our mission is to reassert our sovereignty reform the liberal international order. washington outlines its new vision for the world it questions the relevance of a number of key international organizations and also threatens to scrap a major cold war era you can hear treaty with russia also to come to london for the developers accused of islamophobia after airbrushing from its sales brochure a mosque next to its new apartment block we hear from locals. gets upset mean people should be inclusive he shouldn't even give this a pass it is a beautiful book put it in the pot. and canada arrest the chief financial officer of chinese telecoms giant who's now facing extradition to the us were allegedly violating sanctions on iran the move triggered strong reaction from beijing leavell leaving little hope for a truce in the ongoing u.s.

china trade. and with peace talks on the crisis underway in sweden the president of the red cross international committee outlines the dire humanitarian situation in the country what is certainly true is that human experience by the road cannot fix the situation in which these to be is is indeed a very dire situation which can only be fixed if a political solution is found. welcome as four pm this thursday afternoon here in moscow you watching r.t. international. now washington's threat to pull out of a key nuclear treaty with moscow has deepened the rift between the two sides with the u.s. now we kucing russia of noncompliance with the american administration is also going further questioning the relevance of other international agreements and

organizations. aghast if expects 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 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exists today and as the world exists today doesn't work does it work for all the people of the world the old ways are out of date united nations is useless incompetent the i.m.f. is obsolete european union pointless all these international organizations unions treaties and agreements the only hinder america a tie its hands and cripple its power the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 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 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 presidents from. it is

a 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 i.n.f. treaty was signed in the final years of the cold war production of short and medium range nuclear missiles are prohibited under the pact but the u.s. claims that russia is producing missiles in violation of the cream and a moscow in turn says that washington is threatening its security with bases and missiles located in eastern europe former u.k. army officer charles bridge gave us his take on the situation. 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 concerned

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 your picture can house where in the world and that i suspect is the key to the american decision making here is as indeed the russian government has indicated look in more countries such as china iran possibly 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. property developer in the u.k. is provoked something of a storm over a brochure for one of its new projects because of the planned housing development in london had a neighboring mosque airbrushed out and see children as more. 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 apparently 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 walk 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 bridges and there it will be just what it is and i think they got there. first it's obvious that. doesn't know not to take so i know how things work and people will see it in the way i mean them people

don't need to be visual like sure. you know would you be offended i wouldn't be offended. by you if you were a user of a local mosque you'd not be offended yeah it does upset mean people should be inclusive he shouldn't you should give the state as it is so that people really know where the 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 if you're trying to sell something 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 me personally no but there is 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 photoshop is nothing to worry about when we first saw the photo we were concerned the mosque had been hidden because i realized it was a marketing tool the developer of the building was 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 with our two. chief financial officer a chinese based smartphone giant along with the daughter of the company's founder been arrested by canadian authorities one joe was taken into custody in vancouver on december the first and now faces extradition to the us need the canadian nor u.s. authorities though have revealed the motives behind the arrest however there are reports that the u.s. department of justice is investigating the telecoms company for violating trade sanctions against iran china has reacted strongly to the arrest warning. it's basic rights. we demand the explanation for the detention and the person's immediate release detention without providing any explanation violates the human roots of the

detainee. while the rest is come after what seemed like a truce a trade truce between washington and beijing following a meeting between presidents trump and paying at the g. twenty summit in argentina following the talks trump claimed that a trade deal was in the works and that relations had taken a big leap forward but shortly after he did tweet a cabby at insisting that if an agreement wasn't reached it's important to remember that he is a tariff man that caused stocks to plummet the white house's top economic adviser added to the uncertainty turning in an interview with fox news. i think it's coming ok i was very intrigued that's what give us some details well it hasn't been signed and sealed and delivered yet we're trying to so far has kept fairly quiet about the talks it's calm the ministry released a statement saying it's working on the goshi ations looking for areas where progress can be made the sides have set

