because of. this. this is not. just that he was a. border

. into the country. with. a. story. imposed after the killing of journalist. systems may no longer be able to fulfill contracts with the saudis. components made . a lot of money. the second biggest. billion dollars worth of weapons have been sold by the. twenty fifth and let's have a good look now. on this story. the

u.k. is not impressed with germany's decision to stop selling weapons to saudi arabia i'm very concerned about the impact of the german government's decision on the british and european defense industry and the consequences for europe's ability to fulfill its commitments up until recently last november to be precise germany did sell weapons to saudi arabia but then this happened shortly has been tortured beaten tortured killed and then dismembered was murdered in the saudi consulate it was looted to his death and this didn't help either.

sorry akka markel did this firstly we're outreach bring this case i agree with all those who say that arms experts which are already limited must not take place in a current circumstances bonnets are in germany early provides about two percent of the total arms purchased by saudi arabia that's a drop in the ocean but crucially germany also makes components that are essential to other countries arms exports for example british arms. it has a contract to provide riyadh with forty eight new fighter jets but germany's refusal to make cars that are destined for saudi arabia is affecting be a ability to deliver those planes to riyadh on time the issue of german licenses is a political issue and as such requires it to be resolved at

a political level to that and we're working closely with the u.k. go. that could explain why the u.k. government has been trying to get in to change its mind at first glance be a looks like your normal footsie one hundred multinational but you don't become the largest defense contractor in europe without a few friends in high places take for example the former british ambassador to saudi arabia he's now a top leagues that at you guessed it be a and he's not the only example of the revolving door connecting downing street and be a headquarters at one point this is how the former foreign secretary described their relationship the chairman of being a appear to have the key to the golden door to number ten certainly i never knew number ten to come up with any decision we should be incommoded to be but that was ten years ago although some things never change philip may the husband of u.k.

prime minister to resign works for a company that's the largest shareholder in be a systems. we try and provide our people our government our allies with the very best weapons the very best sticks they can have to encourage peace sound familiar that strategic relationship that the u.k. has with saudi arabia is what allows us to have a huge influence in bringing about peace in yemen but so far talk of bombing peace into yemen isn't changing the germans minds the height of the border this week you'll miss the the position of the german government is that we're not currently delivering weapons to saudi arabia and future decisions on this will depend on developments in the yemen conflict one illustration of just how the place to be aid to the government in this advertising that in the west means they can face and reminding the country and of that believe it was hostage to and from on them that

every single day of the fourth of the u.k. defense industry. when it comes to the ongoing saudi war on yemen riyadh now says it's investigating the latest reports of civilian casualties earlier we spoke to a bell body of one from what i owed you i'm an arab news and opinion website here is how he sees the situation. i believe british government is putting money deals and business ahead of mortality here i'm surprised there mr huhne foreign minister of britain putting this pressure in germany i would have went and to do it in the brics it talks we know that next month britain will leave european union completely and it shouldn't actually put pressure on them and counterpart and all that to you know less this embargo against that country as i said you know launching a war against the poorest country on the whole world i believe germany actually is

sitting at a good example to all european community to european states actually to united say the self to the why because saudi arabia is committing that up by two cities and there are many years of war and the west supplying it with weapons and ammunition and all that to carry on this war. u.s. actor charged with staging a hate crime against himself has been released on bail just a small claim that he was assaulted by two men with one of them shouting this is my country my god being the acronym for trumps slogan make america great again authorities in chicago have charged mr small head with filing a false police report claiming his motive was to advance his career the police say the actor wrote a check for thirty five hundred dollars to two men to stage the attack is also said

to have fabricated a hate letter to himself mr small that's legal teams calling the situation an organized spectacle. and has the latest. just the small lead story seems to be falling to pieces and claimed he was the victim of a hate crime two men had grabbed him board bleach on him put a noose around his neck called him anti gay and anti black slurs and told him this is maggot country mag being short for make america great again doll slogan two men were later arrested by the police and then released and now small what is the one in handcuffs he is charged with loneliness disorderly conduct for making a false police report why would anyone is specially an african-american man use the symbolism of a noose to make false accusations in the immediate aftermath of the incident there was an outpouring of love and sympathy for a small way we have a media that's saying it's

