it. takes space and force envisions even higher revealing plans to put u.s. missile defense systems into orbit it's ultimately going to be a very very big part of our defense and obviously. it's.

always interior minister hits out of france accusing the country of harboring dozens of dangerous fugitives and demanding at their extradition. this was field hockey country defeat for the government i'm pleased that this house has expressed its confidence in the government. and the british prime minister narrowly wins a confidence vote in parliament a day after m.p.'s decisively rejected her e.u. divorce deal. for broadcasting live from our studios moscow this is our national thomas certainly glad to have you with us drones lasers and space sensors is pushing for the expansion of u.s. missile defense capabilities as the pentagon publishes

a review outlining new ways to deal with the threats facing the country. takes a closer look at this latest step in a possible new arms race. we're gardiner's of attempts by world's strongest men to dodge questions about a new global arms race well we may have to come to terms with reality in some kind of form it's definitely begun it is not enough to merely keep pace with their adversaries we must outpace them. at every single turn. we must pursue the advanced technology and research to guarantee that the united states is always several steps ahead of those who would do us harm who will always be at the forefront of everything with the us withdrawal from the anti-ballistic missile treaty which was the cornerstone in the field of non proliferation of nuclear weapons and deterring an arms race has forced us to respond by creating new weapon systems to overcome these missile defense systems now we hear that russia has an

advantage yes that's true there is no analogue of this system in the world america's just published the first review of its missile defense program in almost a decade and it besides plans to deploy twenty new ground based interceptors in alaska as well as new radars and sensors besides plans to use laser armed drones and stealthy f. thirty five jets the donald trump administration wants a leap in technological development the president is keen to get a space force space is a new world striding domain. with the space force leading the way it's ultimately going to be a very very big part of our defense and obviously. offense so more than three decades after the ronald reagan and george h.w. bush era the u.s. president is talking about ok maybe not star wars but militarizing space for sure

the ultimate goal is to be able to take down enemy missiles even before they leave the air space of what the president calls rogue countries we will ensure that enemy missiles find no say on earth or in the skies above it won't happen regardless of the missile type or geographic origins of the attack mr trump did call out north korea and iran by. in the programmer view you'll also find russia and china however when it comes to the whole space force idea a great deal of the tall g.'s yet to be developed so the president wanted to make sure the cash goes that way in this speech but if you thought all of this wasn't about the nearest future we think the best approach is a network of satellites and low orbit we're getting started on that this year among the thread startled trump pointed out specifically were hypersonic missiles

a system capable of launching such weapons called was successfully tested by russia at the end of december. and i'm good at the avenue guard system is invulnerable to any current or perspective missile or air defense system of a potential enemy this is a big victory for our country. according to the russian side the reason they're ramping up their r. and d. in strategic defenses is america's overblown military budget and everything it's being spent on parity means global security. we spoke to former u.s. congressman ron paul who says this is not just about politics. well i think the biggest issue here is somebody going to make a lot of money on it you know it reminds me of star wars if you hear back that never really develop and people got excited about it and you know i'm all for

having defensive weapons if necessary but quite frankly i can't quite see the danger that they're talking about that we have to now go much further into debt on something that may take many many years and there's questions on how well it would work but we're already running a tree and our debt every year and in this this can't be paid for out of the bar and money and i just don't see see the danger that that they're claiming but there's a lot of a lot of support for it especially the people who get to build this is a boondoggle for a lot of people so i think the military industrial complex is very very powerful very very influential and every congressman in the. states here has some type of military operation that is they build weapons so there's interest in the house and the lobbying is very heavy and frequently it goes along further than

most people would guess that it should. but it has been a turbulent week for the u.k. some prime minister after her proposed bribes a deal was overwhelmingly rejected by lawmakers theresa may managed to survive a no confidence motion on wednesday by a margin of one thousand votes the victory which saw her deeply divided conservative party rally around her followed an impassioned and wide ranging debate in the house of commons on the country's future. to the right three hundred feet. to the next three hundred twenty five so that. this house has expressed its confidence in the government. mr speaker the real. honorable lady. she knows i said nothing has changed prime minister and we will also continue to work to deliver on the solemn promise we made to the people

of this country to deliver on the results of the referendum and. the government must remove must remove clearly once and for all the prospect of the catastrophe of it no deal breaker for me and all the chaos that would come as a result of that do not take this responsibility likely in my government will continue its work to increase our prosperity the opposition should we gods because . treason may is soon expected in brussels for crisis talks on brags that she will be hoping to win concessions from e.u. officials and to negotiate changes to the current a deal ms may will then present her plan b. to parliament on monday and peace will debate and vote on it on the twenty ninth of january currently the u.k. scheduled to leave the e.u. on the twenty ninth of march as things stand may leave with no deal at all on world trade organization terms meanwhile france has activated its no deal plan setting

