good afternoon first of the twenty first of march one is kevin now in with the latest news update for you from r.t. international. european nations in the u.s. are concerned over italy's determination to take part in china's global trade network the so-called belt and road initiative journeys president xi jinping is jew in italy later thursday to discuss the details of a possible agreement within a culture of the reports the bad boy or the godfather of euro skepticism italy is once again tasking relations with the e.u. with wrong now pushing to join china's road and ballot initiative is reportedly setting off alarm bells and brussels and getting backs up in washington to. italy's a major global economy and great investment destination no need for italian government to lend legitimacy to china's infrastructure vanity project. and dosing

boat initiative lends legitimacy to china's predatory approach to investments a moving no benefits the italian people it's really could become the first member of the so-called group of seven the most powerful nations to join china some bushes plan to boost connectivity between asia europe and africa. local businesses will likely view the project as a positive but the major ports being referred to an investment into the millions of dollars it's got the italian press already speculating over a once forgotten port becoming trying as the gateway to europe the pool to treat us to is returning to the logistical world for europe that had for the old

austria-hungary an empire business opportunity as the site of the italian prime minister will be forced to explain his decision to remove the outline of the belt and rolled memorandum between italy and china is primarily economic and commercial it does not put into question our european and atlantic position it does not put our national interests at risk and it is on the same page as european strategy his cabinet alcoves those words saying that the deal would be non biting and would just represents the initial framework for everything to come their european partners who have a label it's beijing that's the stem make rival especially allies on the other side of the atlantic it's called one bill one road it's global and if you look at the spots where there are who are there there are gauging in you see some geo political and military aspects we will not allow china to develop its so-called one belt one road strategy even china's cutesy promus haven't helped change americans' minds

cannot. to see the. strength. breaking barriers when making history. after it see the chinese leader is planning his next stop in paris but here the expectations of talks going wow are not as promising. deeming earlier his professor of early modern european history and como italy he thinks rome should be allowed to act freely. while i think peter is going to achieve a lot i mean the new golden initiative is a major factor in a large part of me i mean that we need. a stronger import export relation with china lot all the major states and you are happy about that but i think. you know when you. are in the in the relations that itself we are starting to or now

own or now or the nation we are trying is unique and i think is a positive presence and i think that. you and the united states last that. made you can't win the war and mass. it's also. thinking to march on the walk to. the center of gravity and say. that once a very british prime minister is minted the country will not be able to leave the e.u. with a deal in place by the march twenty ninth deadline in a statement outside ten downing street trees and i pointed the finger firmly a parliament for the chaos. two years on and these have been unable to agree on a way to implement the u.k.'s withdrawal as a result we will now not leave on time with a deal on the twenty ninth of march. this delay is

a matter of great personal regret for me so let's take a step back to where this directs at saka began this week now it follows a letter sent by curious in may to donald tusk requesting and asking for an official breck extension now the letter clearly shows that with just nine days to go to west supposedly leaving the european union that deadline would be nigh on impossible to ratify a deal constructively so now june the thirtieth is what the prime minister really wants and not responding to that request donal's suggested the request would probably get backing for the rest of the e.u. twenty seven leaders on one condition that being that terrorism is twice rejected deal finally gets backing from across the house in parliament believe the show to extend would be possible. to have the condition. votes on that was drawn. in the house of commons so if those conditions are not met well

grex in that case is still just nine days away now back here in westminster though theresa may has received a new way of backlash for her decision to request a delay all she's doing is running around the clock after a second heavy duty to do it was just marks one thousand days since the referendum and this government is lead the country and themselves into crisis chaos and division so now all eyes are on the e.u. and britain in the summit on thursday and friday off this week to try and break the deadlock that has defined the last one thousand days here in britain of course nobody really anticipated would still be in a deadlock still across the house and the public division is really the word that encapsulates the sentiments across the house so how much of a gamble for the prime minister will internationalist who prefers rowland's get things through the most taking a huge world by folks of least threatening parliament here. i think super leaves

that if you are right at the last minute and duke says if the only alternative is no deal then our opponents will collapse but of course many of our opponents in the country don't want to deal there will no deal so the be quite happy for the deal to fail the fact remains that suit it goes to the dreadful deal most people don't like it most people think it's a lot of the british interests the public against it actively once against it except her because this deal is all in favor brussels and us nothing for the united kingdom if as i say if the speaker allows the deal to come back if it does come back i think it will fail again then two groups use the shorter. and i mean at that stage the european union might just say it will goodbye its new deal. american men are apparently less convinced now that sexual harassment in the workplace is such

a big deal as compared to back in twenty seventeen when the me too movement started according to a new poll a gallup survey found that fifty three percent of men see workplace harassment as a problem that therefore down from the sixty six percent in twenty seventeen with a me too movement exploded after a series of sexual assault allegations against powerful men then but it seems people are more sensitive to the problem gallup suggested that the way the story's been covered in the media may have changed men's attitude during that time a torrent of sexual misconduct allegations have been leveled against well known men and widely covered in the media this preponderance of news coverage may have men on the defensive or maybe they had a strong reaction in the immediate wake of the weinstein allegations and the start of the meeting movement but they may have become somewhat desensitized to the issue since then we put the findings up for debate it seems to me to movement is still a polarizing topic whatever the numbers say. what they said in their in their study

