prominent m.p. for britain's ruling conservative party is under fire after he made a joking reference to libya jacob riis mog called of the african state the people's republic of germany jar or something parties and your conference. both. show their. growth over thirty. years. this is quite a bizarre comment to be heard from a well known politician referencing another nation this was indeed hard line breaks a tear and tory m.p. jacob green small speaking on the sidelines of the annual a conservative party conference and what he was actually referencing was the great socialist people's libyan arab jamahiriya which is roughly translated as state of masses and that's what the north african nation of libby used to be called under more market duffy yet he chose those words instead and reaction was very swift to follow deary me jacob reese mogue your first attempt at global diplomacy has failed and a bit of casual racism did you and boris johnson have the same job if you teach at eton college maybe now is the time to learn some respect for other countries little england jacob riis malk show

in britain and a professor in sweden have both been slum for breaching the new political correctness dictates in case you missed it polly takes us through a few of the things we have partly need to know. there was a time when men were men and women were women and good old fashioned oppression was reserved for the lucky few but in the case you missed it things ate what they used to be. interested in dire need of us to see a student philosopher has been sacked from a psychology job on a university magazine for retreating to reach we have a reason he did us a goal that state women don't have a piece. and over in sweden a professor is being investigated for telling students that there are still nickel and biological differences between men and women they both made the fatal error of timing i thought i meant expressing it honest opinion publicly naive i know i had to get into this raging debate about whom i want to find the bad i just want society to be super inclusive for all. the people like the british hubris this recent past and frankly your ground does need some help with

britain support what the fence secretary gavin williamson saying the u.k. fully bucks the decision democratic party member paul hero saves both the u.s. and russia should move to negotiation and avoid an escalation but shifting the blame and putting the burden of proving you're in compliance with something rather than showing that you know the united states proving that russia is not in compliance or something or russia proving that the united states is not by its way they say it should be aimed or geared at moving forward negotiations and deescalating the situation rather than just rash you know rhetoric well we asked people in new york city what they think of donald trump the solution to scrap the i.m.f. nuclear arms treaty with russia. it sounds like a terrible idea it sounds. crazy like crazy as he is and. i think disconnecting from the world is a really bad thing and it's one of many many bad things that are in the process of destroying our democracy in this country crazy simply crazy. all right let's move to the week's top stories now whedon's they brought tranche of the to c

the kind of jokey talk from his political enemy the late john mccain bomber in. britain for its part is indeed even on the international court of justice which ruled against trump this week on the u.k. minority government leader drazen may britain for the first time lost its seat at the table to the in brics india partner to brazil russia china and south africa in a massive when brought in dad the united nations security council christopher greenwood of the united kingdom has withdrawn from the election. announces the u.n. as the president this means that india as. he gets elected automatically to the ports but of course some injuries amaze government may favor the views of trans national security advisor john bolton about supernational legal institutions like the i.c.j. bolton says one should welcome the murder by strangulation of the international criminal court russia or the no longer an i.c.c. signatory says the usa is breaking post world war two legal norms joining me now is one of the world's greatest human rights lawyers geoffrey robertson q.c. jeffrey thanks for coming b

britain will still continue selling arms to say that bus atrocity was so many schoolchildren were killed often saying actually more british lives will be threatened if we don't sell the saudis weapons because terrorism factor is threatening britain's streets if we don't work with it is true governments have interests and governments pursue their interests and they convince their electorate that without this money you cannot have jobs this is a sinister game they play but look at civil society. the media human rights organizations n.g.o.s have increasingly being been putting pressure on western governments that this cannot continue like this when he said he would do the job in yemen in just a few days and it's been years now with with a tall with a death on the rise the boycott against cutter and what it did to even western interests in the region. and now the assassination in such a brutal manner of jamal fashionably so increasingly he his cover is being removed he's been exposed or have to wait zero and i have to ask you of course this week has again been deadly in gaza the gaza divisio

. the investigative group belling cat claims it has identified the second suspect linked by britain to the poisoning of a former russian spy and his daughter however the presented facts raises a number of questions. has been following the news conference in london not only has this whole story been creating diplomatic rows of course as we've seen unraveling throughout the last couple of months but certainly now more journalists here on the ground following this conference where these latest revelations that have had to resign and how to ravelled were journalists were confronting each other about opinions and certainly quite a media frenzy about these leaders to announcements in terms of what specifically had to present was that the said that they have identified through oh. social media . who the man who's been described as the second suspect in this case he was initially presented as alexander patrol belling cat say his real name is alexander miskin the sea is a medical doctor who was recruited by the g.r.u. before two thousand and three and was taken to moscow by the year twenty t

