but there are many of them look for refuge in the so-called sentry sides of the draft used to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities. than. they have what are their options to stay in the country with donald trump in the white house. he. said many couples. were trumped up which included. both of you out there to appear with all of the. headlines an arty president warns there is an uncontrollable between the u.s. china and russia it comes just a few months after he boosted the pentagon's budget precisely to count to moscow and beijing. after waves of nationwide protests in the most violent riots in paris

in half a century the french prime minister reportedly announces he will suspend the controversial hike in the cost of fuel also to come. silicon valley to know just how ethical in our tradition the military. head of microsoft promises to hand over the company's cutting edge technologies to the pentagon and despite resistance from some of his employees also. u.s. radio stations are planning the christmas classic baby it's cold outside after a backlash from the two activists all guests debate the issue. i think there's a lot of outrage i think women are really angry what's behind it is you know women want relief from underway change there are a lot of important issues right now and when we focus on songs like this and try to get it out i mean we're paying a message that means he has just become a. changing. hello

there welcome is just gone two pm here in moscow you're watching r.t. international now u.s. president donald trump says he is confident that at some time in the future talks will be held with china and russia to hold what he describes an uncontrollable arms race is also branded u.s. military spending is crazy though he himself increased it just a few months back precisely to counter moscow and beijing. takes a closer look. pouring money down the pentagon hole has been one of the donald's few consistent policies and since taking office trump has been serenading the military we took care of the military like it's never been taken care of before new equipment is coming in we're going to have the strongest military we've ever had by far and hopefully will be so strong we'll never have to use it but i'm talking

about tremendous defense capability offensive capability it's in space so we're going to do the space force. but now he's changing his tune he's singing i have a dream and he's talking about harmony and peace between russia china and the united states. sometime in the future president g indicts together with president putin of russia will still talking about a meaningful halt to what has become a major uncontrollable arms race the us spend seven hundred sixteen billion dollars this year crazy yes why spend so much money on bombs and tanks well this is for a president who just signed a bill in august for a twenty nineteen military budget of seven hundred sixteen billion dollars that's sixteen billion more than in twenty eighteen so why the increase is it to protect our citizens from terror well actually according to the pentagon it's about russia and china but we will continue to prosecute the campaign against terrorists that

we're engaged in today but great power competition not terrorism is now the primary focus of u.s. national security no new arms race nobody wants a new cold war well if that's the case it might be smart not to pull out of the nuclear arms treaty especially one that was essential in stopping the old cold war right now to here to the agreement they should have been done years ago so people come to this that we have more money than anybody else by far we'll build it up until they come to this and when they do then we'll all be barred. and by the. not only will we do so let's take trumpet his word and assume that he's just trying to steer a sinking ship well arms race may not exactly be the best term to describe it after all the u.s. military budget is bigger than russia and china's combined and this year russia actually decreased its military spending not exactly an aggressive move but yet somehow they are the aggressor.

meanwhile while travis gushing over his friendship with president xi imposing tariffs and staging military drills in the south china sea is not exactly a friendly move us trade policies or pay some possibilities that are granted it would be very irresponsible and dangerous to the united states to seriously violated the basic norms of governing international relations and damaged by no u.s. military relations so no need to prove to a song of peace but as the donald looks brightly into the future and imagines washington last gallon beijing walking down the yellow brick road together he might

want to try out a different strategy caleb up an artsy new york independent political analyst out of sun three told just that trump some predictable approach to foreign policy isn't helping anybody. prompts diplomacy as sort of introduced in his book the art of the deal is this road that he goes he may give you a compliment one day and completely break you down the next promises to improve relations with russia greatly and so far i haven't seen any evidence of it and even the the. nuclear. nuclear peace with north korea seems to be stalling these days so everything tells me that military spending will continue as planned if not more travel will be more for the united states than for our foreign partners because now trump has forces the. advantage because

people will be able to read him much more clearly. never take him at face value always understand that he's playing some kind of game. but as well as seeking talks with russia and china trump also wants to talk pace with the taliban and he's just asked pakistan for help with the ranging matter then that he had a big twitter spat with pakistan's leader just two weeks ago i will have more on this story a bit later on south. now the french prime minister has reportedly said that he will suspend the controversial increase in the cost of fuel as an act of appeasement follows a weekend that witnessed the most violent riots in paris in half a century where for three weeks the so-called yellow vests vent their anger over the planned hike the protests have become more general with paramedics in paris and high school students nationwide to also joining in to air their grievances. i. feel.

