do you guys know rodrigo duterte, the president of the philippines? he's kind of like trump, if trump was a foreigner, instead of a guy who hates foreigners, right? he's creepy around women. he dislikes obama for no good reason, and just like trump, he's always saying something controversial. >> outrage growing in the philippines after its leader called god "stupid." late last week, president rodrigo duterte asked why adam e were created to be allowed to give in to temptation. >> you created something perfect and then you think of an event to tempt and destroy the quality of your world. who is this stupid god? ( laughter ) >> trevor: oh, man! that audience did not like that. ( laughter ) yeah, they look like when the t.m.z. staff had kanye west visit them. that's what they looked like. and if you're going to call god stupid, you don't need to bring up big theological questions about adam and eve. god made a bear too fat to (bleep). that's stupid. that's silly. pull that up. meanwhile, back in the u.s., the supreme court voted today, 5-4, to uphold pre

rodrigo duterte has been president of the philippines for two years. on drugs has cost thousands of lives. his human rights record has attracted international condemnation and prompted charges of authoritarianism. and yet he has an approval rating unheard of in most democracies. my guest today was, until last month, chiefjustice of the philippines. maria lourdes sereno was removed from the supreme court by her fellow justices. was that a victory against corruption, or a devastating, duterte—inspired blow to democracy? maria lourdes sereno, in manila, welcome to hardtalk. hello. hi, stephen. i'm glad to be with you. well, it is a pleasure to have you on the programme. i'm mindful that, just a month or so ago, you were the chief justice of the philippines supreme court. now, you are removed from the court, and you are perhaps the most polarising individual in your country today. are you relishing being in the political spotlight? to the contrary, stephen. there is nothing to really be joyful about my situation. but what is happening right now, with respe

but it goes to a larger problem, in that they're showing zero morality, whether it sums to, and rodrigo duterte, he's it was. america itself is a beacon of freedom to the world. that's what presidents, both republican and democrat have done before president trump. they offer that hope, and when donald trump begins to say, no, you know, and creates the false moral equivalencies, we're a world in a hobbit hole where we're just retreating and scared of the shadows. and that is the big problem with trump's leadership. kwame, they're trying to make a deal with people's lives. that's the problem. this is people's lives. this is where i keep saying this is not aboutpolitics, this is about humanity. then i have to ask the question, are they even going to be able to make a deal. >> what happened to mexico is going to pay for the wall? now we have a $2 billion dollar funded by taxpayers, and we're going back to legacy, whether it was native-american, or slave separation, or japanese internment camp. this is a long line we should by ashamed of and look at where we have come from historically and figure ou

he said that, you know, rodrigo duterte, the filipino dictator is a great guy. he says he wants vladimir putin, who, of course, shot down an airliner over ukraine and invaded crimea and interfered in our elections, that he wants him to be in the g8 and this is something that we'veeen him drawing closer and closer to the dictators and authoritarians in the world rather than our allies. i don't think there's a strategy and it has to do with north korea and wanting to save his skin on that front. >> you brought up an interesting point because it's a perfect segue into something that christopher dickey wrote and i want to read this quote from something you recently wrote in "the daily beast." write at trump checked out of the g7ing the impression lingered that he was much more at ease with the tyrants that are adversaries than the leaders who have been our allies for the last 70 years. what did you mean whereby president trump is taking his personal relationships on the world stage? >> well, i think, first of all, you have to understand that he believes in personal

the philippines president rodrigo duterte has said he will resign if enough women sign a petition callinger this incident on a stage in south korea, where you can see him goading a woman into kissing him. mr duterte said the kiss was ‘pure showbiz‘ intended to entertain the crowd of filipino expats who were attending the event. the woman is a married filippino working overseas. when questioned about the incident at a press conference mr duterte also said this "we enjoyed it. asking for malice, i do not do it in public if there is malice. i would pull the woman down somewhere along the empty hall there. " as you can imagine a lot of people aren't impressed. women rights groups have launched an online campaign with the hashtag babaeako — i am a woman — and are organising a protest march. here's the reaction of one of the campaigners. you don't have too kissed the woman if you want to entertain people, the fa ct if you want to entertain people, the fact that you thought that kissing the woman would entertain people still says something about how you view woman. woman are for entertainment, t

