real the heart of what we do is the truth. for just twelve euros fifty a month. who should be held accountable. maybe the world should be held accountable because the world. says it's the world that is perhaps to blame for the murder of the prominent journalist. also to come this hour a suicide bomber attacks a crowded festival in northwest pakistan killing twenty five and leaving many

killing despite media reports the contrary the us president was asked by reporters on thursday who should be held responsible. held accountable. maybe the world should be held accountable cause the world is a vicious blows world it's a very very vicious blows the last statement is perhaps indicate a change in trump's rhetoric regarding the khashoggi case where the news about the missing journalist first broke a harsh response and even threatened to sanction saudi arabia while the us did sanction several saudi nationals so far that's been washington's only punitive measure claims he does not want to risk thousands of jobs because of the incident they are vehemently denying. we have hundreds of thousands of jews. do people really want me to give up hundreds of thousands of jobs and frankly if we went by that we would be able to have anybody who's in our because look at what happens all

over the world meanwhile the turkish foreign minister has reacted to trump's words there saying not everything in this world should be about money he also reiterated calls for an unbiased investigation drug shortage was initially considered missing but saudi officials eventually admitted he had been killed in a claimed operation riyadh has denied any awareness of the planned killing and has launched an investigation charging eleven officials middle east analyst side nisar told us that trump is simply trying to protect u.s. interests. but trouble saying here is what is actually said behind closed doors every single time i don't think it's sitting well with a lot of birth is the only truth of their illusions of the clue that we all need an enemy and since you aren't so ready are arse and iran and israel that are asking the us is going to go against iraq we're going to do it all trumps president tom smile. you know on one hand that you may be actually trying to protect us interests

on the other hand if he sees us all of them are our compass going to move you 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. in other news tonight a deadly attacks have been carried out in pakistan at around the same time three gunmen tried to storm the chinese consulate in the southern city of karachi and during that incident two police officers and all three of the attackers were killed meanwhile twenty five people were also killed in a suicide bombing at a crowded festival market in the northwest of the country but there. are no no no no.

while the following video captured the moment the gunfire started in the chinese consulate in karachi. the presence of the pollution is going to forces very much remember around the germs consulate there were more of them were terrorists who are the ugly chinese going. good road. hazard a very gov boost there was an earth drug reaction by a box of which border forces most of the government's rich are probably people where they have been only are all sort of poor for suggesting that probably some of the members of the security forces are alterable guilty look studio while all members of the johnny gosch loot will be run member's bill all three of. whom are at least twenty six people have been killed and around fifty wounded in a suicide blast today at

a mosque near an army base in afghanistan that's according to security officials all those killed are believed to have been working for the national security forces the attack comes three days after another suicide bombing at a gathering of religious scholars which left dozens dead. the wife of a british academic who was jailed for life by a united arab emirates court on spying charges for finally intervening that's after five months of appealing to the government and your list of charges says that london's inaction was caused by a fear of upsetting its trading partner a was under the impression that they were putting their interests with figure of a british citizens. right for freedom but in a hearing without a lawyer matthew hedges he was sentenced to life in prison on wednesday accused of spying for the ready spent five months in solitary confinement is a ph d. student who went to the u.a.e.

to research the twenty eleven arab spring uprising. darby says it hopes to find a solution to this 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 oil rich gulf ally when hedges was first incarcerated in abu dhabi the u.k. government was trying to arrange new trade deals with the u.a.e. and sense the chilcot reports. 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 are raising it with the emeralds your 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. this long term cooperation and being worth more than ruffling feathers over the feet of once it is a problem for trees and government is that they're talking at the moment recently briggs's of 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 outside 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 their supply of the 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 bronze statues to nigeria but only temporarily care now looks at

how a growing number of ownership disputes could actually seen use eans lose their treasures . 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 to the british museum has all the courtesy 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 you two hundred in peace to use your skills so once and we can hope 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 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 they're what

a great question of the world would just be talking about to speak it's been very very scrupulous. so you would put a bill to which a group of their little stuff would be lost because of. the other countries that have to shoot up to assure that we we we feel like we want it back where you 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 war but would never bring it to those who wouldn't see it would we do what i mean yes 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 it weren't gets everything back up as well as a lot of it would be better 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 large swathes of their collections in a bit of an awkward position. where you are reporting there now an illegal first for the us a judge has declared as unconstitutional

a law banning the practice of circumcision known as female genital mutilation the judge said. that the power to outlaw f.p.m. was down to individual states and not congress and he dismissed to some of the charges against eight people including two doctors for conducting the procedure on under-age girls 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 considers a violation of human rights we put the issue for debate and got opinions 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 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 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. just on a quarter past six here in moscow still to come this hour angela merkel defends a u.n. migration deal and rejects nationalism in its purest form i have a look at that in more detail just after.

