one who really needs attention. for headline stories this hour germany's foreign minister says his country wants to save the cold war era nuclear arms treaty which the u.s. has to pull the plug on the live reaction on not coming up. as britain's

prime minister treason may russia's to conjure up a new. government document suggests a second referendum beyond the current. russia's born forces are up to that in their first training exercises all of the year the pictures are quite stunning on our t.v. is there to witness all that disney shit. live from moscow to the world this is r t international your company i mean and their top story following a meeting in moscow the foreign ministers of russia under it. ne have issued

statements condemning the trump administration's decision to walk away from a key cold war era missile treaty they say the move undermines global stability while we can go live to our teaser among caution reminds me following the talks forrest it does seem like the two foreign ministers are putting on a very united front on all this from on what ailes have they said. well absolutely the issue to regards to the i.n.f. treaty that the united states wants to withdraw from has been dominating the headlines quite a lot recently. simulates is that washington wants to withdraw from treaty and that will affect the rest of europe and certainly raised concerns on the continent here is what german foreign minister said in that regard. these efforts are cut we are really interested in saving the i.n.f.

treaty and russia can assist us in. the german foreign minister also suggested that the i.n.f. treaty should be expanded to all the countries as well he mentioned china for for instance and he just to give you a little bits of the background about the treaty itself signed back in one thousand eight hundred nine by then american president ronald reagan and head of the soviet union mikhail gorbachev and the treaty stipulates that both countries should destroy missiles with the range off and whoever five hundred fifty five hundred kilometers well the us has said that it wants to withdraw from this treaty as early as the next months and of course the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov said that this move will destroy destabilize this. to asian. students

. after the us leaves the i.n.f. treaty the whole system of control and the stability of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty movie under threat. well under that agreement neither side has the right to produce or deploy and as such missiles in the future however sergey lavrov also said today that the i.m.f. a treaty was signed between the two countries does not include those missiles that are based at sea or in the air that was very important live from moscow this hour bring us right up to date on that roman culture of. well the latest dispute comes after a double trump on veiled plans for expansion of america's defense capabilities now that was in response itself to a pentagon review outlining the threats facing the country let's delve

a little bit deeper. picks apart the story. were gardeners 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 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 and 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. 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 saying sure 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 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 seven. 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. and strategic defenses is america's overblown military budget and everything it's being spent on parity means global security. a lot of aspects to this story let's get in an overview really a global security on all these issues with political analyst chris bambery chris always a pleasure to welcome you on to the program chris if we go back to the eighty's ninety seven we've been showing our viewers throughout the hours that meeting between reagan and gorbachev signing the treaty into being and bach then it was seen as crucial is it still as vital to global security. yes i think it is and i

think that's why the german foreign minister was making such an issue of it but if i may i think it's worth going back a little bit further and talking about the events which went up to gorbachev agreeing that a treaty would reagan because what we saw in the one nine hundred eighty s. was the americans initiating an arms race with the aim of bankrupting the soviet union and of recognizing its where can we and that's affected we what they did and that's what drove gorbachev to the table and that's a very sure way to the demise of the soviet union any new reason when they are talking about them in iran hasn't got nuclear weapons north korea is using locking technology they are talking about russia and china any new arms race no which is what trump is threatening particularly with china china is not going to go bankrupt and in fact one of the concerns of american defense and the defense department the

pentagon is is that this is going to encourage the further militarization of china which up until now has not gone don't the road of trying to catch up with the united states militarily happy to have its own economic power but if this begins if an arms race gets under way attacking china and russia by the americans actually china could step up to the mark and that is a concern in the merican military who are criticizing trub over not the treaty but over the decision to launch this new militarization of space how much of import is today's development sensually you've got the top diplomats of russia and germany coming out. in essentially a united front against america pulling of this dish germany have the weight to make washington second second think this or is trump and his colleagues already on the road to dismantling it. well i think germany doesn't have the weight i think people

have to look at the government of germany angela merkel she's on her way out that's the first calculation but i say secondly the americas a look at the european union and think well britain may be on with the european union but britain and france are probably not going to go down that road they'll stick with the americans that's the traditional way policy we've been the germans relatively isolated and with an incoherent european union response what we have to remember here of course is germany's quite closely tied economically to russia depending on it for energy as major interests which is not the same with with say france and france and france and britain so i think the americans will really not pay much attention to what the german foreign minister is saying and anyway i mean donald trump is not particularly a receptive to the european union as we as we know all saw what we have in the white house is very much

