treating countries like. fueling the. anger in the us media.

but we look at whether. your. critics. and suspect. smokescreen for. international and a very warm welcome to. the. cold . made by the country's deputy prime minister louis accuses of pursuing a colonialist policy in africa and of worsening the crisis in fact even.

the following report. france and italy have quite a long story of fighting as e.u. elections edged closer the two countries are increasingly looking to bolster their allies and to drown out the rival italy's it deputy prime minister has laid the blame for the on going my current crisis here in europe with france saying it's impoverished african nations with its colonialist policies. we must address the causes of this crisis because people are leaving africa in part because some european countries led by france have never stopped being colonizers he even went as far as calling for brussels dissension paris now some might say that it's a bit rich to lay the blame on france's colonial past given that italy too had colonies but to my use beef is that

a cooling to him france has never let go there are dozens of african countries in which france prints its own currency the franc of the colonies and with that currency french public debt is financed by italy's been ruffling feathers for a while including in its support for the yellow vests movement has been a french as i hope for the good of the french who are a great people that they come out of this moment of crisis macron was a laboratory invented product to stand in the way of any change on the horizon that seems obvious to me now. while rome's hand of friendship is being offered to world's other e.u. nations disgruntled with the influx of migration including hungary in poland they calling for a european spring french president has taken up the fight me holding on and he's just like it is indeed clear that today there is a strong opposition between nationalists and progressives and i will not give

anything away to nationalists and to those who deliver this hate speech and so if they wanted to see me as their main opponent they are right. france and italy have nanny bangs of contention immigration settlements in libya relations with russia and they can't even decide on leonardo da vinci's legacy but they do have one thing in common both want to take the lead within the e.u. show that even ski altie paris we spoke to monaco by sonnie professor of politics at the university of milan he things to my own make so fair point i think there is a basis for the ija demaio accusation against friends little group of countries in central africa in that treat francis the us they look for them for recognition during the civil war or they reach out for minister it's in france they use the

currency that is backed by the french treasury and so on him i'm saying if you don't call it media colonialism i wonder what what kind of policy could you call me a colonialism it's they are at an all time low those relations between the france and italy and it's clear why on this point not quality the government in france is really sort of eunice yoon regime walked out together the european union in the sort of the old elite for thirty or forty years amid tensions between paris and rome germany and france are seeking to strengthen ties to european heavyweights assigning a new treaty today which will set the stage for a close up bilateral relations on multiple levels however not everyone is entirely sold on the idea it does still sound a bit vague a peter all of a investing. germany and france will put pen to paper on a commitment to close the times this tuesday for the globe and us we believe that

the world has changed dramatically and now more than ever i want to build on what germany and france have already created together the draft of the deal was a little light on real details but there is a clear intent with it let's have a look at the deal was set for an increase in bilateral statements when it comes to major e.u. issues now this is something that's already fairly commonplace from the two now it's going to be in writing there's also plans for war fiscal integration and what's being called the franco germany konami zone. on the military front both nations want their armed forces to be as into twined as their economies with germany and france combining to reinforce nato and it's also it's being called the fostering of a common culture in the ranks and they franco german security council so the brass the politicians pulling in the same direction there's also foreign policy goals

which may prove a little less straightforward including a permanent seat for germany on the un security council but not everyone is happy about these e.u. powerhouses getting even more chummy and cementing their position within the bloc. europe is used to the franco german axis but we're seeking a new balance a new energy and in this sense poland and italy will be the protagonists of this new european spring there's also domestic upset over the deal alternative for germany say it erodes german sovereignty while the same sentiments have been echoed by the usual suspects in france are seen also triggered by sending the sacked on the quiet in the way to market on committees treason with briggs's on the rise of euro skepticism it makes sense that berlin and paris would look to team up. not brings us back to the question of foreign policy how will the interventionist

