are cool under which these guys are blowing through to air it just means to. need to be helped and not get pushed on by the v.a.'s are as drugs go and stuff they need to be helped. and they just really should be looked at like numbers they should be looked at like people if they go to a veteran center for health issues be considered as someone who really needs attention.

germany said it's stalled on saving the cold war nuclear arms treaty with the u.s. to pull the plug. on the move could threaten local security. also coming up on the program britain's prime minister rushes to draw up a new. deal government documents that just a second referendum would be on the cards. which is are put to the test in their first tactical training exercises here r.t.d. is there to witness all the dizzying action in a story. just

go in one minute past four pm here in moscow this friday january be it ain't welcome to r.t. international my name's union only in our top story russia on germany's top diplomats have condemned washington's decision to walk away from a key cold war era missile treaty following a meeting in moscow they stated the move undermines global stability. if we could after the u.s. leaves the i.n.f. treaty the whole system of control and the stability of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty will be under threat is in effect our cut we are really interested in saving the i.n.f. treaty and russia can assist us in. ok let's say delve deeper into this with our teacher among koester of joining us live on the program ramani you've been following the talks you've seen the interaction there it does appear firstly to be

a united front from the two countries top that all this i guess what washington is planning to do it brings up the spec on the. russian and german foreign ministers do seem to be on the same page as they met here in moscow for the for a press conference here in the russian capital discussed a wide range of issues and of course one of the dominating topics was the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty between russia and the united states now washington announced that it wants to withdraw from this treaty and this decision raised concerns not only in russia but throughout europe as well german official said that the u.s. withdrawal will undermine stability and as for the treaty itself says it should include more countries he suggested china for instance. which force i couldn't

imagine that someone in europe would be interested in a new nuclear arms race and the only option to prevent it is to continue i.n.f. treaty with the i.n.f. treaty as it is now is not enough we need to expand it because there are plenty of new autonomous weapon systems including those in cyberspace and they should be regulated not only the u.s. and russia should be included in the treaty but other states as well like china. now the united states is accusing russia all. violating this treaty but minister lavrov says that washington doesn't take into account that russia has a missiles that are not a part of that agreement. would be the most little should you go to the united states both blaming russia for violations of the i.m.f. treaty don't take into consideration the fact that russia has see in those that are not included in the treaty. now russia is

ready to continue negotiations regarding the treaty with the united states that despite that washington's ultimatum like approach now the u.s. has said that it will withdrawal from the treaty with russia as early as at the beginning of the next month now to give you some background about so this agreement was signed between the american president ronald reagan and solve it leader mikhail gorbachev back in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine and took effect just a year later now they greenlighted itself stipulated that the united states and the soviet union should destroy all of it's a ground based missiles that have ranges between five and fifty five hundred kilometers. and one culture of doing this right up to date from central moscow all not funk from. well fears of an arms race were not only prompted by the missile treaty dispute they were further exacerbated after donald

trump unveiled plans for an ambitious expansion of america's defense capabilities. token defense and we're also talking offense you know we can't forget off and see that again when we have the finest weapons in the world and we're ordering the finest weapons in the world america's just published the first review of its missile defense program it 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 in stealth the f. thirty five jets the donald trump administration wants a leap and technological development the president is keen to get a space force we will recognize that space is a new world frightening domain. with the space force leading the way. 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 did call out north korea and iran but in the program review you'll also find russia and china we are committed to establishing a missile defense program that can shield every city in the united states our goal is simple to ensure that we can detect and destroy any missile launched against the united states anywhere anytime anyplace 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 december. the us withdraw 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 there is no analogue of this system in the world 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. well political analyst chris bambery he thinks that the latest moves by donald trump can only lead to more militarization. what we have in the white house is very much a president who's pushing through pushes away despite criticism of our eyes and despite criticism within the administration within the defense of defense departments any new andris know 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 in the defense department the pentagon is that this is going to encourage the further militarization of china which up until now has not gone don't the rules of trying to catch up with the united states militarily happy to have its own economic power but if this begins it gets under way attacking china and russia by the americans actually the china could step up to the mark and that is a concern in the miracle military who are criticizing trub over not the treaty but over the decision to launch this new militarization of space. a newly leaked document shows that despite teresa mayes objections the u.k. government has been exploring the possibility of a second break that referendum the revelation comes after m.p.'s emphatically rejected the prime minister's original e.u.

divorce deal this week plunging the country deeper into political crisis the paper sets out a timetable for a second vote indicating that the whole process could take up to a year and includes seven months to live the legal groundwork then a further three months at least for testing that all important question it also discusses other practicalities including the length of time necessary for campaigning will initially media outlets question the legitimacy of the leak however dining street has responded by denying that the government is actively planning for a second vote now it claims that the document is purely for illustrator of purposes and has reiterated the prime minister's position that brags it will go ahead. there are those who want to see no deal and those who want to see a second referendum and potentially frustrate bret's 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 meanwhile the leader of the opposition labor party has said about the conditions under which he would support a second vote german. people's vote would be better than a no deal with sonority and despite the initial referendums once in a generation tag 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 so you're opinion would love for britain to cancel brix it but merely to for parliament to work out what the board actually should be doing that breaks it two and a half years after the start date the you would agree to that or

a recent poll has found that if a second referendum were to be held the majority of voters would love it choose to remain in the european union it's the biggest surgeon support for remains since the twenty six thing breaks a vote and there's polly explains a rerun of the referendum well it wouldn't be the first time. the people may have voted but the british parliament is in political turmoil over what the u.k.'s departure from lately you should look like if some politicians get their way whether it should happen at all to this issue but to the elected what else can we possibly. to the british public but to go back and. 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

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 the 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 sloth 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 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 protests. 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 brags 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 to bragg's it so given these circumstances there are plenty of politicians here keen to break the brag zip. you said as the noble thing to do. and just time learning things while speculation over a second vote continues british prime minister just three days to come up with a new deal to present to parliament on monday right still to come china fires a warning shot a calendar with a battle for tech dominance looming we're live in beijing for reaction on the.

that entire collection of countries and regions that have been the main economic. players for decades now over time they're going to become just much more players 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.

two of the largest countries in the world are locking horns and a smart phone security bottle counted as president has been warned by the chinese ambassador to the country of repercussions if while way is frozen eyed from building next generation mobile phone infrastructure that germany is another western nation considering action against the chinese tech giant over national security concerns here's what the chinese ambassador to canada had to say. if the canadian government does been a 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 well a producer for news agency explains what's behind a fifth generation tech race involving washington and not snowballing the speed between beijing and also one. it's pretty much comes down to who is going to dominate the five g. race five g.

is a 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 walks up it's 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 again 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 acknowledge east there is 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 like using them of stealing trade secrets

from american companies senators are now are 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 always has raised 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 each of colleges 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 continue 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 to follow the u.s. 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. and finally this news hour another doping scandal has rocked the world of sport this time in one of its more genteel disciplines and perhaps in ways that well mike not improve atlantic performance take a look. we

readings and. so as we start fresh in the new year of two thousand and nineteen many will tell you it's important to look forward. to on the past but my friends we cannot move forward and face the future problems of the day without understanding and putting an end to the problems of our past which is why today let's start the show by looking at a very disturbing trend that was brought to light in late november of last year a trend that will most certainly affect those of us living here in the united states is. we try and move forward into the two thousand and twenty s.
