6. the u.s. launches a new strategy to counter so called malign kremlin influence provoking harsh reaction from moscow and the russian propaganda tell you all about it plus. your boy. alex a 6 year old boy in the u.s. state of texas is caught up in a custody battle between his divorced mother of father who can't agree which gender the child should be identified. i consider this to be child abuse and the sexual mutilation of children on a on an industrial scale so it makes me feel terrible i can't believe that a mother would do this. for an embarrassing leak of

diplomatic cables describing double times of illustration is inept clumsy and dysfunctional. by the late monday morning here in moscow just 10 11 am kevin no immediate world news update thanks for your time countering the line kremlin influence that's how the u.s. agency for international development has called a new strategy to help european countries avoid outside meddling and reduce the dependence on russian energy moscow's branded anti russian propaganda our senior correspondent takes us through the plan. usaid has unveiled a new plan a strategy officially aimed at boosting the resilience of part of the nations an officially it appears to mean giving lots and lots of money to anyone that vocally

and demonstrably doesn't like russia politicians businessmen media i mean it's in the name countering my line kremlin influence plan. these efforts will include creating tools for reform minded leaders and civil society voices to tackle corrupt government practices that kremlin agents often selectively exploit for moscow strategic benefit 1st off the us apparently wants to cut out russia's voice i mean the aims aren't exactly veg what could they mean preventing russia others from meddling in elections ok preventing russia from lobbying for its interests negotiating not ok it works both ways i mean we know what some of the reform minded leaders and civil society voices in the us are like. us eats funding will build the capacity of indigenous media

to provide trusted independent news and information sources should be fine and all of america's own independent news and media weren't viewed as biased by its own people trust in the media is still a business americans believe it's biased it's even worse for online media by the way remember when facebook hired death checa linked to the us government poynter institute for media studies to filter out unreliable sources and they ended up filtering out opposing political views before they were caught at my point why don't they spend that cash on making america's own media but leave a ball. to reduce your opinion regis dependency on russia u.s.

sees assistance will include working with individual states to create effective legal and regulatory frameworks and assisting them to do and will function in local and regional energy markets. there it is the crux of it hiding in plain sight american shale over russian gas more expensive more cumbersome more political yet it's full of freedom freedom gas they said that i have no idea how they do it with a straight face. increasing export capacity from the freeport l.n.g. project is critical to spreading freedom gas throughout the world by giving america's allies a diverse and affordable source of clean energy with the u.s. in another year of record setting natural gas production i'm pleased that the department of energy is doing what it can to promote an efficient regulatory system that allows for molecules of u.s. freedom to be exported to the world it's a whole package money to the media which cries russian wolf money to politicians

who get the american way money to lobbyists and get a nice little kickback from selling american gas and moscow of course isn't happy the term countering is a clumsy attempt to conceal the aggressive offensive approach this conception is blatantly aimed at propagating risa phobia in the world especially in neighboring countries to russia on our side we have proven multiple times that we are open to a stop wishing constructive cooperation with the us on a basis of equality of rights and the consideration of mutual interests however malicious and the russian propaganda by washington we strikes but lobel domination cancels out these efforts it's a great pity by the way saving best the last you know why us aid was expelled from russia 7 years ago why for an election meddling fiasco that for that became a big thing now isn't that ironic unfortunately

a mentality took took hold of the establishment in washington early after the demise of the soviet union that there could only be one global superpower in the united the united states had to have had germany over the entire world and not just russia russia specifically but not just russia china iran venezuela or any country that doesn't come crawling to on hands and knees in front of washington and to kiss the ring is regarded as a quote threat. and since russia is the foremost military power that is not under the control of the united states and that's why we've seen things like the expansion of nato and something like this which is kind of a i and information analogue to nato expansion which is to try to ensure domination of europe and to isolate russia as much as possible. story next about a 6 year old boy in the u.s.

state of texas who's caught up in a bitter custody battle between his divorced mother and father and the fact that his parents can't agree on which gender the child should be identified as is making the case even more complicated if you're a boy right now. carol so when with his mother the boy known as james lives as a girl called luna since expressed interest in wearing girl's clothes the mother began referring to him exclusively as an even role the child in school under the female name. spoke for more on this to james his father jeff younger a tip off you can watch the full version if you fancy just over an hour's time on this channel i took it very seriously because i had to some information what i was still living with with and george wallace my my ex-wife had been putting him into timeouts and saying things like the monsters only eat boys ready and some odd things like that so when i heard this i took it very seriously. he said mommy tells

