on south society arabia jeremy hunt says the u.k. called for two and a sissy a joke to has the details. because should be murder may be quote completely contrary to british values but it doesn't look likely that this will be affecting the trade relationship between the u.k. and its a long time ally saudi arabia anytime soon despite the renewed criticism of this trade relationship with the u.k. selling weapons to the saudi regime having been renewed following this latest scandal one of the issues is that there are some countries which have very good human rights record that would end up being very insulted if we said to them that we're only prepared to sign a trade deal with you if you breach the human rights clause and i think there is a particular issue that because it breaks it we are going to be a we just signed trade deals with everyone at the moment well there we have it u.k. foreign secretary saying that trade relationships with everybody are going to be continuing especially in light of bragg's it but this issue of the u.k.

2:05 pm
it all the more shocking to hear that u.k. foreign secretary jeremy hunt was saying in westminster that it's necessary to wait and see what kind of investigation results are going to come out of the khashoggi case and he also said that it's important to see how saudi arabia will react and potentially promise to not similarly moving forward in the future. and release to commentator dollars says it's unrealistic for the u.k. to currently stop dealing with riyadh. when asked before. is 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 in the foreign

2:11 pm
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

2:13 pm
punches no matter where you go in the united states you can't escape the great american divide say or it was a report of 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 or 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
2:14 pm
and i changed my mind come on it's vanity license plate and i was like the republican party has lost perhaps its most high profile celebrity supporter and it runs the county of west said he's been used to being linked to a campaign to convince african-americans to ditch support for the rival democratic party conservative countess evans who's initially behind the campaign earlier praised 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 off the 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 a fire in northern port city of savannah. the cars were awaiting explore when sea water flooded a storage area causing the batteries to explode italy has been hit by huge and deadly storms in the last few days which has caused widespread flooding and damage . coming out nato is holding its biggest war game in decades with over thirty countries involved we've got that story and more after this break.
2:16 pm
i have the honor to once again the interview. as a former e.u. diplomat and founder and director of conflicts forum and of course we're going to discuss the middle east. seems wrong. to me to. get to shape out just to become educated and in the game because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. join me every thursday on the all excitement and i'll be speaking to the world of politics. i'm sure i'll see you then.

