was i was. the baby boy is rescued from the collapse apartment block in the russian city of magnitogorsk after spending nearly thirty four hours in the rubble. and stabbing at u.k. rail station and a vehicle attack in jamey being considered terror related by local authorities both incidents left several people wind it. the french president's takes a swipe at six tree man elements among antigovernment demonstrators in his new year's eve address. to the world spectacular welcome for twenty nine team travelers have been ushering in the new year and we've got some of the highlights.

you're watching aussie international with me i'm isha sesay welcome to the program our top story a baby boy has been pulled alive from the rubble of that collapsed apartment block in the central russian city of magnitogorsk the building was devastated by a suspected gas explosion in the early hours of monday morning.

you know. one of the rescuers heard a child crying if we stopped all the machinery to listen in as we were saying to keep quiet and the baby was reacting and kept silent we started asking where are you then there was a noise we started working there there was a risk of further collapse we were afraid as the child was crying for help. well correspondents say goshdarn 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 van 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. the bullshit russian bit of a he's on in iraq is you. know really is this the first time much of. this is in the year. but perhaps the most incredible thing about this whole rescue 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 gave 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's urals we to. two other survivors who two other residents of this building who were affected by the tragedy she got out nice the day before our cats called out all you know the next day the left part of the block had fallen down i was sleeping when i heard only boom we were at home but we're supposed to have gone there to my mom was supposed to be in time on that day but it's a last moments ago today all. 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 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 said to be in a very serious condition has been sent to a moscow hospital for fear the treatments russia's emergencies ministry says nine people and am known to have died more than thirty others are reportedly missing ever thousand people were evacuated from their homes following the collapse of the building here's what more of the witnesses have said about what they went through.

the second explosion rocks mine met a score to stay evening this time on a minibus three people have reportedly died the incident is said to have taken place on the same street where the building collapsed on monday place an emergency services have been deployed to the scene the cause of the explosion is currently unknown place is still investigating. british police have

concerns that they are treating a stopping 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 all treating this as a terrorist investigation which is being led by comes terrorism offices with support from grace munches to police. the suspect was head shouting allah akbar while police arrested him offices 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 cities of betrayal and s. and is being classified as terrorism by police five people were left engine it. the suspect is a fifty year old german man who slammed his car into

a crowd of people choose day the majority of victims were migrants from syria and afghanistan it's reported the driver made senna phobic comments while the place where arresting him police also suspects the man has a mental illness german media also quoted habits roll the top security official in north rhine-westphalia state who said that the man had being clear intention to kill foreign as we asked former u.k. police officer peter cook for his reaction. we have to address the reasons why people are wanting to attack whether it's terrorist motivated or hate most about it. and we still better have a few people that will get through through the next as well and it's really difficult from the intelligence point of view weapon. just working on their own whether or not got any organization when i have to travel anywhere to try to where they haven't spoken to anybody in particular it's radicalized that it is almost

impossible intelligence wise to gain civil war. and so these are really difficult things to deal with and i'm afraid now that the cat is out the back if you want to terms of how much damage you can do to an awful lot i'm nor a vehicle. are suspect we're going to see more and more of these things happening. in france president micron used his new year speech to hit out to the extremist elements in the country. i mean there's a whole. period 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. this anger has shown me one thing no matter how excessive or overflowing it is we will not

quit. 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 their thirties in paris where prince attack or more and rest on new year's eve with twelve thousand placed officers on standby in the ends very few protestors tent out and those who did were blocks from joining the celebrations in central paris french publish an author predicts the demonstrations will soon receive you. with all the blunders the government and especially the peace making i don't see any soothing of the situation this movement to of course continue into two thousand and nineteen the movement is so popular between seventeen and eighty percent of the french support or approval of movements that it is not excluded that especially in the provinces john bombs or even policemen who have more in common with the

protestors and with the officials in paris because become sympathetic with their cause and refused to execute orders going on across embodies what the yellow best rejects globalization and pro-business policies in a way he cannot really given without stopping did what he is he's lacking leeway he 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 so really convincing france was hit by anti-government protests so much of twenty eighteen starting from demonstrations against labor reforms so the latest c.l.o. fast protests over fuel taxes a paris based correspondent charlotte dubinsky recaps events. take this infamous phrase often attributed to mary antoinette. has been used to demonstrate 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 eight. things started to turn nasty as the french government attempted to a victim and she pulled unity to land that they. pool at the gate. it's a protest against expulsion the satisfaction. of

