creativity. running down this hour's top stories on r.t. international for this month welcome to the program. the hunt for russian medlars is not abating leaked messages sent by a b.b.c. correspondent suggests that the broadcasters news team is in search of any leads connecting moscow and they get low vast movement in france and one of my messages the correspondent said 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 demand some blurred the links to messages were published by russia's ria novosti news agency it comes just a week after

a number of media outlets allege that russian bought automated accounts were fueling outrage over the protests french authorities now say they're going to launch an investigation the b.b.c. has told r.t. it was reasonable for its news team to look into a potential connection in light of the french government's own statement on the possibility 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 he reports made no mention of a possible connection with russia or its all we stand by our impartial independent journalism we also asked the b.b.c. russia if they are still looking for connections between moscow and the french protests and whether the correspondent was perhaps under pressure to pursue that particular angle sadly though they declined to comment in the meanwhile though the russian foreign ministry has criticized the b.b.c. accusing it of acting in a cynical manner. the cynicism of journalists is amazing we're talking about

a company that has propagated all its life and bias an independent approach and its professionalism as the pitted me of the media world i have a question for these 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. so we went to the streets of paris to watch the people there if they think the russians are somehow connected or even interfering in the yellow fast when. everything is possible nowadays. you. know of course on the. man they say the russians are behind the us presidency as well so you know. of course that we've set out requests for comment to a number of journalism groups and journalists brian mcdonald 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 have seen 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 russia was supposed to interfere some idiots is the only word i can use in britain or actually trying to say that russia was responsible for brics that now c'mon you know i mean there's been on the table well i mean your skepticism in england 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. prime 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 the kind that are 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 the arrest of the canadians are michael called a former diplomat accused of breaking china's n.-g. o. door and michael spade an entrepreneur with your contacts in north korea reportedly including kim jong un. china rested them so i think i just tipitina's harmful to national security that was right after the c.e.o. of chinese a small way was detained in kind of america's request on the show sethi picks up

the story hey kwan the high flying chinese think that to arrest her income is an 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 and then arrest two canadians that metallic nation and. 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. not in citizens marco coverage and michael's paiva suspect it's often gaijin inuktitut is that in danger of the national security of the people's republic of china china had to warned of the coming retaliation with beijing following 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

. to stood for that whether there are citizens or citizens of other countries where does washington fit in the picture 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 hefty fines for violating u.s. sanctions in the past. yes we've never seen their execs being thrown into custody making case a wild card but it's trying to seem to suggest the rule of law can be put to the site when it comes to make money. if i think it's good for what will be certainly

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 the suspension of tariff hikes on the u.s. the rest of the two canadians are definitely tied to the arrest of manga and jew there's no doubt about that timing of the arrest was would have been extremely suspicious otherwise because right now to chinese and the americans are involved in very delicate trade negotiations they have done nothing to the u.s. right now they continue to talk so it will make canada the example. of this situation warning other countries who may be may be tempted to follow. american extradition demands i think the chinese reaction will be slow and very well thought out when it comes to united states. banning so this is 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 shut down by authorities in russia. now assesses how rap music is generating to pate. question what's going on in this video. this guy's 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 i 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 soon. it was the. some of these videos get more clicks on you tube than 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 hygiene and condition wasn't good enough or. your local official said that the rejected rappers songs may deal it probable blow to the moral and ethical values of the modern 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 explosive because one of. these artists is the least effective way one can come up. with to address certain issues because such methods would only produce the opposite effect drugs raise the most concern naturally since they are 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 the mall 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 her ski before but if the russian prosecution

service insists i will start doing it now franks never thought husky was so cool thank you police for sharing info on such a talented artist and i guess when it comes to hip hop as we know it winds 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 it's over allegations of racism. people online called out the fashion house for not seeing a strong resemblance to racist caricature of black people prada has since apologized saying any offense was unintentional. the problem ali are fantasy charms they're imaginary creatures not intending to have any reference to the real world and certainly not blackface prada group never had the intention of offending anyone

and we have who are all forms of racism and races imagery. with fashion giants getting embroiled in ever more scandals as people accuse them of being tone deaf to diversity racism and body image we put up the issue of debate. faint proud to call it completely wrong there. it's quite healthy if i'm a to. put out with a black face and big red lips it's pretty obvious lookin back for any any person of ethnic origin to especially a black person to see that i think prada has made it perfectly clear that they had no intention of presenting this says as any kind of racist message or or blackface says it's come to be commonly called when i first saw the image of 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 get it completely wrong to say or to think that a company of that size and that reputation would purposely go out and make these little figurines that would purposely a fan 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 have a 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 renewed reports now of intense fighting in the yemeni port city of potato despite a recent cease fire deal the latest on not just about.

it seems wrong. to shape our.

