britain's. democratic disaster worsens as prime minister boris johnson moves to shut down a parliament an able and willing to deliver on the referendum result. a number of us democratic party's presidential candidates take donald trump to task over his record on puerto rico it's real though that some of the same with 2020 donations from hedge fund managers who've been cashing in on the crisis. and environmental activists protest. to draw over 3 and a half 1000000 liters of water every day from florida's santa fe river saying it

would threaten the biodiversity genie springs. from almost can use it with you today thanks for joining us here at international. 3 years after a majority of brits voted to leave the e.u. and with parliament still power lies and suffering from a severe crisis of legitimacy or is johnson has decided to shut it down the radical move means that after the suspension takes effect lawmakers will not reconvene until 2 weeks before the break. i believe a little time to pass legislation preventing a no deal departure. has more. boris johnson is being well boris he's being bold as brass and he wants breakfast come what may rather. what you do when parliament won't play ball you suspend it he needed her majesty's permission to do

that which he thought we don't get a week into october the 31st before getting on with our plans to take this country forward we are going to have a queen's speech and we're going to do it all october 14th and we've got to move ahead with a new program but why don't the lawmakers a quick refresher if you've been avoiding the news because you just can't take the b. word anymore for number 10 talent a reason may who's currently getting away from it all hiking in the swiss selves spent 3 years trying to deliver tracks that are to the referendum something we are definitely clear of bricks it means bricks it bricks it needs rex it wrecks it means bricks it and we're going to make a success of it but parliament had other ideas patchy shouting had out even might have heard a key points had her reaching for her water then she found that russell's wasn't very happy about how to bit adhere to old blighty and wouldn't budge on key points

like the irish backstop to maintain a seamless border on the emerald isle they managed to thrash out a deal though and may tried 3 times to push it through parliament no luck so she shared a tear and left i do so with no ill will but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had to the opportunity to serve the country i love. and to boris johnson. and leave can think ahead johnson promise to take the u.k. out of the european union by how do we deal. and that's really riled so where are we now well just 2 months from a day and with parliament due to be suspended before it's. got going and peace will only have to meet to try to block a new deal brant said everyone's crying foul saying it's a constitutional crisis others though have just had enough he's gone on for so long

now we just need to get on with it because it's just causing more trouble whole process is discussed in. parliament has been bypassed and is. not democratic it's a catastrophe so anybody who tried to bring it in would be. a well the people voted for i think it's a constitutional outrage he wants to see. you know when. you know. self-important little man will blame any problems on others and he will be patted on the back for delivering bricks and win an election that's what he sees boris johnson should do everything he can. to get back to if you can't get it through he's out although where is cynics point out that what's really on democratic our m.p.'s in westminster spending 3 years in piles of taxpayers' money by destroying over to leg breck said ok perhaps it was a little wrong to disrupt the queen's summer holiday in scotland and maybe

suspending parliament was quite drastic for what's supposed to be a parliamentary democracy that's apparently taking back control but then this is boris johnson who's never been one for the convention and it has been 3 years already just about every hour for new explored every negotiation tactic used every amendment can sit it so maybe just maybe it's going to get his way and bill does britain away from brussels. r.t. london british political commentator john gaunt told us he believes the impossible brix it forced to take the current step of suspending parliament. i think you left with no choice i think he sidestepped around recording now has given him permission to suspend parliament and they keep talking about full weeks exactly fall day number one cause a 1000000 people marsland a petition 17400000 people democratically voted in the largest democratic exercise

this country's ever known to leave so let's put the petition to one side yes i believe boris johnson would deliver breaks whether all beautiful gravity's like me want. cio terms i don't know but it certainly looks as if there are trees amazed dead in the water and boris johnson is for wants as a politician trying to deliver what he promised i think we should be saluting their . daily call a new site has revealed that a number of us democratic presidential hopefuls have been taking donations from hedge fund managers with a stake in puerto rican soaring debt at the spike the fact that those same candidates have made repeated attacks on donald trump for failing to address the oil and territories desperate economic situation.