we see comments coming out of germany france and britain condemning in the strongest terms germany's once a suspend arms sales even even voices inside the u.s. president all the republican party are calling for sanctions and not buying what the saudis are selling. with the u.s. midterm elections near of her the state of texas has found itself at the political epicenter of the crucial poll examining how encouraging voters has landed the state's democratic party in hot water. never before have the u.s. midterm elections gotten so much attention and they're now just weeks away this november election is more important than any midterm in our lifetime they have to know that going out for the midterms is very important it's almost like going out for the twenty twenty election that's coming up we have a chance to restore some sanity in our politics. such hype in the states is usually only reserved for presidential elections or black friday maybe but this time around we're seeing politicians grappling over every last voter and the great state of texas is no exception texas is traditionally a

government this is a matter to be resolved between songe and great britain assad has relations with a country have solid since the current government took office last year the founder of wiki leaks is now suing ecuador for allegedly violating its human rights that's after the embassy imposed house rules for the whistleblower as a condition for partial access to the internet a former ecuadorian president rafael correa has called his country's handling of the case shameful. we gave us a long. piece he said obligation of the it why don't over meant to protect us you have to remember that no. science has. citizenship so it's not just this a look now. as. these rules are really a shame you don't then try to him relate as ours and they are you make so. little my point because they are. these rules are really against human rights and they're trying to isolate it as such and to push him to abandon our embassy. assad has been holed up inside the embassy in london since twenty eight twelve when he was granted political asylum in the u.k. it wants him for violating his parole terms the whistlebl

the world either while we're he's there at least for two other years france britain and germany as well as russia and china are trying to you. you might be wrong he might not be there for two more years well we'll just wait and let's just wait around for me yeah we never thought he would win so let's just wait and see so france britain and germany as well as russia and china are trying really hard to keep the nuclear deal alive by inventing ways to soften the blow the united nations are going to be united states sanctions for iran former nato secretary general javier solana believes the efforts are doomed to fail because of the u.s. international financial clout do you agree with solana so long it might be right because what i see in the european union is a gross domestic product that equals our own i see four hundred million people i see more money in their banks than in the u.s. and china combined i see more and potential power possibly than any other country in the world even russia china japan the u.s. and yet i see no political cohesion and so all that power just gets dissipat

are the u.s. britain france and spain if they turned around and said right that's it we're not supplying any more weapons that would have a hugely destabilizing effect on the regime there is already a pariah around the world and by the y. whose leader. is in deep trouble politically domestically so this is actually. an opportunity for the western powers to make a change to do something that could actually beneficially shy politics and. geopolitics in the middle east. and also a vertical task for free because that is what we are on the brink of humanitarian experts are saying that if the war carries on in its present intensity in its present form there is the possibility indeed the likelihood of twelve fourteen million people dying of starvation that would make that would be the worst humanitarian catastrophe anywhere in the world since the second world war surely in those circumstances you would think that anything you can prove to anything governments could do even had a chance of averting that catastrophe would be worth a try but no they're putting the interests of their arms

buying past nearly half of people in britain according to a new poll what makes that more alarming is that the u.k. is the second biggest supplier of weapons to the country waging the bombing campaign. reports. it's taken the lives of thousands of civilians and caused an unprecedented humanitarian crisis and yet according to a new poll almost a conference the people in the u.k. have no i did that there is a war taking place in yemen a war in which a saudi led coalition is conducting a deadly campaign of strikes in an attempt to drive out to see rebels. the war in yemen isn't just another humanitarian crisis in a far flung parts of the world the saudi led campaign is being waged partly thanks to a hefty supply of british made weapons the u.k. government happens to be the second biggest supplier of arms to the saudi kingdom after the us according to the latest figures u.k. military sales to riyadh increased by two thirds in twenty seventeen from the previous year i want to find out how much people in london know about it hi do you know what's happening in yemen. my. afraid i. don't. kno

an overwhelming force. living on a fracking company in britain is calling for rules on gas exploration to be relaxed the spike a string of tremors resulting from its drilling activities operations resumed to earlier this month after a seven year a bomb over safety concerns to the story this hour here's probably boyko. what happens when a company's just been given the right to start shale gas extraction but tiny earthquakes keep getting in the way that's the situation in lancashire in the north of england where energy company quadrangle off to months of legal wrangling and protests. started commercial exploratory fracking two weeks ago since then there have already been two so-called microseismic events microseismic enough to halt drilling twice. the boss of course drilling has the onset the government should just relax the rules and allow the company doing the fracking to frack on even after larger tremors because all the reports of seismic activity are scaring people it may well be that we have reached that time not only for the u.k. shell gas industry but also to address

