i've i've. i think. i've i've. i've i've i. became a foreign secretary is grilled by parliament over weapons deals with saudi arabia but. no position to negotiate commercial interests. on the trade deal with if you breach the human rights. because we are going to

trade deals with everyone. from death row to a countrywide scandal a christian woman's blasphemy case in pakistan sees a right wing islamic party called for the judges to be killed after they overturned her conviction. and america's upcoming midterm elections the media go all out with public voters even long running sitcom the big bang theory by. watching all t international live from our studio with me welcome to the program british foreign secretary jeremy hunt has expressed shock over the latest information to emerge in the my. a case of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi

istanbul's chief prosecutor has reported that jamal khashoggi was strangled as soon as he entered the saudi consulate in the city before his body was then dismembered and disposed of here is jeremy hunt's reaction to the case. shall be. he's. incredibly shocking to think of spoken more openly and more strongly to. the foreign minister that i'm aware of but i made it very clear that if the press stories were true. he is increasingly like you that they are. what it would be completely come to over . two and a situation who's been following this in london and to see if another revelation from the talk is prosecuted but will this change anything in terms of britain's

arms deals with that riyadh thoughts the big question isn't it it is indeed the diarra but that looks increasingly unlikely with this murder being quote completely with the fact that the crash argy murder may be quote completely contrary to british values it does indeed seem increasingly unlikely that this is going to somehow a fact of the relationship between the u.k. and its longtime allies saudi arabia despite the renewed criticism regarding the trade of weapons between the u.k. and saudi arabia in light of this latest scandal. one of the issues is that there are some countries which have a very good human rights record that would end up being very salty if we said to them that we are only prepared to sign a trade deal with you if you breach the human rights laws and i think there is a particular issue that because of practice it we are going to be a we just signed trade deals with everyone at the moment well there we have it

foreign secretary jeremy hunt saying that human rights situations are not going to be affecting trade for the u.k. especially moving forward to with just around the corner but this issue of how to move forward with saudi arabia has been at the forefront here in westminster this week we know that just yesterday we saw the middle east a minister alistair burt being questioned in parliament as well and he also continued to insist that the treating of arms is something that does not affect the situation in terms of saudi arabia and the war in yemen. the only thing that we don't do is actually press the button to drop the bomb supplies for those who need to defend themselves the amount of raids targeting civilians is going up north if these are aware of is there seem to be an awful lot of. well the

u.k. government considered continues to be quite insistent that according to them there is no link between the khashoggi murder and the saudi arabia led coalition war in yemen that at this point has led to the lives to the deaths of fifty six thousand people and there we had just seen recently just now you can foreign secretary hunt again reiterate that according to him there are also good things in saudi arabia and basically he said the world should just wait and see what's kind of investigation results we're going to see when it comes to the case saying that maybe potentially saudi arabia could even promise to not similarly moving forward ok thanks very much for the. reporting from london thanks. journalist and middle east commentator adele dahl wish says it's unlikely that they will halt its arms sales to riyadh. when asked before.

as still. from britain still. within the rules i don't see a member of parliament good just. over the board six thousand people in my constituency out of work so you have to actually get that balance the problem office probably in your line which feeds the downing street always is better to be engaged with the count of you so you can exert pressure behind the closed doors and with our very closed doors or of a megaphone diplomacy which is practiced by the americans that's not actually the british way of doing things. blasphemy case against a christian woman in pakistan has got one political party calling for so-called religious justice the judges who have turned the woman's death penalty and now facing calls for their own sentencing from islamic hardliners correspondent has

more on the scandal. this is us here baby and she's just been taken off death row but instead of celebrating a second chance at life it sparks anger outrage and mass protests across pakistan. that. things began to fall apart snarling years ago while out picking fruit it was a hot day and she drank some mortar yes that was enough to sentence her to death and put her in solitary confinement for almost a decade but the real reason is that us here is a christian the other women who were with her that say said she had touched a cup which meant they could no longer drink from it i was beaten and accused of blasphemy but it's with his sentence now overturned how the islamists are demanding what they call religious justice.

yes this is a very sad moment for us we were shocked to hear this news regarding the release order. but we are calling for our government to change that decision oh over. pakistan is a religiously conservative country there are any around two point five million christians making them a minority of just one point six percent of the population to protect islamic authority blasphemy laws were introduced in the nineteenth century and they're among the strictest in the muslim world it means insulting a religious belief can lead to imprisonment or even death and harsh punishments also stand for those who support the baby take the punjab governor so mom to say if he was assassinated by his bodyguard in twenty eleven for wanting to reform these laws the federal minister for religion. was also killed off the simply calling for

his release but from support for the assassinations the rights when pakistan's islamist party or the tail pay began to grow they've called for mass protests if the blasphemy law is touched they even say the country supremes court truck just to save themselves if attending a c.s. sentence the patron in chief of t.l.p. mohammad office all carbury has issued the verdict that says the chief justice and all those who ordered the release of deserve death mops the best are just losing trust in the overall governance and they feel that if there is a problem then. the system may not be. efficient to. issues and come up with justice in fact. there. matters also where the mob.