we will always be here even if it means losing our company or losing everything could be here until the end of it was was. so you could call it this law will kill all small ambulance companies and big corporations will take over smaller companies like cause have invested a lot of money will disappear overnight and no one will help us with staying here as long as necessary we have nothing to lose anymore oh. oh. loser quit their warehouse company secretaries would come to support ambulance workers because if this all continuous we'll lose all jobs too.

there is less work for us every single day hospitals do it even have the right to coalesce and give us work the prime minister the governments will do nothing for us nothing they're leaving a cynic alley with out where the ambulance workers will lose their jobs patients will lose out. more began as local protests against high fuel prices has turned into a nationwide uprising against the new macro lens presidency the turmoil led him to cancel his visit to serbia so that he could hold emergency talks with his cabinet he's currently considering whether to impose a state of emergency his political rivals meanwhile have rounded on him over the crisis scottish it could simply tell the prime minister ten asked medically the cancellation of field tax increases that our way of those already ply but also those to come in january in june and so on until the end of a man all micron's five year term or not if there must be a ban on taxes before any talks seriously way of making the discussion credible

look only the time for debate is over it is time for action for concrete measures an immediate gesture of appeasement is required and this gesture of appeasement we are asked that it be the immediate cancellation of the tax increases that are still shy jeweled for generally the first the so-called yellow vests riots have incurred large financial losses in some areas shut profits for instance are down fifty percent protesters right blockades to of course transport companies nationwide an estimated four hundred million euros four million euros worth of damage. as done to paris on saturday alone the demonstrators ran riot smashing property across the capital the media and politicians have compared the violent unrest on saturday with historical revolutions that occurred in france they see similarities with the class warfare of the nine seventeen eighty nine revolution others are reminded of the student uprising it may have nine hundred sixty eight which led to the resignation

of the then president charles de gaulle and the best protesters are apparently getting hold even from the riot police and control of video has emerged from a protest in the southwestern french town of polls showing offices in right gear they're removing their helmets the demonstrators cheered their action and sang the national anthem some say that it was a sign of solidarity with the protest all the others are claiming it was an attempt to pacify the crowd after a violent clashes. and other uses for microsoft's boss is announced his company will supply the u.s. army with all the latest technologies it needs the decision was taken even though some of the tech giants employees have expressed concerns. we are going to provide the us military with access to the best technology to all the technology we create false start we have to win people's hearts and minds we want silicon valley to know

just how ethical in our noble tradition the military has many microsoft employees don't believe that what we build should be used for waging war when we decided to work at microsoft we were doing so in the hopes of empowering every person on the planet to achieve more not with the intent of ending lives and enhancing lethality well last week microsoft won a four hundred eighty million dollars u.s. army contract to provide digital simulation org men to reality systems and they're also bidding two for a controversial pentagon deal called jed i which ed i the joint enterprise defense infrastructure cloud is expected to cost ten billion dollars it will be a part of the u.s. defense department's efforts to upgrade its i.t. systems but microsoft is not the only the only one competing for the lucrative contract amazon is vying with microsoft for the jet ideal google had also been in the running of though it dropped out saying the contract would be inconsistent with

its principles but we spoke to roger kay he's a technology analyst who says that for microsoft lucrative contracts military or not are a greater priority than its employees concerns. it is interesting that in silicon valley which is somewhat of a younger culture or sort of old line tech. that there's this sort of studiousness sort out at the cold things and certainly some of what smith is saying is directed at existing employees i think that the message for them is pretty much we're going to be in this business it's an important part of our portfolio and we intend to be part of it and if you have an issue with that we may need to decide to do something about that but i also think it's important to understand that knowledge terry and technology got hand in hand that developed technology ever since the dawn of time as part of what military activity is all

about it's gaining technological edge and your adversaries know. it's not all surprising to find the technology industry engaged with the military here and in other countries as well. that radio stations across the u.s. have been dropping the christmas classic baby it is cold at site from playlist following a backlash from listeners critics complaining that the song in which a man attempts to persuade a woman to spend the night with him is not in keeping with modern values and flies in the face of the meeting movement. head looks well they know no no i didn't write more later i'm going to say that i quote our sense of humor he might already have it on. the track there was first recorded for the nine hundred forty nine hollywood film that changed daughter and quickly became a hit a winning an oscar for best original song the following year since then it has been

