tests conducted by the machines in facebook's facility did determine that sarin the nerve agent was there now this isn't officially confirmed by federal authorities that are on the scene but that's what chu out of 3 tests from the machine of facebook did indicate so based on that the 4 buildings have been evacuated and we understand that there are 2 individuals who are at risk of having possibly been exposed to the nerve agent so federal authorities are on the scene the 4 buildings have been evacuated will be waiting to hear what comes next for confirmation if this is indeed the serra nerve agent if anyone else has been exposed so waiting for more details at the moment but it appears that the mail receiving facility in menlo park california has been evacuated 4 buildings in all as we receive word of a potential chemical attack we would of course be bringing you all the latest on this developing news story for now thank you for those details. making

history donald trump has become the finest sitting u.s. president who went to north korea and the north korean media on trump himself the meeting an amazing event the reaction back home was funnel muted if not outright critical. vague talk about talks while kim continues to develop nuclear warheads missiles seems like this gigantic p.r. stunt in trenches and embellish is authoritarian rule without any real meaningful strategy for denuclearization out president shouldn't be squandering american influence on photo ops and exchanging love letters with a ruthless dictator instead we should be dealing with north korea through a principle diplomacy that promotes us securitate defense how allies and uphold human rights i have no problem with him sitting down with kim to noon in north korea or anyplace else but what's going to happen tomorrow and the next day if we're going to bring peace to this world we need to move forward diplomatically not just a photo opportunities. after crossing the demarcation line between the 2 koreas with

its counterpart kim jong il chance that a lot of progress has been made during that talks but functions against pyongyang remain in place our senior correspondent dr gaddy of explains whether based in all ik meeting it affects the almost total economic blockade of north korea. for all the buzz hype and the coverage denuclearization was going nowhere it had stalled again despite all the summits all the handshakes perhaps what it needed was something crazy something radical. like. the 1st sitting u.s. president to visit north korea who would have thought the world's most militarized

border to boot they shook hands again and talked kim jong un and trump trying to revive denuclearization efforts that were all but clinically dead made some progress with the start small form team. to find common ground little things that could lead to bigger ones and spoiling everything and as is tradition now those sanctions this thing on memory or something or look i'm looking forward to taking the more i don't like sanctions being on his country i'm looking forward but the sanctions remain useful but at some point during the negotiation things can happen and that's what we'll be talking about promises promises it was sanctions the torpedoed the last summit and the state says trump until there is verified denuclearization progress however long that takes and that's what bugs north korea

how can 2 sides have meaningful honest discussions when one of them is on its knees being strangled by the other this is a manifestation of the most extreme hostile acts by the united states all these speak clearly to the fact that the world dream of the united states to bring us to our knees by means of sanctions and pressure has not changed at all but grows even more undisguised now factor in those thousands of u.s. troops stationed in south korea with guns trained in the north and you'll understand why trust is well it isn't their nose it's history too many nations that have gone through denuclearization with then invaded or bombed by the us i doubt kim jong un wants to join that club america fears north korea is just needed in the month to get out from under those sanctions decades of

talks and the kids have stuck by the nukes we don't expect. to tell the truth that's where we're going to verify any denuclearization that takes place that's why we will ensure that we see actual on the ground on the ground outcomes we're not going to take anyone's word for it it's not all doom. and gloom though this is an ancient conflict by modern standards and this is never going to be solved overnight they need to talk and that's what they're doing and they seem to get it now that you start small and build up the big and hopefully sometime soon the world's most militarized dangerous board the world well i bet on the become any less tense but at least they'll be no nuclear standoff to worry about i think it's likely to help them it will show that at least superficially he is trying to denuclearize the world a lot he's actually a serious even if the superficial aspect tweeting tweeting. going on there

also a lot of people who support something the state department lot of people i'm not talking about goldstein's of this world i think he probably needs those and there's a sort of union surely world he can control people like that so trump is in the middle of times right in the middle where i don't think he's doing a bad job however seattle for it looks but it is historic i mean stepping over that 3936 parallel for take some guts i have to say. chaotic scenes in hong kong riot police of 5 take out as protest event of the occupation and found a lesson at the central chamber of parliament writers got into the building after smashing a glass door with a trolley despite being pepper sprayed by offices. i. was .

