russia says it reserves the right to respond to america's this isn't to suspend its obligations under the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty earlier on friday the u.s. secretary of state explained the move saying that washington would pull out of the deal completely this summer if moscow doesn't change its behavior. the united states will therefore suspend its obligations under the n f treaty effective february second. we will provide russia and the other treaty parties with formal notice that the united states is withdrawing from the un after the effective in six months pursuant to article fifteen of the tree well the u.s. has long accused russia of violating the treaty without actually providing any credible evidence russia has jeopardized the united states security interest and we can no longer be restricted by the treaty while russia shamelessly violates the us is accusing russia of testing and deploying an intermediate range missile meanwhile russia has actually exhibited the missile and given detailed explanations of its

characteristics moscow is strongly denied washington's accusations saying its land based missile fully complies with the ins requirements and u.s. officials didn't even bother to attend the testing of the missile on december which they were invited to this treaty the i.n.f. treaty is crucial for the balance of powers it was signed back in one thousand nine hundred eighty seven by the united states and the u.s.s.r. and it stipulates that both countries destroyed missiles within the five hundred to five thousand five hundred kilometer range under the agreement now neither the u.s. nor or russia are allowed to produce or test any such missiles in the future russia is saying that the us withdrawing from the street he could trigger a new arms race a moscow has long accused the us of making all to mesdames russian president vladimir putin said the us was searching for any possible reason to withdraw from

the treaty first the american side says it wants to leave the treaty then they start looking for reasons why the main reason given is that we are violating something but at the same time no evidence of this is presented and it is doing and now president donald trump goes further and openly suggesting. creating its own so-called military response we move forward with developing a response option some will work with nato and other allies and partners to deny russia any mildred vantage from its lawful conduct so this seems the four we play into the hands of the u.s. as it develops its own new nuclear weapon and further expands its military capabilities. russia's foreign ministry says the decision follows an established pattern of washington breaking international agreements moscow insists it's not a question of russia's violation of the treaty but an american strategy aimed at removing international and legal obligations it's all of us been gathering global

reaction. well it does seem like this was expected like this was the where world leaders were waiting for this decision to be made especially if we look at the statements made by stoltenberg the nato secretary general federica mockery in the e.u. high representative for foreign affairs shortly before the mike pompei o announcement that the u.s. would be pulling out of the i.m.f. it certainly seems like they felt it would be in coming so we must prepare for the world with out the on the treaty i want we definitely don't want to see our continent million back to being a battlefield or a place where. other superpowers confront themselves there's violence to the fire away history well straight away after the pompei o announcement stoltenberg tweeted out that russia must use the next six months to get their house in order in order to try and save the treaty the latvian foreign minister in a very similar vein saying russia needs to comply with the deal the british foreign

secretary jeremy hunt also incredibly critical of russia in the immediate aftermath sending out tweets the german chancellor angela merkel though said that she hopes that her country can play a role in dialogue with russia to try and solve this issue. it is clear to pass the trash has violated this treaty and that's why there is a need for dialogue with russia for our part the german foreign minister and i will do everything to pave the way for talks within the six month period apart from that need to will ferrell is sas what the u.s. withdrawal would mean it is important to keep the window for dialogue open. the german foreign minister said that this decision by the united states to pull out of the i.m.f. would make europe less secure but did say that the world doesn't need debates it needs well it needs controls on the type of weapons the austrian foreign minister

as well. added her voice calling knesset saying that she regretted the u.s. decision but hopes that dialogue and that the i.n.f. treaty can be saved in the future that we've also heard reaction from iran if you count your minds back to last year the united states unilaterally pulled out of a nuclear deal with tehran what we've heard from the iranian foreign minister is this deal signed with the united states may not be worth the ink peter because nick professor of history and the director of the nuclear studies institute at the american university that washington's move is a serious threat to peace back in the mid one nine hundred eighty s. we had seventy thousand nuclear weapons one point five million here is she looked at the equivalent jobs and now we're potential is we can go back to that from seems indifferent to that risk the europeans understand it this was a nuclear treaty that eliminated an entire class of nuclear weapons and wasn't as

good as what we hoped to get out of reykjavik but he still a major step forward and now we're threatened with going back to that very very dangerous confrontational situation that we dealt with back in one nine hundred eighty seven given all the tensions now internationally the bony tomic scientists executives just kept their hands a doomsday clock at two minutes before midnight we've got hotspots around the world crises conflicts that are very very dangerous right now and every country all nine nuclear powers are modernizing their nuclear arsenals so we're in a very dangerous situation and the united states to be doing this now is quite reckless. the standoff between the venezuelan government on its opposition leader is escalating after the u.s. officially recognized one wide door as interim president washington is now warned nicolas maduro to quit. this is no time for dialogue this is time for options are

