you know if you're here and i heard it was my. mentor. and i think part. of. this. was. i'm going to you're going to. get a lot of these facts the united states today declares it is then russia is in material breach of the treaty and will suspend the applications as a remedy effective in sixty days unless russia returns to full and survival supplies the united states issues an ultimatum to russia saying moscow has one last

chance to show its complying with a key cold war era nuclear treaty before the deal is ditched. also this hour the u.k.'s prime minister is feeling the heat as she kickstarts five days of practice at debates in the house of commons and looks to secure the backing of m.p.'s the head deal has a crucial votes next week. sounds off to nationwide protests and the most violent riots in paris and cost a century the french government shield suspending a controversial fuel tax hike to six months. from moscow we're watching all tea international with me. welcome to the program. the u.s. secretary of state has given moscow an ultimatum they bristle ledge file ations of a key nuclear missile treaty might pump aoe has said russia has sixty days to show

its complying with the i n f before washington pulls out. in the light of these facts the united states today declares it has been russia in material breach of the treaty and will suspend our obligations as a remedy effective in sixty days unless russia returns to full and verifiable compliance well it's a two month ultimatum now in the aftermath of this announcement we have heard from the chief of nato he is saying that russia should not miss this opportunity to preserve a historic treaty arms hacked up between the united states and russia he's saying do everything possible to keep it intact these are his words so russia not only possible last chaunce to come back into compliance with the on that cheating but we must also have to prepare for the world without the threat of the united states is pulling out of this historic treaty they accuse russia of having violated

however russia says they haven't violated the treaty they've been in compliance with the document all along let's review the arms race is getting out of control. we did not snip this time defense as you know it was not we just pulled out of the antiballistic missile treaty russia has developed and developing the stabilizing weapon systems for more than a decade in direct violation of its treaty obligations with the good because we respond to the threats that confronted us we're moving forward to modernize our nuclear arsenal and ensure that our capability to remain on matched we will never allow anybody to have anything even close to what we have it would usually be for american partners next week remains we will give an immediate and reciprocal response. now the i.m.f. that's intermediate nuclear forces treaty was key and decisive in ending the cold

war it's an agreement that bans both short range and intermediate range nuclear weapons now. pointed out that a short range or intermediate range nuclear weapon could not reach russia from the united states or the united states from russia they're both not within range however the european union countries feel that the possible terminations of this treaty puts them in point on pumped a bill position let's review with some of what the e.u. countries have set regret the withdrawal announced by the us we see this treaty as a very important ohm's control instrument and something that also serves european interests and therefore also german interests to this the announcement by the us that it's going to withdraw from the i.m.f. accord is regrettable the i.n.f. agreement has been an important pillar of our european security architecture for thirty years for us in europe it's of great importance we call on the u.s. to consider the possible consequences if u.s.

and russia need to remain engaged in constructive dialogue to preserve the treaty and to ensure. to ensure its cool and verifiable implementation which of course is crucial for europe's and global security now at this point people are reflecting on the fact that just previously roughly twenty four hours before this announcement from the secretary of state we heard donald trump where we saw him on twitter saying that he did not want a new arms race and be moaning that a large amount of military spending that the united states has been engaging in however it seems that with this recent announcement and the threat to withdraw from this vitally important treaty that the trumpet ministration overall and the white house are giving mixed messages. at the same time washington is looking to ease tensions with beijing president trump took to twitter on tuesday to say that america has begun negotiating a new trade deal with china that both he and cheating paying one the talks to be

a success it comes two days after the leaders met in buenos aires where they attempted to lay the groundwork for a trade war cease fire on the first day of those talks with the chinese president trump tweeted though that beijing had to agree to reduce and remove tariffs on cars imported into china from the u.s. that made it sound as if a deal had already been reached beijing however has not commented on the american president's claims they were today was joined by jeffrey tucker from the american institute for economic recession to discuss the two countries trade prospects and judging by what both american and chinese officials have said since trump the. thing it seems no deal has been let's just before we go into this have a quick listen. but you know there are exercise soon they're going to roll all the way. so i can say it was. part of the deal.