french sit with the germans we now know for the coalition. expects a lovely display for the cameras in the border city of aachen on tuesday but we've seen those before without any fundamentally changing global military outlook it's hard to see how they deal change much or anything at all. political. told us the new treaty is designed foremost as a safeguard against opposition. in my point of view it is more then just a statement it is the release of the rulers and arrows and bowing to

citizens. and both against their own or rebel against them as you can see the yellow west in paris now it is. quite a danger is going to every poll says the vast majority is against it but mrs merkel. has showed that it is all through the decisions in the us that she doesn't care at all on whether she has a man from the list our nor from the citizens of it. also in germany a major iranian airline has been banned over security concerns it is a move welcomed by washington will be delving into that story a bit later in this hour. so there are always two sides to each and every story something that appears to be true about the standoff between a student wearing a make america great again cap and a native american veteran

a video of the two taken to washington went viral sparking outrage in the media so our correspondent now assesses what is not being reported in the story. a visual like this will get your blood boiling. the catholic high school student who comes face to face with a native american elder in a viral video is now responding to the media went wild a youth in trump's trademark tat disrespecting an elderly native american just starving viral video has sparked outrage toward covington catholic high school just stirring viral video shows a model seems to make america great again for ratzinger native american out there in washington a troubling incident at the foot of the lincoln memorial and it wasn't just any native american this guy is a vietnam veteran he was instantly turned into a hero by celebrities and the media the red make america great again to have is the new white hood without white boys been able to empathize with other people humanity

will continue to destroy itself this is appalling the ignorance the goal the disrespect it's shameful that native american man showed incredible strength and dignity and i heard him say you know down. here i sit here because we have to stay strong all of us that the one who is all that anger and all of that wanting to. have to freedom to just rip me apart but there's always more to the story than a single snapshot. that make america great again. look at it. we think. we would not make it look again. it turns out that the boys were taunted rather hatefully by black nationalists and others and all kinds of hate was

unloaded on them simply for wearing trunks a baseball cap and furthermore unlike those trying to provoke them the boy in the picture he simply stood silently however he did put a defiant grin on his face. compared to. the young man is now penned his version of events he's getting death threats from across the globe i'm being called every name in the book including a racist and i will not stand for the small black character assassination of my family's name so some channels are now editing the story but the damage is already done this is turned into a huge story only because this child was wearing a make america great again i think that there is a serious lack of integrity in reporting at the end of the day everybody wants to put their own spin on a story it's no longer about who what when where and why it's about how could we

spin this in a way that benefits our narrative. as being a social media backlash after an american muslim activist was misidentified as a pakistani actress by u.s. fashion magazine. one of the. you. know. nora toggery is a journalist of libyan origin who promotes women's rights she gonna global media attention by becoming the first muslim woman to appear in playboy a shoot for which she wore a head job and other clothing to curry says she's been misidentified multiple times by the media before last year her photos were used to represent nora salma the wife of the orlando nightclub shooter misrepresentation and misidentification is a constant problem if you're

a muslim in america and as much as i work to fight this there are moments like this where i feel defeated. vogue magazine later posted an apology saying they were sincerely sorry for the mix up they also added that they were thrilled at the chance to photograph toggery and shine a light on the important work she does but some on twitter i think the apology was not good enough. and apologies not enough you should give up but when it is if you in an upcoming issue is a very near future it is simply not good enough and stains will get superstation badly absolutely disgraceful very disappointing you need a better proofreaders need a full featured interview in the future each year. earlier we spoke with our money i'll bet founder of muslim girl dot com she says the media needs to recruit for more diverse backgrounds to avert the problem of misidentifying muslims. i think

this is absolutely a problem i mean not only is this an issue within the media but it's also an issue in real life as well it's very common for muslim women and also women from many other minorities to be misrepresented mis identified misnamed especially in the public eye in the public space the surest way that we can regulate mistakes like by hiring people of color and placing the mike in the hands of the people that we're reporting on and the stories that we're trying to tell that in this case it really shone a light and what a big difference it can make right you know really can use somebody from a completely different background in a completely different profession or exploit only different identity i think really just shows how deep the problem really goes. the leaders of russia and japan are meeting here in moscow later on tuesday for talks on finally signing

