faced accusations in the media of being the kremlin's favorite two years ago the hawaii congresswoman met with the syrian president and this year has refused to call him an enemy of the united states that it's once an american author an antiwar activist police is only being branded a russian agent because she does to express opposing views anyone who expresses views. in the direction of peace and cooperation and against a new cold war and potentially a nuclear apocalypse is so branded and it's not just all sigebert and to her credit she has done a fairly good job in media interviews of pushing back against that nonsense so she may herself be helpful in on doing this this stigmatizing of of what used to be a very popular liberal position within my lifetime which is that was that we needed

to be more friendly and blast hostile toward russia have since to raise their head above the parapet it's an announced a bid for the presidency of twenty twenty she's been taking flak ok she missed it his political. and get it to misstate russian stooges only coyly would rate claims there are none for ages and then ten how not all at once. russia. is making want to take the easy fin twenty sixty politicians no longer need compelling arguments or persuasive policies to all that if you're up against a tough opponent the kind that popular with votes is just cool of the russians these stooges are just human versions of those russians but we tried so much about they don't actually have to be real to walk sure having your own stooge in a position of power would have its advantages but even better is being able to accuse your enemies of being one a career in russians do jury is one of the most diverse in politics just look at
3:06 pm
the select members of. the nearest her crew as democratic presidential hopeful tell seek out god who suggested that bad relations with the biggest nuclear power in the world may not be in everyone's best interests she says simone american hindu female socialist following in the prestigious footsteps of the song as an old white american male socialist jeremy corbin an old white british male socialist and don't trump an old orange american male republican opportunist so literally anybody can be a russian stooge and those are just the anti hillary and anti war ones and here are the pro-war pro hillary clinton ones. so how do you even become a russian stooge. herath

3:08 pm
centered on the speech of all of it was following his speech. well the speech by governor williamson was a well 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 but 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 the voices as
3:09 pm
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 it 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 russia's breach russian adventurism remains a threat russia's illegal activity russian recklessness russian governmental subversion we heard russia quite a bit their government williamson went russia very much in focus when it came to the british defense secretary speech we need to bring all pressure to bear to bring
3:10 pm
them back into line the united states britain and others are all siding with the. 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 is of course bring you all of the latest here on r.t. . well russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov who is attending the conference has had a packed show jeweled today russia's top diplomat there with the secretary general of nato stoltenberg and focused on european security in light of washington's withdrawal from the i.n.f. treaty live also sat down with the foreign affairs chief federica mongering to discuss the situation in venezuela syria and ukraine's. speed out to bridge the security analyst and former u.k. army officer very good evening to you charles felt to me a bit like governments who are trying to channel the spirit of winston churchill
3:11 pm
there even sounded a little bit like him at times what i didn't understand was what was he trying to achieve what was the point of that speech today from ellipse. it's interesting when you look through his speech sure enough it's littered of course as your reports just proved with references to russia evil russia russia that he's breaking the rules based order that he talked about and of course what i mean by that as we've seen again and again is the west rules or rather the rules of america britain and france arguably israel is well that's allowed countries to attack places such as iraq. libya to foment rebellions and so on in places like syria and to declare that a person of your choosing is going to be the president of another country which is why of course britain france and america have done in the case of venezuela but notwithstanding all of those even quite recent actions of course the allegations come to confide asked let's not forget the earlier this week let's not forget first
3:12 pm
of all it governable him sense has acquired quite a reputation for having a habit for speaking in a very bellicose fashion earlier this week for example he as you report actually alluded to he actually said that once britain has its aircraft carriers up and running and then even as aircraft on them which is going to be for another couple of years yet that one of the first things that britain will do will setpiece to send them to china to confront china and in today's financial times for example we can see see the beginnings of the consequences of those careless words where it's reported at least that his words are now jeopardizing trade talks between china and the united kingdom a particular of course sensitive time where britain needs trade agreements in the post-breakfast world if indeed it is going to happen so again he didn't mention china today of course and i suspect that's probably because of what the financial times reported today what we've got here though i think when you look at the speech in its entirety what he's doing to get in again is referring to nato the relevance
3:13 pm
of nato because of course britain is leaving the e.u. and britain having leaving in leaving the euro if indeed it does. because it's still not clear only weeks away of course that gives the green light to france germany and others to form european alliances which in the eyes of people transatlantic since like gavin williamson they threaten nato as a predominant military force of the west so again and again he was keen to suggest that russia is the enemy that is at the gates of europe and europe is desperately in need of support of america and nato that's what it came back to to diminish the importance of the e.u. and increased importance of nato which is called message i'm just interested you mentioned you know this of threatening rhetoric about about china and today it was about russia should you know what shit step just how militarily powerful is the u.k. is it a force to be reckoned with or is it hiding behind nato. well i think even if they are u.k. soldiers and so on watching they will know the situation that britain is
3:14 pm