me i'm a girl. and i would ask him you know do you look like a girl and say no but mommy tells me i'm a girl i just wanted to verify and i sent her a text and you know are you actually telling james that he's a girl and she's just replied simply yes and then refused to talk to me about it you know he's never presented himself as a girl to me ever and he factor with me he violently rejects any female identity he won't wear female clothes he won't even wear boys' brief underwear because he says it's too much like girls underwear for the father is long lived fighting for his son to be treated as a boy he's now been accused to buzz ex-wife of abusing the child for not offending him as transgender and for cutting his head she'll be temporary orders that i'm under before i go to final trial actually do allow me to address him as james and use male pronouns but i cannot do that in front of 3rd parties who know him as a girl so basically i can't go to school i keep him away from any friends he might have at school that know him as a girl and in my home he's known as james and i use male pronouns what i'm

prohibited from doing right now is trying to convince him that he's actually a boy is a boy when he's with you and he what forced to dress like a girl or does he dress like a girl but my his own will when he's with a mom. i believe he dresses by his own will when he's with his mother i just don't think he believes the show love him if he's a boy look i consider this to be child abuse and the sexual mutilation of children on a on an industrial scale so it makes me feel terrible i can't believe that a mother would do this to us on this campus as more broadly supposed to debate whether or not children should be allowed to change their gender at such a young age social just frank furedi believes parents shouldn't impose gender choices on their offspring i think it's wrong for parents to become preoccupied by gender identity it's not something that the vast majority of children ever think about very much it's not something that they experiment with to begin with i

think that the danger today is is that we have a very strong political and cultural pressure on the part of parents to be much more relaxed about the boundaries that used to exist between boys and girls and as the boundaries are questioned so a lot of parents get confused. u.k. foreign office has ordered an inquiry into the recent leak of sensitive diplomatic cables penned by britain's ambassador to washington in a series of bombshell remarks president donald trump's white house is described as annette and dysfunctional among many other unflattering remarks by the diplomat we don't really believe this administration is going to become substantially more normal less dysfunctional less and predictable less faction riven less diplomatically clumsy and inept. it's more likely that he was never fully on board and that he was worried about how this apparent reversal of his 2016 campaign

promises would look come 2020 at the next presidential election the documents were 1st published by britain's daily mail newspaper over the weekend in the span the last 2 years kim darrick has been the u.k. ambassador to the us is 2016 he was tasked with compiling briefs on donald trump's personality imposible leadership style months before he entered the white house the interim sit back at the ambassador's assessment of his administration pretty quickly and. without a doubt. embarrassing leads to all mixed reactions from senior british politicians to this was a personal view it's not the view of the british government it's not my view we continue to think under president trump of us administration is not just highly

effective but the best possible friend of the united kingdom on the international stage i would be quite careful about what you say which is on a personal basis in those cables because it is all very well talking about the substance of the relationship the policies but i think some of that may in retrospect to be regarded as unwise i think it is very important that ambassadors give honest unvarnished advice to their country and it is disgraceful that it has been leaked further the global policy institute a london told us that the next british prime minister will likely recall the past and now in a bid to try to contain the damage. london would like to. close it down i think they probably will have the opportunity in a few weeks when there is a new prime minister installed in number 10 downing street and he will undoubtedly take the opportunity to recall. him appoint a new bass that. time and again shown itself to be up to the craven.

american we're so we're getting is that however. little british policy the core of the british interests what it's really matters who the politicians in wire for policy makers in life or is at all times and under all circumstances. keep in the united states even if it's the it's a totally different mental to british and. a staple of american satire mad magazine will no longer be a permanent fixture on the newsstands we can report is going to seems publishing new content and the iconic publications monthly issues will now be replaced by then the especial instead sounds good taylor next this morning takes a closer look at whether the media's become just a bit too sensitive these days to a joke. that once existed this surreal concept it was shopped vicious at

times and wholly irreverent it was called satire and it's dead or rather it's been killed off to 67 years of ruthlessly mocking the wild a bedrock of american comedy the cult satirical magazine mad is shutting up shop from august it's just going to recycle old content and put a new cover on it this is a publication ingrained in western culture with its child human comics like spy versus spy and even its own board games are doing so. it's a game it's truly. not took no prisoners its creator said it was that to toughen up the younger generation show life's ugly side it was also indiscriminate parroting politicians on both sides of the spectrum we pride ourselves on the fact that we have no philosophy we are all philosophy we are all politics we don't take sides we have no more scruples we have no say.

