right question. the right answers. question. comes just as secretary is surrounded by a mob of anti beijing activists during a visit to london to raise the chunk was pushed big round of left badly shaken. up by the u.s. ambassador to the ukraine claims she has become a target for the president and his allies she testifies at the trial in pietschmann inquiry. and u.k. or thora these are accused of failing to protect the vulnerable migrant children from abusive practices including witchcraft and sons of political correctness.

a very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international international with me to keep our top story this hour following months of protests for lot from the unrest in territory activists of a top to hong kong official who was visiting london. it was. very well the video that we just saw shows hong kong's justice secretary to resign chang who was actually at the time in the u.k. giving a speech about successful dispute resolution how she was targeted by dozens of protesters who pretty much mobbed her as she left the car now the activists were yelling murderer and they also chased her down the street to put it show of the incidents the one that we just saw shows a chain being swamped and screamed ad and at some point she was even pushed to the

ground and she injured her arm and she was taken to hospital by ambulance for treatment now an interesting detail is that hong kong's justice secretary kerry's the chain is actually quite a key figure in the drafting of the now withdrawn x. tradition bill that sparked all the protests and the 1st place now china has of course already commented on this incident with hong kong justice secretary the boy into moves perpetrators who organized one on one communication committed the fragrance assault on the senior official of the poem called special administrative region it has once again proved that their rule intention is to destabilize hong kong now they're taking such violence abroad and into the u.k. their action deserves to be condemned not always by the entire chinese people including the hong kong compatriots but also by the british public and the international community unanimously there was

a very formal response to this violent incidents from the u.k. police woman was taken to hospital by london ambulance service suffering an injury to her arm inquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances that has been orest at this stage one of the constant. i mean we've seen since the protests broke out in the hong kong the protesters themselves the clearing strenuously about their protests are peaceful but we've been seeing them. lots of blockades can we bring in the kind of difference what's happening there well they do not seem to be asked species will as they claim to be kong has been crippled by protests since march but practically all over the place the media continues to call them peaceful however they have been seen to be quite familiar with medieval style weaponry they are even building watchtowers and even using catapults to stand off police for instance the

daily mail put and it's had lined the story of how protesters are using swimming polls to tast patra bombs so it does seem that the mainstream media in general is not really criticizing the methods that they're using but more somehow sort of romantic their struggle while the protesters transform hong kong university is into a weapons factories and armed themselves with the patch will bombs the media is still impressed but what they call novel methods of taking on riot police so it does seem that the coverage is focusing so far very little on the danger posed to those caught in the crossfire. the. other night.

we heard from shanghai based professor benjamin chao who believes there is clear bias in the coverage of the protests. i'll try that hong kong i don't worry too much about long as creation. and the violence there matches the level violence of some from the protesters on the police just to come a question because the protesters. fireman's into this position of power the more i was such a point the hunger for this along is really hard to come think about it but i've no doubt the general public is hugely unsatisfied have to protest right now there is no effective way to unite polish to fight against the protesters yet you see what. some of this busta media covering the story i think it yes and the post and i don't

stumble as the media only china needs one called the whole world i think. because. the minds of hong kong may be one example of how high the civil rights and peace process. opened. with type forces. the former u.s. ambassador to ukraine has claimed she feels threatened by donald trump and his allies the allegations were made public during the 2nd tearing into the president's impeachment inquiry if i let you collusion with ukraine's leader the extent to move we have been accused of hampering a corruption investigation into a ukrainian energy company where democratic presidential hopeful joe biden's son how the top position. these have. been hearing the testimony of marie other now of it now is she is the former u.s. ambassador to ukraine she was dismissed from her post in may of 2019 now she did

come up in the conversation the phone call between donald trump and the linsky and the trump is certainly not thrilled about her testimony referring to her as the woman and furthermore saying that she is the bad news this is what donald trump tweeted out as the hearings continued. everywhere marie over no bitch when turned bad she started off in somalia how did that go then fast forward to ukraine with a new ukrainian president spoke on favorably about her in my 2nd phone call with him it is a u.s. president's absolute right to appoint ambassadors now from the former ambassadors testimony we heard her say that donald trump was intimidating or we also heard her alleged and maintain that she is not part of the joe biden family scandal involving hunter biden the son of the former vice president she also says that she was not part of any effort to leak data from ukraine in 2016 to use against donald trump during the elections she wasn't part of any ukrainian effort to meddle against u.s.

