are broadcast direct from our studios in moscow this is arjun international and john thomas glad to have you with us. our world powers have called for an urgent deescalation between the u.s. and iran envoys from the to call countries address to the u.n. security council and seemed to in no mood for compromise. iran's defiance of the security council and its reckless behavior threatening peace and security globally must not be downplayed in the name of preserving a deal the doesn't fully cut off iran's path to a nuclear weapon the international community should also does its against us. if you want. to be governed by the rule of law not. the united states is made clear its willingness to engage in dialogue with iran to negotiate a deal that will better serve international peace and security we hear assertions that nobody is planning a regime change in iran and at the same time we hear threats about obliteration and new sanctions are being introduced there were calls that dialogue and then in power
10:02 pm
of well openly they declared the intention to increase military presence in the region such signals which even an experienced cryptologist would struggle to decode which can only bring the situation to a point of no return germany jointly with the remaining participants will continue to work to ensure that iran can receive the economic benefits from sanctions really i won't once again to call for deescalation for dialogue and for full respect the international rules earlier the us president threatened to obliterate iran if tehran attacks anything american that was after iran's president said the white house was suffering from a mental disorder and donald trump later defended his aggressive tweets but measured did you want to send him your tweet message and the message is when they're ready to have to let us know. when they're ready to let us know very simple to negotiate i mean whatever doesn't make any difference whatever they want to do
10:03 pm
i'm already have an exit strategy for iran if war does break out. you're going to need an exit strategy. i don't need thanks in stratagems meanwhile the president of iraq has said he will not allow the u.s. to use his country to launch any kind of military action against iraq. the american troops the coalition troops in iraq again at the invitation of the iraqi government for the specific exclusive mission of fighting isis we do not want to be a staging post foot any hostile action against any of on neighbors including iraq former u.k. army officer charles shoebridge believes america is isolated in its harsh stance on iran. what iraq has said today is largely consistent with what the rest of the world is saying to or rather perhaps more pointedly what the rest of the world isn't saying even britain. the closest one of the closest u.s. allies hunting herself said today that he couldn't imagine or couldn't. the
10:04 pm
circumstances under which the u.k. would join in with the u.s. and in attack on iran it's an indication of the messaging that's going on that perhaps with the exception of maybe his road or countries such as saudi arabia the united states pakistan's pretty isolated in its campaign i think what could be fairly called aggression against iran at the current time so increasingly we're seeing america actually isolated from even its closest allies in its campaign against iran at present. donald trump has also claimed that the real reason the iranian people are suffering is because their government spends all of its money on terror and while the white house continues to insists it's not seeking regime change in iran there is one group it would perhaps like to see take power there are to some regard you have comments. sometimes i get the impression that trump knows what the iranian people want better then the uranian people he has government
10:05 pm
congress talk so much about how the iranian people want this and that this is good for them and matts bad for them it's almost like they know each other obviously the people of iran are great people you know i know many of them i live in new york have been there very much less to have years but you know many are a living in new york and they're fantastic people personally i have my doubts about the iranians trump knows being representative of the entire nation but whatever there is one group of the rain ians that the white house and friends knew very well could even say that powers were jad dean heil or the people's my. of iran will make for sure they've been busy bees lately last friday they got together in washington protested powerlessly calling for regime change and the removal of iran's supreme leader.
