true. the president's administration. on the program. by members of the black community sparked controversy by charging white people. ability. in the u.k. government. about the weapon supply.

one minute. and 5 in the evening right here in moscow. welcome to our international. the u.k. government is looking into the possibility of a hostile state the dumbing secret memo sent to london by britain's to the us the embarrassing revelations exposed what he really thought the american president said ministration just couldn't resist. the wacky ambassador that the u.k. for we stood upon the united states is not someone we are thrilled with a very stupid guy he should speak to his country and prime minister may about their failed bragg's at negotiation and not be upset with my criticism of how badly it was. with the probe into the case still ongoing it seems the british media have

already made up their mind who is to blame ortiz polly boyko talked to me earlier. the relationship between london and washington is really falling victim to this mystery of who leaked these excruciating really embarrassing diplomatic cables and the attention now is really on who did it take a listen to what jeremy hunt the foreign secretary here had to say about who might be behind these leaks of course it would be massively concerning if it was the acts of a foreign hostile states i've seen no evidence that that's the case but we look at the leaked inquiry very carefully did you hear russia that he didn't utter a word about russia and yet take a look at those headlines that quote has generated the daily mail's got russia in capitals did russia leak the bombshell memos that headline asks the sun says from russia with the bugs question mark the mirror also features one quoting whole style

states and adding like russia to the headline should readers forget the hostile states all in this world this is all how the media here in the u.k. covers the story of the foreign secretary confirming without mentioning russia the possibility that this was an external leak is being looked into by the inquiry into who was behind it there seems to be a very strong desire to get to the bottom of who was behind this because of how embarrassing it is and how damaging it has been for u.k. u.s. relations it all started on sunday when these leaked diplomatic e-mails between sikkim darrick who's the u.k. ambassador in washington and the foreign office. came to light were revealed in a sunday paper and it's pretty standard practice for ambassadors to send

a very frank assessment of what's going on in the countries that they're in they were never meant for. consumption and yet thanks to this leaker here they are. we don't really believe this administration is going to become substantially more normal less dysfunctional less and predictable less faction riven less diplomatically clumsy and inept. i think. it's more likely that he was never bored and that he was worried about how this apparent some of his 2016 campaign promises would come 2020 at the next presidential election where the british government has tried to be as tactful as possible about all of this jeremy hunt the foreign secretary has apologized for the leak but not for the content of the leaks to reason may has said that she's got full confidence in her ambassador in washington and of course donald trump isn't famous for having

a thick skin when it comes to things like this she's not big into forgiving and forgetting either that hence that tweet about calling him directly. and saying that he's not going to be dealing with him anymore and all this leaves the foreign office in quite a pickle darrick is one of the most is deemed diplomats he's had quite a career behind him he was due to step down from his post in washington in a few months time but if he is called back to london early the foreign office have risks looking like it was trump's refusal to deal with him that may have influenced that decision which they don't want to talk but only on one hand they might be left with a lame duck of an ambassador one of the most important ambassadorial post in the service a lame duck in washington. it's already been disinvited from an

event at the white house that's taking place this evening so he might have to choose to resign a lot of speculation about what he does next but also because of these diplomatic leaks where really he was simply doing his job in the meantime the cabinet office is in charge of leading the full inquiry into who was behind all this. but for more on the story of the. good to say we can welcome onto the program this hour ken livingstone a former mayor of london you're very welcome to the program that british media have seemingly fallen and already who is guilty in this instance why do you think rush has been thrust into the spotlight so quickly here. well so much of the media now in britain and america is ramping up opposition not just to russia to iran and so on it's almost like a sort of mini cold war again i'm not me i thought that those statements by the

ambassador were a very good analysis of only what he's the most chaotic and unreliable president of my lifetime but we got to remember i mean most of the people seeing these documents are in the senior civil service all their ministers and there's an awful lot of people at the top of our ministration now horrified at the prospect of boris johnson being the next prime minister even and i totally contemptuous now of treason maze government through his reverie like this was released by a civil servant to a politician to undermine and damage this government and to sort of porridge johnson because what this is led to his people have got back and found bush johnson wrote some incredibly hostile comments about donald trump back in 2015 said i'm just not going to be it's not getting coverage of patients that between us and from but there are many people in britain want a good relationship between us and from just to expound on something he said there

