led. the chinese president tells his armed forces to be ready for war amid growing tensions in the south china sea and increasingly hostile rhetoric with the u.s. . the u.k. middle east minister is grilled over arms sales to saudi arabia as

a poll reveals half of all britons are unaware of the devastating conflict in yemen also ahead. what do you think about him saying to them in the shins essentially start to get to that kind of a little i was eric holder eric holder i know they all look alike now they tell. a wise crack from hillary clinton draws accusations of racism we asked people in the street what they thought of her remark. it's it's it's pretty insensitive i mean that is pretty offensive that some people think all the chinese thinks the same. broadcasting live to write for our studios moscow this is our team international and sean thomas is really glad to have you with us. or the president of china has instructed his military to be war ready but is there any real threat of an escalation artist but i've got a few comments. so here's the thing the chinese government almost never

says anything you wouldn't expect that's their thing their game ik 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. kind of untruthful the sales of weapons by the united states to taiwan damages china's 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 saluting 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 in trump we worry about. i don't

worry about things guna. 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 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. 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 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 rounding on washington as a trade dispute over metal tariffs reaches the world trade organization mexico canada and european countries are alarmed by washington's behavior and the potential damage it could cause this collective resort's a 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 slapped an import charge of ten percent on aluminum and twenty five percent on steel back in march america's biggest trade partners retaliated with taxes on a long list of u.s. goods banking strategist peter ross and strike thinks trump is not motivated by

economic gain. 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 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. the saudi intervention in yemen has claimed fifty six thousand lives in the past two years this according to a new study that is five times higher than previous estimates and the british government is under scrutiny for its leading role in arming the saudis ukase a top middle east diplomat was grilled by a problem entry committee. do you have a problem with condemning murder and international violations of into international law incomplete mistakes and they ain't the only thing that we don't do is she press the button to drop the phone i'm surprised that all those who need to defend themselves the amount of raids targeting civilians is going up north if these are aware as they seem to be a lot of i do not agree that if united kingdom was simply to. deny its

support for atrocities which is under threat and so gauged in support of illegitimate government it would say that. the issue is that your despite the humanitarian crisis in yemen a british charity has found that almost half of people in the u.k. know nothing about the ongoing conflict in britain's arms sales to riyadh or despoiled but go has more on those findings in a moment but first here is a look at how much a toll three years of war has taken on the yemeni people. hi

do you know what's happening in yemen. so much. i'm afraid i suppose. oh no sorry what's happening in yemen. there's a war saudi arabia. or 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. it's taken 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 of ad 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 can imagine china's terrible why do you think that is no enough has been said about it it depends what the media seem to sizing at a particular point in time we came through and says public knowledge and opinion so you think it's under-reported good 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 u.s. 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 close strategic partnership with the riyadh into the spotlight now when the 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 meanwhile the u.s. administration is for the first time calling on saudi arabia to halt its bombing campaign in yemen speaking on tuesday both pentagon chief james mattis and secretary of state my pompei or urged all sides of the conflict to start negotiations with the next thirty days on reaching a cease fire. clinton is facing a backlash after jibing that 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 adore anything about him saying kick them in the shins essentially start to get to that kind of political i was eric holder eric holder i know they all look alike no they don't i . and many fired back and clinton on twitter calling her racist other

suggested if it had been donald trump uttering the same line the outrage would have been greater or to scale up and 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. to trump actually it was hillary clinton i want to go to 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

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 hillary clinton made the joke yes you are correct 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 as kind of meant to be a joke but people say it's pretty offensive. i mean that is pretty offensive yeah i 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 dicks people say the same things about me before so what you mean. some people think all the chinese and it's the same can you understand why people might be offended. i mean what do you make of hillary clinton saying that.

it's. pretty insensitive. especially when they don't look like at all she probably meant it as a joke but do you think that's an appropriate joke no no not at all. people have died after devastating floods hit a number of regions in italy with three quarters of the city of venice submerged high winds have triggered a red alert level in the surrounding region as you can see shoppers were waving me deep through flooded streets most tourist areas were closed with officials saying this is the fifth biggest flood on record. elsewhere in northern italy the harbor town the republic was badly hit after its reinforced walls collapsed dozens of yachts were left battered on the seafront roads while other sank a civil protection unit has been mobilized to help locals there. arabs boycotted a local election in the golan heights

a disputed territory between syria and israel dozens of locals denounced the vote as illegal and pro israel. crowds blocked the gates of polling stations in several villages to prevent people from casting their ballots israeli soldiers used tear gas to break up the demonstrators many people living in the israeli occupied area have refused to take up israeli citizenship and consider themselves syrian the first local election since israel took control of the golan heights in the one nine hundred sixty seven years really the government approved the poll last year after an appeal from pro israeli villagers. french human rights groups are calling for a probe to be reopened into the nine hundred genocide in rwanda they want to establish whether french troops had any blame for the deaths of hundreds of people they had promised to protect in the village of business arrow and video from news website media part appears to show a senior french military officer discussing an ongoing massacre there 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 only you don't equal you know you don't flirt with the one who makes somebody a difficult and pushes all three of them. are at the genocide in rwanda lasted for three months and left nearly a million people dead while paris denies any culpability in the massacre rights groups led by french n.g.o.s are 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 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 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 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 so i only know that because fallen promised to declassify the archives they didn't work out it's 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 just the french have a mandate did to french have a mandate to intervene if the french are to sears observe this and they had a mandate to intervene then they did something wrong. soldiers typically. do not do not take action without a mandate. the us president and his wife have paid a visit to a synagogue in pittsburgh where a massacre took place last saturday but not everyone welcome to donald and melania trump. protesters gathered with banners saying trump go home and words matter they also denounced his immigration policies. now president trump has drawn widespread criticism for his response to the atrocity in pittsburgh especially in his remarks

and blaming the media the city mayor and jewish community leaders had urged trump not to visit pittsburgh personally i would like him to stay away if he can 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 on monday court trials began in the u.s. for the only suspect in pittsburgh shooting and a separate suspect in miami accused of sending mail bombs in the wake of those incidents social media platforms have come under increased scrutiny in both cases the suspects had expressed their hostility online the alleged pittsburgh gunman robert gregory wrote a series of anti semitic tweets posts actually on the network and gab dot

com and in the wake of the massacre the website which is popular with the so-called all to right and free speech advocates was actually taken down and cesar all terry say the man reported to have sent a series of mail bombs was active on twitter he believed to have written death threats to politicians including former vice president joe biden on the platform and 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 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 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 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 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 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 engage in these things and then we can put proper public pressure that does it for me i'll be back in about thirty five minutes with a look at your headlines which make up thirty six minutes it would.

greetings and sally you take us it's starting to feel like there's a new tragedy of rhetoric violence and loss every week here in the country of sea to shining sea and schools to nightclubs to places of worship mass shootings to become the latest tool of the lonely and fracture and now we have a degree want to be bomb makers mailing their wares to everyone who represents an enemy to his delicate political ideology from c.n.n. to robert de niro and in the news coverage aftermath of every tragedy your headline making grab for attention one term that gets bandied about like a hand grenade at a horseshoe tournament is radicalized. the suspect was radicalized he was a radicalized muslim a radicalised christian a radicalized atheist he was radicalized by online hate speech which was radicalized by donald trump who was radicalized by fox news which was a response to a radicalized left wing media which would self was
