thank. you. this russia's actions which threaten the international border. to reason make calls on europe to unite against the so-called brush and threat speech critics say is designed to draw fire from her struggling bricks and negotiate. to this morning from words to war as the rhetoric and proxy conflicts intensify between iran and saudi arabia look at what might be unleashed if they resort to a military solution to. their warnings so the u.s. army's move now to boost recruiting numbers by relaxing the rules on the list and people with a history of serious mental illness. a.t.m.

choosing the fourteenth of november here in moscow my name is kevin owen good morning from me welcome to this latest live thirty minute news update from r.t. international and first that the british prime minister is calling to unite against russia and its supposed threat to the continent through the may accused moscow of military aggression alexion meddling and spreading fake news without going into any detail does russia's actions which threaten the international order on which we all depend so i have a very simple message for russia we know what you are doing and you will not succeed while the mansion house speech is an annual event where the prime minister traditionally delivers a foreign policy speech and it was the lord mare of the city of london he was introducing the prime minister today and he used the opportunity to remind the prime minister about how worried finance is in the city generally is about the lack of progress in. brags it talks he said that fine words butter no parsnips and the

city wants to see a good brags it deal now however to reason may's speech hardly touched upon the issue of bragg's it at all as he spoke about global challenges facing the u.k. and its allies and the star of the show in terms of global challenges really was russia that was what she chose to focus criticism on russia has fermented conflict in the dawn by us and mounted a sustained campaign of cyber espionage and disruption this is included meddling in elections and hacking the danish ministry of defense and put them to stark among many others it is seeking to weaponize information deploying state run media organizations to plant fake stories and photo shopped images in an attempt to sow discord in the west and undermine our institutions it's just blind use asians from

the united states britain generally follows the united states into various disasters this is just another example of the u.k. following its big brother in the us down a road to nowhere the fact of the matter is when ever a politician either is about to lose or is in the process of actually losing bring out the old scapegoat which is russia the same thing is now happening in britain where a prime minister who is facing. an end of a brief career in power is now bringing out the old scapegoat with bearing in mind the british p.m.'s message comes on the back of a tough week for domestically the go see oceans continue to be criticised by parliament members and as yet in the real positives for the u.k. so much so now the chief breaks that negotiator says he won't rule out of no deal scenario meaning brics it talks could go. entirely pressures also clamping down on

threes of may with rumors that forty parliament members are readying a letter of no confidence now that number eight short of the required total to force a new leadership election within a conservative party we discussed may situation with former conservative m.p. paid a little he believes her speech was meant more as a message to brussels it was as much a message to europe as it was to russia saying we are the major security power in the european continent we have the best armed forces and the greatest ability to deploy them we want to continue to be allied with our european neighbors when we leave but they've got to remember if they want us to be helpful and firm and stand by them they don't want to weaken us or we can their relations with us. we do deal with the second half war she was saying that we won't call deal relations with russia we certainly don't want to return to the cold war we recognize that we're

actually the opposite ends of europe and for hundreds of years we've been natural allies even when we don't like each other's regimes we're natural allies. as for the world's morning thousands of people in yemen of law in the streets of its capital city in protest against the saudi led blockade of a country last week riyadh introduced a full blockade of yemen closing all access by air and seat of the country to saudi led coalition and to the civil war back in twenty fifteen supporting them the ousted government against who is the rebels it's blockades have left millions starving and it's led to what's been called the deadliest outbreak of cholera in recent history to however after pressure from the united nations and he will rights groups the saudis claimed on monday that they would roll back the blockade to a partial one again however another twist to it human rights watch says that claim is a form of quote cruel fiction exploding in fact the ports that riyadh will reopen aren't enough to provide essential supplies of food and medicine for its part saudi arabia

says it will continue with its partial blockade it is convinced there is no flow of weapons from iran going to who through rebels that civil war in yemen is seen by middle east experts as a proxy war between saudi arabia and iran artie's jacqueline bouvier looks next to where the current cold war between the region's most powerful countries could lead to a full scale conflict may be. the rivalry between middle east powerhouses saudi arabia and iran is nothing new yet it's becoming ever more tense with fears growing of a full blown war a missile launched by yemeni rebels directed at riyadh earlier this month has already got the saudis talking about direct aggression and war the coalition's commom considers this a blatant active military aggression by the iranian regime and could rise to be considered as an act of war against the kingdom of saudi arabia. you know the mites in position of the public people more powerful than you have been able to do anything against the iranian people you're not strong enough to do that's where we

