when i'm on the numbers. the u.s. and russia trade barbs at the un over the syrian government's plan to retake rebel held province existence with terrorists is impossible those are ruled branches of al qaida which we have been fighting since the terror attacks in two thousand and one with all we've seen are the actions of cowards interested in a bloody military conquest of it. as a side bombing kills thirty two people at a rally in afghanistan against a local police chief while a twin blast in the same problems targets during morning rush hour also coming up.

a million cats once filled the streets so far so long on the national day and a huge show of support for the independence from spain. coming to you live from moscow this is our to international welcome to the program . the situation in syria sadly a province most of which is controlled by terrorists has become the focus of the latest un security council meeting. coexistence with terrorists is impossible but those are all branches of al qaida which we have been fighting since the terror attacks in two thousand and one and from whom we can expect the worst attacks imaginable. let's not waste time with the december mission distractions and. outright lies that the assad regime and their russian and iranian

partners constantly use to distort this conversation prover assume forces strike an area wait a few moments for first responders to arrive and then strike again it is a disgusting tactic of terrorists not professional soldiers just a few days ago the pentagon announced that the u.s. wouldn't be working with russia to counter terror and it lip same it found a quote better or more focused way but no details were revealed as for the state of affairs in live the syrian representative said that the province is home to about ten thousand al qaeda linked militants who are referred to as moderate rebels overthrow so remind ourselves that osama bin ladin was the original moderate rebel in the eighty's and then he was found to be behind nine eleven and after that everything changed but back to the days meeting of the u.s. also slammed the us thought a peace process calling it

a failure and then you know went on to argue with russia wants take a quick look russia iran and assad or demolition are demolishing it live and asking us to call it peace. but here's the reality a stomach has failed it has failed to stop the violence or to promote a political solution i want to stress once again that deescalation zones were temporary measures they should be either a local with peace or a counterterrorism operation i also learned that some of our colleagues are trying to influence our stand apart and you will not succeed in this my american colleagues said in the istana process has failed to meet maybe you want it to you but i'm going to disappoint you i'm sure we will achieve results. which you would use with them but now it looks like history might repeat itself but we can only hope for the best and look forward to a liberated terrorist free syria. russia's ambassador to the un claimed there is no

reason for damascus to use chemical weapons and that it would only risk going military response from western powers. russia's military meanwhile has repeated its claim that terrorists an adlib have started their final preparations for a possible false flag attack brings us the developments. the russian ministry of defense has been warning for two weeks of a possible false flag operation by militants in using chemical weapons a red line for the u.s. and its allies according to the russian military that possibility became clearer citing local residents in the town of the sugar they claim camera crews on site have recorded footage of an alleged chemical attack by the syrian government including video of what helmets rescuers treating supposed victims the footage says is to be sent to numerous channels imminently to justify a u.s.

led military intervention the us department of defense hasn't yet responded to us directly with comment on these claims although the u.s. has made their position clear they mowe uncertain terms just so there's no confusion here if the syrian regime uses chemical weapons we will respond very strongly he would have known forces have no chemical weapons and no plans to use them there is no military necessity for really. urge the international community to support collective efforts and syria's use of chemical weapons and we remain resolved to act. uses chemical weapons again we would use them all sensible people will not use militarily useless means to draw before three powerful countries upon themselves we have all seen what the syrian regime backed by the russian government has done in the past that should not be a surprise to anyone but that would be

a concern ourselves. we have the impression that u.s. threats against damascus aimed at preventing terrorist from being expelled there is not the first time the u.s. no matter which administration has. the task of changing dissident regimes above the common goals of our braddock aiding terrorism and extremism is. a back and forth of accusations and denounce the nations the u.s. has been clear that any use of chemical weapons will be attributed to the assad government and will result in military action moscow's claim of damascus simply has no logic in drawing the wrath of the u.s. military on themselves has been dismissed as a distraction tensions in the liberal pro-choice boiling point and anticipation of a government offensive against terrorist and rebel groups it's clear that any incident involving allegations of chemical weapons could be a spark for the outbreak of all out conflict between multiple parties aide worker apparently curve has been living in syria as

