the u.k. government. earlier ruled out the weapons. was illegal. in the yemeni. also ahead detroit's music festival faces a. charge white people double for tickets saying the proceeds would go to help disadvantaged people from the black community we.

see. in the u.k. . washington were made public but the tabloids already find a culprit. 247 used. to the world this is your r.t.e. international your company my name's union. the u.k. government has challenged a court decision to halt arms sales to saudi arabia after it was ruled that the military exports were only lawful last month the court also acknowledged that british arms might be used in the bloody conflict in yemen devastated by war london's now eager to get its weapons trade with back up to speed previously held

license nearly $5000000000.00 worth of arms sales to the saudis since the start of riyadh bombing campaign in yemen and 2015 it makes the u.k. the 2nd biggest arms exports are to the gulf monarchies of the united states are to pay part partridge has more on britain's role in the coming. the u.k.'s government is fighting the court of appeal ruling that arms sales to saudi arabia are lawful 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 of whether the saudi led coalition had committed violations of international humanitarian law in the past during the yemen conflict and may not to do so trade secretary liam fox was forced to hold an immediate

review of almost $5000000000.00 pounds worth of weapons deals while this latest appeal seems to contradict fox's assurances to m.p.'s that saudi arms 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 judgment for decision making while we do this we will not grant any new licenses 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 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 a city which would mean that if it is granted that the arms exports can continue under the present under the present process and this is the same process which the court of appeal has to play and was illegal and if that happens. it will be more arms sales and that means for what atrocities committed because for 4 years no you can read fater jets u.k. made bombs and you can with missiles have played a devastating role in creating the worst humanitarian crisis in the world and yemen is no surprise the government is appealing this parodic because it will do

everything it can to maximize arm sales. 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. let's turn attention to the us where a music festival in detroit has been forced to change its ticketing policy because of a backlash to charging white people double the price organizers said it reflected the white communities wealth and privilege that would help disadvantaged people in the black community the afro future of fair slogan stating equality means thrilling 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 1st equality means treating everyone the same also 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 or pay $15.00 because we're non white but privileged yes some cutting points they're really getting to the point to because the 1st will cancel the pricing policy in the aftermath of it widespread complaints threats against the organizers as well instead there is no a suggested donation option for quote people of color it said half the proceeds will go to a program that supports young black people in detroit the organizers explain the reasons behind the initial ticket in terms of artist 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 and while all of the artists on the bill in fact pulled out of the festival in protest of the 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. you know very interesting point there by the rapper or tourney author reese everson she supports the organizers while conservative social commentator brian logan sais by any metric it's racism. 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 me 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 a vent to benefit these under-served communities what she's saying is this is for the native people of this community but if it were in hispanic event let's say it was it has been a music festival and they say spanish 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 visa 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 i would iraqis definition. so you say yes ok

that would be raised. now if a black person did it to a white person how would it be would at the 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 stand in your understanding as to 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 bear a boundary a barrier but is it preventing someone from receiving an economic benefit now but if it were the other way around if it were a white it was a coach music festival in a.z. anyway why you go to pay double to brace what would the reaction be oh you're a souse you neo nazi you k.k.k. obvious 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.

ok let's stay in the u.s. not because leading democratic presidential candidate joe biden us the fender himself after coming under a barrage of friendly fire from his own party they claim he's been too sympathetic towards racial segregation in the past the issue was raised late last month during the 1st democratic party debate ahead of next year's presidential election biden hailed the days gone by saying back then he was able to reach a compromise even with his biggest rivals like pro segregation congressman during the debate party diehards criticized him for even helping dialogue with such people after apologizing for his remarks biden said the words he said were taken out of context did you see the questions about your past positions from the perspective of race being as relevant as they are no no i think the role of the 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. well nonetheless throughout

american history the democrats haven't always been pro integration. goes through. joe biden the current front runner in the democratic presidential race has come forward to 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 doing personal relations with people who will very brutal. as 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 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 sent an 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 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 and through parts of the blocky specimen from the wilds bill clinton who is wildly popular among african-americans gave a eulogy when he was president for j. 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 dix occur. as 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 no no no. but now it would seem that 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 than republicans or the slavery.

lincoln was republican had the slavery it change the dixiecrat after segregation after the civil war they were the races everything was a mess we've had presidents supreme court justices who were members of that class and then 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 issue. the u.k. government is probing the possibility that a hostile power elite the dumbing secret memos of the british ambassador to the us the embarrassing revelations expose what he really thought about president trump is ministration the british media is also holds on the heels of this line of inquiry to the star crossed to london ali boy who took it off the bait polly strained

relations that's only the half of it veering into damage limitation though it appears what do we know. when the relationship between london and washington has fallen victim to the mystery of these leaked diplomatic emails and the story is now turning into a whodunit the foreign the foreign secretary head jeremy hunt take a listen to what he had to say about where this leak could have come from of course it would be massively concerning if it was the act of a foreign hostile states i've seen no evidence that that's the case but we look at the leaked inquiry very carefully. jeremy hunt didn't say a word about russia that would be massively concerning he said but he's seen no evidence that it was a hostile state and yet take a look at the headlines the that quote has generated here in the u.k.

