5:01 pm
in from around the world this is r.t. international from moscow i want to welcome to news this hour the british government says looking into the possibility that a hostile state the damning secret memo sent back to london by a bastard or in the united states the embarrassing revelations expose what he really thought about the american president and his administration and it seems that the incident has put strain on that long lasting so-called special relationship between the 2 nations the reports next from westminster. because this all began when this message this message was leaked which showed the you can buster the describing the trumpet ministration in really harsh terms describing them as being inept and not seeing the situation improving any time soon and perhaps in typical donald trump fashion the us president took to twitter to express
5:02 pm
his feelings about it he didn't pull any punches and he described the u.k. ambassador as being a very stupid guy the wacky ambassador that the u.k. forced it 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 now here in the u.k. of course we are watching as the 2 candidates go head to head to be the next conservative leader and thus the next prime minister there of course the former foreign secretary boris johnson and the current one jeremy hunt and the 2 men responding in very different ways jeremy hunt quick to respond to mr trump's tweet and as far as he was concerned mr trump was being very disrespectful and wrong donald trump friends speak frankly so i will these comments disrespectful and
5:03 pm
wrong to our prime minister and my country you said the u.k. u.s. alliance was the greatest in history and i agree but i always need to treat each other with respect as threes amaze always done with you as for mr johnson well he was unwilling to take a combative approach to mr trouble in the united states and as far as he was concerned well there was a spare is a special relationship which shouldn't be disturbed by this fall out i've got a good relationship with the white house and i've had no embarrassment in saying that the united states is has been will be for the foreseeable. future number one political military friend this is perhaps the biggest the most public forming out between the governments of the u.k. and the usa for many years how serious that will get and how much strain it will put on that so-called special relationship really depends on who wins that contest to be the next british prime minister as we've just seen that 2 very different
5:04 pm
responses to donald trump's approach and that will define exactly where this scandal goes from here i talked to global affairs analyst patrick henningsen about this last hour he says the dispute could have an impact on the leadership contest right now for the u.k.'s ruling conservative party certainly comes at an interesting time right in the sort of the midst of the conservative leadership contest britain is due to appoint a new prime minister very soon or at least the tory party i should say is going to appoint a new prime minister not britain there's 2 questions one is who benefits from this leak does anybody benefit from this leak certainly on the sort of the remainer side you could say that they might benefit from this does germy hunt benefit from this certainly boards johnson can because he's the favorite in the leadership contest at the moment but then the other question is who leaked it and why and we don't know that yet. music festival in the us city of detroit has been forced to change its
5:05 pm
ticketing policy after a backlash over charging white people double the price the organizers said quote it reflected the white communities wealth and privilege of privilege excuse me which disadvantages black people despite the afro future fest slogan stating that equality means treating everyone the same and that's what's become the focal point for criticism online. 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 the pricing policy following widespread complaints and even threats against the organizers and their
5:06 pm
families there's now a suggested donation option for quote norman people of color it said 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 and i was not in concert goers angered by all this one of the artists on the bill pulled out 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
5:07 pm
we heard from attorney and author resurfacing who supports the organizers while conservative social commentator anthony bryan logan says that 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 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 see spain and you're able to pay x. amount of dollars if you're not hispanic including black folks you got to pay more
5:08 pm
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 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 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 you know what if it were the other way around if you were a white only even though it was a coach music festival in a say anyway why you go to pay double to take your brace what would the reaction be
5:09 pm
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 has given an initial green light to a major weapons deal with taiwan but china says the potential trade agreement could undermine its sovereignty the pentagon and taiwanese officials have defended the move 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. american lawmakers now have 30 days to make
5:10 pm
a final decision on the deal if it's agreed on taiwan will receive more than $100.00 modernised tanks and $250.00 air defense missiles that along with other weapons takes the total bill to $2200000000.00 the island of taiwan's had a complex history it's been ruled independently since the end of the chinese civil war in $149.00 but it's only recognized by 18 countries none of the major global powers and try to claim that sovereignty over the territory means that 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 we spoke to china expert andrew young who says that the move is part of a wider u.s.