the situation signing a new economic deals together. revelations that britain's energy minister held private talks with controversial. rage. italy refuses to back down over its budget plans despite them being rejected by brussels. even used issue to demonstrate just what he thinks of the response. from moscow just one i am here in the capsule and i know who you are welcome to the program. the justice department has confirmed that fifty six year old. is the man being held in custody in connection with the recent wave of mail bombs targeting a range of top u.s. political figures officials say they're going to find the fingerprints from one of the envelopes he allegedly sent. he has been charged today with. including interstate transportation explosive. yelling explosives threats against former presidents and certain other persons threatening interstate communications and assaulting current and former federal officers for these charges the defendant faces up to fifty eight years in prison this point we're getting kind of a picture of the individual the suspect who has been arrested and

have been able to do so but at the end of the day it is the u.s. which has to britain which has to carry the full verse what the countries are referring to if you're seeing unilateral and hostile trade enforcement action from the trumpet ministration china primarily but i would also suggest that part of the reason for the coming together is because both countries realize the important players. and without speaking to each other the relationship their relationship with each other as well as the larger geo political environment in which they operate becomes a little more negative. now shoes whether flung at speakers or banged on podiums to make the appearance in politics and that laughter be rejected this leads propose a new budget it was the turn of an italian m.e.p. to put his foot or rather shoe down. well it is the first time the european commission has rejected any member state's budget proposal the bloc gave rowing three weeks to revise its spending plans quarter break stand the dispute. brussels is sharpening its knife in preparation for a new battle with rome for the first ti

britain but it sounds as relations with the country have soured since the current government took office last year the founder of wiki leaks is suing ecuador for allegedly violating human rights that after the embassy imposed house rules for the whistleblower as a condition for partial access to the internet former ecuadorian president rafael correa has called his country's handling of the case shameful. we gave us a long. piece. of the it why don't government to protect us you have to remember that no. sounds. so it's not just this a look now. these rules are really. don't try to humiliate and. so. my point because. these rules are really against human rights and they're trying to isolate. as such and to push him to abandon our embassy. well songes been holed up inside the embassy in london since twenty twelve when he was granted political asylum there the u.k. wants him though for jumping bail but the whistleblower earth is london more than extradite him to the u.s. if he steps that side be embassy american lawmakers have doubled down on efforts to to have him extradited over es

in britain that the government officials here in britain have not really commented on anyway or refused to comment on the belling cats reports being made describing them essentially us part of the public debate and again he calls on the journalists here to remember really bad to all of the leaks being made against russia russia has had to respond to yet so no cooperation between official channels has taken place as of yet. the top stories this hour next it's time for a documentary in the executioners shouted so don't go away. and your own pal. coming up out. in from there is a trade in young girls sold into an underground sex industry sometimes by the people they trust the most. during his years serving his region is chief executioner jerry would hear inmates swear they were innocent. when you hear a person going to be taken out and he was innocent. civilians going to his body he's taken out that he was innocent on his last words. give me something to think about the execution and place some doubt. there was one young man in particular washington jr. he was trying to tell societ

from britain which is says it standing resolutely behind donald trump's comments how do you are going to play this is going to be as one voice. yes i think probably with the exception of the united kingdom and perhaps a couple of other. more minor present europe who want to show their support for united states whatever then of course the main players in europe. very much invested in this treaty after all this is a treaty designed to limit short and medium range weapons. from which of course it's europe that faces the major threat or didn't do at the time when this was put in place and may do again in the future if the restrictions on these kinds of weapons are lifted after all the united states itself of course has no basis of to be threatened it doesn't have any it's not trying to talk by these kinds of weapons simply because they deal with the shorter range weapons less than five and a half thousand kilometers in fact britain has of course as might be expected especially from the show it's a very hawkish defense secretary gavin williamson he himself said yesterday that without any d

poll shows that people in britain oblivious to the devastating war despite the u.k. being the second biggest arms applied to the study led by. the rights groups in france urging the french government to really launch a probe into the ninety ninety four rwandan genocide videos an urge comparing to show from more about the slaughter and it previously admitted. before you that you only to. give it to you because the people who believe in you deal with the image quality a good look to the field. my love of international h.q. in moscow is kevin i'm with you for the next. stay with me as i take you on today's big story starting with this one the president of china has instructed the country's military to be war ready for the raising the specter of potential conflict over trade and beyond but what's really going on here beyond the scenes what's the rhetoric or is it real our senior correspondent more gadgety of takes a closer look. so here's the thing the chinese government almost never says anything you wouldn't expect that's their thing their game ik they're incredibly careful reserved at

