11:01 am
a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our two h.q. in moscow thanks for joining us this hour. the hunger in government is claiming a suspected to haunt us and europe as a refugee and was given a prepaid debit card by the e.u. the blocks issued some sixty four thousand such cards to newcomers are peter all over has more. imagine a suspected islamic terrorist receiving aid money meant for refugees not just any terrorist acing eisel commander and not just any money a new tax payer money and it gets worse reports say that he received a monthly payment of five hundred euros on his debit card that's well over today's gross minimum wage in hungary these prepaid cards are issued to a joint project between the united nations and the european union that's supposed
11:02 am
to be a strict screening process in place to make sure that only those eligible have access to the funds but this wouldn't be the first time that a suspected terrorist hiding among refugees that inadvertently been given taxpayer money. the european commission insists that the prepaid debit cards are not just handed out to anyone that they know exactly who these cards are being distributed to and check up on their status on a monthly basis so hungry is wondering why did brussels not know that they were

funding a suspected terrorist this not only creates another pull factor it's also raises serious security concerns the citizens of europe have a right to know the problem of how to provide much needed funding and aid to refugees in europe isn't an easy one to solve but it's cases like these that fuel the popularity of anti immigration parties across the continent and with a new parliamentary elections coming up next month question is will the establishment. dealt another blow ups of the territory that so-called isis was holding it will generate more people trying to get in through and that's why very carefully orchestrated and internationally coordinated this is where international cooperation is key i think the threat for a period of time will grow because foreign fighters will start to come back but i think what we're seeing with. so-called isis and with al qaida is we're seeing

a time of transition they will transition into something different this is a very very dangerous and very difficult period we need to monitor the transition very closely to be able to identify and track. the sort of coming through to run intelligence operations to try to identify those unknown terrorists that are potentially coming into europe and elsewhere in the world. british foreign secretary jeremy hunt is under fire after reaching a deal with germany or the export of weapons components to saudi arabia like london has banned all arms sales to riyadh but a loophole was found to sell parts ultimately destined to the kingdom through the u.k. one of the reasons that arms sales to saudi arabia are controversial is its involvement in neighboring yemen.
11:05 am
the leader of the who of the rebels the u.k. foreign secretary cannot be both a peace broker and an arms sales. if it wasn't for the joint british us saudi in u.a.e. naval forces the existing famine and the tragic humanitarian situation wouldn't reach such critical levels the saudi led coalition backed by britain commits war crimes and does not abide by as britain claims the most stringent guidelines for the export of weapons in the world and reports adding context to a tragic reality the u.k.'s man on sunday has reveals that at least five british special force commandos were wounded in gun battles as part of the secrets military
11:06 am
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 a relentlessly 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 in his forehead i'm here to express my outrage of the complicity of the british government of the war in yemen 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 or much 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
11:07 am
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 the 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 the conflicts we asked people here in london what they think about the crisis in yemen i'm very surprise. is that the troops are getting involved didn't know that typical of them to be say and. you know that there are kind of. trying to evade the many conflict there fueling the many conflicts so there is a bit of anybody personally no i don't think they should be doing that it should be . with you know internally but i also understand yemen is you know phenomenally complicated situation some people we asked were unsure about the u.k. six at mission in yemen but then on the air you want to ask the secretary of state
11:08 am
for defense what recent assessment he's made of the effectiveness of operations involving british forces in the yemen in the last six months. with civilians bearing the brunt of the crisis and millions on the brink of famine doubts is again being cast on the u.k.'s role and whether it's his party to the conflicts commission set the london. writer and commentator abdel bari atwan says the british public should be horrified. this is the first evidence that that's there are troops on the ground fighting alongside the saudi forces and the saudi backed militia and this lovely wall i believe it is it is and these are supposed to be honest for the british people to pay for this war to from their own pockets actually from their own taxes and finance war which is you know where a war crime is committed in yemen and to know about their players special forces
11:09 am
participating 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 peace or by war because there is a story made there so the provision government should actually use its knowledge to put pressure on saudi arabia in order to stop this war because the saudis sending their water plays there so they sent also personnel they composed a coalition and all of the five it's all hoping to win it and few weeks time but it's that i've gone for now four years if there's the fifty years is that it's weak . case daily mail says its report has prompted a u.n. investigation we've asked the un for comment. and the banks mean activists in the u.s. have suggested they're being persecuted like jews during the holocaust telling the

