u.s. says it's looking to build an international consensus over the alleged attacks in the gulf of oman and continues to blame iran without providing verifiable evidence to look back at washington's track record when it comes to convincing the global community about suppose a rogue state. hong kong administration postpones a controversial bill on extradition to china after hundreds of thousands take to the streets in protest. and numerous axed in britain after a washtub rules that gender stereotypes are harming society. in that so i think it's appalling and it's deadly gratian of men don't want to see stereotypes and visions of us.

a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at r t h q thanks for joining us this hour. the u.s. and iran are stepping up the blame game over a suspected attack on 2 oil tankers in the gulf of oman washington's acting defense secretary though claims america is simply trying to build agreement on what happened. i think as you can tell we have an international situation there and annoying this is not a us situation and the focus for myself and embassador bolton secretary pompei o is to build international consensus to this international problem. earlier the u.s. presented this video claiming it shows iranians removing an unexploded mine from one of the vessels and no one else in the region had the capacity to carry out the attack the tankers owner though says his career port of the vessel being hit by

flying projectiles tear on brown's america statements sabotaged diplomacy accusing the u.s. of destabilizing peace and security in the region. will it be over the last 2 years the u.s. has been implementing an aggressive approach violating international law and using its financial and military clout this poses a serious threat to the region and to global security so iran is questioning the evidence the u.s. has presented and has no desire to report america does have a history of making accusations. event accusation war we've seen it so many times before is history about to repeat the u.s. secretary of state mike pumpin who's 100 percent convinced iran's got blood or in this case burning oil all over its hands it is the assessment of the united states government that the islamic republic of iran is responsible for the attacks that occurred in the gulf of oman today these unprovoked attacks present

a clear threat to international peace and security a blatant assault on the freedom of navigation and in an acceptable campaign of escalating tension by iran but similar bold accusation claims have been made in the past and how have they worked out countries invaded have undeniably been led by controversial figures often dictators but the evidence supplied by the us has more often than not been somewhat lacking and let's not even mention weapons of mass destruction let's take a look at libya in 2011 more gadhafi equaled enemy number one secretary clinton was there to tell us. the toughest security forces in other groups in the region are trying to divide the people by using violence against women and rape a stool so war and the united states come dems this in the strongest possible terms the media swallowed it whole libya mass rape claims using by agri would be a horrific 1st us and boy gadhafi troops raping issued viagra for as

a defense via group branded migs libyan mass rape allegations not exactly the conclusion of the un or even human rights groups come with your conclusion that there is a systematic policy of rape in my opinion we can't i know i said i wouldn't mention iraq so-called w m d's and i won't but i will talk about iraq because remember washington's gone into battle against it twice this will not stand this aggression . against the way. in the 1990 s. george bush sr was ready to go to war after iraq's troops entered to kuwait not convinced of the need for action perhaps this will help there i saw the wreck you saw use coming to the hospital with guns. we took the babies. to think abuse among the children to die of the cold. that was a young

a kuwaiti girl speaking to the u.s. congress cue the headlines witnesses talk of iraqi atrocities the rape of a nation and some literal identity theft and q the war just one problem that girl was the daughter of the kuwaiti ambassador in the u.s. while the interview was organized by a p.r. firm later investigations once again concluded reality was far from the truth back to present day and a new holder of the america's most hated title by this whalen president nicolas maduro trump says his time's up you will find no safe harbor. no wheezy exit and no way. you will everything. the trumpet ministration accused murderer of torching aid trucks there were photos to. dogs civilians killed by live rooms and the burning of trucks carrying badly

needed food and medicine this is been response to peaceful efforts to help venezuelans countries that still brooke it lies madeira should take note of. and once again the media lapped it up a bit embarrassing when the new york times is later forced to admit it was in fact the opposition has been striking the matches so to go back to where we weaken iran still convinced by mr pompei is video perhaps the lesson to be learned investigation before action as opposed to the other way around. and it's incredible that america still plays this game of wanting to persuade because america needs the american people to go to war it doesn't need the international community what it means is for the people at home to think of killing for the greater good the iraqis have to believe that the worst they're waging is other countries it's not for america's profit but because they want to be the saviors of the walk through the exceptional nation and this lie all the still work for

