is there a plan b. questions about what does that have to do is i don't mind answering the question but you know what i'd like to do the trade has to do with the other headline in the news sexual assault allegations against donald trump supreme court nominee overshadowed the announcement of a crucial new trade deal with america's neighbors. on the program this hour germany reportedly joins european countries on greenlight some multimillion dollar arms deal with saudi arabia. cry over the saudis participation in the yemeni conflict. and civil war inside claimed almost eight

times more lives than previously thought so according to a newly released. just one am in the three pm in melbourne in the morning right here in moscow welcome to our to international i mean you know neal our top story donald trump fulfilled one of his campaign promises a new trade deal between america canada and mexico but the announcement of the landmark agreement was overshadowed by sexual misconduct allegations against a u.s. president's supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh and it also added fuel to trump standoff with the media truly historic news this will be a new dawn this landmark secretary galvin williams has unveiled a new strategy for the arctic. calling russia the biggest threat to the region

eight hundred u.k. through due to be deployed to norway next year there have been disputes for decades over territorial claims on the planet's most northern point over on top natural resources on the sea bed the british defense ministry ses the arctic and high north are now crucial to the country's security envy antic and high north is increasing their military presence to deal with this we will be launching our new defense arctic strategy beyond the high nor financial we must be ready ready to deal with the threats as they emerge the new defense arctic strategy will put the arctic in high north central to the security of the united kingdom has got nor will we're just a mcqueen no whatsoever so what we're doing putting a hundred troops at some considerable expense in norway and all of the cheapest countries in the world so i don't quite get what is going on because it hundred

troops is a drop in new ocean this is not a serious force if you're talking about a conventional grown war goodness sake but you know that the atmosphere is weird that the commander of the new british super aircraft carrier came out in the media yesterday and said that britain would win a naval war with russia firstly what at all if there is no possibility of a naval war with russia secondly if there was a war with russia it wouldn't just be an evil war it would be a disaster so i've no idea what this gung ho attitude is that really you know this we should be stepping up the ante by talking all the time about this military threat from russia the idea that russia is about to launch a conventional war in the arctic which is all these commanders could be there for a hundred of them not enough to stop any serious operation is a bit mind boggling so i think firstly this is playing to the gallery of the conservative party conference secondly it's a boat the continued expansion of nato forces i rode on the borders of the former so on and into the former soviet union. now germany has approved

a new arms exports to saudi arabia worth almost three hundred million dollars that is according to german media citing government officials now the move came despite strong criticism of the saudis for their participation in the yemeni conflict which has resulted in thousands of civilian casualties but. reports there's plenty more foreign countries willing to send weapons to riyadh. innocent lives being taken away in yemen by saudi bombs you may get the impression it's a big deal for them we are all concerned about the pulling humanitarian situation in yemen and the risk of home to civilian populations this is the worst humanitarian crisis that is the current humanitarian disaster this cannot become a forgotten crisis speaking of deals guess who saudi arabia and its coalition

friends get their war machines from. these are called like clerk tanks made to joint they by france and germany here they are in a yemeni desert. if it hadn't been for an m.r.i. the mogul who once served as a middleman between paris and abu dhabi we might have never learned about the nuts and bolts of the tank purchase but the guy didn't get his commission fee for his job as a broker he went on to sue the french eventually we can leak spilled the beans on the trial and the contract numbers the contract with the government of the u.a.e. was concluded on sixth of april one thousand nine hundred ninety three for the delivery of three hundred eighty eight combat tanks leclaire forty six tank

recovery armored vehicles two training tanks spare parts ammunition and various other deliveries at a price of three billion six hundred thirteen million four hundred sixty seven thousand two hundred twenty three dollars over three and a half billion bucks worth of tanks one of the coalition's many tools to reduce yemen to rubble of course the saudis see it as a fight against terrorism. up next missiles. i'll show you another contract the money has already been paid although delivery is still pending saudi arabia is getting four hundred u.s. made laser guided missiles from spain they cost riyadh nine point two million

