which can only be fixed if a political. hello there she is gone five pm here in moscow you're 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. accusing russia of noncompliance but the american administration is also going further questioning the relevance of other international agreements and organizations as noted gas the f. 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exists today and as the world exists today doesn't work does it work for all the people of the world the old ways are out of date united nations is useless incompetent the i.m.f. is obsolete european union pointless all these international organizations unions treaties and agreements they only hinder america piet's hands and cripple its power the logic is sound when we all be better off if we just let america rule american tends to lead now and always 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 a new longer know what's good for them america is good for them this is what president trump is doing he is. turning 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 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. does claim that russia is producing missiles in violation of the dream 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 schumer bridge gave us his take on the situation you've got this situation here where nato seems to be advocating one position on the part in support of the u.s. at the moment but many of its member states have not just privately but publicly raised their concern that this is part of the arms control mechanism breaking down and that this will of course hold in a new arms race of course the united states isn't just looking at europe it's looking elsewhere in the world and that i suspect is the key to what the american decision making here is as indeed the russian government has indicated that they're

looking more at countries such as china 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. our property developer in the u.k. is provoked something of a storm over a brochure for one of its new projects because images of the planned housing development in london had a neighboring mosque airbrushed out and see chalk and as more details. 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 full b m 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 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. in the picture it's been left out of the previous and there it will be just forgot to put it in i think that part of the. first it's obvious that it's a country 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 or you 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 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 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 photoshop is nothing to worry about when we first saw the photo we can see. the mask had been hidden 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. where there are. now the chief financial officer of

chinese space smartphone giant huawei along with the daughter of the company's founder has been arrested by canadian authorities meaning one joe was taken into custody in vancouver on december the first and now faces extradition to the us neither the canadian nor the u.s. authorities 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 violates basic rights. we demanded explanation for the detention and the person's immediate release detention without providing any explanation violates the human roots of the detainee. when the arrest comes after what seemed like a trade truce between washington and beijing following a meeting between presidents trump and paying at the g. twenty summit in argentina recently or following those talks from 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 all of that insisting that if an agreement wasn't reached it's important to remember that he is a tariff man and that caused the stocks to plummet well the white house's top economic adviser added to the uncertainty too with an interview with fox news i think it's coming ok i want to reiterate all this what give us some details well it hasn't been signed and sealed and delivered yet. well china so far has kept fairly quiet about the talks its commerce ministry released a statement saying it is working on the goshi ations and looking for areas where progress can be made the sides have set a ninety day deadline to reach an agreement let's talk about all of this with d'ambrosio he's the c.e.o. for research with us specialize in a stock market analysis and that's where we'll start with you a berth so what's been the impact on the markets so far to this news about the

arrest has it been dramatic who of course it's something that is more pressure on the situation which is delegate. words are still ongoing look withstanding the optimism after of the g. twenty talks in which you know this is bullshit falling all the time as was mentioned but right after the rally monday had they got up on the stock market everything came back to reality and we have we have the plunge which is quite significant because it hundred points on the dow jones for something you can is not a dog so it's a very serious disease and you will get a lot and just pressure. why do you think we've seen that sudden drop or what's been the thinking behind it because as you said we saw the g. twenty and people were quite positive after that so why the sudden change of heart . well i have to say not everybody was quite positive in our reports right after

the event we have that what was what came of age of twenty was not enough to justify any kind of optimism because it was just a warning postponing some tariffs on the basis that a possible deal could be worked out but there is we have seen so far this is not the case also because somebody is ration and the president himself as always been very tough on this and from a political point of view we cannot afford to back up and if the us doesn't back up i don't see actually where this will should could be in the other interview i had with you on the international they said that there are only a good number of of the bad news that the market and the color we can't bear we were pulled that number way then now i have afraid we we also passed the bar how much does the market pay attention to trump's tweets i just ask that because he's

quite hard to predict is an eternity so i mean to start with presumably they did react quite quickly but of people taking time now to digest what's said and see perhaps if he changes his mind. well i would put the situation from a different point of view did actually this kind of reaction to tweets or little aeration it's easy definitely to high and it's let's say it gives us a hint of good on the real situation especially in the financial markets if the financial markets are desperately seeking but my opinion something that could spark a little boost you know what we call it this bunker christmas for ali and are a basing these decisions on their own wheels which are actually not supported by any fundamental change so when they're different and all those that knew was coming even a tweet they impact could be severe and that's really a sign of the market not being at the bottom not being out there so just

