the clock across the world this is your r.t. international from the team myself you know neil welcome to the program. the president of china has instructed the country's military to be war ready further raising the specter of a potential conflict over trade and beyond but what's rhetoric and what is real rock gusti of took a closer look so here's the thing the chinese government almost never says anything you wouldn't expect that's their thing their give me their incredibly careful reserved at least with their tongues so when the chinese president orders his military to prepare for war serious indeed. the military to concentrate on the bouncy read in these four war the chinese are preparing for war outloud how

oh how did we get to this well trump for one aside from land blasting the chinese at every opportunity is tariffs is sanctions his trade war he's also being very heavy handed congress has just approved a second arms deal with taiwan in eighteen months. of untruthful the sales of weapons by the united states to taiwan damages china sovereignty and security interests. beijing sees china and taiwan as two parts of a whole two chinese entities same culture at this it's the same languages with two separate governments communist capitalist the end goal is to reunite into one state there are differences of course currency preventing that and about one hundred kilometers of c. that separate the two and trump always a fan of sticking it to the chinese he's been saluting his warships right between
4:04 am
the two china's eyes in one thousand we have expressed our concerns to the u.s. side the taiwan issue concerns china's sovereignty and territorial integrity and is the most important and sensitive issue in china u.s. relations. for starters how about you express your concerns about these important and sensitive issues to someone who cares a little more because that in trump we worry about. i don't worry about things. let's be great never worrying about anything unfortunately others are there are those in china who believe that america wants taiwan to declare independence and the chinese are preparing for that eventuality militarily.
4:05 am
as your own you know we are resolute to defeat any scheme or act of taiwan independence in any form. thing is the taiwanese don't really see a point to defending themselves taiwan which recently switched from a conscription to a volunteer army is having huge trouble recruiting even reserve troops dodging the juicy after all that's the point the devil when. the government needs to think whether it's necessary to bring conscription back national security matters but taiwan is a minor player in these confrontation if war does break out it likely be the people's republic of china slugging it out with the united states rather than taiwan and that is a war that trump really really ought to be worried about the world is really

across rolled facing major threats to world peace and development between china and the united states the tensions are getting more and more acute and the united states has been pushing china round him really china and imposing unilateral tyrus on the chinese exports china does not want to have a trade war with the united states china does not want to have the conflict with the united states but if the united states really wants to impose these things onto china i think the chinese people will be fully mobilized behind the chinese government and the chinese military. the devastating conflict in yemen has long been regarded as the world's worst humanitarian crisis but it's a war that's bypassed nearly half of people in britain according to a new poll what makes that more alarming is that the u.k. is the second biggest supplier of weapons to the country waging the bombing

4:08 am
know now sorry what's happening in yemen. there's a war soldier rabiya. for some middle east politics i have no idea really do you know what's happening in yemen sorry do you know what's happening in yemen. is taking the lives of thousands of civilians and caused an unprecedented humanitarian crisis and yet according to a new poll almost a conference the people in the u.k. have no i did that there is a war taking place in yemen a war in which a saudi led coalition is conducting a deadly campaign event strikes in an attempt to drive out who the rebels hope you carry don't know about most things happening in russia i can imagine such terrible why do you think that is no enough has been said about it depends on what the media
4:09 am
seem to starting at a particular point in time with you through into public knowledge and opinion so you think it's underreported the war in yemen isn't just another humanitarian crisis in a far flung parts of the world the saudi led campaign is being waged partly thanks to a hefty supply of british made weapons the u.k. government happens to be the second biggest supplier of alms to the saudi kingdom after the us according to the latest figures u.k. military sales to. increased by two thirds in twenty seventeen from the previous year the mother of jamal khashoggi has brought the u. case closed strategic partnership with riyadh into the spotlight now an increasing number of politicians here in the u.k. are going on the government to explain its unceasing support for the saudi led war in yemen perhaps if more of the public knew about it the government would be under