a debate whether or not what just happened in just the small it is a hate crime it's absurd there isn't a debate. about. this so you have to be fired you know isn't possible to not feel this way right now with yeah the president and the vice president might cancel like wishes i couldn't be merry if let's just be clear heartbroken and furious reading about the attack on just the small it's our wont and lunatics to. homophobia existed before trump but there's no question that since he's injected his hatred into the american bloodstream we are less decent less human and less loving no intolerance no d.t. saying that even though the incident may have been staged it still started a conversation and that it's important i've been vocal about the situation and my life for just c. and his entire family i will continue to hope for the best for everyone involved as things continue to unfold what small that did was wrong but the big problem isn't

the point two percent which are hoaxes it's the hate crimes which have risen twenty percent since trump took office trump spoke up on twitter saying that millions of his supporters were needlessly slandered just the smell that was about monica and the tens of millions of people you insulted with your racist and dangerous comments people are drawing parallels with a similar case we had a group of catholic high school boys who were shown in a video purportedly insulting in disrespecting an elderly native american veteran it is disturbing students mocking native american man some of them arresting and jeering at a native american disturbing viral video however media revealed that there was actually quite a bit more to the story than this short snapshot and at this point the boy is suing the washington post saying that his reputation has been destroyed however the washington post says it's prepared to give a vigorous defense we are reviewing a copy of the last you'd and we plan to mount

a vigorous defense may have introduced the term but it seems that fake news has never been more real. r.t. new york. media analyst lionel thing stories like this one reveal a very wide worrying trend. this is the most amazing case as you can tell by my excitement and effervescence aside from being one of the most hilarious cases of of idiocy and sadness it's a wonderful kind of us of story line on the mainstream media how they don't let the facts get in the way of a story our mainstream media will create something where they have done something or not if you do something in your lie we overlook it if you don't do anything they all lie and create a situation even though you've done nothing we don't have the facts we make them up

like the mainstream media news do as well it's about a narrative the facts and the truth have nothing to do with it get with it what you want take somebody who is an obvious defendant turn him into a hero make of the statement about homophobia even though the group of amun of the case is based upon falsity fiction synthetic truth what a country. u.s. president donald trump has praised five g. and even nonexistence six g. wireless technology in a tweet and call for it to be rolled out in the u.s. it comes after months of u.s. pressure on chinese communications from while away over alleged spying capabilities . i want five g. and even six g. technology in the united states the soonest possible is for more powerful more stuff and smarter than the current standard. i want the united states to win

through competition not by block you know it's currently more advanced technologies first of all i would like to thank them because they are great figures five g. was not known by common people but now at least great figures are all talking about five g. and we're becoming more influential in getting more contracts. in a presidential memorandum from october twenty eighth seen it stated that it is imperative that the u.s. become the global leader in five g. technologies and then just a couple of months later the us started piling the pressure on while away saying it posed a threat to us what national security so the chinese tech giant rejects all of these u.s. claims that its products could be used by beijing for spying in december while ways chief financial officer was arrested in canada on washington's request of the white house is also urging international allies to ban while away from their five g. networks so under pressure australia new zealand and japan have already brought in

restrictions against the but a growing chorus of countries including france and the u.k. are challenging washington on this point and jeffrey tucker from the american institute for economic research says trump's latest comments bode well for us china trade talks. up to now the u.s. is just panicked about the technological advancement so china i mean what's really been happening over the last ten years is the u.s. has in fact fallen behind many parts of the rest of the world technologically and the attack on the way it's just been evidence of a kind of a panic and i think it's interesting that this comes at the same time as a little bit of reduced pressure on the u.s. trying to trade talks it's very possible we're going to we're going to see an agreement so scuffles in venezuela as an opposition convoy tries to collect a band u.s. aid waiting at the border we'll give you a much more on that in just

a minute. bankers survival guide stacey just to start. get it. back to. oh. this is a repatriation look at the rest seventy years. military guys report. we will not be judged by what it is. we will be judged by what we give to our children we must accept responsibility to fix our nations and make sure that we fix them for the sake of the future let's stop looking behind us and believe in the the clue is gone we have we must have a new generation of people who will fix our countries for the rest of the future

and that's what it is the real wealth in nigeria. a program welcome to it tensions are high in venezuela over the standoff with the u.s. aid the country's security forces clashed with an opposition convoy heading to the border with colombia on its way to collect stockpiled u.s. supplies of locals help the opposition. breaking out u.s. backed opposition leader one. deadline for a deliveries exactly a month since he proclaimed himself the country's leader in time the elected venezuelan president nicolas maduro has banned u.s.

