5:02 pm
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 game make 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 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 that 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 through to 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
5:04 pm
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 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 a conscription to a volunteer army is having huge trouble recruiting even reserve troops dodging the
5:05 pm
juicy after all that's the point the devil when. the government needs to think whether it's necessary to bring conscription back 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 tensions are getting more and more acute and the united states has been pushing china around him really china and imposing unilateral tariffs on the chinese exports china does not want to have
5:06 pm
a trade war with the united states and china does not want to have the conflict with the united states but if the united states really wants to impose these things on to china i think the chinese people will be fully mobilized behind the chinese government and the chinese military. u.s. allies are running on washington as a trade dispute over metal terrorists because the world trade organization mexico canada and even members are pushing the global body to review the levels saying they're concerned by the impact of washington's behavior. this collective results of disputes sense 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. slapped and imports charge of ten percent and twenty five percent on steel back in march america's biggest trade partner has retaliated with taxes on
5:07 pm
a long list of u.s. goods banking strategies resin strike things trump is not motivated by economic gain. 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 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 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. saudi intervention in yemeni yemen has climbed to fifty six thousand lines in the past two years according to a new study that's five times higher than previous estimates and some british m.p.'s are losing patience over the u.k. israel. coalition responsible for heavy civilian casualties there a parliamentary committee on tuesday grilled britain's top middle east diplomat. relations with riyadh do you have a problem with condemning murder and international violations of into international law in conflict mistakes and maybe the only thing that we don't do is actually press the button to drop the bomb supplies are there for those who need to defend themselves the amount of raids targeting civilians has gone up not down if these
5:09 pm
are aware of this they seem to be able to forgive to i do not agree that if united kingdom was simply to. deny support for a party which is under threat to itself engaged in support of illegitimate government it would say that. oh. well it was good but it. yemen is now considered to be facing the world's worst humanitarian crisis it's a british charity has found that almost halls of people in the u.k. are run away as a war at all even though their country is the second biggest supplier of weapons to the side the military 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.
5:10 pm
hi do you know what's happening in yemen. to my. mom afraid i suppose. i don't know sorry what's happening in yemen. there's a war saudi arabia. has some major the sport it takes i have no idea 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
5:11 pm
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 stuff when you push it i can imagine charts terrible why do you think that is. no enough is being said about you it depends what the media seem to sourcing at a particular point in time which you would see 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
5:12 pm
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. 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. hillary clinton is facing a backlash after being that african-americans all look alike she was correcting an interviewer who mixed up two democrat politicians think of cory booker's and using comment to 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 sorry i know they all look alike no they don't i. many fired back clinton on twitter dumping

a racist for the joke of the suggested if it had been donald trump but in the same line the outrage would have been greater artie's kalam open 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. david duke. they. should trump actually it was hillary clinton i want to go a david duke actually hillary clinton is a yes interesting approaches a david duke was actually turns out it was hillary clinton. but it said that they
5:14 pm

5:15 pm

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 of rope and video from news website media part appears to a show of seeing a french military officer discussing. an ongoing massacre that several days before the army decided to intervene. before you were the only two could push you to do you but you took those only you don't equal you know you didn't think you will be the one who makes somebody they didn't exclude from the show all three of. the genocide in rwanda lost in just over three months and left nearly a million people dead while paris denies any culpability in the massacre writes great allowed to by a french allow saying the case was closed how much already. lines of inquiry were not sufficiently followed up to allow investigators to determine france's military and political responsibility french military authorities were
5:18 pm
aware that from the afternoon off twenty seventh of june on words civilians were being killed the survivors opened 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 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've made mistakes
5:19 pm
they say they have no complicity in the genocide that took place there. we spoke with a survivor of the massacre last or if the revelations were a shock. nor out of the. video doesn't surprise me i was very happy that media part published the truth we deserve vipers 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 so i only know that because fallen promised to declassify the archives they didn't work out it
5:20 pm
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 their one genocide was a four year war this argument between france and rwanda has been going on since one thousand nine hundred four just the french have a mandate to french have a mandate to intervene if the french are to sears 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 under water 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

5:22 pm
trump protesters gathered to denounce the visit with banners saying trump go home president from has drawn widespread criticism for his response to the atrocity in pittsburgh especially his remarks blaming the media the city man and jewish community leaders had urged trump not to visit pittsburgh. i would like him to stay away if he could come and not make it about himself and not make it political 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 on monday court trials began in the u.s. for the suspect in the pittsburgh massacre and a separate suspect in miami accused of sending mail bombs in the wake of these incidents social media sites have come under increase scrutiny in both cases the
5:23 pm
suspects had expressed their hostility online the alleged pittsburgh gunman roberts gregory barlow is 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 old right and free speech advocates was taken down and sees every sale to the man 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 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
5:24 pm
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 or 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. 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 it is a protected right of speech we can't arrest somebody for for an opinion that they might have no matter how egregious or 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 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
5:25 pm
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 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 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. on news round up to get all the details of any of our stories on the website to dot com on the back of the top of the hour with more than first here are not international it's
