percent gentle balance in senior management i spoke to china director of human rights watch sophie richardson alston if the report cherry picks the bad examples ignoring the progress made i think even one is to manage and it's probably safe to say that it was not hard for us to multiple versions of these ads from each of those companies over the span of about five years but equally problematic our government's own civil service job listings and we noted that in twenty seventeen about thirteen percent of those had. stipulated a preference or requirement for men online and in twenty eight thousand that actually went up to nineteen percent so almost one in every five government job that said it was for men only is but bond you for example one of the companies that you cite says that almost harvard senior mid-level managers are women so the progress although those ads that were mentioned terrible the progress also needs to be emphasized. yet amazing how many of these companies have offered that up as some sort of credible explanation or justification for engaging in other just growing that's alre

bill richardson is not alone in his disenchantment with the burmese leader. this man spent 11 years in prison for criticising the military. he is not afraid to criticise now. she is a very difficult person to work with. we thought bringing bill richardson on board would help because they are personal friends. board would help because they are personalfriends. bill richardson had helped her in those days when she was under house arrest. for things to turn out this way i think is very dismal and also very disappointing. but the other members of the advisory board are continuing their work, arguing that it is too $0011 their work, arguing that it is too soon tojudge the their work, arguing that it is too soon to judge the myanmar government's efforts to fix the rakhine state conflict. government's efforts to fix the rakhine state conflictlj government's efforts to fix the rakhine state conflict. i think bill richardson was a little bit in a hurry to make that statement. i think it is unfair. and like the statement says, it is not a legitimate statement by him. a

governor from new mexico bill richardson richardson was part of an international advisory panel on the range of crisis but no more than he had some pretty scathing criticism for the panel and she herself will start with this report from me on a hand. he's one of america's most experienced diplomats a former u.s. politician and reportedly a friend ivanka suchi but bill richardson sudden departure from an advisory panel on the range of crisis shows just how much that relationship may have soured i don't want to be part of a whitewash. and i felt as best that i resign immediately richardson said he didn't want to be a part of what he described as a cheerleading operation for suchi aimed at validating hiromi range of policies rather than honesty investigation the actions of me and miles military richardson was an international heavyweight on the team member panel chosen he says by suchi herself the u.n. estimates more than six hundred eighty thousand range of muslims fled a military crackdown from late august last year survivor spoke of atrocities including mess murder rape entire villages

admiral richardson? >> senator inhofe and ranking member reid and distinguished members of the committee, thank you for the opportunity to testify today to discuss our navy. and i'm honored to be here with secretary spencer and general neller, two great leaders with whom i'm working to increase the war-fighting lethality and readiness of our navy marine corps team. that navy marine corps team is the nation's response force. and a strong and responsive navy matters to america's security and economic prosperity now more than ever. as our national defense strategy makes clear, more naval power is essential in a new era of great power competition. with the rising china and resurgent russia, america no longer can enjoy a monopoly sea power or sea control. meanwhile, regimes like north korea and iran threaten global stability. given these challenges, it's absolutely critical that we increase american naval power with a sense of urgency, just as secretary spencer said. every day we must iran our place as the wo

bill richardson: it is different. it's the first time presidents have gotten together on important issues relating to the very sour u.s.-north korea relationship over the years. in the past, it's been from the bottom up. we are talking about the most important issue facing the international community. the korean peninsula, missiles threatening the united states, korea north korea south battles. it's most different because we have two leaders that are very similar. theyare unpredictable, don't go by the norms of traditional foreign policy. it should be a very interesting summit that has wide repercussions throughout the world. vonnie: what would be considered a success? the north koreans aren't going to just given to all the u.s. the man's. in to all the u.s. demands. bill richardson: first, nuclear free korean peninsula. secondly, phased unique lori's asian -- phased denuclearization. the north koreans are not going to totally denuclearize. dismantling of their 60 nuclear weapons, ensuring their missile tests, the ame

