in russia's far eastern city of central asian migrants fearing for their safety after the rape of a local woman is played. out. live from our international news center here in moscow this is our two year warm welcome to the program you know. our top story. concern is growing in western capitals over par and intention to sign up to china's belt and road initiative a bold one trillion dollar infrastructure project on twenty first century reimagining of the silk road president xi jinping is jew in italy this thursday to discuss the details of a possible deal with more. the bad boy or the godfather of

euro skepticism it's really it's once again tasking relations with the e.u. with rome now pushing to join trying this road and ballot initiative that's reportedly setting off alarm bells and am getting backs up in washington to. italy's a major global economy in 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 with 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 everything to calm 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 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 cutesie promos have been helped change americans' minds of our good. barry. after it's see they try nice leader is planning his next stop in paris but here the expectations of talks are not as promising then a question of on the banks of the sand war italian historian paulo bernard told us he believes roma should be free to pursue its interests and bolster ties with china

while i think peter is going to achieve that i mean when you go. back to a large part of me i mean that we. export that relation with the local of the middle states and. i think. you know. in the relations. we are stocking well now on the well now on the nature of the. chinese. and i think it's a positive thing. that . made you win the war. on the walk. and say.

ok plenty of the scotian about this next story american men are a partly less convinced that sexual harassment in the workplace is such a big issue as compared to twenty seventeen when the meet to movement started quoting to a new poll it's a gallup survey of it found that fifty three percent of men see workplace harassment a problem that's quite significantly from sixty six percent when they made to movement exploded after a series of sexual assault allegations against powerful men it does appear wherever people today are more aware of the issue of are all gallup suggested that the way this story has been covered in the media may have altered men's attitudes. 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 one seen other gay shins and the start of the meeting movement but they may have become somewhat desensitized to the

issue since then well we've seen new findings up for debate and it does appear to me to movement is still very much a polarizing topic 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 events 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 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 be 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 and actually the 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 a gradient in writing that you're not at all where idea really having a rational earthiness 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 congress that i'm good or bad and yes some women have made false out of it 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 the 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 have flared in the far eastern russian city of you could sculptor a central asian migrant was accused of kidnapping and raping a local woman many migrants are now an age for shelter and market stalls where they work were attacked. the. this is the reality for central asian immigrants in the far eastern russian city of you could see these coexisted with locals for years. peacefully but they say they no longer feel welcome so that i might not get that we should give usual but you must stand which normally 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 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 a guest 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 there we quicken 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 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 . for us hopefuls are already setting their campaign strategies for the twenty twenty presidential election they're using every means at their disposal to be voter friendly even revealing personal details like drug ticking. and you know it's most i have and i john de mayo i gave him i dated him. forty years ago i smoked marijuana and i made it my mom's not happy that i just did . it when i was a teenager i used drugs i drank when i was in the. experiment with marijuana or with the like of.

you we. know we need to make room for you know we're going to. have presidential candidates senators bragging about their pot to use what their kids who can't get a job because when i'm on the fence for doing things to the last two presidents there is a privilege to do break laws not to worry about it i'm just really glad that cory booker has come out and really laid it out how have seen it is for the other candidates including one sanders to be joking about marijuana while people are locked up still and having it on their record so they can't get jobs we have this thing we're taught in school that everybody in america is equal under the law and you're treated the same it's simply not true the marijuana charges can keep people from getting student loans you can actually murder somebody you go to jail do your

time and then get a student loan from the federal government to go to college but if you're on a drug charge you can't ever get a loan to go to college. with just over a week left until brags that the british pm is in brussels requesting more time we get stuck into that office. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic to follow the only closely i'm going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

because i love and 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's not twenty two trillion offshore and so there you battle of credit in the system shrunk the sum to a 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 that more offshore so they just keep trying to 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. hello again the british prime minister is back in brussels this time to convince so you leaders to approve an extension to the brakes a deadline on whedon's the trees in may formally requested

a three month delay to the ukase exit from the union pushing it back to the thirtieth of june last crossed like this to see a church in london nothing yet another pivotal day for braggs and also treason may on the clock continues to tick. of course you know now you know all eyes are on brussels today for this crunch breck's a delay summit where considering the way things stand now britain is on course to essentially leave the european union without a deal come next friday unless an alternative is found so we have to reset may and her e.u. leader counterparts getting together brussels throughout the day today to discuss what happens next indeed on wednesday we saw the british prime minister present her case for what she thinks is now best to move forward she suggested and asked for a three month extension to the bracks

a deadline that would last until june thirtieth she has pled not just with the european union but also with m.p.'s back home to still reconsider and support her on her deal. which is important is the parliament to dishes on the results of the referendum on the digital bricks it for the british people i sincerely hope we can do that with a deal i'm still working on the exploring the continent can agree a deal so that we can leave in the usually what matters is that we do so on the face of the british people. well despite the fact that this is a deal that has been voted down twice by m.p.'s at the house of. commons we have also seen the house speaker say voting again on the same deal doesn't make sense for a third time around unless something is dramatically different still it seems to reese of may and her colleagues at the european union are calling for support of this

