the special live. there is no evidence of kremlin meddling in council lumia that's the message from spain's prime minister in response to claims of russian involvement in the region's independence referendum also coming up this hour. russia's actions which threaten the international border on which we. the u.k. prime minister calls on europe to unite against this so-called russian threat in a speech her critics say is designed to deflect attention from the struggling breaks. facing immense pressure from the u.s. justice department this channel is forced to register as a foreign agent in america we'll take a look at what that means for our. just

after seven am indel is ten pm in tokyo and four in the afternoon here in moscow this choose the november fourteenth welcome to our international our top story this hour of spain's prime minister has said there is no evidence that the russian government interfered in cats alone is independence referendum the comment comes in response to claims in the media that moscow was attempting to meddle let's get more in this joint. from london and see it tell us more about what actually led to these comments well you know as if we haven't seen enough attempts recently to try to drag russia in certain events unraveling in the west lately we've seen attempts to try to implicate russian activity even in the capsule and crisis

despite this year long standoff between years long standoff between barcelona and madrid really newspaper headlines from around the world have to. more excitement about potential russian meddling yet again for instance a big spanish newspaper el pais certainly seem to have dedicated lots of attention to russia despite this being obviously a national crisis we've seen also this week in brussels some spanish officials trying to talk to their e.u. partners on this topic discuss the possibility of russia haven't carried out some kind of decent destabilisation activity when it comes to the cattle our a friend on and the events that unraveled afterwards however we have seen high ranking officials such as the high representative for the u. of the e.u. for foreign affairs federica marini as well as nato secretary general even not comment on these issues following those meetings and of course the spanish prime

minister himself marianna rahowa a said that there is no proof let's take a listen i have no data which can be used as evidence on the involvement of the russian government nothing well we've heard similar message come from the spanish foreign minister as well so now with these high profile comments being made by spanish politicians hopefully this topic will have exhausted itself and spain will be able it will be able to move forward in actually solving the biggest crisis to touch this nation in a generation bring this right up to date from london. thank you. you all britain's prime minister has joined the band wagon making a major topic of a twenty minute speech mentioning is eight times. chief among those today of course is russia but it is russia's actions russia's illegal

annexation of crimea so i have a very simple message for russia because we know there's a strong and prosperous russia russia has the reach and the responsibility russia can russia does not all the british p.m.'s message comes on the back of a tough week for her domestically treason may continues to be hounded by m.p.'s over her braids and negotiations which are seemingly yet to yield any real positives for the u.k. so much so that the e.u. is chief breaks in the go shitters sees he won't rule out a new deal scenario meaning breaks it talks could collapse entirely the pressure is also building on may with rumors that forty m.p.'s are reading a letter of no confidence now that number is just a short of the required total to force a new leadership election within her conservative party we discuss the p.m.'s predicament with party veteran and former government minister peter lilley he believes her speech wasn't just directed at moscow. as much

a message to europe because it was to russia it was 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 heman we don't like each other's regimes we are natural allies. after facing months of pressure from washington r.t. america has now been forced to register as a foreign agent in the us with more on what that means for the channel here's

a look at the trend. just think about it r.t. america is now officially a foreign agent in the us eighty years after far came into being our us branch registered under the foreign agents registration act which dates back to the times before the second world war back then the purpose was to make sure that no minds of u.s. citizens are influenced by organizations funded by nazi germany whatever was the purpose of the u.s. department of justice in the twenty first century they said at deadline for r.t. america r.t. america chose to meet that deadline because nobody wants to be in trouble with u.s. law enforcement so let's just take a look at some of the things that our u.s. branch could now be obliged to do all the time for example that is attaching a public disclaimer to every piece of information that gets sent out or filing

a copy or a version of it to the u.s. department of justice within forty eight hours of transmission and i'll tell you that it will take a long time to adjust to the still reality and even to figure out whether it is possible in the first place does that mean that every tweet that gets posted by america requires a disclaimer does our channel in the u.s. now have to send all its tweets to the u.s. department of justice many experts have argued that in the twenty first century with the current social media output which is normal for all news organizations it is simply impossible although this cracked out on r.t. america has been ignored largely by those who you would expect to speak on the issues with freedom of speech and didn't go completely unnoticed take the committee to protect journalists that's a new york based ngo they were very critical of the ultimatum said by the u.s. department of justice and here's bits of their statement compelling to register

