Live from the russian capital a list of international with me just attain a welcome to the program. And to start us off and need to name in the Hong Kong Protest Movement has appealed to us who will make a congressional hearing on future ties between washington and the chinese autonomous territory joshua long has been pushing them to pass the hong kong human rights on democracy act which would monitor the regions status with beijing in return for ongoing special economic favors. One cause special status under american law that bans on the city being treated as a separate customs area beijing should not have it both ways reading all the economy benefits 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 the process of Hong Kong Civil Society to show one is a prominent student activists who organize protests against the Chinese Government in support of hong kongs independence the 22 year old is also a leader of the pro tem a critic party to my sister oh hes already several jail terms for his activities mr womans visit to new york over the weekend drew huge attention from the media the Reuters News Agency the New York Times and bloomberg are 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 hong kong from the u. S. So long as it remains governed at arms length from beijing if not that could trigger washington to revoke the citys special status. 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. Well for those of you having difficulty making out the absence of this boilerplate script its that human rights and democracy act and its meant to show beijing that the u. S. Is serious about fighting for hong kongs rights the United States must make clear to china that its interference in Hong Kong Affairs will have consequences this month we must possibly 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 own homes special status annually and if that status is ever revoked the regions autonomy would not so much be infringed 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 in a way that is the villages. Signal of the biggest economy in the world. And see that it will always just all. Oh it was going to hold a great deal but its not just the whole poly there are thousands of you notice they ready stumble ready and it would likewise be affected of course its a political war because. It calls only or percent of chinas economy previously stated goal of the deal years ago in me a call to all more as charles equality is also. All but now is always present on the other hand of course we lot i would wish the one country to see so as to help china with the internationalization the religion with the souls of all american legislators say the bill is designed to punish Mainland China specifically as protesters would not 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. Exit polls from israel suggest Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu could not really fail to secure a majority in Parliament Voting ended a few hours ago in the countrys 2nd parliamentary election just this year has the latest. Netanyahu is 2 parliamentary seats behind his main rival for my i. D. F. Chief pentagon says same to lift blue and white party whether that in the end transpires to be correct or not certainly not on yahoo does not have enough seats to form a comfortable Coalition Majority he needs 61 out of 120 seats so hes going to have to form a coalition potentially not only with his right wing support base in the big question mark as well who can he actually approach to form a Coalition Government with if he current and if been against content that seems to be the prognosis certainly at this stage the country could see itself heading for a 3rd election dont forget the previous election was back in april and that was an election that because netanyahu was unable to win he forced a nother election this time around and thats why weve seen critics say that the era of netanyahu is over he hasnt yet addressed his supporters he hasnt yet addressed reporters we hear that hes on the phone trying to put together some kind of coalition there is a 3rd some areas that have a door lieberman who is the leader of the israel our Homeland Party put forward 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 because lieberman did not join in it on yahoo 6 months ago we have in the elections this time around and its questionable whether lieberman will again join an attorney who need them and certainly has presented himself in a very powerful position hes doubled the amount of support it came in with if the exit polls are correct some tame knesset seats now earlier we managed to speak to one of his members of parliament her to obey her we should close to go to her. For the hour according to which we just saw work the suv that looks a little to earth so her. It worked perfectly for work for the for the us now that is one scenario that could see a 3rd round of elections been prevented but the likelihood of that happening has a huge question mark over it because you have these political leaders that really are at odds with each other for weeks now theyve been throwing mud at each other and so more questions and answers in terms of how a coalition in terms of what this m. P. Suggests could really function and work there is a sense of voter apathy here simply talking to israelis a lot off the straighted if 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 elections 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 we heard from dmitri devyani of the Palestinian Fatah Revolutionary Council he believes that is no longer a Center Ground in israeli politics. Well mr netanyahu in my eyes in 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 his coalition and awaiting israel became the. 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 it further to the right as a matter of fact actually there are no centrist Party Running theres lots of now with his extreme far ideological right parties coalition and there is there 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. Political process into full frozen mode. The 1st face to the system from Online Campaign aimed at the muslim teens that story and more after this short break. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to us of the world of politics or business im show business ill see you then. Welcome back fighting racism as a touchstone topic for us democrat joe bidens push for the white house on sunday he gave an impassioned speech at a black tchotchke but a few days earlier during a president ial debate one pressed on segregation and the legacy of slavery he switched to lecture African Americans of how we should bring up children can have more pain explains how bidens been caught up before and crossing the line between empathy and condescension. Joe by 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 is the excuse me 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 to 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 a 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 largely well meaning folksy but ultimately patronizing attempt to connect with the outgroup Democratic Party is pretty put on a list economy you can look you see order policies from the welfare state it is put into place to live thinks their legs generally arent as smart. And really would point to is the democrats projecting a lot of their own insecurity is a point everyone knows day say everyone is races everyone is it seems everyone is all those days and if theyre when its really them they feel that way and its trying to say that its 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 it will members of society well joe bidens recent comments have got plenty of people asking that question. R. T. New york. Now its ok when the need of britains Opposition Labor Party is in the cross has off to washington think tank suggests that if he becomes Prime Minister he might possibly classified u. S. Intelligence to russia were aghast and perhaps at the sinister suspicions. It could all of 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 reports 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 the analysis treats 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 you know sympathetic to putin are you really mean 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 whod been 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 so the question is 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 words 109 percent 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 hooks about iraqs weapons of mass destruction. I think obviously the government has access to information and intelligence in this matter which others dont however also there is 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 full on to show you here but come on you know what happens there anyone who gets in the way of the russia bashing express their mood down and maybe got over a few times for good measure who wins problem is he just doesnt learn from pain less it is if russia is blamed for anything you have to believe it Time Magazine pretty much says so although the Washington Post took a more scientific approach listing corbins faults one by one the Opposition Labor Party leader and his spokesman a refused to accept that the kremlin was responsible be konstanz from British Intelligence she complained that moscow had not been accorded due process and d. So the right response was robust dialogue he doubted the faceless intelligence agencies with horrific track records wanted jew process and Justice Foundation of human rights dialogue rather than health you know ive done theres no more to say here ill leave you with this the day american intelligence agencies learn to keep classified reports classified rather than leak them weekly is the day we can perhaps trust them to tie their own shoelaces. And finally on a lifestyle website for british muslim teens has become an unlikely flashpoint its been revealed that the home office has been covertly funding it as part of a Counter Terrorism extremism strategy a move that infuriated employees readers and the wider Muslim Community.
