death toll from. the russian city of miami to rises to twenty eight with thirteen others. all necessary means a note the use of force the warnings from china's president as the war of words with taiwan escalates. in the next few weeks. the decision. backs the deal. british prime minster trees are made their appeals for support plans in

a new year. way. good evening our welcome this is. the number of dead pulled from a collapsed tower block in the russian city of miami to go has increased again after twenty eight body was found to guess explosion was to blame for the collapse our correspondent biggest on the reports from the. the official day of mourning has really underlined how the city came together faced with the tragedy a makeshift sporadic memorial grew by the hour and it seemed as an endless stream of people came to stay in saw humans and commemorates all those affected by the tragedy but first of course came those who lost their loved ones in the blast the national crossing it goes into but you will about. it should little or nothing if

you're sure. you know cuomo is going to miss him you can find to live with. it we know it's going to look in this new market we'll. see you don't go to this show. i'm just. picked up the phone to instill the pitch not. you. not to commit those if should disclose you is. this the bloodwood of a forcible slip but really all sorts of people flock from all parts of town touched and moved by the grief of this what you. call the pleasure but you. see it's got a bad supply chain gangs and of course paul said i'm not pushing for. that if. you see.

this fine you know they're talking about is a ten month old baby who spent more than thirty hours under the rubble trapped to make concrete over there before being rescued. but. you know as a. group where one of the rescuers heard a child crying we stopped all the machinery to listen in we were saying to keep quiet and the baby was reacting and kept silent people we started asking where are

you then there was a noise and we started working there but there was a risk of further collapse because we were afraid if the child was crying for help . those who have been moved by the grief of people collected donated more than seven million rubles to those who lost something in this tragedy the search and rescue operation is still ongoing of course as you completely see behind me the rescuers in fact working the conditions got a threatening their own lives the conditions holds the threat to their lives and in fact the only couple times they had to make the pause and take a break is when that threat would become too brave for them so the first dismantle some of these structures that were literally about to fall on their head but the search and rescue operation is said to go on at least until every missing person is

accounted for. like many would need to go citizens but a game of did all he could to help the rescuers they rushed to the rubble of the collapsed building with a drone these are some of the shots captured on this camera they used it to guide the rescuers through the ruins and to reduce the risk of being caught in falling debris is what he had to say about the incident. well of work early the moment i heard about the tragedy i managed to get inside the sealed off area while offering my help to the rescue teams like and told them i had the last generation could call turns they said yes they even offered me a lift to where i live to fetch the drugs but i refused and told them that i needed those rescuers help i got back with my quote. and flew it over what was left of the complex that's when we realized the rescuers were in real danger from all the rubble still hanging over the second roof and i stayed here till six in the evening just hours before the new year nobody could think about the celebrations anymore

because of this tragedy the people of the city together that night you couldn't just going away right now from. over to britain now where prime minister to reason is used her new year's speech to rally support for her embattled briggs a deal in the next few weeks will have an important decision to make its power that backs the deal britain can turn a corner and if we come together in two thousand and ninety i know we can make a success of what lies ahead and build a country that truly works for every one of us all twenty eight it was a pretty rocky year for the british pm trees and i faced an uphill battle to get the european union british m.p.'s even our own cabinet to back divorce deal and with little success taking a look back at the year not short on bragg's it drama. part of it i read in a case seven twenty seventeen when the ball way to the top. a little bit.

closer to. where twenty eight can't complain when you make a new take on the. tourists in turn told through you feel a little bit that. it was the year of a major u.k. battle to conservative party showdown to read it may take you. down. it's hard to believe but at the start of the year things still looked relatively rosy phase one of gregg's it was done and the forty billion pounds of bill had been

agreed to live on the on the scene really atmospheric. success was short lived his two reserve man cabinet started playing. musical chairs. and. unveiled hyped his deal. we have come to an agreement with the proposal we're pushing to the european union which absolutely. the people voted for that country resident the pm told our minister says that if they don't like it they were free to resign and get taxis off. down the driveway the foreign secretary boris johnson predicted secretary david davis stayed loyal to the prime minister until they'd be home that is and resigned within forty eight hours. too late to save. jonas and waited to tell the pm heat quit until just before she had to try to sell the time to check

his plans to parliament turning tricks that mr speaker i want to pay tribute to my right elbow friends i remember. and the brags that cabinet exit didn't stop there. china embassy reason may have finally proved with rule deal for the e.u. in brussels you commemorate the event e.u. leaders put force to come to work on sunday. to. bring the situation with the. movement. there would no cheering crowds welcoming the prime minister in london parliament hated may's deal and the compromise she signed up to the data for her deal was bound for spectacular failure

