which the test in their first time to go training exercises of the year party here is that our team is there to witness the old dizzying action. and the celebrated live video and follows the first line boys ejected says his unique take on limmy two movements changing it's been corrupted sound is no longer a force for good. a very good morning to you you're watching r.t. international with me. the top story this hour a new leaks document has shown that despite to resume a strident denials the u.k.

government is considering calling a second gregg's that referendum comes off of the prime minister's original e.u. divorce deal was met with a resoundingly rejection from m.p.'s. there are those who want to see no deal and those who want to see a second referendum and potentially frustrate brax it a second referendum would lead instead to further division is my duty to deliver on the british people's instruction to leave the european union and i intend to do so a government document has been leaked outlining how long it would take for legislation to pass that would authorize the holding of a second referendum a so-called people's vote it's a one page 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 now that timeframe which is around ten months to a year would mean that it would be impossible to hold a second referendum by march twenty ninth and that of course is the date that the u.k. would leave the news of the government they've been asked about this document and they say it's merely for illustrator of 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 opposition is that a second referendum won't be happening and it's not just the conservatives who are on the pressure to hold that second referendum jeremy corbyn he's the leader of the labor party the leader of the opposition here in the u.k. and it is thought that up to a hundred of his own labor m.p.'s would like him to hold and put up the position

that labor wants a second referendum also said made it very clear that all the options are on the table including the public vote option which we made clear in our conference motion which was i have to remind you unanimously. agreed by our conference last september the european union would extend article fifty if the government requested it to hold a general election or if there was a prospect of a second referendum say you're opinion would love for britain to cancel brix it but merely to for parliament to work out what border actually should be doing with bricks in two and a half years after the start date you would agree to that. a new poll has found that if a second referendum were held a majority of voters would now choose to wear maine in the you is the biggest third in support for remains the twenty sixteen gregg's it vote and is probably boyko explains the second vote wouldn't be without precedent. the people

may have voted but the british parliament is in political turmoil over what the u.k.'s departure from the e.u. should look like and if some politicians get their way whether it should happen at all to this issue but to the elected what else can we possibly up to the british public to get back. to reconsider this brics it is a call for deception but most of those people that promise to help you know why we bothering to leave and. still subject to all the rules over on the continent of these slighted politicians will be hoping that perhaps the imperfect but stable relationship between brussels and london could be heading towards their union if a deal is impossible and no one wants no deal then who will finally have the courage to say he was the only positive solution is so if you think their people have voted then think again governments have been known to ignore

a referendum result or to. ireland learned this the hard way twice in two thousand and one after a smallish campaign irish voters rejected expanding the bloc east island effectively put a spoke in the e.u.'s wheels when it was keen to invite nations like romania and bulgaria into the club so the e.u. irish government invested in a big yes campaign and a year later the vote was rerun. the majority of votes against the proposal. was the irish decision on the use defacto constitution the lisbon treaty suffered the same fate the majority in favor of the proposal. i see dear slowed as

a sign of confidence about the irish people in european union as a sign of their desire to be all hearted members of the european union. before the break that shambles it was the greek debt crisis keeping e.u. officials are clear night. in twenty fifteen the new greek prime minister staged a referendum in which weak citizens overwhelmingly rejected his austerity policies but brussels imposed them anyway those living in the birthplace of democracy well pleased with what they saw as an undemocratic process. and this one may not be related to the e.u. but it is related to britain in twenty twelve voters in the city of manchester rejected having elected mayors but

a couple of years later david cameron's westminster government imposed them on the region anyway late last year the top court ruled that brags it can be reversed unilaterally by the u.k. stressing the referendum in june twenty sixth in wasn't legally binding so technically in terms of the law the u.k. government is free to choose whatever route it wants spirit plowing ahead with gregg's it or slapping it into reverse shore stopping bragg's it would be a failure to honor the will of the people but given the political turmoil that unfolded here in the past two and a half years there has been a shift in public opinion the latest polls show that now fifty six percent of u.k. voters would say no bragg's it so given these circumstances there are plenty of politicians here keen to break their brags that promise to. sell it as the

noble thing to do. laser armed drones that space based sensors and ground based missile detectors that's all on donald trump's wish list the u.s. president has unveiled plans for an ambitious expansion of america's defense capabilities after the pentagon published a review outlining the threats facing the country it breaks down the development we're gardeners of the term spy 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 our 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 view. america has 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 for worse leading the way its own timidly going to be

a very very big part of our. offense. 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 airspace of what the president calls rogue countries we will ensure that enemy missiles know sakes you are on a roll 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 but in the program review 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 a speech but if you thought all of this wasn't about the nearest future we think

the best approach is a network of satellites in low orbit we're getting started on that this year among the threats donald trump pointed out specifically were hypersonic missiles a system capable of launching such weapons called was successfully tested by russia at the end of the. i will go to 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 well former u.s. congressman ron paul told us the movie is not just about geopolitics. 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 a few years back that never really developed but 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 were already running a tree and our debt every year and in this this can't be paid for other than bar and money and i just don't see see the danger that they're claiming but there's a lot of a lot of support for it especially the people who get to build that there's 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 in the states here has

some type of military operation that is they build weapons so there's an interest in the house and the lobbying is very heavy and frequently it goes along further than most people would guess that it should. hundreds if it leaks russian power trip is it being braving heavy snow in icy skies as they help that tactical exercises off the year on cheese maria phenomena travel to western russia to watch them being put through that paces and performs them have racing feet. i. found it almost ninety years ago for the russian airborne the sole forces also known as the considered to be among the

finest fighting forces in the country for additional blue grays and strong undershirt kind of symbol of elite fighters in russia today the raises you can see are replaced with why the problem is the guys are going to the skies today. before the troopers board the aircraft all the equipment should be very carefully checked the any mistake could cause the laws of these young military men. i've.

