10:03 am
hopefully get a cease fire and give us something that we have diplomatically been striving for for months and we think we're right on the cusp of that we were fuelling the bombers that the saudis sent in to yemen and of course the vote comes amid only over the killing of jamal khashoggi the dissident journalist murdered last month inside the saudi consulate in istanbul artes and you're a cheater has more on the divisions in washington over the saudi yemen conflict. the u.s. senate versus the white house twenty ninth of november twenty eighth the motion should the u.s. support the war in yemen to any human being the logical answer would surely be no never mind waging a war on a country that has according to the u.n. claimed over six thousand eight hundred lives so far with many organizations putting that number far higher it seems that support for this conflict in the very country supplying a huge volume of arms to the saudis the u.s.

of course is becoming increasingly split but the trouble administration continues to defend its involvement in the yemen war the suffering in yemen grieves me but if the united states of america was not involved in yemen it would be a hell of a lot worse let's remind ourselves of what is going on on the ground in yemen before we continue thousands of deaths including children and that's not to mention the worst ever cholera outbreak and millions of people under the risk of starvation saudi's reasoning is that they're only targeting the rebels which they view to be terrorists but what about the collateral damage and the dire humanitarian situation on the ground in yemen has been steadily worsening since the war began three years ago so what has prompted the senate to vote for such a resolution just now well part of the reason is obviously scandal and innocent journalists critical of the saudi crown prince being killed in

a society embassy in turkey followed by weeks of denial numerous versions of what might have happened and finally a lucid admission that premeditated murder was indeed at play we know. that he. was involved not. any one of you know all smoking do you believe i've read every piece of intelligence about him in the last few hours i think i read it all there is no direct report. connecting the ground brace to the order of the birds of all the ships and it certainly appears that political tolerance is waning somewhat with individual starting to speak out the latest example being and name state department official according to reuters airing his frustrations at the latest letter of offer and acceptance between the scientists and the americans on a fifteen billion dollars worth of a missile defense system here's trump's justification saudi arabia's been

a great ally but what happened is not acceptable but i would prefer that we don't use. a hundred ten billion dollars worth of work they are ordering military equipment everybody in the world one of that order russia wanted it china wanted it we wanted it we got it and we are all of it every bit of it i don't like stopping massive amounts of money that's being poured into our country spending one hundred ten billion dollars on military what the. things that create jobs like jobs and others for this country trauma's message is loud and clear on the matter this ng the american economy is a priority so in other words what's all the fuss about the day or two to r.t. . it's another headline stories this hour are spates of crime spawning decades involving dozens of people in the english town of rougher i'm

