2:01 am
welcome. good morning live from out in tonight as my new sense here in moscow is kevin with the if this 30 minute world news update just tonight in the morning moscow time now so 1st the u.k. government has challenged a court of appeal decision to hold to saudi arabia after it was ruled that the military exports were unlawful last month the court also acknowledged that british arms might be used in that bloody conflict in yemen the country's been devastated of course by saudi led war london's license nearly 5000000000 pounds worth of sales to riyadh since the start of the saudi bombing campaign in yemen back in 2015 that makes the u.k. the 2nd biggest arms exported to the gulf monarchy the united states nexus one of the ninety's came partridge in the u.k. has more on britain's role in the conflict. the u.k.'s government is fighting the court of appeal ruling that arms sales to saudi arabia are norful in the latest
2:02 am
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 of 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 saturday on sales would be halted pending a review as i said earlier we disagree with the judgment and the secret mission to appeal alongside this we are carefully considering the implications of the judgement for decision making while we do this we will not grant any new licenses
2:03 am
for export to saudi arabia and its coalition partners 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 unlawful 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 s.t.
2:04 am
which would mean that if it is granted that the arms exports can continue under the present under the present process this is the same process which the court of appeal has phoned was illegal and if that happens and that means that there will be more arms sales and that means for all be what atrocities committed because for 4 years no u.k. made fatal jets u.k. made bombs and you came with missiles have played a devastating role in creating the worst humanitarian crisis in the world and yemen it is no surprise that the government is appealing this paradox because it will do everything it can to maximize arm sales to the saudi regime because for decades and decades to say dictatorship has been very largest buyer in the wilds 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.
2:05 am
london. leading us democratic presidential candidate joe biden has defended himself after coming out of so-called friendly fire from his own party they claim he's been too sympathetic towards racial segregation in the past did you see the questions about your past positions from the perspective of race being as relevant as they are now and i don't think the role i'm taking out of context is so easy to go back and go back 304050 years and take a context and take it completely out of context the issue was raised late last month during the 1st democratic party debate ahead of the 2020 presidential election biden was criticized for bragging about the times he had ties with pro segregation members of congress and next morning as caleb maupin explains throat american history the democrats haven't always been pro integration. joe biden the current front runner in the democratic presidential race has come forward to
2:06 am
apologize about statements 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 holding a personal relationship 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
2:07 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. 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 reputed 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 a throwback to the blocky specimen from the wilds bill clinton who was wildly. popular among african-americans gave a eulogy when he was president for j.
2:08 am
william fulbright another democrat we come to celebrated. for the 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 dixiecrats 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 ought to come on down to alabama we did teach you some low down there you know i don't know. but now it would seem that
2:09 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 there. and here it is it is. easy to get evaded 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 as the democratic party that was the races. it was the republican party that was different then republicans or at least slavery. lincoln was republican and had the slavery it she change the dixiecrat after segregation after the civil war they were there races everything was
2:10 am
a mess we've had presidents supreme court justices who were 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 biden this is an inside baseball inside the bubble ish meantime next may know the story but it seems the issue segregation in the us is still on the agenda a music festival in detroit has been forced to change policy because of a backlash of charged 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 future fair slogan that says equality means treating everybody 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
2:11 am
a future fest equality means treating everyone the same. for a future fest we're going to charge people different prices based on their race i wonder how our future music festival will charge asians do we pay $15.00 because we're non white but privileged. festivals no cancel the pricing policy following widespread complaints and even threats against the organizers instead there's now a suggested donation option for quote people of color it said half the proceeds are going to go to a program that supports young black people in detroit you're going to explain the reasons behind the initial ticketing terms. article 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 one of the artists on the believe and pulled out of the
2:12 am
festival in protest of the ticketing policy. i was 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. turning author resurface in support silk eyes as well who are so conservative social commentator and 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
2:13 am
when you have this organizer seeking to put together and 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 anybody to c.-span that you're able to pay x. amount of dollars if you are not hispanic including black folks you've got to pay more so they can use a black person pay more to go to their view 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 in the shoe was on the other foot then it doesn't really make sense because we know in
2:14 am