was simply that there is a discrepancy between men who are democratic as well as men who are republican and it seems as though that drop is more heavy leaning towards the republican man maybe it has something to do with the hearing on brett kavanaugh i think that a lot of men right now are a little concerned that this situation could happen to them and it's got them women deep in the cabin are hearings brought to light how false accusations going back years and years that have zero evidence can actually be used against someone later in their career and i think we've seen so many false accusations that many americans especially constitution loving americans fear rightly so perhaps that due process could be undermined if it's a if it's a she said it and we have to believe it scenario dating back to when women first

entered the workplace the forty two fifty s. and sixty's the seventy's there have been women who have not said a word why because the culture and the temperature and the climate was never an acceptable place in time for them to present their issues and so the old boys club or old boys network was allowed to function in this in this way were four million were able to do what they wanted to do and women weren't respected in the workplace and they were able to take advantage of women the rules have changed and we're not playing that game anymore and that's what's happening men are getting caught and they want to go back to hell things used to be and so they don't want to acknowledge the fact that. sexual harassment is still a very pervasive issue and since twenty seventeen you know i hear it there were engaged are actually a gross platitudes that your guest is using i take i take real exception with categorizing our castigating men as a one whole massive violent group while casting women as some sort of one whole

massive group of victims that is just not true there is great in areas that are not at all where idea or having a rational person is placement if we're going to have if we're going to have a rational conversation you have not read me we're having a contract that i'm good or bad and yes some women have made false out of it and yes some because you were going on yes some women have made false accusations it is an absolute provable fact and so until you're ready to have a conversation like that we're going to be caught up in all the same hypocrisy that many on this side of the me too movement that has become so radicalized that they think all men are evil and all women are victims my life experience has taught me that when you speak in black and white like that you make a big mistake and it's been it's bigotry frankly to talk that way about men or about what. racial tensions have fled in the far east and russian city if you could score through a central asian migrant was accused of kidnapping and raping a local woman many migrants and i fear for their lives of the shops and market

stalls where they work have been attacked. but for. what. this is the reality for central asian immigrants in the far eastern russian city of you could see they've coexisted with locals for years peacefully but they say they no longer feel welcome so good i might not get that we should give you but you must. it's more than you could you could do worse will salute and while they don't want to leave their lives and little businesses they have behind they're scared to stay because they came here and threatened us with a gun they said shut everything down and go home you won't live here any more xenophobic sentiment surged in the sabeer in city after a local woman was abducted and raped the media outed

a migrant from kyrgyzstan as the key suspect and the city snaps sporadic protests violent attacks and an attempt at storming a mosque many now want the whole day asper to make amends for the crime of a few individuals the local authorities while saying the crime has no nationality also said exactly what the morgue wanted to hear the guest insulting the host in his house is no longer against but an enemy. we are in our homeland in our city we're the masters of our land and we need to make sure everyone understands that officials have also promised to hunt down and deport everyone who's moved into the city illegally they've called on people not to take matters into their own hands the police have been detaining those delivering mob justice and charging them with administrative offenses also to quell the hatred law enforcement have

published official statistics. showing that out of almost three hundred cases of rape in the region last year only four were committed by foreigners the key demand now is that are we quick and transparent investigation and members of the migrant community support this call for justice for the rapist must be brought into the streets and punished publicly so that others never do the same but the damage has been done already and there's no obvious way of defusing tensions at this point most immigrants still choose to keep their shops cafes and market stalls shut in fact dozens of city buses stayed in their depos following the riots immigrant drivers were too afraid to show up for work for them it's better to lose some money rather than their lives it goes down off reporting coming up less the month before elections in israel some candidates are going all out to get votes some say way too

far find out what's happening right after the break. the wealthy in america decided we're up playing anymore we're going to just grab as much as we can of the cash out there in the system and put it you know offshore and that's why there is not twenty two trillion offshore and so there is a battle of credit in the system strong central bank instead of punishing the banks just flooded the system with more of the fia money and then those who are the paranoid have yachts versus the have nots decided you know we're going to put more offshore so they just keep trying and shipping it off shore and it's completely bypassing the economy and so the economy is getting more starved for credit and the people are getting more restless. so what we've got to do is

identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very. time to sit down and talk. again crushes ruptured in chile's capital santiago overnight during rallies for the rights of the indigenous people. i. there some pretty rough seems there are a time protesters setting fires in the streets so while the authorities in return used tear gas and water cannons to disperse the crowds and numerous arrests were made the arrest is linked to the police killing of

a twenty four year olds in approaching mine last november video the instant emerged after officers reporting from strong evidence that contradicted the state i. gem of politicians have lashed out of the us ambassador to the country calling for him to be expelled richard grenell was openly criticized berlin's plans to reduce its defense spending. nato members clearly pledged to move towards not away from two percent by twenty twenty four that the german government would even be considering reducing its already an acceptable commitments to military readiness is a worrisome signal to germany's twenty eight nato allies mr grant always a total failure of a diplomat all of this behavior is rather borish with his repeated clumsy provocations mr grenell is harming transatlantic relations since mr grenell took up his post as ambassador in berlin he has and several occasions quite conspicuously

