shirts in the family photo. but unlike previous years this summits was less about togetherness and more kids who well divisions of a family breakdown with washington and beijing vying for the loyalties of other countries you know the two big giants in the room what can i say so which economic superpower would do you side with we have option a china striving to better communications and connections than i was looking at the vast ocean when i boarded the ship and it struck me that we are all indeed fellow passengers in the same boat that is keep steering the wheel steady and paddle in the right direction it seems that whereas with misgivings and is working on becoming more open. your mind kind

has reached a crossroads which direction should we choose cooperation or confrontation or openness or closed doors win win progress or a zero sum game and it wants to be able to reach you easier by land by sea any way possible than we have option b. the usa now aside from everything else the us is better than china why because it says so united states has a principled approach that stands in stark contrast to some other nations our vision will prevail besides beijing is just a user anyway china is taking advantage of the united states for many many years. in those days are over. unlike china the us doesn't want to tie you down they just want you to do things the american way so it doesn't have to punish the united states. offers a better option we don't drown our partners in sea of debt we don't coerce

compromise your independence with a lot to say on the local fun club at hand if this was a custody battle see jim paine good get the kids the red carpets were rolled the bones plates chinese flanks were waved clearly papua new guinea has already been wooed by the middle kingdom but how do the other countries feel some analysts say the u.s. still has its trump card and despite all this america first talk many countries in the region still crave a slice of the american pie the truck to put has become. recent or an excuse for small countries to our school at this will help from the united states to hedge against china i think that is wonderful news for the small countries despite the division and disagreement between china and the us and the right for them are escalating i think. very much an opportunity rather than something i grew up i'm actually not bring up of because you provide

a lot of opportunities for the smaller countries to get into these rivalry the scenario and trying to work together to try to find us and child together so that they can get past a lot out of it was an apex of firsts first time has been held in papua new guinea and the only time leaders have been unable to agree on a formal declaration so is the last on the cards for the apec family with trump and she said to me to the g twenty this month in their first face to face since the trade spun began the question is will the leaders be having double tyrus chocolate cake or coerced into sour grapes. but in a putin's in istanbul where he and the turkish president of marjah key milestone of the completion of a major black sea gas pipeline. check out the city of correspondent orgasm reports the completion of the m d c portion of the turkish stream is in didn't of itself

a milestone politically and economically this is the chief object to be speaking nine hundred kilometers of pipes two pipes running together laid under the black sea a depth of up to two kilometers under the under the sea itself certainly this is done very quickly and let me put in expressed hoops that the land pollution of the pipeline will be laid just as quickly as to with the pipelines themselves they have a fruit a combined throughput of thirty billion cubic meters of gas a year that is enough to keep twelve million european households heated supplied with energy with natural gas for a year so certainly that is a huge amount of energy that europe is now going to be getting from an alternative source the presence of russia and turkey who met again to mark the occasion both

expressed optimism that this is only just the stuff to talk them we and our russian partners have now come to the final stage of the project this is a project we've put a lot of effort into russia is a long term reliable partner and a very important natural gas supplier. but i want to thank the president of turkey mr. but i. believe he just google you for his political will and courage why because projects like this can't be realized without it under increasingly competitive conditions. over the last year was so vladimir putin has been a frequent guest here in turkey whether it be face to face meetings with the president had gotten. trilateral meetings including iran three countries have helped establish broken cease fires in syria set up demilitarized zone and through

their agreements their efforts a military invasion of italy by the syrian government was averted regardless both leaders of remarked time and time again that russian and turkish relations are on the up and up that they're breaking new levels watch for the construction of nuclear power plants new gas pipelines multilateral agreements economic political and military and again they both hope that these relations will continue to improve . the british prime minister said to head to brussels this week to try to seal a deal over breaks in the u.k. shuttle to leave the course of march the twenty ninth next year just over four months away time flies after the twenty sixth the referendum that left the british public bitterly divided on the issue the other twenty seven e.u. states are expected to sign off on the so-called divorce papers and european representatives have been given some positive vibes the deal will finally be

concluded this week. just to brief the ministers of the u. twenty seven and the agreement to reach last week at negotiators level and the draft to reach their own agreement as well as on the outline of the particular correction on the future ownership we are in fact at the decisive moment in this process no one no one should lose sight of the process the progress that we have been achieved in brussels and in london. i am pretty that ministers today support to of all the package globally speaking this deal is fair and balanced. we want an orderly exit of you came and to you twenty seven stand behind that united but my struggle to get support for a bad home crucially where it's led to a raft of government resignations and party plots to oust them from ten downing

