bodies temple and then the shopping mall political commentator on the rival check says the shooting does come on the back of growing social unrest in the country. island has one of the all very high homo side grades it has higher homicide 3 per capita than the united states and lately there is a huge potential there is a social dimension in thailand the income disparity is tremendous price is sort of very high tide bad. realistically high as well which makes it very difficult for the 10s of millions of ties to actually sort of buy and so it is very common to see that. under the surface of the politeness and the smiles there is a lot of anger and frustration so anything can trigger the only thing going through your reaction from the from the people. who are talking about
3:04 pm
about the soldier or both. you know a person who has access to the guns this is. dangerous. cocktail if you wish. the final result from the botched eye where democratic primary still remains unclear despite all the results now being in a party state officials to spend the week trying to verify the think is following a technical glitch innovating app and many 900 question how the chaos could have could have been allowed to happen and all while donald trump has been reveling in the. democrats don't know what the hell they're doing. and they can't count simple votes but they want to fix your healthcare system. if you can. when questions are raised to have any election results in the us they are
3:05 pm
seen followed by pledges that will be sorted quickly but it's kind of not explained when it happens in other countries washington to seem to be quick to start shouting fraud often the way we interpret events can be very subjective if something happens to someone else we see it one way but it happens to us we see it very differently let's compare the electoral confusion in bolivia last october to the electoral confusion in the us state of iowa last week and both situations and election took place and the results were delayed and then authorities said that some irregularities have happened throughout the collection of records over results the i would democratic party identified in consistencies in the data and used the redundant paper records to probably correct those errors there was intentional manipulation and serious irregularities that make it impossible to validate the results originally issued by the bolivian electoral dorsey's in both instances the
3:06 pm
public spoke up and cried foul folks i don't know what is going on with the iowa democratic party and the slow trickle of results how many of the counties are having their results falsely reported by the i.d.p. every county needs to release the results now the iowa caucus was rigged by near cheap eat pasta don't. and in both instances the authorities agreed and said that the concerns had to be addressed what happened in iowa was unacceptable and the party chair as acknowledged that he's apologized for that and we have work to. gather over the last few days to fix the challenges to see the i have decided 1st to replace every member of the supremum like total tribunal and 2nd the whole national elections to allow the bolivian people to democratically elect a new government with new political activists except the similarities stop here in iowa a recount is being conducted to make sure the ultimate results are correct and in
3:07 pm
bolivia the military toppled the government and a woman who wasn't even a candidate in the election has declared herself to be the new leader. i see in the presidency with the middle of the fact in line with the constitution and pres to take all measures necessary to bring peace to the country. while many have declared what happened in bolivia to be a military coup the us secretary of state branded it as a transition to democracy we recognize the importance of believe us political transition to democracy in our hemisphere and we had mire the believe in people for standing up for their constitution their democracy and for free fair and transparent elections after morale is flat things have been pretty messy and bolivia and that's why my resigning so that my opponents do not continue to persecute more socialist brothers.
3:08 pm
i'm wondering if you were going to say she american states as they were said in an election i want you to figure out what's what's going on where you know it's clear that in the case of bolivia. the cleaning of the let's talk discrepancies fuel to justify any campaign to demonize this and then ultimately to overthrow him the news or why did he go against. you because he pursued policies that will object you ask on the nation of the region so the difference is that. in the case of in the case of iwo the presumption is it's just a technical problem or we know there's nothing sinister going on whereas in the case of the government gets offside with washington our side with all the war it's a different standard so if a us state has them
3:09 pm
a lighter all confusion we'll look into the matter and get it straightened out however if a socialist government that is friendly to russia and china has a mix up at the polls it's time to reduce the country to chaos kaleb happen r.t. new york. president of the philippine drove ricotta to say it's planning to rip up a longstanding minute free pacts with the united states that after washington cancelled a tourist visa issued to one of his close political allies who's been in charge of the country's tough crackdown on illegal drugs trade washington said the visa has been revoked because the crackdown had strengthened and human rights were being violated but due to he was quick to make his feelings clear. souped up all. but go on the show are merely and watering your this is the 1st i. mean you're not. you know.
