4:05 am
a positive development not for us of many observers are wondering if until november every presidential announcement will seem just a little bit like a campaign message in a mop and artsy new york review from china from beijing china international relations expert vic to go on the line one of victor thanks for the time today so whatever the political squabbling going on this is going to have far reaching ramifications for the economy and the people of hong kong 1st off isn't it. well i would believe. after the in egland of the hong kong national security last ability and peace would be restored being on people in mongolia each or greater safety for their lives for their work and the situation in our goal will stabilize this is really going to be the megatrends now all those countries watch opposed to the national security law of show me where these stand are they supporting secession cindy sheehan terrorism or colluding with foreign countries to commit these
4:06 am
offenses these offenses are bob's and incriminated in almost all the countries and regions in the world so let's have the ones sane stand rather than a block or a city well as you say there are a lot of people around the world that don't see such a bright future for hong kong but going to the lesson of this trade deal that the special relationship of course trades a 2 way thing and we've talked about what it meant how it may affect hong kong and all of those are going to affect the united states there's a lot of trade between the 2 there's about what a trillion dollars trade between the. us in hong kong is one of the highest in the world. well as a general point any opposition to free trade free commerce is a bad scene and it will be mutually destructive not between whole com and the united states actually the united states is running a trade surplus so if it really wants to kill
4:07 am
a golden goose that the american export is will suffer all kinds also one of the most important almost season bases for the headquarters of the american companies and i hope the americans will not play with fire because it will burn themselves and therefore i think that has make sure that stability in hong kong is restored and everyone can make good business sort of calm and everyone will really enjoy safety and peace yeah but how do the relations going to recover from this when china says it's ready in countermeasures how are you going to pick up from this i was china and america and britain in a minute with the latest 5 g. think we're going to pick up from this is not going to be easy is it. well between china and the united states we all know that war is and should not be an option so no one is trigger happy i hope between china and the united states now as for trade
4:08 am
i think washington is in a desperate mold it is really trying to do whatever it can to make sure that china does not develop but that's it that's impossible because the great development of china is unstoppable and irreversible so i think in about 10 years time or 15 years time the united states will need to come to terms with the reality that they china we've only got 5 times but we've only got 30 seconds i really quickly want to get in the britain and the decision to china's while away from the 5 g. network they're on top of what we've just been talking about re america how does how does that news going to be greeted in china than. well this u.k. decision is very unfortunate and it is very very much to be condemned by china and i think ironically this warhorse the u. k. telecom operators to build up as big as inventory of why we equipment as possible
4:09 am
before year end and to roll out of the 5 g. as quickly as possible in the coming 7 years so the policy actually would be counterproductive it may actually be while we spread region kate in a very ironic way that the british consumers eventually will rise up to involved with their foot so i think the united kingdom is really declining. to have belittled britain because it shows that it's no longer a very much independent foreign policy country it's becoming a lackey of the united states but orton vig circulated there victor coach professor at the sochi university in beijing things here time today. very much for having me . the us military facing damning allegations of systemic sexual violence in its ranks there's greater scrutiny now since the recent tragic killing of soldier the end of an s. again the 20 year old vanished in late april her body was found 2 weeks ago. partly

4:11 am
forward with similar harrowing stories of sexual assaults they've been talking to social media to call it what they describe as a grain harassment in the u.s. military former soldier trista it was also stationed in texas talk to us through her experience i got invited to a party off base and was told that it was a birthday party for one of the other girls that was going to start class with us at that same time we had not yet started class i made myself a journey and the other guys wanted to see what i needed and so i passed it around and when i got it back it didn't seem as though anyone had drink anything but i just kind of thought that was different but didn't really think much of it and kind of felt as though i could feel myself kind of blacking out and then the next morning when i got up to use the restroom and take a shower i realized how much pain i was actually in and i was still bleeding and i just you know i kind of was wondering well what happened and i tried really hard to remember and i couldn't the case actually has not developed i went back to legal
4:12 am
help and they told me after about 4 months investigating that there was no evidence and that the case would be dropped. well the pentagon issued a report in april of the moment a number of claims of sexual assault in the u.s. military christer again says plenty of cases a glossed over and that independent investigations of if a crucial. i saw a lot of females that i actually worked with that experience harassment and assault and even rape so i just thought it was crazy that this is actually the culture of it and no one is talking to each other about it so it it is happening and it's happening a lot. in just the amount of control that the military has to keep it kind of quiet is is what is surprising there needs to be an alternative to reporting there needs to be a civilian organization that's not affiliated with with the military whatsoever i
4:13 am
believe that there's they do claim that there's resources off base that you can go to but they're still affiliated with the military they're still able to kind of silly but under the rug to them believe just a completely separate organization where women can go and i believe that there shouldn't be any type of punishment for coming forward and speaking out. i just believe that it needs to bring more awareness to the civilian part of you know the community. next trouble tuesday night in jerusalem massive anti-government rallies that we've police using crowd control measures on protesters who defied orders to follow social distancing regulations demonstrators called on the israeli prime minister to resign as he faces ongoing corruption charges and trial there's a quick look at how the scuffles unfolded them.

