President has lashed out at the British Ambassador in washington calling him a pompous fall after a leaked memo in which the envoy gave a damning assessment of the trumpet ministration the feud has put strain on the socalled special relationship between the 2 countries reports. Because this all began when this message this message was leaked would show the you can bust of the describing the trumpet ministration in really harsh terms describing them as being inept and not seeing the situation improving any time soon pops into call donald trump fashion the us president took to twitter to express his feelings about it he didnt pull any punches and he described the u. K. Ambassador as being a very stupid guy the one he ambassador that the u. K. Forced it upon the United States is not someone we are thrilled with a very stupid guy he should speak to his country and Prime Minister may about their failed break that negotiation and not be upset with my criticism of how badly it was now here in the u. K. Of course we are watching as the 2 candidates go head to head to be the next conservative leader and thus the next Prime Minister there of course the former foreign secretary Boris Johnson and the current one jeremy hunt and the 2 men responding in very different ways jeremy hunt quick to respond to mr trumps tweet and as far as he was concerned mr trump was being very disrespectful and wrong donald trump friends speak frankly so i will these comments disrespectful and wrong to our Prime Minister and my country you said the u. K. U. S. Alliance was the greatest in history and i agree but i always need to treat each other with respect as threes amaze always done with you as for mr johnson well he wasnt willing to take a combative approach to mr trouble in the United States and as far as he was concerned well there was a spare is a special relationship which shouldnt be disturbed by this fall out ive got a Good Relationship with the white house and have no embarrassment in saying that the United States is has been will be for the foreseeable. Future number one political military friend this is perhaps the biggest the most public forming out between the governments of the u. K. And the usa for many years how serious it will get and how much strain it will put on that socalled special relationship really depends on who wins that contest to be the next british Prime Minister as weve just seen that 2 very different responses to Donald Trumps approach and that will define exactly where this scandal goes from here Global Affairs analyst patrick says the dispute could have an impact on the leadership contest for the u. K. s Ruling Conservative Party certainly comes at an interesting time right in the sort of the midst of the conservative leadership contest britain is due to appoint a new Prime Minister very soon or at least the tory party i should say is going to appoint a new Prime Minister not britain theres 2 questions one is who benefits from this leak does anybody benefit from this leak certainly on the sort of the remainer side you could say that they might benefit from this does germy hunt benefit from this certainly Boris Johnson cant because hes the favorite in the leadership contest at the moment but then the other question is who leaked it and why and we dont know that yet. Music festival in the us city of detroit has been forced to change its ticketing policy after a backlash over charging white people twice as much as black people organizers said the policy reflected the white communitys wealth and privilege which disadvantages black people move drew criticism online. 1st of all charging different prices bees dont race well done intersectional radicals youve become the very racist you claim to stand against so walk so very walk for a future 1st equality means treating everyone the same also for a future 1st were going to charge people different prices based on their race i wonder how our future Music Festival will charge asians do we pay 15. 00 because were non white but privileged the 1st of all has now canceled that pricing policy that followed widespread compare complaints and even threats against the organizers and their families there is now a suggested donation option for people of color of the proceeds will go to a program that supports young black people in detroit the organizers though continue to defend their initial ticketing terms are to structure was built to ensure that the most marginalized communities people of color are provided with an equitable chance at enjoying events in their own community black detroit affording joint pleasure is unfortunately still a privilege in our society for people of color and we believe everyone should have access to receiving such but it wasnt only concert those angered by all this one of the artists on the bill pulled out in protest. I was immediately enraged just because i am bi racial i have family members that would have under those circumstances been subjected to something that i would not ever want them to be in its nonprogressive and its not solution focused in my eyes or we heard from attorney and author Reese Everson who supports the organizers while social conservative commentator Anthony Brown a local logan says by any metric it is racism. Well i cant really tell was going on here it seems like a one hand they dont want white people to come but on the other hand they want to text him they want to charge do more money they let people for this is a so you dont want to be here but you want to money i dont really understand what you have are people who are local to the Detroit Community who may have been under server economic minorities and theyre seeing an influx of money and wealth into their community that theyre not necessarily always able to participate in and so when you have this organizer seeking to put together and a vent to benefit these underserved communities what shes saying is this is for the native people of this community what if it were an hispanic event lets say it was an hispanic Music Festival and they say hey anybody to c. Span and youre able to pay x. Amount of dollars if youre not hispanic including black folks you got to pay more so they make you use a black person pay more to go to their view with the races yes or no so if they say that you can really take over the ability to exclude people if they say it is say it is you cant come at all because you blake would be racist is that he is i mean im trying to figure out yes or no would iraqis definition. So you say yes ok that would be raised that way. Now for a black person to do to a white person how would it be would at the races well if it were white people in the shoe was on the other foot then it doesnt really make sense because we know in our house that if you spend your energy minutes later when black people actually have that type of control again its discriminatory its a its a practice where you are setting a bad about andrea barrier but is it preventing someone from receiving an economic benefit you know what if it were the other way around if you were a white only if it was a coach Music Festival in any way it is not why you go to pay double to take your brace what would the reaction be for your races you neo nazi k. K. K. Obviously what were looking at right now is a young lady looking through the lens of history and deciding that its important for us as a people to begin to fix the issue from the lens of equity versus equality. The u. S. State department has given the green light to a major weapons deal with taiwan despite criticism from china the pentagon and taiwanese officials defended the move this proposed salable supported the Foreign Policy and National Security of the u. S. By helping to improve the security and defensive capability of the recipient an important force for political stability move to rebalance and economic progress in the region taiwan will speed up investment on defense and continued to deepen security ties with the United States and countries with similar ideas all american lawmakers now have 30 days to make a final decision on the deal if approved taiwan will receive over 100. 