first speech is that russia has developed five new nuclear weapons that can all of a of america's missile defense so that's why it's part of this new cold war narrative that has so many of us troubled because it is very dangerous but part of it was but it was the soviet union part of the collapse part of the collapse was reportedly that the soviet union was focusing so much money for example on this weapons race you know in this last race on the missile race now it seems perhaps the tides have turned as you said on march the first the presidential federal assembly address displaying the new guard and the kynge hypersonic missile delivery platform systems that nothing on the planet can reportedly detect or fight back against now you've got russia that apparently has superior weapons you've got america now in washington saying to congress and saying to the senate we need money to develop our own hypersonic defense how is it possible peter that the tables have actually turned no because both sides there are two people in the world right

now who've got the capability themselves of ending all life on the planet and as lattimer putin and donald trump we can wipe each other out completely even before these new weapons russia could have wiped out the united states just a submarine launched ballistic missiles can wipe each other out so that's why we're certain kind of insanity in the world now we spend so much money perfecting the means of killing on both sides when that money should be going to would gladly put was just talking about science technology education peaceful development that's what the world this which is why it's so urgent that we get and from and g. and merkel and other leaders to sit down and figure out how we solve some of the problems rather than how we exacerbate the problem and what we've seen as you know since the start of the implementation of these are sanctions against russia for example you've seen for the past three years at least now that russia is moving further. further eastwards in fact russia and china have now become the best of

convenient friends and convenient allies some might say that's much to the chagrin of washington that wasn't the plan at all or perhaps it was no i don't think it was a plan i think we've forced russia and china together by america's hostile policy toward china it was november twentieth eleven when hillary clinton wrote an article called america's pacific century and she announces the pivot toward asia and then but the relation with russia has gotten really bad since two thousand and twelve since the crisis in ukraine so that very tense and we have a solution there the two settlement but that's not being implemented and so you've got the situation that could unravel the china for example you know typically has has a public policy of noninterference and it was only several months ago when trump was really beating the war drums about north korea we were going to fire in fury we had

a lot of them that's what he was saying china at one point very calmly said we will not allow any attack on our dia on our d.n.a. but now they are complicated it and they said if north korea provokes the attack then they're not going to come to north korea's defense and only if north korea is attacked so i guess the question is who's provoking who i mean if you know if you if you live seven thousand miles away and you're flying over your military around the south china sea and you're saying to china you can't do this you can't do this because we all know that china is really is the economic concern right to america is kim jong il flying his military all around washington all around california and saying i'm going to bomb the hell out of you because you're provoking me with one of the iron who is it working one of the ironies about where kim and trump are going to meet is that they don't have any planes in north korea that can take him anywhere so they can't even get into singapore for the meeting so. the united states mary. special forces last year operated in i think one hundred forty two

countries around the world yeah that's right that's right and there are so thousand bases around the world has made eight hundred thousand bases around the world it's got an empire of bases so clearly the united states has been in that position china has one overseas base in djibouti but we're saying that china is our enemy at least in economic terms for the difference is there in africa for example which is supposed to be the new battleground the new bread crossbred bread basket of the world of course you have america's africa being centered around that area the difference is the china goes in the and instead of taking minerals actually build infrastructure roads schools hospitals but listen we can continue that in just a moment here as we have been continuing our live coverage on international correspondents. standing by for us now he is downtown in the hollow holes of the kremlin it was quite a ceremony today eager to any any key points in the address the inaugural address by vladimir putin well rory the ceremony has just wrapped up and glad i'm

a putin who is known to be sometimes fashionably sometimes not so fashionably late well this time he was right on time with work like a swiss clock i should say and really this ceremony was a very new we had a very fresh spirit compared to the previous ones for instance vitamin put in. a cool from with these holes sitting at his work office and we saw him walk all the way from his office and walking out of the building and getting into his motorcade and riding all the way through the kremlin to this gremlin palace now a very very well another peculiar thing about his. journey from one place to another is that he apparently preferred he's mercedes-benz limousine to a new one the one developed in russia which is called current which literally means a motorcade. it is apparently a new vehicle

a new vehicle designed specifically for the president it is a very well protected it is rumored to be able to withstand a hit by a rocket grenade or by a basically by a mortar round so this is what we know so apparently he was probably the first time that he actually rolled that vehicle now he got in here he walked through these magnificent kremlin who are scrambling palace was set an old and then he delivered a speech and basically the first thing that we gathered from that speech is that he does not expect this presidency to be easy. on your skin and we have to keep up with the global changes to create an agenda of groundbreaking development so that no obstacles or circumstance are going to enter the new from the terminal in our future by ourselves we've got three realizing our most ambitious plan with your dreams certainly it's a million well also vladimir putin made

