u.s. national security adviser says washington will review its agreements that leave america exposed to the international criminal court hours after the same body oldest washington to lift some of its around sanctions. but prime minister attempts to dump pressure to reason may get a letter of no confidence from their own party members just moments before giving a key speech. also this hour donald trump was the king of saudi arabia that he wouldn't last two weeks without the u.s. military the u.s. president needs to accuse opec of influencing oil prices. as it. were protecting you you might not be there for two weeks without you have to pay for your diligence. also mixing big politics with energy president clinton suggests

that donald trump should take a look at the merits to find out who's responsible for rising oil prices. low for me in the team and out here in moscow i want to welcome to our yourself today first off u.s. national security advisor john bolton has announced that america is pulling out of an optional protocol to the vienna convention which will keep the u.s. from being sued at the international court of justice and it looks like the u.s. could soon leave other international agreements as well as our washington correspondent american explains to simplify it a bit what the u.s. is withdrawing from is an optional protocol on disputes the vienna convention which will prevent countries like iran from suing the u.s. at the haitian national security adviser john bolton tried to justify the withdrawal by portraying the provision as a violation of u.s. sovereignty citing a case brought on by palestine contesting the decision to move the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem but let's check out how bolton explained it. we

will commence a review of all international agreements that may still expose the united states to purported binding jurisdiction dispute resolution in the international court of justice the united states will not sit idly by as faceless politicized claims are brought against us earlier today pompei announced to the world the us was leaving a friendship treaty with iran that established diplomatic ties with the country back in one nine hundred fifty five it was apparently a response to the international court of justice brawling that ordered washington to lift iranian sanctions on humanitarian goods which pompei are described as iranian propaganda. or as attempt to interfere with the sovereign rights of the united states to take a lawful actions necessary to protect our national security and iran is abusing the i.c.j. for political and propaganda purposes of course this isn't the first time the us has showed a complete disregard for the international system earlier this year the u.s. withdrew from the human rights council but this leaves one question how will the us

or any western country be kept in check without an effective international governing body it looks like this will revive a some of those discussions. video agencies been asking people in tehran what they think about the international court ruling on lifting some of the iran sanctions. the world knows that the us is while late to the war they don't have an all of their own were they signed the nuclear deal and now they've changed their mind even those problems with our country accepted that this act is a legal donald trump a scrape really crazy what is the same when he doesn't understand what his same. officials and even civilians say we should stand up against america's excessive. this ruling will not please mr trump and his friends and we will see their reaction but it will be futile. that even the us acted against human rights the hague ruin is completely sound food medicine thirty was an old go towards people's livelihoods

they should never have to leave them. the executive director of the ron paul peace institute believes that these latest developments leave america looking like an unreliable partner well you know you this is the another example of the united states talking about the rules based democratic order and expecting everyone else to follow it but when it comes time for the united states to follow what you know they just simply change the rules and i'm certainly not a fan of the united states being governed by world bodies and accountable world bodies but the issue with the with the palestine issue and also with the iran issue is that and iran specifically you know we signed this agreement in one hundred fifty five agreed to be adjudicated by the international court of justice and then when they rule against the united states we say ok we're going to take our toys and go home it doesn't look good it sets a bad precedent in it also makes the united states look like look like someone you can't do business with overseas. britain's role in conservative parties wrapped up its annual conference and despite speeches of unity the prime minister's positions

under further scrutiny from party members just moments before theresa may was due to give her speech she was dealt yet another blow with a letter of no confidence not that it seems to dampen the spirit. reason is quick i was dancing cream queen which we had to change for copyright reasons that wasn't her first public performance of this kind as you can see here and it seemed to be the prime minister responding to those who mocked her dance moves while she was on a tour of africa in august on the situation to report on the conservative party. certainly a curious political times here in the u.k. as we speak and this annual conservative party conference has wrapped up to quite a bit of drama despite british prime minister theresa may putting up a show of keeping up appearances including with that quirky dance to dancing queen

