in a tit for tat response russia says it's suspending participation in a key nuclear treaty after the u.s. made the same announcement on friday. you know best protesters clashed with police in paris as demonstrators gather for

a twelfth we can little rope. as the venezuelan crisis escalates thousands take to the streets of the capital to back self-proclaimed president one of why door pro-government demonstrators also reply with their own mass rally. and i welcome so i think that i shall live from moscow on. the water night thanks for joining us this hour. now that i'm here putin has announced that russia is suspending its participation in a key nuclear treaty the president called it a mere response after the same move from washington on friday. for many years we have proposed disarmament talks with our initiatives have not found the support of our partners in fact they always find a pretext for dismantling the global security system that's why i've asked our

foreign and defense ministries to keep the doors open for dialogue but also not to initiate any talks on the issue. well today washington officially suspends its participation in the i.n.f. treaty and it's just one episode throughout many years of dead end talks with the united states about disarmament and now russia has decided the time for empty talks has come to a close russian president vladimir putin has said that the u.s. is refusal to heed previous russian calls for disarmament is leading to an in danger moment of international security and so a mere response would mean not just the holding off of participation on russia's and in die in the street but also taking up of research with regard to staying on par with the united states however he also said that this does not mean russia's going to embroil itself in a costly and drawn out arms race with the west now russian foreign minister sergei lavrov also said that the us has been violating this treaty since one thousand nine

hundred ninety nine specifically with its use of unmanned military drones and he also took a couple jabs at the united states m.k. forty one vertical missile launch system used by the u.s. navy now this is been in service since one thousand nine hundred eighty six and it has a ninety nine percent success rate since twenty four team the u.s. is deployed in europe is a full two one missile launches which is suitable for american tomahawk missiles which is a direct violation of the treaty these missile launches are based. and already to be constructed in poland now russia's defense ministry released a statement talking about washington's long time violations of the treaty two years ago before the public unsubstantiated accusations against russia and suppose that violation of the on the treaty washington has already not only made the decision but to do then started preparing to manufacture medium and shorter range missiles

banned by the treaty and the statement read specifically up. about a u.s. military industrial corporation called raytheon located in tucson arizona it says programs were launched back in june twenty seventh teen for the expansion and production of missiles banned by the i.n.f. treaty and that's led a lot of people in the russian government to suggest more than just political mirror reactions to what the united states is doing russia's defense minister said that some changes need to be made to the russian three m. fifty four caliber cruise missiles right now they can only be launched from the sea but some plans are in the works to change that. just doesn't work on adopting russia's caliber missile launch systems from maritime to land based ones we also suggest beginning to work on a new land base hypervelocity ballistic missile of short to medium range now of

course these are only suspensions of participation in the i.n.f. treaty but with diplomatic solutions looking less and less likely it's very likely that we'll be seeing serious developments in this story in the coming days. it's not the first time that russia has spoken of the need to boost its military capabilities amid difficult relations with the united states last year and outs the number of key improvements to its arsenal. and russia says it was forced to come up with a weapon capable of bypassing missile defenses in order to restore nuclear parity the can job exergy one can launch hypersonic missiles that can travel at more than ten times the speed of sound thanks to that and unpredictable drudging they are unstoppable the oven god hypersonic vehicle can fly it up to twenty times the speed of sound an i.c.b.m. will take it to an altitude of several dozen kilometers from where it can dive head first back to earth a top speed with

a crop like maneuverability dodging any missile defenses. in contrast when other existing ballistic missile. reenter the atmosphere they fly at a preset trajectory making the midi targets for a.b.m. system sama might seem like an ordinary i.c.b.m. but its range is much longer the legendary topple and missiles can only take the shortest route from the l.b. end systems some and can travel via the north or the south pole where there's no missile shield and it will still hit its target but most importantly summit is a heavy missile capable of carrying more than twenty warheads that's five times more than the previous generation missiles a bit of a sneak nuclear powered cruise missile is a unique work and it's basically the same as an american tomahawk whereas the whole slate is limited to two and a half thousand kilometers because of fuel constraints russia's new missile can fly indefinitely it can take any power to avoid missile defenses. just like the side and on