more pressure to act. french human rights groups are calling for a probe to be reopened into the nineteen ninety four genocide in rwanda in east africa it's to a stop this whether french troops had any blame for the deaths of hundreds of people they had promised to protect in the village of business or a video from news website media part appears to show a senior french military officer discussing an ongoing muster there are several days before the army decided to intervene. before you were the only two you could push you to do you but you took those on the only people you know who didn't contribute to what makes homebody a dismissal. of. the genocide in rwanda lasted just over three months son left nearly a million people did while paris denies any culpability in the business served must occur rights groups led by the french n.g.o.s survey are now saying the case was
4:11 am
closed prematurely. lines of inquiry were not sufficiently followed up to allow investigators to determine france's military and political responsibility french military authorities were aware that from the afternoon of twenty seventh of june on words civilians were being killed the survivors open the case thirteen years ago although back in july it was scrapped due to lack of evidence and lack of convictions but survivors of the massacre claim they asked the french military for help on june twenty seventh one thousand nine hundred ninety four but the military only came three days later already after hundreds of people were killed in the massacre and the allegation now is that the french government actually knew what was going on and specifically decided not to intervene the genocide was committed mainly by the hutu government and its backers against the ethnic minority tutsi tribe and allegations of the french government supports for the hutus who carried
4:12 am
out most of the slaughter in the genocide have been rough on the french government's relations with the rwandan government for years but the french although they admit that they have made mistakes they say they have no complicity in the genocide that took place there. well we spoke with a survivor of the mosque or hussein's they french people must be told what occurred . no we have no it doesn't surprise me i was very happy. to truth we the survivors have known this very long time it's important that the
4:13 am
french people knew what happened back in one thousand nine hundred ninety four when the military was there you know because i only know that promise to declassify the archives they didn't work out it's everything he published was already known the only things i have to add is that the french people has to know the truth the context of the one genocide was a poor year war this argument between france and rwanda has been going on since one thousand nine hundred four do the french have a mandate to differentiate have a mandate to intervene if french officers observe this and they had a mandate to intervene when they did something wrong. soldiers typically. do not do not. take action now demanded. with midterm elections foster approaching in the us a poll suggests that a majority of voters a few the two party system was dated. many are now seeking
4:14 am
a third substantial option to throw their support behind a scale up open. in the united states we have a first past the post electoral system where essentially voting for a third party is throwing your vote into the garbage or at least that's the montra coming from the media really people who say oh yeah you know i don't know about hillary and so i voted for jill stein i think you wasted a vote in north carolina for jill's my guess the hardest thing for an independent is to convince the voters that you're for real and that it's a viable choice and they're not wasting their vote the only thing that was kind of holding them back when you talk to them is they would say oh i don't want to waste my vote like the one of their vote to count i grabbed vote republican because i want i'm not going to waste my go as an independent in ohio earlier this year. there was a special election in which a democrat was narrowly defeated by a republican twitter lit up with outrage not at the democrats for perhaps running
4:15 am
a less than effective campaign but rather at the green party for daring to participate in the political process and win a few votes. to the green party can you please wait to make you a symbolic votes and a time when our government isn't being overrun by white supremacists. you know what sucks i mean did he think the green party tonight on russian mentally. green party voters don't tell me you cure environment if you know your vote to make the difference between a damn winning over rap and used to choose to vote for a candidate who has no chance of winning now the us state of maine tried to correct this with a new voting system essentially voters get to rank the candidates from best to worst and if no solid majority can be established by their first pick then the second votes are calculated in order to pick a winner the idea is that one can still vote against one of the major parties and have their voice heard in the final results but in the main the state legislature
4:16 am
overturned this new voting system and it was a big legal battle to get it going now there's other states eyeing something similar but there's a lot of pushback what i hear is that people do want to have it depended and other parties come to the freighters so they're so tired and sick of the political dysfunction because the democrats are the publicans and i think americans are really looking for a choice i think the united states skews it like that so there are only two parties and they don't want to let anybody else come into existence because. i think they both secretly know that other parties are not sort of corporatist parties but actually there are parties out there and independents out there that actually do want to advocate for the people but of course they don't want us to get in there because then we would win and they would most americans view the two party political system as outdated. but the mainstream media continues to play the you're either with us or against us card so the voices of the majority of americans remain silenced in the political process caleb mop and r.t.
4:17 am
new york on the way home must occur on a sinister mailbomb come pain has got americans increasingly worried over a politically motivated hate speech. seems wrong. why don't we all just don't call. me. yet to see. these day after. and in detroit equals betrayal. when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be
4:18 am
an arms race. theory dramatic. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. minutes into the program welcome in the us the money queues the gunning down a leaven jewish where supporters in the synagogue on a separate suspect accused of sending mail bombs have appeared in court after president trump his plan to visit the scene of the synagogue massacre sparked across u.s. media outlets the coverage focused on whether the crimes were politically motivated
4:19 am
the result of a spike in hate speech and it wasn't only the media that was against the president's visit personally i would like him to stay away if he could and not make it about himself and not make it political so and certainly he is fueling those people who are extremists and i'm very very sad for this country if this could be the start of getting along so be it and i think that would be a good thing we need to start working together well in the wake of all of those incidents social media sites have come on during creased scrutiny in both cases the suspects have expressed their hostility online they allege pittsburgh gunman robert gregory bowers wrote a series of anti semitic posts on the social network galba dot com he described jewish people as an infestation and claim the holocaust never happened in the. wake of the mosque or the site which is popular with the so-called right and free speech
4:20 am
of a kits was taken down. the money reported to have sent a series of mail bombs was active on twitter he's believed to have sent death threats to politicians including former vice president joe biden via the platform we put the subject of social media links to hate speech for debate. we don't want people telling us what we can and can't post and you don't also want to have the government telling companies what they can and can't air but you know having said that. the companies themselves have a moral obligation i think an ethical obligation you know like like facebook or twitter to prevent. incitement on their sites but that's for them to do and it ought to be something that the public pressures them to do not the government requires them to do but it should be naturally what you would do with social media platforms that these social media whether it's facebook twitter you tube they can't
4:21 am
be held responsible for whoever posts anything on their on their websites and that was so that you know we can continue to thrive in tech expansion now of course hate speech speech is protected in america even though hate speech is horrible and abysmal and that is a protected right of speech we can't arrest somebody for for an opinion that they might have no matter how egregious or ugly that opinion seems there are solutions to the problem of the power of google or the power of facebook or the power of twitter and those are to break the damn things up it's the same problem we have with newspapers and with in broadcasting you know we have these giant conglomerates that control all our media and they determine what gets in and what doesn't get in those all these organizations should be broken up shouldn't be allowed to have the monopolies that they have we don't want the government coming down and telling us what we can and can't do especially when it comes to social media but i think if we put the power within social media company executives then we're just saying we
4:22 am
don't want government to regulate it but we want these powerful business to regulate it and so we're just putting the power into one of the persons hand we're looking at three of four major social media platforms and much of the speech comes down and so we have to we have to consider the fact that it would be a lot more beneficial to have twenty thirty forty social media platforms i think the main thing is to accept personal responsibility really to grow up i mean the. in public does need to grow up and only accept responsibility but not engage in these things and then we can put proper public pressure well made america's talks a political atmosphere hillary clinton's facing a buck plush after job in that african americans look alike she was correcting an interviewer who mixed up two democrat politicians you think of cory booker's and you can comment to him in your kill file i don't know anything about him saying kick them in the shins essentially start to get to that kind of political i was there a colder air cargo aircraft holding up sorry i know they all look alike no they don't. allow that. many fire bunk out clinton on