desperately short in terms of money for its own forces it takes on commitments that it can't really meet it has recruitment shortages in or the armed forces you doesn't quit when shortages training deficits and so on those aren't just in the case of the u.k. forces of course but in the united kingdom we've had years of competing demands for the health service for education son of god and williamson it can be said for on his behalf has absolutely fought tooth and nail to insist that britain is under threat from various parties and must have more money for its armed forces and so again that could be part of this he also of course is alluding to the idea that britain after plex it can become a great world superpower again he can spot almost the colonial days he talks about having overseas bases he talks about britain being deployed around the world notwithstanding that the e.u. of course as never prevented britain do not the main reason why britain wouldn't do
3:15 pm
that is because it hasn't got the money to do it and secondly of course it's not really clear what the benefits for british. it would be of the united kingdom seeking confrontation in the way he described earlier this week with the likes of china and russia particularly places so far away for people like where they were in sim the armed forces their job isn't primarily it would appear to protect and defend britain it's to project the power that britain which in his mind i think once had so you've got the issue first of all whether britain is capable by itself of protecting power in the way that he and others have described the answer frankly is no it would take a massive increase in spending to be able to achieve that and secondly anyway what the desirability realistic. especially post the world would be of that why would you want to confront these powers over issues that have got very little relevance to yourself rather than concentrating on defending your homeland and your interests closer to home we also heard williams and go through
3:16 pm
a long list of accusations against russia he spoke of them as if they were established facts we haven't seen evidence to back up the supposed facts what does that say about the level of discussion when accusations are being being put forward in the way. well it's purely rhetoric at the end of the day williamson is a prime candidate for being prime minister as your report pointed out he very much sees himself is in the ascendant i think. and he's posturing if you like for a domestic audience as well as for an international audience i mean there is the core issue as i mentioned that he's trying to. assert upon your pins because remember this conference is in germany he was repeatedly referring to his german counterpart that nato is all important and whilst it wasn't mentioned he's of course the subtext of that is that there's no substitute for nato within the e.u. or any european partnerships but also i think what he's doing of course is he's
3:17 pm
making assertions again without evidence as we would expect for example he mentioned that russia is trying to. the west into an arms race notwithstanding the particular refer to the i.n.f. treaty and of course the facts don't fit with that particular narrative in that it's actually the united states that has pulled out of that notwithstanding that putin himself said that the inevitable result of that would be a new arms race and so you've got a situation where that example particularly that he quoted it's the facts on the ground actually the opposite of what he. says there are plenty of us feels it's time charles schubert my guess security analyst former u.k. army officer. france has conducted airstrikes in the central african country of chad in a bid to avert the aerial assault help the champion army capture two hundred fifty fighters but french support for the current leadership in chad is drawing criticism
3:18 pm
as they were trying to explain. just to the south of libya in between countries like nigeria and sudan there is 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 you don't 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 bud 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 and dealing with all kinds of islamist thugs in the area
3:19 pm
so his government's legitimacy deserves to be protected the former french colony is not a regime by any means to see 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 chad 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 is very bad now nutrition the basic help that the country needs and what's needed i think is
3:20 pm
a really sustained spite against in particular against government action 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 is going in. to defend chad's current president that was to go on the black list of thirty many human rights watch groups it's totally hypercritical on the behalf of marco how can you on one side support the rebels in venezuela and attack them in chad there's the logic chat is one of the poorest countries in the world so why is france intervening to defend such a reach in. the chat rooms 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 in venice who and the french government sees
3:21 pm
these crises as an opportunity to show some understanding of the united states to side with the americans to show some solidarity armorica but of course geopolitical interests are always more important than the order to go to ideologies on the. 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 h.i.v.'s aides have been expelled from school in indonesia after some of the parents of their classmates expressed outrage that infected children were attending class we heard from some of the children who were kicked out.
3:22 pm
3:23 pm
when. it's my class if. we also talk to the head of n n g o helping children with h.l.v. in indonesia. and than a family 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
3:24 pm
stay strong and 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. but on trump has confirmed that he is announcing a national emergency on friday to bypass congress and get funding for a war on the border with mexico we would make up for the cost of the war 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
3:25 pm
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 we want to talk about a national emergency let's talk about today when your anniversary. of another
3:26 pm
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 now it's important to note that since 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 roosts one on zimbabwe and then one after the nine eleven attacks bill clinton declared six including one on
3:27 pm
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
3:28 pm
challenge in course. but you 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. you don't study this is waging a geopolitical war against chinese tech giant weiwei according to the firm's deputy chief he believes washington cyber security worries are a ruse vangelis subsists has 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
3:29 pm
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 in 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 bump ill 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. 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
3:30 pm
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 one 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 becomes a need of spoiling for the chinese state with of course sugaring reactions from not only from walkway over the chinese government as well now but children without any solid evidence the u.s. keeps inventing crimes and china different theories it's using.
