you know. he was.

imposed after the killing of. the. systems no longer be able to. solve. a lot of money. the second biggest. billion dollars worth of weapons have been sold by the. twenty fifteen. 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 because shorty has been tortured beaten tortured killed and then dismembered was murdered in the saudi consulate it was looted to his death and then 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 on its own germany really 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.

government. that could explain why the u.k. government has been trying to get by and to change its mind that fast daunce 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 talk exact at you guessed it be a and he's not the only example of the revolving door connecting downing street and be headquarters at one point this is how the former foreign secretary described their relationship the chairman of be a appeared 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 and bring about peace in yemen but so far talk of bombing peace into yemen isn't changing the germans minds behind. 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 a new to the government in this advertising that in the west means that you face and reminding the hundreds and i better leave your last day to and from all of them and every single day of the fourth of the. u.k.

defense say this story. when it comes to the ongoing saudi war on yemen riyadh now says it's investigating the latest reports of civilian casualties smith of the campaign against trade believes that the pressure on germany will only increase. well the german government will be coming under a lot of international pressure from all of the meet your arms companies and germany but also from say a dictatorship from the u.k. and france who also produce parts of the unified jets which german components are used in because the arms industry is an industry companies from across the world were with each other hand in hand in glove with one another to produce these where the german government is doing very well to stick to its word i mean these are still should never have in the first place germany should not have been arming the seiji regime but if they took precedence by ending the arms sales and it's

a precedent which a lot of other countries can learn from. us act charged with staging a hate crime against himself has been released on bail just a small it had claimed he was assaulted by two men with one of them shouting this is my country america being the acronym for donald trump slogan make america great again authorities in chicago have charged mr small out with filing a false police report claiming his motive was to advance his career 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 and smaller legal teams calling the situation an organized spectacle. and has details. 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 poured bleach on him put a noose around his neck called him anti gay and anti black slurs and told him this

is maggot country maggot being short for make america great again slogan to man were later arrested by the police and then released and now small what is the one in handcuffs he is charged with for long as disorderly conduct for making a false police report. why would anyone especially 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 well we have a media that's saying it's a debate whether or not what has happened in just the small it is a hate crime it's absurd. isn't it like really tired out. this is how you have to be five bills and possible to not feel this way right now with yeah president and the vice president mike pence who 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 i won't trump and i go lunatics to burn in hell 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 love for just c. and his entire family i will continue to hope for the best for everyone volved 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 trouble 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 and disrespecting an elderly native american veteran it is to serving students mocking native american man and some of them harassing 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 trump may have introduced the term but it seems that fake news has never been more real caleb oppen r.t. new york. legal and media analyst lionel things stories like this reveal are all the wiring trying. 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

idiocy and sadness it's a wonderful kind of a 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 whether you 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 making the statement about homophobia even though the growth of a man of the case is based upon falsity fiction synthetic truth

what a country. u.s. president donald trump has praised five g.e. and even nonexistent six g. wireless technology in a tweet and called for it to be developed in the u.s. it comes after months of u.s. pressure on chinese communications from weiwei over alleged spying capabilities i want five g. and even six g. technology in the united states as soon as possible is for more powerful more stone 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 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 u.s. started piling the pressure on while away saying that it posed a threat to national security now the chinese tech giant rejects u.s.

claims that its products are being 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. network so under pressure australia new zealand and japan have already brought in restrictions against weiwei but a growing chorus of countries including france and the u.k. are challenging the u.s. on this point while wades founder meanwhile says he's actually grateful to america for helping to make more people aware of its products. first of all i would like to thank them because they are great figures five g. was not known by common people but now these great figures are all talking about five g. and we're becoming more influential in getting more contracts. the u.s. is just panicked about the technological advancements of 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 is just and evidence of a kind of a panic i think it's interesting that this tweet 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 and there are so many stories still coming your way here on the program on including scuffles in venezuela and as opposition convoy tries to collect banned u.s. aid waiting at the border we'll give you a lot on that in just a moment. we

will not be judged by what it is that we inherited we will be judged by what we give to watch it and 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 clueless dugongs eat out 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 thing major it.

