8:01 pm
broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our two international thomas certainly glad to have you with us as we recap the week's top stories. president puts an outline his vision of russia's future on thursday delivering the annual state of the nation address to parliament he also revealed details about the country's new nuclear arsenal which he said includes missiles that are too advanced to be intercepted by any existing air defense systems our senior correspondent you have explains more about the hardware that is getting western news outlets so worked up. if you aren't russian in the first hour putin's speech would have been boring taxes and corruption and science and industry that sort of thing after that
8:02 pm
though it got real hot real fast and i mean russia is a major nuclear power basically nobody wanted to talk to us nobody listened to us so listen to us now rockets lasers nukes in a rush hooted unveiled in us and all of new weapons bigger faster stronger and deadlier than any that came before the law. the sun not super heavy i.c.b.m. two hundred ton missile capable of penetrating any existing defense in service at the end of the year next an enigmatic new development seemingly nuclear powered cruise missile it flies extremely low to avoid detection and can hit almost
8:03 pm
anywhere in the world says putin up next it's just fantastic an underwater drone submarine also nuclear powered with a nuclear payload it can reportedly underwater for months and months silent and media undetectable next to the oven god the hypersonic missile extremely fost rockets that can actively dog and a vaid anti missile defenses. that is heading for the target like a meteorite to top all of that off laser weapon systems though putin didn't go into detail saying only that it still classified the russian president says all of this isn't to intimidate or scare anyone or invade anyone these a serious way. designed for one thing restore and guarantee russia's strategic power in an age where an ever expanding nato is trying to nullify it.
8:04 pm
we have no plans and have never had plans to use this potential to achieve offensive or aggressive in russia's in hands military power is simply a guarantee for peace on our planet for it preserves restore parity in the world sure that there's no point in gauging in a senseless arms race after all mutually assured destruction has kept the world safe for the best part of a century all right president putin's speech to caused alarm across much of the western media he addressed it him self with n.b.c. news after many outlets accused russia of risking another cold war the white house and the country learning of that new threat from russian president warning adverse arisen and in the west in particular not to mess with russia computer graphics of missiles flying over mountains and heading over oceans and he says he's not
8:05 pm
bluffing several analysts in the west have said this is the declaration of a new cold war are we in a new arms race right now my point of view is the individuals who have said that a new cold war has started are not really analysts they do propaganda if you were to speak about arms race then an arms race began at exactly the time in moment when the u.s. opted out of the anti-ballistic missile treaty. ovide admitted putin also said the new weapons serve to counteract washington's deployment of missile defense systems in alaska and california nato is also expanding further into eastern europe with two sites set up in romania and poland new locations are soon to be established in japan and south korea as well we spoke to several political commentators and they told us president putin speech was really just about emphasizing that russia has an effective and up to date nuclear deterrent. these are not designed for war
8:06 pm
fighting these are designed to send a very clear message that president putin said quite clearly which is that these these systems are basically if you mess with us we will nuke you and we will not hold back now that is a strategic statement it's not a statement about escalating to deescalating which is what the russians are often accused of and were accused of officially by the american government. the decades after the cold war the usa really ruled the world and that balance of power is now shifting with russia coming in with many other major players from what putin is saying and i hope he's absolutely right that this is a deterrent against the american led defense system and that's a very important effective tool to have. i don't see an intensification of hostile talk or scheming and planning in the
8:07 pm
cards so it's very reasonable to expect that in the short term there will be calling upon moscow to reenter into overall. arms to go shushan talks that is certainly the greatest likelihood and certainly what for dinner putin. is looking for. the u.s. state department spokeswoman said she believes the visuals are shown during a lot of important speech illustrating the missiles capabilities actually depict a nuclear attack on the u.s. heather nauert even snubbed a russian reporter who tried to challenge her on it and this is not the first time she has made caustic responses to journalists working for russian media. if you're small to take in the united states it. sends a different direction so i had to say that they are going to tell you everything from their shit yeah ok ok enough said and i'll move on.
