just fifty. our mission is to reassert. a liberal in the white house question of a number of international bodies. nuclear agreement with russia.

by the move. people should be inclusive he should give this. we speak to the president. which can only be fixed.

welcome to the program this is. washington's threat to the nuclear treaty with. the rift between the two sides with the u.s. accusing. the american administration is going even further questioning the key international agreements. correspondent but. it is time for change. for the old ways to die for a new undisputed leader a new american world. order our mission is to reassert our sovereignty reform the liberal international order the central question that we face is that is the question of whether the system as currently configured as it exists today and as the world is this today doesn't work doesn't work for all the people of the world

the old ways out of date united nations is useless incompetent the i.m.f. is obsolete european union pointless all these international organizations unions treaties and agreements they only hinder america tire its hands and cripple its power the logic is sound when we all be better off if we just had america rule american tends to lead now and always point in case the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty russia is violating it says america others aren't 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 and the middle east we have to be responsive to their terms international democracy has failed alliances have failed asians 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 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 and medium range nuclear missiles are prohibited under the pact now the u.s. says russia is producing missiles in violation of the agreement while moscow claims washington is threatening its security with military bases and missile silos in eastern europe so we discussed the spat with former u.k. army officer charles schubert age you've got this situation here where nato seems to be advocating one position in support of the u.s. at the moment but many of its member states are not just privately but publicly raise their concern that this is part of the arms control mechanism breaking down and that this will of course held in a new arms race of course the united states isn't just looking at europe it's looking at house when the world and that i suspect is the key to the american decision making here is as indeed the russian government has indicated that they're looking more at countries such as china and iran possibly that are developing such systems that already have systems in place that would be bad for america and russia

to have because of the limitations on the range. of property developer in the u.k. is facing some criticism for its latest brochure of an upcoming project concerns were raised after the images of the planned housing development in london fail to show a mosque that neighbors the site ought to use and associate churkin attacks on. 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 the building right next to it this mosque which is obviously right here in reality the property developer has been accused of a slum a phobia after probably 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 most. in the picture it's been left out of the previous and there it will be just forgot to put it in i think they got there. first and i think it's obvious that it's a country who 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 and 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 really know where they belong and what they are getting in for so why would you to move them are going to temple or church what does that mean that you're trying to so 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 off you personally know various people there were well some were offended by the doctored images others start it wasn't a big deal the mosque spokesperson said the apparent photo shop is nothing to worry about when we first saw the photo. concern the mosque had been hidden bequeath he realized 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 if you're going out with our. parents and germany are angry about a brochure for kindergarten on how to tackle rightwing sentiments the leaflet was produced by a german based foundation and the family ministry critics are legit encourages

children to spy on their parents that are all of a texan. it's the season of goodwill to all of. this. right there a thought for those on throwing the phones and checking emails it warn of germany's until racism n.g.o.s received around four hundred fifty hate 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 at home what to do if a 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 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 king. god and stuff have a face to face with the parents it should be made clear to what extent all thora tarion in gender stereotypes are renting styles limit the many possibilities of children and complicate their development some were ruffled by the advice equating 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

ngo denied the allegations saying it didn't mean to cast a 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 with 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 peter all of her off the building. peace talks on the yemeni crisis are taking place in sweden on thursday a meeting is aimed at ending nearly four years of war in the region a war initially started by a saudi led military incursion we spoke to the president of the international committee of the red cross peter. he says both humanitarian and political measures

are seriously needed to try and solve the crisis. 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 revolution in yemen what is certainly true is that human need to reince by their own cannot fix the situation in which yemenis 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 of 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. yemen isn't the only region suffering a humanitarian crisis in syria for example over thirteen million people are in need with six million internally displaced and over to afghanistan and the u.n. says over six million people are in need and a third of them are children a red cross president. says the organization is doing everything it can in both countries priorities in syria definitely to have access to as many people displaced within syria tool support as good as as ever we can to deliver basic human needs here in assistance in terms of water or health services services. many within syria are still displaced and we tried to contribute to destabilize ation. one of our largest operation worldwide where we are active in the whole of the country in all the provinces we

have more didn't. people displaced we are. in need. we have. to see how much. enormous amounts of casualties we see people. really heavy early. in the response.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. very dramatic. only. exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down. seems wrong. to me. to shape. the answer. and engage with. the trail. when some find themselves worlds apart. she says to look for common ground.

here in moscow four people have reportedly been killed and several injured in a car bombing in the south east an iranian port city of. local media say women and children are among those injured in the explosion happened near the local police headquarters which may have been the intended target of what's thought to have been a suicide attack some reports say that gunshots were also heard i understand the security forces are currently right now at the scene of the incident. the passing of america's first president george walker bush has led to an

outpouring of respect being paid. now looks at whether the assessment of his time in office may have been tempted 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 however 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 that 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 them 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 sad to the group who is it did you know my favorite magician is and said no move 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 mopp and r.t. new york. 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 also in fact the. we've decided that we no longer want you on our campus which means you need to leave. it with terrifying students who are scared. we just want to make sure. we practice those every single day. to deal with these things when they have. the c.e.o.

still has a little room. 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 human emotion in the community. an eighteen year old drug university student was found to be behind for all the right notes including the one she sent to herself it's unclear who wrote the back in november but the police are still investigating. the student who sent the hoax letter to us now faces up to a year in prison and we spoke to t.v. and radio host you know luda she says this student is perhaps just an attention seeker. 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 it 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 from kazakhstan has been named the

hello and welcome to well it's a part of the book sells millions of copies and dozens of languages that must have picked up on something that's both current and eternal cultural specific and universal that's a huge charge to all wants but how does one do it with every book for here is a noun well to discuss that i'm now joined by bestselling the region all three. it's great to talk to i thank you very much for being available and you now. i've

never heard anyone question why would russia produce for the state of scale why would an american produce mark twain but i know i know a lot of book lovers who are puzzled by why norway such as say such or put together a country with a prolific and very dark. list as yourselves you have an answer to that. no not really. sure. if your nationality is. is that important i think we more to do with the extent i think we share a cultural references cultural even cultural background because culture has become such an important part of well i would cultural so you know i remember when i was travelling when i was running nineteen i would spend all my money going to. south

america and i would meet people that it was actually a bit hard to communicate with. because we didn't shared through references i find nowadays it's meeting young people anywhere in the world we have read the same books listen. it is a music scenes in movies yes but your books i think are also very in the region i mean there are lots of at least your graphical references you write them about your own community and i think any great book is in some way a reflection on the writer's personality his national and cultural experience why do you think your books as so universal. i actually think because i write it's local people are getting q. is. writers who doesn't necessarily come from the country i trust my readers trust through imagination and intelligence so so i can just focus on writing about all slow about the people i know about the things that i'm interested in and just trust

that they will. read the subtext i mean if you if you if you drop in on any conversation you who you will. quickly get what it's about you may even be the cutest bubble to talk involved. in with the real feel in the blank spaces that. code through distance now besides now i heard you say that the year how they're perfectly cloudless in their region child will arrive before your father revealed the biggest drama of his life his collaboration and we are going to announce what was so shocking to you about. i think it was it was the fact that i grew up hearing the stories from my mother's side of the family who was in the resistance movement and who were active my roads were active fighting the nazis

and and so it was.