3:10 pm
why are you a better man may be a brief. visit being agreement. up or shame boil down to the so called visiting forces agreement there has been in place since 1909 it provides a framework for u.s. troops coming to the philippines for joint training exercises if it is canceled it will affect more than $300.00 military personnel we spoke to the political scientists and foreign affairs analyst richard hey daddy n. about the impact it could. 3 out here is the president that very day is really angry at the united states not only because of the travel ban or visa restrictions imposed on. he our lights but there are concerns that the united states might actually move forward with us and other kinds of sanctions against the president himself down the road especially when he's out there already going to step down so i think there was some complacency on the part of united states. is indeed are
3:11 pm
taken out that means the end of significant amount of american military aid to the philippines which amount to $1800000000.00 over the past 2 decades and it's going to make it very difficult for them arrogance or gratian allies because they'll be a base the software that allows for the operationalization of the hardware of the bilateral lines like. britain is at the center of another extradition scandal the u.k. high court is the night the indian government's request to extradite a couple accused of a range in the murder of their adopted son the decision based on concern over a possible violation of the human rights in india has seen the couple walk free for now they deny the allegations shoddy it was stashed in a small one story. the old saying goes that no one is above the law but it seems that some people aren't subject to either a british couple adopted an 11 year old often boy in india and promised him a better life but now they're charged with the ranging his matter all for
3:12 pm
a lump sum of life insurance payout. ending place of him battling for over to get their hands on a couple but to no avail and now british high court judges have ruled they can't be extradited but not because the evidence against them isn't strong enough. i find very circumstantial prime a phrase she case that ms dear mr a jogger acting together and with others committed the offense to set out above despite all this the u.k. won't send the back why well because of one crucial piece of indian legislation that means the package faces sentence of life without parole if convicted of double murder in the country which the united kingdom says would breach the human rights. i find that there are substantial grounds for believing that they would face
3:13 pm
a real risk of been subjected to treatment like a review of a life sentence which would be inhuman and degrading this would be a breach of article 3 the court's decision falls within the european convention on human rights but the ruling is raising concerns here in britain do we really want suspected child killers roaming the streets of london this is an absolutely crime and i think many people would agree there needs to be the harshest of sentences if they are found guilty it is up to the indian legal system to decide on the appropriate penalty and we should not be standing in the way of justice being served for the victims but the decision to keep criminals here in the u.k. raises alarm bells as the concept of human rights even for those abusing them seems to provide a quick get out of jail free card the fact is here justice has been denied to the indian people the process of a trial has been prevented because of the european human rights legislation when we're saying that they can't even stand trial because the possibility that they will receive what is called an irreducible life sentence in india means that the
3:14 pm
possible sentence violates their human rights what the british government is saying is that there is no assurance in place that these 2 people will not be treated in the same way as they would have been had they been arrested in india what we are saying to the indian government and to be proved right to authorities is that your criminal justice system simply isn't good enough to try our citizens who was an incredibly serious offense indian people cannot hold people to account under the terms of the justice system without the european and british courts saying you're justice isn't isn't good enough i think these cases show is that actually what it does is it creates a difference in treatment between european citizens and the rest of the world. trade latest have taken a $25000000.00 euro bite out of apple they find it after users revealed some of its software updates were actually slowing down older versions of its i phone or the country's competition and fraud watchdog says that i. i phone owners weren't told
3:15 pm
installing updates were likely to lead to a slower device and it also ruled too that apple was guilty of misleading commercial practice by capping the performance of older models aging batteries couldn't handle surges in energy use well apple has admitted to failing to inform customers that they could simply replace their battery instead of buying a new device and also didn't inform them that the updates could actually be reversed although apple has agreed to pay the fine it claims that it wasn't trying to make people upgrade to new folks. well we now know in black and white apple business model i got halfway through the story and my phone died i'd love to see that fine passed on to consumers i refurbished my battery rast year which means 0 difference to performance outrageous technology expert then you believe that the real damage won't be to apple's pocket but to its reputation. i
3:16 pm
think the main damage to apple in this particular instance was the damage to its reputation when this story 1st came out back in 2017 and that was a couple that will flow more than to find that is equivalent to only about 55 minutes of revenue for the for the spines i don't actually get to make a great deal of difference what we need to do is to ensure that their own laws put in place such as the right sort of laws and the coming through good help people who actually have to upgrade have to replace components and i don't really that'll mean at the end of the day we're all getting back to value i would like to see the battery prices coming down i'd like to see the price of the judge was going but this is a complex of markets and it is that price when people are willing to buy then that's the state of the market. a c.e.o. with approval of the way it's being nursed back to health it was found abandoned in st petersburg with all the details on this just off the ground.