to sides proposed a serious of constructive and some how to resolve the existing differences and problems of the two sides consultation and work hard to reach a concrete agreement of mutual benefit. so how do you interpret trying tweet jeffrey. well trump clearly blinked in his negotiations with china and that's for a reason it's because everything he promised would happen with this trade war stuff has not happened it's actually to seriously harmed american exporters were seen american car plants actually shut down that sent a lot of panic and shock waves through the white house especially concerning the u.s. auto industry itself so my fear is that what's really happening here is he wanted to calm down the financial markets that were that were very much punishing these trade wars that's harming so many people going into the holiday season he wanted to

see some optimism so he pulled back on who was aggressive stance which china and sure enough the markets grew so my worry is that ninety days from now we're going to be back at it again and the terror of war with china is going to pick up all over again. is the most important week of the british prime minister's tenure and it's fair to say had battle for bracks it has not got off to the best of starts that's off the trees in may's government was found in contempt of parliament for the fist time in its history the pams has parliament's failure to back it deal could see the exit door slam shut and the countries face. if you reject what the other side have described as the only deal on offer whatever you say to the contrary you put this country on course for no deal the e.u. twenty seven member states have made it clear that this is the best deal available and that there is neither the time nor the inclination to reopen negotiations and

ensure we leave in good order on the twenty ninth of march next year the choice the choice before parliament is clear this deal no deal or the risk of no bricks it. well it has been absolutely turbulent time in parliament and today the house has spoken in the most unprecedented of fashions and that's as the government has been found in contempt of parliament now that comes following the common supporting a motion demanding full disclosure of the legal texts on breck said now in theory the government should be now obliged to produce that legal text on bret's that by the government today responded saying that it will tell the public on parliament unlike exactly what it intends to do in due course though many say it would be absolutely unimaginable if m.p.'s did not get a copy of that text ahead of the meaningful vote in parliament next week on tuesday december the eleventh or now all of that drama has completely overshadowed the fact

that today was supposed to be the ground old opening of the five days of the breck set to pay for when the prime minister theresa may finally managed to speak she was shut down by an avalanche of m.p.'s criticism the prime minister has seen these negotiations only as an exercise in the internal management of the conservative party and that did not work very well at all prime minister spent much of the two and a half years dealing with her colleagues on the conservative party rather than negotiating with the european union the prime minister's deal seriously undermines environmental protection in this country she is afraid that that shit. would sink one thousand jobs lost to the european banking authority one thousand jobs lost for lead you to p.t. medicines agency mr speaker that's not projects here that's the reality and it's already been two years you well it has entirely divided the nation for the last two

years and it all boils down to that vote next week in parliament on december the eleventh and in the last two years we have seen many many difficult stages for the prime minister we've seen resignations from her top team we've had deadlines come and we've had calls for breakfast to even be reversed and ideas and notions that a second referendum could be on the cards and even the e.u. has put options in place saying that the britain could actually remain within the e.u. but today it's really been pandemonium in parliament and it's going to be a very difficult uphill five day battle for the prime minister because now it's make or break for her government still to come on r.t. after weeks of violent protests the french government has caved in to b.l.o. vesta manson agreed to suspend fuel tax hikes more on that after the break.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to. go to the right to be cross this is what the forty three of the four hundred people are. interested in the why is it. seems wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out just become educated and in detroit equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. and. welcome back to r.t. the french governments will suspend a controversial increase in the cost of fuel in the wake of nationwide protests the ten comes off to paris witness three weeks of the west riots in half a century. well it seems that opinion polls show that most people are favorable to those concessions given by the government and announced by the french prime minister today but as with many of them have said this is not enough and they will push for that tax reductions and it looks like the protests that was planned for

this saturday will still go ahead so what did the prime minister announced in total well first of all he announced a moratorium on fuel tax hike that was due to take place in a month's time in january and said that that will be suspended for six months he also announced that there would be no increases to utility bills so that's gas and electricity in the hope that will help a menu working class british people who say that they just struggling to live with the high costs of living here in france let's take a listen now to want to. say both has been this fiscal measure for six months introduce it on to has been discussed with. no tax is worth putting the nation's unity in danger well these protests have been going on for france for the last few weeks or into the week now and over the last two weekends there has been a lot of violence moring those protests particularly in the saturday just go on