puerto rico is just like the rest of the united states except it isn't and if their votes don't count in the final election why should presidential candidates care. went to candidates 5 moderators 2 debates and only one mention of puerto rico in democratic debate that took place in florida home wolf want point 2000000 puerto ricans and these are the progressive what comes to going after donald trump anything goes even the all but forgotten puerto rico democrat certainly did speak

up when trump snub puerto rico didn't sign a disaster relief bill at 1st. it's shameful the way we treated puerto rico when the islands i'm not even sure people in the president's administration knew poor 3 kings are all citizens if we're talking about territories let's make sure the people of d.c. actually get senators let's make sure the people of puerto rico are actually treated like fellow u.s. citizens that they are and let's make sure that we have some handle on the financial future of this country very honorable of them but what is not honorable is cashing in on puerto rico's difficulties and big hedge fund managers have been lending lots of money to puerto rico money the government cannot pay back and those very same hedge funds are now funding the democrats joe biden has gotten roughly $25000.00 from hedge funds like oak tree capital black rock and to comic capital and he's not alone a coalition of puerto rican activists is calling for the democrats to give that

money back these hedge funds have pushed a program over stary team privatization in order to secure dep amens in that in many cases could not be paid by the puerto rican government the lives of countless puerto ricans have been destroyed as a result create a ricans will be denied a better future if hedge funds are allowed to continue to profit from austerity and privatisations on the island you can either stand with the people of puerto rico or with the hedge funds that have harmed puerto rico you can't do both but so far only bernie sanders and elizabeth warren have returned their donations these democrats did not pay any attention to puerto. tennis shoes it till they had an opportunity to criticize the president and isn't that ironic isn't that so hypocritical that it wasn't until they had an opportunity to find a criticism with president trump that they found puerto rico even an issue for them

they should have been addressing this the entire time if this was important to them the only reason it's important now is because they found a way to criticize donald trump these hedge fund do nations are the core of hypocritical the fact that these democrats can sit back take these donations where people are profiting off of the economic problems in puerto rico and then if the same time say that they're concerned about this country is one of the worst things that i have seen i think when these democrats accept donations they don't check and i think they check only when it's convenient for them and they want to look at donald trump's campaign donations but they don't want to look at themselves and they don't want to look at the fact that they are taking donations off of the very thing that they say that they're against so far hedge funds making money off of puerto rico's debt crisis have donated roughly $230900.00 to democrats who are running in the 2020 alexion imagine what that kind of money could do for the people

of puerto rico table artsy new york. voter mindset activists have reacted with anger often emerge that mislay is seeking permission to extract millions of liters of water every day from natural springs in florida's santa fe river a spot of a push by the food and beverage company to increase its bottled water production the river runs through the north of the state and is rich in diversity among the animal species that live there for instance 15 breeds of titles so you can systems already considered to be at risk due to use of the pumping. indigenous communities in neighboring kind of there have also been complaining of nestle's activity saying they've been losing access to clean rooms the petition calling on the government to stop them with an explanation over local rivers. we have asked nestlé for comment we've not yet received a response of the company does insist it's always maintained that it appears to all relevant regulate free status and seeks to ensure the protection and preservation

of the rivers it draws water from we spoke to ricky put john cotton about what he thinks of nestle's latest plans i think that senator the river already has problems too little water last thing it is nestle drawing more water out and selling it back to us in plastic bottles that people will then have to clean up on the rivers and springs and have it right near this is a nestle public water they suck up water now. our springs really hard to read but it's those on their roofs madison county that's on the at the dixie river which is in our basin they paid if i recall correctly the ground some of the 128 dollars a few decades ago that's all that. they get a huge amount of water. good in bottles like this which people throw it on the

