you know a little. girl was going to vote. for really. good job. the u.n. general assembly adopt a resolution condemning russia over what it calls the militarization of crimea while moscow rejects the measure as a provocation. russian foreign ministry heads out at the b.b.c. saying its work smacks of cynicism that is after messages from one of their

reporters says her editors are out for blood in their attempts to find links between the kremlin and the yellow best movement and friends. and theresa may says the vote on her e.u. divorce deal will now take place in the third week of january but. amid reports some in her own cabinet are plotting to force another reference. are broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our international shantanu certainly glad to have you with us right now the u.n. general assembly has adopted ukraine's proposed resolution on the so-called militarization of crimea and the black sees it condemns russia for increasing its military presence in the region and also for building the crimean bridge that is despite the peninsula holding

a referendum in two thousand and fourteen in which the population voted to join russia. now the united nations general assembly has adopted a resolution put forward by ukraine the resolution condemned russia for allegedly violating the sanctity of the sovereignty of ukraine now this resolution had sixty six countries voting in favor of it nineteen countries opposed it and seventy two abstained from the voting now those who spoke in favor of the resolution accused russia of violating ukraine's sovereignty here's some of what was said it is yet another violation by the russian federation of the u.n. charter and deliberate attack by the russian military forces against ukraine in the neutral of the black sea the essence of this issue is a common belief that states must not use force in their international relations including to acquire territory or change borders inconsistently with the un charter

the united states is pleased to co-sponsor the resolution highlighting serious concerns with the militarization of crimea and russia's recent unprovoked attack on ukrainian naval vessels in the current strait russia's attack is a dangerous excavation and its ongoing aggressive activities towards ukraine now this follows an incident in which you had a ukrainian naval vessel trying to cross the current strait now when this happened at that point there were ukrainian navy boats trying to cross this courage straight and they ignored instructions from maritime control and at that point russian border guards had to intervene and detain the violators of a new saloon we mean it was in a word we are facing a carefully thought out and well planned provocation that is continuing here in this assembly before our eyes the u.s. and some e.u. countries are playing along with the ukrainian authorities confrontational course most of those countries are co-sponsors of this resolution as we can see because it

will settle down that is now the current bridge which was recently constructed connecting cry. near to other parts of russia was frequently brought up by those condemning russia it's important to note that bridge has been a point of criticism by those who oppose russia so much so the washington examiner a publication in the united states went as far as to call for the bridge to be blown up it's interesting that there was not then widespread condemnation of the washington examiner for the fact that one of their columnists basically called for an act of terrorism but regardless so we also have recently heard the united states promising to send more weapons to kiev and furthermore we did see another resolution voted on there was a resolution put forward by russia to oppose the glorification of naziism and add all fittler the german nazi regime and its sympathizers it it called to oppose any sympathy with such regimes now the united states voted in favor of the resolution

condemning russia however they voted against a resolution put forward by russia to condemn naziism in fact the united states and ukraine were the only two countries to vote against that resolution opposing nazis . are economic cross live to jennifer britain who is an anti terror expert and legal analyst jennifer thanks for being with us here are the international as always. so russia thinks the resolution is a provocation of sorts what's your take on that. i mean i think of course that is you know we're seeing not only are we seeing a lot of animosity and feelings coming up but we're also seeing a lot of political moves as you can see with some of these other resolutions that seem to be kind of general blanket statements that universally would be rejected that would just go against just because russia passed this so we are seeing a lot of these sentiments going through in terms of the united nations talking about russia violating any sort of provision of the u.n. charter what we're seen actually is. as a u.n.

