Keep full and frank that finds the trumpet ministration dysfunction will of course let the white house speak for the president s tweets and i think the state department has anything for them to say i think the reality was that in light of. The last few days theres a bill to be effective was probably wouldnt so its probably the right course this is as everybody is agreeing on precedence 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. That is. Almost my life was in danger that i knew theyd either kill me or let me go but i had already seen our faces. So i was sure they would kill me and not that. 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 a. Good 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 a house will reflect on the importance of defending our founders and principles particularly when they are under pressure. Oh 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 that leaker. Whoever leaked his departure really has done a great disservice to our students i think its to people who give impartial advice to ministers and i hope that we have a good user is run down cool to meet and to this great white bread beside us night what. They will the country what i will miss if 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 there good moss has more now from the british capital this diplomatic controversy comes i did ferry 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 us 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 telling with a us president surely he doesnt want to go down in history as Donald Trumps patsy i was did use big must 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 of any of. A case in which a the head of state friendly government has refused to cooperate. With any of her majestys envoys. Not youve never heard of this i mean. I have been in the Foreign Office for nearly 37 year and this is the 1st time in my so this is one of the diplomatic rules that are receiving state has the right to refuse. The nominee of the sending state 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 that sir kim had a very high level toys with the Trump 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 with 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. Well we can you believe viewers here were 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 brant 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 day 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 a sycophantic ambassador for example in a relationship which has long been and indeed is meant to be conducted on an eye to eye level 2 minutes here want to get these 2 questions to you in 2016 president elect trump said publicly that he would like to see the books its your boss nigel suraj in d. C. As the u. K. Ambassador there was unprecedented do you think poisoned the well was for as ambassador was concerned all the way back in 26. 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 as a tear ambassador to be installed that said that is not how a diplomatic 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 1 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 rolling back or transgender rights under this administration migrant families the policy of separation at the Border Detention Centers and so on and so i think its important to keep you know i can he say if and view when were analyzing this and i certainly agree with the whole preamble story for tonights washington element 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 sis apparently trying to control the trembling see it right there. Americal attended the 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 and inskeep this is obviously not completed but ive made progress and i would have to live with this for a while but i feel very good and theres no need to worry about me making them and we need to say that the media here in germany they largely refrain from speculating about merkels medical condition if she has one but after this 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. Or did you has been to mexico to meet a journalist who risks her life every time she steps out the door to go to work to do a scene i got a call a desperate voice saying 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 will see as 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 what was most likely. Those women elect to see not potter has been reporting on the searching mothers for years and the vast majority of cases it turns out that the children were abducted and killed by the tsunami watch a cartel. Hit 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. Almost my life was in danger i knew theyd either kill me or let me go but i had already seen their faces. Get back there so i was sure they would kill me or know that one of them said it was time i made this gesture. Dont ever want number one asked me if i had a last wish. There would be more than. God bless you. My daughters and 2 orphans was there in the. Service there in the us and let god like your path and may you be well get they will read the book i mean like i asked him for a boy really. Words move to kidnappers they let her go. See yes and i mean once youre on the cartels list they can kill you at any time with or without a bodyguard as cortez 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. To Siena Stanley is constantly aware of the danger she faces every day. Her sister allowed to choose a name i always worried about her isnt. That. Im sad because i know that something can happen to her. If it is over because i know that shes not safe when shes working to grow up you. Still see both are very proud of. Yesin but ill go shes always given 100 percent and 100 percent extra. For the dangerous it can be to be a reporter in search of the truth my next guest tonight is money will be a regional director for what an america at Reporters Without Borders he joins me from Rio De Janeiro and then was good to have you on the program tell me what is behind this growing number of murdered journalists in mexico. Iran takes far too much to me. As you as you said. Mysie 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 about where our. Problems to to some of origins are are really not rips. Makes it we seem king and deeper into a spiral of violence and ingenuity and journalists there in congress Institute Political stories are organized crime are. Threatened and often get down called luck. Some some others are after sheer brood its the only way for them to ensure their survival and another abducted 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 is of impunity of trying to get 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 isnt unity which which explains why diminishing emanuel 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 attorney general all these other had their believes or the army in one way or are know their works for the carcass so you have these wire between the contests 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 jewellers 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 to just trentons and were going to talking about Human Resources and financial sources theres a reason a mechanism of protection and journalists should talk with the mechanisms that what we do we try to do the imagery between the journalists and the mechanism because it can help and i was also a special Prosecutors Office for crimes in Germany School 3 adli we shes been investigating cases of trying to get journalists beds this family. For lack of resources and for and because of the gresham of corruption that exists all of the last 8 years not doing its proper job and as a to lose a lot of impunity easy. To 99. 00 process of trying to be so this year that significant its a good point you 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 in impunity are another if it was journalism a local level in some of the most violent stace like for example direct troops are seen a lower than olivares in the states the most ended ritualists are not very same instead of just covering the local news the local political news are crime and ugly crime used and other exposed to straights and into into 2 rivers. Talking about the Civil Service of all journalists of micks a coup district for example away from some similarly 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 is a connection between the political end of it is a crime is very strong in colombia were going to have to wrap it up there fortunately were out of time we appreciate your insights tonight thank you welcome. Or they were held today as the syrup of american soccer the u. S. Womens soccer team enjoyed a new york city ticker tape parade as the city and the country celebrated the teams 4th world cup victory the u. S.

A heroines welcome for the champions of the world after the historic title defense in a moment that was always going to be about more than just football. As evidenced by trump 2020 flags hanging above the crowd the larger part of which was here to dote on that darling Megan Rapinoe who have tussled with the president in recent weeks. Its our responsibility to make this world a better place i think this team does. An incredible job of taking that 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 a female athletes are 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 break my dinner out after she came out and she would and she made a statement not just with her words but with her son just really i think she was a great representative of. Peanos refusal to meet President Trump and the teams on going fight for parity prize money with the american mens squad have won her and her teammates plenty of admirers many hope that this team can provide an inspiration for the next generation we are so proud of this u.
