And what you ought to International Live from of thinking it with me. Into the program. The exit polls arent looking good for israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu putting him behind a centrist rival benny gantz close a few hours ago in the unprecedented 2nd parliamentary election which is again turning out to be a very close run race across life now its a hell of beaver and all correspondent paula slate has been across this paula netanyahu has hopes of a wreck or 5th term seem to be fading if the polls are correct. Well it certainly seemed to be fading and let me mention that historically the polls are correct in israel we might see the numbers differ by a seat or 2 but essentially the Bigger Picture is likely to remain the same now its not clear at this stage of netanyahu is actually going to address his supporters tonight weve been told that he watched these exit poll. At home and that hes already on the phone trying to hash out a Coalition Government the problem is not the numbers that he nor his main rival benny gantz the former i. D. F. Chief who heads the blue and white center left party its not so much the number of seats they received but who is able to form a majority Coalition Government the way it works in israel is that you need a minimum of 61 out of 120 parliamentary seats to form a majority and then you are tossed with being the next government and there are now who is unlikely to be able to do this the exit polls put him far below reaching that 61 and so what we are hearing from particularly his critics in the blue and white party saying that the netanyahu is over that he forced these elections because he dissolved the parliament 6 months ago when we had the previous elections and again hes been unable to come forward as the foreigner and so essentially hes shown and this is what people are saying the israeli public that the magic if you want to call it that that he head in terms of being israels longest serving Prime Minister has dissolved i mean the whole lot 2nd round if its another close run results is it likely that we see a 3rd round of elections in due course. It is likely that this is the scenario that the israeli political elite and certainly the countrys president is trying to avoid the countrys president hoover and rivlin he is the one who will actually approach the leader who has the most number of votes and toss them 1st with seeing whether or not they can put together a majority Coalition Government not only rivlin did say that he was going to do Everything Possible to try and avoid a 3rd round actually suggesting that he would extend the deadline given to the Party Leaders to try and come together and form this Majority Coalition but we might have a scenario that simply there im able to do this there is a sense of voter apathy here simply talking to israelis a lot off the straighted that we even head to elections in 6 months and theres not going to be a lot of support in the country for another round of. A further 5 or 6 months from here its costing the country a lot of money and at the same time its yielding no new results yeah i mean if we look at the the attempt to forge a coalition one of them was with a big dog and that failed so although any other allies that netanyahu can turn to to redeem the situation for himself. Were not really he is approaching as i mentioned already now his traditional white partners its hugely unlikely that hes going to be able to form a coalition with parties on the left because most on yahoo has positioned himself and has historically had the most right wing government in israels history there is a 3rd scenario thats being put forward and this was actually just suggested a few minutes ago in a speech that every dollar lieberman who is the leader of the israel our Homeland Party put forward now he has doubled the number of seats to 10 seats that he won in the previous election back in april when he only gone at some 5 he was a king then and youll remember that he was that he refused to form that Coalition Government with netanyahu which is why weve seen elections now 6 months down the line in his speech he said that the only option now was for a government with netanyahu with the blue and white party whose leader is benny gantz and with lieberman this would be an interesting concept because of course you have this on yahoo not wanting to form a coalition with Lieberman Lieberman being in a position again that hes a kingpin and being able potentially to demond portfolios that are far out of his clout and give him a lot more strength than he should traditionally have with only 10 seats a big question mark over whether or not that kind of government can be put together if it can then that would answer your previous question and would seem a way to avoid a nother set of elections but at this stage its all speculation in the next few days and certainly the next few weeks are going to be all about politicking and Coalition Building and seeing which leader if any is able to provide. And a 3rd round of elections and form a majority Coalition Government theres a really interesting time isnt it for the country now if we look at donald trump and what hes been supporting or who hes been supporting if there is backing behind the current Prime Minister do you think thats had any effect at all. Well i certainly think its hoped in a tiny hour who you just need to look at his Election Campaign where hes used pictures of himself alongside trump and when i talk to israelis many of them believe that netanyahu is the best political leader this country has in terms of his clout and his standing in the International Arena what is interesting is that back in april just before the elections were held trump made that decision then that announcement that he was recognizing the israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights