3:06 am
does is what happened there started people and i get it it costs right when demonstrations and in general people have the right to protest but this doesn't justify using national socialist radical symbols nevertheless i understand this over the migrant issue not only that but in a broad. and there are also problems of cross border crime and even drug smuggling these are all questions that we should discuss naturally as shouts of. vague burthen must go be ringing out from the crowd see a word she is going to go she said she will step down as chancellor in twenty twenty one she's already about to relinquish the leadership of her party the christian democratic union but for these people here in camp it's her legacy as the person that opened up germany's borders to refugees that she'll be most remembered in their opinion reviled for the troll of her r.t. . prosecutors appear to be preparing charges for julian assange
3:07 am
a copy and paste error as revealed u.s. authorities are still seeking to bring the wiki leaks founder to justice the nature of the charges and whether they'll actually have been filed or not remains unclear though a reference to the case of apparently by mistake as part of an unrelated court filing. the complaint supporting affidavit would need to remain sealed until songes a rested in connection with the charges in the criminal complaint and could therefore no longer evade or avoid a wrist and extradition in this matter assad has been holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london since twenty twelve last year a sex assault investigation into the australian national was shelved by swedish authorities however he still faces arrest in the u.k. for breaking terms of bail he's an equally wanted man in the united states to where he fears being extradited now u.s. authorities have previously sought to bring

3:09 am
julian songe so the question is why are they not protecting one of their own today not realize that if they don't protect one of their own they would be equally vulnerable under these sort of laws and i think that's something that the legacy media in the west needs to really seriously think about either we have press freedom for all we have press freedom for none now to someone who legacy media has no problem standing up for our jim acosta c.n.n. has just had his white house pass temporarily restored it was revoked following donald trump's now infamous press conference after the midterm elections during which a cost a legit leader sold him in turn or not depending on what side you're on in case you missed it is poorly boyko. donald trump c.n.n. has jim acosta missed it sometimes everyone's the bad guy. the orange one and c.n.n. the mom at the white house quoting at a press conference posed a real dilemma how do you pick sides when they're acting like overgrown sportsmen
3:10 am
to support a call to say you've got to ignore the fact that he was attempting to lecture the commander in chief while trying to take over a press conference to get behind trump you'd have to ignore that he called a child that and an enemy of the people and he's trying to. ultimately you know everyone decided it had been a bad day for roll lessons were learned that and a line was rolling on to the whole story. just kidding the white house threw a female into an on the front. seat at the highway to bomb the cost of from the white house accusing him of placing your hand on me in time to c.n.n. is now suing them well here it is the whole disgusting horrifying headline grabbing right thing video that you will hear her show you worried i should have stuck to the president i did that show nash one of the other folks that stood up for me ma'am this was me that's enough was frozen ride one of you don't need to go i mean you're on on the russia investigation we're looking at our video. that's it let's

3:12 am
often international a rape trial has outrage in ireland after the defense used. to win the case and explains why hundreds of women took to the streets and posted images of their underwear on social media. to what extent does what you wear send a message especially a message that you wouldn't mind meeting someone or better even having sex with them would be all right with you and does a lazy thong spread that message loud and clear that a regular old pair of granny panties or is it not up to a piece of cloth to express consent for a woman a recent court case in ireland has fired up this conversation after a pair of underwear was presented as evidence at a rape trial in the city of cork a twenty seven year old man was accused of rape by a seventeen year old woman he said she had consented she said she didn't the man's lawyer had a one point use the woman's choice of underwear as proof of her intent that's the
3:13 am
evidence of the possibility that she was attracted to the defendant and was open to meeting someone and being with someone you have to look at the way she was dressed she was wearing a thong with a lace front the defendant was unanimously acquitted by the jury protesters took to the streets in several irish cities over the lawyers stunt demanding an end to victim blaming in court but. the whole long as you're a up in public in protest as well as police did on the steps of the courthouse where the trial took place can send cannot come from clothing it can't come from a piece of material it can only come from the parents and the outrage reached the irish parliament to the same recently close. even contraception being used to discredit women who have to bravery to go to course women around the world are posting photographs of their underwear online as part of a campaign dubbed this is not consent my sexy underwear my plunging neckline my