richardson has held multiple top-level positions as acc net secretary, u.n. ambassador, governor of new mexico, and tireless human rights campaigner. he told me why he's in despair about the crisis in myanmar. governor richardson, welcome from new mexico. >> thank you. >> can i ask you first to put this into context? i mean, america was the sort of shining bastion of light, calling for democracy and supporting aung san suu kyi in myanmar. why is this important, this crisis, for americans to understand and to grapple with? >> well because, first of all, we're talking about potentially one million refugees being raped, killed, mistreated. america's always had a humanitarian streak. secondly, you mentioned it -- aung san suu kyi was support by democratic, republican presid t presidents, the congress, as they moved in a transition from a dictatorship to a democracy. lastly, this is a geopolitical issue, too. not as much as north korea, but there's concern about chinese influence in the region that because of the crisis that myanmar, bangladesh, that region not go

admiral richardson will discuss the combat ship. deployed in 2018. 11 lcs ships delivered to the navy as of today but will have none deploy. two days ago, admiral merts testified, quote, the typical deployment model, 3 to 5 ships to one to keep them deployed so this is really just math. there will be gaps that fill in over time and we're not concerned about that, end quote. but september, 8 months ago, the commander of naval service forces in the pacific fleet said you can maintain 3 to 4 combat ships deployed when you take on the blue gold crew system. what is the answer here to the actual deployment ratio? >> i'll tell you. as you know, the combat ship has been a program that has been through some troubled times. and i would say in the past, we probably pushed that ship out forward a little bit ahead of its time before the system, the program had stabilized and we had done the appropriate testing and gained the confidence. as soon as i got in as the chief of naval operations, i directed the naval service forces to take a look at t

diplomat bill richardson has stepped down from the advisory panel to set up a deal with the refugee crisis he was handpicked by the civilian leadership often in ma to self on the committee but bridget's and said he feared the panel was becoming a whitewash and a cheerleading operation for me and mas leader aung san suu kyi have a listen she believes there's a concerted international effort against me amar and i believe she is wrong blames all the problems that we have mars having on the international media on the one hand on human rights groups. on other governments and i think this is caused by a bubble that is around or by individuals that are not giving her frank advice. and for more on the story let me join journalist david greene obama joins me from young gone in a me and ma now did very strong comments from richardson that one of the indicated how did unsung suchi react to them. yeah you know i spoke earlier today with aung san suu kyi spokesman he said they are very side about the resignation of bill richardson but he said that they were just and did not understand the advice the ma

diplomat has quit an international panel dealing with the ribbon or refugee crisis bill richardson said he feared the panel would whitewash the role of mia mars government and he criticized what he called an absence of leadership by me and my leader and sons who cheat her office said richardson had been terminated for having his own agenda. on meanwhile a top u.n. official has warned against me and maurice plas to repatriate the nearly seven hundred thousand ranger refugees living currently in bangladesh unicef a director just in the four sites that says it's still not safe for them to return home and that members of mia mars' military are still attacking were injured villages but me and mara says it wants to begin bringing their work and access. for those traumatized by ethnic violence this may prove a forbidding prospect it's one of the holding camps myanmar is building just across its border with bangladesh the site will serve as a reception area for returning ranger refugees before they're sent to camps in other parts of wreck and state. the bangladesh side will send back the forms

richardson joins us now from washington now correspondent there can you explain what trump strategy is in all of this because so many experts say is tariffs won't work and they'll even backfire. and that's why many economists are saying that this could really hurt american companies that it could disrupt hiring that it could decrease the demand for u.s. exports and of course that's not to mention that the price hikes that we could see for american consumers if manufacturers end up passing along those costs but in many ways this is very much in line with the trumps hard line trade policy it's an issue where he's actually been very consistent since even before he was elected to be the u.s. president and he's railed against beijing for intellectual property theft barriers to entry for u.s. for u.s. companies and of course the three hundred seventy five billion dollars trade deficit with china and while many would agree that the first two are big problems and that perhaps past administrations have not done enough to address them there's a lot of pushback about this idea that tariffs are th

