u.k. prime minister begs europe for yet another delay to bragg's at this time until the end of june but some e.u. members say they're ready to take tough luck also to come the south. in the songs and supporters hold a vigil outside the doors today as. the council calls on libya's rival factions to avoid bloodshed as the commander from the east of the country advances his troops towards the capital tripoli.

great to have you with us this is. the u.k. prime minister's asked the european union for yet another briggs it delay after failing to get a withdrawal agreement through parliament the country is on course to crash out of the e.u. with no deal on april twelfth. reports from london. in fact it is june thirtieth that d.t. has asked for is in a letter sent to donald tusk however this if you remember is a date that was already rejected by the e.u. in the past and one of the big problems there are the european parliament elections that are set to take place on may twenty third so the idea of the e.u. really was that you either partake in the elections and stay in the european union or you don't partake in the european allies a parliament elections but you leave by then and now with theresa may asking for that extension she is reaching really for a final straws of what it is she thinks she could potentially offer to try to keep

this situation going because we know she does not support to the idea of leaving without a deal she wants to have an agreement when the u.k. leaves the european union so she has promise now and said in this letter that if by then the u.k. is still in the european union with this new extension the government is carrying out preparations for european parliament election participation now to be clear what this means is of course picking candidates running election campaigns and wasting probably considerable amounts of money especially if this does not end up anywhere and leads to nothing however she said that if agreement if an agreement is reached by then before those elections the u.k. will withdraw from the european union before and then council those participation in that parliament vote however obviously nobody knows what's going to happen because now it's up to the european union to say what they think on all this we is

the european union have said. once and there is no reason to further extend those the lines we hope london will provide more clarity before wednesday the ball is not here in the netherlands or in paris or berlin the ball really is in london another extension requires the u.k. to. put forward a plan with clear and credible political backing in the absence of such a plan we would have to acknowledge that the u.k. chose to leave the you in a disorderly manner but basically the position is for any extension they would need to have a clear plan about what it is that the u.k. wants to achieve in that extension and what the common approach is however obviously throughout this time there has been no common approach. professor of european law francesco there's a thought police to reason may is just buying time for her divorce deal. she's trying to buy a little bit more time i've read her letter to during our new sumption that she's

going to basically frighten her own backbenchers and particularly the argy hard core and the do you pay with labor labor is the fear factor so but my deal or else that that's what the game is because essentially the labor party and yes dahmus today has said well she hasn't budged she's simply clarifying what's already agreed and if you read the letter she insists on her withdrawal deal so i think that many people in the really crimes that have read this i think many of them are absolutely astonished that the british political establishment the british system has thrown up such and such a mass. they could always ambassador to the united kingdom is played down rumors that julian assange could be expelled from the building after we can explain that it could happen within days or even hours the whistleblowers been holed up inside since being granted asylum the six years ago but these initial sethi is

outside the embassy with details. wiki leaks dropped a bombshell on pasting nights claiming that julian assange could be expelled from the ecuadorian embassy just behind me in a matter of hour was or days we can leak suggested that i am a papers could be used as a pretext now these papers allege that the ecuadorian president benefits from an offshore accounts as any involvement in publishing the papers murano house responded quite harshly to these allegations. too many times mr sanchez violates the cream and leach with him and his attorney and he can freely talk he can freely express himself but he cannot lie or have private accounts cell phone leaks and gauges in espionage and hacking snooping on phones even getting photos of my bedroom where i eat and how my wife and daughters and friends dongs ecuador hasn't issued any official statements on the wiki leaks statement when it was first reported i could dorian foreign minister actually called it

a rumor and we're also hearing from a senior ecuadorian official that said no decision has been made to expel joining this songe from the embassy back in two thousand and twelve a son she asked for asylum in the ecuadorian embassy over sexual assault allegations in sweden on a subsequent arrest warrant issued that now the swedish cases have since been trumped but they're still astounding warrants in the u.k. of a son having to get bail now there are also fears that he could be extradited to the u.s. to face trial if wiki leaks reports of u.s. custody fight documents his fear is that he will be pictured. then face extradition to. the lighting for extremists. i'm convinced that expects to be frank is in trouble for exposing the truth about crimes and wars the stray was involved in and is a journalist and

