really. interested in the. u.k. . the president's administration. coming up on the program a detroit music festival organized by members of the community. and the u.k. government. one

minute past 6 pm here in. the. welcome to the program you know. our top story the u.k. government is looking into the possibility that a hostile state leaked secret memo sent to london by britain's in the us the embarrassing revelations expose what he really thought about the american president 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 break that negotiation and not be upset with my criticism of how badly it

was or with the probe into the case still ongoing it seems the british media have already made up their minds who's to blame artie's bali boyko picks up the story. 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 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 the headline asks the sun says from

russia with the bugs question mark the mirror also features home quoting hall style states and adding like russia to the headline should readers forget the whole style 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 pup. consumption and yet thanks to this leak here they are. we don't really believe this administration is going to become substantially more normal less dysfunctional less predictable less friction ribbon less diplomatically clumsy and. small 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 calm 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 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 hence that tweet about calling him directly. saying that he's not going to be dealing with him any more and all this leaves the foreign office in quite a pickle. his one of the most. 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 about on the other 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 ambassador 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. what he does next but all because of these diplomatic leaks where really he was simply doing his job in the meantime the cabinet office is in charge as leading the full inquiry into who was behind all this or ken livingstone a former mayor of london told me earlier about while dragging russia into the story anstice sense there's almost certainly no truth to the suggestion. begin 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 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 that 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

that whatever i am much more likely if someone with the heart of our government who is horrified at the direction we're going and they want to try and stop it we leave him alone doing what america once we get involved in their wars we got got signed up behind iraq and so on about the only prime minister lying mind i 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 us 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 lot of the trade deal we don't know we want but we don't trample one is best for the american economy and that will not damaging our. right moving on

a music festival in the us city of detroit being forced to change its ticketing policy after a bought plush over charging white people double the price organizers said quote it reflected their white communities wealth and privilege which disadvantages the black people in the quote that's despite the afro future 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 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 it pay $15.00 because we're non white but privileged festival has now a council about 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 will go to a program that supports the young black people in detroit however the organizers have continued to defend their initial ticketing terms. are to 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 gorse who were good one of the artists on the bill pole died of the festival in protest too and also has quite an interesting take 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 or we heard from a 30 on aurthur reese everson who supports the organizers while conservative social commentator anthony bryan 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 disease so you don't want to be here but you want your 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 what if it were in hispanic event let's say it was an hispanic music festival and they say hey anybody to c.-span and you're able to pay x. amount of dollars if you are not hispanic including black folks you got to pay more so to make you 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 wouldn't be racist is that he is i mean i'm trying to figure out yes you know what did he write his definition is. so you say yes ok that movie or a script where you are. now if a black person due 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 spend your energy on what is needed 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 you know but if you were the other way around if you were a white it was a coach music festival and they say why you get paid double to brace what would the reaction be your a.c.s. you neo nazi you k.k.k. all he said 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. and that's critical now with another big story of the day the british government is challenging alum market legal rulings suspending new arms sales to saudi arabia court found last month but ministers had failed to assess whether the weapons might be used to commit war crimes in yemen despite having promised to review the licensing process following the judgment london seems eager to get its exports flowing again since riyadh launched its devastating intervention in yemen civil war

in 2015 the u.k. has licensed almost 5000000000 pounds worth of arms sales to the saudis. britain the 2nd largest weapons exporter to the gulf monarchy after the united states a partridge spring just more of the story. the u.k.'s government is fighting the court of appeal ruling that 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 humanitarian 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 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 civilian. what the government has applied for is s.t. 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 means that there will be more arms sales and that means for all the what atrocities committed because for 4 years no you can read fatal 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 paradox 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 a partridge. from tariffs to turn the u.s. and china could be about to lock horns over a weapons deal running into the billions of dollars the details live reaction as well coming up after this short break. and you try and be professional you try and leave it outside the door you try and put in the comma compartments and eyes it's in your brain and so you can forget about it but little by little these. these little whispers come and for

me it was actually putting some ice into my wife's glass of gin and to make the saw it on the sound of the ice cream to the glass reminded me of how we kept the bodies clean in bali which was with bags of supermarkets are ice. and what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or something want to. get it right to be close the survival of freedom or can't be good. i'm interested in the why the how. they should.