seeing one child rape victim step forward years later now she is the mom doing the u.k. change its law after the man who assaulted her was told he could be granted access to her soul was born as a result of the ordeal. the story is about. the man not really to me and not in council and if not don't mind being used to be enough to buy ransom council to apply. and print. it's an unusual case getting quite a bit of traction here in the u.k. a victim of child sexual exploitation has waived her on an image and come forward demanding a change in legislation following revelations that a man who had raped her as a teenager as a result of which she became pregnant and had a child was approached by a local council to basically see if this man wanted to be part of the child's life to be in a restroom absolute disgust and it's so horrible i think it is this goes i can say
10:08 am
just disgusting discussed in the police should be frightened to death to do anything in the past and are still doing it now hopefully incredulous the father they can just think it's acceptable to approach a convicted rapist and ask if he will be going to access to a child a man in question was put behind bars two years ago which is serve a thirty five year sentence for multiple sexual offenses against nine girls in the area including that's woman sammy woodhouse who'd rather in council invited him to potentially seek visits with the child the man did not go for this offer and did not seek such an application however this still triggered a push for a change in legislation this is what local m.p. had to say on the matter appalling example of the law being set up either to favor the puppetry or to actively walk against the rights of abuse survivors and the
10:09 am
consideration they should be afforded the ministry of justice is currently investigating whether this took place due to an error or whether there is potentially a wider problem behind this we have also heard from the council who said that they were basically just following guidelines so there's a lot of questions to be addressed in this area yet again with this story now coming to the forefront you know a lot of reaction coming in this grooming company are we got her reaction sir are made she's of the view the rights of the victims simply huffed to come first. interests of the child is paramount the case is centering around the child a visitation of the child in the best interest of the child that child doesn't need to know who that person was who did that to his mom father or not what happened to this woman is all full awful awful and women do survive rape because that's what they are they are survivors of rape we can't talk about you know if we do need to
10:10 am
lift the lid on it i mean examine what happened you have to look at the bigger picture it is still happening we do need prosecutions we do need parents to speak up and say yes our daughter was a victim in the english community the english families they will go and they will see prosecution and but within the asian community where it does happen and he's still rife there groomers are protected by the own community because they are chained by are nourished and stigmas so that's why there prosecutions are there lessons have been learned but they are not being acted upon. over the years russian media r.t. and in particular have repeatedly been branded by their critics in america under elsewhere as. news that's being spread by russia which is heavily supported by. funded by the russian the russian government fake
10:11 am
news has dominated the true had lines fake news spread by russia kremlin spread misleading or otherwise fake news and so on but in a notable shift in tone a former undersecretary for u.s. homeland security notices r.t. does tell the truth but it wasn't completely complimentary. r.t. russia today has a weekly program called america's lawyer. the relenting theme of which to quote one of the openings is america's justice system is corrupt and broken i don't think there's anything in there that is a law i but it is i'm relenting only one sided for you if you knew how to look at the other side you would see that russia at least is weighing in on both sides they're not on your side they're not on the other side they're on their own side it is too weak us. to be or to america program mentioned there reacted by accusing spalding of trying to cover up her own failures media legal analyst lund also use
10:12 am
shedding light on america's problems maybe bum for the government but not so much for the people. the truth hurts the truth can be problematic don't be so truthful r t don't be so truthful or could you be a little bit more positive in the truth this is a dramatic difference from fake imaginary on real untrue fictional fictive are synthetic that was the old story now it's your own true. could you be a little less truthful could you could you could you perhaps baby spread the truth around a drug matic improvement in my humble opinion it can not harm the united states but it can devastate the government it can devastate aspects
10:13 am
agencies law enforcement judicial system politicians presidents to congress all of the truth kid be horrible the truth especially if it exposes corruption oh absolutely but does it hurt america america can never. run on a return to our top story now because we've got live reaction to all that we've been talking of course but the the u.s. senate and the white house really locking horns over america's support for saudi arabia and what is happening in yemen senators are now demanding the government and military aid to riyadh over the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi over all the reasons as well that happened back in october let's get the thoughts now of adel darwish a journalist middle east come to unfriend of the program good to see you again and tell the us has supported saudi arabia since the beginning of the conflict in yemen back in in twenty fifteen in the time we've seen thousands of deaths millions
10:14 am
displaced eccentric do you think the senate is really against supporting riyadh only because there are figuring this out now why is it only happening. i think you have to see it within the internal politics it's what you have the part of the american establishment and who started gong to president. himself if you'll be following that promise to question just that day and several questions in the house of commons here you have seen also members of both sides rigging the same issue about saudi arabia now this arms be used now as you saw the president obama but i think we have to be seeing that within the internal struggle inside that medical mystery genre rather it is sort of alignment that i just meant of american foreign policy i don't think foreign policy change i don't think they're going to cancel the contract well just how important is what is happening now is
10:15 am
the standoff between the u.s. senate and the white house who who wins this bottle or very yemen if trump decides to continue to plow on what he's doing can the senate actually have a say in this. well of course there's a sort of can have a say and it can the can of the medical institution and blogs. gone through art but i'm usually we have the president. of america coming out when you ask about human rights abuse ask about. a way to stall a civil war going on and yet he just said i'm not going to sacrifice a billion and exactly fifty billion they want to look. which is unusual because he's not a usual politician because he's a businessman and you have the business. would go for the pressure they don't want to do these contracts let me throw another aspect into this away from the economy
10:16 am
u.s. states pompei i would say is that without american involvement in the conflict the situation in yemen would be worse high for a comment as. i don't think so i think the money going back even before the adventure and if the after the gulf war and the ninety's we have seen that ward off the unification of the war which is the south want to split from the north of yemen this has been an ongoing problem when by so much the sixty's when the egyptian the muslim. so i'm afraid this is one of the parts of the less you really really have a comprehensive solution you have sort of. a total overhaul of the whole of. these tribal being and now we have seen external intervention from other countries around yemen is that drives you the ongoing adel thank you so much for your time this are
10:17 am

