will be a scapegoat that the a.n.c. can use to explain away its own failures nonetheless it certainly seems as if we are far away from restoring racial tensions in a country that has so much history mired in them poor asli reported earlier we did debate the proposed law here in alt. people do not own land in south africa legally white people out of ideas from europe in six inches to two they killed our people they stole our land all oppressed us all their land they have his land. taken from us by force and in many instances by must be all of us at the show at every game proving there was the black tribes of south africa that came from the north that is well documented. therefore the land is the position of the black tribes the only the first occupants of south africa were the korean the son so if they are argument. that should be there in the sons of the peasant like the

one who is now my opponent easier for a night in south africa and the land he in checked talking about equates son i am quite certain he can send my same name only time i ask him to say it he does it it can't because as a foreigner i even what it that day parliament is moving slow and politician we don't trust them they are using this lensing as a political a poll he stepped also addressing the issue of this legislation could actually be changed to satisfy the white farmers as well there's a lot of corruption involved and that's why the oprah's use of that was taken from people legally in the past to be returned to them is not going as it should go you see this in front of me that is the issue. if this goes on investment in this country would stop people won't invasion the country will go the same way as involved there won't be production and then we will have a big spring in south africa about food that's not available to the people of south

africa. following the florida school massacre the debate over gun control in the u.s. has come to a head with both sides of the divide resorting to some unconventional methods methods to get their message across among. latest example of the church in the u.s. state of pennsylvania held a somewhat unorthodox wedding ceremony the entire congregation as you can see was armed to the teeth with pistols and semiautomatic rifles the display of weapons was meant to show their willingness to defend their families and their right to carry guns however other gun owners are apparently falling out of love with their barrels and are destroying them on camera. and decided to. make sure this weapon will never be able to take a life the only way they can know for sure that this gun will never hurt anyone doesn't exist. i

just mean holes in everything now all of this stuff is only usable. meanwhile google has banned the word gun from a shopping search engine google says it's to protect users from possible harm but the unintended consequences have had some people up in arms. google wants to help keep people safe both online and offline so we don't allow the promotion of some products that cost damage harm or injury.

ok well let's return to syria now because a third russia sponsors humanitarian pause in eastern guta is underway during the previous two safety curried organized by russia came under heavy shelling from terrorists preventing civilians from leaving the district according to the russian run reconciliation center trapped residents are now asking for human rights groups to get involved the failed truce efforts provoked heated debate at the u.n. security council meeting. the fighting has not stopped the opposition groups operating in eastern good to have made clear their commitment to the ceasefire on the very first day the militants use the declared pause to stop an onslaught on the second day the same mortar shelling has continued including of the humanitarian corridor not a single person has left the danger zone. there were reports that the assad regime once again used chlorine gas as

a weapon i'm tired of asking this but do you understand how pointless a. would be to damascus to use chemical weapons both from a military and political standpoint whereas for the militants it would make perfect sense i think you understand this perfectly well but you persistently look for a pretext for an armed intervention. russia does not get unilaterally rewrite the terms of the resolution if russia is able to deliver a five pools let it deliver a twenty four hour one you wouldn't need your new book that was due in our western partners are portraying the situation as if the resolution applies only to damascus and to russia as if it all depends almost exclusively on the will of our country may i ask you what you have done to implement the resolution if any of you lifted a finger if you use your influence on those who you consider the moderate opposition have you persuaded them to lay down their weapons and release hostages

there been a large number of efforts to protect civilians in the area russia carries out a five hour humanitarian pars on a daily basis in the hopes of protecting civilians and allowing them to get out through the humanitarian corridor furthermore the un security council has passed a resolution calling for a thirty day cease fire now a letter was sent to the u.n. security council by some of the opposition and rebel groups saying that they would honor this u.n. resolution however at this point always three hundred civilians have been prevented from leaving due to the attacks they've experienced as they try to escape now the russian representative pointed out that these kind of humanitarian concerns and outrage were not being raised that while the liberation of iraq was taking place you would be because the americans. where were you when the u.s. coalition were leaving record where was your outcry it's been months since the terrorists were forced out of the city and it's still unfit for life. there was