star of david to make their point that after unvaccinated children were banned from entering certain public places. how are we going to go if you're not back to how are we going to rescue. them we will do it the same way we did the last time so for you. bro this is it it jews it should be york right now then never thought this moment will come i am saying i stand with you. a polish holocaust museum has lashed out at the use of the star of david the symbol used to label jews during the holocaust museum accuse the activists a bit a little in one of the darkest pages of history instrumental lies in the feet of jews who are persecuted by hateful anti-semitic ideology and murdered in extermination camps like oh sure it's with poisonous gas in order to argue against vaccination that saves human lives is a symptom of intellectual and moral degeneration according to the us government

agency dealing with diseases in two thousand and eighteen the country suffered seventeen outbreaks of measles the cases were registered mainly among unvaccinated people in the orthodox jewish jewish community the number of cases this year is almost four hundred and is expected to rise it's a jewish community adviser says the way the star of david was used by the anti vaccine activists cheapened its meaning. util star for the jewish people is about remembrance for us you know it's to mark people because of where they are we paid the jewish people paid a terrible price because of the say you know star drew another jew you don't you have no right to use these symbols because you make them becoming part of political i would say game you make them becoming cheap. we cannot forget when children women and people were worrying what happened to them and what happened to

them to have this too has to be burns to be sent to a guest chambers so if people are doing so even druze they are doing it to build mistake for me to deliberate abuse and i think it's it's it's a view that should be punished by law. the british parliament has rejected all four motions put forward to resolve the brags that deadlock and peace held a second series of so-called indicative votes after the prime minister's e.u. withdrawal plan was resoundingly defeated with all plans failing to command a majority a new third round of votes has been proposed by opposition leader jeremy corbin. if it's good enough for the prime minister jobs three chances of the deal. then i suggest possibly the house should have a chance to consider again. the options that we had before us today i needed to buy on wednesday so that the house killing six c.
11:13 am
where the prime minister has value and presenting a credible they could all make relationship with europe for the future prevent just crashing out with no deal the prime minister's deal is it cost me refuses to compromise it is crystal clear to often stop moving our books suddenness times not disrespect to. m.p.'s debated on four issues staying in the single market seeking a customs union another referendum and potentially cancelling breaks it altogether if no deal is agreed upon none of them gained a clear majority and the deadline is just ten days away meanwhile the government is struggling to come up with a clear plan on how to leave the european union prime minister may now has to either seek a longer extension from the e.u. offering some sort of new plan of action or leave the e.u. without a deal by april the twelfth. or more thoughts on this i'm joined by robert
11:14 am
johns professor of politics at the university of essex thank you for joining us on the program so parliament won't pass teresa mayes brigs the deal but can't come up with an alternative that has the support of the house how we got into this point. where we're mainly at this point because of a refusal to compromise on a refusal to compromise on all of the what you might call the extreme saud's the hard core remain as still believe they can get away with remaining in the european union despite the referendum on the hardcore leave is still believe they can get away with a pretty hard form of brecht's it despite the fact that there's a clear majority in parliament against the. now we've just seen that two motions the customs union and holding a second referendum were rejected by a very narrow margin does this raise the hope that a solution could actually be found eventually. well it certainly raises hopes for those options and makes clear i think that they
11:15 am
are more popular with parliament than with the prime minister's deal the difficulty is in the parliamentary mechanics needed to do this palm and operates by these yes or no votes on a particular proposition and the difficulty they have is that whenever something like the customs union is put forward those people who would actually prefer to remain in the european union will not vote for it because they'll hang out for their particular option and vice versa so it's very difficult to build a parliamentary majority when there is more than two options in the fray the prime minister may's deal that's that's clearly there but there are these other things floating around until it's narrowed down to just one other alternative to the main deal parliament is not going to come up with that plausible alternatives so in your opinion what would be the best outcome for bracks that at this point. well i think that there is general agreement in and outside parliament that no deal
11:16 am
is not a good idea the record of this quite a bit of public support for no deal but not a majority and so i think an extension of some form is going to be necessary because we're just not reaching an agreement on the altar on the alternative to no deal and so more time is definitely needed leave it to the politicians decide what's the best long term outcome but i think an extension seems clearly desirable well you're talking about an extension but officials have said their patients is that it's limit what would brussels incentive if any be to extend the withdrawal period once more. well they don't have anything like a strong and strong as an incentive as the u.k. admittedly but there are interests in brussels in avoiding no deal. putting a brave face on that but there's no doubt that they would be worse off under no deal just not as much worse off as the u.k.
11:17 am
and so they do have this incentive they of course also have the incentive to make it look as if no deal is more likely because that's the threat that they wield but i think they would if we requested an extension with a clear sign of what we might do with it i think they would relent. robert jones professor in politics at the university of essex thank you so much for joining us on the program today. thanks for joining us this tuesday more of the latest news in just a minute. but holds a. meeting. he put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. will somehow want to be rich. but you're going to be close with what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm

