these are established by the syrian government and russia its purpose was to provide a safe window every day for civilians to flee guta by a special crossings but it seems is the missed rebels had different ideas they're doing what they did in aleppo they aren't allowing any civilians out at all and the shelling those crossings therefore the syrian government has allowed this aid to go in but the u.n. says it didn't get to take everything it wanted certain items like field first aid kits the sort that could be used by militants would take it off the convoy anything of military value jewel use is being blocked nevertheless this is big it is a significant development at least those civilians trapped in east ghouta will now have food if the rebels don't do again what they did in aleppo and hold it all in

their warehouses fighting also hasn't debated russian monitors in damascus say that islam ists in east ghouta have not stopped shelling the capital the syrian government in turn has kept up its own offensive on the enclave forty percent of it has now been retaken by government forces in an operation that has gone on for the last several weeks. we also linda tom from the u.n. humanitarian affairs office for her thoughts on russia's steps to help civilians in east and. we were not part of the discussions around the humanitarian corridors however you know any initiative that you know alleviate the suffering of people you know we force well we you know our primary goal is that there is a cessation of hostilities but there is a humanitarian cause that is long enough for us to be able to deliver assistance on

a regular basis what we call war and what we continue to call for is thirty days of least thirty days just ration of hostilities so that we the people in need but also one other bit hard to reach areas in syria. russia's military has said meanwhile that just two children have been able to leave the league on claims through the humanitarian corridor it's established he says the militants have been opening fire on anyone attempting to escape and they are using civilians as human shields. these dramatic images show the moment those youngsters managed to flee the area deeply shocked they were comforted by syrian government soldiers after reaching a military checkpoint in the fate of their parents remains unclear our colleagues at all to arabic spoke to the children.

and. little. to no i didn't. feel i don't. really want to. know. it. sounds like a plot straight out of a hollywood movie only it happened in a russian village a mix up at a maternity ward forty years ago left two mothers raising each other's children d.n.a. tests have now confirmed the suspicions that the families have been harboring for decades and he has the story it's a tale of heartache confusion and attempted murder and has taken two women almost forty years to find out they were raised by the wrong families in a village hospital near the oval mountains four women gave birth on the same day in

march nine hundred seventy eight but to new mothers left with the wrong babies this is the wrong have brought in blue eyes very suspicions with a number logical father he thought his wife had cheated an assumption which had terrifying consequences for you of course he didn't love her that march one day i came back from work in my mother told me she star him covering veronica's face with a pillow i was ironing when i next saw him i threw a hot iron at him i was sad if you touched a child again i don't know what i'll do to you eventually he abandons the family meanwhile though growing up nearby was tanya again raised by a couple believing her to be their own but there was no family resemblance the two mothers met to discuss their doubts it was to have a birth certificate how could i give up my baby and i have not. that will most suspicions when for monica became the age of tape she was diagnosed with an

inherited disease a condition which no one in the family has but is later went for and because mother went to the hospital francis old medical records had been destroyed and then to tend towards itself no longer existed. and the families finally took d.n.a. tests. and i always thought i looked like grandma when i found out i was shocked i thought they wouldn't love me any more now that they found their real daughter. the rani good has always asked that question mom why do i not look like you why do i have a different character she's so calm and even tempered her face is different from ours i used to joke you must have been switched at birth it's been a long painful path for both families they say they have never gretz you the mother is the one who brought you not the one who gave birth and that would just. when you were a huge reason why you would. never speak though if it

had. just. shifted with you can you feel sure bush. could then yes. but veronica is still haunted by the suffering she saw. i feel sorry for my mom because i have seen her struggling for all her life not everyone can deal with it not everyone can be like her for the sake of her children she has forgotten about everything she would go to the end of the world only for her children to be safe and sound but i would go to court for moral compass ation at least because we're so we should birth because i feel myself guilty for her in life and that my father left her. the families have now come to tens with what happens and even say they've gained more than they've lost tanya julieann my grandchildren we're all a big family now we're all relatives he can turn back time now coming up after the break why the internet browser toll famed for protecting its users identities might

