thanks for joining us live from moscow. welcome to the program. first breaking news coming in this hour the international court of justice has ordered the united states to lift some of its sanctions on iran that ruling covers restrictions linked to the humanitarian goods as well as civil aviation tehran filed a complaint back in july they said that pulling out of the iranian nuclear deal the u.s. had breached another court struck well we're back in one thousand nine hundred fifty five let's cross live now to charlotte. on this decision charlotte pretty big news what more do we know about the court's ruling. well this is a clear victory for turan who brought this case against the united states the
7:02 am
international court of justice the highest court has ruled today that the usa must remove some of the sanctions that it imposed on iran back in may two thousand and eight hundred so earlier this year now that ruling says that they must remove impediments on free expectation of things such as medicines medical aid food stuffs agricultural stuffs also elements such as spare parts and associated services for the civil aviation authority so essentially parts for planes and it said that it needs to move the sanctions on the transfer of funds that are not subject to any restrictions now the court the i.c.j. went even further than that saying that both countries so iran and the usa must now roof rain from doing anything to aggravate each other and it also said the trumpet ministration violated the treaty of amity which was signed between the two countries back in one thousand nine hundred fifty five this was
7:03 am
a treaty at the time which was meant to bring closer relations between the two countries economic and consular and talked about encouraging mutual trade and investment between the two countries now. you may be aware the trumpet ministration posed some sanctions on iran back in may of this year that after the trumpet ministration decided that it was going to withdraw from the nuclear core that had been made with the previous administration the obama administration with iran and with several other countries in the international community a few years earlier now that withdrawal by the usa was condemned by many other countries including russia france the u.k. germany and china who all donald trump not to pull out of that a rainy and nuclear court well that judgment has come today and we have had some reaction. eddie from toronto the foreign ministry welcoming that judgment saying that it's proved that the islamic republic of iran is right and the us sanctions
7:04 am
against its people and its citizens of cruel and illegal it's worth noting that this judgment by the i.c.j. cannot be appealed it is a binding judgement however it may be difficult to enforce at the moment we're waiting for reaction from washington from the white house to that judgment by the i.c.j. but it is worth noting that the trumpet ministration has at the moment got plans to impose fresh sanctions on iran a new round of those next months will wait to see what the reaction is from the white house need all eyes on washington and to see if they will put those further sanctions now in place short of doing ski there from paris with the latest on that court ruling now the iran nuclear deal was of course signed all the way back in twenty fifteen between tehran and five permanent u.n. security council members as well as germany it took almost a decade to thrash out the deal its main aim was to put an end to
7:05 am
a long lasting standoff over iran's nuclear activities so admired war and the politics professor from the university of tehran says the u.s. sanctions on iran haven't been as punishing as washington expected. iran is already limiting the usage of the u.s. by creating we don't deal with the united states that iran is a powerful country it has neighbors so the united states impact on the iranian economy is not as great american would like it would be but i think if nothing comes out of this it is a moral victory for you it shows that the united states is violating human rights and they did it fine to make ordinary people suffer. with the iranians so it isn't food. and other headlines china is playing a more important role in the world today than the united states but what's come for a recent poll conducted by the washington based think tank the pew research center
7:06 am
it also shows that the chinese leaders more trust the global you than his american counterpart. what gets in donald trump obsessive his image sure but what else diana has been attempting to interfere in our upcoming twenty eight. election i've done a lot of business where china china's market distortions china china china sees route china talking about china's role 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 to china overtake the u.s. some of them will be sure to learn when i think china will overtake the u.s. china's got a good chance of doing their way above everybody else people underestimate him and
7:07 am
he has 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 but people are not so keen on beijing taking the reigns as the globe's moral compass and think the us is still the best option is the world voice of reason trying to place the rest would be copied from the heart of those 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're sure a. big loser. but that's not to
7:08 am
say that trump and doesn't have those who hang on his every word tase huge in the philippines it seems most people there love nothing more than an outspoken well to mention provocative man in control and you don't even have to be able to hold a chew. the. food you. use 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
7:09 am
right now with israel that we have or had the who is close now is maybe ever before . ah. with deter say and netanyahu on his side chant passes the pause but with china's win a sense 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. one. i don't think it's possible that the three zero scare be made between one and five now his influence around three come on let's be honest donald trump is trump. over to germany now where the daughter of a right wing politician has been disqualified from
7:10 am
a poetry contest after reading out an antique migrant poem is the verse itself. 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 whole. i well despite that reaction she was disqualified from the competition in fact there were boos when a different winner was announced there has been backlash though her mother the alternative
7:11 am
for germany m.p. nicole who 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 surprise. 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 came it's the two main suspects in custody a two asylum applicants one from iraq and one from syria were was i was 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 in twenty seventeen with just less than thirteen percent of the vote
7:12 am
they weren't really expected to build on much too much he answered slowly just tired of tectonic shifts and after it looks like the cd you will be electing a chance at the last dramatically is it a bitter loss no their country it's it's a break in our democracy for the first time in seventy years we have a nationalistic right wing populist party partially reflecting nazi ideology in parliament it is no surprise that ada 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 side with alternative for germany the most recent poll showing that they would take over eighteen percent of the vote if an election was held today coming only second to the union of the c.d.u. and c.s.u. headed up by angle of merkel dissatisfaction with anglo merkel's government is reasonably high here in germany but what these recent polls show is that if an
7:13 am
election was to be held tomorrow well the chancellor wouldn't have enough votes to put together the current coalition government and a considerable minority among the general population is lost its trust. into the christian democratic union into the social democratic party into 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 we 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. our first that was the presidential elections and that led to the salt on american democracy now those russian trolls are up to something more sinister they've hit a galaxy not so far away apparently targeting hollywood and the star wars franchise
7:14 am
. 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 are 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
7:15 am
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 sitz sorry the russians had a great disturbance in the force as if millions of voices suddenly cried out into a sudden decide to prove it the guy behind the research analyzed almost a thousand on line 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 looking forward to reading it but what the top line describes
7:16 am
is consistent with my experience online well some vans got even more disgruntled when they said they found their own tweet in the research it was a bad movie highly unlikely that it was a dry run for bots to practice we hated this film too loved rogue one but were totally underwhelmed by the last gen don so much so that my oldest questioned if it is worth going to the cinema to see any more disney star was solid did nothing to make me change my mind. it wasn't disney not even the director it was the damn. fighting fake news that's what we've heard from web search giant google right from the moment from the first false report sneaked in. they have to take the news
7:17 am
problem very very seriously we have to think about what we can do there we have very clear policies in place we've adjusted some of our policies we're moving really really fast with what we can control another crusader itself is in the spotlight over fake honestly an investigation by the u.k.'s times newspaper has uncovered the search giant allowed fake websites the buy advertising space and the terms like fake credit card that works and google offered the service for around a pound for one click even allegedly came up with its own suggestions offering to buy similar terms to boost views on the items and many see this 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 and we was quick to respond they claimed over three billion the so-called bad ads were blocked just last year to knowledge
7:18 am
consultant bill muse says the greatest effort is focused on the most profitable areas and fact checking sometimes comes further down the list i think it's notable that where 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 so for 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 results 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 running battles in

