3:02 pm

3:03 pm
seems to be an extreme polarization in the country between those who support donald trump and those who oppose him and it seems that this new vision is being asked late it was some taking it well beyond arguments and to physical confrontations. let's discuss this further with john griffin former texas republican official thanks to joining us on the program now are you surprised that these left wing protesters tend to such disruptive and violent matches like blocking the traffic and attacking cars. no in fact i've written about it for over a year at the daily caller in world net daily and i've talked about it extensively on your network this is a mob rule mentality and this is what has been encouraged by democrat leaders
3:04 pm
including former agency loretta lynch including chuck schumer including several senate democrat senators to engage in violence to engage in my thinking and it's certainly not a lame saudi arabia for the incident on ten miles to america's relations with riyadh this is outrageous that he's been somehow disappeared the administration needs to demand his release and subsequently an acceptable and a further sign that this crackdown on free speech is getting more serious we should probably be rethinking the political and military blank check we've been giving this hour live. on a director of the institute for gulf affairs tells the cons of the program now the us president says he will raise the issue with riyadh how likely do you think he is to get on says. i think that u.s. presidents have a lot of weight they can they can get answers if they want is seems to me very
3:05 pm
strange because the u.s. never kids so what human rights is in saudi arabia they would they would care about the saudis are doing it for example but there is much more than meets the eye here it is something that we should watch from the saudis and they're using to my social . pressure and i guess mohamed. what is it they want what do you think is. it's maybe it's maybe the eight billion dollars that mr trump spoke about maybe it is their increase of the oil production that the americans want so they can cut off their in you know oil from the market but i don't think the saudis have because bassett i mean about ten years ago i wrote about that that the saudis do not have the. ability to spare capacity that they can increase oil production they simply can't because there's not enough oil and they
3:06 pm
have exaggerated the oil reservoir by probably thirty percent so i think they are at the point that they cannot deliver what they have been telling me the americans and the world i mean the u.s. senate says that they're calling to me think america's quote political and military blank check from riyadh and you've mentioned the possibilities that the reasons contain those billions of pounds do you expect a long time to change any policies to want to. follow this incident i think anybody would change it would be done to be honest to be frank because. do it it was understand that obama and you know you might disagree with the trump but he might be the person who this could be his moment in the sun he could decide that this is something that everybody now in washington is speaking about so he could just go and chant this festival basically and deliver and bettas the
3:07 pm
democrats who have not done nothing during the obama administration and human rights to saudi arabia remember that under obama it was the worst conditions in the gulf not only you want them to human rights and they saudi arabia waged two invasions when august rain went against him and so might decide this is his moment to pressure the saudis and get. points for it with with. voters with the international. community so he might surprise us i i would not be shocked if he did yeah but and at the moment you know they've got a fairly good relationship and if anything u.s. president does what he says he's going to do which is raise the issue do you think that is likely to sour that relationship i think the saudis are not in a position right now to do that oh well good relationship would be with the with
3:08 pm
the americans but they have to look at their labor who don't find themselves isolated that because of what they have done they wanted to go to you know to war with iran they have problems with syria with yemen. and kuwait now so they might end up. given input from mr trump and i think trump uses what you know he caused maximum pressure and he may use this jamal such object let's be clear the united states really does not care has not cared about human rights saudi arabia i've been here long enough to know though that they have spent zero dollars on even promoting women driving for example to saudi arabia they have opposed placing these issues and reality they did speak about it here and there but not take any action so i think there will be some surprises i think trump will push and maybe a mom had been so mine were pushed but we go it alone i think there is that sense
3:09 pm
that he was still here it's not that one man would be in take in order to murdered by the saudi government because they have done worse things and. raised an eyebrow in washington ok thanks for your thoughts on the director of the institute of health effects. that the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. campaigning is stepping down has washington correspondents americano with i think health. well nikki haley thanked trump for the honor of a lifetime serving as ambassador trump accepted her resignation and said that he'd announce her successor in a matter of two to three weeks and he also hopes that she'll come back to serve the administration in a different capacity let's check out what they both had to say she told me probably six months ago she said you know maybe at the end of the year the end of a two year period at the end of the year i want to take a little time off i would like a little girl you know i'm not running for twenty twentieth's i can promise you what i'll be doing is campaigning for this one so i look forward to supporting the