interfered in the internal affairs of the federal republic of germany his behavior in the host countries anything but diplomatic and rather reminiscent of the governor of an empire the ambassador was referring to a goal which was set in a nato summit five years ago he's been repeatedly accused of trying to pressure german politicians and business leaders mr gretel's also urged germany to pull out of the north street gas pipeline project with russia former u.s. diplomat jim jeffords things berlin started to question its alliance with washington. mr grinnell does have president trump personal support now there was talk that mr grenelle might be moved to the united nations where nikki haley left but that didn't happen so i think it would be a very embarrassing for the administration to withdraw him the problem is is that we now have an american ambassador who is fro on polish about it especially with demands about spending more money on nato and you can't have five g.

from while away and you must not be buying. russian gas and complete the north stream to pipeline that it's starting to get on their nerves and maybe beginning to dawn on some people in germany that maybe this american relationship is not all it's cracked up to be now some people want to say this is all a question of style got think it's becoming clear that it's really more a question of substance. with elections coming up in israel next month candidates and iraq in the brain is to get the public's attention best account but it seems some of going to thaw getting banned for a controversial come tenth of a look at this of yourself. thank you. i'm sure. you know it's.

democratic i can feel for the things that she shows. what is the real thing that's happening to our skies and. i don't want to. stop to. the races still talking just like. i don't have anymore all to say it's horrible too much too much it's too i just feel it's violent and racist i don't think it's a joke very funny. but it's you know listen to find me it's not for me for making calls with version of both and then going to bed in the good one and i think the world is not like this and we have to work together for finding a solution a really good to good to ever since ever. think it's just the only. for

a future. the u.s. department of agriculture is facing a scandal over experiments in animals some of the tests reportedly included feeding potentially infected dead kittens to healthy ones to spend more than twenty million dollars to buy cats and dogs from abroad for these experiments. the culture research service says it conducts experiments to strict ethical standards research and talks so. parasitic infection the some scientists believe could defect off the world's population the key thing here is that cats play

significant role it's spread we split adjusted goodman from the organization behind the report he said some details of the gruesome testing. we were viewing several reports that contain basically just the challenge of how many animals are each laboratory united states and we saw at the u.s. the a there were several chats a list it being used but no other information about what their use involves so we submitted a freedom of information act request and were able to get some details initially about the fact that the u.s.d.a. is breeding under kittens here feeding them parasite infected meat collecting their feces for two weeks and then incinerating the cats you know they're perfectly healthy and adoptable fractionally you know of a lawsuit that's you obtained documents about this research because obviously now that we know they've been going around the world and rounding up dogs and cats from meat markets and people's past killing and feeding them to cats in these cannibal

experiments and i want people to know about that and they seems like they've got to great lengths to keep this project secret. september congress issued a resolution calling for improvements in animal protection but mr goodman again thinks it's just an example of the government said puck recy. we found it incredibly hypocritical that while the u.s. government is taking steps to not only ban cat dog states but also condemn nations that are doing a broad. the u.s. government was sending people over and sending money over to these countries and subsidizing these very kind of neat farms in markets that congress is so disgusted with and i'm virtually everyone in america wants to see end it so it's incredibly ironic and hypocritical and i think that is a testament to the incredible lack of accountability at the u.s.d.a. on one hand you have the entire nation working to stop a practice that the u.s.d.a.

is helping people live truth is that virtually any experiment on animals in the united states is legal as long as the right paperwork is filled out or less like that but finally some pretty pictures for you may or may not have seen this star gazers treated to a rare occurrence last night called a super would move a telly by the worm but in the bit this is how it looked from one is are is an argentine a soup thing isn't it it happens when the earth's natural satellite is at its closest point to us fully visible boy the nickname worm in case you wanted comes from farming traditions because worms of merge from the soul this spring much so that we up this one happened at the same time as the spring equinox making it even more spectacular take a breath for this vernal equinox superwoman moon always good snow for a pub quiz that i'm a full length bullet and on that note thanks for watching twenty six minutes past made today i'm kevin owen here in moscow check out a home full of stories twenty four.

hello and welcome to worlds apart the american policy in iraq was never a smashing success but apparently there's still a lot of room to make it worse the secretary of state's recent visit to the region all in the name of create a link the iranian influence was full of bold proclamations and quiet reversals

what does the trump policy in iraq ultimately come down to will to discuss that i'm now joined by mayor should have done far and iranian israeli middle east analyst and lecturer at the into disciplinary center in tears leigh and mr gemma done for thank you very much for your time and sort of for bungling your name it's ok no problem i guess i'm not the first one to do that correct now my initial idea was to discuss with you this latest bout with if american diplomacy in the middle east but i think we need to start watching the week earlier with a speech that mike compared delivered at a conference in houston in which he sad russia invaded ukraine to get access to oil fields that iran is pretty much doing the same in its own region now on russia ukraine he's basically wrong whatever motivates moscow's policy on the ukraine.