on the table. the. neutralise the girl would do well not to test the resolve of the united states. meanwhile venezuela's self-proclaimed interim leader one guadalajara appeared on u.s. television explaining how he intends to oust president nicolas wintour of i didn't rule out using pentagon support. i just want you to tell me whether you would support a us military intervention we're doing everything to be able to put as much pressure as published so that we do not get i'm going to that kind of a scenario in which nobody would wish to have three now in this crisis in which and any other officials of the transit ministration are seeing it anything that penicillin in its extent. possible aggression the u.s.

options on the table this is the president to move by the united states to have an open call and mittens that the u.s. is claiming the principal role in trying to overthrow them a little government and the full a very revolution and the government has the people to represent and defend going to a deal just become president perhaps i want to think he became president was elected by a man seventy percent of what's happening nation with a situation intensifying what's happening in venezuela appears to have similarities to events in the past it into trying to has more. if they really think the whole world is too fullish to notice either you stand with the forces of freedom or you're in league with material and his mayhem when we stand with the syrian people or with their oppressors the former madeira regime has oppressed its people for years repressive regime of bashar assad the tyranny of the now defunct mature

regime the assad regime its brutality and repression active threat to the entire region growing threat to regional peace and security it is time for me to go it's time for assad to get out of the way. the stories of syria venezuela and the protest movements there are from two separate books but can someone tell me why anyone who's in charge of america always reads off the same manual when their national interest rate or spots another regime change opportunity great examples for you. people in american politics have a special sense for legitimacy what if they have a different mysie he has failed to deliver on the promises he's made in its role as the only legitimate branch of government duly elected by the venezuelan people the national assembly invokes the country's constitution to declare nicolas maduro

illegitimate and the office of the presidency therefore vacant you see the manual so great that even donald trump couldn't help picking it up after hillary. yes the idea is not just to start backing the opposition you physically got to be there with them was. oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh. now that's a classic what could be more classic it almost makes you imagine that as kids all american politicians are told when you grow up you'll never succeed unless you sanctions and filthy regime syria check venezuela check will keep increasing sanctions to cut off the regime with the money it needs to survive we're going to announce sanctions against patro is to venezuela

associate the name we're paid a vase as it's known by its spanish acronym the state owned oil monopoly since the opposition in places like venezuela or syria are pretty much aware of the contents of the manual they know when it's the right time for them to start asking for weapons arming the rebels defected soldiers there will always be those who would be happy to get new guns that are going to spend its way down so that we make a request to the us he says to support us in logistical terms of communication with weapons so we can realize venezuelan freedom what we need is. and until the science back to the states and the people in charge there when you're only one step away from sending your old army in to get the job done don't forget to say that all options are on the table that the agreement which is all options

always all options are on the. you know what all of this was unintentional never planned we will stop to topple the regime advocates are all governments we cannot resolve someone else's civil war through force is that also in the manual a journalist. members of congress if they think the u.s. is meddling in venezuela's political system. i think the u.s. is meddling in venezuela they're doing manual. we're told the mossad zermatt it i don't think sony were the superpower in the world which was if you look i think if you're just supporting the people and some pretty much they are deciding at least to be nice to have and so i think that's good for us it's we aren't that great and . that you know i and maybe. you saw

a combination of complete ignorance about the issue and an unwillingness to speak up among us so called progressives who campaigned on a platform of peace and in this case you have the us on the brink of some kind of war on a country of thirty million people a proxy war would create a syria or libya style situation in the western hemisphere that could leave hundreds of thousands of dead and produce millions more refugees and yet when i would ask people in congress about this it was just a shrug of the shoulders. and want to read the magazine the economist is taking sides in the dispute put one by dull on the cover of its facebook page but they didn't get quite the reaction from readers that they may have expected. what does it say about the economist when they blatantly support one party or politician over the other what happened to impartial and unbiased reporting. will

you also be an official sponsor of the coup the economist supported of western and parallelism. this is in defense of an illegitimate coup so in response i decided that i'm going to declare myself editor of the economist who is with me the economist please respect democracy and give g. gannon his rightful role as editor you did say to say you will show respect to the new wave of the corner in school you will disappear with the support of our friends at the cia. continues to be correct about this magazine. french protesters are planning to come out in force again the south that i but this time it's not just about reforms we'll tell you all about that after this short break.