river so in addition to the pollution it's also causing the local to go right now just because we need that water or drinking for agriculture or industry we don't really need it to be making profit sure the swiss company for something that nobody actually needs. we tend to think of the tech industry as being at the forefront of tomorrow's wealth and also leading the way in equality and diversity among staff it seems though one european web developers conference in germany didn't get that number by promising a rich and diverse lineup it's council looked i was event after a number of delicate subject that no women speakers were taking part. this year's conference seems to have gone with the white males only conference line up shame is 2019 we can do better there were numerous speakers with 2 sessions myself included

workshop in the session but no women at all i'm not comfortable that the organizers have said that out of $250.00 applicants to speak at the conference only one was female critics say that those behind the event should have reached out to more women we asked our guests for their thoughts on the controversy. the fact is that women are still half the population think we're just marginally over the half and the people organizing it seem to be a group of men it was their duty. the requirement to ensure that they had a wide range of people to speak about the issues that they wanted to debate when you want to be diverse you know on some occasions will be more willing speakers on some occasions with more bad speakers but it is also the also the child to say if you're going to have people in and effectively racially or sexually profiled i just say we're not interested what your speech is good debate we're not interested your

level of talent we're not interested in the relevancy all were interested in is the color of your skin or your gender that is a joke the point is not about qualifications the point is about a culture which i'm sorry to say you seem to represent which is which is about accusing women of daring to be in your workplaces that would be a further comment if the women had applied local got pushed out one woman applied there was basically no candidates now how old earth is that the fault of men it's very unlikely in the real world. that somebody would just not want somebody to speak on the grounds of their gender i don't think that's very realistic i don't think that's something that's really going to happen i don't just don't think it's it's factually accurate it does happen i'm sorry to say either i'm sorry to say it does happen i'm glad to say it's not absolutely widespread but you may be in your little. haven in which everything is right and rosy but for lots of women though

lots of ways in which women are excluded however competent they are i'm sorry that's still happening i wish it wasn't but unless it's get spoken about i don't think much will change. the feud. he's formed a new coalition government in italy scuttling a power play by the country's interior minister stay with us for all the details of this short break. join me every day on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sport i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.

please. i.

know but i think. we're buddies. he. should have been there so. you should know that if you're not a yankee. taking any kind of ticket. you need to move. the ball with. the program is that he just got a new coalition government. for the 5 star movement struck

a last minute deal with the democratic party to scuttle an attempt by the country's popular but deeply divisive interior minister to take power 2 weeks ago salvini brought down his own ruling coalition in the hope of triggering elections but thanks to his rivals negotiations that's not happened is calling their agreement and affront to democracy. the real truth is that 60000000 italians are being held hostage by the 100 m.p.'s that are afraid of losing. this is the real truth there are just 100 m.p.'s clinging to see. you can call that a democracy but then don't be surprised if people say why do i need to vote well talian politics is a bit of a minefield some describing the latest crisis as being the most craziest yet what resulted is in 2 bitter enemies now strolling hand in hand to form

a new government that's the democratic party and the 5 star movement of them a little president today. we told the president we have reached a deal with the democratic party. to be the next premier and try to form a long lasting government. but we have expressed to the president of the republic how much support for the attempt to create a new government with a new political majority why have the 2 forces been brought together well this always all is the result of the 4 partners a 5 star movement headed by the anti immigration interior minister. trying to pull down the last government in the hope of having snap elections that's because he was boid by polls showing that he was on 38 or 39 percent in terms of approval ratings and thinking that perhaps he could go it alone and form his new own government if they were fresh elections held in italy but that's not to be as

these 2 are the parties who are both perhaps lacking in the polls able to form this next government so we need a known as one of italy's perhaps most popular politicians the moment has been frozen cold government described as being made. millions of italians are probably wondering why vote if those who were kicked out by elections really enter via the back door just for political games before the crisis is not yet. this still a lot of tricky hurdles for the new italian government to meander through including creating a new budget that brussels will approve the new government will be led by just said he was the prime minister in the last coalition government and i'm going to buy donald trump in g.

