let me talk about the hague convention. principle, the remedy available to the hague convention of having the abducted children return to the parents, seems to achieve a fair process. however reality is rather different. as soon as the taking parent abducted my chair -- children to ecuador, she filed for divorce, parental support and child support. henceforth, she has retained 13 attorneys from nine different law forms in ecuador in two years. 13 attorneys from nine different law firms in ecuador! none in the us. when we separated for divorce proceedings in the us, she did not even bother to retain an attorney from the united states. she did not appear in court and the court gave me full custodial and parental rights of my children. she continued on with the cases in ecuador. the that's just the 13 ecuadorian attorneys were not retained randomly. they are rather widely known for their political connections in ecuador and questionable unethical illegal practices. in fact, the very first attorney chosen by ecuador is the wife

the abductors seems to have been successfully fighting a safe haven in ecuador. haguepartner country that has been listed as noncompliant bys the state department for several consecutive years. let me talk about the >> in principle, the legal remedy of seeking to have abducted children returned to their place of residence. -- attorneys from nine different none inirms in ecuador, the u.s. when we served when he served her divorce proceedings she didn't even bother to retain an attorney and the court gave me full custody. the first attorney is the wife of the person who is the minister of interior of police. my attorneys warned me. the wife -- don't even bother coming to work. they retained the services of two attorneys. more recently -- bribe. it is worth emphasizing that we have committed a eddocumented a fairly large list of irregularities from day one in ecuador. let me share some of the irregularities with you. did notr court hearing allow testimony from the u.s. -- from u.s. indpeptependent professionals that are going to testify. she just did not allow them to tes

and the hague convention failed again there. laws and treaties are being ignored. mr. cook's children remain abducted. with the kidnapping parent. this is just another example of japan's continuity principle at work, and it crushes any hope of reuniting with our kidnapped children. according to my discussion with the state department, mr. cook's case would now be classified as a judicial resolution, under their interpretation of the goldman act. in other words, japan gets rewarded, for finding a way to avoid returning children that are kidnapped from the united states. it is another example of japan's systemic failure to return kidnapped children, involves two japanese parent can living in the united states. i point this out because it is the second time that a case involving two japanese parents received extra judicial effort, but i have not yet seen in cases involving a nonjapanese parent. like in the oregon case that ended in 2016, the enforcement of the hague return order failed. in this new instance, a japanese form of habeus corpus petition was filed in the naglia

mission to save her breakfast deal the british prime minister is meeting her docs counterpart in the hague later she will visit the german chancellor in berlin she is seeking last minute changes to help sell her deal to rebellious lawmakers back home but the e.u. says it won't renegotiate. also coming up breaking the silence after four weeks on the rest the french president announces reforms and admits to making mistakes. because i think most of the except my share of responsibility i may have given you the feeling that i wasn't concerned that i help other priorities i also know that i've hurt some of you with my statements it took me through some of her from him on one of my callers helping to diffuse the yellow vest protests that have thrown the country into turmoil but will these concessions be enough. and little. i'm sumi so much going to thank you for joining us as she is a woman on a mission british prime minister theresa may is on a whirlwind european tour to try to salvage or break the deal the first stop is the hague for talks with dutch prime minister mark after that she's expect

theresa may is soon to arrive at the hague. it would be postponed. very lo and behold the prime minister standing up behold the prime minister standing up in the house of commons saying it will be postponed. now she has this incredibly difficult task of trying to exact —— extract some sort of concession out of the european union. that is enough to convince a vast number of mps they are willing to change their mind and endorsed the deal. as we found out on brea kfast the deal. as we found out on breakfast this morning, there are plenty on the government benches and opposition benches who simply don't buy this. i spoke to ian blackford, the leader of the snp earlier. he declared a vote of no confidence should be the next move, led by the labour party. yes, a number of opposition mps want to see a vote of no—confidence. leaders are hesitating. i think they are hesitating. i think they are hesitating because bluntly, politician want to win votes when they call them. there is a nervousness among some on the front bench of labour that