hello and welcome to cross talk or all things are considered i'm peter lavelle putin tells the u.s. to come back to earth challenging washington's you know polar ambitions also calls to end the illegal war against yemen and why arming the cambrian is

a recipe for disaster as well as the return to trade wars. across talking some real news i'm joined by my guest mark sloboda he's an international affairs and security analyst and we have dmitri bobbitt she is a political analyst with spook nick international originally cross-talk was in fact that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it first of all we have to go to putin speech on russia returning to nucular parity with the united states and we have to comment about the erosion of arms control regimes that are very important here mark and looking at the major cable stations in the broadsheets they don't give much of a background why this speech was given and its significance go ok well there's two speeches the first part of the speech was a domestic state of the union speech saying this is what i've accomplished in my years in office so far this is what we haven't accomplished this is where we want

to go this is our obstacles and this is how we think we can get there and it was a very good the majority of the speech it was a two hour speech the majority of it was the voted to domestic matters lots of facts and figures he's clearly on top of his game knows this economy inside out though is where he wants to take it. focus on. increasing g.d.p. per capita and. also science technology education spending. the other part of the speech was as a reply to the u.s. it was a reply to two things one the u.s. unilaterally pulling out of the anti-ballistic missile treaty that was the bedrock of the nuclear. parity global strategy of mad mutually assured destruction and the other one was that pull out was under the george w.

bush administration back in two thousand and one russia yelled about it at the time and said the measures they would take and they've now announced them the other thing was a direct response to trump's new nuclear posture review which came out a few weeks ago we've talked about it on the show it has almost been ignored in the western press very very slight amount of news certainly nothing on the talk shows and russia is extremely alarmed by it and they've made clear how alarmed they are by it and they've made clear reiterating their strategy and i would i would say replying in kind to the u.s. to that it will resort to its own completely differently that russia is aggressive on the international stage but mark is absolutely right if we look at the larger prick picture here we had parity was out of sync that was the entire purpose of these nuclear armaments agreements to keep a sense of balance to make sure there was massive destruction where you wouldn't

attack another country on a first strike now what the russians have done with this speech and with the introduction of these weapons is to bring that balance back into into place absolutely and i agree with mark that speech was a response to the nuclear pulse to the point you know the united states and i would like to point your attention to the fact that a region that he was supposed to speak in december he postponed the speech until no why. because it was a response to your digestion nuclear posture right and maybe i will disagree a little bit on nuclear parity here russia is not seeking to have the same amount of nuclear weapons for conventional weapons so apparently the west of here really is in parity in the sense we're there we can do you discourage that have the sort of stability of any little bit of nuclear exchange is north they want to be able to . completely if the enemy is to have enough capability to to inflict and unbearable damage dissuading damage that's why i put in said you

know showing all of these new weapons and their underwater drone he says that i'm not going to produce a lot of them he mistook the weapons that can overcome the american baby and don't insist that they're going to inflict the damage markets deterrence is all about deterrence and that's what all of these weapon systems are all about i mean again it will be spun in a very naive simplistic way but this these are all defensive measures of course i mean defensive measures to get past the u.s. anti-ballistic missile shield which russia is worried about because of first strike capability which u.s. geo political thinkers have been salivating at the thought and openly voicing that they now thought that they were getting nearer to a first strike capability and he's not just replying to the pulling out of the treaty he's replying to the deployment of anti ballistic missile

shield sections in poland in romania alaska california south korea nice easy in that he highlighted some thirty one destroyers the number of cruise ships that that form part of the money it just is going to worthy is it going to work oh it is russia's reply going to war oh yes of course the reason why is and this is a key to the new arms race. and for those who haven't been paying attention russia didn't start a new arms race the arms race has already been going on for two decades because of the u.s. pulling out of it all the major powers russia china india the e.u. the us have all been developing hypersonic weapons underwater drones all of these things but it is much much cheaper easier to build and deploy missiles that can a vague missile defense then and then to create new missile defense that can counter those well it just. does not resolve the problem what we need