10:06 pm
we've always been saying no more no appeasement but change by the iranians and they've shown that in uprisings that it's what the across iran where they chant just like you hear in the background we want regime change in iran and that's that never mind what most the rain ians the ones actually in iran think on the matter but i digress american politicians love these guys mek they were almost called all of them you stand for free iran but you stand for democracy you stand for human rights keep up your fight. those who love and cherish freedom in our country and throughout the world stand with you stand. if you're on the right side of history right in fact the united states has big plans
10:07 pm
for these mujahedeen great expectations they have destined to rule the declared policy of the united states of america should be the overthrow of the malas regime in tehran and that's why the 429 t. we here is celebrating in tehran thank you for. now that introductions are over let me tell you about them or just dean of iran it hasn't been 10 years since they were moved from america's terror lists still in plenty of others make killed anyone who didn't like shootings assassinations bombings targeting police iranian officials civilians just for supporting the government americans both in iran and in america and yet since they renounced violence they would taken off these blacklists the department does not overlook or forget the mujahideen had exposed to acts of
10:08 pm
terrorism including its involvement in beginning of u.s. citizens in iran in the ninety's seventy's and an attack on the us soil in 1902 the department also has serious concerns about the mujahedeen hynix as an organization particularly with regard to the geishas of abuse committed against its own members oh yeah they don't just target others they target each other to the best traditions of every crazy cult human rights watch says abuses carried out against dissident members range from beatings and imprisonment to torture and threats of execution according to a charge w one guy tried to the mujahideen would you believe it for this. humus crime he was kept in solitary confinement for 8 years scientologists you've got nothing on these guys aside from maybe influence the recently released documents
10:09 pm
makers organize dozens of meetings with us politicians interviews features articles with big media begs the question of course where do they get the money it rain ians on to meeting make has almost no support in iran the answer is well they do the odd job according to this alleged the conversation between mek members released by iran . we did our best to blame the iranian regime for the oil tanker blasts the saudis have called maryam rajavi office to follow up on the results to get a conclusion of what has been done and the possible consequences look at it this way whoever is financing them isn't doing it because they're nice they aren't you know the saying the enemy of my enemy is my friend even if he's a murderous crazy cultist apparently unfortunately united states seems to be very fond of using terrorists i mean they meet to using terrorist this is
10:10 pm
a very very dangerous group not because it has any hope of ever being in iran and ruling there but they're very dangerous because they're a cult they are just they do not understand at 1st in human rights and they're terrorists there's no way they can replace any government in iran and that i can i wouldn't bet on it it's not going to happen i don't think america plans it but the americans would like to tell them. so that they would continue their activities not because they have being able to we know with the iranians to their side. why the u.k. has suspended exports of crowd control weapons to hong kong as follows a recent police crackdown on protests against an extradition bill in the chinese territory the british foreign secretary explained the move in part. but we remain very concerned with the situation in hong kong and i raise those concerns with the
10:11 pm
chief executive on the 12th of june i today the hong kong essay our government to establish a robust independent investigation into the violent scenes that we saw and we will not issue any further export licenses for crowd control equipment to hong kong unless we are satisfied that concerns raised on human rights and fundamental freedoms have been fairly addressed the freeze on sales of police equipment. comes just days after the u.k. was forced to suspend new weapons exports to saudi arabia to show dubinsky takes a closer look at the 2 cases. it comes just a week after the u.k. government also announced that it would not be allowing any new licenses of exports of arms sales to saudi arabia and to its coalition partners in the war in yemen that followed a decision by the court of appeal here in the u.k. that said that those arms sales had been a norful again citing possible violations when it comes to human rights now despite
10:12 pm
that decision by the court and despite the fact that the government says it will look at that decision the prime minister to resign made the u.k. government will look to appeal that decision we continue to operate one of the most robust arms export control regimes the world. take our responsibilities on arms export licensing very seriously we're disappointed that the court found against the government on one ground and we will be seeking permission to appeal this judgement so 2 cases of possible human rights violations let's took a look at the 2 together now let's start with hong kong 3 weeks of protests tear gas being used rubber bullets being used accusations of police brutality and dozens injured but not a single person killed as a direct result on the other hand you have the conflict in yemen which the saudi led coalition is involved in at the moment and what we have
10:13 pm
