devastating. chilly start to that but i was there a colder air. i know they all look alike. also ahead hillary clinton is in baltimore making a wisecrack widely considered to be racist we asked people in the street what they thought of. pretty insensitive i mean it is pretty offensive some people. say. when you're watching all to international live from a studio with meaning to welcome to the program. the president of china has instructed the country's military to be ready further raising the specter of a potential conflict of a trade. and beyond but what is the rhetoric and what is real more and takes
4:02 pm
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
4:03 pm
weapons by the united states to taiwan damages china's 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 through seeing his warships right between the two chinas i see. we have expressed our concerns to the us signed the taiwan issue concerns china 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
4:04 pm
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. 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
4:05 pm
juicy after all that's the point the devil when. the government needs to think whether it's necessary to bring conscription back 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
4:06 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 armed 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 running around washington as a trade dispute of a metal terrorist reaches the world trade organization countries like mexico canada and e.u. members approaching the global body to review the level same neck and send 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 is worried that the united states would offer a purported justification that is so evidently divorced from real world security concerns. raised imports by ten percent on a minimum twenty five percent on stale back in march washington says the move was
4:07 pm
for security meaning it is effectively out of the jurisdiction and even countries on good terms with america are imposing. peter. just for. things that it's not about trade it's about trams reshaping of relationships which isn't popular it's become a highly political highly charged environment you know there's additional political threats that you know if if the rules don't go in the u.s. is way. that the u.s. would withdraw from the w t o 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 a bilateral relationships and redetermined of these sort of historical relationships and trump is basically blowing them apart and the world is creating
4:08 pm
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 as a primary axis of power. new research as the devastating war in yemen has claimed fifty six thousand lines of the past two years five times higher than previously thought and some british m.p.'s are losing patience over. the coalition responsible the had the civilian casualties there a parliamentary committee on tuesday grilled britain's top middle east diplomat over relations with riyadh. do you have a problem with condemning. an international violation of into international law in conflict the stakes and maybe the only thing that we don't do is actually
4:09 pm
press the button to drop the ball tom supplies are there for those who need to defend themselves the amount of raids targeting civilians is going up you know if these are aware of this they seem to be a lot of to and i do not agree that if united kingdom was simply to. deny support for a policy which is under threat to itself engaged in support of illegitimate government it would say that. oh. boy is it. yemen is now considered to be facing the world's worst humanitarian crisis yet a british charity has found that almost half of people in the u.k. a no way there's a war there at all even though the country is the second biggest supplier of weapons to the side military probably boca 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.
4:10 pm
4:11 pm
the lives of thousands of civilians and caused an unprecedented humanitarian crisis and yet according to a new poll almost a home of 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 but if i could imagine such terrible why do you think that is no. it's been sort of o.t. it depends what the media seem to sourcing at a particular point in time we get through to the 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.
4:12 pm
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 riyadh into the spotlight now when an increasing number of politicians here in the u.k. a call 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. i mean america's somewhat toxic political atmosphere hillary clinton is facing a backlash after being african americans all look alike she was correcting an interviewer who mixed up two democratic politicians using a cory booker's and using comment to him in your kill file i don't know what do you
4:13 pm
think about him saying kick them in the shins essentially start to get to that kind of political i was eric holder eric holder i'm sorry i know they all look alike no they don't i. many fired back and clinton on twitter braces for the joke some were left a bit confused as to why there was no reaction to clinton's words others suggested if it had been donald trump uttering the same line the outrage would have been much more vocal artie's more pain has been gauging reaction in new york. so recently there was a political figure in the united states and they were talking about these two leaders eric holder and cory booker and they made the joke they all look the same can you guess who it was who made the joke yes. donald trump. was trying donald trump trump. president trump. i'll give you choices right was it a president trump and b. hillary clinton c. george w. bush or d.
4:14 pm
david duke. they. should trump actually it was hillary clinton was it barack obama david duke hillary clinton or or george bush i want to go to david duke actually hillary clinton is a yes interesting probably say david duke it was actually turns out it was hillary clinton. but it said they they all look the same i was surprised i don't think that anything but anything like it was it was hillary clinton that surprise you. yeah it was eight donald trump be hillary clinton see george w. bush or d. david duke hillary clinton made the joke yes you are correct donald trump brock obama hillary clinton or david duke oh say who are who you're correct yeah understand why people might be offended when someone says they all look the same in reference to these two guys no no no they came up in an interview and she said they all look the same is kind of meant to be a joke but people say it's pretty offensive. i mean that is pretty offensive yeah i
4:15 pm
see why people might think it's offensive to say they all look the same in reference to these two guys and yes she probably meant it as a joke she wasn't actually air one doesn't so it can't be that yeah what has a mustache one doesn't can't be that. but that's not appropriate joke is it no i understand why people might be offended by saying they all look the same about these two guys. yeah i do people same things about me before so i mean. some people think all the chinese will say can you understand why people might be offended i mean what do you make of hillary clinton saying that. it's it's it's pretty insensitive. especially when they don't look like it or she probably meant it as a joke but do you think that's an appropriate joke. no not at all many high profile african-americans are calling on others in the black community to ditch their support for the democratic party have long been a pillar of the democrats' base. the

4:18 pm
before the army decided to intervene. before you were the only two you could you would you but you could usually only believe you deal with. body or do much evolution of all of. 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 engineer and now saying the case was 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
4:19 pm
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.
4:20 pm
we spoke with a survivor of the massacre and i asked her if the revelations that were a shock. nor i. know the video doesn't surprise me i was very happy that media part published the truth we survivors 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
4:21 pm
thousand nine hundred four did 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. he can actually now did land. eleven 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 mph have seen the authorities implement a code red alert level in the region in some parts of venice the water was as high as one point five meters as people waited their way. conic streets less tallest areas were closed 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. was badly hit after its
4:22 pm
reinforced collapsed dozens of yours were left battered on sea front rows while others sunk a civil protection unit has been mobilized to help locals and to monitor high risk areas around the clock. now 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 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
4:23 pm
certainly why not he is fueling those people who are extremists and i'm very very sad that 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 incidents social media sites have come under increased scrutiny in both cases the suspects had expressed their hostility online the alleged pittsburgh gunman battle is right a series of anti semitic posts on the social network gap dot com in the wake of the massacre the website which is popular with the so-called right and free speech advocates was taken down and sees a very silent the man reported to have sent a series of mail bombs was active on twitter he's believed to written death threats to politicians including former vice president joe biden on the platform we put the links between social media and hate speech out for debate we don't want people
4:24 pm
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 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 could 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
4:25 pm
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 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 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 other person's 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
4:26 pm
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 around from now of the news but in fact we get all the details on any of those stories on our website that's on to dot com i'll be back at the top of the hour with more first here on out international it's the kinds of reports. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy the uncertainty shouldn't let it be an arms race is also an experience dramatic development the only. exists i don't see that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down. talk. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution of you tube clip the demonstrations

going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it just always i mean your list book video. scrolling needle the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty four g. and. those who took. it invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. manufacture come sentenced to public wealth. when the ruling classes and protect themselves. in the final merry go round be the one percent. we can all middle of the room