governor richardson was at the white house through much of that turmoil. so what do you think of these comparisons being made today to bill clinton? >> i was there during the impeachment. i was his energy secretary. president clinton left office with a 60% approval rating, which was huge. on the stormy daniels issue, it's not good for the country. voters will vote on their own economic situation, on healthcare, on, you know, immigration, on national security, on north korea. you know, these scandals, they have some legs, but they don't have a finite decision-making process in the voter's mind. >> what you're saying, too, for clinton, his highest approval ratings were during impeachment. we saw on another network yesterday, they had a group of president trump supporters that does this matter to you? it's not that the issues can't matter to you in a personal sense. but would you voted on these issues is how i think the question was being asked. the answer was yeah, this doesn't matter within that realm. so you're giving another example of what voters will be

from keeping us guessing they're clear richardson in washington and new york thank you very much both of you for the analysis. british prime minister of the reason may reached a breakthrough in her breakfast strategy after a meeting with senior ministers at her country residents may finally agreed britain's position on what she calls a u.k. e.u. free trade area the proposal could be a relief for british companies many of which have recently expressed concern due to britain's uncertain future big and small companies alike are worried including a manufacturer of black caps for london. it's a classic british icon the blackcap but the company behind this innovative electric powered taxi is joining the fleet of comic is concerned by brick says during a visit to berlin the chairman of the london evie company pay to foster said mistakes over breaks it could start an erosion. this is. it is a process that will take ten to fifteen years but it would be madness to wake up in the morning in london and read in the papers that there's no car industry in britain it would be a real shame. his concer

richardson in washington thank you very much. well the escalating international trade dispute made itself felt on the markets on friday the looming trade will between the u.s. and china and europe is certainly making invest this global share markets are under pressure even the dow jones lurching into negative territory and croft build a boeing was among the heaviest news's traders were reacting to their belief that aircraft and agricultural produce would be on the list of retaliatory chinese sanctions and covering the fallout on wall street is a financial correspondent yens court against what are you hearing there on the floor. well the first round of for you of terrorists on imports from china will kick in on july as six and we will start was the amount of thirty five billion dollars and then china declared friday afternoon that they will retaliate they will also start imposing a tariff on u.s. imports also on july sixth also in the amount of thirty five billion dollars and we will see tariffs on a you as an agricultural seafood

let's speak to sophie richardson she's the china director of human rights watch and joins us from washington heights sophie thanks for being on our program how long have these camps been in existence and how prevalent are they. we've been documenting them for about a year now and last fall the reports are trickling in slowly and we had hoped that it would just be an isolated phenomenon but as the past twelve months have worn on we've been able to show that the camps are spreading that different kinds of facilities are being used to detain people and that in fact some scholars and journalists to do a brilliant job going through government tenders in the region to document constructing new facilities in which to detain people it really does seem that this is beijing's new normal. but if you look at beijing's perspective perspective they say that your organization human rights watch is full of prejudice against the chinese government and that these reeducation camps are only mildly corrective centers to be radicalized weekers after a spike in violence specially in two thousand and thirteen and

i think the other services and admiral richardson spoke to the same thing. we will comply with that exercise and we will use the exercise as an experiment. whether it be autonomous ships or drones under the water to find mines or pathways or destroy mines unmanned aircraft provide radio relay electronic warfare or isr. all those things are going on and we realize we need to go faster. as was mentioned about the development technology in the commercial world we all have sponsors in silicon valley who maintain contacts through the dlx but there's also one in boston developed by secretary carter. we have are cognizant of what's out there so we know what's happening and we look at these different technologies and we take a chance and we make a bunch of small bets and if any of it works we look at the marines and they say this is good and then we will try to figure out how we will put money down on it and further develop it. >> thank you general. appreciate it. >> senator sewell then. >> thank you very much. very much appreciate your fine leadership as demonstrat

