in return for the continuation of economic privileges from the. presidential. the final few hours of. the parliamentary election. is wait.

for your chiming in from right around the world. to our international my name's eden o'neill our top story a leading name in the hong kong protest movement is set to appeal to u.s. lawmakers have a congressional hearing on future between washington and the chinese autonomous territory just one wants them to pass the hong kong human rights and democracy act which would monitor the region's status with beijing in return for ongoing special economic favors. hong kong is special status under american law that bans on the city being treated as a separate customs area beijing should not have it both ways wrapping all the economy benefit of hong kong standing in the world while erosion of our freedom

that is the most important reason why the hong kong human rights and democracy act and just the sub throws off hong kong civil society ok just one is a prominent student activist who organizes protests against the chinese government in support of hong kong's independence the 22 year old is also a leader of the pro democratic party demo system he's already served several geale terms for his activities mr wong's visit to new york over the weekend drew huge attention from the media the reuters news agency new york times bloomberg were just among those who asked for an interview or indeed invited them to their offices he also gave a speech to students at the prestigious columbia university now one has long supported the hong kong human rights and democracy act and recently said he expects it to be passed easily the bill proposes support for hong kong from the u.s. so long as it remains governed out arm's length from beijing if not that could

trigger washington to revoke the city special status of reports. they are many they've won the fight with the authorities by early submission but they are anything but done the american flag waving taskforce among the hong kong protesters are sending their poster boy to convince us legislators to do something big on autonomy. well for those of you having difficulty making out the absence of this boilerplate script it's that human rights and democracy act and it's meant to shill be doing that the us is serious about fighting for hong kong's rights the united states must make clear to china that its interference in hong kong's affairs will have consequences this month we must pass

a bike cameron bipartisan on consumer rights and democracy act the bill was devised in response to what the u.s. has been calling a chinese infringement on the region's autonomy and requires for america to review own homes special status annually and if that status is ever revoked the region's autonomy would not so much been friendly to but rather new to dust since the early ninety's hong kong has been enjoying huge advantages for wearing washington's special status badge. and some believe that a small yet vocal group of protesters is laying an explosive tripwire for the whole region which will not enjoy the konami chain reaction if it's ever triggered in

a way that is the villages. signal of the ready biggest economy in the world without us this city will always just ordered. well it was going to hold a great deal but it's not just the whole poorly there are thousands all united states don't believe in all of it would likewise be affected of course it's full of a cold war because. it calls only or percent of china's economy previously say the tale of the deal years ago in me a call to all moral as far as equality is also. all but low is always sent but on the other hand of course we law i would wish the one country to succeed so as to help china with the internationalization agreement with the insolence of all american legislators say the bill is designed to punish mainland china specifically as protesters want shown. but while the end goal may very well

be punishing beijing in pursuit of a geo political supremacy washington my just overlook the collateral damage. racism is a touchstone topic for us democratic joe biden's push for the white house on sunday he gave an impassioned speech at a black church but a few days earlier during a presidential debate when priscilla's segregation on the legacy of slavery he switched to lecture african americans on how they should bring up their children he looked up and explains how biden's been caught out before crossing the line from empathy to come the century. joe biden formerly the vice president is now running in the democratic primary enjoys a huge amount of support from the african-american voters and he wants them to know he really cares about them what responsibility do you think that americans need to take to repair the legacy of slavery in our country make sure that we bring into

the help was to say to the teachers deal with the problems that come from home we bring social workers into homes and parents to help them deal with how to raise their children it's not that they want to help they don't want they don't know quite what to do play the radio make sure the television the scrutiny make sure you have the record player on the phone make sure the kids hear words a kid coming from a very poor school or a very poor background who hear 4000000 words fewer spoken by the time they get there the record player now he seems a couple decades behind on modern technology but it's also a tad bit condescending don't you think now some are calling it shaming biden is the liberal racist why downs better start calling this out because black women are watching if joe biden isn't forced out of the running now i give up 1st he looks into the camera and laughs at the mansion of racial inequality in us schools and we

could racists that he describes black homelite and parenting in a way that is stunningly ignorant and insulting to biden's son on how to address the literacy of slavery was up. i'm going to school. now this isn't the 1st time that joe is flubbed an answer when it comes to a racial issue he made some remarks when barack obama was selected as the democratic party candidate in 2008 that he probably meant to sound like a compliment i mean you get the 1st mainstream african-american whose are to cool it and bright and clean and a nice looking guy joe biden's comments point to an increasing phenomenon in us society being referred to as a liberal racism joe biden is not burning a cross or arguing that non-whites are inferior but he does seem to have a touch of a white savior complex he comes across as condescending to those he thinks he's helping a study refers to it as a competence downshift and joe biden is not the only one what liberals may

unwittingly draw negative stereotypes demean themselves down in a largely well meaning folksy but ultimately patronize ing attempt to connect with the outgroup democratic party is pretty put on our list economy you can look you see all her policies from the welfare state to dave put into place to live think blacks generally aren't smart. and really would point to the democrats projecting a lot of their own insecurities upon everyone knows do say everyone is races everyone is it seems everyone is all those day and when it's really them they feel that way and it's hard to say that it's the other side actually feels that way for decades the democratic party has been promising to help minorities in the united states but do party leaders actually see them as equal members of society well joe biden's recent comments have got plenty of people asking that question. r.t. new york. just under 3 hours left of voting israel decides the