a lap over over two years told us that he doesn't believe the west despite what it is concerned about syrian civilians for me i believe that america also my country u.k. and all the countries who have been involved in the world today don't want to see the war getting all over so i think what they're fighting for is not that all you need to save to see. to day to like humanitarian risk but to not lose the war so i think this is the main proposed this is the big problem because the moment will be over of course the syrian army will move under not under no it is the american army the french army and recently do italian army so i think that today must the political speech not at all about they're about to maintain the war at all price and what may happen maybe that's terrific because not only it will be based on lights but it will be terrible for all the syrians today which just whatever side or not are trying to imagine that tomorrow will be over that we can stop it

this people are preaching that they are here to succeed and this is not true. as a side bombing has hit a protest in eastern afghanistan killing at least thirty two people but there it is say dozens more were injured the demonstration was calling for the resignation of the police commander local journalists the carrier has sunny brings us more. today afternoon exactly just a few minutes. later a suicide bomber actually targeted a group of sue williams who gathered in some provinces of afghanistan in one go to protest against a local police commander below. districts often anger hold which is sort of a caucus on both the taliban group and also isis group active in this province. hole is counted as one of the insecure problems of which this group is the at

work. correctly in this province and most of the launching such trying to of tax on civilian government civil government into situations more likely that also. you know conducted by the isis group. into plastic also conduct such kind of attacks on civilian gatherings in different parts of afghanistan and twin blasts also hit the same province in afghanistan today reports say a child with killed and four others entered a word of warning you may find the following images quite disturbing this is apparently one of those injured in the attack the first. rush hour outside a girls' school students from neighboring boys' school then gathered near the scene when a second explosion occurred witnesses say it was that second attack that cost the casualties it's a tactic known as double tap no group has claimed responsibility but the taliban

and islam mixtape have previously targeted the region all schools have been closed in jalalabad for the time being. the european parliament has been debating whether hungary should be stripped off its try to vote on e.u. with fierce supporters of the proposal clean the government's policy is breach the value of the union peter oliver has more. the european parliament came together in strasburg on tuesday for a plenary session on what to do about hungary and whether article seventy measures will be put in place on budapest what article seven essentially means is it's the ultimate political naughty step in the european union it strips all could strip and suspend the voting rights of hungry in the e.u. institutions essentially taking away their voice in the in the well the european family there were lots of allegations made against viktor orban his government and

the nation of hungary listen to a few of them now sadly the commission shares the concerns expressed in the report in particular as regards fundamental rights corruption the treatment of roma and the independence of the judiciary individuals in the government have envisaged themselves their family members deference from public funding from utopian taxpayers' money less alexian is this that we cannot close our eyes to the problems in hungary the elections this year were held in an atmosphere of aggression and intimidation of them gary and prime minister viktor orban was in stroudsburg to hear those allegations he was bullish in his response he said it didn't matter what he said he thought that mines that already been made up and he said that when allegations like this were made against himself and his government that they were insulting the history of hungary and the hungarian people or you are already made

up your mind i stand here to defend my country and this is a matter of honor this insults the honor of hungary this uses double standards and violates the treaties it says in our polls you want to make a moral decision based on numbers the nation be damned over vote on whether to sanction hungary will be on wednesday afternoon after the state of the union address by zhang cloyd younker and not vote when. it could be very close a lot will depend on how the european people's party group within the e.u. parliament on how they vote mr obama's own party is a member of that group who are expecting that overnight on tuesday into wednesday the latine a lot of. negotiations tense talks and wheeling and dealing inside the a.t.p. another foreign leader though his party is a member of that group in the european parliament is the austrian chancellor he