under far as a bad idea we're on comfortable. with governments deciding what constitutes journalism or propaganda and you may well argue that the us authorities are applying double standards here take china as. america that is operating in the us without any issues then the us version of al-jazeera was there for a few years all perfectly fine and i won't be lying if i say that here at r.t. we are waiting for more critical reaction both from individuals and geos when it comes to russia's retaliation it is still work in progress the lawmakers are working on it but we just heard. the russian foreign minister once again say that steps and response will be taken. measures mean adequate measures you may come up with difference to the president already sent our reaction will be swift and strong so let's be patient the question now is which media outlets will be affected by

this retaliation previously russian official said that it could be american based media or media organizations that are directly funded by the us government think voice of america or the life of c.n.n. the video channel that is operating in russia called current time and also radio free europe slash radio liberty dow here's something important in order for these news outlets to become foreign agents in this country russia's own legislation requires amendments and currently the m.p.'s are sorting this out we also heard from the vice for the duma he says that according to the drafted amendment news agencies will not be touched but if a news organization is not a news agency but it's from any other country not only the u.s. or if it gets funding from abroad it may find itself on the list of foreign agents in russia. well just to remind you the pressure on our two began after u.s.

intelligence claimed dirt channel was an instrument for meddling manipulation in america but in september the justice department then demanded we register as a foreign agent social media then began blocking our adverts on google you tube twitter they did the head of testimony in congress despite having no problem with our prior to the well on the list we've spoken to believe the measures against american money to a deflection tactic on an unwillingness to acknowledge domestic problems well let's delve a little bit deeper into this because george galloway broadcaster former you can p. is standing by to speak to it's nice to have you on the program george why is r.t. facing such unprecedented pressure a media organization from the u.s. government being forced to register as a foreign agent your thoughts. well it's a dark and dangerous path and we don't know how far the path will no go it is

branding of journalists as agents and that's very dangerous of course for the safety of journalists in many hot spots and difficult parts of the world you mentioned in your package there are the al jazeera america was broadcasting freely and openly for many years in the u.s. even though the political lion of al-jazeera in places like syria for example was deeply deeply deeply controversial to say the very least and if we're going to brand one group of journalists and broadcasters foreign agents then inevitably all journalists will be branded by somebody as a foreign agent so i'm not surprised the committee to protect journalists in new york city have made the statement that they have no this was all think amusing and

ridiculous for a time but it's now as i see heading into a dark place the british prime minister just hours ago made similar noises unexpectedly no one was expecting the statement that she just made but if you follow the logic of the path that many british parliamentarians are now on well tourism a is the prime minister because of russia after all if putin fixed breasts it and bricks it dished cameron then treason is the prime minister because of the russians i tell you what if that turns out to be true i for one will never forgive you. it's it in terms of what's happening in the us to which it is hard not to look at the question is there a concerted effort to push our t. out of the u.s. because i'll remind our viewers r.t. has been removed from you choose premium package in the u.s. it's also been blocked from advertising on twitter another is. well

despite the fact that both google the congress and the other admitted the r.t. russia had broken none of the rules on the platform but this package has not been yet reinstated on you tube yes of course except that in the twenty first century seventeen years almost eighteen years in you can't actually block coverage you can't block people consuming coverage in the in the modern world but you can make it more difficult and that seems to be where the u.s. and maybe even do you king is headed but again you see with the twenty first century psychology the book they try to ban always goes to the top of the bestsellers list and the more difficult they try to make it the more popular r r t

is becoming people where as a kind of badge maybe i should get a bad guy i'm a foreign agent might become trendy it might well backfire on the which underlies the the people who are doing their best to destroy the very freedom of speech and expression they claim to stand for dorry said thanks for taking the time to offer your thoughts on this today george galloway broadcaster and former u.k. n.p. . british teachers in trouble for saying well done to his pupils the details and reaction right after this. good. move. when all the troops seem wrong on one

old rule just don't hold. the world to get to shape out this day you can stick up to it and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. here's what people have been saying about redacted and this is. the only show i go out of my way to find you know what it is the really packs of. yap is the john oliver of r t america this is a. fairly better than. see people you've never heard of redacted the night. president of the world bank very. seriously send us an e-mail.

