donald trump's trade was showing no signs of abating old fogies japan and china are making the best of a bad situation signing a new economic deals together also to come this hour it's only refuses to back down over its budget plans despite them being rejected by brussels one italian m.e.p. even used to ashamed to demonstrate just what he thinks of the respondents and in

germany polls predict the anti immigration a if the party will end up with the seats with seats in all of the sixteen of the countries regional parliaments that as the last remaining region votes on sunday and there is campaigning full throttle . but she reflects on just a minute. if. it's just gone five pm here in moscow are you watching the international. japan china relations are on the story turning point that's according to japan's prime minister speaking at a summit with his chinese counterpart it is the first visit to the country by a japanese leader for bilateral talks in nearly seven years the current thought

follow she is of territorial disputes it takes a look now what is led to the change. the japanese prime minister is in china and he's smiling. that was him with the chinese premier who was smiling too. so why of course these kind of guys put up a happy face for the cameras during the protocol handshake well sometimes things between countries get so bad that even handshakes can save the day. but both leaders surely would have preferred not to stand there together like that just a few years ago the gloves were off between beijing and tokyo because of these tiny islands in the east china sea just to realize how much i hate that land dispute generated have

a look at this. the i really wouldn't want to be a japanese car owner in china back in the days the two thousand and twelve conflict was spiraling out in all shapes and forms mr mr she didn't even talk on the phone up until may this year today though we're pretty much back to seeing the new un friendship with the chinese state run media telling us this kind of stuff so what happened what kind of magical friendship did the several in the dragon get prescribed maybe it was the donald trump pill the world knew mr trump was on a mission to give beijing a real business beating the united states has just announced tariffs on another two hundred billion dollars in chinese made goods china's market distortions.

and the way they deal. cannot be tolerated but who knew the president will then take aim at his biggest asia ally japan and his economic bowling well last month the media got a trade war to pay off and anyway the steel and element tariffs had already kicked in you know how it works now america first. we understand that president trump wants to reduce the trade deficit but i think it's very important for president trump and his administration to find out the root cause of why there is a trade deficit in america i think there is a possibility that they do not yet understand why and so the world silver and bronze medalists and g.d.p. are shaking hands smiling and are possibly even ready to team up what will the golden boy have to say in a blanket reporting there were lazy pacific experts who toes that trump is the only

go to myself to blame for china and japan getting closer together. did not expect that. other countries would be able to set aside their differences and get to get to the table with each other has been relatively easily as they have been able to do so but at the end of the day the us which has to britain which has to carry the blame for this both the countries are frankly for seeing lateral and hostile trade enforcement action from the trumpet ministration china primarily but i would also suggest that part of the reason for the coming together is because both countries realize the important players. and that without speaking to each other the relationship their relationship with each other as well as the larger geo political environment in which they operate becomes

a little more negative. now shoes whether flung at speakers or banged on podiums to make the occasional appearance in politics now after the rejected to sleaze proposed new budget it was the turn of an italian m.e.p. to put his foot or rather he shoe down. it is the first time the european commission has rejected any member states budget proposal the bloc three weeks to revise its spending plans are seized on quarter breaks down the dispute. brussels is sharpening its knife in preparation for a new battle with rome for the first time the e.u. has flat out rejected a member states budget demanding

a resubmission. for the first time as a commission is obliged to a. country that it was off budget. but we see no alternative to. it all and to do so it is really into the whole. the e.u. claims that italy's debt situation is out of control and that salvini is government needs to tighten its purse strings and fulfill its obligations the euro skeptics say it doesn't have anything to do with money since there are other states with bloated budgets that have never felt such a heavy hand from brussels this is the first time in budget the e.u. doesn't like no surprise this is the first italian budget written in rome and not in brussels. you tell me an economy is healthy and this is an economic move that will give. needs we want change one comma in this document to.

be you know to go to. the. on. the future. spain belgium portugal and slovenia have all been in violation of the e.u. agreements in the past and for years france has broken the three percent deficit threshold imposed on it by the e.u. as for debt it's been in the red since two thousand and two and only this year the second largest european economy received a carefully worded letter in response asking all very politely to reduce its debts . we thank you for sending we from twenty nine thousand draft budget that we received on october fifteenth we would like to ask you for more details the commission's preliminary assessments also indicate that the growth rate for france does not respect the reference rate of ditch reduction in twenty nineteen so italy

refused to be taken to heel by this double standard. except the e.u. commissioner in charge of budgets didn't seem to find the stunt very funny even connecting the italian shushan and against to a potential quick path to fascism the episode of the made in italy shoe is grotesque at first you smile and we trivialize it because it's ridiculous but then we start getting used to this kind of muted symbolic violence and one day we wake up with fascism stay alert democracy is a fragile treasure or the draft budget would have seen over five hundred million dollars worth of cuts to defense spending while putting more money towards social welfare and tax cuts not exactly a sound way to revive fascism and certainly not a good way to be a shoo in with the e.u. donald quarter r.t. . meanwhile in germany angela merkel's hard for