because we have no rhythm and i'm about to set up a 952 models of publications for a different generation it's lost its place in an era where offense taken victimhood have become new norms cartoonists now are gagged by hyper sensitive readers and profit driven media moguls cracking jokes is a risky business nowadays as the new york times found out after a jewish themed illustration while went a little wrong and it scrapped all political cartoons and just in case anyone missed its 1st apology it did not the one you know to be on the safe side we are deeply sorry for the publication of an anti semitic political cartoon last thursday in the print edition of the new york times that circulates outside of the united states and we are committed to making sure nothing like this ever happens in. such imagery is always dangerous and at a time when anti-semitism is on the rise worldwide it's all the more unacceptable

and sometimes you just need a helping hand in pacing offense for example instagram decided to move this cartoon from a political account on to the general ban of that it was offensive the account was also put on notice told it could be shut down at any moment being too political can make you a voodoo doll for social justice warriors but can also cross the line when it comes to your manager just as veteran cartoonist rob rogers who'd worked for 25 years for one outlet he found dozens of his cartoons rejected the severance package way too on his desk editors give you reasons no they didn't give me any reason at all so you'd have to. but the common theme in all the ones that have been rejected is that 90 percent of them have something to do with trump so so there's a clear pattern that they were trying to sort of tamp down the voice that i was

having about you know being critical of trump but it's a very realistic spin on trump's catchphrase you're fired because making fun of reality has become a minefield now shortly after matt was set up in the fifty's it's created to have to testify in congress on the negative affects comics were having on the youth of america consultant dr spoke at the hair and worried about whether this innocent generation was prepared for the horrors of satara it opinion. without any reasonable doubt. any reservations. at anybody. and people have been. getting fact that many of them and out of it perhaps they knew what was coming but for the magazine it seems society has had the last laugh we're in a an era of political correctness from a private perspective you have the right to censor anything you want if you don't want pornography or you know fatal videos on your on your platform that's totally

fine when the government starts censoring i find that a bit alarming the idea that some authority is going to determine what's safe for us to hear and what's not safe is ridiculous expressing different political opinions is the best thing you can do it's important that people say what they believe and that's why no matter what the opinion is i'd rather the person say it and believe what they're saying and be able to say it so everyone can look at that and hear grit and and judge it for themselves. president rosewarne around to be careful often announced plans were exonerated you ready i'm in richmond program and suppose that that was a load of the 2050 nuclear agreement. 143105 so is the sounds of the road this morning thrones already considered to be in

breach of the landmark deal after it passed the 300 kilogram uranium stockpile limit also increased the enrichment count beyond the crucial 3.6 percent a small step towards maybe getting 2 nuclear power stations up to capacity officials there also recently ruled out further dialogue with washington too unless sanctions are lifted now iran's deadline for has now passed that up yesterday with europe only able to provide limited relief from the effects of the financial penalties as part of the agreement signed 4 years ago the united states you may recall agreed to ease the sanctions on iran for that to run agreed to curb its nuclear program or not enrich uranium over an established level because bill a brink of collapse cause since the u.s. unilaterally withdrew from it last year and reimpose devastating penalties on to iran the escalating crisis has triggered serious concern in the region and among the western signatories of the deal to. germany like her a 3 in you partners is extremely concerned by iran's announcement that it has begun

enriching uranium beyond the concentration of 3.67 percent we have repeatedly called on iran not to take further measures that further undermine the nuclear deal while the u.k. remains fully committed to the deal iran must immediately stop and reverse all activities inconsistent with its obligations we are coordinating with other j c p o a participants regarding the next steps under the terms of the deal including a joint commission we strongly demand that iran puts an end to all the activities that do not conform with its commitments under the j c p o a france is in contact with its partners to engage in the necessary deescalation of tensions executive director ron paul is to delve mcadam's things around is still committed to the 2015 agreement nonetheless. well it's pretty amazing when you pull out of the deal when you break a deal and you accuse the side that remains in the deal of breaking the deal it was the west to broker a deal by unilaterally pulling out last year plan that could continue taking the

terms of the fuel you've already broken out of the fact of the matter is if you do study the j c p a way very closely the main import foreign minister is right there is article $36.00 which says if the other signatories to the deal do not fulfill their obligations under the deal and they have it neither side has neither the us know the europeans then iran can't take certain measures within the deal remaining in the deal so the reporting that iran has broken the deal is just not accurate paul think it's rigged the neo calls around from want of war they're pushing it forward to pushing it further and to push in the same propaganda they pushed when they wanted their war with iraq. a recently declassified document from the us state department reveals that it expects the canadian government to adopt an american 1st policy the memo was written back in 2017 just stuff to prime minister just in trudeau's appointed a new foreign minister general hawkins takes up more the story fully. but it comes to foreign relations canada is clear its own interests come 1st canadians came