kills people but this is not confined to distil only because it is the trust of the the system. people coming to the courts and coming to the law enforcement agencies and this law has certainly put a why did their best which is a call for babies conviction to be held gripe is expected that office of asylum i brought will take. with just a week to go until the midterm elections in the us it seems everyone who's anyone has an opinion even the popular t.v. comedy series the big bang theory has an anti truck message on its credits and as caleb maupin reports much of their rhetoric is feeding public discord and social division. but the mid-term elections approaching things are getting intense across the united states bombs are being sent through the mail shootings are happening and talk of division is everywhere now in this context you would expect that american

media would try to calm people down bring them together well not this time just turn on c.n.n. this president has radicalized so many more people than isis ever did the commentator has sense apologized but trump wouldn't be trumped if he didn't fire back there was a woman who was just on c.n.n. a short while ago saying that you have radicalized more people than isis that was c.n.n. tonight well let this be some kind of a sick woman that's media and politicians but entertainment is where americans go to relax maybe have a few good laughs but now a lot of comedians have found a new soapbox to stand on even a show that's about nerds with poor social skills is starting to put up anti trust messages. if you knew a divine wisdom belief or fascist hate filled fan mongering demagogic truth shuttering socratic govt cheeta is what we need right now then you know that they

will be done but if i was inclined to more freedom more love more compassion i submissively that though encouraged to turn out in that general direction h.b.o. comedian john oliver did a piece about state attorney generals there on the ballot in thirty different states come november for some reason he decided to criticize exclusively republican candidates across the country if you live in wisconsin just google brad she will tend thousand dollar coins and you'll learn about how your money to spend ten grand of taxpayer money on coins reading. which stands for his actual personal motto kicking ass everytime. and music is now all about politics r. and b. star farrah williams is threatening to sue donald trump because trump supporters were listening to. hit song happy while they were waiting for the president to come on stage it seems that some musicians would like to band the make america great again crowd from listening to their music if only they could for

a row has not and will not grant you permission to publicly perform the worries broadcast or disseminate any of his music paid campaign advertising in the united states is very closely regulated by law however it seems that a lot of american t.v. not just news but also comedy shows celebrity gossip is taking sides and throwing punches no matter where you go in the united states you can't escape the great american divide say or it was a reporter one particular story that donald trump had actually recruited more terrorists than isis ok that was then met with an apology and the apology was then covered and then we covered the coverage of the apology and then whether the coverage of the coverage of the apology over the first statement was excessive so the media now are consuming our new you see we talk about living in the bubble we're in the media we believe that everyone sees things the way we do

that they care about things that we do it's for them sounds you think america cares do you think somebody is going to say you know what i was going to vote for whatever but doggone it i watched the big bang theory and i watched this one flash and i changed my mind come on it's vanity license plate it looks like the republican party has lost perhaps its most high profile celebrity supporter in a twitter rants the rapa kenya west said he's being used to being linked to a campaign to convince african-americans to support for the rival democratic party conservative kind of silence he's initially behind the come paint praise the collaboration with west. i'm blessed to say that this logo. these colors were created by my dear friend and fellow super hero kanye west.

in one tweet west said his eyes were now wide open and that he's distancing himself from politics it comes just a few weeks after west had a much publicized meeting with donald trump in the oval office in which he heaped praise on the president but now he claims he's been used to spread messages he says he doesn't believe in. hundreds of luxury sports cars have been destroyed by fire in the north and it's the port city of savannah. the calls were awaiting export when seawater flooded a storage area causing the batteries to explode italy has been hit by huge and at least storms in the last few days which is cause widespread flooding and damage.

coming up later is holding its biggest game in decades and fracking is shaking up the north of england the details after this break. what politicians do you should. put themselves on the lawn. to get accepted or

rejected. so when you want to express interest. want to be rich. but you'd like to be closer this is what it looks like korea boy can people get. into st paul's in the waters of our. first city. welcome back to the program three people have been injured in a suicide bombing at russia's federal security service headquarters in the north and city of. the incident happened on wednesday morning those injured it was staff members in hospital for the conditions are unknown at this point the suspect who

detonated the improvised explosive device was killed in the blast officials say he was a seventeen year old who lived in the area. tensions are up to it as drew's arabs protested a local election in the golan heights a disputed territory between syria and israel dozens of locals denounced the vote as illegal and pro israeli. i.d.f. soldiers use tear gas to break up demonstrations when crowds try to block the entrances to polling stations and several elections many people living in the. have refused to take up israeli citizenship and consider themselves syrian is the first local election since israel took control of the con and heights in one thousand nine hundred eighty seven the israeli government approved the poll last year after an

