i'm. trying not to be construed that it was notable that was and i don't believe that was really a. poor job of. the russian foreign ministry heads out of the b.b.c. saying its work smacks of cynicism or leaked messages from one of the reporters says her relatives are out for blood in their attempts to find links between the kremlin and the yellow press movement to. trace the main says the vote on her

divorce deal will now take place in the third week of january but it comes amid reports some in the run cabinet plotting to force another oppressive. and luxury fashion giant project was accused of racism after selling figurines that with big lips we put the issue up for debate. how can such a big brands nowadays when divesting such a big issue get it completely wrong when you let people determine what's offensive to them and you're looking for censorship you're looking for the stifling of creativity. it's ten o'clock and you're watching all t international live from our moscow studio with me now to welcome to the program. the russian foreign ministry has lashed out at the b.b.c. calling it cynical after messages were leaked from
2:02 pm
a correspondent looking into possible connections between moscow and the yellow best movement in france in one of their reporters messages it's claimed her editors were quote out for blood. well maybe some russian business is capitalizing greatly on the protests maybe the protesters eating cutlass may be the far right who really does their i'm looking for angles yes the editors demands blood. spilling messages were published by russia's rear novosti news agency it comes just a week after a number of media outlets allege that russian bots or automated accounts were helping to fuel the anger seen on the streets of france the french authorities have launched an investigation into the claims the b.b.c. has told r.t. it was reasonable for its news team to look into a potential collection in light of the french government's own statement on this possibility as the fridge foreign ministry had spoken publicly about media reports
2:03 pm
of a possible russian influence in the protests it was perfectly reasonable for a correspondent to raise the subject and within the only reports made no mention of a possible connection with russia we stand by our impartial independent journalism . to ask b.b.c. russia if it's still looking for connections between moscow and the french protests and whether the correspondent was under pressure to pursue that particular angle but it declined to comment the russian foreign ministry has criticised the b.b.c. accusing it of acting with cynicism. the cynicism of journalists is amazed i'm talking about a company that has propagated all its life an unbiased and then dependent approach and this professionalism is the epitome of the media world i have a question for those very british regulators of the media space and the public how did the value of this kind of compilation of the employees of their television and radio companies are doing. we went on to the streets of paris tossed people if they thought russians are somehow interfering. everything's possible nowadays.
2:04 pm
you know of course on the behind the man they say the russians are behind the us presidency as well so you know. of course no. we've asked a number of journalism groups to comment and we'll bring you any response as we get it and we discussed the issue with journalist and writer neil clark and british politician and writer george galloway well i think really it's not so much i don't think just about the b.b.c. it's about the climate under which the b.b.c. is currently operating which is this crime of aggression phobia here in britain in america and in other countries in the west and what we've got angriest establishment in these countries anything that really threatens the status quo or possibility of a change in direction of the economy or the political system he's playing on russia i think the cards are being overplayed and i think it's like the boy who cried wolf just shouting the russians the russians the russians it's like going back to the
2:05 pm
eighteenth is isn't it really and i don't think the public are really buying it and he france people know that there is widespread anger against michael and i and i think this trying to link it with russia is really exposing people to be conspiracy theory so what actually what they are the truth is our media class has allowed itself to become trapped in russell for b.-a when everything about us is falling around our ears luckily the british people are on to them the big revolution over the last couple of weeks is that the british government is using public money to pay for or to pay for the c.e.o. of this information misinformation hostile attacks on the loyal opposition in parliament the british broadcasting corporation is nought me of journalistic impartiality quite to the contrary. british prime minister theresa may
2:06 pm
has said the much anticipated photo have pranks a tale will now take place in the third week of january just weeks before the country is due to walk through the exit door and the opposition. is still slamming her tail as an acceptable and accusing the pm of things in the country into a national crisis. another vote which would do irreparable damage to the integrity of our politics because it would say to millions who trust it into more prosy that our democracy does not deliver. another vote which would likely leave us nose further forward than the last and another vote which would further divide our country at the very moment we should be working to unite and this is bigger we face an unprecedented situation the prime minister has led us into a national crisis standing out of his scratch marks last week the prime minister said i have made some progress mr speaker she has not made any progress at all i
2:07 pm
have to ask what is the leadership the phrase which is often used we thought the prime minister had reached rock bottom but she's still digging in the thursday it will be one hundred days until britain leaves the european union at the moment with . no deal and no plan b. . this is the constitutional crisis the prime minister may be aware of the very vocal makers has been offering sixty six to warn against passing parliament could it be cabinet ministers that would no interest bearing for a referendum are not being disloyal to her but simply better at math yes. well the liberal democrat leader cable there was referring to reports cabinet members are said to be plotting moves towards a second round it comes after former leaders john major and tony blair also trying to call for another vote. has the latest. talk of a second referendum appears to be getting more serious and because it's not just
2:08 pm
coming from the opposition parties apparently it's coming from to reason may's own team over the weekend reports have emerged the cabinet has split into two opposing camps one which along with her chief of staff is now reportedly mulling the idea of letting parliament decide on whether there should be a second referendum to potentially reverse brags that and the other camp of prone lever's who are adamantly against this plan now the prime minister herself has been attempting to quash all these various rumors and especially talk of a second referendum in fact test spokesperson has just denied his tools but then again her spokesperson did deny the cancellation of the parliamentary vote on her brags that deal last week immediately before it was cancelled so make of that denials what you will now one of the people dead keen to reverse brags and to have
2:09 pm
a second referendum is tony blair the former labor prime minister and he's been getting much more vocal about it on friday he did a whole load of interviews advocating for a second vote in criticizing to reason may's bragg's it deal but the prime minister isn't very happy about it take a listen to the levels of animosity between the former labor prime minister and the current conservative one dismissing to be done having this conversation the euro do they would say to me it's never going to happen another referendum now people are saying you know we'll could it really happen i need to get the european leaders to the next stage which is to realise the probability is it's going to happen and they've got to prepare for it there are too many people who want to subvert the process for their own political interest rather than acting in the national interest for tony blair to go to brussels and seek to undermine our negotiations by advocating for a second reference. i'm insulted your office he once held and the people he wants
2:10 pm
served i remain determined to see that happen i will not lead to british people down now that type of rhetoric is rather unusual for to resume a it's not normally her style to be that confrontational but tony blair is behavior has evidently rubbed terror up the wrong way but in a way that's plants with tony blair has provided for her a bit of a distraction from the chaos seemingly taking place in her own cabinet team right now in terms of where we are with have read that deal what it looks dead in the mortaring again after her renegotiation late last week in brussels totally failed and unless she pulls a greggs a rabbit out of her santas hats it looks like parliament is still expected to vote down the deal that she brings back to parliament after christmas which leaves the u.k. perilously close to a no deal bragg's it which is why we've got this rumor mill in overdrive talking
2:11 pm
about what potential options there could be once parliament rejects to resume may's deal and yet on the surface all that talk of potentially there being a second referendum or parliament getting to choose what the next options are that's being played down officially but behind the scenes the rumor is that all the options on now on the table i have to say the festive period is normally pretty quiet when it comes to news hacks but the media is having a field day with everything that's taking place right now in the political uncertainty all the rumors all the plotting behind ministers backs that's very good for the media they're having a jolly good time writing about all the various options taking place and really as you make your way through westminster you see all the leaves side the remains side everybody's got a few protesters out in front of parliament waving their flags advocating their positions and there is a sense that right now the situation is very much up in the air. in politics
2:12 pm
later at lang cost a university mark gannett believes most arguments being made against another referendum lacks substance of those arguments that mrs may. not having a second referendum the only one i think that really makes any kind of sense is the one that says that if we have this referendum that won't solve our problem because it will again be rather close all the other argument she's been using against a referendum it desperately thin she seems to be saying it would somehow be a betrayal of democracy which suggests that using the democratic process is somehow anti democratic the idea that the people have spoken once and shouldn't be allowed to speak again is rather strange so she's really on very very thin ice when she's talking on this subject but in the end there's no dramatic movement in the polls and that might be if there were to be such
2:13 pm
a movement i really think that it would be impossible to stop a second referendum. the canadian 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 and resulting from canada being caught up in the ongoing trade between beijing and washington where the two largest economies of the world china in 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 arrested canadians are michael coffeemaker former diplomatic used to breaking china's n.g.a. law and michael spader he's an entrepreneur with senior contacts in north korea including came. china rest of them aside to alleged activities harmful to