twitter for dumping her racist while at the same time ticking a closer look at the reaction some say the see if it had been donald trump uttering the same joke the outrage would have been much more vocal. many high profile african-americans are calling in the black community to ditch their support for the democratic party they have long been. thought. the black said movement will spend twenty nineteen holding rallies in every major

am a general movement is to get more people open minded to think differently you don't have to necessarily vote maybe you have been doing but be open minded. maybe you come to the realization that we were you to be so that is it may be trying to encourage people to think differently. rather to be attached to the democratic outing ology no matter which. living on the wiki leaks founder julian assange sees ecuador is looking to end his political asylum and handed mover to the united states the claim emerged while he challenge new rules being imposed on him while he's living at the country's embassy in london well the embassy did a sons a list of highest rules earlier this month being restrictions on personal visits. communications which at my cost diplomatic harm to ecuador he of course has no

e-mail the wiki leaks publisher sought refuge inside the embassy six years ago but relations with keats or soured on the current governmental leading to a standoff with his lawyers it's clear this protocol was issued with strict respect for international law the ecuadorian state has an international responsibility to protect mr songe human rights activist peter tatchell told us he believes ecuador is trying to work. with a view to getting him out of the embassy. let's be clear the conditions imposed on during a songe by the ecuadorian authorities are extremely draconian they are in some respects similar to the kinds of restrictions that a prisoner would face in a maximum security jail now of course in some respects some aspects of these conditions are reasonable but the way they're being imposed very clearly with the intention of making life bearable for mistress on does appear to be part of
