of fire all members of the journey god will be run member's bill all through. the wife of a british academic who was jailed for life by united arab emirates court on spying charges thank the u.k. for finally intervening after five months of appealing to the government under to jarvis says that london's inaction was caused by a theory of upsetting its trading partner i was under the impression that they were putting their interests with figure of a british citizens. right for freedom well in a hearing without a lawyer matthew hedges was sentenced to life in prison on wednesday accused of spying for the he has already spent five months in solitary confinement he's a ph d. student he went to the u.a.e. to research the twenty eleven arab spring uprising darby says it hopes to find a solution to the case and is denied all claims of unfair treatment but the case
7:06 am
has prompted a wave of criticism with calls for a reevaluation of britain's relationship with her or a rich gulf ally when hedges was first incarcerated in abu dhabi the u.k. government was trying to you try deals with the u.a.e. and this is a chalk picks up the story. accused of spying and jailed for life that's now the fate of a british academic researcher in the united arab emirates an ally and friend of the u.k. but how much trouble is this case likely to stir up between the two given what's at stake we are incredibly disappointed that the u.s. should do this we see no foundation in the charges that have been laid against him there will be serious diplomatic consequences for a country that says that it is a friend and ally of the united kingdom for months ahead just wife says her repeated requests for help have fallen on deaf ears at the foreign office and they just disregarded my request they said that it wasn't part of three job the british

prime minister says the u.k. is on top of things and doing everything it can we already see it with the emerald fuel storage is of the highest level my marginal friend the foreign secretary is urgently seeking a call with the foreign minister abdullah it is during his visit to the u.a.e. on november the twelfth he raised the issue with both crown prince mohammed bin ziad and the foreign minister incidentally also in the emirates last week a u.k. trade minister with fifteen british companies promoting economic ties between the two countries u.a.e. is the fifth largest trading partner for the u.k. outside europe coming after us a japan china and hong kong and bilateral trade is now growing in double digits in october the u.s. ambassador to the u.k. said there is hope of bilateral trade reaching twenty five billion pounds by twenty twenty it is currently at over seventeen billion so could the price tag of this long term cooperation and being worth more than ruffling feathers over the fate of
7:08 am
one citizen problem for trees are going to talking at the moment bridges or taking back control reasserting so foreign to you and that puts them in a dilemma they don't want to be seen to be weak on an issue like this abroad but on the other hand they also need to be building economic bridges. the e.u. maybe again the government of the emirates is thinking the british can't possibly push this too far because they're on a weekly comic work it the british could of course withdraw the military support and by extension the supply of military equipment and at the same time they could face the consequences of an emirati economic boycott. now the british museum has agreed to give back a collection of bronze statues to nigeria but only on loan looks now at how a growing number of ownership disputes could sing museums lose their treasures. it may be called the british museum but many of the precious artifacts inside here are
7:09 am
from far far away a quiet some might even say looted during the times that the british empire ruled far and wide and now an increasing number of persons former colonies all outright victims of theft all saying that they want their precious treasures to be returned home now in response to the british museum has all the courteously said that it's willing to lend out some items rather than return them the latest loan will be to nigeria a collection of bronze statues the bin mean bronzes as the known were originally taken from africa by british troops in eight hundred ninety seven and all the nations are submitting their requests to you have to take it keeping him one hundred in peace to use its veto so months then we can hope that was the governor of easter island begging the british museum for its precious statue
7:10 am
earlier this week and the list of disputed museum treasures keeps on growing. so should the spoils of the empire be were tunde i want to know what those resisting the museum those feasting their eyes on the foreign artifacts have to say about it there's a lot of dispute actually over some of the foreign artifacts the british museum got in the times of empire should they just return everything. well that would be receiving them there but what a great question that the world would just be talking about to speak it's been very very scrupulous. who would have dual citizenship their little stop would be lost
7:11 am
