6:05 am
a set of face and the music there for that's why she took a quarter of her year to grace us with her presence she knows no one wants her hear what angela merkel is doing she's selling out your own nation we have compassion to doze for really came from a war people who who escaped from a war will never harm anybody know that now the country in late august thirty five year old cuban german man was stomped to death after a confrontation in the early hours of the morning following an one thousand celebration that starving to death resulted in demonstrations and the far right groups that came out on to the streets and the violence that we saw erupt then was . does is
6:06 am
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 there is over the migrant issue not only that but in a broader sounds 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 merkel must vacate the earth and must go be wringing out from the crowds here she is going to go she said to step down as chancellor and twenty twenty one she's already about to relinquish the leadership of her party the christian democratic union for these people here in canada it's it's her legacy as the person that opened up germany's borders to refugees that should be most remembered in their opinion reviled for the troll of her all to. prosecutors
6:07 am
seem to be preparing charges for a song copy and paste error has revealed that u.s. authorities still seeking to bring the wiki leaks founder to justice the nature of the charges and whether they've actually been filed does remain unclear reference to the case occurs apparently by mistake as part of an unrelated court filing. the complaint supporting our food they would need to remain sealed until saunders arrested in connection with the charges in the criminal complaint and could therefore no longer evade or avoid a wrist and extradition in this matter worse than just being 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 bail terms is also wanted by the united states to to where he fears being extradited where u.s. authorities have previously sought to bring his sons to justice for leaking details of operations in iraq and afghanistan back in twenty ten that same year weeklies
6:08 am
also released hundreds of thousands of classified diplomatic cables and in twenty seventeen the group published the largest leak in cia history exposing the agency's cyber to was among other things julian assigned his lawyers have called the possible indictment a dangerous precedent. the notion that federal criminal charges could be broad based on the publication of truthful information is an incredibly dangerous precedent to set us indictment over sirens agree violation of press freedoms obviously when wiki leaks broke into the international consciousness about eight years ago we had a lot of allies in the international media and worked particularly closely with organizations such as the washington post the new york times and the guardian newspaper in the u.k. then there seem to be a lot of infighting and these all the legacy media outlets started turning on on julian songe so the question is why are they not protecting one of their own today
6:09 am
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. and that somebody that the legacy media has no problem standing up for jim acosta rich c.n.n. has just had his white house pass temporarily restored it was revoked you might remember following donald trump's now infamous press conference after the midterm elections during which acosta allegedly assaulted and into or not depending on which side you were on in case you missed it his party. donald trump says cnn's jim acosta missed it sometimes everyone's the bad guy. the orange one on c.n.n. the mom at the white house quoting a press conference posed a real die lemme how do you pick sides when both of them are acting like overgrown sportsmen to support
6:10 am
a call say you've got to be nor 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 equal to that and any of the people and that he's trying. ultimately though everyone decided it had been a bad day for roll lessons were learned than they line was drawn on to the whole story. just the white house through a female into an on the front. seat at the high rate of bond acosta from the white house accusing him of placing his hands on me in town and so c.n.n. is now suing them well here it is the whole disgusting horrifying headline grabbing right thing video in full interview where sure you worried i should know better the president i'm not sure that's one of the other folks that stood up for me ma'am this was me that's enough was present ride one of you don't need to go i mean on on the russia investigation are we looking at the right video. just look at the
6:11 am
outrage in the room from these some bro witnesses. this guy is so horrified it doesn't even though all the police and the foreign find see he may not be real and we talked about. this woman is so shocked by the group of thought she distracts us self by cleaning out one of her own and this young lady just learned them with this or she's going to put my top shelf either way she does not look up possible the white house throws out and makes dreamy questionable accusation about a nonevent the global media and all those online on the list take the bait. so the nation's not talking about stuff that actually matches anymore turns out the politics of distraction really does what you know my god what is that. now a rape trial has sparked outrage in ireland after the defense used
6:12 am
a controversial argument concerning consent to win the case and see it your can explains now 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 even having sex with them would be all right with you and does a lazy thong spread that message louder and clear than 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 evidence of the possibility that she was attracted to the defendant and was open to
6:13 am
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 open 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 be seen recently close faked even contraception being used to discredit women who have to break free 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
6:14 am
short skirt my tight jeans none of them is concerned you know what is me saying yes it should never be most shameful to be raped and to be a rapist no means no. and if they say churkin are. still to come this hour the united nations has warned that breaks it could actually push more british people into poverty we'll have a look at that story plus others to just after the break.
6:15 am
what politicians do. put themselves on the line. they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. that have to go right to be crushed which is what the three of them will be good. interested in the waters of our. friendship. welcome back to the u.s. is engaged in fighting terror around the world and washington is also active in
6:16 am
yemen supporting the saudis in their fight against the he thinks however with al-qaeda now also targeting they think the opposition lines between allies and enemies are becoming blurred is done hawk and reports. thought to 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 lasted longer and part of the reasoning in both cases is fighting al-qaeda we're going to continue 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 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
6:17 am
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 helping 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 in 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 casualties from such operations on us to 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.
6:18 am
so let's see how this is a picture of the car after the strike they were looking for the boy when the strike happened it was a drew mr that killed them weaponized al qaeda to fight strategic enemies may 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 your way in the kingdom of saudi arabia against what the u.s. fuse is reigning 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.
6:19 am
now a un official has accused the british government of inflicting misery on the country's poorest people through a stare at him policies poverty is really a major challenge in the united kingdom what i've found in my discussions with ministers. is basically a third of the mile. happy with the way in which their policies are playing out and i think that sort of punitive approach to burn of foods is utterly inconsistent 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 a million people cannot afford basic essential report by the un report on poverty and human rights does that that child poverty could actually hear forty percent within a few years but the u.k. government says it's across the problem. we are absolutely committed to helping
6:20 am
people improve their lives while providing the right support for those who need it you author of food bank britain ray walford has concerns about the statistics released in the un report. a why in twenty thousand 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 so poverty is 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. 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
6:21 am
value and the reality is too many people are making money out of poverty. and the mexican state of chapters drinking huge amounts of coca cola but not because they want to taste the failing or rather the soft drink is far more ready readily available than clean drinking water and that's getting people to with dire consequences for their health. yes. me here melissa this state has failed to provide safe drinking water so coca-cola
6:22 am
like any company is taking advantage of a gap the needs to be felt people need water or something else to drink so coca-cola comes in. it. could call as an offering for daily work and enough ring to god. in indigenous cultures these posh liquor which has always been the favorite ritual drink now colors on the same level. if someone has no money they can use the soft drinks a form of currency. does could cure people oh yes drinking coca cola will take everything bad out of your body it will. previously it was estimated that thirty percent of the indigenous population