america is just lost its moral standing in the wall because of all its wars it's lost its treasury and that's lost its insanity and if people does stand up to murder the world does not stand up to america then walk for the world because the world will change as we know it. following a series of mass protests hong kong's chief executive has postponed a controversial bill on extradition. i now announce that the government has decided to suspend the legislative amendment exercise restart our communication with all sectors of society do more explanation work and listen to different views of society the bill would allow beijing to seek the extradition of suspects from hong kong to mainland china the final decision on whether to extradite or not would rest with hong kong's courts and its chief executive now supporters of the draft law say

it will prevent hong kong from becoming a refuge for criminals but others fear it will road hong kong's special status within china and critics claim it will allow beijing to target political enemies but it's not just hong kong residents who are concerned as about all subsets explains. for days there hong kong has been gripped by protests over an extradition bill that would allow alleged fugitives to be extradited to mainland china as well as taiwan. the was. did you notice the banners written in english or it doesn't seem the best way of getting the government's attention in beijing but american politicians are receiving the message loud and clear the extradition bill imperils the strong u.s. hong kong relationship there has florrie's for 2 decades if it passes to congress

has no choice but to reassess whether hong kong is sufficiently autonomous under the one country 2 systems framework the extradition law proposed by beijing loyalists in hong kong would allow political dissidents minorities and foreign travelers in hong kong to be spirited away to china secret police on the mainland the people of hong kong are assembling in the streets to resist this threat to their freedom and send a message to the chinese communist party we stand with the people of hong kong the peaceful demonstrations are a strong profound statement against the extradition bill which undermines the rule of law on a secure business environment so from america's perspective extraditing suspects from hong kong to madeleine china seems to be awful but extraditing them to the united states well it seems to be fine because the united states still has an extra tradition treaty with hong kong dating back to the territories time as

a british colony and america is not only giving its moral support the us national and don't meant for democracy has given vast sums to hong kong trade unions and rights groups driving this movement so why. behind all this generosity well the chinese state media has made it clear i don't think competitive media who are part of the protests in hong kong really want with beth or hung. they want to thieve the things between hung can't and of the 10000000 americans in particular one can come to become my new to campaign. so while the people of hong kong may have disputes with men lend china they're also finding themselves trapped in a power play between beijing and washington the us government these threatening eve to be you would be passed. on constructors if that is the case your own homes

state a school the opening import tools to work the movement the true will is intensifying into a cold war it is of interest off the beach to keep home he is. going to escalate to be a whole war. be conceived and kept as the window connecting to west us recognized by the united states. with the miller report concluding there was no collusion between trump and russia in the 2016 election many thought the question had been put to bed but on trump himself has reignited the issue by suggesting he would accept compromising information on political opponents from foreign sources that alerting the f.b.i. . to somebody that said we have information on your opponent oh let me call the f.b.i. give me a break life as it were that. he is a traitor to the pelisse of our democracy and that's what that interview shows it's

a very sad and scary thing that he does not know right from wrong is not interference in our elections it's illegal to take help from a foreign country in our elections it's illegal. of course you have to look at it because if you don't look at it you're not going to know if it spread but of course you'd give it to the f.b.i. or reported to the attorney general or somebody like that donald trump has done it again he's opened his mouth and made a comment that has the democrats screaming we've got it and this time it involves for any info and the f.b.i. now there certainly is growing evidence of foreign contacts during the 2016 elections but not from the truck campaign but rather from the campaign of hillary clinton d.n.c. contractor was in contact with ukrainian officials were guarding paul manna ford and his dealings in the country paul man afore it was the chief of donald trump's campaign at that time the ukrainian ambassador has confirmed that the clintons were

digging up dirt the embassy got snow miss chalupa because very occasionally of ukrainian and other diasporas in washington d.c. and often had d.n.c. capacity we've learned about the d.n.c. involvement later light is floated by alexandra were related to approaching a member of congress with a purpose to initiate hearings in pomona fooled well let's get invests of journalists prison portion crow question about mr manifolds during his public talk in washington d.c. according to some documents the obama white house was in on it as well reports show that meetings took place with the ukrainian anti corruption bureau in early 2016 when this is recalled that the u.s. department of justice was investigating ties between the ukrainian party of regions and folks in the united states they were sniffing around paul mann affords contacts but they didn't bring charges at the time it was definitely the case that led to the charges against manifolds on the leak to the us media join the 2016 election now the leak was provided by that particular anti corruption bureau in ukraine