it's monday marks 22 years since hong kong's handover from britain to china but the anniversary has been overshadowed by weeks of demonstrations against a new extradition bill and peru. police response to the rallies if passed the bill would allow beijing to seek the extradition of those of vick convicted for serious crimes from hong kong to mainland china supporters of the bill say it will stop the territory from becoming a refuge for criminals however many fair it will lead to political persecution from beijing and undermine the area's autonomy. since the foreign secretary has waded in with an anniversary statement warning china to respects hong kong's all tanami but beijing reminded him to stop meddling junk food from. hong kong. and this internal of no foreign country has the right to that of the were urged

britain to know its boysen to stop interfering in any way in hong kong matters and to focus on the respect stability rather than the opposite. shared bethel's on the u.k.'s reaction. what jimmy hundreds storing of course is because the election as the prime minister e's approaching and then he need to show the folders and the british public that he's doing the right thing here and he's trying to be the john to creation and on hong kong with china so this is basically i believe has to do with the domestic politics in the u.k. more people more foreign secretaries more presidents more prime ministers in the world should actually express their concern about what is happening in hong kong about what china is trying to do through the people of hong kong because china is

technically trying to impose a system of governance devol that they impose on the chinese people play pro in hong kong very rightly opposing that. and your commission chief john claude lanka has again suspended a bloc summit and the leaders of member states global level here should get the top jobs the talks in brussels we're into that 20th our europe correspondent paid to all of the house. well a number of big jobs in the european institutions need to be decided in the nearest future really but the biggest job among them in the one that's causing the most consternation when it comes to putting forward a candidate is european commission president it's who will take over from john claude younker and what we understand is that that is not happening at the moment because of a split within the conservative bloc in the european council of the european council's made up of the their heads of government of the 28 e.u.

member states they decide on who they want to nominate the candidate backed candidates then put forward to the european parliament who vote on it they can't get past the nomination stage at the moment young himself part of the process of searching for his replacement wasn't giving much away to the press. monitors of. someone. and certainly wasn't holding back the french president was well visibly angry at times when he spoke to the press he said it was embarrassing that they couldn't come up with a solution in the e.u. 2028 in the european council and he said that if they were in this position perhaps the whole system needed to be changed it would be said to me today has ended in failure we were unable to reach any agreement something i think reflects very badly on the council and on europe well when it comes to who is causing the problems who

is causing the problems with getting this deal across it's really a group that's being led by poland and by italy well i'm glad merkel had initially . for the job of european commission president she then switched her allegiance when she realized that wasn't going to happen and had backed the timmermans plan however she said its progress was being made but this it was a very difficult road ahead still some of the ways. things are going in the talks will be easy and that's putting it mildly the e.u. parliament with its 2 big factions is fixated on the principle of top candidates and yet the biggest force the european peoples party has no majority and so donald to school had a difficult task today who will try to be constructive so the european council the heads of government of the $28.00 member states of the european union will reconvene in brussels on tuesday 11 am as they try and work out who should be the

next president of the european commission plenty still to go yet when it comes to who will take over from john claude younger still anybody's guess. in germany 3 men have been charged in connection with the sexual abuse of more than 40 children aged between 3 and 142 of the suspects have pleaded guilty the abuse reportedly took place over a number of years at a campsite in a small german town of luther between them the men are accused of some $450.00 cases of child abuse of cloth origins are being blamed for failing to act earlier. most of the abuse was by a single suspect identified only as andrei of v.

he is accused of almost 300 sex crimes against 23 children their friends is a believed to have been committed in 1000 $908.00 and then between 2008 and last year the police are accused of inaction despite evidence of abuse for years is. also blamed for letting evidence disappear back in february they admitted losing almost a terabyte of evidence meanwhile one of the children's representatives ses the victims were questioned in an approach an appropriate way for their age and the authorities themselves acknowledge there was a police failure called in this situation a debacle the region's interior minister says this was worse than negligence and should never happen again we spoke to one of the victim's lawyers about the mistakes made. we have seen numerous flaws the most terrifying is the disappearance of $155.00 c.d.'s from a secure police station we're talking about the c.d.'s which were found at the campsite in the main suspects trailer it turned out that the people with prior

convictions for possession of child pornography were working at that police station and still are as for the interrogation of the children they were questioned at the police station but this is not what should have happened there are specific ways in which children can be questioned and it involves support from social services and the establishment of a trusting relationship it should not happen as an interview at a police station if my opinion matters were allowed to escalate because of the careless approach to information on child pornography and paedophilia and the department's employees like of awareness it is simply unacceptable for a department to react in this manner and then try to cover up its own negligence. u.s. soldiers being abandoned by their own commanders in a war zone for topic of a new book by u.s. army veteran roger hill and times old dog company it details how u.s. troops in afghanistan were essentially made scapegoats by the top brass i spoke with captain hill about his war experience. the rules of engagements are outdated

