if we have a new trade arrangements with china may build a new foundation for war stable relations i think broadly the actors of the us has a problem and it's something the rise of china no matter what they do. thank. god and. the. cost of those moved to create its own army sees a session of un security council called amid fears it could escalate tensions with serbia. the russian foreign ministry heads down to the b.b.c. saying it works ranks of cynicism trust after leaks messages from one of their

reporters that it says are out for blood in their attempts to find links between the kremlin and the yellow vast movement in france. and to raise in maine says the vote on her divorce deal will now take place in the third week of january but it comes amid reports some in her own cabinet are plotting to force another break but. it's midnight and you're watching international live from our moscow studio with me a day or two to welcome to the program. the russian of foreign ministry has lashed out at the b.b.c. calling it cynical after messages were leaked from a correspondent looking into possible connections between moscow and the yellow vest movement in france in one of the 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 mass may be the far right to really do is there i'm looking for angles yes the editors demand blood. the leaked messages were published by russia's ria 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 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 we stand by our impartial independent journalism we also asked 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 a mason 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 this very british regulators of the media space and the public how did the value of this kind of compilation a fact that in pleas of their television and radio companies are due in. we went on to the streets of paris to ask people if they thought russians are somehow interfering everything's possible nowadays. and we know of course they are not behind the man they say the russians are behind

the us presidency as well so you know yourself of course about the vast number of journalism groups comment and we'll bring you any response as soon as they come in we also discussed the issue with journalist and writer neil clark and bush politician and writer george galloway. 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 the the big revelation 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 no me of journalistic

impartiality quite to the contrary what i think really is 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 basically got and establishment in these countries anything that really threatens the status quo or as a possibility of a change. direction of the economy or the political system he's playing on russia i think the cards being overplayed and right i think it's like the boy who cried wolf just shouting the russians the russians the russians so i go about the really and i don't think the public are really buying it and he starts no there is widespread anger against michael and i think this trying to link it with russia is really exposing people to big conspiracy theory so what you what they are saying with the yellow fast protesters in france the country's prime minister has admitted in an interview the government made mistakes in tackling the movement he accepted the authorities had not listened enough to the french people meanwhile the t.v.

channel france three found itself caught up in a scandal the doctoring the image of a poster belonging to a yellow vest protester the sign called for president micron's resignation the word out which is seen in the original image had disappeared from the channels late evening news broadcast from the street blamed human error and said there had been no intent to hype the sign but people didn't believe the excuse on social media. open the photo fodder shot by mistake use or is a two by mistake believed out by mistake save the modified photo by overwriting their original by mistake projected onto the plaque card by mistake watching france three by mistake that would happen again human error what i think to say they're really taken us for fools. a human error

journalists editors the editor in chief the chief information officer all these people have therefore indorsed the sly with our cards well done this public service . on saturday yellow vest protesters flooded the streets of cities across france for a fifth consecutive weekend the number of demonstrators was down compared to previous weeks but clashes with police continued as massive forces were deployed again including officers on horseback and armored vehicles publisher and writer. a belief that france three coverage of the events was a clear case of self-censorship ball with the government the lax leeway as it is entangled in such a quagmire but i suppose it's small self censorship a kind of go into objection of censorship then censorship from above so what the mainstream media entrance try to conceal is that though the yellow vests wants my

macro to resign last saturday they were all carrying that kind of card it's true that micro-credit cannot make huge and on that very topic it would be ridiculous he was compelled to to make talk and reforms but people want him to go away because they cannot live anymore now in such a despair. british prime minister tries them a has said the much anticipated total how bribes a deal will now take place in the third week of january just weeks before the country is due to walk through the exit door but the opposition labor leader gerry corbin is still slamming her deal as an acceptable and accusing the pm of leading the country into a national crisis another vote which would do irreparable damage to the integrity of our politics because it would say to the millions who trusted him to mark prosy that our democracy does not deliver. another vote which would likely leave us no 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 the scratch marks last week the prime minister said i have made some progress mr speaker she has not made any progress at all i have to ask what is the leadership the phrase which is often used i was taught the prime minister has reached rock bottom and bush is still digging at all this 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 that vote makers has been offering sixty six to warn against passing parliament could it be cabinet ministers that would gnomes preparing for a referendum are not being disloyal to her but simply better at math yes. the

liberal democrat leader vince cable there was referring to reports cabinet members aside to be plotting moves towards a second referendum it comes after former leaders john major and tony blair and also backed calls for another vote. has the latest. talk of a second referendum appears to be getting more serious and because it's not just coming from the opposition parties apparently it's coming from to reason may's own team over the weekend reports have emerged that her cabinet has split into two opposing camps one which along with her chief of staff is now reportedly mullings the idea of letting parliament decide on whether there should be a second referendum to potentially reverse brags that and the other camp of pro relievers who are adamantly against this plan now the prime minister herself has been attempting to the brochure for these various rumors and especially talk of a second referendum in fact her spokesperson has just denied just rules 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 hundred people dead keen to reverse bragg's and to have a second referendum tony blair the former labor prime minister and he's been getting much more say on friday he did a whole load of interviews advocating for a second vote and criticizing to resume a's brags 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. having this conversation a year or two they would say to me it's never going to happen another referendum now people are saying you know will 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 referral. i'm insulted your office he once held and the people he once served are 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's behavior has evidently rubbed terror up the wrong way but in a way that's violent 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 all would 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 hat 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 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. senior political. analyst the mark gannett believes most arguments being made against another referendum lacks substance. but those arguments that mrs may. not having a second referendum the only one i think that really makes any kind of sense is one of the public says that if we have this referendum that will solve our problem because it will again be rather close all the other argument she's been using against a referendum it does pretty thin she seems to be saying it would somehow be a betrayal of democracy which suggests that using the democratic process is somehow

