terminations to take part in china's global trade network the so-called belt unroot initiative chinese president xi jinping is juniper later on thursday to discuss the details of a possible deal for the here's what we know with r t s medina culture of the bad boy or the godfather of euro skepticism it's only it's once again a tough thing relations with the e.u. with rome now pushing to join trying this road and ballot initiative that's reportedly setting off alarm bells in 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 trying this ambitious plan to boost connectivity between asia europe and africa. local businesses will likely view the project as the 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 a gateway to europe the pool to returning to the logistical world for europe that it had for the old austria-hungary an empire business opportunity is the site of the italian prime minister will be forced to explain his decision. of the belton

road 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-binding and would just represents the initial framework for everything to come their european partners who have labeled species in a systemic rival especially allies on the other side of the atlantic it's called one bill one road and it's global and if you look at the spots where there are who are there there are a gauging in you see some geo political and military aspects we will not allow china to develop its so-called one road strategy even china's cutesy promise haven't helped change americans' minds of our good. to see the ground. 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 well are not as promising apolo bernardin a professor of early modern european history in como italy thinks rome should be allowed to walk freely. while i think people is going to achieve a lot i mean the new golden initiative is a major factor in a large part of the economy i mean that we need. a stronger import export relation which i not locked all the major states and europe are happy about that but i think . you know. in the in the relations. we are starting to or now on the well now on the nature. of the chinese immediately i think is a positive thing. and the united states.

that still a major conflict the war must. think . on the walk to. the central government. and say. britain's prime minister has admitted the country will not be able to leave with a deal in place by the march twenty ninth it like in a statement outside ten downing street trees or may pointed the finger firmly parliament for the cales. 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 brecht 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 donald suggested the request would probably get backing for the rest of the e.u. twenty seven leaders on one condition that being that carries a maze twice rejected deal finally gets backing from across the house in parliament believe the show to extend would be possible. to have. votes on there was a door agreement 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 no ray 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 yeah as there always is a lot of reaction to the latest twist international history professor alan scared he told us that treason is taking a huge gamble by effectively threatening parliament. i think she believes that if you are right to the last minute and duke says if the only alternative is no deal

then our opponents will collapse but of course many of their opponents in the country don't want to deal they will no deal so they'll be quite happy for the deal to fail the fact remains that is. dreadful deal most people don't like it most people think it's a lot to do but you didn't trust the public against it right davey once against it except that uses steel is all in favor of brussels and does nothing for the united kingdom if the safe this week the deal to come back if it does come back i think it will fail again then to be fused. and i mean i know that stage the european union might just it will goodbye new deal. all right moving on the american men are apparently less convinced that sexual harassment in the workplace is such a big issue as compared to back in twenty seventeen when the me too meant began

courting to a new poll a gallup survey found that fifty three percent of men seem workplace harassment as a problem that's done though from sixty six percent when the me too movement exploded essentially after a series of sexual assault allegations against powerful men but it seems people are more sensitive to the problem gallup suggested that the way the story has been covered in the media may have altered men's up to choose. 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 put 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 or we putt the findings off for debate tell it seems then me to move and there's 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 men 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 woman deep in the cavanagh 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 in 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. the gross platitudes that your guest is using i take i take real exception with categorizing our cast. hating 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 a gradient going that you're not at all where i didn't have an irrational earthiness placement if we're going to have if we're going to have a rational conversation you haven't read me we're having a congress i'm going or bad and yes some women have made false and yes some because you were going on a 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 its bigotry frankly to talk that way about men or about women. racial tensions flared in the far eastern russian city of after a central asian migrant was accused of kidnapping and raping

a local woman many migrants are now of an age after shops and market stalls where they work where he talked. but work. 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 us. 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 anymore 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 then attempts 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 a host in his house is no longer against but an enemy. we are in our homeland in our city where 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 a very quick and transparent investigation and members of the migrant community support this call for justice to the rapist must be brought into the street 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 posts 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 violent scenes in the south american country of chile we've got

that story after this. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. i've been saying the numbers mean something they've matter us with over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime families each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be old rich with six percent from world markets closed thirty percent some with four hundred to five hundred three first second per second and when he rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overrule.

the only number you need remember one one business showed you know for the mid one and only boom but. hello again plush is erupted in chile. go over night during rather is for the rights of the indigenous people. i protest or set fires in the streets while authorities used tear gas and water cannon to disperse the crowds numerous arrests were made the arrest is linked to the police killing of a twenty four year old the preacher man last november video of me incident. emerged

after officers reportedly tried to destroy evidence that contradict that there's a. german politicians have a law starts out the u.s. ambassador to the country calling for him to be expelled it came after richard grinnell openly criticized berlin's plans to reduce its defense and 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 i'm acceptable commitments to military readiness is a worrisome signal to germany's twenty eight nato allies mr grunow is a total fear over deployment all of this because the is rather boring with his repeated gloms it broke asians mr grunow is coming transatlantic relations since mr

grinnell took on his bowels there's a massive burn berlin he has on several occasions quite conspicuously interfere in the international affairs of the federal republic of germany his behavior in the hell's gantries anything but diplomatic and rather ruminants and over the governor of an empire the ambassador was referring to a goal set of a nato summit five years back he's repeatedly been accused of trying to pressure german politicians and business leaders mr grinnell has also urged germany to pull out of the nord stream gas pipeline project with russia former u.s. diplomat jim chatteris thinks berlin is starting to question its alliance with washington. mr grinnell does have president trumps personal support now there was talk that mr grinnell 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 strain 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 but i think it's becoming clear that it's really more a question of substance. the u.s. department of agriculture is facing a scandal over experiments on animals some of the tests reportedly included feeding potentially infected dead kittens to healthy ones the scientists spent more than twenty million dollars to buy cats and dogs from abroad for the experiments.

well the agricultural research service says it conducts experiments to strict ethical standards they are researching talk so plus most is a part ascetic infection that some scientists believe could affect half the world's population cats play a significant role in its spread well we spoke to justin goodman from the organization behind the report he shared some details of the gruesome testing. we were viewing several reports that contain basically just a count of how many animals are at each laboratory united states and we saw at the u.s.d.a. there were several cats listed 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 and usually about the fact that the u.s.d.a. is breeding under kittens a year feeding them parasite infected meat collecting their feces for two weeks and then incinerating the gas even though they're perfectly healthy and adoptable fractionally in the middle of a lawsuit to obtain documents about this research because obviously now that we know they've been going around the world and rounding up and dogs and cats for meat markets and people's packs killing and feeding them to cats in these kitten cannibal experiments they don't want people to know about that and they seems like they've gone to great lengths to keep this project a secret. september congress issued a resolution calling for improvements in alamo protection but mr goodman again believes that it's just an example of the government's hypocrisy we found it incredibly hypocritical that while the u.s. government is taking steps to not only ban cat and dog meat european states but

also condemn nations that are doing it abroad. 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 then for everyone in america wants to see and 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 up. talking stellar matters now stargazer is being treated to a rare occurrence called a super where i'm moon this is how it looked from wayne us ari's in argentina a supermoon happens when earth's natural satellite is out its closest point to

wasn't it was bed you know much worse objectively than today but there was an expectation of the things were going to get better. of there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america was shaped by the turn principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduced democracy attack solidarity engineer elections manufacture consent and other principles according to no i'm jones one set of rules for the rich opposite set of rules for poor. that's what happens when you put her into the hands of a narrow sector of will switch will is dedicated to increasing power for chills just as you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america.
