french president emanuel macklemore pulls for military action against human traffickers in libya despite the chaos caused by the last intervention there. and we're just an hour away from the draw for the twenty eighteen feet for world cup we'll bring you all of the latest from a special studio by the kremlin. this is r.t. international coming to you live from all across central moscow i'm kate partridge thank you for joining us. to the world cup later but first french president emmanuel micro has tabled a new plan to combat human trafficking in libya involving military action but his

plans have been widely criticized as the previous french led intervention in libya left the country in ruins as what had caused the of explains. slavery and human trafficking of violent offenses sadly common now in libya but no need to fear president macron is here he has the solution for libya's problem send in the troops it's a new city zone we're proposing police military action we are not waging war but this is a country in a political transition political transition he calls it does sound better than savage civil war more politically correct nevertheless a number of african and e.u. states are ready to help fight this war or rather not really a war says micron but a military operation still round two for france in libya. today

were intervening in libya we are intervening in order to enable the libyan people to choose their own destiny it must not be deprived of its rights by violence and terror the fact that slavery is so rampant in libya is because the country's army and political order were obliterated under nato bombardment six years ago since then libya has been stuck in a brutal and bloody political transition as president calls it or absolute chaos and anarchy as anyone out sward call it as long as it is a failed state the problem will come back as a failed state because the regime of cut off the top was not the mice regime nobody says that was destroyed by the french and the british together in two thousand and eleven so of course michael can do something now put it full reoccur. well the

problem of modern slavery is worse in africa well this is followed by asia and the pacific region with central asia and europe third while france itself has become a keen human trafficking hope that's according to a report from the u.s. state department it lists the country as a destination and transit point for men women and children subjected to forced labor and sex trafficking well we spoke to the vice president of the libyan presidential council and asked him about my calls plan for military action. we are going to be right but no. we cannot accept anything. to be done with our differences of opinion libyans should be the ones who do the action with the help of the lord to come up. with the right way to help them. do the right investments on that country for sure libya is not the country of

origin a democratic libya is a country of iran we are the libyan have already invest in africa and we want to see anybody talk of they were going to be first but the country of origin and to set up this immunity to stay with their loved ones would get from. a new poll conducted in the us has revealed an overwhelming majority of the country's millennial as want to assert political party caliber weapon spoke to young people on the streets of new york to find out why. in the us today it's democrats and republicans it's always been that way a two party system now some people might think that makes the country more stable but millennial seem to have a different perspective let's break down the millennial case against the two party system now sixty five percent say that the country is moving in the wrong direction and seventy one percent of them say that they're ready for a new third political party but wanting to see

a new political player in washington is nothing new according to the figures provided by gallup the number of americans who favor a third party has been increasing over the course of the last five years in two thousand and twelve it was only forty six percent but in two thousand and sixteen it was up to fifty seven percent now you rarely hear about it but third parties have actually been around in american politics since the nineteenth century now why is it that in all these years an independent political faction has never been able to take the white house well maybe it has something to do with the fact that mainstream media is working overtime to keep people marching behind the elephant and the donkey so you can understand the all human going to throw a party kind of that can put a new issue or new solution on the table but it is hard to make the case that that is what's happening here and get out of there kind of who we now know that third party candidates out there are very much not qualified either to experience or to knowledge now amid the growing disillusionment with the two major parties let's see if americans would really prefer a third option do you feel that the establishment parties represent your values i

feel they are to align like different things so i feel very independent of any. support for any party nominee depending. i think both sides are have valid. and valid thing to say in both sides stink sometimes not really honest i'm kind of further to the left than the democratic party has room for and there's nothing on the right for me if a viable third party emerged that was closer to your values would you support it. yeah i would i make sense but i know it's very hard for those type of parties to get out there yeah i would consider voting for a third party they represent my value is. i would if i had a chance yeah some people say if you vote for a third party you're throwing your vote away do you agree with them unfortunately the system has been rigged decides that it ends up being a wasted vote it shouldn't be and that's wrong i do think the way it's structured

