2:02 pm
sidelines of the g twenty gathering along with the health think the summit also came into the spotlight and now the president's interpreters who were at one of the meetings could reportedly be made to testify before congress ickes more pin has details. well there's just been a real escalation of heated words between us president donald trump and the media in a recent speech donald trump blasted the media for their recent reports alleging russia collusion and such this is the us president talking about the press i never worked for russia and you know that answer better than anybody i never worked for russia not only did i never work for russia i think it's a disgrace that you even asked that question because it's a whole big fat hoax exist now there's been an avalanche of anti trump claims in the press over the past few days that we've seen allegations that trump was possibly a an agent of the kremlin and so much of a kremlin agent of the f.b.i.
2:03 pm
couldn't even deal with him we've seen allegations that trump has concealed the record of his meeting with russian president vladimir putin and prevented that record from being out there we've seen a guy do his impeachment a kind of a roadmap for removing him from office that's been published in addition to all of that we have seen the revelation of a previously unreported f.b.i. investigation into u.s. president donald trump and alleged ties to russia and we've also seen a previously on reported in an revealed fight that took place or disagreement i guess you could say between james komi the former f.b.i. director and u.s. president now that that disagreement between comey and trump has been made public we've heard trump come out and basically explain that he lost faith in the f.b.i. as a result of their behavior during this probe into his alleged ties to russia this is what trump had to say so the people doing that investigation were people that have
2:04 pm
been caught that are known stone tools there in may i guess you could say dirty cops so when you say should i have confidence in the f.b.i. our intelligence agencies when i see more and i see all of these people when i see lisa and her lover and there's no. yes. you see what they said about me having nothing to do with investigation now relations between us president trump and the media have never been good but in the wave of many unsubstantiated allegations that have been published in the last few days things have certainly ask elated author and russia analyst not a macauley thinks that there could be hidden reasons behind the allegations of trump russia collusion from louis point of view he had to come up with the worst possible another says. and then he's got to back it up because. how does he back it up because not all conversations of leaders with other leaders is transcripted or
2:05 pm
actually is in fact recorded so therefore it's quite possible that putin said various things to him and he said various things to put to him which are private and possibly should remain private but probably point of view of the broken government all they can say is that trump when he's president he is president and he has every right to conduct conversations with another president limited and it's up to them to decide what they're going to do and each one will be attempting to achieve maximum advantage for his side. this all comes of in america's longest ever government shut down over the standoff on funding the president's border while some americans are starting to feel the impact as well for example u.s. air traffic controllers they are among those who've been working for twenty four days now without pay a canadian colleagues though have taken sympathy and ordered them hundreds of

2:11 pm
parliament will vote on whether to support a reason mase draft bragg's it deal and just a few hours ago prime minister made her final statement to the house she urged pains to give the deal their backing her words however when met with resistance and skepticism. no more playing for time no more running down the clock to scare people into backing this damaging shambles of a deal the only people who are undermining faith in our democracy is the government itself. it's korea it's a prime minister's deal is rejected tomorrow it's time for a general election it's time to bring new government. and here with the details of tuesday's vote is honesty a check. decisions decisions decisions it's an did make or break time for the british prime minister and despite the fact that we've said this
2:12 pm
a handful of times before she somehow always seems to manage to get through a crisis however this time is indeed extremely crucial in terms of what is going to be happening with practice that next and what we have is on tuesday the house of commons will come forward to vote on the deal to rescind may has been able to negotiate with the european union throughout the last two years really and if you remember this is a deal that was already previously postponed for to receive me to try to avoid a defeat in parliament and despite days of now heated debate and parliament yet again this is a deal that's clearly gotten quite a thrashing at the house of commons and really very few people expected to be able to go through parliament to morrow nonetheless to recently continues to be persistent that her deal is the best deal possible for the u.k. and she's been saying that the alternatives really would be a new deal bracks as she says would be destructive for the country or even more
2:13 pm
likely according to her is no bracks it at all and something that would be dependent on how parliament exactly decides to stir things forward and theresa may has been making a final plea with the british people and really m.p.'s as well to try to convince them to support her deal yet again let's take a listen to that so i say should members on all sides of this house whatever you may have previously concluded over these next twenty four hours give this deal a second look no it is not perfect and yes it is a compromise. we should to deliver for the british people. with building a brighter future for our country. and this statement about how. well there's a handful of options really in terms of where things could. go from here if this deal is rejected tomorrow and that would be things like the extension of article
2:14 pm
fifty that would obviously delay the deadline for the u.k. to leave the e.u. things like the general election have been discussed mostly by the leader of the opposition labor party things like a potential second referendum have been thrown around here in westminster so all of those things are possible next developments but really depending on how things are going to go in parliament tomorrow so that's the crucial vote and that's what we'll be watching recently is appearing there later again today to present an exchange with brussels that she has had providing as she believes extra assurances for m.p.'s to vote for her deal whether or not this is going to be enough and whatever she has to say to them is likely to stir any opinions in her favor remains to be seen so all eyes are on the parliament here in the u.k. in the days to come. the u.s. ambassador to germany has sent warnings to german companies reminding them about
