because the future. baby boy is rescued from the collapse of the palm a block in the russian city. after spending nearly thirty four hours on the road. british police say they're treating a stabbing incident which injured three at a major railway station on new year's eve as a telegram late in. culture and heritage wait the latest in a string of international calls abandoned by the company minister. spectacular welcome to twenty nine thousand.

and a happy new year for me and a team here at the altar new center and mosque i want to call in bright's now at seven pm we're going to suffer some good news this new year's day from the devastation and magnitogorsk a baby boy has been pulled alive from the rubble of that collapsed apartment block in the central russian city the building was devastated by a suspected gas explosion in the early hours of monday morning.

one of the rescuers had a child crying so we stopped all of the machinery to listen in we were saying to keep quiet and the baby was reacting and kept silent we started asking where are you the baby started responding to you we started working there but there was risk of further collapse we were afraid as the baby was asking for help. the baby said to be in a very serious condition and is being sent to moscow for treatment reports now from the nato goes right now i'm right outside the hospital where the medics are fighting for the life of the eleven month old vanya yes imagine spending more than thirty hours under the rubble in his crib when it's minus twenty celsius outside really the rescuers are telling us that it is just because the baby was wrapped in very warm blankets this is essentially what saved diviners life so the moment van his parents learned that their youngest son is alive they rushed to this hospital

and we talked to them their. new film it's. one of those russian bit of a he's on in iraq is you. know really is the first time most of them. this isn't a marker you know. but perhaps the most incredible thing about this whole rescue this is that it was called the making of dad's hands because he was at work when the disaster when the tragedy unraveled he came back to where he used to live and he really wanted to shill because he had an idea as to where the baby my degree and he wanted to show rescue support but because of the whole place was cordoned off and because of the very grave risk of the demolition of the building he wasn't allowed to vote for a very long time eventually he told me he had to sneak into to tell the world

rescuers that that approximate area where his son could be and he got a number of one of the rescuers and do you know that very rescue and did manage to extract his son from under the rubble give a call to the dad this is one of the families in the their stories one of the stories that struck the. industrial city in russia's euros we talked to other survivors who two other residents of this building who were affected by the tragedy have to do now is a day before our cat called out all you know the next day he says a left part of the block had fallen down i was sleeping when i heard holy boom we were at home but we're supposed to have gone there too my mom was supposed to be at home that day but it's a last moments ago today are your pup of on your my daughter called me at seven fifteen in the morning and told me that our entrance had been destroyed. when i went down i saw it was in ruins but my wife was rescued by firefighters with

a ladder. as of now emergency services have had to put to a halt all operations outside the building because they say the danger that the other parts of the building might collapse are just too high for them to continue what they were doing you know so right now the figures are the total of eight bodies have been recovered and well more than thirty people still remain missing we will be keeping you up to date on this. it goes down after well over a thousand people were evacuated from their homes following the collapse of that building here's what some of the witnesses have said about the disaster.

british police have confirmed that they are treating a stabbing attack at a major rail hub in manchester in northern england as a terrorist incident three people were injured including a police officer on new year's eve. we are treating this as a terrorist investigation which is being led by counter-terrorism officers with support from greater manchester police. the suspect was heard shouting allahu akbar while police arrested him officers used a taser and pepper spray to subdue the man who's now in custody the three wounded people suffered serious but not life threatening injuries the police officer has

now been released from hospital. trump used his new year's speech to list what he views as the achievements of his administration he took the opportunity to praise the deals he struck but neglected to mention most of the agreements he broke. there's 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 accords that wasn't mentioned was the decision by the united states and israel to leave the un's culture and heritage organization of the years of bitter wrangling washington announced its intention to leave us go in october accusing the agency of anti israel bias now the move 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. the need for fundamental reform in their going is ation and continuing anti israel license unesco 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 in two thousand and eleven when

