a school in indonesia outraged parents speak to some of the kids who were forced out. of. our broadcasting live director of this is r t international i'm sean thomas glad to have you with us right two thousand and twenty u.s. presidential candidate congresswoman tulsi gabbert has introduced a bill that could stop president pullout from the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty known as the i.m.f. . south. part of our respective united states.
7:02 pm
here. right archie america correspondents are among has more. the landmark treaty was signed in one nine hundred eighty seven by then leaders ronald reagan and mikhail gorbachev and it's been one of the pillars of international security since it began nuclear capable missiles of intermediate range however thirty years later president trump facing constant accusations of collusion and not being tough enough on russia decided to withdraw from the treaty citing alleged violations by moscow now with the two countries to quit the deal fears are growing over a new arms race and research by trump aren't helping to quash those concerns perhaps we can negotiate a different agreement it being shown and others. or perhaps we can't in which case we will spin and out innovate all. by for
7:03 pm
russia has denied any violations and said that it's been open to washington for any necessary checks but that didn't help and for now the treaty has been suspended by both sides paving way for a potential arms race if not worse and now to see gabbert is trying to impede trump's move and it's not the first time she's taking action against a foreign policy that she considers controversial back when obama was in office she proposed the stop arming terrorist sucked this prohibited funding or support for any militant group with links to i sold or al qaeda after it turned out that some of the weapons provided to the so-called moderate rebels in syria surfaced into terrorist hands but despite how different republican president donald trump and democrat presidential candidates will see gabbert are that one thing in common both have been accused of being candidates selected by russia shortly after she announced that she's running with an anti-war platform and b c news claims that
7:04 pm
russia's propaganda machine has been working in her favor citing a discredit its source a company that was caught fabricating russian bots so we're now in the situation where to american politicians accused of being actually russian have drastically different views on a related issue that concerns the whole world. well i certainly hope it will be effective i mean i agree with ms gabbert that this is pushing this move by trump is pushing the world closer to the possibility of nuclear war these are the type of missiles these intermediate range missiles that a country like the u.s. might be willing to use on a limited basis so i hope that ms gabbers bill works i have doubts though because it seems like there's bipartisan support in the united states for war and for confrontation with russia now if if someone drinks russian vodka they're russian agent apparently it's silliness and but it's dangerous because this is an attempt
7:05 pm
to mark any peace activists any activists for social justice is some type of a pawn of the kremlin again very much like the old mccarthy period which links similar people with that with moscow. totally gabbert is just a one of a growing army of prominent political figures accused of being under the kremlin's . in case you missed it here's artes point work in getting to misstate russian stooges only coyly would rate claims there are none for ages and then turns out not all at once. russia. is making want to take the easy since 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've heard so much
7:06 pm
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 russian surgery is one of the most diverse in politics just look at the next member of. the newest recruit is 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 but he saw md 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.
7:07 pm
so how do you even become a russian stooge. kirit the russians stooge recruitment. to me we have positions available from entry level all the way up to executive level don't worry about applying for the job mainstream media analyst and establishment want to titian's will forward it to. the majority of our most successful employees simply fell into the job without noticing experience or knowledge of russia or russians is not essential the only qualification required is that you question the status quo publicly at least one if you are successful in your application we will inform you via m s n b c or fox news good luck.
7:08 pm
global security is widely viewed as a complex issue however during the opening day of the annual munich security conference the u.k.'s defense secretary made it clear where he thinks of the world's evil is centered over as more. speech by governor williamson was a certainly something that drew attention of the day that didn't really have its flaming moment 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 which is a nation who holds 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
7:09 pm
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 a potential future leader of his party potentially a few chips 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 though 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
7:10 pm
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 them back into line when you look at the speech in its entirety what he's doing again and again is referring to nato the relevance of nato because of course britain is leaving the e.u. and britain having leave in leaving the euro if indeed it does do so 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 day eyes of people are transatlantic since like gavin williamson they threaten nato to predominate 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 increase importance of nato which is called message. security analyst to trial
7:11 pm
sure bridge speaking there russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov who is attending the conference had a packed schedule on friday russia's top diplomat met with the secretary general of nato stoltenberg focusing on european security in light of washington's withdrawal from the i.n.f. treaty later in the day a lot of also discussed the gas pipeline project nord stream too with his german counterpart heiko muss the pipeline has been the target of american pressure with washington going so far as to threaten sanctions against the german companies involved bridge again says the u.s. and europe are increasingly not seeing eye to eye of course the pipeline project is one of those areas where european and united states interests divert you've got a situation where i think european leaders and i exclude the united kingdom from this because united kingdom of course is planning to leave the e.u. and very much sees itself in partnership with united states rather i think then with it you penalizing these issues and so where you've got united states applying
7:12 pm
pressure on for example germany in respect of the pipeline project that comes along with a lot is consistent with a number of other areas. shooting has taken place at an industrial park in a row in the u.s. state of illinois this is spiked of shooter named as forty five year old gary martin has been killed by police he was believed to be a worker at the warehouse where the incident took place eyewitnesses say there were approximately thirty people inside the building when the shooting started at least five people are reported dead with multiple people injured including four police officers city officials say that the injured officers are stable the exact number of victims is still unknown and wounded have been taken to local hospitals. all right france has conducted air strikes in the central african country of chad in a bid to avert a coup de ta the aerial attack helped to the chaldean army capture two hundred fifty fighters but french support for the current leadership in chad is drawing
