we like magine that these massive google organizations the un the un meth u.p.c. w these juggernauts a good but knives that at the end of the day what they do is good for mankind but as with many things in life you take a closer look and you're left the supported one whistleblower saying the u.p.c. w. was biased corrupt well he could be wrong just an opinion to whistleblowers saying the same thing exists think could they be right u.p.c. w. says no ignore them space is a and b. not whistle blowers they were individuals who could not accept that their views were not backed by evidence as could be expected their conclusions are uninformed and brohm sure one whistleblower could be wrong too well could be wrong but when

7:05 pm
annual are to stations and just in case anyone anyone gets any smart ideas in. the future the bosses over the u.p.c. w. could always show them this letter and tell them this is what happens to you when you do speak out against the u p c w or don't want to expose myself or my family to their violence on revenge or don't want to live in fear of crossing the street as mentioned a p c w went public in doubting the credibility of the 1st 2 whistleblowers now we've asked the international chemical weapons watchdog to comment on all the allegations and of course we'll update you with any response. and other news hundreds of officials from around the world are converging in munich this friday for the city's annual security conference among the topics in focus today on the conflict tearing libya apart on the course the refugee flows across the mediterranean ahead of
7:06 pm
a panel discussion german foreign minister heiko moss spoke of a new stage in the world's political order. on the. american global police and it is over think of syria africa afghanistan not because of the lack of military or economic power but because the commitment of those responsible in the white house has changed when it comes to the world older. must there speaking at this year's munich security conference which has as its overarching theme a word restlessness might be a word many people haven't heard before what it means to the said surely an existential crisis among western nations about what their role is on the world stage today was talking about this in relation to the middle east on friday saying that nations like russia turkey and iran were now the ones who are really driving the agenda in the middle east at the moment and their decisions on the future of
7:07 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 seen 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 has caused such tensions and problems in that region as well but moving away
7:08 pm

7:09 pm
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 no proof of any wrongdoing such practice is disgraceful and immoral and it is beneath the status of the u.s. as a major country. well u.s. prosecutors allege that huawei has engaged in a systematic campaign to steal intellectual property from u.s. tax since as far back as 1999 stoffel also said to have been encouraged to actively obtain sensitive information from competitors source code on technology wireless technology manuals are among the information reportedly obtained by the chinese company the fresh charges were actually made a federal historically used to prosecute members of the mafia the hallway has been under pressure of course from the trumpet ministration which accuses a of spying on behalf of beijing has repeatedly denied any links to the chinese
7:10 pm
government the 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 doubled down on the american allegations. china is seeking to export its digital autocracy to its telecommunications tell if we are giants while a threatening economic would tell the nation against those who do not got their technologies this is the most insidious form of 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
7:11 pm
implications does that mean if it's part of the chinese government as the as the u.s. claims that the chinese government is a criminal organization or that if you do business with walk away 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 companies that are doing business in china right in other words the united states costly makes allegations that the chinese tradition here 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. one of the french president's closest political allies has withdrawn his candidacy for mayor of paris following the leak of a compromising. decision to drop out of the race represents a major blow to a minute his party is already suffering
7:12 pm
a crisis of confidence going into next month's elections shot it to pennsic experience. well the dissemination of these incredibly videos and photos has resulted in that shock announcement by bin genially benjamin cleaver one of lachlan's closest allies and he hasn't authenticated those videos but it is being reported in the french media 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 had 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 with a reaction to those videos and photographs has been largely supportive towards
7:13 pm
benjamin cleaver and that comes from across the political spectrum it's 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 yani 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 my quince 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 mark on 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 mark kong was really eyeing the prize of winning that election here
7:14 pm
in paris and that's why he wanted one of his closest allies a spoon the spokes person to be the candidate. the party to win that one here in paris would 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 selection but in reality many will be questioning if the damage has already been done. woman's complaints about too many white. multicultural santa has gone far wrong on twitter garnering nearly full 1000000 views we'll talk more about it in just 90 seconds.
7:15 pm
max kaiser with more of my guide to financial survival this is. a device used by professional scallywags to earn money. that's right these homes for those are simply not accountable and we're just getting more and more to the. totally destabilize the global economy you need to protect yourself and get informed as we . join me every 1st week on the alex i'm i'm sure and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business i'm sure business i'll see you. and welcome back to the u.k. as prime minister has reportedly postponed a trip to the united states to meet with donald trump tensions increase between london and washington it's now believed. the american president until june g.