7 berates will he be the glue that holds these 2 parties together or is he going to be pulled into very different directions with parties with pretty much at most points opposing ideology there is still a chance that mattel yourself being he could get his wish and italy could see snap elections before those scheduled ones at the moment pasted in 42023. palestinian student has been barred from entering the united states over facebook posts made by his friends 17 year old ismail ajo we had secured a place at harvard was deported to lebanon after u.s. customs and border protection deemed him inadmissible the student says that upon arrival in america an immigration official questioned him for hours about his religious beliefs and friends online activity on the job as part of the interrogation he says he was ordered to unlock his phone and computer which were then examined for hours while the border officer did allegedly find and to us posts

in his contacts social media accounts his own pages didn't contain anything critical of washington. i have no single post on my timeline discussing politics the agent said that she found people posting political points of view that opposed the us on my friend list i responded that i didn't like share or comment on them and told her that i shouldn't be held responsible for what others post in a statement to al-jazeera u.s. customs and border protection said only that and joe was banned from entry based on information discovered during the inspection of a spokesman said on tuesday that the university is working closely with the students family and the authorities so that is my all can join his classmates in the coming days university's president has also previously criticized the trumpeter ministrations visa restrictions and so called muslim bad last year for $37000.00 applications rejected we spoke to a palestinian journalist ramzy but what about that case. it's

a very dangerous precedent it's not something that only palestinians or arabs should be worried about but i think everyone else including americans should be worried about it as well but it's also part of the larger trajectory of anti palestinian measures that have been taken by this administration for years only a few days prior to what happened with ismail at joe we wasn't the state department has removed any reference to palestine or that kind of scene authority from its page this is also a continuation of the crackdown on any aid that is delivered to the palestinians so we are seeing here a trend and this trend is worsening day after day and we have what we are witnessing in my opinion is a process of a complete a researcher of palestine the palestinian people and as people

deserving of rights of freedom of travel of freedom of expression and freedom of education and so forth and so on. since you know if a boom bust coming your way just a few of it's travel back in 30 minutes with the latest global news headlines. to get up off the ground in the office or begin to pay him down to. hurt themselves on the sounds of kind of fighting into a grown man like wrestling essentially. through his or her own. wish to do away from the office or leave the toys out of his crib. the obvious or did they kind of lunge for the web in one's midst and then when it happened on

trace one as i just didn't hit them i never saw any contact between the 2 any kind went back to where they were so the answers back here they're high again 15 feet apart at this point and that's when the officer pulled out his gun and he did it on 3. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to be left. to the right to be press that's allowed them before 3 of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of. course should. i why a paradise with some ground turned into a round the experimentation field but agricultural chemicals we know that these

chemicals have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise why would that the chemical company workers themselves be geared up that suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments but often in vain you have many of these people who have one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of environmental racism going on in hawaii whether these companies feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power. said she stressed to. the so that the british at the bill of the. us to.

stop the show so i could see the face to face which cut off. which see death and i know what you. are best teacher for a moment to me what you. want to talk to me sort of you're my it's your bonus for trivia. it's a mistake so it's a quarter until. there's this interview but you believe that that it's history to actually. listen to revoke or should stop and spin it. expressed. during the great depression which i'm old enough to remember that it was most of my family were employed. there wasn't it was bit you know much worse objectively than today but there was an expectation that things were going to get better. there was

a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america was shaped by the turn principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduced democracy attack solo doubt engineer elections manufacture consent and other principle holds according to no i'm trying to get one set of rules for the rich opposite. that's what happens when you put her into the. narrow sector of will switch will is dedicated to increasing power for chills just as you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america. when i was truths that seemed wrong. but old rules just don't hold. any new world

that you get to shape out of disdain and become the educated and indeed from it equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart as we choose to look for common ground. this is boom bust broadcasting around the globe and covering the world of business and finance from the soft and gentle brito and i'm 50 i know washington has a look at what's on that today the bad part of the global economy thank you piling outfit on them gloomy picture professor richard wolfe is on hand to sift through

what may be on the horizon. to lose or don't strengthen and just maybe.