national security that was right after the c.f.o. of chinese smartphone maker while he was detained in canada at the request of america and they just set the picks up the story take on the high flying chinese think that could if arrest her in canada outrage her home nation 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 to canadians and retaliate and all the while that's potentially the biggest trade deal the world at the scene is being hammered out by two of the best and parties washington and beijing complicated isn't it well let's try and break it down starting with those two canadian nationals. canadian citizens marco coverage and michael's paiva suspect it's often gaijin an activity that endangered the national security of the people's republic of china china had to warned of the coming retaliation with beijing grave
2:15 pm
consequences the calendar 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 the united states is good for that whether there are citizens or citizens of other countries whether this washington fits in the picture mang 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 and her 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 he's 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. yes we've never seen their execs being thrown into custody
2:16 pm
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 making 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 a suspension of tariff hikes on the u.s. the rest of the two canadians are definitely tied to the arrest of men one jew there's no doubt about that the timing of the arrest was it 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 that they continue to talk so it will make kind of the example. of this situation a warning to other countries who maybe may be tempted to follow. american
2:17 pm
extradition demands i think the chinese reaction will be slow and very well thought out when it comes to the united states. more than five thousand people took to the streets of the capital on sunday to protest against migration. thank you. thank you. thank you. thank you the protesters tried to went to key buildings responded with water cannon tokens to post back the demonstration comes in the same week belgium signed up to a un my question. that document was acquired by more than one hundred sixty u.n.

2:19 pm
the future but i didn't start these are starting to reel our eyes to look grand issue migration and density baltics is very very big issue that will have to be play a major role and in years. fashion has prada has pulled a range of accessories featuring monkey like figurines over allegations of racism. if the line called the fashion house for not seeing a strong resemblance to racist caricature of black people prada has since apologized saying it never intended any offense. 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
2:20 pm
and we have who are all forms of racism embraces imagery. but fashion giants getting in broad in ever more scandals as people accuse them of being tone deaf to diversity racism and body image we put the issues up for debate. our fate proud to call it completely wrong there it's quite obvious to me that to. put art we've 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 is 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 did think straight away to the minstrel show so i think how can you how can such a big brand nowadays when diversity such a big issue and get it completely wrong to say that or to think that
2:21 pm
a company of that size and that reputation would purposely go out and make these little figurines that would purposely affair end or mark a race of people you have to be out of your mind do you believe in freedom of speech and freedom of creativity and however should be done taking into consideration people's feelings that when you let people determine what's offensive to the masses you're looking for censorship you're looking for the cycling of creativity they go hand in hand. and banning rap concerts is not the way to tackle the potentially bad influence of living expense want to rip it instead reacting to a recent spate of hip hop gigs being shut down by the authorities in russia. looks at how live rock music is generating to paint. question what's going on in this video.

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 the rejected rappers songs may deal it improbable 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 suppose one of. 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
2:24 pm
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 i'm 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 thanks never thought hockey 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 rapper's.