media the daily mail's got russia in capitals did russia leak the bombshell memos that headline off the sun has written from russia with bugs the mirror also features jeremy hunt quoting hall style state and adds like russia to its headline that is how the media covers the story of the foreign secretary essentially confirming without mentioning russia that the possibility that this was an external hock will be within the scope of the official inquiry looking into it there is clearly a strong desire to get to the bottom of who is behind this because of how embarrassing these leaks have been and how damaging this is for the special relationship it all started on sunday when these e-mails between the u.k. ambassador in washington said kim darrick back to the foreign office leaked

to a sunday newspaper herron it is standard practice for diplomats to send very frank assessments of the political situation political situations or the generally the situation in the country that they're serving in so these e-mails were never intended for public consumption and yet thanks to this leak here they are take a listen to what was inside some of the leaked memos. we don't really believe this administration is going to become substantially more normal less dysfunctional some predictable less action ribbon less diplomatically clumsy and do. more likely that he was never fully on board and that he was worried about how this apparent some of his 2016 campaign promises would look come 2020 at the next presidential election well the british

government has tried to be as tapped for this possible about all this jeremy hunt the foreign secretary has apologized for the leak but not for the content of the leaks reason may have said that she's full confidence in washington ambassador there's been some jokes about this given her lack of success with gregg's that went to reason makes press has full confidence in someone or something that really is the political end of them but i don't know isn't famous for having a particularly thick skin when it comes to things like this he isn't famous for forgiving and forgetting all for being the big man so take a listen to his response to the scandal of the leaked memo. i. don't. think i'm. going.

well in terms of what they do now the foreign office is in quite a pickle because said kim direct is one of the most eminent british diplomats he's served in almost every influential post he was due to step down in a few months time but if he is cooled back to london utterly london risks looking like it's fallen like it's been under pressure by trump saying that he won't deal with kim that trump may have influence this decision which is not what the foreign office once a tool and on the other hand if he stays he could end up being a sort of lame duck ambassador in washington if trump deal with him he's already been disinvited from a big event at the white house this evening so he may choose to resign as well but all of these because of these diplomatic leaks where most commentators will say that actually it's no fault of his own he was just doing his job as ambassador and

in the meantime the cabinet office head is leading the official inquiry trying to figure out who is behind all this. or will he go that is the question bring this right off the day it's all most intriguing story probably both thank you. televised link between people from ukraine and russia and furious clear if we've got the details in a moment. you know world of big partisan movies a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up 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 on the 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. and you try and be professional you try and leave it outside the door you try and put in the comma compartment and eyes it's new bright and so you can forget about it but little by little. these little whispers come and for me it was actually putting some ice into my wife's glass of gin and to make the science on the sound of ice cream to the glass reminded me of how we can go to school in bali which was with bags of supermarkets are ice. welcome back to the program authorities in ukraine are accusing the country's news

one channel of treason for planning a link up show with a russian t.v. station it was supposed to be called need to talk but after hundreds of protesters gathered outside the news ones office burning flares and chanting anti russian slogans the idea was dropped ukraine's president also expressed outrage out there proposed program. i don't fool with me really missed the teleconference is just a cheap but dangerous p.r. move before the elections the goal which is to divide us again into 2 camps well the cello player to lead ordinary people from ukraine and russia speak to one another live on air about the process. their countries face a recent survey in fact suggested that as many as 75 percent of ukrainians what kiev and moscow to start talking again the russian percenter who were supposed to host the link up ses their goal was never political. it was say when i agreed to work on this teleconference i wanted to show what we had been reading listen watch

and wearing on the scene during the 5 years when we didn't communicate with each other well martin mccauley author and rochelle is thinks kiev was anxious about the show because of upcoming parliamentary elections in ukraine. that sounds very strange because treason is betraying your country and giving away secrets. from involving your country to another country which your country feels is to his disadvantage so it's very difficult understand the word extreme word to use because this journalist was in fact trying to put forward and i'm trying to work on an exchange between moscow and kiev i think it has to do with the upcoming elections. zelinsky the president is very nervous because he wants a majority in parliament. he may not get it therefore he wants to get really close as possible and it doesn't want an exchange you had an exchange between most girls

. in russian they may in fact influence because various questions will come up how do you see the situation. how do you see this situation. now and over g resources were up late no longer are part documentary goes deep into the south africa crisis next in reaping defying justice it begins in moments. this is a story about what happened sostra stray bullets kills a young in the streets. what happens to her family a daughter is in florida alone my other daughter is. terry healing this is with your head what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the police needed a scapegoat so why not choose

a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pin this on than him and what happens in court. shocked shocked as far off. we don't know schol chairs stroke on. the end of this trial unfortunately due to the sill love for childress. when lawmakers manufacture consent instant of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the final larry go around to listen to the one percent told. to ignore middle of the room signals. to leave the room clean real news is
