construction of the nord stream to pipeline to deliver gas from russia directly to europe is causing geo political concerns negotiations in brussels between russia ukraine and the e.u. regarding the current gas transit route which goes through ukraine have failed to lead to a concrete agreement and europe is all of a sudden making changes to his legislation that complicate the construction of this pipeline. the commission remains fully committed to the gods that active amendment our aim is to have a coherent set of energy rules applied to offshore pipelines. in the case. on shore by plants meanwhile the u.s. has its own fears over the construction of the pipeline with trump repeating many times that it will play into the hands of russia and the u.s.

ambassador to germany sent out a warning that sanctions may be applied to any and all countries supporting nord stream to. as you are aware the united states strongly opposes nord stream to the pipeline poses serious jew political consequences to our european allies and partners we continue to stress that firms operating in the russian energy export pipeline sector are engaging in activities that carry significant sanctions risk however germany's are an energy minister responded by saying russia was a long term reliable partner adding that the warnings from the u.s. will not change burdens plans and to me so i'm trying to be sure for engineer you see i as a federal minister if i'm standing here not pale and not shaking i'm not afraid if someone sends a letter i can deal with it not just officials but also the german public support the construction of this pipeline with just more than seventy percent saying it's

right to push ahead political analyst thomas fassbender thinks the u.s. is afraid that rush around europe will become closer both economically and strategically via north stream to. is a certain fear of growing importance of a growing dependence a piece of europe as a whole or even not germany on russian gas there is an underlying fear that russia might interfere with the domestic politics and the pipeline is of course used as an instrument also to move against or to decrease the power and influence of those in europe who favor a stronger and a more normal relationship neighborly relationship with russia again. russia and the u.s. are in a ciccio strategic rivalry there is of course a certain fear in the us that europe and the us at and russia might move closer

together. put a partner in moscow and israeli religious organization for. women is suing a city just east of tel aviv that's known as an ultra orthodox municipality thora has been i bought a banned advertisement is promoting early screening for breast cancer and it's not heard the first time ads featuring women have been removed from public display in the city for the liberal opposition party's female leader zippy livni shown in yellow was erased from the billboard leaving only her male colleagues a live neighbor sponsored with a video of herself standing in front of the billboard and voicing her concern but some of you they would like to think surely i'm not but that's not my face they're asking to bring those or you'll think this is places i was rarely women over fifty percent of the population that's your voice men and women who want israel to be

a liberal state join the fight against this. that's it that's all that's how it should be. i think it's it's wrong to blur the face of a woman can't you control yourself even a little bit i mean you can't see a woman's face anywhere without getting aroused what's wrong with you it's very plain with you this is a free country comment on the issue meantime though it's not just featuring human women that have been banned in that area last year an image of smurfette from the comic strip cartoon the smurfs was removed from a billboard but i bought it so authorities said they were concerned that the cartoon character might incite the feelings of the city's residents we spoke with a towel a former deputy mayor of the israeli city of it on and she told us that orthodox communities ignore the law when it comes to religious rules. nay buckets it is

an ultra orthodox community they feel that they have the right of though it's illegal to take it down these women they bought the space for their pictures for the billboards they paid for the space like everyone else does and it was taken down so of course it's not legal i must explain the situation however to the ultra orthodox community it does not matter if it's legal or illegal it's something according to vera rules and regulations which is ultra religious rules and regulations they say that a face of a woman can that be seen as shown in public in public domain. so which world figure postell president is france's emanuel mccrone compacts who we put the question to the people of powers next.

what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president. wanted. to write to the press this is like the three of them or can't be good. interested in the why. they should. make manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling class is protect themselves. when the crime. lifts only the one percent. we can all middle of the

room see. their program here on our city kind of as the united states says canadians are the ones at the receiving end of china's fury over american efforts to get the c.f.o. of chinese electronics while way extradited we don't like that is os it is and who is being punished the americans of the one seeking to have the full force of american law votes against main one joe and yet we have the ones who are paying the price while ways chief financial officer was detained in december in the request of washington although released on bail she is accused of violating u.s. sanctions against iran. the arrest of course the diplomatic rift between canada and

china with beijing detaining two canadian citizens and recently sentencing a third to death for drug smuggling china urges both canada and america to correct their mistakes and free us men. now much anyone with normal judgment can see that canada has made a serious mistake on this issue from the very beginning we edged the canadian side to immediately release making one show and protect her legitimate rights we also strongly urge the u.s. to immediately correct the mistake with draw the arrest warrant against men one show and not make a formal extradition request to canada. one canadian journalist told us the dispute has created an impossible dilemma for the country's government. for the canadian judicial system this is shameful but it's being done because of the pressure coming from the united states and canada have not too many ways to resist that

pressure china could hurt. i guess united states can hurt count even more so out of being a small country if defenseless country really just has to to opt for the lesser of two evils the united states to wherever like no matter what and so. there can show always some anger and. the embassador can be speaking on the news or you know to american authorities making statements. not in a position to argue very much with the united states and will have to suffer the consequences imposed by china. not as something on the gentle side of news and every other unlikely ton of offense a homeless man has been given a chance to piece his life back together it's a special story and it's all thanks to one person in southern russia.

