this is. ignored. this.

would. mean people should do this and he shouldn't he should. be. pulled out of a key. the nuclear treaty with moscow has deepened the rift between the two sides

the us accusing russia of noncompliance with the american administration is going further questioning the relevance of other key international agreements and bodies on the correspondent because d.f. explains. it is time for change time for the old ways to die time for a new undisputed leader a new american world order our mission is to reassert our sovereignty reform the liberal international order the old ways are out of date the united nations is useless incompetent the i.m.f. is obsolete european union pointless all these international organizations union's treaties and agreements they only hinder america they tie its hands and cripple its power the logic is sound when we all be better off if we just let

america rule american tends to leave now and always point in case the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty russia is violating it says america others are bound by it it holds limits limits the united states and washington's policy requires it seems more nukes big nukes foster nukes one country in the world is bound by the i.n.f. treaty us china is not bound by iran has an extensive b.m. capability that but we have global responsibilities in asia in the middle east we have to be responsive near term international democracy has failed alliances have failed nations cannot tell right from wrong everyone wants a say but why let them they no longer know what's good for them america

is good for them this is what president trump is doing he is returning the united states to its traditional central leadership role in the world and so it seems we enter a new age in the age where might makes right without all the fluff and lip service to partnerships and equality the old world order is dead welcome to a new american age. the agreement was signed in the final years of the cold war production of short hand medium range nuclear missiles are prohibited under the pact and now the u.s. says russia is producing missiles in violation of the agreement while moscow the claims washington is threatening its security with bases and missile silos in eastern europe the u.k. army officer charles gave us his opinion on the spot. 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 deploying medium range weapons russia has said if that happens we also will be developing and deploy most 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 them not by putting up 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 there with these weapon systems to compete with other countries such as china. for peace talks on the yemeni crisis are taking place in sweden on thursday the meeting is aimed at ending nearly four years of war in the region but u.n. team is working alongside the delegations and is determined to achieve

a resolution on behalf of unicef but more importantly be how for every single of the fifteen million children in yemen there is only one message to those who are gathering today in sweden that is the message of peace for this brutal war the brutal war on children raging throughout the country for too long for that war to stop now the war in yemen broke out back in twenty fifteen with the saudi military incursion into the continent's poorest country launching a war against these that has left around two million people displaced and two thirds of the population in dire need of humanitarian assistance we can now or get across live in joint peter mara president of the international committee of the red cross joining us this morning here on r.t. international a very good. morning to you sir can you confirm the reports we understand the latest u.n. report one hundred thirty two million people from forty two countries will require

assistance next year yemen leading the pack being in the most dire situation in your in your in your opinion is there any any chance for an improvement in the situation in yemen in the near future. well good morning first and foremost indeed we have drawn the attention of the international community as have our colleagues from the u.n. to the extremely dire situation in which we are in many contexts of the world and yemen as you see leads leads to group i think at the present moment and with talks in sweden we do hope that we manage the international community manages to draw a pathway to or more peaceful evolution in yemen what is certainly true is that humanitarian spy their own cannot fix the situation in which needs to be disease one of

the most dire humanitarian situation we have seen people have been dying not only from the direct attacks and the direct impact of war but in particular also from the destruction of infrastructure from the destruction of hospitals off water systems and i think this is indeed a very dire situation which can only be fixed if a political solution is found and there is a slight. a light at the end of the tunnel maybe with peace talks going on in sweden can you confirm reports that eighty five thousand children have died from starvation in the violence in yemen. well what we certainly know ways that the most vulnerable of the yemeni society and these are children women the elderly. have been particularly exposed to the negative impact that i have described the conflict of destruction of infrastructure

children have been at the forefront also of the those who are the i.c.r.c. has tried to help over the last couple of years. we don't go into speculation of exact figures but it is definitely the group which has suffered the most and which needs most attention in particular food security is a big issue. here on r.t. international we've had various analysts who have described the dire situation in yemen as the biggest manmade human catastrophe in recent times you talk about there being the need for a political solution are humanitarian organizations being prevented from carrying out their work in yemen. not only in yemen but in many contexts often it is a constant challenge to negotiate in neutral and impartial humanitarian space to

have believed children's from all sides agree that actors have access to those most in need disease is a challenge in yemen it is a challenge in many other parts of the world in syria in afghanistan in many contexts in which the i.c.r.c. is working just a reminder that we are in more than fifty active conflicts at the present moment we are delivering humanitarian assistance yemen stands out mentions by its complexities but there is not a singular case in which access security for humanitarian personnel negotiating a neutral humanitarian space is a big issue. moments ago you mentioned syria and afghanistan and how your organization is across more than fifty countries at the moment what are the red cross' priorities and so. right now.