a very big emphasis on his on the responsibility he says he's feeling in front of all the people of russia he focused much more on the internal of the domestic policies of russia on the domestic affairs in his speech rather than on foreign policy for instance so he tried his speech to try to be very unifying he tried he made of visual a very vivid effort of trying to unite the nation in these in these times have a lesson. number. we need breakthroughs in all spheres of life i strongly believe that only a free modern society that is ready for change and innovation that rejects injustice extreme conservatism and excess bureaucracy only such a society can achieve this kind of progress i believe that the main basis for the development of our country is the unity of the free responsible sim. society and

the democratic government. so after delivering the speech he walked out through a different. from from this palace saw the kremlin regimen. parading in front of him and then he apparently talked to some activists who waited for him outside we couldn't quite make out what he was saying to them but still so then he was on his way and it was the intrigue is now that i'm reporting that guess first thing in office in his new tenure as the russian president going down off thank you. i've got one more one more question just in the last number of time here for august peter because nick thanks very much for joining us for this whole inauguration coverage has been lovely having you here my last question for you there if you could wish one thing for a lot of me putin during his coming what would that one thing is impossible for me to. mention quickly several. i love seeing the cal gorbachev

take the leadership in the one nine hundred eighty s. for trying to rid the world of nuclear weapons i think that's my number one priority and there's global warming one thing that i'd like to see putin do that only putin could do and do by himself not with partnership with the west is. russia is proud she'd been in twentieth century was the fight against fascism the defeat of fascism one of things that bothers me about russia today is when i see russia reaching out toward right wing neo fascist governments whether it's in the hungry or forces in germany or forces in france i think that that peace virtue is the reputation and she admits of russia and i want to see russia play a more positive role not cater to people who represent that kind of ethnic hatred a kind of racism so as some might say the same about washington how i see it all in iraq and the neo fascists in ukraine it is about owning and i know that it was not all but even from the reaching out to those same elements inside the united states

. but what i really want to see but more putin do is become a leader these leader on the global stage and sense and say well i understand russia's interest but right now we need somebody who speaks for the interests of all humanity and i think putin has got that understanding better certainly even trump better than may better than merkel better than she and i if you look at his interviews with oliver stone they might have gotten criticized in the west but i know they're very popular here and russian all over spent twenty hours with latimer putin and he used for hours in the interviews and putin has a vision a positive vision of the world and russia's we're all in the world and i'd like to see him take back kind of global leadership call for that kind of international summit now and begin to work in a way that we can resolve these crucial problems of global poverty distribution of wealth global warming. issues of war and peace united nations is not playing that

role anymore no leader on the world stage is playing that role of trying to play that role he didn't succeed but i'd like to see putin follow in that tradition while representing russia's interests while being sober minded about what the real situation is but somebody's got to be a moral voice for the world and nelson mandela for the world and that man and that voice for you is i'd like to see. grow into that role he's already very popular in russia he's got a lot of political capital he can spend some of that political capital co-author of the untold history of the united states international analyst an expert thank you very much for joining us on this important day the integration of that important thank you very much your thank you for. just some time now to get some of those stories for you here now international the british foreign secretary is now making a last minute efforts to persuade donald trump to stick to the iranian nuclear deal

johnson is currently on a two day visit to washington where he'll meet with senior officials. takes a closer look at europe's efforts to change trump's mind. terms apparent intention of dropping the iran nuclear deal later this week has sent the international community into overdrive there are now two competing influence campaigns playing out keep it and kill it seemingly testing out the theory third time's a charm the british foreign secretary boris johnson is in washington and a last ditch effort to save the pack from trump's wrath that's after the leaders of france and germany had no luck whatsoever isn't that we believe it's better to have this agreement even if it's not perfect and you have no agreement. if. the iran deal is not sufficient to see that iran's ambitions are curbed and contained it is most important to recognize that iran through its ballistic missile program is trying to exert geo political influence in syria and lebanon. the solid