7:16 pm
7 summit is to any house 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. 2 tensions in iran following the murder of general sunday morning and now a rash to see that the unity in the house of commons as did the outgoing it was the opposition generally corby and the prime minister boris johnson agree that the extradition treaty between the u.k. and the u.s. are simply too one sided in america's favor while the us continues to deny justice to harry done will the prime minister commit today to seek an equal and balance 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 extrusion arrangements with the united
7:17 pm
states and i do think that there is a there are elements of that relationship that are unbalanced i search in balance i certainly think that it is worth looking at now all of this comes in the background of the ongoing rao over and secure last who is the wife of a u.s. 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 and reports 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 are concerned they have no intention of sending her back here to face those accusations it is the position of the united states government that a request to extradite an individual under these circumstances would be an abuse
7:18 pm
the use of an extradition treaty to attempt to. turned the spouse of a former diplomat 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 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 rod seek and keith bass he's a former chief executive of the u.k.'s immigration advisory service and we talked on really about 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 enjoy 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
7:19 pm
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 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 soon 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
7:20 pm
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 the. fun of a story coming from the u.k. the british government's concern that an appeals case could see both a killer and a rapists released on bail within days there among $25.00 violent criminals who afford to do potations from the u.k. this week after nost minute legal challenge blocked the return to jamaica one of those 25 was found guilty of stopping a 15. old man it to death fits where daley is now carney solving a 10 year sentence while convicted rapist fabian henry is behind bars for raping 2 teenage girls they'll stay in britain pending an appeal by the government which is concerned of course that they might pose
7:21 pm
a threat to the public but for now they have been reprieved does the appeals judge ruled that they hadn't been given access to legal advice to phone the u.k. government however says it regrets the court came to that decision and stressed it will act to remove serious offenders who are not british the offenses which these people who respond to for include woman slaughter one firearms offense 7 violent offenses to which are in the category of rape or sexual offenses and 14 drugs offenses we make no apology whatsoever for seeking to remove serious foreign national offenders. we've got reaction from human rights huish khan and political commentator on john walker on one of the deported criminals should have been given sufficient access to mikal support even if they pose a serious threat to society. this is not a regs issue they supposedly protection issue and it's also a rights issue people talk time and time again about your rights
7:22 pm
a family life your right to live in the united kingdom you don't have a right to live in the united kingdom or less 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 serve their time now after that they should be allowed to come home to their family they have 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 would have permission to then why have we not been able to be have billeted then why haven't we not been able to reduce the chances a real failing 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
7:23 pm
a job it all to raise a family it all 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 and 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 cases anymore 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 relatively minor offenses and relatively short criminal sentences when they have children british families here and reception are separating them from them permanently we do not have a duty to law and support and trust and respect people who came to this country to abuse extraordinary if that sounds brutal i don't care any. one ever can be put in a situation where. the you know in this part of the moment they act in
7:24 pm
a certain way but also 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. let's wrap up this hour's bonus and with the story the university of virginia in the us has come in for shop criticism online after one of its students claimed to many white people while using a multicultural community center on campus now video of the incident was posted to social media where has since gone it many for 1000000 views privately 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 when we see too many waited one here imagine if a white person stood up and announced there were too many black people in the room
7:25 pm
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 center is apparently just for people of color that's not multiculturalism that's racism. now the center which is sparked this controversy was opened in late 2016 with a view to supporting underrepresented and marginalized communities really by providing a collaborative space bops conservative students have said the video documents a clear case of racial intolerance forcing the university to clarify that everyone is welcome out the facility has some reaction we've been getting to this from a legal commentator horace cooper and political and social commentator brian logan . the video was crazy but what is so is to me is that multicultural just means
7:26 pm
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 seem to be that way at least to some students that were right there in the center even if we were not a multicultural center and it were let's say 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 and 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 chains 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
7:27 pm
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 a fundamental rejection of what our country stands for every american is local regardless of their racial group and as long as the u.p.a. is a taxpayer funded institution it not only must adhere to that it ought to be championing that. that's how things are shaping up for now i'll be in fact minutes to titrate from told that it's possible. for us to state television propaganda machine. propaganda outlet propaganda tools
7:28 pm
we are in an information war. you can change the world tomorrow. you tube videos the 1st sleepless nights should a missile launches network. live pressure brushes russia russia russia today's. reality t.v. they will choose russia to live and i really have to join to see you then on r t. 4 are so proud and still. are just getting the number. why have you not shut down our t.v. on you tube it's
7:29 pm
a propaganda machine mr walker. we know in psychology that the more people are told that they can't or shouldn't do something whether it's sexual or otherwise the more it makes them want to do it so trying new things violating taboos are some of the most common and pervasive elements in our sexual fantasies. there's nobody you would know the moon but in your circles modesty. and you know. that when you much for the call it was a little trick and they're going to do it when you. look. at. the white and good sort of when you're already in the sims but you know but you know my esteem situation. to be. that.
7:30 pm
low in welcome to cross top where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle so liberal corporate media are fickle they fall in and out of love quickly and often not long ago they were infatuated with bedroll roark now they were smitten by mayor pete the media love to drone on about their preferences in the meantime.