well the priorities in syria definitely is to have access to as many people displaced within syria tools support as good as as ever we can to deliver basic human needs here in assistance in terms of water health services and services. to many within syria are still displaced and we tried to contribute to the stabilize ation of the situation as well as we are also responding to some emergency is still going on because as everybody knows the fighting is not has not come to an end yet so at the present moment we are kind of in emergency mode as well as in trying to respond to. also the needs of those returning to their villages and reconstituting their lives and livelihoods in syria but here again as quick as we do have access in security which is not guaranteed yet over the

whole country in syria to be. as you say there being widespread reports on r.t. international and many other channels frankly about the dire situation of the infrastructure in syria very little clean water no electricity towns and villages just turned into absolute rubble i know the top administration in the past couple of months and cutting off aid to syria is it difficult for the i.c.r.c. to get funding and to continue getting aid across this war zone of syria. relieved to say that with regard at least to human need to hear an assistance we do have still a lot of international support to deliver humanitarian lifesaving assistance into yemen everybody knows that the broader issue of reconstruction. and stop the lies ation and finding a political solution in yemen is of is

a controversial issue was amongst the states but with regard to your many tarion assistance i'm relieved to see that we have still a lot of support and we are able to finance our operation in syria which is by the way the largest operation of i.c.r.c. worldwide so from yemen to syria and now to afghanistan where the u.s. currently. more than twenty eight thousand afghan soldiers have been killed in the last four years alone a war ongoing for seventeen years the red cross voicing much concern about the growing number of civilian casualties in afghanistan what is the i.c.r.c. doing to address this in afghanistan. where the largest operation worldwide where we are active in the whole of the country in all the provinces we have more than eleven

outfits in afghanistan we are responding to people displaced we are responding told populations in need in all parts of the stand but as you'll rightly say we have been worried over the last couple of years to see how much the civilian population but not only the civilian population also as you mentioned the military's are exposed to enormous amounts of casualties we see people. really heavily affected and the i.c.r.c. has one of the most multifaceted humanitarian response program in afghanistan which we try to continue in the future of afghanistan as many other places are a big challenge in terms of having secure access to populations is the place where i.c.r.c. had. the most visible security incidents but i.c.r.c.

is determined to stay in afghanistan. noticeable response and. also to contribute hopefully. this situation which is. really worrying and has been worrying for a couple of years. president of the international committee of the red cross joining us live here on r.t. international thank you so much for your insight today and from all of us here we wish you good luck and your continued efforts for stabilization and aid to some of the most troubled parts of the world peter thank you. thank you very much. a property developer in the u.k. is facing criticism for his latest brochure of an upcoming project concerns were raised after the images of the planned housing development in london fail to show our neighbors the side. reports. we are in hornsey north london mostly residential area about forty five minutes away from central

london why not consider moving to a nice newly built high rise here. take note though if you look this one up on line it would miss a building right next to it this mosque which is obviously right here in reality the property developer has been accused of a slum a full b m after personally airbrushing the mosque out of its marketing photos the dome and the minarets are gone instead replaced with a row of trees in the building is nowhere to be seen what do locals make of all this let's find out there's no mosque in the pictures in the marketing photos so people have been complaining about it a little bit what do you make of it you can't miss the mosque if it's not in the picture it's been left out of the previous and it will be just forgot to put it in if you think they got there. first it's obvious that it's true doesn't know not to take so i know how things work and people who see it in the way i mean

them people. don't need to be visual like. you know would you be offended i wouldn't be offended. by you matching if you were a user of the local mosque you'd not be offended yeah it does upset mean people should be inclusive we shouldn't even give the site as it is so that people will know where they belong and what they are getting into so why would you to move the market a temple or church what does that mean if you're trying to sell some free you want to make it look. so not everyone is going to like a mosque while if you were shopping for an apartment mosque scare you or me personally know various people there were well some were offended by the doctored images others thought it wasn't a big deal the mosque spokesperson said the apparent photoshop is nothing to worry about when we first saw the photo. concern the mosque had been hidden to quickly realize it was a marketing tool the developer of the building has reportedly said the images used

are computer generated to create a visual representation of how the development will look to us they said they won't comment so whether it was a deliberate move or just an innocent marketing tool could be anyone's guess reporting from london and as they say with our. parents in germany are angry about a brochure for kindergartens on how to tackle right wing sentiments the leaflet was produced by a german based foundation the family ministry critics are legit encourages children to spy on parents who are all of a text a close one. it's the season of goodwill to all of. the hill. right there a thought for those on through the phones in checking emails it warn of germany's until racism n.g.o.s received around four hundred fifty eight calls in the first forty eight hours threatening things like terrorist attacks we haven't counted the

exact number of emails but it was around five hundred so what is this all about the organization with the blessing from the german government has produced a brochure for kindergarten teachers and parents designed to tackle right ideology what to do if a child draws swastikas in class and says they do this that what to do if its teacher is active on the far right see these are the types of situations and suggestions on how to deal with them addressed in the sixteen page guide why all the hate against it some of the information has rankled to say the least with far right blogs as well as mainstream conservatives a scenario as described where a kindergarten how to deal with children of parents involved with right to go away is dresses in braids and the boy faces physical challenges and takes part in drills so what advice do you think was given to kindergarten stuff have a face to face with the parents it should be made clear to what extent all thora

