but they can come out of the crisis. you know world of big partisan lot and conspiracies it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. the predatory practices pursued by china and russia owes a significant threat to u.s. national security interests washington unveils a new policy in africa and the method to counter russia and china's growing influence there it's all part of its america plan also to come.

seventeen palestinians reportedly injured in the latest friday demonstrations in the west bank known as the day of rage which called for the return of historic land from israel and the italian government schools into an embarrassing turn over its high spending budget plans in a bid to avoid sanctions critics cry double standards towards europe which rather stand since the french plans in the plans. for the welcome seven pm here in moscow you watching international. america's national security adviser has criticized the activities of russia and china in africa john bolton is unveiling a new u.s. policy for the continent. across the continent russia advances its political and

economic relationships with little regard to the rule of law or accountable and transparent governance it continues to sell arms and energy in exchange for votes at the united nations china uses bribes opaque agreements and the strategic use of debt to hold states in africa captive to beijing's wishes and demands so america am very critical of russia and china but as modern jazz they have no reports the policies of the us in africa haven't always worked that so well. this regarding that it reads more like a declaration of war than a strategy and this plan is for the good of the africa promises john bolton this coming from a guy whose boss trump infamously referred to several african nations as something that i can't mention on there the predatory practices pursued by china and russia stunt economic growth in africa threaten the financial independence of african

nations and pose a significant threat to u.s. national security interest its interest in logic so when china or russia or someone else you don't like lends an african nation money that's debt colonialism almost financial slavery when america does it it's investment for africa's own good but if mentioning is that russia's trade with the continent pales into insignificance when compared to the us or china look at this rely on this highway hydro power station all built with chinese investment beijing is raising entire cities with more to come china is willing to provide now the sixty billion dollars in support of africa to government assistance investment and financing the financial institutions and enterprises the phrase actions speak louder than words

is entirely a political here the chinese leader xi jinping has visited africa nine times during his tenure trump once sent his wife but what the united states might lack in tact it more than makes up with guns american troops are stationed in fifty out of fifty four african nations it has thirty four military sites thousands and thousands of soldiers across the entire continent and a long history of military interventions china has. one base in djibouti russia has none american troops are there for africans own good washington would say speaking of which remember the old chinese and russian money that had american money good thing well it turns out not so much our new foreign assistance strategy will ensure that all us foreign aid in every corner of the globe vance's u.s.

interest countries that repeatedly vote against the united states in international forums or take actions counter to u.s. interest should not receive generous american foreign aid john bolton they does and gentleman man who unveiled america's new africa plan so much for financial independence africans good luck. now the news palestinians in the gaza strip and west bank today have been holding friday protests known as the day of rage demanding the return of territories in israel. i. was.

seventeen palestinians have reportedly been injured in clashes with israeli soldiers israel says that its actions were in self-defense the palestinian demonstrations followed rallies by hardline jewish protesters in west bank settlements where they clashed with police and demanded the closure of a major major way to palestinian traffic tensions are high and after the killing of two i.d.f. soldiers in the settlement in the palestinian city of ramallah on thursday. well the israeli military has launched a manhunt in the west bank for the killer of those two soldiers checkpoints and roadblocks have been set up throughout ramallah israeli forces say that they are conducting searches in the area and will be operating there for the forseeable future. my colleague madeira to discuss the recent escalation with stein he's the head of the euro asian jewish congress starting with the situation in palestine

area want israel do further avoid escalation of violence in ramallah israel tries to do its best to avoid this kind of escalation but israel's duty is for us the wall to protect our citizens it is totally unacceptable that israeli civilian woman pregnant woman can be attacked at the bus the should do you think however you describe a terrible situation but do you think surrounding ramallah was a reasonable action on the part of the israeli forces considering the palestinians day of rage was planned for friday arab terrorists which is pointed towards israel didn't start three days ago or three years ago it was started one hundred forty years ago and unfortunately the main motives the main reason for this kind of hatred that we suffer from is a unwillingness of the arab population to accept jewish state in any borders

so we first of all should try to learn to live together and we should accept each other ariel there are different perspectives to this obviously there's the israeli side a side and the palestinian side and i ask you again this action. the israelis would have known that it would cause an escalation and my first question was what can israel do to avoid escalation israel first world supplies all the humanitarian needs of the palestinian population in a fortunately we suffer from terror only reply of israeli population to terror its stalk in the perpetrator who wants to kill civilians and this kind of. we ply off. of some region that unfortunately terrorists are hiding in its force