street of the one of the toughest weeks yet is pm may said the getting rid of her would not make the break the talks any easier anyway. actually about what's right for the country and as far as i'm concerned i'm going to distract it from actually the important job in this critical week of negotiations of making sure we do get that final good deal for the country but you know a change of leadership at this point isn't going to make the negotiations any easier and it's not going to change the parliamentary arithmetic some of the biggest criticism of treason mazie you divorce plan comes from within your own party at least twenty five considered very p.c. they've submitted letters of no confidence in the prime minister forty eight are needed by the way to trigger a leadership vote has taken a toll on the party the tories are slipping in the polls right now is supporting voters lose faith in the p.m.'s plan it's seen the opposition labor party take three point lead right now and ramping up pressure for a snap election maybe let's get the view from brussels power of phones the strategic and political analyst co-founder of the brussels based think tank the

foundation thanks you time today so right ear ministers are saying this deal is the best one they're going to come up with but crucially a brit myself for who for the e.u. or for britain. well tony blair put it soon after the announcement by barney a the deal was made he said this is the worst for both so he says it's been echoed in parliament by a number of political leaders the u.k. . for me to call been to many others along the spectrum and even within the tory so there are a lot of people who are criticizing this deal for the dealy itself is a sort of a program on a deal so it says that they agree that he too would be done but meanwhile nothing will open it as a major effect of the same earning he said that probably ever feeling will be postponed up to two thousand and twenty two so what happens banal and two thousand

time to choose a sort of a leg or institution in which no decision is taken no matter how you gloss this there's no win win situation for either side is there. yeah this is the way i see it as science or of our. kids trying to do in which both sides have put themselves the e.u. will has been pressing on u.k. in an incredible manner. requesting all sorts of things but at the end of the story in this deal there is almost nothing done i mean is it's a program monica grievance that says it will happen according to future negotiations nobody knows today what would be the negotiations like say this is a set of goals as of today for the u.k. this means that they state in the system without much power because they've been

suspended it's almost that they had found out they owed his mates kicking the problem down the road for another couple of years. yes it looks like. if the european union leaders in particular who is also his own political aspirations was to get treated of these of these the file and so say the job has been done the agreement has been sealed and that seats and let's move ahead and he can feel free to move to other positions as he has buyers to do to a certain extent even in the u.k. there is this same sentiment and this brics issues a sort of a daunting case for the entire structure of these editions and let's give a thought for a moment to terry's i'm a who'd want to be here at this time he's already got at least twenty five conservative m.p. submitting a vote a no confidence ok as i said earlier on the need forty eight to trigger a leadership vote but do you think she's going to really struggle come the end of the week. eat can be because the mood in the parliament is really

not positive i mean the labor party would vote no as corbett has announced and he has a regime to gain out of this no route many of those the other parties including this assault nationalist ones and the more moderate nationalist ones that are against part of the tories are against so it's great difficulty if she'd managed to survive she will have a very tidy majority which means just stays in office but not necessarily in power follow things she thought being with us today the heart of it there in brussels to teach you can political analyst reshape it. i think you for being with us too it's seventeen minutes past five in the evening here this monday moscow coming up seems the taliban are holding all the cards in the afghan conflict as another round of talks struggle to find common ground latest on that peace process despite ninety seconds away.

you know world big part of the lot and it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. i don't think the democrats very much moved in the go shape with the republicans or

president so i think people are going to have to acknowledge that the united states over the next couple years is going to be consumed even more so by our internal our total bickering in affairs and. i guess this is about international peace could be on the horizon in afghanistan as the u.s. special envoy to the country says a deal maybe could be reached with the taliban by april next year that announcement came after talks in the capital city kabul between american representatives the afghan government and the taliban stumbling blocks and contradictions from those party to the conflict seen earlier peace talks fall flat on the face the taliban said this monday that no agreement has been found during the current three day meeting top american officials were a no show in the last conference was held of course of a moscow not so long ago despite both the taliban and afghan representatives coming

to the table is how the conflict stands according to the top brass in the u.s. military right now. they are not losing right now i think that it's fair to say we used the term stalemate a year ago and relatively speaking it has not changed much well over the last three years more than twenty eight thousand afghan police officers and soldiers have been killed according to government figures nearly two decades of war of left the country totally scarred and so affected millions not least of all children who face hidden dangers still. we were on our way to school early in the morning where there was an explosion i lost my leg now i'm scared about my future.

there was fighting in the afternoon between evan forces and the taliban in an unexploded bomb was left behind when we were on our way to the school it went on all four of us were killed and the others who lead it. when we were healthy we used to go out and play we walk to school and to the mosque . now we're not able to go to school i would teacher comes to our house and teach since. my children were in the hospital for over one month but they are still continuing their treatment at home because they are still severely injured.

