2:07 pm
children and her family are without having to face such a very difficult circumstance like. russia and 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 that they stated the move undermines and global stability. after the us leaves the i.n.f. treaty the whole system of arms control and the stability of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty will be under threat. we are really interested in saving the i.n.f. treaty and russia can assist us in 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 so other states as well like china the u.s. has said it will withdraw from the i.n.f. treaty agreement with russia at the beginning of next month moscow says it's
2:08 pm
invited us inspectors to examine the missiles which washington claims that violate the treaty but to no avail. the i.n.f. treaty was signed in one thousand nine hundred eighty seven by ronald reagan and gorbachev and took effect a year later it stipulated that both the us and the soviet union destroy all ground based missiles with ranges between five hundred and fifty five hundred kilometers. fears of an arms race were not only prompted by the missile treaty dispute there were further exacerbated after unveiled plans for an ambitious expansion of america's defense capabilities talking defense and we're also talking to our friends to get off. 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 in it besides plans to deploy twenty new ground based interceptors in
2:09 pm
alaska as well as new radars and sensors besides plans to use laser or armed drones and stealth the f. thirty five jets the donald trump administration wants a leap in technological development the president is keen to get a space force we will recognize that space is a new world striding 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
2:10 pm
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. the russian foreign affairs ministry
2:11 pm
has expressed its concern with the american plans to develop space defense and is calling for dialogue with the white house while political analyst chris bambery thinks that the latest move by donald trump can only lead to more militarization. what we have in the white house is very much a president who is pushing for pushes on way despite criticism of our eyes and despite criticism within the administration within the defense of defense departments 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 american defense in 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 down the road of trying to catch up with the united states militarily happy to have its own economic power but if this begins its own laundry gets under way attacking
2:12 pm
china and russia by the americans actually china could step up to the mark and that is a concern in the mail american military who are criticizing trub over not the treaty but over the decision towards this new militarization of space. and nearly leaked document shows that despite the razor maze objections the u.k. government has been exploring the possibility of a second referendum the revelation comes after m.p.'s and phatic lee rejected the prime minister's original 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 that includes seven months to lay the legal groundwork and a further three months at least for testing the question it also discusses other practicalities including the length of time necessary for campaigning initially media outlets ques. in the legitimacy of the leak however downing street confirm
2:13 pm
such a document exists while denying the government is actively planning for a second vote they said the paper is purely for illustrate of purposes and reiterated the prime minister's position that brags 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 brax it a second referendum would lead 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 in the leader of the opposition labor party has set out the conditions under which he would support a second vote jeremy corbyn has said that a solo named people's vote would be better than a no deal scenario despite the initial referendums once in a generation tag. lee 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
2:14 pm
unanimously agreed by our conference last september eleventh what should happen right now is that we leave on the twenty ninth of march on w t o terms because that's what's written into the law but the problem you have is that the parliamentarians the m.p.'s are against the people the people's decision back in the referendum in twenty sixteen so i think over the next ten weeks the six hundred fifty m.p.'s are going to try to do everything they possibly can to extend article fifty overturn article fifty or have another referendum and to set themselves against what the people have decided i really don't think that there's a majority in parliament for completely overturning. repealing article fifty it's doubtful whether there is actually a majority for extending or to article fifty either or or having the people's vote so without a majority for any one of these particular options we will leave. because
2:15 pm
that's what's already written into into law a recent poll has found that if a second referendum were to be how to majority of voters would now choose to remain in it's the biggest surge in support for a main since the twenty sixth and as poly explains a rerun of a referendum 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 electorate what else can we possibly. to the british public to get back a. week this 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
2:16 pm
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
2:17 pm
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. that i see dear sloth as a sign of confidence for 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 put night. in twenty fifteen the new greek prime minister staged a referendum in which greek citizens overwhelmingly rejected the e.u.'s austerity
2:18 pm
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 men but a couple of years later david cameron's westminster government imposed them on the region anyway late last year the e.u. is top court ruled that the u.k. can unilaterally stop gregg's it stressing that the twenty sixteen referendum here wasn't legally binding so technically in terms of the law the u.k. government is free to do whatever it chooses be it plowing ahead with leaving or nothing into river shore stopping gregg's it would be a failure to deliver on the will of the people but after two and
2:19 pm
a half years of political turmoil here in the u.k. public opinion has shifted the latest polls now show that some fifty six percent of u.k. voters would say no to bragg's it and given the circumstances there are now plenty of politicians keen to break the bread as it promised and sell it as the noble thing to do. and while speculation over a second vote continues to resume has just three days to come up with a new deal to present to parliament on monday. now hundreds of elite russian paratroopers have been braving heavy snow and icy skies as they hold their first a tactical exercises of the autism area for travel to western vasher to watch them being put through their paces and perform some hair raising feats.