aid branding it a ploy to force him out of power however he did announce that any and all of the european union is most welcome to. the venezuelan government except the humanitarian technically from the european union to the united nations system to venezuela. one has issued what he calls his first presidential decree authorizing humanitarian aid deliveries to venezuela he plastic into the country with the help of caravans of citizens the opposition leader says nothing will stop him from completing his mission. at the moment we do not rule out anything when it comes to missing humanitarian aid into the country opposition leaders say they plan to bring aid into venezuela from colombia and brazil that prompted my daughter to consider a closure of one of the country's borders are you ready stop traffic with brazil and with three dutch islands in the northern caribbean and in early february caracas

a barricade today never open before border bridge with colombia meanwhile the venezuelan opposition's envoy to washington d.c. said that all eight venezuelan consular offices in america are no longer functional when giving the speech our last vecchio was confronted in washington by some antiwar activists. i want to say these people are frauds they don't represent them as well in people they are representing the u.s. orchestrated who this is a very dangerous situation they want to create a crisis at the border that would be a justification for u.s. intervention the woman in the video was medea benjamin from the code pink movement she says the opposition is knowingly stoking tensions on the border. i think it's a dangerous game that the opposition is playing they really are trying to create a confrontation if it was about humanitarian aid they could use the u.n. agencies and certainly there are lots of other ways to get

humanitarian aid into venezuela they are doing this purposely on the borders because they want to see a confrontation they want the. government to respond with violence so they can show the whole world and use that as a pretext to start the next phase of this which would be a military one so i think it really is the opposition that is playing this very dangerous game and using the aid as a prop in the air playbook. tensions between india and pakistan are heating up indian state media warning about pakistani military deployments to the two states kashmir border but pakistan says it was done in response to a possible to aggression or misadventure by india the latest flare up in tensions was caused by a terror attack and part of the disputed kashmir region last thursday

a suicide bomber killed more than forty indian paramilitary offices the pakistan based terrorist group mohammad says it was behind the attack now the terror attack was strongly condemned by western leaders referring to india and pakistan said it would be wonderful it wonderful if they got along a seems fairly unlikely at the moment and india has lately developed a bit of an independent streak when it comes to ties with washington as honey sure south now explains. trump's always ready to embrace india be its politically or traditionally headcase even thrown into volley bash at the white house in the past the relationship between our two countries can act as a bulwark for freedom prosperity and peace we do sincerely so that has never been stronger has no. ever been better maybe stronger than ever but is this love reciprocated if you love is in the form of trades india isn't in any hurry to let any deal slip away to appease the superpower take them this way where the us has to

close the current government illegitimate since the us blocked him ports of venezuela's oil india stepped in to take up some of the slack with his own imports aging by sixty six percent we are selling more than three hundred thousand barrels per day to indian buyers we want to double that amount that's in spite of the harsh rhetoric from the us foreign policy adviser who warned those who supports venezuela's resources will not be forgotten but there is something india certainly hasn't forgotten about that says he west waiver from iran sanctions allowing the country to continue importing iranian oil against the us attempts to pressure to iran's biggest source of income and india doesn't want it to stop we are talking to the us some energy related aspects including the waiver from sanctions is a continuous process that's also ten our attention to another target russian missiles time and time again indian authorities refuse to back down from

multi-billion dollar deal for ass four hundred ad offense myself ignoring was of warning from donald trump that india will find. your seat sooner than you think walt more trump may have been the one to decry the america first policy it's clear he isn't the only one putting the nation's interests ahead of us the us is behaving in extremely self interest so centered in some selfish. interest to get abortions for us to be our first is more important we don't care for america if there is a convergence between these two good. enough was one should be so i'm going to force. morris answered all the liberal. i hate you monica internationalist america is not data to support allies and to give them concessions and to treat them favorably so all this mean added to that probably showing that you know

everybody has to pay money to the us everybody has to buy only u.s. products and all the demands making the unit acronym aren't treated as well as on sanctions and other issues i think is what we really need more countries in the us used to dominate the world on the basis of these coalitions and alliances but now our trump is no longer interested in not putting them it's a completely unilateral. protesters and spanish said he took over ice subway station on thursday. i didn't. but the action was part of a one day strike in support of separatist leaders currently on trial for their role in the twenty seventeen independence referendum aboveground people also blocked roads and chanted pro-capital and slogans around to stop riot police engaged the demonstrators and dispersed the crowds. but there are some of your top stories for

this friday program here not international many more headlines still to come but the top of the hour i hope you can join us that. i have understood to still again interview alastair cook he is a former. and founder and director of conflicts for this time we will discuss the americas you know. one on one with legal expert alan dershowitz he's calling donald trump's emergency declaration on mistake we'll find out why on this edition.

