came along pay for nato not. punch makes it very hard for the u.s. to send its wines into france and charges big tariffs not fat must change the problem is that emanuel suffers from a very low approval rating it's twenty six percent and unemployment rate of almost ten percent. make france great to get. one politician. that is independent so long road without depending only on the united states in the way that exhibits greatest sovereignty. and we are. to take you to really. quickly the if you call to me. the to. the media has been

speculating on whether what was initially billed as a bromance between the two presidents could now be over a tree a political expert a p.r. emanuel tamanna things that micron is actually being outplayed by donald trump. boehner trent before to come to paris was. shocked and angry but in spite of these niggas she tactic to make your strong statements ignored or to make the spark notes take a different position on each works on the following day the storm just repeats what the americans once from europe on the say we europeans sure they're spending more we've been made to for our security six actually went to the united states once it said beattie about french president who was not strong enough to keep his own position. meanwhile german chancellor angela merkel has also received

a mixed reaction from the european parliament after coming out in favor of an e.u. army combat while comprising militaries from all across the block and the applause part of the chamber booed and jeered the german chancellor. then as i quote you called young her some years ago ready set that a common european on mute showed the wild that there will never again be in europe i'm not saying anything against mito of course not we can be a good supplement to nato thank god thank you thank god thank you actually i'm really pleased about it this is great i'm annoying simply called we spoke with global policy analyst george who believes the calls for a european army a merely a political gesture. i don't think we should take any of these. statements from macro all of them merkel very seriously it's something that they do in order

to win some popular support but in order to get something like this off the ground you have to do a lot of preparation for it and you've got to be ready to take on the american cia you know stuff like well that the americans were bound to react very negatively and i you know he hadn't really done the groundwork also obviously he gave up because he wasn't that serious about it it's just you know neither here nor merkel nor anyone in europe has the stomach to confront the americans on this issue and the americans know this and from those this so you know it wasn't it was entirely predictable that mike rowe would give up immediately. president of the iranian academy of medical sciences sent a powerful he would appeal to the u.n. secretary general and tony has over the reimposition of u.s. sanctions he describes how the lives of many patients in iran both young and old

are now in danger due to washington preventing vital medication and equipment from entering the country we visited one cancer treatment center in tehran to get firsthand accounts from the patients and their relatives. present a rational and of my husband is a cancer patient and we are worried about his medication and their costs medications used to be available before but after the sanctions they have become more expensive and and we are worried about the future and what will happen. this is the second round of my chemotherapy off the sanctions before my chemotherapy used to cost two hundred eleven euro but now each round i need to pay four hundred twenty two euro drugs cannot be found easily like before we have to. search them in different pharmacies with every single one of them not having a specific kind of drug.

that now when they impose sanctions on our banks the money cannot be transferred easily to a foreign country in order to buy medication. that we're not allowed to bring in many devices and some of them like components it's obvious that without these parts the devices simply won't work. we're going to do everything we can describe is iran hard as the british say to make to squeeze them until the pips squeak. more to the day here we have nine bets which are full every day in this health clinics with the sanctions just not able to respond to half

a million patients. i think. we spoke with call in kabul an associate professor of political science who told us washington's ultimate goal is to bring down the iranian government no matter the cost. the united states on this. iraq until it's free will is a louse of course the iranian people will be harmed within a viable economic blockade the whole by the members of the administration something great is that this will cause the iranian people to rise up and overthrow the current government in iran so even though john bolton says regime change is luck with the u.s. is seeking that is simply a euphemism because. what he really wants to do is to bring the government with economic pressure and economic sanctions.