the "me too" memo may not have reached the filipino president rodrigo duterte.a when he called a woman on stage, and convinced her to kiss him. the crowd cheered, others were less impressed. she didn't look overly impressed either. one civil rights group said: the "disgusting theatrics of a misogynist president". a man in italy who took a selfie of the scene where a women was hit and badly by a train has been widely condemned. police caught forced him to delete his picture. but the image of him taking the picture appeared on many front pages in italy. tunisia's world cup football team is gearing up for the world cup. it has been accused of feigning injury to try and break the ramadan fast as soon as possible. in one match their goalkeeper appeared to feign injury at sundown which is when the fast comes to an end. as he lay on the pitch receiving medical treatment, his team—mates rushed to the sidelines to drink water and eat dates. this guy is enjoying some dates and getting some food and water. the goalkeeper mouez hassen tweeted. .. that is the bbc news tweet.

philippine president rodrigo duterte is at the centre of fresh controversy after kissing an overseasing an event in south korea. he called the woman on stage in seoul and persuaded her to kiss him in exchange for a book. the incident drew cheers from the crowd. but it's attracted widespread criticism online. the us supreme court has ruled in favour of a christian bakerfrom colorado, who refused to make a wedding cake for a gay couple. in a 7—2 decision, the justices faulted the colorado civil rights commission's handling of the claims brought against jack phillips, saying it had shown a hostility to religion. now, every off—duty fbi agent is entitled to have a good time, but beware the backflip. as he performed the move on the dancefloor of a denver bar, this agent's gun dropped out of his belt. when he tried to grab it, it discharged, hitting another customer in the leg. the man is now being treated for a non—life—threatening injury. police in colorado are investigating. now, i have a few problems with this. one, chinos with no socks, but maybe that's just me. secondly, the dreadful

. >> rodrigo duterte. >> if i could get a 30-second footnote. i wanted to underscore something that general gregson said earlier which i thought was critical but we didn't talk about it that much. and that is, in the south china sea, the measure of effectiveness is what other people can do. it's the fishing rights of the locals, it's the transit rights of, you know, other ships from other nations, particularly japan for example, and also apropos ofinate nate's point, w become so -- i mean, the thing i wonder about is this obsession with lethality. it matters not that we can still sink every chinese boat in the water in the south china sea. that is the wrong measure of effectiveness, at least in this case. and the fact that we are not there, that we read about the boat-bumping incidents -- or see them on tv, or, you know, from google earth or whatever. seems like we're headed down the wrong road, which in some ways is going to make it worse rather than better. it's not what we ought to be doing. >> over here, yes. >> question for mr. donnelly. ju

in terms of who he's praised, he's praise the kim jong-un, xi jinping, rodrigo duterte, vladimir putin, conte and the president of poland which is also moving in an antidemocratic direction. what does that mean if, in fact, we are looking at a realignment or are we? >> we've seen it. we've seen it over theast year and a half. i think that i would talk about it not as a realignment, i would talk about it as the united states basically pulling it out of the business of international politics. politics is figuring out how we inhas been bit the world together and donald trump ever since he became president has been pulling out of international treaties in this teenager sort of way. i am not interested in living together with the rest of you of the we always get the raw deal whether or not this is supported by facts, which it's not actually usually. we've been in this situation for a year and a half. what we have seen over the last couple of days is just the very, very public performance of it but this is something that's been under way. >> christine, donald trump takes this, his new way of

i rodrigo duterte presentations and speaking a lot so it was all right.ut together some amazing projects. really impressed this year with the calibre of the projects coming forward. we first met the schoolgirls from cornwall with their serve safe idea two months ago. they've come up with an affordable wristband to be worn by surfers in the swimmers in the sea, which would help lifesavers on the short track their exact permission. aerospace cornwall has already offered the girls £5,000 to develop their idea. today the european space agency said it would match the money. you can tell it's a good idea because you 90, tell it's a good idea because you go, surely someone has already thought of this, this must exist! if you're able to raise a little bit of money to get this started then we can double that from the european space agency and help you through those feasibility study and testing kind of stages. it's all very well doing a presentation, isn't it, but then they started asking you questions. what was that like? well, nervous, yes, not very good at answ