why indeed would foreign powers engage in king those cables and then let the public know you have access to them for something you know you could really just read in the guardian couldn't you. hear the simple fact is that i mean now i guess it's much easier for people to hack into people's personal accounts on i mean literally. just about 15 years ago the labor party government here was trying to hack into my private bank account to find things to damage mean trying to prevent me becoming elected mayor of london very this is this goes on all over the world i mean butt. certainly we have our embassies there to promote the interests of britain just want russia to us and try to monitor it out we shouldn't be surprised at all the stuff going on but the simple fact is the relationship between trump and britain has been pretty pointless anyhow because trump is just focused on

everyone agreeing with what he wants to do. ratcheting up or he's come you know a tax on countries like iran or russia or whatever i we don't want to get involved in that we would drag along behind america in so many wars in the past they've all been a disaster can i just put this point there are hundreds of people reportedly who would see cables like the e-mails we're talking about is it actually more surprising something like this hasn't happened before someone with a grudge especially against all of trump putting it out there making it more more open. when i don't ever recall in my political grade going back 50 years. and then proceed to it's being leaked but i do think it's an indication of just how dysfunctional the british government is now at the top and the schisms the splits and so on so although yes it's nice to have

a good you know this by still when it's the line the russians will be ready and whatever i am much more likely it's someone with the heart of our government who is horrified at the direction we're going and they want to try and stop it there is an issue though isn't there in in the cross again tick relations right now donald trump said the u.s. will no longer deal with the ambassador it begs the question how how did this instance affect the name special relationship between london and washington of course the new british pm is close to being appointed but is there lasting damage done here. well this special relationship i think has always been overstated we'd leave him alone doing what america once we get involved in their wars we got found out behind iraq and so on about the only prime minister of like mind our time refused to do that was back in the 1960 s. when the labor government and our wilson refused to send troops to our side by side with american viet nam so this relationship is not too great equals is basically

wandering along desperately hoping to have a little bit of influence in washington but the state of the us government in washington now i mean there's no interest in britain doing that always talk about if we leave the you will get a lovely trade deal we go no no we won't we don't trump want is best for the american economy and that will lead not damaging our when you are american london and did you have to be very careful about any kind of communication you had with you know sending emails having meetings in rooms i know it was maybe before there was a this advent all of technology everywhere but is there no a case where you really have to be extra careful about what's being said because it can lead to a big dip diplomatic spot as we're seeing. well i membered back in 981 when i became the leader of the great to london council and factious said my

path and who screen posters of communist tyranny on britain within a few days i found that when i put my phone down i am having finished one goal and then picked up to make another one i could hear the previous conversation which had been recorded being played back so i all my political career i for human being spied on so brutally i've never had a secret gender i just say well i believe that's why i'm always getting in trouble for her enough ken livingstone for marrow of london thanks for your time and thoughts this hour and your. all right moving on to more world news a music festival in the u.s. city of detroit has been forced to change its ticketing policy of 3 buck lush over charging white people double the price organizers said it reflected the white communities wealth and privilege which disadvantages the black people by this despite the afro futura fest slogan stating 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 you walk through 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 often a future music festival will charge asians do we pay $15.00 because we're non white but privileged the festival has no council pricing policy following widespread complaints son even threats against the organizers instead there is no i suggest a donation option for quote people of color it said half the proceeds will go to a program that supports young black people in detroit's however the organizers have continued to defend their initial ticketing turned. 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 well it wasn't only culture gores who were one of the artists on the bill itself pulled out of the festival in protest. 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 its non-progressive and it's not solution focused in my eyes. or we heard from attorney and or 3rd race ever since who supports the organizers while conservative social commentator anthony bryan logan sais by any metric he can come up with interest as well i can't really tell what's going on here he 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 why 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 what if it were and 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 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't come ratings are going to be an ability to exclude people if they say it is a it is you can't come at all because you blake wouldn't be racist is that he is i

mean i'm trying to figure out yes or no i would iraqis definition is 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 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 house that if you spend your energy minutes later 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 only eventually it was a coach music festival and they say anybody does not why you go to pay double to take your price what would the reaction be oh you're a c s u 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 coming