a grand coalition could be in for another setback polls are predicting a poor show in regional elections in the state of hesse on sunday among the main contenders of the green party allied with other left wing forces but the right wing alternative for germany party is also expected to strengthen its position as peter oliver reports the party known for its anti immigration stance is said to chalk up another milestone in german politics just over a year since they shocked the country by entering the border start for the first time polls predict that this sunday alternative for germany will enter the state parliament in ahead for the first time that will mean that they have representation in all six. steen german states as well as the national parliament head of the voting alternative for germany have been campaigning aggressively. just a minute and that momentum and the sticky see. if he. holds

a special place for alternative for germany or the air it was at a meeting there back in february twenty fifth the party was formed setting themselves out from the get go as an anti establishment group focused on the economy. the parties in the bundestag and bundesrat don't do any politics in the interests all consideration of germany and europe. in the five years since its formation alternative for germany has been widely criticized by those who condemn what they see as its populist and racist stance. enjoy many has the rhetoric of the one nine hundred twenty s. and we'll move to karl and the continent see evil have a blatant problem with anti semitism the whole of the anti liberal anti civic party in the us yes. i was here. despite that they have enjoyed

steady growth in the polls here in germany at times even coming in as the second largest political group in the country while taking up seats in has so would see them represented in all sixteen of germany states they aren't going to see this as job done or out. they just a ruling. of the heads of the people they are doing things well the people don't want be as a politician we have to serve to be able to do what the people want is not only avoid the. indeed if you look. other european countries in whole or in how degree insurers like i already own a piece of our ruling the same in our studio at the f.b.o. . and we see now also italy. and.

all those movements all those you have proudly speech are behaving the same way you like the eat they becoming stronger and stronger and in many countries in europe they are already on the far. white supremacists running as the republican congressional candidate in the chicago area is trying to appeal to voters in the arab community with anti israeli and and some gay rhetoric jones placed a campaign ad in an arab american newspaper although he didn't quite get the reaction he wanted. you know the holocaust is a fact i think you know it's real here they're. ridiculous . are white severe you're blacks. no question about it you know that's racist to

that view no that's true but i consider myself a way to refill those. in other news fan violence is modest second game in european football this week clashes erupted between supporters of. the head of the europa league match in the

french port city on thursday night. police were forced to intervene in east to gas to separate the french and italian supporters roughly eighty fans from each side are said to have been involved in this three were injured local media reports claim a number of last year fans were dressed in black and carrying knives and bats the club is known to have a violent far right fringe among support it's. still had the saharan r.t. a school in the us has pulled its own production of aladdin after parents tonight's the play's anti arab we'll have more on that plus of the stories take just up.

most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest read in truth to stand losing you since you just read as the right questions bam the right answer . question. seems wrong but i. just don't. get to shape out just the attic. and in gay trade equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

after years of bloody war in syria the country is slowly beginning to look to the future on saturday russia to see france and germany meet in an attempt to get a lasting political settlement back on the agenda the un envoy to syria staffan de mistura has also said he'll brief the meeting on the current situation in the country where earlier i talked to earlier l.t.a. a member of the orthodox community in syria about hopes for tomorrow's gathering. well i think each one is looking for his part of the cake which means his problem france germany have their own problem which is the. who

are all regionally especially france they have a big number of people who went to fight in syria and now they're afraid that if they go back to france what's going to happen to germany about immigrant is about also how they should keep their influence in syria but i think the russian are still trying to talk about the unity of syria where they don't accept like syria in which the syrian government or the accept not a single syrian would accept that syria will be part of syria will be taken up part . of what part of the kurds are doing so syria will be united but i think they are meeting just because each one has a problem we're not talking about a global problem each one will be talking about his own problem things are looking more like settled in military except for to region majorly people are coming back to their home a lot of the region are destroyed so people are not seeing anymore where they could live the international building of syria that everybody was expecting that the

european and american are refusing to move anything out of it without having a political settlement the return of the refugees from abroad which is something is going to take time well the problem is rebuilding syria everyone is talking about rebuilding. stones if i mean use this word rebuilding buildings is something you get money you can do it but rebuilding the. social. between people the relation between people which was in syria in the past and syria was very proud of that having. a one of the biggest diversity in religion in ethnic group all those people lived really well with each other now to rebuild it it's not anymore it's not as easy as it was but without it. syria want to be syria what it was. the u.n. humanitarian aid agency has confirmed the deaths of twenty one people in a saudi coalition air strike close to the yemeni port city of who died or the

attack hit an outdoor fruit and vegetable market a dozen people are also reported to have been wounded ospital chief say all victims are civilians with children among the dead this is how one witness described what happened. it was. through washing and packaging and the plane came and hit us from above as we were working. well the u.n. calls the yemeni war the worst manmade humanitarian crisis in the world with twenty two million in dire in dire need of assistance up to fourteen million people also face starvation the saudi led incursion in the country began in twenty fifteen with the aim of restoring the ousted government riyadh has repeatedly denied they were attacking areas where civilians are present author abdel bari atwan told us that the international community instead of standing by should actually stand up against the military attacks on yemen. well i believe that there's a community now is concentrating on that that journalist. this actually.