3:10 pm
president in the next election so thank you nikki haley has been embassador to the u.n. since january of two thousand and seventeen and she leaves at a very inopportune time just as disagreements are brewing between trump and other world leaders and this was made obvious at this year's u.n. general assembly when world leaders laughed at trump during his speech and even then haley tried to defend him in less than two years my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country. america hears so true i. didn't expect that reaction but that's. when he said that they love how honest he is and it's not difficult magic and they find it funny i mean when he goes and he is very truthful they kind of are taken back by it now
3:11 pm
for something to think about on monday a government watchdog called for an investigation into whether or not nikki haley violated federal ethics regulations by accepting free private flights this was acknowledged by nikki haley in her twenty seventeen public financial disclosures as saying that she was friends with the c.e.o.'s of those private jet companies that's what everyone's talking about so it looks like she'll be serving as you want to. faster until the end of this year so we'll just have to see who replaces her in this highly coveted position. controversial website running cat named it has identified the second suspect in britain to the poisoning of a former russian spy and his daughter however the presented facts raise a number of questions correspondent on this to see if been following the news conference. not only has this whole story been creating diplomatic rows of course as we've seen unraveling throughout the last couple of months but certainly now
3:12 pm
among journalists here on the ground following this conference where these latest revelations that have had to present had unraveled where journalists were confronting each other about opinions and certainly quite a media frenzy about these latest announcements and in terms of what specifically dell inc out how to present with the said that they have identified through social media. who the man who has been described as the second suspect in this case he was initially presented as alexander patrol. his real name is alexander riskily see he is a medical doctor who was recruited by the g.r.u. before two thousand and three and was taken to moscow by the year twenty ten they say he was involved in visiting ukraine and in terms of identifying who they were there were quite a few loopholes and certainly lots of questions here from journalists follow ups to what they had to say one of the things that were curious is they said. their first
3:13 pm
so-called you recall moment as they describe it was when the name alexander came into the spotlight and then they tried to find a man who was born on the same day and the same of them but of course you know that is a very very very common name in russia so they had to connect those dots by trying to find after finding one person with the same details trying to find a pos board photo or some kind of i.d. they said that basically when they did. something according to bell and katz they couldn't really say exactly where they hit lock but we did get a copy of the document they said that this man had been honored with hero of russia by the president putin himself however when it was asked for some kind of proof of this they talked about some kind of granny who lived in the village where this character was supposedly living and one person they had found via social media had told told them that this granny had showed the entire village where she lived
3:14 pm
a photo of this man being granted that honor by the russian president and when asked whether or not they were actually at least able to directly contact her they said she had vanished when they announced their events so certainly quite a few of these questions despite all of the headlines that these allegations have been making the russian embassy here in the u.k. have said that they have essentially been told by the foreign office that this is all part of freedom of public debate and that the u.k. government does not comment and we've also heard from official moscow say that they are essentially at this point tired of any leaks and speculations being made on all sides of the media and what they would like is official channels to cooperate on this matter let's take a look. at it you christiane of some of the mention. of the but in terms. of months of course in the middle east the minimum you need to
3:15 pm
teach them english. i think huge influence include sort of those two parts components me me me more of them. jimbo you mean you lose your good christian. you know who is going on could sort of but who is to you while these are journalistic of revelations if we can call them that continue to be made it does seem to continue to be a major standstill in terms of figuring out kind of a common way to move forward with this story which continues at this point to be a lot of he said she said and certainly a lot of opposing opinions on how exactly and what had happened to scripture all and in terms of these specific individuals that have been in the headlines recently . cheerleading russian footballers are being investigated after two people were allegedly attacked in moscow within two hours of each other while a high ranking government official in the cafe and another man in the street both victims were taken to hospital. with sports correspondent alexia. when
3:16 pm
i looked at those videos i thought somebody was trying to reenact the grand theft auto computer game in the streets of moscow but then it happened to be not just to footballers to star footballers now one of them i saw that got caught in this leading strike and then in st petersburg he actually scored a winner in the europa league just a fortnight ago the others by my from class that are both used to play for the russian national team up until twenty sixteen they were in a strip club they went out of the strip club for some reason clashed with a man in the street who happened to be a personal driver of a t.v. host in russia now this man reportedly is in intensive care with a brain injury with a head injury and they did not stop there after that brawl and we can see the video of the man in the white hat is actually my according to eyewitness reports they went further they went to a cafe in moscow and collapsed with two visitors of that cafe the visitors were turned out to be public servants both relatively high ranking government officials
