state of texas is caught up in a bitter custody battle between his divorced parents who counts agree on which gender their child should be identified we hear from them all but. 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. 247 news live from moscow welcome to r.t. international 7 pm here in moscow 30 minutes of global update starts. the u.k. foreign office has ordered an inquiry into the leak of diplomatic cables penned by britain's ambassador to washington in a series of bombshell remarks president donald trump's why tell us is the scribe in a dysfunctional among many other unflattering comments made by the diplomats are
12:02 pm
partridges across. this is the story of a foreign office inquiry into a series of leaks memos that came from the u.k.'s ambassador to the us so kim darrick well so kim has a 42 year career in diplomacy but some of these e-mails ended up in the mail on sunday the british newspaper and in those memos he gave a candid and damning assessment of the trumpet ministration. we don't really believe this administration is going to become substantially more normal less dysfunctional less and predictable less faction ribbon less diplomatically clumsy and inept also came also called into question donald trump's publicly stated reason for calling often asked right on terror on or following the downing of a u.s. drone by iran trump said that he was 10 minutes away from making that command but called it off because there would be 150 casualties but secant says it was actually a question of policy and trying harking back to his campaign promise of not allowing more u.s. troops to go into foreign wars it's more likely that he was never fully onboard and
12:03 pm
that he was worried about how this apparent reversal of his 2016 campaign promises would look come 2020 at the next presidential election well in response to these e-mails and the revelations trump was clearly unimpressed but restrained in his comments i would say that. the ambassador i'm not sure you do well i can tell you that without without the. ideas that you were so i cannot say that i could say that about him but i was well the response from the u.k. has been rather mixed the trade secretary liam fox focused on the week itself said it was unethical unpatriotic unprofessional and the person behind them was maliciously trying to undermine the relationship between the u.k. and the u.s. whereas other politicians concentrated on the content of the e-mails and the author itself this was a personal view it's not the view of the british government it's not my view we
12:04 pm
continue to think under president trump the us administration is not just highly effective but the best possible friend of the united kingdom on the international stage i think it is very important that ambassadors give honest unvarnished advice to their country and it is disgraceful that it has been leaked from the moment trump was elected this man was the wrong person to be the british ambassador to globalist an outlook. totally opposed to the tom dick 3 the sooner he is gone the better well the leak comes a key selling for the u.k. is it looks to boost its trade with the us following ranks it remains to be seen if this blush in diplomacy will have an effect on the special relationship and the post breaks it economy or without in mind the british government has launched an inquiry into the leak and we also spoke with all of our miles a former you can boss around foreign office official he give us his thoughts on what the comments might mean for bilateral relations between london and washington . the leak is very embarrassing because it's going to make they are masters of his
12:05 pm
life for all the difficult part of his job only part of his job but part of his job is dealing with the president from the media with the white house team and so on and clearly there's going to be a degree of embarrassment perhaps not very serious but there will be a degree of embarrassment of the bad news from that point of view on the whole in most cases involve the leak investigations myself the leak tends to mostly come from the top and i would guess that if this is a political problem possible or i'm just incompetent many times in the past in fact probably more often than not. very senior jobs like washington like paris like new york the united nations sometimes like moscow these very senior jobs have in the past been given. what we call political point i'm sad to say putting in somebody who is in some other way qualified for the job not from the professional diplomatic service that wouldn't be unusual that wouldn't be surprising. able to
12:06 pm
bring you know to the georgian capital tbilisi where protests erupted over night there after the host of an opposition t.v. channel launched into an obscene insult filled tirade against vladimir putin as the ceased mother live on air believe or trying to join me earlier with the story. the kind of language that this anchor used you don't hear it on t.v. at all because that was swear words after a swear word you know some of the most nasty words that there are in the russian language i have to point out that this rant was in russian against vladimir putin himself and also against his parents who are no longer alive and i can tell you that this video was all over the internet immediately i was having a quiet day with my friends when someone sent it to me and when then when i played everyone was shocked because what they were hearing is there's life on there as well as you can point at i mean yes but you know the video was obviously a recording of that yeah it was on you tube but it was just so bad so very quickly
12:07 pm