president donald trump now what's also important to note is she seems to be blaming everything on u.s. president donald trump but not just him how would this theory of ukraine interference in the 2016 election. lattimer putin's interest. well i mean president putin must have been aware that there were concerns in the u.s. about russian meddling in the 2016 elections and what the potential was for russian meddling in the future. you know classic for intelligence officers to try to throw off the scent and create an alternative narrative that maybe might get picked up and get some credence the name of russian president vladimir putin seems to come up quite a lot in these hearings despite the fact that there regarding u.s. president trump and his dealings with ukraine the name of the russian president seems to slip in it's also important to note that the u.s.

public is seeming to be a little bit less interested in these ongoing impeachment hearings the 1st round of hearings had 13000000 viewers roughly 5 percent of the u.s. population but if you look just a couple of years ago there were 19000000 people who watched fired f.b.i. director james komi give his testimony now there are 20000000 people who watched brett kavanaugh congressional testimony when he was being confirmed as a supreme court nominee and accused of an attempted sexual assault it would seem that the u.s. public is just becoming less and less interested in these ongoing anti trump congressional hearings and testimonies that however the impeachment hearings will continue to proceed on capitol hill with more witnesses being called against the current president. the number of children in the u.k. 9 to have suffered abuse linked to witchcraft is rising cording to local government figures as this is most of those who practice they come from abroad the british

government is being accused of turning a blind eye to phase it could face accusations of racism saudia takes up the story . hidden under the guise of religion faith and belief witchcraft is an ever increasing threat in child abuse cases in britain the number of such incidents has risen by more than a 3rd in just 2 years as local council say they are housing the equivalent of 38 cases every single week the shocking research released by the u.k.'s local government association also highlights f.p.m. or female genital mutilation it puts numbers at a record high with 1000 children having already been abused or at risk of it in the last year while it's more common incessant african communities the u.k. did have its 1st conviction for f.d.m. back in february.

despite that life threatening and dangerous practices like f.d.m. put as many as $60000.00 girls at risk every year there's a misconception though that the ancient custom of f.p.m. is a religious one even though it originated some 2500 years ago meaning it predates both islam and christianity and is not mentioned in any holy scriptures nor indorsed by religious leaders but the cultural often described as a barbaric tradition mainly occurring in africa isn't being fought as it perhaps should be as experts say there's a fear of being called racist i'm so angered by these figures for so long the political power that black people have has been dismissed people are scared to tackle s.g.m. and witchcraft is this scared of being accused of racism but it's racist to ignore it it's more races to look away it really hurts that we still have to tell people

the black kids need protecting following the 1st f g m conviction earlier this year more measures have been put in place to help put an end to the epidemic of abuse including extra guidance for prosecutors and police down to cultural practices it's down to only ologies and he's damned political correctness i want to know when a feminist song on this issue there is not you know me speak about this and it's because when women like me speak out we are told we are racist and he has to stop that's what you have the political correctness has got to go where we each is like a cancer and it stops people from breaking the silence we need more words we need strong words we need government and politicians and prime ministers to stand up and say this anyway. anybody who was involved in this practice if there was even a remote suspicion children need to be looked at medically but much doesn't happen

either for so long abuses like f.g. have been hidden doused and stick. but it seems like calling a tower for what is maybe the only way to protect vulnerable children. hundreds of people have turned out in guards there for the funeral of 8 people all from the same family who were killed in a in an israeli airstrike 5 children were among the victims the attack targeted an apartment building in the early hours of thursday burying residents under the rubble israeli military spokesman confirms the strike noting though that the head of the family was to see their islamic jihad commander reportedly a member of the so-called p i j or the palestinian islamic jihad group local media say 34 palestinians have been killed in israeli airstrikes over the past 2 days claiming half of been worse of billions here's how a local health official described the aftermath of the strike overnight. bodies

