A bitter custody battle between his divorced parents. Which gender their child should be identified. So i consider this to be child abuse and the sexual mutilation of children on a on an industrial scale so it makes me feel terrible i cant believe that a mother would do this to her son. Around the clock across the world this is your r. T. International welcome to the program just after 6 in the evening my means you. Are top story the u. K. Foreign office has ordered an inquiry into the leak of sensitive diplomatic cables penned by britains ambassador to washington in a series of bombshell remarks president Trumps White House is described dysfunctional among many other own flattering comments made by a diplomat. This is the story of a Foreign Office inquiry into a series of leaks memos that came from the u. K. s ambassador to the us so kim darrick well so kim has a 42 year career in diplomacy but some of these emails ended up in the mail on sunday the british newspaper and in those memos he gave a candid and damning assessment of the trumpet ministration. We dont really believe this administration is going to become substantially more normal less dysfunctional less unpredictable less faction ribbon less diplomatically clumsy and inept also came also called into question Donald Trumps publicly stated reason for calling a finance strike on terror on or following the downing of the us drone by iran trump said that he was 10 minutes away from making that command but called it off because there would be 150 casualties but secant says it was actually a question of policy and trying to harking back to his Campaign Promise of not allowing more u. S. Troops to go into foreign wars its more likely that he was never fully onboard and that he was worried about how this apparent reversal of his 2016 Campaign Promises would look come 2020 at the next president ial election well in response to these emails and the revelations trump was clearly unimpressed but restrained in his comments i would say that. The ambassador im not sure you hear well i can tell you that without without the. Ideas that there were no i cannot say that i could say that about him but i was well the response from the u. K. Has been rather mixed the trade secretary leon fox focused on the leak itself said it was unethical unpatriotic unprofessional and the person behind them was maliciously trying to undermine the relationship between the u. K. And the u. S. Whereas other politicians concentrated on the content of the emails and the author itself this was a personal view its not the view of the British Government its not my view we continue to think under President Trump the u. S. Administration is not just highly effective but the best possible friend of the United Kingdom on the International Stage i think it is very important that ambassadors give honest unvarnished advice to their country and it is disgraceful that it has been leaked from the moment trump was elected this man was the wrong person to be the British Ambassador the globalist an outlook. Totally opposed to the tom dick 3 the sooner hes gone the better well the leak comes at a key selling for the u. K. Is it looks to boost its trade with the u. S. Following say it remains to be seen if this blush in diplomacy will have an effect on the special relationship and the post breaks it economy where we know the British Government has now launched an inquiry into the leak that we got the faults of all or a mild all over is a former you can bluster a Foreign Office official he give us his thoughts on what the comments might mean for bilateral relations between london and washington the leak is very embarrassing because its going to make they are masters of his life for all the difficult part of his job only part of his job but part of his job is dealing with the president from the media with the White House Team and so on and clearly it was going to be a degree of embarrassment perhaps not very serious but there will be a degree of embarrassment of the bad news from that point of view on the whole in most cases involve the leak investigations myself the leak tends to mostly come from the top and i would guess that if this is a political role of the postwar or im just incompetent many times in the past in fact probably more often than not. Very senior jobs Like Washington like paris like new york the United Nations sometimes like moscow these very senior jobs have in the past been given. What we call political point im sad to say putting in somebody who is in some other way qualified for the job not from the professional Diplomatic Service that wouldnt be unusual that wouldnt be surprising. Moving on the protests erupted overnight in the georgian capital tbilisi after the host of an opposition t. V. Channel there launched into an obscene insult phil tirade against Vladimir Putin and his deceased mother live on air and he told me more. The kind of language that this anchor used you dont hear it on t. V. At all because that was swear words after a swear word you know some of the most nasty words that there are in the russian language i have to point out that this rant was in russian against Vladimir Putin himself and also against his parents who are no longer alive and i can tell you that this video was all busy over the internet immediately i was having a quiet day with my friends when someone sent it to me and when then when i played everyone was shocked because what they were hearing is theres life on there as well as having pointed i mean yes but you know the video was obviously a recording of that yeah it was