't be the case that women and people of color who incidentally many women are also people of color but we shouldn't feel. there's a sort of diversity spot and we all have to fight for it we should feel like we're all part of a movement that's working towards better balance on boards and working towards a future which people where companies like this belong to all of us not to a tiny you know pie on my island style corporate elite which unfortunately seems to be sort of you know a club which no one can break at the moment the south american country of chile is in focus today thoughts because riot police have been deployed to its capital

santiago to break up a student demonstration several arrests have been made water come in was used against protesters. i thought. i. thought. it through. the students were protesting the new so named express expulsion law now it gives authorities the right to expel students who have been aggressive with police officers teachers and other students or who have done this property critics say it's an attempt to limit free speech and could be misused to punish even peaceful protesters. oil prices are hovering close to a four year high as worries grow over

a tightening in global supply due to washington sanctions on iran the united states plans to renew punitive measures against tehran in early november following its writter all from the iran nuclear deal a move strongly opposed by european leaders we heard exclusively from the iraqi foreign minister on how the crisis between iraq's neighbor iran and the u.s. could be resolved. speaking of iraq's relations with washington and iran bear in mind that iran is our close neighbor that we have a long border with though that we also have common history and a lot of similarities in social and cultural sphere is on the other hand we are grateful that the u.s. supported us in the past is a little when it comes to tensions between the two iraq doesn't turn into a bullhorn against these countries we control our own will we do not participate in blockades either directly or in directly such blockades only strike the most vulnerable groups of people the ill elderly and children with the if there's a warming in relations between the u.s.

and north korea why can't there be one between washington and iran or north korea or in the u.s. where a great erodes the agreement reached on the about ministration overcame the divisions using common sense can still be enacted we have always been ready to take part in fixing the problems but we're not going to be an integra part of that we weren't supports any state striving to spark a war in our region to them yeah that story is something we will be closely following through right they days ahead america's ambassador to nato is on something of a damage control mission after pledging to quote take russian missiles the development of which the u.s. believes violates a cold war era treaty. the killer measures would be to take out the. missiles that are. developed by russia in violation of the treaty so that would be the countermeasure legally all russia's

foreign ministry fired back saying public officials should be very current for when it comes to aggressive rhetoric we spoke to international affairs commentator jonathan steele on this he believes the u.s. ambassador was actually trying to convince nato to boost the fence spend. well i think it says something about the need to keep nature active and spending more and more money on defense it's just a she made her comments in advance of a no to today meeting in brussels of which u.s. secretary of defense dramatics will be there and i think she's trying to raise interest and. raise a little bit of alarm as well at same time these are very are carrying issues to do with the range of different missiles. bridges still being developed they have they're not being flown yet and so it's almost a theological argument because we're talking about things that isare abstract and unknowable invisible to ordinary people and to most of the intelligence agencies no tear itself except the american ones so you just have to take the moment trust.

russia's military has released video of an earth defense system being delivered to syria it's being deployed there to protect personnel after the dawning of a russian military aircraft we go off the syrian coast here some of the forty nine elements in total being handed over to damascus including four world launchers. i . believe u.s. state department reacted to the s. three hundred deployment saying it could escalate the situation in the region to

remind you syria accidentally shot down a russian il twenty reconnaissance aircraft during an attack by israeli fighter jets the kremlin the qs israel of using the larger russian plane cover and israel confirmed conducting the earth strikes but say it's jets were outside syrian airspace when the plane was done it's. who wins if anyone from the trial saga currently being played out in a washington courtroom cross-talk tries to on pick on its next. no you don't accept the school just a little dusting was ready to be a little. piece

. of television. and i don't buy the stuff i love me. why doesn't somebody doesn't know it's a mask you never know what's happening and whether they're shooting with the birds or. mistrust the tibetans are. going to. be just like listening to you but i'm addicted to sit with us and in the muslims all these clear when the. join me every first date on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of

the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see that. the way to the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants. crossing the most of us just a little simple they want to take on most wanted us to some just about us but many of them look for refuge in the so-called sentry sides of the refuse to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities best person asked bank of mom. mostly to morrow i've ended up as i'm not getting a lot of class and i want that. they can watch as they all choose to stay in the country with donald trump in the white house all of the political rivals because both of you what is the who beat up to the. offense it struggles of many couples won't. deal with the put simply devil's spawn both of you up as opposed to the bulk

of. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to. have to go right to be press for survival before three of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the house. there should be.
