and melanie when. you. russia will not see the survival of a key cold war on the streets that's according to security advisor america's top diplomat issues a sixty day old moscow. this hour french protesters voiced their anger over what they call crumbs offered by their government and balance of keep rolling on the streets for a fourth consecutive week. political artists in germany campaign to name

and shame far right protesters joining to mark riots. welcome to r.t. international live from moscow with. three am now here in the russian capital and donald trump's security advisor says washington is going to kill off a key cold war arms treaty with russia and matter how important it is to moscow. we've made it clear for example we're going to get out of the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty and that's important to the russians and they're not going to see that treaty well interestingly when we were hearing from the east decile security advisor john bolton in his remarks he admitted that russia would like to preserve the i.n.f.

treaty he also admitted that european allies are quite concerned about seeing the treaty go however he said that the usa doesn't want to pull out of the treaty and he gave interesting reasons let's listen to his words one country in the world is bound by the i.n.f. treaty us china is not bound by our estimates are between a third and a half of their existing ballistic missile capability would violate the treaty if they were and iran has an extensive b.-m. capability they just tested one this past weekend but we have global responsibilities in asia in the middle east we have to be responsive there to so essential the united states would like to build more weapons bigger rockets and they don't want to be restrained by this treaty that would halt them from doing so now we've heard similar sentiments expressed by mike pompei oh the secretary of state this is some of the comments that he has made our mission is to reassert our

sovereignty reform the liberal international order we aspire to make big international order serving our citizens not to control them. american tends to lead now and always so essentially the vision is for a new order in the international community with the united states at the top now mike pompei o specifically referred to the ultimatum that was given to russia regarding the i.m.f. treating 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 now russia has responded to these allegations from u.s. leaders this is some of what we've heard from russia's president fust the american side says it wants to leave the treaty then they start looking for reasons why the main reason given is that we are violating something of a what at the same time no evidence of this is presented. now russia has its own

grievances for example russia has pointed out that this missile system set up in europe supposedly to protect european countries from iran and north korea could very easily be used against russia now the i.n.f. treaty was signed over thirty years ago it was very key in ending the cold war and it basically bans medium range and short range nuclear weapons it bans both the production of those weapons as well as flight tests and other other vehicles for developing such weapons that now at this point we're seeing the sixty day also made and that has been given to russia and if moscow and washington are not able to resolve this disagreement in the next sixty days the world could be facing a new reality long after the cold war ended a former u.k. army officer charles schubert's told us the media unfairly accusing russia of triggering triggering a new arms race. what we've got is a situation from the headlines today at least where you've got the u.s.

has announced that it is threatening to pull out of this i.n.f. treaty and deploy medium range weapons russia has said if that happens we also will be developing and deploy knows weapons and then the media says it's russia that's launching a new arms race whereas of course logically speaking it would be actually the u.s. that has done that by putting out the i.m.f. in the first place when you look at some of the u.s. and u.k. media headlines at the moment that they are indicating that it's russia that is on the verge of launching a new cold war the actual real basis for the american objections here is i think elsewhere in the world that they want to be up to build these weapon systems to compete with other countries such as china. speaking in parliament the french prime minister has again explained the government's climbdown over fuel tax rises in the face of the yellow vest protests. for if the state is to remain strong and

firm it is first and foremost a guarantor of public order as i said no tax deserves to endanger the unity of the nation. antigovernment protests are set to be held for a fourth consecutive we can in france because protesters are not satisfied by the government's six month suspension of attacks so it's nothing more than a delaying party short of devinsky has this report. this is one of the main battlegrounds all the weeks of protests over the fuel tax rise that seemed to the whole country. i want to thank our police security forces firefighters. with. these people are victims of incredible violence whose aim was to injure and even kill i express my deep gratitude to them

for staying cool under pressure of cars and buildings burned shops smashed. and some of the most iconic monuments in paris crashed. the number of injured keeps rising. you would have to be deaf not to hear the wrath of the french people said the prime minister and it seems the government has heard the cries of the yellow vests to some degree this is yours as with the prison we decide to suspend the fuel tax hike this is not a trick is to generate a debate with the unions with you and above all with citizens to find the fairest and most efficient solution president was adamant that he wouldn't capitulate to the voice of the street. i distinguish between fellow citizens and their demands and thugs i will not concede anything to those who want destruction and disorder

but now the government has given just some of the demands of the protesters the yellow vests have tasted blood and are now hungry for more news. 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 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 and 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 largely ignored them refusing to change course the concessions being offered to the yellow vests show that he's willing to drop his uncompromising stance when it seems the violence spirals out of control so that you can ski on t. harris. approach a professor of french politics at u.k.'s work university all of a davis feels that mccrone can no longer ignore those street protests. i think there is a question for the administration about the extent to which it can continue to ignore the demands of the yellow vests and that comes in part from the high level of popularity that the protests enjoy among the wider population so before the violence last week you know we had levels of popularity between sort of seventy and eighty percent of the population supporting the movement so in circumstances like that it's no longer possible to rely on the police to enforce public order

