russia's actions which threaten the international order on which we all head the british prime minister calls on europe to unite against the so-called russian threat in a speech critics say is designed to draw fire from a struggling brooks's negotiations pulling out this morning also from towards the rhetoric and proxy conflicts intensify between iran and saudi arabia look at what might be unleashed if they resorted to a military solution. and their warnings over the u.s. army's latest move to boost recruit numbers by relaxing the rules and listing people with a history of serious mental health. of

the morning is true to the fourteenth of november year of moscow i'm kevin o. and good morning earl and welcome to this latest live thirty minute news update from r.t. international the british prime minister is calling to unite against russia and its supposed threat to the continent to reason may accuse moscow of military aggression election 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 a financier is in the city generally is about the lack of progress in the brig's 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 her 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 the bundestag 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 the old scapegoat which is russia the same thing is now happening in britain where a prime minister who is facing an almost certain end of a brief career in power is now bringing out the old scapegoated. noting the british p.m.'s message comes on the back of a tough week for her domestically the go cia sions continued to be criticized by parliament members yet have nailed it any real positives for the u.k. so much so that the ease cheap rates at the go see it announces he won't rule out

a no deal scenario meaning that breaks it talks could collapse entirely pressures also clamping down on trees it may with rumors that forty parliament members of reading a letter of no confidence and that number is just a short right now of the required total to force a new leadership election within a conservative party we discussed my situation with former conservative m.p. peter lilley he believes that his speech last night was meant more as a message to brussels in fact 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. elsewhere in the world the storming of thousands of people in yemen of lined the streets of its capital in protest against the saudi led blockade of the country last week riyadh introduced a full blockade on yemen closing all access by arab seat of the country to lead coalition into the civil war back into the fifteen at the time supporting the ost government against to the rebels its blockade since serve left millions starving and has led to what's been called the deadliest outbreak of cholera in recent history however after pressure from the united nations and human rights groups the saudis claimed on monday that they'd roll back the blockade on a partial to a partial one at least but human rights watch say it's a form of crude thick shin as they described it expose a form of crude thick shin as they described it explaining the ports that will

reopen old enough anywhere near it to provide essential supplies of food or medicine so the arabia says it will continue with its partial blockade until it's convinced there is no flow of weapons from iran going to who's the rebels now that civil war in yemen is seen by middle east experts in fact as a proxy war between saudi arabia and iran are to jacqueline next looks at whether this current cold war between the region's most powerful countries could in fact lead to a full scale conflict on the line. 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 joe you know the mites in position of the public people more powerful than you have been unable to

do anything against the iranian people you're not strong enough to do that wherever 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 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 talking about the crown prince well. you know he's just about ready to do. 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 the how far will have been solomon 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 widening its recruitment pool by allowing people with a history of serious mental illness now to enlist but psychiatrists warn it could cause further harm to vulnerable recruits kalam opens got the story. mental 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 creased availability of medical records and other dates which is now more readily available these records on the officials to better document applicant medical histories what's more important if you look at the reasons is 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 they 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. glasson or societies that are not wealthy in that there is a fact the wall into your memory. is very expensive 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 room where should the united 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 swiss city of zero keeping told not to reveal crime suspects nationalities to the

media in case it leads to discrimination regular mention of nationality in police reports is discriminatory because it suggests that the offense can be explained by a perpetrator's nationality a colleague andrew farmer got a swiss politician than an a muslim rights campaigner together all this they sparred over whether the move helps avoid potential racist backlash is old mosque so wide a 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 quarter for in people and in our prism it's 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 payton to channel the changer or d.h. so it should be also be 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 suitable transparency as they as they described it 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 that was not causative to the actual crime will skew people's perception of the reality and we have to focus on our real problems and our problems is that furry in people in switzerland are more criminal then swiss once that's a fact that's not a fact. and the conversation went on thanks for watching out international smalling lot more to come after an eighty second break a british teach is in trouble for saying well done to his pupils the details and

reaction when we come back. make its manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling class is protect themselves. in the final merry go round. the one percent. in all middle of the room sick.

morning is going ok so is the same for break story next part of british school teachers being suspended after praising his students joshua sutcliffe congratulated his math class by saying well done girls but that upset one pupil who now identifies as male the teacher insists he apologized immediately and says it was a woman accident the student in question. came in did very well and then i said well then girls 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 missed gendering within the community and italy 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 the in an office not being able to teach my math lessons josh are also told that he believes he's been singled out by the school because of 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 are able to. live out their faith in

a professional setting well this instance big talking point right now in britain as to whether or not the schools overreacted or if it's highlighting a sensitive issue that actually these careful handling. 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 obvious to the point out to him that he made a mistake which of course he doesn't 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 in british 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 i don't see that he's done anything wrong actual the majority of people in the u.k. i'm sure will agree with me. the time claims are voiceprint sexual misconduct in the us into table to destry continue to mount. just appears to be how it works worst kept secret the hollywood sexual harassment scandals couldn't get worse i can't remember anything like this ever happening before in a 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 among the latest claims now that star trek george takei acted

inappropriately with a male model back in the 1980's but he's trying to deflect those claims by pointing the finger at russia you know neil's got more details on the from samir a 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 would first rush blame for this how come well this seems like quite the stretch but in a deleted post take 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 you actually trace it back to the russian boats 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 explained 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 he had to say 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. there is a question of why you will media on this line or says that jumping on the russian

allegations bandwagon these days is. 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 naturalization that's forty years old and all they're doing is repeating a lie courteney you 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 this also goes to this notion of how does this russian interference work does anybody ever stop and ask what is this mean one

who is believing this this story doesn't even make any sense. a far right nationalists march in poland praised by some of the countries patriotic has drawn severe condemnation from abroad israel's foreign ministry called it dangerous and instigated by extremists and racists saying poland must take action check out this video from the march on saturday to go. to the. polish foreign ministry said that it condemns racism but nevertheless has defended saturday's march calling it a peaceful manifesto of patriots apart from banners reading pew blood than white europe the rally participants also chanted out his semitic slogans calling for jews to be expelled from poland we discuss the whole big issue they're kicking off potentially with the right term political commentator of

a door escott he is. 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 which existed 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 there are only 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. the racial divide in the united states has been exploited by a group of activists who've been trolling school campuses with posters declaring

it's ok to be white movements offended both students and teachers wore on it miguel francis said they are go. 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 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 when i see and learn together in the 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 non-aggressive font and no vandalism among a few other pointers amazing that was in it for 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 show 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 before five letters on a regular sheet of paper is just going to destroy the whole world that's the latest news from so far this morning here in moscow is kevin i am wishing you a great day and thank you for watching. yes. that. kid.