charter like any legal system there is cry. student following the constitution our charter of sorts there is president there are cases that come after that there are instances circumstances that come after that one such one is voting self-determination of the people which did happen in the case of crimea now i'm not saying that i agree or disagree with that but i am seeing this is sort of somewhat of a. provocation of that issue that's already been resolved we can't go back to what happened or what transpired over over crimea but we did see that the people the will of the people in crimea was to align with russia and that is self-determination which is the memo of the un charter so i think to rehash an issue that is old to talk about things that are now in the region you know the u.n. wants to talk about what's in it here into a charter it needs to talk about maintaining international peace and security that's the main aspect of its charter is to work together with all states with all nations to acknowledge and respect the self-determination which of course is what

a vote would signify and then to maintain that security in the regions that it doesn't so i think any such resolution that sort of starts to starts to kind of build animosity and rehash older issues and of course now sees an escalation of violence or even arms or tension in the region is something that the u.s. needs to look at and say ok how can we deescalate this and maintain peace in the region so about the courage bridge itself and on some levels you have to consider the source the washington examiner is not considered like the stalwart newspaper of record but we did have a journalist claim that the u.s. should blow up the or someone should blow up the courage bridge why is rhetoric like that not being challenged. well that's one of the major problems in the united states i mean with most mainstream media outlets whether or not the washington examiner is considered mainstream which as you said i don't think it is we're seeing a lot of issues with media outlets because there's not

a lot of we're not seeing a lot of media integrity justification going back and demanding certain rules and regulations from our journalist from the people that are are running the media that are out there writing these stories and we need to see that yes we have free speech that should always be upheld and respected very much but at the same time we also have our officers our managers our bosses the people that run these media organizations like the washington examiner need to hold people accountable and if you're talking about somebody that is openly calling for an act of terrorism which unfortunately isn't the only one we've seen in other media outlets not only an act of terrorism an act of violence is purposely demonizing somebody that maybe doesn't have enough sources to provide a story or that's utilizing talking points or narratives just to justify a certain opinion that's not really journalistic integrity and so this person needs to be held to account and that's why we have officers as always i want to talk about this with you for hours upon hours because it is a volatile situation unfortunately we don't have the time jennifer britain and for

being with us on our international. thank you. all right it has been a busy day over at the u.n. over at the security council the debate was on kosovo's move to create its own army a step that could escalate tensions with serbia belgrade said it might even respond with its own military here's some of what was said in that meeting. and the fact i would check on dollar in fact what happened is a totally normal decision in its mission and its purpose it goes through has made a mistake it's only that it waited for five years to establish anatomy of a decision for the army maybe belated recall but in no way it's the wrong one is believed in because we waited for goodwill from those that never showed goodwill towards kosovo but in the bill opposes it this is a blatant violation of security council resolution twelve forty four as the result of the adoption by the pristine assembly of a package of laws and a transformation of the cause of all security forces into

a fully fledged armed forces my question to all of you my dear friends is. from which document from rich article but i got off with all. they'd arrived at the right. role is that written. and i can tell you in advance in advance nowhere. is just an intrapreneur interpretation a very bad interpretation done by some country but done by some countries because it is their own political interests. despite declaring its independence in two thousand and eight cause of all remains are recognized by almost half of un member states here's a brief look back at how those of us conflict with serbia devolved. we

spoke to serbian canadian filmmaker boris some oligocene who says pristina that decision runs the risk of igniting another war in the balkans. it is illegal not only according to serbia russia the un but is also a legal authority to those who have created it so their own constitution and the so-called republic of kosovo and this is a very dangerous move because you have violations of law on several fronts and that is very dangerous because we've seen many. escalations in the past couple of weeks not only just this formation of the army but you've seen the person or authorities in kosovo increase taxes to one hundred percent taxes the products

coming from central serbia and many most serves as we speak our rebellion against this are protesting every day against these taxes and now with the formation of the army it is a very dangerous because if pristina decides to push that army into northern culture that is mostly populated by serbs service president has said that they will we will not watch this. passively that serbia will have to act to protect its people and if that happens of course it cost of all the sides to opt for the military solution to gain control over all of koso because it does not currently control of course all that could plunge the region into a war. russian foreign ministry has lashed out at the b.b.c. calling it senegal after messages were leaked from a correspondent looking into possible connections between moscow and the yellow vest movement in france and one of the reporters messages that she claimed her

