by their good morning low from art international's my new cents here moscow is kevin and with you for this 30 minute world news update just turned 80 the morning here in our moscow time so 1st the u.k. government's challenge the court of appeal decision to hold cells to saudi arabia after it was ruled that the military experts were unlawful last month the courts also acknowledged that british arms might be used in the bloody conflict in yemen the country's been devastated of course by a saudi led war london's license nearly 5000000000 pounds worth of arms sales to riyadh since the start of the saudi bombing campaign in yemen in 2015 that makes the u.k. the 2nd biggest arms exported to the gulf after the united states next this morning artie's kate partridge has more on britain's role in the conflict. the ukraine's government is fighting the court of appeal ruling that arms sale. saudi arabia are
1:02 am
norful in the latest challenge in the long running legal battle over weapons used in the yemen war ministers are trying to stay the judgment which means they could carry on licensing arms sales to the saudis until the outcome of its appeal last month the court said the u.k. export licensing process was wrong in law in one significant respect the government made no concluded assessments on whether the saudi led coalition had committed violations of international community area law in the past during the yemen conflict and may not tempt to do so trade secretary liam fox was forced to hold an immediate review of almost 5000000000 pounds worth of weapons deals while this latest appeal seems to contradict fox's assurances to m.p.'s that sadly arms sales would be halted pending a review as i said earlier we disagree with the judgment and will seek permission to appeal alongside this work carefully considering the implications of the judgement for decision making while we do this we will not grant any new licenses
1:03 am
for export to saudi arabia and it's called heartless which might be used in the conflict in yemen opposition leader jeremy corbyn says the latest efforts to halt the ruling ridicule the government's position that human rights take priority over profit despite clear legal warnings that the sale of arms to saudi arabia has contributed to the worst humanitarian catastrophe in the world the conservatives are determined to allow sales to carry on regardless this makes a mockery of their own commitment to hold all new sales while the review takes place into civilian casualties human rights watch has documented the use of u.k. made weapons in apparently are lawful airstrikes foreign secretary jeremy hunt says suspending british exports would diminish the u.k.'s influence over the course of the conflict but the campaign against arms trade argues the sales have meant british bombs have been used to kill civilians what the government has applied for is estie. would mean that if it is granted that the arms exports can continue under
1:04 am
the present under the present process this is the same process which the court of appeal has phoned was illegal and if that happens been that means that there will be more arms sales and that means for all be more to trust us he's committed because for 4 years no you can meet fater jets u.k. made bombs and you came with missiles of pleated devastating role in creating the worst humanitarian crisis in the world and yemen is no surprise the government is appealing this verdict because it will do everything it can to maximize arm seals. because for decades and decades to stage a dictatorship has been the largest buyer in the world of u.k. weapons the saudi led coalition says it wasn't deliberately targeting civilians but thousands have been killed the united nations says 3300000 yemenis are displaced and at least 2 thirds of the population need help in the long running lethal battle is no end in sight kate partridge r.t.

london. leading us democratic presidential candidate joe biden has defended himself after coming under so-called friendly fire from his own party they claim he's been too sympathetic towards racial segregation in the past. it's so easy to go back and go back 304050 years and take a context and take it completely out of context and i mean you know i i get all this information about other people's past and what they've done and not done and you know i'm i'm just not going to go there if we keep doing that that's i mean we should debate the what we do from here the issue of racial segregation was raised later in june july 1st democratic party debate ahead of the 2020 presidential election but next as many as callum open explains throughout american history the democrats have no is being so pro integration. joe biden the current front runner in the democratic presidential race has come forward to apologize about statements
1:06 am
he made about working with advocates of racial segregation i regret it. and i'm sorry for any of the pain or misconception i may have caused him but earlier joe biden made statements about his previous work with segregationists he was almost saying he got things done with some civility now his apology comes as his rivals have been taking him to task over his record i don't think you have to be touting personal relations with people who will very brutal. it was hurtful. to hear you talk about the reputations of 2 united states senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country now joe biden is still in the lead despite the scandal however it seems to have unearthed a strange reality in american politics the democratic party the party that brought
1:07 am
us the 1st african-american president has a rather strange record when it comes to the issue of racism when senator robert byrd of west virginia died barack obama gave him a stirring eulogy he was a senate icon he was a party leader he was an elder statesman and he was my friend. that's all remember him prior to becoming a u.s. senator robert byrd had been a high ranking member of the ku klux klan afterwards he repudiation the views of the hate group but prior to that he had some strong views when it came to the issue of race of a fight in the armed forces with a negro bomb i saw i'd rather i should die a 1000 times and see old glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again than to see this beloved london vase become degraded by race mongrels through parts of the blocky specimen from the wilds bill clinton who was wildly popular among african-americans gave a eulogy when he was president for j. william fulbright another democrat we come to celebrated. for the
