Really now puts pressure on downing street to suspend those agreements the un says that the yemeni conflict is the worst manmade humanitarian crisis in the world. A spokesperson for the campaign against arms trade told is the ruling will not stop the u. K. Selling arms to riyadh. Well the Court Decision has blocked future arms sales but it hasnt stopped the previous arms sales and as well as licensees it would be working under dont send the correct but be wouldnt stop its arms sales by china anyway because he has had a long inching bull and disgraceful history of arming and supporting the site for decades despite repression and. People and despite the appalling atrocities which it has committed against the people yemen no surprise that the government is intending to appeal because the government has spent decades army and supporting human rights abusing regimes and dictatorships all in while and it is not going to give up was easily because they spent decades building them up and no matter how many Atrocities Committee with it has been the murder of shoghi or whoever it has been the trustees committed against yemen no matter how you look at saying so its always been able to rely on the. Uncritical political military support of you gave prime ministers a new government. That that they fully at the top of the hour see that. Greetings and salyut asians you know next to hollywood nowhere else in the world has as much self aggrandizing and pompous showmanship for the cameras and capitol here hill here in washington d. C. But its when the cameras are off and our illustrious leaders have to put their money where their votes are that you often glimpse their true character and not the facade they put on display for voters in the news media take the recent house of representatives vote republican just a mile just in the mushing democrats only law firms amendment to restrain the brutal reign of domestic surveillance under section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act or pfizer voted down 2522175 votes the amendment saw both republicans and democrats joining forces to bury it including mr rusher gate collusion hawk himself resistance leader democrat adam schiff i guess he really does trust President Donald Trump after all i mean why else would he would he give the donald of the ministration Limitless Authority to conduct mass warrantless surveillance on the populace and speaking of Big Technology and Big Government and lots and lots of rhetoric around it it appears that the Trump Administrations export ban is is actually affecting the business of all things while way as ars technica reports that wow is bracing for a 40 to 60 percent drop in International Smartphone shipments. And while abusive surveillance and abuse of power in the free markets are big stories no form of abuse affects our lives more personally and dangerously than Domestic Abuse and hawk watchers it appears that here in the United States the National Domestic violence hotline had its busiest youre ever with more than half a 1000000 calls in 2018 so today lets talk about these examples of abuse and the lies that surround them the lives we are told and the lies we tell ourselves as we start watching our lives. Like you know that i got. That we. Would. Welcome them on watching the hawks i am tyrrel but in terms of a we once again put dialogue over debate as to what the wallace and myself bring you 2 distinct and informative discussions between topics and guess unique to our personalities and political viewpoints starting with my very own perception and perspective. All right joining me today to bring a little perception in perspective is the host of the big picture of holland cook our tea america producer brant youre border and live from toronto r. T. America correspondent alex mahela bitch all right i want to start things off with this latest vote by the u. S. House of representatives representatives against against reining in warrantless buys a surveillance busy should we be happy that we finally found something that can bring democrats and republicans together and that something is protecting the governments. Right to abuse the 4th amendment alex ill start with you what do you feel about this. And what did you expect i mean come on once you give the government a little bit of power not just to take it away the government likes its power it keeps its power when they start moving in a direction like this its really hard to reel it back unless youre going to radically change things with the government vote for somebody thats radically different and i dont see that happening anytime soon in the United States of america theres also the 2nd point tyrrel think about it when i go onto the internet when i get on my phone i assume that somebody is listening to me or watching what im typing each and every day this whole surveillance things laws no laws canada United States are you in europe are you in china i have a feeling somebody is watching us at all times and i just practice my stuff when im out there the internet the phone whatever it is i keep living my life because the whole thing is you know what i really have nothing to hide so if you really want to spy on me hey im here for all the spying you want alex has nothing to hide but we here in the United States we do it and usually those things they hide are protected by the constitution which has the 4th amendment of illegal search and seizure which as ive word snowden and many others have revealed you know the pfizer warrantless and a lot of the things that came out of 911 the patriot act things about major definitely intrude on that especially so 5 surveillance i mean is this the thing thats going to bring is it sad to see so Many Democrats and republicans alike kind of throwing what they tell us on t. V. Aside