you're back with the r t international thousands of people in yemen have lined the capital streets in protest against this blockade of the country last week riyadh introduced a full blockade closing all access by. the saudi led coalition entered the civil war in twenty fifteen supporting the government against the rebels its blockades have left millions starving and has led to what's been called the deadliest outbreak of cholera in recent history after pressure from the united nations human rights groups the saudis claimed on monday that they would roll back the blockade to a partial one again however human rights watch say that claim is a form of quote cruel fiction explaining the ports that riyadh will reopen are not enough to provide essential supplies of food and of medicine so it will

continue with the partial blockade to until it's convinced there's no flow of weapons from iran going to rebels well the civil war in yemen is seen by middle east analysts as a proxy war between saudi arabia and iran. looks at whether the current cold war between the region's most powerful countries could lead to full scale conflict. 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 me out earlier this month has already got the saudis talking about direct aggression and war the coalition's c'mon 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 are not strong enough to do that 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 is 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 terence 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 prince. 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 not been so it 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. a british school teacher has been suspended after

praising his students joshua sutcliffe congratulated his muffed class by saying well done girls but that upset one pupil who identifies as meal the teacher insists he apologized immediately and say's it was 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 missed 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 or joshua also told us that

he believes he is being 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 the incident is a big talking point in britain right now as to whether the schools overreacting or highlighting a sensitive issue that needs careful handling this particular teacher accidentally missed. 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. 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 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 venue for next year's football world cup final has finished its make over for the big issue peace of fent in sport the grand reopening of the luzhniki stadium in moscow welcomed argentina to russia for a friendly match over the weekend it finished one nil to the south americans after striker sergio aguero grabbed a late goal with into submission bowling fast for the tournaments spoke exclusively to the president of the argentine football association claudio tapia to get his impressions about moscow on the twenty eighteen feet for world cup. and when i think in moscow is prepared it's a beautiful city in many ways very safe but the most important thing is that you feel the hospitality with which it is ready to host the world cup another important thing is that it's very calm out here despite all the refer bushman to create

better infrastructure for the tournament. for us it was an honor to be the first national team to play at the reopening of such a symbolic stadium we were very excited about this undoubtedly it is one of the best stadiums there is i've been travelling a lot of seen a lot and i was always amazed by how modern and well constructed stadiums are but this is one of the best. and so it happens because of the important role that russia plays on the international stage today i think that this is the reason russia is being criticized we have competed in many world cups sometimes playing on american football pitches there are cases when the stadiums are painted right before the game but here seven to eight months prior to the championship and we see that everything is ready for the world cup you can see that the work began as soon as they announced it was hosting the event is the first thing you notice. it has already started in the

lead up to the world cup after the draw when everyone learns in which city the national team movie playing everything here as well as in the other countries taking part will change. after the teams arrive the atmosphere will get more intense but when they will stop playing everything will be completely different. every city will be filled with fans with plenty of emotion the world cup is something special there are people who attend every tournament to support their teams and enjoy the moment soon we will be able to feel that. we're just talking about attendance almost eighty thousand people went to that friendly match between russia and argentina here so i think it's safe to say football fever is catching on that is all the news for me this hour i'll see you again in thirty minutes time with all the global headlines they want us.

to. play for many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school in the families it's the age of the superman to kill you narrowness and spending to the twenty million why. it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful game but great so what more chance for. peace. yes. but. the.

kids. does she don't consume don't judge and they can do a little joke on their own for saying i'm going to assume in that equal distances muslims are what equals distance me back. because i don't we don't see don't name the. movie back to those putting in as a serious assault on a solid us into all the sitting on. the.