and thats in spite of International Law which suggests the opposite this time around he didnt make any dramatic statements before the elections which seems to suggest that hes much more involved in other issues for example iran and the like but certainly his backing behind netanyahu we did hear from trump earlier saying that these elections were going to be closely contested 1st and thats not exactly an understatement at serving what we have seen transpire so an important consideration but in the end it hasnt been enough to secure netanyahu that when he so desperately needs. Certainly has an r. T. S. Middle east correspondent paula slayer thanks for keeping across this. We heard from dmitri daily on the from the Palestinian Fatah Revolutionary Council he believes theres no longer a Center Ground in israeli politics. Well mr netanyahu in my eyes my assessment according to the exit polls he is most definitely defeated hes out because while he is counting on according to these polls 56 seats in this coalition and awaiting israel became. Party of 10 seaters to join him or not and in fact depending on him to form the government the natural thing for israel betaine to liebermans party to join against and pull through there to the right as a matter of fact actually there are no sir just 41 and theres lots of you now with his extreme far ideological right parties coalition and there is the right israeli right joined by very weak. Unimpressionable left wing parties but at the end of it there it would be. A good change for the region because nothing has proved to be an idealogue that is really ruling israel today based on 4000 year old text which is something totally taking the take in the. The political process into full frozen mode. Until racism is a touchstone topic for us democrat joe bidens push for the white house on sunday he gave an impassioned speech at a black church but a few days earlier during a president ial debate and pressed on segregation and the legacy of slavery he switched to lecture African Americans on how they should bring up the children caliper open explains how pilots being court time before in crossing a line from empathy to condescension. Joe biden formally the Vice President is now running in the democratic primary enjoys a huge amount of support from the africanamerican voters and he wants them to know he really cares about them what responsibility do you think that americans need to take to repair the legacy of slavery in our country make sure that we bring into the help to this to the teachers deal with the problems that come from home we bring social workers into homes and parents to help them deal with how to raise their children its not that they dont want to help they dont want they dont know quite what to do play the radio make sure the television the scrutiny make sure you have the record player on the phone make sure the kids hear words a kid coming from a very poor school or a very poor background who hear 4000000 words fewer spoken by the time they get there the record player now he seems a couple decades behind on modern technology but its also a tad bit condescending dont you think now some are calling it a parent shaming biden is a liberal racist why dems better start calling this out because black women are watching if joe biden isnt forced out of the running now i give up 1st he looks into the camera and laughs at the mention of racial inequality in us schools and we could racists that he describes black homelite and parenting in a way that is stunningly ignorant and insulting drew bidens son on how to address the literacy of slavery was appalling and to scorn now this isnt the 1st time that joe is flubbed an answer when it comes to a racial issue he made some remarks when barack obama was selected as the Democratic Party candidate in 2008 that he probably meant to sound like a compliment i mean you get the 1st mainstream africanamerican whos are to cool it and bright and clean and a nice looking guy joe bidens comments point to an increasing phenomenon in us society being referred to as liberal racism. Joe biden is not burning a cross or arguing that nonwhites are inferior but he does seem to have a touch of a white savior complex he comes across as condescending to those he thinks hes helping a study refers to it as a competence downshift and joe biden is not the only one what liberals may unwittingly draw negative stereotypes demean themselves down in a likely well meaning folksy but ultimately patronizing attempt to connect with the outgroup Democratic Party is pretty personalistic i mean you can look you see order policies from there will appreciate it dave put into place to live thinks their legs generally arent as smart. And really would do points to the democrats projecting a lot of their own insecurities a point everyone knows d. C. Everyone is races everyone is it seems everyone is all those days and if theyre when its really them they feel that way and in china to say that is the other side actually feels that way for decades the Democratic Party has been promising to help minorities in the United States but do Party Leaders actually see them as equal members of society well joe bidens recent comments have got plenty of people asking that question. R. T. New york. A leading name in the Hong Kong Protest Movement has appeal to u. S. Lawmakers at a congressional hearing on future times between washington and the chinese a ton of this territory just go along has been pushing them to pass the hong kong human rights and democracy act which went to monitor the region status with beijing in return for ongoing special economic. Hong kong special status under american law that bans on the city being treated as a separate customs area or beijing should not have it both ways repping all the economy benefit of hong