the morals they claim to have in the the hatred of trump on the democrats but will give more lists you know surveillance and then on the republican side its all we hate buys a war and when they go after carter page and paul metaphor will vote for him here until about trump him self you know trump on the stump when he was the candidate was squatting about being surveilled since hes become president its only more so and as alex alluded its a slippery slope the loophole having ben its ok to surveil. People here if theyre in touch with people elsewhere and i think were being a little naive in general because the genie is out of the bottle all this stuff you see in the jason bourne movies we should assume and i think rightfully that theres stuff theyre not telling us about what theyre doing i dont wanna know all the black bag stuff and frankly i feel a little safer because its out there but youre right about the political hypocrisy well i dont want to disagree too much with alex but i think when when this snowden situation kind of brought itself about i felt the same way as i dont have much to hide so why do i care if im being surveilled and also to hollands point i wasnt that surprised ive seen i mean this day i think we all have they essentially had a playbook that is exactly what snowden said you know and on the on the political aspect of it both left and right its about expediency for these politicians they dont want to lose their job and the last thing they want is an opponent coming up to 2020 or whatever election and say hey you know so and so they voted against protecting this country from foreign entities this by being surveilling american citizens so thats all theyre concerned about is watching their own back and keeping their job remember they named it the patriot act whos going to vote against that i want to move really quickly over and talk about expected to see this 40 to 60 percent drop in International Smartphone shipments and theyre saying its due to the export ban that the trumpet ministration put on them you know brant you work a lot of boom bust i want to run this to buy you should you know should we really i mean what is the why way things should we really be shaking in our boots over this Cell Phone Company at the end of the day that you know over the technology you have i mean it is u. S. Companies because to me it seems like government getting involved and saying look the free market kind of sorted out of people want to go buy it if they dont they dont there are a couple of things like i dont want to pretend that walk away is a honest broker completely ok its a its a chinese chinas biggest company. So theyre growing leaps and bounds we need to enemy that was beyond just the Chinese Government so i think thats probably where the Trump Administration really targeted them but i want to be clear with something there is a little bit of course. The Chinese Companies are known for taking american appeaser from around the world and basically taking that is how they do things was it right to arrest their c. F. O. And probably not and also lets lets be clear about something once these trade disputes and everything are done while way its going to have a bigger market share than they ever had been i dont know about you but i didnt know a whole lot about walk away before this whole thing blew up and so now i really want one of their phones they seem pretty cool theyve got a lot of good stuff of autumn and so i think and i think their c. E. O. Said something to the same factors like we can pay for this type of published in a sure that 40 to 60 percent thats a lot of because intel google theyre going to have a hard time getting their their software and their chips out to them right now but eventually this is all there is also interesting to see this new frontier but i want to hit this before we run out of time as according to the numbers the National Domestic violence hotline saw this 30 percent rise in calls online chats and tax you know for people calling in saying im in an abusive relationship and you know that kind of thing i want to ask you that ill start with you alex what do you believe is responsible for this is that a rise in violence or rise because of me to another such things a rise in victims finally feeling empowered to call when theyre in these abusive relationships. This is me to erode it honestly its i mean women have been abused historically we know that oh i think weve all met somebody that has gone through this in their lives and the meat to movement has helped women come out and tell whats going on behind closed doors this is a very important thing one problem that we have up here in canada is the fact that as you know we have a lot of large immigrant population this country is now freeing the. Those women and allowing them to express their issues that theyre having at home and to tell our legal force meant to hear you know what this is whats happening to me so i can it is actively trying to basically create bridges for the immigrant population having Police Officers that speak variety of languages thats very important here just basically Community Reach out this is all a part a part and parcel of one thing and thats something i mean that we should be looking at global you know we here were strange things coming out of the u. N. I dont know if you heard this today the u. N. Was talking about Artificial Intelligence like your syria or your ally its a females voice so thats against women i mean come on lets not be ridiculous with whats going on here is something that is deep seated its something that is dark we know also within our native community our Aboriginal Community here in canada people arent talking they need to talk and meet to has freed women to a certain degree and i hope it just keeps moving forward