3:02 am
a puppet state of the corrupt british islamic republic of iran the way to alleviate the many people's suffering isn't to prolong the conflict by handicapping our partners in the fight but by giving the saudi led coalition the support needed to defeat arabian back rebels and ensure just peace in fact donald trump's arms deals with the arabia are expected to total around three hundred fifty billion dollars dollars over a decade and apart from supplies and military equipment washington provides red with logistics and intelligence to next this morning our senior correspondent orgasm of looks deeper into the u.s. secretary of state's comment. the united states makes no secret of what it stands for freedom justice democracy and saudi arabia the white house stands on that even if the senate is having second thoughts voting to end u.s. support for riyadh's endless war in yemen saudi arabia is
3:03 am
a bloody war in yemen world's worst humanitarian disaster the horrific wall in yemen saudi led quagmire we are helping saudi arabia drop bombs on churches and weddings we all want this conflict to end if you truly care about your many lives you'd support the saudi led effort to prevent yemen from turning into a puppet state of the corrupt british islamic republic of iran as opposed to becoming a puppet of the free and fair saudi arabia but what do we know the saudis have waged a four year war against who with the rebels who they call terrorists that has turned yemen into a humanitary. and catastrophe was even in syria four and five yemeni civilians twenty four out of twenty eight million need aid to survive three in five or twenty million either on the brink or already starving that
3:04 am
is to pump a zero has a solution the united states has given more than two billion dollars to help the many people since the start of the conflict and saudi arabia has given over five hundred million dollars in two thousand and eighteen alone and has pledged an additional five hundred million dollars this year we sowed to about two dollars per hungry civilian per month from washington but adds for the cameras you know where the real money is guns oh yes guns are very very you know five hundred thirty three million dollars five hundred twenty five million dollars the screeners view. peanuts he says twelve point five billion dollars in that the u.s. is selling saudi arabia is peanuts what does that make the aid then but mr pompei zero is adamant if
3:05 am
a little bit rabid in his support for saudi arabia and gun sales if we truly care about saudi lives you'd want to stop around back to these from launching missiles into riyadh amazing how you can twist and turn reality on its head rather than protecting you many civilians from saudi arabia he's protecting saudi arabia from starving many civilians brilliant speaking of protecting saudi lives there is a tiste one life that washington didn't seem so concerned about mr hersh shoji was the victim of a brutal and premeditated killing planned and perpetrated by. of the state of saudi arabia riyadh brushed off ickes ations that the rural family had anything to do with it saying it was rude to operation and that seems washington was all too happy to support this explanation here we've seen that relationship which.
3:06 am
is really the trillion dollars in profit the us oil company the banks the military corporations the trump government and usually notice the. ministrations of washington democrat and republican serve the interests of big banks and corporations and so many no relationship all that it means or how or why or just the part that's the priority not the lives of young men or the people in saudi arabia. or. another we kid of the briggs's could be really eventful for breakfast with the u.k. parliament expected to vote for a third time on three's may's divorce deal the british prime minister's been trying to rally support yet again form from a conservative party and also key coalition bomb is warning that any rejection now could stall brix it indefinitely. if parliament can find
3:07 am
a way to back to brag city hall before a european council the u.k. will leave the spring without having to take part in the european elections and we can get on with building our future relationship with the if it cannot will not leave he you for many months if ever so where we are at the moment british m.p.'s rejected treasonous proposals in a series of votes this last week where they also voted against the no deal breaker crucially to say this march twenty ninth deadline not looking so important but parliament burked plans to extend the u.k.'s withdrawal period from the e.u. so this pushback has left a reason why with a smaller pool of options to see their plan through basically if m.p.'s rejected brussels for a long deadline extension may be potentially lasting years depending on the reaction back home that could trigger a general election or maybe even a second referendum but if m.p.'s pass mase deal she'll ask brussels for