kong standing in the world while erosion of our freedom this is the most important reason why the hong kong human rights and democracy act and just bought some throws off hong kong. Joshua wang is a prominent Student Activist who organizes protests against the Chinese Government in support of hong kongs independence the 22 year old is also a leader of the pro Democratic Party demo system hes already served several jail terms for his activities mr ones a visit to new york over the weekend drew huge attention from the media the Reuters News Agency the New York Times and bloomberg among those who asked for an interview or invited him to their offices he also gave a speech to students at the Prestigious Columbia University one has long supported the hong kong human rights and democracy act and recently said he expects it to be passed easily the bill proposes support for whole call from the us so long as it remains governed at arms length from beijing if not that could shake up washington to revoke the citys special status as eco shit on our reports. They are many theyve won the fight with the authorities by early submission but they are anything but done the American Flag waving taskforce among the hong kong protesters are sending their poster boy to convince us legislators to do Something Big on autonomy. Absolutely. Well for those of you having difficulty making out the absence of this boilerplate script its the human rights and democracy act and its meant to shill be doing that the us is serious about fighting for hong kongs rights the United States must make clear to china that its interference in hong kongs affairs will have consequences this month we must pass a boy cameron bipartisan on Consumer Rights and democracy act the bill was devised in response to what the u. S. Has been calling a chinese infringement on the regions autonomy and requires for america to review on combs special stay. Annually and if that status is ever revoked the regions autonomy would not so much been fringed but rather new to dust since the early ninetys hong kong has been enjoying huge advantages for wearing washingtons special status badge. And some believe that a small yet vocal group of protesters is laying an explosive tripwire for the whole region which will not enjoy the konami Chain Reaction if its ever triggered taking away this leverage is. To get hold of the ready biggest economy in the World Without a state and city local its just ordered was going to hold a great deal but its not just the Hong Kong Bali there are all the thousands of dollars they still believe in old gold and it would likewise be affected of course its all of a cold war because. Its only for percent of chinas economy previously ringback said about tale of the deal years ago in me a call to all more as far as equality is also so strong so big but now is always sent on the other hand of course we like would wish the one country to see so as to help china with the internationalization that really with the real and source of all american legislators say the bill is designed to punish Mainland China specifically as protesters want shown not to but while the end goal may very well be punishing beijing in pursuit of a geo political supremacy washington my just overlook the collateral damage. The leader of britains Opposition Labor Party is in the crosshairs after a washington think tank suggested that if you becomes Prime Minister he might pass classified u. S. Intelligence to russia. Looks at the sinister suspicions swirling around jeremy corben. It could all have escaped your notice the world seems to have been tipped upside down and recent years what made sense a few years ago is now considered crazy what was thought of as downright insane a few years ago now considered sensible like a potential british Prime Minister being called a russian agent by britains best friend report urges mr trump to consider withholding since different from ation and even pushing for the countrys nato membership to be downgraded if the labor leader and his downing street analysts are states that if labor takes office there would be a serious risk that information passed to corbin or his allies could be compromised especially if it was russia were iran the up somehow everyone with security clearance in the u. K. One of the most heavily surveilled nations on earth everyone missed that journey corben might be compromised but america and ill figure it out that is if you trust Us Intelligence agencies whose report was apparently seen by a think tank analyst the british opposition leaders sympathetic to putin are you really me we were duty to speak out against the abuse of human rights by the putin government and its supporters both at home and abroad and i join many others in this house in paying tribute to the many campaigners in russia for human rights and justice and democracy in that country is critical of russia he supported stringent sanctions against russia all very anti russian stuff but he made a mistake you see when the souls we spied trail of staging the worlds most botched and barassi in poisoning with putin himself firing the starting pistol corbin dead ask. The evidence proof that it was the russian government who did it. Who does that either this was a crime or fluted by the russian state or that state has allowed these deadly toxins to slip out of the control it has an obligation to exercise if the latter connection to russian mafia like groups that have been allowed to gain a tool hold in britain cannot be excluded. Thats what he said nothing about false flags or conspiracies the question was really the kremlin or whether russian criminals got their hands on it in the past when sense meant being sensible that may have been a legitimate question but in this new reality you dont do sensible things you do like Borish Johnson was then