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 ruling 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
8:03 pm
u.s. 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 on taser play video agency has been asking people into wrong what they think about the international court's ruling on lifting some of their wrong functions. doing i think the world knows that the us is while i did the war they don't have been all of their own words they signed the nuclear deal and now they've changed their mind even those that have problems with our country accepted that this act is a legal donald trump a scrape is it really crazy what is is saying when he doesn't understand what his same. officials and even civilians say we should stand up against america's excessive demands this ruling will not please mr trump and his friends and we will see their reaction but it will be futile because that in the us acted against human rights the hague ruin is completely sound food medicine fertilizer old go towards
8:04 pm
people slowly hoods they should never have to leave them but would see executive director at the wrong paul pace institute believes these latest developments leave america looking like an unreliable partner. well you know 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 it you know they just simply change the rules and i'm certainly not a fan of the united states being governed by world bodies unaccountable world bodies but the issue with the with the palestine issue and also with the iran issue was that the 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 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 it also makes the united states look look look like someone you can't do business with overseas. britain's ruling conservative party has wrapped up
8:05 pm
its annual conference under spice speeches of unity the prime minister's position is under further scrutiny from party members just moments before to resume a was due to give her keynote speech she was dealt yet another blow with a less of no confidence that it seems to have dumped into her spirit. to resume a small jig to apas dancing queen which we've had to change for copyright reasons wasn't her first public performance of the kind and it seemed to be the prime minister responding to those who mocks her dance moves while on a tour of africa or in august and to see a check in a report on the conservative party conference. certainly curious political times here in the u.k.
8:06 pm
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 disk. quite 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 cracks it 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 had been sent by a tory m.p. going public with him essentially calling for her to go let's see what that letter
8:07 pm
said the comes a point the loyalty is not the right way forward we need a strong leader someone who believes and brags that and some want to do with the electorate voted for the brown 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 to reserve mays former defiant foreign secretary boris johnson take to the stage as well and essentially trashing her approach to brecht's it amidst standing ovations and earlier in september a leaked tory party memo had suggested that theresa may would be forced to step down as soon as may twenty ninth and even provided a list of possible contenders so what with all of this discontent going on inside her own party at these quite uncertain times about how things will move forward
8:08 pm
there's a big question of whether or not it's really the time for humorous down says. in her speech prime minister may you insisted she will see out her so-called checkers plan on briggs's and rebuffed the idea of a second referendum she also outlined a new strategy for battling cancer and said a fuel duty freeze it will be part of the government's next budget is your m.p. gerald bason from the u.k. independence party things to reason may's words won't mean action or listen to the streets to dari 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 in effect completely ineffectually negotiate with the she was a reminder up until the day of the referendum and then after the referendum she gets interested with the most important job in british politics you know for the
8:09 pm
last two generations which is to get us out of the you so why would you believe anything she says you can only judge your own results and so far they haven't been any result she 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 this come have a little bit respect somebody like that. our trump has claimed that the saudi monarch wouldn't last two weeks if not for the u.s. military the u.s. president's fiery assessment came at a campaign rally in the u.s. state of mississippi but he didn't give any specifics about a conversation he had with the saudi king which he referenced. we project saudi arabia would you say the rich. and i love the king king solomon but i said. we're protecting you you might not be there for two weeks without us you have to

8:12 pm
will will remain as it is though all the saudis are getting fed up with out by present a problem against them the law trumps on twisting on its possible influence on oil prices is a topic that president putin addressed in a major energy forum in moscow on wednesday he suggested in no uncertain terms that the american presidents called no one but himself to blame for the recent spike in oil prices. but there 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 that 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 though that's not the only time president putin touched on the energy issue on wednesday lace in the day he traveled to st petersburg to meet austrian chancellor sebastian curds its two leaders discuss the future of the gas pipeline

8:16 pm
hawks. will make this manufactured consent to instant to the public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. to ignore middle of the room sick. room i mean real news is real world. welcome back now protesters lined the streets of berlin on wednesday to oppose a right wing march through the german capital but demonstrations coincided with the
8:17 pm
annual unity days that gratian zte who commemorates the reunification of east and west germany hundreds of counter protesters shouted slogans and held a banners in opposition to the march the police attempted to keep the right wing demonstration and the counter protesters separate from each other using barricades and vans to prevent clashes between the groups. but i'll swear in germany the teenage daughter of a right wing politician has been disqualified from a poetry contest after reading out an anti my good poem is the verse. 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.
8:18 pm
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 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 camden it's the two main suspects
8:19 pm
in custody a two asylum applications one from iraq and one from syria was i 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 after quick it looks like the c.d.u. will be electing the chancellor but they lost dramatically is it a bit an ass know 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 metsi 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
8:20 pm
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 that if d. 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
8:21 pm
punish them of 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 hit the galaxy not so far far away apparently targeting hollywood and the star wars franchise as easily push anchor picks up the story. 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.
8:22 pm
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 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 sitz sorry the russians had
8:23 pm
a great disturbance in the force as if millions of voices suddenly cried out into the sun this sounds 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 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 eldest questioned if it
8:24 pm
is worth going to the cinema to see any more disney star wars so it did nothing to make me change my mind. mark a very disturbing it wasn't disney not even the director it was the damn room. a palestinian teenager has been killed by israeli troops during protests in the northern gaza strip the gaza health ministry reports a fifteen year old reportedly died of a head injury thousands of people took part in the protests at least ten inches to disperse the demonstrators the israeli military used tear gas rubber bullets and even live fire in response to me and told rocks fire bombs and grenades at troops israel claims its actions were taken to protect its borders. well thank you for joining us on r.t.

8:27 pm
in the why is it that. this should. greetings and sail you take us into days world money will always be king but coming in a close second disinformation and whoever controls manipulates or pollutes the information is generally considered the queen on the chess board monies tired old one space moving dusty came which makes the recent influx of news concerning unofficial officials allegedly manipulating everything from public comments on bank mergers and f c c f.c.c. votes to wikipedia entries on the devil's triangle so all timidly concerning the intercept is reporting that according to documents uncovered in
8:28 pm
a freedom of information act request the common submitted to a top banking regulator supporting a twenty fifteen merger between one was a bank and c.i. t. bank were attributed to people who never sent them and that the fake comments appear to tie directly back to joseph the head of the regulatory. agency overseeing the merger. by the way is the former c.e.o. of one west bank. talk about the old fox investigating the chicken coop meanwhile on the other side of town it appears that someone has been rather busy adding new entries in the wikipedia to either cover up for or mock supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh his congressional testimony on the now new torrijos devil's triangle reference to those high school yearbook. according to usa today the wikipedia page for devil's triangle had a new definition of a popular drinking game enjoyed by friends of judge brett kavanaugh the entry was
