1:01 am
very good morning to you from all of us here in. austria is making the headlines all across europe amid. the newly formed coalition government the conservatives have joined forces with the immigration. crossing live. in. austria and i suppose the broader implications as well. well immediately what it means that at thirty one years of age sebastien curt's will be the next chancellor of austria that's after he and his conservative people's party were able to hammer
1:02 am
out a coalition deal with heinz christie in starker and his right wing anti immigration freedom party they'll go into government together with the with curt's as the the chancellor and straka as the vice chancellor what can we expect from this new coalition where we can expect direct democracy they've said more referenda will be will be put before the austrian people along the swiss model but one referendum they aren't going to get is going to be on whether austria would remain or leave the european union that's just not going to happen as we are at the moment we can expect tough the immigration controls particularly we're hearing things like mobile devices may be confiscated but from refugees and migrants the information held within those devices mind and trawl through to make sure that people who are right in austria are exactly who they say they are and have travelled from where they say
1:03 am
they've travelled from what we can also expect is an end to or at least a call for an end to e.u. ascension talks for turkey the new austrian government saying they don't see that as part of the future but what they do see though is an end to sanctions on russia . those. regarding the sanctions against russia yes we would like for those to be lifted we will try to play a part in this is a mediator able to find a solution in the interests of yours so europe and russia can overcome their differences. that's what someone called while this coalition agreement was needed after was that after there was no clear majority one in october's election and when you listen to what people on the streets of vienna have to say the decision to form this coalition between the conservatives and the far right well it's certainly split opinion of the of those in austria. and there are big things he hears keep
1:04 am
that's what i think we have since before it was trump and brags that in england and i think that i was freshly taking it and i really don't think it's going to get. throughout europe there's a return to the far right and you can see this in germany as well with the f.t. got a lot of votes and if someone speaks about the refugee crisis you get the impression that this could have been handled better. on the good norman i think the far right are correct that they're working for the people doing what people who wants them to do so i am in favor i am happy with the situation all those twenty seventeen comes to a close it's really been a year that the far right across europe has has seen some gains if we look here in germany or i'm speaking to you from the alternative but germany party well they entered the bundestag for the first time in the german parliament elsewhere over in the netherlands get villegas pushed hard at the beginning of the year in the dutch elections in an attempt to. challenge for the prime minister's role in that country
1:05 am
and then in france the front national's marine le pen was of course the the closest content or to a manual mark on in the french presidential elections but it's a bust ian curtis has gone better than any of those as he will head up this government they contained far right elements and say with the the freedom party of austria joining in there as well there will be an inauguration the swearing in ceremony set to take place later this morning in vienna but there's also a number of demonstrations planned throughout monday in austria be keeping an eye on how this develops throughout the day of course here on r.t. any of the latest i guess i'll be bringing to you life. thank you. we spoke with a professor at the dresden technical university who believes the e.u. will have to reconcile itself with a new coalition government in austria. west european governments take any
1:06 am
significant actions against this new or strong government because on the one hand rajan populism has been growing in all these countries and the self-confidence of europe centrist and leftist governments has been shattered by this rise off rightwing populism and on the other hand the form a coalition between the p. and the. did not harm to europe north goes through nor were they any policy stake which are contradictions to humanitarian and rule of law standards in the european union to full european governments don't see any reason for harsher strictures and even sanctions right now. and saying in austria where a local has unexpectedly fallen foul of the infamous burqa ban in the country the man was pulled over by police in vienna as his white beard was covering most of his face.
1:07 am
the law on concealing faces has been enforced in austria now since october but the santa in question was detained on his way from one st nicholas day celebration to
1:08 am
another you may now face a fine of one hundred fifty euros his lawyer though believes there are no grounds for prosecution i think such cases happen maybe almost every week my client is working as a santa claus every year and he loves children and loves to help people who will be going around and has a lot of appointments on each day in kindergartens and schools and places like that it was just kind of provocation and a confession of failure in my legal point a few this incident is not a political by the law because he was in his private car he had not covered the face there was no reason even to take of for example his red frock. donald trump to roll out his national security strategy on monday is designed to transform his america division into a guide for diplomatic corps the military and intelligence agencies and the plan
1:09 am
promises a new approach to key security issues however an early preview shows it has a lot in common with the priorities of trump's predecessors as daniel hawkins now investigates. geopolitics are back and back with a vengeance that's according to national security adviser general mcmaster at least is the summary of president trump's new national security strategy but what could it really look like and what could change from the previous the big four plus one was the catchphrase for obama's blueprint the challenges of the day being north korea iran china and russia plus terrorism the rogue regime in iran threatening the region and causing so much of violence and chaos across the middle east and north korea. make it work for it to the united states rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself not much has changed with the first two then apart
1:10 am
from a ramping up of pressure on rhetoric the other two are a little more complex and china bashing formed a large part of trump's election campaign and foreign policy believe can't continue to allow china to rape our country money. and i want china dictating to me although it seems business does come before politics the relationship developed by. most of the users there is a tremendous view and i think we have. made tremendous progress. with china. but sources familiar with the new strategy say china will remain labeled a dangerous competitor both military and economic with a far tougher stance to be implemented unlike the obama administration which sought a warmer relationship with beijing russia similarly been a topic of contention for trump pre-election there was
1:11 am
a desire on his part to improve a strained relationship would be nice if we actually get along with russia would be nice i mean this is something grow fast forward a matter of months the russian issue became a nightmare for the president accusations investigations and p.r. problems the e-mail detailed an effort to arrange a meeting between top trump officials and russian president vladimir putin during the campaign the top republican in the united states senate republican mind you says it will investigate whether russian hackers tried to help donald trump win the election there is the robert miller special counsel investigation into the russian attack on our election and whether the trump campaign colluded and according to macmaster russia as a revisionist state is a threat targeting the u.s. with new generation warfare this should please trunk critics accusing him of kremlin collusion but if this is a change in foreign policy the reaction and with the defeat of islamic state on the
1:12 am
battlefields of syria and iraq by russian and coalition forces a key question will be what's next for counter-terror corp when those you deem partners on one front labeled adverse or is on another we discussed new national security plan with strategic analyst gregory copley the things that are among the list of threats the president had to keep russia were there due to political pressure. the national security paper reemphasize russia as a strategic threat well unfortunately yes it will largely because of the media and opposition pressure which which has always claimed that he did a deal with moscow in order to help his election campaign so he has to appear to be sure to even handedly against russia and to raise russia as a potential adversary once again yes there are points of difference between the united states and russia but the reality is that as i said that president trump
1:13 am
will need to and does want to work with moscow on some global issues particularly the middle east but most importantly against the people's republic of china. bitcoin a set a new record high of twenty thousand dollars per however the cryptocurrency is not just attracting the attention of financial speculators but now also e.u. regulators who are unhappy and it's and then the maty artie's who has details. what may be the most appealing feature of cryptocurrency is now under threat their opinion has agreed to tackle the anonymity of cryptocurrency holders and cities now the e.u. say the measures will be part of a larger package needed to tackle tax evasion and so far it's been welcomed by europe's justice commissioner who has hailed the decision as a breakthrough two days agreement will bring more transparency to improve the