because of the look of their structures from other countries that have to shoot up to assure that we we we feel like we want it but we don't strip. should be given back confidence is that a bit rich as well say will lend you back the things that we stole from you possibly. see your lot in the in from the different could use and stuff is just to all who would never get it to those who couldn't see it would we who are mean the less you have a few of the stolen things is all yeah you think yes it should go back another otherwise you think we should keep it to remind ourselves of our history and why this stuff is here in the first base their risk of the museum being empty if everyone gets everything back. well off the lot it would be pretty good but as for the british museum itself well it told us that it welcomes debate and transparency regarding the history of its collections but that in many cases allowing them to stay in the museum gives them wider public access we are very much in favor of more
7:12 am
transparency around the problem of objects and museum collections we still believe however that there is a very strong public benefits museums like the british museum housing objects from across the world under one roof while the issue of foreign artifacts has been made all the more thought any thanks to a more laissez faire attitude across the channel the french president emanuel macron appears to be more willing to send france's colonial acquisitions back to their rightful owners and that's putting museum directors here at risk of losing large swathes of their collections in a bit of an awkward position. for the reporting now an illegal first for the us a judge in the city of detroit has declared america's law banning the practice of circumcision known as female genital mutilation to be unconstitutional the judge . said that the power to outlaw f.p.m. was down to individual states not congress as he dismissed some of the charges
7:13 am
against eight people including two doctors for conducting the procedures on under-age girls well it is a widely band practice found in africa and asia and also the middle east and can have serious health consequences too in some cases even death an estimated two hundred million women around the world are thought to have undergone the procedure which the u.n. and world health organization considers a violation of human rights when we put the issue up for debate and got opinion on both sides of the argument. it is absolutely misleading to suggest that female circumcision i'm talking about all three forms is intended to actually does suppress female sexuality well i'm a doctor of human development and i can tell you that this flies in the face of everything that i've ever studied regarding women's rights so i want to make it clear that i am not pro mutilation i would never support the mutilation there are a set of practices that supporters like myself refer to as female circumcision and
7:14 am
there are many different forms usually what happens with this terminology female genital mutilation or f.e.m. is that the most extreme form which is very actually quite rare is what gets gets conflated with all the other practices my counterpart here is is comparing apples and oranges she's talking about the difference between women who make a conscious decision as an adult to have to undergo some sort of cosmetic or other sort of procedure no one has a problem with that here and that's not what our conversation is about we're talking about seven year old children almost babies having these decisions to make them essentially a sexual and to risk their lives doing it i reject the term i reject the term mutilation as sexist and racist you do not refer to boys as mutilated so you don't refer to our bodies as mutilated so how far do we let those values impose
7:15 am
themselves up on american values which are based on constitutional and individual freedoms and certainly genitally mutilating a child without their ability to even consent as an adult is not an american value most of the women from my knowledge from my twenty five years of research as well as from my experience do not. consider themselves as mutilated and don't experience themselves as mutilated. tourists in the capital catalan capital of barcelona are no longer safe that's the message on leaflets being handed out by local police amid a spike in the city's crime rate over the last year some three thousand leaflets have been given to tourists in seven languages including english french and italian and include tips on how to stay safe currently there are some sixteen thousand officers in the area but the forced us a needs around two thousand more police and their supporters took to the streets

7:17 am
like that is why i'm getting such a big bag instead to put all my comfort aside by trying to other parts of the world and it feels pretty scifi outside all the place in the world you never going to get rid of one hundred percent crime i just tell people to. be careful and you know i don't keep their bibles in their pockets as i don't know i haven't come across anything that should make me feed uncomfortable and save. i feel super secure obviously i take care of my personal belongings but it's a quad cities safe you can walk at night i don't feel like something bad will happen to me your. company the softening still to come from. the frenzy un migration agreement and rejects nationalism in its purest form at some of the stories to come just off the price.
