when you look back truth. it's clear about this treaty is coming to an end. because of the lack of interest of both sides. washington. france recalls its ambassador from rome amid a rout over a meeting between italy's deputy prime minister and the french protesters also this hour. dialogue with the bureau has long passed the u.s. special envoy for venezuela rules out a compromise as world leaders try to find

a solution to the country's political crisis. russia demands the u.s. destroy tomahawk missile launchers and drones to help or resurrect the arms control treaty that both moscow and washington have suspended. for broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is an international thomas certainly glad to have you with us. our france is recalling its ambassador to italy in what is being described as the country's worst dispute since the second world war. as more well this marks a new low in the already rocky relations between france and the two countries that should be allies that members of the european union and some have described this latest move by france has being. i believe it's the first time that france has

recalled its ambassador from rome since the second world war when the two countries who are actually at war with each other well this move comes after one of italy's deputy prime ministers luigi dimaio was seen photographed with yellow vests protest is he in france describing the movement on twitter as saying that the winds of change were coming across the alps where the french foreign ministry has hit out at that describing the verbal attacks from italy and saying that those provocations by just too much this is the statement they released the most recent interferences constituted additional and an acceptable provocation they violate the respect that is owed to democratic choices made by nation which is a friend and an ally they violate the respect the democratically and freely elected governments each other and his coat deputy prime minister within the italian

government has also been one to hit out france and particular president maccarone recently offering his support to also the yellow vests movement you know i mean i side with the millions of frenchmen who are complaining about a president who is harming the french people i condemn any acts of hooliganism and violence without exceptions and this is. the minister being european affairs here in france retorted with this france refrains from giving lessons to the tele salvina and to milan should learn to sweep their own doorstep. well the two countries have been out to show those troops for some time more recently finding themselves on opposing sides of an international crisis that's happening in venezuela with france amongst a number of e.u. countries deciding that they will follow through their full weight. hine the

national assembly has declared himself into a president that's what we do meanwhile it's really decided it would reject that and has remained supporting the democratically elected president maduro for the moment it seems that these relations between france and italy two countries who are neighbors two countries who are part of the european union the two countries who should be strong allies is getting worse and worse as charlie just mentioned president was one of the first european leaders to recognize the venezuelan opposition leader as interim president however not everyone in france support that decision socialist figurehead john look sean compared the backing of want to go i don't to allowing the yellow vests to take over the us a powerless. it's not a good thing to recognize an adventurer who proclaims himself to be the president of a republic as this gentleman has if we do that yellow vest leader mr drew a will be

president of this republic. we discussed at the root causes of the dispute with an italian political scientist and a journalist and the former deputy speaker of belgium's parliament. is to disgraceful and between the two capitals these root cause is going to be found. at least since two thousand and eleven the libyan crisis and they have been. somehow quiet for some time until you need to leave the government has changed. and the current government has been very clear the distrust between the government of the italy in the one fronts. showing that. the state cannot accept. the other one instead claims that politically correct. you you still as

a policy that does not lead but others follow and basically it follows the lead of the united states even to the number of your e.u. states who more or less agree without taking the step recognizing one. as president and then there are all those who do take a stand like italy. avoiding another arms race or russia is proposing the us destroyed military hardware in an attempt to revive the i n f weapons treaty both moscow and washington earlier suspended their obligations under the accord cold war deal accusing each other of failing to comply madrid a question of has more while the russian defense ministry said that the us had been violating the treaty creating conditions for the production of a band by the agreement we're talking about forty one systems designed

a tool launch tomahawk cruise missiles were also talking about strike aerial drones as they fall under land based cruise missile category and target missiles as well the defense ministry said that it had summoned the u.s. military a task and hand him the note containing moscow's demands and earlier russia's foreign affairs ministry delivery to no to the u.s. embassy where moscow denied all u.s. accusations that it was ever in breach of the eye and after eating but also added that it was the u.s. that hasn't fulfilled its obligations within the agreement speaking to the press this thursday and russia's deputy foreign affairs minister said that these decisions the u.s. decision to pull out of the treaty may lead to some grief consequences and i had a chance to ask of the official whether he thinks this current situation. may lead