a ninety day deadline to reach an agreement we spoke to dr cherry or he's the dean of the jindal school of international affairs and he says that recent events just reflect u.s. fears over being overtaken by chinese technology. but i don't think cheney is and that the good ones you shouldn't be made to be for the worse. going to so many western experience and american corporate heads who are really china and. all over the floor we executive because the chinese going to tell you the kind and can also understand american. any time. because they also have lots of problems with u.s. companies operating on check in the chinese market so all i do is a provocative steps are necessary steps and better of order is part of the you know strategy of behavior money war. is a technological super bowl. administration has confirmed it will

not just suspend but actually completely abandon a proposed fuel tax hike it comes amid fears of further unrest following weeks of nationwide protests that have already cost several lives millions of euros in damage with more on this is shouted because. demands have been growing since these protests started almost three weeks ago and so far many people are not happy saying this is it too little too late let's go back to what's been announced that is now a major new tune from the french government no longer a suspension on the hike tax of six months but actually a complete scrapping of it for the two thousand and nineteen financial year but this comes after weeks of protests including violent protests here in paris let's take a listen to what the french prime minister had to say on wednesday. the government is open to dialogue and has the backing of the majority in parliament and the

government has shown these by removing the tax increase from the twenty nine thousand financial budget it will not be in that budget. mr had originally said all choose day that he would just. suspending the tax so i'd say that most impact shocked people in the french government but many of those purchases as i mentioned saying it's soon late and they are intending to go ahead with the protest on saturday which these a palace has described as being very unlikely to turn in boiling and we also know that the free state police unions has decided to join the yellow vests movement offering it support and cooling for its own front stuff to be taking part in the protest on saturday here in paris and there have been some celebrations some victories for individuals who are happy that they're going to see. tax increase although feeling two thousand and nineteen many people saying the president

president michel is just so out of touch with every day individual people and they moved much much more we've been speaking to one member of the yellow vests movement this is what they have to say. it's a step backwards it shows mccraw and listens to the public only when things like this happen people are angry and the women across the country insults them even policemen are protesting they're also fed up no one listens to them no one gives them opportunities there is no way back to the country needs a new political strategy. well last saturday's protest was one of the most violent protests in paris in decades some people saying we haven't seen anything like it since the making eight hundred sixty eight lloyd's. of the hundred people were injured in that protest and more than four hundred people were arrested as a result of the five incident damage that was being caused to force the city it was

smiling seeing other parts of the protests but paris was the main focus and that's again where it's expected to be this coming saturday but now the yellow best move would say it's ready to back down it's more regular to stop they want to change from they want to bring down the government and they're prepared to stay out on the streets to achieve their goals. ok let's get the thoughts now of political analyst nicola murcutt user based in leon and he's with us now you very welcome the. look we've seen the situation here just over the last day or so where the french government is suspended tax hikes then is abandon them completely are they panicking oh they're really panicking they don't know what to do or the size of these protests which are occurring across france what it whether it be in europe or even on the other french idence is humongous and they haven't seen it coming they should have seen it because we have had not a single showing that this was coming up they didn't see it and now they're

panicking and they don't know what to do they're extremely clumsy as you said the first time they said they would do impose a moratorium they think about it the in the following hours they said they'd stop all of it so they'd be no more hikes so we definitely don't know who's who's driving around snow but they definitely don't know what they are doing with this move come things down do you think it will prevent further demonstrations or violence. no because i think there's a there's a fundamental problem that a lot of these politicians especially mark right you seem to not understand this is not just about tax increases this is a problem within the french society there are many problems which are not tackled by this government which had not been tackled by previous governments which are very entrenched in the french society today we've got huge problems concerning crime rates concerning unemployment taxes as one of the elements migration is one of the elements which the current government is not tackling these problems together which have which are which are all problems i mean just she's macro as if

he's he's here and this is his heritage but he hasn't sat on them and today the yellowjackets in france which we don't want any of this is not just about taxes we want to change the french society we want a new religion for france and we want to believe in france but definitely we want to get rid of the politicians who brought us here and that is the fundamental message out of these back and jackets and the reason why it's going to continue is because it's not just changing want to ask you just going to change anything the french people today are expressing that they want fundamental change within the french society to think there's a danger that this latest move by the government might actually encourage more violent protests because people will say this is i'll look at works we get out in the streets and cause problems it forces the government to backtrack. of course and that's that's a legacy in france you have to get violent if you want things change so that's but this is also of course getting a positive message out people think about bringing out more get out of our own system to change even more so yes there will be more violence and also i do think