robust verifiable agreement that guarantees that iran will not acquire nuclear weapons to denounce it without proposing anything else would be a serious mistake not respecting it would be irresponsible. and we should have knowledge of the current agreements doesn't allow us to address all of the issues among the things not covered by the iran nuclear deal is iran's activity in the region. this by going in with iron resolve both the chrono and merkel and it up looking like they were just trying to pander to the us leader and although boris is set to meet with trump spice president and his hawkish new national security adviser those two will likely try to browbeat johnson into accepting this is a bad job and doomed deal i don't see that there's any prospect of a real fix to this deal i think the deal is inherently flawed i think it's a strategic the buckle for the united states the iran nuclear deal is a disaster and the united states of america will no longer certify this field can

see. the only hope france germany and the. ok seemed to have is to push for a compromise with trump simply tweaking the existing agreement but perhaps we're not seeing the whole picture here maybe the problem for america actually goes deeper than this one pact we've got a president is a president who doesn't listen to. the people who are naysayers and a president that is as true to regime change as we are. meanwhile pushing the white house to abandon the agreement is the israeli prime minister whose country is in the signatory netanyahu just last week gave a pretty dramatic power point presentation on iran's secret nuclear program which turned out to be both not secret and non-existent still b.b. is flying to moscow in the coming days to try and get his message across to president putin the kremlin has been clear on its stance however we are going to

support the deal concluded with the previous u.s. administration so with both sides battling it out everything for now is still up in the air this deal took years of exhaustive negotiations to reach and surely none of that included worrying about what the next guy in the white house thought but if one naysayer is all it takes to bring them down maybe it sends the message that all landmark international agreements should be structured to only last for one presidential cycle it shows that the united states foreign policy is not based on responsibility but it's based on force the u.n. has no place other war powers are not even enough room to play a major actors in the us foreign policy and this shows major failure for diplomacy in resolving global issues like nuclear problem that's the main message of the kind of policy that has been adopted by donald trump this is out international your program returns in four minutes.

the new global economic war is unfolding in the realm of education the right to education of being supplanted by the right to access education low its high education is becoming just another product that can be born and sold under small just about education anymore it's also about running a business there where you could no mobiles or three g. could look good is also the kind of fellow we couldn't be. more it is the place of students in this business model before college i was born now and i'm extremely more higher education the new global economic war. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on foundation let it be an arms race is on often this very dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful

very critical time time to sit down and talk. about your sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last bang turn. to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry for me i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath . but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was a cave still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never again like it said one does not leave a funeral in the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this. when

the defense may speak to us and we know what they're takers. claimed that mainstream media has met its maker. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of alternative but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous is a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure to come out you have to go i mean eighty percent of the beach will tell we're with you and we will show you all the great game the greatest good you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get the ball going let's go. a low as there's a war in europe and i'm really happy to join that to for the two thousand infield world cup in russia meet the special one come all dr bashir needs to just say the

from is up and describes in the fine. headlines for this hour an hour to international. has been officially sworn in as the russian president just a moment we'll be bringing you a. ceremony. that. is. to be killed hundreds of interpreters who worked with the british army in afghanistan face deportation from the u.k. even though they were promised asylum by london we speak to one of those affected. by britain's foreign secretary heads to washington in a bid to save the iranian nuclear deal as donald trump's decision. is looming.

thank you joining us here on r.t. international we have your top all headlines live at this hour. has just been officially sworn in as russian president of course he won the election back in march. has been following the ceremony deep from the halls of the kremlin good to see you can you bring us some of the highlights of the opening ceremony we were seeing just amazing pictures here on our. well indeed the hall behind me as you can see right now it's mostly it's mostly journalists and security here but literally minutes ago it was packed with dozens of people out of some six thousand of those who were invited to the inauguration ceremony lattimer putin himself he has a reputation of being well sometimes fashionably sometimes not so fashionably late

this time he was right on time which worked almost it worked like a swiss clock i should say and the ceremony was different from any previous and from any. previously really the city center of moscow was not blocked off for traffic but instead lattimer putin got a call in his office and then we saw him walk all the way to the east side to this palace now he also rode for a briefly with his motorcade and for the first time apparently he preferred to his usual mercedes-benz limousine and a new one russian made cortege which literally translates as a motorcade it is a new vehicle designed specifically for the russian president it is in its main feature is how well protected it is it is rumored that it can basically withstand being head to by a by a grenade even by a grenade so then when he made it to the halls of this magnificent palace he was

sworn in he read an old and then he delivered a speech and from that speech the first thing that we could gather is that he does not expect this presidency to be just a walk in the park. and we have to keep up with global changes to create an agenda of granny breaking developments to sort of know what will stick you so you know. when you from the terminal in our future my ourselves we realize we are most ambitious plan was your dreams civilian also his speech she was very admirable in the balance as to between foreign and domestic policies the focus of the speech visibly tipped in favor of domestic policy she talked about the unification of the russian nation talked how russians how all russians should be standing together united have a listen. we need breakthroughs in all spheres of life i strongly