3:08 am
a short extension till maybe june the thirtieth if that's not granted or no deal agreed the u.k. still even at this late stage could simply crush out of the bloc empty handed political commentator john boyd has this prediction on how this week's ballots going to go down. very unlikely that she will manage to get her was droll deal passed empowerment a time of asking because the majority that voted against it in a conference last time she tried the second time was one hundred forty nine so she has to convince one hundred forty nine m.p.'s who voted against it just just one week ago to change her mind within a week recently is clearly determined to be the prime minister who goes down as delivering breaks it but she's only delivering more and more chaos and division in the country and usually when our prime minister loses parliament a parliamentary vote it's a resigning issue because it means she's lost or he has lost the authority of the
3:09 am
house of commons and with thirty whole kind of prime minister lead but she's managed to hang on because we are in an extraordinary times and it is no the parliament is divided over the issue footnote to this recent polls in the u.k. said yes forty six percent would vote remain in a second referendum only thirty six percent would choose leave now under the current while it's still unclear when exactly breaks it will happen some are already feeling the pinch.
3:10 am
you know if it's. just a ploy. to the united kingdom over the decade. capable of carrying nuclear weapons to take part in nato drills in georgia close to russia's southern border the touched. of a potential nuclear strike against russia ripples. no limits on american military power even when it comes to news that seems to be the prevailing sentiment among
3:11 am
certain forces earlier this year to u.s. senators put forward a new law to prohibit the first strike use of nuclear weapons by the united states they made it pretty simple the entire text of the law was one sentence it is the policy of the united states not to use nuclear weapons first now that's also the policy of the russian president but top u.s. military brass say that it's unacceptable and i wouldn't recommend any change to simplify. decision making now. so can envision several circumstances where we would not want to remove that option from the president there are some circumstances apparently where nuking somebody who hasn't already knew you first it might be a good idea we decided to talk to new yorkers and see what circumstances they think it might be can you think of any situation where we would nuke somebody who had nuke us first. i. know that's a look. i don't think that's right i don't know what the circumstances would be i
3:12 am
mean like syria i mean that makes sense to me that he knew spotlight with syria what was going on hopefully lands over there not here so in some circumstances nuking somebody first might be a valid decision but what exactly constitutes aggression take it from the acting secretary of defense or competitors of not being complacent china's defense spending china's organized approach to steal foreign technology russia for its part continues to compete asymmetrically with the united states now he made that statement while explaining why the us military budget despite being higher than every other country in the world by billions of dollars was actually going up so russia is doing it and we have to keep up but let's look at what russia is actually doing total combined military budget for nato countries in the year of twenty nineteen is roughly one thousand three hundred ninety five billion euros meanwhile russia is spending thirty nine billion euros so how exactly is the usa catching up china and russia in particular the capabilities developed over the last few years to limit our ability to operate freely in space cyberspace land sea and air in the
3:13 am
capabilities that we have identified in this year's budget really designed to allow us to project power when it were necessary to ensure interest in the context that emerging threat for china and russia so at this point us military policy has two major promises number one first strikes with nuclear weapons are a ok and number two russia and china two major nuclear powers are bad and must be opposed can anyone think of a greater recipe for disaster. r.t. new york. city's public is not the only one talking tough right now so as you. sometimes yes. i push people that is true. i would trade you for a bottle of water. she was known to throw off his rump tricks

