least the next thirty minutes or so for a slap shot of the stories making headlines around the world this wednesday night starting with this the russian president has called clashes between ukrainian and russian vessels in the coach straight on sunday a rating stunt as kiev's authorities look ahead to the twenty nineteen presidential election. if the current kiev authorities successfully so anti russian sentiment because they have nothing else of the. feeling that whatever they do they will get away with alias only if they demand new borns for breakfast so they will get babies so what they'll say the government wants to eat the russian leader also said that the current standard was a pretext to introduce martial law as a good twenty nine thousand election but in a putin stress that gives authorities didn't introduce it during some of ukraine's worst moments in the ongoing civil war beforehand who's next our senior correspondent has been following the international reaction towards central european powers france germany in particular seem to be less than enthusiastic
2:03 pm
about america's latest calls for more sanctions against russia germany in particular saying that it is still supporting the north stream to gas pipeline from russia to central europe. the government has of course taken note of the criticism the north stream to first and foremost an economic project that's what we've always said but at the same time we've repeatedly indicated that it has however a political dimension to this follows on from various u.s. officials calls to enforce and to strengthen sanctions against russia we certainly encourage all european allies tsu a card what additional sanctions could be implemented absent at this point it's not something germany and france have said they're considering but these things i think can develop over time the u.s. president donald trump himself asked and whether he's going to condemn russia's
2:04 pm
actions in the u.s. well he spoke more critically of russia than he has in a long while but he said that he's going to wait for a full report from his advisors before condemning any russian action that will be very determinative maybe i won't have the meeting maybe i won't. even have the meeting i don't like that aggression i don't want that aggression at all absolutely and by the way europe shouldn't like that aggression and germany shouldn't like that aggression he's referring there of course to the pre-agreed meeting with vladimir putin on the sidelines of the g twenty summit in argentina but we were also heard a lot of criticism in the press with calls and questions to donald trump and other leaders and why they aren't condemning russia hard enough we'll let. the president trump issued an extremely mild rebuke to russia for firing on and seizing three ukrainian ships other storage supporters of ukraine be it
2:05 pm
nations that great britain canada for example have condemned russia or third parties such as and you think tanks the atlantic council one of their one of the pundits has been calling on nato to send warships to the as well to see through the street crossing perhaps unaware that such a move would be illegal as the season tunnel borders of russia and ukraine and requires the permission of both the third party which ships to enter the as of c. the russians have offered their own version of what happened in the on sunday in the strait of cuts they say the the texted the ukrainian vessels they had new choice but to use weapons to seize these vessels as they were behaving dangerously radically they hadn't followed any notification s.b.u. counter-espionage agents were on board they also say that this is a provocation well on the other side of this kid have says it had warned russia
2:06 pm
about the presence of its vessels in the area and has called the seizing of its ships an act of aggression further ukraine demands now all twenty four crewmembers be released immediately they've been given a two month attention sentence as it stands at the moment we spoke to security analyst charles shoe bridge he says kiev strong backing from western countries means they can. act rationally at the moment. you've got a country such as ukraine which is repeatedly sure said challenging its much more powerful neighbor and it's not because it's been given leeway to do so by form for most of the united states and of course but by the u.k. and others in the west and so for example you've seen provocative behavior being rewarded recently the united states for example announced that it would supply to tank weapons and other weapons to ukraine instead of trying to defuse the situation . apart from the recent escalation between russia and ukraine who are putin also told some of the major topics at this year's russia calling investment forum here
2:07 pm
in moscow among them the role the u.s. dollar plays in the global economy there are two to reports. the russian president was clear about the state of traditional global trading and the association with the us dollar now is the time for innovation and change and you see you we have no goal of moving away from the dollar it's the dollar that's moving away from. those making such decisions are not shooting themselves in the foot but somewhere more delicate further up the body because this instability when it comes to doing business with the dollar gives rise to a desire and it's happening all around the world to find alternative reserve currencies and create a financial system independent from the dollar. should put in has confirmed that russia along with some partners is working on payment systems independent of swift now if you're thinking russia is acting like
2:08 pm
a rebel without legitimate cause then i understand that this is actually not a revolutionary idea promise mantra of america first america first is now imbedded in our minds and economically there was always bound to be a backlash and one of the innovations has been the leading nations to find independence from the dollar e.u. member state will set up a legal entity to facilitate legitimate financial transactions with iran and this will allow european companies to continue to trade with iran in accordance with european union low and could be open to other partners in the world that came after american pressure on europe to ditch business with iran threatening sanctions in case of defiance it's no secret that the global economy and politics is interconnected and what we have is a reversible reaction was proving to be a catalyst for consequences turning back into action now dear to r.t.