in the way that one might otherwise do so i think this has also to do with the extent to which the police can be relied upon and yes i mean michael has been forced to listen and to compromise and i think this is only the the first of several compromises that we're going to see. you know vast professor protesters have already been appearing in court one man who streamed his exchange with police live on social media is appealing his guilty verdict he says this video clearly shows he didn't commit the crimes he's been accused of. you. know. what. it's. like as i presume is saying i should be detained they ordered me to turn around so i did but didn't think they would beat me if 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 why i explained i was just filming nothing else and was there for just about fifteen minutes from placement had his knees in my back the other one held my legs down and the third pinned my head to the ground with his knee. they didn't really let me just speak they gave me a parachute to me was like i was already a criminal like a group just stool to try to explain everything that they preferred to trust their colleagues and norse or regular citizens like me to send these 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 cool the folks who video can say no verifiable date.

of the afghan government says it's ready for talks with the taliban i'm willing to consider making changes to the constitution and i forgot that a months off with a short break. seemed wrong but all wrong just all. let me call you to shape out. become active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. as the protesters are rather saying their purchasing power has diminished because

all this money printing that's going on and you mention they can't tell the fact that money printing in rich people on average in paris and. in paris and those people who are working doing blue collar jobs their personal power is eroded and so they are going to pamela anderson figured out that this is a structurally violent system that they need to address with a quid pro quo violence or violence. in the program political laws or in the german city of kemet so calling on the public to name and shame those who took. this year their shoes off some seven thousand protesters have already been uploaded the all groups office has now been shut down by police on his piece all of a hospital. hunting season is open for the 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 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 offer to 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 were at fall right on t. migrant demonstrations the picture at play 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 that police have said that the project could fall foul of germany's strict privacy laws as well as copyright infringement while the data protection commission 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 berlin if they agreed with the campaign to inform or if they thought this whole thing was well a little bit see could. police. tricky one you have to ask if people give their

consent if not this shouldn't be posted on the other hand and the people are going to someone's face and they're also doing it like publicly so it's quite common that's the would be recognised there is a new money goes up to something. probably have a quiet word or there must self above it in. name and shame in a. quiet. they're quite sensitive and it counts as a personal data especially when it comes to determining history and whatever your opinion about far right radicals this idea isn't good to identify people like this isn't the correct way to handle a problem it is a fire that there were people from the extreme right came with demos some were seen 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 germany's technical university of dresden says this is the wrong way to attack political opponents. this is doing serious things in a very. way. attacking political opponents is fine this action will feed right in populists who are now with some right can claim. they are treated unfairly by their opponent and fearful or at least whole initiative will end up with getting the opposite of what they were looking for. the afghan government says it's ready for talks with the taliban without any preconditions to bowl ads it's even ready to discuss changes in the country's constitution and nato foreign ministers have just agreed to back those negotiations

and then of course in a has more. 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 a voice 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 nor do we. console verano 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 that marked 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 will 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 of ghana's down at the moment now the next a meeting on the situation in the country is scheduled to take place very soon and

the coming friday here in moscow between b.-u. russian and the u.s. representatives. meanwhile the nominee to lead u.s. central command in charge of afghanistan operations has revealed to the senate that afghan army losses are unsustainable if they don't general mackenzie's admission comes even though the u.s. has been training its army for seventeen years now. their losses have been very high they're fighting hard but the their losses are not going to be sustainable unless we correct this problem there are currently more than thirteen thousand u.s. military personnel in the country that's around six times less than the estimated number of taliban fighters more than two thousand u.s. soldiers and thirteen thousand taliban fighters have already been killed in the war and in the last four years alone almost thirty thousand afghan troops have lost their lives the u.s. has now spent over a billion dollars on the war that reached a peak at the start of the decade through mackenzie's confirmation hearing lawmakers lashed out at the lack of progress the spite all the money thrown at the

conflict we've been married for seventeen years seventeen years is a long time what are we doing differently when it comes to the afghan security forces that we haven't done for seventeen years while being focused on this. school live now to will griffin antiwar activist and u.s. military veteran who served in afghanistan thanks for joining us in the program so good to have you on today what do you think the chances we'll see actual meaningful peace talks between the afghan government and the taliban i mean the lads have said that negotiations are a waste of time so how productive do you think this could actually prove to be. i think coming to a conclusion with the taliban participating in the afghanistan government is in evidence ability now we have seventeen years of warfare going on and for the past two years from as long as i can recall is the pentagon has been admitted that there's been a stalemate in the country the taliban controls roughly fifty percent of that

country right now and the us the americans are spending tax dollars year in year out on this war and this year alone we've dropped more bombs in that country than any other year we've been there like the general said we've been there for seventeen years and we've got problems here in the u.s. that we need to start focusing on. just how do you think the taliban will respond to this because short a willingness to negotiate shows weakness on the side of the government a weak position do you think that's what actually embolden the taliban to go in a on the offensive. i don't think it embolden them this is a taliban that is probably in its fourth or fifth generation the taliban has been around for a long time so this is a different taliban that we're talking about twenty years ago and they are just the fact that they are willing to sit down and talk with the u.s. now compared to say fifteen twenty years ago when they were not willing to have and talk to the u.s. about this is the point that i need to make that the u.s.