quite clearly a gap in the international media in the way the different situations have been portrayed when the syrian city of raka and the iraqi city of mosul were being liberated by the u.s. led coalition and a lot of bombing was taking place so we heard u.s. leaders saying making statements to the effect that civilian casualties are just a fact of life. or a fact of life so it was quite a heated exchange at the united nations but all parties agree that the lives of civilians in eastern guta is key if however there's quite a disagreement about who's responsible for the circumstances in the situation in the country. well as you can see from this video from east to evacuate buses arrive from the enclave and. positions located just a few hundred meters from the route the syrian government has distributed leaflets among civilians in the minutes and controlled and clave with detailed information on how to get to the government controlled side professor of political social that

you talked to. says that armed groups have been bolstered by outside help. for always playing was fire the one who was doing that was fire is all it was for voting weapons was paul vi i think there is always fighting men think them always providing media cover for them. and trying to show that that what is happening is. a big must let go of innocent people what they care about is the. supply arms who they have finances who they have been breathing in the last few years and now they have lost all but they don't have the same quality to admit that the last thought was do they just keep on bargaining making all those claims. meanwhile in iraq people are dealing with life after liberation from terrorists iraqi refugees in the countries and province say they do feel safer though in camps than in the homes they've been told in some cases forced to return

to that's according to a joint report by three humanitarian organizations the report says eighty four percent of refugees do feel much safer in their camps only one percent sure they still have a house to return to well half of those questioned know their homes have been destroyed testimonies in the report appear to reflect those figures. we didn't make it to this place without seeing death with their own eyes or found sometimes. i can't return to ramadi my house was damaged by isis i'm worried about the camp management telling us to leave and return home i had remiss that they might close the camp but there's nothing official lots of my friends have returned to ramadi but i can't go i can't afford to repair my house. right.

now. we are stuck in here like sheep last month an arctic. he was filming in the iraqi city of mosul which was liberated from isolate every year ago but as these pictures do show the still little sign of the city actually returning to normal and while people are being told to return the locals who are actually in mosul do you say the authorities themselves are afraid to do so. how many bodies have you removed since you started working in this area approximately five hundred are there any more yes in houses and all their odds were actually i don't i challenge any member of parliament to live in the conditions we are currently living in here but i bet they are even afraid of entering this area they have no idea how horrible the smell is or how critical the medical situation is. we haven't received any kind of aid since things finished here seven months ago on one occasion did they receive a small box of food problems no food nothing well melanie markham from the

norwegian refugee council who worked on the report does say refugees fear traps and violent reprisals if they return. there's a number of dangers i think one of the largest threats is that of unexploded bombs unexploded mortars and booby traps and in fact we heard one report of a family who returned home only to find their house to be trapped and it killed a family member some of the other things that make it unsafe for people violence from the community around them people who even suspected of having links with isis particularly vulnerable but other people under the threat of violence by. members of their own tribal communities so there are a number of reasons why it's unsafe still unsafe for people to return home. now facebook has not found any additional signs that russian links accounts interfered in the u.k. photo after renewed effort to unearth some proof the company sent

a letter to the head of the british probe into the matter saying there's no evidence other than the minimal activity already known. as more details. this is actually the second attempt by facebook to investigate and see whether russia was involved in any attempts to try to influence the brig's that referendum in december their investigations found that there were three adverts which were taken out by russian accounts but the budget for those totaled less than one pound only reached two hundred people so not exactly extensive proof of russian meddling facebook vend went back and investigated again upon the demands of damian collins who's a leading member of parliament here in the u.k. and that's where that letter comes from again saying that there has been no additional evidence of any russian interference in bragg's that referendum now mr

collins traveled to the u.s. to try to grill the officials from a number of leading tech companies and again the message was clear that russia hasn't been interfering in the democratic processes there be looked at all advertisements of any connection to russia and we found no evidence of our services being used to interfere in the referendum and a very small number of suspected research agency linked accounts forty nine such accounts were active during the campaign which represents less than not point nor five percent of the total number of accounts these are very low level things now despite those testimonies that runs against what we've been hearing from leading politicians including the prime minister to resign may who insists that russia is up to no good it is seeking to weaponize information deploying its 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 so i have

a very simple message for russia we know what you are doing and you will not succeed so all in all thoroughly frustrating for those. you have been attempting to find a link between russia and the briggs referendum and no matter how hard you try you just can't find something that isn't there. so early reporting now the russian drama of lot of hits the screens on thursday the film about the solve it this isn't right a surrogate of a lot of premiered at the berlin film festival where it won the silver bear for outstanding artistic contribution its director told us why he was surprised the film was even showman. so could you please i mean could you go. in when you. were there was that was. on a piece of music you should you. use you were sort of in if you could if you can she also use