8:08 pm
what is funny if it turns out they're not. a fish because of the price of government the same question about was like ok. did by the russian government the fact that you were here as a representative of the russian government so-called news organizations russian news if you were. misquoted in a great joke on. some. guy you know what i don't know if you are working for today or what but i think the money that money. got it would got to go with i i would talk to you after the no doubt your proxy card that's. stable for the
8:09 pm
rocky. voting has ended in italy's general election and exit polls pointed to a possible hung parliament with voters favored favoring anti-establishment and center right parties the center right coalition that includes silvio berlusconi's fourth. excuse me and my. leg ignored is expected to be to be anti-establishment five star movement in both the chamber of deputies and the senate it is projected that the coalition will get about forty percent support and the five star movement from twenty five to thirty percent that would make it the single. largest party bug with all the numbers that needed to govern alone are dishonest. ports now from rome. well it's been quite an election here in italy from the very curious and untested new election laws that was used for the first time in the selection of some of the curiosities about the candidates to of course media
8:10 pm
frenzy with journalists both italian and international trying to make sense of it all now we're at the headquarters of the five star movement this is a movement that was founded back in two thousand and nine by a indeed a comedian and from being an online political movement to really became a force to be reckoned with here in italy becoming the largest single party to make it quite far in this election we also of course have on the center right silvio berlusconi of course who cannot himself run for political office given his previous conviction convictions for time previous prime minister eighty one year old was the face of the force a tally a movement which is in coalition with lead which is more right leaning group that is very so tough in terms of its anti immigration stance and we saw the democrat democratic party of former prime minister matteo don't see trying to kind of pick up the political force here in italy yet again after he had staked his whole career on
8:11 pm
a referendum which he had failed but so far it hasn't worked quite well for the democratic party now taking all of these issues into account one of the bigger ones has been immigration is with passions flying high on all sides of the spectrum including protests taking place. around was. just having talked about immigration also the economy has been a. huge issue here of course with italy having a huge public debt of one hundred thirty five percent of its g.d.p. unemployment being super high especially for youth a stagnant economy really some people some critics have been saying that this election should have been taken a little bit more seriously in terms of this untested election system that many
8:12 pm
have found to be quite confusing including italians we've spoken to. i'm a bit disillusioned the programs are always the same and after the first three months in power the political parties never keep the promises they made for them it was pretty complicated it was a bit unclear and there will be consequences. while you're trying to gain the trust of a tos creating a mess like this amounts to a real shot while some of the media headlines we've seen have job this election chaotic unpredictable disappointing even a farce and certainly expecting it's to have been more organized i mean even throughout the night here we've seen some international journalists be quite so taken aback with some of the organization that has been taking place with no good internet connections inside press centers with journalists having to go outside for some live broadcasts to be able to do their work so this was something that's been quite symbolic in terms of how this whole election has been unraveling in terms of
8:13 pm
even touching journalists who have arrived here to be able to to try to be able to do their job and to be quite surprised with the way things have been panning out so we do expect final results to be announced sometime on monday afternoon and certainly we'll be bringing you those as they come in marco professor of political theory at the university of maryland told us immigration fears have fueled gains on the right. there's no clear majority there's one clear result that is the democratic party that was in power is gone like twenty twenty one percent will see but it's pretty much gone and the issue was so clearly that of immigration that a lot of them a lot and in clay and clearly created that that mess for them so there's no clear majority and anything can come out there is it was not it's not like in germany we're when there's no clear majority you know what's going to happen right the two
8:14 pm
major parties will go for the gross equality it's you know candidly there's there are three three big air parties in two or three more and actually the center by. those fool fooled by those clearly by the immigration issue there is no doubt about that. the people in the embattled syrian district of eastern good are still struggling to leave but they are taking fire from militants will bring you that story and much more after a short break. the warhawks selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles they call. the new socks credit tell you that so be gossip the tabloids are files with reporters today. about her eyes and how you think you are not cool enough to buy their product.
8:15 pm
these are the hawks that we along with our audience will watch. when gold makes manufacture to send to public wells. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round. we can all middle of the room say. you. are welcome back this is the weekly now russia's military says only two children have managed to escape the besieged syrian district of eastern good five days after
8:16 pm
russia set up a humanitarian corridor to help civilians leave. here are the images of the moment syrian soldiers save the two children they are clearly in shock and were comforted and provided aid after reaching government positions the russian ministry of defense has stressed that militants in the enclave are preventing others from escaping by opening fire on them in the ministry also says insurgents there are using people as human shields and the un security council earlier adopted a resolution demanding a thirty day ceasefire across syria without delay russia sees the opening of its humanitarian corridor and its attempts to establish ceasefire windows as a step towards implementing that call damascus has also attempted to evacuate the wounded and tried sending forty six age trucks to the area but they were unable to get through as militants opened fire along the route aid workers stationed at
8:17 pm
a government checkpoint close to eastern good have told us about the plight of civilians there. i'm here with the syrian army and i'm ready to help leaving eastern ghouta we have ambulances here with the word list they're here around the clock to provide first aid to people from eastern guta a medical labs also work twenty four hours have provided the girls the quipped with all modern facilities medical workers also ready. there were some people who wanted to leave eastern ghouta but all of a sudden we only saw a gunman opening fire using mortars to intimidate civilian what. is termed good is located just outside of the syrian capital damascus it has been occupied by various rebel and islamist groups for years and under siege since two thousand and thirteen and in the north of good as a refugee camp that is hoped fleeing civilians can be relocated to now efforts to provide safe passage for those desperate to escape are being coordinated with the
8:18 pm
syrian red crescent buses and ambulances on standby hoping the militants will cease firing it long enough for civilians to get out people inside the insurgent held on grave are being notified about the location of the corridor through leaflets text alerts and loudspeakers you know first aid points have also been set up near the exit to the corridor the situation in the district meanwhile has provoked a heated debate have the un security council. 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 pools 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.