prevention of money laundering and to cart off terrorist financing but here's a breakdown of what these measures actually mean or uses the term cryptocurrency as well how that peson identity revealed what else if you've got to have to amounts of crypto currency loaded on a prepaid debit cards the use of this will be limited as authorities will also have greater access to information including national bank account registers and if anyone can demonstrate a legitimate interest in the crypto currency markets you will be granted access to what's have a data you need these measures are interesting you especially considering the bank of england step governor said bitcoin was too small to pose a threat to the global economy in a recent interview he likens bitcoin to a product rather than money this is not a currency in the accepted sense there's no central bank that stands behind it for me it's much more like a commodity from the governor's insights to the eyes of world bank many
1:15 am
a questioning the potential threat of crypto currency adds to the global economy now more than as a as the value of bitcoin continues to say perhaps the rise of brought change technology is threatening a very old and established business model of the financial sector if we have something that decentralizes the money supply and threatens the business model of the banks of course that's going to be pushback against is any crackdown on all right prophecy of the internet is always always has an excuse that it's trying to stop money laundering always tries. terrorism paedophiles or whatever yes sure criminals are going to use this but criminals already use banks i mean so many banks have been caught out money laundering of all scales and have received vast fines for gray and black money from the drug trade. perhaps we should say you should close down our banks to this fair hasn't gone unnoticed by the bitcoin community wiki leaks founder julian assange gave his backing to the virtual