together and rolled up their sleeves canadians from every order of government and walks of life but their country's interests 1st but perhaps unsurprisingly their biggest foreign policy focus is their biggest ally and closest neighbor the land of the free to everyone thinks of canada's been wonderful and so do i love canada. busy and the united states have perhaps the most successful economic partnership and alliance and friendship in the history of the modern world all that was thrown into jeopardy with a year long standoff over tariffs and trade agreements prime minister justin trudeau of canada acted so meek and mild during our g 7 meeting only to give a news conference after i left saying that you were tariffs were kind of insulting and he will not be pushed around very dishonest and weak our terms our response to

his of 270 percent on dairy canadians did not take it lightly that the united states has moved forward with significant tariffs that its kind of insulting place in hell for any foreign leader that engages in bad faith diplomacy with president donald trump and then tries to stab them in the back on the way out the door kind of a slap to the top tariffs on billions of dollars of american goods as trudeau retaliated against what a ta was saw as an injustice on washington's part claiming canada won't be bullied as the back and forth criticism got heated doom and gloom headlines appeared but how serious really was this rift if you thought for a 2nd that this could be a permanent break up don't worry yes trudeau says kind of the 1st but this declassified documents tells us something we may have known all along so just what does this most. say mr trudeau promoted former minister of international trade

chrystia freeland to foreign minister in large part because of her strong u.s. contacts many developed before she entered politics her mandate letter from the prime minister listed her number one priority is maintaining constructive relations with the united states trudeau then added to her responsibilities for us affairs giving her responsibility for us canada trade an unprecedented move in the canadian context seems harmonizing relations with washington is the number one aim for canada and looking at foreign minister christian freeland's track record it seems her america 1st mission is a success a keen supporter of sanctions she's never far behind washington's foreign policy whether it's overthrowing the moderate government in venezuela putting sanctions on syria and of course russia perceiving moscow as an aggressor i think it's pushing is doing is really dangerous forward. neighbors allies

friends we all knew last year spot probably wouldn't last long and what kind of there's america 1st policy any war of tariffs was really more a war of words than any real confrontation america 1st. may not be an emblem of canada but it is a necessity camber is always influenced by what happens in the united states it's it's a neighbor that you cannot ignore economically financially and culturally it's a very symbiotic relationship it's almost as if candor is the 51st state of the united states there we rarely have a canadian prime minister's challenged american policies do you know who did challenge the most it just into those further pierre trudeau he meant taint a very independent economic a mic and especially foreign policy the the son justin trudeau is not doing any of

those things he is. completely repudiated in some ways that independents that his brother expressed i'm not sure whose interests in fact he's doing certainly not the interest of most canadians because. particularly in foreign policy he's made more enemies for canada than friends. are going to bring you more on the possible spot between america and britain next month coming up with what the u.k. is for an officer said after the diplomatic cables of being leaked what lives come up on the download are up for the latest headline alert as i'm out in this monday as well the church mobile device and check it out it'll come for life if not by a t.v. if you are stay put on that programme look it up after the break i'm covered now in a great.

the problem of the financial system costs from wall street throughout the rest of the world was so big that not just one central bank could make money cheap enough could create enough artificial money by itself and so the fed did collude did work together with the european central bank with the bank of england with the people's bank of china later that was kind of separate story with the bank of japan and so forth to create enough money to put into the financial system to keep it safe for itself and ultimately what that did is a transferred all of that money into the banks into financial assets into burgeoning stock markets like like a ton of sort of crack into an attic up and up and never took it away and that

meant someone else was going to pay on the other side and the people that paid on the other side as everyone else and. join me every thursday on the all excited i'm sure i'll be speaking to yes the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you that. dream agreed to pretty much almost remember that it was most of the family who are working. there wasn't it was bed you know much worse subject to listen today but there was an expectation of the future going to get better. there was a real sense of hope. to do 2 days in america where shade my the turn principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduced democracy attack solo duo engineer elections manufacture consent and other principles

according to no i'm cold. one set of rules for the rich opposite. to that's what happens when you put word to the. truth wilf which will is dedicated to increasing power for chills just as you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america. to people out of the electorate 1000000 on top of the. private infinity who have come from some separate i mean if you sway wept your head. that in blue for anyone

. you had a few quid out of it would a business like. this one for why that wonderful. we actually lift that they were actually. reading how clever they are driving in a merger because they are using it steve minutes now if that is bad enough but they . separated the blacks and the whites. in buses and public facilities the reason why it was like that was because of the. different cultures when you stand in line they have. the living space while we have the. living space and it is really difficult to stand with a mean lie because they burst against you. they don't have what the cool

a civilized way of life but the thing we built this. then we're different.
