confessed but the teenager denies this claiming he was forced into an admission of guilt after hours of torture riyadh's decision to sentence him to death is on surprisingly not going down well ridiculous exercise or brutality of starvation state authoritarianism another human rights abuse case the prosecutor. included race his case is not only calling for the death penalty but for his body to be crucified or dismembered afterwards here's a chain year old kid riding his bike and somehow this is a capital offense now you'd be forgiven if you'll experiencing some deja vu remember all the indignation over lost his assassination of this jamal khashoggi the media allege the crown prince was complicit in his mug something the kingdom need to noise politicians called for immediate sanctions against riyadh and human rights groups lost at the kingdom's constant violations of well human rights but do

you remember how it and did i call the game i like the king. i said king. defending you king and you have a lot of money. yep you guessed it minutely contracts to the tune of billions of dollars not of course for getting the millions of 1000 having to american shores every day everything made puffing sense the charm and in fact it seems that the shanty case actually helped him dip into the saudi coffers they buy a lot from us $450000000000.00 that you know you have people wanting to cut off saudi arabia they've bought 450000000000 dollars i don't want to lose them so where are we now on the one hand trumps administration has just will thrive as a top american defense fund called raytheon to couple with the saudis and build bomb parts in saudi arabia on the other hand the fate of

a minor facing the death penalty for challenging the saudi regime do we really need to 2nd guess what's next there is no pretense anymore of it being moral and the trump administration the us maybe it was worse when your prior administrations where they tried to pretend that what they were doing was the moral thing that's been very clear he brags about the. deals the strakes you know selling arms to the saudis we just turn a blind eye to the atrocities and that say well you know it's real politic we support the arabia because they're on our side treasury is really very honest that he doesn't care about human lives the life of a show g. or any other person on death row or any other person who's about to be executed by acts of legal means by the saudi royal family now to experience the look there by a lot of weapons from us israeli olu media hype about these new gruesome executions

i don't believe that the us government policy makers will change their orientation to its early radio whatsoever this early 0 cash out for us that since contrary so you really is a strategic ally of israel in the me is that the us control over that resource rich area called the middle east. thousands of videos are said to be taken down from you tube the platforms adopting new guidelines which ban videos of the promote the superiority of any group it's just the latest move in widespread reforms by various online sites aimed at battling allegedly harmful or discriminatory content but as our senior correspondent i guess they have explains it's not quite as clear cut as it seems. you tube has again shuffled about it's hate speech and discrimination policy this follows a sidestep wark to some assault and a back flip today we're taking another step in our hate speech policy by specifically prohibiting videos alleging that

a group is superior in order to justify discrimination segregation or exclusion based on qualities like age gender race cars to religion sexual orientation or veteran status if that was any more vague it might as well have been fog may thaw the cloud. yes it's really that vague videos alleging a group is superior gosh according to that statement the hamma of politically correct judgment is about to fall and later other adam lovers that see dogs as superior to men. and to saying i'm uneducated docs but i'd still choose allergies over another man in my life. when i started on i love my don't suppress that couldn't imagine my life without my has was. always very good than me as i see it comparing an entire agenda to

a dog could be taken as offensive by both sexes and all those that between and sexually but it does raise an interesting point who the hell are you tube facebook or twitter the platforms for people to chat on express themselves or they census moral police responsible for how and what you say neither apparently all responsibilities use and if you violate any of the you can credibly vague rules you'll get banned no matter how funny you think of these chinese tourists are the worst tourists there say the traffic we're going to hold the tourism back all the travelers like please here they are here are 10 things russia excels at and does better than how we do it in america both consume a lot of vodka but as far as manufacturers the us hasn't really brought anything new to the game including adding flavor to us that was popular among russian

aristocracy before the us was even a country russians doing things better than americans that is like oh my god so racist someone call 911 dot youtube dot com militant feminists your next these is eat. an objective observer can see that. a man's life is nothing but a kind of staggering from controlled by his mother to controlled by his wife. women can both think and feel the same time man can. man can either think or feel it does sound too good to be true if they start enforcing their own policies no matter how vaguely well stop hearing about the best country in the world the freest country in the world the greatest country in the world daily why are fellow as i'm proud of my mexican ancestry but i also am proud of my american

nationality how do i balance these 2 things super simple celebrate cinco de mayo because you are proud of your mexican heritage believe that it is mexico's independence day because you have american and. let's be honest you true overlords didn't update their rules to take down america is great videos but given that the rules now so ambiguous they can be used to take down anything what challenged even removed the political or controversial video stand or there i say it anything and she is stablish went. 47 years ago this iconic image of the vietnam war 1st grabbed the public's attention doctors gave the girl in the photograph can focus little chance of surviving words but against the odds she did a brutal protracted war claimed the lives of millions. in

this 47th anniversary than artes and sophie shevardnadze speaks to kim fuko survivor of that napalm attack who says her wounds may have healed but her heart hasn't. after lunch so we get clay around and. suddenly decide which is jail for the children and asks us to randy i remember. as a child i just stood there and then i saw everything i saw the fall of bombs. landing like that and then suddenly the fire was everywhere around me

and my clothes were burned off by the fire and i saw the fire. was over my left arm and a in lady lake that and i used my right hands i wet it up and day by day i i have to go through with a lot of pain in and trauma in ny man and very low so is tim not only the scar i have from the napalm and the pain from that one did but my heart was in trouble.