look in the region conflicts can often be boiled down to saudi arabia and iran countering each other by proxy the saudi military campaign against the who's the rebels in yemen backed by iran saudi backing of sunni rebel groups in syria while iran's supports the assad government both of those conflicts are exactly panning out well for saudi arabia so how would they fare in a direct conflict with iran let's break it down. looking at a global military strength rating the two countries aren't far apart on the list with iran at twenty first and saudi arabia taking the twenty fourth position. and all riyadh's aviation outstrips tehran's iran wins out when it comes to tanks and naval assets by a long run. it's probably no surprise that the saudi kingdom has a massive defense budget coming in at over fifty six billion dorf in the islamic republic's six billion and change. but when it comes to male power

iran has significantly more citizens fit for service and the event of war you have a very rash ruler in saudi arabia i'm talking about the crown prince. you know he's just about ready to do. it so if you look at what happened with the lebanese prime minister. it was basically forced to resign. and that gives you just an indicator of how far will have not been so man is willing to go but i personally would be very very surprised if saudi arabia lost the war on iraq i would completely rule out iran launching a war on saudi arabia if study arabia had. guarantees or chance of winning i think it would go ahead with the war but i think saudi arabia believes it doesn't have a chance of winning and winning a war against iran the rhetoric might be at a boiling point at the moment but there's still no sign either side is ready for

open conflict. the u.s. army's why doing its recruitment pool by allowing people with a history of serious mental illness to enlist but psychiatry swore that it could cause further harm to vulnerable recruits caleb maupin reports. ben till health issues no longer rule you out of serving in the american army at this point according to documents acquired by usa today if you have a history of depression drug and alcohol abuse bipolar disorder or even a self mutilation you can apply for a waiver and join the us military the decision was primarily due to the increased availability of medical records and other dates and which is now more readily available these records now army officials to better document applicant medical histories what's more important if you look at the reasons that the army is having trouble recruiting new soldiers the number of waivers for marijuana use have increased as well chief of staff mark milley says that the army should be between

five hundred forty thousand and five hundred fifty thousand but at this point it's only four hundred seventy six thousand active duty personnel people just aren't signing up many of today's youth. are. not inclined to want to leave their family and friends don't want to leave their relatives family and friends they opposed them joining the military service it was kind of sad to find out for me being a prior soldier that the american public when we did the research they thought of the army as the lower left hand quadrant and we joined the army because we had nothing else to do lowering the standards of recruitment makes sense but it does present some problems in two thousand and five the standards were lowered for similar reasons and as a result the level of basic education among troops dramatically decreased by two thousand and seven about thirty percent of america's fighting men and women did not have a high school diploma in two thousand and twelve the standards and restrictions went up but now once again there's a shortage of people in uniform so once again the rules are changing one of the

standards have been changing adjusted we've relaxed the standards too much in my opinion we have recruited very heavily in the volunteers were what i would call the lower middle class and the lower. last in our societies that are not wealthy in that there is a fact the wall into your memory. is very expensive to fund to educate to train and so on incursion and movement into the middle east the way we did in the afghanistan or iraq that took a heavy toll on are important the other states boast of having the most powerful military in the world but if you look at how far they're willing to go in lowering the standards of who can be recruited it seems there are fewer americans that want to be part of it. artsy york. police in the to reveal crime suspects not regular mention of discriminatory because it suggests

that the offense can be explained by a perpetrators nationality a colleague andrew farmer got a swiss politician and a muslim rights campaigner together all this they sparred over whether the move helps avoid potential racist backlash is all i ask so why the problem. 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 know if syria there are twenty six point five percent for in people that are doing fifty four percent of all criminal activities these are problems that need to be discussed on about political correctness it's not about hiding says to states in fact it's 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 individual instances of you know the nationality of

a particular perpetrator or suspect it will lead to more racism when you don't tell the nationalities another example switzerland has got one quater for in people and in our prisons to prisons there are seventy one percent of criminal activities done by foreign people so we have got a problem and it really isn't a solution to choose don't talk about it and don't mention it it's not really logical to mention just these incidental factors of somebodies nationality or other descriptions about them if it's not actually relevant to the crime based on your logic it should be also for peyton to tell the changer or d.h. so it should be also be a discrimination when the police say that a woman has murdered her husband so then it's discrimination to all women or it could be a discrimination when an older man makes a car accident that's not logical nationality a change or these are all relevant things to understand for the public what is