2:10 pm

others by the way that news release about axing so. optimizing workers and allocating plants just before the festive season boasts a cool motto zero crushes zero emissions zero congestion at the moment it's one executive tax break five plants shot and fourteen thousand sacked trump and jim exacts you're fired the president reacted to the news by tweeting his disappointment with the decision the also threaten to cut government subsidies for the company and confirmed his pledge to protect american manufacturing jobs. in. the u.s. as a system holding back a recent u.n. draft resolution which could help give some relief to the devastating along the three year long conflict in yemen washington reportedly proposed to perspire the plan until possible talks between the saudi coalition and who think rebels take place in sweden at the beginning of december the draft was initiated by the u.k.
2:12 pm
and offered to promote a restart to peace talks between those involved in the war in yemen the resolution to we deadline on removing barriers that would prevent humanitarian aid reaching the country and also calls for attacks to stop in all civilian areas or introducing a cease fire of one of the worst hit areas the port city of her data meantime the u.s. secretary of state highlighted washington's positive influence on the crisis in yemen so far. the suffering in yemen grieves me but if the united states of america was not involved in yemen it would be a hell of a lot worse so the arabia says its military operations in yemen are aimed at fighting terrorism but international humanitarian groups say no they're calling on the u.s. to hold its military support for reared in a joint statement five charity organizations pleaded for urgent action with as many as fourteen million people at risk of starvation at the moment already described as one of the worst humanitarian crisis the situation continues to deteriorate every day in yemen.
2:13 pm
the research for the islamic human rights commission of ngo which aims to help people of all faiths told me just last hour the saudis could immediately allow humanitarian aid into yemen if they wanted too. it's the saudis that are stopping this say coming in with the exclusion of the brits britain british government and the american government so i think that's so we need to actually look in terms of focusing our attention. united nations resolutions.
2:14 pm
calling for this actually there's no reason why they can't stop this immediately unfortunately i very bleak picture. and because i don't really see any of the participants in any mood to actually do anything relist acumen ground which will make a change and the people who can and the governments that can make a difference are britain america and young men who are involved in this genocide of the young people and this needs to stop. germany's introduced a program aimed at encouraging migrants to return to their home countries the german government still trying to get a handle on the wave of migrants that arrived there when that crisis broke up big time in twenty fifteen but the initiatives dividing public opinion right now peter all of us being finding out why. germany is looking to convince migrants it's time to go home last year sixteen hundred people opted for voluntary every punch
2:15 pm
relation the latest figures for twenty eight seen show that that number is down to just three hundred and that has prompted the government to put in place a new incentive program under the slogan your land your future it offers financial payouts understood to be capped at three thousand euro per family or one thousand per individual to return to their country of origin these payments could take the form of flight tickets or even rent being paid the program is open to those who don't have the legal right to stay in germany failed asylum applicants or those still being processed posters for the campaign which have gone up in seven different languages nationwide have had pain throwing up them like the ones you see here. others have been dogged in graffiti saying refugees are welcome here the campaign posters sound the reaction to them have splits opinions here in berlin. if they want to return and if things are fine in their home country then this team is probably a possibility but the majority of migrants come from war torn countries makes it
2:16 pm
much easier to send people back to their home countries i think it's preposterous people who are already here should stay here syrians and others in any case i think it's a negative move. i support this initiative will do so for migrants that goes. it will cost much more money the interior ministry who is behind the program is headed up by horse at times the most by a brand of german officials when it comes to the migrant question cain launch of no country can take an unlimited number of refugees we want the integration of people who have the right to stay integration can only succeed if we put a cap on immigration and so i was sixteen i say sixty plus sixty nine people were flying back to afghanistan on safety he has since calmed that rhetoric down a little bit but germany is the only country in the world that has an individual's right to asylum written in to its basic law its german equivalent of the
2:17 pm