and when i say rules of engagement i mean the law of war the law of armed conflict don't necessarily account for an enemy force that doesn't reciprocate them the geneva conventions concerning how we fight in that in how we conduct ourselves in warfare are written under the idea that the enemy will reciprocate how we fight and how we conduct ourselves in combat and the enemy does in fact reciprocate and find that's that's one thing all together but however we're fighting in a situation that's unprecedented for example with isis and the enemy. does not fight according to those conventions and so we're trying to force an undue burden on our military service members to conduct themselves when there is such a deficit or disparity between how they fight and the enemy's forces are fighting for you and finds the u.s. and allies in afghanistan responsible for most of the valiant deaths in the 1st 3

months of this year then the taliban and isis together. isn't your call to further relax plans are going to vote against enemy combatants highly irresponsible i think the the ideal behind why we're overseas in iraq and afghanistan is what needs to be questioned i think a lot of times we get fixated on individual instances of civilian casualties and persecuting military service members for the collateral that's created however the type of fight that we've been forced to engage in there is a large possibility or risk for inevitable collateral to include civilian casualties so you can't place an undue burden on the service members on the ground when that collateral is created and if you do then the people that you need to bring alongside them when you do prosecute them needs to be the politicians in the senior military that sent them over there to begin with is that how you'll book you don't company it was redacted i can you tell us how and why yes so the pentagon

has an office a security review. and they claim on their website that they can turn a manuscript around in 2 months and that is to review it for sensitive material and then get back to the authors with their recommendations on what material should be removed or changed they kept our company for a year in the content that they redacted 95 percent of it according to the experts that we hired to review the manuscript outside of the pentagon was actually on federally sponsored websites that's us going to government federally sponsored websites. and one expected to become britain's next prime minister has taken issue with remarks made by vladimir putin boris johnson has vowed to show that the president was wrong to note that liberalism is now obsolete the favorite of the u.k.'s conservative party leadership contest insists that brags that it will prove his point his own party boyko with more details. ever since that demand putin

declared that liberalism is obsolete in that interview ahead of the g 20 summit in japan there's been plenty of discussion about what liberalism actually means there are plenty of those that are keen to counter the russian president's hypothesis one such figure is boris johnson the favorite to be the u.k.'s next prime minister he's written a lengthy article in the telegraph where he's defended liberalism in the u.k. saying that it's made the country a fair a prosperous and a meritocratic society and he contrasts that with the way that he views the kremlin and in one part of the article he really lays into the russian political system but the conclusion of boris's defense of liberalism is that the u.k. has to leave the e.u. by the 31st of october otherwise the u.k. risks looking like an illiberal and undemocratic country one of the problems with

the e.u. as it has developed over the past 45 years of our membership is that it has begun seriously to undermine the fundamental characteristic of a liberal democracy that the people should have the power at elections to remove those who make the rules the e.u. system makes this impossible if we want to uphold liberal values we must leave by october the 31st and we will say from boris's perspective the u.k. is a liberal democracy and to prove that it's got to leave the e.u. by that how low we deadline now the european union doesn't consider itself any less of a liberal democracy than the u.k. i have to say that i strongly disagree with the main argument. that liberalism is obsolete. we are here. also to. really and when you will call the defendant from most liberal democracy

donald tusk so already complain that the u.k. is wasting all the extra time it was granted in april for that brags that extension and i suspect he might not agree with boris johnson's idea that the u.k. should leave the e.u. a.s.a.p. in order to prove that it's a liberal democracy and what it's exposed is that everyone's definition of the concept of liberalism and has to be different and that may be due to their personal political objectives to use hard work welcoming me gratian and over the country forward but since the last couple of years since that refrain the camera is going down so i'm here for 47 years and i believe seen this on. so a lot of things but we don't have the right person coming out and you actually kind contradicts what we're doing of our word ins and what we say and when it came to

and it came to the whole opinion on what's going on it was full of lies and fake for misses so when it comes to liberalism is that really what. did i don't think is going to prove anything i think if anything is going to truth how incompetent a lot of the people sitting in the top are. highest in eons have reacted furiously of top u.s. diplomats took part in the opening of a tourist find doug and a palestinian homes in east jerusalem u.s. ambassador to israel david friedman and donald trump's peace envoy jason green plants were filmed and there is a outtake lee hammering the wall leading to the program which road site as part of the opening ceremony the tunnel was opened without the permission of palestinian residents some of whom reportedly had to leave their houses due to the excavation. this is not a u.s. ambassador it is an extremist as ray was with green work also the digging underneath so we're powerless. town these really are trying to legalize colonial