right now but albeit you know local elections being on exception i think you are kind of throwing it away no i want to say that but i can see why some people see it that way expression when people say like i don't like bernie sanders losing a breeze sanish money is why he lost or something but i don't think anyone who voted for them is a loss and now is used in america grow alienated from the two major parties the question remains what new political grouping could fulfill the needs of the younger generation cable mop and artsy new york. for me wall street time oscar winning director oliver stone has been sharing his days without a on relations between america and russia stands latest documentary series and earlier this year gave a unique insight into vladimir putin's personal and professional life will start his new book which he's made it last go to promote it still is with his meetings with the russian president putin's rise to power and global relations. i am a person who has researched russia a bit i know

a bit about it i've been to russia many times actually since one thousand i came here for the first time to interview dissidents i was working on a movie in one nine hundred eighty two called the defiance and it was about the dissidents who were coming out of the psychiatric clinics but i try to stick to what i feel is the truth and i don't take i didn't say one false were true mr p. at all i didn't say what i meant when i said it when i said to him one of the i think one of the first things i said was it strikes me that you're the you're a son of russia as you know i pushed whatever people say i pushed him and certainly i could feel his irritation when i was pushing him hard on the democracy question on this the question of his succession and what's going to happen next year.

major oil producers around the world have extended their deal to cut production in an effort to rebalance the markets they will reduce their output until the end of next year well the decision follows talks between russia and opec members in vienna on the time supplies will be cut by one point eight million barrels a day the deal was struck a year ago and was initially due to explain next march well since the cuts began the benchmark price of crude oil known as brant has risen thirty percent to around sixty dollars a barrel well although the market was widely expecting the move opec will examine its progress next june energy experts told us that's because the concept put all importing countries on it. that's a good agreement and the green line or the green area between the boss and an optic countries allow to get some alarms so that's a common looks to us to be compatible and flexible in the same time and respect it

through the process and the other side that there is some waiting and observation while we was high water from importing countries for oil and this country's history and they are scared and afraid that prices coming tremendously raised. over eighty dollars before the made of two thousand and thirteen and this will be an issue for their economies and the same. madrid is taking precautions to ensure the apparent cooling of passions over cattle on independence continues the spanish government has introduced an unusual bond in barcelona targeting the city's financial means. premade helpful already down to yellow because it means freedom for all political prisoners it is the color of freedom.

he seems silly to me because yellow is just a normal color i think it's a desperate campaign by politicians trying to stop the independence movement in video it's complete nonsense. it's pointless everybody has already decided how they really were twenty first and that one changed a scene yellow or another color. you know you know they burned yellow got another color could be used that's just absurd. after the break we'll be live in red square with all the build up to the twenty eighteen world cup draw don't go away.

here's what people have been saying about redacted the night was to us actually just full on awesome well the only show i go out of my way to launch you know a lot of the really packed a punch to sleep yampa is the john oliver of hearty americans do the same we are apparently better than boobs to see people you've never heard of love back to the night my president of the world bank though they. were. seriously send us an

e-mail. everybody i'm stephen ball. hollywood guy suspects every proud american first of all i'm just george bush and r.v. news this is my buddy max famous financial guru just a little bit different i'm not. going to take your windows up with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the road have some fun meet everyday americans. and hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the great american people. that was selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings things to the chicken

hawks forcing you to fight the battle. for new socks trying to tell you that because of the public eye fell. off about advertising telling you i'm old enough to buy products. of a heart that we all want to watch. everything today is about the individual so it's so nice to be a little bit different and it's all about the team and i think it's. it's a quality that i study football players have maybe because we come from an amateur environment so we know that the other nations have that individual and more individual qualities than we have so we have to be collectively better than another .

welcome back in less than an hour the draw for the twenty eighteen fee for world cup progress underway all eyes will be on moscow stage kremlin palace where the star studded event is taking place. one of the ambassadors we've spoken to all of a big hole for the team manager of the german national team it's been absolutely the reason why for a signal around it's dropped so i dunno whether you can say mayo whether you can hear me i think you can but all of the greats in the good of going to the whole now we've spoken to some of the big names that we're going to be bringing you through the evening on i'll say neal but so you.

