was. presented to. me and. that's what i'm. at the. headline stories and this british prime minister. argument made growing opposition to her. plan. the french president needs political leaders as he prepares to break his silence on

some of the country's most violent protests indicates the number of use. of social media for fuel in the rest. meanwhile the french foreign minister. not to interfere after the u.s. president tweets. this claiming they were chanting for him people at the rally really picking trump is rich a billionaire and just like micro for me he's not a politician trump represents the very worst of our own president. young boy whose devotion to his football hero saw him take that trip of a lifetime. then face taliban threats to his family back home.

iran. the clock across the world this is our t international from the team and myself you know neal hello and welcome we begin this hour with news from westminster where it looks like the british prime minister is set to postpone choose these crucial parliamentary vote on her brakes at plum opposition leader jeremy corrigan has joined on the name cabinet sources saying trees a may is not going to risk water looked increasingly like a humiliating defeat let's cross live to london to get the latest updates from our correspondent polly polly i do not envy a journalist westminster today details seemingly changing by the hour or are they what do we know. it's still it's quite a chaotic situation really it's not been officially confirmed but it is pretty much the world's worst kept secret at the moment that that vote that parliamentary vote on to resume a's briggs's deal has been postponed she's going to be making an

official statement about it in the house of commons in just over an hour's time and it was apparently decided in a ministerial emergency ministerial phone call earlier on today whatever she does try to explain it all away with it doesn't look good the deal that she's putting forward always she was meant to put before parliament is so controversial and extraordinary in the sense that it has managed to unite politicians of all stripes against it because they say a lot of them say it leaves the u.k. in a potentially so-called frozen to exit where it would be too closely aligned with brussels because of this issue with the irish backstop that could become indefinite and ultimately that it puts the u.k. in a weaker negotiating position and this fear has been really from last week that to resume a was going to lose this vote and by a landslide it seems she's also lost the support of the d u p in ireland and

that's the party propping up her minority government and ministers had reportedly been trying to persuade her to move this vote as early as last week which would have looked bad but not quite as bad as moving it at the eleventh hour as she is it expected to do so now a lot of commentators commentators and commentary from her own parties saying that moving it is a defeat of sorts already and also some of her own ministers the few loyalist ministers she has left have been left quite embarrassed because even as late as this morning they were assuring that this vote was very much on take a listen be prepared to leave the european union we want to ensure that we do so in an orderly way and the withdrawal agreement which will be vigilant gives us an opportunity to leave the european union. so a little embarrassing for the politicians that have been pushing the idea that the

vote was going ahead two hours later we have this remarkable and crucially to all those that are saying well she should just go to back to brussels and negotiate a better deal and bring that before parliament well the e.u. has reiterated today that this deal is not up for renegotiation take a listen to the message from brussels we have an agreement on the table which was and tourist by the european council in its article fifty four meant on the twenty fifth of november as presidential consent this is the best and only deal possible we will not renegotiate so a lot of people very keen to have from the prime minister when she addresses parliament in just over an hour's time as to what her fall back plan is now what the next step is going to be when that vote is going to be rescheduled for but a lot of people saying now that the prime minister is running out of options and

will she be going to brussels for new negotiations a lot of questions polly both thanks so much for bringing us up to date. ok moving across the channel of the french president is meeting with the country's political elites and union chief so for almost four weeks of nationwide protests by the yellow vest movement. parts of porous were left strewn with burned cars shattered glass and rubber bullets and what was the worst rioting seen in the city in over a decade trying to do been skee talks us through the latest. the french finance minister who's described these protests that have been going on now for the last four weekends is being an economic catastrophe with france with french economic growth being reduced boy zero point one percent a result of them why we've been describing these protests as being a spontaneous social need when two of the last three weeks there is invite something deeper behind it it's social media mainstream media outlets now

suggesting that facebook algorithms could be to blame for spreading these protests on twitter yes those pesky russian boats they're at it again with some two hundred accounts retreating or tweeting one thousand six hundred times a day to put in context it's all never ridge eight tweets so retreats per account on saturday i think i tweeted at least twelve times so it's not a huge amount but the french authorities have said that they are launching an investigation in to this alleged interfering baju russia once again but they said that they won't speculate as to the results of that until that investigation is ended that's according to the foreign minister who's also taken out to hit out against donald trump after he sent this tweet on saturday the paris agreement isn't working out so well for paris protests and riots all over french people do not want

