friends nothing is higher on the wants and needs of us taxpayers than on time production of a saudi arabian missile system so why are us citizens forking over one hundred forty six million dollars to lockheed martin you ask. well according to whitney web overman press news that may have something to do with the competition in the marketplace web writes one likely explanation for the pentagon's willingness to pay such a significant amount to subsidize the saudi bad system is the fact that the saudi government had intended to purchase the cheaper and more effective russian made us four hundred instead of the pad. welcome to the world of international arms deals where taxpayers subsidize not only the merchants of death but their warmongering clients as well now let's start watching the hawks. pretty. good looks like real that this would. be the bottom. like you that i got. with that we. would. be. welcome on the watching the hawks i am i robot and on top of the wall and boy oh boy oh boy oh boy. another massive amount of money but not even for our own defense weapons a subsidizing somebody els

well and so now it's up to members of the international community and specifically allies of the saudi arabian government to ramp up their calls and to continue calling for the women to be released. until they're released we have to remain really defiant and ensure that these women are released and that this crackdown on human rights defenders and the broader crackdown on human rights in the kingdom must come to an end that. there was jubilation when women are allowed to drive given the right to drive in saudi arabia but since then why have things taken such a turn where we've seen young women escaping or trying to run away from the kingdom and we've seen them crackdown on activists just calling for women's basic rights. well it's important to highlight here that women like. any man and others were calling for the end of the male guardianship system a deeply discriminatory system that limits women's freedoms inside the kingdom they were calling for the right to drive for women as well and yet despite that despite the lifting of the ban on driving these very women's rights activists and peacefu

in part why the saudi arabian government engages in torture because i think that that's a question manyus often ask people like myself who unfortunately have to read about and speak to survivors of torture in a variety of contexts often find ourselves asking but why some of us can imagine the entirely false but theoretical ticking time bomb scenario so that's one reason someone could imagine someone might engage in torture but as we've heard today some of the people who have very credible allegations of torture are in prison for doing what mohamed been some on the saudi crown prince did himself for advocating for women to drive for example. so i i think it's really important we're having this conversation here in washington in congress because what you heard from this morning from senator leahy and representative mcgovern this afternoon rather unfortunate doesn't represent the views of everyone in congress i think that the view of many members of congress has shifted and is shifting about saudi arabia but not sufficiently and certainly the administration has not shifted its view which h

the saudi arabian put their domestic struggles to one side and top the group. penalty from brazilian midfielder fabio lima decided the outcome of the match in group a — al—wasl of the united arab emirates narrowly beating saudi side al—nassr 1—0 in dubai. let's look at some of the day's other stories, shall we, and staying with football, manchester united's alexis sanchez could be out for six to eight weeks with knee ligament damage picked up in the premier league win over southampton on saturday. ole gunnar solskjaer could be without up to 10 players for wednesday's champions league tie with paris saint—germain. tiger woods has withdrawn from this week's arnold palmer invitational at bay hill after suffering from a neck strain. the 43—year—old american currently ranked 12 in the world hopes to play in next week's players' championship at sawgrass. the usa eagles beat samoa 27—0 to win a second sevens title in a row on home turf. the las vegas win was their first on this season's world rugby sevens series and they are now clear at the top of the world rankings

website the daily beast and he claims that his own investigation proves that the saudi arabian government had gained access to bases over his phone but he asked that he's unsure to what degree of any the parent company of the national inquirer american media inc was aware of the details but what he does say is that both he and bezos dymov well last to say publicly that the original story had not relied on electronic eavesdropping or on hucking and again both men refused to do that so why would the saudis be interested in what's on jeff bezos is for. well this is where it really does become a bit of a spy thriller because jeff bezos not only owns amazon but he also owns the washington post and who what for the washington post but the sound journalists come out because shocks cheney and you will remember that almost six months ago he was murdered in the sound consulate in turkey and now the washington post covered that story extensively as did dave w a but they made that many reports linking the sound a crown prince mohammed bin solomon to the killing now sanjay arabia has always denied tha

process has taken place within saudi arabia itself no specifics though a real resistance from the saudi arabian commission when it comes to internationalizing the investigation there is a un led investigation into the saudi journalists deaths and an awful lot of frustration amongst council members by the lack of cooperation from saudi arabia when it comes to supporting that investigation the saudi said it was very much down to them to deal with the situation internally and that's the impression at least that the saudis are giving the council here during this statement so while the saudi arabia's human rights council is speaking about conference in geneva name. ten human rights activists women's rights activists are due to be sentenced to end saudi itself they don't know their charges they don't have lawyers representing them so how is their speech being received there. with great alarm after the saudis had a chance to speak eight different countries were given one minute and a half to give their reply many of those countries are diplomatically saudis allies but the u.k. was the first to kick of

including you know when you look to what's happening in yemen with the conflict over there and the saudi arabian role there in the region more broadly and so it's this duality of how the saudi regime participates in the world that mr all sharp finds objectionable and wanted to call out by speaking out in this historical moment. about his treatment saying go around town and move in these seventeen years detention because grantham does have that reputation of how it treats its detainees. he documented any cases which you might have found suspicious. well look i mean mr al sharpie basically like any prisoner who who is left to guantanamo today international legal and medical authorities agree that just the fact of indefinite imprisonment without charge or sentence by itself constitutes a form of psychological torture so even if you just look at that baseline mr is a survivor of torture a person who is being tortured right now as we speak by being kept at guantanamo for seventeen years on and indefinitely without charge without sentence without a fair process and we're not even talking about other f