were dispy good as a result of heavy bombardment from israeli f. 16 aircraft. in the rubble of. deliberately targeted saloons and with this latest escalation flared up at the beginning of the week when an israeli strike is believed to have killed another high ranking terrorist islamic militants there responded with a wave of retaliatory rockets over the next 48 hours the hostilities were put on hold on thursday after a cease fire was agreed which the militants have broken and israel has responded to earlier we heard from human rights and political commentators based in the region. if israel responds to defending israeli citizens and anybody got hurt in gaza who is to be blamed the terrorists who attack israel not so when you hit the target with the terrorists who hide behind women and children who wish to be blame the terrorists are to be blamed who actually have their families then they they

have them as hostages they target our civilians and they know they of course must to be got must be neutralized god down here's the real needs to protect protect our peace for all and civil cities. settlements in the south we want to leave there if we had attacked by this logic jihad or by the hamas army duty is to protect a legitimate target does not give the israeli authorities did right to attack civilian probert these civilian houses they can distinguish and they are supposed to according to international law to discriminate between civilian and months a 1000000000 targets between combatants and noncombatants and in this case even

claiming that a targeted person if it proves to be a legitimate target cannot be an excuse to justify and on a number of presidents over places or areas where. civilians are there even according to the mission law in case of doubt their prayer at the and the opinion with the goal going forward a civilian rather than military so in all cases that it has been no excuse to a building. speaking from mexico bolivia's ousted president even morales says he wants to return to his homeland a soon. possible and pacify the nation while the country rails in political chaos with morales supporters protesting what they're calling a coup r.t. spanish correspondent francisco is covering events in the nation's capital. elizabeth on our sister houses of people are protesting against what they believe is a coup they gathered here in the center of the past but they came here from one of

the best chance of ever more alice brought histories do not recognize the self-proclaimed acting president and yes 2nd they want to restore constitutional order and finally they want to gain respect for indigenous symbols on tuesday the jeannine and yes announcer self interim president that on wednesday appointed her ministers and military commanders the interim government said that the country's problem was in the reading of election results on october 23rd and then ever resign thereby creating a very difficult situation which they took advantage of that even the rawest fled to mexico along with many of his party members he was forced to step down on monday off the weeks of violence triggered by claims that last month's election victory was rigged violence looting and vandalism followed some of his supporters now say they fear for their lives more or less themselves as bolivia needs help from abroad to restore peace. to all who will have plenty of confidence in the united nations we have had extensive talks with u.n.

secretary general antonio good turners and he has a lot of social conscience plenty of commitment to the poor he should be the mediator not just the facilitator in the institution perhaps accompanied by the catholic church and of pope francis is needed we should add him to. what will become law so for the bolivian assembly hasn't approved or rejected my resignation they haven't approved or rejected it i can say that i'm still the president the moment they approved my resignation then i am no longer president. because. we must recover democracy with a lot of patience and peaceful fights we must pacify i believe and then if i'm useful in anything but can bring peace to bolivia we will do it without bullets. meanwhile bolivia self-proclaimed interim president janine anas is being accused of racism over a tweet she wrote 6 years ago but later at

a later it i dream of a believer free of satanic indigency chills the city is not for the indians who should stay in the highlands or the chaco. we want the racist lady who is automatically proclaimed herself president to resign that is why we have said resign. that so-called president is usurping our country we want respect. we cannot bring in the brain old man editor of the latin american news website opera monday welcome to the program today not as i wrote that tweet back in 2013 do you think she still holds those views on indigenous people. i don't think she has. indeed of course she cannot keep the same racist before but lets you read the facts which are often more important than words there is no indigenous. in her cabinet i think this is

clothing this. is a lot about who is years and which values and interests shish poor. of course most bolivians are either indigenous or mixed race while we're now seeing a flare up in into ethnic tensions in the country. i mean i think that any of it i think that this does raise this school has a lot of races in his it is general that code i think that decides to take the power to the course of a tiff group which would be fitted by a home or out of this which has been there have been to fit in by everywhere alys since 2006 it needs to disconcerted food to boot of the indigenous people out of the game because this is the conservative this ruling elite

believe really races i read against indigenous people but dissipation in public teach or economy. this. conservative force in believe do not respect indigenous people right and it's one of the main reasons they compete they fight against it's a moralist and his party. is meant to be a socialist. of course right now and i'm as is only interim president president but do you think she intends to stay in power long term it's not clear yet and the self proclaimed role the which has been established through a. usually has the temptation to stand to his or her goal of them that's very often in political life but jenny and is this not have to just.

