hello good evening welcome just gone five o'clock here in moscow you're watching r.t. international. now donald trump has suggested that the world should perhaps be held accountable for the murder of the journalist jamal khashoggi he also insisted that u.s. intelligence has not officially concluded that the saudi crown prince had ordered the killing despite media reports the contrary the us president was asked by reporters on thursday who should be held responsible. accountable. maybe the world should be held accountable chris the world is a vicious words world is a very very vicious blows or that statement does indicate a change in trump's rhetoric regarding because such a case when the news about the missing journalists first broke out a harsh response and even threatened to sanction saudi arabia and while the u.s. did sanction several saudi nationals so far has been washington's only punitive measure from claims he does not want to risk thousands of jobs because of this
9:03 am
incident they are vehemently denying. we have hundreds of thousands of job does do people really want me to give up hundreds of thousands of jobs and frankly if we went by that standard we would be able to have anybody who's in our because look at what happens all over the world the turkish foreign minister however has reacted strums words saying not everything in this world should be about money he also reiterated calls for an unbiased investigation jamal khashoggi was initially considered missing but saudi officials eventually miti had been killed in a claimed rogue operation riyadh has denied any awareness of the planned killing and has launched an investigation charging eleven officials middle east analyst side told us though that trump is simply trying to protect u.s. interests. but trouble saying here's what is actually so behind closed doors every single time i don't think it's sitting well with a lot of birds that is the only truth of their illusions obstacle we all need an
9:04 am
enemy and since you aren't so ready our arse and iran and israel that are asking the us is going to go against iraq we're going to get it all trumps president tom smile. you know on one hand that you may be actually trying to protect u.s. interests on the other hand if he sees this all of them are serving our governments can't you move people who are trying to absolve yourself from blame where you can point to everything you said and since there's i don't want to do that but all of you were made to stand up and so don't blame it on me. nothing nice tonight two deadly attacks have been carried out in pakistan at around the same time three gunman tried to storm the chinese consulate in the southern city of karachi during that incident police officers and all three tak is of the attackers were killed meanwhile twenty five people were killed in a suicide bombing at a crowded festival a market in the northwest of the country but there are. no no
9:05 am
no no no no that's not. what the following video captured the moment the gunfire started in the chinese consulate in karachi. to make you show the presence of the pollution the security forces were very much remember on the chinese consulate there were more of them were raised the ugly chinese going. good mood. as it was very got a boost there was a strong reaction by a box of the security forces more stopped at the wrist which are probably people we're going to have been known before our sort of support for suggesting that
9:06 am
probably some of the members of the security forces have altered will be lax jr while all members of the johnny gosch lot will be run members bill all three of. the wife of a british academic who was jailed for life by a united arab emirates court on spying charges has thanked the u.k. for finally intervening but after five months of appealing to the government daniela to jarvis says that london's inaction was caused by thir upsetting it's trading partner i was under the impression that they were putting their interests with figure of a british citizens. right for freedom while in a hearing without a lawyer matthew hedges he was sentenced to life in prison on wednesday accused of spying for the u.k. he's already spent five months in solitary confinement is a ph d. student he went to the u.a.e. to research the twenty eleven arab spring uprising i darby says it hopes to find
9:07 am
a solution to the case and is denied all claims of unfair treatment but the case 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 link you trade deals with the u.a.e. with more his and to see a chocolate. 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
9:08 am
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 we are raising 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.a.e. 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
9:09 am
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 to put on a dollar 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 could face the consequences of an emirati economic boycott of. the british museum has agreed to give back a collection of brown statues to nigeria but only temporarily poor boy care now looks at how a growing number of ownership disputes could see museums lose their treasures. it
9:10 am
may be called the british museum but many of the precious artifacts inside here are from 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 eighteen ninety seven and all the nations are submitting their requests to you have to take it keeping you two hundred and fifty years yes it was so months then we can hope that was the governor of
9:11 am
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 returned 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 nice even if there. was a great question that the world would just be talking about to speak it's been very
9:12 am
very scrupulous. so you would put a bill to which a group of their little stock would be lost because of their stock from other countries that have to shoot up to assure that we we we feel like we want to. go on strike 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 swore we would never get it to those who couldn't see it would we who were mean the less you have a few of the stolen things or yeah you think yes it should go back another otherwise i 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 if everyone gets everything back up as well as the law would prevail 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
9:13 am
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 large swathes of their collections in a bit of an awkward position. for you boyko than an illegal first for the us the judge has declared as unconstitutional a law banning the practice of circumcision known as female genital mutilation the
9:14 am
judge said the power to. g.m. is 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 or the practice is mostly carried out in africa asia and also the middle east and can have serious health consequences 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. and world health organization consider a violation of human rights we put the issue here 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 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
9:15 am
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 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
9:16 am
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 mutilated. we have some breaking news here on r.t. because at least twenty six people have been killed in iran fifty wounded in a suicide blast at a mosque near an army base in afghanistan that's according to security officials and all those killed are believed to have been working for the national security forces the tac comes three days after another suicide bombing at a gathering of religious scholars which killed dozens us the latest at the moment
9:17 am
any more information we'll bring it straight to you watching r.t. still to come this hour angela merkel defends u.n. migration deal and rejects nationalism in its purest form we'll have a look at that just after the break. the british government and the british establishment and mrs brook and mrs mrs may have looks themselves up into his studio about so called no deal just so he is incredibly misleading as i just said in so doing a lot of the european union to impose completely draco union terms on the u.k.
9:18 am
which would last anyway. seemed wrong. rowles just don't call. me old but you get to shape out these days comes to educate and in games from it equals a trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. thank you welcome back now tourists in the cattle and capital barcelona are no longer safe apparently because 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 in fact some three thousand leaflets have now been given to tourists in seven languages including english
9:19 am
french and also italian the leaflets include tips on how to avoid becoming a victim of crime or currently there are some sixteen and a half thousand offices in the area that the force says it needs around another two thousand police personnel and their supporters actually took to the streets back in october protesting against the cattle and interior minister. thank. god officials they say the crime rate is skyrocketed nineteen percent on last year to levels not seen since the eighty's however some
9:20 am
local tourists and residents to think the situation isn't that bad. when i came this was one fact that they're. not. getting such a big bag instead of the normal comfort. to other parts of the world and it feels pretty safe all the places in the world you never get get rid of one hundred percent. just tell people to. be careful and keep their bibles in their pockets as if you know i haven't come across anything that should make me feel uncomfortable. i feel super secure obviously i take care of my personal belongings but it's a quiet city safe you can walk at night i don't feel like something bad will happen to me. but german chancellor angela merkel has defended a controversial u.n. agreement on migration accusing its opponents of nationalism some of linked to remarks two to
9:21 am
a recent statement by the american president who said that he considers himself a nationalist the us is among a number of nations who rejected the un deal this piece or all of the reports. in public the relationship between the white house and europe's two leading powers is perfect because sometimes all quids occasionally very awkward. ok. bullets as anglo merkel begins her epilogue as 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 emptied out men 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 a betrayal of patriotism by pursuing our own interests first with no regard to
9:22 am
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 a u army
9:23 am
those feelings cut both ways the 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 over. and we spoke to a former deputy defense chief of germany about the differences in opinion between european leaders and washington. germany. president. so the german chancellor made it very clear and. very beginning of the presidency of plum she is leaning to the. clinton
9:24 am
mccain. this is saying was your premier was we have. more to. create of between president. that you will be in can't lose who are linked to the united states not only by need all. lot of. which. some say years ago. and that's how things are looking so far today here in our state that brings you up to date we're back again at the top of the. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world the politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.
9:25 am
nobody could see coming that false confessions would be that prevalent in the spot the waste the fall for converts. ted any interrogation out there what you'll see is a threat promise threat promise threat lie a lie a lie the process of interrogation is designed to put people in just that frame of mind make the most comfortable make them want to get out and don't take no for an answer don't accept their denials she said if i were to. say i stayed there i would be home by that time the next day there's a culture on accountability and police officers know that they can engage in misconduct that has nothing to do with solving our crime. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s.