that crime in itself should. make the international community concentrate on the bigger one bigger muscle which is taking place in yemen in more than three years and until now it is absolutely. beautiful it is hypocrisy of the international community why they are silent is it because saudi is rich is it because they can't make money by sending weapons especially you know european countries and you know states i don't believe this kind of hypocrisy is should continue there should be as bad as trying to stand against this in that region and to what ended. ok let's show you some live pictures now these are from the garza israel border where palestinian great march will return rallies are reaching me black smoke as you can see has been seen covering the areas large fires are started in the area protesters are carrying flags and shouting slogans the great march

return began in march with palestinians demanding the right to go back to their families pre nine hundred forty eight homes since then dozens of demonstrators have been killed and hundreds wounded in clashes with israeli defense forces. and no genie in a bottle it seems can save aladdin at a school in baltimore county in the u.s. because it's canceled its production of the famous story because it was thought to be anti arabic. it has been brought to our attention the disney's aladdin junior has historically been criticized for its inaccurate negative stereotyping of arabic culture after careful consideration and with him perform the perspectives of teachers parents and community members we decided that this production is not the best fit for our community. in the play arabs are described as barbaric those are the exact words they used and the actual play was very controversial apparently in

the early ninety's it's not the first time the supposed barbarism of aladdin has provoked anger a year after the release of the disney film the lyrics of the opening song were actually changed the original version included a line about cutting off is and it was replaced with a description of the desert although not everybody sees offense in the story and some parents have criticised the school's cancellation of the play they're saying we're a community but yet they didn't even ask anyone they just made this decision by themselves middle east analyst john howard jar believes that sometimes people are too easily offended. it seemed to me more to be about a love story it's an animated movie it's a disney movie does the you know wants to attract as large an audience as possible so i don't think there's anything in it that's particularly offensive anyone who wants to claim victim status you know it to their benefit to the the other side as it risks being. called a bigot or intolerant or

a hater of some some kind and in everybody has a very low sensitivity to that so really it relies a lot on solve policing for people to say really is this really that offensive is this really doing harm to the group that it's claiming the harm or is it or is it just a you know a very minor matter that should just be overlooked and that brings you up to date that's how the news is looking safe today here and i say we're back with more in just over half an hour. running just over caught up close to the best out of georgia. the concepts

most pain to perform i have actually prepared myself to die. he'd want to say trust when asked and. as mr. sloan in the home of well done us that time. was. scantiness. and he had a good. sort of getting. is that he could with us the. yes camp deep mission. thing. here your job was. join me everything on the alec simon shore and i'll be speaking to get us out of

the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. make this manufactured consent to step into public wealth. when the ruling classes can protect themselves. with the financial merry go round listen to the one percent. to ignore middle of the room six. million real news room.

while give easy vasan this us. for unions yeah yeah. rational and. desirable of the feel. good when you go cause i'm not. zooming. through them should. he be. was a small. fortune for the automobile out of both. says

harlan kentucky. the employee says he was going to agree. to. a co money city with almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the coal was the said. that it was a lot of these people the survivors of disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's happening it's happened.

hello and welcome the cross like we're all things considered i'm peter lavelle after almost two years in office many still question whether donald trump has a coherent foreign policy the same cannot be said about the president's nash. security adviser john bolton when you think of bolton the word subtlety in diplomacy don't come to mind so is there now a bolton doctrine. ross talking bolton's foreign policy i'm joined by my guess could see an oxford he's

a senior policy consultant at the british american security information council in san francisco we have john rainwater he is the executive director of peace action and in new york we cross to alice slater she is a member of the coordinating committee of world beyond war and affect everyone i'm going to go to the john first in san francisco so i always go to the person that gets up early is for this and i'm very thankful that you did get up so early and i wouldn't be surprised if you had a coffee mug in your hand john let me go to donald trump was campaigning in after he was elected everyone was saying that he was going to be an isolationists then he went through a few iterations of his foreign policy team and now with john bolton on the scene and apparently calling a lot of the shots when the fear of isolationism is really turned into the worry of unilateralism in a time when multi-lateralism is gaining pace your thoughts john go ahead.