2:15 pm
significant sanctions for any firms involved in building the north stream to gas pipeline with russia about projects currently one third complete richard grenell sent letters to several companies. as you're aware the united states strongly opposes north stream to the pipeline poses serious geopolitical consequences to our european allies and partners we continue to stress that firms operating in the russian energy export pipeline sector are engaging in activities that carry significant sanctions risk. u.s.m.c. later clarified that the letters weren't a threat but rather a statement of u.s. policy is a well that hasn't stopped a number of german politicians from venting their anger. at the us ambassador seems to give the impression he's the viceroy of the washington emperor the us ambassador using direct threats towards german companies is a new and i'm acceptable strengthening of tone in the transatlantic relationship which the federal government should protest against the matter of european energy
2:16 pm
policy must be decided in europe not in the u.s. . the twelve hundred kilometer pipeline is a joint project between russia's gazprom and five western companies germany has the lead role is predicted to cost nine and a half billion euros the puntland supposed to double capacity by the baltic sea is sure to come into operation by the end of the year geo political analyst pierre emmanuel to man believes that america's pushing approach could backfire. the united states has to go. behind due pressure of it to turn european union energy companies first of all the united states would like to sell their own shaded guts and in competition we have a russian gas the second objective of the united states has always been to were control eurasia and to prevent europe to be too close to russia of a more united states put pressure on europeans the mall there is
2:17 pm
a risk that the europeans try to detach themselves from the u.s. and try to make it better deal we've russia we cannot abandoned. import of russian gals of east ruby issue economics reciting saw the americans or so is it really meet new wii or pressure capacity. by calling a visiting japanese delegation friends the russian foreign. this is effectively told them to forget about claims to the caribbean islands follows talks with japan's top diplomat on a peace agreement which has never been signed because of the dispute over the territory surprisingly the u.s. and china made their way into the discussion to the trick as. it was the first round of intensified talks on a peace agreement between japan and russia ordered by the leaders it hasn't been ever since the days of world war two and the number one stumbling blog has been
2:18 pm
japan's claims of ownership to a group of tiny islands in a rather unusual twist to this monday afternoon sergey lavrov and his japanese guests decided to talk to the journalists alone separately and in quite a tough manner mr allowed made it clear that japanese officials should forget the idea of questioning russian sovereignty over the islands if they want to get the peace agreement talks go on. this is a basic position and in progress on other issues is very difficult without a step in the right direction to do that tension obama france from japan to the fact that the issues of sovereignty over the islands are not discussed this is the territory of the russian federation just a little later the japanese top diplomat said that despite the differences the two sides must find common ground so the moscow summit and the ministers appearance was
2:19 pm
meant to be all of moscow and tokyo's attempts to fix everything and sort their issues out but the u.s. and china and it up being mentioned too that's all because just a little earlier the japanese prime minister's aides said that america should be looking to the appearance of the signatures for that peace agreement because according to him that would help stem the tide of china. in the region mr lavrov called that statement outrageous and went on to say that he warned the japanese delegation that moscow's absolutely not a fan of the idea of america developing its missile systems in japan according to serve the larger of that would hurt russia and china as well that's how china was mentioned twice the. concerns are increasing over a new israeli road it segregates israeli and palestinian drivers israel's
2:20 pm
transportation minister says that it will make jerusalem stronger the critics say it only deepens divisions on reports from both sides of the highway. welcome to the latest controversy here in the west bank behind me is a newly inaugurated five kilometer stretch of road with a physical barrier by government up with one thing now this barrier stipulate israeli and palestinian drivers it's going to take a drive. this is the israeli side of the road it connects to loosen them with the settlements so most of the drivers here are citizen now the only palestinians who are allowed on this side of the road all those who have special interest permits for jerusalem i'm filming with a palestinian cameraman and he has to carry his permit with him all the time in case we get stopped its claim is that this new barrier strengthens the connection between the settlements and jerusalem and also helps ease traffic they do believe
2:21 pm
that primarily it's to further separate and dominate kind of jerusalem to make it more accessible easy access to those living in the settlements so they can get to jerusalem faster we need to find a way that both sides can use the same streets even lee it's not fair it's not ok for. the group to be like that to me to be some figures we've had to travel quite a distance to do we used to turn and we're now coming back down the same road we were driving along the earlier just in the opposite direction so all the drivers you see here are palestinian they have no permits to enter jerusalem and for their this wall is nothing short of blatant discrimination they call it the apartheid or . the israelis open this new road is a main route for the palestinians to connect the northwest current to the east and
2:22 pm
west and because they want to control the old route which connects the moller to me not to settlements but the jordan valley seconds that's a lot of this road doesn't help without this people as the. israeli government. want to close down a lot more street in the future and make it only for the israeli it took more than ten years for this road to open because of a dispute between israeli police and army over who would control a checkpoint here and there are other divided roads in the west bank but none of them have a war separating the two sides the road to resolving divisions here just got longer forty three hour west bank. has ripped in south africa the local health department reportedly told white doctors not to apply for a number of new positions and the document shows the department aiming to heart four hundred sixty six black doctors star gets also include thirty two indian twelve white and four mixed race professionals. we are unapologetic about