georgian protesters and the georgian capital tbilisi started gathering in front of the channel's h.q. it's one of the most popular t.v. channels and georgia we even heard that some of the staff resigned almost immediately after that an outrage and it had to go off air for a few hours the bosses said it was because of some security concerns but now it's back on what about the government itself what has to police he said about this the most senior officials in georgia spoke out very quickly we heard from the president from the prime minister from the foreign ministry as well they are saying that these kind of insults have nothing to do with patriotism so let's listen to the exact words from the georgian leader georgia's president and the condemns hate speech verbal aggression insults and provoked her statements made today a new study to t.v. they go against old georgian traditions sort of only to divide and race tensions in the country with russia and in the region and you what about the reaction from sco
12:08 pm
what's their reaction the russian government officials are obviously disappointed there saying that this is nothing but another display of verse of fold so let's listen to bits of the statements from the russian president's spokesperson and also from the russian for. ministry has to close it's country it's not as for the insults against both our country and our president we of course consider them to be totally unacceptable and we strongly condemn them and we know that the entire leadership of georgia president prime minister parliamentarians and the speaker of parliament have strongly condemned this we see this as another clear provocation by radical forces in georgia and undermining of russia georgia relations the current laden incident is a vivid example of where frantic brosseau phobia can lead it give us an idea why in the 1st place a georgian t.v.
12:09 pm
host as you say a very popular program on a popular channel would insult in such a way the president of another country was it a one off incident this for instance we have to understand that at this point the relations between russia and former soviet republic toward you know which is russia's southern neighbor are in turmoil and it has been like that for a few weeks right now after what georgians see as a very serious incident in the republic's parliament and there was an event for m.p.'s of orthodox christian countries was an international event where a russian member of parliament was giving a speech and he sat somewhere where usually the speaker of the georgian parliament is sad and that sparked outrage in that country it led to ultra violent winds in front of the parliament would slide to arrests that was lining the streets and in response to that moscow had to suspend direct flights between the 2 countries we
12:10 pm
know that there are a lot of russian tours that had to georgia they were fearing that this could lead to possibly violence against the russian citizens because we heard a new wave busy of anti russian slogans and russian rhetoric from georgian politicians all the russian government was expecting that these kind of men. could really hit the wall it's probably the owners of. hotels or businessmen in the tourist industry so definitely the tensions are out there and this is probably another example of this hate speech by an anchor of georgian t.v. . just an update the georgian journalist who went rogue or otherwise on television has not been suspended from his position for 2 months. and moving on a 6 year old boy in the u.s. state of texas has been caught up in a bitter custody battle between his divorced mother and father his parents come to
12:11 pm
grief in which gender the child should be identified. as your boy right now. when with his mother the boy known as james lives as a girl named luna the mother refers to james exclusively as her was the child who expressed an interest in wearing the girl's clothes she even enroll james in school and under the female name r t who sophie shevardnadze spoke to his father jeff younger you can watch the full version throughout the day here at r.t. . 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 ready timeouts and saying things like the monsters only eat boys ready ready and some things like that 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
12:12 pm
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 that he factor with me he violently rejects any female identity he won't wear female clothes he won't even wear boy's brief underwear because he says it's too much like girls underwear i believe he dresses by his own will when he's with his mother i just don't think he believes that she'll love him if he's a boy if a quite some time the father has been fighting for his son to be treated as a boy the 6 he was born us geoff younger being accused by his ex-wife of abusing their child for notes of firming him strong his gender for cutting his hair short the father has an emotionally abusive behavior towards the checkout as example only haircuts and other non affirming actions although on cli have these behavior rises to the level of family violence at this time the father said ration is becoming more common and more intense the temporary orders that i'm under before you go to
12:13 pm
final trial actually do allow me to address them 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 one of the big problems that i'm going to face eventually is in the state of taxes right now the court's position is that all of this is medical child support. so i have to pay for him to go to you know a therapist who's teaching him that he's a girl i have to pay for the hormone suppression of puberty which actually chemically castrate boys and prevents the growth of their sexual organs and if he goes on to a surgical transition would be medical child support as well that have to pay for that so i consider this to be child abuse and the sexual mutilation of children on
12:14 pm
a on an industrial scale so i'm not paying for any of this i'm not going to participate in abuse my son and the way well this all of course comes especially this debate whether children should be allowed to change their gender at such a young age sociologist 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 through this monday evening from moscow the u.s.