a publisher and is free speech news. we hope that ecuador doesn't for its sake violate its own asylum and its own asylum its against the law he is a political i say only under the protection of international law it's against the law to be handed down by back to the people who wanted it so what they're trying to do here is a trying to something illegal in a very underhanded way for now would be keeping you up to date on any further developments that happen right here in london outside the ecuadorian embassy. human rights campaign the potential believes that the song is being used as a bargaining chip in relations between ecuador and the u.s. . i would suggest it's highly likely that the u.s. government has been putting pressure on the government of ecuador and we know that president moreno in ecuador himself is under huge pressure his popularity has

slumped to about seventeen percent the new york times reported that president moreno had offered to handover sanch to the u.s. and exchange for debt relief so i think there is something much deeper going on here and it would be a great great shame if ecuador power to american pressure and gave up the important principle that a citizen of its country a political refugee had been granted asylum should be handed over to a foreign power to face draconian charges cooked up by a secret grand jury the content of which is not known to anyone that would be a very very grave step to take. commenting on the latest revelations former ecuadorian president rafael correia says there's plenty of evidence implicating lenin marino if a songster sleeth. these are huge cases one of the most. serious

corruption of this in history. proves we have a lot of proof it really. is we have these secret out there freezing secret counting done by war bonds we have this is their current we know really now these are grown a lot of. ensuite his goods were days where the more you know where he stands the bermondsey meter and ghost or easter. firmly in your. extremely. fine and i know there are things that when nice account will be organ the looming must protect your eyes or i repeat there is no. i saw her go into our constitution. will be descended into the next day or order and the ignore him most probably the most but there is right where we will see it were moving it will do. world powers called on the

warring sides in libya to cease hostilities and deescalate that was after an emergency meeting of the un security council which is just wrapped up a commander from eastern libya khalifa haftar is now outside tripoli and has ordered his forces to take the capital and cohen reports. here's what we know to this point militias supportive of the un backed government in tripoli reportedly took prisoner one hundred to one hundred forty five soldiers from khalifa haftar his forces there's also been a battle over the airport in tripoli have tar forces moved north coming as close as forty kilometers to tripoli by taking the village of soup after some fighting earlier on how to are ordered his forces to not open fire on civilians tripoli is controlled by the un backed government of prime minister fayyad is also raj the u.n. chief antonio gutierrez says he is leaving libya with quote heavy heart and deep

concern. a deep concern and the heavy heart. i still hope you can be possible to avoid luvvie. in and out all tripoli. and united nations as the main. available to facilitate any political solution able to uni fight the libyan institutions to briefly explain the situation in libya the country has been torn apart by warring factions since late libyan leader most moammar gadhafi was ousted by nato backed militia men in two thousand and eleven since then two rival governments have emerged one backed by the united nations and based in the western city of tripoli and another in the eastern city of tobruk as allied to huffed are. the university of kansas to control the

city i'll explain why after the break. join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next about different clubs on one hand it is logical to go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and the fresh perspective i'm used to surprising. if you think. i'm going to talk about football not the or else you can think i was going to do.

by the way what is that that's like here. come back american prosecutors secretly gathered information on chinese tech giant huawei the revelations came to light at the hearing in the us federal court the us government has warned the company about its intentions to use this information in the future lawyers of around five months to gather more data before decisions taken on how to proceed. meanwhile former u.s. military officials have expressed concern over chinese built five g.

