3:02 pm
real or august if takes a closer look. so here's the thing the chinese government almost never says anything you wouldn't expect that's their thing they're giving 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 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
3:03 pm
weapons by the united states to taiwan damages china sovereignty and security interests that beijing's 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
3:04 pm
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 greats 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. 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 conscription to a volunteer army is having huge trouble recruiting even reserve troops dodging the
3:05 pm
juicy after all that's the point the devil when. the government needs to think whether it's necessary to bring conscription back to the theme 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
3:06 pm
a trade war with the united states china does not want to have armed conflict with the united states but if the united states really wants to impose these things aren't to china i think the chinese people will be fully mobilized behind the chinese government and the chinese military. u.s. allies from around the globe are rounding on washington as a trade dispute over metal terrace reaches the world trade organization countries like mexico canada and members are pushing the global body to review their level saying they're concerned by the impact of washington's behavior. this collective resort's a dispute settlement 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. raised import charges by ten percent allow them in yemen twenty five
3:07 pm
percent on still back in march washington says the move was for security reasons meaning it is effectively out of the w.t. is juist stiction and even countries on good terms with america are imposing retaliatory tariffs peter rosen striker strategist for a leading online swiss bank thinks that it's not about trade it's about trump's 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 moved 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 a read examining a bilateral relationships and redetermine and of these sort of historical relationships and trump is basically blowing them apart and the world is creating
3:08 pm

this logo. these colors were created by my dear friend and fellow superhero kanye west. french human rights groups are calling for a probe to be reopened into the one nine hundred ninety four genocide in rwanda in east africa is to establish whether french troops had any blame for the deaths of hundreds of people they had promised to protect in the village of. a video from news website media part appears to show a senior french military officer discussing an ongoing massacre several days before the army decided to intervene. before you were the only two you could push your way
3:17 pm
to you but you could usually only believe you could even control with the. body or to make you believe. the genocide in rwanda lasted just over three months and left nearly a million people dead while paris denies any culpability in the massacre rights groups led by a french ngo saying the case was closed her maturity. 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
3:18 pm
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.
3:19 pm
we spoke with a survivor of the massacre and i asked her if the revelations were a shock. nor i. know the video doesn't surprise me i was very happy that media part published the truth we deserve viber as have known this for a long time but it's important that the french people know what happened back in one thousand nine hundred ninety four when the military was there i only know that promise to declassify the archives they didn't work out it 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 four year war this argument between france and rwanda has been going on since one thousand nine hundred four did the french have a mandate different have
3:20 pm
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. he can. now demand. eleven people have died after devastating floods hit a number of regions in italy with three quarters of the city of venice submerged under water winds of almost seventy mph have seen authorities implement a code red and level in the region in some parts of venice the water was as high as one point five meters as people waited their way around the iconic streets torsos and close with officials saying this is the fifth biggest flood on record. northern italy as a whole is on alert due to the storms the harbor town of rafah. was badly hit after
3:21 pm
its reinforced collapsed dozens of what's were left battered and on seafront roads while others sunk a civil protection unit has been mobilized to help locals and to monitor high risk areas around the clock. 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 bombs have appeared in court after donald trump announces plans a 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 is contra be to that and it wasn't only the media against his visit. personally i would like him to stay away if he could not make it about himself and not make a political so and certainly why not he is fueling those people who are
3:22 pm
extremists and i am 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. in the wake of those incidents social media sites have come under increased scrutiny in both cases the suspects had expressed their hostility online the alleged pittsburgh gunman robert gregory powers wrote a series of anti semitic posts on the social network gabb dot com in the wake of the massacre the website which is popular with the so called all right and free speech advocates was taken down. and cesar l to resign reported to have sent a series of mail bombs was active on twitter he's believed to have written death threats to politicians including 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
3:23 pm
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 put 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 in 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 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 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
3:24 pm
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 the all these organizations should be broken up that 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 this these powerful business to regulate it and so we're just putting the power into one other person's 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 and really to grow up i mean the. in public does need to grow up and said not only accept responsibility but not
3:25 pm
engage in these things and then we can put proper public pressure. on them for now but don't forget you can get all the details on any of our stories on our website that's all to dot com i'll be back at the top of the hour with more but first here on out international it's watching the. manufacture consent to the public well. when the ruling class isn't protect themselves. with the crime. be the one percent. we can all middle of the room
3:26 pm

3:27 pm
well reduce and lower. that's undercutting but what's good for markets is not good for the global economy. seemed wrong. but. just don't hold. any belief yet to shape out this day to come out ahead and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be ultra rich eight point