the talks will be pekoe are risks being meanwhile the call for dismissing these should should be built this period he must be evacuated will be back during the morning if the republican leader must be respectful. mayhem first reached paris in spring calls for 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 would listen in raging the country in the process to give the people. who've lived through transformations in recent years i'm not exactly who are resistant to. notes diplomatic he doesn't

know how to talk to people he can not say about all of people all of the nations it's just like on both sides to the foreigners and to the people like french people comes down to. conform to a job like crossing the road oh yeah you don't say that people people are really struggling to use is a sign when you don't have a problem with needing our jobs it think that everybody can do it just by working or 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 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 pensioners to stop complaining the french had come bucket full of him because i think if you do this on the general shoulder told me you can speak freely the only thing we have

the right is to clear the country would be different if everyone did the same. staying stuck to people in france you don't see people 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's no other word for me in the good old french spirit of things anger and resentment towards the been described as the president of the rich really poor without i mean by seventeen they had had enough. to see the crazy on the streets of paris. who simply choose who was. course point. offered an olive branch

to many it was to withhold too late from yellow best smart still don't call me a little while the old lady than expected to keep out the light will i believe the government if the boy lives for. paris. the cake yeah. it's delicious. the north korean leader meanwhile to live in a stern warning to the u.s. in his new year's address him jonathan said that while his country is still intent on denuclearizing washington miss left it sanctions if it wants to see further progress inside his asian into genetically to the if the us 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 denuclearize ation in exchange for security guarantees and a commitment to peace from the u.s. but it's washington is yet to ease its economic pressure on p.r. yang which is being hit hard by the sanctions regime kim jong un and also used his speech to call on south korea to end this joint military drills with the u.s. political analyst and surely told us that washington does need to make some concessions if it wants north korea to continue on its path towards denuclearization. i mean this treasure that this all appears to the most with all of the administration in the world i mean. experience shows that the trauma of this regime is the change in tactics maintaining sanctions even

if the locals resist is this giving up. on the part of roles they see the. group the group that she should be the kind of the spirit. of the tension over the walls. and they expect to see at least something easy for the sanctions that they'll see that that's what explains that warning all that trouble. still to come. president trance new year's speech was a long list of his kind accomplishments but failed to mention some of his more questionable decisions of twenty eighteen we'll tell you about it after the break.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want. to go right to the press this is what the three of the four people are. interested always in the lives of.

welcome back to the program donald trump used his new species as he says the achievements of his administration he took the opportunity to praise the dalles he struck but neglected to mention to 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 i promised it and i did it. 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. to run going washington announced its intention to leave you know asco in october accusing the agency of anti israel bias now the move has 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 vs the need for fundamental reform and they're going to say sion 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 and twenty 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 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 with the i.c.c.

we will provide no assistance to the i.c.c. baseless politicize claims are brought against us if a critical body is an institution unjust prosecution by this illegitimate corps the council ceases to be worthy of its name we will commence a review of all international agreements the. it 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. filmy us ambassador peter galbraith believes america's withdrawal from international agreements signed organizations will eventually be rivette. so this this is entirely political step you know everyone 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 were ones that were created a human rights were created by the united states the united states to leave. and now we withdraw but also this concept from a very good 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 is take a deep breath and america will be back in. two thousand and nineteen has the right and this received a warm welcome ever on the wealth people from all walks of life have run in the new year from the middle east to the capital so if you are at new year's celebrations hold a very special place from hot suppressions take care of some of the best moments from around the globe.

my up my up oh oh. i. thought the i. thought. i. was.

going out states with the latest playboy nice feelin pay to miss time with more of a. country has gone into a nihilistic fever that's why i think i got it hit the road and get out the traveling across america to find what makes america take the shots and that's the genius of this place especially american hero this is it we only point how much on what he's done something we always are on the margins something this whole culture is really boring. ah. 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 unless it may be completely different and a mystery. hello my name's peter and i've been

living in bushnell for about seven years and this is a film about just some of the crazy things i've gotten through in the time. but i guess that's. only because it has been there still i do it because. i started. the thread because.

it's hard to imagine decades after the war a nazi doctor 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 develops a little mite drug that was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy and it turned out to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby is anything but. you know she said is just good choice minix a little 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 . manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the famous merry go round.