back to the program the u.s. banks syrian democratic forces which are mostly made up of kurdish troops have announced a temporary halt to operations against islamic state on wednesday and villages were reportedly attacked by turkey near its border with syria the u.s. has supported kurdish forces in the region washington considers them to be effective fighters against i saw particularly in profits meanwhile on the opposite side of syria i saw terrorists have gained ground close to the border with iraq killing over forty u.s.
2:18 pm
backed fighters during an offensive but washington had previously claimed i saw it was close to total defeat. for 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 don't agree with those as we have just absolutely decimated those 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 for its incursion tuesday both sides but we will
2:19 pm
continue to go after them in the weeks ahead i saw the latest propaganda video even includes a not so subtle threat a skyline view of the government controlled town but hold on just how much of a surprise was this latest isola tag really short they moved in under the cover of a sandstorm but it's not like the kurds which are in charge of eastern syria didn't know eisel was on their porch they have been fighting terrorists in the area for a whole year but despite their best efforts to little success and that could be due to the fact that their effort has been dwindling gradually apart from i saw the kurdish fighters have been focusing on skirmishes with the syrian army and repelling the turkish operation against them in the north this plays into the yard as sounds perfectly since assad's forces are not going anywhere and neither is turkey as president erdogan te's the next phase of what he calls an anti terror operation in syria but don't use them as you know we have started active
2:20 pm
intervention operations against the terror organization in the last couple of days we will. soon come down hard on the terror organization with more extensive and effective operations the united states also has been convincing the world it's hell bent on cleansing syria of terrorists yet years on it's their area of responsibility where i still strikes well with its bloodiest attack in months and i wonder could it be because american troops are in fact miles away from all the action. we don't have a contour a new mission here we have a defeat isis mission that competition between all these forces allows for isis to play back and forth every surrounding neighbor of syria and including the syrian government have had other enemies to fight in other concerns isis is opposed calm number two it's a difficult problem it's also a divided syria because you have
2:21 pm
a border region where you rocks on one side the syrian the democratic forces on the other backed by the united states and the syrian army backed by russia and iran are on the other there are many players in the syrian conflict and all of them are hungry for geopolitical bounty in syria and writing off early means risking another wave of terrorist resurgence. to monitor its largest military trial since the end of the cold war the block secretary general accused moscow of never being transparent with exercises of the last twenty five years but just last month observers from fifty seven countries attended russia's latest health and nato was invited to. made to always invite of service to our. exercises russia has not invited the international service to end the exercises the end of the cold war nato and russia exchanged reciprocal briefings on military
2:22 pm
exercises in may allied military attache days in moscow have been invited to a voluntary observation of the exercise. the nato exercises are already under way taking place from the baltic sea 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 long maneuvers with over fifty thousand personnel two hundred fifty aircraft and sixty five ships involved live to political analyst chris bambery now to discuss this further. chris thanks for coming on to the program now. get your opinions on this do you think stoltenberg is oblivious or intentionally when he's describing russia's boston drills as non transparent you know we mentioned there how many countries were invited and what could nato gain from considering the alliance was actually invited to observe. they still go in the sense of look stupid
2:23 pm
by saying that the response from all we have an issue does invitations we have these observers or exercise if we've played it by the rules i think the what they're in trouble about is that i'm to thrash around to explain why it's needful who's launching the biggest military exercise they've hired since the cold war along russia's borders and that military exercise isn't just a one off what we see here we should remind ourselves is the creation of a permanent needs or presence on the very borders of russia the in violation of promises given to former soviet president gorbachev that nato would not expand into eastern europe that has happened and therefore all of this must be put in perspective of that nato expansion and the fact that no need to are in the very borders of russia and that is something which is glossed over so it's not just
2:24 pm
a simple question of a one of military exercise this comes on the back of a build a building up of a permanent military presence and of some very bellicose statements by british politicians and british admirals for instance about the possibility of military conflict with russia and we have to put all in say that context chris if they're violating previous previous agreement by building up this permanent presence how are they getting away with it how are they justifying it. well i think first of all they've tried to deny they ever made that promise to gorbachev he's been very clear about that others have backed backed him up and i think there's a little doubt about about about that i think essentially they're basically not prepared to back down and they are prepared except in the crease of ukraine which they have not form with miltiades into nato but is aligned with nato and that's fair we are fairly obvious you have this no as i say they've they have just simply
2:25 pm
refused to back off and that now. expansion is continuing not just simply should be said on the the western borders of russia but also we have to add in american presence around the southern border as part of that expansion ports the iran iraq war the other interesting element which i think is beginning to worry the needle is joint military cooperation between russia and china are joined together in military exercises in the pacific region where china of course is that loggerheads with the united states japan and others and that collaboration between russia and china is something which is going to intensely worry nato yeah i mean these are the biggest nato till things the cold war and they chris why does nato not see them as aggressive. well i think the argument would be that they are an alliance that is in response to aggression in for and against ukraine in crimea we know the argument
2:26 pm
i think the russians would come back and see and point to nato nato expansion but i think the other thing that's quite worrying about this these exercises are about a conventional war you know you take for instance the united kingdom we know we have two big aircraft carriers launch which can only be used in a conventional war a naval war i mean if we are seriously talking about a build up towards some coke conventional confrontation between the west and russia if this is serious that would be such a frightening prospect and really is not talked about so the other element i have to add into this of course is we are seeing something when you call war between the rest and russia and that's being used to obscure the fact of these exercises the need to build up and so on and obscure the fact that russia may have something to be worried about here about this permanent new military presence a few hundred miles from moscow ok we'll leave it there political analyst chris
2:27 pm
bambery always good to have in the program. three people have been injured in a suicide bombing at russia's federal security service headquarters in the northern city of. the incident happened on wednesday morning those injured members they are in hospital but their conditions at this point iran you know 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. that's all i need for now i'll be back at the top of the out with more news so stay with us. when we need to make this manufacture consent to stick to the public well. when the women closest to protect themselves. with the crime.
2:28 pm
2:29 pm
people. zimmer. says the. small. fortune for the automobile out of both is. more than just financial. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to. have to go right to be cross with the bible before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters about how. this city.
