donald trump launches a lacerating attack on britain's ambassador to the united states after a trove of documents from diplomats and described the president of ministration as uniquely dysfunctional the british tabloid press suggests russia may have been behind the disclosure. of the music festival organized by members of the black community sparks controversy by charging white people double for tickets we get reaction. if black person did it to a white person how would it be but at the races if you are looking ability. the u.k. government fights a block on arms sales to saudi arabia after a quarterly supplying weapons to riyadh was illegal because they could be viewed in the yemen conflict.

all over tuesday evening in a chair in moscow money or international the british government says looking into the possibility that a hostile state leaked to the damning secret memo sent back to london by a time battler in the united states embarrassing revelations expose what he really thought about the american president and his administration and donald trump just couldn't resist hitting back the what he ambassador that the u.k. free 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 on the hunt for the source is still ongoing but it seems the british media's already made up its mind as to who's to blame as polly boyko explains. 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 act 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 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 hunt quoting whole style states and adding like russia to the headline should read as 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.

saying. we don't really believe this administration is going to become substantially more normal less dysfunctional less some predictable less friction ribbon less diplomatically clumsy and well 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. and saying that he's not going to be dealing with him any more 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 told but 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 posts 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. little earlier former mayor of london ken livingstone told us that while drug in

russia into the story are abs to the sensationalism 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 skis and 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 so 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 we live in 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 like mine 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 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 lovely trade deal with donald trump no we won't but we don't trump or one is what he's best for the american economy and that will end up damaging our. thanks that a music festival in the u.s. city of detroit has been forced to change its ticketing policy after a backlash over charging white people double the price the organizers said quote it reflected the white communities wealth and privilege which disadvantages black people despite afro future fests slogan stating that equality means treating everyone the same. 1st of all 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 1st 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 the festival has now canceled our pricing policy following widespread complaints and even threats against the organizers and their families there's now a suggested donation option for quote non people of color it's said that half the proceeds will go to a program that supports young black people in detroit but the organizers continue 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 was not a concert goer as i go by all this one of the artists on the bill pulled out in protest as well i was immediately enraged just because i am bi racial i have family members that would have under those circumstances been subject to something that i would not ever want them to be in its non-progressive and it's not solution focused in my eyes we heard from attorney and author resurfacing who supports the organizers while conservative social commentator anthony bryan logan says 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 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 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 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't come ratings are going to 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 that way. 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 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 no but if it were the other way around if it were a white only if it was a close 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 aces you neo nazi you k.k.k. obviously know 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. u.s. state department's given an initial green light to weapons deal with taiwan but china says the potential trade agreement worth billions of dollars could undermine its sovereignty the pentagon and taiwanese officials have defended the move them this

proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security of the us by helping to improve the security and defensive capability of the recipient and 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. well american lawmakers now have 30 days to make a final decision on the deal that if it's agreed on taiwan will receive over $100.00 modernised tanks and $250.00 defense missiles along with other weapons takes the total bill to $2200000000.00 of course taiwan has a complicated history with taipei being ruled autonomous land separately from china since the end of the chinese civil war in 1949 taiwan as a state attorney officially recognized by the 18 countries or not by any major

global powers china also claims sovereignty over the territory and therefore beijing sees international interference as a domestic threat. 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 seo and stop military relations with taipei to avoid damaging sino u.s. relations and harming peace and stability in the taiwan strait ok well a little earlier we spoke to china but andrew young who says the move is part of a wider u.s. strategy to contain beijing. on the all of the all the. while it's not just. all a chess board all. the security. seeing as being all the. big challenge but i was in china but as far as the laws busy.

there is the relations act which are the legalizers. the ideas that create. a fortress. to contain china so i think. this is in the context. this is a leading us presidential candidate is being forced to go on the defensive by members of his own party among our story when we come back.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. here in dramatic development only and. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit. in.

hello again the british government's challenging a landmark legal ruling suspending new arms sales to saudi arabia a call found last month that 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 now seems eager to get its exports flowing again the u.k.'s license almost 5000000000 pounds worth of arms to the saudis since they launched their devastating intervention in yemen civil war in 2015 that figure makes britain the 2nd largest weapons exports of the gulf after the united states with more on the story here's a partridge. 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 community area 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 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 work 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 bombs and you came with missiles have pleaded devastating role in creating the worst humanitarian crisis in the world and yemen it is no surprise that 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. . leading u.s. democratic presidential candidate joe biden has defended 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 segregation congressman during the debate party diehards criticized him for even having dialogue with such people after apologizing for his remarks biden said his words 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 known think the road would be taken out of context and so easy to go back and go back 304050 years and take a context and take it completely out of context unless throughout american history the democrats haven't always been pro to gratian this kind of open now explains. 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. i don't think you have to be touting personal relations with people who will very brutal segregationist 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 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 and 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 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 there oh you know you are. right 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 the republicans ran the slavery lincoln was republican the slavery it she changed 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 the klan 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. now you know up to date thanks very much for watching annexed r.t.