a close to 100000 deaths over 4 years the majority of them many say are civilians so what's the difference between these 2 different scenarios on the ground well some would say what you really need to do is to follow the money and when you look at what the worth is of those sales to hong kong it's apparently only around $1800000.00 pounds to the u.k. economy on the other hand in yemen armed. sales since 2015 are worth more than 4700000000 pounds it's a huge difference and some might question whether it's easier to take the moral high ground when there isn't much of an impact to the u.k. economy and that's what this comes down to a not really a stance when it comes to human rights violations. political analyst chris bambery told us that humanitarian concerns took a back seat for the u.k. government when it comes to selling weapons. britain along with western governments
10:14 pm
is very selective about those that it seeks out the situation with the arm sales to days very different because the decision of the hong kong was one mead by the british government in the question of the arms sales to saudi and it's called wish in our eyes in the war against yemen this forward a court hearing it was brought by the campaign against the arms trade and in and what we have here is the british be forced to the british government forced to cease these arms sales to saudi arabia and the others but not wanting to do that one iota i've been the british will do everything they can to overturn the court's decision and or to find a way around it because this alliance with saudi arabia is fundamentally important to the british to bring great britain p.l.c. they will do everything to maintain it even at the cost of 100000 yemeni dates. the german government says it has lost a track of around 160 extremists who travel to syria and iraq to join islamic state
10:15 pm
art is pure all over has been. the best estimate suggests at least a 1000 people left germany to go and join an isis and following a question from a member of the bundestag to the interior ministry it's been revealed that in 160 cases those identified as extremists have disappeared without a trace occasionally such individuals could have succeeded in escaping and disappearing in an attempt to alleviate fears of isis terrorists living among german society the federal government has said that they are convinced that it would be extremely unlikely that anyone who had traveled to join isis would be able to come back to germany and live by. noticed however the m.p. that 1st raised concerns says she's not convinced considering the surest fragmented protection of the easy external borders it is particularly worrying that the
10:16 pm
federal government has a patent taken no further measures to prevent the uncontrolled reentry of isis militants 2 thirds of those who have left the country have german citizenship this presents another issue what to do with those who want to return to germany well in the case of isis supporter of. currently being held in a kurdish jail his lawyers are suing the german government they say has a responsibility to bring him home from our point of view the federal government is constitutionally obliged to bring fabien back to germany it has not fulfilled this obligation for political reasons the lawyers maintain that there is a german constitutional obligation for the government to protect the fundamental rights of their citizens even when they are held in foreign nations and his younger brother who's location is unknown traveled from the central german city of castle to syria to join isis in 2014 their father says he was assured that would be
10:17 pm
released if berlin requested it however he believes the germans turning a blind eye to the situation the german government would prefer it if my children on the other islamist were to just disappear forever is the thing it isn't that easy for the german government to intervene even if they wanted to and there is no indication that they really do germany currently has no diplomatic relations with syria and the federal government doesn't recognize the kurdish y p g group who is holding 5 b.n. gary hart in the case of the at least 160 people who travelled from germany to join isis and remain unaccounted for or berlin doesn't know whether they are alive or dead whether they remain in the middle east or whether they've come back here and if they've come back here whether they pose any potential threat. society the german government and the secure the secret service intelligence services seem to know exactly how many people left germany to go to syria and to iraq and to fight
10:18 pm
with one of those armed groups and suddenly they say now we lost track of them germany seems to have been sleeping officially they didn't say a lot about this and certainly they have no real policy about us this is why nothing is happening now and that discussion is being put forward through the media or through the facts on the ground they will be forced to do one thing or the other eventually and our society is not really aware and cannot really imagine what these people are might be up to we need a public discussion about this without stigmatizing without being racist or islamophobia gk but the german society and the politicians have to be more realistic about the threats. facebook and france have struck a deal to hand over data relating to hate speech and possible terrorist activity from the online platform of his policy or ports. facebook has agreed to give up dr
10:19 pm
to the french authorities in cases where it will help identify those users on its platform that are engaging in hate speech this is the 1st time that the media giant has of me to hand over identifying information regarding its uses that are not related to violence or terrorism cases now frances digital affair is the minister has applauded the news this is huge news it means that the judicial process will be able to run normally it's really very important they're only doing it for france now it follows a number of meetings that were held earlier in the month between the french president emmanuel mccrone and the founder of facebook mark zuckerberg and also meetings between facebook's global affairs head and french ministers however a spokesperson for facebook says that this does not mean that the french authorities are being given carte blanche and that the media giants will scrutinize each and every request from the french authorities for basic information in
10:20 pm
