live from the russian capital this is international the top story. the baby boy has been pulled alive from the rubble of that skirts the part of the block in the central russian city of magnetic arsk the building was devastated by a suspected gas explosion in the early hours of midday warning. to. use

a spot in the us a little but one of the rescuers heard a child crying we stopped all the machinery to listen in as we were saying to keep quiet and the baby was reacting in camp silence you can't walk up so we started asking where are you then there was a noise we started working there that there was a risk of further collapse we were afraid if the child was crying for help. our correspondent don of spoke to the parents of the rescued baby in magnitogorsk hospital right now i'm right outside the hospital where the medics are fighting for the life of the 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 defined as life so the moment vanya as parents learnt that

their youngest son is alive they rushed to this hospital and we talked to them there steve a new film that's just. in the region discussion for release on iraq is just one. no really is the first and i'm not. sure this is a good marker. 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 is sport but because of the whole place was cordoned off and because of 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 would 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 this industrial city in russia as you are as we talked to other survivors who two other residents of this building who were affected by the tragedy today. is a day before iraq had called out all you know the next day the left part of the block had fallen down obviously only boom we were at home but we're supposed to my mom was supposed to be. like it's a last moments ago today are a number 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 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. the ten month old boy is said to be in a very serious condition and has been sent to a moscow hospital for a fare the treatments russia's emergencies ministry says nine people and now known to have diets more than thirty others are reportedly missing over thousand people were evacuated from their homes following the collapse of the building here's what more of the witnesses have had said about what they went through.

the second explosion rocks mine minutes ago choose the evening this time on the minibus three people have reportedly died the incident is said to have taken place on the same streets where the building collapsed on monday police and emergency services have been deployed to the scene the cause of the explosion is currently

unknown place and now investigating. british police have confirmed that they are treating a stabbing attack at a major rail hub in manchester 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 counterterrorism offices with support from grace and i just replace. the suspect to his head shouting while place arrested him over says he used a taser and pepper spray to subdue the man who is now in custody the three wounded people suffered serious but not life threatening injuries the police officer has now been released from hospital. apart from the attack in manchester an incident in the german safeties of by truck in essence is being classified as terrorism by police five people were left in shit the suspect is a fifty year old german man who slammed his car into

a crowd of people say the majority of the victims with migrants from syria. is reported the driver made santa fe big comments while the place where arresting him police also suspect the man has a mental illness german media also equated habit to rule the top security official in north rhine-westphalia state who said that the man had the clear intention to kill forwardness we asked for u.k. police officer pizza kirkham for his reaction. we have to address the reasons why people are wanting to attack whether it's a terrorist motivated or hate most about it. and we still better have a few people who get through through the nuts as well and it's really difficult from the intelligence point of view where people are just working on their own whether it's not go to any organization when i have to travel or laugh or try to

when i haven't spoken to anybody in particular it's radicalized that it is almost impossible intelligence wise to gain. and so these are really difficult things to deal with and i'm afraid. that carries out the back if you want to terms of how much damage you can do. it should not and i am nor a vehicle i suspect i don't see more and more of these things happening. in france president micron used his new year speech to his house extremist elements in the country. i mean there's a whole see we have perience great division and anger broke out to 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 of this anger has shown me one thing no matter how excessive or overflowing it is we will not

quit the building micron's message didn't go down well with opposition leaders who called him an imposter and accused him of being out of touch with the french people the authorities in paris where private attack or more unrest on new year's eve with twelve thousand place officers on standby in the end very few protestors tent out and they were blocks from joining the celebrations in central paris french public or fair i'm rick one veiled predicts the demonstrations will soon receding. with all the blunders the government and the especially the peace making i don't see any soothing of the situation this movement through would of course continue into two thousand and nineteen the movement is so popular between seventeen eighty percent of the french support them all approval movements that it is not excluded that especially in the provinces john barb's or even policemen who have more in common

with the protesters and with the officials in paris because become sympathetic with their cause and refused to execute orders eminent mccraw embodies what the yellow vests rejects globalization and pro-business policies in a way he cannot really given without stopping did what he is he's lacking leeway in his sorts through to diffuse the crisis in its december by announcing a ten billion euro package of measures which was which which was not so really convincing. france was hit by antigovernment protests for much of twenty eighteen starting from demonstrations against labor forms the latest yellow vests protest over fuel taxes up our space correspondent charted to be recapped the advance. hake this infamous phrase often treated to marry 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. less than 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. for a decade. it's a protest against expulsion the status of.

