6:07 pm
that region were being made not in geneva or new york but in sochi and aston are now he firmly blames the united states for this geopolitical switch and we must be critical of ourselves. europeans have long closed our eyes to uncomfortable realities what does it mean for the us to withdraw from the military commitments and international contracts we've closed our eyes even if we kept them open we couldn't have assumed how quickly the pendulum of american diplomacy and politics would swing the other way. well in fact the united states is pretty much taken on a role of disruptor in chief on the current world stage at the moment we saw them pull out of the i.n.f. treaty we of course saw them pull back unilaterally from the iran nuclear deal which is caused such tensions and problems in that region as well but moving away

6:09 pm
against the chinese company including racketeering and conspiracy to steal trade secrets the u.s. has been misusing its national power to oppress chinese companies with mo proof of any wrongdoing such practice is disgraceful and immoral and it is beneath the status of the u.s. as a major come true. well u.s. prosecutors allege that while way housing gauged in a systematic campaign to steal intellectual property from u.s. tech firms since as far back as 1999 stall false are said to have been encouraged to actively obtain sensitive information from competitors source code on wireless technology manuals are among the information reportedly obtained by the chinese company the fresh charges were made under a federal law historically used to prosecute members of the mafia now hallway has been under pressure from the trumpet ministration which accuses of spying on behalf of beijing and has repeatedly denied any links to the chinese government though the
6:10 pm
tech giant also says the latest charges are without merit suggesting the u.s. is simply trying to push out a competitor u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi doubling down on the american allegations. china is seeking to export its digital autocracy to its telecommunications telephones and giants while way threatening economic would tell the nation against those who deny a gun their technologies this is the most insidious form of a question to have is that line of communication 5 g. dominated by an autocratic government that has does not share our values it's very clear that trump administration the department of justice wants to implicate huawei broadly as a criminal organization and one has to ask what what are the what are the broader implications does that mean if it's part of the chinese government as the as the
6:11 pm
u.s. claims that the chinese government is a criminal organization or that if you do business with wall way that you are doing business with a criminal organization so clearly. clearly there's some pretty profound association at work what do you pick asians for these major global company. is that are doing business in china right in other words the united states consulate makes allegations that the chinese tradition area is highly politicized what happens if it becomes tit for tat it could have a very compelling. for both you know at the international level but at the at the economic level in terms of the specific industries. that's had to europe because one of the french president's closest political allies has withdrawn his candidacy for mayor of paris following the other compromising benjamin corvet those decision to drop out of the race represents a major blow to him on your macro his party is suffering
6:12 pm
a crisis of confidence going into next month's elections shouted to penske reports . well the dissemination of these incredibly videos and photos has resulted in that shock announcement by benjamin claiborne benjamin cleaver one of the closest allies and he hasn't authenticated those videos but it is being reported in the french media that he did recognize them as being authentic and that's why he was drew his candidature so quickly let's have a listen to what he said. when i announced my candidacy for mayor of paris i knew how harsh political life was for every year my family and i have been subjected to defamatory statements lies anonymous attacks the release of private conversations and death rows yesterday we reached a new level when an internet site relayed despicable attacks calling my private life into question well the reaction to those videos and photographs has been largely supportive towards benjamin cleaver and that comes from across the
6:13 pm
political spectrum there is even support coming from those who were opposing him in that race here in paris including one from former on the move m.p. set of a cfi yanni now said to be only what's quite interesting about him is he wanted to be the candidate for my quince party here in paris he lost out to benjamin clean as a result he decided that he was going to become an independent and by doing that cause massive friction in macaroons party and ended up being chucked out in the last few weeks this comes at a time when we've got those elections next month back want to party is not looking like it's going to do particularly too well many is seeing next month's elections as being a test for mack want a referendum on his policies particularly some of those that have been unpopular such as the pension reform which has caused huge protests here in paris over the last months now much kong was really eyeing the prize of winning that election here
6:14 pm
in paris and that's why he wanted one of his closest allies a spoon the spokes person to be the candidate. with a party to win the 2 of one here in paris would it be a very big coup this is going to be deeply embarrassing not just for the party but for mark on himself the party will of course choose another candidate or that election but in reality many will be questioning if the damage has already been done. the u.k.'s prime minister has reportedly prospered to trip to united states to meet with donald trump as tensions increase between london and washington it's now believed boris johnson won't meet the american president all june's g. 7 summit is to early has the story. much has been made for many decades about the special relationship between the u.k. and the u.s. however in recent months it has become increasingly strained on issues such as the involvement of the chinese tech firm why weigh in rolling out the u.k.'s 5 g.
