worldwide headlines for this wednesday welcome to your news on r.t.e. international. moscow has hit back at the united states after washington accused russia of violating a key nuclear missile treaty on tuesday the u.s. secretary of state gave moscow an ultimatum saying it has two months to demonstrate that it is complying with the i.n.f. before washington pulls out. in light of these facts the united states today declares it has found 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 so russia now possible last chance to come back into compliance with the island of cheating but we must also stop to prepare for a world without the treaty. are for more on this that's

a cross live now to watch. this seems to be a fair out of back and forth going on here what is this all about. good afternoon rory while russia is not violating anything that's how moscow puts it and the first place as simple as that and here is what i heard from the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman just a little earlier. thank you because that is where evidence has been presented to the u.s. position or if such evidence has been shown by the american side why they hired to have from russia i think russia is not supposed to be tearing up of the i am after treaty. she's raised in connection with the document. and guess what moscow has a problem with how washington has been complying. here it's about the american

missile defense systems in europe russia was kept being told that the reason it's there is to target whatever could fly over from iran or north korea however it could easily be used against russia too and this kind of argument dates back to quite some while ago. the arms race just getting out of control when we did not initiate this turn of events and as you know it was not we go down to the antiballistic missile treaty russia has developed been developing a stabilizing weapon systems for more than a decade in direct violation of its treaty obligations and with a good we only responded to the threats that confronted us were moving forward to modernize our nuclear arsenal and ensure their capability for me and i matched we will never allow anybody to have anything even close to what we have told you

is in our american partners x. is the agreement we will give in the media is this a pretty good response to. the i.n.f. treaty has been there for thirty years and under ed's terms the russians and the americans are not allowed to produce or test short range and medium range missiles that could carry nuclear warheads if the treaties god and europe will find itself under the most serious risk are washington's allies they're happy about that well some of them have openly said that they're not. going to but that one we regret the withdrawal announced by the us we see this treaty as a very important control instrument and something that also serves european interests and to their full. interests the announcement by the u.s. that it's going to withdraw from the i.m.f. accord is regret. the i.m.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. it to ensure its cool and verifiable implementation which of course is crucial for europe's and global security. so the risks are out there and the whole balance of european and actually global security is abstain so watch out for the next steps that the russian and the american diplomats are going to make in the next what is it now fifty nine days. right outside the russian ministry of foreign affairs thank you. we spoke earlier with former u.s. diplomat jim ross he told us that he doesn't believe that washington will stick

with the i.n.f. treaty. i think it's quite likely the u.s. will pull out of this treaty i think the the end of the story that just to finish that on the one hand yesterday we have donald trump saying we don't we don't want to do arms race we're spending too much and then today we have secretary pompei you saying this whatever trumps impulses might be to either have an agreement with the russians and as well as with the chinese to have a better relationship that he has a national security team that is entirely composed of the wrong people and what they want to do is to put russia into an untenable security position and this is simply one more rock they can throw at moscow and they don't really care with the consequences are that is what my fear is here and my fear with guarding the europeans and how it will affect our relationship with them is they simply do not have the courage or the the strength of character to say to the americans no this is bad for us this is bad for europe this in danger is our security we won't go

along with this. and say government protests are set to be held for a fourth consecutive weekend in fronts and what they are describing as act full of the insurrection that's despite the prime minister bowing to pressure and suspending a hike in fuel prices is a correspondent shot to do. this is one of the main battlegrounds all the weeks of protests over the fuel tax rise that seemed that lets the whole country. cars and buildings and shops marched in new kids and some of the most iconic monuments same tyrus practiced. the number of. rice saying. you would have to be deaf not to hate the rush of the french people said the prime minister and it seems the government. has

heard the cries of the yellow vests to some degree and suspending these tax measures to six months with no tax should put the unity of the nation in danger these concessions come even though just last week president michel was adamant that he wouldn't capitulate to the voice of the street but he cannot distinguish between fellow citizens and the. i will not concede anything to those who want destruction and disorder but now the government has given in to some of the demands of the protesters the yellow vests have tasted blood and are now hungry for more. we won't settle for grownups we will get the protests of commerce a time when mcewan's popularity has been so i ding down a slippery slope and hitting a new all time low we're not going to send in office eighteen months ago he

promised massive reforms from the pension system to the working code and that he wouldn't relent from getting the job done no matter how unpopular it proved to be my reform agenda is to modernize the country and we will pursue this modernization agenda to the end any chance that you will back down no chance his tenure as president has already seen one point spread protests but until now he has launched ignored them refusing to change course the concessions being offered to the yellow vests show that he is willing to drop his uncompromising stance when it seems the violence spirals out of control so that you can ski on t. harris we spoke with a member of the french national assembly. who says six months is a very convenient length of time to suspend the fuel price hike. should reveal he