to a new arms race and this is what he sat. the possibility of a new arms race is a serious topic u.s. still cumin show the as well as spending huge amounts of money on defense the u.s. aims to dominate all spheres related to the military we would not let the u.s. drag us into an arms race the american seem to succeed in doing that but they have been safe i think they'll fail this on two days. he also said that russia is ready to fight to keep the agreement in tact now the treaty was signed back in ninety eight seven between them and the world's nuclear powers the us and the sabi to an end and now many fear that the end of this treaty will lead to dramatic consequences. the u.s. tested a new intercontinental ballistic missile on tuesday it was launched from an air force base in southern california and sailed over the pacific ocean landing near an asshole almost seven thousand kilometers away.

just hours later the russian military then tested its own ballistic missile as well although the launches have been described as routine if they come as fears grow over the potential for a nuclear arms race following the suspension of that key missile agreement on saturday artie's correspondent but i've got to have has more. the i.n.f. treaty was a pillar of global security not only because it resulted in the removal of missiles and launchers from europe but also because of what was removed short range nuclear missiles highly mobile incredibly quick both to launch and speed much cheaper than huge strategic nukes everyone was always on the edge with short

range nuclear missiles around they could strike in an instant barely any warning for more than thirty years they were gone but now those missiles are coming back unless we get a new deal i hope that we're able to get everybody in a very big and beautiful room and do a new treaty that would be much better not everyone wants a new deal some see this treaty collapses an opportunity more funding more r. and d. more better short range missiles now the department of defense will be able to conduct these research and development activities banned under the ion of treaty so the department fans will start their steps i'm building to a systems they couldn't before you can forgive the order fish with more ambition than sense but the military industrial complex those guys that make and sell

missiles oh they're ecstatic raytheon and lockheed martin wasted no time and soon going to be testing their prototypes precision strike missiles with ranges greater than five hundred kilometers. withdrawing from the i.n.f. treaty is a good start now this action must be backed by american firepower the united states must regain the strategic advantage by expediting the development and deployment of a new generation of ground launched missiles it's incredible they seemingly want an arms race a nuclear arms race and that's what they're getting russia which the u.s. accused of violating the treaty promises to respond develop new weapons and is all to say everyone's gone nuts there are still people with sense people that realize a nuclear arms race isn't going to lead to anything good people who realize that

arms treaties where the world removes a lot adds nukes is good for humanity i think it's stupid for the democrats to be attacking putin on all issues and not holding open the channel of nuclear dialogue yes to deal with the issues in syria in the killing diplomats in ukraine and crimea but that doesn't warrant a nuclear blunder it kills billions of people or millions so yes with the democrat or republican or somewhere in between we need to have dialogue and. something that might help is a bit of humility i don't even know what's crazy and nowadays people cheering a nuclear arms race or people calling for dialogue some many want an arms race and you know why because nukes

a pretty we see these beautiful pictures at night i am tempted to quote the great leonard cohen i'm guided by the beauty of our weapons and they are beautiful pictures of of fearsome armaments. a medical charity has had back in saudi arabia after a report on the bombing of a hospital in yemen that story and much more after a short break you are watching international.

with agonist mubarak will have another political system that's. a social justice. and the specter of human dignity and so on but if you look at the what is going on in egypt right now most of the people have the feeling that. it was even better. they don't speak. of the situation. are welcome back this is r.t. international the u.s. government has ruled out negotiations with the venezuelan president nicolas maduro

washington's special envoy for venezuela elliott abrams urged the world powers to communicate only with the country's opposition leader artie's rachel blevins as the latest. special envoy to venezuela elliott abrams is speaking out today and he's saying that he's actually calling for president maduro to we've been as we are all together and he's making a really strong statement on a day when a number of countries all came together in europe way to talk about political solutions to the crisis and venezuela those countries were made up of both nations that support madeira and nations that support opposition leader one it was really interesting thing abrams speaking out specifically and calling for madeira to leave the country now he didn't say exactly where he expects to go but he did make a very bold statement and here is his comment about mr o.