criminal hate speech cases he also says that in those situations where they feel that the authorities request is too broad or inconsistent with human rights or in some way is legally and sound they will push back at the moment facebook uses artificial intelligence to identify hate speech and it defines hate speech as a direct attack on a person based on their ethnicity their national origin their sexual orientation their gender they religious affiliation and they raced. our sister channel or to france and spoke with the co-founder of a french media outlet who says the definition of hate speech is open to interpretation. the whole problem is about how we understand the terms hate speech and offensive content that's the problem if they want to include racist anti-semitic content content which is offensive to a certain sex religion they will need to define it and understand what's behind it otherwise. he will be included as an offense which is not so you need to be
10:21 pm
extremely careful about what will be included in the concepts of rhetoric that incites hatred and offensive content and who will decide this is a man your microphone said this will be a working group in which there will be a french controller and representatives from facebook they will work together to define it or. it top dutch engineering university has triggered a massive debate debate over workplace discrimination after establishing an academic recruitment policy exclusively for women and will only be offered a job if no suitable female candidates can be found. to attract female employees a fellowship at eindhoven university of technology will boost research funds 510-0000 euros to spend on research and mentoring the institution hopes to fill around 150 percent over the next 5 years in an attempt to correct what i told them calls a gender imbalance we attach great importance to equal respect and opportunities
10:22 pm
for women and men we are aware that we are suffering from an implicit gender bias we're now using the fact that plans to expand our academic stuff considerably in the coming years can be used as a means to make a big step forward in one fell swoop earlier on the channel we discussed of the move with our guests and media commentator gina loudon and political activist kate smyth wait. inequality it's a self reciprocating process inequality inequality breeds inequality because if young women don't see women in positions of power doing the jobs that they might want to do it slows their progress through without women at the top it's harder for women to break through so they're just taking this opportunity when it comes to discriminating specifically against men that's one problem i have with this but secondly and i think perhaps even even more more imperative is the fact that from
10:23 pm
this point on if a woman has a high powered job at that particular institution everyone's going to know that she had special advantages to get there honestly right now when i see men in positions of power i think most of them are only there because the system is totally set up to favor men i don't look around even you know the government big companies working with around the world when i see their board of directors and it's white guys white guys white guys white guys i don't think i bet those are the 10 guys best qualified to run this company as a woman in a male dominated field who has managed to do ok despite discrimination that i've definitely incurred as many women have i would still rather i would still rather fight and win then have a participation trophy which is what this is tantamount to yeah you know you've got you've done great but maybe you deserve to do brilliantly maybe you deserve an even better job than the one you've got maybe you deserve a better salary than the one you've got i think when i look around there are lots of women i know who have overcome obstacles but i don't feel like you know they've
10:24 pm
overcome obstacles but have they really reached their full full potential no you would have gone much further if you hadn't had to spend so much time and energy overcoming these obstacles but but i don't think that we do any groups anything in playing identity politics especially where we're shutting down an entire group of people just to give something to another group of people i think it sends a message that those people somehow weren't competent or nothing could earn it. i think that's very dangerous for women i think it's very dangerous if you're talking about you know hiring a doctor for a hospital i don't want to go to hospital and and look around and then not be a doctor but this is an academic institution and much as i love reading scientific research papers i have never woken up in the morning that i must have 600 milligrams of scientific research paper or i'm going to die this is not the kind of job which cannot possibly be left open for 6 months in fact it's very very common that these kind of academic positions are left open for a lot much longer than that but k k what if what if the research they're doing is
10:25 pm
for example on cancer or something and it's it's now postponed for 6 months how many people are going to die because that research didn't get out there in time because we were all obsessed with making sure once but special group was equally represented i say let the best people in that hold on a minute at the outset at least have the positions and i believe that women will be equally represented in that group because i think women are perfectly competent to get there we know when it comes to academic research that it's really really important to have a wide base of people doing that research and there are lots of instances actually in the past where we've seen research being done by all male groups and when we look at the research when it's published we realize that it's not as widely a political as it could be because it's failed to take into account female viewpoints and female experiences so you know how many lives are being lost because research into all sorts of aspects of human life is being undertaken 34 and a half minutes us will be back with your headlines or watch your children national strips.