went live on if they're taking the french people for fools they want to gain some time to subdue the beast before the european parliamentary elections out this is a thing that the n.h.s. won't see that they're trying to gain time they won't see in any case to the government or risk of entering into conflict with the e.u. will be obliged to recuperate the tax money not only use by implementing it freezes it sounds like they're mocking everybody it is in some sense the same as telling us that will be deceived and that be about it we're talking about french democracy it doesn't exist there is no parliament there is a disciplined author or a terry majority that does whatever the president says we see yellow vest protesters are already being sentenced in court with one man in the city of non-si determined to appeal his guilty verdict during a protest streamed his exchange with police live on social media he says the video clearly shows he did not commit the crimes he was accused of here is his story but

. what. more can i presume you're saying i should be detained they ordered me to turn around so i did but didn't think they would beat me and 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 there were i explained i was just filming nothing else and was there for just about fifteen minutes one place one 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 we just speak although they gave me a lawyer their attitude to me was like i was already a criminal like a real distort i tried to explain. everything but they prefer to trust their

colleagues and regular citizens 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 video contains. a group of political artists and the german city of cabinet's has called on the public to name right wingers who took part in anti immigrant protests earlier this year pictures of some seven thousand demonstrators have been uploaded to its website the office of the group was recently shut down by the police reporting from . hunting season is open for those cold problem germans people who attended fall right on t. migrant demonstrations in chemists following two migrants being charged for the

fatal stabbing of a german man in the city. i. were the hunt has been organized by an collective pushing their message haunt. me once and a signal we've seen you and it wasn't a mistake it's not ok with us what you've done to our town or our country it's an all sorts of the general public to deal with offenders and also know if it's a management to recognize the supporters of right wing violence the room ploy to in their own companies and to take action against them the group called the center for political beauty isn't messing about with their name and shame campaign on their website there's a section called the mentally ill catalog that contains seven thousand images of people who follow rice on tea migrant demonstrations the picture at pay is alongside a barometer denoting how far right they are deemed to be from soldier to hitler and

greta now the public also encouraged to upload their own pictures and in fact is being offered cash rewards for identifying those on the gallery that don't already have a name and employers have also been asked to check the list to see if anybody they employ is there police have said that the project could fall foul of germany's strict privacy laws as well as copyright infringement while the data protection commissioner has said that he will be looking in to the campaign while activists have said that this actually diminishes understanding of the real dangers posed by the extreme right i asked people in lynn if they agreed with the campaign to inform or if they thought this whole thing was well a little bit seeker. police. is tricky one and you have to ask if people give their consent if not shouldn't be posted on the other hand when the people are going to someone's face and they're also doing it like publicly so it's quite common to do

would be recognized there is a new money goes up to something odd probably have a quiet word with them ourself rather than. name and shame you know germans are quite. there quite sensitive and accounts of personal data especially when it comes to determine history whatever your opinion about far right radicals this idea isn't good to identify people like this isn't the correct way to handle the problem it is a for that there were people from the extreme right those came with demos some were giving straight arm salutes a symbol that is bound by law here in germany however it does seem though that people aren't too happy with this group taking on a job that really should be worn for more in force and peter all of a. professor. of the technical university of droste and says attacking political opponents is fine but not when it's done the way these activists are doing. this is

doing serious things in a very un serious way. attacking political opponents is fine this action will seat right in populists who are now with some right can claim their say or are treated unfairly by their opponents and fearful or at least whole initiative will end up with getting the opposite of what they were looking for. the danish government has announced controversial plans to send some migrants to an asylum center due to be built on an island. if one isn't wanted indeed a society one cannot be a burden for ordinary danish people that's why those who are deported because of crimes will get a new address that means we'll send them to the uninhabited island off when home

they're not wanted in denmark and they should feel it the center right government box the plan announced by the danish immigration minister the rightwing danish people's party posted a video on twitter praising the decision of depicting a man with the middle east in appearance who was left abandoned on a small island well a little while and dislocate that around was just only a kilometer from the mainland not far from the capital copenhagen the only infrastructure there at present is a research center into contagious animal diseases some stables and an animal crim a story and the government plans to spend about one hundred fifteen million dollars on building an asylum center by twenty twenty one however the island won't be for everyone only certain groups of migrants would be sent those with visas to only very restricted movement around the country also certain types of criminal including war criminals and people who pose a threat to state security they would be required to report to the island center