and frustration. for breeze were to perform beauty they described as the washing dishes for. negative report so now you see that some of your staff and what you are when you're out there on the world stage and dealing with people like glad that you want someone who has. thousands of anti-government demonstrators must have side police station h.q. in the serbian capital belgrade said yesterday they were demanding the release of those arrested during the storming of the country's state t.v. channel protesters earlier drove a truck at

rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. or somehow want to. get it right to be close it's like the faux tree of the morning can't be good. interested always in the waters of our. first six. again not as expressed concerns over dancing five g. wireless technology they say could potentially interfere with vital weather data setting forecast accuracy but fifty is the one quarter of ports. remember the devastation left in the wake of america's worst hurricanes.
3:18 am
now think what if those affected had one less day to brace for disaster it might seem hard to imagine but nasa warns that this could be the future of weather forecasts and it's all because of the new five g. network everyone's ranting and raving about. a new boston that way has the potential to transform the internet the promise is to connect nearly every aspect of our lives over an incredibly fast reliable wireless network driving cars smart cities fully connected homes and robots this is the future in a lead howard. she. sure five g. might provide better cell phone coverage but to set it up the federal communications commission wants to auction off the bandwidth used by meteorologists to predict the weather and that nasa warns could knock forecasting accuracy all the
3:19 am
way back to nine hundred seventy the current federal communications commission proposal would have a significant negative impact on the transmission of critical science data the problem has to do with a special radio frequency sensors that detect weather patterns operate on the same wavelength that five g. is set to use now these sensors are vital for quickly informing the public of natural disasters without them it would have been impossible to predict hurricane sandy's trajectory in two thousand and twelve and meteorologists are worried because a new five g. network could drown out that information this is a very difficult thing because a lot of the radio frequencies that are used to sense the atmosphere to get of starvation is about the weather are very close to areas where five g. will occur and in fact we do know that many of the weather sure asians that we collect from space. do meaningfully impact
3:20 am
estimates of the track and intensity of developing storms over the ocean this is not only in issue or the united states it is an issue for the entire world the f.c.c. wipe their hands clean of scientists concerns they said a quick rubber stamp from the state department was good enough for them it's no wonder though the federal communications commission will move forward as planned. in the race to five g. and the american people can quickly enjoy the benefits of the next generation of ones connectivity donald trump already said american companies need to compete or get left in the dust and a full speed ahead charge into a five g. world is. only the only way to do it as for the everyday american well they'll have to bear the consequences i'm definitely five g. because we've been through hurricanes here you're not going to slow down technology and the applications that we can use five g.

for are very exciting i'm not sure the risks have been defining i'm not sure that we know what the risks are i do not believe a faster internet and that is. worth the risk over three thousand puerto rican died as a result of hurricane maria and twenty seventeen without the warnings twenty first century technology brings there is no telling how much devastation the next disaster may bring donald quarter r.t. . germany piece of munich of suspended five offices for sharing neo nazi content over a dozen offices are under investigation in the sporting anti semitic videos and images of swastikas it was found by chance with an officer's phone during a sexual offense investigation one senior rabbi in germany we spoke to says any anti semitism in the police force should not be tolerated. the police force exposed to the lower or higher. so of course in the police here are all

negative views and as the minute you use something that can be accepted we want people not to be worried one of the trust in society people have to know that law enforcement is there are actually how the people are not the other way around and if there's anybody force of course generally that hannah anderson if you're intolerant used to be immediately removed. to new power plants are set to launch in crimea ensuring energy for the potential of the plants are part of a larger infrastructure project to develop the region in southern russia. a new airport schools kindergartens hospitals a state of the art one of a kind bridge from the peninsula to the mainland. russia has been steadfast on its promise to propel its new all region into prosperity yet still crimea has been plagued by one particular type of hardship and
3:23 am
that is electricity supply it may seem like a third world problem and really well it is but still of the peninsula would plunge into darkness repeatedly and abruptly that would be for all sorts of reasons really starting from crumbling infrastructure and sometimes that would be due to accidents and well at times crimea would be simply held hostage by its x. key of either incapable of or not willing to keep the lights on in people's homes see crimea draws most of its power from ukraine so it's doomed to dependency on a country chose not to be a part of that's how it is for now yet not for long because russia is launching into full capacity several brand new power plants to tackle this problem once and for all.
3:24 am
but of course this is just the backdrop to world the main event and that is the celebrations because the launch coincides with the five year milestone since crimea voted to join russia and people in all major cities of the peninsula said to mark this date in the streets and i will be bringing you all the latest from the chair and we done of reporting from soon for awful in crimea see. stories as the how. to get our up against

3:29 am
we have documented there is not even a military target people themselves were asking why we were targeted. it is even a strange it's just it's not that's why it's not a matter of training it's a matter of accountability they don't care but dres i'm a does care not hear about the eighty percent of the twenty four million requiring humanitarian assistance or the fourteen point three million right now in acute need but about the country she is selling the weapons to what matters is that we have the relationship in gauge what this enables us to do that but we will also be talking about the very important relationship that u.k. has with saudi arabia an important relationship yes in terms of trade but also in terms of security security the jeremy corbin who backs international calls for an arms embargo and saudi arabia says it's actually threatened by u.k. involvement in the world's worst humanitarian crisis the government is of course still suppressing europe. bought into the funding of extremism which allegedly