to pay large sums of money much to third world countries that are questionably run in order to maybe protect the environment chanting we want trump love france i am telling donald trump the president of the republic also told him we do not take part in america's debate leave our nation out of the total trump say that it's we the people on the streets of wrong i mean paris which own thing we won't trump well we didn't hear anything such like that but we decided to use the protesters if they did indeed want. you could live with. the french one revolution they don't want mccrone they want him and the french government to resign. no i don't want all my it's dangerous i'm not sure who's worse trump is rich a billionaire and just like macro for me he's not a politician no one in france would have voted for trump for us trump represents the very worst of our own president we want. you put in france

some feel. about equality and we have balance system something like that. we have a king and we don't want a king anymore it seems the protesters don't want trump nor do they want. many will be waiting with bated breath to see what the president will say to the country this evening the protests continuing today in france and yellow vests said they will be out in force this weekend they describing as marked by. ok let's get some insights on this now and go live to brussels and pierre among you well tom on geo political commentator and guest of the program good to have you with us just a thought when i'm reading this the french foreign minister has told dollar trump to stay arder french politics saying leave our nation be but when it comes to to

protest in other countries like in a run fronts what itself quick to condemn the measures taken against protesters is part is not doing the same thing a strong. yes that's right it does being a part of the west foreign policies to infringe on sovereignty and on of all nations and. of course when various you've criticized for from abroad very large is about the reverse the critics of it do another countries the use of a countries where criticize the fall country for same and france because of french instability that's a moment yeah it can be a dangerous game counted we see. the media mainstream media mainly seizing on claims that russian trolls are to blame for what's being seen in france let's

listen together to what c.n.n. had to say there's been suggestions that bad actors are stirring up this part. but on the social media invaders it doesn't surprise you that russia is getting the finger of blame pointed out again. yes. actually. a pattern of western foreign policies to blame russia on their own internal problems on their own fate or in foreign policy but also all we are in a new geopolitical world of. communication wall between major powers and russia is used us as a scapegoat invest wall in every event in the west beats donald trump election bragg's the turmoil in french politics.

they use the user russia as a scapegoat to to blame for your own problems but varies all saw a strategy from the anglo saxons because or this information obvious accusation comes from british media and it is a related to british your political interest since we are in the process of bragg's it they have an interest in blaming russia and making a new. enemy of of the west russia to evaluate their own isolation and all sought to position themselves to reinforce failed geopolitical position an us versus defender of the west is it is that working do you think that the french public believe russia is to blame for

all that. no nobody believes about the job politician are following a lot of a different debates on foreign policy we've been friends and whatever. board you card parties. or opposition parties you can see they don't believe but on most of the french public don't believe the main street mainstream media anymore in france this is why many of your information from social networks are tentative sources of information but vis a vis pattern of always accusing russia is laughable and more and more people are just find this ridiculous. is working no less a misuse of faith strategy here among you all political commentator speaking to us

from brussels thank you for your time and your thoughts this hour. to another story getting a lot of traction today a young afghan boy devoted fan of football star leonel messi has been forced to flee his home for the second time after threats from the taliban the group initially confronted the seven year old after a picture of him in a homemade messy jersey made from a plastic bag went viral on the little boy's family and i fear for their lives once more. just. one of the few minutes going on with you but. i didn't.

are. you and i see. the cash and it's still. just in the slot machine should. i i.

think that. i and i would bet against him becoming a star himself one day more news on r.t. international right after this. make this manufactured sensitive to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the fine merry go round be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. room.

to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. wanted. to go right to the press this is what before three of them can't be good. interested always in the water. seventeen minutes into the program welcome back just as effectively by chinese telly come quick while away on a number of other chinese companies from obtaining government contracts japanese ministries the armed forces are being given guidelines prohibiting them from buying

any equipment produced by those firms tokio ses it's to prevent sense of information from being leaked the decision come on the heels of the arrest of why waste chief financial officer the daughter of the telecom giants find her income of it at the request of the u.s. washington accuses her of violating american sanctions imposed on iran six or extradition. jews. arrest increased rate on u.s. china relations just as there was hope of a thaw with donald trump and she's in pain of being a trade war truce b a g twenty in argentina last month china's foreign ministry has warned the u.s. of consequences of may is not ready. to go to war over the weekend the vice foreign minister summoned both the canadians and the u.s. ambassador make clear opposition over the issue that we hope that the governments of the two states take this seriously as for what the severe consequences will be

