country which is what aren't the moniker the war of the nation are came across got me now hewas brings us the story behind the end of world war one from the palace of versailles and france. war does not start nor does it end in just one day and one hundred years ago and the palace behind me the treaty of versailles was signed with the hopes of ending one war and preventing another the treaty which was signed up five years after the assassination of austrian our six friends ferdinand required germany and our allies to take responsibility for the loss and damage done by the war it was president woodrow wilson's january one thousand nine hundred fourteen point speech outlining ideas for conflict resolution and peace that later would lead to the treaty of versailles and contained a fission for the creation of a multi nation diplomatic group to avoid future bloodshed but upon the end of the war not all allied nations were in accord in one thousand nine hundred the senate
10:31 am
rejected a peace treaty for the first time in its history and the us refused to join the league of nations dignitaries and leaders from almost all of the twenty seven countries who originally signed the treaty of versailles gathered again together this weekend in paris to celebrate the one hundred year anniversary of the sandy of the armistice which was the end of fighting on land sea and air peace was a concept the majority of them talked about in their speeches however it was their other words and their actions which gave us the impression of the exact opposite we will protect europeans unless we decide to create a real european army with russia that has shown that it could be a threat i want to build a real security dialogue it is a country that i respect and that is european but we need to have a europe that defends itself by itself and not depending only on the united states and in a more sovereign manner because i feel no. alternative military forces are not
10:32 am
a new idea president micron has simply revived it europe is a large powerful economic unit and obviously it seeks independence and sovereignty in terms of defense and security i see it as a positive process in terms of strengthening the multipolar world president mccrone of france has just suggested that europe build its own military in order to protect itself from the us china and russia very insulting but perhaps europe should first pay its fair share of nato which the us subsidizes greatly the risk is that we go back to relations based on strength only mechanisms based on incentives and sanctions and a spiral of budding conflicts this is why i cannot accept an attack on multilateralism and multilateralism is required more than ever before the armistice and end of world war one came with the hopes of preserving peace and world order as a leader of the of the world gather in twenty eight to commemorate and highlight
10:33 am
a common need for peace we are reminded of the lessons of history and nine hundred eighteen a just like today power struggle of money homeland security and safety continue to be a threat between actors of being multi-polar world reporting from the palace of earth i study now here you are to. one of the lessons of world war one to the time when this fighting started no one realized the technology especially military technology had jumped beyond military tactics and so one of the reasons you had fifteen millions and millions die there was that you know you had the introduction of the machine gun chemical warfare planes you know you had this mechanized military machine when most of the world was still kind of based more on line up and shoot each other you know the tactics had not caught up to where the technology. was which then led to these massive amounts of casualties which to me
10:34 am
when i look at the military today and where we are technology wise but see where we are thinking i see a lot of the same kind of problems you know that we're kind of in that stage of like oh war world war couldn't happen there all these marriages i mean couldn't happen but then boom once it does and you're suddenly talking about hacking people's infrastructure and using cyber warfare and things of that. you know that's where you get massive amounts of casualties. when you study history but about the future one of exit was say less soldiers were our wars are better now because less soldiers die because of this you know all of this equipment that we're using as you said like we have much more. powerful not necessarily accurate things we also have better medical training and better medical technology in the field which means less soldiers but a lot more soldiers go back missing limbs and all these things so you get
10:35 am
a little better in certain technology when it comes to war it just actually makes it worse. and that's one of the things about world war was. it was people hadn't seen tanks and an air raids and these things ever. and it was new and i think one of the things about world war one that's really important is what merkel pointed out multi-lateralism should not be something to frown at because multilateralism is the sort of thing that could have helped something like world war two which would have kept world war two from happening which would have kept a lot of the problems we still see today we're still arguing about who pays for freakin nato. in reality what you have is the chance that here you had germany austria-hungary. on one side and france russia and great britain on the other and then you had all of these deals that they each had made that if we get into a war. you'll back us up if we get to where you'll back us up the problem is all
