Is the day. I guess i just heard that. Derek reside there i want to say that i regret that its really because i think he was a super good dude but hes a super diplomats the point you make in the British Ambassadors comments about the trumpet ministration Good Government depends on Public Servants being able to keep full and frank that finds is the trumpet ministration dysfunction will of course let the white house speak for the president s tweets and i dont think the state department has anything for them to say i think the reality was that in light of. The last few days his ability to be effective was probably limited so its probably the right course for this instance as everybody is agreeing on precedents but we will find a way through because we must. Also coming up tonight when threats and intimidation get in the way of the truth for journalists in mexico reporting the story often means putting their lives on the law yes that is going to be. My life was in danger that i knew theyd either kill me or let me go but id already seen our faces. Just get back there so i was sure they would kill me and at that. Point to our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome we begin the day with the ambassador who today resigned in resignation britains ambassador to the United States circum derek really had no choice but to call it quits his honest yet scathing assessment of President Trump delivered to london in secret cables was leaked earlier this week since then it has been nothing but diplomatic paralysis for the ambassador insults replacing invitations being ignored instead of being acknowledged and this between 2 of the worlds closest allies well tonight there are no leads into the source of the leak and the u. K. Government today said that it regretted the ambassadors decision mr speaker this morning i have spoken to sit him down i have told him that it is a matter of great regret that he has felt it necessary to leave his position on. Government depends on public sentiment being able to give full and frank advice i want all our Public Servants to have the confidence to be able to do that and i have house will reflect on the importance of defending our founders and principles particularly when they are under pressure. Of firm support for the outgoing ambassador coming right there from the british Prime Minister now that stark contrast to what has been offered by the man expected to be the next Prime Minister later this month Boris Johnson has been criticized for not standing up for derek during a Television Debate last night some even accusing him of throwing the u. K. Ambassador under the bus well today johnson was singing his praises calling him a superb diplomat and talking tough about tracking down debt in. Whoever leaked his deep shit really has done a great disservice to our Civil Servants to people who give impartial advice to ministers and i hope that we have a hes a hes a run down cool to me and you disgrace it quite frankly yes i dont know what. They were in the country but i think that i might use it wrong to drag Civil Servants into the into the political arena right now he did not give his backing during that televised debate so we have a diplomatic crisis between the u. K. And the u. S. And in london there is a full blown crisis of confidence within the countrys Diplomatic Service our correspondent here good moss has more now from the british capital this diplomatic controversy comes i did fairly difficult time for the u. K. Just when the country is about to cut its ties with the e. U. And will need to rely on its other close partners in order to make bricks it worth while the country needs to come up with advantages for leaving and a trade deal with the u. S. Could be such an advantage its also a huge blow for tourism a past nearly who was just one month ago rolled out the red carpet for donald trump and granted him a bombastic state visit it will be up to a successor most likely post johnson to find the right tone with a u. S. President surely he doesnt want to go down in history as Donald Trumps patsy i was did use very good last there for the u. K. Ambassador found himself in the span of just a couple of days to be persona non grata in washington at the center of a diplomatic row unprecedented in modern British American relations the u. K. s Foreign Relations committee met today and this is what the head of britains vast diplomatic corps said do you know any of the. Occasion on which a the head of state friendly government has refused to cooperate. With any of her majesty said it was. Not youve never heard of this happening before. I have been in the Foreign Office for nearly 37 year and this is the 1st time in money this is one of the diplomatic rules that a receiving state has the right to refuse. The nominee of the sending states has it ever happened to the United States. On the last time i know that we have difficulty with the United States was 856. 1856 ladies and gentleman all right lets get the view from washington in 2019 to do that mike or my colleague and correspondent Helen Humphrey is on the story for us tonight good evening to you helena so this special relationship between the u. K. And the United States is it now a special relationship that desperately needs special care. Well make no mistake friends i think this is a very sad day for the special relationship many both i think here in the United States in the u. K. Feel that came was forced out of his job essentially for doing his job it is the ambassadors jussi of course to provide franken on the vondish portraits of the leadership in their host country the good the bad and the ugly all the while keeping those courtier relationships with the administration you know being a diplomat as he did do we understand kim had a very high level toys with the trumpet administration he was certainly a very energetic bassett and now of course we are seeing this and i think its fair to say that this is symptomatic of turmoil both within the u. S. And of course within the u. K. As they desperately look for a trade deal as britain prepares to leave the European Union