ukraine's far right freedom party has organized a summer camp that looks a lot more like a boot camp journalists from the associated press a visit at the site where children live under strict rules on learn how to act like soldiers. investigates. now that's what i call a legit summer camp. that. both of you know about early morning wakeup calls. oh yes right by off. chance that kids will remember for the rest of their lives. was catching march. welcome to the temper of will summer camp and western ukraine it's pretty much

a boot camp hidden in the forest the people who set it up are from the national socialist svoboda or freedom party so who can get enrolled officially it's for teens but a.p. journalists who went there say they saw children as young as eight here are being taught how to kill. just listen to this you know they can still. see a limitless new call then out of system but it just in the us is doing he should post pickle fun things when one of them in the moment see what is morally. but not only do they get to learn how to take down those who adults are calling russian invaders the kids are also taught to stand up to what the instructors see as degrading trends in the west. of us that is yelling. you should make use of the. welcome you will feel you have taught us the.

west that was. what may seem as an ugly display of far right shaw the brainwashing appears to get full support from the local administration well earlier this year kiev splashed some of its bus. on youth projects the goal is to prop up what they call a national patriotic education some of these projects are run by the stream far right. even the nato backed atlantic council think tank tried to raise international wariness with this article and indeed we didn't write that amnesty international's pointing out the issues more than just critical ukraine is sinking into a calles of uncontrolled violence posed by radical groups and the total impunity

principally no one in the country can feel safe under these conditions and if you're wondering if any of this could actually spill beyond ukraine well just lately and f.b.i. agents criminal complaint said ukrainian neo nazis were believed to have trained white supremacists in america just wait till some of these youngsters grow up. meanwhile in january ukraine passed a law that recognizes russia as quote an aggressor state and last week the ukrainian vice prime minister said that the country is trying to build a strong democracy whereas the kremlin supports populist nationalist movements but independent journalist martin somers things the western media is slowly waking up to the growing nationalism in ukraine. the people who set this up all connected to soho bold a so-called freedom party was actually

a bridge in the. neo nazi organization they are quite radical important in the city not just against russia but also as a relation to things like gay rights in addition to things like. sentences and so. cool starts in many ways not really acceptable to the west and. public opinion beginning to be in the mainstream media in the west of the standing of some of the extremist ideology behind the ukrainian nationalist movements and the discussion of this summit cancel some very good will in children these poles of this investigation which gradually seeming to appear. lot of information about what's going on in ukraine in the western media but some more realistic assessments do seem to be beginning to appear. u.s. cities have been vying to host a retail giant amazon's new second headquarters in whatever one thinks having the

mega corporation is best for the city. and investigates. the mega corporation an online retailer known as amazon is looking for a place for its second headquarters a competition of sorts began with cities across the country offering tax incentives and making cringing videos in the hopes of luring them in how the proud amazon customer. amazon. amazon. your smart sexy city that thinks outside. please join us. where should amazon locate h q two in fiscal texas so who wins the big prize of having amazon set up shop in their backyard well in a plot twist that's worthy of a bad reality t.v. show there are now two big winners not just one the new offices will be in arlington virginia just across the river from washington d.c.

and the new york city borough of queens now at this point jeff bezos the owner of amazon is presenting himself as your friendly neighborhood billionaire the team did a great job selecting the sunny south and we look forward to becoming in the even bigger parts of these communities but not all new yorkers are exactly thrilled many are concerned. the already high cost of living will increase and others worry that small businesses will suffer the newly elected democratic socialist congresswoman alexandria kazuo cortez is ready for battle amazon is a billion dollar company the idea that it will receive hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks at a time when i was subways crumbling and all communities need more investment not less is extremely concerning to residents here we decided to talk with some locals and see how they feel about amazon setting up shop i'm not happy about this i think i've read a lot of articles saying it's not great super excited about amazon coming in and i

think there are other cities that can use the extra job more and i thought they were moving to new work they do they're the ones that do the jobs i'm not sure what effect it would have on small businesses but i'm sure they'll try to print up the extra burden everything's already closed without them so it will be a lot more let's not forget that new york state governor andrew cuomo promised to legally change his name if it would convince amazon to move in i'll change my name to it is now in poor mood and a time when talk of the low wages income inequality and money in politics is everywhere nothing is more reassuring to a frustrated public than seeing their elected officials grovel and big before huge multinational corporations. r.t. new york and plenty more stories coming your way here on this wednesday program on t.v. including democrats in the us are preparing to launch a bio raj of investigations against donald trump a moron not just. i've