stability and poor for this thug it must protest on the straights and dip into and no contradictions among the conservative wings it's look sure sure we're being charged tomorrow. and that amazon sat there she's body the morale is from taking part in the upcoming election this even have the right to do that and when you make it impossible for him to regain his punch if you don't listen to this last question i was just asking i'm going to repeat the question. of course and has a set that she has bollards even the rawest fund participating in the upcoming election does she have the right to do that i don't think show i don't think so or talk because there is a decision from the supreme court lowing is what i used to take part in the lakshman and when. i tried to be the participation of the former president

of the resigning president of morality i think it's this he sat back to a dictatorship it's on the staff to retitle government is in the step too of electoral fraud i mean to avoid real truth dissipation of ever more alice and his party movement to socialism for an old man at a softer news website after monday thank you for your time. the protests in germany show no signs of relenting the latest event saying thousands descend on hamburg to vent that anger at the government's new agricultural policies traffic was brought to a halt as the city played host to a conference of the country's federal and regional and vironment means ministers who were discussing among other things imposing restrictions on the use of pesticides many farmers said the new stricter regulations would stifle the sector

among the measures that have provoked outcry are a ban on some pesticides and regulations to protect the groundwater from nitrates artie's evangelos sips us was with the farmers convoy as it sets out for how. it is early and the morning 'd that the should be working on their lands but instead of these german farmers have hopped on their tractors and will be rolling into amber to make a big point. as the country's regional and environmental ministers are meeting here in hamburg the farmers want to make it clear that the shifting balance between ecology and argue culture is putting them out of business as the ever tightening and national regulations on the use of chemicals from wheat killers and fertilizers to roots no

we've become from the german government is so hard for us that we cannot work on all of harms we cannot have good crops cannot have school followed or for that for the for the dairies at the root of the rigorous restrictions is the protection of wildlife and habitat the farmers agree the looking after nature is the core to the job but what infuriates them more is how they were shot out of the conversation of how. to go about implementing fundamental changes in their life would problem is today we are staying here and spend your shoulder. minister of environment here in germany and we invited here to come here but she is staying and she don't speak to us and we needs a communication that's good lemus the biggest problem is that the politicians don't talk to us and we want to have a dialogue with them and participate in the decision making process but that's what

we're here who would hurt. the government and says that germany's farmers are not a bad no i expect something from farmers yes i do and that is change but i don't do some of them supporting them financially or it is important is that we together with our european partners have directly meant as an instrument to support small and medium sized farms and this is a very important signal for many foreigners that they have certain insurance against fluctuations but the german government is under pressure itself by the european commission over its sluggish and environmental protection record there is even the prospect of huge fines and legal actions if they do not do more having tried time and again to quietly highlight blick protests while they might be outflanked by the increasingly influential green lobby and the e.u. pushing the government for more reforms they're determined not to lead generations

of farming families what in the process eventually success for archie. disney's brand new streaming service has had a rocky start to life since launching this week a technical glitch caused it to briefly crash meaning it was unavailable to some customers and i think it's also run into trouble from the us that's after pinned warnings to classic cartoons such as dumbo the jungle book and fantaisie it because they contain allegedly racially charged elements. role of. the what i want you to.

be a. little correctness is on top stupidity disney plusnet squinted ruining for cultural depictions and classic animated movies. how did we get by all these decades without warnings. disney is making disclaimers about all of the depictions in them but do people really get hurt that easy. why are we explaining jim crow laws to a child the child sees a car true it doesn't understand that but when you tell somebody you see what this is this is racism what racism this is racism why are they were racist because people hate people because of color why you actually can do more harm so is this

a good idea no it's the wrong message so what have you done have you made me smarter or have you shown me the diversity and the perhaps even the splendor of of racial symbolism sometimes we just explain too much sometimes it's best just to shut up play the movie and let kids watch it after all just a movie schist a cartoon that simple. well you can share your thoughts on all of our stories by following us on social media and leave your comments that we're back in 30 minutes with the latest to see about.