1:08 am
remarkable life of j. william fulbright. a life that changed our country. and our world for ever and for the better well the glowing words left out the fact that fulbright was a big advocate of keeping black and white children in separate schools back in the 1960 s. when john f. kennedy and the northern democratic party organizations located in urban areas were pushing for racial integration the biggest pushback didn't come from republicans it came from the dixiecrat. a splinter group within their own party in 1968 george wallace the democratic governor of alabama was so outraged to see anti racism become the dominant view within his own party that he ran as a 3rd party candidate then you oughta come on down to alabama are we to keep you some low down you know no. right now it would seem that
1:09 am
a democrat having such an agenda would be almost unbelievable in fact m s n b c mislabeled george wallace as a republican check it out governor george wallace stood outside the university of alabama personally blocking 2 black students from unrolling their. sure joe biden has come forward and apologized for his statements on racial matters but it seems like the country has forgotten that not so long ago his entire party had the same issue after the civil war was the democratic party that was the races it was the republican party that was different then republicans ran the slavery. lincoln was republic and haiti slavery it sheens the dixiecrat after segregation after the civil war they were there races everything was
1:10 am
a mess we've had presidents supreme court justices who are members of that class and some of them had to do that to join the ku klux klan for political reasons i don't understand why this now with by. now it seems issues segregation in the us is still on the agenda a music festival in detroit has been forced to change policy because of a big backlash of the charge white people double for tickets organizers said it reflected the white communities wealth and privilege and would help disadvantaged people in the black community despite the afro future fest slogan this is equality means treating everyone the same festival charging different prices bees don't race well done intersectional radicals you've become the very racist you claim to stand against so walk so very walk for a future fest equality means treating everyone the same also for a future fest we're going to charge people different prices based on their race i
1:11 am
wonder how our future music festival will charge asians do or pay $15.00 because we're non white but privileged. well the 1st was no cancelled out pricing policy following widespread complaints and even threats against the organizers who said there's no suggested donation option for quote normal people of color it said half the proceeds will go to a program that supports young black people in detroit the organizers explained the reasons behind the initial ticketing terms. artists structure was built to ensure that the most marginalized communities people of color are provided with an equitable chance at enjoying events in their own community black detroit affording joint pleasure is unfortunately still a privilege in our society for people of color and we believe everyone should have access to receiving such or one of the artists on the bill pulled out of the festival in protest at the ticketing policy. i was
1:12 am
immediately enraged just because i am bi racial i have family members that would have under those circumstances been subjected to something that i would not ever want them to be in it's non-progressive and it's not solution focused in my eyes it's early on or resurface and supports the organizers one of the other side of a conservative social commentator anthony bryan logan says it is simply racist. well i can't really tell was going on here it seems like a one hand they don't want white people to come but on the other hand they want to text him they want to charge do more money they let people for this is a so you don't want to be here but you want to money i don't really understand what you have are people who are local to the detroit community who may have been under server economic minorities and they're seeing an influx of money and wealth into their community that they're not necessarily always able to participate in and so when you have this organizer seeking to put together and
1:13 am
a vent to benefit these under-served communities what she's saying is this is for the native people of this community what if it were an hispanic event let's say it was an hispanic music festival and they say hey any white expand it you're able to pay x. amount of dollars if you're not hispanic including black folks you got to pay more so they make you use a black person pay more to go to their v.a. with the races yes or no so if they say that you can really take over the ability to exclude people if they say it is say it is you can't come at all because you blake would be racist is that he is i mean i'm trying to figure out yes or no would iraqis definition. so you say yes ok that would be raised that way. now if a black person did it to a white person how would it be would it be races well if it were white people and the shoe was on the other foot then it doesn't really make sense because we know in our day how about if you spend your energy minister when black people actually have
1:14 am
that type of control again it's discriminatory it's a it's a practice where you are setting a bear a boundary a barrier but is it preventing someone from receiving an economic benefit no but if it were the other way around if it were a white only even so it was a coach music festival in a.z. anyway it is not why you go to pay double to take your brace what would the reaction be your a c s u neo nazi k.k.k. always a name what we're looking at right now is a young lady looking through the lens of history and deciding that it's important for us as a people to began to fix the issue from the lens of equity versus equality. next morning good morning by the way thanks for what she was this morning of receiving death threats to movie theaters income of have canceled showing the antiabortion movie unplanned. management personal information has been spread through social media and they're getting threats to watch their backs we feel any movie is not worth feeling and see from the streets in canada to cinema owners have

