a political refugee he behaves like the 1st thing to do would be to put him on a plane streets and russia and he will see with mr putin if you can do this kind of crap this. comes off the latest scandal involving pawlenty this follows the dissemination of lewd videos and photos on the internet last week of been sharing a key ally of president matt go on his former spokesperson now linsky and his partner were taken in by the police and they were questioned in regards to those videos question didn't to invasion of privacy and broadcasting videos of a sexual nature without the permission of the person who is in those videos the interior minister here in france has said he should face the full weight of the law if he did you feel casting a certain videos without the consent of the author is subject to criminal sanctions in our country resulting in a substantial fine and 2 years imprisonment and these offenses must obviously be

prosecuted it is a matter of respect for democratic rule and this is not the 1st time that pawlenty ski has been the headline news here in france he was recently accused of brandishing a weapon a knife or to new year's eve party and of injuring 2 of the party goers at that event further back he was also found guilty of 2nd like to the doors of the bank of france in the basti area in fact he's currently serving a suspended sentence for that criminal act in france and that comes after a series of stunts that he pulled in russia of a similar criminal nature. russia

it's sometimes difficult to be an artist yes especially for one makes a political declaration out of his art that's the case of for that probably in fact we already know and he's just been arrested for setting the door of the former k.g.b. building on fire. so it's not clear whether have linsky will be sent back to russia chucked out of france or whether he will face the music here and those possible criminal charges what we do know is that his political asylum here has become an embarrassment to the french authorities. the u.s. is creating conditions to deploy short medium range missiles in europe and asia

that's according to russia's foreign minister said in his news briefing at the munich security conference out of washington is not even hiding its preparations after abandoning a key arms control treaty with moscow auntie's peter oliver has details. circular for of was wrapping up events at this weekend's munich security conference and he took aim at the united states and made claims that washington had deliberately collapse the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty i.n.f. treaty for their own means their own games that they wanted and as far as russia saw the intention was for the united states to try and set up missiles in places around the world when it came to russia looking for partners in the west particularly on this issue moscow seems to be looking towards paris that's after water money with my column the french president had to say here in munich on saturday but what shocked you most as the us was destroyed the treaty and now is actively working on the conditions to deploy these missiles burned some time ago in

europe and asia they are not even hiding or denying this mr michael suggested a dialogue between nato and russia france is looking to the future thinking progress and is open for dialogue with everything michael said regarding his attitude towards sanctions and russia and the thing time he called to freeze up 2 realities russia exists and russia influences procedures in the world of the e.u. high representative for foreign affairs here said sensually the e.u. foreign minister used his speech at the munich security conference to say that the time is now for europe to start acting more independently you don't have to develop the willingness to pay really not to be doing commons and saying every day that we had really very much concern the extremely concerned we should be able to pick the real takeaway from this year's security conference here in munich was the very

clear split between the united states and europe particularly france and germany when it came to the role that western nations should be playing on the world stage . let's go. on the line good afternoon to nicolette west listeners that was. one of the themes of the munich security conference do you think the west is really experiencing a crisis of identity well definitely i think there are starting to see cracks in this comment i would say what our house and definitely we've been hearing voices recently about people saying that they maybe don't want to depend so much on the u.s. i'm not saying that in the west people i commend or macro or reserve a role are really saying that they want the total independence but we are hearing people like marco saying that well maybe the european countries can discuss between themselves what their future is to be and who they would like to discuss concerning at least in continent doesn't grow so that he wanted powers to put your opinion in the european union to be speaking about power and the will for power and definitely

they were targeting the u.s. and they are very dependent on the u.s. we know how strong the u.s. is to take concerning foreign affairs of european culture countries you know how strong the u.s. wasn't buildings the european union but now it's very interesting to see that that has a spade in the head of the foreign policy of other european union is voicing his wish that you can only be more independent for the u.s. so that your can your opinion instead you can discuss themselves what their interest is and what foreign affairs they are unable to cite without washington having to take a look or take decisions in their in their at their place do you think need foreign policy chief as you mentioned that you're thinking he was right when he said that you know europe has to stop just talking expressing concern it has to be willing to act very difficult today so when you've got lots of member states with different opinions on how to do things it isn't it's just recently took about operation social media which is concerning an arms embargo to libya we saw that austria vetoed the project so the whole project collapsed because oscar was saying that it

