sparking a furious public and political backlash over democracy the british prime minister has his request. granted by the queen. takes a big gamble to get over the line. against the door of a 3 and a half 1000000 liters of water from florida every day. threatening areas biodiversity. european web developers conference. with no females we debate whether the industry is struggling to keep up with the times. it's very unlikely in the real world that somebody would just not want somebody to speak on the grounds of the. i'm sorry to say. i'm glad to say it's not

absolutely. you today welcome to the program. 3 years after a majority of brits voted to leave the e.u. and with parliament still paralyzed and suffering from a severe crisis of legitimacy boris johnson has decided to shut it down the radical move means that after they suspend takes effect lawmakers will not reconvene until 2 weeks before the break. even little time to pass legislation preventing a no deal departure. has the details. boris johnson is being well boris he's being bold as brass and he wants to 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 can't the lawmakers a quick refresher if you've been avoiding the news because you just can't take the b. word anymore for a number 1010 and to resume a who's carney getting away from it all hiking in the swiss alps spent 3 years trying to deliver after the referendum something we are definitely clear on bricks it means bricks it bricks it needs wrecks 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 brussels wasn't very happy about how to bit

a juror 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 ardent bricks a tear and leave can figurehead johnson promise to take the u.k. out of the european union by how do we deal oh no deal and that's really riled so where are we now well just 2 months from b. day and with parliament due to be suspended before it's. got going and only have 2 weeks 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 is being bypassed and. not democratic it's a catastrophe so anybody who tried to bring it in would be. a what the people voted for i think it's a constitutional outrage he wants to see. you know when. it's self-important little man you know blame any problems on others and he will be patted on the back for delivering bricks and when an election that's what he sees boris johnson should do everything he can. to get breaks for it 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 declaring over to leg breck said ok perhaps it was a little rogue ish 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 bulldoze britain away from brussels altie london or british political commentator told us he believes the impasse over brooks it forced. to take such dramatic action . i think you left with no choice i think he sidestepped around the accordion now has given him permission to suspend barman and they keep talking about for weeks exactly. number 13 cause a 1000000 people marched on a petition 17400000 people democratically voted in the largest democratic exercise

this country's ever known chile so let's put the petition you want so yes i believe boris johnson and what deliver whether all beautiful to do is like me want. to know terms i don't know but it surely loaches trees amazed dead in the water and boris johnson is for once as a politician trying to deliver what he promised i think we should be saluting their . environmental activists have reacted with anger after the merge that nestlé seeking permission to extract millions of liters of water every day from natural springs in florida santa fe river it's part of a push by the food and beverage company to increase its bottled water production of the river runs through the north of the state and is rich in biodiversity among animal species that live there for instance or 15 breeds of titles so you can systems are already considered to be at risk though due to years of overpumping and shit in a scheme unities in canada have also been complaining of nestle's activity saying

they've been losing access to clean water they want the petition calling on their government to stop permitting the exploitation of the local rivers are vast nestle for comment we've not yet received a response however the company has always maintained that adheres to all relevant regulatory standards and seeks to ensure the protection and preservation of the rivers it draws water from we asked riverkeeper to join quarterman what he thinks of nestle's latest plans. i think that senator the river already has problems but too little water last thing it is nestle drawing more water out and selling it back to us and plastic bottles that people will then have to clean up on the rivers and springs and have it right near this nestle public water they suck up water now. our springs really hard to rebuild so those on their roofs madison county that's on the rookie river which is in our basin they paid

if i recall correctly the ground some of the $128.00 a few decades ago that's all that. they get a huge amount of water. that in bottles like this which people throw it on the river so in addition to that pollution it's also causing the local to go right now. 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. but we tend to think of the tech industry as being at the forefront of tomorrow's wealth also leading the way in equality and diversity among staff it seems though one european web developers conference in germany didn't get that memo the spot promising a rich and diverse lineup it's capsule looked i was event after

a number of delicate subject in that no women speak as we're taking part in this year's conference seems to have gone with the white males only conference lineup shame is 2019 we can do better there were numerous speakers with 2 sessions myself included that works up in the session but no women at all i'm not comfortable that they organize have said that only one female submitted a session proposal critics say though 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 i think were 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 the 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 age to say that you are going to have people in and effectively racially or sexually profiled i just say we're not interested what your speech is going to bait we're not interested your level of talent we're not interested in the relevancy all were interesting 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 who got pushed out what all the applied there was basically no candidates now how will the earth is that the fault of men it's very unlikely in the real world that 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 i don't 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 still happening i wish it wasn't but unless it's get spoken about i don't think much will change. that. daily caller a new site has revealed that a number of u.s. democratic presidential hopefuls have been taking donations from hedge fund managers with a stake and pushing recruits soaring that that's despite the fact that those same kind of events have made repeated attacks on donald trump for failing to address the on interrogatories 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. bunty 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 trying to snub puerto rico didn't sign a disaster relief bill at 1st. he's changed full 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 how 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. can issues 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 at the same time say that they're concerned about this country is one of the worst things that i've 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 are to new york. through feuding parties form a new coalition government in italy scuttling of power play by the country's anti law group interior minister stay with us for the details right after the break. and when else seems wrong. why don't we just don't. let me. get to see. this day come down to. and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

