for example and then countries of the former eastern block, hungary, poland, the czech republic, slovakiae a fractured continent, where issues of migration, issues of regional politics, are splitting europe ina regional politics, are splitting europe in a way that we have not had, for a long time. and that is what is worrying leaders like angela merkel and emanuel macron, and you get the sense that they are almost fighting a losing battle as more and more nationalist leader spring up around the world, the election of a new president of brazil, who is compared to the donald trump of south america. and today donald trump will be the only world leader here not to attend this paris peace forum that will take place this afternoon. global initiative started by president macron to promote values of multilateralism and good governance but donald trump will not be attending. that then speaks volumes about the kind clash of values, of political ideology that will be on show here between those two leaders, between the different wings of global political ideology at the moment. thank you, as we conti

secondly, jan tousey asked, another journalist murdered for his work in slovakia very quickly after thatsome individuals and there were high level political resignations, which sent a signal. we haven't seen i think sufficient action from the saudi arabian officials. in something like this. we shouldn't see resignation. we should see some real impact there and we should see the united states refusing to let a u.s. resident be murdered in a foreign embassy. i've been impressed freedom for 10 years i've never seen a murder like this. >> tom portales porteous, are you satisfied with the response from the white house? >> of course not. america has always had a relationship with saudi arabia which is deeply problematic because they turn a blind eye to human rights abuse in saudi arabia for decades.since trump administration came into power, consolidating power in saudi arabia and the situation in saudi arabia getting much worse in terms of freedom of expression, in terms of freedom of the press, arbitrary arrests, since all that has happened the trump administration has continued to turn a bl

you mentioned an alliance between the governments of poland and czech republic, and slovakia. and yourself, even though i misspoke. there is this growing phenomenon of illiberal democracy, which your prime minister coined the term. that sends chills through the hearts of people who believe there is democracy or autocracy. tell us what illiberal democracy is from what you see, because the press are victims of illiberal democracy. in many parts, they get push back. some of this tolerance in terms of migration, what is illiberal democracy and why is it a good thing? >> thank you for asking because i can explain, because it was pretty much mischaracterized and has been mischaracterized. what it was, we are faced that if it's not the liberals who win an election, then it is immediately considered a modern democracy. i give you one example. we won the latest election in april for the third time with a constitutional majority. 49.6% of all the votes went to us, with a record turnout and record support. hundreds of thousands of votes, we have more than all other parts of the parliamen

slovak slovakia, idiot hyenas. in turkey, we are branded as terrorists. i mean this is the language that is now used as a matter of course around the world. >> yes, and i think journalists have to generate trust. i think we need public support. that's the really important thing. i think the public needs to recognize we're proxies for the public. we're trying to help everybody what's going on in their own countries, in their own lives, and that the press is on their side. the press is trying to tell them the truth, tell them what's going on. and i think the erosion of public support has been perhaps the most dangerous thing because if the general public isn't supporting us, it's very hard to get governments around the world to treat us better. so i think a lot of work has to be done on that. and i've become increasingly concerned and interested in the whole notion of media literacy. i think all around the world schools need to be teaching people the difference between factual information and manipulated information. and the more we can kind of get a genera

germans are unearthed after 1945 so as to create the ethnically homogenous states of poland and czech slovakia. none of that kind of violence is contemplated in 1918. the fundamental sovereignty of germany to the agony of germany's politicians who have to exercise it, remains intact. infringed, of course, hemmed in, subject to conditions, but the ultimate agony for the german in june 1919 is they have to sign this peace. no one expected the commandant to sign the peace that ended world war the. there was no peace that germany could sign. he was an installed government in the western zone after all of the dirty work had done. in 1919, the german politicians are asked to sign their own evisceration as a state. yes, absolutely, this would have been a much more stable structure if the united states had stayed in place and one should then add that this is a chain reaction because america pulled back, britain pulled back too. britain's commitment to france was conditional on america's commitment to britain. why did it have to be? because britain's only weapon was the blockade and the blockade is dan
