just after six am in toronto ten pm in sydney two in the afternoon here in moscow this monday november the thirteenth welcome to our two international our top story donald trump's final stop of his lengthy asian tour he's in the philippines for the summit of scythe east asia leaders later on monday he's ju-ju hold his first formal talks with president deter take on the streets of the philippines capital though the american leader hasn't received the warmest of welcomes. i gather again in manila following sunday's violent marches against his visit clashes with police officers resort to using water cannon to disperse the

crowds. to the summit if there is one thing that should be second nature to gatherings like these it's a signature move the presidential pick but it proved to be a challenge when he took to the stage with his fellow leaders. now for the us we are right over left one two and three. yeah he did get there in the end i'm in furnace to trump he wasn't the only leader to struggle with it was for the more important business at hand the u.s. leaders been positioning himself as a peacemaker in the region's troubled spots. the disputed territorial claims in the resource laden site china sea. well the turret tauriel dispute in the site china sea the trumps proposing to

moderate include several countries in the region both land and see is being disputed over an estimated five trillion dollars worth of trade passes through that route every year the president of the philippines rob riggle to turkey who's meeting with trump behind closed doors right now this warning for those trying to have influence and it's hard has would like us to come from china and the rest of the world on so many issues the south china sea is better left untouched nobody can afford to go to war it. looks now latest attempt promoting its peace keeping services approach. u.s. president donald trump the mediator and arbitrator or at least thousand what he seems to think let's have a look at the conflicts he's dabbling in. there are at least two major conflicts currently brewing in this region and the longest and bloodiest one

is between israel and palestine and of course trump wants to be the man in the middle the palestinians and israelis must work together to reach an agreement but i would love to be a mediator or an arbitrator or a facilitator the problem is he appears to be playing games with both sides promising one thing to palestinians and almost denying he made those promises to israel is this really how mediation works. staying in the region america's allies have been having a bit of a spot of late early the summer saudi arabia the united arab emirates egypt and bahrain cut off diplomatic ties with qatar and started an economic boycott they cited qatari funding of terrorist groups and later it increasingly close relationship with iran as their reasons trump though claimed he was ready to roll up his sleeves and sorted out i can help mediate between carter and in particular the u.a.e. and saudi arabia i would be willing to do so and i think you'd have

a deal worked out very quickly i think it's something that's going to get solved fairly easily but nearly six months since the fallout nobody's talking. so if mediations not proving his forte what about ruffling up those crises already settled the iran nuclear deal is now in jeopardy thanks to trump decertifying it the very deal that took a decade of tense talks and negotiations by six nations to agree this is a difficult. game this is not up to any single country to terminate president of united states as many powers not this one when. i'm saying it would be a great era of dialogue control and multilateralism these are the efficient weapons . perhaps the donald's biggest test has been north korea and again he posted hate achieve what his predecessors failed to

what had old earth are going to be able to handle it will be it will be handled we handle everything trumps recipe for success threaten threaten and threaten again we are totally prepared for the second option totally destroy north korea that's called the military option they will be met with fire fury topped out with huge military drills and selling weapons to every nation he could during his recent asia adventure tour prime minister to pay and is going to be purchasing massive amounts of military equipment as he should he will shoot them out of the sky when he completes the purchase of lots of additional military equipment from the united states the president and i have agreed they'll be buying a which they want and which they need and everybody thinks it makes a lot of sense we make the greatest military equipment in the world and south korea will be ordering billions of dollars of that equipment which frankly for them makes

a lot of sense to make the greatest missiles in the world greatest player in the world with his commercial and so we would like them to buy from us as little doubt trumps a good businessman but as we all start the beginning would anyone call him a good mediator and all the trade to let the rich altie. well asia first analyst under long and sees doldrums offers are more about scoring points for the us than actual finding diplomatic solutions. i mean he. look at what he has been doing what he has been saying everything is calculated. in terms of. sort of tangible gains for the united states that causes problems for countries dealing with the united states because he was american first american always wins. the other parties may lose.

most of diplomatic activities in terms of monetary gains in terms of economic gains. something truly to the group will commons. moving on russia the kurdish military have come to an unprecedented deal dozens of children to be brought home after their parents travel to join us in syria reporting rockets the it with isis now on its last legs flights like this becoming a regular thing russian citizens looting the wives and children of isis fighters being collected wherever they're found they've surrendered or been captured and taken back to russia to rejoin their families it isn't often that a high ranking syrian kurd visits the russian airbase in syria but this is

a special exception. tens of thousands of foreign as joined isis among them the wives and children of jihad and snogged to the caliphate from dozens and dozens of countries many came from russia nineteen russian speaking woman along with twenty six children were being held by the y.p. they came from all around from morocco they had as daughter my idea and it took time to confirm that identities and to secure their release. the deal worked out between the russians and the kurds is unprecedented the smocks the single largest repatriation of isis family members since the terror group appeared you know it was dangerous to flee directly with three or four months we try to find a way out of syria my husband wanted to escape as well but it's impossible limitless number that's when the first tried to flee police and then prison in

