if the. u.s. says it's looking to build international consensus. attacks in the gulf continues to play him around without providing verifiable evidence we'll look back at washington's track record when it comes to convincing the local community suppose that rogue states. and cons of ministration postpones a controversial bill on extradition to china after hundreds of thousands take to the streets in protest. and you resigned xeroxed in britain after a watchdog rules that gender stereotypes are harming society. the pandering to female narcissism in advertising is appalling and part of that is denigration of men don't want to see the stereotype of the decisions of the house cleaning out the

chaps. that's for joining us this evening this is r.t. international. the u.s. and iran are stepping up the blame game over a suspected attack on to oil tankers in the gulf of 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 very minorities aspire to us situation and the focus. for myself grass or board. and secretary pompei o is to build international consensus to this international problem. here the u.s. presented a video which it claims shows a radiance removing an unexploded mine from one of the facile no one else in the

region had the capacity to carry out such an attack the tankers owner though says that his crew reported the vessel being hit by flying projectiles around brown's american statements sabotaged diplomacy accusing the us of destabilizing destabilizing peace and security in the middle east. over the last 2 years the us 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 as artie's the dia tutor explains america does have a history of making false claims. event accusation war we've seen it so many times before is history about to repeat the us secretary of state mike compare 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 blame assault on the freedom of navigation and 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 raped as tools of war and the united states come dems this in the strongest possible terms the media

swallowed it whole libya mass rape claims using vi agri would be a horrific 1st us and boy gaddafi troops raping issued viagra pfizer defends 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 rescue soldiers come into the hospital. they took the baby.

to think it is a must these children to die of a cold oh. that was a young a coate to kill speaking to the u.s. congress q 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 know everything. the trumpet ministration accused 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 being response to peaceful efforts to help venezuelans countries that still brick madeira should take note of what they are endorsing 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 a lesson to be learned investigation before action as opposed to the other way around it's incredible that america still plays this game of wanting to persuade because american because the american people to go to war it doesn't mean the international community what it means that for the people at home to think of killing for a greater good you have to believe the worst. it's not for

america's part because they want to be the saviors of the exception on lisa. and this lie. still works and america it's a blast its moral standing in the war all its worth it's lost its treasury now has lost its insanity and its people does and up to america 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 a legislative amendment exercice restart our communication with all sectors of society do more explanation work and listen to different views of society the bill if passed would allow beijing to seek the extradition of suspects from hong kong to

mainland china the final decision on whether to extradite or not i would rest with on congress courts and chief executive and supporters of the draft law so that it will prevent hong kong from becoming a refuge for criminals others so fear it will erode on kong special status within china critics clomid allow beijing to target political enemies and it's not just hong kong residents concerned as evangelists obsess explains. for days there hong kong has been gripped by protest over an extradition bill that would allow alleged fugitives to be extradited to mainland china as well as taiwan. the 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 that 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 we're competitive media who for part of the protests in hong kong really run with beth or hung up the 123 the thing between hung and of the 10 men like americans in particular. to become the 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 if you change hong kong starters if that is the case your own homes just status quo all the opening import towards the world the movement the true will is intensifying into a cold war it is an interest of the beach to keep us he is a it is going to escalate to be a whole wall hong kong loose be conceived and tapped as the. worst that's recognized by the united states. with the miller reports concluding there was no collusion between team trump and russia in the 2016 u.s. presidential election many thought the question had funny been put to birds however donald trump himself has reignited the issue by suggesting that he would accept compromising information on political opponents from foreign sources without

necessarily 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 if. he's a traitor to the pillars of our democracy and that's what that interview shows it's a very sad. very sad thing that he does not know right from wrong is not is not interference in our elections it's illegal to take help from a foreign country in our elections it's illegal. 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 regarding paul man of ford and his dealings in the country paul manna for 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 mr lupa because the 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 and put them on a fooled let's get invests of journalists on 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 man a for its

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 during 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 not afford these have the fact of interfering in the us 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 bottom of the 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 the solicited collusion on the democrat side they had operated 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 shocking. the latest yellow vest demonstration underway across the whole of france has turned violent and in the capital clashes erupted in north ots used tear gas against protesters.