tarion in gender stereotype or renting styles limit the many possibilities of children and complicate their development some were ruffled by the advice quiting the wearing of dresses and braids with membership of the far right i find it unbelievable that a taxpayer funded brochure identifies girls wearing braids and clothes as potentially nationalist the family minister should have his booklet recalled and revised as soon as possible the anti immigration alternative for germany party seized on the backlash accusing me and geo of promoting secret police methods the n.g.o.s denying the allegations saying it didn't mean to cast. shadow on how kids interest and also added that the brochure was well received by professionals this is based on true cases trends from long term counseling work which teachers have asked for help dealing with nationalist families on doubted leave the organization behind this brochure and the german family ministry the best of intentions here

however in a country where most people still remember the g.d.r. asking teachers to look out for certain political motivations could prove problematic for all of her off the building. the passing of america's forty first president joe george herbert walker bush has led to an outpouring of all those that respect being paid. and now looks at whether the assessment of his time in office may have been tempered somewhat by the current political climate. so the sun has set on george herbert walker bush the forty first president of the united states there has been understandably an outpouring of grief from his friends and family and many voices in the media pursued a life of extraordinary service to america such a man so thoroughly decent so moderate in his beliefs model of what a public servant should be either it seems that the media is glossing over certain aspects of bush's legacy it follows

a pattern similar to the death of john mccain where the media keeps praise on to an individual and highlights one particular character quality above all else opposition to donald trump publicly contentious relationship between donald trump and george h.w. bush didn't vote for him in two thousand and sixteen it could be said that he thought donald trump had quote a certain ego and then he told you point blank he's a blowhard. he's a blowhard he was an oil tycoon and a cia chief who eventually became president his record wasn't spotless now we all know that donald trump never apologizes well after the united states shot down an iranian airliner and killed two hundred ninety civilians will remember this classic trump asked line that we heard from president bush never apologize for the united states of america ever i don't care what the facts are the media hails the first war on iraq as one of his shining moments as was the case in the one nine hundred

thirty s. we see and set him hussein an aggressive dictator threatening his neighbors now bush compared saddam hussein to at all for hitler he said that the bombs had to fall as a result of the gulf war thousands of civilians die he was also a big supporter of another war that being the war on drugs this this is crack cocaine. seized a few days ago by drug enforcement agents in a park just across the street from the white house well it turns out that the drug enforcement agency actually learned the dealer to the white house so that this point could be made now bush called for harsher penalties lock him up longer prison sentences thirty years later we've got the biggest prison population in the world in the united states but the drug crisis has spiraled out of control h. w. died shortly after the rise of me too and many women came forward at that time saying that he had certain proclivities he reached his hand around and fag to the

group who is it did you know my favorite magician is and said no and he said david copperfield and at that moment i found him grab my behind the former president acknowledged that some of these allegations were true but he said that the quote padding of women's rears was intended to be good natured so american mainstream media has mourn the passing of george herbert walker bush much like it mourns the passing of other former leaders however it seems that american media has a bit of a selective memory especially if you don't like donald trump. r.t. new york. government officials scientists and activists of god but at the twenty fourth annual climate change conference in a bid to find ways to save the planet ok sion of this year's gathering has raised more than a few question. why

am i attending c o p twenty four in cahoots. the use of one's own and natural resources in parties case on coal and basing energy security on them is nobody's conflict with the climate protection and we progress in climate protection. twenty four leaders gathering in council will come from coal miners brass and the opening of the climate change event is i'm

a big front of the eastern european sense of humor but guys this is no time for jokes. for. a university campus in the united states has been plagued by a string of racist notes being sent to students but it transpired that one of the recipients was actually the old. we've decided that we no longer want you on our campus which means you need to leave. it with terrifying students were scared. we just want to make sure we're true values we practice those every single day and that gives us the resilience to deal with these things when they have.

the c.e.o. still we're not going to let it run. people make these stories up they take the voice away from true victims it's a waste of resources it's a waste of energy and it's definitely a waste of emotion in the community. an eighteen year old drake university student was found to be behind four of the racist notes including the one that she sent to herself it's unclear who wrote the fifth note sent it back in november but police are investigating meanwhile the white supremacist group calling itself the road to power has claimed responsibility for the robo calls on campus now the student who sent the hopes that it to herself now faces up to a year in jail we spoke to a t.v.

and radio host. and she says the student is probably just an attention seeker. but we see copycat crimes all the time my background of course is in human behavior and human development and a lot of times one of the fears whenever a crime happens well i can imagine a couple of different motives would have been possible i would think that maybe for attention a lot of people do a lot of crazy things for attention so that could have been part of it and they could have been a political agenda it could have been somebody who wanted to create strife could it perhaps have been this just person just wanted to see what happened if they wrote racially insightful things and try to create division and see if they could start a race riot or who knows who knows what kind of drama the reality is that america is not nearly as divided how many times these sort of you know racial problems that we hear about may or may not have actually been incited you know

obviously what this person did this woman it was extremely harmful it was extremely self-serving whatever her motives for. a woman are from kazakhstan has been named as the country's very own lara croft thanks to our impressive shooting skills i guns as a champion in the sport in a sort of flight instructor she's now been invited to teach chechen leader runs on cut off store has to shoot as well that's what up. it's.

called me and you shooting is not just a passion or a hobby for me it is not their world away a fly.