networks according to them china will be able to gather data through them potentially putting military operations which use the networks at risk and moreover these technologies could improve china's high tech authoritarianism. chaney's designed five g. networks will provide near persistent data transfer option or even that of our intelligence community but the directive of china's twenty seventeen intelligence law economics professor richard bove told us the u.s. allegations against while we are all about corporate interests. every country in the world that uses high tech telecommunications is using the american version of volves if you we can't trust which we really care and then the biggest country that runs the risk of others saying we're not going to use your equipment because we can't trust that that's the most dangerous thing for the united states will the chinese try to use their equipment for something other than

what it is lying to do probably will you have to defend against that yes our country is doing that europeans yes but they've been doing that to defend against american companies that have a much bigger role in the world and so the hypocrisy here has to help you understand it here or it's not serious. the u.s. university of kansas science provoked a huge outcry after denounced its new course which is called angry white male studies now the description says the course will examine the rise of the angry white male in america and the u.k. over the last seventy years it will consider the men's emotional state and will also determine masculinity in different cultures and various time periods however some us politicians claim the course violates the law which prohibits any discrimination in versus instead of the course to unite people and to empower

women the university of kansas has decided software costs that divides the student population could pose to title nine violation by creating hostile campus environment based on gender. twenty users haven't exactly welcomed news of the university's move either the course is due to begin at the start of the new academic year and will be told by a white male himself in diversity is professor of humanities. let's bring in comedian co-host of the news on with the wrong he joins me on the line now. ron i'm still trying to wrap my head around this story what do you think this course is trying to achieve why specifically angry white males well i guess is exploring something that's kind of going on contemporarily in the united states you know you have a lot of frustration across the country and we also have a media structure here in the united states that thrives on you know scapegoating

and polarization so you know you see this thing where are instead of telling people to look at the system that is causing these frustrations the neoliberal system that benefits the one percent and throws working people under the bus you know instead of doing that you usually see you know some kind of group that scapegoated be it immigrants or the community or something like that and as far as the outrage surrounding this thing that's going on contemporarily they're looking at anger which looking at it more big me and in the medicine community and basically everywhere i am and more and this is coming from someone who full disclosure has struggled with temper issues my entire life taken a few anger management workshops in my life i still get angry every time i'm in traffic i don't know why i live in los angeles i don't know what i'm thinking like i get my car and i'm like it's going to be different today it's going to be terrible every time but i still get angry because i'm not perfect so so i didn't i

didn't connect with the outrage surrounding this course at all i don't see what the outrage is about what i have a study to think of. a white to one of the other races. well i think that's just because this is what this particular course is looking at i mean i mean they brought in the factors that they're going to be examining. and that just happens to be what this course is dealing with. i think that you know i can see how some people came to the conclusion oh this is an overgeneralization or something like that but i read you know the course description that was in the article and i didn't see it that way i didn't see it as oh all angry white men are just angry because they're bigoted or anything like that i read it as you know this is something that's going on this is something that's on the rise contemporarily we're going to look at these different factors and try to make connections so i don't see what there was you know what there was to be angry about what do you think will

determine whether somebody is classified as i agree or not a lot of people probably what some great interest to find out whether they're considered angry. and that's why i mean i agree with that and i think that's why this is something that needs to be explored more and i'm talking big picture when i say this you know and i can't speak for the u.k. as much as i don't live there i live in the u.s. but. anger management for instance and this is just kind of a fun tidbit a court can order anger management on a person like they can order anger management which i'm not against that i mean i think that can help with someone's rehabilitation in many instances but they can order it as a punishment but you never really see a focus here in the united states on anger management as kind of a preventive measure so i think anger as a whole is a very fascinating concept it's a very deep concept what exactly is it how does it happen what triggers it how can you use it productively i believe that anger can be channeled productively or it

can be you know very toxic so i think that's something that needs to be explored more not less so so i was not i was not outraged by this at all. i guess comedian co-host of news on with her thanks so much for having me. us congress has passed a bill against american involvement in saudi arabia's war in yemen both chambers and the so-called war powers act to stop the u.s. from supporting riyadh without the approval of congress but the motion of some rather sneaky efforts to block it is done if explains. fine print a few lines of text that can ruin you financially and allow facebook to know more about you than your family and friends ever will and keep the u.s. sponsoring a war that has led to the world's worst humanitarian crisis the us has passed a resolution to stop washington support for the saudi led complain in yemen for

