10:02 pm
simplify it a bit what the u.s. is withdrawing from is an optional protocol on disputes to the vienna convention which will prevent countries like iran from suing the u.s. at the hague national security adviser john bolton tried to justify the withdrawal by patrolling the provision as a violation of u.s. sovereignty citing a case brought on by palestine contesting the decision to move the us 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 ruling that ordered washington to
10:03 pm
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 on his rep leave idio has been asking people into wrong while they think about the international court's ruling on lifting some of their wrongs son actions. doing on the world knows that the u.s. is wiling to build war they don't have an all of their own were they signed the
10:04 pm
nuclear deal and now they've changed their mind even though they have 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 because that in the us acted against human rights the he grew and is completely sound food medicine thirty was old go towards people's livelihoods they should never have to leave the. 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 when it comes time for the united states to follow what you know they just simply change the rules and i'm certainly not
10:05 pm
a fan of the united states being governed by world bodies and accountable world bodies but the issue with that with the palestine issue and also with the iran issue is that there are 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 and it also makes the united states look like look like someone you can't do business with overseas. buttons we're in conservative party has wrapped up its annual conference and despite speeches of you know save the prime minister's position is underfed the scrutiny from party members just moments before to raise them a was due to give her king notes speech she was dealt yet another blow with a letter of no confidence note that it seems to have down penned her spirits.
10:06 pm
was the reason may's small jig that to apas don't sing queen which we had to change for copyright reasons wasn't a first public performance of the kind and it seems the prime minister was responding to those who don't move as well in a tour of africa. and to see a check in a report on the conservative party conference. certainly 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 teresa me trying to show that she has things under control especially when it comes to bracks it having essentially now standing at
10:07 pm
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 had 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 loyalty 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 to reserve maize our former
10:08 pm
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 have suggested that theresa may 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 uncertain times about how things will move forward there's a big question of whether or not it's really the time for humorous dances in her speech prime minister made insisted she will see out her check is planning on breaks this and rebuffed the idea of a second referendum she also outlined a new strategy for buckling counsellor and said i feel duty free is will be part of the government's next budget year or m. pay gerrard and from the u.k. independence party thinks to reason may's words won't mean action. i listen to the
10:09 pm
streets to dari and it's what she does best really which is a lot of rhetoric foreign 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 intrusted with the most important job in british politics you know for the 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 you 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 can we have a little bit respect somebody like that. donald trump pounds claim 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 protect 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 pay for your village and trump was referring to the us being the largest arms supplier to saudi arabia with over sixty percent of all saudi weaponry bought from america washington also has sanctions in place against riyadh's regional rivals like iran the us leaders words also seem to be a part of his last thing twitter campaign to local oil cartel opec which includes saudi arabia to know all prices by increasing production he made his frustrations
10:11 pm
public to leaders at the un 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. international oil economist mundo son i'm a told us trump is wasting his breath if he thinks his comments will change oil production and prices. he is afraid that his pot of tea my lose the election because of rising oil prices this he cannot change no matter how much he shouts oil prices are going up because there are. good fundamentals in the global oil market so he can do nothing about the am benteke and out of love the goal is to stop supply saudi arabia with weapons
10:12 pm
because it's a good source of income for the president prob 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 and the protection of the united states saudi relation will will remain as it is though all the saudis are getting fed up with out by present a problem against them. on their own chums arm twisting honest possible influence on oil prices is a topic president putin addressed in a major energy forum in moscow on wednesday he suggested in no uncertain terms that the american president a piece in nash border the leaders pledge to connect railways and roads between the

10:15 pm
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 i 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 not too much said skills. just tired of

bullets and even live fire in response palestinians hold rocks fire bombs and grenades at troops israel claims its actions were taken to protect its borders. well first it was the presidential election in that alleged assault on american democracy but now russian trolls are up to something even more sinister they've hit a galaxy not so far far away apparently targeting hollywood and the star wars franchise artie's 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.
10:19 pm
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
10:20 pm
a great disturbance in the force as if millions of voices suddenly cried out into the sun his son just 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 variants 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 rolled one but were
10:21 pm
totally underwhelmed by the last gen done so much so that my oldest questioned if it is worth going to the cinema to see any more disney star wars solo did nothing to make me change my mind. mark. it wasn't disney not even the director it was the dare. fighting fake news thousand 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 for just that some of our policies were moving really really fast with what we can control but now the spotlight has turned on google itself allegedly over a blunder of its own making an investigation by the u.k.'s times newspaper has uncovered this third's giant allowed fake websites to buy advertising space on the

terms like a fake credit card that works google offer the service for approximately one pound a click and reportedly even came up with further suggestions offering to buy similar search terms to boost the views many 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 over three billion so-called bad ads were blogs last year alone technology consultant bill news says the greatest effort is focused on the most profitable areas and fact checking isn't top of the list 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
10:23 pm
have liked sophistication such as in the identification of insight for materials inappropriate materials and sort of 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 own 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. reality t.v. dating and supporting campaigns against sexual harassment just don't mix as according to the headmistress of a leading loan doing girls' school she says impressionable pupils need to choose between the two if they ever want to be taken seriously directing her frustration
10:24 pm
at a show called love island which is won over huge audiences in britain what i mean by that is can we couple up to use a love island term me to the love island we might have to decide which camp we're in i think we might have to ask actually which camp we're in. she was speaking at the annual headmasters and headmistresses conference in manchester love island is a british reality show where contestants build relationships in a low conveyor it's mix of scantily clad well toned contestants on their sexual exploits of left the head teacher feeling that the message of the show is that you have to be beautiful to deserve being loved so we got a reaction from a quality low specialist. and lucy berrisford a broadcaster and psychotherapist who hosts a sex and relationships with mine. i think we have a greater problem to deal with which is our young men are young boys and they need
10:25 pm
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 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
10:26 pm
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 there needs to be a looter and a stand 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 learned around is now early. for that well actually both all sorts of genders and sexual orientations came out and talked about it as you know it has quite a following across the piece also domestic violence charity came out refuge came out talking about how are concerned it was at the behavior of one. of the men in the program and i think what's difficult about having
10:27 pm
a headmistress 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 you.