a serious case for socially which really should still. be responsible i knew the decisions would be obstructed by the political and particularly personal views of the jury and that's what happened there are a lot of films no worse than our movies and the german pitchers all of them were left with no of awards whatsoever the outstanding movie about the brave advance didn't get anything all of that is kind of hard to explain because i think there were other intentions than just fair competition but i was amazed that it was even shown that when i walked by the convention center where the festival took place i saw a person with a book in german about of lot of and another with the same book in english and then a young german guy came up to me and started asking me lot of was about the culture of the one nine hundred seventy s. leningrad culture what kind of struck me was how well a film was received how universal and relatable it was to everyone well women

dominated this year's event with both the top prize is awarded to female filmmakers nevertheless a lack of female representation generally in the film industry was also discussed as a special festival panel as well as the topic of sexual harassment and the way of the meeting movement lectured him in junior again shared his views on the issue. this is a tough one on the one hand we've got to treat the sexes absolutely equally as they should be no gender preferences obviously on the other hand bearing in mind everything that's going on some sort of support for women is important i think we have fewer problems with this in russia i've heard some unpleasant stories but very few maybe because we have less money for less money there is the less power the less temptation and when so that's how the news is that i am back with headlines in a couple minutes.

to everybody i'm stephen barbee gosh task hollywood guy you know suspects every proud american first of all and just start washing in our view to say this is my buddy max the famous financial guru well just a little bit different i was going to the well you know we know that up with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the good have fun meet everyday americans. and hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the great american people. look. at that you're sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last bang turn. here at us we all knew it but i

tell you i'm sorry. so i write these last words and helps to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each day. but then my feelings started to change you talked about more like it was again still some are fond of you. those that didn't like to question our archaea and i secretly promised to never again like it said one does not leave a funeral in the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this one quite different speech because there were no other takers. to her claim that mainstream media has met its maker. predictable that's.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the law and they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury or somehow want to be rich . to do like to be for us this is what the four wish the tree of the more than people that live in pursuit always in the waters in the hottest. place should. feed.

president vladimir putin uses his state of the nation address to unveil russia's new strategic strike to have passed the things including nuclear capable missile with a limited range that can outsmart all existing defense systems. also to kill more russia's forms a cease fire in the damascus suburb failed for a another day after terrorists shall and i'll back you ation reach preventing hundreds of civilians from leaving the war torn area and facebook admits is still found no sign that russia interfered in the u.k.'s breaks it just bites a renewed effort to dig up.

the welcome you're watching at international three o'clock in the afternoon here in moscow and our top story this hour president vladimir putin has delivered his annual state of the nation address to the russian parliament sharing his vision of the country's future during the speech he unveiled a brand new russian strategic weapons that he can maneuver all existing missile defenses. live now he's in central moscow is following what was said closely good afternoon again just take us through that. points. well this was vladimir putin's fourteenth address and the first step out of it was largely dedicated to domestic issues it was incredibly ambitious the things he called for in the things he said russia must do now he said it needs improvements across the board massive new funding expansion in infrastructure in education health care and social projects as

well as you know making russia a country that is lucrative that is attractive to investors he said now is a crucial period in the next few years if russia falls behind it won't be able to catch up the leading economic powers in the world but again some numbers for you as to how ambitious this is the next ten years glad to be a putin called for a new fifty percent increase in g.d.p. as well as to increase the life expectancy average life expectancy expectancy by ten years to eighty you also address the outside concerned security concerns namely the united states and nato which had been expanding building up. the stablish ng and setting up their own missile defense complexes surrounding russia basically vladimir putin said but no longer. and i mean. this through russia is

a major nuclear power but basically nobody want to talk to us nobody listens to us so listen to us now with yours. things simple things have changed since two thousand and four which is when vladimir putin was referring to this time around in his speech today he unveiled a whole range of new weapons bigger fausta with great a reach as well as more powerful and first and foremost among those perhaps a new nuclear powered nuclear capable cruise missile. ah. he also unveiled to a presented new heavy very heavy into cold continental ballistic missiles laser