our day how about if you spend your energy minister when black people actually have that type of control again it's discriminatory it's a it's a practice where you are setting a bit about andrea barrier but is it preventing someone from receiving an economic benefit now but if it were the other way around if there were a way it was a coach music festival and they say anyway that's not why you go to pay double to take your brace what would the reaction be oh you're a suze you neo nazi you k.k.k. are is 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 begin to fix the issue from the lens of equity versus equality. of receiving death threats to movie theaters and caliber of council showing the anti abortion movie unplanned management personal information has been spread through social media and they are getting threats to wish backs we feel any movie
2:15 am
is not worth feeling unsafe 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 no grateful to canadian enforcement for investigating the terrorist threats plans is a story of portion activist abby johnson for 8 years she was the director of the planned parenthood clinic but then she switched to a pro-life position after seeing a doctor perform an abortion. thing to his state and it. became in the souls of these hundreds of children. the film is made in the us and shooters controversial content experience problems getting screened in canada but after more than $5000.00 people signed a petition movie theaters eventually agreed while some still claim it's dangerous the american film unplanned soon to be screened in a few canadian theaters is
2:16 am
a dangerous piece of anti abortion propaganda it's pretty is an absolutist an extreme case against abortion that has nothing to do with reality t.v. radios current things kind of there 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 with the threat and 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
2:17 am
really village it lay but when it comes to far left groups in the past they really have not been handled the same way and it seems that now they are spiraling out of control with the same amount of violence since it was posted on the moscow times stories ahead in the case against facebook allstream privacy to this day stands of the social media. giant to save the day to prove a sea of european citizens the story today we're in it only this is international. the problem of the financial system calls 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 did work together
2:18 am
with the european central bank with the bank of england with the people's bank of china 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 they 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 who paid on the other side was everyone else in. was. again live from moscow this is art international with me kevin owen so
2:19 am
next facebook goes head to head with the austrian privacy activist today tuesday in europe's top court mike's rems clem's claims the social media platform does not sufficiently protect the danger of e.u. citizens when it shipped across the atlantic big story this one the landmark case puts at stake than the galaxy of so-called standard the 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 their various hubs worldwide so as to argue it runs though against you privacy rules as it allows us national security agencies extensive access to european digital data surrender susan austrian law student previously brought a data sharing deal with billions between europe and the united states crashing down back in 2050 successfully fought against european privacy rules called save our own court has got more. 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
2:20 am
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 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 u.s. and privacy rules in europe we're in the debates 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
2:21 am
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. for a couple 100000 euros at the high court in french 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 an important one and a guest of the answer should be that this shouldn't happen 2nd i want to say that we the office of the federal chancellor will justify ourselves to the responsible parliamentary committees. we asked europeans what they thought about u.s. surveillance into their private lives letting my son and for the most people just
2:22 am
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 i think security. more important because. you know you can control 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 to a personal data afterwards. 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
2:23 am
similar to the way the data would be handled in the u. the difference is that in the u.s. there are different laws that allow the u.s. government to. to actually. look into the data and process that they they know weighing the 2 and they'll be allowed to be done in the e.u. so so even those contracts are found to be. unlawful it would mean they companies such as facebook and google and amazon the trigger early process date that it belongs to either citizens will find themselves breaching e.u. law. many believe the sport should be above politics where put in the tense relations between israel and the palestinians that noble sentiment seems to fall about the wayside somewhat. player there.
2:24 am
could be a one sided open that this is the 1st time that a whole team gets banned excluding 3 management personnel in a player which is weird for them and new to the practices of the israeli occupation regarding this i'd like to say that when greece antidotes started the olympics the goal was to strengthen relationships and love between the greek people. * about 5 seasons ago all the gags a team's used to travel without any problems it's sometimes a player or 2 would get that and then some pressure is applied and they are allowed
2:25 am
to travel we don't know the reason for the rejection because you know these really occupation besides this we're only football players our message is football we deliver our message for the sport it's not political. the reasons are clearly political they're trying very hard to make contact between the palestinian clubs impossible. that we believe that politics and sport are separate but this issue is political and it's ruining this national festival between our people from raw fog and you know it was. well this is so for the small enough to follow some facebook and twitter and check it r.t. dot com for the latest from us anytime here in moscow coming up to 926 of them are

2:27 am
when the whole make just manufacture consensus instead of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent. that's not going to hold middle of the road signals. anymore real news is really. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to be that's . what you'd like to be for us this is what the 4th story of the morning can't be
