taking the patients away. the u.s. is considering. a key nuclear treaty. participation in the six months. continuing demonstrations for

a. story here. and. details. are stories international welcome to the program life from. washington says it will develop its military response options if russia continues as the u.s. alleges so violate the i n f nuclear treaty that's off the president donald trump officially announced america's leaving the intermediate range nuclear agreement of a key cold war era treaty bans russia and america from producing a list of cruise missiles with a range of up to fifty five hundred kilometers correspondent explains. the trumpet ministration is said to go down in history as the deal killer its approach is as

time tested as it is straightforward you start with the big and blunt accuse ation for years russia has violated the terms of the intermediate range nuclear forces really without remorse any intelligence clear and coherent facts of the presumed violation no need to bother with those for all you know they can be totally utterly nonexistent because if you repeat an allegation enough times there's a good chance it will become a given russia has violated russia's violation russia shamelessly violates it the russians are violation of the agreement the russians have been violating i have documented is being violated by the russians let the charge sink in for a while and it's time to switch to threats here comes the pinnacle of the scheme and ultimatum if russia does not return to fall in verifiable compliance with the treaty within the six month period by verifiably destroying its violating missiles

there launchers associated equipment the treaty will terminate other side of the story easy just stay deaf to any counter-argument and build on the empty accusations white house officials have named to the weapon they believe violates the end of treaty russia in turn invited to the u.s. to come and examine it personally but since the u.s. ignores russia's attempts at corp those offers are apparently worthless for washington's allies as well and the response russia has long violated the treaty i n of truth is no longer contributes to global and regional security totally agree with the u.s. decision u.k. and allies are clear that russia alone is responsible for the demise of the i.n.f. treaty yeah apparently more schools eagerness to. provide open access to something as sensitive as the key new russian made cruise missile is not very fire ball

enough for nato we have to be or it's an alarming development. of the cold war era the end of europe on the other hand to seize the ion of deal as one of the few documents preventing it from being blown get it right into the middle of a new arms race between the us and russia yet while the e.u. has been very consistent pleading for the treaty to stay now it is torn between obligations to its transatlantic big brother and well instinct of self-preservation so we must prepare for a world without the un if. i want to we definitely don't want to see our continent million back to being a battlefield or a place where. other superpowers confront themselves there is a need for dialogue with russia for all part of the german foreign minister and i

will do everything to pave the way for talks within the six month period apart from that made to will thora list sas what the u.s. withdrawal would mean it is important to keep the window for dialogue open and in fact washington doesn't mind admitting whose interests it's putting first make no mistake about president trumps missions at present transmissions that is to make sure that any agreement that we entered into has america's best interest we will move forward with developing our own military response options and will work with nato and other allies and partners to deny russia any military advantage from its unlawful conduct but trump doesn't want to see the concept of the end of the deal destroyed completely he says he wants a better one i hope that we're able to get everybody at a very big and beautiful rob had to do a new treaty that would be much. better yet he's maimed to so many deals the u.s. has sworn to stay committed to one might wonder why anyone would be unaware enough

to trust the states again all we know is six months time to step up international pressure on the trump regime to change course because what we have seen not only with the i.n.f. treaty but also with other treaty obligations is that this us government is unwilling to fulfill its obligations and the international community can no longer just stand by and watch venezuela is also currently feeling the heat of america and washington says president nicolas maduro shouldn't test its patience on should clear the way for the u.s. backed opposition leader one quite though this is no time for dialogue this is time for options are on the table. with. nicolas maduro would do well not to test the resolve of the united states.

with pressure mounting self-proclaimed interim leader glyde though is urging people to choose the right side of history that's ahead of large anti-government protests planned later on today modo in turn accuses quite go of attempting to stage a coup with washington's help r.t. his party boycott takes a closer look at the latest in case you missed it. in case you missed it venezuela is going through a sponsor of political turbulence but do not worry because the good samaritans in the west are going to sort it out yeah i know. it's all a bit of a job or in venezuela there are food shortages play sions out of control the president's mistah russia's out of control and the country doesn't want to miss wild title in over a decade and now there is a potential civil war in the horizon is pretty nightmarish leader nicolas maduro has been don't think he's celso on t.v. and posing with the army take it from me down saying. not a good sign after

a position leader guy joe declared himself acting president and demanded new elections earlier this month madeira has it america's got to our eye so our minds analysis of bennett but this is one of those select few countries which gets almost no attention day to day in the wider world until suddenly for a brief news cycle everyone has an opinion on the u.s. and its european buddies are among voters have formed an opinion and they're now in the mood for a sprinkle of political interference not the bad kind like sending tweets and making new t. facebook groups the good guys for any military action imposing sanctions fermenting simple. reasons and good western samaritans cared deeply about them and as well we're going to have less cut some slack than south american crews alike but the likes of britain and france taking a break from failing to sort out their own political turmoil to tell them is way

less to so take it out with in eight days fascism the materials go out some powerful friends russia china to name but a few but if anyone thinks they're being caught in the middle of this law is going to be good for the lives of ordinary venezuelans history's got a different precedent for you guys when major may seem to wish that they'd so it is this one out on. then that. with the u.s. dominating headlines about the venezuelan crisis journalist max blumenthal asked members of congress if perhaps they think that america might be meddling i think the u.s. is meddling in venezuela they're doing. what i think you're just supporting them pretty much they are deciding now to be happy and so i think that's good for us it's we are at that freedom. that you know i.