7:13 pm
criticism and artie's comments. 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. 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
7:14 pm
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 an 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 is very bad now nutrition basic help that the country needs
7:15 pm
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 to support the rebels in venezuela and attack them in chad there's no logic shot is one of the poorest countries in the world so why is france intervening to defend such a reaching. out into the people of chad was decide what what is their future and what political system they want to install the suffolk maroko. we see less french interest but enough raquel and in venezuela the french government to seize these
7:16 pm
crises as an opportunity to show some understanding of the united states to side with the americans to show some solidarity be armorica but of course joe put it to go to interest always more important than the border to get an idea of g.'s and this is why you can find some different attitudes in different countries if things stay the way they are don't mess with those in charge of chad for what was it. another fourteen years. we'll be back after a short break. the united states does that all the time it always tries to influence elections when people who are running who are friendly to the united states are running against people who are unfair and we certainly did that all through central america and
7:17 pm
south america for many many years we know that these efforts are made repeatedly there not criminal every intelligence agency in the world sees as part of its function to make sure that elections turn out favorably to the country. what holds its hands to you so. they put themselves on the line they did accept the reject. so when you want to be president and she. wanted. to go right to be close this is what before three of them or ten people. interested in the was a. question. and
7:18 pm
welcome back this is aren't international so donald trump has an ounce to a national emergency in order 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 wouldn't 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
7:19 pm
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 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 the one year anniversary of another manifestation of the epidemic of gun violence in america that's a national emergency why don't you declare that emergency mr president i wish you
7:20 pm
would but a democratic president can do that and what kind of commit president can declare emergencies as well and now it's important to know 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. leah george w. bush declared eleven national emergencies one on bell roofs 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
7:21 pm
countries that they deem to be violating the law are 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
7:22 pm
a national emergency so that he can then proceed to build his border wall. following president decision a key committee of the u.s. house of representatives controlled by democrats announced it would launch an investigation in a letter to try him to make white house and justice department officials involved available for questioning. at least twenty palestinians were hurt in clashes between palestinian demonstrators and israeli soldiers in the gaza strip close to the border one of them is reportedly a fifteen year old child with life threatening injuries the great march of return protests are now in their forty seventh consecutive week in isolated gaza demonstrators were seen throwing objects at israeli military vehicles amid tear gas and live fire used by israeli defense forces several palestinians were carried away on stretchers by paramedics the i.d.f. said its soldiers were there to protect israeli families. a number of children with
7:23 pm
hiv and aids have been expelled from school in indonesia that is after some of the parents of their classmates expressed outrage that infected children were attending classes we heard from some of the kids who were kicked out. parents strongly objected to the fourteen children so tandems because they are h.i.v. positive we tried to proceed but following their protest we took the children out of the school and now we're helping to find a new school for them if they think
7:24 pm
7:25 pm
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. french schools may be forced to replace the words mother and father on official forms of parent one and parent to the national assembly has approved a measure to champion what it calls diversity over old fashioned family models the senate could still block the bill but the m.p. behind the move says it is time for a change. this amendment aims through to law children's family diversity in
7:26 pm
administrative forms submitted in school. earlier we put the issue up for debate with radio host john dart and human rights activist peter tatchell. this particular proposal is to try and ensure that the kids in the school the staff and the parents all feel included that in the case of you know two women who are parents to a child that is obviously not appropriate to have mother and father there are two mothers and the same with ok dad is pathetic isn't it because they could be called moment mom was that what the proposal actually actually says he's parent one and parent two if they want to call them moment momos got a problem with that nobody's got a problem with a kid who now has got two two moms but we don't need to legislate for it parents who are on parent to what are we just give the kids a number other number seven it's nonsense yet you know just the fact that same as
7:27 pm
their parents are a minority doesn't make discrimination or second class status right i mean you know jewish people a small minority but i hope no one would want to you know say that jewish people shun bastard bar because of their faith or this history if a child has two moms or two dads then i think it's probably not correct to say father and father because obviously one will be the biological father and the other one won't i would suggest that possibly an alternative or that's probably one of the card bills don't account become a compromise might be mother to give people the option mother father or legal guardian so that the word law mother died when i was eleven and it would have been my own say so my own to it was really her guardian and she was my own c. nobody batted an eyelid and the same in this you can record legal guardian peter that's not what they're suggesting they're suggesting you can't use the word father
7:28 pm
or mom and dad that's what they're suggested peter is not being completely fair on it still maybe doesn't understand the story this is an attack on the ninety four. percent of people not only in france for around the world who are in the traditional family the traditional family is constantly being attacked at the moment by globalists all around the world is not meant as an attack upon your traditional families this is just an attempt to broaden the terms or make the terms more gender neutral so that everyone feels included the whole world is going crazy these minorities have got too much influence in the media let's stop emphasizing our differences and let's come together and let's put the children first. all right that does it for me i'll be back with more news in about thirty one and a half minutes stay with us. except
7:29 pm
7:30 pm
you know world a big part of new things a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bats 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 for watching closely watching the hawks.