practices in jerusalem by using a religious cover friedman and greenblatt already to freak history for this colonial purpose. the us middle east peace envoy has responded that palestine should recognize history and stop pretending it isn't true gideon levy columnist at israel's haaretz newspaper sais such behavior by american officials is dangerous. the current american is in its relation. to putin and to their long policy of the united states in the middle east to totally ignore the international law to talk to league nor all kind of resilience of international institutions supporting the settlements of balding go to patients and once they decided to go on the slide you're old the sky's the limit now they're digging the world they will build settlements by their serves. it's really the gold who

very dark places this kind of policy it pushes israel to do to become even more violent and brutal told the palestinians instead of restraining israel. as pride month concludes around the world the l g b t community in the u.s. is divided competing rallies are being held and there are claims the main event has become too commercialized the reclaim pride coalition held a separate march in new york with what it called no corporate float no police it says the official event no longer addresses the political struggles of the community under the trumpet ministration meanwhile a new report suggests a sharp decline in acceptance of gay and lesbian people among young americans. according to the survey the number of young people who felt comfortable interacting with the l g b t community fell last year while most felt uncomfortable about a relative coming out more americans aged 18 to 34 also didn't like the idea of gay

issues being taught in school however the acceptance rates rose among people aged 72 and over we got reaction to the decline in tolerance from the community representative and from the author of the survey. least munisteri experiencing could be leading to the survey ocean it's a new news to take time for people to understand our job is to educate about nonconformity. we counter the narrative that young people are more progressive intolerant these numbers are very alarming in signal a looming social crisis in discrimination. brandon straka ses radicals are turning people against the community our community has been overtaken by a very sort of extremist very political faction that has tried to essentially politicize everything under the umbrella. there is sort of this more extremist progressive

faction that has really overreached i think they've made a lot of people uncomfortable i think a lot of people on the aisle didn't take community feel uncomfortable once it is what out in to be going through that is going to be the atmosphere that you are a racist or bigot or hate group or whatever it lives and be on the internet and so when other people in the future will use that against you to say well you can't come here i'm here we want to live here because there's always there's already been in the south recently. we didn't liberal party has elected a new leader but it is a rising political star who could change the party's fortunes now because the boony has however shocked many with have views on he's done of course he explains for some. might have seemed perfect to lead sweden's liberal party she's black she's an

immigrant but actually she's pretty inconvenient at least for a number of her colleagues who are leaving in protest. now that i thought it toler i'm leaving the liberal stuff to 52 years as a member i've always been a social liberal and will remain so but with a new direction there is no place for me it is with great sadness that the fundamental social liberal values that have been so important to me in my political career for many years and now it's risk of being a voted in favor of a credit down invest fiji policy criminal care and perhaps even in social policy areas it's all because sunni is just a little too far to the right sure she's been to gay pride parades even service sweden's minister for gender equality but when it comes to multiculturalism she said she wants to quote bury it in 2006 the swedish m.p. proposed job ban for girls under 15 and exams to stop female genital mutilation the book she authored shines a spotlight on the threat on or violence poses to women and now so one has even

taken to criticizing sweden's handling of migration it has been shown that about half of those who applied for asylum in sweden in recent years do not have the right criteria for asylum the finances that should be located abroad remain in sweden because young migrants aris coming here thinking that they can probably stay anyway despite her controversial views on migration you'd think protecting females both young and old would be a platform anyone could get behind especially when the party's unity is so fragile sunni's prime opponent even threw in the towel just to keep the peace my aim was always to unite the party but in a situation where many seem to want a different political orientation than the one i was seeking it would be receiving a split if i'd continued my candidacy and while his decision may have saved the party in the short term its supporters on the internet are not convinced i can't stand her i must not tolerate what she's saying she's the worst races in sweden

despite her skin color. i've always thought the because the boonies too far to the right to be liberal now she's showing it openly this cannot be the way forward. because problem is that she wants to open the door for racists so they can form more is really a right wing government somebody might take all the boxes when it comes to the liberal party's commitment to tolerance but for some people there's just no pleasing them there's all the world news stories for you for this hour but we will be back in 30 minutes with all the latest to say that.