by out ones where this editor in chief or for all human arab world news and opinion website hi there thanks you time today we just look at the pictures of those children little kids to actually know nothing other than war conflict and strife this all started seventeen years ago now we hear it maybe there could be an end to it by spring this what the u.s. representative saying or at least fingers crossed hoping for is that realistic is the question. no i don't believe it is that realistic or tall are i think the american administration are in a highly they would like to reach any sort of agreement in order to pull out their troops from afghanistan taliban controlled more than fifty percent of the territories and the. amount of casualties among but afghan the army.

security forces mounting thirty thousand until now for the last three years so i believe the american legal guys taliban are as a major force they would like to know we try to cover their losses why didn't they take part if they were really interested in peace in the recent peace conference all about this in moscow who's no us import to it i believe it is actually very much an element now what i share hosted a conference ninth of november. and was there so that americans feel that the russian is taking over iran is they can go over so they would like to reach an agreement in order to get rid of this problem and. young a settlement before plenty of the brave people where the presidential election will take place in afghanistan is relevant here as well that the u.s. wants to get out of there because there is simply stalemate the taliban is proving

itself to be strong we've got u.s. general joseph dunford saying the situation on the ground is quote a stalemate is he correct is that your assumption of what's not really. well i believe the taliban will enforce their point of view they would like to rule the country they don't want any participation from others so i believe there realize that the americans are very weak and they can actually sit that agenda so i believe in the end that the american administration. will listen to taliban and pull out of their troops i think it is not the realistic to say by spring but i think that will intensify their attacks and spring and particularly and force that american to accept their point of view otherwise that casualties among the american need to that of afghan the army will be huge and coming straight because put it spring is

the time for offensive drive from taliban in afghanistan given everything you've just said what you know about this place now it's the last seventeen years what's your prognosis for afghanistan for the short to medium term saying how is it going to pan out this year. you know it is a matter of time when the taliban will win this war you know nobody manage an afghani history to win the war in afghanistan the british were defeated the twice that american are defeated now nobody can run this country based on what that of the origin of taliban. you know they are about half of the afghani population so i believe in the end taliban will rule this country whether with little bit of participation from other tribes but they will have the upper hand and that american and then will throw the towel that's how i see it could be maximum two to three

years within three years i think afghanistan will be on the hands of taliban. later in chief of the human arab world news and opinion website thanks for your time today live with us. next a new global study out showing that more than two thirds of women in tokyo support having single sex trade encourages on public transport because of concerns about rustam and we're going to courage is reduced in tokyo only twenty years ago to combat the problem of groping on crowded rush hour trade now in japanese as a can but is still a major problem in the city all that said with more than two thirds of sexual harassment claims last year taking place on metro trains or in the stations. when i was a junior high school student it took me an hour on the paths train to get to school every morning she can happen to me almost every day my first you can experience was when there was sixteen years old i was so scared they couldn't do anything i think my school uniform made me a target i froze

a did nothing i just got of the train and went to score i felt disgusted angry and confused but mostly scared we were on a carriage is not universally popular in tokyo one group of men notably protested by boarding one of calling a policy discriminatory and the critics point out that it doesn't actually solve the wider problem anyway segregated trains what's next instead of fixing the problem let's separate the sexes bad logic here and it will lead to other forms of segregation at best women only facilities provided only moment to rest by sigur geisha it doesn't stop sexual violence the ethical response to violence is to stop the aggressors not segregate the victims why is there no men only carriage to balance everything out and to offer a place where men don't have to worry about being falsely accused. we took a top spot of five major world cities is way ahead of the average in support of female only carriages if look at the rest of the comeback in the survey carol came

second while just over half of women in mexico city but the idea despite the study showing it's the most dangerous city for females on public transport then moving on less than thirty percent of women in new york and london supported it in fact they're more concerned with travel times and costs as spoken talk show host john gaunt thinks better law enforcement is the spirit but i really don't like the idea of segregation in wage us and if we go down that route and also actually use a dreadful church isn't a victim blaming the women who are sold here it's the men so it was god's will was for harassment and abuse we must just in force them out woman has every right to drive travel on the subway systems and be safe it is up to the subway systems and the courts and the police to enforce the laws i don't think this will really seriously our live in a modern tolerant liberal society well one just like

a man can just like they wish go where they wish and be safe so he showed all of us to demand of our politicians lawmakers that these things reinforce. the stories you're clicking on today r.t. dot com don't forget you can have your say on all of them as well go to the comments section let us know what you think we'd love to hear from you party dot com for now if you're in moscow this monday afternoon is kevin o. insane thank you for watching. a little bit of a little. bit

of a. good politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to be. the two going to be closer this is what the before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the. first sit. in the high drama the saga continues also the cia says it has high confidence they know who killed the show and because it's a new approach to something.