a very long time many have been desperately calling for this while the war hawks in congress have been equally desperate to prevent it from passing and the means that they've resorted to to derail any such initiative absolutely spectacular. when house democrats put forward a resolution like this last time republicans added an amendment to it which condemned anti semitism this tragedy is merely one part of an upset in development that is a merged in recent years a resurgence of anti-semitism now what does anti semitism have to do with the war in yemen you are ask nothing but follow the hands the resolution passed in the house but was eventually refused to vote in the senate because it contained a bit irrelevant to the main subject which house democrats didn't have the guts to

argue to get rid of out of fear as to sounds in a phobic and it's not the only time when yemen's fate was decided by the small print. last year donald trump signed into law a bill which he described like this through fires floods and freezing weather we will always stand with the american farmers the farm bill doubles the amount of farmers that they can borrow to expand and improve their farms you sure sounded pleased in this clip yet i have my suspicion that concerns for american farmers have little to do with it because this bill appeared on his table with an attachment blocking the vote on yemen and an identical thing happened the month before that. the house rules committee voted to advance the manage our wolves act that lifted a ban on hunting gray wolves and yes blocked

a vote on the u.s. involvement in the yemeni war which is an absolute outrage if you ask me because look in these big sad puppy eyes how on earth can you allow the hunting of a creatures beautiful as this but in all seriousness though congress finally passing the yemen bill without any cabinets is a major milestone indeed but it is set to appear on donald trump's table next and just take a wild guess what's going to happen if you truly care about your many lives you'd support the saudi led effort to prevent yemen from turning into a puppet state of the corrupt british islamic republic of iran so yeah when you fix all the farmers' misery and manage all your wolves you always have mr president to rely on. intervened in yemen in twenty fifteen after the saudi president of the time was ousted by the rebels the bill passed by congress is yet to be approved by donald trump he may veto the decision sort of this head of the international action

center doesn't think from will pass the legislation. are the resolution will very much likely go back again they'll be other votes and other efforts president trump has absolutely tied himself to the feudal monarchy. and to muhammad bin solomon so there is a certain level of international embarrassment the saudis failure to to crush the movement in yemen and that's what's really behind this vote while the vote was important and at least pushing back the total and overwhelming u.s. support for saudi arabia's criminal war against yemen it's a war that would not one day of it would be possible without u.s. support naval blockade air refueling for years it's been four years of disaster for the people of yemen. as we used to say it's home time off the stick without

international though my colleague sean thomas will bring a bright and breezily up to date in just over half an. hour. bernie made a fatter army and said if you don't buy into my ponzi scheme on going to shoot my god if you even know the buy this game with well known to be a ponzi scheme yes you see it investigated bernie made up at least twice before they finally busted him and they it was a well known ponzi scheme invested by well known people imagine bernie had an army now apply that to the u.s. dollar the u.s. dollar is a ponzi scheme why do people buy the u.s. dollar because if they don't the u.s. military said and they're obliterated whether it's iraq or libya or some other place like this around and so that's what we're going to set a new york times rightly so the u.s. dollar is worthless is backed by while.

u.s. veterans who come back from war are often told those same stories. were going after the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either there already is several generations of them so i just got this memo from a certain french officer says we're going to attack and destroy the government in seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with them money others with their lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war surely we can risk some discomfort for uneasiness for. one else seemed wrong why don't we all just don't hold. any new world. but you get to shape out these days to come out to it and engage with equals

betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

we'll. leave. when we have a new baby we will often hang a hang a blanket and the baby will go into there thinking it's the shape of the mother and put his hand up to suckle and i think it's the texture on the face and the fact that his it's soft and we're trying to replicate to a point the mother so that he'll put his head on that instinct put his head out so we can get the bottle to get him to. lose the world.

was being with us all two weeks to the day actually it was two weeks ago today that we rescued with and so we crossed the ten day mark i mean he arrived he had very young very vulnerable and we didn't know it was. the bright. if their mothers baby elephants come to survive in the wild without help unlike some other animals elephants won't really young that isn't. get back on their feet and prepare them to return to the wild. it. is so they elephants they.