the head of the u. K. s Diplomatic Service today. A list of reasons for the ambassadors resignation take a listen to what he said. Warmly is the pressure on his family. Who have been living every minute with him and he did not want to put them through possibly months small it was his judgment that for as long as he remained in washington he would be a target and his family with him. And 2nd the impact on the rest of the embassy in washington on their ability to work. How they can you believe yours here we are talking about the British Ambassador in the u. S. Capital washington d. C. Being worried that his family could be impacted detrimentally by his job. Naturally bret that is an awful assessment for any member of any diplomatic corps i think working in the United States what i would say though is remember that britain also has some of the most famous or infamous spin doctors in the world as well and now the British Government has to be seen as coming out and shaping this narrative so as not to lose face to make it clear that it was kims decision that he left of his own volition and that he was not well tacitly recalled for example by the british Prime Minister which would be you know a great embarrassment i would say to the British Government of course the special relationship is always very closely scrutinized you only have to think of the Prime Ministership of tony blair for example under the Bush Administration and the iraq war and you know characterizations that all being a lapdog so that is something is being very keenly scrutinized right now and a lot of this comes down of course to who the next boss is it will actually be itll be a very tough pick a very tricky one a key one and of course it wouldnt be a good look if it was seen to be sycophantic ambassador for example in a relationship which has long been and indeed is meant to be conducted on an eye to eye level we are 2 minutes here want to get these 2 questions in to you in 2016 president elect truong said publicly that he would like to see the books its your boss nigel raj in d. C. As the u. K. s ambassador there was unprecedented do you think poisoned the well was far as ambassador was concerned all the way back in 2060. Right and what we should say of course is that kim was already on bassett during 2015 so he already had a bit of a harbinger of things to come today a tweet from farage saying that it is time for a break here ambassador to be installed that said that is not how diplomatic and appointments actually work in the u. K. Of course and theyre not political appointments. Just a personal note you or british youre there in the u. S. Reporting from the United States talk to me about to help this diplomatic disaster. Hit you when you got the news. Right well i will say this yesterday i said to you brant that its important to look beyond the bluster and the consequences today in washington d. C. We woke up to some very real and serious consequences which have certainly shaken the diplomatic core here but this is a diplomatic and political city and i think its important to look beyond the privilege and check our own privilege and look to those who are being targeted who do not have the same privilege who may be marginalized for example whether that be the rollback or transgender rights under this administration migrant families the policy of separation at the Border Detention Centers and so on so i think its important to keep you know i can he sieve and view when were analyzing this and i certainly agree hold the hope for him the story for tonights washington tell him as always thank you. Well tonight concerns yet again about the help the german chancellor for a 3rd time in less than a month was seen today suffering from a shaking spell and today it was during an outside reception with military honors for the finnish Prime Minister chancellor merkel standing with clenched fists apparently trying to control the trembling see it right there. Americal attended a press conference as planned about an hour were after that video was made and she told journalists that her health is no cause for concern. Time fine i said recently that ive been dealing with this since the last military honors with president s in n. C. This is obviously not completed but i make progress and i would have to live with this for a while but i feel very good and has no need to worry about me. And we need to say that the media here in germany theyve largely refrained from speculating about merkels medical condition if she has one but after the 3rd bout of shaking questions about her health are quickly becoming a matter of national and global importance more questions being posed publicly now about the possible consequences for merkels leadership. The 1st global conference for Media Freedom has begun in london its part of an International Campaign to highlight the importance of a Free Press Reporters without borders has described last year as the deadliest on record for journalists with 99 reporters killed among the most dangerous countries are afghanistan where 15 reporters were killed just doing their job last year serious all 11 killed in 2018 and mexico is the deadliest place to be a journalist outside of a conflict zone 10 reporters lost their lives there last year were d. W. Has been to mexico to meet a journalist who risks her life every time she steps out the door to go to work. Yes. I got a call a desperate voicing we found bodies again the reporter knows the woman who called her she belongs to a group of mothers looking for their missing children now its become a search for bodies. Records life that we want all the more hello when one was a leos with the searches of. This they were told that there might be secret mass graves here they have discovered one little piece we have these womens loved ones have disappeared here we can see the bones are wessels playmobil said about was most likely all the money has been reporting on the searching mothers for years and the vast majority of cases it turns out that their children were abducted and killed by the sinhala drug cartel. By covering the story to put