china prize for war is getting its military battle ready amid trade and territory disputes and worsening relations with washington. a poll shows that hoffa of people. to yemen is devastating despite being the second biggest supplier to the side. and rights groups in the french government to relaunch a probe into the nine hundred ninety four genocide as video is appearing to show france knew more about the school and it previously admitted. before you. could. go to.

it's eight o'clock watching all t international live from our moscow studio with me . welcome to the program. the president of china has instructed the country's military to be more ready for the raising the specter of a potential conflict over trade and beyond but what's the rhetoric and what is real . takes a closer look. so here's the thing the chinese government almost never says anything you wouldn't expect that's their thing their gimmick they're 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 revenues for war the chinese are preparing for war out loud how over 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's sovereignty and security interests in beijing sees china and taiwan as two parts of a whole two chinese entities same culture ethnicity same languages with two separate governments communist capitalist the end goal is to reunite into one state there are differences of course currently 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 floating his warships right between the two china's. 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 interim. we worry about. work. i don't worry about things. let's be grateful never worrying about anything unfortunately others are and there are those in china who believe that america wants taiwan to declare independence and the chinese are preparing for that eventuality militarily.

it's 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 after rule that's the point the devil when. the government needs to think whether it's necessary to bring conscription back if they think 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 tariffs on the chinese exports china does not want to have a trade war with the united states china does not want to have a conflict with the united states but if the united states really wants to impose these things all do china i think the chinese people will be fully mobilized behind the chinese government and the chinese military. and u.s. allies from around the globe around in washington as a trade dispute have the metal tariffs reaches the world trade organization countries like mexico canada and members are pushing the global body to review the level saying they're concerned by the impact of washington's behavior. this collective resort to dispute stance woman reflects the serious concern of the

membership of the united states actions norway's worried that the united states would offer a purported justification that is so evidently divorced from real world security concerns. donald trump raised import charges by ten percent on alum indian and twenty five percent on steel back in march washington says the move was for security reasons meaning it is effectively out of the juice stiction and even countries on good terms of america are imposing retaliatory tariffs pizza rosen strike a strategic first for to a strategist for a leading online swiss bank things that it's not about trade it's about trumps a reshaping of relationships which isn't proving popular. it's become a highly political highly charged environment you know there's additional political threats that you know if if the rulings don't go in the u.s. is way. that the u.s. would withdraw from the deputy oh it's important to realize that everybody

recognizes that the tariff move in the name of fair trade in the name of security is more from a change of america's strategic position then it is about trade this idea of reed examining the bilateral relationships and redetermine and of these sort of historical relationships and trump is basically blowing them apart and the world is creating a new order where the u.s. is not the central figure and i think you know these so small but powerful moves by the. and other international communities is a clear sign that it's moving shifting away from the u.s. as the primary axis of power. says yemen's devastating war has claimed fifty six thousand lives of the past two years some five times higher than previously thought this budget being considered the world's worst humanitarian crisis persist charities found that almost half of people in the

u.k. are unaware that there is a war there at all even though that country is the second biggest supplier of weapons to the country waging the bombing campaign. has more on those findings in a moment but first here's a look at just how much of a toll three years of war has taken on the yemeni people. i. i. hi do you know what's happening in yemen. but. i'm afraid i

suppose. no no sorry what's happening in yemen. it is a wall. saudi arabia. or some middle east politics higher no idea do you know what's happening in yemen sorry do you know what's happening in yemen. it's taken the lives of thousands of civilians and caused an unprecedented humanitarian crisis and yet according to a new poll almost half of the people in the u.k. have no idea that there is a war taking place in yemen a war in which a saudi led coalition is conducting a deadly campaign of airstrikes in an attempt to drive out the rebels you could do . most of. my conversion charts terrible why do you think that is not enough is being said about you it depends what the media seem to sourcing at

a particular point in time with your troops is public knowledge and opinion so you think it's under-reported the war in yemen isn't just another humanitarian crisis in a far flung part 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 arms to the saudi kingdom after the us according to the latest figures u.k. military sales to riyadh 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 the riyadh into the spotlight now when an increasing number of politicians here in the u.k. are calling 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. french human rights groups are calling for