on you tube but it was just so bad so very quickly georgian protesters and the georgian capital tbilisi started gathering in front of the channels h. Q. Its one of the most popular t. V. Channels and ga we even heard that some of the staff resigned almost immediately after that an outrage and it had to go off air for a few hours the bosses said it was because of some security concerns but now its back on what about the government itself what has to place he said about this the most senior officials in georgia spoke out very quickly we heard from the president from the Prime Minister from the Foreign Ministry as well they are saying that these kind of insults have nothing to do with patriotism so lets listen to the exact words from the georgian leader georgias president and the condemns hate speech verbal aggression insults and provoked are statements made today and will start to t. V. They go against old georgian traditions sort of only to divide and race tensions in the country with russia and in the region and you what about the reaction from moscow whats their reaction the russian government officials are obviously disappointed there saying that this is nothing but another display of verse of fold so lets listen to bits of the statements from the russian president s spokesperson and also from the russian for. In ministry to because its a country its not as for the insults against both our country and our president we of course consider them to be totally unacceptable and we strongly condemn them and we know that the entire leadership of georgia president Prime Minister parliamentarians and the speaker of parliament have strongly condemned this we see this as another clear provocation by radical forces in georgia aimed at undermining of russia georgia relations the current laden incident is a vivid example of where frantic brosseau phobia can lead it give us 91 way in the 1st place a georgian t. V. Host as you say a very Popular Program on a popular channel would insult in such a way the president of another country was it a one off incident this for instance we have to understand that at this point the relations between russia and former soviet republic toward you know which is russias southern neighbor are in turmoil and it has been like that for a few weeks right now after what georgians see as a very serious incident in the republics parliament and there was an event for m. P. s of Orthodox Christian countries was an International Event where a russian member of parliament was giving a speech and he sat somewhere where usually the speaker of the Georgian Parliament is sad and that sparked outrage in that country it led to all trial violent winds in front of the parliament would slide to arrests there was a line in the streets and in response to that moscow had to suspend direct flights between the 2 countries we know that there are a lot of russian tourists that had to georgia they were fearing that this could lead to possibly violence against russian citizens because we heard a new wave of anti russian slogans and russian rhetoric from georgian politicians so the russian government was expecting that these kind of men. Really hit the wall its probably of the owners of Georgian Hotels or businessmen in the tourist industry so definitely the tensions are out there and this is probably another example of this hate speech by an anchor of georgian t. V. Country kremlin influence the u. S. Agency for International Development house called a new strategy to help European Countries of void art side meddling and reduce dependence on Russian Energy moscow has drawn that russian propaganda our Senior Correspondent see it takes us through the plan. Usaid has unveiled a new plan a strategy officially aimed at boosting the resilience of the nations an officially it appears to mean giving lots and lots of money to anyone that vocally and demonstrably doesnt like russia politicians businessmen media i mean its in the name countering my line kremlin influence plan. These efforts will include creating tools for reform minded leaders and Civil Society voices to tackle corrupt government practices that kremlin agents often selectively exploit for moscow strategic benefit 1st off the us apparently wants to cut out russias voice i mean the aims arent exactly veg what could they mean preventing russia others from meddling in elections ok preventing russia from lobbying for its interests negotiating not ok it works both ways i mean we know what some of the reform minded leaders and Civil Society voices in the us are like. Us eats funding will build the capacity of indigenous media to provide trusted independent news and Information Sources should be fine and all of americas own independent news and media werent viewed as biased by its own people trust in the media is still a business americans believe its biased its even worse for online media by the way remember when facebook hired death checa linked to the Us GovernmentPoynter Institute for media studies to filter out unreliable sources and they ended up filtering out opposing political views before they were caught at my point why dont they spend that cash on making americas own media but leave a ball. To reduce your opinion regis dependency on russia u. S. Sees assistance will include working with individual states to create effective and regulate free frameworks and assisting them to join will function in local and Regional Energy markets. There it is the crux of it hiding in plain sight american shale over russian gas more expensive more cumbersome more political yet its full of Freedom