going on in cities we have got a right to know what's going on to talking about police ensuring proper transport is not sued of transparency as they as they described because. mentioning often as you see in mentioning. a particular person's nationality for example in a case where it's not actually integral and was not causative to the actual crime will skew people's perception of the reality we have to focus on our real problems and our problem is that free in people in switzerland are more criminal then swiss once that's a fact that's part of. the conversation went on notice this morning claims of widespread sexual misconduct in the us into tame industry continue to demand just appears to be hollywood's worst kept secret the hollywood sexual harassment scandals couldn't get worse i can't remember anything like this ever happening before in the film industry it is

a new one out every single day and the story is not done yet i mean we're still every day there seems to be a new disclosure you know among the latest claims now are that star trek george took a hit in appropriately with a male model in the early one nine hundred eighty s. birdies try to deflect those claims by pointing a finger at russia you know neal got more details from scenario car. well it seems like the u.s. can't go a day without mentioning russia and now in the latest george takei star trek star who i'm sure you've heard of is now attacking russia after very serious accusations of sexual assault ok spelled out i'd first rush blame for this how come well this seems like quite the stretch but in a deleted post attack a actually tweeted that russian bots were amplifying the allegations and now in the same tweet he posted a chart which showed that russian trolls were almost exclusively targeting him so apparently these so-called russian trolls have nothing better to do than spread

gossip but how do they actually trace it back to the russian vaults in this case well the source the alliance for securing democracy is entirely dedicated to tracking russian influence on twitter but in their methodology they explain that the six hundred accounts that they monitor aren't necessarily controlled by russia they also mention that not all content is created by russia but the majority of the content is created by third parties so what's been the reaction to this are people convinced by what the ca surprisingly you know instead of ramping up the russian hysteria they actually mocked his claim so this is quite the refreshing change from what we've seen in the past.

media on this lionel told us that jumping on the russian allegations by and we're going these days is going to go. he should have said that cling on to may have done it no he says russian box so let me get this straight they're going to get back at you by repeating something which apparently may or may not be true to make song some stranger and some cryptic association with some has been star trek actor or naturalisation this forty years old and all they're doing is repeating a lie cordy neo allegations made by someone else who benefits from this who is going to say yes george tech guy yes yes and it's

patently absurd and there's also goes this notion of how does this russian interference work does anybody ever stop with ask what is this mean one who is believing this the story doesn't even make any sense. the far right nationalist march in poland praised by some in the country's patriality it has drawn severe condemnation of broad israel's foreign ministry called it dangerous and instigated by extremists and racists as they put it saying poland must take action is video from the march on saturday to go to the. to the it was. well pogroms foreign ministry said that it condemns racism but nevertheless has defended saturday's march calling it a peaceful manifesto of truths apart from banners reading pew blood and white

europe the rally participants also a chance that the summit explosions calling for jews to be expelled from poland we discussed issues writer and political commentator of interest in. i think the government of his row and other western governments should take a note that these polish demonstrators who really express their hatred towards everybody everything and trying to revive certain fascist movements we should exist in poland before second world war this people present a real threat to europe to world stability this is a dangerous dangerous stance not for the jews by the way they're on a three thousand jews in poland so i mean i don't know how who they want to expel and how it's a danger or for europe there is brown color is becoming more and more popular there. mitali the racial divide in the united states

has been exploited by a group of activists who troll the university campus with posters declaring it's ok to be white a move that offended both students and teachers with more on the miguel front is the argo. but an identified bunch of people have been plastering signs and stickers like these in neighborhoods and campuses across america claiming it's ok to be white wow one of the vice of comparing the nation is in shambles blake really shocked that someone like had the guts to do this because it's like we try to promote diversity so much but see in the melting pot that is america everyone is always proud of their heritage you have the african heritage studies you have the hispanic black jewish heritage months cultural appropriation movements and so on but these people who want to publicly state that there is nothing to be ashamed of being white are hiding their faces so much for diversity hard law school will not

