the border. into the country by.

international. and. to saudi arabia. that its main. systems may no longer be able to fulfill. worth a lot of money. the second biggest saudi arabia. over four billion dollars worth of weapons have been sold by the. twenty fifteen let's.

he 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 need to 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. south africa markel did this firstly were outraged by 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. has a contract to provide riyadh with forty eight new fighter jets but germany's refusal to make parts 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 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 at one point this is how the former foreign secretary describe 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 our. strategic relationship that the u.k.

has with saudi arabia is what allows us to have a huge influence and bring about peace in the 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 an aid to the government in this advertising that in me taking place and reminding the fund said that it was a positive one from column that every single day of the fourth of the u.k. defense industry. when it comes to the ongoing saudi war in yemen to riyadh now says it's investigating the latest reports of civilian casualties smith of the campaign against arms trade believes that the pressure on germany will only increase all the german government will be coming under

a lot of international pressure from all of the major arms companies in germany but also from the saudi dictatorship and from the u.k. and france who also produce parts of the you know fighter jets which german components are used in because the arms industry is a global industry companies from across the world work with each other hand in hand in hand hundred glove with one another to produce these weapons with german government is doing very well to stick to its word i mean these arms still should never have been allayed in the first place germany should not have been arming the seiji regime but has said if i took precedence by ending the arms sales and it's a precedent which a lot of other countries can learn from. us. 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 my career of course being the acronym for donald trump slogan make

america great again authorities in chicago have charged mr small it with filing a false police report claiming his motive was to advance his career police say the actor even wrote a check for thirty five hundred dollars to two men to stage the attack he's also said to have fabricated a hate letter to himself a small it's legal teams calling the situation an organized spectacle that's got some real details on this his aussie correspondent caleb martin. 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 mag being short for make america great again don trump 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 lonnie is 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. isn't it mike really have to take this so you have to be fired you know isn't 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 our wont trump and lunatics to. homophobia existed. for 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 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 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 disturbing students mocking a native american man 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 huge and we plan to mount a vigorous defense may have introduced the term but it seems that fake news has never been more real caleb oppen r.t. new york. media analyst lionel thinks stories like this one reveal of why worrying trend. this is the most amazing case as you can tell by my excitement and that for a vast sense 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 make of the statement about homophobia even though the group of amun of the case is based upon falsity. synthetic truth what. u.s. president donald trump has praised five. nonexistence sixty wireless technology in a tweet and called for it to be developed in the united states it comes after months of u.s. pressure on chinese communications for way 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 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 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 so just a couple of months later washington started piling the pressure on weiwei saying it posed a threat to national security or 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 the white house is also urging international allies to ban while away from their five g. networks so the likes of 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 washington on this point while ways founder meanwhile says he's actually grateful to the u.s. for helping to make more people aware of his 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 contrarily up to now the u.s. is just panicked about the technological advancements of china i mean what's really been happening over the last. ten years izzie us has in fact fallen behind many parts of the rest of the world technologically and the attack on weiwei is just evidence of a kind of a panic therefore gets 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. donald trump has branded democrat socialist bernie sanders crazy after the seventy seven year old and out is better for the twenty twenty presidential race trump also urged his supporters to dig deeper into their wallets than fans of sanders. crazy bernie has just entered the race i wish him well what's crazy is that we have a president who is a racist a sick system as xenophobe and a fraud. socialist bernie sanders raced six million in twenty four hours now i'm calling on you to crush that number he's scared and he should be help us send trump a message in a language he's sure to understand make a ten dollar donation to our campaign today. trump has made a point of taking a swipe at socialism but some of his policies look

a lot like what he's actually attack. america will never be a socialist country. action will help americans tradition from welfare to gainful employment this is becoming more and more like a soviet type of the condo me here common sense deciding who is going to be granted wave is the most hours in the administration figuring out how they're going to sprinkle around. this will be a big week for infrastructure after so stupidly spending seven trillion in the middle east it is now time to start investing in our country.