Freedom gas they said that i have no idea how they do it with a straight face. Increasing export capacity from the freeport l. N. G. Project is critical to spreading freedom gas throughout the world by giving americas allies a diverse and affordable source of clean energy its a whole package money to the media which cries russian wolf money to politicians who get the american way money to lobbyists they get a nice little kick back from selling american gas moscow course isnt happy the term countering is a clumsy attempt to conceal the aggressive offensive approach this conception is blatantly aimed at propagating risa phobia in the world especially in neighboring countries to russia by the way saving best the last you know why usaid was expelled from russia 7 years ago why for an election meddling fiasco that for that became a big thing now isnt that ironic unfortunately a mentality took took hold of the establishment in washington early after the demise of the soviet union that there could only be one global superpower in the united the United States had to have a gemini over the entire world and sense russia is the foremost military power that is not under the control of the United States and thats why weve seen things like the expansion of nato and Something Like this which is kind of a i and information analogue to nato expansion which is to try to ensure domination of europe and to isolate russia as much as possible freedom guys just doesnt sound right does it coming off at this monday evening from moscow a custody battle over a 6 year old turns vicious as the father says the child is a boy mother thinks that hes a transgender girl. The problem of the Financial System cost from wall street throughout the rest of the world was so big that not just one central bank could make money cheap enough could create enough artificial money by itself and so the fed did collude did Work Together with the European Central bank with the bank of england with the peoples bank of china later that was kind of separate story with the bank of japan and so forth to create enough money to put into the Financial System to keep it safe for itself and ultimately what that did is a transferred all of that money into the banks into Financial Assets into burgeoning stock markets like like a ton of sort of crack into an attic up and up and i never took it away and that meant someone else was going to pay on the other side and the people that paid on the other side was everyone else and. Join me every thursday on the ballot so im unsure when ill be speaking to give us the world of politics. Im sure ill see you then. 17 minutes into the Program Welcome back a 6 year old boy in the u. S. State of texas has been caught up in a bitter custody battle between his divorced mother and father his per count agree on which gender their child should be identified. When with his mother the boy known as james who lives as a girl named luna the mother refers to james exclusively as her ses it was the child who expressed an interest in wearing girls clothes she even enroll james in school under the female name r t who is Sophie Shevardnadze spoke to his father jeff younger you can watch the full version throughout the day here in our. I took it very seriously because i had to some information what i was still living with with and George Wallace my my exwife had been putting him into ready timeouts and saying things like the monsters only eat boys ready and some things like that he said mommy tells me im a girl. And i would ask him you know do you look like a girl and say no but mommy tells me im a girl i just wanted to verify and i sent her a text and you know are you actually telling james that hes a girl and shes just replied simply yes and then refused to talk to me about it you know hes never presented himself as a girl to me ever that he factor with me he violently rejects any female identity he wont wear female clothes he wont even wear boys brief underwear because he says its too much like girls underwear i believe he dresses by his own will when hes with his mother i just dont think he believes the show love him if hes a boy the father has long been fighting for his son to be treated as a boy the sex he was born us jeff younger has not been accused by his exwife of abusing their child for not affirming him the strands gender and also for cutting his hair short. The father has an emotionally abusive behavior towards the checkout as example only hair cut to and other non affirming actions all the wrong clee of these behavior rises to the level of Family Violence at this time the father said ration is becoming more common and more intense the temporary orders that im under before you go to final trial actually do allow me to address them as james and use male pronouns but i cannot do that in front of 3rd parties who know him as a girl so basically i cant go to school i keep him away from any friends he might have at school that know him as a girl at my home hes known as james and i use male pronouns what im prohibited from doing right now is trying to convince him that hes actually a boy one of the big problems that that im going to face eventually is in the state of taxes right now the courts position is that all of this is medical Child Support. So i have to pay for him to go to you know a therapist whos teaching him that hes a girl i have to pay for the hormone suppression of puberty which actually chemically castrate boys and prevents the growth of their sexual organs and if he goes on to a surgical transition would be medical Child Support as well id have