until we dont know what it will be more its disgusting its disturbing it is we talk about you know women in this but lets also not to forget that men are also victims of Domestic Violence and people realize this is the one in 4 men have experienced some form of physical violence by a partner one in 25 men have been injured by a partner one in 7 men and been victims of severe physical violence by the intimate partner and 5 men in the United States have been stalked in their lifetime those are actually big numbers yes womens numbers are much higher but its still one to many no matter what when you talk about Domestic Violence why you would about a minute left why are men so afraid of they find their very afraid to admit theyve been in the best advice social media its got something to do with it because things that didnt used to get talked about are out there now just this past week acting defense secretary Patrick Shanahan had to withdraw stuff comes out now i dont know if you have showtime i just saw the preview for this roger ailes biotech Russell Crowe is Roger Ailes Naomi watts is going to be Gretchen Carlson on this show her and. Bottom of the executive suite stuff comes out got about 30 yet i was going to to your point about men i mean i think its still a little bit a masculinity machismo type thing i mean sadly i feel thats a way that men still feel is that it makes you less of a man to be abused and this is a big issue in the Gay Community as well as it is im not i didnt pull the stats off hand but it is an issue that they face quite a bit as well and its just a shame thing sadly and the same way with women its that you know when we go right now we were here talking about toxic masculinity its coming out it is it is i think i would hope that all people that matter dont be afraid to call out Domestic Violence were godless of your gender i want to thank everybody who came on the show today alex middle of it in toronto canada holland coast of the big picture of bridget board producer to america thank you all 3 for joining me today a fascinating discussion all around all right as were going to break off watchers dont forget to let us know what you think of the topics we cover the facebook you tube and twitter and see our poll shows that are. Coming up the top of the wallace welcomes us into the gallery was scott ceremony and rachel bloodworms stay tuned to watch for the. Politicians to. Put themselves on the line. They did accept the overture. So when you want to be president. Some want. To go right for us this is what the 3 of them will be. Interested in the war. Just driving the trumpet ministrations around policy is confusing contradictory and even incoherent would be an understatement as members of his administration beat the drums of war the president suddenly inject themselves into the conversation with the words to the car what is the world thing. The u. S. Bureau of labor statistics released its 28000. 00 American Time use survey this month and it showed that 84 percent of women and 69 percent of men spent some time doing household activities such as housework cooking lawn care what they call household management from 232018 the share of men doing food preparation and cleanup on an average day increased from 35 percent to 46 percent but while men are doing more women arent getting to do less were actually still doing more and fact the study showed working women spend an average of 2 hours a day unchildlike care which is 5 minutes more than the year before you know what has gone down working womens time for leisure and sports in fact we are averaging 15 minutes less time exercising and relaxing than we did in 2003 all while getting even leslie and in the u. K. Bear maker brew dog had to pay approximately 1200. 00 to a 27 year Old Software Engineer in wales for what they call distress direct discrimination and breach of the u. K. s equality act of 2010 c as part of a celebration of International Womens day brew dog released a discounted parody beer called pink i. P. A. In bird dogs tweet they said weve created a bear for girls and its pink because women only like pink glitter right hash tag sarcasm what show that enough is enough was there. So it was all in the spirit of what they call it. Losing the sexist marketing techniques used to target women particularly within the Beer Industry so in order to get the discount brew dog required him to say the words i identify as a woman at a bar which he saw as humiliation and apparently the judge agreed to 1200. 00 and that means the struggles real for unbiased beer in Cardiff Wales finally this week swiss women celebrated the 20th anniversary of their historic 1991 womens strike in switzerland that led to a constitutional amendment that implemented Legal Protections from discrimination and gender bias in the workplace. Im here to search for women through the right of us women from the least i want to all to have the same name is it isnt that all women the rights were also thing that means in terms of the fight against discrimination in switzerland and on all day youre talking about a 20 percent difference in the salaries of women and that is thats a critical point its been so lets appreciate the art of walking the walk and step into the gallery. Joining me here in the gallery to discuss sleep barrett equality is our team america correspondent sara montoya soca and Rachel Blevins and scottie nell here whos from news views here is catching up on her sleep. Ok im sorry guys working right i have to say that study is the most accurate study ive ever heard accurate do you think you know looking at this you know it was we have more opportunities we work harder or were getting more things done but at the end of the day were giving up something really important and thats leap and thats lei
