special force commandos were wounded in gun battles as part of the secrets military campaign in north in yemen believed to be part of the special boat services said that they are now back in britain recovering to spark the controversy you case forces the religiously fighting alongside child soldiers here in the u.k. the news triggered protests and condemnation from an m.p. with the war in yemen already and it's here i'm here to express my outrage of the complicity of the british government of the war british soldiers were fighting alongside indentured schild soldiers who are forced to fight in the yemen this is a war crime this is a crime almost against humanity and britain has been complicit in it and we must say no more inside westminster the shadow foreign secretary is questioning the scope of britain's involvement if that is in any way true because if it is

then it will confirm the off forces are not just a party to this conflict but witnesses to war crimes when pressed on the issue mark fields from the u.k. foreign office said he would seek to get to the bottom of the allegations but khan's comment on the presence of u.k. soldiers on the ground as for the ministry of defense they apparently don't comment on the special forces but with a little sign of an answer to the conflicts we asked people here in london what they think about the crisis in yemen i'm very surprise. as that the troops are getting home and didn't know that typical of them to be saying. you know that they're kind of. trying to evade the many conflict if you're in any of any conflict with others or have any personally no i don't think they should be doing that it should be dealt with you know internally but i also understand yemen is a you know phenomena a complicated situation some people we asked well i'm sure about the you case exact

7:09 am
a war crime is committed in yemen and to know that they're there players special forces dissipating with the saudi who are very good at sort of who are actually the party which bombing hospitals schools i believe this war actually wouldn't be ended either by piece or by war because there is a stall made there so the previous government should actually use its knowledge to put pressure on saudi arabia in order to stop this war because the saudis centered their one place. so they said also. they composed a coalition and all of the five bits law hoping to win it in few weeks time but it's that i don't know four years is the fifty years and it's. the u.k.'s daily mail says its report has prompted a un investigation we've asked the un for comment.

the debates of our backs that have been pretty heated but some think that's not the hottest issue that needs addressing or rather under a saying. environmental activists wanted to draw attention to the naked truth of all were arrested over the starker stunt which was designed to impress upon m.p.'s and the public that there are more urgent matters even the rocks that. government troops protect but as well opposition leaders motorcade from an angry mob we have video of the incident after the. break. with this manufacture consent to the public will. when the right

a car making its way past the angry crowd and these are government meaning pro mentor of soldiers protecting it from being attacked journalist max blumenthal give us his thoughts on the video. it's ironic to see the government security forces actually protecting a figure who's calling for the government to be toppled and who's actually attempting to fragment the security services from within it's also ironic because we constantly hear about this way of some kind of ruthless communist dictatorship but here you have a situation that certainly would not be tolerated in the united states or other countries where someone who's leading a coup is protected by the security services of the government he's trying to take out what kind of dictatorship is this well apparently it's not a very effective one and what's happening here is really interesting as an alibi this is where nicolas maduro his base is this is where his son actually lives why is quite over there why is he in a government stronghold because the u.s.

wants him to get arrested to create a provocation that's why he's there. police in england and wales are being given more powers and a controversial scheme to combat a knife crime epidemic campaigners have called the move progressive and are concerned the power could be abused at the home secretary says officers need protection to. the police and on the front line in the box against serious violence on his voice will we give them the right tools to do that jumps. the so called section sixty checks will be trialled in several hotspots areas officers will be able to search any person or vehicle without reasonable suspicion a change comes after forty nine people were fatally stabbed this year alone families of victims have welcomed the move but say it should have happened earlier critics though say the powers give the police the opportunity to racially profile individuals. according to home office data there were almost forty thousand knife

crime offenses registered in england and wales last year discussing the problem on r.t. earlier former london police officer peter kirk him and social activists leave jasper is a former equality advisor to the mayor of london. i'm afraid discrimination is a fact of life disproportionality and racial profiling. of the culture of the policing in la gina cities is nothing to say that if they recently disproportionality in there probably is some. of the racism of police officers that an officer of the law with out any reasonable cools. can stop and detain you is a fundamental breach of civil liberties e-com do the public health approach without establishing place on the streets in the first place and the only way of doing that the only way of stopping someone going start tonight tomorrow next week next month maybe even next year is policing that's the only chance we've got of stopping noise
7:21 am
that around the streets being used so i think a bit like the flat earth society people are just making stuff up to just political position is very clear the prime minister has said that stop and search is on just looking to the police to sort it out and that's what they've always done in the past and the police have always had some contingency capacity in the past but that doesn't mean there's not a role for police in that absolutely isn't class go. to show. and stop wished peace on the streets for these are the things to take a chance of taking root and having the longer term effects but i think that partly politicians are under pressure because of the media reports of the horrific killings of young people in all sorts of age groups really who've lost their lives on the streets of london and we see this repetitive cycle of media commentary police on the pressure call for more powers more heavy enforcement approach more

violated the so-called equal protection clause noting that it imposed a burden on girls but not boys. the chance of a school board is amyloids in the opinion and will be meeting with council in the very near future to discuss their options moving forward we spoke to political activist kate's myrth wait she says gender linked uniforms are dated and it's high time for a change. what it reminds us is that what we should actually be doing is not waiting for parents to complain and start a lawsuit but legislating at national level to say you know well this is really important schools need to teach in a completely gender neutral way students should not be told what to wear or what classes to attend to what sports to play based on whether they're boys or girls it's so obvious that that school uniform needs to be something comfortable and practical and appropriate for the twenty first century and the idea that it's going to therefore have a boys' version of the girls personal come on so discriminatory towards children who don't want to do that for whatever reason there are so many reasons why
7:24 am
children might not want to wear the particular uniform that's been assigned to their gender it's not it's not the right step so i think it's great that we're moving away from it. the u.s. has frozen an arms contract with turkey in protest over and crows purchase a russian weaponry the pentagon says it's halting deliveries of equipment for f. thirty five stealth fighter jets which turkey is in the process of buying and washington is demanding that argerich cancel its purchase of the russian s four hundred anti-aircraft system turkey is one of washington's key ally. it's within nato and u.s. defense officials have said if turkey were to use the f. thirty five and the s. four hundred within the same integrated system would gain backdoor access to crucial intelligence. this comes at a difficult time for turkey's president and on sunday his party suffered a major blow at local elections losing control of major cities including the capital thousands of opposition party supporters have been out celebrating however

7:26 am
power and its influence in washington so i mean nato countries like turkey turn down or. using russian weapons is a very very bad precedent and they certainly don't want it to happen. that's a news wrap up for now but i'll be back at the top of the hour with the latest thanks for tuning in. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to the press the saliva before three in the morning can't be good . i'm interested always in the waters in the house. or city hall.

second headline here because andrew yang is in the news he's a local californian from silicon valley which i'm sure is definitely cold today unlike here in malibu but there's a headline universal basic income is not socialism he says and is good for markets twenty twenty democratic presidential candidate andrew yang was talking on c b s now he's an entrepreneur a c.e.o. a business guy from silicon valley and you know i'm still i think for our summer solutions series and kaiser report we will talk about this you'd be a universal basic income again totally convinced of the merits of it however he's kind of looking at a different way of the story and he's looking at it as similar to what happens in alaska so alaska has not through any great entrepreneurial or innovation but just through sheer luck they have a lot of oil that oil creates a lot of income that then gets shared among the population so he's looking at his
