i'm saying that people with responsibility should be more careful when it comes to aggressive rhetoric here's the quote the russian spokesperson was responding to. the counter measures would be to take out the missiles that are in development by russia in violation of the treaty which is essentially a warning from moscow the u.s. envoy to nato kay bailey hutchinson has said if russia does not put a stop to its covert development of a band cruise missile system then the u.s. will seek to destroy it before it's operational the u.s. believes that russia is working on a ground launch system that would have the ability to launch a nuclear strike on europe on short notice now the development of such a system would be in breach of a cold war treaty this is the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty it was signed by president reagan and gorbachev in one thousand nine hundred seventy now while ambassador hutchinson said that the u.s. favors a diplomatic solution should any situation arise she also added that america is not

against moving forward with developments are not allowed by the treaty right now we can hear more of what he had to say getting them to withdraw would be our choice of course but i think the question was what would you do if this continues to a point where we know that they're capable of delivering and at that point we would then be looking into keep ability to take out a missile that could hit any of our countries in europe and hit america in alaska now the russian ministry has yet to respond to these latest comments but it's not the first times that accusations have been made and moscow has consistently denied any such violations meanwhile nato secretary-general un stoltenberg has also weighed in he's spoken of concerns for what he calls russia's lack of respect for its international commitments but such finger pointing we should point out is nothing new when it comes to violations of this treaty reports in the telegraph almost a year ago claim that the u.s. has already developing its own ground based cruise missiles are in breach of the

historic accord. somewhere in the southern italian town known for his program has been arrested for allegedly helping immigrants illegally obtain the right to remain in the country here's our europe correspondent peter oliver. domenico latino is the mayor of the small town of reaction so than it's really now he came to prominence after he well opened up his town to refugees and migrants taken as many as five hundred into the town of just eighteen hundred for this he was awarded the dressed in peace prize and twenty seventeen he was also in twenty sixteen named as one of the fifty greatest leaders in the world in fact he said that helping refugees in migrants was his calling i have a strong mission to understand the difficulties people face who arrive here and i have to say that those people who have arrived are probably

a product of the unfair world well he's now found himself the target of the. day they are the italian government's federal law enforcement authority when it comes to financial crimes and they've charged him with a number of well of offenses he's charged with having sorted out sham marriages for refugees and migrants with citizens of his village in order to allow people to stay he's also accused of not to tearing to the procedure is the correct procedures when it comes to handing out routes and contracts for garbage disposal now italy stance when it comes to refugees and migrants has changed in recent times they've moved away from the policies of the said to right government that was operated under mettie or renzi and the new coalition government certainly has picked up a populist and more well anti migrant view this coalition between the five star movement and the league headed up by the prime minister giuseppe conti they've

really changed tack in put forward a far more well stronger view and stronger politics when it comes to refugees and migrants from italy that we've seen in the past. a prominent m.p. from britain's ruling conservative parties under fire after he may. the joking reference to libya jacob riis mauger called the african state the people's republic of germany general something of his party's annual conference. so. the work. this is quite a bizarre comment to be heard from a well known politician referencing another nation this was indeed hard line breaks a tear and tory m.p. jacob green small speaking on the sidelines of the annual a conservative party conference and what he was actually referencing was the great socialist people's

libyan arab jamahiriya which is roughly translated as a state of masses and that's what the north african nation of libby used to be called under more market duffy yet he chose those words instead and reaction was very swift to follow deary me jacob reese mogue your first attempt at global diplomacy has failed in a bit of casual racism did you and boris johnson have the same job if you teach at eton college maybe now is the time to learn some respect for other countries little england jacob riis malk shows his disdain for the rest of the world this tawdry tory government has had its time bush it deserves better than this inward looking bunch of unworldly has been and never was this sort of remark is becoming too common from the bracks it is coming as it does in the wake of boris's recent. insulting other people is not the way i want my country represented and the public see it for what it is petty politics the reason those boris johnson burka jibes and

boris johnson in general get mentioned in a few of those reactions is because a former u.k. foreign secretary has himself come under fire on many occasions for quite controversial comments for the burkas he had just recently compared women wearing them to. letterboxes causing quite a bit of controversy here in the u.k. but with these latest comments on libya they do seem quiet strange indeed especially given the role that britain had cleaned and the destiny of libya as a nation. writer abdel bari atwan believes this kind of language can be heard all through british politics and society. politicians g.p.'s she serves as she did not notice us because actually. the military is destroying you can't do it under a false accusation. of this. woman's government you will die and leave me and leave.