a prediction them for the future we take a six month span or so what are your predictions and expectations for the markets well you know we're rebels i've been very clear of this believe the. forecasts that there's been published by the world bank will be a see the they do predict a slowdown to growth but i think i'm afraid they will have to revise this to the downside quarter by quarter as they have done in the past in similar situations because they're you know we come from a more growth around of three point one percent which is look at going down the next in the fear but i would see six months or a possible drop door of even a half a point after point is it once a this is my forecast ok rebirth a good to talk you are going to leave it there that was the birthday of c.e.o. of research and analysis ltd thank you very much thank you.

had he sweden is hosting peace talks today on the yemeni crisis we'll have a look at that in more detail plus the stories just after this break. almost seemed wrong. but old rules just don't hold. any new old belief yet to shape out this day become agitated and in danger many 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 as diminished because

all this money printing that's going on in the measure they can tell in fact that money printing in rich as the people on avenue for in paris and shows little is a in paris and those people who are working and doing blue collar jobs their personal power is eroded and so they accordion pamela anderson figured out that this is a structurally violent system that they need to address with a quid pro quo violence or violence. but again now fresh student protests erupted in paris today shortly after the government gave into demands of the yellow vests protesters let's get more details from charlotte to be used in the french capital i think covering the events for us i think we go live to a now. yes good afternoon to charlotte we understand that you're

a student protest this comes obviously shortly after the government french government announced it is going to abandon the fuel hike obviously a lot of concern about many issues there in france at the moment. hi guys i'm trying to call you because it's more when i i think we'll come back to charlotte obviously she hasn't got a connection with us for the moment but hopefully we'll establish one with her in a couple of minutes time. in the meantime peace talks on the mini crisis are taking place in sweden today a meeting designed to end nearly four years of war we spoke to the president of the international committee of the red cross he says 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 and the international community manages

to draw a pathway to or more peaceful revolution in yemen what is certainly true is that humanitarian spy 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 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 the moment because in syria over thirteen million people are in need with six million internally displaced and then in afghanistan the u.n.

says also over six million people are in need there a third of them are children red cross president again says the organization is doing what it can him both countries 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 destabilize ation. one of our largest operation worldwide where we are active in the whole of the country in all the provinces we have morden. outfits in afghanistan we are responding to people displaced 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 in 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 that actually only encourages children to spy on them peter oliver takes up the story. it's the season of goodwill to all of. this. right there a thought for those on throwing the phones in checking emails. 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 that what to do if it's teacher is active on the far right see these are the types of situations aren't 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 is described where a kindergarten have to deal with children of parents involved with the far right the go away as 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 ngo denied the allegations saying it didn't mean to cast. no one how kids' interest and also that the brochure was well received by professionals this is based on true cases drawn from long term counseling work which teachers have asked for help dealing with national families on down through the organization behind this

brochure the gym and family ministry are the best of intentions here however in a country where most people still remember the asking teachers to look out for political motivations could prove problematic piece for all of our off the building . now the passing of america's forty first president george bush sr has led to an outpouring of honest and respect to being paid but. 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 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 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 i'll never apologize for the united states of america ever i don't care what the facts are now 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 instead a moose saying 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 lowered 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 did you know who my favorite magician is and we all said no move and he said david copperfield and at that moment i felt 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 a little up and artsy new york thanks to you company this evening we're back again with more for you just about and. move.

phone while controls a part of the book sells millions of copies and dozens of languages and must have picked up on something that's both current and eternal cultural specific and universal that's a huge challenge to all one how does one do it with every book for. all to discuss that i'm joined by best selling a region all sorry. it's great to talk to thank you very much for being available thank you. i've never heard anyone. question why would russia produce for the state of scale why would an american producer mark twain but i know i know a lot of book lovers who are puzzled by why norway such a safe such are put together a country with a prolific and very dark crime novelist as yourself do you have an answer to that. no not really. sure if your nationality is.

is that important no longer i think that 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 our cultural background so you know i remember when i was travelling when i was around 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 go through references i find nowadays it's meeting young people anywhere in the world we have read the same books listen to the same music see in the same movies yes but your books i think are also very in the region i mean there are lots of graphical references you write them about your own community and i think any great book is in some way a reflection on the writer.