foreign secretary who lived and said that the poison could only have come from russia he claimed categorically and i think he used the word 101 percent that it come from russia porton down have not said the eyes of the foreign secretary has information that hes not sharing with porton down or it was a bit of exaggeration if youre an adult for the police the School Level Education you have heard illegitimate query being floated if youre a paid pundit with an agenda and flexible said the morals youll have heard blah blah blah my name is Jeremy Corbyn and i love the u. S. S. R. Now if that got their mouths frothing maginot catatonia those hacks went into when whod been Spokes Person compared the souls report isnt ings the whole works about iraqs weapons of mass destruction. I think obviously the government has access to information and intelligence from this matter which others dont however also theres a history in relation to w m d and intelligence which is problematic to put it mildly now some of the reactions are a bit too for law on to show you here but come on you know what happens there anyone who gets on the way of the rusher bashing express the a mode down and maybe god over a few times for good measure who wins problem is he just doesnt learn from pain less it is if rusher is blamed for anything you have to believe it i am magazine pretty much says so although want the Washington Post took a more scientific approach listing corbins faults one by one the Opposition Labour Party leader and his spokesman a refused to accept that the kremlin was responsible be car styles who British Intelligence see complete the moscow would not be new called it do you process and d. So the right response was robust dialogue he doubted the face this intelligence agencies with horrific track records wanted jew process said just this foundation of human rights dialogue rather and health far you know i am done as no more to say here a leave you with this the day american intelligence agencies learned to keep classified reports classified rather than league them weekly is the day we couldnt perhaps trust them to tie the own shoelaces and british aaron and for being a nation of dog levers and theyre very fond of their cats tune so the thought of eating dog or cat mate is enough to pretty much turn anyone stomach and u. K. Yet a proposed ban on tearing sale has reportedly been plucked by the government apparently out a fear of being culturally insensitive towards Southeast Asian nations we currently have some of the strongest Animal Welfare laws in the world the government is currently considering whether any changes are needed in this area in u. K. And will set out any plans in due course dogs are our companion animals we do not eat them and thats a very Important Message to send to the rest of the world its not culturally insensitive because were not telling them what to do which is telling them what we do we shouldnt be worrying about that so i was surprised that the justice ministries objection. Made to speed in many cultures as a delicacy and a health tonic is mainly consumed in Southeast Asia with china and south korea being the biggest markets some 30000000. 00 dogs are thought to be killed for their meat every year as the cats meat again china is by far the biggest consumer although its also reportedly occasionally eating the one full of other countries around the world in britain though while dealing in such meat is banned it now looks like eating it wont be outlawed we put that up for discussion here. I think is you know the does a sort of danger of hypocrisy creeping in i think all animals should be treated in respect to their welfare and their care and their comfort but you know the fun tease is that were a meat. Species. The morality that were trying to impose on a bt need to see a lot more sympathy you know for cutting down the Meat Industry for its Carbon Dioxide emissions. Machines and so on its called species as and thats the idea that some animals are usually those that were closest to like dogs and cats are superior whereas other animals like pigs and chickens are inferior well thats not based on anything other than arbitrary characteristics and it species has on that allows us to take some animals enter homes to treat them as companions as pets and then to treat other animals as commodities and to kill them for nothing more than their flasher for their fur you know there is no morally superior plane all the compassion of empathy all you know in relation to these matters if you are starving in the middle of Subsaharan Africa a dog may be your best source of protein. Or an absolutely absolutely but like were talking about people yeah i. Im in london and i can go to the supermarket i live in a city of abundant choices it is so easy for me to choose a bean burger rather than a beef burger and i think. It britain where you do have a multicultural country whose to do saw eat. As the sanctity of life and which much on the mall it is free for the slaughterhouse i think its inconsistent its not morally consistent its not legally consistent and i think ultimately its not ethically consistent and there isnt any moral any ethical any logical difference and between a dog and a pagan if we decry the dog meat trade then naturally we also need to decry the pork industry and i and all of the Meat Industry is because theyre all cruel they all cost suffering and ultimately they all kill animals needlessly for a fleeting moment of taste. Funny so now well be back at the top there with what date so please stay with us. Again we stand on the brink of war we should not be surprised official washington was quick to blame iran for the attack on saudi Energy Assets iran has denied involvement while the who have claimed responsibility will trump take the neocon bait and set the middle east on fire.
