love street racing in the heat of the night this is a new orleans. best place in the world. you know me i mean really you really proved one hundred the u.s. president wraps up his five nation tour of asia offering to mediate an international disputes and promoting u.s. arms exports also to come the south deal between moscow and kurdish forces does help bring dozens of russian speaking children safely home from syria after their parents joined islamic state and the french government pushes for tougher laws on

sexual consent after a man is acquitted breaking an eleven year old girl. welcome has just gone midnight here in moscow you're watching r.t. international and i don't want trump is wrapping up his five nation nation asia tour over the course of eleven days he has highlighted the threat coming from north korea and encouraged allies to buy american weapons he's also presented himself as an international media. right you know really really really really really more afraid. well president trump offered to help resolve the south china sea dispute five countries are contesting china's territorial claims in the region an estimated

five trillion dollars worth of trade to pass through the route every year and a day or two to has more now on donald trump's potential role as a peacekeeper. u.s. president donald trump the mediator and arbitrator or at least outside 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 up to it'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 here to chief what his predecessors failed to what had all of us are going to be able to have done 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 if we make the greatest use of the world's greatest minds in the world really is commercial interest in the world so we would like to buy from us as little doubt trumps a good businessman but also we also in the beginning would anyone call him a good mediator and all the trade to let the rich altie while asia affairs analyst and really long to say that donald trump is more interested in scoring points for the u.s. than finding diplomatic solutions. he was more

a businessman i mean he even look at what he has been doing what he has been saying everything is calculated in terms of some 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 that means that the other party is very very loose trumps c c's most of the provided activities in terms of monetary gains in terms of you can economic gains will be an artist rather than contribution something walang truly to the group of commons. that russia has struck a deal with kurdish forces in syria allowing dozens of russian children stranded in the country to return home but it has more on the story. with isis now on its last

legs flights like this becoming a regular thing russian citizens looting the wives and children of isis fighters is being collected wherever they're found whether they've surrendered or been captured and taken back to russia to rejoin their families it isn't often that a high ranking syrian could visits the russian air base in syria but this is a special exception tens of thousands of foreigners joined isis among them the wives and children of jihad. 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 rocka they had a daughter. 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. that it was dangerous to flee directly for three or four months we try to find a way out of syria my husband wanted to escape as well but it's impossible for a random number that's when the first tried to flee ourselves police caught and imprisoned in total we were taken to prison on three separate occasions the last time they didn't release my father and after march they said he died it was horrible i said i was hunting us plus we had to deal with adam bandt months and i was in my i'd been 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 for had 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 way pramod husband and try to reach the kurds and rocca they help me out the children obvious signs of trauma stunted speech and the development excessive nervousness and other symptoms brought about by what they saw war and carnage the worst is now behind them it won't be easy readjusting to life in their home countries almost have family relatives who are more than willing to help when all is said and done there is some responsibility to be taken here most of 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 repaired. more gas they have in syria their world meanwhile in iraq an r.t. crew has been working at an orphanage there sheltering the children of ice or fighters and thankfully we are pleased to say with the help of our viewers we have managed to reunite many of them with their families. target. got a bit more know who was the. person. or than anybody unless it. was

. you know. the french government is seeking tougher laws on sexual consent it follows the acquittal of a man who was charged with raping an eleven year old girl charlotte dubinsky takes

a closer look. well the thirty year old man who was acquitted of raping the eleven year old girl when he was twenty two years old this is a case it's been in the court system for some time in france and the fact that he was acquitted of raping this eleven year old girl has caused absolute controversy here in france people describing an eleven year old child as being innocent as being unable to give consent to sexual relations godless of what the situation was now some of the details of this case have been pretty horrific it turns out that the girl who is eleven years old at the time she became pregnant following that sexual encounter and then later gave birth to a child a child that's now in the foster system here in france well that's led to french ministers discussing a proposal to change the law to create a presumed age of consent in france but ministers say that that presumed age of consent could be as low as thirteen and that has caused extreme controversy here in

france with many people unhappy that a child at the age of thirteen could be able to say yes or no to having sexual relations scandals proposal governments or media what do you have inside your had friends will become a tourist destination for pedophilia thirteen years still too young why do we absolutely want our kids to grow up so fast let them be children fifteen sixteen years is an age reasonable for sex questions well it's not just the only case of its kind here in france just in the last few months another man was acquitted of raping another eleven year old girl and at the time we spoke to some children's charities who are absolutely outraged at the court system here in france could deem that a child that young could give consent for sexual relations now one other time when we spoke to them they demanded that there be an immediate change in the law but

they suggest that that lowest age you presume. consent should be fifteen and certainly not the thirteen that's now being scratched by french ministers and we also got some reaction to this story from people in paris but it's ridiculously low thirteen is the first stage of a teenager i personally think it should be the age of consent should be sixteen at least i think that's what it is worldwide so it's way too low. because also i think thirteen is very young to decide on the issue i guess fifteen is the most reasonable each for sexual decisions. it is easy to manipulate a person of the age to consent that's terrible thirteen is young enough for that. now in an effort to avoid discrimination police in the swiss cities care of decided not to release the nationalities of crime suspects to the media regular mention of nationality in police reports is discriminatory because it suggests that the fans

can be explained by perpetrators nationality but i discussed this story with needles for chatter from the swiss people's party and also sound but he's a muslim rights campaign one of the biggest problems our country has is being politically correct because we have got massive problems with criminal furring people and it's not a solution to choose don't talk about it when you look for example at the can't there are twenty six point five percent for him people that are doing fifty four percent of all criminal activities these are problems that need to be discussed about political correctness some of our hiding statistics and factors about making sure people are more informed and that is what you can do more adequately and more properly if you don't focus on in the.