welcome the u.s. state department has given an initial a green light to a weapons deal with taiwan china however says the potential trade agreement worth the billions of dollars could undermine its sovereignty the pentagon and taiwanese officials at the fed at the myth. this proposed scenario will support the foreign policy and national security of the u.s. by helping to improve the security and defensive capability of the recipient an important force for political stability move to rebalance an economic progress in the region taiwan will speed up investment on defense and continued to deepen security ties with the united states and countries with similar ideas ok let's go through what we know about this then american lawmakers are 30 days to make a final decision on the deal if agreed upon taiwan receiver $100.00 modernised

tanks and also $250.00 or defense missiles that along with other weapons takes the total bill to $2200000000.00 now the island of taiwan has a complicated history with taipei being ruled autonomous lee and separately from china since the end of the chinese civil war in 19490 taiwan as a state is officially recognized by only 18 countries not by any major global powers as well china claims sovereignty over the territory and therefore beijing sees international interference as a domestic. however. the sale of weapons by the united states to taiwan seriously violates the one china principle grossly interferes in china's internal affairs and undermines china's sovereignty and security interests china which is the u.s. to immediately canceled a planned arms sale and start military relations with taipei to avoid damaging sino u.s. relations and harming peace and stability in the taiwan strait. of him let's go live

now long a specialist in a lot of things but for our purposes today we're going to concentrate on that region and china in particular good to see you i would arm sales to taiwan help to ensure the region's security because that is what the pentagon is arguing here. well from the all of the all the united states one of the not just i want it's part of a chess board all asia pacific security all the other states in which the united states is seeing as being at the moment is being challenged by the rising china so that the in the pacific strategy taiwan plays applaud you know this this is going to strengthen the military capabilities of some together with by one strain.

and other areas in other countries in the area. but as far as the laws. although. of the united states pays lip service to the one choice. one china policy there is the taiwan relations act which of the legalizers does arms sales. to arms sales. the united states is trumping up the. changes at the high level. sending senior officials to visit powell on any white and see the officials from taiwan who was of the united states so the idea is to create want as a kind of understandable clock area. as a kind of. a fortress. to contain china so i think that the arms sales must be seen in that context as well as united states it's about the deeds isn't it the

actions more than the words here are to what extent does the potential see on your mind washington's therefore official position that taiwan is a part of china. well it ringback can still. pay lip service to that because the united states doesn't recognize taiwan under the united nations as a separate country. can say that it respects the one time one china policy. but on the other hand is a strange thing in the military capabilities of taiwan but that is in accordance with department relations act. and you look at taiwan is so most of the people don't want you to pick asian there's no models for that at all but i think most of the of the other hand there are a 1000001 is business and living and upgrading the business is inside china on the

mainland and these people are unlikely to welcome a situation where. the apple cart is being upset so i think you have a con of pushback against both sides and john of course creating. a project that is influence it is all trying to see creating 44 islands of sand bans so as to guard the passage of all this trade and implication of energy and resources. and also expanding its navy. so the. that again in washington as to the american interests in the asia pacific all we want is a pause under always good to have you on the program explaining the big issues of the day international and china specialist. with relations between kiev and moscow under enormous strain ukraine's new

president vladimir is alinsky has said he wants to hold a face to face meeting with a lot of more 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 which by the way is banned in ukraine the program which news dropped after seeing its journalists had received a barrage of threats was called we need to talk the channel ses 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 and also pointed to a recent survey indicating that 75 percent of ukrainians would support such talks but the plans for the shows the large range many including the president on fluently 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. the show's announcement also triggered protests outside news wall busy demonstrators

setting off flares and chanting anti russian slogans a russian t.v. presenter who was supposed to be helping host the link up ses the aim was to help improve bilateral relations. that was saved when i agreed to work on the tele conference i wanted to show what we had been reading watching wearing on the scene during the 5 years when we didn't communicate with each other. or mark mccauley who is a historian a long time russia expert suspects the authorities in kiev are anxious about ukraine's upcoming parliamentary election. 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 try to work on an exchange between moscow and kiev i

think it has to do with the upcoming elections. selenski 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 in the doghouse how do you see the situation. now and more than 10 years on from the great global economic crash are we any more secure with our savings on the couch report gets to grips with that topic and plenty more besides.

this is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills a young girl in the street. what happens to her family and daughters in florida know the mother daughter is buried in a cemetery it really messes 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 b b b b. shot after shot as far as a side deal that we don't know childress from. the end of this trial unfortunately you too will still not know childress.

you know world of big partisan lot and conspiracies 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 back and 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. one else seemed wrong why don't we all just don't call. me. yet to stamp out disdain become educated and gain from it equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

welcome to the ca's report because or welcome to summer solace yes' the series where we delve into solutions to all the problems we talked about all year long and what better place to do that than in sunny malibu we want to discuss social banks the cantillon of such of money printing that has wrecked havoc social and political stability from the inevitable wells that are ropes from central bank money printing and all the mayhem that result sold on that note i bring in stacy herbert yes and we're with nomi prins the author of cool lucian how central bankers rigged the world now you know me i think this is really important for the year 2019 because