been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten dollars prime stamping each day . eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent from last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one does not

show you can afford to miss the one and only. to have you with us today for the program with southeast asian countries caught between the u.s. and china vying for influence in the region of a russian was looking to us its own interests that both commercial and diplomatic and wednesday's russia summit in singapore looks like a pretty good opportunity reporting from the correspondent in. the day when russia goes on the charm offensive here in singapore and with latimer putin himself leading the delegation. really leaves no room for doubt as to how really important

this summit for russia is now there's a number of things most could be seeking from this gathering the first and the most straightforward one is pushing the market seeing its weapons in the region a number of regional countries have already invested couple of billion of dollars to russian arms like for example indonesia vietnam the philippines got their free tranche of weapons to help them combat i still own the territory another and a more subtle diplomatic pursuit russia could be in the here is revolves around the fact that china and the united states in their relations between the countries are quite hostile over a multitude of things and so are the nations who are present here they're confronted with the perspective of having to take a side in between the united states and china and since many of these countries do have relations with both of them and they may not want to spoil those relations

russia could be another way out of this catch twenty two situation now to discuss this further i'm joined by dr teaching jang this summit could be a great platform for the united states and for china too with least start resolving their differences donald trump and she decided to avoid they decided to abstain from coming here why i think the main reason is that they do not want to come from each other especially at the current situation where the two big powers are confronting each other on various issues like trade like security and ideological use use but i think the all sense the. top aides to this region for further discussion and the dialogue. actually the could not. have kind of a deal current to be on on those disputes and i don't think this kind of confrontation between the two big powers and at this summit but of course us now. he has this kind of strategy which you also complicates the situation in this

region i think all the our countries are still watching. the have not decided what kind of solution finally they would have. hours now i will be staying here in singapore for the rest of the day bringing you all the latest from the summit and from how russia's speech. the us democratic party is reportedly planning to hit president trump with eighty five investigations the party will take control of the house of representatives in january this of course after last week's midterm elections. there is going to have to be investigations if the democrats do take the house president trump will wake up wednesday morning to a very different political scenario here on the hill they are going to investigate this president and his administration thoroughly they do intend to request

president's tax returns former speaker pelosi insisting that her party will be strategic when democrats take control of the house in january they're going to begin immediately to investigations on impeachment. the democrats are expected to demand it trumps tax returns which he has referred refused to release since taking office they could also in the launch new probes into suppose it could loosen with russia and they'll be looking into the president's alleged role in paying hush money to a former porn star plus there are plenty of other items on the list ranging from the legality of a travel ban from several muslim countries to that of the administration's spending on furniture. so with control of the lower house and congress the democrats will have subpoena power as meaning they can legally require any witness to testify in congressional hearings and produce documents in fact just since september the republicans have blocked sixty four subpoena requests from the democrats and former illinois congressman michael patrick flanagan believes the democrats should use

their new powers more wisely. congress is not an investigative body it's not what it does it has the power of oversight but oversight of the administration executing congressional will and spending and in the direction of the nation democrats who have no agenda and ran not know what john and i have no desire to actually manage the business of the nation have only this to run on and they want to distract this president from the work he's doing because they just disagree with him they just don't want him to be successful and this is a way to derail him and the policies that he's doing i think the nation would like everyone to just take a breath step back let's do some stuff if there's really some wrongdoing the democrats think are some are some genuine wrongdoing not just we need to see his tax returns because we need to know he's not worth as many billions as he says he is we want to publicly embarrass him which is all that tax returns things about that that's ridiculous and nobody wants to see time and energy spent on that. last

week's u.s. midterm elections on to school the divisions in american society but it seems there are still some things that everyone can actually agree. i love lucy known for prince bird nobody carries no bling. if hillary clinton runs again in two thousand and twenty we're screwed. all the people think hillary clinton running into silence twenty is a good thing kidding me.