deal we have heard today in brussels for now the dutch prime minister has spoken saying that first m.p.'s need to support the deal for any extension to take place to implementing it we have heard the french president also follow this line of thought saying let's see them support the deal then we'll consider an extension and if there is no support there is britain leaving without a deal. for renegotiation so if the deal is voted down there will be no deal. we have heard a similar position from the german leader she has said also that given taken all of that into the account they would still continue to work until the last minutes to try to have an orderly breck's it of course the european union council president has also said let's see approval from m.p.'s first so that now is the big question

whether or not first of all if e.u. leaders can find common ground because they all need to agree to an extension but if they do say we will give britain an extension only if m.p.'s support the deal that was negotiated between them and theresa may how and you know how exactly teresa mayes going to be able to get the deal through parliament is a huge huge question again given the big margins with which it was voted down previously now another problem is that there are european parliament elections taking place on may twenty third and a popular opinion there is the. that britain either needs to leave by then in order to avoid more confusion and chaos or partake but then partake for a reason and stick around for some time after that so that has also been an opinion that is being widely discussed in brussels today or principled position is to

allow some flexibility due to the idealism of the situation. but also the debate which would be also here now is. ensure that there is a legal clarity before the utopian elections of course is the twenty third of may. well there should be some more clarity in the hours to common whether or not there is common ground reached in brussels and we'll certainly be watching all of that very closely from here. thank you very much for bring us right up to date in london . while german politicians have lost tied up the u.s. some bustard to the country calling for him to be expelled it came after richard grinnell openly criticized. reduce its defense spending. nato members could be pledged to move towards not away from two percent by twenty twenty four

that the german government would even be considering reducing its already on acceptable commitments to minute she rigidness is open or some signal to germany's twenty eight nato allies mr grunow is a total fear over deployment over this because he is rather boring with his repeated gloams it broke ations mr grunow is coming transatlantic relations since mr grinnell took up his post as i'm busted in berlin he has and several occasions quite conspicuously into feet in the internal affairs of the federal republic of germany his behavior in the host countries anything but diplomatic and rather imminent sense of the governor of an empire well just another initial statement by the ambassador he was referring to a goal set of the 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 two gas pipeline project with russian

former u.s. diplomat jim jefferies thinks berlin is starting 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 when nikki haley left but that didn't happen so i think it would be very embarrassing for the administration who would draw him the problem is is that we now have an american ambassador who is throw on polish about it especially with demands about spending more money on nato and you can't have five g. from walk away and you must not be buying russian gas in 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 to. whole question of style but i think it's becoming clear that it's really more a question. with elections foster approaching in israel next

month being racking their brains to get the public's attention appears some may have gone too far and i've been controversial. for sure. she's a. democratic i think. thing that she shows. is what is the real thing that's happening here sky's the. sky. oh my god. she. looks up to.

the racist old hotness like. i don't have anymore won't want to say it's horrible too much too much it's just the it's violent and racist i don't think it's a joke it's very funny. it's not funny what's considered funny it's not funny. and a bit in the good one and i think the world is not like this and with. finding a solution a really good. think it's just. for future another influential thinker in the hot seat next the latest worlds apart with host starts in moments. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going

to do next that the ball different clubs on one hand it is logical to sit in a home field where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective i'm used to surprising and i saw one theory. i'm going to talk about football not the or else i just think i was going to go. by the way ways that that's like here. during the great depression which i'm old enough to remember there was and most of my family were unemployed working class there wasn't it was bed you know much worse objectively than today but there was an expectation that 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 on chomsky one set of rules for the rich opposite set of rules for . 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. with little make its manufacture consent to instant of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the famous

merry go round. we can all middle of the room see. them two worlds apart the american policy in iraq was never

a smashing success but apparently there is still a lot of room to make it worse the secretary of state's recent visit to the region all in the name of curtailing the arena influence was full of bold proclamations and quiet reversals what does the trump policy in iraq ultimately come down to 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 lee and mr gemma done for thank you very much for your time and sort of for bungling your name. so 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 if american diplomacy in the middle east but i think we need to start one week earlier with a speech that mike compared delivered at a conference in houston in which he's sad that russia invaded ukraine to get access to oil fields and that iran is pretty much doing the same in its own region

now on russia ukraine he's paid atlee wrong whatever motivates moscow's policy on the ukraine it's not or oil but what about iran east really after energy no it's not a question of energy i think it's much more about influence. iran wants to increase since your strategic and geopolitical reach in the region this is something that every country wants to do and the iranians want to strengthen their muscle and strengthen their reach and strengthen their influence and to use it in their power as part of a balance of power game against united states against israel and the saudis and at the same time i think the iranians want to increase their leverage in the region as a means of as part of a power play within iran because there's there are parts of the iranian political establishment who want to focus more in work iran has many domestic problems but there are those who want to focus on wars and this again iran's middle east strategy is part of the power of power play within domestic iranian politics and as

you pointed out many.