a president who's pushing for easy pushes away despite criticism of our eyes and despite criticism within the administration within the defense the defense department's the ramifications are huge either way you look at this chris aren't they ed thanks so much for your time this hour political analyst chris bambery live on the program. moving on a newly leaked document shows that the spy trees amaze objections the u.k. government has been exploring the possibility of a second breaks at referendum the revelation comes after m.p.'s emphatically rejected the prime minister's original e.u. to force deal plunging the country deeper into political crisis the paper sets and timetable for a second vote indicating that the whole process could take up to a year the includes seven months to late the legal ground work and a further three months up least for testing the question it also discusses other practicalities including the length of time necessary for campaigning. however

downing street has responded to the leak by denying the government is actively planning for a second vote it claims the document is purely for quotes illustrate the purposes reiterated the prime minister's position that breaks it will go ahead there are those who want to see no deal with those who want to see a second referendum and potentially frustrate it a second referendum would lead instead to division it's my duty to deliver on the british people's instruction to leave the european union and i intend to do so lots of different opinions coming out of london this week the leader of the opposition labor party he said the conditions under which he would support a second vote they're waiting for that for quite some time jeremy corbyn saying that assume people's vote would be better than the new deal so the spite the initial referendums once in a generation tag. all the options are on the table including the public vote option

which we make 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 brics it two and a half years after the start date you would agree that. the recent poll has fallen that if a second referendum where to be held the majority of voters would choose to remain in the it's the biggest surge in support for remain since the twenty sixteen breaks had felt as polly boycott looks through a rerun of the referendum well it 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 are the options with. the british public but to get back. to. this is a cause 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 a reunion 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. the irish decision on the use defacto constitution the lisbon treaty suffered the same fate majority in favor of the proposal. i see deer salute as a sign of confidence about the irish people and european union as

a sign of their desire to be all hearted members of the opinion. before the break shambles it was the greek debt crisis keeping e.u. officials are put night. in twenty fifteen the new greek prime minister staged a referendum in which greek citizens overwhelmingly rejected the e.u.'s 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 snapping 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 brags it so given these circumstances there are plenty of politicians here keen to break the brags that promise to sell it as the noble thing to do. a busy news that continues right after this.

you know world big. lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell. me to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the bath 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. seem wrong. to stamp out. and in. the trail.

find themselves worlds apart. chance to look for common ground. ok let's head out into the great white house not because hundreds of elite russian parra troopers are being braving heavy snow and icy skies as they hold their first talk to kill exercises all of the year artie's maria from the she was among them travelling to western russia to watch them all being put through their paces and performed some her raising feats take a look. i

. found it almost ninety years ago of the russian airborne assault forces also known as the considered to be among the finest fighting forces in the country this traditional blue brazen drive under surer than the symbol of elite fighters in russia today the raises you can see are replaced with why the hell is the guys are going to the skies today. before the troopers board the aircraft all the equipment should be very carefully checked obviously any mistake could cost the lives of these young military men.

russian paratroopers are told to lend anytime of the take any. in any to rain snow like this one all. they proved this during crazy like today was they laid it on i was right.

but he. would just go those in the. windows and i would do this with you. it isn't busted or to kill it it has hit on a just in trudeau's government warning that there will be consequences if while away is frozen out of the country's five g. network kind of that 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 will way 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 a producer from artie's news agency roughly texas through know the 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 span will you be able to upload files or chat with your friends via walks up is that graham or faced. look 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 bucks 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 the chinese firms accusing them of stealing trade secrets from american companies senators are now trying to impose 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 cooperate 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 egypt ology but the u.s. of course is actually pressuring its allies to ban it and has already been banned in new zealand taiwan and australia and the u.s. government continued to pressure its the u.k.

norway france and germany czech republic poland and japan to follow the same path as them and all this of course crisis as the world is on the horns of a dilemma whether to follow way or the fall of the u.s. despite efforts in markets creating fear about one way using pub. the tics 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 and we'll see whether this is indeed a case of actually a security issue or this is just competitors pressuring governments around the world. a photo of a ten year old canadian boy dressed up in full drug stud next to a naked drag queen has caused shock and outrage online the boy is a child drug star known as queen latium but the image led many to question whether it's appropriate for a youngster to be involved in the worth of driving while some or even accusing the

parents of child abuse the boy's mother however has defended his position. he knows their idol the aspects of drag that he's not allowed to apply to his show well the photographer behind the controversial image has the fended the accompanying article saying it was a balanced and thoughtful piece about the issue of sexualizing children psychologist dr oren imitate the list that children dressing up in drag is not a knock us past them is something it's not just about a child having fun and dressing up there's far more to it this is one of the reason that child one of the reasons child actors very often at least in north america end up having very serious social and personal problems because they never learned to develop a sense of self they were always in front of a camera they were always performing so these parents and again i'm not identify any specific parent but any parent who puts their child in this type of position is