a world war two peace treaty between the two countries a major sticking point up until now has been of russia's kuril islands which to pound still lays claim to the head of the talks hundreds rallied here in moscow calling on the kremlin not to cede the territories. it's guaranteed barely anyone possibly even zero people in this crowd have been all the way here seven thousand kilometers away roughly the distance from london to miami but the protesters are out there standing in the cold to defend the fate of this group of little islands. which also in this case means defending what came out of world war two without digging into history too much japan was then germany's ally and eventually lost along with the rest of hitler's axis and these three men the winners agreed on see item three the

handover of the karylle islands to the so that union some ten years later the u.s.s.r. in japan officially ended his still ities but never signed a peace agreement more than six decades later we're in a whole new reality where the russian president can say no it is a key issue he needed me to go to. meeting in the summer with. a b c h u b to each new facility where japan's prime minister makes an oath on his father's grave to sort the russian issue as journalists have reported but despite the apparent friendship i mean putin and i have been seen clinking glasses enjoying ballet at moscow's bolshoi watching a judo showdown and even having a fun moment with mr putin's japanese dog something has always gone wrong with the peace treaty progress tokyo keeps saying it has a historic right to claim the south coral's they call them northern territories

moscow keeps repeating its sovereignty over the islands can to be questioned and some of the words that come out when russian and japanese politicians are not together aren't helping all the inhabitants of the northern territories or russians . position in the negotiations is not about saying please get out of there a rather murky thing to say when nothing's been decided moscow was unhappy with that at all so when smiles and all kinds of positive signals get mixed with a bunch of disclaimers you won't call pleasant even the journalists are left baffled what's up for discussion and what's not but what if this tuesday sees a historic cold peace agreement finally emerge the meeting is set to start at two pm moscow time and that's in well less than two hours from now there will be a media briefing afterwards and here when r.t. international will bring it all to you. venezuelan security forces have detained

twenty seven members of the national guard accusing them of launching an uprising against the government. the arrests were made during a pre-dawn raid in caracas the national guard reportedly taken a police captain hostage and stolen a cache of weapons but instead it was followed by street on a rest near the police station a residence set fire to rubbish bins and chanted calls for president my daughter to resign and they were dispersed by riot police. the u.s. expressed support for all. who says he's ready to replace mr dorner. only about halfway through the program so far here on r.t. still to come fourteen people dead and as many rescued as a fire rips through cargo ships off the coast of crimea or bring you more on that in a moment. you

know world big partisan movies. and conspiracies it's time to wake up 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 back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development only. exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down

and talk. twelve to twenty one pm here in moscow germany has banned a major iranian airline from using the country's ports citing security concerns a government spokesman explain them. as they cannot be ruled out. be used to transport things germany that affects our security concerns this is especially true against a terrorist activities intelligence some terrorist activities from the iranian soil and the reigning entities in europe. for you is the second largest airline in

iran it is privately owned with no direct links to the iranian government the carrier operates routes across asia and europe. including four flights a week between germany and tara ron now martin air has been under u.s. sanctions since twenty eleven washington has accused the company of transporting arms to so-called terrorist proxy groups including hezbollah and of providing support to the syrian government the trouble ministration has welcomed germany's decision to ban this airline. the u.s. welcomes germany's decision to deny landing rights to iran's most the airline transports weapons and fighters across the middle east supporting the iranian regime's destructive from be sure it's around the region we encourage all our allies to follow suit. last week a fifty year old german afghan citizen was detained in germany on suspicion of spying for iran iran's foreign ministry dismissed the allegations as a total fabrication