1:17 am
close down and just move somewhere else where they're not going to have these type of restrictions placed upon them. this is really these restrictions are unnatural to cryptocurrency it's a different type of system so. it's an open question as to what will happen but i suspect that a lot of people will just not do business through the e.u. it is all too international still many stories coming your way on today's program including turkey's president otoh on announcing that well he intends to open an embassy palestine in east jerusalem will give you the details on that. would make this manufacture consent to stick to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final.

security council will reportedly vote on monday on a draft resolution that would reject donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as the israeli capital but the move is likely to be vetoed by the united states meanwhile turkey's leader has his own strategy to confront trump's decision announcing plans to open an embassy to palestine in east jerusalem as maria financial reports here we are in is jury still in the part of the state to considered by palestinians to be their territory so in this status may be supported by turkey now and kyra has a general consulate here but the country's president is now saying he wants to open an embassy here. we've already declared east jerusalem as the capital of the palestinian state but we haven't been able to open our embassy there because jerusalem is currently under occupation god willing we will open our embassy there . the turkish leader has been reacting fiercely to donald trump's controversial
1:20 am
recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel slamming other nations for a weak response mr aragon appeared to be speaking home behalf of the muslim world when he claimed if we lose jerusalem then we won't be able to protect me dina if we lose medina we will lose mecca and caba the organization of islamic cooperation held an emergency meeting in istanbul weight called on the international community to commit to making east jerusalem their palestinian capital. the us decision on your use of them because of the great fires against the historical and permanent rights to palestine. jerusalem see the united states the solution to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel is a dangerous one it will strengthen security and stability and frustrates efforts to resume the peace process yet as a mayor all every possible step must be taken to prevent the implementation of this illegal action by the u.s. administration however there is one question that sticks out here what factors and

eleven months made it possible for the u.s. president's trip to take such an outrageous act and it's not just moved to mation is reacting to the u.s. recognition of jerusalem with a violent protest all over the globe the u.n. security council is now reportedly considering a draft resolution to abolish trumps decision that's following an emergency session requested by eight out of the fifteen member states it is highly unlikely that the resolution like this could pass through the security council with america of course one of five permanent members with the tow powers. from jerusalem however it could be difficult for the one to carry out the move as the entire city is controlled by israel which calls it its indefensible capital to receive them doesn't currently host any foreign embassy hussein back from the middle east technical university. he believes the ones move has a lot more to do with domestic ambitions and promises to other muslim states.

turkey can do it brother once again. i don't know that. turkey can do it in the foreseeable future but that lancet month is given as such for domestic consumption so first of all the under second he's promises to do the stomach organization conference. more of the capital city of the palestinian state but of the promise to more want to satisfy probably the turkish. also gives some hope for the conference organisation but i do not expect that turkey can do it without understanding of. from the advertising standards authority give examples of the kind of campaigns it now beamed unacceptable and not get to pick family members creating a maxwell

a woman has sole responsibility for creating a tap or not that implies a specific activity is inappropriate for boys because it's usually associated with goals over there or an act that depicts a man trying and failing to undertake simple parental or household tasks are always the at regulated to make sure the advertising doesn't make or offend a key argument behind the new rules is that gender stereotypes can influence the way children grow up the report highlights the fact women are often portrayed during the household chores such as cleaning however so far the regulations have only been outlined in a more specific set of guidelines has yet to be drawn up. i don't see what's wrong with a child that is drawn to i mean it is a predisposition whether we like it or not the children often drawn to toys that are their preferential which are boys go to boys toys girls go to girls toys is just the way it is but i don't know the bunny noun verb is going to create the next

scientist i think that if you want to create scientists they have an education it's called to do that well it's not really a question of what message consumers are picking up it's really a question of what message wider society is picking up you know advertisers are obviously influencing our young child not picking these things up much more from the environment than from something innate and magical within them that actually we need to give young children the broadest range of possible ideas for them those ideas that girls are you know should have dolls and boys should have trains are picked up by sheer research and yes sire him as research suggests. just different research suggesting the known gender stereotyping is simply the act of presenting women as suitable for a certain set of roles and men are suitable for a different set of roles it seems quite obvious to me that in twenty eighteen the time has come to move beyond that. i grew up with them and i as a mom i had two children christmas will come around i did go in the kitchen i would