she is heading to the hague to meet with the dutch prime minister and berlin to meet angela merkel.ritain leaves the eu on march 29 with or without a deal. joining us live from brussels is maria tadeo. talk to us about the eu reaction. the eu has said renegotiations, theresa may is seeking reassurance on the talks. area: a lot of people surprised, everyone expected this would not go ahead, that it would be defeated but the general consensus in brussels was the fact that she would put it to a vote and have it rejected and she would fly out to the european capital probably in a panic to get some concessions. decided she has this -- to delay because of the size of the defeat does make her look a lot weaker in the eyes of european leaders. in terms of our the going to give any concessions, we heard yesterday on the record from donald tusk, the head of the european council is that the eu is happy to help her get to the finish line. the eu does not want the u.k. to crash out. no one wants a no deal but this is key for the eu, it will be difficult to tweak and change what is legally bindin

of the global sense of for adaptation he joins us now live from the hague in the netherlands good to have you with us and would it be a fair assessment to say that the debate surrounding climate change now has moved on from what's causing it and why but how billions of people around the world and businesses too can kind of depths and adapt quickly to ensure that communities are as resilient as possible to climate change. thank you daniel i think that's a fair assessment indeed that we are moving from commitments to action it's also fair to say that action particularly on adaptation should be increased dramatically last week the privilege of being in ethiopia in the northern parts in mccalla there you can see on the ground how farmers are struggling with a changing climate they're also to ones who are at the forefront of implementing solutions having said that we need much more dramatic action on adaptation at scale and at speed so even if we meet the targets set by the that the paris climate agreement we're still going to need to make sure people can adapt climate change isn't going

meanwhile the british prime minister theresa may is visiting the hague and brussels and berlin trying to salvage her break that deal it all coincides with an emergency debate in the british parliament over her decision to postpone a vote on the unpopular plan to leave the e.u. the details on that now with lawrence. your worries are more you're going to remain has created the country if not at war with itself than a deeply divided and angry this was the scene outside parliament as the prime minister was about to speak i don't agree with conservatives new fund a very reliable warrior very wary of the democratic will of the people should be respected yes we'll have to find out what it is. that as the representatives of the people the political class is equally in chaos order statements the prime minister . after so much time and energy spent on coming up with a way of trying to leave the european union while keeping everybody happy the prime minister has found a deal has so little support it could not get through a vote m.p.'s were openly mocking her in return she looks totally exasperat

theresa may will today meet eu leaders in the hague, berlin and brussels, to try to rescue her brexit senior eu officials have already warned they won't renegotiate the agreement. so what's the reaction among uk business leaders? well, this is a word cloud we've created of some of the main concerns in the corporate world, including "no—deal", "uncertainty" and "messy". specifically, the director of the british chambers of commerce dr adam marshall said: "firms are looking on with utter dismay at the ongoing saga in westminster, and express concern that politicians are seemingly acting in their own interest, with little regard for the millions whose livelihoods depend on the success of uk business and trade". and this from the head of the confederation of british industry carolyn fairbairn: "unless a deal is agreed quickly, the country risks sliding towards a national crisis." ( pres ross denton is a trade partner at baker mckenzie. what we have heard over the last 12 hours, theresa may wants to go back to brussels and say give me something to get this vote through. what does she want?

the prime minister might go to him in the hague this visit coinciding with an emergency debate in the british parliament over her decision to postpone a vote on the plan to leave the. brussels. the deal is not acceptable in the united kingdom but no other deal it seems is acceptable for the european union writ large so the reason may has a place as it were she has to try and square a circle with no suggestion of are very many questions that she will face very few answers that we can see here that will be acceptable back on the domestic front in the united kingdom france's president is promising to raise the minimum wage and to cut taxes but some demonstrators say his concessions don't go far enough his first national address since the yellow vest rallies began last month in the new micron said he does shoulder some responsibility for the anger. thailand it will hold a general election on february twenty fourth next year after postponing it five times it will be the first vote since the military seized power back in twenty four teen human rights groups are concerned about the fairness

morning in the hague friendly greetings at the start of what is for british prime minister theresa may at desperate mission can she get dutch prime minister margaret on board to help owen concessions for her bracks a deal publicly he's keeping his lips sealed in the matter that may spokesperson later said the meeting was productive. in london meanwhile there's hope it's absolutely vital that we deliver the bricks that the seventeen point four million people voted for i'm sure the prime minister will guarantee that we get a good deal and i hope will support it but she's not going to get improvements is she really be a pessimist let's wait and see she's putting everything she's got into this i think she deserves our full support trying to do that. but even as make of that errol in berlin this car door wasn't the only thing proving resistance german chancellor angela merkel has holding firm to her iron rule no agreement with london on anything that could jeopardize the unity of the e.u. that means no renegotiations but according to merkel efforts are being made to secure a share insist fo