welcome back to the program police in england and wales are being given more powers and a controversy scheme to combat a knife crime epidemic campaigners have called the move regressive and are concerned the powers could be abused but the home secretary says officers need protection to. the police are on the front line in the battle against serious violence on his voice so we give them the right tools to do their jobs. the so-called section sixty checks will be trialled in several hotspot areas officers will be able to search any person or vehicle without reasonable suspicion the 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 or former london police officer peter kirk m and social activist lead jasper

who is a former equality advisor to the mayor of london i'm afraid discrimination is a fact of life disproportionality and racial profiling. the culture of policing in large in the cities is nothing to say that if there is any disproportional scene there probably is some. it's due to the racism of police officers that an officer of the law without any reasonable cause. 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 getting stopped tonight tomorrow next week next month or maybe even next year is policing that's the only chance we've got of stopping knives that around the streets being used so i think a bit like the flat earth society people are just making stuff up to just defy their political position is very clear the prime minister has said that stop and
11:21 am
search is on just by 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 glasgow. 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 people to criminalize situation doesn't get any better. a federal judge in the u.s. state of north carolina has ruled schools policy unconstitutional after require

girls to wear skirts in a bid to promote traditional values the initial complaint from one of the peoples came in two thousand and sixteen when she argued that skirts limit girls physical activity the girl also claimed that wearing a skirt disrupt the learning process and make some girls feel uncomfortable her mother helped her bring public attention to the issue a process that ultimately led to the court ruling. all i wanted was for my daughter and every other girl at school to have the option to wear pants so she could play outside sit comfortably and stay warm in the winter we're happy to court agrees but it's disappointing that he took a court order to force the school to accept a simple fact that in two thousand and nineteen girls should have the choice to wear pants the judge ruled that the school's attempt to force girls to wear skirts violated the so-called equal protection clause noting that imposed a burden on girls but not poison the child's today school board is analyzing the opinion and will be meeting with council in the very near future to discuss their
11:23 am
options moving forward. we spoke to political activists kate's myrth weight 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 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 come along so discriminate street towards children who don't want to do that for whatever reason there are so many reasons why 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.

kaiser this is the kaiser report this is good h two o. . well you definitely need that here in malibu we're in malibu. it is actually a logger than i thought it would be. we're here with a nice breeze looking out against it you know i'm going to start with this 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 universal basic income idea as this is that the u.s. is hugely endowed with not only agricultural goods but a lot of silicon valley. exist purely through the goodwill of darpa and the defense department and all the investment in silicon valley and new ideas he says this idea is new to many americans but it is actually as old as the
