to really address tensions with taiwan initially you wouldn't be mistaken to think that a peaceful solution was on its way after seventy years of strained relations between the two sides but then came the mixed messaging surely used to fight chinese we're willing to strive for the prospect of peaceful reunification with the utmost sincerity and the greatest efforts because peaceful reunification is in the best interests of the comparator it's across the street and the chinese nation but we may no promise to renounce the use of force what started off as an olive branch quickly turned into a thorny bush if we judge taiwan's angry reaction. or taiwan will definitely not accept one country two systems china has to respect the twenty three million taiwanese peoples persistence on freedom and democracy instead of interfering with taiwan's choice of democracy or polarizing taiwan society and

luring talents if we take a step back into time it was a civil war during the late one nine hundred forty seven the political status of taiwan that caused the split in china the peoples of both sides of the same ethnicity speak the same language but are ruled by two separate governments in china's eyes taiwan is a breakaway province and consequently because of their refusal to accept its independence the hundred ten mile wide taiwan strait remains one of the most heavily militarized flashpoint in the world to add fuel to china's fire it seems the u.s. is backing taiwan by not only signing a bill back in september twenty approving three hundred thirty million dollars worth of arms sales but on the thirty first of december trump signed a pro taiwan asia reassurance initiative act into law promising increased support in the entire pacific region including arms sales for u.s. allies like taiwan as well as others it's not the first time china has aired its

anger and they're certainly not holding back at the u.s. this time. we follow the trail of weapons by the united states to taiwan is a serious violation of international law and the basic principles of international relations sanction for the relevant acts seriously violates the one china principle and grossly interferes in china's internal affairs strongly dissatisfied and opposed to the us insisting on signing used into law and we have made some complaints with the u.s. china would ideally like the u.s. does not sell arms to taiwan lower the level of diplomatic support because it believes in that in those circumstances that the taiwanese would be more forthcoming in taking a more constructive attitude in deepening relations with beijing the threat that the u.s. sees is primarily in the maritime tear tour as the chinese navy becomes more

modernized and is able to push the u.s. navy back and create turn. and. bubble in spur free and now looks like peace and harmony won't be reached as easily as china wishes with taiwan making it clear that they're not likely to back down and the u.s. showing their obvious support for taiwan and all the international community can do is hope that a compromise will come to fruition and this war of words will and the david souter r.t. . wide groups have his house and netflix pulling material critical of saudi arabia that's when the stories coming your way after the break. join me every thursday on the alex i'm i'm sure i'll be speaking to yes of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you there.

welcome back to. as the u.s. government's partial shutdown goes into a twelfth day donald trump is calling for talks on border security with congressional leaders of both parties but it's many fear the political gridlock will continue with democrats for fusing to fund a key trump campaign pledge buzzing a wall on the border with mexico caleb maupin reports we're twelve days into the u.s. federal government being shut down and at this point there doesn't appear to be any end to this crisis in sight now donald trump indicating that you're sticking to his guns ahead of a meeting with congressional representatives donald trump indicated he is not going to back down on his call for a five billion dollars for a broader security where in a shutdown because democrats refuse to fund the border security the shutdown is

really is an extremist policy designed to appeal to an extremist base and hold the whole country high. now nancy pelosi was expected to be elected as the new speaker of the u.s. house of representatives doesn't seem willing to negotiate with donald trump he reached out on social media saying he would be open to some kind of compromise but nancy pelosi didn't seem to be having any of it this is their social media exchange . to secure. and shut down when he wants to start a speech let's make a deal donald trump has given democrats agree to pretty to show how to govern responsibly and quickly pass our planned two and they're responsible trump chad down to is the first sign of things to come in our new democratic majority committed to working for the people now beyond congress at this point federal employees are getting frustrated many of the federal employees who have to keep working because their jobs are considered essential are now working without

