and it seems that whereas with misgivings that is what king on becoming more open. your mind kind has reached a crossroads which direction should we choose cooperation or confrontation or openness or closed doors when when progress or a zero sum game and it wants to be able to reach you easier by learned by see any way possible then 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 you 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 did 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 to sea has become. recent or an excuse for small countries to our school additional help from the united states to hedge against china and i think that this is wonderful news for the small countries despite the division the disagreement between china and the us and the right for them are escalating i think. very much an opportunity
2:08 pm
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 scenario and trying to work together to try to find us and try to get us all that it can get past a lockdown 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. getting their kids in front of the t.v. to watch cartoon should be a safe bet to keep them quiet for
2:09 pm
a bit just make sure they're not being covertly programmed with propaganda some western news reports claim a global acclaimed russian series is trying to influence young minds as jacqueline reports. and that little sweetheart was matia from the cartoon in the bear originally russian the series has been translated into dozens of languages and won the hearts of millions across the globe but it turns out there may be a sinister side to the enduring little girl and her protective pet decent trying to . see now what russia has forgotten to mention there is that some cartoons are in fact evil putin propaganda yep according to a times u.k. article moshe is just another putin pop it is funny steep. but also
2:10 pm
a plucky she punches a bunch of weight is no fun fish to see is. but it seemed to be particularly worried about one scene and a single episode or moshe's seen wearing a soviet border guards hat. apparently that's meant to be a statement on russia's defense of its borders but even if we say that's true what kind of kid would pick up on that but hey it's best to start when they're young right the studio behind this propaganda masterpiece of course denies being influenced by the kremlin's hand saying they received no state funding but we did a bit of digging and found some ominous signs you simply can't ignore here comes the kremlin for all of two seconds that could easily be interpreted as a soviet red star to skies as an innocent christmas decoration and you may not realize it but the weird hat that must has got on here is a traditional russian hat now i know those examples aren't so much propaganda as
2:11 pm
they are just random russian things but that's all we could try but we're not it turns out the bear itself is a representation of russia as a whole you see bear you think russia right as you. it's a fact it's a struggle for the minds part of a hybrid explosion in which a negative image of russia is replaced by a positive oh the horror the horror now you know what your children are being exposed to and can protect them accordingly. the bear are not coming to invade your home. and the bank is hybrid that. british empire. sums up american decadence that's a call to. my name is. very cute they don't seem to be particularly native. i really really do not want to read more about how masha in the back used to do this properly and. i can
2:12 pm
confirm that i watched two episodes there when i was nine and i suddenly became a twitter party speaks russian. made of the world chemical weapons watchdog locking horns over a plan to broaden its powers back in june a vote went in favor of allowing the n.p.c. to me to apportion blame but russia and china are among the countries against the move. our position on the proposal made in june is that in downing the o.p.c. dubey with the functions is not meant to have would constitute an infringement on the un security council's proud. citizen in front of us today and let's be very clear. to undermine what was agreed by suggesting it was not compliant with convention that is simply not true coming from the russian federation. i might be euphemistic can say ironic but frankly it is pungent hypocrisy.
2:13 pm
what have they done for the last few years. but to connive with their syrian ally trying to bury the truth of what has happened in syria alongside the dead from the use of chemical weapons by the assad regime the delegations present at the conference are told to vote for everything proposed by the western group and the number of times those delegations of come on the psychological pressure from the same countries this is ample evidence to the extent of hypocrisy it's open lies and hostility on the part of those delegations may be the united states side would like to ask questions about the lives of syrian people but i believe that they lie when they say they really care about victims in syria between the times terse diplomatic language used in the chamber it's fairly clear to see that there is a split in the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons right now
2:14 pm
that's place pretty much goes down the lines of the u.k. in united states on one side china and russia on the other and at the root of the split is the proposal that was voted through narrowly in june of this year that was put forward by the united kingdom would give the o.p.c. w. extended powers that would give them the power to identify perpetrators all chemical weapon attacks now russia says this goes again. the charter which created the the o.p.c. w. in fact saying it would step on the toes of the the un security council which currently has those powers above that in turn was described as a contingent he's called crissy by the us ambassador the russian permanent representative to the o.p.c. w ambassador he said russia's western partners were doing their best to undermind russia's proposals considering all the tricks of so-called partners use
2:15 pm
we understand they are really afraid they do this if they weren't afraid unfortunately we see that our american colleagues are continuing their conflicts in line and we're used to it they already left the paris climate accord the iran nuclear deal and now they're attempting to derail the whole o.p.c. w.'s of the russian ambassador calling for that vote means that they wrapped up on a monday evening with that vote hanging over us it will be sorted out on tuesday morning were expecting to see everybody back here in the hague bright in early to try and get into an end of this current impasse. but his prime minister will head to brussels this week to try and seal the deal over brags that the case shots leave the lot of the twenty ninth next year just over four months away after about twenty six referendum that left the british public bitterly divided the other twenty seven by to sign off on the so-called papers and european representatives have been given
2:16 pm
some positive vibe that the deal will finally be cleared this week. just to brief the ministers of the u. twenty seven. to reach last week a legal shitters level and a draft agreement as well as on the outline of the particular issue on the future which. we are in fact at the decisive moment in this process no. one no one should lose side of the process of progress that will be achieved in brussels. long. that ministers to do support to of all blockage gregory speaking this deal is for fund balanced we want an orderly exit of. the servant stand behind that united. amaze struggling to get support for it back home where it led to a lot of raft of government resignations and party plans to oust her from ten
2:17 pm
downing street after one of her toughest weeks yet as pm they said that getting rid of her would not make the brags that talks any easier it's actually about what's right for the country and as far as i'm concerned i would be distracted from actually the important job in this critical week as we can see asians as making sure we do get that final good deal for the country but you know change of leadership at this point isn't going to make the negotiations and it's not going to change the parliamentary arithmetic some of the biggest criticism of trey's amazing divorce plan comes from within her own party at least twenty five conservative m.p.'s say they have submitted letters of no confidence in the prime minister forty eight a needed to trigger a leadership vote is taking a toll on the party the tories are slipping in the polls as bribes and supporting voters lose faith in the p.m.'s plan and seeing the opposition labor party take a three point lead and ramping up pressure for a snap election we spoke to a strategic and political analyst power of attorney says the e.u.
2:18 pm
might be backing this deal simply to move on from bragg's it. dealy itself is a sort of a program matic deal so it says that the agreed to to be done. that meanwhile nothing was open as a major effect of the same urge is said that probably ever fing will be postponed up to two thousand and twenty two so what happens between now and two thousand times to use a sort of a leg or insufficient in which no decision is due to taken it looks like. if the european union leaders in particular who is also his own political aspirations was to get a treat of these of these files and so say the job has been done to agreement has been sealed and that's it sir let's move ahead and he can feel free to move to other positions as yes spies to do the same to the extent even in the u.k. there is this same sentiment amongst these bricks issues a sort of
2:19 pm

2:24 pm
government and the taliban stumbling blocks and contradictions from those party to the conflict have seen earlier peace talks fall flat the taliban said this monday that no agreement has been found during the current three day meeting top american officials were a no show when the last conference was held in moscow 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. 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 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 have left the country scarred and affected millions not least of all children who face hidden dangers.

2:27 pm
a settlement before twentieth of april where the presidential election will take place in afghanistan well i believe that. will unfold as their point of view will 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 that it is sick to say by spreading but i think that will intensify their attacks and spring that particular and force that american to accept their point of view otherwise that casualties among that american need to that of afghan the army will be huge. head for the sa don't forget to check out all the social media around our