10:23 am
stationed in crimea over the last several years and no surprise really given that what's happening on the other side of the border on the other side of the crimean border that the ukrainian military mobilize that isn't a state of high alert and anything the russians believe could be expected especially after what they call this provoke of act that happened on sunday where three ukrainian naval vessels when did that russian territorial waters without filing any notification something that they had done previously the russians believe this was ordered by the government in ukraine for political reasons because of elections that are just four months away since then martial law has been established in many regions of ukraine and while some ukrainians prove others at all happy about it now members of my sister was in the market for you are getting complacent mr johnston just remember just you know we're going to do it but
10:24 am
you know you know when you're the most beautiful. beautiful but you can bet all the boys see him but it would. be unusual you suppose it's the way you want to be good but you could are you going to new mosque and i will tell you what you do but you. just. don't know how. much as you're. going to go. nevertheless this deployment of four hundred missiles is a serious move it is babs. a message to the ukrainians that russia is willing and able to defend its territory irregardless of what incidents may come up next as for ukraine kiev claims it warned russia about the presence of its vessels in the area and they called the seizure of its ships an act of aggression ukraine is

the man being the immediate release of twenty four crew members who are serving a two month pretrial detention in russia. the former head of britain's armed forces say yes the country needs to rediscover the mentality that helped to win the cold war and deal effectively with emerging threats like russia and iran but what do londoners actually think. is so they'll change this is no question that more takes. a most hard times are saying you don't want any mentality like that and accept it. and if you believe in it i wouldn't pass rushers the hooks. really wouldn't i mean i. assume some if things are. it's you know it to. your question what i'm saying is they presume this is going to go to pushing additional military spending you know the remarks that they're speaking about it came after a report by a london based time which suggests that the new unit should be created to assess
10:26 am
and then the capabilities while also looking at the british military's ability to respond that would be similar to a u.s. structure at back in the one nine hundred seventy s. that existed at the height of the cold war journalist john white thinks it's all a diversionary tactic. this is redolent of up there to shoot political establishment that is in deep and unremitting crisis over the kyocera towers wrote but it's misguided l'engle breaks it. but more importantly all the social pressures that are drawn over its implementation overstated t. over the last three years it's the north and detest waste of british taxpayers' money at that time as a statement so many people the fifth of the entire population are suffering grim poverty and their own up to christmas this is a ruling class that is holding on to the past like me don't leave mine alone to a life raft because that is only have in order to sustain your position there are
10:27 am
always enemies to be by questions and countries too recently in russia is a traditional enemy of the british ruling class that it is by no means the traditional enemy of the british people did it to be at the very people who were telling them that russia should be the enemy it's a pact to the rafters cali's a report next from the sweet spot for russian oil producers to venice well as battle with the bank of england over a gold stay with art international. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it means to live the death penalty just because i think that's a fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one
10:28 am
convict just innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people was terrifying who's just moved to the present and that we're even many of the times families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victim's families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way.
10:29 am
kalu i'm asked cons are and this is the kaiser report let's talk with stacey max i have one headline from financial times and two from wall street journal those are international financial news headlines and these are showing you a story by juxtaposing these headlines and tell you a story that we have been telling you for several years now does the juxtaposition yes that's a great way to tell a story right the story that has been sold to many americans is that we america are the number one or oil producer in the world that is true that we're producing a great deal of oil a lot of it due to fracking so that's all well and good but none of those headlines in the mainstream media outside the financial press tells americans at what cost so
10:30 am
i want to show you just the headlines and some quotes actually from the headlines to tell you the difference why america russia saudi arabia they all three are the largest producers of oil in the world and the difference in the call aust of production so this is from financial times and by the way it's from the pedestal times before the recent seven percent and six percent all the crashes coming russian oil groups hit sweet spot as profits surge companies awash with cash but falling crude price means good times may not last so russian oil companies have rarely had it so good rising oil prices coupled with the weakening ruble have sent profits for export are surging above forecasts quote they are russian oil and gas companies are having an absolutely fabulous year said alexei boll chicago general director of citi group global markets they earn more per barrel than they did even during one hundred dollars a barrel oil prices these guys have exorbitant profitability that's right because