covered by tens of artists but me too activists say that the lyrics normalized manipulative and coercive behavior his claim though that critics misunderstand the song and argue that to be consistent lots of others would also have to be dropped from radio plays its. baby it's cold outside is basically a date rape song i'm glad people are finally realizing this here is your annual reminder that baby it's cold outside is basically a date rape song they want to play baby it's cold outside because it implies rape but they can play this horrible rag music that talks about sex drugs shooting people and cetera these other holiday songs must also be removed as are fanciful as well i saw mommy kissin santa claus subjecting minors to soft core porn white christmas racist santa baby golddigger blackmail and discuss the

story with the legal analyst jennifer braden and also the former candidate for new york city council manny tell us. this is something that is creating such an uproar we can't ignore it and also maybe it's reflecting that things need to change and that. maybe maybe things have maybe christmas carols also. has to evolve with our society there are a lot of important issues right now and when we focus on songs like this and trying to get it out i mean we're painting a message that made who has just become unhinged in going after these christmas songs from the one nine hundred forty s. which yes was a different era but frankly nobody nobody has cared about and so the meter movement wants to stay wants to stay current and relevant and i think that we need to focus on the main issues the biggest issues and stay away maybe from some of the lesser things like some of these christmas songs i think there's a lot of outrage i think women are really really angry the argument that maybe this is a little bit overkill. i think you have to look at that and see kind of what is behind

that and what's behind it is you know women want relief women who want change women want their voices heard reading into the lyrics of the song and also some of. it is a been i've been reading about this it's very interesting to see the different as you said it's really a question of interpretation is that it could be taken in different ways i mean i think if you're. a survivor of rape you're going to interpret it that way as a date rape song i think most people are going to study that it's from the one nine hundred forty s. and you know you could make an argument this is that this is a woman who several to celebrating for the actuality and it's really a flirting again and i missed it and i understand our diets and i do understand both sides of this argument i just see really the need to focus on on some of the bigger issues i understand that they're women that are survivors of rape and i do understand the argument i understand the side where we have to look at everything we have to understand because some way if women are truly angry about this and then

there must be something to it but at the same time you know i want. see a woman who can stand strong who can look at the song and say you know what that's not going to bother me i know what my boundaries are i know when to leave for me i feel like it's almost a step back to see all this rage and anger over that i want to see women going you know what we recognize the cultural differences are back that in those in that time that that kind of sucks for back then but thank god we are where we are now and we're going to have a voice watching us international back with more stories just to.

put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express what you. want to. achieve right. this is what we. were able to get. interested always in the water.

flow again the british army has issued a top level security alert over russian t.v. journalist he was accused of spying by the u.k. military and the media after he was said to have been acting suspiciously side an army facility well this is the journalist himself explained what happened. well i thought i would very much want to know what exactly happened we're being accused of espionage while we were just doing our job that we didn't break in the u.k. last november the twenty second and i remember that day perfectly well has been mentioned in the mail on sunday article we went to the military base which is one hundred kilometers from london that's location of brigade seventy seven we did a package about it we drove by the base stopped approached the security guards i introduced myself presented my id they took pictures of my documents my car then we recorded my piece to camera we recorded it on a professional video camera we didn't try to get inside the base something claimed by the mail on sunday we made our intentions clear that we wanted to film outside

and that's exactly what we did instead we being branded spice. and he also expressed disappointment to about his credentials and personal data being leaked to the media. the defense ministry sent out a warning which contains my photograph id number plates these are the documents i presented to the security guards at the base that's when they took pictures and these pictures were put in the memo how they got leaked to the press i have no idea but what's important is that in this memo if you look closely there's a note for internal use only despite that this secret memo is now all over the media. it is the bureau chief for russia's channel one in london and he was doing a story about the seventy seventh brigade which is sort of the cyber warfare units for the british military and considering that the british government spends quite a lot of time talking about the so-called russian threat and the threat from hybrid

warfare and russian reporters interested in this brigade is pretty much self-explanatory the russian embassy is also upset that the reporters personal details have been published online it is offensive that the personal data of russian journalists including their ids in the license plate of their car were made public it in danger security of russian citizens let alone the fact that it's a blatant violation of the norms generally recognized in civilized countries and this wasn't an isolated news report in fact the stories really snowballed and now even the defense secretary gavin williamson has made a statement about it he's called on members of the public to report any suspicious activity outside of british military bases and allow me to add a little legal disclaimer strictly speaking and i've just consulted our media lawyer about this it isn't against the law it's

