Professor of Political Science at the university of the seizure that appeared to be part of a coordinated. Every few weeks we are seeing major provocations by the americans but theyre sending drones or warship towards iran and now this incident where the british are actually acting on behalf of the americans what gives the british the right to seize any iranian share based on european laws iran is not a member of the e. U. Since the government decided to leave the Nuclear Accord the americans have been pressuring iran putting significant pressure on iran and iran has actually been acting in a very relatively cautious manner in we have to understand that you want to not sure we strained forever and we knew such as this where you raining ships are being seized illegally they cannot it actually want you want to do nothing in return if you want does nothing in return then they will put more pressure and more pressure. On him or the news of the week from germany 3 men theyre charged in connection with the sexual abuse of more than 40 children the defendants confessing to nearly all the charges brought against them. The majority of the abuse was perpetrated by a single individual who lived at the camp hes accused of almost 300 sex crimes against 23 children over the years hes reportedly been leering his victims with trips to amusement parks and even used his foster child as bait well a pacer now accused of inaction over all this in the face of mounting evidence of abuse over so many years and the authorities are also blamed for letting evidence disappear back in february they admitted losing almost a terabyte of evidence in fact meantime one of the childrens representatives says the way the victims were questioned was inappropriate for their age and the authorities themselves acknowledge the there was a policing failure as they put it. They called the situation further a debacle the regions interior minister says this was worse than negligence though and should never happen again we spoke to the one of the victims lawyers about the mistakes that were made along the way. If you look we have seen numerous flaws the most terrifying is the disappearance of 155. 00 c. D. s from a secure Police Station were talking about the c. D. s which were found at the campsite in the main suspects trailer it turned out that the people with prior convictions for possession of child pornography were working at that Police Station and still are as for the interrogation of the children they were questioned at the Police Station but this is not what should have happened there are specific ways in which children can be questioned and it involves support from social services and the establishment of a trusting relationship it should not happen as an interviewer to Police Station that my opinion matters are allowed to escalate because of the callous approach to information on child pornography and paedophilia and the departments employees lack of awareness it is simply unacceptable for a department to react in this manner and then try to cover up its own negligence. International the global broadcast to cover up our flu break the new remake of the famous disney classic thats why its a worldwide debate after a black actress was cast in a leading role in just one of the stories when we come back. Backstabbers financial survival guide. Housing bubble. Oh you mean theres a downside to artificial mortgage truth dont get carried away thats cause report. We have to be expectation that when we lift people out of poverty when we became rich then wed become. And i think valleys what a lot of people ah struggling with now the expected that once they reached a certain level of income then they would be happy. And yet we create new size we create new things we want and i think sometimes we run out of explanations for why we feel unhappy. I get good warnings is out international so does each of them so that its remake of the childrens classic Little Mermaid will star black actress halle bailey in the lead role but big debate in the week. After an extensive search it was abundantly clear that halle possesses that rare combination of spirit heart youth innocence and substance plus a glorious singing voice all intrinsic qualities necessary to play this iconic role back in 1993 releases that have taishan of the famous fairy tale written by the daily show of hands Christian Andersen in that version ariel was a blue 1 eyed redhead white girl some argue that the new version should stay true than to the 1989 film but no others say having a black lead is a win for diverse. The actress cast is areal can sing act dance and is beautiful but racists yes that extreme irritation you feel is racism or like mermaids can be black wool crabs can talk so were all stretching here shut up fat box the Little Mermaid lives on a tropical coral reef with a calypso signal with a strong jamaican accent when you think about it its bizarre she was white the 1st time around there goes my favorite princess cant believe the just 3 my favorite princess she has a beautiful voice but if shes playing ariel im going to be she doesnt fit the look at all could you imagine the uproar of the cast a white actress to play tiana in a live action remake i just dont understand why is this necessary so our big is the 1st over this when we put it all up for debate here on r t in the week. Well that what people are trying to do is trying to bring people back to a certain kind of reality that we live in a very Diverse Society and to try and present as if you like to try and normalize birth because what happened before was that we had a society which those people were excluded or if they were presented they were presented as before they were prevented of course in the translation which was derogatory to them we bring race to the forefront and make it an issue when it really isnt an issue i think its a very dangerous precedent and i think it is think it really is not i think its really not about the inclusive idea that your other guest discussed discusses i think its really a leftist agenda to divide us and keep us from working together and i think the people who are over concerned about his presentation are trying to as they said they want something theyre used to but any challenge. Challenge is if you tell us why you think they think they think they should be like a princess can be black and what we want to do weird is not a lie not that so every every single hollywood movie made from now on must have a gay person a jewish person a black person hispanic person and all we probably better represent all that population so lets say a puerto rican person a cuban person and i dont know there are people here from from our other countries too should we should we just make sure now that every single movie has every single race religion color size Socio Economic level where do you draw the lying if you look at the history of hollywood birth of a nation it started off really badly with the original 1st feature film been a racist film which used skin color in a negative way of course they should be a good story line but also a film can do multi faceted things and i think we have to move beyond being obsessed by the fact that we live in a society that is proud to support diversity we do live in a society that does have problems around racism in American Society has that and i think that the people who are denying. That our people are not willing to begin to really talk about challenging it we had some be called dylan roof to walk into a blood shot of the body im sorry theres been a number of shootings in on the places these a tragic tragic things we had black president black billionaires all over the place all sorts of hispanic people and in positions of power i would hope that no one would not like this character based on that they might not like the idea of it being imposed they might feel that its a little bit racist to say oh well we have to have a princess be a certain color i dont think that makes them a racist i think that makes them somebody that just wants the best person for the job to be chosen whether its a movie or a corporate venture i think the best person should always be chosen regardless of their skin color or anything else this made headlines in the week to saudi arabias latest effort to look more liberal appears to be invited a Popular American hip hops again known for a provocative style to perform in the kingdom and thats absurd. Oh well if youre not is going to perform in saudi arabia. Imagine waking up from a 3 Year Congress and the 1st thing. Painting an m. T. V. Musical festival in saudi arabia i dont think i woke up in some parallel universe. Shes going to go and shake her all her songs are indecent about sex. And then you tell me to wear them by our white house hypocrisy while thousands of saudi women cant even get out to get their basic needs thanks to the saudi government the saudi government is bringing him in ash to show the rest of the world hey we are an open minded country. Was. The crown prince how much and still man has actually been trying to use kind of these stunts or these very superficial changes that are not organic to Saudi Arabian society at all or to what it means to be a woman in saudi arabia it is kind of a silly image to imagine that the women attending the nicki minaj concert are actually fully failed and wearing full length ropes society doesnt really buy it theyre not buying into this socalled attempt to modernize sort of society in this way i think that this basically includes relates the problem with the rule of the crown prince of example the Decision Mission of hypotheses somebody who has made absolutely. No real changes during the entire time that he has been really are as a staff who are slightly at the same time we all know about the ara scandalous questions youve asked your war on yemen all kinds of human rights abuses these are all continuing how my president is attempting to do these siri basic theory which are this gestures to kind of received in a few of them to their local audience. Mostly just some of the world used to respond this last 7 days around the world around us you will find so much more of course.

Engineer elections manufacture consent and other principles according to no on tone scale one set of rules for the rich offices. Thats what happens when you put her into the hands of a narrow sector of will which will is dedicated to increasing power for just as youd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america.