would be thousands of immigrants entering europe and the european union brussels plutus and what he was going to be stopping arms entering the media so it's very complicated to date but it's very interesting that head that somebody like burrell mentions this because this obviously is fundamental for the euro. union how credible can the european union is and how if you're seeking those decisions from washington we've seen 2 wars many wars in the ex you saw a war going on in the ukraine that means underpin soil and we saw you see in most situations that washington was pulling the strings and i think at that time european politicians didn't dare to washington that they were not to intervene in european style so well and it's extremely interesting today to you know european politicians prominent european politicians who are not categorized as actually american politicians are saying that well maybe it's time europe the european union take its own future is future in its own hands and be able to discuss independently so i think it's going to be complicated but it's

a really interesting that they're speaking about this today and it's positive the european union will collapse if it doesn't have a strong policy which is independent for the from the u.s. and broach said we're not looking for tolling that convinced he said it himself today the european union is dependent on washington but definitely the fact that the european union may have some margin of maneuver to discuss independently at least was going on in europe in so is extremely positive. for they if no one else very hard to understand the european relationship with with the russia the sanctions on russia in the past yet seems very happy to work with them when it comes to getting natural gas you've also got them on your micro normals breaking off now saying that we need to be talking strategically with russia is that going to be possible for micron's akin to drag the rest of the e.u. leaders with him and work more with russia. well he's going to try again he's got a lot of enemies and within the european union people who still think i'm

especially in washington who think that the cold war is still not over it's complicated but again if we would look a couple years back nobody would say this i think it's extremely important we see how complicated this is the european union is definitely a contrivance its own identity it's different looking for new ways of expressing itself and it cannot it has to cut the umbilical cord with washington if there was to be free and to date washington purity is not during that perspective i think it's interesting but it's we also see as i just mentioned before how complicated is going to be because they don't have the means to do this today so we will be depending on if you really want a truly independent europe of 3 nations able to discuss and defend their own interests rather than washington's interests well then we need more politicians to come up and say listen let's take care of our future ourselves so what matt was doing on the specific subject is interesting we hope that other statesmen from the european union will be courageous enough on this specific matter to be able to say yeah we don't need washington anymore to discuss about the future of europe and our

own interest is going to your long road that's for sure but it's interesting that at this time and date that we're having such a discussion i think it's in the interest the highest interest of europe because europeans have to decide their future and themselves the americans are too far away from our our primary interest and concerns of them and i guess our political analysts think lead that puts many thanks nicholas but here. the u.k. prime minister is facing an open rebellion with a number 10 over the whoring of a controversial a truce previously expressed extreme views on eugenics women and rice it's been reported downing street staff of boycotted meetings are refusing to work with the new recruit. artie's new to today now joins me on the line from london good afternoon dear the new recruit and it seems not proving to popular early on now it certainly isn't u.k. prime minister bias johnson has not been short of controversy and another has just

read it head now labor is demanding that tory advisor andrew who is by the way oxbridge educated is immediately sacked over his controversial remarks on a number of issues including his views on how to tackle unplanned pregnancies in the u.k. to combat a permanent underclass as he puts it claims that black americans are more likely to have an intellectual disability and a lower i.q. than their white counterparts on the list goes on has more details of what he said and a warning to viewers now as some of his comments are shocking. one way to get around the problem of unplanned pregnancies creating a permanent on the clause would be to legally and force universal uptake of long term contraception of puberty eugenics are about selecting for good things if the mean black american i.q. is around $85.00 as compared to a mean once american i.q. of $100.00 we're close to the typical boundary for mental retardation. just