hundreds of thousands of people out on the streets and people on saturday burning cause and building smashing in new ching shorts and coups ing millions of euros of damage to different economy into the city of paris let's have a flavor now and see what's happened over the last few weeks. it was the two were. were the outcry

but. it was. the french prime minister also said today that you'd have to be day not to hear the wrath of the french people and he says the government has been listening to them although many of the protesters feel that this is probably too little too late and they feel that this concessions that build that should come in this protest movement as i mentioned for the moment the ship as you will see that the protest on saturday will still go ahead and even looks like this movement hasn't yet got the concessions from the government that it will it's. the so-called yellow vest riots have incurred large financial losses in some areas chop profits for instance a down fifty percent protestors right blockades have cost transport companies nationwide an estimated four hundred million your race and four million euros worth

of damage was done to paris on saturday alone as demonstrators run riot smashing property across the capital. fiore as the fuel price hike has sentimental micron's approval ratings to their lowest ever less than one in four now approve of the french president sharply down in just a month patricia regional councillor for francis national party says micron's response has horrified protesters. i was actually with the with the yellow vests listening to the announcement made by the prime minister and they were appalled when they heard it they say what did it think we are throwing some peanuts at us and thinking this is going to come us basically what the prime minister announced was the fact that they were only he was only going to temporarily halt their prized prices in fuel and this is not what they've asked for the they know very well what it said that it's

a temporary measure that he said after six months we will decide what to do after six months they will probably implement it six months from now we have european elections so it would actually mean that straight after the european elections micro would actually make the decision whether or not to reinstill these taxes yes or no just is just not enough and not a strong enough commitment made to the huge outcry from the french people is first of all got to do with this with the terrible arrogance of my car what he didn't realize is actually what the yellow vests took up for in france were very legitimate cases and that more than eighty percent listen to this eighty more than eighty percent of the french people actually support what the yellow vests are claiming today the second problem is his great ignorance mccaw is totally not aware what is going on in real trusts outside the big cities he and his government have no elected people don't know anybody and don't know what's going on

the french people are dead that's part their purchasing power has plummeted they're being over text everywhere there is harming unemployment and things are getting cheaper their spending power is going down and taxes are going up they are fed up with it. yet a vast protesters are already being charged in court with one man in the city of not three did ten men to appeal his guilty sentence during a protest he had streamed his exchange with police live on social media and said it clearly shows he did not commit the crimes he is accused of here's his story. you. know. what. when you. look at us pretty soon we're saying i should be detained they ordered me to turn around so i did i didn't think they would beat me i thought they would just push me

against the wall now you can see the placement here he's beating me i was hit twice in my ribs that i explained i was just filming nothing else and was there for just about fifteen minutes one placement had his knees in my back the other one held my legs down and the third pin my head to the ground with his knee. they didn't really land me to speak although they gave me a lawyer parachute to me was like i was already a criminal like a robe distort i tried to explain everything but i prefer to trust their colleagues and not a regular citizen like me. certainly is accused of throwing rocks at police and remaining in the crowd despite two orders to leave his argument that he couldn't have thrown the stones as he was busy filming was dismissed as the court ruled the facebook video can say no verifiable date.

the boss of microsoft says his company will supply the u.s. army with all the technology it needs their decision was taken in there some of the tech giants employees have expressed consent. we are going to provide the us military with access to the best technology to all the technology we create full stop we have to win people's hearts and minds we want silicon valley to know just how ethical an honorable 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 would doing so in the hopes of empowering every person on the planets to achieve more not with the intent of ending lives and enhancing lethality last week microsoft won a four hundred eighty million dollars a us army contract to provide to augment and reality systems is also begging for