saw a combination of complete ignorance about the issue and an unwillingness to speak up among us so-called progressive who campaigned on a platform of peace and in this case you have the u.s. on the 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. a controversial practice known as breast ironing is becoming more widespread in the u.k. now dozens of british children have reportedly been subjected to it the practice aims to delay breast formation in preteen girls by painfully skin with hot stones until the tissue ruptures is said to discourage male attention and prevent rape united nations describes it as one of five under reported crimes globally relating to gender based violence and we spoke to two women who experienced this in their

childhood they say typically the perpetrators are the parents where was you as well as the youngest to beak. these to beak. she. put it thank you for you today. i was crying she slapped me nobody even because i have no ass and then why did that write me that ripples spell may was trying to do it so that i should do that so i mentioned look at me this is just saw you have your future as he said this is the mystery darling so you decide to open so you know christ so surely. you know it just takes a video tonight we also spoke to the co-founder of children's rights group a children's rights group and mr gerald in yet who is sure the problem is bigger than what's being reported thousands of girls have been victims all

they've been affected by breast i and me and this is because most of them migrate to the u.k. we've already the problem of breast tightening doctors say the practice has severe health implications and breast arning can increase the risk of cancer and lead to complications with breast feeding later in life the procedure can also lead to infections and result in physical and psychological scarring now the u.k. government has vowed to criminalize the practice though activists accuse it of being slow to respond and geraldine and yet again told us about the consequences that can occur from breast ironing. most of them have guts sacking bradley cause you know the scheme has been strange because first of all they use those stones and those who are caught youth and saloons and the pieces to suppress the growth of the breast and this is nature and where once oppressed tries to force itself out what

happens and this affects your whole life long conditions in the sense that they are emotionally disturbed realize they even friendly if you call to even open up to people or even on press in front of their friends even all norms in front of the hospital. with more yellow vest marches planned across france on saturday emmanuel macron a multi millionaire dubbed by critics as a president of the rich has now expressed his solidarity with the demonstrators in an interview with a french media outlet he surprised many by claiming that he too would under certain conditions dawn a yellow vest. if the universe means being for higher paid work and a more efficient parliament then i am a yellow vest the other person movement will be marching for a twelve consecutive weekend this time around participants won't just be calling for social reforms the rallies are being dedicated to those who have been injured

by police at previous marches the president recently launched a so-called national dialogue in a bid to find common ground with the protesters well we have spoken to a publisher and writer i met one of you who says micron is obviously out of touch with the 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 all the broken traces of these people who cannot through their children who are not afraid risking losing another year during a demonstration during this demonstration straps because there are some traps speaking about working for a better salary which meant mr mccraw or another financial risk to crash wants to increase. his salary everyone understands entranced entranced that it's big news more for him and less for the french and because think it's just so only

a bad joke and that mr mccloy is just underlining the yawning gap between him and the french. time more than one hundred investigations have been opened against french police over their controversial use of riot guns in recent months leading rights organizations in the country want a complete ban on the use of the weapon which fires golf balls sized rubber bullets r.t. spoke to a witness of the alleged use of excessive force. in demonstrations they said and they're going to show you that people are saying that. yes first of the police and they don't do it and they're this is doing. petion and they started and it's not that the tool that they use it on the this is he in fact you see some towns in the provinces where the administration. and where the bodies there's nothing till the last days before the intervene they said no. from the

program on r.t. international including that of the pass rusher reopens a probe into the sixty year old mystery of nine students found dead in the year old mountains are theories of e.t. big for the supernatural i will try and shed some light on the mystery after the. country's oil cleanup just touch on this firm 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.

the divorce talks more details here with artie's and asked us to your charkha it may have seemed like such a far off prospect for such a long time but presidents actually just around the corner it's happening as soon as next month in what seems like final throes of a faction before entering unchartered waters britain and germany have exchanged a set of rather emotional letters we saw a group from britain including former england footballer gary lineker as well as m.p.'s from both labor and the conservative party expressed sadness at the imminent departure saying they would like to stay friends forever we still want to be friends we love you. 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 a whole mark well this was published from germany just

a couple of weeks ago saying to britain please don't go we'll miss you come back. british black humor and go into the pub after work hours to drink in ale would be nice to you with milk but more than anything else would miss the british people friends across the channel exactly what kind of shape this friendship is going to be taking remains to be c.n.n. quite quickly as the bracks a deadline looms and it's coming on march twenty ninth and now it's really up to the politicians to see if they're going to figure out exactly what bracks it is going to look like in that time. it's been sixty years since nine students were found dead in a remote area of russia's north your rules mountains but the mystery surrounding the circumstances of their deaths still remains unresolved but no russian investigators have decided to actually reopen this case numerous possible causes of the deaths have been conjectured everything from a snowstorm to a u.f.o.