future historians may look back at donald trump's handling of the murder of the show as a case study of the lack of leadership and outright folly his reasons for giving the saudis or rather the crown prince simply don't make sense why because it's all about iraq. you know world big partisan lot and conspiracies it's time to wake up to dig deeper to get the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each

other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. welcome back now tourists in the capital 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 french and italian and their leaflets include tips on how to avoid becoming a victim of crime currently there are some sixteen and a half thousand officers in the area but the force does say needs another two thousand more police personnel and their supporters to took to the streets back in october protesting against the cattle and interior minister.

thank you i. i i i was. was officials say that the crime writer skyrocketed nineteen percent on last year to levels not seen since the eighty's however some torsen local residents do think that the situation isn't that bad and i. hate it if i'm not secure like this but i'm getting such a big margin so now my company started by trying to other parts of the world and it

feels pretty sexy that's all the place in the world you never get every day in your present time i just tell people to. be careful and don't keep their bibles in their pockets as if you know i haven't come across anything the should make me feel uncomfortable and safe. 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. the german chancellor angela merkel has defended a controversial un agreement on migration accusing its opponents of nationalism some have linked her remarks to to a recent statement by the american president who said that he considered considers himself a nationalist the u.s. is among a number of nations who projected the un deal as pressure all of the reports. in public the relationship between the white house and europe's two leading powers is perfect of course sometimes all quids occasionally very awkward. i think.

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 who 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 a treaty is that echoes a similar sentiment from president mccrone but beetroot ism is the exact opposite of nationalism nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism by pursuing our own interests first with no regard to august 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 the e.u. arming those feelings coach both ways the recent poll of germans found that they feel to get knighted states is a bigger risk to world security than terrorism while eight to 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 a. well we spoke with a former deputy defense chief of germany about the differences in opinion between european leaders and pushing. german. president. german chancellor angela merkel. and. the beginning of suppose that. she is leaning to the obama clinton mccain. this is saying was as are your neighbors we have. to. create a first between president. and you will be in conflict who are linked

to the united states not only by the need to all. of. which. some monolith see as a goal. so that brings you up to date for the sabbaths how things are looking here or not today we're back again as usual can just type a hofner. tracking gave americans a lot of new job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money i could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year gross truck so i chose to drive truck people rush to a small town in north dakota was an unemployment rate of zero percent just like the gold rush is very very similar to

a gold rush but this beautiful story ended with pollution and devastation a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here and just slow down so much they lost their jobs that laid off the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. and it's a tough reality and your. child's seemed wrong when all rolls just don't hold. any new beliefs yet to shape out this day become advocates and in gains from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground. i've been saying the numbers mean something they've matter us is over one trillion

dollars in debt more than ten point zero or foreign tempi each dish. eighty five percent of global wealth you long for the old from rich point six percent. markets saw a 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 business showed you know ford to miss the one and only. when the make this manufacture come sentenced to the public wells. when the ruling classes have protect themselves. when the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent of. the time

we can all middle of the room signals. the real news is. nobody could see coming that false confessions would be that prevalent in this particular show from full coverage if you look at any interrogation out there what you'll see is 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 all the crime.

tax rises financial. stacy. fill out let's say i'm not sure. of the fight. thank you for. the story that's right. i.

was. following welcome to crossfire. considered i'm peter lavelle future historians may look back at donald trump's handling of the murder of john as a case study of the lack of leadership and outright folly his reasons for giving the saudis or rather the crown prince simply don't make sense why because it's all about iran.

and saudi arabia i'm joined by my guest with the into around he's a professor of political science at the university of tehran in london we have jonathan steele he's an international affairs com. tator and in leeds we have seen shah he he is a senior lecturer in middle east politics at the university of bradford all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciated jonathan let me go to you first in london how do you react to the liberal media's treatment of donald trump these of his statements regarding the crown prince the murder of the show and yemen and i guess also iran go ahead jonathan weldon tracking him for not doing enough to cut relations with saudi arabia or in some way to punish the crown prince mohammed bin solomon for his apparent involvement in this a turn of the affair but i mean there's an element of hypocrisy because the u.s.

is hundred with saudi arabia for years and they've done some terrible things the fact is the whole.