constitution under the law merkel has been a vocal supporter of the un migration pact which aims that burden sharing internationally when it comes to migrants have every right to know this pact for migration as well as for refugees is the right answer that it is our task to contribute so that in this twenty first century world everyone has a chance for development so that we have peace and don't hurt ourselves first and then the stand that german values mean always thinking of others but that plan is rejected in chorley as vocally by countries such as the united states australia and italy and why. of the main contenders to take over from angela merkel as leader of the christian democratic union has said he isn't much of a fan of the un migration pact either nor is he particularly on board with what's the german basic law has to say about asylum it's been
2:18 pm
a long time of been convinced that we should openly discuss this constitutional right to asylum and whether it can continue to exist in its present form whether it's through incentive campaigns like the one we've seen all through some of the means whoever takes over as leader of the c.d.u. is going to have the task of convincing german voters is that they are the one with the solution to the question of what to do about people who are living here in germany without the required documentation to allow them to do so legally peter all of. the next story is get a lot of people talking in the u.k. tonight a victim of sexual abuse is being backed by u.k. and pay and have called for a law change off the rapist who fathered her son through abuse was reportedly allowed to contact the child and when you think about the story in a situation it's got more for you. bull an unusual case getting quite a bit of traction in the u.k. a victim of child sexual exploitation has a wave to anonymity and come forward demanding
2:19 pm
a change in the laws following revelations that a man who had raped her as a teenager as a result of which she had a child was apparently reached out to by the local council inviting him to partake in the child's life is about. and if not that might be enough. to apply today i'm trying to learn now this man in question was actually put behind bars two years ago and is serving a thirty five year sentence for multiple sexual offenses involving nine girls including this woman sammy woodhouse and we know that he was told by rather him counsel that he could seek visits with the child well just to be clear the man did not make such an application but this still became a good enough reason to trigger
2:20 pm
a call for a change in the legislation to protect others this is what a local m.p. had to say on this appalling examples of the lul being set up by the to favor the perpetrator or to actively work against the rights of abuse survivors and the consideration they should be afforded the ministry of justice have said that they're investigating this case to see whether it was an error or potentially part of a wider problem we also know that the council have said that they were basically just following guidelines and rather them is really a place in the northern u.k. that had reached the headlines in the media previously back in twenty fourteen when an independent inquiry had found that as many as over fourteen hundred girls were groomed and abused over sixteen years and that report had. found that that was carried out predominantly by men of pakistani origin so it's indeed very likely that this latest case is going to again stir up lots of questions that need to be
2:21 pm
addressed there and they did it is doing less get the thoughts alive from one to grooming campaign sarah michelle joining us now live on the line from the north of england will broaden this out in a bit but first off thanks for your time secondly what you think about this case and it was a horrific spate of crimes involving dozens of people over decades was there away from the headlines what can you do to protect the survivors and help pull them through as a starter here. as a start of first and foremost what i would say is the interest of the child is paramount the case is centering around the child to visitation of the child what we can do to protect is better is safeguarding the our youth workers the our community wicca's and i will say this openly and publicly the youth workers are nothing short of a disgrace no safeguarding took place there youth workers whose job it was to protect these children and they just let everybody down and they should hand their heads in
2:22 pm
shame. i mean apologies have been made for that one of the thought no this are not being allowed to happen nationwide well he hasn't happened in rod through me happened have lessons be learned well safeguarding is now more important but in the ninety's and in the northeast the youth workers that were waking at the time they were just a drain on public funds they were as you may want to know some lessons even learn people safe. the youth workers are much better you know safeguarding is paramount but what isn't happening is parents aren't speaking up within the asian community there is the fear of the stigma a lot of people even though their daughters have been talk to the bill i know my daughter was in there and therefore the on the prosecution is still happening we do need prosecutions we do need parents to speak up and say yes our daughter was a victim in the english community the english families they will go and they will
2:23 pm