4:15 am
many are out of work but they say it's not only the pandemic itself that the prime minister is not got a grip on the same speed they want to see him gone from power they offered up with his corruption this is what some of them had to say yes believe there's a good chance that the people will realize that there is a leader dragging us to a dangerous place this is why i'm here and i hope that in the coming demonstrations all others will join the protests. all groups must unite every day not just once a week to protest and in the end she will go home. for 3 years i was in the street to get a partnership. educate we had a great minister he was like i did i put mr jackson thank you. at one point the police for having to physically remove people from the gates of the prime minister's residence in basis and 50 people for disturbing the public order
4:16 am
and also throwing objects at the police and at journalists the protesters issued a statement in which they said that the prime minister should at the sponsor please and they called for him to do so by and by the signing they also say that the common coalition is do nothing to improve the lives of ordinary israelis least of all during the time of coverage 19 fall asleep middle east correspondent this is all to international good morning at 16 past the hour coming up while america's 2 main parties hold the limelight the so-called 3rd party presidential candidates are also gearing up for the better selection we hear from a newly chosen nominee for the green party then one of.

i do financial houses of pressure from the block to move with the pay reparations for past ties to the slave trade campaigners say the firms fortunes come from colonial a pressure that is time for the full show the. sense of justice george freud back in may the backlog of movement has swept across the western world not just rallying against police brutality or institutional racism but challenging symbols of racism to. here in britain the campaign has expanded from toppling statues of slave traders to exposing old banks accused of profiteering from the slave trade in fact some even
4:19 am
argue that london's entire financial district was built on the back of slavery and colonial oppression pos directors of high street banking giants including lloyds and even barclays and even the bank of england and fortunes from the trades. the city of london as we know it would not have been without the slave trade london firms played a crucial role in financing trade with colonies that includes funding the transatlantic passage of african captives in appalling conditions to be sold to slaves and it's not just companies under the microscope that comes as 10 to 20 percent of britain's wealthiest people could be identified as having significant historical links to slavery the blackguards much away is called a mirror up to those institutions forcing them to confront their past ties to imperialism while many have apologized is it enough. apologies are not enough apologies are stage one of an effort that says we have knowledge of the harm we've
4:20 am
caused and we're prepared to enter phase 2 which is a discussion and negotiations about how to repair that and the suffering that continues to be the legacy of slavery in the caribbean today the amount the british government power to pay off slave owners who were deemed to have property was so large only repaid in full in 2015 in fact it's the modern equivalent of $17000000000.00 pounds means wasn't a tax is contributed to the abolition of slavery but is that something to be trumpeted is this really something to be regarded with a collective pride and surely it's now the time for countries aren't descendants of slaves to see the same kind of compensation with banks coughing up the money they have to pay back the money is because the money's not going right and so does this is some excuse they. have to give back this money for them to contribute back to what they took from. what happened in the far far.
4:21 am
more be a good idea for. people but if it's still continue to benefit off those mistakes it was quite up into 2015 so that means all my working life i've been paying them for what they did to my insistence so as britain finally coming to terms with its crimes of colonialism or is this just a way for corporations to push that past under the carpet by the black lines matter movement has shown is that britain is to choose to its imperial past is at best conflicted it's shot at woodstock r.t. . the upcoming us presidential election will effectively be a 2 horse race with only 2 men standing a chance of winning but there are of course also plenty of so-called 3rd party candidates and independents in the running and the green party has just chosen its nominee his name how we a whole kinsey's from new york he's a former lorry driver a grassroots campaign. who's previously run for office at every level of government in new york from city councilor to gov orchid's want to redirect federal funds to

boost education and extend health care provision to all americans he's also known for his anti war and to nuclear efforts the green party has been putting up candidates in the us presidential elections now since 1906 as things stand auctions will appear on our ballots in the half of the country states though but the party apparently is working on securing more it's a complicated process with each state requiring different signature thresholds to get on the ballot but perhaps the biggest challenge is actually getting national air time because the dominant 2 party system doesn't allow 3rd party candidates on to those so crucial important televised debates and the organs told us there's a growing up or type for electoral alternatives. the polls show that about 2 thirds of the american people would like to see another major party an alternative to the 2 major parties that we have now and a lot of those people have come to the green party 3rd parties in this country
4:23 am
going back to the 18th thirty's a set the agenda it was a liberty party that put the question of slavery on about it was the populist ari's that question of monopolies on the public agenda it was the socialist party that put social insurance programs like social security the most popular programming out into the public debate so we made our way in the white house we're definitely going to move the debate in a policy agenda in this country the green party represents very different policies where not you know just democrats who are disgruntled or something we do want a universal medical system medicare for all we do want serious climate action you know donald trump caused climate change a hoax but the democrats act as if it's a hoax if you look at their programs we have a serious program to deal with climate change we stand against the u.s. going into countries and tell them who their leader should be we're for peace initiatives to cuts in military spending and getting serious about this new nuclear

arms race to some of those there from how he hold his no one of the cloth by the last time the green party's presidential nominee back in 2016 proved to be a polarizing figure many in the media accused then jill stein of splitting the liberal vote denting hillary clinton's campaign. tonight the dangers of a 3rd party candidate democratic year and frustration is growing some seen here is that the votes belong to hillary clinton and that that my votes were stolen from someone else and i think that's an insult to american voters what do you say to those voters who are would worry that by voting for their progress as they are liberals or democrats that by voting for you they would actually help elect donald trump as politics of fear actually delivered everything that we were afraid of it's better to vote for which war and make the politicians come to you to settle for what you really don't want even though it's a lesser evil to try and not get which a neat so we're saying don't get lost in the sauce they were voting nos with green party stance if you for medicare for all you go for advice and you just vote yes
4:25 am
medicare for all they take in the slogan but you're not going to get a green new deal from the democratic party it's a green party position and if you're serious about climate change we're the party you need to see or our appeal to the service news organizations the civic organizations is don't let the artes set the agenda do your job open up the debate least of the candidates who have enough balance to put sensually when the electoral college and the presidency which in this election would be for parties the size of democrats or republicans who would be the greens in the libertarians american people deserve to know what all their actions are it's a big job this country makes it much harder to get on a ballot in any other in electoral the markets in the world. the group of coronavirus in latin america has seen deaths in the region i paced now the united states and canada combined the reasons are very the mix of poverty top level denials and cash strapped governments struggling to try to keep the public informed