7:18 am
7:19 am
question. welcome back now german chancellor angela merkel has defended a controversial united nations agreement on migration accusing its opponents of nationalism the initiative is meant to help facilitate legal migration but has been rejected by a number of countries including the u.s. he's president admits being a nationalist with more his peytral of. in public the relationship between the white house and europe's two leading powers is perfect of course sometimes all could occasionally very awkward. ok. bullets as anger merkel begins her epilogue of german chancellor she's made what's being seen as a job not only of her populist opponents at home but also at the us president
7:20 am
emptied our mind there are people who say they can solve everything themselves and don't have to think about anyone else and that's nationalism in its purest form this is not patriots he is that echoes a similar sentiment from president mccrone but beetroot ism is the exact opposite of nationalism nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism it's by pursuing our own interests first with no regard to others we raise the very thing that a nation holds most precious and that of course the polar opposite of the trump mantra america third america for just america first it's all about america first the cause for concern seems to revolve around france and germany having their own relationship with russia and china germany even going as far as to negotiate their own energy deals how dare they said the us president spoke to the united nations germany will become totally dependent on russian energy if it does
7:21 am
not immediately change course we are committed to maintaining our independence from the encroachment of expansion is foreign powers. and the united states is increasingly unhappy with france's backing of an a u army those feelings cut both ways a recent poll of germans found that they feel the united states is a bigger risk to world security than terrorism while eight out of ten french people polled didn't pull any punches at all referring to the u.s. commander in chief as a dangerous incompetent racist quite it's understandable that the u.s. wouldn't be entirely thrilled that you are trying to stand up for its own interests but is a little push back from france and germany to the united states ultimately a bad thing peter all of our berlin we spoke to believe him

7:24 am

patients and they have problems with the walk to talk to your son the brains are actually shrinking inside the skull gets thicker in the brain still small. the pain is indescribable it's feels like a really really bad chemical burn but it goes through your skin in your muscle always down to the bone. there is no really cool so we're. just not so sure this is.
7:27 am
the commuter. bumps response to the california wildfires and a growing battle about who will be the next speaker of the house willie brown the outspoken former mayor of san francisco is here to talk about those topics and more on this edition of. welcome to the politicking i'm larry king willie brown is the always candid and often entertaining former democratic mayor of san francisco he also serves as a speaker of the california state assembly and now he delivers a wildly popular weekly column for the san francisco chronicle it's always
7:28 am
a pleasure to welcome him who we know each other a long time he joins us from the shapeshifter really how goes it it's gone extremely well larry although the smoke from the fire up in the butte county is creating a problem for us here we are all out we're in mass. all right it's killed it's the deadliest in california history so she it impresses the seventy six deaths thirteen hundred missing the president has said this was poor management of the forests for jamaica that well at shows you how uninformed this particular president happens to be after all larry some sixty to seventy percent of the land involved is under the control of the federal government and only the state when it asked permissions can do something about that particular land certainly obviously there are some things
7:29 am
that should and could have been done and should in the future be done but it is not just mismanagement it is a law nature to take its course period. in your column in the chronicle you took a little swipe at the lock of help from hollywood you so you wrote that have you notice the celebrities silence about the fire victims no telephones no benefit concerts no nothing why do you think that well i suspect because there's just not the same connection when we had a fire here a year or more ago up in the napa valley when sonoma and when napa santa rosa and all of those places went up in smoke many of them were second homes larry of people who live here in san francisco of people from los angeles of people in the artistic world many of them were wineries with investments but by multiple people from all over the nation so people had a real connection in
7:30 am
a real relationship and they had been there recently and therefore it was easy for them to instantly garner support and attention and an opportunity to help people restore what they had lost their in the process of in fact the one that restored a trailer up in up in part one of those areas in california that has been struck in the camp fire is just not the same paradise is a mist ascription of that area of california. in the new house we switch to other areas the democratic side will be younger more female more diverse g.o.p. side will be older white and more male what does this mean for the prospects of getting anything done in the next two years well i think one thing is for certain mr trump will not have the incredible force that he had in the first two years of his administration.