proper reply and spurred east to provide proper protection for israeli and arab civilian population. now more is seen as a major u.-turn by the new italian government it submitted a revised budget proposal to the european commission in an effort to avoid sanctions rome had previously valued it would stick to its high spending plans which had been rejected by europe peter all of his more. rome has made the decision to back down over the budget that they were trying to force through they've been trying to force it through the e.u. for quite a while now the plan initially was to run a two point four percent deficit they've now revised that they will be running a two point zero four percent deficit for twenty nineteen it does mean that some of the marquee policies that just because it wanted to push through in the new year a going to be hits to the tune of a few billion euros seeing things like the universal basic income for the

unemployed also plans to lower the retirement age are also coming in on the chopping block certainly not the plans themselves but the financing for those plans for twenty nineteen arguments for this being going on for a while though italy's decided to step down to back down a big part to avoid sanctions from brussels but there was some real heated arguments in the lead up to this decision but as a first time as a commission is obliged to the ghost country that it was drafted budgetary plan this is the first time in budget the e.u. doesn't like no surprise this is the first italian budget written in rome and not in brussels they're going to meet. the italian economy is healthy and this is an economic move that will give italy distributing needs we won't change one comma in this document there is a plan b. you know to go through that that we are not gone boards that are both the on.

the future. that more than words as well when the e.u. issued a document rejecting the initial italian budget while the tally in m.p. employed a little punt of mine to express his dissatisfaction. so it's really found themselves firmly in the financial naughty corner over their budget that they've now backed down on bullets just this week france's announced plans to appease the yellow vest protesters with a slew of social spending

a manual on well his government planning to run a budget budget deficit that could run from three percent to three point five percent the reaction from pierre moscovici the e.u. commission commissioner for economic affairs was quite different have a listen to what he had to say. the eventual overrun of the three percent must not extent over two consecutive years nor exceed three point five percent over the one year there is no indulgence these are rules and nothing but our rules for the italian side aren't happy they say this is a double standard for a muscovy chair in the e.u. commission site they say that two slightly different scenarios for the french case this is a one off budget deficit that they are going to allow them to push them through and it must not exceed three point five percent in the italian case they were saying well this is going to be a series of budget deficits that will continue for the future as they put forward

their plans and that was something the e.u. commission couldn't couldn't accept it hasn't however stopped those in rome from looking over the border over open to northern europe towards france and thinking we wouldn't have got away with that why do you pay for all of that well the political analysts pallotta phony tellers that being is just acting in the interests of its leading palace. the french. just to have a how you're deficit between tea in people and five percent. is a sort of an exceptional measures of business both france without putting into question at all the fundamentals on which the entire economic and monetary system is things do europe. versus versus the italian quest was tackling the fundamentals of the system saying that the. accents should be put to roads region fifty seven region in the in the treaties but it doesn't they haven't been really

implemented at european level you know trying to save france because france is essential in the continent to maintain the the approach that the commission has been implementing for the past ten years basically they don't want to feel you can only focus and want to go on as it sees interest of the two major the continental countries which are france and germany are you watching out international money in a couple of minutes.

what holds if you should. put themselves. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express. yourself want to. be close this is what will. really help you get. interested in the waters. there should.

be with r.c. now both the u.s. senate and house of representatives debated america's support for the saudi military incursion in yemen senators passed a resolution demanding that washington hold on to riyadh by fifty six votes to forty one however congress then passed an act that delays any vote on the matter until at least next year called the agriculture improvement act it doesn't sound like it has much to do with the yemeni conflicts but it did include a last minute amendment blocking any vote on limiting american involvement until twenty nineteen republican house speaker paul ryan was one of the amendments strongest supporters he was slammed by democrat wrote khanna who had hoped for an early a vote on the issue. this is why people hate congress speaker ram is not allowing a vote on my resolution to stop the war in yemen because many republicans will vote with us and he will lose the vote he is discreet see article one of the

constitution and as a result more yemeni children will die and some democrats and cells criticized as well for supporting the amendment to the agricultural improvement act among them and call him pederson he was questioned by a washington post reporter can you explain your vote on the yemen resolution yeah it didn't belong in there why not couldn't you just have come back and done another vote. no we worked for two years on this farm bill and i'll be damned if i let anybody screw it up do you have any thoughts about the war in yemen i don't know a damn thing about it and it should be in there and it it didn't do anything anyway what do you mean by that all it did was say they couldn't have a vote or something didn't authorize anything it didn't you know our party gets off on tangents it's ridiculous the antiwar campaigner jar joe lombardo does say though

that amendment slipped in like this also known as riders are frequently used to force through unpopular measures. this is not uncommon in u.s. politics when they want to pass something that is not going to be palatable to the people of the united states they put it as a rider in another bill which some people would support and then the people that voted for it said well i'm really against that rider but i really had to vote for it because i was for the main bill and that's what they were hoping to do right now and one of the democrats that did vote for this one of the five democrats was actually a sponsor of the farm bill so this is a way in which they can kind of fool the people of the united states and support. actions that are not very popular and give an excuse for it but also on wednesday the senate he anonymously approved