yes well. you can tell russia got you welcome to our studio right now in moscow the current just behind us that's where the big draw is going to be taking place in around an hour's time for now what will scene i don't mind being here one bit i just wish they were playing the football world cup in the winter that would be a fantastic level but hey this is how it is so the draws coming up we've been speaking to a lot of great people here who've come for this event celebrities or survey i pace first of all let's just start off with walter did good gorier know he's the former fever communications director he was effectively the right hand man. when he was spoke to me earlier about how he thinks preparations are going in even about who he fancies to lift the trophy. and you must have been to a few world cups in your in your time what have you made of russia's preparations.

there would have reduced the time in order the problems we had for the last world cup in brazil or was the stadiums not sure. that i think for you for the because issue because of the stadiums or the ready it's hard to play well i think in russia they're on time and that's good unless it is what we've been hearing consistently that the stadiums are pretty much ready so that's one of the biggest things going further than that johnny and frontino is said today in his opinion and this is quite a bold thing to say at this stage he thinks that this could be the best world cup ever no i mean that's promising a lot why would he do that you know. every every world cup is always the best because it's. so stupid if your job there is actually actually positive spin i think it's always you cannot compare the world cup so. brazil is different than it will be in russia and in qatar will be another world cup so i think to start to

to compare is difficult it's like comparing. potatoes but it will be an amazing experience for everybody and i think it will be the walcott little teams the small teams that's what i think what i mean it is significant isn't it because russia hasn't had a world cup before so it will have a different feel that different culture personality yes i think a lot of people russia is an unknown black box and so in a positive way they really want to combine not only for football at least world what i hear when i talk to people they really want to use this as a paternity to see something more than just football they want to go beyond football and just experience the culture of life here in russia. will you be rooting for today's draw i don't know i think you can joint nationality swiss actually you know that's difficult question. and it means that i can be absolutely

relaxed to. my dutch friends and by the word the u.s. you know they can just enjoy and see because we're not here but i have also a swiss past yes and i think switzerland belgium as the tiny. teams i think this is the moment i don't know why but i think seeing the games. you know the pressure always will be with the big nations brazil argentina germany of course and so it's a thing about how good you are mentally on i've seen a lot of games with the so-called small teams they're pretty good so there are a whole host of global footballing stars here for the draw some of them are actually taking part of the balls out of pots others are just. savor the atmosphere which is unique and we have managed to grab

a few moments with. which two or three it seems the feel of the favorites to win the tournament golf course. german team of the spanish team. the brazilian team but i think he's a good time for messi to do something new even more because he is the last the last chance or you know it's only for the first time since nineteen fifty i disappoint you know you as a as a former captain i'm so sad because you know for us he was a. big disaster but now to be honest with you is a good moment to come back stronger than before. i just feel england all shape you know perhaps if the world cup next year in russia the last couple of games i've seen they don't look for terrific korea has been

putting some youngsters in you know which didn't play too bad but then go in experience you know nothing i think they need experience badly when when you're in a can of tuna marsh. it's not you're a boy who's winning the world court. i would put a four foot from my i think in point of view like i said france england may be dealing not in their favor because you have to choose someone that the view i think spain using a great moment have to because brazil is playing really well we know germany would be very game germany is general they are always there they've been if they are not winning the cup they're in the second place it's in that if semifinals they are always fighting.

to be given and supportive enough to not support it so i think is a. big a big competition you know do the walk up is a very nice computers and it be can be different and i saying i hope the weather will be better. ok. we have our own team of course you don't say for the football we've got the great dane the goalkeeper fetus michael can you believe it thursday here in russia he gets to make with the president that's why he's the great dying also we've got our own folks in the box strike a stand cullimore they say that movement is the secret so good strike a new web site may be what endorser the red carpet has been checking out behind the scenes what's been happening ahead of the draw. and welcome to the media center here at the kremlin head of the draw on friday as you can see people having their photos taken with the famous trophy which will be given out at the luzhniki stadium