editors were quote out for blood well maybe some russian businesses capitalizing greatly on the protests maybe the protest is eating cutlass maybe the far right to ring leaders that i'm looking for angles yes the exit is to months and blood. well the lead to messages were published by russia's ria novosti news agency this comes just a week after a number of media outlets alleged that russian banks or automated accounts were helping to fuel the anger seen on the streets of france the french authorities have launched an investigation into those claims and 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 that 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 or its all we stand by our impartial independent journalism we also asked a b.b.c. russia if it is still looking for connections between moscow and the french protests and whether the correspondent was under pressure to pursue that particularly angle but it declined to comment 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 do they evaluate this kind of compilation of facts that then please of the television and radio companies that do in. we went on to the streets of paris to ask people if they thought russians were somehow interfering everything's possible nowadays. we know of course they are not behind on the man they say the russians are behind the us

presidency as well so you know. of course. but we checked in with a number of journalism groups for comment and will bring you any response if we get that in we also discussed the issue earlier with journalist neil clark and former british politician george galloway. the truth is our media class has allowed itself to become trapped in russell full b.-a when everything about us is falling around our ears luckily the british people are on to them the big revelation over the last couple of weeks is that the british government is using public money to pay for all 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 acme of journalistic impartiality quite to the contrary what i think really it 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 probably 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 angriest establishments in these countries anything that really threatens the status quo or the possibility of a change in direction of the economy or the political system. he's blamed on russia i think the cards being overplayed and do i think it's like the boy who cried wolf just shouting the russians the russians the russians so i go back to this isn't it really and i don't think the public are really buying it and in france people know that there is widespread anger against michael and i think this trying to link it with russia exposing people to. a conspiracy theory says what he what they are saying within the yellow vest protests in france the country's prime minister has admitted in an interview that the government made mistakes in tackling view movement he accepted the authorities had not listened enough to the french people

and meanwhile the t.v. channel france three found itself caught up in a scandal for 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 channel's late evening news broadcast france three blamed human error and said that there had been no intent to hide the sign but people did not believe that excuse on social media open the photo in photoshop by mistake user is a two by mistake they leave out by mistake say 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 taking us for holes. a human error journalists editors the editor in chief the chief information officer all these

people have therefore endorsed the sly with a calm 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 america believes that france three coverage of the event was a clear case of self censorship. of course everything is possible with the government or lacks leeway as it is entangled in such a quagmire but i suppose it's small self censorship a kind of put into objection of censorship and then censorship from above so what the mainstream media entrance try to to conceal is that though the yellow vests

wants me to resign last saturday and they were all carrying that kind of card it's true that cannot make you turn 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 in such a despair. start international stay with us. if

we have a new trade arrangements with china that may build a new foundation for more stable relations i think broadly the if there is a us has a problem in accepting the rise of china no matter what they do. feel asia all movement is going. bankers. are. rightfully seen as the enemy full stop. are welcome back to start international and british prime minister treason may have said the much anticipated vote on her brags a deal will now take place in the third week of january just weeks before the

country is due to walk through the e.u.'s exit door but the opposition labor leader jeremy corbyn is still slamming her deals unacceptable and accusing the pm of leading the country into a national crisis another vote which would to a record would damage the integrity of all politics because it would say to millions who trusted him to vote for say the baltimore procedures not to defrock. another vote which would likely leave us no further full wood for the nogs and another vote which would further divide our country at the very moment we should be working to unite mr speaker we face. an unprecedented situation the prime minister has led us into a national crisis standing out the dispatch box 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 told the prime minister had reached rock bottom but she still didn't get it was thursday it will

be one hundred days until britain leave 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 bookmakers has been offering sixty six to warn against passing parliament could it be you know we cabinet ministers that would know and preparing for a referendum are not being disloyal to her but simply better at math yes. our liberal democrat leader events cable who you just saw there was referring to reports that cabinet members are plotting moves towards a second referendum this comes after former leaders john major and tony blair have also backed calls for another vote on his point michael has 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 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 pro relievers who are adamantly against this plan now the prime minister herself has been attempting to all these various rumors and especially talk of a second referendum in fact a spokesperson has just denied just tools but then again her spokesperson did deny that cancellation of the parliamentary vote on her braids 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 brags that and to have a second referendum 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 resign 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. 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 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 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 resit deal what it looks dead in the watering 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 brags that 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 will 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 are 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 that are 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. senior politics lecturer at lancaster university mark garnett believes most arguments

being made against another referendum like 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 one of the party 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 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 the 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 a second referendum. intelligence agencies are designed to
