but the big story is going to be from the from. the search for survivors of a deadly apartment block collapse in the russian city of magnitogorsk has been suspended emergency workers are trying to prevent further collapse of the sides freezing temperatures are diminishing hopes of finding anyone alive. united states exits the un's culture and heritage wing the latest in a string of international accords abandoned by the trump administration. the french president takes a swipe at extreme elements among anti-government demonstrators in his traditional new year's eve speech. and the world over people have been assuring him twenty nineteen there's just hawaii left we have the highlights of the festivities in moscow and around the globe.

a very warm welcome and a happy new year to you from all of us here at r.t. international thanks for joining us this morning however it's a somber new year's day in the central russian city of magnitogorsk people there was still coming to terms with the tragic collapse of an apartment block in the early hours of monday morning at least eight people died in the fate of dozens more remain unknown.

the search and rescue operation in magnates of course has been suspended teams there are trying to secure the remainder of the building against further collapse our correspondent don off was at the scene earlier this morning. the rescue and search operation is still ongoing as you can clearly see behind me in fact it hasn't stopped for a minute and the rescuers worked overnight searching for anybody who could still be trapped under the rubble now the figure of people still unaccounted for stands at thirty seven so it has slightly climbed up from yesterday new estimates have come in those people still haven't made contact with the rescuers here although all around us we can see signs saying please if you lived if you if you were housed in

one of the collapsed parts of the building please do make contact and there are telephone numbers here written as well in fact so well the buildings around here they stand with shattered blas so really you can clearly see all around here how powerful the explosion was so far the total of five survivors have been recovered from the rubble among them a teenage boy who used to live on the third floor and who was saved rescued just an hour into the tragedy the russian president vladimir putin this spoke with him on monday on the condition. of. the. treasury. the british she came up with their fifty two week. to try to bring to. this is as close as we were allowed to get here by the

emergency ministry workers in fact if you just look carefully enough you can see the crane over there which is the right now it looks like holding up the concrete plates of the building that still stands and that is because really we're being told the day the risk of very grave danger that other parts of this residential building might collapse hence we couldn't really get. any closer and right now we're being moved even away. to all trying used his new year speech to list the achievements of his administration he took the opportunity to praise the deals he's struck but and misses most of the agreements he broke there is never been an administration and i'm very proud of this that's done more than the trumpet ministration in the first

two years of office we made a deal with mexico we made a deal with canada we made that deal with south korea and then you look at north korea we're doing really well we moved our embassy to jerusalem in israel. one of the broken records that wasn't mentioned was the decision by the united states and israel to leave the un's culture and heritage organization after years of bitsa wrangling washington announced its intention to leave us go in october accusing the agency of israel bias that's now come into force. on the twelfth of october two thousand and seventeen the department of state notified unesco directed general it mean a bulk of the u.s. decision to withdraw from their goodness nation and to seek to establish a permanent observer mission to unesco this decision was not taken lightly and reflects his concerns with the mountaineer be in the need for fundamental reform in their going is ation and containing anti israel liason. now at this point that we

can review that in twenty seventeen there was outcry from the united states and israel when unesco designated a hebron the city in the west bank designated as a world historical site now there is a contested area in the center of that city to muslims it's the ibrahimi mosque to jews it's the cave of patriarchs and at that point we saw some loud outcry from the united states and from israel now it's important to note that this isn't the first time that we've heard accusations of a pro palestinian bias from the usa and from israel and twenty eleven when the body officially recognized a state of palestine at that point the usa and israel both stopped paying dues to unesco they were then stripped of their voting rights in two thousand and thirteen after having not paid their dues so at this point we see the united states carrying out a policy that its long carried out which is when it doesn't like certain international

accords and agreements or international bodies it simply withdraw let's review the united states we withdraw from the optional protocol in dispute resolution to the vienna convention on diplomatic relations the united states is officially withdrawing from the un human rights council we will not cooperate with the i.c.c. we will provide no assistance to the i.c.c. baseless politicize claims are brought against us hypocritical bodies and institution unjust prosecution by this illegitimate court the council ceases to be . why are they have it's name we will commence a review of all international agreements that may still expose the united states to purported binding jurisdiction dispute resolution in the international court of justice so the united states continues to withdraw from international bodies and international agreements in response to decisions it does not approve of peter

