there welcome just two pm here in moscow you're watching r.t. international the number of people known to have died in a tower block collapse in the russian city of magnitogorsk has risen to thirty eight rescuers say there could be more bodies under the rubble is thought a gas explosion is to blame for the disaster with more as you go she's done. 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 silence and commemorate all builds affected by the tragedy but first you of course came those who lost their loved ones in the blast the national crossing you go this is what you will about sleep it should little easy to look forward to this immediately. if you live where you

get it we know it's going to lucknow sneak back to me go. to church go to the show . i'm just. picked up the phone to instill in the bitch nothing. you will. move nothing to make those ships goodness knows who is. this the lord would have of course of us living but really all sorts of people flock from all parts of town touched and moved by the grief others what you. call them a pure pleasure but you. see it's got a bad supply chain it is my boss' boss said i'm the patient for those who have been moved by the grief of people collected donated more than seven million roubles to those who lost something in this tragedy the search and rescue operation is still ongoing of course as you can clearly see behind me rescuers in fact working the

conditions got a threatening their own lives and in fact the only couple of times they had to make a poor choice and take a break is when that threat would become too grave for them so they would first dismantle some of the 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. or despite the grief some have managed to survive a ten month old boy was found alive under the rubble on wednesday morning his his story. but. you

supposedly in the us a little 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 we started asking where are you and there was a noise and we started working but there was a risk of further collapse we were afraid because the child was crying for how. gullible so if i could have shown them immediately where my son probably was but we weren't allowed at the site i managed to get there and show the rescuers the place i got acquainted with one rescuer who later called me to say that they'd found my son. stephen in the film it's just like. the just such improvement on the market.

is the first and most. recent. place in france for arrested a key figure of the best protest movement officials say they charged eric drew a with organizing an undeclared protest and also carrying a weapon. i. was the size the other best to get ahead of the participants to detain for identity checks to you one month ago the french prosecutor's office launched an investigation into drew i called on people to enter the lease a palace one of the co-founders there with the l.f.s. says the arrest through a is unlawful i have to accept the fact that we've always fought for fundamental

rights in our country we've always fought and today we're realizing that our fundamental rights are being trampled on right in front of the plaster la concorde i just remind you then the yellow vests movement began as a local processed against high fuel prices that tendency nationwide uprising against emanuel micron's presidency issuing riots with the most violent francis thing in half a century with thousands of painful broken right single sex police across the country all correspondent shot at the bin scheme has been in the thick of the on rick's. list. so i do street see entries all of these at least a dozen it's like you can see it's a guest speaker like these after taxes who's going to declare you've got to be. seriously at least. live. i

live. i still think my ice wiped out not because we've just been in the makes all of this to you guys as you can see it makes a nice louisiana holiday in them and on the plane but they are just getting under control a list of colleagues at least. lol beautiful stuff the street seems to absolutely detest the. city crazy on the streets live. at least

live i believe last week there were about five thousand six hundred police officers hit this week and eight thousand people are exploding you go smoke cigars that being deployed i was just trying to live. with a good course example of this is to look at this to gas going everywhere. i look upon that being deployed east. because you still. live leave me to my face again. i can't tell you how many times how we feel cast in previous protests to police in chile trying to hold back to ploy to get gas money when they told jax p.l.t. dot them by the protesters they build stock until they feel it's too much today

when one of the teachings of the one that they have been withholding immediately and it's not just a gas it's what the bullets it's out to candles and of course we have all made vehicles on the streets of paris the first time since she was and believe this is a rubber bullet that's going to put my hands say perhaps my cameraman alex to get a nice close up look at it for you it's pretty big it's a little bit sponges it's all the point is this is the baby's quite large the idea it's not mental to treat you like a normal bullet but if this hits. believe me this is really a scary having. you. now taiwan has expressed its discontent after china's president warned that beijing would use all necessary means to ensure reunification the right to use force tensions have been rising since the election

of a pro independence candidate as president of taiwan in twenty six states. actually chinese don't 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 or taiwan will definitely not accept one country two systems china has to respect the twenty three million taiwanese peoples persistence and freedom and democracy instead of interfering with once choice of democracy where polarizing taiwan society and lure in talents. or tensions between china and taiwan have existed since the people's republic of china was founded in one nine hundred forty nine in one thousand nine hundred two both sides did agree on the so-called ninety two consensus it does give