2:23 pm
addressing these imbalances of the past south africa including. remains an unequal society with limited opportunities to self development those who historically oppressed. the political party the democratic alliance expressed outrage over that policy they claimed that the health department is acting racist and going it's constitutional values. white people coming to make up around just nine percent of south africa's population we spoke to guess with different views on the race divisions in the country. this is not the first example of hiring policies being discriminatory particularly against white people and i would say that it is racist but i wouldn't say that it's surprising and that's why and i cannot remember because in south africa we know that you are coming from and called the up out of the way. you get more people that use them to play that doctors will reject. the
2:24 pm
priorities was given to the white people unfortunately that legacy is still continuing the government is more willing to work with companies and is willing to tax them less if they hire more black people and if there are more black people who own shares in the company yes while there are. advantage at vantage why people who do have money from either success recently or success from that's carried over from before the change of government this doesn't change the fact that this is not a fair policy and white people are having all this luxury just privileges that i changed from the previous government but date but instead of trying to lend a. hand in hand with their counterparts they see themselves. as the black people that they are the elite group they control the governments they control the business they control the education our black people seek our lives people are poor
2:25 pm
and white doctors immigrating only to either countries once they've got treated they don't watch to or to our. guys in black township. so that. a lot of white doctors who have worked in these poor rural areas they have not been able to to do business with the majority because the majority is interested in black doctors but the majority is not interested in becoming doctors they are more interested on living off of government benefits and not working hard enough to have doctors from their own communities. a video of canadian authorities taking a newborn baby girl from the arms of a crying mother has sparked outrage when you may find these scenes coming up disturbing. are you going to comply we're going to physically remove i don't want.
2:26 pm
you to work on the steps. in the video policeman explained that the baby is being taken into care the woman had been accused of being drunk when she arrived at the hospital to give birth but according to the family's lawyer a doctor said she wasn't intoxicated the lawyer also said the authorities have demanded the family remove the video from the internet as it might hamper their case in getting the baby back. breaking an indigenous childbirth from her mother's arms by the state again this is not just part of canada's history it's today's leave reality we're failing in break unseemly ation on every front imaginable when it comes to discriminatory treatment of indigenous people the united states and
2:27 pm
canada follow the same ill principles the mother was already seeking help from manitoba child and family services than they took a baby with scant reason stupid move because other women will get the picture and not seek help racists. anymore the canadian child services authority claims that the right decision was made despite the fact around eleven thousand children are currently in care in manitoba province where the incident occurred and nearly ninety percent of them are indigenous and cuban indigenous activists lorelei williams thinks that this practice is due to the residential school system. pre-match there at the end it's going to have been a q. and a in the very beginning when they got her rank made it a right to take a shower and they were in a residential well how are. you know when you have the police who are taking you know each other and there are remember in his residential well rather church where
2:28 pm
they didn't retort to. being used for child labor you know you have all the help back. you know but rather have the workers already are that will to try to get children back that they are no way to children are taken and that. kind of housing. that howard has you know no other children and then i still lose their income if you know. there should basically down to two hundred dollars their writing or two hundred dollars in writing trying to get her children back. if there's no mission like our. british army's reportedly being forced to climb down following a revolt by a male soldiers according to reports in the u.k. press a female recruit was given a pass despite failing a key fitness test for an elite unit there abandon our ability to complete grueling military operations in order to fall into line with political correctness or accept
2:29 pm
that there were some things females cannot do biologically if stand is a modified to accommodate women this would be awfully misguided all the test requires a thirteen kilometer march soldiers have to carry a heavy backpack and a rifle of arduous terrain they must do it within two hours the rules state failed to do so resulting automatic disqualification from the rest of the course former i.d.f. combat soldier tommy gottlieb says it's wrong to ignore the physical differences between men and women. i think that we have to understand that there are some physical differences between men and women and we can't. disregard them we have to look at them and the knowledge of them and only by not enjoying them we can involve women into different army units and putting them in key roles in the army there are physical differences between men and women and putting i think is the truth
2:30 pm
that putting women into into these army units are important because the army can only gain from it you gain compassion you gain a different kind of dialect you gain a lot of different things and the physical aspect is a very important one but if you're talking about an elite unit you can take women that are elite in their physical abilities but even a woman that is elite in our physical is the best of the best in our physical ability will not come to be close to the man that is the fastest or best in his abilities. that brings you right up to meet hoffa now for the latest. join me every focused on the al aqsa.