a cillian capital as students fight back against the controversial new law the details coming up just after this short break. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us is over one trillion dollars and. more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be ultra rich eight point six percent market so thirty percent just last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and this point rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remember in one one doesn't show you bored to

miss the one and only. america is a house deeply divided and that division only continues the entire brett kavanaugh saga has turned into blood sport to many each and every one of us pick a side we're in new territory and that place is called winner takes all. california is silicon valley is home to progressive employers like tech giants apple alphabet and facebook to now all public companies there would have to keep in step the u.s. state has made it a legal requirement that at least one woman must sit on every board of directors and the law says it must happen and by the end of twenty nineteen with that number of creasing to three in the coming years the companies could also face fines of at
7:21 am
least one hundred thousand dollars for not complying long awaited the bill has provoked some concerns the state's chamber of commerce has said 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 encouraging in the workplace there to be equal treatment of women who do a good job now we're just regulating than 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 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
7:22 am
should be why haven't they been appointed to those schools already why have we put up with this. 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 a lot mandates absolutely california should and will in the back of the success of this legislation for the legislation that mandates that there be
7:23 am
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 like there's a lot of diversity. 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 actually built where companies like this belong to all of us not to a tiny you know pie on my island stale corporate elite which i'm fortunate seems to be sort of you know a cop which no one can break at the moment. riot police have been deployed in the chinese capital santiago to break up a student demonstration several arrests have been made and want to kind of use the protests. i. i i i.

the students were protesting a new so-called express expulsion law that gives you authority has the right to expel students who've been aggressive with police officers teachers as well as other students or have damaged property critics are saying it's an attempt to limit free speech and could be misused to punish even peaceful protesters. that's it for the team and myself join us again at three pm most good time for those latest global news updates. thanks to the soon. to be a little bit. of

traffic or offer. being paid past lanes also known as paid prioritize asian and gutting these regulations has been the feather in the cap of f.c.c. chairman and former of rising lawyer by since being appointed by us president donald trump and he would have he would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling californians as well as toys to other states in the union and a coalition of big tech companies all fighting to reinstate the neutrality rules that apply neutered in a three to two party line vote back in december of two thousand and seventeen but just as things were were looking bleak for. with california's new net neutrality regulations set to take effect in january first and our good old buddy jeff sessions in the u.s. the justice department to this week brought a lawsuit against the state.