6:15 pm
2 tensions in iran following the murder of general sell a money and now a wretch the scene of unity in the house of commons to the outgoing leader of the opposition jeremy corbyn from the prime minister boris johnson agreement that the extradition treaty between the u.k. and the u.s. are simply too one sided in america's favor while the u.s. continues to deny justice to harry done will the prime minister commit today to seek an equal and balanced extradition relationship with the united states prime minister mr speaker i to be frank i think the honorable gentleman has a point in his characterization of our intrusion arrangements with the united states and i do think that there is a there are elements of that relationship that are unbalanced why certain i certainly think that it is worth looking at now all of this comes in the background of the ongoing row over and secure last who is the wife of a u.s.
6:16 pm
intelligence agent who has been accused of killing a 19 year old man harry done in a hit and run driving accident she was said to be driving on the wrong side of the road when the incident took place a report since coming out that she herself is also the cia agent as well now she used diplomatic community especially that of a husband to flee the country and hasn't returned since and police have charged her with death by dangerous driving however as far as the u.s. state department concerned they have no intention of sending her back here to face those accusations it is the position of the united states governments that a request to extradite an individual under these circumstances would be an abuse the use of an extradition treaty to attempt to. turned the spouse of a former diplomats by force would establish an extraordinarily troubling precedent so with president trump seemingly angry at johnson to the point that he's slamming the phone down on the british prime minister who himself will be desperate to
6:17 pm
strike some kind of trade deal between the u.k. and the u.s. post brags that it would appear ever clearer that special relationship is just a one sided one we spoke to the don family lawyer that's rod seeker and keith basta former chief executive of the u.k.'s immigration advisory service on the nature of british u.s. relations. there has been a special relationship between the 2 countries for a long long time and we all enjoyed that relationship and are glad for it but there is really only one country that is behaving like an ally at the moment and that's the united kingdom because it complies with the extradition treaty. almost all the time at the moment the the way the treaty is written is that the united kingdom must extradite people to the united states when it's requested but the treaty reserves the americans right to have discretion so the americans may send somebody
6:18 pm
back to the united kingdom must i'm afraid the family feel that america is putting itself 1st and is trying to bully the united kingdom into ignoring this catastrophic collision which i didn't carry guns like we've moved into an era of hard pull rather than soft pull in dealing with the united states and that's partly the character of the present president of the united states and if he's prepared to slam the phone down on our prime minister clearly shows that he can let his own personal anger get in the way of good relations and that's not particularly helpful so i think we have to go into that continued relationship with the united states with very wide open and very great care for our own national interests. one of a story in the u.k.