8:19 pm
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 it would be to damascus to use chemical weapons but 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 laterally rewrite time the. have the resolution if rusher is able to deliver a five hour pause let it deliver a twenty four hour one so you wouldn't really need to be put to do 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 which if any of you lifted a finger do you use your influence on those who you consider the moderate opposition
8:20 pm
have you persuaded them to lay down their weapons and release hostages for always playing with fire though one would think it was five dollars for fighting weapons or sport scenarios with five men think there was providing media coverage for them. and trying to show that that what is happening is. a big must go of innocent people what they care about is those whom they had supplied arms who they had finances whom they had been breathing in the last few years and now they have lost all but they don't have the same coach to admit that they lost the water always do they just keep on bargaining and making all those claims. many media outlets have been quick to compare the situation in eastern good air with what was seen in the previously besieged syrian city of aleppo by as much as you go to the dean of bashar has done off comment they often over look
8:21 pm
a number of inconvenient truths in their report. president arafat and his russian are like the accused of unleashing all out war against the people of ghouta russia and the syrian government are launching an offensive actually examining those wired hundreds of missiles and mortars on civilian homes and hospitals hospitals are targets in syria and the regime has been bombing them ruthlessly among all things eased goatees one of the last jihadi bastions just like aleppo it's been a long time den of the nusra front and the likes and since then new strain itself have only been getting cozy of their militias in these go to have a record of forcing civilians to sit tight amid the fighting and the worse it is for them the better the evidence indicates that non-state armed groups in eastern guta and in particular josh islam are also responsible for inflating the price of food and other basic necessities there arbitrarily restricting the movement of
8:22 pm
civilians wishing to leave and abducting and arbitrarily detaining people. human shields is a tactic favored by all terrorists including those who were in aleppo. and just like any still up oh there are no western reporters in rebel held reporters shoes are filled by young prodigies. and this is what happens there's a shame that i can't see of damascus. for serving is a girl. the white helmets a group marketing itself as a civil defense initiative they're volunteers work at bomb sites as diligently it seems as they have at the scenes of jihad is the executive.
8:23 pm
wherever jihadi factions first they bring their white helmets in tow. like aleppo is no exception. a palestinian teenager allegedly hit in the head by an israeli rubber bullet in december says he felt pressured to change his statement about the incident in order to avoid a longer period of detention mohamed tamimi who is still being treated was arrested on monday in a dawn raid on a palestinian village nine other people were also detained during the operation having taken part in anti israel demonstrations the day after his release and though israeli authorities published an official facebook post claiming the boy's injury was the result of his falling off his bike and it was self-inflicted went on
8:24 pm
to say that there is a culture of lies and incitement within the boy's family here is mohammed's account of what happened at the police station. they arrested me at my home at three am they put handcuffs on me and my brother then they took us to their camp when i was arrested i felt like i was going to be sentenced and they made me afraid when we arrived and they took us to the interrogation and they hit me while they were interrogating me. when i went to the interrogation place i heard people shouting and getting beaten and there were little kids there the officer started shouting at them to confess and also shouting at me. they started asking me why my face is like this and saying you look funny and said many things about me i told them i fell off my bicycle. when i was injured i climbed the wall thinking they were gone and as soon as i looked over i was shot
8:25 pm
right here. and then i passed out and i don't know what happened. mohammed's family released a medical records that apparently show a bullet lodged in the back of his head the documents show that he underwent surgery during which part of his skull was removed muhammad is currently waiting for another operation now just an hour after mohammed was first injured his cousin lashed out at an israeli soldier she said was responsible for the boy's injuries images of the incident went viral and propelled her to international recognition mission as a symbol of power unit resistance i mean is ahead of time amy excuse me is currently awaiting trial for the assault on the israeli soldier. and that does it for me i'll be back in about thirty four and a half minutes with a full look at your news you're watching our international.
8:26 pm
it's focused on ending the war and that's not going to mean goldish humanitarian concern which is the bombing of hospitals a bottle of civilians the shelling of damascus by rebel groups that's not and also the body that every year as i was mentioning earlier it's a mix of that with the political objectives which some people may still have. the new global economic war is unfolding in the realm of education the right to education is being supplanted by the right to access education loans higher education is becoming just another product that can be bulletin so old that it's not just about education anymore it's also about running