said he fully expects his members of the european parliament from his party to vote in favor of sanctions against hungry but mr off on did have some friendly voices in the room on wednesday even if they did use the opportunity to push their own agenda somewhat but it's not just your country that's been insulted today you've been insulted today child to be able logical covered enjoy the breaks you love it. so wednesday set to be a very busy day the state of the union address by john claudio first and then votes on whether article seven measures will be put in place against hungry i'll be bringing you all of it here on r.t. political commentator i'm told us that he believes that the hand garin prime minister has been unfairly treated by the e.u. . the accusations are absolutely insane. trying to stick to the long stick to the agreements they all did and now accusing them of violate these

agreements is alerts for migration problem one key issues in the european union that the minute that they're all it is probably the trillion hawse x. make the e.u. into you to get to explode. coming out right after the break we'll have the latest from the eastern economic forum which got underway and russia's a lot of us stock. its face for the next actual threat like china becoming a superpower will get its act together and like we did during the cold war after russia put up sputnik the us landed on the moon that's why i mention the list and

look if we have an extension crisis coming down the path guys like trump and other entrepreneurial. leaders will mobilize the country and i welcome this challenge because right now america doesn't have anybody else out there to play with you know . in a world of big partisan. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.

police and the u.s. city of north las vegas say one person has been killed in a shooting at a high school and they say they have not yet detained anyone in connection with the killing but there doesn't appear to be an active threat the motive for the crime is not known the public have been asked to avoid the area an investigation is now underway. well moving on to other news key leaders and business executives from across the asia pacific region have gathered and russia's port city of laddy last for the eastern economic forum and one of the most attention grabbing of an so far was a meeting between blatter impudent and the chinese president xi jinping the two leaders visited a far east themed acts of the show and while there they gave their cooking skills a world whipping up some pancakes together and then eating them with coffee are and the meeting didn't pass without

a lighthearted exchange over should the bill. we know that are going to be going to. be a pair of. blue tits the exhibit is that it was what it was because it was about the usa because it wanted to know where the real you are just remember what i'm. pretty apt to that exchange was put in then she held closed door talks with support for their national currencies key topic of discussion our correspondent in glad of last what else was on the agenda the key messages for a lot of our. paying in fly out of the world that there was great trust between beijing and moscow when it comes to politics defense and security business to keep growing stronger and stronger and most important the beijing and

moscow are looking to get off the dollar hole at least when it comes to bilateral trade mounting pressure from washington should the to succeed in ditching the dollar as their main currency of trade this could be a clear signal to other countries after all if moscow and beijing could pull it off . why couldn't others for one of the rounds of talks the leaders of russia and china word joined by the wealthiest businessmen from the two countries and there was also a behind closed door session the russian ambassador before that session began and had hinted that syria would be brought up anyway judging by what was said on tuesday there is every sign that russia and china will continue to act as team players on an international and global scene. report max keiser told us that he things were seeing

a realignment of the global order and a shift towards a multi-polar world. for the honor of pancake diplomacy i brought some waffles here you know to enjoy this spirit of bone i mean between she and putin russia and china because obviously with trump and gates going trade wars with china and sanctions on russia he's forcing these two countries to get together to a nice stack of pancakes they've created an alliance that the u.s. is not going to take on militarily that means that the u.s. dollar is in grave jeopardy of losing its status as a world reserve currency we have more a bilateral trade we have a more multipolar world we have different sensors of currency concentration and power and this will be i think a net negative for the u.s. in terms of its currency ability to govern much of the world economy this is

a totally new century we've got new multi-polar world germany is assumed to be a us ally but if you listen to the rhetoric coming out of berlin it seems as though germany is being kind of pushed into the russia china axis which is very interesting that means you've got russia china germany on one side of the geopolitical game board you've got the u.s. israel saudi arabia on another side britain is left out now because there are exiting the global commerce market they're going to disappear in a few years and that in such a sense of twenty first century and i think that with china leading the way sort of trying to build their way toward friendships versus the u.s. model of bombing the u.s. really has to start tap dancing to a different tune if they want to participate or be left out. and to barcelona now where castle and sam protests have been out in force and the spanish region people took to the streets to mark county lines and national day you know see here on from the independence referendum and the catalan parliament unilateral

declaration of independence according to some massive mange only stem million. catherine said tend at the celebration in decision back into which many seventeen propelled the country into a cross international crisis and was declared illegal by men treat. i'm. sorry to those in charge in the council on government who are the protagonist in this challenge to coexistence and i ask them to cease. they should abandon their objectives.