that as the current government is extremely clumsy they're trying to build on this violence to show that it is a violent movement and that's not working we've seen these past days mainstream media showing only videos pictures of the violence and unrest in major french cities when ninety percent of these demonstrations across france are non violence not of the people are just going out blocking. attacks facilities there are they're blocking rather making highways free for a lot of people the mainstream media is not showing this but the french people and the everyday basis are seeing that it's a real peaceful movement they're seeing this so there's such a discrepancy between what we're seeing on mainstream media and what's happening on that the french don't believe in this and when they see that macro and and philip the prime minister trying to use the violence to preach radio address as of right they get there even more sick of this message because they know it's not true and know that this is not this is going to happen that this is not and i would say the d.n.a. of the yellow jacket movement in the french know that yeah i mean it's not just the public either i mean politicians are angry to say there are reports are there three

parties are going to table of eight have no confidence in the government i think we can just play quickly what one of their representatives had to say about this let's just listen. put a four digit is on it in the terms of the force of the yellow vests was demonstrated by the government took a small step back but this is a maneuver he needs to be understood they postponed the decision to raise or not raise taxes for the period after the elections the european parliament however the universe clearly expressed their position they do not want to fuel price hike and their rights and then the problem of the high cost of living itself will not be solved people have an empty fridge now not after six months but a lot of discontent there in the french parliament say what are the chances of in a confidence vote you think well it can't go through because mark rudd today he's got he's got more of the majority of part of people in the parliament work i mean who are in his political party so there's no chance it will go through i just think that now all the political parties are trying to show to take their distance from

that rock i'm going to piggy back on the movement which by the way don't forget is a grassroots movement there are no political parties behind this movement and they're trying some of them and we can understand that because that's what is they're trying to try to get use the movement to show that they are a good opposition tomorrow we're seeing all opposition parties doing doing this today which is something i was here which is more more or less normal but there's no chance that that that that vote will go through in the french parliament today ok nick great to talk to the live there that was nicola political analyst there based only on in france thank you for your time thank you. mr peace talks on the yemeni crisis today we'll have more on that person look at other stories take just after this break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development only really. i don't see how that strategy will be ready. to sit down and

talk. welcome back now peace talks on the yemeni crisis are taking place in sweden today and the meeting aims to emily four years of war we spoke to the president of the international committee of the red cross and he says that both humanitarian and political measures should be taken to resolve the situation 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 humanitarian spied their own can 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 guys 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. but yemen isn't the only country in the region suffering a humanitarian catastrophe at the moment because in syria over thirteen million people are in need with nearly six million internally displaced and then in afghanistan the u.n. says over six million people are in need there a third of them a children the red cross president again says that the organization is doing what it can in both countries. priorities in syria definitely. have access to as many people displaced within syria tools support.

as ever we can to deliver a basic human need here in assistance in terms of water or health services services. to many within syria are still displaced and we tried to contribute to destabilize ation. our 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 these placed we are responding to populations in need in all parts of the star we have been worried over the last couple of years to see how much the civilian population but not only the civilian population also militaries 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 the response program in afghanistan which we try to continue in the future of. our guidebook for kindergartens in germany about how to tackle right wing sentiment has provoked the wrath of parents because they claim it only encourages children to spy on them peter oliver has more the story. it's the season of goodwill to all of . the hill. right there a thought for those on throwing the phones and checking emails at wall 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 hadn'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 it's 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 the far right the 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 and gender stereotypes are renting styles limit the many possibilities of children and complicate their development some were ruffled by the advice quoting

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. 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 undoubtedly the organization behind this brochure the two women found the ministry the best of intentions here however in a country where most people still remember the. teach is to look out for political motivations could prove problematic piece for all of her all. the name