5:11 pm
strategy to contain beijing from the all of the all the united states while it's not just that it was all a chess board all asia pacific security other states in which the you know seeing as being. being a challenge but i was in china but as far as the laws. there is the relations act which. legalizes. the ideas that create. unsingable block area. as a kind of. a fortress. to contain china so i think that this is in the context. feeding us 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
5:12 pm
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 it days gone by saying that back then he was able to reach a compromise even with his biggest rivals like pro segregation congressman during the debate party diehards criticized in favor of having dialogue with 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 no no 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 nonetheless throughout american history the democrats haven't always been pro integration as kate i'm open now explained. joe biden the current front runner in the democratic presidential race has come forward to apologize about statements he made about working with advocates
5:13 pm
of racial segregation i regret it. i'm sorry for any of the pain or misconception i may have caused him but. i don't think you have to be holding a personal relationship 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 and i come he was a party leader he was an elder statesman and he was my friend. that's all remember
5:14 pm
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 land of oz 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
5:15 pm
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 oughta come on down to alabama we did you some low down there you know no. 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
5:16 pm
alabama personally blocking 2 black students from unrolling there. it is. 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 were at the slavery lincoln was republican and the slavery it shane's the dixiecrat after segregation after the civil war they were there races everything was 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
5:17 pm
bubble issue. the us government has moved to relax its ban on the chinese tech giant while way after months of spying allegations the department of commerce announced on tuesday it will allow u.s. firms to sell products to wall way as long as there's no threat to national security this follows president trump's announcement in june that american firms would be allowed to conduct limited trade with the chinese firm although for now it does remain on the so-called entity list of companies acting against u.s. national security washington's repeatedly accused by way of spying for the chinese government and allies around the world to boycott that firm let's see where this leaves us that this kid see is the founder of a city which provides encrypted online communications and file sharing welcome to the program chris how much of a u. turn is this is being seen as the go go the bad guy now. well it depends on who you're talking to what they're you know some day they're the good guy and some days are the bad guy i think in general what's happening right now is that people are
5:18 pm
the u.s. government is is realizing that they need some of the 5 g. technology and who always got it so the question is really you know what is it that they have to do they're going to disrupt a lot of businesses who have used the huawei equipment 1 but on the other hand you know u.s. government is is a major purchaser of these this type of equipment and they will never use weiwei equipment because of course that the whole thing is back doored by the chinese so you know the chinese want to do the same thing that the americans did the chinese which is to put back doors and all the routers and all the phone equipment and of course everyone's aware that's happening right now who always got the jump on the 5 g. so that's why i think what's really happening here because those back doors also technical things that allow things the maintenance they're not just the sinister things that the headlines would have most people believe so is this in some way an admission that the spying allegations have been somewhat exaggerated this year. well i don't
5:19 pm
think the spying exam the spying it's been exaggerated i think it's probably worse than what people have said i think that it's just a question of who gets to spy on who it's like the old mad magazine cartoon spy versus spy and there's a white spy and a black spy and they're out looking to spy on each other and some of the spies play on both sides so you have spies that you know work for the u.s. and work for china and work for russia and work for iran and everybody else you know that's the issue is how do people what are people going to do because the 5 g. technology you know the real issue is of course that the elephant in the room is how disruptive that is to the human body and so the question is really what happens with this 5 g. technology and how can it be weaponized it's not just about the back doors and about the spying but about what the actual use case is when you start getting up into that 60 gigahertz range of the radioactivity or a radiation rather and about 5 g.'s coming anyway our insatiable need for foster
5:20 pm
technology poses as people without devices and companies no country can contain any of that it's coming anyway so is it an easy way for palla controllers like donald trump like g.e. jim paying to be able to help ease that trade war to kind of an easy for them to be able to to usenet. of course it is i mean it's just one more tool in the bag and what they're doing is you know technology has a lot of leverage that's the reason why people are so interested in technology because it can go inside of almost anything and 5 g. is the most insidious kind of technology because it not only is used for communications and people talk about how much faster their videos are going to be on their phones and whatnot it also can be used as a power supply for the internet of things so basically what happens is you have got you instead of having a cell tower every 4 or 5 miles you now have a 5 g. cell tower which is probably every 1500 feet and the reason for that is it doesn't
5:21 pm
