thank you. from the. treaty takes the world a step closer to a clear course that's the warning coming from the twenty twenty u.s. presidential candidate. introduced a bill to move. u.s. president declares a national emergency to get funding for

a war on the border with mexico. rebel fighters in the central african country of chad using that power for the coup . was fourteen children with. have been expelled from a school in indonesia or at the insistence of outraged parents speak of the kids who were forced out. this is. twenty twenty u.s. presidential candidate has announced the bill that could stop withdrawing from the

intermediate range nuclear missile treaty known as the i n f. but. make it read like south. park our series united states. every. year. with over this month washington said it was suspending its obligations under the treaty signed back in one thousand nine hundred seven and said it would fully withdraw in six months time russia responded in kind of treaty bans land based missiles with ranges between five hundred and five thousand five hundred kilometers donald trump now says he's considering a new arms deal. well we followed the agreement and the rules to the letter. russia repeatedly violated its terms that is why i announce that the united states is officially withdrawing from the intermediate

range nuclear forces treaty or i.n.f. treaty. perhaps i was perhaps we can negotiate a different agreement here being china and others or perhaps we care in which case we will outspend and out innovate all of those by far. little to go about has already faced accusations in the media of being the kremlin's favorite the hawai'i congresswoman's previously said america's interventionist regime changing policy in the middle east has made life worse for people that something which of course goes against the regular us narrative jill so refused to call the syrian leader an anime of his people. ok let's bring in peter because nick he's a professor of history and director of the nuclear studies institute at american

university you also co-author alongside oliver stone of the untold history of the united states a pleasure to speak to you again peter. so this this is the latest comment from to see god in the bill that's being introduced do you think this sounds like the start of a presidential campaign. i think even more important than a presidential campaign it sounds like the first important step to prevent trump from withdrawing from the i.n.f. treaty and starting a new arms race i think tulsi was right on the mark with her comments where there's a real danger we've already pulled out of the a.b.m. treaty we've already withdrawn from the way the iran nuclear deal. now would trump this pulling out of the or says you want to pull out the i had after he what's next the only thing left is the new start treaty which expires in two years in february of twenty twenty one where trump is talking about here is

going back to one thousand nine hundred eighty style uncontrolled nuclear arms race at that point in the mid eighty's we had the equivalent of one point five million hiroshima bombs between the united states and the soviet union one point five million exactly what we want to get we've been able to reduce that number no we're still way above the threshold for a nuclear winter and what i would like to see us get below the threshold for nuclear winter if we're not going after police disarmament but. what we're going to threat were threatened with now is this crazy spending new nuclear weapons coming online every nuclear power is modernizing its nuclear arsenal the u.s. is spending and outlandish some to do so we say it's going to be one point seven million or that's the estimate now one point seven million over thirty years it will probably be far in excess of that and that's what trump wants is that the

united states being the wealthiest country in the world can waste can squander its resources creating more and more lethal weapons that's insane that's not what the world needs right now we've got all these against us military intervention against regime change from the us against nuclear proliferation the argument against that is going to come from the likes of the nato chief as just said that we should prepare for more russian missiles in the year let's hear what stoltenberg had to say. there are also preparing for the world with out the on the street to. the world with more russian me sites in europe nato has no intention of deploying new land based nuclear weapons in europe and i think most people will have heard about nato bases containing missiles what russian missiles is he talking about in europe. well the charge is that russia has

already. gone against a treaty violated the treaty with some of its land based missiles in europe they estimate that there are probably fewer than fifty but the range exceeds the five hundred kilometers that are allowed under the treaty and where would these be base for have to. probably base in kaliningrad they could be based in russia itself so just the battery yes there we go so russian territory. i'm not and i'm not exactly sure where they're based so don't hold me to that what has been to make the necessary certain that you know the accusation that russia has missiles in europe but actually you know russia has your asian it's partly europe so it's just on its own territory as opposed to nato missiles being all over the place. but now the thing about this treaty is it bans all land based ground based missiles in that range it doesn't ban the sea launch

missiles it doesn't ban the air launch missiles that are in that same range so whether or not russia's got fifty missiles that violate that treaty it doesn't change the strategic balance where we need to be doing is sitting down and talking where we need it is negotiating we need to find ways if russia is violating it to bring them back into conformity with the treaty russia makes counter charges against us we don't inspect each other's missiles in europe the cede the land those missiles we need to be doing that and we need to be moving toward more toward a more expansive treaty i think trump is not running entirely it would be good to bring china and other countries into this but we need this is part of a much broader regime of. missile control and nuclear control and disarmament. earlier in the month n.b.c. news printed to another russian agent i think this bill will help further those