to pay for that i consider this to be child abuse and the sexual mutilation of children on a on an industrial scale so im not paying for any of this im not going to participate in abuse my son anyway on this of course comes out especially this debate whether children should be alive to change their gender at such a young age sociologist frank furedi believes parents should not impose gender choices on their offspring i think its wrong for parents to become preoccupied by gender identity its not something that the vast majority of children ever think about very much its not something that they experiment with to begin with i think that the danger today is is that we have a very Strong Political and cultural pressure on the part of parents to be much more relaxed about the boundaries that used to exist between boys and girls and as the boundaries are questioned so a lot of parents get confused. I just before we go this are all to bring this story to you a staple of american sometime model 19 will no longer be a permanent fixture on new stones it will cease publishing new content in the iconic publications monthly issues will not be replaced by end of year specials saw it taylor has been taking a closer look at whether the media has become a bit too sensitive these days to a joke. The one success to this surreal concept it was shopped vicious at times and wholly irreverent it was called satire and its dad rather its been killed off to 67 years of ruthlessly mocking the wild a bedrock of American Comedy the cult satirical magazine mad is shutting up shop from august its just going to recycle old content and put a new cover on it this is a publication ingrained in western culture with its child mascot alfred e. Newman comics like spy versus spy and even its own board games are doing. Its a game its truly. Not took no prisoners its creator said it was that to toughen up the Younger Generation show lifes ugly side it was also indiscriminate parroting politicians on both sides of the spectrum we pride ourselves on the fact that we have no force. We are all philosophy we are all politics we dont take sides we have no more scruples we have no say. We have no return and im about to set up a 952 models of publication for a different generation its lost its place in an era where offense taken victimhood have become new norms cartoonists now are gagged by hyper sensitive readers and profit driven media moguls cracking jokes is a Risky Business nowadays as the New York Times found out after a jewish themed illustration well went a little wrong and it scrapped all political cartoons and just in case anyone missed its 1st apology it did not the one you know to be on the safe side we are deeply sorry for the publication of an anti semitic political cartoon last thursday in the print edition of the New York Times that circulates outside of the United States and we are committed to making sure nothing like this ever had. Once again such imagery is always dangerous and at a time when antisemitism is on the rise worldwide its all the more unacceptable and sometimes you just need a helping hand in pacing offense ive been targeted for my cartoons on instagram and on facebook i kept getting censored on instagram and facebook and some of the more provocative pieces that i made they were just getting deleted and so i said to myself well whats the original way to do this so people even suggested in my feed maybe you should make a book being too political can make it all for social justice war is but can also cross the line when it comes to your manager just as veteran cartoonist rob rogers whod worked for 25 years for one outlet he found dozens of his. Rejected the severance package waiting on his desk did your editors give you reasons no they didnt give me any reason at all so youd have to ask them but but the common theme and all the ones that have been rejected is that like 90 percent of them have something to do with trump so so theres a clear pattern that they were trying to sort of tamp down the voice that i was having about you know being critical of trump but its a very realistic spin on trumps catchphrase youll follow it because making fun of reality has become a minefield now shortly after matt was set up in the fiftys its created to have to testify in congress on the negative affects comics were having on the youth of america consultant dr spoke at the hair and worried about whether this innocent generation was prepared for the horrors of sock it opinion. Without any reasonable doubt and it out anyway. But i mean. And. Hitting factor let me assure you now that i think perhaps they knew what was coming but for the magazine it seems society has had the last off were in a an era of Political Correctness from a private perspective you have the right to censor anything you want if you dont want pornography or you know fatal videos on your on your platform thats totally fine when the government starts censoring i find that a bit alarming the idea that some authority is going to determine whats safe for us to hear and whats not safe is ridiculous expressing different political opinions is the best thing you can do its important that people say what they believe and thats why no matter what the opinion is id rather the person say it and believe what theyre saying and be able to say it so everyone can look at that and hear grit and and judge it for themselves ok thats our stories look for this hour but it is time to get into debate mode and next we are back cross talking in moments with peter uncas live from moscow every hour of the day this is r.