galbraith a full made us ambassador to creation have believed america's withdrawal from international agreements and overnight patients will eventually be. so this is entirely political step you know everyone has to be pointed out that we already have it is that so many of these institutions the united nations the international court of justice were ones that were created the human rights were created by the united states the united states to leave. and now we withdraw but also this constant from a very good sized ministration a very extreme one one i have to point out that lost the election by three million votes and based on the midterm results is not likely to be around it after twenty twenty five and so very likely these decisions will then be reversed so my advice to the rest of the world is take a deep breath and america will be back. french president mcclellan has used his

traditional new year's eve speech to slam extremist elements in the country. mina's of all see we have perience great division and anger broke out anger against injustices against the course of a sometimes in comprehensible globalization against an administrative system that's become too complex and lacking in empathy there was also anger against profound changes that call into question our society's identity and direction this anger has shown me one thing no matter how excessive or overflowing it is we will not quit. opposition leaders have criticised mccann's message calling him an imposter and saying that he's out of touch with the french people authorities in paris were prime's to tackle more and west on new year's eve with twelve thousand police officers on standby in the end very few protesters turned out and those that did were blocks from joining celebrations and such were paris aymeric bournville

a french publisher and writer warns of more demonstrations in the new year. with all the blunders the government and especially the m.p.'s are making i don't see any soothing of the situation this movement through of course continue into two thousand and nineteen the movement is so popular it was seventeen eighty percent of the french support them all approval movements that it is not excluded that especially in the provinces which armed guards or even who spent. more in common with the protestors and with the officials in paris because become most sympathetic with their cause and refused to execute orders eminent mccraw embodies what the yellow best rejects globalization and pro-business policies in a way he cannot really given without stopping did what he he is he's lacking leeway in his sorts through to diffuse the crisis in the midst of december by announcing

ten billion euro package of measures which was which which was not really convincing france was had by anti-government protests for much of twenty eighteen starting from demonstrations against labor forms to the latest yellow vests protests over fuel taxes paris correspondence holiday bensky recaps events. hake this infamous praise often attributed to mary on twitter has been used to demonstrate new blood livius nurse the selfishness of france's elites which in turn led to the french revolution now the attribution may be misguided but the lesson isn't if you can wall the cries of the social classes or you mock them you do so at your own peril. the current french president should have seen it long ago as unrest has been bubbling throughout two thousand and eighteen.

things started to turn nasty as the french government attempted to a victim and she community that they. pool at eight. it's a christie six zero should be the satisfaction of. the talks will be people are just joking people meanwhile calling for dismissing this should should be built this period he must be evacuated will be back during the month that is if you feel the public really need it must be respect. mayhem first reached paris in spring over my corns reform plans all may first

violence quickly spilled over and dozens were arrested. but the penny still didn't drop from my colleagues spend the summer offering advice to all who will listen in raging. the country in the process is to give it to these lutheran people who've lived through transformations in recent years i'm not exactly ghouls who are resistant to change. notes diplomatic he doesn't know how to talk to people he cannot say about all of people all of the nations it's just like on both sides to the foreigners and to people like french people comes down to. come find you a job by crossing the road. yeah you don't say that to people people are really struggling to easy deciding when you don't have

a problem how can even your job it think that everybody can do it just by working out crossing the street bed it's not real life it's just a very rich get out service just sort of it's not great to say things like that to french people people aren't precarious situations i think it's quite ridiculous for a president to be so far from reality so by the time he told pensioners to come claiming the french. had come pocketful of him to keep the students on the general shoulder cool told me you can speak freely the only thing we have the right is to complain the country would be different if everyone did the same. staying stuck trying to people in france you don't see people to stop complaining specially in france people that complain all the time we love that it's causing. arrogance i think a little aggressive you know. there's no other word for me in the good old french

spirit of things anger and resentment towards the mind often described as the president of the rich really poor without a by nov seventeenth they had had enough. to. see the crazy on the streets of greece. take your squashes. cold calling making stupid offered an olive branch to many to list to withhold two legs from the yellow best small still don't call me a new role the rules of play to win for the expected two thousand the like you and could still see no limit for government at the boiling point in the. paris. cake yeah. it's delicious. and to most it's come after this very short break.