might stay in afghanistan they might have military bases there and the taliban might be compromising on having that issue and that's something that's never happened before so that shows signs that peace is possible but now i think it really depends on what the u.s. will compromise on what you think the u.s. is that should have gone wrong in trying to secure peace in afghanistan as the general was saying that has gone on for seventeen years has been discussions about withdrawing troops troop surges troop reduction phase any prospect of a full withdrawal from the country. i think from the pentagon probably not but i think the american people need to step in and say we are sick and tired of this war we've spent too much we've lost too much. with the idea of moving forward and withdrawing i personally i want that to happen i don't think the pentagon wants that to happen unfortunately there are a lot of corporations the defense contractors behind this that do not want this war

to end and they have a huge influence over the politicians and the decision that these politicians make in this country so we have to be very aware of that a huge argument that i want to kind of the bump is a lot of people say if the u.s. pulls out of afghanistan then the terrorist organizations will grow i would actually counter that by saying that military action bombs being dropped killing in massive amounts of innocent civilians that's what's growing terrorism all over the middle east including south and west asia so military. actually it's actually increase in actually there is a u.n. study called journey to extremism where they did a study in north africa that showed that extremism has grown specifically because of the u.s. killing innocent people so withdrawal that i think that's the case that we need to do we need to follow through with well thanks so much for time today on the program will griffin u.s. military veteran and antiwar activist thanks for your take today on r.t.

. british prime minister to resign may use facing the toughest week of her political career for the second day running now she's been trying to turn a powerful tide against her bricks at the all while facing a grilling from m.p.'s in parliament artie's shadi it was dusty reports from the. after her nightmare day yesterday it seems like the prime minister still hasn't woke up from that nightmare every day in parliament seems to be very difficult for the prime minister and her government but never before in recent political history has the government been found in contempt of parliament now what that means is that the government today was forced to produce the full legal text on bricks and now that we see it it's clear to see why it may have been dependently withheld now it states that the whole of britain could remain within the customs union for an indefinite amount of time until another arrangement supersedes it that's to prevent a hard border between ireland and north and the now that's something that many

m.p.'s and parties and alike have said they would simply not vote for now is over the last few weeks documents have been trickling out of parliament about exactly what this final deal and it's day two of that crunch brecht's it debates in parliament in the run up to the meaningful vote on december the eleventh and some m.p.'s have gone so far to say that to raise a maze behavior is tantamount to misleading parliament the prime minister talking from brussels where the prime minister has been. inadvertently or otherwise the child poverty is rising congress was rising. rising household debt rising when will the prime minister. action why is she prepared to take from our children and grandchildren the ability to travel freely for you and why she do you know we which is normally illiterate the

next week will all be voting meaningfully on that final deal whether or not the prime minister will make it through is something that's still yet to be seen but given the fact that teresa mayes conservative government does not represent overall majority in parliament and many of her m.p.'s have also come out. say that they don't agree with what their leader is doing she really should be bracing for a defeat on vote having said that she says the deal is good but she could be the only one i believe that the deal we have negotiated is a good deal we will not revoke article fifty the british people voted to leave the european union and we will be leaving the only way to ensure that there is not a no deal scenario is to accept the deal and. how deal has been endorsed by the e.u. should give her some sort of backing that having said that the government faced three losses in parliament yesterday that has been catastrophic for her reputation

and indeed many are saying that her deal ignores the will of the people we're hearing of a new drive for a second referendum we're also hearing from many saying they'd like to reverse the whole thing altogether now ever since to resume may's deals conception and he's backing her have really been dropping like flies we've seen a whole summer of cabinet reshuffle so it's likely that there will be a defeat on her deal on december the eleventh and it could also mean the end of her premiership so we see at the moment a prime minister under siege but battling on in office but is she in power. for the latest global news headlines in the meantime this boom bust.

you know world big. and conspiracy it's. a way to be deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks.

yemen and the politics of denial and deceit the trumping ministrations continued support of the saudi led war is morally indefensible and strategically counterproductive blaming iran for the humanitarian crisis in yemen only ensures more suffering this time to the senseless conflict. this is boom bust broadcasting around the world and covering the world of business and finance and the impact upon all of us i'm part killed in washington the belly of the beast most of times although not the day we are.