12:15 pm
agency for international development is setting its latest strategy to tackle an apparent threat hanging over europe we'll tell you all but the top of this. you know world of big. and conspiracy it's time. to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. for my guy to financial survival this is. a device used by
12:16 pm
professional scallywags to earn money. that's right. the stabilize the global economy you need to protect yourself and get in for. 60 minutes program country kremlin influenced the u.s. agency for international development usaid called a new strategy to help european countries of void. meddling dependence on russian energy branded anti russian propaganda and our senior correspondent the of
12:17 pm
can take us through the. usaid has unveiled a new plan a strategy officially aimed at boosting the resilience of the nation's unofficial 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
12:18 pm
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 yeah our 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 that fact checker linked to the us government poynter institute for media studies to filter out unreliable sources and they ended
12:19 pm
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 regime's dependency on russia u.s. sees assistance will include working with individual states to create effective legal and regulatory frameworks and assisting them to join 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
12:20 pm
america's allies a diverse and affordable source of clean energy it's a whole package money to the media which cries russian wolf money to politicians who get the american way money to lobbyists they get a nice little kick back from selling american gas and moscow 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 by the way saving best the last you know why u.s. aid was expelled from russia 7 years ago why for an election meddling fiasco but 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
12:21 pm
united the united states had to have had gemini over the entire world and sense 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. barrister cherie blair the wife of former u.k. prime minister tony blair who has been speaking to our tease going on the ground about her role in a frantic illegal bottle after she helped release a russian business woman facing a decade of hard labor in kuwait marsha lazaro of moved her business operations to the middle east. 15 years ago in 2017 she was accused of embezzling nearly half a $1000000000.00 by q 8 where she worked for an investment company she was jailed
12:22 pm
for $470.00 days until her release this year back in may that was after the evidence against her was fun to be fake her case garnered wide media coverage especially on our sister channel r.t. are a big on the attention as well of high profile politicians and lawyers in the u.s. and russian cherie blair played a key role in her release and you can watch her interview in full later on our. website. somebody convicted and absconded marcia who's been under investigation this is been hanging over her head and since 2012 she's been actively pursued by the authorities since 2015 so much so that she's been on bail when she was on bail and her american green card expired she wasn't able to go and go to the states because fiction was actually overturned in may and why was it overturned because it was based on fraud and indeed forged evidence and she had not
12:23 pm
been given the opportunity to put her side of the case so the trial actually was a travesty did not comply with fair trial procedures and finally the court of appeal in kuwait did overturn that decision so she isn't currently on bail awaiting trial there was a big conference here about our british investments and there was a general ease about what was happening to foreign investors in the gulf in relation to the criminalize ation of what is essentially commercial disputes and essentially fights between commercial companies for lucrative gulf contracts and we believe that this is that marsh if you like is collateral damage in a wider by every between local firms for lucrative gulf contracts.

12:26 pm
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. 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 in opt in opt never took it away and that someone else was going to pay on the other side and the people that paid on the other side was everyone else and. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. with more make this manufactured and sentenced to public wealth. when the

because of the letter 1000000 on top of the. president familiar to have come from some separate i mean if you sway what you're headed toward one form dissident who for anyone could tell. you had a kook without a straw in it would a business like. this one for why is that wonderful. we actually looked at the about we're actually there who really go clothes driving in a murder because they are using you know. i know that is bad enough but they. separated the blacks in the whites. in buses and in public facilities the reason why it was like that was because of the. different cultures when you stand in line they have a very small. living space while we have the think the living space
12:29 pm
and it is really difficult to stand with a mean lot because they burst against you. they don't have what the cool a civilized way of life but i'm not saying we built this image just understand that we are different. if you are the white man did you so bad now in riyadh races that this is the racism this is the racism this is the racism going to stand out i mean it has developed what's your definition of racism from a biblical point of view because that god created the different races. they believe he gave every. place to stay apart they defended the diversity that god made according to. by the definition i am not a step to getting to the definitions and methods.
12:30 pm