taiwan the right to have its own government while its territory is considered to be part of china however both china and taiwan do have different interpretations of the dream and and also the concept itself now on december the thirty first president trump signed the asia reassurance initiative act which allocates one point five billion dollars for increased u.s. engagement across the pacific region the act is also aimed at improving political economic and security ties between taiwan and also america that includes additional u.s. arms sales to the island meant to counter the potential threat from mainland china . if on the scale of weapons by the united states to taiwan is a serious violation of international law and the basic principles of international relations which songs of what the real of an x. seriously violates the one china principle and grossly interferes in china's internal affairs chinese strongly dissatisfied and opposed to the us insisting on

signing used into law and we have made some complaints with the u.s. well asia pacific policy expert thinks that taiwan would be more open to working with china if it wasn't receiving search search hefting military assistance. china would ideally like that the u.s. does not sell arms to taiwan law or the level of diplomatic support because it believes in that in those circumstances that the taiwanese would be more forthcoming in taking a more constructive attitude in in deepening relations with beijing the threat that the u.s. sees is primarily in the maritime theater as the chinese navy becomes more modernized enters the able to. push the u.s. navy back and create an. an empty access are bubble in spirit free. now with twenty eighteen all wrapped up we have been looking back at the

mainstream media's coverage for highlights but it's really a trend care found out that coverage looked pretty much the same throughout the year. i know way too much about your news watching experience last year how come easy you don't need superpowers about. this president it could be impeached i do not think the president will serve out his term resignation resignation a huge incentive for president trump to resign it would be the beginning of the end of the term presidency at the beginning of the end then you say it was actually the same president thing last year. walls closing in the walls closing you know this is going to be the achilles heel dykeman's could lead to trump's impeachment still there may get america great again prompts impeachment.

on this. this which is current fight to try to put a hex on president literally multiple times trump has plenty to be scared. and so he is running scared yeah right probably be getting a. speech been. a minute some point a friend called you and they were like. no. it's crazy california. no bro but i have a look now. stone trump is cool control the sea with several of these statements on the wildfire as the president confuses their the number of missing people he visited the town of paradise california pleasure a couple of times he put those tweets at the worst possible time when people's lives are being compromised he was playing politics and elected officials say he doesn't really understand what's causing the fire when america lost two very dear and important people for the nation here's some of what you must have heard on the

news president pro is not invited trump is facing backlash for his tweet on senator mccain for. didn't who had repeatedly mocked and diminished mccain during his life was initially unable to offer up a single kind word descended into relief while this is no night for name calling it's been well established that donald trump is no friend of the bushes president opposite to attend the state funeral for president george h.w. bush on wednesday but does the forty fifth president feel like he's really part of the president's. ok that's really what you want to talk about. so it's been a year of all kind of scoops from news on drama to news on from well at least there are other shows on the box. the beginning i honestly want to do this again some night where no problem with the president switching. everything's falling apart

sometimes i wish i had never been president. world where you would never president . i think we can arrange that. and you're kidding me so me tell me. sincerely j.j. p.s. why didn't i get my book. can you explain to me why one for holidays going on i seriously did did you do this you know actually i wouldn't be surprised if one of you out there have been trumpet touched by a dream of being sucked into the matrix of trump t.v. . you are going. to talk about. a very warm welcome back to all our viewers time for

a quick recap of our top stories today. veteran porn star describes donald trump. janet taylor great. having a total of two thousand four hundred thirty calories worth of food for dinner makes trump feeling a old president. and newly discovered ten centimeter long shot i need blind worm species is named to do more fairs donald trump i after the u.s. leader. be sure to stay with us for some of your favorite donald trump classics that's coming up next. season. down the hall. so now for cosmopolitan and donald trump you just don't get morning. it's like

you're fired you're fired you're all fired. you should've put more stress on the show said. that. one of the last twelve months with disney classics to be criticised for giving is bad role models but is it p.c. gone so you will have a soft and bright. good politicians do something to. put themselves on the lawn to get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president. more so more want to be rich. but you'd like to be prosperous like the flag tree in the morning can't be good i'm interested always in the wilds of color. should.

show small seem wrong when old clothes just don't hold. any gold to get to shape out this day become educated and engaged and it was betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground the. again now over the next few days we are looking back at some of the stories we brought you in twenty eight.

twenty eighteen did see the rise in it of the meeting movement with a number of celebrities named and shamed for inappropriate behavior and in its wake classic films also came under greater scrutiny in clearing some disney cartoons. whether p.c. has actually gone to. did you spend a blissful childhood happily enjoying disney classics well in case you missed it they tend to fall into monsters. how can we just found by and watch the prince kiss snow white without consent runs out to the to the little mermaid giving up her voice for the true love of a man i want to write we say cinderella save yourself you don't leave no prince

these are some of the criticisms from actresses kristen bell and keira knightly who have unwittingly become figureheads of a movement that suggests that we love. and improve some classic story is apparently bella and might leave refused to let their kids even watch some of these old classics and what on the street is not the only one a lot of people think about this stuff but really really really hard although perhaps not hard enough maybe the prince should have got permission but then it's never right would still be lying that nobody writing world's long departed can we still call one of those people in the way. the little mermaid may have given up her voice but that was ariel just said let's just let her do her thing and telling cinderella to save herself so the work message to all those trapped in that mesic seventy two around the world is to just help yourself and ignore any princes who want to help looking at you mochel the modern day does tend to get the p.c.

