8:07 am
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 third job the british prime minister says the u.k. is on top of things and doing everything it can be all raising it with the emerald feel for it is of the highest level my model for 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 zeid 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 one citizen problem for trees are going to talking at the moment bridges or taking back control reasserting so foreign to you and 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 possibly push this too far because they're on a weak or economic 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
8:09 am
could face the consequences of an emirati economic boycott of. the british museum is agreed to give back a collection of bronze statue to nigeria but only the lone pretty boy kerry now looks at how museums are at risk of losing collections the number of disputed treasures keeps on crack. it may be called the british museum but many of the precious artifacts inside here are 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 the british museum has only 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 been mean bronzes as the known were originally
8:10 am
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 you two hundred in peace to use your skills so once we were going home that was the governor of easter island begging the british museum for its precious statue 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
8:11 am
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 received there what a great question of the world would just be talking about to speak it's been very very scrupulous. so you wouldn't do it so you should group up their little stuff we've been lost because of stuff from other countries that have to shoot up to assure that we we we feel like we've won it but we don't strip there 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 war but would never be to those who wouldn't see it would we who were mean the less you have a few of the stolen things or yeah if 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
8:12 am
is here in the first base their risk of the museum being empty if everyone gets everything back up. where are the lot of it would probably go 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 transparency around the provenance 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
8:13 am
large swathes of their collections in a bit of an awkward position. they're now an illegal first for the us a judge has declared as unconstitutional law banning the practice of circumcision known as female genital mutilation the judge said that the power to log. f.e.m. was down to individual states not congress and he dismissed some of the charges against eight people including two doctors for conducting the procedure on under-age girls the practice mostly carried out in africa or asia in the middle east and can have serious health consequences too including in extreme cases death an estimated two hundred million women around the world are thought to have undergone the procedure which the u.n. world health organization considers a violation of human rights we did put the issue up for debate and got opinion on both sides of the argument. it is absolutely misleading to suggest that female
8:14 am
circumcision i'm talking about all three forms is intended to actually 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 there are many different forms usually what happens with this terminology female genital mutilation or s.t.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 are
8:15 am
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 themselves up on american values which are based on constitutional and individual freedoms and certainly genitally mutilating a child without their ability to even consider it 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 middle aged. national had a bag we had here area still to come this hour angela merkel has defended a u.n.

have linked her remarks to a recent statement by the american president who said that he considers himself a nationalist the us though is among a number of nations who rejected the un deal as peter oliver reports. in public the relationship between the white house and europe's two leading powers is perfect because sometimes all could occasionally very awkward. ok. but as anglo merkel begins her epilogue chancellor she's made what's being seen as a job not only of her populist opponents at home but also at the u.s. president and he had outlined there are people who say they can solve everything themselves and don't have to think about anyone else that's nationalism in its purest form this is not patriots he is that echoes a similar sentiment from president mccrone but your patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism nationalism is
8:29 am
a betrayal of patriotism 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 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 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 army