a geo political analyst rainer office says berlin is just out to curry favor with washington. era. pressure since donald trump has gotten out of the nuclear deal from germany. a request of nato countries above all united states. air during many years to all unravel and to all we. in respect of that relations to the to the united states to with stand there with this move has happened just two days before our foreign minister. will be resitting washington so maybe it's also thought to be like a president like a gift that wants to bring to washington. the worlds of political and business elites a congregating in the small swiss town of davos for the annual form of that name which kicks off today artes and i see

a truck and it has more of what i expected amidst champagne lunches and the high end gifts dabbous indeed is a household name a world renowned economic forum that attracts political leaders and business trendsetters from all over the world every year since it started back in the seventy's now thousands of delegations from countries all over the world for hundreds of sessions and indeed some glamorous mixing and mingling here in switzerland followed by crowds of journalists who try to detect what's the next biggest headline is going to be but it seems this year quite unusually the big story is also who isn't here rather than who is here because we see key western players having to stick around back home to deal with domestic issues those of course include u.s. president donald trump who just last year was the center of attention here in davos

indeed this year he had to cancel the trip because of the longest running shutdown in u.s. his. stree also british prime minister theresa may sticking around back in london to figure out brags that she has little time to do it so she's working on that we have the french president who has the situation on fire back where he is so he's staying back in france to deal with the yellow vests protests so some experts are saying that this is quite indicative that to an important and prestigious gathering such as this one these key western leaders are not going to be attending this time around however this doesn't mean there is not events to look forward to we certainly have a handful of leaders still attending german chancellor angela merkel is here so we're going to be watching closely what she has to say on the e.u. and brags that particularly of course the brazilian president the new brazilian president is on his first international tour quite

a controversial character according to many he's giving a speech this tuesday so that's something to look out for and these really prime minister benjamin netanyahu here those are just some of the political faces but certainly business headliners are here as well so there's really a lot going on throughout the week and we'll be here watching all of that unravels . well the world's twenty six richest people now own as much as the poor heart of the world's population that's according to a report from the british charity. he's going on the ground spoke with tony head of advocacy at oxfam you can watch the full program on wednesday for now a preview. saying that picture getting worse and less we're seeing more and more wealth being concentrated in the hands of people but what we're also saying is really stark pictures of you know these vast numbers of people who don't have access to education or how you know vast number of people living really very little

money with very little well then you know what we see consistently. is that wealth guys undertaxed actually. we see the poorest people in the world paying huge amounts of tax in income tax will be eighty while this wealth is is not really taxed appropriately and then very little money being able to be spent on public services like health and education that could be a real equalizer for those people living in poverty in the report we identify a number of countries the brazil it examples where the poorest ten percent are actually spending a higher proportion of their income on top three things like income tax and the eighty than the richest are a big part of that is because while taxes are so small just four cents in every dollar of tax revenue that are created worldwide comes from wealth taxes the rest comes from taxes on purchasing i think. it is our international fourteen people have died many were rescued after

a fire ripped through two cargo ships in the coach strait off just off the coast of crimea according to the russian authorities some people jumped into the sea to escape the flames three crew members are still missing with a search and rescue operation still underway both of the cargo ships were under the tanzanian flag the fire reportedly erupted as one ship was transferring fuel to the other. already turning into a busy day for your world wide headlines here on r t we are back soon with. you know world of big partisan movies a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up 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 back and 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. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. seemed wrong. but i will just don't call. me. yet to say proud disdain comes to consecrate and in detroit equals betrayal. when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

now i was always brought up to trust doctors and also a lot of people say i trust doctors they know what they're doing. until you find out where they don't and from there is a snowball effect when you're hurt by something or medication especially. the doctors almost become. defensive when you're trying to tell them things like this and they up and they're only answer is the more drugs and try more drugs and try more drugs. and it's just scary and it's and it's tiring don't go to your psychiatrist they get offended because they have feet of sand they're selling a false product so they get very angry as a group i mean there are always exceptions but as a group they get angry they might even lock you up for.