accusations. well unfortunately those accusations seem to stick in the media climate in the united states today trump has managed to build up a climate of fear trump's opponents have contributed to that in the insanity of trump's emergency measure today to for more security on the border that a one hundred or thousand central americans are trying to get into the united states does not pose a threat to american security but there's a lot of fear mongering going on some of the few mongolians about immigrants trying to get into the united states some of the fear mongering is about russia and its clans to invade european countries and create the russian empire again i mean this is a time when there's a lot of irrationality out there and we need to be talking yes the point i keep

making is that putin try g. mo d. the other leaders need to be talking now we need to plough mysie we don't need more spending on arms we don't need to figure out better ways to kill each other the capability of ending life on the planet already exists we don't need to be increasing it but it's a great speech to appreciate your time on for coming on on c.p.d. because nick is professor of history and director of nuclear studies institute at american university is also co-author with all of a stone of the untold history of the united states thank you. friday seen the start of the annual munich security conference where high ranking decision makers from around the world gather to address pressing global issues and then the day a number of speakers have outlined their concerns are one attendee the stood out from the rest british defense secretary kevin williams and devoted much of his speech to russia and how it poses a threat to global security let's get more on this from the respondent peter oliver

good to see peter what message then did gavin williamson have for the world and russia in particular. well the speech by governor williamson was a world certainly something that drew attention on a day that didn't really have its flaming moments but what we heard from the british defense secretary was how he saw the world at the moment and how we saw the better protection of the world he wants to see. this as a nation who holds dear the values of democracy tolerance and justice we must not be cowed or intimidated. that's why our military continues asserting its legitimate freedom of access in action across the globe. it does sound a little bit like what we've heard before from the in one thousand states basically do what we say or we're going to send in our troops williamson is being talked

about sometimes in whispered voices as a potential future leader of his party potentially a few chip prime minister of great britain the former fireplace salesman though has made himself somewhat notorious when it comes to statements that he's made he has said in the past where he wants to see britain become a global brand you want to see great britain go global he address not by announcing that he would be sending a aircraft carrier with a full fighter bomber contingent to the south china sea. it does come back to russia when it comes to govern williamson and we certainly heard from him when he spoke today in munich. brushes breach russian adventurism remains a threat russia's a legal activity russian recklessness russian governmental subversion.

we heard russia quite a bit their government williamson went on russia very much in focus when it came to the british defense secretary speech he continued about what russia needed to do in his opinion. we need to bring all pressure to bear to bring them back into line. the united states britain and others are all siding with the. world they're standing with one guy who's announced himself as the interim president of venezuela we're expecting more statements when it comes to venezuela and what to expect with the international. reaction to venezuela coming from the security conference i'll be here throughout this of course bring you all of the latest here on l.t. . appreciate it peter peter all of our correspond with the late. friends conducted airstrikes in the central african country of chad in

a bid to avert a coup d'etat aerial attack helped the chaldean army capture two hundred fifty five but french support for the current leadership in chad is drawing criticism in a potential explains just to the south of libya and between countries like nigeria and sudan there's a rare patch of relative stability called chad well it's just been bombed by france and you know what it's become even more stable after that because he's gone president deby asked us in writing to intervene to prevent a coup d'etat and protect his country. so they saved the government from the rebels the militants on dozens of pickup trucks had crossed over from libya thinking they could take the capital but chad's president deby is lucky enough to have such good friends. the french jets nipped the rebels' coup plan in the but by the way guess how it came to power almost thirty years ago and it crew ever since then has

been an ally for the west in dealing with all kinds of islamist thugs in the area so his government's legitimacy deserves to be protected the former french colony is not a regime by any means. our intervention was totally in line with international law and the prime minister has informed the president of the senate and the national assembly. a few more facts about mr dombey has just tweaked part of the constitution to be able to stay in power til twenty thirty three he's like in victories have been questioned by international observers he's even been accused of war crimes and his countries do when very bad when it comes to the economy job is a very poor country and with or without petrol with or without the oil money it's going to remain a very poor country and it needs it needs in many parts of the country it needs