aside fifty million euros for any contingency and a german foreign minister says that berlin is also stepping up preparations for a hard brags that this is. we are prepared for every scenario we will continue and step up our planning for a chaotic breaks it. all right throughout her tenure treason may has promised to deliver on the results of the two thousand and sixteen bragg's that referendum but now fulfilling those promises seems to be in doubt artie's i salvi report. a government document has been leaked outlining how long it will take for legislation to pass that. little rise to the holding of a second referendum the so-called people's vote regarding the u.k.'s decision it's a levy that the elite you know this document is dramatic by civil servants and it was handed out to you and police during meetings between downing street officials government officials and those members of parliament and it's a one page of

a memo and it says that it would take around seven months for that legislation to be drafted and to pass and then another twelve weeks for the electoral commission who are responsible for organizing elections here in the u.k. it would take them twelve weeks to come up with the question that would be on the ballot paper and the potential question on the potential second referendum is also something that would be hotly contested and hotly debated by the different sides of that debate now that time frame which is around ten months to a year would mean that it would be impossible to hold a second by march twenty ninth and not of course is the date that we would. lose the use or presumably if it is to be an option then there would be to be an extension of article fifty and for the u.k. to continue to remain in the e.u. law they try to sort themselves out now the government they've been asked about

this document and they say it's merely for illustrated purposes and that they're not planning on proposing a second referendum it was a short paper setting out factual detail on the number of months that would be required it was produced to inform the discussion we expected this issue to be brought to the meeting it was illustrated only our position is that a second referendum won't be happening and it's not just the conservatives who are under pressure to hold that second referendum jeremy corbyn he's the leader of the labor party the leader of the opposition here in the. i i just thought that up to a hundred of his own labor m.p.'s would like him to hold and put out the position that labor wants a second referendum but of course with the court it is a little bit hesitant to do so because many labor voters particularly in the north of england also voted to leave the e.u. mr corbett nevertheless laying out his condition for his support for

a second referendum also said made it very clear that all the options are on the table including the public vote option which we make clear in our conference motion which was i've have to remind you unanimously agreed by our conference last september. and all of this comes as a new poll by you gov indicates that if there was to be a second referendum that fifty six percent of respondents indicated that they would now vote to remain in the e.u. while forty four percent said that they would leave now that would be a larger turn around of course fifty two percent of the u.k. voting public voted to leave the e.u. in june of twenty sixteen so that would be a remarkable swing but still would do nothing to get rid of the significant divisions which risen up as a result of the brogues that process. gerard batten the leader of the u.k. independence party and mark on the end of the oxford crisis research institute gave us their thoughts on the impasse in parliament and what it means for the country.

the establishment remind us of being counter-attacking for the last two and a half years with the assistance of mrs my with the assistance of the commission to get to this position where we are now not really leaving this whole two and a half year political show rod has been conducted on the false premise that you can't leave without a deal and of course you ended up with a deal that nobody wants even before the referendum i remember talking to some of the people organizing the leave campaign and i had imagined that they would have a whole shed jewel of parts of the european legislation they. to go with the course so they could quite have to live with them so they would come out of the traps after the first with a woman so this is what we're for a good state it took three years to even begin to make that process and that's partly because the conservative party is very divided on what to do but it's also true the opposition is very divided so we have all these divisions and they council crossed parties and they cut across the country to. greece and school

teachers are continuing their protest over a bill seeking changes to the hiring system for educators on thursday around three thousand people gathered in athens for a twenty four hour strike which turned into clashes with police. officers had to use pepper spray against dozens of people who tried to enter the greek parliament in response protesters hurled objects at police forces no arrests or injuries have been reported classes clashes speaking classes were canceled public schools in athens and many places elsewhere in greece teachers have already held several protests marches in the capital this month those also resulted in clashes between some demonstrators and riot office. italy's interior minister matteo salvini has accused france of harboring fugitive terror

suspects and is calling on emanuel mccraw to hand them over with the story here is show dubinsky. after decades on the run one of italy's most new tourist criminals finally steps back on to home soil says operatives steve charged with four murders was part of the so-called great but gates that terrorized the country back in the seventy's. to me is into a prison sentence but tiste escaped to france now under the so-called to me to hong doctoring by which foreign terrorists were given safe haven if they had to announce

their past crimes france welcome to him with open arms for decades he enjoyed something of a celebrity status becoming an author he mingled with the literary elite and politicians now the success in bringing him to justice has led to italy to call on other countries including france to stop paul bring terrorists. to the french president to return to italy to fugitives that should not be drinking champagne under the eiffel tower who should be rotting in jail maybe it's only it's really wants france to hand over more than thirty over these champagne terrorists.