27 years old sibierski was appointed by chief aide dominic cummings after he put out a job description requesting misfits and weirdos apply which was circulated by his blog though he's not a permanent member of staff it doesn't work on a special projects and his comments have deeply upset lots of communities as you can imagine and caused outrage of a number of politicians. so when dominic cummings put out an advert for we rose to work in number 10 it turns out he meant supporters of eugenics deeply sinister and use a biscuit should be nowhere near the government the liberal party called for number 10 downing street researcher andrew sibby skied to be sacked from his job we have no words to describe his comments really backers in our call to get this person removed from the center of government. so basically describes himself as

a political forecaster but following his very public statements and his actions on social media one of which involved deleting tweets where he called a number of female labor m.p.'s dem many are criticizing his appointment and wondering how on earth he managed to get through and apparently strict government vetting process well whether any of this backlash will be enough for boris johnson to overturn his employment is yet to be seen you know we're not going to hear the end of this one many thanks with the update that it is today in london thank you. to her fears of being raised over what's become one of the west's main dumping grounds for electronic waste the african country of garner everything from old mobile phones to computers are being burned releasing highly toxic chemicals known to cause cancer and other deadly diseases.

bringing that story up to the press. because there's a survival guide book stay single malt to start simply. lisa's. going to get a. good repatriations look at the rest of 7 years. of a separate report. welcome

back to a groundbreaking ruling in australia google has been ordered to unmask the identity of an online user who posted a damning review of a dentist the anonymous reviewer one day teeth whitening service was extremely uncomfortable the dentist says his business was affected as a result the google initially refused to take down the comments the dentists lawyer says that reputation should not be unfairly damaged i believe it's extremely unfair

that people are allowed to anonymously attack honest hardworking small businesses we think google has a duty of care to australian small businesses and business is globally for allowing these reviews to go on this ruling is groundbreaking google has historically argued it's not responsible for user generated content and is only taken down negative posts when ordered to do so by the courts under australian law businesses with fewer than 10 employees can sue over statements that could damage a company's reputation and paves the way for possible defamation cases against tech giants artie's reached out to google to comment on this case we will bring you any response google has already faced the number of similar cases in australia just this month for example a barrister was awarded half a $1000000.00 to her online comments claiming that he gave false and misleading advice then back in july last year the tech giant was faced with a contempt of court charge that was for failing to remove reviews about

a high profile sydney businessman this is an issue that we put up for debate. this guy had one negative review and this is how he wants to get the courts involved you want to put this in google you want to sue the guy i mean just take care of your own business right it's sort of ridiculous and this is also a massive slippery slope how long if we keep up this culture until you're no longer allowed to criticize google itself or if you do you're some other massive corporation i'm also all for free speech by you know it's given people a mask to hide behind and they're not taking responsibility for what's being posted and they are hurting innocent people and this is becoming way too widespread dentist to be comes up is foolish if not a bit on hinge if he thinks to a good idea to be going after a troll on the internet now when someone's looking for a dentist their neighborhood they might google this guy and think do i want to go to the guy who's bringing the courts down on the troll on the internet or maybe

i'll go to the dentist on the street instead now i don't agree i think that you know we are in an environment right now that so divisive and there's these people out there that just love to hate and they're just looking for something and i would be the 1st person to walk in and get teeth whitening from this dentist based on this because i feel very bad for what happened to him and i think we're just in an environment where we have to find a way to make people own the things that they're going to post that this is a prob that sort of the free market and just basic social etiquette is solve itself because when you have someone anonymous on the internet they automatically are not taken as seriously as someone who's putting themselves out there i actually have faith in my fellow man that man and woman that they're smart enough and discerning enough to know when something seems a bit off and to know it seems anonymous that maybe you don't take that person as seriously i would love to have faith in people and say you know that we're going to police ourselves and that it's going to stop this problem one of the problems that we have is we have this whole mentality of fake news and this cancel culture where you can completely ruin someone over

a personal agenda the longer that we allow people to hide behind their screens and be keyboard warriors the my. or this is spinning out of control but we have to find a way to control this the only way to do it is have validated profiles where people have to actually post who they are and there has to be some way to validate it there is a huge problem with defamation with people being had their lives destroyed on the internet but if you start trying to regulate all of this regulation and all of this forcing only goes in one direction but the one power these companies anymore they have so much power why don't we just all decide maybe we don't need to read these reviews on google maybe ask your your friends or family members say i need a dentist you've got someone you could recommend maybe that's the way forward 'd because the more we started with these vast complicated companies and the more regulation and speech it's it's it's a spiral and they already have too much power to influence our lives anyway don't they. in the u.k.