the nasco 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 it's. 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 politicized claims are brought against us hypocritical bodies and his situation i'm just prosecution by this illegitimate court to counsel ceases to be worthy of its 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 and i'm open that well former u.s. ambassador peter galbraith believes that america's withdrawal from international agreements and organizations will eventually be reversed. so this this is entirely political step you know anyone has pointed out that we already have that is that so many of these institutions the united nations the international court of justice were ones that were created a human rights were created by the united states the united states to the league. and now we withdraw but also this concept from a very good sized ministration are 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 in. the north korean leader meanwhile delivered a stern warning to the united states in his new year's address kim jong un said that while his country is still intent on denuclearizing washington must lift sanctions if it wants to see further progress. if the u.s. does not keep its promise made in front of the whole world i misjudged patience and didn't see sanctions and pressures on a republic we might be left with no choice but to consider a new way to safeguard our sovereignty and interests and establish peace and stability on the korean peninsula. the relations between the united states and north korea have been improving since june when kim jong un met with donald trump

in singapore for that historic summit and promised to work towards denuclearization in exchange for concessions from the united states but washington is yet to ease its economic pressure on pyongyang which is being at hard by the sanctions regime during his speech kim jong un also called on south korea to end its joint military drills with the united states. let's get the thoughts now of joseph chang a hong kong based political scientist welcome back to r.t. this new year's day brinkmanship we'd all expect i suppose but what do you make of kim jong un's new year's speech will he make good on stalling the denuclearization process. well. probably angry. is that it would be. free and insistent that. the new. be or the united way the international sanctions are

going on there is no discussion no promise. arrangements and certainly the you know the international community but not career to bring in who are the thing the board and the. summit. and the whole. the united states north korea. so career woman is to me happy and ready to offer a. little trump says another summit with kim could take place in february what are the chances of that going ahead and if it does what should be the priorities that. well basically there must be detail parade to work through that more concrete retells to be released and to complete details you probably have to do with some

kind of state by state arrangements so that there will be profit be in mutual concessions as i was saying. the kim jong un regime certain the light too we open the cane zone industrial complex operate their career then to welcome south korean to risk to north korea you know these measures are quite acceptable to to sold to them and in government but the moon government has not been able to deliver exactly because all the notes from the ministries and the insistence that economic terms and not be lifted to complete station has been complete has been a process that's been prevented and what about the joint military drills that are

conducted between south korea and the united states the north korea wants those ended in a way that would solve two things it would get the united states off north korea's doorstep it would also help ease the foreign relations between north and south korea what do you think south korea's appetite is for abandoning those drills would it feel exposed or would it be ready to walk away from what. i do could be that the moon government career is quite ready to consider some poles by. the many all show in the. military. but obviously both the united states and south korea will not accept any. vision of the. arrangement and basically. yes. possibly you could. but

the basic. problem that needs to challenge is for washington d.c. . to reach some kind of concrete state that. they will concessions all the. completion of the new crises and. well if ever there's a day for wishful thinking it's new year's day hope springs eternal. in hong kong thanks for that thank you. japan. after the break.

protect themselves. in the final. we can all middle of the room.

hello again the authorities in japan say a minivan was deliberately driven revelers in central tokyo just minutes into the new year the attack left nine people injured one of them in a critical condition it happened in a tourist hot spot known for its fashion and pop culture police arrested a twenty one year old japanese man the driver hit a people aged between one thousand and fifty one while traveling the wrong way down a one way street the vehicle then crashed into a building the driver fled the scene but police apprehended him in a park around thirty minutes later local media say the suspect told police that he tended to be a terror attack. it's been a rocky ride for the british prime minister and her breaks a deal and she seized on the opportunity of her new year's speech to rally support new year is a time to look ahead and in two thousand and ninety the u.k. will start a new chapter the brakes it. delivers on the verge of the bush people in the next

few weeks and these will have an important decision to make if parliament backs the deal britain can turn a corner but breaks it still hangs in the balance according to the international trade secretary minister liam fox is urging britons to get behind the prime minister or face the unknown reality of a no deal when the country leaves the e.u. . as mrs may said m.p.'s are due for a vote on that do it in january downing street says the prime minister has been in close contact with european leaders over the holiday period to seek assurances it's also faced a serious challenge to her leadership over the past couple of months restored actually cure until the deal has a day or 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 redesign aster for our country and no responsible government would ever allow it i know it's christmas i know it's not to