i came home from work and saw a man lying on the floor where the problems are now standing it was cold outside on the. shoreline why did the man to my place i said come in let's have some tea and then we'll see what we can do. i handed the phone over to sergey the moment he said hello i heard his daughter song and she then started asking him. why did you do that surrogate to started crying but his still tried to calm her down saying don't cry my little girl don't

cry. i was crying hysterically when i heard from dad's i bought a nice b.k. and rushed across the way he was. like and she said all adults apprentices were happy to learn he tends they've donated money to pay for his rehabilitation everyone's chipping in to help.

it is our international on your wednesday program here thanks for joining us our fire officials in the french city of toulouse have created a special investigation group looking for extremists who commit violent acts during protests following the weeks of yellow vest demonstrations that have gripped france shot to do once again try to gauge attitudes on the streets of paris to that of the french president. as france has been engulfed by the yellow vests protest some french media have suggested similarities between president clinton's way of doing things and the sixteenth now as history attests things didn't turn out quite so well for me with the country turning it back on the mall a key in a bloody revolution was comparisons haven't gone down well with mark or he seems a bit miffed at the idea that he's another movie so much so that exactly two

hundred twenty six years after losing face the guillotine mark owen held a forum for the world's business elite where well in a palace of course. because that doesn't scream elite taking a moment to reflect on what happened two hundred twenty six years ago mark owen said his fate wouldn't be the same. many people thought it was not a good day to gather here but when you look at french history if they ended up like that it's because a lot of leaders decided not to reform so much corn is adamant that is. who does he remind people here in paris of media francais i did call me he said this is more. like.

a missionary call me to go protect our. but but. some brute proust's o.p.c. dominique a seventy year old you can't beat that he's small get them kissed so that you could join a band that for you he would leave the show in the cave seven x. division is. pretty sick now when they. move there as well lemme know now i'm a kook maybe doing the sixteenth. i think if things big of himself as well and i just a sampling of your top wednesday headlines here were nazi international we're back in about twenty five minutes if you can join us.

when else should seem wrong. but i'll just don't call. me. yet to shape out just become active. and engaged because the trail. went something to find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. another russia gave bombshell fizzles this time it was buzz feed this prompted the intercept to write beyond buzz feed that can be worst most embarrassing us media failures on the trump russia still has hatred for trump destroyed the profession of journalism. in twenty four to you know bloody revolution to crush the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it your style or

hiccup what if i mean your list put videos. you mean the new bill is that i'm the leader of the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty four g. and. those who took. it in the studio over time billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other it will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. greetings and salutations one of the great historical and psychological quandaries the human condition is whether we are by nature peaceful roar like this is one of the good questions that has plagued humanity since we crawled out of the primordial soup are we by nature hard wired to kill each other and mass or is murder war conflict just

simply symptoms of a very tragic learned behavior that can thankfully one day be undone untaught and driven from our existence i bring this up because this week a news item crossed our desk that contained both sides of this long running debate in all contained in one news story and that is the story of yes killer robots. you know i'm not talking about science fiction fantasy i'm talking about military industrial science fact killer robots are the cute shorthand for a new fast growing segment of military technology and hard word called autonomous weapons weapons that are run by artificial intelligence that require no human involvement when selecting and executing targets imagine predator drones operating themselves patrolling a border war zone and dropping bombs on targets it's a i was programmed to detect as a threat no human operator in the mobile home r.v.

in new mexico would involved whatsoever if this frightens you you're not alone as new polling released on tuesday by the campaign to ban killer robots revealed that sixty one percent of the globe agrees with you and opposes the use of these autonomous weapons and wild killer robots are autonomous weapons frighten most of the some of the top nations in the world including russia south korea and of course the united states of america recently blocked moves at the united nations to potentially ban the use of these these new improved weapons. the greedy war like nature of a few once again winning out over the many's desire for peace so today let us ask ourselves are we hard wired for war or hard wired for peace as we hard wire or robots for war and start a brand new chapter in watching the hawks.