fate of incumbent prime minister benjamin netanyahu in precedented repeats of april's parliamentary election he is locked in a tight contest with centrist rival benny ortiz polis near brought us more earlier from jerusalem. well known political parties are expected to be part of the next israeli parliament all the israeli knesset and the competition here really boils down to 2 men the incumbent prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his right wing likud party and his former defense chief benny guns and his small same to lift blue and white party and office the same scenario 6 months ago when we had the previous elections which netanyahu won but despite winning them he was unable to form a majority $61.00 mandates out of $128.00 parliament seats many suspect that the same scenario could unfold and so regardless of whether it's guns or whether it's the time we are who we might have a son arya and it's increasingly likely that neither is able to form a majority government or so give me some more ideas sort of. doing to boost his

support base of like well like any politician that's fighting for his political survival netanyahu has been making a lot of promises the most recent of which is that he said should he be reelected he will end next west bank settlements and adored in valley and for anyone who thought that the peace process between israelis and palestinians wasn't already did this certainly was the last nail in the coffin he has also started negotiating a u. s. israel defense treaty i had a call with prime minister netanyahu to discuss the possibility of moving forward with a mutual defense treaty between the united states and israel they would further the tremendous alliance between our 2 countries thank you my dear friend president trump the jewish state has never had a greater friend in the white house the american president donald trump has been playing an enormous role in the israeli elections back in april just before the previous elections he made the bold statement that the americans recognize the israeli hold over the golan heights and this is despite the fact that

a contravenes international law and has remained a contentious issue ever since the heights were taken over by israel from syria back in 1967 in a moment i will sign a presidential proclamation recognizing. israel's sovereign right over the golan heights netanyahu has been using trump in his election campaign you just need to drive down any street in this country and you see both leaders beaming from election posters on any of the main streets in israel a political analyst earns on average around $180000.00 salary a year and yet the support that netanyahu gets from trump which is so much bigger is essentially priceless should this country head to a 30 lection which is what many here suspect and fear the question is just what else is trump going to promise in the 10 yahoo. parliament in israel the knesset dissolved itself in may after netanyahu is failure to form a coalition on the disputes on the growing influence of the ultra-orthodox jewish

minority the military draft privileges $100.00 to the minority has become a stumbling block turning into a bar for netanyahu the chances of forming a coalition with the nation's former defense foreign minister while the incumbent pm has quite heavily relied on the endorsement of the ultra orthodox community of big door lieberman has been spoken opponent of the advantages they've been receiving. the ultra orthodox establishment have a very strong hold of the israeli politics in israeli

government i think it affects our lives. that the orthodox make their own rules i they want to make themselves different from the other people i don't think they're affected too much except from probably things like. public transportation in israel in in saturday i don't have buses instead on saturdays we want to go to the beach and the laws that they're trying to pass are not. according to my opinions but we should accept them as well as much as we accept other laws from other communities i truly believe in diversity but still i think they should live their lives and wishes we supposed to live our lives. if you see this live television there was still to come on the program it's been revealed at our website for a british muslim teens has actually been part funded by the government we look at

how it's leading to accusations of suspicious social engineering after the break. when else truths seem wrong. but also just don't hold. the world yet to shape our history to educate and indeed trade equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. wanted. to go right to the pros this is

what before 3 of them or you could get. interested in the water. issue. 60 minutes into the program welcome back taliban militants say they're behind 2 deadly bombings in afghanistan which killed dozens this choose the one explosion was near the u.s. embassy in the capital kabul which the interior ministry now safe house killed 22 shortly before a suicide bomber struck a campaign rally for the afghan president in the northern part one province reportedly killing 24 and injuring dozens of others the taliban had threatened to

increase attacks on afghan forces on their western backers after peace talks failed with the u.s. . based journalist phasey spoke to the program earlier. so i spoke to the one of the spokesperson officer for god he said to use weather and he's unhurt but the expectations were high because of the strong hold off the biggest u.s. bases in but for all that sound it's very close to the capital kabul and the expectations were like the security must be very tight but still there was a guy that's in the suicide bomber used them detonated and killed many people the prevention of governor office this spokesperson said the 2 sides bomber was riding a motorbike and detonated his explosives at the for the 1st checkpoint to where the rally was taking place on the other hand there was another explosion in the capital kabul ministry of interior confirmed the explosion that took place nearby the u.s.