what politicians do. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. want to. be right it's like the 43 in the morning can't be good. interested always in the why. should. the international italy's just got a new coalition government this day that saw for the 5 star movement struck a last minute deal with the democratic party to scotland by the country's popular

but deeply divisive interior minister to take power 2 weeks ago sylvie brought down his own ruling coalition in the hope of triggering elections thanks to his rival's negotiations though that's not how he scored an agreement an 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 their seats this is the real truth there are just 100 m.p.'s clinging to their seats so 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 into bitter enemies strolling hand in hand to form a new government that's the democratic party and the 5 star movement of the president today. we told the president we have reached

a deal with the democratic party that would allow concert to be the next premier and try to form a long lasting government. we have expressed to the president of the republic our support for the attempt to create a new government with a new political majority why have the 2 forces being brought together well this always all is the result of the 4 partners a 5 star movement headed by the storm 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 so we need one of italy's perhaps most popular politicians at the moment has been frozen cold to the

government described as being made up of. millions of italians are probably wondering why vote if those who were kicked out by elections really enter via the back door just. political games. 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 2nd he was the prime minister in the last coalition government 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 much to yourself being he could get his wish and it's a he could see snap elections before those scheduled ones at the moment pasted in

for 2023. years training government so there's going to set up an intelligence taskforce to investigate perceived foreign interference in its universities the country's education minister cited the growing vulnerability of australia's institutions in the face of foreign adversity. calling to the lightest advice from these try and charge a security say into the targeting of a strain universities continues to increase state sponsored. my use university network infrastructure due to their reliability and high and very traffic. to hide in the noise the federal government is working with the university sector to develop based practice guidelines for dealing with foreign interference. although no particular state has been named directly the finger is now being pointed at chinese students who account for close to a 3rd of all foreign students in australia last month the university of queensland

saw tensions between supporters of the hong kong protests and those in favor of beijing in other cases some teaching materials have sparked outrage among chinese students as it described china and taiwan as 2 separate states if you strongly opposed by beijing or the chinese foreign ministry there has denied any involvement in australian politics in calling the notion extremely irresponsible of. china's so-called infiltration of australia and other similar claims are totally fabricated and underpinned by ulterior motives politicizing education and co-operation an artificially create an obstacle is not good for either side. let's bring injuries of shang who's our hong kong based political scientist thanks for joining us good to have you on today it's not the 1st time as it were here accusations against china against beijing of its malign activities or influence what's behind these latest ones coming from australia. well as you said. australia

. has become very concerned with interference influences under the floor of the east and in very entrenched 17 there was a foreign interference a small fast again this piece of legislation was very much in china certainly one 3rd of the foreign students coming from china. are they have a very very significant presence in australia and university campuses these students need well be companies you eat members communist party of china and therefore the meaning there is close contact with the chinese embassy and it's a nice consulate. which in turn have have been able to monitor their political activities and more polite stand the reason you then certainly have been the

confrontations between hong kong students and don'ts for the millionth time. how do you think these claims are going to affect these chinese students and indeed chinese nationals in general that australia. in general this will affect the inmate of chinese students in australia and this will heighten australia their societies concern about me's in the future in. australia i don't think this is a lived strategy to display such mobile most asian power such. as you know certain university campuses and in australian politics australia is a relatively small country donations of 6 figure sum are considered big donations and yet these are peanuts in the eyes of major chinese state owned corporations which will easily mobilize tens of billions of dollars in terms of

nations and therefore australian universities which are very dependent on foreign students as a source of income we just consider it's for services as well as contributions donations from the from the society including the chinese community in australia therefore it can be easy subject to influence by its chinese with market front there that. speaking of influence there i mean this issue of what's going on here in hong kong it's been very divisive of people in hong kong chinese residents and citizens abroad as well why do you think an assumption has been made that it's namely external influence causing these opinions and causing these tensions instead of generally held belief by people just briefly. well i think there is substantial mobilization power over time we still didn't

communities in australia and i think the united front having spent so much money from the time to sell for peace were also allowed to demonstrate a small station power its influence and so on and probably even being on the phone has been open doing things the image for china certainly and seen the negatives and i think the subject of these also. the feelings of hong kong and the chinese of priorities may well face the loss of the high and high young generation of hong kong people whether they are in hong kong or outside of hong kong. ok joseph chang hong kong by political scientist thanks for joining us great to get your tech today all those of us. that's it for us out the team are back in 30 minutes time with the latest global news update see you back then.