is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamping each this. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one does not show you can afford to miss the one and only. her right out of place but can set down again for people that can't decide and they're like so damn tired. this is like a safe house thing as they don't have to talk about what they go through with us because we understand her daughter katie was diagnosed with

a very rare sun sensitive condition if i get sunburned i heal she does there's real patients are going to have problems with the walk to talk to some of the brains that are actually shrinking inside the scolded sleeker 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 near mosul always down to the bone and there's no really cool so we're not sure this is just. a statistic from a couple weeks ago came out that showed the wealth and income gap around the world in different countries and there's there's the u.s. there's france and then there's the u.k. it's like wow it's so incredible spread between this codger treasure and then

9:29 am
to move breaks along with european leaders has to raise a maze position and split the party with members of the road council to trying to pull the rug from under the feast will to resume manage to push the deal through could the political will wind sweep the british pm away but what happens if the u.k. ends up with a new deal breaks it. well and doubtless number of the european parliament welcome to the show great to have you with us so the draft for exit deal that is currently all going to be a thank you on the table it seems to offer too few new ties to please remain urse and not enough independence for hero to please to leave is it a working compromise or does only serve to annoy everybody. or amazing that the british government have managed to do something that satisfies absolutely nobody will remain as don't like it and most of the leaves don't like it including me for whatever that is worth. the key point about it is that forget