our two democratic the idea that the people have spoken once and should 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 this no dramatic movement in the polls and that might be if there were to be such a movement i really think that it would be impossible to stop second rougher and. more than five thousand people took to the streets of the belgian capital on sunday to protest against migration. thank protesters try to when taking the buildings police responded with

a water cannon and tank gas to push them back the demonstration comes in the same week belgium signed up to a un migration deal that document was agreed by more than one hundred sixty un member states last monday it aims to find a common global approach to migration but critics say it will limit the ability of countries to shape their own migration policies chairman of the youth wing of the flemish slums belong party believes the protests have sent an important signal to the belgian government. the old soldier specialist films isn't a nation that has a lot of protests for what we saw this week and thousands of people flocking to the streets of brussels to group just migration but a lot of those people are young people who have shown to grow just for the first time in their lives that's rude is something that's really new and now we can already see we have seen a t.v. and to be a party to

a lot just as we draw from the government it's very very. stressed out by this and how voters are going to react in the next election so yet but things are finally starting to move in well the country to look into the future of the one thousand sorties are starting to real eyes to teach immigrant issue to migration and to injure people. there are very very big issue that will have to be a major role and in years. italian fashion house prada has pulled a range of accessories like figurines over allegations of racism. people online called out the fashion house for not saying a strong resemblance to racists caricature of black people prada has since apologized saying it never intended any offense. the problem ali are fantasy charms

their 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 embraces 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 the issues up for debate i think proud to call it completely wrong there it's quite obvious to me that to. put art with a black face and big red lips it's pretty obvious looking 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 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 divesting such a big get it completely wrong 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 mark a race of people you'd 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 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. intelligence agencies are designed to protect their countries from potential threats and classified cia documents show a project from the one nine hundred sixty s. was willing to explore some fairly off the wall if not dubious methods.

well all eyes are on the security council at the moment as the meeting of the u.n. security council that's the fifteen member body that leaves the un is continuing now at this point it's a meeting called by both russia and serbia regarding the announcement of kosovo to form its own army to transform its four thousand strong security service into an actual army for kosovo now we've heard from both russia and serbia opposing this move from kosovo let's take a listen my question to all of you my dear friends is from rich document from rich article but i'm going to rule they derived at the right room is that with them and they can tell you in advance in advance no where is just an intrapreneur competition a very bad interpretation done by some country but done by some countries because

it is their own political interests. so it was a violation of the security council resolution is to put in you put your hands as a result look at russia with my little pristina simply because i was on the transformation of this only as a cutie for the release fully fledged armed forces. now we also heard the representative of russia point out that it was a violation clearly of the un resolution regarding kosovo however forces representing kosovo were pretty clear and adamant that they were making the right decision let's take a listen to what was said. fox in fact i would check on dollar ward have i been there correlate not a mark is your normal decision then mrs just in so mission and its purpose mr costello or god or god being me of course i had made a mistake our subsequent preacher bears is the only way to the limit of five years

under certainly to establish an army when the mere person in their decision or the army lost you go may or may be belated but you know what it was a war once a particular breed is belated because one that's permeated got party. from the old just out of one that off but never showed in good the world all the words closeable . now it's pretty clear that serbia views the creation of this army as a threat to its security as well as a violation of the un resolution now we'll just quickly review kosovo was a province of serbia and it came under un and nato administration after the one thousand nine hundred ninety nine air led war in which there was bombing and it was all in response to a crackdown on ethnic albanian separatists that was taking place and the serbian government cracking down on those separatists after that there was a un resolution putting kosovo under the essential administration of nato and the

united nations now in two thousand and eight kosovo actually declared itself to be an independent country and some member states of the un actually recognized serbia however russia and china both members of the security council permanent members have not recognized it now at this point when kosovo has announced that it intends to create its own army not just have a security force of four thousand strong but actually have its own army we've seen support for that decision from washington however there have been voices within nato that have said this is very very poor timing for such a move to be made let's take a listen to that while the transition of the kosovo security forces in principle for kosovo to decide we have made clear that this movie is ill timed to suppose the development of kosovo security force under its current monday with a change of mandates the north atlantic council would not have to reexamine the

level of nato as engagement with the kosovo security force. now as the meeting continues in the security council chamber at the new york city headquarters of the united nations it's pretty clear that there are strong differences between countries when it comes to the situation regarding kosovo's potential creation of an army. for the update a. kind of reporting from washington thank you. round up sean thomas will take over an hour on thirty minutes time and.

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 as trump says it is. 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.