and i have to this is mean not to back by her majesty the queen after asking for help in the case of julian assange he wrote to the head of state pleading with us to free the wiki leaks founder joe i must tell you however that as a constitutional sovereign her majesty acts on the advice of her ministers and remain strictly nonpolitical at all times this is therefore not a matter in which the queen would intervene i was thinking well the queen has the prerogative of mercy. i wrote requesting her mercy in this case for him to be released and there are a lot of things happening which tell us that. the judiciary who are involved in his case are biased simply relying upon the judiciary in the u.k. to come down with the right decision to release today in the sunshine for b.

because he's a publisher and not send him to america that was going to be very very unlikely. it is being held in belmarsh prison for breaching bail conditions like in 2012 he faces extradition to the u.s. on computer hacking and espionage charges the u.s. has indicted him over the release of thousands of classified military documents if extradited he faces up to 175 years in prison. that to see right to the queen believe the silence is legal thing could still use the reply from the palace to their advantage with the queen basically saying that her prerogative of mercy he is not relevant in this case because it's a political case. this very squarely state julian assange is being told that actually persecuted now my view would be the queen's letter stating that she doesn't get involved in political things is something that could be used by the

defense team in court. and she's directly challenge the judge in this case saying look the queen has behaved sickly stated that this is political in the u.k. law does not allow people to be extradited for for a little offenses this is about freedom of speech freedom of the press and. trans national exercise of power by the u.s. saying if we don't like what you're writing we're going to lock you up no matter who you are where you're from what country you're in i think this thing without international about with more in just over half an hour. in munich the world leaders discussed west listeners instead we should be contemplating the end of me liberalism also stone cold justice is there

a dual justice system. i'm not sure it has here we're going on the ground ahead of tomorrow's yemen talks at the u.n. security council as boris johnson continues to maintain saudi weaponry and along with u.s. president donald trump threatens to tom and ate all aid to tens of millions facing famine in the world's worst humanitarian crisis coming up in the show has how he had his day yemen's former human rights minister we have assured him whether there is another way out of a conflict with britain reputedly times more in weapon sales than gives in a hand with palestine said to be absent from issues at tonight's televised u.k. labor leadership debate we ask award winning jazz saxophonist and labor activist so

we took kinship with the fight go on for international justice jeremy called and all this of all coming up in today's going underground but 1st to one of britain's biggest foreign weapons sales and as yemen site of the world's worst humanitarian crisis joining me via skype from shows recalls that in germany is yemen's woman human rights minister oriya my sure thanks so much area for coming on britain has been found here to have been acting unlawfully selling weapons for use in yemen what is the scale of the world's worst humanitarian crisis do you think. saratov thank you it was for. this program thank you for your heart of the us this is not those are surprises this is how we have got the software where it is that being can all the new man. step 5 here are of course lee and one on him and i think you're probably one of these cats that all fades calling. when people don't

have. access to basic needs for day or down day get. let me this in and of course this is up there. and because of the 'd war it is going to last for quite so often if we aren't going to all be is maybe we can see the world isn't that big a deal as to the thought it was in unfortunately that is. mostly ready. afflicted from this water ship there and although. most of the evening and. there are a. lot. of. the music at the end is not the air maybe their front line is or are there and i think

many people many people will agree tried tens of millions are facing disaster but it was president how do you who are appointed you you mention 5 years how the fled the country to other countries saudi arabia which is bombing with with british weapons yemen isn't how the the problem here but ringback we can not say that in fact from 200-2000 their event will start and therefore at the end and we were in national enquirer for every good always there. and there in this mission of. course there's. the outcomes of the mission of this it is consensus and or thaws where in their nationality or about of buffalo's have signed on the outcomes of of this that org and they have to be committed to that and they have to ask.