monday when britain tries to post a budget and social media will be back on monday two thousand five hundred fifty seven years to the day the rooms conquest of the sponsorship of the jewish ritual. we have leaving. all this. way all bring. more technology technology so that. well. this is the pat on the land. five years ago it was all grass. like that over there now we have this this pumper going day in day out we didn't have any choice really we could have put it over that way or ways i mean we could have moved it a little bit. but we have to let the people who own the mineral rights get to those minorities and they compensated us for what they took here but the company built it and we have it now for own next forty years i'm guessing i don't own. my house up there i'm there we have we used to have a beautiful view. now we have this to look at brings in a little bit of money very little if they took us out of here and get back all the money i made off of it is. going to happen. someday. you know on oil is all pumped out of the ground they will come back here and level it all out and

poll shows that hoffa people in britain are oblivious to yemen is devastating war despite the u.k. being the second biggest supplier to the saudi. rights groups the french government to relaunch a probe into the nine hundred ninety four rwandan genocide as video appearing to show. more about the slaughter but it previously admitted. that you only to you could. believe you but the only people you know if you. feel. good evening from in this is all to international. will cost to run the world from age q. here in moscow today so top story then heard the president of china has instructed the country's military to be war ready for the raising the specter of potential conflict over trade and beyond but what's this about is it real or is it rhetoric our senior correspondent takes a closer look so here's the thing the chinese government almost never says anything you wouldn't expect that's their thing they're giving their incredibly careful reserved at least with their tongues so when the chinese president orders his military to prepare for war serious indeed. the military to concentrate

with overseas. britain's role in conservative parties wrapped up its annual conference and despite speeches of unity the prime minister's position is under further scrutiny from party members just moments before to resume a was due to give a keynote speech she was dealt yet another blow with a letter of no confidence not that it seems to have dampened her spirit. trees amaze small jake. queen which we have to change for copyright reasons the first public performance of this kind as you can see here does seem to be the prime minister responding to those who mocked her dance moves while on the tour of africa in august i was to see a check of the record and so certainly curious political times here in the u.k. as we speak and this annual conservative party conference has wrapped up to quite a bit of drama despite british prime minister theresa may putting up a show of keeping up appearances including with that quirky dance to dancing queen despite a speech that was really seen as make or break for her because of course much of the speech was dedicated to theresa may trying to show tha

course also supports arm sales to saudi to bomb which a bombing yemen but britain says when it sells arms to saudi arabia that are using used written carefully reviews sales continually what do you make of the. well if you're reviewed i'm sales continually wouldn't be selling arms to saudi arabia even in the united states there are laws about selling arms to countries that are engaged in work crimes but those are obviously violated constantly as the u.s. sales are gives weapons in the case of giving them to israel or to egypt but the sales of saudi arabia are the number one sales not only from the united states but most of the western democracies so here you have the west saying that it stands for freedoms and human rights and human dignity and equality for women and it sells the majority of its weapons to the country that violates all of these principles so it's really about money and it's about the power of the weapons manufacturers located features in your new report war profiteers tell me a little bit about the revolving door because you talk about a revolving door between govern

legal in britain only on grounds of medical reasons the country's medical watchdog has expressed concern over these latest revelations we're confident that the vast majority of the u.k.'s food to its equinix do not recommend six election eve those who brought how they would take allegations of sex selection seriously and will investigate and in specific cases brought. according to british media couples have paid up to fourteen thousand pounds for the illegal procedure several senior doctors have allegedly set up appointments at private clinics in the u.k. for clients and then complete to the medical treatment abroad in countries like cyprus and the us. we discussed this issue with political activist kate smyth way to josephine quinta vali who is the founder of comment on reproductive ethics which focuses on ethical dilemmas in reproduction there are medical conditions which only affect boys or only affect girls and it's actually fairly standard practice in lots of places around the world for couples who have a family history of those kind of conditions to be given i.v.'s and give

officers with twenty thousand fewer police officers in twenty ten this is britain according to theresa may and main stream media has come under concerted attack from the biggest country on earth russia after u.k. failure to overthrow assad of syria russia stands accused of attempting assassinations ahead of its world cup and hacking everything from the n.h.s. to bricks joining me is what a senior british army intelligence officer philip ingram m.b.e. philip thanks for coming back on first of all straight through the naming by the spelling cat organization of an attempted assassin using our team information well yes i understand the culture using r.t. as one of their intelligence sources so well done for working for them but you know i think the blink of investigation is a fantastic piece of good journalism. managed to expose the real names of these two individuals i believe.