about millions of dollars that paul metaphoric had allegedly received the key of district administrative court ruled that the national anti corruption group of ukraine direct broke the law when disclosing information about u.s. citizen pool. these have the fact of interfering in the u.s. election in 2016 and was detrimental to the interests of ukraine now whatever you think about foreign meddling this is got to raise eyebrows nothing in the bob muller report came anywhere near this i think what the d.n.c. did with the ukraine is is absolutely far 10 times beyond what anybody in the trump campaign did and if the standard is going to be seeking or even hearing information from foreign campaigns that that's going to be a criminal act the democrats are going to be in trouble way before the republicans are going to be in trouble they are really trampling on the 1st amendment now trying to make it a crime to listen to information and i think that's

a dangerous path and it is unbelievable the way the other side united states is not wanting to talk about all the collusion on the solicited collusion on the democrat side they had operative operatives not only actively seeking foreign information on president trump then candidate trump they were paying for that information and i don't know why the left media in the united states has want to cover this it's it's it's shocking. colin claims it's cut its weapons exports by almost a quarter in the last year but there are fears they could surge again the details after the break.

in a world in which there are the americans that the chinese the indians the russians etc europeans can only really be a player at that global top table by standing united and we are already united on the economic front and we increasingly understand that we have to do so also on the defense front.

my. welcome back a report by the german government says the country cut its arms shipments by almost a quarter last year in 2018 it halted exports to certain states over their involvement in the yemen conflict among them the united arab emirates despite the u.a.e. claiming it acts only to ensure stability in the region but trade between germany and the u.a.e. has just received a boost from being fears renewed arms sales could follow more if national explains . it was clearly a fruitful meeting but it's left a bitter taste in the mouth for some the visit will ration german chancellor angela merkel and the crown prince of abu dhabi signed in berlin had $46.00 points and focused mainly on business ties between germany and the united arab emirates but the conversation apparently went far beyond that of the 2 of you but of course we talked about the conflict in yemen and i'm very happy between a green

a common explanation for the recent assessor to support the new treaty of process in the united nations with the u.n. special envoy of course they talked about yemen the united arab emirates is the 2nd key player in the devastating conflict there after saudi arabia and germany reportedly selling its weapons the reason why the warm welcome of the crown prince here in berlin made some opposition politicians fuming as deputy commander in chief of the u.s. armed forces he has access to enormous financial and military capacities which he and scrupulously uses to support autocratic rulers who oppose human rights in countries such as egypt and saddam which sheikh mohammad bin sayed received by merkel and steinmeier a man responsible for war crimes in yemen now concrete actions not just strong words are needed the work crimes of the u.a.e.

must not be rewarded by german arms exports even though there were no armed deal of mention this time the bundestag opposition found out earlier that the multi-billion euro partnership between germany and the united arab emirates doesn't include some deadly elements unser into request by germany's left party the federal ministry for economic affairs confirmed yes german weaponry could go to the u.a.e. and no rules will be broken the party behind the request strongly disagrees we talked to its palm and 3 day. who's also an m.p. the federal government violates the arms exports to the u.a.e. and the other countries participating in a war in yemen which is a violation of the political principles of the federal government for the export of war weapons and other armaments this document clearly stipulates delivery of weapons or arms components is not approved for countries involved in armed conflicts or where there is

a threat we contacted the federal ministry of economic affairs for clarification but so far haven't received a response and while there is still no clear understanding of whether germany does sell or whether it should sell its weapons to the united arab emirates the public discussion goes on and on. the last year angela merkel imposed an arms embargo on saudi arabia for its role in the air war this week she welcomed the u.a.e. crown prince mohammed bin zaid and praise strengthen business links for the gulf country no mention of arms exports. weapons are delivered to dubai the united arab emirates in fact there is no expert ban for weapons they're delivered to the military partners of saudi arabia people are dying anyway we need an e.u. wide expert ban germany which had different times has had various restrictions or rates arm trade with the united arab emirates over yemen claims there was no solid evidence that german made weapons were used in the conflict and therefore the

country's guidelines have not failed its embargo with saudi arabia is still in force and the general drop in german is arm experts proves that the country that stands for peace making moves in the right direction which probably means that the massive abu dhabi berlin trade with or without weapons is said to flourish i think it's the absolute apex of the prophecy to be talking business to dictate who is at the same time shown on the slaughtering civilians with bombing hospitals and diving children to death and the yemeni markel she is doing what's convenient pressure. from united states from the. suppliers germany strong pressure you cannot deny that to a strong government would stand up. to you and put the interest of the general