a smart war heads and i think paradoxically it was a conservative speech putin once that was to return to the safety to the period of say four years he said when u.s. has to come back to absolutely and he mentioned it in an interview that the united states actually destroyed the arms control system when they went out of their anti-ballistic missile treaty signed in one thousand seven hundred two the whole idea of the treaty it was it's a very american idea you know to call boys are facing each other with its folds and none of them has avoided prof west so the wall start shooting because each of them on the stand is going to be the death for the importance of a.b.m. anti-ballistic missile treaty mark is that it was the foundation for all the other new free to agreements ok the one that we're have one as the new start to grieve and this is one of the things that was meant to didn't mention in the speech he did reach out made it very clear to sit down pretty i mean obviously with the united

states here. to negotiate a new generation of agreements that's that's very important something that wasn't mentioned. the anti-ballistic missile treaty was the foundation upon which these other agreements were built now one of the reasons for putin's announcement and this is a direct successor to putin's two thousand and seven munich's be. each a speech that in order to understand modern geopolitics i think everyone needs to read he warned of the consequences then he's now warning what we've done and where we're at now and both of these two major treaties arms control treaties the intermediate range nuclear forces and the new start treaty are due to expire in just the next few years one thousand nine hundred. nineteen two thousand nine hundred eighty other one in two thousand and twenty one so he's actually making a plea here yes it down at the table he said directly you did not hear us then

well listen to us now now before it's too late or it's too late to change gears here gentlemen i made a promise to our viewers here that we would keep an eye on what's going on in yemen a grossly unreported story in western media demon we have a move in the u.s. senate to call. the white house to stop its involvement in the war against them and that's led by saudi arabia this is something that we talked about last week about the authorization of military force is going to go anywhere i'm afraid of the current she's going to continue and it's just unthinkable you know all of the western media is talking about is to go to what you would have. maybe a few doors and sell thousands of people in here and you have to weigh in to seven million people and sixteen million out of them have no access to potable water and insufficient food supplies and they're being borne by the most and we have to deal

with. very systematic a blockade here implicate continuous since november two thousand and seventeen because look in which the u.s. has participated absolutely where does this come from is this. a red herring here that suddenly congress is waking up to its responsibilities about the authorization of use of force essential they have the right to do. clear war where does this come from no no i'm afraid this is a partisan shot across the bow. first of all obama started this war as he went out into the yeah yeah and he participated in saudi arabia never would have launched the war without us permission and help and constant arms supply and refueling in the air and sea for i.a.s. our intelligence special forces on the ground drones everything us has been kneedeep in this they're not just supporting they're an active military participant

that was started by obama and no one objected then no one objected to obama's proxy war in syria no one objected to his destruction of libya right now truck comes along continues at this point he's only continued what obama has done and suddenly bernie sanders finds the courage with one another republican mike lee you know to stand forward and say oh we just remembered that we have. congressional powers to declare war over the executive branch it's a shame you couldn't remember that just last night says he we do go there to be awfully they want a little they're telling the world that they are they have some kind of conscience but it won't have any impact on policy you know or why they suddenly discovered. because the guardian saw the new report that the soldiers opdyke getting portable water supplies that to get to schools and sometimes even diplomatic it they've been putting it all cases you know given to those who have been on t.v. who pointed to before they got in but before the guy did report that there were no

planes like there always on all the new clothes only just for russia i called him an r.t. for keeping an eye on their twenty seconds mark you know finish up on human yeah i'm afraid that this resolution isn't going to change anything the war there is a quagmire saudis need deep in it yemen it was already the poorest country in the world but saudi arabia one of the world's now highest military. spenders armed by the u.s. and all the other western powers can't defeat well it's and you've seen the crown prince's and due to be in the united states on the eighteenth i wonder how much how much western media will cover the yemen war when the crown prince is in washington we're going to go to a short break gentlemen after that short break we'll continue our discussion on some real news stayed with our.