country's oil. and just touch on this for a momentarily i mean scotland does have a lot of oil and the whole thing is mightily confusing so the u.s. could consider invading britain right now during this breaks of turf awful and take control scottish oil i mean i'm all for. joining

me every thursday on the alex simon sure and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sport i'm show business i'll see you then. international france's bracing for fresh best marches on saturday but with a difference this time people won't just be calling for reforms but also pay tribute to those injured by what they say was excessive police force at previous running. were deliberately chose the five two on the to route which is not much compared to what we did before but we're going to have some injured people all the injured will be there the start of the march will also be sit ins and speeches. the next day when i woke up from the operation i looked at myself in the mirror and

said to myself it's not me it can't be me today i didn't dare look at myself in the mirror for me my life is over is destroyed. and more than a hundred investigations have been opened against french police over there controversial use of right guns in recent months so it's a rights organizations in the country leaving wanting a complete ban on the use of that weapon which is golf ball sized rubber bullets it's already caused some serious injuries and yellow vest protests.

are sister shuttle of the france has spoken to protest the euro more driggers he suffered a severe eye injury reportedly from a police rubber bullet during a rally last week he says the authorities don't seem interested in having a real dialogue. because i understand now that the government is deaf to us that it couldn't hear the demands and the appeal was being made on the streets but now i see i who lost an eye that they are completely blind even on the basis of the videotapes they were unable to accept responsibility for what is happening our efforts are peaceful that's my slogan i'm a humanist i want protesters to be protected and the greatest gift to me was when during act nine children came to kiss me to shake my hand they were happy to come to the protest with their parents so why call for an icky why call for everything to be broken it is not in our interest we are reasonable people we will not destroy

our own country i mean while president micron has given an interview to french media ahead of the upcoming yellow vest protests on sunday he surprised many with his claim that he is also a yellow vests under certain conditions if a yellow vest means being for higher paid work and a more efficient parliament than i m a yellow vest a publisher and writer able to one vill believes macron is out of touch with the lives of ordinary french people. he thinks he's likely yellow there says living yellow vests maybe with a little a little bigger salary he doesn't see that he's living in a very very different world and you will see tomorrow all the broken traces of these people who cannot feed their children and we are not afraid risking losing during a demonstration during this demonstration straps because there are some traps speaking

about working for a better salary mr mccraw or another financial risk to crash wants to increase. the salary everyone understands entrenched in france that means more for him and less for the french because think it's just still only a bad joke and that mr mccloy is just underlining the yawning gap between him and the french. around two thousand people gathered in the brazilian city of belo horizonte on friday to protest against the regional government and mining company valley after a deadly mudslide last week claimed over one hundred victims demonstrators can be seen shouting slogans and covering themselves with mud or calling for an investigation after a dam owned by valley collapse we're hearing the avalanche of mud at least one hundred fifty were killed with around two hundred fifty still missing shocking c.c.t.v. video shows the effects of the vaster as it took place. the dam held back

water containing waste products of the metallurgical industry the mud flows from the collapse of a wide area at speeds of around eighty kilometers per hour broken alarm sirens which failed to warn workers are being partly blamed for the massive death toll clean up by emergency services is still underway rescue workers expect to find more bodies as the search continues. britain and the e.u. are in the midst of a bitter divorce with brussels politicians adamant that they will not allow last minute breaks when you go by prime minister to reason may nevertheless among the hostility politicians from the u.k. and germany have found common cause even exchanging some remarkably warm letters as artie's and i see a shooting the reports while it may seem to like such a far off prospect for such

a long time but perhaps it is actually happening very soon just next month and in what looks like final throes of affection before stepping into unchartered waters we're seeing an exchange of quite emotional letters between britain and germany we saw a group from britain putting people such as former england footballer gary lineker and m.p.'s from both labor and the conservative party addressed sadness to their german colleagues about the imminent departure and saying they would like to stay friends forever we still want to be friends we love you your food some of us even like your cooking given the challenges we face we need to stand together to champion the values of tolerance and openness that you see are a whole mark well this came as a follow up and was published in a german newspaper to a letter that came from germany to britain just a couple of weeks ago saying to britain don't go we'll miss you please come back.

british black humor and go into the pub after work hours to drink a nail. to you with milk and driving on the left hand side of the road nude missing the pound to christmas but more than anything else we would miss the british people friends across the channel. well exactly what shape this future friendship is going to be taking remains to be seen even with the press it's now expected to still take place on march twenty ninth with the time ticking away for politicians to figure out exactly what bracks it is going to look like. trailer and china are vying for influence. but not quite in the way you might think.