specifically instead of trying to accommodate the group through contact groups for dialogue we urge countries to recognize one going to always interim president and join us in time for dialogue with the girl has long passed don't fall into a trap the girl has said many times before where there's a fully dialogue rather than a strong message to him it's time to go so this comes after the european union's foreign policy chief called for nations to recognize venice willow's national assembly which also comes after the parliament voted to recognize one point zero in order for the country to overcome the current crisis it is crucial to restore full democracy in all its the mentions including rule of low separation of powers and respect for the constitutional mandate of the country's institutions notably the democratically elected to national assembly now why joe is claiming that he was met

with european officials and as we know the united states is very much on his side the united states has said that all options are on the table regarding their support for and they push. for ousting madero we've also seen countries like russia and china back to mentor and said that he should stay as the president and so on top of that now the united states is claiming that they are not able to get humanitarian aid into venice whale and venezuela has also made the claim that they found some cargo that included weapons and ammunition that were made in the usa so there's a lot of different statements going on here but at the end of the day we really have to ask the question about what the. are we believe and are actually seeing and we've seen protests from both sides that we've seen you know media coverage of a lot of those protests of thousands of people taking to the streets people that

are very passionate about what side it is that they believe in whether it stops they actually support the opposition leader or that they support the united states staying out of their country altogether so here are some comments specifically from the people in caracas. but they don't want to stop it. this is horrible they want to seize the reaches so bent on planet this is world wide the oligarch he wants to seize the planet we want peace who want unity would not fascism we do not want racism he want peace and we want to see the rights and interests because some external forces are attempting to seize on the. political analyst under king says the u.s. pressure on the dural is the part of a long standing policy on interventionism. what we're seeing from abrams is just shameless deplorable on behalf of us interventionism

with imperialism that i mean there's really no debate here it's immoral it's illegal in the u.s. government in the trump administration is using including humanitarianism humanitarian intervention in spreading democracy. but you don't have to be a left socialist to understand what you know what u.s. empire is doing here we saw how we thought they spread democracy forty five years ago to chile to iraq to afghanistan to panama to grenada the list goes on the venezuelan people have the right to determine their own path their lives they have the right to make their own mistakes. doctors without borders has responded angrily to a saudi report partly blaming the humanitarian group for the bombing of one of its own hospitals in yemen in june the organization says the saudi led coalition is attempting to avoid taking full responsibility for the airstrike according to the

report m.s.f. as the group is known failed to inform the saudi coalition that its colorado treatment center was a medical facility and therefore claims that the building was considered at the time to be a legitimate military target m.s.f. however says it had notified the saudi led coalition about the newly built hospital at least a dozen times and had its emblem displayed on the roof riyadh has since called the bombing an unintended error. m.s.f. is now demanding a new investigation and that the allegations against it be dropped rights activist sara flounders told us there is no justification for bombing hospitals under international humanitarian law medical facilities are protected may not be targeted

under any circumstances and it is responsibility of those carrying out the attack and not to the facility itself so even that argument is a harrowing tale and argue it's a complete fraud of course the bombing was carried out by saudi arabia and the quadrants had been given again and again as mentioned sinn fein terror explains. and this is the time. such a medical facility of medicine stemmed from tear facility being bombed and three years time so on every front it is an outrageous outrageous crime against international humanitarian law. and against the people of the on against the people the whole world. yes democrats have launched

a fresh probe into donald trump's finances and their possible influence on his policy decisions the house intelligence committee chief adam schiff has told reporters the trump's actions towards russia both during his presidential campaign and after have heightened fears of foreign financing and possible leverage issues donald trump did not hold back giving his view on the new investigation and shift himself there's no basis to do that this. just a political hack who's trying to build a name for himself and i think that's fine because is what they do but there would be no reason to do that no other politician has to go through that it's called presidential harassment and it's unfortunate and it really does hurt our country adam schiff then took to twitter to stress that several of trump's close associates have been sentenced or are awaiting trial and claimed that president trump is terrified of the ongoing investigations this is the latest in a series of trump rush occlusion investigations by the house intelligence committee

