the. u.k. government told us an investigation after an embarrassing leak of diplomatic cables which described ministration as. a dysfunctional. testers gather for a 2nd consecutive day in the georgian capital tbilisi to vent their anger over a local t.v. hosts a vicious expletive filled of the russian president. u.s. launches a new strategy to counter what it called the kremlin's malign influence during a sharp response from moscow which has branded the initiative anti russian propaganda also ahead. your. 7 year old boy in the u.s. state of texas is caught up in a custody battle between his divorced parents who can't agree on which gender their

child should be identified as we've heard from the father. so i consider this to be child abuse and the sexual mutilation of children on the on other industrial scale so it makes me feel terrible i can't believe that a mother busy would do this to us on. monday evening at 11 am last welcome to world news this hour the u.k. foreign office right now is trying to track down who leaked a trove of sensitive diplomatic cables written by britain's ambassador to the united states in a series of unflattering remarks the diplomat describes president trump's white house as inept and uniquely dysfunctional reports. 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 unpredictable less faction riven less diplomatically clumsy and inept also came also called into question donald trump's publicly stated reason for calling off an ass trike on terror on or following the downing of the us 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 trump 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 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 emails and the revelations trump was clearly unimpressed with today that. the

ambassador was not there you hear well i can tell you that without without the. ideas that there were no i can't 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 leon fox focused on the leak 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 continue to think under president trump the u.s. 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 the globalist an outlook totally opposed to the term doctoring. the sooner he is gone the boat or the leak comes at a key time for the u.k. is it looks to boost its trade with the u.s. 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 president trump has since tweeted that he's no longer prepared to deal with the u.k. ambassador who he claimed was not well liked in the united states with that in mind former british diplomat all over miles give us his thoughts on what the leak might now mean for bilateral relations between london and washington. the leak is very embarrassing because it's going to make the i must of this lot for all the difficult parts 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 it clearly was going to be a degree of embarrassment perhaps not very it's

a risk but there will be a degree of embarrassment and so of the bad news from that point of view. in most cases involve the leak investigations law itself the leak tends to come from the top and i would guess that if this is a political role the post will. just incompetence many times in the post 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 of substance 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. protests have taken place for a 2nd consecutive night in the georgian capital tbilisi over a t.v. hosts caustic insult filled tirade against the russian president the present who works for a popular opposition station that he made putin and his deceased mother live on air

on sunday both countries i responded to trying to join the union and with more on 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. appointed i mean yes with the video was obviously a recording of that yeah it was on you tube but it was just so bad so very quickly georgian protesters in 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 be 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 dividing the country into 2 camps and inside an external confrontation in town should in the region is unacceptable for us is it up or of occasion aimed at the new war or revenge for the failed coup this was an action taken against our country and you what about the reaction from moscow 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 foreign ministry too because it's a 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 fabia can. it give us $91.00 way in the 1st place a georgian t.v. 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 georgia which is russia's southern neighbor are in turmoil and it has been like that for a few weeks right now and. what georgians see as a very serious incident in the republic's parliament 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 riots in front of the parliament. there was one in the streets and in response to that moscow had to suspend direct flights between the 2 countries we know that there are a lot of russian tourists that had to do or they were fearing that this could lead to possibly violence against russian citizens because we heard

a new wave of slogans and russian rhetoric from georgian politicians so the russian government was expecting that these kind of measures could really hit the wall it's probably the owners of georgian hotels or businessmen in the tourist industry so definitely the tensions are there and this is probably another example of this hate speech by an anchor of georgian t.v. . well we've since learned that the georgian journalists who went rogue on sunday night live television has now been suspended from his position for 2 months. thanks to a 7 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 can't agree on which gender the child should be identified as. but your boy right now. when with his mother the boy james lives as a girl named luna the mother refers to james exclusively as her and says it was the

child who expressed an interest in wearing girls' clothes she also him rolled james in school and the female name on t. sophie shevardnadze response speaking to his father jeff young that you can watch the full interview with aunty don't come. i took it very seriously because i had to some information when 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 and some odd 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 it 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 that 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 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 the father has for some time now been fighting for his son to be treated as a boy the gender that he was born as if young has been accused by his ex-wife of abusing that child for not affirming his transgender and for cutting his actual. the father has an emotionally abusive behavior towards the child as example only hair cut to and other non affirming actions although on cliche of this behavior rises to the level of family violence at this time the father said ration is becoming more common and more intense it's temporary orders that i'm on or before you go to 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 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 to a surgical transition that would be medical child support as well i'd have to pay for that i consider this to be child abuse and the sexual mutilation of children on a on an industrial scale so i'm not paying for any of this i'm not going to participate in the peace my son in any way. well this comes as specialists debate whether children should be allowed to change their gender at such a young age sociologist frank freddy believes the 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. countering maligning 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 their dependence on russian energy moscow's branded as anti russian propaganda garcinia corresponding morale because they have takes us through the plan. usaid has unveiled a new plan a strategy officially aimed at boosting the resilience of part 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 and 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 that fact checker linked to the us government point the 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 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 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 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 a germany 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. british barrister cherie blair the wife of former u.k. prime minister tony blair had has been talking to ati's going underground about her role in a frantic legal battle after she helped release a russian businesswoman facing a decade of hard labor in kuwait marcia lesser have moved her business operations to the middle east 15 years ago and 2017 she was accused of embezzling nearly half a 1000000000. by kuwait where she worked for an investment company she was jailed for $470.00 days and to have released in may this year after the evidence against her was found to be fake the case garnered wide media coverage especially on our sister channel the arabic and also got the attention of high profile politicians and lawyers in the united states and russia. played

a key role in her release and you can watch her interview in full on r.t. dot com. somebody convicted and absconded marsha 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 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 an 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 buy every between local firms for lucrative gulf contracts. it's been a staple of american satire for nearly 57 years but mad magazine will no longer be a permanent fixture on newsstands in the future it's going to cease publishing new content and the iconic publications monthly issues will now be replaced with and the year specials next ask you taylor takes a closer look at whether the media's become a bit too sensitive these days to

a joke. the one success to this surreal concept it was shopped vicious at times and wholly irreverent it was called satire and it's dad 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 mascot alfred e. newman comics like spy versus spy and even its own board games are doing. ok. 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 force. we are all philosophy we are all politics we don't pick sides we have no more scruples we have no say. and i know that 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 well 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. 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 i've been targeted for my cartoons on instagram and on facebook i kept getting censored on instagram and facebook and some of the more provocative pieces that i made they were just getting deleted and so i said to myself well what's the original way to do this so people even suggested in my feed maybe you should make a book being too political can make you a virgin 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. rejected the severance package way too on his desk did your editors give you reasons no they didn't give me any reason at all so

you'd have to ask them but but the common theme in all the ones that have been rejected is that like 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 puts a very realistic spin on trump's catchphrase. 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 effect his 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 and it out anyway. but i mean. and in. fact there are many of the now if you think

perhaps they knew what was coming but for the magazine it seems society has had the last off 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 have 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. ukrainian television channel has counsel to plan t.v. link up with brokaw russia 24 saying