a film on public land even if it is just outside a military base many a journalist has done it certainly i have no one ever leak to my press credentials or accuse me of being a rush. spy in the process but there is an important caveat hair in terms of the law the military can take action against anyone acting suspiciously we didn't try to penetrate the base b.b.c. correspondent did the exact same thing as us it was broadcast and no one thinks of punishing him there's nothing illegal and yet this story prince said in the mail on sunday you had the headline russian t.v. spies a court at top secret army base now first of all it's not top secret you can get to its location pretty much very easily with but with two clicks on the internet the article also goes on to feature an academic who warns that all reporters working for russian news channels are potential spies which is

a claim that frankly i find absolutely terrifying looking at it from where i am and given how tense relations between the u.k. and russia are at the moment the most suspicious thing about this reporter is that he is a russian citizen working for a russian news channel russian journalist monster a story about one of our bases that's the story did it again no give you sure his credentials yes were his credentials for which no were you re said he was obviously is just nonsense i just do not understand why our government want to carry on with this this tit for tat nonsense it's all tied in with this cripples isn't it we know this is all tied in with the fire that we haven't got conclusive evidence either way it's just part of the anti or russia rhetoric and i for one as a british citizen and frankly fed up of it frankly further to the back teeth of it are one jaw jaw with the russians and i'm sure most people want that rather than

war war whether it's for folks cold war like this or whether it's military led is just nonsense. pakistan says donald trump has asked the country for help in peace talks with time. militants in a bid to end the ongoing seventeen year war in neighboring afghanistan it does come though just two weeks after trumping gaged twitter spat with pakistan's leader in which he threatened to cut foreign aid to islamabad artist on a quarter takes a closer look. if you only listen to what president says about pakistan you might think the country is a haven for terrorists one that at the same time is soaking up aid money from uncle sam we can no longer be silent about pakistan safe havens for terrorist organizations anything anything about it for taking the law they'll do anything for us to do a good damned thing for us but no longer paying one point three billion the fact is that what paying them nothing because that's what they've done to help us nothing

so it comes as a bit of a surprise that it's now the us asking for help from islamic bod but it's not the kind of help that comes in the form of a check but help in resolving the us is seventeen year war on terror in neighboring afghanistan now trump already sent a letter to the prime minister which judging by pakistan's reaction was very cordial he's emphasized that pakistan and the usa should explore opportunities to wood together and renew their partnership and now the u.s. envoy responsible for bringing the war to a close is taking a trip to pakistan now this politics of flip flopping might seem strange but it's not the first time u.s. foreign policy has contradicted itself when it comes to pakistan washington already tried to mend ties back in september when secretary of state mike pompei o flew to islam a bud i hope we can turn the page and begin to make progress even proclaimed the

u.s. needs pakistan we need pakistan to seriously engaged to help us to get the reconciliation we need in afghanistan but that statement came amidst u.s. threats to yet again cancel aides to the country confused well you're not alone i do the americans from both distance this isn't a three x. then normal august and i know all this. much. because you've gotten bogus on but. isn't. so when do you. start box somehow in sequence but. i have. to do with a plain good u.s. bad u.s. hasn't done much for peace in afghanistan where the taliban washington's sworn enemy is on the rise despite talks and peace conferences in moscow in geneva this year no concrete solutions have surfaced neither with the u.s.

the afghanistan government or the taliban coming to the same table mistrust and inconsistency is the name of the game in this conflict and the us a stance on pakistan is no exception of course reporting now you want to say we're back with more nice and healthy. but all right.

we're. right on the bank. and this is going to. do internationally known that these industries. simply ignored money. and. they're setting prices and there's no more markets in the prize.

ironically russia is moving toward where america was the one nine hundred fifty s. with more like our current administration. greetings and sally you take the shooting welcome back from the weekend hawk watchers and there was certainly lots of em in last weeks and that is definitely definitely without a doubt the biggest here in the west of course is obviously the end of the forty first president the united states george herbert walker bush which i'm old sure you're all aware of by now given the almost constant reverence and historical legacy whitewash.