a probe to be reopened into the nine hundred ninety four genocide in rwanda in east africa is to establish whether french troops had any playing for the deaths of hundreds of people they had promised to protect in the village. a video from news website part appears to show a senior french military officer discussing an ongoing last several days before the army decided to intervene. before you were really only two you could push going your way did you but you could usually only cleaver a good deal to me gimmicks homebody or dhimmitude bush or shield. the genocide in rwanda lost in just over three months and left nearly a million people dead while paris denies any culpability in the loss of rights groups led by a french engineer and now saying the case was closed promise chile. 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 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. we spoke with a survivor of the massacre and i asked her if the revelations were a shock. no we're not doing them no video doesn't surprise me i was very happy that media published the truth we the survivors have known this for a long time it's important that the 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 because while lawn promised to declassify the archives they didn't work out which everything he published was already known the only thing i have to add is that the french people have 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 french 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. ten people have died after devastating floods hit a number of regions in italy with three quarters of the city of venice submerged underwater winds of almost seventy eight miles per hour say in the authorities

implement a code red and that level in the region in some parts of venice the water was as high as one point five meters as people waded their way on the streets close tours to areas were closed with official saying this is the fifth biggest flood on the record in all the nestlé as a whole is due to the storms a hard time of apollo nida was badly hit after its reinforced walls collapsed dozens of yachts were left on sea front roads while others suffered a civil protection unit has been mobilized to help locals and to monitor high risk areas around the clock. on the way how a massacre and they sinister melbourne campaign has got americans increasingly worried of a politically motivated hate speach. so

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very. time to sit down and talk.

welcome back to the program in the u.s. the man accused of gunning down eleven jewish worshipers in a synagogue last weekend and a separate suspect accused of sending mail bobbins have appeared in court after donald trump announced his plan to visit the scene of the synagogue massacre backlash was sparked across u.s. media outlets the coverage focused on whether the crimes were politically motivated and the result of a spike in hate speech and whether the president has contribution to that and it wasn't only the media against his visit. personally i would like him to stay away if he could come and not make it about himself and not make it political so and

certainly why not 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 than so be it and i think that would be a good thing we need to start working together in the wake of those instant so shall media sites have come under increased scrutiny in both cases the suspects had expressed their hostility online the pittsburgh gunman robert correctly by now is writes a series of anti semitic a post on the social network and gab dot com in the wake of the massacre the website which is popular with the so-called old right and free speech advocates was taken down and the seas are all teary sile gleeman reported to have sent a series of bombs was active on twitter he's believed to have written a death threats to politicians including vice president former vice president joe biden on the platform we put the links between social media and hate speech up 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 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 be held responsible for who ever post anything on their on their websites and that was so that you know we could continue to thrive in tech expansion now of course hate speech speech is protected in america even though hate speech is horrible. abysmal 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 the book or the power of twitter and those are brick the boom things up it's the same problem we have with newspapers and with. broadcasting you know we have these giant conglomerates that control all our media and lead determine what gets in and what doesn't get in the 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 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 or 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 and really to grow up i mean

the american public does need to grow up and not only accept responsibility but not engage in these things and then we can put proper public pressure. i mean america's someone toxic political atmosphere hillary clinton is facing a backlash of to being that african-americans all look alike she was correcting an interview mixed up two democrat politicians. do you think of cory booker's and using comedy him in your kill file i don't know what do you think about him saying kick them in the shins essentially start to get to that kind of political i was eric holder eric holder you're sorry i know they all look alike no they don't. many find back and clinton on twitter being racist for the joke someone left a bit confused as to why there was no reaction to clinton's woods others suggested if it had been donald trump to train the same line the outrage would have been much more vocal. it comes as many high profile african-americans are calling on others

in the black community to ditch their support for the democratic party who have long been a pet of the democrats. and. the blacks it movement will spend twenty nine hundred. every major city in america that the democrats have to short.

just admit that the few blacks are doing better under the trump presidency. this logo. these colors were created by my dear friend and fellow superhero kanye west. but don't forget you can get all the details on any of our stories on our website that's all too dot com i'll be back at the top of the hour with more but first a long time for a documentary. when

lol make this manufacture consent instead of public wealth. when the room in clusters to protect themselves. when the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. to ignore middle of the room sick news. from the real news is really. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. more somehow want to.

a survivor was disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's happening it's happened. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution to correct the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you know lloyd i mean your list put video and put him in the new bill is that i mean you explain you know to the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. those who took. invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic.

you know world a big part of the new lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. leave my. career by. the old.