3:17 pm
one of them also reportedly ended up in hospital with injuries so you know indefensible actions and it's really really not looking good for these two footballers after this you know mayhem in central moscow and what's the reaction to incident been obviously a lot of details coming in on can from lot of them from various news channels saying there's now another incident on the train and you know all the speculation. this is really stirred some heavy controversy and russian indeed i mean the reactions have been overwhelming and they have been overwhelming criticism as well coming from the very top now let's listen to what the russian sports minister had to say about that. the victims have turned to the police there is video of the incident they cannot be any extenuating circumstances in this situation this is unacceptable unsportsmanlike behavior the cast a shadow on all russian football the words of echoed in the reactions coming from the russian premier league and the both respective clubs senate st petersburg and cross that the russian premier league expresses its concern strongly condemns the
3:18 pm
hooligan behavior we believed. those responsible should face the strongest possible punishment there is no place for who look and in football we consider any form of violence an acceptable and condemn we are certain that at the end of the investigation the incident will receive an appropriate legal assessment we're waiting for a legal assessment from the respective agencies but from a human and emotional point of view this incident only evokes. both clubs have been relatively quiet about the possible repercussions for both players but the talk of the town that both clubs are looking into terminating these players contracts they're just looking at the contracts whether this domination is possible but let's not forget if they are found guilty if they're charged and found guilty of these misdemeanors they could face up to two years in prison each and that is definitely more serious than terminating a contract you know of course footballers are renowned for being party boys making some mistakes this is pretty serious there was no and it's not the first time this
3:19 pm
pair have made headlines as it yeah definitely you talking about party boys they went on a big party surprisingly after russia crashed out of the euro two thousand and sixteen championship they were caught filmed in one of the monaco is nightclubs with a lavish party with champagne. i. should not be doing even if this not you know if it's outside of the of the pitch. according to was caught several times reckless driving in moscow in his bentley he was pictured in a softer set your wedding firing off pistols in the air so they operated the tories for their misdemeanors but of course all that pales in comparison to what they did this last weekend and it's absolutely no chance that they will scape any sort of punishment from that. player and a cocker in have yet to comment on the incident if i am guilty they could face up to two years in prison. roundup of the news for the i'll be back at the top of the hour with more but first here
3:20 pm
a lot international is the kaiser report. seemed wrong why don't we all just don't call. any new world yet to shape our disdain become educated and indeed from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the ways of the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants. costing us first a lot of sympathy what do we got most of them for and i want to ask some just about what if many of them look for refuge in the so-called sentry sides of the draft
3:21 pm
used to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities the best person to ask today and. most even more don't have it up on the government or western they want that. they can't what are their options to stay in the country with donald trump in the white house all over for the troubles. both of you had with the. affairs it struggles of many couples. to watch at the put simply the bills and fumbles both of you out those of a do it all of the. strugar this is the kaiser report how would you like to sound like you live in los angeles one. repeat after me before
3:22 pm
a flood was june but how to take the one zero one. i'm not sure if that technically works but one is always at least half hour late here because the traffic is way worse always than even your google maps tells you so nevertheless while a bend in the way of course i want to stay on a story that nobody else has covered except for some of the print media where you look at this because something happened at the un general assembly behind all the big headlines about the big crazy stuff that you know and trump speech and stuff like that there was one thing that happened and it comes from africa and it's a story about china and africa first i'm going to start with the surprising story from donna news and it reads china africa relations is not colonialism a coup fellow oddo tells u.n. president not go down quite a coup for otto mounted the podium at the united nations headquarters in new york
3:23 pm
and told the world to discard any notion that the movement of donna and some african countries towards china would result in the recall and ization of the continent by a new power quote this is not a uniquely gunday in or african phenomenon it is not the loss on us that the developed rich and well established countries have been paying regular visits to china and seeking to open new economic ties and improve upon existing ones he noted so a lot of people are telling.