despite a speech that was really seen as make or break for her because of course much of the speech was dedicated to theresa may trying to show that she has things under control especially when it comes to bracks it having essentially now standing at a point of a potential no deal brags that having so no lots of division inside the u.k. and of course essentially having created basically a civil war inside her own country may was trying to show that she can still fix things however before her speech she was dealt quite a shock blow when a letter of no confidence has been sent by a tory m.p. going public with him essentially calling for her to go let's see what that letter said. there comes a point the wind world is not the right way forward we need a strong leader someone who believes and brags that and some want to delay but will the electorate voted for the prime minister seems incapable of doing this well

fifteen percent of tory m.p.'s or forty people would have to send in similar letters for any such thing to be considered however this still of course added fuel to the fire especially given that earlier we saw two reserve maize our former defiant foreign secretary boris johnson take to the stage as well and essentially trashing her approach to bracks said amidst standing ovations and earlier in september a leaked tory party memo had suggested that theresa may be forced to step down as soon as may twenty nine teams and even provided a list of possible contenders so what with all of this discontent going on inside her own party at these uncertain times about how things will move forward there's a big question of whether or not it's really the time for humerus down says well in her speech to conference prime minister many insisted that she will see out her so-called checkers plan on bricks it and rebuff the idea of

a second referendum she also outlined a new strategy for battling cancer and set of fuel duty for use will be part of the government's next budget euro m.p. gerard batten from the u.k. dependent party though thinks to reason may's words mean action. i listen to the speech today. and it's what she does best really which is a lot of rhetoric find words which don't really amount to anything certainly don't translate into actions i think she's going to carry on on the same course which is to completely ineffectually negotiate with the she was a reminder up until the day of the referendum and then after the referendum she gets intrusted with the most important job in british politics you know for the last two generations which is to get us out of the so why would you believe anything she says. i can only judge your own results and so far there haven't been any result he talks about seeking respect from the e.u. that's the other thing well why would they respect you if you're not actually telling them what it is that you intend to do and you keep on asking how do we

leave can we have these can we have a little bit respect somebody like that. donald trump has claimed that he told the saudi monarch that he wouldn't last two weeks if it wasn't for the u.s. military the u.s. president's fiery assessment came at a campaign rally in the state of mississippi we didn't give him any specifics about the conversation that he had with the saudi king when he was referencing. we project saudi arabia would you say the rich. and i love the king solomon but. we're protecting you you might not be there for two weeks without us you have to pay for your military. was referring to the us being the largest arms supplier to saudi arabia with over sixty percent of all saudi weaponry bored from america washington also has sanctions in place against riyadh's regional rivals like iran the us leaders words also seem to be part of his last twitter campaign to opec including saudi arabia to lower oil prices by increasing production he made his

frustrations public to leaders at the u.n. general assembly last week opec. and opec nations are as usual ripping off the rest of the world we defended many of these nations for nothing. and then they take advantage of us by giving us high oil prices not good i'll go reaction earlier from international oil economist mom to solomon who told me that trumps wasting his breath if he thinks his comments will change oil production all prices. he is afraid that his pot of tea my clue is the election because of rising oil prices this he cannot change no matter how much we shout or even prices going up because they. buy good fundamentals in the global oil market so he can do nothing about the am bad it comes out of love goes to stop supply saudi arabia with weapons because its

a good source of income for the president is not helping or in price in going down it's pushing the prices up especially after his withdrawal from the nuclear agreement with iran in view of the escalation between iran and saudi arabia saudi arabia seem studio the protection of the united states so again relation will will remain as it is though all the saudis are getting fed up with out by present a. couple comes arm twisting and it's possible influence on oil prices as a topic president putin a question on wednesday he was speaking at a major energy form in moscow in which he suggested in no uncertain terms that the american president's got no one but himself to blame for the recent spike in oil prices. but it was a good we had a very nice meeting with the american president in helsinki if we had touched on