too a picture perfect town in germany now that in the spotlight over the election of a new mayor the likely victory of a right wing candidate who has already run me 1st round of voting and sent shock waves all the way to hollywood was written off in a report. welcome to girly wood this is how this little german town of gurlitz at the border with poland is sometimes referred to with hollywood teams frequent guests here not surprisingly look around me having survived the allied bombing raids hain war walk to its old town has retained a special atmosphere making it a perfect location for historical and war dramas among the blockbusters filmed here in glorious bustards and the grand budapest hotel dreaming. but some no fear that this traditionally left leaning town is about to undergo an

inglorious shift and become germany's 1st to vote in mayor from the alternative for germany party candidate vipul 36 year old police commissioner picked up 36.4 percent of the vote in the 1st round and he has a serious chance of topping the candidates in the 2nd round runoff later this week now actors and directors the german and 4 in a calling on locals here to move forward though to mean the far right as for the businesses i personally think it's a good thing that the c.d.u. was finally voted out it never was and never will be good while they are in power. i don't really know but i think the previous government made too many mistakes. and no i don't think it's right i think the people of gurlitz a smart enough to decide for themselves i think that imposing someone else's opinion or example from america is unacceptable. it's typical for artists because

they think differently they can also voice their opinions we live in a democratic country so everyone is free to express their thoughts if they don't believe here then they shouldn't meddle in our local affairs we do not tell others what to do they'll turn to for. germany pasta candidate may be leading the polls right now but with 6 days to the vote and the power of the film industries elite now involved the mayor race here him this town has itself become big screen material life an ocean on our t.v. reporting from the town of garnets and is some german and. coming up president trump out some insurance to his virtual wall but he's managed to wrangle the u.s. border with mexico saying trade tariffs can always report back if it fails to stop the flow of microsoft to.

one else seemed wrong why don't we all just don't call. me. yet to shape our disdain comes out of. and indeed from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. join me every thursday on the alex i'm i'm sure and i'll be speaking to get us through the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you there.

welcome back president trump may be celebrating his recent border control deal with mexico that limits the number of migrants that can enter the united states but he is not above adding a little insurance into the mix. there is now going to be great cooperation between mexico and the usa something that didn't exist for decades however if for some unknown reason there is not we can always go back to our previous very profitable position of tariffs. a president from rolled out his threat of tariffs at the end of may due to start a monday all imports from mexico would to be hit with a 5 percent tariff rising to 25 percent if a deal wasn't struck but

a deal was struck and now the u.s. is expecting this mexico to deploy its national guard giving priority to the border with the united states it's also going to make greater efforts to tackle human trafficking and accept south american asylum seekers who are awaiting a decision from the united states all that in exchange for a no increase tariffs of mexican goods and touring america kind of looks into how trump got his virtual wall. just recently a column of migrants coming from honduras el salvador and guatemala was stopped after just being in mexican territory for a few miles they're saying they're going to take is to give his papers but we don't believe their behavior is not normal it's a sharp contrast to previous attempts where caravans made it all the way 4000 kilometers to the u.s. border with mexico changes now afoot for mexican president lopez obrador he was certainly no fan of donald trump on his campaign trail. the united states

government would want us to do the work by blokey migrants from central america who . it seems that he has now decided to assert mexico's sovereignty and follow the white house's lead most want to have a relationship a read to rate it a friendship with the people and with the government of the united states this is a position the u.s. authorities president trump the board behaved very well because they have not closed dialogue now we all remember donald trump's epic campaign promise we need to build a wall i will build a great great wall we're building a wall it's going to be a wall that is not nobody's going through my wall and who was supposed to fit the bill and i will have mexico pay for that wall. my words now couple of years later there's not much of a wall exactly but perhaps we just can't see it the government of mexico has this missteps to sign this agreement because there were no other way to go our way of

those arabs or all the products from mexico and now we are in between 2 fires at the fire of next week and government under fire a lot from you know pushing for more control on immigration and this is based out really but for our economy and we think this is just the beginning of this. battle mr truong is pushing for commercials and immigration at this famed time because he knows that this is good for his reelection on 2020 he's doing everything he can to gain and he's going to one again doing this kind of pressure on mexico and mexico's just fine in this kind of argument is really is that. counting is underway after what was an historic election in the central asian

country of catholics down the pole there is guaranteed to elect a new leader for the 1st time since the breakup of the soviet union now although there's no official results yet exit polls suggest that the interim president will get about 70 percent of the vote he goes down of reports next from the capital. this monday kazakstan woke up to decisively find out who's going to lead the country in the next 5 years and well i should say there have been no surprises there the all time favorites of the race yes the interim president and the appointee of the previous president. is leading in the race with some 70 percent of the votes now again these are not the official results just yet we're expecting those close to the evening here but i mean still even with such exit polls with the numbers they're giving it's high. leon likely doesn't look like any other candidate has a viable chance of getting that top job now too just to give you an idea as to who this man is he has been in the upper echelons of power in this country for quite