out of a plane televised link up between people from ukraine and russia infuriates kids it's not a council we'll tell you why after this. the problem of the financial system costs 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 with the european central bank with the bank of england with the people's bank of china leader 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 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 and never took it away and that meant someone else was going to pay on the other side and the people that paid on the other side of this everyone else in. the minutes into the program welcomed the british government is challenging a lung market legal rulings suspending new arms sales to saudi arabia a court filing last month ministers have failed to assess whether the weapons might be used to commit war crimes in yemen the spite having promised to review the licensing process following that judgment in london seems eager to get its exports to riyadh flowing again since saudi arabia launched its devastating intervention in

yemen civil war and 2015 the u.k. license almost $5000000000.00 worth of arms sales to the saudis that makes britain the 2nd largest weapons exporter to the gulf after the united states with more on the story partridge the u.k.'s government is fighting the court of appeal ruling. arms sales to saudi arabia are 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 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 will seek permission 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 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 that. 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. it will be more arm sales and that means for will be more to trust us he's committed because for 4 years no you can meet fate or jets u.k. made bombs and you came with missiles of plaited devastating role in creating the worst humanitarian crisis in the world and yemen is no surprise the government is appealing this paradox because it will do everything it can to maximize arm sales.

because for decades and decades to stage a dictatorship has been very 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. moving on with relations between kiev and moscow under enormous strain ukraine's new president vladimir is ill and ski has said he wants to hold a face to face meeting with vladimir putin but in an indication of just how fraught the situation is ukrainian authorities are accusing the country's news one channel of treason over a proposed link up show with a russian state broadcaster the program called news was dropped after seeing that its journalists had received a barrage of threats it was called we need to talk ironically enough now the

chelsea's the intention was to provide a platform for ordinary people from ukraine and russia to discuss the challenges facing their countries on the war in eastern ukraine it also pointed to a recent survey indicating that 75 percent of ukrainians would support such talks but the plans for the show still are many including the president. unfortunately philly missed the teleconference is just a cheap but then us p.r. move before the elections the goal of which is to divide us again into 2 camps. the show's announcement also triggered protests outside news war. with demonstrators setting off flares and chanting russian slogans presenter who was supposed to be helping host the teleconference has also says that being was to help improve bilateral relations. say when i agreed to work on this teleconference i wanted to show what we had been reading or listening watching wearing on decent

during the 5 years when we didn't communicate with each other. martin mccauley a historian a russian expert suspects the authorities in kiev are anxious about ukraine's upcoming parliamentary elections it 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 that word extreme word to use because this journalist was in fact trying to put forward trying to work on an exchange between moscow and here i think it has to do with the upcoming elections. selinski the president is very nervous because he wants a majority in parliament. he may not get it therefore he wants to get as many votes as possible and it doesn't want an exchange if you have an exchange between moscow

and kiev. in russian they may in fact influence the election because various questions will come up how do you see the situation. how do you see the situation in. all of us have to leave our news update for now but not to fret it's a poke to the rafters watching the hawks next talking everything from an arrested billionaire for sex crime to california earthquakes. with no make this manufacture consent to step into the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final

beginning contemporaneous with the rest of that scene teterboro airport agents executed a search warrant on his mansion in new york city and recovered and seized and that was a search pursuant to a valid warrant. agency's evidence including nude photographs of what appear to be underage girls. and while abstain has managed to avoid serious prison time in the past this new indictment evidence found at his home on the corroborating witnesses could spell the end for every rich guy's favorite party how those friends of his on those house include everyone from former president of the united states bill clinton to current u.s. president donald trump left right or center those who call jeffrey obscene a friend won't all be under a microscope as his crimes and those of his rich and powerful friends across the

of the one details that we know so far since the the indictment was unsealed and abstain taken into custody over the weekend. yes so he was arrested saturday teterboro airport you mentioned this in the opening when he arrived from paris he was on vacation in france landed at teterboro arrested taken into custody by federal agents there he was charged today in manhattan district court he pled not guilty to one count of sex trafficking conspiracy and one count of sex trafficking so 2 counts altogether may not sound like much but there's belief among in you know the legal circle that possibly this is the 1st of other charges and indictments to come regarding abstain that maybe this indictment is a a placeholder if you will to basically get him off the street because there's concerns the prosecutor said today he's on repentant and possibly that these illegal activities were all.