of politicking on larry king alan dershowitz is no stranger to controversy lately he's taken much flak from his colleagues in the legal profession for nearly everyone who doesn't call themselves a conservative for his opinions on the russian probe adverse latest book the case against him teaching trump. but he's now calling donald trump's decision to declare a national emergency to fund his border wall along the u.s. southern border a mistake let's find out why as for fashion the shoe was joins us from his mission . alan is a constitutional scholar harvard law professor emeritus for we get to the emergency declaration on multiple news outlets are now reporting that robert malone would likely wrap book was investigation as early as next week what do you expect. well i expect it will be a very very critical report put together

a circumstantial case i don't think will be any smoking guns though you never know and i hope because i think this would be the only fair way that it be presented to the attorney general the attorney general then give it over to trump's legal team give them a week or ten days to file a reply and then release both the report and the reply at the same time so that the american public can read them both and judge for themselves which is more credible and which is more persuasive can model and can not indict himself can he can he can indict from well you can't i mean technically the grand the grand jury technically indicts but grand juries will indict a ham sandwich they're just you know twenty five chairs that are moved around by prosecutors prosecutors decide who the grand jury should indict moller is a prosecutor's a mole or can indict i don't think he can indict the president because i think the constitution precludes a sitting president from being indicted while in office he can be indicted after he

leaves office or if he's impeached. what will the public in your opinion get this report. yes i think that attorney general barr who is a really really good person and determined to do the right thing will eventually send the report to the public and to the congress perhaps with some redactions i hope very few i think the american public is entitled to see as much as possible consistent with natural national security concerns if you were donald trump would you be very worried. i would be worried politically i don't think i'd be worried legally though you never know you should always be worried being worried is a good thing it's prudent if you're a defense lawyer you're always worried and if you're a defendant you should be worried i don't think he's in legal jeopardy but i do think the report will be politically very critical and that won't be the right

thing to do you know prosecutors are not supposed to express political opinions nor are they supposed to express opinions on the goodness or badness of a defendant that was commies mistake when he went after hillary clinton after declaring that she had committed no crime he then said that in his opinion she had engaged in and then he described her conduct in very negative ways i don't think that a report should contain anything other than allegations either of criminal conduct or no criminal conduct i think that a pining on the virtue advice of a person is beyond the scope of the prosecutor specially since the prosecutor only hears one side of the story you have said that president trumps decision to declare a national emergency to build a wall and a mistake ok is there also a constitutional error. well it may be the constitution provides that all spending bills must originate in the house of representatives this is in some respects an end run around that calling it an emergency doesn't make it so an

emergency usually is something that has happened so suddenly like nine eleven or pearl harbor that congress may not have time to act in the president has to make a decision himself but here this is been a problem that we've suffered with for many many many years moreover congresses are already authorized over two billion dollars that he can start building the wall with so i don't see the emergency and i think at least some courts will say we don't see the emergency what the supreme court will decide nobody can tell because there are two new justices and some justices may say look we can't second guess a presidential declaration of emergency other judges will say no we have to look to see whether this is a circumvention of the constitutional provision that spending bills start in the house of representatives must be voted on by congress i don't think it's an emergency of congress says to the president no that's part of their constitutional authority that's part of our system of checks and balances if the supreme court let's say decides in trump's favor the next president could declare climate change

a national emergency health meshal emergency right he and presidents have you know look this all started with thomas jefferson when he bought louisiana the louisiana purchase without authorization from congress and a lot of people said my god the president has exceeded his authority lincoln suspended the writ of habeas corpus franklin delano roosevelt put one hundred ten thousand innocent japanese americans in detention centers truman seized the seal nels so we've had a lot of presidential expansion of power and i think it's only getting worse i don't think the framers had in mind expanding the presidential power in this way i think they really thought that the power to spend should be with the congress not with the president. did the president make a mistake when he said in making his announcement that he could do the wall over a longer period time i don't need to do this right now but i think i should hurry

it up doesn't that take away from your word emergency.