up. on. the list on. my side as it is it is. money and. so there are a lot of bills a lot. i mean and to him a mind and efficient. elaine nine. o'clock o'clock in the lead up to the guy who. put the money out of the money i don't i don't want to. you know how to win the war and you know.

this i will. join us today for your friday stories the tensions are high in venezuela over the standoff with the u.s. aid to the country's security forces clashed with the opposition heading to the border with colombia on its way to collect stockpiled u.s. supplies locals help the opposition buses with some scuffles breaking out. back to opposition leader one quite. a deadline for a delivery exactly a month since he proclaimed himself the country's leader 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 all aid from the european union is most welcome. the venezuelan

government accepts the humanitarian. from the european union nations system to venezuela. one has issued what he calls his first presidential decree authorizing humanitarian aid deliveries to venezuela he plans to get that into the country with the help of citizens at the opposition leader says nothing will stop him from completing his mission. we do not rule out anything when it comes to letting humanitarian aid into the country opposition leaders say they plan to bring aid into venezuela from colombia. brazil and that prompted nicolas maduro to consider a closure of one of the country's borders he already stopped traffic with brazil and with three dr islands in the northern caribbean and then early february caracas a barricade today opened before border bridge with colombia meanwhile the venezuelan opposition's envoy to washington said that all ages venezuelan and

consular offices in america are no longer functional when giving the speech carlos vecchio was confronted by yes. 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 a media benjamin from the code pink movement she says the opposition is knowingly stoking tensions along 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 couldn't 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 in pakistan and so it was done in response to possible aggression or misadventure by india the latest flare up in tensions was caused by a terror attack in part of the disputed kashmir region last thursday a suicide bomber killed more than forty indian paramilitary offices in the pakistan based terrorist group jayashri mohammad says it was behind i time. now the terror

attack was strongly condemned by western leaders referring to india and pakistan trump said it would be wonderful if they got along seems more or less unlikely at the moment though india has lately developed a bit of an independent streak there when it does come to ties with washington as honey society 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 the two countries can act as a bulwark for freedom prosperity and peace we do just that has never been stronger has never been better maybe stronger than ever but is this love reciprocated if you love is in the form of trade india isn't in any hurry to let any deal slip away to appease the superpower take them this way where the u.s. has to close the current government illegitimates since the us blocked him ports of

venezuela's oil india step tend to take up some of the slack with this own imports aging by sixty six percent. we are selling more than three hundred thousand barrels per day to india and by is we want to double that amount that's in spite of the harsh rhetoric from the us foreign policy adviser who warns those who supports venezuela's resource says will not be forgotten but there is something india certainly hasn't forgotten about that says u.s. waiver from iran sanctions allowing the country to continue importing iranian oil against the u.s. attempts to pressure to iran's biggest source of income and india doesn't want it to stop we are talking to the us an energy related aspects including the waiver from sanctions is a continuous process that also ten our attention to another targets 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 ways of

warning from donald trump that india will find. your seat sooner than you think while the more trouble may have been the one to declare the america first policy if he isn't the only one putting a nation's interests ahead of us the us is behaving extremely sense interested in self centered instead of selfish there. are more sense for us to be our first is more important we don't care for america first if there is a convergence between these two good and there's an i would. stick to india for us why should be so america first i think there are a lot of our insecurities all the liberal. internationalist america is not due to support our allies and to give them concessions and do or treat them favorably so this means that trying to be sure you know everybody has to pay money to you were see everybody has to buy u.s. products and all the demands making the unilateral. as well as on sanctions and

other issues i think is what we really need more countries in the us you are. don't we need the wood on the basis of these school shootings in the lenses but no you are trying to distribute uploading them it's completely you know. protesters in the spanish or city took over a subway station on thursday. i. the action was part of a one day strike in support of catalan separatist leaders currently on trial for their role in the twenty seventeen independence referendum the aim of the strike in which tens of thousands participated with a paralyzed transport system above ground people also blocked roads and chanted proconsul on slogans broad police eventually got involved using their batons against the crowd it's. just for this hour that the program running up while you