a while and before running in this election he used to chair the senate used to chair the upper house of the country's parliament now as he caused his ballot as kissinger might the kind of cast his ballot with and the i should say quite beautiful interiors of the opera house here right after that i got a chance i got the opportunity to ask him what he envisions for the country and he's what he told me the wrong cars are strong there are so many challenges to situation there on the war that is becoming increasingly tomatoes so we believe that here in costarred we need to avoid reuse and pitfalls we need to meet our challenges that come from outside or uniform inside but anyway we i believe there due to the we work with almost we people are cover star and we'll be successful parents we will all account this is the 1st presidential election in this country

in which the previous leader did not run as a buy of skipped this race and so it means for the 1st time since the fall of the soviet union kazakstan will have a new face a new leader so it is a big deal and really figures that show i mean they speak for themselves more than 70 percent more than 77 even percent or of the voters of the people who were allowed to vote took to the polling stations on sunday this amounts to some 12000000 people as for the what does the future holds for this country assumes or not the kind of seems to stick to the policy line maintained by his predecessor at least his actions so far as the interim president indicate. but of course it's only the next 5 years that are going to show what really the future holds for kazakhstan . let's get some thoughts of what might happen next we can bring in author and

russia alice moscow mccauley welcome back to walk say mawson a crucial vote for kazakhstan maybe no big surprises but it's no definitely a landmark trying which direction do you see this having a. new president in cairo. because. it's still way ahead of party and if you like using evidence $100.00 rooms and he will have allegiance say poses in the. bar who worked together. but the person who. might like like to see him as president future is dawdle reagan who is the chair of the senate and we will be watching her 0 room. in the new. stand is that it would quote if you economic problems. richard quest would that it would create a real estate's it usually gives circulation. influence in kazakhstan and that

leaves. for chinese and russian investment. christian countries i think with a. continued major role in the future because it's an illusion. the americans would like to become a democracy. at present. into the future. one. of wired ones instability because it doesn't need stability and i think. that. explores the. problems you. what about that potential pivot towards china then because even if mr to gets the job and is just a figurehead as you say he is fluent in mandarin is it likely that kazakhstan is

going to look more eastwards towards its future dealings and if so is the united states really gets going to sit back and let that happen. i think that both of you talked to them because. they would like to. hear their grace the whole example or your mother because it's one of. the other states it's an. integrated more more if you like into a little incident. so that becomes a neat in the group because already they're both of the natural gas in the region and so on but. sometimes externalities or war where it's because they see themselves. as wholly embrace the child and the look of the child is because of the political joy that is. come to the world.

is a developing country for you don't want to. come too close to china because china will be very important will not lose them. and they will be obliged to work. within the unit but of course the problem is the or we could buy more of. those cross border trade. or we can. increase their presence in the. united states as a person. in the region. recently. we always appreciate your regional insights on this matter mcauliffe thanks for joining us on r.t. . that's the way it looks for the south thanks for watching the next world cup play follows cross talk assessing what we can take from last week's meeting between the

russian and chinese latest. you know touga 2017 the german newspaper default published an article claiming that the european union have lost 30000000000 euros as a result of its a very anti russian sanctions. particularly affected eastern europe many polish vamos went broke and even committed suicide. because of those obama get off.

on these if it. doesn't then let's see in the. middle. on the. hello and welcome to cross talk or all things are considered i'm peter lavelle on this edition of the program we discuss what drives the russia china relationship

critics claim it is a marriage of convenience proponents say otherwise. it is the pivotal be les sion ship of the 21st century. and some real news i'm joined by my guest dimitri bobbitt he's a political analysts we spoke nick international and in london we cross to marcus papadopoulos he's the editor of politics 1st magazine hard gentlemen cross-talk rules in effect that means he can jump any time you want and i always appreciate only go to marcus 1st in london we had in st petersburg over the last few days a visit by the chinese president sealed some deal new trading deals with russia at the same time we had this gathering commemorating the 75th 75th landing at normandy which 2 events of the last few days will be remembered most in history go ahead marcus well anyone who fought against nazi isms who all who falls

against imperial japan should be commemorated and should be celebrated its however ever since the end of the 2nd world war unfortunately in the west principally american brits and history has been rewritten because if someone from another planet came suit earth they would spank that will suit the baton and it's on the beaches of normandy which is absolutely incorrect it was only decent ones what woad would suit was won and lost is on the east and fronts that the battle in 88 percent of the total was one casualty so let me put it in a novel way of every 5 years german soldiers killed it was also for financing against the red domains and it was the sacrifices of the red army that enabled nazis to be discrete it's be destroyed and peter you and i would not be having this discussion on cost or without the sacrifices of the soviet union.