10:36 am
these things. so this is why you need. to have everybody talking to each other this needs to not be it doesn't matter about what america needs to be great we can't be great if we're literally causing this huge kerfuffle everywhere we go can't be trusted to say only because we really are those countries like italy was supposed to go with i believe germany and even they didn't they were like. so that's what happened in nobody does what they say there's. many many different people as opposed to the good of the planet the good of the people the good of the nation and it's not about just harping on america's battery thing like a lot of people i know when i when i criticize my country that's the first thing they go why do you think america is. my country because i want to be better and when you look at the modern era and you look at like who's causing the most
10:37 am
problems in the world right now generally the u.s. because we're over. over and over countries like iraq were the one destabilizing the middle east we're the ones pushing people to the brink of world war through our military action stabilization whether it be economically or militarily and i don't want to see a world war three that's why it's important to look at armistice day and you look at one hundred years ago what led to those events so that you can look at the playing field today and say. i can learn from history and i can say i don't want this to happen again and one of the big ones. when you look back germany until twenty. to pay back the debt from world war one thirty five billion dollars was assessed as payment for the damage that germany was ultimately assigned . wow that's a monstrous payoff in the bag that they paid. twenty that's incredible while
10:38 am
that's what happened. and then as we move into more modern times as you said leaders today what are they doing well leaders from around the world are descending on paris the century after one of the greatest peace agreements ever was signed the difficulties of modern diplomacy as we discussed were on full display are to america scotty now hughes has more. after much anticipation in france and around the world a us president donald trump and russian president vladimir putin only exchanged a handshake and a thumbs up from the russian head of state in the official ceremony at the arc de triomphe but in spite of all expectations and coverage the two did not hold a separate meeting to avoid interfering with the day's events russian president vladimir putin told r.t. france exclusively they expect to meet on the sidelines at the g twenty summit later this year in argentina we will probably meet at the g twenty summit or later in any case we are ready for dialogue it is not us who are leaving the intermediate
10:39 am
range nuclear forces treaty the americans plan to do this however we are both aimed at restoring dialogue now this is the first time the two leaders met since said their bilateral summit into light twenty eighteen in helsinki where the two discussed a wide range of issues including syria to the nordstrom to gas pipeline from russia to germany across the baltic sea and even include election meddling i.q. stations and the need to continue dialogue to improve relations now not much coming out of this meeting and given not many words were exchanged the media coverage has been concentrated on the on hand gestures and. reporting from paris scott email hughes r.t. . so i'm around friday august fourth one nine hundred seventy two scientists were predicting an explosion of gases on the on the sun would cause major problems for humans here on earth will those explosions are often called burps by scientists
10:40 am
studying them solar players the burke the sun did causing major problems in one nine hundred seventy two fourth u.s. navy sea to extreme weather events occurred first the sun expelled a series of solar flares the first set of them clearing the way up for a more intense blast the k. maxed the solar second solar flares cause rain. blackouts within minutes damage to solar panels on satellites an x. ray radiation emissions that stayed in the air for more than sixteen hours but the biggest impact happened under water see the solar flares caused sea mines the u.s. navy had dropped in the coastal waters of north vietnam to explode some pilots noted seeing upwards of two dozen exploding in just thirty seconds and a recently declassified u.s. military documents show that the detonated mines part of operation pocket money numbered not in the dozens as previously reported but upwards of four thousand that's right for cars in mines the bombs were set off by the sun essentially
10:41 am
burping and if you're wondering what the president nixon's reaction was to the accidental explosion he had the navy put even more mines off the coast of north vietnam. clearly. clearly but that's just as. films of the movie were what i was just running out of some seventy to obey all blow up remind me there are more mines a bar to merge and somebody would sitting there not knowing that it's a solar flare about it i mean people are vietnam was already in a pretty dire straits and subsequent messages without knowing that i was of just seeing the entire beachside explode who've already got us are so proud of their remember everyone in this world we are now told you above so it's all you all i love you i am i roll over and out of the wallet watching those talks of a great big invite everybody.
