Is US Foreign Policy at a Crossroads? – Inside Story

In just 24 hours, Donald Trump goes from threatening to destroy North Korea to chipping away at the so-called special relationship with the United Kingdom.

It has been a week of tough talk and miscommunication by the White House. Donald Trump promised to handle the situation in North Korea after its latest missile test. But he was silent on exactly what that meant.

Several hours later, Trump faced a backlash for retweeting anti-Muslim videos from a far-right group in Britain. Prime Minister Theresa May condemned Trump for the tweets.

Nearly two million people have signed a petition, calling on May to revoke an invitation for a state visit for Trump. Another wrinkle for the administration is the future of America's top diplomat.

Mehdi Hasan Rips Thomas Friedman’s “Nauseating” Column in NYT Praising Saudi Arabia

We get response from Al Jazeera’s Mehdi Hasan to New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman’s recent controversial column, “Saudi Arabia’s Arab Spring, at Last.” Hasan argues the piece is absurdly sympathetic to Saudi Arabia, and that Trump’s friendly relations with the country mean he “is not just a liar and a conspiracy theorist, he’s a hypocrite. He goes on about radical islamic terrorism but cozies up to Saudi Arabia, which many would argue has done more to promote ideologically and financially radical Islamic terrorism than any other country on earth.”

Life of the Party: American Politics in the Trump Era - Fault Lines

It’s been just over a year since Donald Trump shocked the world and won the US presidency. In that time, he’s managed to upend nearly every political convention, throwing both Washington and the country into chaos nearly every day. He’s also left both major political parties in tatters, with their identity blown to pieces. In their trade for power, the Republicans lost control of their party to Trump and the far-right of their base of voters. And the Democrats have yet to fully come to terms with how and why Hillary Clinton lost. In this episode of Fault Lines, we examine the loss of identity of both the GOP and Democrats and look at what their strategies for rebuilding mean for the country’s future.

Inside Story: Can Online Content Be Policed?

YouTube is the world's most popular video-sharing site. Billions of users watch and upload videos on the website, which makes it a natural fit for advertisers. But the company has come under fire after a UK-based newspaper found adverts running along side inappropriate videos of children and comments.

The Times investigation found there were many videos of pre-teen girls, which were then liked and commented on by hundreds of paedophiles. One such clip of a young girl drew 6.5 million views. Several companies including chocolate-maker MARS and Deutsche bank have pulled their ads from YouTube.

The newspaper said the site had allowed sexualised imagery of children to be easily searchable. It also criticised the company for not monitoring its content. So, will YouTube do more to monitor and remove certain content?

African Americans Are Converting to Islam at an Alarming Rate

Prison Planet; Islam, the fastest growing religion In America. According to an estimate conducted in 2016, there were 3.3 million Muslims living in the United States. The census found that the number of Muslims living in the United States increased by a stunning 66.7 percent. Meanwhile, Christian denominations lost members. Sadly, when Barack Obama once said that “we are no longer a Christian nation” he wasn’t too far off the mark. Christianity is rapidly losing influence, and Islam is rapidly gaining members and building new places of worship. As Islam continues to grow in the United States, it is inevitable that Islam will reshape America.