should have been done for many many years are going to go now to washington our correspondent claire richardson is on the story for us tonight good evening to you claire so we know president trump is already and i so iran steel tariffs on many countries including china so why are we seeing the u.s. now seems willing out beijing for further penalties well it's a fairly wide held a view among business leaders here in the u.s. that something needs to be done about unfair trading practices by china and how it's flooding the market with steel and aluminum but the reason we're seeing these tariffs come into place now is because the u.s. just wrapped up an investigation that says that it says shows the chinese state used hackers to steal business secrets and gave american companies unfair positions in the chinese market so what's so controversial about these tariffs is that they're sweeping and they could provoke retaliatory measures from china and ultimately result in a trade war between the world's two largest economies i mean that is the big worry tonight a sigh of relief maybe for the european uni

kathleen richardson is a researcher in rome. epix at the university of leicester she's launched a campaign against sex robots in the hope of stopping their developments. they don't give a sense of people feeling connected or being in a relationship they're just objects that have become automated so even if you've got this moving dong sitting next to you you're actually by yourself and so these people are promoting a technology. that is going to increase human isolation if it if it takes off it's just going to create more and more people sitting alone being alone with a dog. what is certain is that the robots are coming and they'll be capable of far more than just the missionary position which it will intelligent robots really sought and offer us companionship and conversation. just about any subject that if you want to have a conversation with a robot in a few years time the robot will have to talk to you about open about the beatles about jazz about anything you want to talk about sophia is a highly advanced version of a humano

bill richardson is a former department of energy secretary. he's especially welcome on this occasion. governor richardson, first of all, i understand you spoke to secretary pompeo ahead of this summit, can you say what if any advice you gave him? >> well, the advice i gave hs - respectfully, i had not gotten any calls in the administration, but he did call. and i commend him for that. i've had a little experience. he basically said, what parameters i thought the north koreans were going to be ready to negotiate. i said, they're not going to fully denuclearize, but i think you can get some good agreements on dismantling missiles. you can do something on human rights. he also asked a little bit about kim jong-un. i said, well, i haven't met him, but i think what you want to do the president and possibly yourself, take him aside, build some trust, get to know each other. and i said to him, you have to pin him down. the north koreans never say yes. they never say no either. they keep you strung along. and it's clear that you have to have time line

diplomat bill richardson calls me an ass lead up powerless and afraid of the bill a free hand. china's ban on ivory forces craftsman to find new ways to use their skills. against those stories in just a moment but first some breaking news out of afghanistan there's been an explosion in the capital kabul that happened close to the old interior ministry and several embassies these are the latest pictures from the area we understand that been several casualties it comes just a week after an attack on the intercontinental hotel in the city lived out of kabul and al-jazeera isabella shah who. what more can you tell us. they're doing it was nonstop here in kabul and the really big calm day a sunny day but. that the city was jolted with with a heavy explosion we could feel that the doors were slammed here we were like kilometers away from this explosion site now we spoke to some police sources there that they're telling us that they explosion happened on the road to the old into did ministry a building now there are two checkpoints heavy guarded checkpoints now the secure the police s

our washington correspondent claire richardson says the drums trade policies are likely to go down well with many americans at least until other countries start hitting back. the tariffs on aluminum and steel for example are very popular among labor unions and in the rust belt states where steel workers are hoping that they'll see this measure protect their jobs and in many ways and this is trump's effort to make good on his campaign promise that he's going to get tough on china that he's going to save american jobs but it could be devastating for u.s. consumers and some economists think that it's actually going to cost jobs for people who are employed in the steel and aluminum industries and as for the tariffs on china we've already seen threats of retaliatory measures that are meant to hit us industries like agriculture and punish states that trans going to need to win re-election so we'll see just how popular they are once china makes its next move that was our correspondent there richardson speaking to be earlier from washington where you leaders digested donald trump's latest trade

further tariffs against china you see the podium there at the white house so let's go over to claire richardson who's standing by for us with the latest from washington and clare we just heard that you know this announcement today is targeted against china but at the same time we've had news that the european union is getting an exemption tell us a little bit more about that. all right well to clarify the u.s. trade representative said today that the e.u. along with several other countries will be initially exempt from these tariffs that means temporary relief when the tariffs take place tomorrow and of course we're still waiting to hear the president confirm that himself and it's important to note that this is just a pause on the tariffs as negotiations take place that will still be a big relief for the e.u. as it's been scrambling to try and get this exemption in place before the tariffs take effect. and they'll be happy to hear that it sounds like they will at least have some reprieve while talks are underway and claire as stephen was mentioning a short while ago you know when we talk about