applying article one five five because no government to tour in a democratic country can accept to be ignored or be violated or changed this has all happened under false criteria and they impose that criteria on everybody else spanish historian alexander told us that it's unclear whether it be a latest display of pro independence feeling we'll have any real impact. postmaster threesomes have been a constant over the last seven years so. i wouldn't say so and the real question of course is where the news station is going to have an impact on the next stations

and wish and have on government that is there for the recovery and low number three to. demand independence and this year is that. the release of the politicians of the return of the exiles would be discussed the problem for spain then from going on is that you could tell and probably you can hear this initially outside of the communion would be it's were very very taciturnity and so we're casting it's always difficult for a tough for both countries so imagine. the un human rights chief has sent a delegation is to italy and austria to verify home how my gran's there are being treated that's after a reported increase and racist attacks in those countries it to his decision to close it seaports denying intreat to m g o rescue ships had serious consequences

for the most vulnerable even though we're seeing a big drop in the numbers coming from libya over the past twelve months the number of those who died during the crossing is high in the first six months of twenty eighteen than it was the flow of arrivals same to the e.u. has decreased overall roll compared to last year that's a trend that's added into an absolutely but the country still receives a large number the drop in arrivals comes after a popular government took power in june and tightened two arms like ration policy. it's a race in terror a minister is and the crosshairs over at the new rules is now under investigation for alleged abuse of office kidnapping and illegal rast after he forced a rescue ship with one hundred and fifty refugees to stay in port for five days or shellfish are not spoke exclusively to mental salvini about the strain then why growing crisis has placed on you up.

there are some international missions that brought tens of thousands of my going to italy alone i think the citizens of pay my salary in order for me to control who is entering my country other european countries like france will close the borders and send back fifty thousand people and then try to lecture us. no no no. i don't have enemies i see things very differently from on your microphone and i'm glimmer on economics immigration the future of europe islam and terrorism we've come a long way there's a historical opportunity next may to finally change the balance in europe and to change our relations with countries beyond europe as well i'm thinking of russia because i've been saying for years now that i'm in government i will work on it because sanctions against russia do not make any konami political social cultural

sense. well you know but you know i'm not against europe i'm in favor of a year of the does few things but does the nwo leaving freedom of choice on other fronts for individual states this government is already built partnerships in the united states in russia and in china because your population and economic power who diminish more and more. unfortunately in brussels and in europe they only understand the language of money therefore they're not talking about principles values of solidarity but economic issues the e.u. is now discussing the budget for the next seven years seeking to get it approved we devote all countries and we the italian government from prime minister down have already said that if there is no agreement on the other issues on banking policy i would coach a policy immigration we won't vote for the budget. millions of people across the u.s. have been commemorating the seventieth anniversary of the nine eleven terror attacks

right now you can see live pictures from one had two high powered blue lights symbolizing the twin towers beaming up into the sky. tells us her car and he has new york's a memorial plaza where the towers stood family members of the almost three thousand victims surfaces of pacing in the ceremony their reading the names of the debt they commemorate events started with the ringing of a bell and a period of silence at eight forty six am the time that first step into hijacked planes hits the world trade center.

a ceremony has also taken place near the pentagon where one hundred eighty four people were killed in a very hijacked plane was flown into the boat saying. you're watching our team your national will be back was a morning mr right at the top of the hour. make this manufacture consent to stick to the public will. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final clearing go round lifts and be the one percent. we can all middle of the room see. room. for.

what politicians to. put themselves on the line and begin. accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to be rich. but you'd like to be close as like them before three of them or can't be good. interested always in the waters and look out. there certainly. seemed wrong. just don't call. me. yet to say proud this day to come to council. and engage. the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.

the be. the best.

following welcome to cross talk we're all things are considered i'm peter lavelle.