weapons and undubbed with the drone that is capable of delivering nuclear missiles and traveling at speeds you know which greater than previously than previously than they could previously there's also talk of add more weapons that are being designed for the russian armed forces and the end goal here it isn't to coalesce anyone it isn't to invade anyone or to threaten anyone it is to establish parity in the world to make is this uni polar world of multipolar one where different countries have different opinions and they're forced to talk to each other and to take each other's concerns into consideration. but us two sure what you mean what should i see russia's growing military might is not meant to threaten anybody we have no plans and have never had plans to use this potential to achieve offensive gress of russia's enhanced military power is simply a guarantee for peace on our planet for it preserves the strategic balance of

forces in the world. there were similarities between this speech and the speech vladimir putin gave in munich at the munich security conference a decade ago which caused shock and it led to a gentle and steeper steeper degradation of relations between russia and the united states and nato but it remains to be she how this speech will be will be made to board. game stuff ok thanks moran that was not a gas the air force in central moscow we can get more reaction now from dr ro he's an independent political analyst and is with us now good afternoon she gilbert thanks for coming on murat ended his pace there by saying we wait and see how the west will react to what president putin said today how do you think they will react . well i think that this is a speech of enormous importance and it will be discussed extensively in all world

media in particular in the states for coming days of course they'll be a great deal of attention to the military hardware that he described but i'd like to put his speech into two contexts one is part of an electoral campaign because we are in the midst of that and yesterday on the twenty eighth of february the seven other candidates had their debates on the perry konar and two what was he saying to the west besides showing off in a non bluff way what russia's achieved in military hardware and coming back to the first point. the electoral campaign he made the other candidates look like a kindergarten of all the discussion of the liberal and communist party candidates was this featured on the centered on the question of how can a country that only represents two percent of the global g.d.p. how can such a country which has only ten percent of the military budget and ten percent of the

g.d.p. of the united states how going to compete at it and project its a missions for role in the world the answer was clear by being head and shoulders above the rest of the world is precisely in his defense capabilities and the and demanding the respect of its capabilities and of its intelligence and of its people and their dedication through the development of these systems so he has run circles around the competition he also answered in a way a question that many in the west for example a financial times were posing of the day before his speech what would he say about the economy what kind of structural reforms would there be the answer is that he said a lot about the economy he said a lot about social welfare but it was all in the nature of an evolutionary change a continuation of the programs that have been put in place around the country in pilot praja. it's had to generalize them for the sake of the of the general state of the state of this move forward of russian society and prosperity that has to the

message to the west it's extremely important he said i believe misquoting that russia stood ready to defend its friends and allies with instantaneous response to any attack on them if i'm not misreading that means that attack on syria the attempt to remove the assad regime could could result in a direct nuclear showdown with united states the same was true of iran and of russia's other friends who died states has been trying to bully in every which way i think that his purpose was to sober up the discussion to move on from the russia gate and all the frivolous talk that has captured the whole of u.s. and western media just quickly we have got much time but just like to play the president putin's view on why russia has developed these new ballistic missiles i think we can have a listen now essentially he was saying it was in response to what the u.s. is doing let's just listen but it used be pretty soon and despite all our protests

the u.s. machine started working the conveyor belt started rolling there are missile defense systems in alaska and california as a result of natives eastward expansion they've set up missile systems into new european locations one has already been deployed in romania and another will be set up in poland soon even now they're working at full speed. i mean russia has said since that speech in the hopes that russia sorry the u.s. might reassess its foreign policy do you think that will happen or do you think the u.s. will just become more entrenched and will enter a new arms race. well we already are in a new arms race entrenched more entrenched there's no way that can be more entrenched except when president trump gets ready to press the nuclear button we are at one another's throats right now so i don't see intensification of hostile talk or scheming and planning has in the cards what is possible and what was what was put in so intent was to sober up the west and to bring that back to realities.

i don't think anyone in the us mainstream media is going to pay attention to the proceeding to the cause of russia's military build up to only look at the consequences what russia has done but that's not a matter of importance what russia has done is breathtaking and i think as i said it will make the us generals the pentagon the whole military budget the spin indorsed by congress. look like chumps so the united states whatever it says publicly is going to have to have a deep rethink of everything that spending no on military because it's useless that's an important point because even alexei pushkov he's a member of russia's federal council when he spoke to us just not long ago he said we expect an hysterical reaction from the western media but. we hope it might mean a reassessment of foreign policy and perhaps an invitation to sit down with the.