fled showing unplanned for fear of lives we will still be shown in numerous other locations nearby and are grateful to canadian enforcement for investigating the terrorist threats unplanned is a story of anti-abortion activist abby johnson for 8 years she was the director of a planned parenthood clinic but switched to a pro-life position after seeing a doctor perform an abortion. this. is the hidden twist it. became in the souls of these hundreds of children the film was made in the u.s. and judah was controversial content experience problems getting screened in canada but after more than 5000 people signed a petition movie theaters eventually agreed while some still claim it's dangerous nonetheless. the american film unplanned soon to be screened in a few canadian theaters is a dangerous piece of anti abortion propaganda it's pretty is an absolutist an
1:16 am
extreme case against abortion that has nothing to do with reality t.v. radio's current turk thinks canada has to be ready to identify the dangers posed by activists. i feel like the cinema really and have a choice but to pull the movie and i think it's really unfortunate that they had to give in to these far left protestors and that you know their general manager was threatened i don't really understand why we've allowed this to get so out of control stead of in the past they would call themselves pro-choice the new narrative of these far left is to call themselves pro abortion and i don't know why we would ever say we are for abortion i think that the critique and government really has to take a proactive approach with this i think it's very easy when there is problems on the far right it's very easy we label neo nazis and we go after them really really really diligently but when it comes to far left groups in the past they really have

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics or business i'm sure business i'll see you there. again good morning facebook goes head to head with an austrian privacy activist on choose day in europe's top court mike's rems claims the social media platform does not sufficiently protect the data of the u.s. citizens when it shipped across the atlantic where
1:19 am
a landmark case puts stake the legality of so-called standard contractual clauses complex legal mechanisms that allow companies to move data freely from europe all over the world firms use these to transfer digital information between the various herbs worldwide now strength is to argue it runs against the e.u. previously rules as it allows us national security agencies extensive access to europeans digital data services and austrian law student previously broader data sharing deal worth billions between europe and the united states crashing down back in 2015 years to successfully fought against european privacy rules called safe harbor don't quarter reports. a legal struggle over what's known as the e.u. u.s. privacy shield is being considered in europe's top justice court it's looking into complaints that data transfers may not be compatible with e.u. law due to mass surveillance programs in the united states it was an issue picked
1:20 am
up by whistleblower edward snowden and now austrian data activist max rams continues to battle the links between the n.s.a. and social media. there is fundamentally a clash between surveillance laws in the us and privacy rules in europe we're in a debate about who governs the internet europe governs privacy but the u.s. government surveillance the case was initially rejected in ireland back in 2013 then it was passed over to the e.u. court of justice and now the data agreement known as safe harbor has been ruled invalid. data could no longer lawfully be transferred from the e.u. to the u.s. pursuant to the safe harbor decision but other elements are complicating the matter turns out facebook never even relied on the agreement instead using so-called standard contractual clauses. didn't have follow its logical judy of exchanging the documents in the 2 party for seizure and told us that we were not allowed to know anything about it i was in the in the situation of suing the irish d.p.c.
1:21 am
for a couple 100000 euros at the high court and trying some kind of you know lawyer to do all that just to get the files in my case now it's up to the courts to decide if these data transfers are still legal one case that reportedly showed the scope of the n.s.a.'s abilities was the german chancellor when alongside german intelligence angle merkel's phone was monitored. i think the question as to whether friends should or should inspire each other is still important one in a guest of the answer should be that this should has been seconded i want to say that office of the federal chancellor will justify ourselves to the responsible parliamentary committee. we asked europeans what they thought about u.s. surveillance into their private lives what he must and that's to miss most people just tap tap tap and don't care what the apps will do with their data later and for those who use facebook it's too late to worry about privacy if he's anything security. more important because. you know you can control
1:22 am
your privacy without social media if it's going to extreme that. the miners are i believe those laws of the wrong way uses themselves to develop awareness however people post anything on facebook instagram and twitter not knowing what will happen till a personal data afterwards. mentions any american company wants to date out that belongs to e.u. citizens such as facebook or google. or amazon they have to comply with certain requirements and the condition is that the way they will handle the data will be similar to the way the data would be handled in the u. the difference is that in the us there are different laws that allow the us government to. to actually. look.