i. wonder of injuries were reported it's the 31st consecutive weekend the feel of a standard strange since it all began back in november when people took to the streets over a hike in fuel taxes despite the government climbing down the protests continue to now people are demanding improved living conditions and for president macro to quit . burning claims that it's cut its weapons exports by almost a quarter in the last year but there are fears that they could surge again after germany boosted trade ties with the u.a.e. we're bringing that story and more after the break. join me every thursday on the alex simon shore and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm sure business i'll see you there.

crashing on the global markets so when that happens people buy gold nations bygone countries michael something backed by the mind all the buy for gold it's making a new all time highs australian dollars almost dies on russian rubles almost arise in canadian dollars almost dies and europe's so yeah all over the world it's creeping higher because of the trust being eroded. in a world in which there are the americans that the chinese the indians the russians excedrin 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.

welcome back a report by the german government says that the country cut its song shipments by almost a quarter last year 2018 hole to the 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 the trade between germany and the u.a.e. has just received a boost prompting fears we knew damn cells could follow me for national explains. it was clearly a fruitful meeting but it's left a bitter taste in the mouth for some the visit rationing german chancellor angela merkel and the crown prince of abu dhabi signed in their lean head $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 us 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 libya 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 deals mentioned this time the bundestag opposition found out earlier that the multi 1000000000 euro partnership between germany and the united arab emirates doesn't include some deadly elements answering to a 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. puti who is 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 conflict

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 doing for us and the general dropping 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 we are without weapons is said to flourish i think it's the absolute apex of the prophecy to be talking business would dictate who is at the same time slaughtering civilians forming hospitals and starving children to death in yemen merkel she is doing what is convenient and the pressure from the united states from the. suppliers in germany is strong pressure you cannot deny that. a strong government would stand up to the pressure and put the interest of the german

population for 1st merkel 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 rowing the german arms to treat. the u.k.'s advertising watch dog has been reinforced gender stereotypes in august they'll bad for society. 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 part 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 household duties but to go back now back to me now back now back to me sadly he is

a. man 3 times just if you miss. 3 times to greece plus one. that's 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 ok. we discussed the story with firmness campaigner linda bello leader of the justice for men and boys party monkey can. 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 to far as feminists yet feminists have huge influence over of course is going 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 norm like the law has says it's $975.00 sex discrimination at that women should be treated no less favorably than men and therefore we don't want to see stereotype visions and visions of us cleaning up after chaps from the moments

that they leave school early 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 works but only one in 7 british women is i think this is not about market research is about actually law it's about the report 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 it's always 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. 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 ok you have to date i'll be back with more for you in half an hour here. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race is often scary dramatic development only going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful but a critical time to sit down and talk.

to get up off the ground begin to pay down. democrats on the sounds of. grown man like mislead essentially. wish to do away from the officer. of his group. the obvious or did they kind of lunge for the web in one's midst and then when it happened on treece one as i didn't hit him i never saw any contact with. any kind of went back to where they were so the officers back here their guy again 15 feet apart at this point and that's when the officer pulled out his gun and he bit on tree. why a paradise with some ground turned into a round the experimentation field the agricultural chemicals we know that these

chemicals have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise why would that the chemical company workers themselves be geared up and suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments that often in day you have many of these people who have one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of environmental research going on in hawaii whether these companies feel they can get away with that it's because the people have less political power.

this is boom bust broadcasting around the world and covering the world which is nuts and finance and the impact on us all and daniel prieto in washington there is a look at what's on deck today following a tariff free from the u.s. india's now getting in on the action slapping their own tariffs on several american made goods professor richard wolf is on hand today to help us break down the role reversal and lend us a hand of sort through some of the ominous signs on the horizon for the u.s. economy plus if it's friday it's time for the global market watch today will glance around the globe to see which countries are booming and which ones are busting and later a big point may make up the lion's share of the crypto market but other options are out there earlier we spoke with taylor letterman of simpler trading and rocking miller a bit see on to break down the future of proposed and what decides decentralisation got a past show today so let's go and die bright it.