herself in jeopardy she regularly receives death threats. A few years ago the threats almost became reality. Was kidnapped i yes i was going to be almost my life was in danger i knew theyd either kill me or let me go but i had already seen our faces. Lets get back to so i was sure they would kill me and about that you know that you know one of them said it was time to make this just year. Old girl me but it wont matter one asked me if i had a last wish. There would be more there so i said god bless you. For joining the care and turning my daughters into orphans because theyre in the gussies i was there in the us and let god like your password for and may you be well get they will mean look i mean rick i asked him for a boy real. Words moved the kidnappers to let her go. To c. S. S. And i mean once youre on the cartels list they can kill you at any time with or without a bodyguard. Just a few days later a colleague of hers was kidnapped she knew him and had researched the drug scene with him as well 2 weeks later his body was found in black plastic bags. Stanley is constantly aware of the danger she faces every day. Her sister loud and daughter always worried about her oh isnt. That im sad because i know that something happened to her that im. Its only because i know that shes not safe when shes working to grow up you. Still see both a very proud of. Yes in but ill go shes always given 100 percent and 100 percent extra from the. Proof right there of how dangerous it can be to be a reporter in search of the truth my next guest tonight is money well along the regional director for latin america at Reporters Without Borders he joins me from Rio De Janeiro a man was good to have you on the program tell me what is behind this growing number of murdered journalists in mexico. I run take far who made me. As you as you said. Missy who is indeed one of the worlds deadliest countries for the for the media. In 2019 at least 7 journalists were killed. Because there are exposing stories of where our. Problems too to some of origins are really not rips. Makes it we seem king and deeper into a spiral of violence and in shooty and journalists there uncover a city of political stories are organized crime are. Threatened and often get down called luck. Some and some others are after sheer brood the only way for them to ensure their survival and another are dictated and never seen again so. Its very complicated at the local level to do reports and to to walk the journalists and i would say that the. Art of the problem is the corruption and impunity of. The justice doesnt do what you should do so this is a vicious circle and now what we do have is a rebuttal of what the owners is denouncing diseases isnt unity which which explains quite interesting remember let me just ask you about this earlier tonight i spoke with unavailing nanda shes a mexican investigative journalist shoes trying to expose the connections between politicians and the drug cartels listen to how she described the dangers of being a reporter in mexico. It is difficult this edition in mexico because almost all the fish else almost all the members of their tiny genelle all these other they are believed are the army in one way or are no theyre worse for the carcass so you have these wire between that got us where the people innocent people or journalists have to work every day between these 2 forces that got us and the group the government trying to do to survive so what do you advise mexican journalists do to protect themselves in an environment like this. Well this is a kind of a paradox but in mexico. You are fit more mccain is more protection for journalists. We each. Last confidence from the journalist because of the corruption so you get is or is providing some security measures for journalists in nature but even if it is resources and whats missing too is a real political will. To just trentons im going to talking about Human Resources and financial sources that is a reason a mechanism of protection and journalists should talk with a mechanism thats what we do we try to do the imagery between the journalists and the mechanism because it can have an exam was also a special Prosecutors Office for crimes in Germany School for adley which is investigating cases of crime to get john is that this family. For lack of resources and for and because of the direction of corruption that exists all of the last 8 years not doing its proper job and as a to lose a lot of impunity. To 99 process of trying to be so this year that significant i think its a good point to bring up and you know put on a bill she is not even in mexico at the moment because she fears for her safety there and she has name recognition and popularity in her favor or maybe against her how vulnerable are less certain known local journalists in mexico. Well i would say that the general is a secure more from situation of violence and impunity are another very famous journalist and the local level in some of the most violent stace like for example direct troops are in the low art and olivares in the states the most indebted ritualists are not very famous or just covering the local news the local political news are crime and ugly crime used and other exposed to straights and to into 2 murders. Talking about the visual journalists of mystical district for example away from simply cases such as and if they are and some others yes they are one of the most and i think the real problem close from the local local level well theres a connection between a political an organization grandmothers and rummys is very strong in colombia were going to have to reparative there unfortunately were out of time we appreciate your insights tonight thank you welcome.

An incredible job of taking now on our shoulders and understanding the position that we have in the platform that we have in this world yes we play sports yes we play soccer yes were female athletes were so much more than. Statements like that one of a large part of the reason that rypien 0 has become such an icon for her adoring fans. I honestly i would rate not in the mouth after she came out.