population 1st america doesn't do that what she's doing is she's thinking about the 15 nearly 15000000000 in trade between the united arab emirates and germany. she thinking about knowing german are. the u.k.'s advertising watchdog has banned the ads that reinforce gender stereotypes arguing they're bad for society. all riverdance shows how harmful gender stereotypes in ads can contribute to inequality in society with costs for all of us put simply we found that some portrayals in ads can over time play a policy in limiting people's potential the new guidelines apply to all forms of advertising radio t.v. online and print from now on advertisers will have to tread carefully when showing women for example doing the cleaning or men struggling with housework but to go back now back to me now back to back now back to me sadly he is

a free. man 3 times just if you miss. 3 times the greaseproof one times you know that just might be the time to relax in a kitchen floor. ok sell your press the button do this thing go bang no it's curly oh ok. we discussed the story with feminist campaigner linda bellows and the leader of the justice for men and boys party mike we can't. we're still talking about doing something that we said would happen 2030 years ago we had the sex discrimination act since $9075.00 and there was a promise then. that men and women will be treated equally fairly and we've yet to

see it i'm sorry to say this is of course just the advertising industry bowing down to radical feminism. the idea that there is some big problem here any well they will. say that linda but only 9 percent of british women suffered and defined as feminists yet feminists have huge influence over of this girl not to do it because all this judge gender stereotyping thing is just one of countless firmness narratives lots of women who want to see equality and justice don't call themselves feminists i've got nothing to do with them it isn't actually has got to do with the law mike the law has says it's 975 sex discrimination that women should be treated no this favorably than men and therefore we don't want to see stereotyped versions and visions of us cleaning up after chaps from the moments that they leave school they leave full time education to retirement age women are

far more likely than men to not work at all or to work part time and this is this is this is got nothing to do with this sort of you do have a ties and it's got to do with gender differences in work ethic and i refer you to dr katherine hackett in the world renowned social or just who showed in the paper but the phenomenon she called preference theory that for in 7 british men are work censored but only one in 7 british women is i think this is not about market research is about actually law it's about the reply we are projecting british society as it is and i want my son i want my grandson to be able to clean up after themselves not just to think it. a woman's job now is that you might might you might think that radical frankly this is the 21st century and that's what most of us want me to be nice if we nice if avatars ing stop portraying men as completes

nincompoops and women as saints who you know who you know could never do anything wrong i mean the pandering to female nascar is in the mind and. the pandering to female narcissism in advertising is appalling and part of that is denigration of men but. i very much doubt you know that the denigration of men in advertising is going to reduce. that's a news break down for this hour and that's all for me as well but we're not you know harvey will be taking up or in about 30 minutes thanks for tuning in for every maybe. i. have that. was.

i think you know cubans all over the world you know all all very similar you know west the western us did not invent democracy you know democracy everywhere in world history in india in china if you go far enough back creating inclusion in some of the union after 990 was not a matter of adopting the u.s. constitution it was a matter of finding what works in that cultural context. officer . to get up off the ground serve began to get him down.

heard them focus on the sounds of. a grown man the christening essentially. john. pushed it away from the officer. the officer did a kind of lunge for the web in one smith's and then when it happened on trace one as i didn't i never saw any contact with. any kind of went back to where they were so the masters back here their try again 15 feet apart at this point and that's when the officer pulled out his gun and he did turn 3. ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah at the right. the comedy show americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents. i want to show you something that happened

a few days ago that demonstrates how ruthlessly pathetic our mainstream media is i'm talking all war and winning levels of soccer right on talk in the dyson guy actually sells our mainstream media to people who want to suck the paint off their house that's how bad it is the radio show loud and clear brought this story to my attention and it's incredible ok let's take a country that our corporate media wants you day hate for example north korea our corporate media despises them and can you blame when we were going to grow. our media doesn't want peace with north korea they want they don't want thawing tensions they don't want relations they want the average american to view north korea just like this all right that is all it is that is the entirety of the nuance of the whole country so how do they achieve that well one way is to act like all of north korea is one person all 26000000 people or

a single pudgy tyrant that is. now look at these headlines from just a couple weeks ago if you see just north korea executed its top nuclear negotiators according to a report yes the whole nation executed them every every even the baby north koreans played a hand in the murder of north korean babies just 5. nuclear negotiators say really and this is my favorite from reuters north korea executes envoy to failed us summit media who told you they were executed media. media tell me you don't read. they tell us things it was made the. point is everybody in america sees this and thinks to your god what a tyrant kim jong un is but oh wait 3 days later we find out north korean official executed over faile nuclear summer.