travel that far because the frequency so much higher it can't go through so many things it's got to be closer and then what it does is it also allows people to power things so these little chips that they put inside of different devices can be powered and then respond back so if the spying is actually insidious and in fact the 5 g. can go right through people's walls and if you have a viewing device you'll be able to look inside people's houses. you mention about why waste tech that in the tech companies have faith it is being good kit in terms of the 5 g. networks but why we need the custom is the u.s. has led the fray in trying to take away trust and while away with all the spying allegations well now there's this seeming thole how good news is this for beijing and for weiwei. well i think it's a temporary bit of good news i don't think it's the long term solution because what i think is happening now in my opinion is that the chinese government is in big
5:22 pm
trouble they are you know they have been persecuting innocent people for many years it's very well known they've been doing you know industrial scale live organ harvesting forced organ harvesting against people in china and a lot of that's going to come back to them and the people of china the ones that i know who are very good friends of mine you know what they're saying is they're very hopeful that china things change in china with regard to the government there and that i think is what president trump is trying to accomplish but when you look at the big picture of the technology it's even an overarching thing that's even bigger than a government that the technology is so big it's like facebook it's like its own government and the way that technology is operated owned and managed can control people in a way that is not accountable or responsible to any kind of government and ask if we're going to be staring at the streaming h.d. phones tonight is how i could get say from the secure online communications provide
5:23 pm
on the same thanks to time. the british government is challenging a landmark legal ruling suspending new arms sales to saudi arabia a court found last month 13 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. is licensed almost 5000000000 pounds worth of arms to the saudis since they launched their devastating intervention in yemen civil war in 2015 figure makes britain the 2nd largest weapons exporter to the gulf monarchy half of the united states with more on the story is kay 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
5:24 pm
made no concluded assessments on whether the saudi led coalition had committed violations of international community or in law in the past during the yemen conflict and may know what 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 will seek permission 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 it's called 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. saudi arabia has
5:25 pm
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 shows while the review takes place into civilian casualties human rights watch has documented the use of u.k. made weapons in apparently on lawful airstrikes foreign secretary jeremy hunt says suspending british exports would diminish the ukase 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 estee 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 from that means that there will be more arms sales and that means for good what atrocities committed
5:26 pm
because for 4 years no u.k. made fater 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 fair addict because it will do everything it can to maximize arm sales to the so do you really because for decades and decades to say dictatorship has been the 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. london. now europe today thanks for checking in with r.t. international for your news this hour we're back with your latest developments in just over 37 minutes from now see them.
5:27 pm
and let him. think. it. over and i mean do we. really want to see you know the. why is it when you hear the word diversity it's at the expense of unity when there is inclusion but only inclusion when you agree with a certain political and world view and of course we can forget about identity politics if you just agree when you're called
5:28 pm
a dog whistle why did he get here. welcome to the ca's report because or welcome to the summer solace. 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 a 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 results sold on that note i bring in stacy herbert yes and we're with nomi
5:29 pm
prins the author of kulu jand how central bankers rigged the world now you know me i think this is really important for the year 2019 because kulu sion has definitely been the word of the past 23 years in america collusion collusion collusion and the clues it was always with some foreign power that all our domestic issues are actually to do with some foreign power living thousands of miles away by what we're seeing whether it's here or in europe unrest political unrest political discontent certainly their election of donald trump the election well the breaks it vote is that more to do with what central bankers have done so went to central bankers do what choices did they make in 2008 what results are we seeing today in 2019 and then we're going to talk about how to fix it by the way you're going to hear planes helicopters fire trucks all sorts of stuff because we are in malibu
5:30 pm
it's out in the open it's a hot place like people love flying helicopters and airplanes by so just so you know if you hear that that's what the noise is but so what to central banks do in 2008 that got us to where we aren't from 2016 to 21000 and then. we'll talk about how to fix that ok well 1st of all everything you've said is connected so so so let me go back in 2008 what happened was we had an acute financial crisis predicated on the fact that banks created all of these toxic securities and then lend lend money to other banks to buy them and lend money to small towns in norway and california and pension funds to effectively buy toxic assets created out of credit they lent through the mortgage market that happened the fed came in and in an unprecedented manner the federal reserve decided that the way to fix this.