a resolution blaming the society crime prince for the murder of the germans jim out to seoul g any stumble two months ago the resolution is seen as a challenge to donald trump's policies towards riyadh and his refusal to scale back military ties with the kingdom though recent months conflicting signals have come from the white house. we need to have a serious hard talk with the saudis to let them know we won't condone this we won't give you a pass just so you understand about make america great again it's about america first we're going to say we're saudi arabia we have identified at least some of the individuals responsible including those in the intelligence services the royal court the foreign ministry and other sorry ministries who we suspect to have been involved in mr to show us death whoever thought of that idea. i think is in big trouble and they should be in big trouble to remind you then jamal khashoggi was a u.s. resident who wrote for the washington post he disappeared on the second of october

after entering the saudi consulate in istanbul turkey blamed saudi arabia riyadh strongly denies the crown prince had anything to do with the killing we spoke to politics and media lecture at the u.k. zine cast university robert dr robert he thinks that the actions of congress are not democratic. now delaying the ability for people to speak or to take action is not a very democratic. part of the process if the resolution does go through will do united states still be operating behind the scenes and in other ways that aren't so easily connected on pieces of paper i.e. you know supplying weapons in discreet man this is absolutely a referendum on swords on donald trump himself and i think a lot of people quite frankly were shocked by his behavior related to relationships in saudi arabia and this particular murder that the way he talked about incidents to cavalier manner and his delay in doing anything he still hasn't really taken any

steps in acknowledging what his own government is saying that. ok let's go back to our top story this hour and america's national security adviser who was criticizing the activities of russia and china in africa john bolton is actually unveiling a new u.s. policy for the continent and talk more about it with mr bunting news director of the center for international business ethics in beijing and he's with us now and we're very pleased about it thank you for coming on and we appreciate your time just looking at the speech and listening to it it makes me think that it's actually more about countering russia and china's influence than it is about establishing perhaps better relations between the u.s. and africa. well. right now they we need to move it to consider what really africa needs it's not really what china

ney's what a russian aid or us need so at the moment the infrastructure hurt development is the critical need to that is there for the efforts going on now without this you know you talk about just as you talk about the motorist say that doesn't really. go the relevance to the living quality of this people so everyone china russia or all of france. as this is on has the kind really a country be able to number one the infrastructure of development and also to give technology to grow their agriculture and there are many factory based that something that command a moral high now simply by the other all of this continent it doesn't really know how these people who were all their industry to earn better life so right now just fingerpointing to russia or to to china for some of

the you know allegedly bad behavior that doesn't really help the picture so it is up to the africans who decide wholly want. you know the other party really naming other countries just addressing some of the criticism that he was saying were paid to say that the investment that china makes or russia makes he said he needs his leverage by those countries against africa to the u.n. except through to back russia no china policies in other areas is not a fair criticism. i did no think so. it is really the decision of the average. voluntary basis hole there to accept so now the reality is that if you have russian a vast amount of american they last month french in less time than chinese invest

in the war there they have different events in this at this election of the african people so it is not out there to buy political votes or are you know all too over some of the global pictures in favor of those countries and china is deeply committed to doing most of the players are the private enterprises from china so therefore it is really the market that is driving this maneuverability. most of them are really engaged in their business in trade investment banking financing center and we also notice that a flip american companies for providing services finance seems. also become solid and so therefore it is really a fair and open market that is really the size of the rule of the game. and what

about the timing of all this you surprised that mr bolton would put forward such criticisms considering the tension and the sensitive nature of trade between china and the us in the mind. you know there are some politicians who are trying to push the envelope to. stretch the trade disputes into many other areas including military confrontation also pull the split of new market territories as secretary to sen i think now it construct it reproach is really to narrow down this to an operational level and put it onto the table issue by issue and case by case so simply. to expand those disputes that doesn't know how to solve the problem and create a new problem and that creates a lot of uncertainty and shocking the ways to the

global community so i do not think that's really a risk response or response to the current concern of the. chinese how could they chinese goes you're right and us companies u.s. consumers together with the global community ok fascinating perspex if we appreciate your time tonight i was by changeling director of the center for international business ethics in beijing thank you. international just coming up to seven thirty pm hay in moscow back again in about thirty five minutes with more stories and headlines.

the best. move. you know i work with potential school shooters for a period of twelve years and none of the students who we work with in our facility the syllabi ever went on to commit a school shooting so that gives me hope that if you catch the students early enough and provide the kind of support and mental health treatment that they need but they can come out of the crisis. they all. said. yes this is how the. cult.