see prosecution but within the asian community where it does happen and it's still rife there groomers are protected by the own community because they are chained by . stigma so that's why there prosecutions are there lessons have been lent but they are not being acted upon so many would have says come forward here she's made a name public is her case going to bring about a change and an orgy thing. well we've got to look at the broader picture i mean what happened to this woman is all full awful awful and we mean do survive rape because that's what they are they are survivors of rape we can't talk about you know if we do need to lift the lid are open on it i mean examine what happened it happened in the fact that she's waived her non intimate is a good thing because it happened on her story should be told now the interest of the child is paramount i personally believe in the best interest of the child that
2:24 pm
child doesn't need to know who that person was who did that to his mom father or not you have to look at the bigger picture the inheritance that child is entitle to you know financially you know whatever is financial situation that child you know he's got grandparents the pet mother of hussein didn't ask for her child to do this monstrous thing but in our asian community all mothers offer too lenient on this and they don't mind. doing what they do on the education of these communities is that change at all is not getting better is it getting more open on law for all is going on. in see that the mothers have towards their son's behavior is shocking and they know that this ins are going out at night getting up to no good they know their sons are doing what they do with white girls english girls my apologies they know this ins are in casinos they know their sons are dealing drugs we have a very serious drug issue we have
2:25 pm
a very serious gang issue and every week i am going to a funeral because of an r.t.a. accident the mothers are far too lenient on their sons i'm far too strict on their daughters it's bizarre as a grim picture you're painting we're going to leave it for i'm afraid time on to become famous or a little alarm from the north of england like thanks ever so much be alive and out international of good evening. you to think. also other world people have been killed in the afghan capital of kabul the blasts to simply targeted the compound of a british security group according to the afghan interior ministry gunman entered the territory when they set off a car bomb the taliban claimed responsibility for what happened comes as an international conference is being held on the status quo in afghanistan right now. this with city of geneva where our correspondent. reports. this is a two day conference coming to an end now and what's been happening here over the last forty eight hours is discussions on what's happened what's been achieved
2:26 pm
what's not been achieved in afghanistan in terms of the economy in terms of trade in terms of women's rights and of course in terms of the peace talks and how they can move forward in the future but there is one big thing that's been missing from these talks and that is the taliban who are not here and who have not been taking part in these talks at the u.n. . now while there have been statements made today including one from the afghan government to have confirmed that they have assembled a twelve men team man team that will be able to open talks unconditional talks as they describe them with the taliban in the future the taliban have not been here and as we know peace talks in the past have not been massively fruitful and many experts have said that's because not all of the stakeholders have been at the table at the same time that the afghan government that the u.s. government because their troops are stationed there and of course the taliban who
2:27 pm
some would say are a major stakeholder in terms of the security and the future of peace in afghanistan just recently earlier this month in moscow talks were held at the moscow format was held the taliban were invited and attended those talks however the u.s. government didn't attend those talks at the u.s. government. holding separate talks with taliban representatives in the state of qatar in regards to this but they haven't all come to the table together with the government. and that's particularly important because while the taliban was in control when the u.s. led invasion took place in two thousand and one seventeen years now of this conflict they were fairly diminished back then but in recent years this seems to have been resurgence in the numbers some reports suggesting that the taliban have control or open the active seventy percent of afghan the regions that's far
2:28 pm
higher than we've seen in any figures over that seventeen year period so they are a major stakeholder and it is important for many that they are at future talks in terms of peace in regards to the country and how that moves forward now there was a warning today when there was that new twelve month that's been assembled for these conditional talks and that is that these talks may be unconditional in terms of getting to the table but the demands will not be accepted if they are unconditional representatives diplomats here saying one of the most important things that they will not allow to be disregarded in future is the rights of the citizens of afghanistan particularly its women. should be reporting from geneva. so far what is needed from moscow in just over half an hour thirty two minutes to be exact on those programs in your part of the world right after this break you're