and. this is the problem. with this issue they should be ashamed and so we should actually have on. our way out what is happening in the world don't believe all the talk so how do you see your human rights. donald trump has fulfilled one of his campaign promises and that's a new trade deal between the us canada and mexico but the announcement of the landmark agreement was overshadowed by sexual misconduct allegations against trump supremes court nominee brett kavanaugh and it also added fuel to the president standoff with the press pack. truly historic good news this will be a new dawn this landmark agreement that incredible new this new deal will be the most modern up to date and balanced trade agreement in the history of our country

brett kavanaugh fools is there a plan b. i have two questions about judge cavanagh if we can mr president you said that it's incorrect to say you're limiting the scope of the f.b.i. investigation what does that have to do is read i don't mind answering the question but you know like i'd like to do the trade has to do with the other headline in the news which is the kind of what i know but then how about talking about trade and then we'll get to that you have a question in drag will you want to get more questions later and several question if you don't do that that's not just for the judge if somebody is before you excuse me don't do that you have a question on trade you answered several but you have a question on trade she's shocked that a picture. like a state of. i'm not thinking about something and you know i think you never do it was trump's big day as he unveiled a new deal with canada and mexico that's supposed to replace nafta and if you remember he once called nafta the worst deal ever but trump's replacement deal is apparently a historic transaction the deal which took over a year to negotiate is called the united states mexico canada agreement and it will

apparently solve all of the problems with nafta as in it will open markets to farmers and manufacturers and reduce trade barriers but during his campaign trump had promised to either renegotiate nafta or break it so this new deal fulfills that promise but at the press conference journalist weren't concerned about the deal they were really interested in the capital case and to remind the viewers tabun as a supreme court nominee who was accused of sexual harassment some have even said the trumps moment was stolen from him so an important development in economic policy was once again overshadowed by the latest liberal scandal of the moment and it doesn't look like it will stop anytime soon though without a parental status could be on the verge of change in britain in an unprecedented court case under way right now as a transgender man fights over the mother on birth certificates the details among all stories after the break.

zombie banks plague that spilled over to zombie corporations what is a zombie banks zombie bank is a bank that's to complain solvent it's kept alive by bailouts continuing rolling bailouts from the central banks because of their friends in the other the banks the commercial banks the lawyers the ages p.c. b.n.p. citibank they're technically insolvent they're going to live in a zombie to the perpetual rolling a bailout they call quantitative easing or some other name that they come up with

every few months. welcome back palestinian university students who have clashed with israeli forces in the west bank city of ramallah the soldiers used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the protesters. demonstrators threw stones and set tires on fire the rally was staged in protest against the demolition of a village in the west bank which is home to one hundred eighty palestinian

protesters there also continuing to make a stand as the israeli nation state little has taken place for the past couple of days no claim of the nor makes israeli arabs second class citizens. unprecedented cork a sim britain could see historic changes to the rights of transgender parents and if successful it would mean a biological mother may no longer be required on british birth certificates at the center of the legal battle is a single parent who became pregnant but since childbirth has been legally registered as a male and undergone surgery he wants to be identified as the father or parent and not being allowed to do so violates his human right to privacy and family life in the floor right now it states that he must appear is the biological mother on the birth certificate and all that is preventing him from receiving welfare and state benefits among other things. well 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 father or simply parent according to personal preference we got the views of political

commentator david vance and. campaigner peter tatchell. the question this case raises is who should be on the birth certificate shouldn't necessarily be a mother or father or could it just be a 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 the 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 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 have given birth and they have very accepted that they should be named as the mother are so this case is unique and it's different but i think the number of instances that will be involved in a similar circumstance is so so tiny we should not get our heads up about us and we should just make the accommodation but i cater to. your peter peter the law is not based on 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 that reality . but returning to one of our headline stories the u.s. ambassador to nato who threaten russia with a preemptive strike against its missiles claiming they're in breach of a cold war era missile treaty we can talk now to international affairs commentator

john peel welcome back to r.t. now i know that belligerent language is par for the course since trump got into the white house but this is an ambassador talking the first threat of its kind since the end of the cold war does it say anything significant to you about the state of u.s. russian relations right now well as it says something about the need to keep. active and spending more and more money on defense it's just a shooter comments in advance of a nature to the meeting in brussels of which your secretary of defense. and i think she's trying to raise interest. rates a little bit of alarm as well so john and who's been pushing this do you think is it just down to the pentagon or do you think this is had the white house stamp of approval. i think it probably has the white house stamp of approval to remain these are very are carrying issues to do with the range of different missiles. bridges

still being developed there and they're not being flown yet and so is it's almost a theological argument because we're talking about things that isare abstract and unknowable invisible to ordinary people into most of the intelligence agencies nature itself except the american ones so you just have to take the moment trust or at least you just have to listen to them and listen to the denials richard come from the russian side to say that it's not true what's being alleged but even if it is just a verbal warning shot across the bows as far as ambassador to said is concentric a congo unnoted on the other side can it a contest be brushed aside how bad could this get well that's why the russians have continued to deny that they are developing this missile. and as i say it's very hard to know exactly what the range of different missiles is until they're lots of test flights and you can measure what the impact was and whether they did in fact have the range that alleged so the russian service are just denying it which is

fairly well keeping cool it's notions of trying to threaten in some return then we would be really worried that at the moment it's one sided accusation alone not on the other side and in the past go for russia's accuse the u.s. of seeking to dismantle the i.n.f. treaty on the pretext of russia's alleged violations on this do you think this could then be washington's way of trying to wriggle out of the deal. but it is a little bit and of course read you have seen since the treaty was signed in one thousand nine hundred seventy and these medium range based on a cruise missiles. is an antique newsted missile systems being installed by the americans in europe which undermined russian ability to counterattack against gentian first strike by the american search we're going to bring in the anti missile teaches as well as the and she misses the ability to such features defense teaches against the new age to attack teaches the ins so again it comes to