believe that only a free modern society that is ready for change and innovation that rejects injustice extreme conservatism and excess bureaucracy only such a society can. chief this kind of progress i believe that the main basis for the development of our country is the unity of the free responsible civil society and the democratic government. well after delivering that speech vladimir putin was pretty much on his way and the russian government has already disbanded itself it has already we signed which is a normal of course procedure in this situation so the next thing the next big sensations that we could expect is from vladimir putin's new appointments as to who's going to going to be the prime minister of course this is the main entry as to the key positions the key ministerial positions also many of them remain remain uncertain so this is definitely something to look forward to. a correspondent

thank you. hundreds of interpreters who worked with the british army in afghanistan are facing the threat of deportation from the u.k. that's despite a promise from britain that they would be allowed to stay and we spoke to one of those affected here says the only thing that awaits him back in afghanistan is death. if they deport me back there is only one times for me to be killed he doesn't know when but the u.k. home office has informed abdul bari that he's going to be deported to kabul within the next three months abdul says he can't go back to afghanistan because he worked as a frontline interpreter for british forces from two thousand and eight to two thousand and ten my life was in danger my family and i have the same danger threatening me but they told me that you know that you joined the infidels. you've been talking about there was only one chance for me and i must leave the country because the

second time i could provide the mean time that was for the family so if they catch me they would definitely just leave the country the british defense secretary gavin williamson has made headlines in recent days by telling the home office that afghan interpreters should be allowed to stay in the u.k. but that reassurance only refers to around four hundred form a interpreters who had been given a five year due tavi says they expire soon and all the authorities have done in reality as say that they'll waive the costly renewal fees so those celebrator you headlines don't apply to the six hundred or so former afghan interpreter is still in kabul who have had their asylum claims rejected nor do they applied to be conned full of complicated cases relating to former interpreters who were forced to flee

and entered the u.k. illegally like abdul all of us are delighted that those who've had better all the criteria and their families are here and will stay here and they don't owe anybody money there are still people who are being looked at and we need to be careful that we don't let a full through the dance we have a debt of honor to these people and what we mustn't do is leave someone who actually worked for us looked after. also has helped us we mustn't leave someone like that in a position where they and their families will be at risk and we've got to be very clear make sure we don't do that abdul says he didn't have time to apply for a visa through the official interpreter scheme while he was still in the temple that required months of waiting and his life placing creasing at risk now abdul's lawyer is appealing the home office's moves to deport him many interpreters got these fish directly from afghanistan through the ministry defense relocation was very strict. criteria that required you to be. working in helmand province

and to be made redundant on or off the nineteenth of december twenty twelve a lot of people i missed the. word working in two thousand and twelve because they were threatened and targeted by the taliban hard to quit their jobs and flee it's not really fair to make this journey to the you care to escape these threats to be told actually go home they're saying it's it's there for him to read we have evidence from former employees not just from the british army but they also he was working with him be in kabul what he really care to the originators. but evidence suggests he was threatened in kabul. and if he goes back to the same will happen again he will be targeted when it comes to its own citizens the u.k. government clearly warns against travel to almost all of afghanistan even districts in the heavily guarded capital kabul it adds that terrorists are very likely to carry out attacks and methods are evolving and increasing in sophistication but

that's apparently safe enough for abdul barry tarrytown as far as the u.k. government is concerned i don't play with a couple who is safe because i think the most dangerous place in the world at the moment because every bomb is exploding people are dying and i don't. the home office is saying the couple is saying i first met abbeville a couple of months ago since then his already fragile mental state has worsened the surviving thirty five pounds and commendations i'm not allowed to. so it can do nothing but talk so i have a very bad depression so i bring to the g.p. many times and some medicine from them but doesn't work. and i'm still struggling i ask him about what he wants to do if and after all this

he wants to work he'd read economics at university and kaberle he wouldn't mind resurrecting his professional boxing career either but his talk is tentative working and living here sounds like a dream one that any day now could come crashing down with the arrival of a final deportation letter. and i knew all the time a kilometer race right through the french capital will not be held this year due to the high number of homeless people mostly migrants come to out along the road it's a problem many had hoped would have eased over the last year artie's investigates president michael had pledged that by the beginning of two thousand and eighteen no one would be sleeping rough on the streets of france let alone her and yet not only did he fail to deliver on.