a controversial pence can deal court. the joint enterprise defense infrastructure clout is expected to cost ten billion dollars it will be part of the u.s. defense department's efforts to upgrade its i.t. systems but microsoft is not the only one competing for the lucrative contracts amazon has also set its sights on the jet ideal google was in the running but dropped out saying the contract would be inconsistent with its principles technology analyst roger cable leaves a lucrative contracts for microsoft outweigh the concerns of its employees. it is interesting that in silicon valley which is sort of the younger culture or sort of old lime tech on that there's this sort of studiousness about the old sayings and certainly some of what misses say is directed at existing employees i think 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 bond with it and if you have an issue with that we may decide to do something about that but i also think it's important to understand that knowledge terry and technology go hand in hand. technology the ever since the dawn of time as part of what military activity is all about instigating technological edge on your adversaries so. it's not at all surprising to find the technology industry engaged with the military here and in other countries as well. the u.k. employment tribunal is set to decide whether ethical vagueness and is a philosophical belief that should be protected by law and afforded the same status as a religion it comes after a man who wants to make or proceedings against his former employer claiming he was fired because of his commitment to veganism jordi chasm in china says he was fired

by the legal against cruel sports after he disclosed that it was investing in fence involved in animal testing he believes he was discriminated against because of his beliefs his former employer however denies the allegation saying instead that he was sacked for christ's misconduct we were joined for reaction by people on both sides of the debate. big it is a refers to the philosophy that we should not be using animals and so i think that for the individuals who want to say hey this industry of animal agriculture which is just an ethical and so many levels that doesn't even need to exist i think to say that those individuals should have that perspective respected is actually extremely modest and so many reasons why this is a stupid idea and i want to pick him i mean firstly and most obviously has no religion and it's not philosophical belief it's a crowbar and into that category i think is insulting to religious people frankly the vague and who are speaking up for the billions of animals who this very moment

are suffering horrifically but let's look at this on a more practical level the employment tribunal currently deals with around sixteen thousand cases every year involving race gender and disability real things that really affect people up and down the country in the context of their employment look at what mr guitar said referring to you know real real issues about about race and in discrimination and so on and it's extremely dismissive of the literally billions of living feeling individuals what is being suggested here is that you would open up the equalities act to a category of people for which there was zero evidence that they experience any discrimination in the workplace whatsoever and future generations are going to look back on individuals like mr good toss the same with a load back on these people who who decades ago were generations ago were saying oh you think that people of color should have equal rights what's next women should have equal rights what's next gay couples should have equal rights and the bottom

line is animals are living feeling individuals and they deserve just like our dogs just like our cats and just like each of us to have their right to live and the right to be free that they desire respected just as we would respect in each of us i think we need to make priorities when we're dealing with laws and tribunals and i think in this country it's hard enough to deal with those genuine claims involving discrimination against people without this new math category. this is a really imagined problem it's come out of nowhere it's been invented by lawyers in order to generate a new way of suing people and again we hear you know just dismissal of the underlying cause it's not genuine it's mad this sort of thing and again the bottom line it isn't actually about the humans it's about the billions of animals and what we're talking about is trying to display an internal state and when it comes to a religion or a genuinely consistently held philosophical belief that's easier to do than when you have something like veganism where people practice the same thing but don't

necessarily mirror the same internal belief system to save it is that it gets complex to solve doesn't mean that it's not worth solving i dismiss it out in terms of oh this is what's practical or we can't we don't have the time we don't have we have to get on to real issues is extremely insulting and it's just because the animals voices are so thoroughly silence that they're not even considered victims of all. for more information on any of us stories to convince tell website. i'll be back in thirty minutes time with more clayborne update. manufacture consent to stick to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final larry go around. the world. we can all middle of the room sick.

i mean really really. is finding this out a need. your mother. had authorized by you again gouging down the toilet. ya's this diagram i didn't. know i'm going to employ is going to go at the bridge. unless i go over in the other side the most i'm not the host u.d.m.a. look to figure if that's going to be the law has a funny but it was you don't love me leave. it out. and write down the bank call for the work done got bayswater chemical lies and as our business is going to go he would develop a new treatment there into american old mocker know that these industries out of polluting good this simply ignore the money that most of them live in else

and when we lost a mother of them like me to the last day in this. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime families each dish. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need

remember of one one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only boom bust. out what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line and they get accepted or rejected. so if you want to be president. or some want to be. that's why flabby precipices like the forty three a boy can be good or bad i'm interested always in the waters in the houses. aren't bad for city.