seal of approval although if we try hard enough i'm pretty sure we can run those two let's have a try showing that. a little girl defines how parents and sets out across the ocean or just some logs with a tiny little chicken that is not a good example and in the interests of animal welfare did anyone else the chicken if it wanted to go for it was a nice clean lines one line closed doors for years offered for my tickets and then pleas to the top of the mountain all being all alone but is a terrible lesson in how to treat p.t.s.d. as ever i see why my has the solution to keep your kids. blissfully ignorant to the complexities of reality reduce the guy all acceptable story lines that are to me to stick with the declare two thousand years old. and everything. that's a good thought for a book. there will providing paul role models

isn't the only thing that disney was accused of and twenty eighty the copywriting of the catchphrase of one disney classic has led to accusations of imperialism and also cultural appropriation. probably. well that phrase was made famous by the one thousand nine hundred four film the line king new version of which is being released this year isn't barbarian activists though has launched a petition to remove the trademark from disney he claims the phrase belongs to african culture and cannot be owned by any company the petition was launched in late december and has almost one hundred eighty thousand people signed signed up to it already but whom it arctic comes from the swahili language and means no worries he was trademarked by disney in two thousand and three for use in clothing and also footwear disney has never denied the origin of the phrase the company however still hasn't commented on the petition back in december we discuss the issue with our

guests so i we're seeing so much pushback from people on it they see this as another as you alluded to manifestation of cultural appropriation and it continues a capitalist march up for africa and specifically africa a continent representing everything that capital is once everything capital is need but everything capitalist don't want to pay for that use of your goods to sara lee anti-capitalistic and i mean i don't want to find out the answer to that you're driving a jeep cherokee where we just leave it at that are misleading it's only us. very pressure as i mentioned earlier we live in an error of only outreach people are just looking for reasons and be offended i don't think this is a case about offending people right i mean everyone will find a way to get up to be offended i think what we're seeing here is the commodification of culture and we have to go beyond sharing the one thing that does need to do is maybe an investment in the lion king franchise which is created a lot of jobs disney's made a lot of money and let me tell you something disney has donated to africa causes in

africa last year two thousand and seventeen they donated over three hundred forty million dollars not everything is meant to be commodified and culture is one of those thing that specially when the culture does not belong to the corporation that is trying to appropriate and make money off of it at the end of the day disney is a global company so it's not to say that they can't appropriate or use phrases from other cultures let me tell you something right now where are we going to go with this next is taco bell going to be under attack is the tilted kill pub franchise i think it's a faulty parallelism to compare a franchise like taco bell to language like recruitment tata this me also tried this with dia de los went oh so they also tried some copyright the day of the dead which is also something that is quarterly sacre to people specifically in mexico you make money the way that you want to make money and that's fine but this is like

cultural appropriation. national thanks to company the south anyway back again with headlines more stories at the top of the. you know world big partisan movies are a lot of things and conspiracy it's tied 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 path and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's tied to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. we.

will both be in the bloody show last years does. she doesn't it with the people most of us are not all what i mean we. can make it was not a. thing. really a local superman film he can see as you know if you live by. it because you're in the form of the media. only

a few more games with the very one with a number on the nose and given many balls up in the dome i was in the most i was at the field. when the whole make us manufacture games and this instant of public wealth. when the running plus the project themselves. six. million real news is. nobody could see that false confession would be in the spot.

any interrogation bill c. is. probably. the process of the turkish was designed to put people in just that frame of mind make the money make them want to. take no for an answer. she said. sad statement there i will be all over that the next day there's a culture of ability and police officers know that they can engage in misconduct that has nothing to do with. the worst drug disaster in history would spread through more than forty six countries and produce up to twenty thousand badly deformed babies worldwide.

but historians today single out one birth in one nine hundred sixty one that changed the course of history in hamburg germany linda age twenty three gave birth to her first child her husband was with me the time and it was quite. and then i lay back and was relaxed and some i mean somebody whispered into my ear. all right and i was white awake and i said. what what's got what has happened to my baby is anything val yeah she said just. let's say. without any emotion. yeah he's just got short arms and i like a child would have us possibly i said and on take rowing anymore and this can't grow this will be like it to snow.