the list includes new cisco an n.t. who said to live in this house south of paris. i think that of the forty years we could find a solution to this story as has already been done in the history of the world in civilised countries it's time to turn the page but i've never done what they accuse me of i am absolutely a warrant from an n.t.'s extradition is currently being looked at and it's likely that he won't be alone in wondering if onse is about to give him up but there is big but french officials have said extradition can't be pursued in most of the cases as the statute of limitations here would quash the proceedings with tensions between the two countries already at a tipping point over the migrants the forthcoming elections and italy support for

the movement they seems to be no sign that president might call has any intention of allowing salvini to claim a home run show that even ski r.t. shall let certain law. an explosion has rocked a police academy and colombia's capital bogota leaving eleven dead and almost ninety injured a car filled with explosives broke through a checkpoint and exploded inside the campus a graduation ceremony was being held there at the time the driver of the vehicle who died to me today has been identified according to local authorities president said perpetrators of the attack would not go unpunished. president vladimir putin has made an official visit to serbia which has seen a number of new deals closed and seemingly cemented historical times the balkan country is currently at a crossroads with possible you membership and the issue of course of all high on

the national agenda thousands of serbians march to show their support for the talks with russia. on thursday for more on the meeting in belgrade you got a tough time in front of thousands of people who marched through central belgrade to greet the russian president in serbia but if it does highlight anything at all that would be the division in the serbian society on wednesday also a thousand strong march swept through the city but it came to a very different tune an opposition rally against the current government surveys divided politically to its country that wants to join the european union but also at the same time wants to stay a friend of russia a big geo political and diplomatic challenge but the two leaders still met with the russian president awarded the serbian his serbian counterparts with a medal the serbian president gifted vladimir putin

a puppy but it wasn't all just about symbols of friendship serious geopolitical issues were on the table as well like for example kosovo and it creating its own army glad i'm a putin made a comment on that in fact. russia as well as serbia is interested in the situation in the balkans to be stable and secure in particular in terms of kosovo russia's position is well known we are in favor of belgrade in pristina coming to a healthy and acceptable agreement on the cost of a settlement based on the un security council resolution unfortunately kosovo has made a number of provocative steps aggravating the situation and course we made the first steps towards creating its own army russia fully shares serbia and its people's concerns and understands that these a response who actions of the cost of an administration could lead to the destabilization of the situation in the balkans. also more than twenty documents

have been signed here in the serbian capital some of them deals totaling more than two hundred. transports and. the words we already to lengthen the turkey stream to european countries and to european consumers we have more than enough resources for that we are dealing with on this issue this is also true for infrastructure developments and also if a transitional infrastructure development on serbian territory we already to invest in it and these investments will be about one point four billion dollars well the challenges. of reporting from. presidential rivals are always a draw for the media however no one quite expected lot of his counterpart alexander to make to take a look. right

serbian film director a mere who. also had the chance to meet with a lot of. visit to belgrade after word of the filmmaker spoke. about the conversation and also shared some of his views and future plans.

i said it wasn't put in the idea of independent not sil's serbia as the state i think sort of in its own as much as possible but would mostly have put the accent on those of the situation in republic of srpska. i would say a minority of say. most of the time suppressed by the politics and not leaving the old ways free to to be making straightforward connections to russia and setting it needs to be done to. i'm very much deeply rooted into the russian classical literature and cinema and what i'm trying to do something in china which is going to be really based on the novel or i don't know if it's novel it's not that long but it's called

divide clouds. i'm preparing for a long time. you know in a sewer in many. months but it happens today in in the past. in syria and there were and. he is on my agenda every day so there is no day that i don't remember him. you know worst is the consequence of could put it corporate of the world taking over and leaving the france with the capital and the french people are the most comfortable people around the world and they have lost and they're starting to lose the privileges and i think this privilege is just giving up with a syndicate a movement that is. becoming even getting into the roots and i'm thinking about this as really

a consequence of what the ninety's corporate of the world was they were in fact exporting their factories to the cheap labor countries and that's how in fact they lost the momentum and the student of economy which now is. getting the reaction from the people. and interview on the american radio station sirius x.m. took an ironic turn on tuesday c.n.n. analyst martin appearing on political talk show host david webb's program suggested that white privilege was a key factor in webb's success however the claim backfired spectacularly. and by virtue of being a white male you have white privilege it was a whole long conversation i don't have five i review i hate to break it to you by but you should have been better prepped i am black. well twitter users blasted martin on the social network following a gaffe with many criticizing the rise of identity politics political activist

anthony rogers' right to believe that while white privilege it is real the abuse of the term undermines the push for equal. yeah it's very unfortunate that she made that gaffe because i think it precluded from having a much deeper conversation there are definitely some people who use it as an ad hominum attack and we have to we have to call that you know we have to keep it germane and we have to have cogent discussions i mean we we have to be honest that white privilege does exist in the united states of america but if i'm not doing my part you know i'm not going to go as far as president obama said and so that anyone who pulls up their bootstraps is automatically going to get success but i but at the same time yeah there are definitely people out there who don't want to do anything and would sort of use this narrative and it does we can with people who would just throw it out there without any basis because it does weaken actual instances of white supremacy or racial bigotry. me to movement against sexual

assault has been making headlines since two thousand and seventeen however it was founded more than a decade ago and some think it has veered off course from its original purpose we spoke to slovenian philosopher dziedzic who gave us his thoughts on where me too has been and where it is going. but you talk about six. topics they say this is only a few. blamed me me. me two years ago. day nobody. thought. and believe me he's no longer what it was.