6:19 pm
the british governments can sound that an appeals case could see a kenna on rape s. released on bail within days there among 25 violent criminals who avoided deportation from the u.k. this week after last minute legal challenge blocked their return to jamaica now one of those 25 was found guilty of stabbing a 50 year old man. to death fitzroy daley is currently serving a 10 year sentence while convicted rapist fabian henry is behind bars for raping 2 teenage girls now they'll stay in britain pending an appeal by the government which is consigned they might pose a threat to the public but for now they've been reprieved as the appeals judge ruled they hadn't been given access to legal advice or phone the u.k. government however says it regrets the court came to that decision on stressed it will act to remove serious offenders who are not british the offenses which these
6:20 pm
people responsible for include one month slaughter one firearms offense 7 violent offenses 2 which are in the category of rape or sexual offenses and 14 drugs offenses we may no apology whatsoever for seeking to remove syria's foreign national offenders well we've got reaction from human rights lawyer she'd call on political commentator on tree walker on whether the deported criminals should have been given sufficient access to legal support even if they pose a serious threat to society. this is not say regs they supposedly protection issue and it's also a rights issue people talk time and time again about your rights of family life your right to live in the united kingdom you don't have a right to live in the united kingdom or unless your sits in the united kingdom just like any other british national just as anyone else in the u.k. they committed a crime they said their punishment they were convicted sentence they served their time now after that they should be allowed to come home to their family they have
6:21 pm
british spouses british parents british children british families it is not my responsibility to pay for a foreign national to commit crime in my country many of these people they committed a single offense many years ago since then i mean obviously if we had the that just shows how little trust we have in our own criminal justice system they've been in prison they've been a probation since then why have we not been able to rehabilitate them why haven't we not been able to reduce the chances a real finding that is the responsibility of the government i don't have a duty to deal with the world's worst people i don't have a duty for my taxes to be paid on these sorts of people get a grip of yourself look if you wish to come to the united kingdom in order to do a job it also raise a family it ought to be a reasonable person i love you if you wish to come to this country it ought to sell drugs beat people up rape murder pillage abuse go how many of these people they were not given the right to make their legal claims there is no legal aid for such
6:22 pm
cases anymore and people who can't afford lawyers aren't able to claim their legal rights and that's why there was an additional thing the point here is not just why are we deporting black people the point is why every deporting criminals who have committed relative do my no fences and relatively short criminal sentences when they have children british families here and reception separating them from them permanently we do not have a duty to loaf and support and trust and respect people who came to this country to abuse a strawberry if that sounds brutal i don't care anyone. ever can be put in a situation where. the you know in this part of the moment they act in a certain way but out of that doesn't separate them and essentially destroyed their family lives forever and that's the point in the end he look at other and this is how the moment in the spare the moments you commits not to manslaughter killing somebody in the spur of the moment go back. and find for the south the university

of virginia when the u.s. has come in for shop criticism online after one of its students claimed too many white people were using a multicultural community center on campus video of the incident was posted to social media way it's gone it need 4000000 views probably there's just too many white people in here this is a space for people of color so let's be really harmless they are the space that you're taking because it does make some of us feel seen comfortable with easy to any way you want here imagine if a white person stood up and announced there were too many black people in the room and they make other white people uncomfortable how is this not considered traces. to many white people so this is why i say many of our ancestors fought and died for freedom and equality just so we can have a blacks only area really the whole point of multiculturalism is for diversity that includes all cultures but the university of virginia's new multicultural student
6:24 pm
center is apparently just for people of color that's not multiculturalism that's racism. well the center in question was opened in late 2016 with a view to supporting underrepresented and marginalized communities by providing a collaborative space but conservative students have said the video documents a kick case of racial intolerance forcing the university to clarify that everyone is welcome at the facility while we've got some reaction to this and we've been speaking to legal commentator horace cooper on political and social commentator. the video is crazy but what it is so is to me is that multicultural just means quote unquote people of color now why is it doesn't really mean cultures which is what i would think that he means it should be a space for everybody in college but it is not really seemed to be that way at least to some students that were right there in the center even if we were not
6:25 pm
a multicultural center and it were less a black area or an asian area or an expanding area you see a b. star and so exclude certain people everybody should be welcome in these particular spaces of cuckoos we say because if you're not welcomed them are going back to time in a pass of segregation and jim crow and separation and i don't think you want to go backwards in time you want to go forwards in time if you want to have a place where people learn to be more tolerant one of the key aims of such a place is supposed to be explaining everyone can come here and everyone is going to be tolerated it apparently is the case that not just this center but the university communicated that there are places that are preferred for some racial groups over other racial groups and that is in fact not a marketing problem not a language problem but
6:26 pm
a fundamental rejection of what our country stands for every american is local regardless of their racial group and as long as the uva is a taxpayer funded institution it not only must adhere to that it ought to be championing that. that's a wrap for now i'll be back at the top with the very latest to keep you busy until that solid document. lovely girl in mexico on the base of the palm tree slaying of the monkeys chattering special guest with us today alex petroff see i. bit fury there rocking it out in the mining space.