a great price that's what. three of the four people. interested in the water. pressure. welcome back in the u.k. counterterrorism police have launched an investigation after a man stabbed three people including a police officer in manchester in northwest england. as i spoke with her south and a lot while police arrested him officers used a taser and pepper spray to subdue the man he's have not confirmed whether the

prime minister has been in close contact with european leaders over the holiday period to seek assurances she's faced a serious challenge to her leadership over the past couple of monies. countries before you believe in the world until the deal has a deal has been ratified it is the responsible position of government and it is it would be the responsible position of any government to put in place contingency arrangements for no deal no do y'all would reduce sastre for our country and no responsible government would ever allow each i know it's christmas i know it's not to be stocking down the chimney on top of christmas tree this still hasn't found. the prime minister who is supposed to be undertaking a negotiation with the prime minister the trial to bring an acceptable deal but why doesn't the prime minister stop the pretense and stop wasting four billion pounds

in a cynical attempt to drive good deeply damaging do you all through this house. is a right honorable gentleman doesn't want to see money being spent on no deal he's got an easy answer for this. while parliament pressures for changes to the deal the european council president has made it clear that the e.u. doesn't want any more negotiations. the union stands for a disagreement and intends to for a fee do is itself the fic ation it's not open for you like a fish and there's growing dissatisfaction in the u.k. over the briggs's situation throughout the year there have been waves of protests the biggest one happened at the end of october when more than seven hundred thousand people rallied in london to demand a second referendum political commentator john white think that to raise the may is now trying to use the countdown to brag that as a weapon against parliament i think the idea that there would be no brakes there is

on the table no i said as not being in the last two years of these torturous negotiations but we have knows a crisis is mature to the point where to get a consensual camps no domini the issue which is those who advocate heartbreaks and those who are pushing for a second referendum the so-called people who do need music in the country is that they two surveys deal is a loss of all worlds it doesn't satisfy anyone it's only an eighty eight everyone on board says of the issues in opposition to her and that she's trying to use time when are say really you know that taim is running out march twenty ninth as a mark for. the e.u. but she's trying to weaponize tank to leverage more pressure on the tory tory our precious years and our backbench is. a plot that wouldn't be out of place in the t.v. blockbuster game of thrones has been unfolding in singapore it's being revealed that the brother of the current prime minister has been financially supporting

a longtime government critic and he says that they picked up the story. the new year to see family and loved ones getting together to enjoy festivities and celebrations right perhaps not so much at the top level of politics in singapore meets the prime minister and his rival brother and sister whose family quarrels a well known in the country recently the leaders brothers been supporting this blogger has found himself in brawls in the scathing battle with the pm it all started after the blogger posted a seemingly offensive article on facebook it claims the former leader of neighboring malaysia had signed secret deals in exchange for singapore's banks helping to launder money out of malaysia's state coffers accusations the singapore ian prime minister strongly denies the blogger is now facing defamation charges as the two prepared to fight it out in the courts in times of need you would think you could turn to your family for support but as the prime minister's brother is

instead helping the blogger pay his hefty legal fees he sent me a message that he has drawn support lo and behold the first one to do so into my account the sibling was of a safe when questioned about the actual amounts donated simply stating it was a meaningful some when pressed further joked it's not one dollar we might not know the amounts but we do know this is a prime example of a lengthy family feud ass's the dispute over this colonial era bungalow that belonged to the late father and the country's first prime minister who wanted the property demolished after his death the coral got so bad it's his brother publicly accused him of misusing his position for personal gain but the prime minister denies putting self interests before good governance. regarding the. continued existence and haunches my war as prime minister. if i meet

a trench magic paper to some are stranded after thirteen years as our prime minister must be in a pretty. sidestreet the people of singapore were also reassured that disputes wouldn't distracts from more important national issues over the last week a singaporean so have been disturbed and confused by news of the private dispute between my siblings and me i deeply regret that this dispute has affected singapore's reputation and singapore ians confidence in the government much as i would like to move on and the most unhappy experience for singapore ians these baseless accusations against the government cannot be left unanswered they must be and will be dealt with openly and refuted but within an identified some in the blackest back pockets and as legal proceedings continue the least siblings will have to put their differences aside if they're to stop the public from speculating on any further family quarrels. people the world over have been assuring in