the subject of oil price and influence i would have told him if you want to find the main culprit for the oil price hike don't you just have to take a look in the mirror which it's true geopolitics do play a role in oil price hikes that's a fact i saw any time president putin touched on the energy issue on wednesday later in the day he traveled to some petersburg to meet austrian chancellor sebastian kurtz the two leaders discuss the future of the gas pipeline project north stream to as many in a culture of an hour report. the russian president held one on one talks with the chancellor here in st petersburg now the two leaders spoke on a range of different topics but energy corp top the agenda of this meeting russian president nor in the e.u. countries not to repeat the mistake of bilge area which lapped the south stream project and to stand by their national interests when it comes to energy supplies and chancellor stress that european countries that are currently involved in the

north stream two project will continue their support. we all know what happened bulgaria eventually caved into external pressure and pulled out of the project now they regret doing that it would be very unfortunate if the whole of europe were to look like bulgaria in its inability to defend its interests the e.u. is keeping an eye on its interests here so rest assured that the european states taking part in the north stream two project will continue supporting it and want to get it running. both sides also talked about the situation in syria the russian president said that he does know at first see any military action in syria province and that keeping peace in that particular area is the number one goal. we are making headway with regards to so i have good reason to believe we will achieve our goals but this would mean that no military operation will be needed in it we don't

want military action for the sake of military action but the president also stressed that turkey has been very helpful in resolving the situation in the problems but stressed that it all would have been impossible without the participation of iran and serious government so as you can see the russian president has been on the move this wednesday and he made a number of headlines statements on a range of different issues. and a historic move north and south korean soldiers have begun removing landmines from the dimitroff zone which is separated the two nations for more than half a century the buffer zone runs for two hundred forty eight kilometers was created when the cease fire was declared in the korean war in one nine hundred fifty three it's believed that these are some of the first pictures of the operation in action around two million mines are thought to be scattered between the border fences which are guarded by hundreds of thousands of troops the agreement to clear the

mines and destroy guard posts was agreed last month after the two leaders met in pyongyang during that summit. north korea agreed to demolish its nuclear facilities and test sites and accepted international inspections both nations agreed to eliminate so-called war dangers and set up a peace own on their shared border the leaders pledge to connect railways and roads between the two countries and help families divided by the korean war to meet once again they also vowed to make a joint bid for the twenty thirty two summer olympics. a. reality t.v. dating and supporting campaigns against sexual harassment just don't mix according to a headmistress of a leading london girls' school she says impressionable pupils need to choose between the two if they ever want to be taken seriously directing her frustration at a show called love island which is one huge audiences in britain. what i mean by that is can a couple up do use a lot of island need to end last island might have to decide which camp wearing

i think we might have to ask our girls actually we can buy wean as he was speaking at the annual headmasters and headmistresses conference in manchester love island is a british reality show where contestants build relationships and i'm in your can villa it's a mix of scantily clad well toned contestants and their sexual exploits have left that teacher feeling that the message of the show is that you have to be beautiful to deserve being loved. i got reaction earlier from a quality or specialist lynda bell also and lucy berrisford a broadcaster and psychotherapist who hosts sex and relationships advice so. i think we have a greater problem to deal with which is our young men are young boys and they need to learn things i'm not sure that they are and in that sense i didn't think the teacher wasn't entirely right but the more you tell young people not to do something the more interested in they are in doing it but i do think there will to be more emphasis on what is appropriate behavior for young men it's giving the

opportunity and we saw it this year in particular in the series is that a lot of the women in the show were shown to be very strong very. opinionated but when they were treated badly or if they themselves treated other people badly they were able to call that person out on it so for me if it it perfectly with the meta template which is saying women you no longer have to put up with rubbish treatment in general i would agree with you but i don't i don't hear the conversation the social conversations of political cultural conversations about men's behavior men's culture some of these young men are echoing and. reflecting what is in appalling literature. images of women and i think it's called pornography there and i'm hearing about young men and i'm talking about very young watching looking at pornography and having views about