humanitarian help this very bad now nutrition basic help that the country needs and what's needed i think is a really sustained sight against in particular against government which is becoming very widespread and very very serious problem in the country in case you didn't know the french army however has a history of standing by president deby oh we have got french taxpayers' money he's going in. to defend chad's current president that was going to blacklist of thirty many human rights watch groups it's totally hypercritical on the behalf of michael how can you on one side support the rebels in venezuela and attack them in chad there's no logic chat is one of the poorest countries in the world so why is france intervening to defend such a reach in. chad into the people of chad was decide what what is their future and what political system they want to install in suffolk america. we see less french

interest but enough raquel and invent is you and the french government to seize these crises as an opportunity to show some understanding of the united states and to side with the americans to show us some solidarity armorica but of course geopolitical interests are always more important than the order to go to ideologies on this. why you can find so different altitudes different countries if things stay the way they are don't mess with those in charge of chad for. another fourteen years. number of children with hiv and aids have been expelled from school in indonesia and suffer some of the parents of their classmates expressed outrage that infected children were attending class we heard from some of the kids who were kicked out.

there and strongly objected to the fourteen children sometimes and it's because they are h.i.v. positive we tried to. follow in their protest we took the children out of the school and now we're helping to find a new school for them. if. the soul if.

that's all i. ask. we also spoke to the head of an ngo helping children with hiv in indonesia and an affinity for almost a week these children have been staying home and not going to school they're very upset about it and really want to play with other kids again big keep asking me when they'll be allowed to go back i think children should be treated equally they

should all have the right to go to school these children have faced so many obstacles since entering school after kindergarten it's become the norm but we will stay strong i think there is no need to hide the location of the next school for these children if we are open it will be easier to explain to the public that their disease is in their body and will not easily spread to others. donald trump has confirmed he is announcing a national emergency friday to bypass congress and get funding for a wall on the border with mexico we would make up for the cost of the wall just at the cost of the fact that i would be able to have fewer people we would need all of this incredible talent and when i asked president xi i said you have a drug problem no no no i said why death penalty if you're going to have drugs pouring across the border then. very hard to make america great again well

folks will recall that we just had the longest government shutdown federal government shutdown in the history of the united states as congress and the president could not agree on the issue of funding for the border wall that trump has been talking about building ever since his campaign for president so as there was a deal reached recent signing of an agreement for funding that did not include the border wall we now see donald trump coming out and announcing a national emergency and this national emergency will enable him to build is border wall and secure funding for it without the approval of congress is invoking the national emergency act of one nine hundred seventy six now there is a huge amount of outrage coming from the democratic party they argue that this is creating a constitutional crisis and we've now seen nancy pelosi the speaker of the house a democratic party leader in congress talking about the possibility that perhaps a democratic president could take similar moves in the future let's take

a review of what nancy pelosi said when you talk about a national emergency let's talk about today when your anniversary. of another manifestation of the epidemic of gun violence in america that the national emergency why don't you declare that emergency mr president i wish you would but a democratic president can do that and what kind of committee president can declare emergencies as well and now it's important to note that sense in one nine hundred seventy six when the law was created enabling the president to declare a national emergency is that this law has been invoked fifty eight times fifty eight different national emergencies have been declared and thirty one of them are still in place the longest national emergency it was ever declared was when jimmy carter declared a national emergency in response to iran's islamic revolution in one nine hundred seventy nine now let's review barack obama for example he had ten national emergencies that he declared one on ukraine one on somalia george w.

bush declared eleven national emergencies one on bell reuss one on zimbabwe and then one after the nine eleven attacks bill clinton declared six including one on sudan normally national emergencies are used and declared in order to put sanctions on countries that gives the us president the ability to declare sanctions against countries that they deem to be violating the law or somehow somehow in conflict with the united states however this is donald trump declaring a national emergency in response to what he says is a dangerous humanitarian situation on the u.s. border he is arguing that the op activities of human traffickers and drug gangs have made a necessity that is border wall which he has been talking about ever since he campaigned for president be constructed he's arguing that it is a national emergency on the us mexico border and that that gives him the authority to declare a national emergency and begin building his wall so trump is invoking the one nine hundred seventy six law he expects it as he declared in his statement today he