3:15 am
3:16 am
it is good to have you with us today the u.s. is of course engaged in fighting terror all around the world washington though is also active in yemen supporting the saudis in their fight against the these however with al qaeda now also targeting the who think these lines between allies and enemies are fast becoming blurred is down hawkins. human suffering only started making headlines with the civil war in twenty fifteen but the country's been coming under u.s. bombardments for far longer sixteen years in fact in modern history only the afghan war has lost that longer and part of the reasoning in both cases is fighting al qaida we're going to come. to work with the yemeni government to try to identify a q a p leadership and operations try to thwart them the conflict shows no sign of
3:17 am
abating and the u.s. is fighting on more than one front washington backs the saudi led coalition and its battle against who three rebels in the country and here is where it gets complicated al qaida terrorists are now reportedly partnered up with some militias armed and funded by the u.s. backed coalition al-qaeda leaders even brag about it. to this conflict know for certain about our participation we're fighting alongside our muslim brothers in yemen or help them with weapons and everything we can. unraveling the resulting melee distinguishing fighters from fanatics is all but impossible and apparently the fight against who through rebels is a great recruiting sergeant for al qaeda and for growing their arms and revenue streams creating a vicious cycle that doesn't seem to have a logical conclusion nevertheless the saudis and americans insist they are committed to fighting terrorism in the country drone strikes have long been the weapon of choice and since there's little official data on the specifics of
3:18 am
casualties from such operations i still rely on data from other sources latest figures estimate a third of those killed in twenty eighteen were pro-government forces those actually fighting for the coalition or civilians. so let's see how well this is a picture of the car after the strike they were looking for the boy when the strike happened it was a drew midsomer that killed them in weaponized al qaeda to fight strategic enemies might have paid dividends on the ground but yemen's long term future remains bleak to say the least. elements of the u.s. military are clearly aware that much of what the u.s. is doing in yemen is aiding a.q. a.p. and there is much anger about that however supporting u.a.e. in the kingdom of saudi arabia against what the u.s.
3:19 am
fuse is iranian expansionism takes priority over battling each year a.p. and even stabilizing yemen it seems washington has its priorities clearly set and collateral damage and truly eradicating al qaeda are not top of that list. a un official has accused the british government of inflicting mystery on the country's poorest people through austerity policies. poverty is really a major challenge in the united kingdom what i found in my discussions with ministers. is basically a state of denial and they are happy with the way in which their policies are playing out and i think that sort of punitive approach to benefits is really in consistent in fact breaks it is going to make that worse because those in the lower income levels are really going to suffer one in five brits live in poverty and over
3:20 am
a million people can't afford the basic essentials there reported by the un's reportorial on poverty and human rights that child poverty could hit forty percent within just a few years but the u.k. government says it is across the problem. we are absolutely committed to helping people improve their lives while providing the right support for those who need it . or of food buying britain re will food has concerns about the numbers released in this report by the un. a y in twenty eighteen people are literally starving to death not just in india not just in yemen not just in kashmir but also here in london one of the richest capitals on the planet why isn't this story is not number one on the b.b.c. number one on i.t.v. poverty one in five that's twenty percent of the population are in poverty supposedly it's an issue we all need to be addressing and all political parties are responsible why is it with one in five people in poverty in this in the u.k.
3:21 am
not one political party has a minister dedicated to eradicate poverty and that in itself is a scandal that poverty is not being addressed it's not being seen as having any value and the reality is too many people are making money out of poverty. in the mexican state of chap press locals who are drinking. huge amounts of coca-cola but not because they want to taste the feeling rather the soft drink is far more readily available than clean drinking water and that's getting people hooked up with dire consequences for their health.
3:22 am
the state has failed to provide safe drinking water so coca-cola like any company is taking advantage of the gap needs to be filled people need water or something else to drink so coca-cola comes in. it. could call is an offering for daily work and enough for him to god. in indigenous coaches these posh liquor which has always been the favored ritual during now color is on the same level. if someone has new money they can use the soft drinks a form of currency. does cue the people
3:23 am
oh yes drink it coca-cola will take everything bad out of your body. previously it was estimated that thirty percent of the indigenous population consumed soft drinks now it's fifty percent. one of the big consequence slips out of diseases that people come to the hospital none of them are nasty. i'm a regular check on them since december and that was when the details of the show get to see. me and sign crystal moll and the surrounding municipalities water is not drinking water is not providing.