euros that's pennies compared to the tanks i told you about earlier but the newly elected spanish government was having second thoughts about the deal eventually though they all vanished knowing which in one thousand we found no reason to fill a commitment we've made a decision that we have shown at this contract that we have this brings us to one of the biggest armed deals in the history of canada. auto was been wary of what's going on with human rights in saudi arabia however change of government in ottawa doesn't. lead to the cancellation of contracts previously signed but moving forward we are committed to the kind of openness transparency and rigor or the number of zeroes on the twelve billion dollar paycheck is just way too tempting so hundreds of canadian made armored

vehicles will be heading to the middle east next stop you hear politicians get emotional over innocent victims in yemen picture a massive dollar sign and your head there are the issues of. arms manufacturers and of course lawyers the united states something like sixty to seventy percent of the arms in some degree units but the english the french the germans. the norwegians and historically. so. that's never going to economic interest the current leadership of saudi arabia feels empowered to name what they're back in the us you . well on that monday saudi arabia admitted it had made mistakes in its attacks in yemen during its three year campaign which has left more than ten

thousand civilians dead that statement through criticism from the united nations which stated there is no evidence that anyone was sanctioned over those so-called errors. at least relieved and an endless source of nutrition at times when there were all the food program lex food for us tree leaves one man from. you know i don't let me get. one of my children suffers from a natural deficiency and doubt just had that either had a kidney infection or my dad because of this and because of the lack of aid and clean water.

you're back with r t international nearly two hundred thousand people gathered in the spotless city of barcelona on monday evening they were marking the one year anniversary of the cattle independence referendum that madrid deemed illegal police were out in force to break up the march. was. was. i was.

was was was. was is erupted between protesters and the police in front of the regional parliament in barcelona. rubber bullets were used to break up the crowds campaigners burned. chanted pro separatist slogans earlier in the day activists blocked major roads really lines of course the rest of the region. ok to tell the story that's got a lot of people talking a test case in england could be about to make historic changes to the rights of parents in the country the unprecedented situation could reverse the previous requirement for a mother to be registered on every birth certificate without the center of the legal battle is a single parent who was born a woman but now lives as

a man after undergoing surgery he wants to be identified as the fall of her or parent unsafe that not being allowed to do so violates his human right to privacy and family life english law however states that he must appear as the biological mother on the birth certificate the situation is preventing him from receiving state benefits. well while this is a unique case in england since twenty sixteen the u.s. state of california has given parents the choice to pick between mother or father or simply person to according to personal preference well as i say of this house caused a lot of debate we got the views of a l g b t campaigner peter tatchell political commentator david toms. the question this case raises is who should be on the birth certificate shouldn't necessarily

be mother or father or could it just be parent i would think that it's not really important for legal reasons or any other practical reason why has to be a mother peter just said this let's remove mother from the birth certificate and replace it with something more more nonspecific such as parent but mothers give birth the kids sorry spoiler alert that's how it's been that's how it was always going to be and no one minds of debate are going to change that biological fact why why not just be make a reasonable accommodation in the small number of cases to acknowledge this person of the parents of the child will know that this person is their parent legally as well as in reality this child would become the first child in the history of this country and i but i believe anywhere else on their birth certificate the word mother is missing so just consider this for a moment can you imagine the cycle arm psychological damage that this would impact

that child you know the child will probably find it different and unusual but as we have seen with same sex parents children get a handle on things pretty quickly love is about you know a parent's commitment and care for a child. what's on the birth certificate really doesn't affect that love and commitment in those instance that you that you've mentioned same sex couples regardless of the configuration the child was always born to a woman simple biological fact you know what i mean that's not being judgmental it's being it's being it's a fine dish and the fact that we must not be we must not run away from just because it might hurt some people's feelings there have been transmit some. in a similar situation you have given birth and they have accepted they should be named as the mother so this case is unique and is different but i think the number

of instances that will be involved in a similar circumstance is so slow to time the we should not get hot heads up about us and we should just make the accommodation but. yet peter peter the law is not be asked on on exceptions the law must apply to all you just can't operate it the way that you'd like to so the fact of the matter is that this child was born to a woman and there for the birth certificate should reasonably reflect reality. over ninety palestinians have been wounded by is really gunfire during clashes in the west bank and gaza that's according to the palestinian health ministry palestinian activists used fifty fishing boats in an attempt to reach israel by sea they were protesting the twelve year long blockade of the protests were also aimed at israel's controversial nation state law which palestinians say makes them second