the talks will be eco are just joking but meanwhile the call for dismissing these should should be built this period it must be evacuated will be back during the morning if you feel the public really need it must be respect. mayhem first reached paris in spring over my calls for reform plans all may first violence quickly spilled over and dozens were arrested. but the penny bill didn't drop by the last call he spent the summer offering advice to all who would listen to him raging the country in the process he said. giving these lutheran people who've lived through transformations in recent years

i'm not exactly ghouls who are resistant to change. i know it's diplomatic he doesn't know how to talk to people he cannot say about all of people all of the nations it's just bad luck on both sides to the foreigners and to the people like french people comes down. to come find you a job by crossing the road oh yeah you don't say that you people people are really struggling to be easy to sign when you don't have a problem how can even our 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 you just want it's not great to say things like that to french people and people aren't precarious situations i think it's quite ridiculous for a president to be so far from realities like that so by the time he told potential still contemplating the french. had come pocketful of him because i think if you do things on the general shoulder cool told me you can speak freely the only thing

we can do is have the right is to clear 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 the people that complain all the time we love that it's causing. arrogance i think a little aggressive you know. there is no other word in the good old french spirit of things anger and resentment towards the man often described as the president of the rich really poor without a body over several g. they had had enough of. it we should be crazy on the streets of paris. oh. take your squashes who was called finally conceded offered an olive branch for many it

was to withhold too late from the yellow best small children don't call me a new role the rules of play to win for the expected two thousand the like you could still see a role in the french government if the boy lives we can leave. paris . the cake yeah. it's delicious. the north korean leader meanwhile delivered a stern warning to the u.s. in his new year's address kim jong un said that while his country is still intent on denuclearizing washington miss lifting sanctions if it wants to see further progress. inside is a human dictionary to keep that if the u.s. does not keep its promise made in front of the whole world and misjudges our patience and insists sanctions and pressures on our republic we may 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. relations between the united states and north korea have been improving since june when kim jong un met with donald trump in singapore for a historic summit he promised to work towards the nuclearize ation in exchange for security guarantees as a commitment to peace from the u.s. but it's washington is yet to ease its economic pressure on p.r. again which is being hit hard by the sanctions regime kim jong un and also used his speech to call on south korea to end its joint military drills with the u.s. political analyst told us that washington does need to make some concessions if it wants north korea to continue one is path towards denuclearization. administration . in this race in the world we. experience shows that. changing tactics maintaining

sessions even if. you insist is giving up. on the part of the world if they see that. the kind of the. tension over the north korean. expect to see some. of the socialist that that's what explains the warning of each other. still to come on r.t. president trump's new year's speech was a long list of his claim to come placements but he fell to mention some of his more questionable the. fissions of twenty eighteen to tell you about it after the break .

you know world of big partisan movies lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. the new year out there time for some major predictions following twelve months guaranteed to be one hundred percent accurate. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

welcome back to. donald trump used his new year speech to list what his he views as the achievements of his administration it took me a opportunity to praise the deals he struck but make up to 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 then you look at north korea we're doing really well we moved our embassy to jerusalem in israel i promised it and i did it one of the broken accords that wasn't mentioned was the decision by the united states and israel salif the un's culture and heritage organization of

two years of beta rankling washington announced its intention to leave unesco in saber accusing the agency of anti israel bias now the me if has come into force. on the twelfth of october two thousand and seventeen the department of state notified us co-directed general it mean a bulk of the us 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 being the need for fundamental reform and they're going to say sion 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 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 politicize claims are brought against us there are critical bodies and institution unjust prosecution by this illegitimate corps the council ceases to be . 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. for me last time passed that pay take out and leaves america's withdrawal from international agreements and organizations will eventually pay revestive. so this is an entirely political step you know i do it has to be pointed out that we already have that is that so many of these institutions the united nations the international court of justice who are ones that were created the human rights were

created by the united states of the united states to lead. and now we withdraw but also this concept from a very with a sized ministration or 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 this is take a deep breath and america will be back. twenty nineteen has arrived and has received a warm welcome from around the welt people from old supply have rung in the new yes from the middle east to the capital city already here celebrations hold a very special place in the hot suppressions here are some of the best may members from around the calais.

america to find what makes america the schalit is the genius of this place especially american hero this is it we've come a point around which alan would have done something we always are on the bridge just a lot of this old song culture. we're starting last with is going to headed east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the beast i think i want to leave now doesn't get any more gonzo the next may be completely different but the end of this jet. ski. nobody could see coming that false confessions would be that in the spot the wishbone full coverage looks at any interrogation out there what you'll see is threat promise threat promise threat lie a lie a lie the process of interrogation is designed to put people in just that frame of mind make the uncomfortable make them want to get out and don't take no for an

answer don't accept their denials she said if i would. say on the statement that i would be home by that time the next day there's a culture on accountability and police officers know that they can engage in misconduct that has nothing to do with solving their crime. would. be put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and she. wanted. to go right to the press this is what the before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the ones in the. best suit.