and after assuring the country i am carrying minister she wouldn't have sold to reason make the parliamentary vote at the eleventh hour are this very carefully to what has been said in this chamber and i we will dance through to the century. with brad pitt hanging by a thread in great politicians in to raise amazing policy trying to pressure off a political player by triggering a no confidence vote bigger group is where you were dropped from a procedure of the broader somebody who is in office this is working through the procedure of overkill for the board it is government troops go lucky for the prime minister the plot against her wasn't big enough to bring her down she was also a few so i think the little girls that are using. you feel like they were barely in plush times with her party's confidence in her handbag to resume a jetty back to brussels with the aim of negotiating

a slightly better deal one that parliament might improve. to with mission impossible under british media. word on the brussels street until the front page is just that showed you have been calling to meet them a little bit of. the situation in my travels to see me. but if things didn't help may's pretty good deal brussels said look you need to step up to the you know systems for a disagreement to proceed to is it certification it's not open for you to resume a's deal is yet to be approved or rejected by an angry and divided parliament while the end of the ride the break that deadline of march twenty nine is fast approaching and if we're sticking to the analogy then greg this is a lie that's perilously close to breaking down but to those in need of comic relief

that will always be terry's amaze dance say. in the meantime new you revolution in the british capital sauveur celebrations turning slightly political during the traditional fox display there the london eye appeared to light up in the colors of the new flag. i would have been proud to be a union she was such a divider brown the we wouldn't coming together as a country celebrate the start of one thousand nine hundred that a massive. use of public purse to give us your political.

back you do not speak for all the people workout london proud to be a london no proud of my taxes fireworks to send us to postmasters to europeans it's very low to what is intrinsic national public events it's a betrayal of democracy and it's what we have come to expect from a very poor mayor of london. and of the one million citizens who have made our city your home and your londoners you make a huge contribution you're welcome i'm proud to welcome to in twenty nineteen with a message of support to you. to taiwan has reacted angrily after china's president warned the beijing will use quote all necessary means reserves the right to use force to bring bring unification tensions have been rising since a pro independence candid it was elected as president taiwan in twenty six theme

parties in that era choose to explain. can be a time of reflection and resolution and china's president took the opportunity to really address tensions with taiwan initially you wouldn't be mistaken to think that a peaceful solution was on its way after seventy years of strained relations between the two sides but then came the mixed messages which surely used to fight chinese we're willing to strive for the prospect of peaceful reunification with the utmost sincerity and the greatest efforts because peaceful reunification is in the best interests of the comparator it's across the street and the chinese nation but we may no promise to renounce the use of force what started off as an olive branch quickly turned into a thorny bush if we judge taiwan's angry reaction. or taiwan will definitely not accept one country two systems china has to respect the twenty three million taiwanese peoples persistence on freedom and democracy instead

of interfering with taiwan's choice of democracy where polarizing taiwan society and lure in talents. if we take a step back into time it was a civil war during the late one nine hundred forty seven the political status of taiwan that caused the split in china the peoples of both sides of the same ethnicity speak the same language but are ruled by two separate governments in china's eyes taiwan is a breakaway province and consequently because of their refusal to accept its independence the hundred ten mile wide taiwan strait remains one of the most heavily militarized flashpoint in the world to add fuel to china's fire it seems the u.s. is backing taiwan by not only signing a bill back in september twenty approving three hundred thirty million dollars worth of arms sales but on the thirty first of december trump signed a pro taiwan asia reassurance initiative act into law promising increased support in the entire pacific region including arms sales for u.s.

allies like taiwan as well as others it's not the first time china has aired its anger and they're certainly not holding back at the u.s. this time. we're following the story live with us by the united states to taiwan is a serious violation of international law and the basic principles of international relations sanction for the role of an x. seriously violates the one china principle and grossly interferes in china's internal affairs strongly dissatisfied and opposed to the us insisting on signing used into law and we have made some complaints with the u.s. . i like. when serious about. i want. our own where we encourage.

i want. where you are now one and now because. this is the war and now looks like peace and harmony won't be reached as easily as china wishes with taiwan making it clear that they're not likely to back down and the us showing their obvious support for taiwan and all the international community can do is hope that a compromise will come to fruition and this war of words will end that era cheater r.t. . historic moment in india as two women enter one of the country's holiest places forbidding to women for centuries will bring you the full story after the break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. to go right to be close this is what the four three of the more people. interested in the water. should.