daily on pain of in prison. so we put the whole issue up for debate with our political activist george bought a media commentator neil wallis we asked them basically do you think this island detention center is a good idea. a so-called center right party you know getting into bed with the far right party and allowing them the opportunity to you know put these horrible racist cartoons out there i think just fuels the flames of this kind of divide and rule where more and more the social problems in european countries are being blamed on you know muslims generally and it's not just somebody of middle eastern appearance in this cartoon it's somebody you know specifically as a muslim the reason this government has done this. in denmark is because that is what these people want and the people of denmark are fed up with people like. george telling them how they should think what they should think and who they should welcoming to that country when he said it comes down to this i mean

you know a few jump lawyer is telling the majority of people in the country. no we metropole of tunes. no better than you do this isn't just a few lawyers saying this this is virtually all the progressive parties and i think it's rich finial well it's to talk about people like me telling people what to think and when he worked for a very very long time for them out of that many people. that have a sort of progressive politics as i see it recognize to be of to have been a huge part of creating this incredibly divided society in the first place where where the spectacular concentrated more than twelve. people who have. been used quite that clearly as i. referred to by is really that. god told them things like we've finished my prayers and i let you all simply to chant endless cliches about multinational is what. does not take

away those basic things people are unhappy and that's why they smoke and it's an elected government that has done this where about seventeen million refugees at the moment and we're headed towards about two hundred million by mid century and it is a tragedy where increasingly you're criminalizing people who have fled very very difficult circumstances and just one of these in life this is not a solution to the problem of immigration to demonize muslims are still up and coming on the program here want to see afghanistan says it's ready for peace talks with the taliban no strings attached i'm on that in just a moment. seems

wrong but. just don't call. me. yet to shape out to educate and indeed equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

they went to the stores working through them the government says it's ready for talks with the without any preconditions kabul says it's even ready to discuss possible changes to the colors to choose a more detailed here with all to use within a culture we've heard the statement coming from a high ranking government official right after the conference on the peace negotiations in afghanistan that took place here in moscow it was voiced that afghanistan will not see any preconditions for direct talks with the taliban including drafting a new constitution which previously used to be quite a stumbling block in our days we the government and the consul declare there are no prerequisites for the launch of the talks high peace council or age three c. is the charge of peace talks with the taliban it was back in twenty and

previously a kabul demanded to start any peace negotiations the taliban should first lay down its arms and respect the constitution but it does seem that things have changed and now afghanistan at the moment is calling for all international players including russia and the u.s. to support the ongoing peace negotiations now the taliban has long rejected afghanistan's coals for any talks they didn't even attend the two day conference that was held in afghanistan in geneva and was co-hosted by the afghan government and the united nations however the taliban did send representatives to meet with the avg on government officials in moscow in early november and of that to mark the first time the taliban had publicly appeared on the international arena since two thousand and one does seem that that particular meeting did help to allay ground for future dialogue between the two sides however would still need to. wait for the

official reaction official position on that coming from the taliban but still there is a lot of diplomatic activity going on in and around afghanistan at the moment now the next a meeting on the situation in the country is scheduled to take place very soon and the upcoming friday here in moscow between be a russian and the you asked representatives. a court in the netherlands has rejected a sixty nine year old man's request to legally change his age and argue that doing so would set a dangerous precedent the main reason is that. each requirements in the law gives rights and duties to people for instance to rights to or the duty to attend school and if those requirements wouldn't count if you could change your date of birth. become meaningless i mean the man who wants to change is

a sure describes himself as a young god he's a father of seven and even promised to give up his pension if indeed the dutch called would approve his request you also things that being legally younger will help him get more work and more matches on dating websites so we spoke to him ourselves. two years ago my doctor told me your biological age is around forty two years young i said but how is that possible so he explained to me because of the number of the nurses and all. of the brain we as human beings we have to change and so the state and the government have to change also they have to adopt and to realize that the people nowadays have a free will and that more consciousness about all those things will happen and that's the meaning of me court has given us many many reasons so we can think now is a time so we have lost the battle where we are going to win the war never give up if there is a way if there is no one i will create my own way that's it for this hour here on

r.t. international that was quickly become a busy day for wednesday both headlines hope you can stick around join us at the top of the. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or something want to be rushed. into going to be press this is what i'm up for free in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of our. question.

when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer it be no in the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying there's just no really hasn't been that we hear even many of the times families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in saying. not quite enough we've been through this and this isn't their way. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see that.