but the voice foreign minister warned off when meeting with the canadian ambassador i can tell you that it depends on the canadian side it's so. different expert view on this let's bring in joseph chang hong kong based political scientist welcome to you i suppose we should start with the timing of this josef do you think it's just a coincidence japan's imposed these rules no or does it look to you more like a concerted effort to shoot down while away. it appears to be a concerted effort obviously we know that a since twenty fourteen their american government has been warning the corporations and agencies in the united states not to use wall where you chrisman because this is considered a security risk and we see that the british telecom has also pratchett to

praise wall where you put mn in the coming two years and now we see japan and also new season trying to avoid using wall where and so this apparently is a concerted uni shitted and promoted by the united states to exert pressure on china to make sure that it respects intellectual property rights and want to force foreign corporations doing business in china to transfer technology to china how do you expect beijing to react to this will there be repercussions for tokyo. i don't think so because much will depend on the progress in the sino american negotiations on straight issue was and china certainly hopes and the agreement can be reached within the ninety day cease fire and during this

time. china is unlikely to create more enemies and therefore it is it is unlikely to ascension again the pan or the you and chinese leaders obviously have been trying hard to cultivate their plan and do you do you prevent and you know ponce money. just to get your view on the events of a few days ago those accusations brought against wild ways chief financial officer by the us your thoughts on that because in the u.s. while way it's generally seen as an extension of the chinese government as an aside to the uk do you think she will ultimately be extradited. we don't know it is very convenient of coals for the can either go government to say that the case has gone to the judiciary and certain the respect. that you dependents of the

judiciary and the will be up to the court in canada to decide the lady will be extradited to the united states not the general speculation is that in the past decade american intelligence poppy has been collecting information on the activities of chinese corporations id's cases being used to exert pressure on china in the trade and globalization. while always an obsolete but a myth it's a telecommunications giant could this impact on the markets in asia and indeed worldwide. certainly so the united states trying to promote a sort of boy caught in the wall way and also trying to discredit the inmate so while why there will be some impact that we own no way is one of the leading the

firm in china and it is especially given the important task of developing the technology which is seen to be crucial you need the competition for soup you are already in the signs and coming on the do you feel you know future decades in your company in design or are going to competition sure joseph thank you so much for your take this hour hong kong based political scientist joseph chang live on the program. for this return to the u.k. no for a developing story there is unger among british opposition labor politicians following revelations of a u.k. government funded think tank let an online smear campaign against their party. these revelations that a scotland based organization dubbed the integrity of an initiative that is actually aimed at tackling russian descent from a nation has been using its official twitter account to attack opposition party leader jeremy corbyn as well as other labor party members to the tune of no less

than over two million pounds of foreign office cash and these revelations have certainly created quite a scandal here in westminster and have sent the labor party fuming this comes following reports featuring quote explosives week documents passed on to the sunday mail now some of those tweets include language such as calling jeremy corbyn quote a useful idiot with open visceral anti western news and that helped the kremlin cause plus unlike galloway corben does not scream conspiracy he implies it as well as really other statements that have basically have seen members of the labor party now say we're not going to have any of this it is simply outrageous that they clearly misnamed integrity initiative funded by the foreign office to the tune of two point twenty five million pounds over the past two years has routinely been

using twitter feed to disseminate personal attacks and smear against the leader of the opposition the labor party and labor officials. what the hell is going on i tabled a parliamentary question recently and discovered the foreign office has given two million pounds of public money to a shady organization that's indulging in black propaganda against jeremy koeppen and the labor party if it is true that there is a deep state taxpayer funded to operation against our party it is totally unacceptable and to next one nation plus an inquiry must be conducted to mediately previously the foreign office had confirmed funding the integrity initiative with over one million and nine hundred thousand pounds in this financial year as well as two hundred ninety six thousand pounds in the previous financial year and we know that now the foreign office has launched an investigation following these latest

revelations saying that any kind of domestic involvement in politics would be condemned this is what the foreign office minister alan duncan had to say i don't know the facts but if there is any kind of organization for which we are paying which is involved in domestic politics in that way i would totally condemn it well we've also reached out to the foreign office for any further detail statements and we'll certainly update this report if those come in on us to see a trip to live from the british capital ok on a busy monday don't miss a jot of today's big developments by tracking our twitter page updates quite literally by the minute so use it. to.

choose to look for common ground. i've been saying the numbers means matter of us is over twenty trillion dollars and . more than ten dollars each if eighty five percent of global wealth you loan to the rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent for a year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars. but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remember one one doesn't show you can't afford to miss the one and only.