a lot of drugs similar to the regular drones are used to except these a submarine launched in kabul at incredible speed towards that target under the sea they run so deep that no equipment can track them even if detected that high speed prevents them from being intercepted the new weapons community together to neutralize any existing missile defense systems in joke and destroy ground based a.b.m. systems because sidon roams take care of those at sea then the saw might have been garden cruise missiles can be norm's towards that target bypassing any remaining barriers on top of that there's also a combat laser complex pettus of it which is unique because it almost instantly delivers an energy behind her target and has an unlimited battle reserve. developing new weapons is not a belligerent move rather a move to restore clarity perhaps this time the call for a balance of folds their treatment around the will be good can you show me you should we can dream up that there was a kid out of the simple signal going in nashik maybe just

a moment it's good news for you if you were going to go to dinner when your webster fletcher eugene if you could speak you know for both of you only see. list that america has been threatening for some time now to withdraw from the i.n.f. treaty alleging as we've heard that russia is in violation of it moscow denies this and invited the u.s. to come and see for itself a lot of looks at how the u.s. has been ramping up the pressure. the trumpet ministration is said to go down in history as the deal killer its approaches as time tested as it is straightforward and 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. void open access to something as sensitive as a key new russian made cruise missile is not very fire ball enough for nato we have to be or it's an alarming development and we see that we are stepping back. behind. the cold war era the end of europe on the other hand the seize the iron of deal as one of the few documents preventing it from being blinded to 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 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 nato will ferrell is 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 transmissions 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 had a very big and beautiful room and 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 while we now have 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 the latest developments china has reacted negatively to trump's proposal for a new nuclear treaty says that it would not like to be part of any such fresh multilateral deal to replace the i.m.f. agreement. multilateralism of the treaty involves a series of political military and legal issues that are complicated and many countries a quite concerned the top priority is to safeguard and implement the existing treaty world rather than drafting a new one to replace the old one the americans are more concerned about trying to than russia so therefore at the back of their mind they need meszaros which will go further than the five hundred to five thousand five hundred kilometers that they're allowed in the i don't think they want to go further than that and we coarsely main target will be china to look for if you like the americans are developing weapons which they hope will reach china from europe and so on to their family i never

treaty from american point of view is out of date they want a new one and when trump talks about a new treaty he's talking really about russia and china. police have fired tear gas and water cannon the protesters in paris sure in clashes on a twelfth weekend of yellow vest protests. was at was. more than twenty demonstrators have reportedly been detained and eight police officers have been injured across france this time around participants are just calling for social reform the valleys are dedicated to those injured by police at

previous marches authorities say that over two thousand people have been injured since november seventeenth our sister channel r.t. france spoke to some protesters. would you like to do document that the during act two on november twenty fourth i came with friends to paris to peacefully party. demonstration express my concern with the usual slogans michael resigned at sixty two thirty one of the riot police cauldrons attacked the moving crowd and the g a lie if for type grenade hit my legs and exploded one sank to injure at twenty five to thirty people injured and maimed and mostly yellow vests those who were wounded before the socket from the say weapons are suffering so united artists was it was obvious no difference. this is important because they became part of a new family and the family of the wounded i'm not the only one wounded like this i became part of a larger group who were injured there are many seventeen hundred people i am the

twentieth are you a person whose i was images still it was important to come today in order to at least support the speakers of what we know while president surprised many with his claim that he's also a yellow vest just under certain conditions if a yellow vest means being for higher paid work and a more efficient parliament than i am a yellow vest a political analyst that makes a lot better coverage told us that president mike wrote on his team appear to be out of touch with the french people. i think this is extremely important because maybe sometimes people don't realize how tough the police are in france how they how violent they have been these past two weeks i have seen personally an innocent man being shot in the face just maybe fifty centimeters away from me for doing nothing nothing at all i think macro and the people in his entourage just don't understand what's going on there so much distin netted with what the french are

leaving on a daily basis that they have they don't know what type of answer to bring macro cannot come back he is over as the french president he can only give back his image he's hated by more than half the population today and that's in his dislike of people disapprove of some of his actions i'm talking about hatred. of president nicolas maduro who has made a surprise announcement calling for new elections in one israel or israel's and that coming right after this break. streakiness steal a 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. you know world of big. lot and conspiracies it's time. to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks.

