completely wrong when you let people determine what the fed says to the masses you're looking for censorship you're looking for the cycling appropriate to vittie . top stories here live from moscow where it's now monday december seventeenth and minus seventeen degrees. the hunt for russian medalist is not a baiting leaked messages sent by a b.b.c. correspondent suggest that the broadcasters news team is in search of a need leads connecting moscow and the gallo best movement in france and one of her messages the b.b.c. correspondent said that her editors were quote out for blood well maybe some russian business is capitalizing greatly on the protests maybe the protest is eating cutlass maybe the far right to really does that i'm looking for angles yes

the editors to munson blunt the leaked messages were published by russia's ria novosti news agency last week a number of media outlets allege that russian ball so automated accounts were fueling outrage over the protests with sixteen hundred tweets sent daily the french authorities have launched an investigation into this. hit the streets of paris to ask people there if they thought the russians were or even are somehow interfering . over the last five weeks we've seen france and gulf by violence as people come out on to the streets to say they simply can't afford to live on the french president's money when. text messages between a p.v.c. russian journalist and another reporter apparently show who to point the finger of blame marked not the french government not french taxes but the kremlin tex's people can't really manage to debate everything life is so expensive must be the

russians behind it right we asked the b.b.c. to respond to these potentially embarrassing revelations this is all they have to say as the french foreign ministry had spoken publicly about media reports of a possible russian influence in the protests it was perfectly reasonable for a correspondent to raise the subject however in the end her reports made no mention of a possible connection with russia at all we stand by our impartial independent journalism i spoke to some people here on the streets of paris and asked them if they saw the shadowy hand of the kremlin behind these demonstrations everything is possible nowadays. and we know of course on the behind the man they say the russians are behind the us presidency as well so you know. of course about the difference we never happy about everything. we asked our b.b.c.

russia if they are still looking for connections between moscow and the french protests and whether the correspondent was under pressure to pursue with a particular angle sadly they declined to comment i mean time the russian foreign ministry has criticised the b.b.c. accusing it of acting in a cynical that. the cynicism of journalists is amazing we're talking about a company that has propagated all its life an unbiased and independent approach and its professionalism as the pitted me of the media world i have a question for this very british regulators of the media space and the public how do they evaluate this kind of compilation of facts that employees of their television and radio companies are doing. based journalist abroad macdonald told us he's not surprised by the b.b.c.'s take on the story it's quite clear here that you know they've gone for a very very tenuous link between entirely homegrown french protests which actually nothing to do with russia in a desperate attempt to find some kremlin angle to kind of you know fulfill the

agenda that they they feel they must do at the moment which is to get as much money as they can i suppose you know for the idea of fighting some in for war with russia i just off the top of my head i can mention things like you know montenegro's you know nato vote recently was supposed to be interfered some idiots is the only word i can use in britain or actually trying to say that russia was responsible for brics that now come on you know i mean that has been on the table well i mean your skepticism in england's been on the table for them particularly for you know twenty five or thirty years you see now you know in america they've tried to make it look like russia was somehow responsible for electing donald trump so this is just the latest in a litany of you know. reaching like this. minister justin trudeau has expressed concern over two canadians detained in china last week saying his government is taking the situation very seriously he says the arrests are politically motivated resulting from kind of a now being caught up in the ongoing trade war between beijing and washington where

the two largest economies of the world china and the united states start picking a fight with each other the escalating trade war between them is going to have all sorts of unintended consequences on canada and potentially on the entire global economy so we're very worried about that the arrest of canadians are michael called for more diplomatic cues to breaking china's and geo law and michael spade and entrepreneur with senior contacts in north korea reportedly including kim jong un. now china arrested them citing alleged activities harmful to national security and that was right after the arrest of the c.f.o. of the chinese smartphone maker huawei was detained in canada at america's request honey show sethi picks up the story. pequot on the high flying chinese executive arrest her income is a outrage her home nations claim it's at the request of the u.s. grant her an eye watering bail throw in a threat of extradition see china then arrest two canadians in retaliation and

while that's potentially the biggest trade deal the world at the scene is being hammered out by two of the vested parties washington and beijing complicated isn't it well let's try and break it down starting with those two canadian nationals joining me tonight and citizens marco coverage and michael's paiva suspect it's often gaijin in activities that endanger the national security of the people's republic of china china how to warned of the coming retaliation with beijing grave consequences that come into if the wall way c.f.i. was not released but as count as big brother has rushed to its defense the off of the tension of two canadian citizens is unacceptable that they ought to be returned the united states has stood for that whether there are citizens or citizens of other countries whether this washington fit in the picture men one show was arrested not because of something she did personally but because the u.s.

thinks the company was trying to evade the american embargo against iran extradition to the u.s. is on the menu mung and others are alleged to have put financial institutions at risk of criminal and civil liability in the united states by deceiving those institutions as to the nature and extent of while these business in iran but it is the snag many major financial companies including america's own j.p. morgan have had to pay a hefty fines for violating u.s. sanctions in the past yet we've never seen their execs being thrown into custody making the case a wild card but it's trying to seem to suggest the wall of little company puts the size when it comes to making money. if i think it's good for what will be served. the largest trade deal ever made i would certainly intervene if i thought it was necessary but it seems the man in the oval office is getting the concessions he wanted because beijing has now announced a suspension of tariff hikes on the u.s.