be stocking down the chimney and not christmas tree this still hasn't found. its the prime minister who is supposed to be undertaking a negotiation. is the prime minister they're trying to bring in acceptable deal but why doesn't the prime minister stop the pretense and stop wasting four billion pounds in a cynical attempt to drive her deeply damaging deal through this house. is the 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 made it clear that the e.u. doesn't want any more negotiations from the union stands for a disagreement intends to proceed to as its certification it's not open for. was growing dissatisfaction in the u.k. over the break situation throughout the year there have been waves of protest the

biggest happened at the end of october where more than seven hundred thousand rallied in london to demand a second referendum political commentator john white thinks the reason may is now trying to use the countdown to brecht's it as a weapon against parliament. the idea that there will be no bricks or realty will know as it has not been in the last two years of these torturous negotiations. but we have no as a crisis as mature to the point here to better console who counts no dominique the issue which is those who advocate heartbreaks and those who are pushing for a second referendum a sukkot people who need music in the country is that they too easily is deal is a loss of all worlds it doesn't satisfy anyone it's only in one thousand eight everyone on both sides of the issue in opposition to her and that she's trying to use time on her say rino that tain is running out march twenty ninth as the earmarks for the arch of the e.u. but she's trying to weaponize tank to leverage more pressure on the tory tory

howard precious years and i doubt benches. felt that wouldn't be out of place on the t.v. blockbuster game of thrones has been unfolding in singapore it's been revealed that the prime minister's younger brother has been financially supporting a long time government critic and he picks 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 blog has found himself in brawls in a scathing battle with the pm it all started off to 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 because they sure as the

singapore and 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 bloke pay his hefty legal fees he sent me a message that he's transferred lo and behold the first one to do so into my account the sibling was of a safe when questioned about the actual amount stalemated 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 hans's michael moore as prime minister. is very media trash magic properties to some are starting off with thirteen years as prime minister must be in a pretty. sidestreet the people of singapore will all say reassurance that disputes what distracts from more important. over the last week singaporeans 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 end a most unhappy experience for singapore he ends these baseless accusations against the government cannot be left unanswered they must be and will be dealt with openly and refuted but it's within and 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 . pretty nineteen is here and taken the reins around the world people from all walks of life have been welcoming in the new here little in countries in the middle east prosperous europe new year's celebrations hold a very special place in the hearts of russians today there are some the best moments from around the globe. i. i. was i.

i. i. i i. i. i. i i don't a few people having a quite dated iraq that's it from a column by this january the first twenty ninety seven i was got your next new year's day update after the concert. when else truths seem wrong. but old clothes just don't hold. the world

to get to shape out just a you can stick out to it and in detroit because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter you have over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes have been each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three 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 number you need

to remember is one in one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only boom but. it's hard to imagine the decades after the war a nazi don't tell was still active and rich in the nineteen seventies current intel had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery at auschwitz a german company grown until it developed so the demise a drug that was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy it turned out to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby is anything ball. she said is just cut short arms many so they don't mind victims i have to this day received no compensation they never apologized for the suffering that i did not only want the money i want the revenge.

it's january first twenty ninth day how the new year out there time for some major predictions for the following twelve months guaranteed to be one hundred percent accurate stacie one resent wrong you mean because predictions it's impossible to predict the future and that's one thing to always know about stock markets whenever anybody tells you that they know where the price is going to go they're wrong because nobody knows i also want to say that we're going to do three of these episodes over the course of this week because it's part of our theme for twenty nineteen the kaiser report is going to step back a little bit and look at bigger pictures rather than chasing the headlines because you know when we travel a lot what i notice is that the cable news and that's the only time we watch the

cable news and in america it's m s n b c fox and c.n.n. and they're hyper vague ventilating chickens they're just screaming and screaming about whatever outrageous tweet trunk sent that day or or whatever outrageous event happened that day but it all adds up to nothing because nobody ever steps back and looks at the big picture of all the headlines added up of course across days and weeks and months the sound of the fear sic defining nothing so with that i want to look at what i think are going to be some of the big themes in twenty nineteen some of them are a continuation on things that happened in two thousand and eighteen so for me i felt like the biggest story of twenty eighteen was also the most overlooked story of twenty eighteen and that's when germany actually or some german officials said that they were going to start looking at and building an alternative to swift we.