program standoff in venezuela continues to escalate in a speech at a mass pro-government rally in the capital president maduro announced plans for fresh elections to the national assembly that i just not sure controlled by the opposition meanwhile opposition leader trying to gather public support for opening humanitarian aid. i'm not going to do your only agenda the constituent assembly has a constitutional historical and political evaluation to call for early poll of elections this very year on you agree with this legislative power to be religious must by the country a move towards free elections may the people decide on a new national assembly do you agree or agree and i stand by the decision. to keep the colombia that's where the first center of humanitarian aid gathering will be and there will be two more we will announce their whereabouts in the following days but i ain't is a page that one will be in brazil and the other will be on an island in the

caribbean. but there are also reiterated calls for dialogue with the opposition however u.s. backed quad or is refusing talks in his counter rally on saturday again called on military forces to join the opposition thousands of supporters have come onto the streets local journalists sort of got their reports from the capital where the biggest rallies are taking place people are gathered here to protest against a new call last mature and to demand free elections the sky was made by one white oh in other parts of the city there's also protest to support an equal last maduro as president and also to celebrate the twenty years of their revolutionary socialism but yesterday there were so strong words from the u.s. threatening nicholas maturer and wishing him an early retirement let's see what bolton had to say about this situation i wish him a long quiet retirement on a pretty beach far from venezuela and the sooner he takes advantage of that the center is likely to have a nice quiet retirement on

a pretty beach rather than being in some other beach area like i want out of now also my parents had something to say about the last month during also saying that it would be good for madura not to test the us resolve to us solve the venezuelan situation let's see what mike pence had to say there's no time for. dialogue this is time for. all options are on the table. i. need to loosen the euro would do well not to test the resolve of the united states. to feel that already tense political climate in the country a military rank today a general also backed and one white house president and said that nicolas maduro had to leave last reportedly from the national and local press meanwhile dinosaur bones are divided among those who support nicolas maduro and those who supported wire white though it's not just the opposition leader who is calling for

venezuela's military to join him u.s. national security adviser john bolton also insisted that the armed forces need to stand as he put it on the side of the venezuelan people and back quite a door secretary of state declared support for the reconstruction of venezuela in response from his wife and president maduro has denounced them including the u.s. vice president as war hawks. look you knew she falsely to you mr donald trump they lied to you totally lied john bolton mike pence and mike pompeo the three weeks obsessed with. the e.u. actions are should be condemned by everyone in europe where you go does not have the support of the people of europe but rather that governments in europe these governments are acting as proxies for united states power. that america let's not forget the united states did exactly the same thing when it failed to use

peaceful means to overthrow a targeted government that would be the libyan government in two thousand and eleven or the iraqi government two thousand and three the united states isn't dark right now in its plea for military action against venezuela the u.s. effort to demonize the venezuelan government to declare it to be a dictatorship is nothing other than a propaganda pretext for regime change. to the united states now where people turn out in virginia as capital richmond to call for the governor's resignation democrat ralph northam is in hot water after being accused of appearing in a racially charged photo the picture is from the nineteen eighty-four year book of eastern virginia medical school where he was a student and said to feature northam and another person one wearing black face on the other and a kook klux klan on saturday the governor gave a press conference in which he denied being in the photo northam admitted though

that there had been an unrelated episode in his youth that he now regrets he apologized for that but refused to resign from his office. last night i finally had a chance to sit down and look at the photograph in detail. it is definitely not me i can tell by looking at it i have had friends also look at it in tell me it's not me that same year i did participate in a dance. in san antonio in which i darken my face as part of a michael jackson. i look back now and regret that i did not understand the harmful legacy of an action like that. north and was elected governor in the vemma twenty seventeen receiving fifty four percent of the vote during the campaign he accused his republican opponent of being a racist out of fear monger the new york times had even referred to know them as the great democratic hope of virginia politics you know seems to have lost nearly

all support from his own policy with top democrats calling on him to step down. the food is racist and contrary to fundamental american values i join my colleagues in virginia calling on the governor know them to do the right thing so that the people on the commonwealth of the genia can heal and move forward legal commentator horace cooper believes virginia's governor has only a grim charts of political survival. it's very likely that the pressure on him by other democrats are going to become so overwhelming that he's forced out kamla harris who announced that she's wanting to run for president she happens to be a black american from the state of california she has said that he should resign but the speaker of the house of representatives nancy pelosi says he needs to go and do the right thing and state of virginia is national association of the end of

the end the c.b.c. have both announced that they expect that he is going to here's the thing if he doesn't do it it is still possible that the chamber itself assembly might actually pass a resolution asking for him to step down eventually and especially so with his acknowledgment saying the photos aren't him but that he had in fact in gauged in mockery of blacks at other points is still likely to be something that he's not going to be avoid able to avoid the consequences for those that lines this hour that set them see my myself and i'll join us again in thirty minutes time for those latest global news updates.

united states has raised. its use and its tax on other country's. economic sanctions or are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is play some military press or countries are talking about. and there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country. we have a responsibility for the head. and we need to make rules for the rest. because without us there will be.