flown with know it. russian paratroopers are told to lend anytime of the tie any season all three on any terrain deep snow like this one off set and they improve this skills during training like today was that. and on i os right now. open to most still succumbing to being china firing a warning shot i counted there as a battle with the west dominance looms the details for you after the break.

that entire collection of countries and regions that have been the main economic. players for decades now over time they're going to become this much more players of the world is going to evolve china india middle east africa. under certain scenarios they're going to represent about eighty percent of world g.d.p. at the end of the century and that scenario is where they do catch up in terms of productivity growth. you know world of big part of the lot and conspiracy it's time to wait to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter

we need to stop slamming the door on the 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. welcome back china's ambassador to canada has hit town to justin trudeau as government warning that there will be consequences if while way is frozen out of the country's five g. network canada is one of a number of western countries considering taking action against the chinese tech giant over security concerns if the canadian government does ban were away from participating in the five g. network then asked what kind of repercussions they'll be i'm not sure but i believe there will be repercussions are to rapidly produce the evangelos takes us through

this snowballing dispute between china and canada. it's pretty much comes down to who is going to dominate the five g. race five g. is the next generation network which will provide a faster and quicker internet speed will you be able to upload files or chat with your friends via what's up is the ground or facebook now again it's more efficient than the previous one which is four g. and it's much much faster as i said earlier but i guess this is just for the average the user like me and everybody else but for big companies this means big box and guess who wants to be first in this race it is imperative that america be fruits in fifth generation where a list acknowledges there's one thing that stands between the u.s. and all that money and that is why the chinese firm that has now deployed its products and services in more than one hundred seventy countries around the world is the world's leading telecommunications equipment manufacturer we even surpassing last year apple as

a second largest when it comes to manufacturing cell phones now that makes the u.s. worry u.s. prosecutors are now building a criminal case against chinese firms accusing them of stealing trade secrets from american companies senators are now trying to impose a bill to ban the cells of u.s. chips and components the chinese firms and the reason of course because they believe that the chinese firms in the u.s. are acting on behalf of the chinese communist party pretty much spying is really serious concerns among u.s. officials for a potential role in cyber espionage given their reported links to china's state security services and while way threaten the security of our networks due to their close ties to the chinese government has reportedly of course they deny any connection between them and the government and beijing and they still stay confident that they will lead the race in the five inches taller but the u.s. of course is actually pressuring its allies to ban it has already been banned in

new zealand taiwan and australia and the u.s. government continued to pressure its the u.k. and. norway france germany czech republic poland and japan to follow the same path as them and all this of course crisis is coming as the world is on the horns of a dilemma whether to follow or to follow the us despite efforts in markets creating fear about way using politics to interfere with growth customers continue to trust us and continue to work with us and build networks with our technologies it's like running a race we are leading we'll see whether this is indeed a case of actually security issues or this is just competitors pressuring governments around the world. for a photo of a ten year old canadian boy dressed up in full drag and stood next to a naked drunk queen has caused outrage online the boy is a child drag star known as queen taisha they why they said image has caused many to

question whether it's appropriate for a child to be involved in the world of drag but the boy's mother has defended his passion she knows there are a dulled aspects of drag the he's not allowed to apply to his show well the photographer beyond the controversial image has defended the accompanying article saying it was a balanced and thoughtful piece about the issue of sexualizing children despite that though he subsequently deleted his social media accounts psychologist dr r. an imitator told is that children dressing up in drag is not an innocuous past time as some claim. i've taught human sexuality almost twenty years nearly eighty times my mother opened up canada's first sex store so i am not prudish i am as a liberal and open minded as you get but i'm also a psychologist and you don't need to be a psychologist to know that a child in gauging in this type of behavior where their self image their identity

is totally centered around sexuality now some people say well he's just dancing around he's a dressing like a girl that's not sexual anyone who knows the history of drag queens knows that there is a sexual component is it the only component no but it is a large part of it so to have a young child parading around for money doing things that is associated with an adult form of sexuality where they are completely objectified people are not going there for their personality they're not going there because they think that they're intelligent or charming although charm might be part of the persona they're going there for this other part of it just somebody has a late teen or an adult wants to engage in this fine but when you're young child you're still trying to find out who you are you're still trying to gain a sense of who you are in this world and that who you are is purely about your image and about your sexuality regardless of what they want to claim this is what

how other people are seeing them it will have a lasting impact on most children. to me to me is once again sexual assault has been making headlines since twenty seven told however it was found it is more than a decade ago and some think it's a very tough quarter from its original purpose ways but with seventy and philosophize level these days echo gave us his thoughts on when mitsu has been and where it's going. you know my. guy i talk about six. pop chips they say this is the only view. of. some black we mean. me and years ago already proposed that. they no race they're pretty good thoughts and believe me he's

no longer what it was. no this excessive mixture say you are wrong you are immediately and so all of a must of the fact that need to wait but only if the day it doesn't stocks social problems daily exploitation and so on and so on. let's be frank although they speak about us what they really be today if fear of their neighbor i won't make peace lead the main dish that defeats the big movement but how. did you start that. pretty easy mode this late got to tell each individual has the need to move them.

power move by disinviting donald trump from delivering his state of the union address to congress is this a winning move the democrats will take a look at that on this edition. of the politicking on larry king on wednesday house speaker nancy pelosi suggested that president trump reschedule or submitted in writing his flan state of the union address kegel for later this month in her disinvite the speaker cites strains to security preparations caused by the partial government shutdown republicans were quick to blast fellow sees move as petty politics what happens now and will move back fire or help the democratic party let's start there with former democratic representative elizabeth holtzman once the youngest female member of congress she