expects that this will be challenged in court he expects to not only have this this challenge in court but to have to appeal it all the way to the u.s. supreme court so we're waiting to see what will happen next but at the moment we have donald trump declaring a national emergency so that he can then proceed to build his border wall. donald trump also fired off an angry tweet over revelations there was high level talk to have him removed from office in it he quotes the views of harvard law professor emeritus dershowitz who happens to be the latest guest on auntie's worlds apart ship host of which on a boy to my colleague to discuss that interview this whole discussion was triggered by the latest revelations by a former f.b.i. deputy chief and to my cape who on the record admitted that the justice department officials indeed considered back in two thousand and seventeen invoking the twenty fifth amendment to remove donald trump from office now that amendment provides for

a process of discharging a sitting president if he is mentally or physically incapacitated but according to alan dershowitz this but no means applies to trun because he's physically fit he may disagree with his policies and a lot of people do bread that is not the grounds for invoking this amendment and according to some people on the tram side that was as close as the united states has ever come to an administrative who when a group of unelected security officials get together and discuss removing democratically elected president from office well it was a terrible terrible abuse of the constitution the constitution provides for impeachment that's a political legal remedy but the twenty fifth amendment was designed for people who had a stroke or president reagan when he was shot when you're incapacitated your own conscience

when you're only able to be the president it provides a mechanism for replacing the president with the vice president it was never intended to be used to rid the country of a president who people don't agree with may have committed obstruction of justice or collaboration with russia but we know trump faces more pressure in the form of the ongoing miller investigation into a lie. rush inclusion so what did tissue it say about this he was very critical of the way the miller investigation is being carried out because remember almost two years into this probe we still don't have a single and dogman that relates to the original crime that it was supposed to investigate which is the collusion that's been the trump campaign and the russians we have a number of indictments based on this so-called process crimes when you arrest the person when you interrogate him when you summed for her when he essentially set up a moral trap to see if he would lie to the prosecutors and did

a couple of people did but none of them was or has been charged with. being directly involved with the russians and one one interesting point that dershowitz may makes is that even if administration officials had some contacts with the russians having a contact in and of itself is not enough to support the collusion charge well first of all even if there were between the trim campaign and some russians that would not be a crime it's not a crime to. it would be a crime only if members of the drum campaign or any campaign urged people in another country to commit a crime like hacking the emails of their opponents the democratic national committee but there's no evidence of that at all. and i suspect in the end what they'll find is there was some people in the campaign who had contact with some people in russian intelligence perhaps some contact with wiki leaks and contact with others but they're not going to be able to make

a case for the government of russia. being illegally we. presidential candidate donald trump we are running this interview in the fall this coming sunday and i think it raises a number of very interesting points about the lengths to which some americans are willing to go to remove tran from office and what they're willing to sacrifice in the process of doing that which according to dershowitz is the constitution and the rule of law. and order states is waging a geopolitical war against chinese tech giant war way that's according to the firm's deputy chief who believes washington cyber security worries henri ruse evangelise obsessions details. well it seems that while these officials are getting furious and tired with all this and rhetoric in a press conference in the southern chinese city of change in one of chairman eric

who accuse washington of carrying out a quote coordinated tactical jule political campaign against the chinese telecom firm the us government is undertaking a well coordinated jew political campaign against whoever way it's essentially using a national machine against a small company so we've been wondering is the recent fixation on who our way truly about cyber security could there be other motivations this is not the first time that we see why it was officials calling at the united states last week the company use words such as uncrowded and senseless and phil chalk the news on how the us government has been lobbying here pm governments against a telecom firm now few statements come after us secretary of state mike on pill media tour in eastern europe and has been warning its allies that if they use any of the chinese teleconference equipment in any of their major infrastructure projects they will face consequences when dealing with the united states chinese infrastructure is delivered via one way you mentioned huawei in china

we done here in poland what we've done all across the world their task is to make them aware of the concerns it risks and show them the data we've made known the risks that are associated with that we share the things we know about the risk to the waterways presence with all this negative talk around the coocoo is not actually only talk it seems to be paying off fringe carrier orange which operate in twenty seven markets has been using quad as its top equipment supplier but it would want run its first french five g. network with samsung but the pressure does not stop there just last month the us filed two criminal charges against the chinese telecom firm accusing them of stealing trade secrets. from telecom companies in the united states and thirteen counts of fraud and conspiracy to bypass sanctions on iran. has been battling with from western governments calling them become pany of spoiling for the chinese state

with of course sugaring react.