women based upon it unrealistic views the culture needs to change surely in which of course they are and there needs to be a new turn around and women unworn boys can have sexual relationships with the each other over a certain age a reasonable age but the missing link to me is that thinking and learning i learn around is now early fall for that well actually both all sorts of genders and sexual orientations came out and talked about it as you know has quite a following across the piece also domestic violence charity came out refuge came out talking about how concerned it was that the behavior of one. of the men in the program and i think what's difficult about having a head mistress who says oh we can't have this is incompatible with trying to instill healthy values in our young men and women young girls and boys is that that message is not being received so you kind of need to co-opt the material and

the platforms that young people are using and i don't want to. push young people into only what i approve but there are there is too much emphasis on girls and not enough on men's behavior in boys behavior that's that's the essence of what i'm saying i think the head teacher was wrong in the sense that she could use the contents of the of the program to try to educate and to discuss issues rather than banning it. protesters lined the streets of berlin on wednesday to oppose a rightwing march through the german capital the demonstrations were being held as germany celebrated the annual day of german unity which commemorates the reunification of east and west germany hundreds of counter protesters shouting slogans in alabama as an opposition to the march the police attempted to keep the right wing demonstration and counter-protest to separate from each other using barricades and vans to prevent clashes between the groups. elsewhere in germany the

daughter of a right wing politicians being disqualified from a poetry contest after reading out and the migrant is the first. look at. what you just heard was part of a poetry competition that was organized in southwest germany by a council as part. an anti racism initiative the entry you heard was by a murderer the fourteen year old daughter of a right wing german politician her controversial entry provoked this reaction in the hall it was a it was 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 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 came it's the two main suspects in custody a two asylum applicants one from iraq and one from syria were was i was in 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 they weren't really expected to build on the too much sense that we've just had tectonic shifts and earthquake it looks like the c.d.u. will be electing a chance at the last dramatically is it to the to last know their country it's a break in 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 d. has grown stronger the shock for everyone is how much. 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 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 and 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 party would 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 election and that alleged assault on american democracy now russian trolls are up to something even more sinister they've had

a galaxy not so far far away apparently targeting hollywood in the star wars franchise as he put trying to explain. 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 star wars 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 scoll or i mean who claims there has 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 have a great disturbance in the force as is millions of doses suddenly cried out into the sun his sons 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 looking forward to reading it but what the top line describes is consistent with my experience online well some vans got even more disgruntled when they said they found their own tweets 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 skis. fighting fake news that's what we've heard from web search giant google right from the moment the first false reports sneaked in they have to take the problem very

very seriously we have to think about what we can do there we have very clear policies in place where for just that some of our policies we're moving really really fast with what we can control our but now the spotlight is turned on google itself allegedly over a blunder of its own making an investigation by the u.k.'s times newspaper has uncovered the search giant allowed fake websites to buy advertising space under terms like a fake credit card that works google offer the service for approximately one pound a click reportedly even came up with further suggestions offering to buy similar search terms to boost views many though 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. google was quick to respond claiming that more than three billion so-called bad ads were blocked last year alone technology consultant bill news says the greatest efforts focused on the most profitable areas and fact

checking isn't top of the list. i think it's notable that what 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 results into making the algorithms far more sophisticated where they have lacked sophistication such as in the identification of. materials inappropriate materials and so forth some of the fraudulent activity that we're looking at today those are areas which actually front and center in terms of the right business and therefore there's been less results put into these areas in terms of making the algorithms most sophisticated what we need to see is girl and facebook and others stepping up and actually improving those algorithms otherwise they're going to face some fairly draconian regulation that's the way it looks from moscow this hour thanks for checking it out see you next update from in the team is

in just over half an hour of the crosstalk. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten dollars in tampa. eighty five percent of global wealth to the bridge each week six percent market saw thirty percent just last year some with one hundred to five hundred three per second per second and one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars

industrial park but don't let the numbers over. the only numb. but you need to remember it was one and showed for a minute the one and only film but. this is the only. church secret indeed catholic priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this the geographic solution saul what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot where the previous standard is not the highest ranks of the catholic church helped conceal the accused priests from the police and justice just ended.