total we were taken to prison on three separate occasions the last time they didn't release my father and after watch they said he died it was horrible i still was hunting process we had to deal with. them i was in my idea of bombs were falling on us like rain i happened to be buried under the rubble four times with my child there never was any civilization no economy like it was always described there were only courts and only a high rank would be on your side otherwise you were nothing. from the very beginning i wanted to leave syria but didn't know how there were no wait from a husband and try to reach the kurds rucka to help me out the children their obvious signs of trauma stunted speech and the development process of nervousness and other symptoms brought about by what they saw more and carnage the worst is now behind them. mooned be easy readjusting to life in their home

countries and most have family relatives who are more than willing to help when all is said and done there is some responsibility to be taking the oath that these women came to syria voluntarily and that they may yet have to answer for the damage isis has wrought is indescribable countless people have been killed entire cities razed yet even amidst the ashes of this disaster. is not lost there is still lives that can be were pad. towards the end that rots talking about an r t team has been working out in the rocky orphanage where children of suspected eisel fighters were left stranded looking lee with the help of our viewers we managed through unite many of them with their families.

to take up that motel room was the. move as it were the menu by numbers that were. not were. both at the option.

you. know could a new european wide army be one step closer to reality what at least twenty e.u. countries are right now these are in fact are the pictures there right now signing a new defense pact called pescado promoted by france and germany in fact denmark is the only country to join the pact austria poland arland and malta the other countries who are setting up for the time being but the pen is going to run all the table here in brussels but what does it all mean when our europe correspondent peter all of her can take us through the out for the block right now. well this is

being put forward by the european commission and some are saying it was done so in a slightly and handed manner what's called a permanent structured cooperation or tesco agreement was put forward some would say to avoid attention from both nato and from the european council it's designed according to its architects to improve security and also to deepen defense cooperation across the e.u. has been put forward as something of a military sharing game if you will it's now it does come on the back of a lot of discussions that have happened over the past few months about an army in fact talk about stepped up following the united kingdom's decision and twenty sixteen that it wanted to leave the e.u. they had been firmly against an e.u. army but one particular e.u. leader that is very much in favor of an e.u. military is a manual mike carona you are in need of profound changes i proposed to our

counterparts to create a you. european army and they opened this initiative towards the french army and all militaries coming from european countries voluntarily that france has to possess a joint intervention force common defense budget and common doctrine to act so the french president on board with an e.u. army but when it comes to this military shamed an agreement or pesto there may be a few wrinkles to iron out between two of the major architects that's france who want to see a smaller force that fits within france's current tree current military objectives and also want to see a force that would be able to intervene abroad where is germany or they want to see a larger more inclusive pescado agreement critics of which they say well it could become quite cumbersome and and in fact quite hump of the effectiveness if you allow too many people in well foreign affairs ministers have started arriving in brussels for talks on this we're expecting them to sign something throughout monday

i'll be keeping an eye on it soon as any news comes out of brussels of course i'll be bringing it to you here on r.t. well we do have an update the e.u.'s foreign policy chief federico marguerite he said on monday morning that more than fifty million projects have a ready been proposed by the e.u. countries noted the fence pact is being tired as peter was saying as a new nato by some but chris expect it will be a strategic disaster i think it's definitely a step into the wrong direction because of course to has been quite a nation among elements of so european countries purposes but overall this has taken place in the context of nato and there is no real difference because the policies which have been. persuaded and the slide spirit very much confrontation against russia at the nato so i think it is to be seen in this. contacts and

definitely it's not it's not something which should be seen as some kind of. whatever in time nato i would not directly see it as aggressive move but of course i see it quite critical first of all germany with its history should not be more than a defensive military structure and with this germany suddenly is also having the possibility to do actively some military action i think it will help to play always the card good cop and bad cop the good cop is a european army and the bad cop is the nato so i think they will really work arm in arm the news continues in ninety seconds stay with r.t. .

here's what people have been saying about rejected in the senate it's. the only show i go out of my way to. really pack the. yampa is the john oliver of a party america is doing the same we are apparently better than that and see people you never heard of love redacted the night president of the world bank. sent us an e-mail. seems wrong. well we just don't. get to see palin just come out to. and in detroit because the trail. when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

hello again former first minister of scotland is artesian newest talk show host with the first episode to air this thursday here's a quick preview of what's in store on the alex semin show it's not just the straight political show it's about people in the past now it is of the day and to find out something about the cottage those behind the public face of these personalities and what they've got to say perhaps even about issues which a lot. normally released to their or to those of their business or their political views i mean i think that's of interest as well to see something of the the human being behind the public figure are you not afraid of been hosts in the rush of the program taking into consideration all their publications on the media.