let that happen here would leave well see and learn together in a community that is stronger. because of our diversity we are taking this seriously and are investigating this incident this may be part of a concerted national campaign to form a racial and political tension in our school and community but who would even come up with this crazy idea the ford chair and chat room the so-called troll kingdom these guys have been responsible for spreading trends and movements whose purpose was one thing only trolling and about two weeks ago they again initiated just that they asked their followers to spread this poster with very carefully crafted guidelines such as a no way coming in contact with the left keeping a polite not aggressive font and no vandalism among a few other pointers amazing now isn't it four chan created another obvious

trolling complain with the purpose of exposing many people's sensitivities making them act a little crazy towards a flyer. put it out there publicly to say hey we're going to talk to use people and see how they react the media knows it but these do react anyway because they think that this act is so reprehensible well before five letters on a regular sheet of paper is just going to destroy the whole world well separately a writer in the new york times questions whether it's right for his children to be friends with white people we talked to political commentator anthony bryan logan who blames the media for exaggerating the racial conflict in the country but i think the racial problem is overblown and often is really that many racial problems in the united states many other problems that people think that we face are just appreciated by people in the media like the guy who wrote the article in a new york times and many others most people pretty much get along there is some separation of people but there just is basically

a long cultural lions that could be within races as well so it was not so much about this big racial division there is some racial tension but i think the media who wants to have that be the normal thing they push it in some people unfortunately fall into it. a british school teacher has been suspended after praising his students joshua sutcliffe congratulated his math class by say well done girls that upset one people who now identifies as male the teacher insists he apologized immediately in the says it was all an accident the student in question. came in did very well and then i said well done girls you started really well and i was met with a fierce rebuttal. and i sincerely apologize. i then found out six weeks later that i was going to be under investigation for a mis gendering within the community and initially for one day that transpired to

be two days and then three days and then it's now been six days where i've been sat in a in an office not being able to teach my math lessons well george sure also told us he believes he's been singled out by the school over his religious beliefs i think i've been bullied really for you know for who i am within the school setting up a bible club and then it being shut down with an iron fist really having so many people coming along to the bible club and being interested in the bible i feel like i've been discriminated against within the community and i think that's a trend. nationwide is that christians aren't able to. live out their faith in a professional setting well this incident speak talking point in britain right now as to whether the schools are overreacting or not or highlighting indeed a sensitive issue that needs careful handle it may be. this particular teacher

accidentally missed gender by calling a trans boy pupil a girl it was not intentional he hadn't meant to cause a phone so i think that his suspension is disproportionate i think that the school should obviously point out to him that he made a mistake which of course he doesn't solve recognize and then get his assurance that it won't happen again i think that is the end of the matter is absolutely stupid he called the girls girls because he thought it was a class of girls made an honest mistake and apologized that should have been the end of the matter this whole transgender agenda he's getting much much too much influence in the british media and embrace society there are very small minority i feel sorry for anyone who thinks they are trapped in the wrong body they should be treated with respect and tolerance but where is the tolerance for this man he's

a christian but of course you're not allowed to be a christian anymore are you in modern britain and see that he's done anything wrong actual and the majority of people in the u.k. i'm sure will agree with me. the venue for no shoes for will cup finals finishes big huge make over for the big showpiece of event in support of an up the grand reopening win of the luzhniki stadium here a moscow welcome to argentina to russia for a friendly match it finished one nil the south americans have to strike. a goal with anticipation building fast for the tall an r.t. spoke exclusively to the president of the argentine football association cloudier tapir to get his impressions about moscow and the twenty eight hundred fourth coming fifa world cup. and we believe that moscow is very well prepared it's

a beautiful city in all respects and very safe to we feel the hospitality it will host the world cup with this in my opinion is extremely important for the tournament to be successful. for them we have seen all the stadiums in the photos but they differ from the ones we have in south america undoubtedly in terms of infrastructure and comfort many there are very modern. honestly i had strange but very strong emotions that after all they had very simple qualifying matches for us to have been the first team to play at the opening of such a symbolic stadium is a great honor and also very exciting. yesterday for example we went to a restaurant then we had a chance to walk around when you come to russia you see

a very different picture no what you were told about being all sorts of dangers the fact that football players have the opportunity to go to a restaurant and stroll along the streets proves the opposite this city is very safe and the country is very safe. i'll pose of the latest of the museum so far this morning here in moscow it's been i would wish me a great day and thanks for watching us. politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to.

have to do like to be for us this is what before treatable can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters about how. this should. now i feel. yes. yes. yes. so much on the memphis.