come back the u.s. government's partial shutdown goes on to a twelfth day been calling for talks on border security with the congress leaders of both parties many they fear the political gridlock will continue with democrats refusing to fund a key campaign pledge building on the border with mexico let's get some day now live from new york correspondent more. standing now with the shutdown. well it's been two weeks that the us federal government has been shut down at this point there is no end in sight now we know that there is a plan for congressional leaders to be at the white house now we're seeing that the u.s. house and senate the two legislative bodies of the u.s. congress they will be gathering in reconvening briefly on wednesday today and

they'll be reconvening simply so that there can be you know a conclusion of the twenty seventeen twenty eighteen congress has then we're preparing the way for the new congress that was elected in november to be sworn in and at the moment there does not seem to be any workable plan to end the government shutdown now at the moment we have seen donald trump on on twitter he tweeted that the government shutdown is not where nancy pelosi wanted to start her tenure as speaker there's been quite a war of words between trump and nancy pelosi the speaker the new speaker the democratic representative let's review. the security in the wolfing and shut down is not when he wants to start to speak let's make could be you donald trump has given democrats a great opportunity to show how to govern responsibly and quickly pass our planned

two and they're responsible trump chad down does the first sign of things to come in our new democratic majority committed to working for the people now federal workers at this point are taking the u.s. government to court workers that are considered to be essential and engage in things like emergency services security and other things are being forced to work without pay now their union is now taking the federal government to court over this issue of federal employees being forced to work without receiving a paycheck let's take a listen to what's being said. remembers put their lives on the line to keep our country safe requiring them to work without pay us nothing short of inhumane now it's going beyond just politicians and government employees that we're now seeing that in the national parks of the united states there has been an overflow of garbage and human waste no one is available to clean up the national parks and rather significant damages is building up furthermore with the federal bureau of

indian affairs shut down many native americans who depend on the u.s. federal government for education health care and grounds keeping on reservation areas they are also without essential services and care so at this point we are reaching day twelve the u.s. federal government being shut down at this point it's a debate about trump's wall on the wall funding for border security that's the point of contention that is keeping me the legislature from having an agreement and from keeping the government from from opening up once again but interestingly it seems to be not only an issue of policy but almost an issue of semantics the democrats are talking about a fence whereas the republicans are talking about a wall let's take a look at the war of words or this semantical difference that seems to be the hinge disagreement that's keeping the federal government shutdown.

speaking for myself consider the wall and moral walls can be scaled over walls can be tunneled under the wall doesn't stop any bad things from happening it just makes it impossible for the folks on our site to see what's developing and makes it more difficult for them. the president through executive order one three seven six seven directed us to build a wall on the southwest border the wall that we're going to put in here is vance a wall that we're going to put in here you may be wondering why are we choosing the type of fence that we're choosing the bollard wall that we're going to be putting in place excuse me to safety aspects that a wall provides this type of fence or scuse me this type of ball of walls.

if we don't get what we want one way or the other whether it's through you through a military through anything you want to call i would shut down the guy who can have it or not this temper tantrum that he seems to throw will not get him his wall and it will hurt a lot of people because he will cause a shut down. fall of the two women have made history in india after entering one of the country's holiest hindu temples which had been forbidden to women for centuries this follows months of tension over a court decision to stop really just a mile tens of thousands of women to take a polity one human chain in the south of the country in support of gender equality . sokol women's will stretch for more than six hundred kilometers is a look at what the control is about.

as long as the temple is here we have to follow this tradition. so we'll ensure that anybody who wants to go to the people will go without any obstruction nor stretching will be tolerated i mean he called. she splashing out says i'm not a devotee i'm just here to do my job just let me go then she faces still infected and that's when she is forced to return back.

to support somebody. that's going to get up took the bus passes. ok that runs up to this news hour join me in half an hour later. when lawmakers manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes project themselves. with the fine and

merry go round lives and we don't want. to ignore middle of the room sick. real need. will say you will be in the. last years does. it with the people most of or not all what i mean. to make it was i'm not.

really a local superman for movie can you see as you know if you missed it by if. it was your in a couple of years. i'm with you more then with the baby one with a number on the north and even when he pulls up in the film i will inform us they will start to feel. the same wrong. why don't we all just don't know all. the old beliefs yet to shape our disdain become educated and in danger but it was betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when just to look for common ground.

i. this is a poem bus broadcast around the world from washington d.c. i'm partial to thanks for joining us we appreciate you hanging out with us coming up today we focus on any policy around the planet we'll be joined by professor richard wolfe and our t. correspondent on your part and bill looks at a recent united nations report on poverty in the united states and some reactions at home and abroad plus the c.e.o. of strong market were words looked at the wealthiest the poorest nations around the world and r.t.