embassy also there is a ministry of defense facility actually the explosion took place right out the gate off the the emotive facility or registry of defense facilities we do know that the taliban have warned people not to participate in the elections are not to recognize this government as a legitimate government both to talabani and also to government they have increased their operations against each other. ok moving the program on a lifestyle website for british muslim teens has become a likely flashpoint it's been revealed that the home office has been cool directly funding it as part of the country stream this and strategy a move that's infuriated employees readers in the wider muslim community. if you're a young muslim women living in the u.k. and this is the website for you at least that's what the creators want to believe. this is a global media platform for young muslim ours in the east london and beyond to

share and create inspiring and empowering content with positivity at its core inspiring but now it's been exposed after it was revealed that the site is being funded covertly by the u.k. home office in an attempt to tackle radicalization and now 2 employees have resigned over the controversial funding one of them says working the betrayed her believes in my neighbors here so that through this opportunity our super sister is a really good help to make real change pushing forward a different narrative from muslim women themselves sure when though we are empowered and multifaceted are realized now there with the home office funding the project at the root there was no way i could do this regardless of the content i was pushing out well the project was set up in 2015 in direct response to 3 approaches schoolgirls including baker running away to syria and whether they flee from london the very same place super sisters is targeting now it's made up of 9 staff members from jayco media and they secured their funding from something called

building a stronger britain together which is an arm of the controversial terrorism. which has been accused of targeting and spying on myths and communities in the u.k. now while many see that as a fundamental infringement of rights the home office has always defended its efficiency while super says this has like notion apologize for their wrongdoing they insist that they have full control over their content. we want to emphasize that even though b. s.b.c. may funders they do not have any creative control over super systems content where we acknowledge we were wrong and we apologize for it is not more clearly stating the source of funding on the super sisters' instagram blog not just our website we have always been clear and transparent to the interview stage on how we often did including at sub hours interview at least that's what they say but so by smale a former employee says that there were no female muslims on the creative or editorial team plus she was only recently made aware of the controversial funding well it's left some people very angry and hurt by the revelations these revelations

are shocking former contributors have claimed that at one point there were no muslim women employed by g.e. go where you know they did toral for super sisters if i was a teenage muslim in today's environment i would be utterly confused and feel like i was constantly being spied upon by my own government. not setup by muslims not run by muslims you're trying to define young muslim women's identity thank you but muslim women can speak for themselves well super says this is just the latest platform to be embroiled in a transparency route just a few weeks ago a social media network team called this is woke a page claiming to engage in critical thinking m.s.m. traditions was found to be receiving funding from you guessed it the home office or the problem is 1st of all the home office seems to the only thing is seized in the muslim community is extremism in many ways this is really. engine hearing of

trying to say that there is something fundamentally wrong with muslims in the mainstream and we need to socially engineer to sort of changed so they will not be problematic living in our society it really is sort of extension of seeing the whole muslims as possible terrorist and so therefore we should have these projects to change them into something more acceptable so perhaps the young muslim women in the u.k. right now be slightly more hopeful the new home secretary pretty patel who herself is from minority background might now be slightly more sisterly shouted stash to r.t. u.k. london. hello a story to bring you the u.s. ambassador to serbia is calling on people there to look at the quote broader perspective and put the nato bombings in 1909 behind them echoing similar comments

you made a week ago we don't ask the serbs to forget the recent history but we are asking you to look at the bigger picture. 2 decades ago nato launched a ferocious bombing operation against the federal republic of yugoslavia during the kosovo conflict the alliance leadership claimed it was carried out to prevent the genocide of the albanian population in cos the operation lasted a devastating 78 days we asked people in serbia what they thought about the ambassador's comments. that the bombing campaign was not justified in any way it was a terrible crime our government should sue for compensation. but the un security council never approved the nato bombing so it can only be considered an act of aggression it is impossible for several in america to be on good terms because the us government will always view serbia as a little version of russia america for the americans everything they do is

justified vietnam hiroshima and nagasaki the native american genocide and so on they did not just bone loss they took part of our territory that you cannot justify what they did how can you defend the animation whatever he did or didn't do or serbian canadian filmmaker bara smaller gursky say is the almost busy lot of bombings back then still affects serbians to this day they don't use depleted uranium in bombing serbia and we are feeling the effects to date there is a parliamentary commission that. released its findings in serbia claiming that the uranium that was used in the bombing is still affecting the cancer rate in serbia that is iraqi since 1909 but it did in $1009.00 is affecting us to date and as the search for get that especially because u.s. policy towards serbia has not changed from 1958 yes they're not dropping bombs but

the whole reason for the leader bombing was to illegally take over our serbia and that is the province of kosovo so this is the united states recognizes. depends of course what they are pushing for serbia to recognize it's a balance so if the united states really wanted to get over the past and everything troubles us from them then they will be the ones to change its policy probably is how a some of choose these news stories are shaping up in a dear oh we'll be here in just over 30 with all the latest updates to stay close now though for more great art programs beginning in moments. world is driven by a dream shaped by. the

dares thinks. we dare to ask. is a tense situation in venezuela is still all over the news the problem in venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been praised only implemented from the inside venezuela things were different we're going to announce sanctions against petroleum to venezuela associated. in a story that have a son of a moment going. down that political battle so on the campaign the mattapan of the moment the focus of the whole story isn't new makes him cold in

henry kissinger to tell him that it would not be tolerated that in latin america. an alternative economic and social system could take hold and therefore the policy would be to make the chilean economy scream so once now making the economy of venezuela a school. just loose. you seem like.