protectionism government persian supplanting the role in terry transactions of markets and the allocation of wealth and opportunity is socialism for the well connected. we spoke with a solomonic committee young from the your world news radio show who says trump's anti socialist stance simply amounts to political posturing. dollars i was it is a hypocrite i mean he he is i mean he is a devout capitalists capitalists of the of the worst kind you see right now he's bringing in the war drums to go into predominately socialist country venezuela and so you know no doubt you serve their mineral resources primarily that the vast oil reserves they have more people and it's a good thing more people are starting to become more educated for a long time the word socialism that the term was was tantamount to saying people you know saw socialism as the devil itself that you know so he's speaking to constituents that that he believes are dumbed down that he's holding our dumbed

down better when there is hope and continue to be dumbed down and he's speaking to them and throwing out these test phrases. so scuffles in venezuela as an opposition convoy tries to collect the band u.s. aid waiting at the board have more on that and your other friday mix of stories just. when you put your consent to public will. when the ruling class is a project. with the flaming. lips.

colombia on its way to collect stockpiled u.s. supplies locals helped the opposition buses to pos with some scuffles breaking out a u.s. backed opposition leader. a deadline for a delivery exactly a month since he proclaimed himself the country's official leader elected president the venezuelan president nicolas maduro has banned u.s. aid branding it a ploy to force him out of power however he has announced that any old aid from the european union is most welcome. now one quite zero has issued what he calls his first presidential decree authorizing humanitarian aid deliveries to venezuela he plans to get it into the country with the help of caravans of citizens of the opposition leader says nothing will stop him from completing his mission. the venezuelan government accepts the offer of humanitarian technically says he's from the european union to the united nations

system to venezuela welcome 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 and brazil that prompted nicolas maduro to consider a closure of one of the country's borders you're already stopped traffic with brazil and with three dutch islands in the olden caribbean and in early february caracas barricaded a never open before border bridge with colombia well meanwhile the venezuelan opposition's envoy to washington d.c. said that all eight venezuelan consular officers in america are no longer functional when giving the speech. was confronted by antiwar activists. i want to say these people are a fraud they don't represent the men 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 or the woman in the video was medea benjamin from the code pink movement she says the opposition is knowingly stoking tensions at 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 pakistan says it was done in response to a possible aggression or misadventure by india the latest flare up in tensions was caused by a terror attack and paul was part of the disputed kashmir region last thursday a suicide bomber killed more than forty indian paramilitary offices the pakistan based terrorist group a mohammad says it was behind the attack but the terror attack was strongly condemned by western leaders referring to india and pakistan trump said it would be wonderful wonderful if they could get along but that seems a bit high. likely at the moment though india has likely developed a bit of an independent streak when it comes to ties with the us as r.t. is funny sure southie explains. trump's always ready to embrace india be its politically or traditionally head case 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 and we do it through a storm 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 illegitimate since the us blocked him ports of venezuela's oil india step tend to take up some of the slack with his own imports aging by sixty six percent we are selling malls and three hundred thousand barrels per day indian boy is 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 found this way his resources will not be forgotten but there is something india certainly

hasn't forgotten about that is his 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 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 refused to back down from multi-billion dollar deal for ass four hundred ad defense missiles ignoring was of warning from donald trump that india will find. you'll see sooner than you think walt more trump may have been the one to decry the america faced policy is kind. he isn't the only one putting the nation's interests ahead of us the us is behaving extremely sense interested in self centered self selfish then we have got to take care of all since india first is more important we don't care for america first if

there is a convergence between these two good and pretty there's unable to even stick to india for why should be so america first i think there are a lot of uncertainties all of the liberal. internationalist america is not good to support allies and to give them concessions and all our treat them favorably so all this mean added to the showing where you know everybody has to pay money to the us everybody has to buy only u.s. products and on the demand he's making the unilateral demands. as well as on sanctions and other issues i think is going to lead more countries to the us you don't we need the world on the basis of these coolish and alliances but now our trump is no longer interested in not pulling them it's completely unilateral. protesters and the spanish sit here barcelona took over a subway station on first day.