diplomats bill richardson has accused me and mark of trying to whitewash the crisis he resigned from an advisory panel sparking a rift with cheese government scott hyde has more from young gone. if you listen to government leaders in myanmar this week was supposed to see a trickle of britons are refugees returning to these new repatriation centers in rakhine state they said from tuesday the centers were open and ready to receive but the other country in this equation bangladesh said incomplete paperwork for the refugees is causing a delay no word on just how long some human rights groups think it's much more than paperwork the fundamental problem is that all these operations and set up these plans and. these negotiations have been done leaving the refugees outside the door and they haven't been consulted they haven't been talked to and many of the refugees are simply too afraid to go back anywhere near the burmese military also this week the launch of a new commission to follow up from a group headed by former u.n. secretary general kofi anon it's members both from myanmar and abroad

well i'm joined now by our correspondent in washington clare richardson good evening to you claire so we know that kim jong un spent four days in china that is a long time plenty of time for talks and we also understand that the u.s. president's double trouble he was informed about this meeting by the chinese president do we know exactly what the chinese president told mr trump about those talks. hi branch well trump says she told him that the meeting went well with him and the official reports we've seen coming out of both north korea and china seem to bear that out they downplayed any tensions to emphasize a good working relationship between the two countries now remember china has traditionally been a major ally for north korea but its more recent support for u.n. sanctions on pyongyang has really put a strain on their ties so the point of this meeting for china at least seems to be largely an effort to save face to try and present itself as a relevant player in any north korean talks after south korea and the u.s. have been the ones making headlines but this meeting with china als

if you follow me closely you know i just looked at the the anchor outs in richardson bay and all of the problems associated with some of them remember jimi macintosh who lives on a boat in richardson bay it's a bad situation, because a lot of them don't have black water tanks they gave no way of pumping them put so they will use them and in the middle of the night or early morning dump them over board and what's in these honey buckets? poo, urine your basic black water sewage the marin county sheriff office knows brian on a personal basis having some encounters with him until he left richardson bay because of fear for his personal safety due to death threats from other anchor outs so i staked out his boat hoping to get brians side of the story, and while i was looking for him. well he was watching me the whole time from the maritime museum this is my only chance i get a chance to talk to you, i'm sorry that your job is limited like that it's a shame a good story is worth waiting for so remember the 5000 dollar number i tossed in the air well that is reason why the boat which has bee

did i miss claire richardson is here with us in studio to analyze this address hi claire along the sweeping speech what stood out to you the big question going into this was is donald trump going to stay on script is he going to be a twitter president or a teleprompter president and for the most part he delivered a fairly sober address usually the state of the union is a fairly rare opportunity to get some insight into what the president of the united states is thinking what his plans are for the future of the country in the coming year with donald trump we know what he's thinking in real time because we can see his reactions on twitter so in this case we saw some things that we expected to see we saw him promote the strength of the united states economy we saw him tout the new republican tax plan that was passed at the end of last year but there are some parts that observers had expected to see that were conspicuously missing from this speech one area where he didn't go into great detail was on immigration which has been one of the most divisive issues in the last month particularly the fa

claire richardson is standing by now with the latest reaction from washington claire what was the statement by north korea that donald trump was referring to there. hi sarah this statement in question was from north korea was referring to u.s. president vice me u.s. vice president mike pence as ignorant and stupid and that was in response to some comments that he made over the weekend in which he said that kim jong un could face an end like the libya model if you refused to make a deal now it's worth unpacking what that means the libya model why that would be seen as something that would elicit such a response from north korea if you remember where gadhafi government in libya back in early two thousand agreed with the george w. bush administration to give up its nuclear program and then years later we saw during the arab spring uprisings that this leader was brutally murdered by his own people and nato backed rebels and so kim jong un and the north korean a regime are looking at the libya model as a matter of in terms of how it stands for their own political survival they see that if you gi