worlds apart. to look for common ground. top stories for a monday here and there are reports of fierce fighting and air strikes in the yemeni port city of data despite the warring sides recently reaching a cease fire agreement the u.n. has again drawing attention to the diet humanitarian situation in the region calling it the world's worst avoidable crisis a terrible tragedy is unfolding in yemen and it's getting worse millions of people are starving seek desperate they have one message for the world this will need to stop a cease fire agreement was reached after a u.n. sponsored peace talks in sweden earlier this month meanwhile the report of the report i should say by the armed conflict location and event data project claims

the number of yemenis killed by violence since twenty sixteen is nearly sixty thousand that's far higher than the latest un figure which puts the combined total of dead and injured at roughly seventeen thousand but we spoke with one of the researchers behind the report feels that the crisis in yemen has gone largely under reported despite its colossal scale. from what we could see in any reporting at least there has been a very kind of a generally naisi. since that ten thousand figure provided by the un the sole feature figure since twenty sixteen field many newspapers and media outlets are still using that has you know which significantly downplay the devastation collecting totality numbers usually the single most difficult piece of information you can get from a company because of course there are reporting by years that because there is

a limited access the bottom. behind those numbers are of course the personal tragedies of individual families our sister channel our big brings us just one of the stories. you can hope. it was my dog's oh never forgot my to. do so was suffering from diarrhea which we didn't have the money to afford to transportation treatments we couldn't even afford to have a trip you see we say. i have no money that's why my daughter starve to death i pray to gold that the church

hunters. most of your top stories for this hour on this monday here were not. when the whole make us manufacture consent to instant of public wealth. when the ruling class isn't protect themselves. when the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent.

we can all middle of the room signals. going around anymore unions. oh. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trees 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 numbers you need to remember is one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one can only.

imagine that they know it's a thirty five and you have a what a career and a career involves using your i phone in your computer and things that they've been in an office and perhaps you start getting headaches or kids. are going to have to stop doing all this in this kind of you live in here it's must be frightening my world became smaller and smaller and smaller until i ended up running it in a box. or out at a very strong magnetic. field. in my head. it's like a real heart pressure on my skin and wireless access point. just continues with our students in the schools. we are just continually are citizens in this microwave radiation it is certainly electro small and it's getting worse.

can do so if you can go on so. the u.s. china trade war seems to be a burdett for the time being but will the truce last while i ask robert manning former advisor to the us government and a participant of the twenty eight hundred international conference. as the global trade between the u.s. and china is put on hold the parties stay poised for the next round in talks with the site showing any real desire for major concessions what will the washington beijing standoff leads to world how will it continue to trade conflict between economic giants impact on the rest of the world and chemical mix of

a military. planning great to have you with us on this program my pleasure right so after the g. twenty summit president an incredible deal with china has been made now the chinese they announced rolling back some tariffs and they're being ready for another round of talks but they're not giving any specific details out do you think the deal is really that incredible. despite the fact that trump said it it might be true. and i think that this was worked out for the g. twenty by various cabinet officials. and i think we're starting to see the chinese announced. purchases of more agricultural goods i suspect you will see them also announced purchases of long term natural gas. there announced in the opening over a range of sectors to foreign investment and i think the most set of issues around

technology. we're beginning to see things at least being talked about. most of the things that the u.s. has demanded if you go back and read the speeches she jinping has made going back to the one nine hundred forty congress if he actually did what he said there wouldn't be much of a problem and i think now he's being tested and that's not just the united states i think that china's mercantile those policies have been. a source of concern in europe in japan and elsewhere that the chinese are just kind of overplayed their hand and. even when there's a quiet debate amongst the chinese elite were one worrying that she has overplayed his hand i think we're beginning to see him walking it back a little bit let's let let's bring this back into the realm of u.s.

and china relations because i do agree what you're saying right here up in japan but i want to talk more about china and the u.s. because meanwhile look at the talks are in progress and second round of talks are somewhat close but meanwhile the daughter of the founder of the tech giant why wait . he's also second in command there has been arrested at a request for american requests for violating u.s. trade rules and in tehran sanctions i mean why ways they were china's government and even though china says that they arrest want to stop the trade talks with washington why the need to complicate things i mean these were just getting better you're just about to hammer out a day or so. what this arrest derail your log negotiations well i think you're assuming more coherence within the u.s. government than might be. prudent. we have in the pension edition of the justice department does it in fact trump didn't even know she was

arrested at the time he was having dinner with she at the g twenty cannot tell bolton said that he didn't pass the news of imminent or asked her present trauma to understand that you know president shouldn't be looking into every single detail there are things going on with this but this is a big deal well it's like bill gates daughter being arrested in china for or something like that right but i don't i don't think you have a similar situation is something that the chinese have a lot more control over all those sorts of things i think also the justice department announced a whole range of sanctions a bunch against chinese hacking exercises and so on this is part of a long broader u.s. attempt. to push back on chinese. technology control the stealing i.p.r. .