00 modernised times and 250. 00 defense missiles that along with other weapons takes her total bill to 2200000000. 00 the oil and of taiwan has been ruled independently since the chinese civil war ended in 1949. Well its only recognized as an state by 18 countries none of the major global powers china claim sovereignty over territory and therefore by doing sees International Interference as a domestic threat. The sale of weapons by the United States to taiwan seriously violates the one china principle grossly interferes in chinas internal affairs and undermines chinas sovereignty and security interests china which is the u. S. To immediately cancel the planned arms seo and stop military relations with taipei to avoid damaging sino u. S. Relations and harming peace and stability in the taiwan strait. China analyst and lawyer says the move is part of a wider u. S. Strategy to contain beijing on the all busy of the all the United States while its not just i want of a chess board all. Of this big security the other states in which the loudest is seeing as being. Being challenged by the rising china but as far as the laws. There is the relations act which are the legalizers sales the idea is to create. A kind of unsinkable clark area. As a kind of. A fortress. To contain china so i think that the arms sales theres this in that context as far as an artiste. Leading Us Democratic president ial candidate joe biden has defended himself after coming under a barrage of friendly fire from his own party they claim hes been too sympathetic towards racial segregation in the past the issue was raised late last month during the 1st Democratic Party debate ahead of next years president ial election biden hailed the days gone by saying back then he was able to reach a compromise even when his biggest rivals like congressman during the debate party diehards criticized him for even having dollar would such people after apologizing for his remarks biden said the words were taken out of context. Did you see the questions about your past positions from the perspective of race being as relevant as they are no no think the role of the taking out of context and so easy to go back and go back 304050 years and take a context and take it completely out of context nonetheless throughout American History the democrats havent always been pro integration morgan explained. Joe biden the current front runner in the democratic president ial race has come forward to howard gys about statements he made about working with advocates of racial segregation i regret it. Im sorry for any of the pain or misconception i may have caused him but. I dont think you have to be holding a personal relationship with people who will very brutal oh a segregationist it was hurtful. To hear you talk about the reputations of 2 United States senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country now joe biden is still in the lead despite the scandal however it seems to have unearthed a strange reality in american politics the Democratic Party the party that brought us the 1st africanamerican president has a rather strange record when it comes to the issue of racism when senator robert byrd of West Virginia died barack obama gave him a stirring eulogy he was sent an icon he was a party leader he was an elder statesman and he was my friend. Thats all remember him. Prior to becoming a u. S. Senator robert byrd had been a high Ranking Member of the ku klux klan afterwards he reputed the views of the hate group but prior to that he had some strong views when it came to the issue of race of a fight in the armed forces with a negro bomb i saw id rather i should die a 1000 times and see old glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again than to see this beloved land of oz become degraded by race mongrels a throwback to the blocky specimen from the wilds bill clinton who was wildly popular among africanamericans gave a eulogy when he was president for j. William fulbright another democrat we come to celebrated. For the remarkable life of j. William fulbright. A life that changed our country. And our world for ever and for the better well the glowing words left out the fact that fulbright was a big advocate of. Keeping black and white children in separate schools back in the 1960 s. When john f. Kennedy and the northern Democratic Party organizations located in urban areas were pushing for racial integration the biggest pushback didnt come from republicans it came from the dixiecrats a Splinter Group within their own party in 1968 George Wallace the democratic governor of alabama was so outraged to see anti racism become the dominant view within his own party that he ran as a 3rd Party Candidate then you ought to come on down to alabama we did keep you some low down there. But now it would seem that a democrat having such an agenda would be almost unbelievable in fact m s n b c mislabeled George Wallace as a republican check it out. Governor George Wallace stood outside the university of alabama personally blocking 2 black students from a drilling there. It is. Sure joe biden has come forward and apologized for his statements on racial matters but it seems like the country has forgotten that not so long ago his entire party had the same issue after the civil war as the Democratic Party that was the races. It was the Republican Party that was different the republicans were at the slavery lincoln was republican and 80 slavery it shanes the dixiecrat after segregation after the civil war they were the racists everything was a mess weve had president S Supreme Court justices who were members of that class and then some of them had to do that to join the ku klux klan for political reasons i dont understand why this now with biden this is an inside baseball inside the bubble issue. The president of ukraine says hes ready for dialogue with russia but people in his own administration seem to disagree stories coming up after the break. The problem that the Financial System cause 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 to pay down the other side was everyone else and. Trying. To. Welcome back to the program with relations between kiev and moscow under enormous strain ukraines new president vladimir i dont ski has said he wants to hold a face to face meeting with Vladimir Putin but in an indication of just how fraught the situation is ukrainian authorities are accusing the countrys news one channel of treason over a proposed link up show with a russian state worldclass the which is banned in Ukraine Program which news one dropped after saying its journalists had received a barrage of threats was called we need to talk. Channels so the intention was to provide a platform for ordinary people from the countries to discuss the challenges facing ukraine and russia and the war in the east of the country as well its pointed out that a recent survey indicated 75 percent of ukrainians would support such talks the plans for the show though still outraged many including the president and on soften the deal in east the teleconference is just a cheap but dangerous p. R. Move before the elections the global reach is to divide us again into 2 camps. The shows announcement also triggered protests outside news ones h q with demonstrators setting off flares and chanting anti russians slogans russian t. V. Presenter who was supposed to be helping host the link up says the aim was to improve bilateral relations. That was say when i agreed to work on this teleconference i wanted to show what we had been reading listening watching worrying and during the 5 years when we didnt communicate with each other. Martin mccauley whos a historian and a russian expert suspects the authorities in kiev are anxious about ukraines upcoming parliamentary elections. It sounds very strange because treason is betraying your country and giving away secrets. From involving your country to another country which your country feels is to a d
