USA/UK ..'special relationship' indeed

US- UK: What now for the 'special relationship'? | Inside Story

Published on Jul 13, 2018
In retrospect, British Prime Minister Theresa May might wonder whether this was really the best week for a visit from Donald Trump.

Arriving straight from a NATO summit that was predictably contentious, the US president has been greeted with massive protests on his first trip to London since taking office.

And as May struggles to hold her own government together, with the never-ending arguments about Brexit negotiations threatening to tear her Conservative party apart.

Only hours after arriving, Trump made the prime minister's life even more difficult, with scathing criticism of her in a newspaper interview.

And he went out of his way to talk up one of her main rivals, Boris Johnson, who resigned earlier this week as Foreign Secretary.

Trump said May's in trouble because she ignored his advice on both Brexit and migration.

And he thinks Johnson would make a great prime minister.

Aside from being an epic breach of both diplomatic protocol and simple manners, Trump's interview brought other questions into sharp relief: can May survive if Brexit no longer holds the promise of a separate trade agreement with the United States?

Can NATO survive the additional strain of a rift between its two top military contributors?

And, what about the so-called "special relationship" that supposedly links the British and American governments?

not a Trump exclusive
admit
it works for us all
and why not huh

This is why I think the internet is one of those moments in human history we will all wish we lived in....yet forget at the same time.

With every new phase of digital technology there comes an ever increasing phase of corrupting it.

One day it will get to a stage where it will be turned off because security will become to difficult or too expensive to maintain.....Yet when it is, who will remember the basics? . More and more the onus is placed upon the user to be responsible.....yet on the other hand....less and less we are becoming responsible for....catch 22.

What's behind Saudi Arabia's arrest of religious leaders? | Inside Story

d on Jul 14, 2018
Saudi Arabia has arrested prominent preacher and scholar Safar Al-Hawali just days after he published a book criticising the ruling family.

Three of his sons - Abdul Rahman, Abdullah and Ibrahim - were also detained.

Rights groups say Abdul Rahman and Abdullah were reportedly taken into custody while attending a family wedding on Wednesday.

While Hawali and his son Ibrahim were arrested the following morning.

Hawali became known almost three decades ago as the leader of the Sahwa movement - which advocated for democracy in Saudi Arabia.

He was previously detained for opposing the ruling family.

Saudi Arabia, under Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, has launched a crackdown against activists, religious figures and opponents in recent months.

But how far will this go?