in thieves when the two world's biggest economies face a tech tug of war it seems the nice guy finishes last former u.s. government adviser on asia told r.t. sophie code the arrest of wild ways c.f.o. was part of a larger plan and you can watch the interview in full the bit later on this channel . in fact trump didn't even know she was arrested at the time he was having dinner with she had the g. twenty this is part of a long broader u.s. attempt. to push back on chinese technology stealing i.p.r. steel and so on chinese big is not that different from american big if you're ali babar by do or ten cent you want access to global markets trend is only fourteen percent a year or so of the world market they want access to the other eighty six percent.

banning rap called so it's not the way to tackle the potentially bad influence of lyrics that's what vladimir putin said reacting to a recent spate of hip hop gigs being shot down by authorities here in russia. looks at how life rap music is now generating debate. question what's going on in this video. this guys called husky his gig got canceled he got on top of the car and started rapping his rhymes out no mike needed the fans were loving it ok have a guess what happened next. he was grabbed by the cops spend a few days behind bars but charges of starting an unsanctioned gathering of people

were eventually dropped welcome to the world of russian showbiz and late twenty eight seeing the young hip hoppers corner of it. there's. this with. some of these videos get more clicks on you tube but the number of people in this country gigs have been cancelled in places from here all the way to here reasons in one case a watchdog suddenly realized the venue's hygene in condition wasn't good enough or any of your local officials said the rejected rappers songs may deal

possible blow to the moral and ethical values of the more than society and perm a band was reportedly told to vanish from the city all together and it all got to the point when even the busy man who's got more than ninety nine problems said that a gig ain't one spore suppose with stalking and banning these artists is the least effective way one can come up with to address certain issues such methods would only produce the opposite effect drugs raise the most concern naturally since they're the surest way to nations to trying it don't millions of teens listen to this kind of music probably quite a few million and drugs and all that dirty language won't be music to the ears of their parents so adults only or eighteen plus tags should be mandatory for most of these gigs but bang them all together come on the smartphone generation will always

find a way to hear the rhymes they want to hear plus check out some of the commons under husky's videos never listen to husky before but if the russian prosecution service insists i will start doing it now frank's never thought husky was so cool thank you police for sharing. such a talented artist and i guess when it comes to hip hop as we know it wines on drugs will probably never find themselves out of tune with the rappers. italian fashion house prada has pulled a range of accessories featuring monkey like figurines over allegations of racism. people online cold called out the fashion house for not seeing a strong resemblance to racist caricature as of black people prada has since apologized saying any offense was unintentional. the problem ali are fantasy charms

blackface says it's come to be commonly called when i first saw that image myself i didn't think straight away to the minstrel show so i think how can you how can such a big brand nowadays when divesting such a big issue get it completely wrong to say that or to think that a company of that size and that reputation would purposely go out and make these little figurines that would purposely affair and or mock a race of people you'd have to be out of your mind to believe in freedom of speech and freedom of creativity and however they should be done taking into consideration people's feelings when you let people determine what's offensive to the masses you're looking for censorship you're looking for the stifling of creativity they go hand in hand totally secret i don't know what address a case finchem you know he's talking about it's a fantasy show and use fantasies it is that you will say it because it's certainly not my kind of fantasy now you know changes are happening and it's time to become

more diverse fleet's why can't we have a company that caters to skinny thin women and and we do have companies that cater to heavier women so so should they be protested because they're not catering to women i mean the whole thing is just the same when you think about it look around one's different you know ethnicity age size just get up there and start being inclusive of everyone i mean you're selling your brand to literally everyone now on the story so come on be inclusive. plenty of news stories coming your way here on r.t. international we're getting reports right now of intense fighting in the yemeni port city of dado that's despite a recent cease fire deal being agreed on just. i've

been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten life collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he wants to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only. if we have a new trade or their arrangements with china may build a new foundation for wars they will relations i think broadly the if there's of the

us has a problem in accepting the rise of china no matter what they do. in mind the headlines here and there are reports of fierce fighting at asteroids in the yemeni port city of a data despite the warring sides recently breaching a cease fire agreement the un has again joint attention to the diet humanitarian situation in the region calling it the world's worst of voidable crisis a terrible tragedy is unfolding in yemen and it's getting worse millions of people are starving sake desperate they have one message for the world this will needs to stop. a cease fire agreement was reached off to u.n. sponsored peace talks in sweden on december the sixth they were the first such talks in two and a half years meanwhile the report by the armed conflict location and event data

member states at a summit in marrakesh last monday dames to find a common global approach to. the critics say it will limit the ability of countries to shape their own migration. so of course intelligence agencies are designed to protect their countries from potential new threats and classified cia documents show that our project from the nine hundred sixty s. was willing to explore some fairly off the wall if not ethically dubious ways to do just that. the specific game over the research program was to examine the possibility of controlling the behavior of a dog in an open field by means of remove the triggering electrical stimulation of