attention to russia today can have anticipated that question i thought maybe from the son of the daily mail but a bit on the west side other adequate scan back through the. russia today broadcasting and a counted fifty liebert m.p.'s thirty eight tory m.p.'s fourteen s m b m p seven liberals friesian fain to do you be in the green of all appear on russia today programmes so you know. if it's good enough for john mcdonnell jeremy corbin diane abbott john redwood crispin blunt liam fox ian black for vince cable and cullen look at this that i can probably. stand there the criticism that the they experienced as well well he is already having to withstand the sort of criticism he was expecting with headlines bashing alex salmond's choice to appear here on r.t. british newspaper the times for example did not hold back. mr simon

service for the propaganda outlets of a hostile foreign autocracy does indeed evinced our lack of judgment self-respect and shame when even the current leader of the scottish national party someone's own party expressed heard. had a been asked which i was and i would've advised him to seek another channel to hear the sure and of course alex is not currently an elected politician a nice fee to meet care whatever decisions he wishes to meet well i found that slightly old actually because normally the scottish national party the party that both members of is normally pretty cohesive well i think it's very all the situation that we seem to be increasingly in where people want to know platform various individuals various stations you see all the time news article say disgraceful the x. politician show the platform and somebody or isn't it terrible that wide politician turned up on various stages in various countries i believe in a plurality i believe actually that people should appear or whatever t.v.

or radio station or whatever platform they want because it's important to create a sense of dialogue we don't want to be in a position where all we have to get is the b.b.c. said it's worth hearing different opinions and for all of its failings those do that. a powerful earthquake that struck the border region between iran and iraq is no thought to have claimed more than three hundred and twenty lives a further twenty five hundred more have been injured according to iranian state t.v. the seven point three magnitude quake struck on sunday evening causing buildings to collapse there have also been lancelot's and the mountainous region in a desperate search for survivors is underway for many thought trapped on the rubble the number of casualties is expected to rise tremors were felt in baghdad and even as far as southeast turkey electricity is being cut off in several cities in both iran and iraq and communications are disrupted the rescue effort.

so the arabia her succumb to pressure from the u.n. humanitarian organizations are certain lines that it will begin reopening earlier on seaports in yemen it comes after a week long total blockade of the country earlier. unicef said that four hundred thousand children in yemen are facing starvation on top of there's a deadly cholera outbreak half of those affected are children under the age of fifteen local doctors and humanitarian organizations have also been increasingly concerned by the dire situation in the country was that whole incident with full confidence i can say that these numbers will increase and humankind will face a horrific catastrophe when it will discover one day that it hasn't fulfilled its tutti as it should if the catastrophe indeed happens we beg the international community to pressure the coalition food and medicine not weapons things that has nothing to do with weapons they shouldn't be in any plated yemen which is the poorest country in the aura world is already running out of food medicine and fuel

the saudi led coalition claimed its blockade was to stop the alleged flow of weapons to rebels from iran after hooty missile was fired at the site a couple split the coalition launched its military operation against the rebels in march twenty fifteen supporting the yemeni government but it's the locals who are suffering the most both from relentless saudi bombing the block and. look at all or some other. bodies other than a. novel a phenomenon that. most of.

all. there's no logical reason we couldn't sort of take medicine actually deal with issues of cholera there is no logical reason that we couldn't. have gifts. support to do to are a starving the only thing that is holding us back is the fact that the saudis and their allies with the help of the support of the united states and the west are putting very effective sort of blockade which no food no medicine gets through no reports to get through none of the humanitarian organisations would operate and indeed even united nation cannot have access to these people to stop the sort of these on the small at least look after the innocent people who are facing a starvation and disease. this is our team or our t.

programs right ahead stay with us. one hundred years ago russia was consumed by revolution and unprecedented violence is not an understatement to say the russian revolution or culture because they talk it was a defining moment of the twentieth century how did it change russian. the . kids are.

going on in king's own money does she don't consume don't tell you that he doesn't do it on jay dealing with the single and on the bus and in that equal distances wasn't what he calls the stance many thought going on in condolences this would all be done still in the will deal with that to those on putting in as his own as a downside as it all took to sitting on. the. t.v.

. to go. on. i'm after a time they were going underground on the official deadline day for all to you america reggie. as a foreign agent of the usa or be liable for arrests coming up on the show. past your future twenty four hours after remembrance day we speak to world war two veteran and. about u.k. prime minister teresa mayes defense secretary and what he thinks of his replacement who has consistently voted. rights award nominated comic book writer and creator of

for u.k. pm to raise a mayor who had to criticize trump's environmental credentials after holding hands with him she backs a bomb in support of fracking shell gas does have the potential to power economic growth. of jobs in the oil and gas industries and you know the sectors and if i did new domestic energy the jobs in energy for who will there be any humans left to use the energy that is the scientific truth of climate change really helped by news like this a newly released federal climate report suggests it's extremely unlikely that rising temperatures are caused by humans a federal report is in us federal report that iraq had weapons of mass destruction as in nato nations should support al qaeda and isis linked militants to overthrow the government of syria as in backing death squads to kill gadhafi in libya as in one u.s. federal report the thought it proved this very t.v. show is able to destroy us democracy and put trump into the white house.