appeal from israeli. earlier we spoke to clinical analyst says israel's actions in the golan heights a claim against international law. it's definitely illegal and it's not an opinion by the syrian government it is the decision by the security council of the united nations the united nations issued resolution two forty two that calls upon israel to withdraw immediately from the golan heights from the west bank and gaza therefore under international law they are under occupation the occupying force has no right to interfere with their representation they are supposed to pick their own representation and that is according to international humanitarian law geneva conventions that is on one side there on the other side there is also the people in . the golan heights perceive these persons who are who are so-called running for the so-called the elections they are corrupt elements they are collaborators with the enemy with the collaborators with the occupying force they are expecting the

people to vote for people who are collaborating with the occupying force that is completely illogical it's impressive that these people in the occupied golan heights. holding on to their national city and identity at a time when so many arab countries are you know are making deals with the israelis it's really interesting that the syrians in the golan heights are not really buying all this they really believe that their rights of syrian citizens in syrian land they have the. right to be to be in their own country to liberate their country from foreign occupation the syrians are taken to the streets they're not just boycotting they're rejecting the entirety of the population that is falsely called that the process that is in there is not democratic process under international law when it comes to occupation the process is supposed to be a local mall between the locals there without any interference or from the occupying force. of fracking company in britain is calling for rules on gas

exploration to be relaxed despite a string of tremors resulting from its drilling activities operations resumed early this month after a seven year ban over safety concerns but now those tremors have come back again takes up the story. what happens when a company's just been given the right to start shale gas extraction but tiny earthquakes keep getting in the way that's the situation in lancashire in the north of england where energy company quadrille are after months of legal wrangling and protests. microseismic enough to hold drilling.

a boss of course driller has the government should just relax the rules and allow the company doing the fracking to frack on even after larger tremors because all the reports of seismic activity are scaring people it may well be that we have reached that time not only for the u.k. show gas industry but also to address the concerns of local people who are becoming increasingly worried by reporting of tiny movements in the earth which occur thousands of times across the u.k. every day as if they were harmful so here's how the traffic light monitoring system works right now think of it as the government's danger scale for shale gas extraction anything over nor point five on the richter scale is classed as a red light event and means an immediate suspension to drilling so drill no once

the red light event to be anything starting from two point zero on the richter scale environmentalists aren't so sure where it could reduce for a king at the moment it's a worrying situation and it seems to be. going very slowly and cautiously as they should. if you if you then over ground or terrain that's already been historically weakened significantly by historic cold. conses consequences could be very devastating. and that effectively covers the entire. half of the for a king my sense is in this country knows where the real problem is the fracking firm has reasons to be hopeful though over the summer the u.k.'s energy minister said that the current monitoring system is cautious and could be adjusted are put

where the government came to prove that its policy of supporting shale gas extraction is bearing fruit a change in the safety threshold could mean christmas coming early for the fracking frustrated by delays. nato is said to hold an open door day with the alliance inviting international observers to monitor its largest military trial since the end of the cold war the bloc secretary general accused of never being transparent with us exercises over the last twenty five years but just last month observers from fifty seven countries attended russia's latest drills and later was invited to. meet to always invite observers to over. exercises russia has not invited the national service to the exercise system of the cold war nato and russia exchanged reciprocal briefings on military exercises in may military attaché he's in moscow have been invited to

a voluntary observation of the exercise. the nato exercises are already underway taking place. in eastern europe all the way to iceland in the west of the continent military forces from thirty one countries are involved in the fortnight. with over fifty thousand personnel two hundred fifty aircraft and sixty five ships involved the alliance has even put together a tourist guide to video from norway where a large part of the exercises being held this is no we're told nor work. that morning. and we have. heard some saying. ever since while the story in the region after an attack by a fictitious aggressor the icelandic capital has had to replenish one of its core

supplies. coming up could be on the rise again in syria we get live reaction from a british politician who's been on the ground right after this short break.

i have the honor to once again the interview. of former e.u. diplomat and founder and director of conflicts forum and of course we're going to discuss the middle east. with just manufacture consent in terms of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. i mean the real news is.

i'm. fine this us. rational. designer all of the. zooming. should. begin to your. financial.

the program i saw terrorists have gained territory in syria close to the border with iraq killing over forty u.s. backed fighters journal offensive that washington had previously claimed that i saw was almost completely decimated as far as a ton of explains from all the boasting you may have gotten the idea that muslim mixtape in syria is so two thousand and sixteen the coalition to defeat isis has liberated very close to one hundred percent of the territory we've done

a great job with those as we have just absolutely decimated isis but the latest carnage is a clear signal that the terrorists are not ready to buckle just yet they've squeezed every drop of profit from the victory they've been craving for so long from obvious territorial gains to a massive p.r. push they filmed their operation and spoils of war from all thinkable angles it seems even with reinforcements america's proxy ground force the kurds couldn't hold off the surprise onslaught hard choice in casualties down both sides but we will continue to go after them in the weeks ahead i thought the latest propaganda video even includes a not so subtle threat a skyline view of a government controlled town but hold on just how much of a surprise was this latest isola tag really short they've moved.