its last probe was shut down in the spring of two thousand and eighteen due to a lack of evidence linking trump's team to the kremlin we asked political analyst charles or tell what is behind these investigations. well it's you know it's reached the point where one barometer of what people really think in this country anyway is what goes up on saturday night live the amusing sometimes amusing comedy show and it's really a tragic comedy at this stage of the house the bad of their efforts in two thousand and eighteen admittedly led by republicans we just heard today from the senate republican chair of this committee saying they found no evidence of illegal collusion between the truck campaign and any form party of let alone russia i think the american public is sick and tired of watching a bloated bunch of government bureaucrats overpay themselves fail to solve problems that could be radically solved and are you that you know they only need more

control to do a worse theory a better job but in fact the worst job in the united states you're not going to believe this but it's true that we spend seven trillion dollars a year on government it's not like we lack for money and we don't get seven trillion dollars worth of results this is in part why the american people understand this but the bubble in washington d.c. doesn't. that's a thirty six minutes and fifteen seconds that's when i'll be back with more news you are watching our two international quite heavy. see. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line and they get accepted or rejected. so if you want to be president or injury or somehow want to be. that have to do like to be first as the wife of the forty three in the morning can't be good but i'm interested always in the waters in the hottest. place

sydney. wouldn't all make just manufacture consensus instead of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round listen to the one percent oh. it's not going all middle of the room six. billion real needs for the world. when you look back truth ok soft problems between washington last kovi i left you to me it's clear that this treaty is coming to an end while you because of the lack of interest. both

sides also in washington was. the big and the book . welcome to the alex salmond show from wonderful wonderful copenhagen the capital city of denmark over the last five years this fiercely independent kingdom has won and lost to empires in the middle ages they conquered big good in the early modern period daley's territory and compass sweden norway the favor weiland iceland and greenland now the danes gave them more peaceful pursuits as a small nation in the very heart of europe and i tell you for our final program on

day mike that fascinating independent minded country house harrison is the c.e.o. of an english speaking newspaper the copenhagen post a former data communications at the danish red cross says he's been fighting for human rights for years and some of your chief executive officer of the copenhagen post a very unusual paper in the sense that publishes in english really to the ex-parte population of denmark how did that come about well it started twenty years ago when some. students came to denmark to study and they find out there was nothing in english here so they said they will release an english newspaper and they did that for about one year spent on the own money and spent their parents' money and they were bankrupt and then they need to consult a lawyer to make them bankrupt this lawyer he had been the c.e.o.

of one of the biggest paper in copenhagen for ten years so he thought this was a brilliant idea and he bought the paper for one krone and had them again as directors and then he run it until two years ago when i had to get over it some colleagues to go and the idea is they nice news in english because it's very important when people live in denmark they have three four years maybe they don't have a chance to learn danish that short time and they know they go to other places. and then they can see what's going on them and what's more in pope important is they take this newspaper home where they have a family who's very isolated and they can see kindergarten where is a school a good school what's going on is a something something in english so it's a whole family who can use this paper and get that informations and we can feed other newspapers is going town some also english newspaper they don't even give

a printed edition anymore we're going up because they're coming more and more international people to denmark so you're an english language newspaper very much a danish paper in terms of your political social commentary on the state of denmark how would you assess the state of denmark at the present moment still in the way of life very prosperous society a highly contented society according to surveys as there are thing in the undergrowth the data should be worried about if you see what should we be worried about you can take the whole world has changed as i told you i've been working for the red cross and a few months after i started into it cause in the ninety's the wall for fell in germany and then we think now we have peace on earth and everybody was happy but i have never seen the world more full of a board and terrible things than it had been for us to

a tree is from the. denmark is an ideal society has a high standard of living high standard of public services but the other side with the danes are increasingly worried the high taxation or for that matter immigration into denmark that they no know what they get for the tax the only the only people who try and not to pay that tax is the very rich people because they move away from ten but the normal day they. pay the tax and then no they get value for money. about the immigration thing get old countries in in europe is afraid of immigration we cannot feet ten million more people in denmark we are only five million five to six million danes are very worried about it and those who don't say they were there are lying and when they go on to boats and see.