a paycheck they are continuing to go to work do things like air traffic control border patrol the prison guards and federal prison they have to keep doing their job even though they're not actually getting a paycheck now one union representing federal employees is actually taking that issue to court this is a representative of the union that is suing the federal government over nonpayment our members put their lives on the line to keep our country safe requiring them to work without pay is nothing short of inhumane beyond federal employees there is also a problem of garbage that is piling up at us national parks the garbage is not being collected as the federal maintenance workers are not working as the federal government remains shut down the restrooms are not being cleaned and human waste is also piling up in the restrooms at u.s. national parks beyond that the federal bureau of indian affairs that provide services to native americans is shut down so many native americans are not receiving services like education health care as well as the maintenance of tribal facilities due to the federal government being shut down now in the early hours of

the year we actually saw the u.s. border patrol shooting tear gas. over the u.s. border they claimed that one hundred fifty migrants from central america were actually trying to breach the border fence so at this point there doesn't appear to be an end to the crisis in sight. archie new york that's a cabinet meeting president trying to spade a post on the table inspired by the t.v. series game of thrones and he uses a photo of the phrase sanctions are coming and it's not the first time this post appears in the trump tweeted it head of reinstating sanctions on iran lifted the international nuclear deal that the u.s. has since the bones of these during the cabinet meeting the president didn't touch upon and why he had the poster on display who did he refer to any sanctions. human rights watch has lashed out at netflix for scrambling to remove an episode of

a comedy show criticizing saudi arabia after the country complains the patriot slams the crown prince's role in the death of jamal khashoggi the saudi dissident and washington post columnist was brutally murdered in the consulate in take three months ago mohammed's bill. denies responsibility for the killing patriots acts host hassan so a types riyadh's three year bombing campaign in yemen. saudi arabia has been repeatedly accused of violating international law and their campaign that has claimed thousands of civilian lives the u.n. warns that the kingdom is targeting civilians something that riyadh denies yes despite the scale of yemen's humanitarian catastrophe it's apparently gotten this less attention than the minutes of one journalist. explains. the killing of jamal has shot jeep. a media firestorm televised crusade by

journalists pundits columnists week after month journalists democracy. the disappearance of washington post contributor if you want into a building a never came out of the building the murder happened because shogi had died here is building any us response should henge on what murder at the saudi consulate they missed almost overnight the saudi government was made up. out cussed directly accused of killing of the cruelly one man saudi government denies it's complicit saying it was done by elements and suddenly suddenly everyone remembers the war in yemen beginning to catch on to the nature of this regime likely they are not telling us the truth about what happened. why would we believe them to.

intentionally hitting civilians inside this really needs to alter our relationship we need to bring an end to the conflict in yemen make no mistake what's happening in yemen is. one of the worst humanitarian crises currently happening in the world. it could be that the media the bulk of it now realizes how awful things are in yemen or it could be that they using it for different ends president from taking a stunningly dismissive tone about any possible saudi leadership role why he's going so far out this way to cover for the country. specifically the ruler that carried out this killing for president trump it doesn't seem to matter whether the

facts support what the saudis say the thing is of course yemen has been a growing graveyard for over three years three long bloodstained years and the pundits the politicians by and large have ignored that case in point according to a media watchdog america's m.s.n. b c news channel did one single segment on the war in yemen in the course of a year by comparison and they said be see ed four hundred and fifty five segments on stormy daniels porn actress who claims to have slept with donald trump before he became president four hundred fifty five and one on yemen but now things have changed ashaji changed everything saudi arabia's former supporters are jumping ship i changed my mind because i'm pissed at the way the administration has handled the

saudi arabia and is just not acceptable interesting isn't it how the death of one man sparked immediate global outrage and indignation at the deaths of thousands and thousands in yemen and saudi arabia's hand drew only murmured concern. so real time updates tend to get to follow us on facebook or twitter our programs continue in just a female mints. no

you didn't. really. seem wrong. when all the rules just don't. let you get to shape our just come out ahead and in detroit because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. nobody could see coming that false confessions would keep that profile in the spot placed before the converts. had any interrogations 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 therefore it's. sad i stayed there i would be home by that time the next day there's a culture and accountability and police officers know that they can engage in misconduct that has nothing to do with all the crime. they're bracing for a single purpose. of a superman. training very young. eight months of intensive school. rats. and they save lives.
