u.s. says it's looking to build international consensus over the alleged oil tanker attacks in the gulf of oman and continues to blame iran without providing verifiable evidence we're back at washington's track record when it comes to convincing the global community about supposedly rogue states. on concert ministration postpones a controversial bill on extradition to china hundreds of thousands take to the streets in protest. and xeroxed in britain after watchdog rules gender stereotypes are harming society. the pandering to female narcissism in advertising is appalling and part of that is denigration of men don't want to see stereotyped

versions and visions of cleaning out chaps. good evening and welcome this is r.t. international. the u.s. and iran are stepping up the blame game over a suspected attack on to oil tankers in the gulf of oman washington's acting defense secretary claims america is simply trying to build agreement on what happened. i think as you can tell we have an international situation very noisy subscriber us situation and the focus for myself grass or board. secretary pompei o is to build international consensus to this international problem. earlier the u.s. presented a video which it claims shows the rains removing an unexploded mine from one of the vessels no one else in the region had they say the capacity to carry out such an

attack the tankers owner though says that his crew reported the vessel being hit by flying projectiles around brands american statements sabotage diplomacy and accuses the us of de stabilizing peace and security in the middle east. over the last 2 years the us has been implementing an aggressive approach violating international law and using its financial and military clout this poses a serious threat to the region and to global security. so iran is questioning the evidence the u.s. has presented to reports america does have a history of making false claims. event accusation more we've seen it so many times before is history about to repeat the us secretary of state mike compare who's 100 percent convinced iran's got blood or in this case burning oil all over its hands it is the assessment of the united states government that the islamic

republic of iran is responsible for the attacks that occurred in the gulf of oman today these unprovoked attacks present a clear threat to international peace and security a blame assault on the freedom of navigation and an acceptable campaign of escalating tension by iran but similar bold accusation claims have been made in the past and how have they worked out countries invaded have undeniably been led by controversial figures often dictators but the evidence supplied by the us has more often than not been somewhat lacking and let's not even mention weapons of mass destruction let's take a look at libya in 2011 more gadhafi equaled enemy number one secretary clinton was there to tell us the toughest security forces in other groups in the region are trying to divide the people by using violence against women and reap a stool so war and the united states condemns this in the strongest possible terms

the media swallowed it whole libya mastery claims using vi agri would be a horrific 1st us and boy gadhafi troops raping issued viagra for as a defense via group branded migs libyan mass rape allegations not exactly the conclusion of the un or even human rights groups come with your conclusion that there is a systematic policy of rape in my opinion we can't i know i said i wouldn't mention iraq so-called w m d's and i won't but i will talk about iraq because remember washington's going into battle against it twice this will not stand this aggression . against the way. in the 1900 george bush sr was ready to go to war after iraq's troops entered to kuwait not convinced of the need for action perhaps this will help there i saw the wreck you saw use come into the hospital that. it took the b.b.c. . to think you'd be children to die of

a cold. that was a young a kuwaiti girl speaking to the u.s. congress cue the headlines witnesses talk of iraqi atrocities the rape of a nation and some literal identity theft and q the war just one problem that girl was the daughter of the kuwaiti ambassador in the u.s. while the interview was organized by a p.r. firm later investigations once again concluded reality was far from the truth back to present day and a new holder of the america's most hated title by this whalen president nicolas maduro trump says his time's up you will find no safe far no wheezy exit and no way. you will is everything. the trumpet ministration accused murderer of torching aid trucks there were photos

to most dogs civilians killed by live rooms and the burning of trucks carrying badly needed food and medicine this is been response to peaceful efforts to help venezuelans countries that still brooke it lies madeira should take note of. and once again the media lapped it up a bit embarrassing when the new york times is later forced to admit it was in fact the opposition has been striking the matches so to go back to where we weaken iran still convinced by mr pompei is video perhaps the lesson to be learned investigation before action as opposed to the other way around. and it's incredible that america still plays this game of wanting to persuade because america needs the american people to go to war it doesn't need the international community what it means is for the people at home to think of killing for the greater good the iraqis have to believe what they're waging is other countries it's not for america's

because they want to be the saviors of the exceptional nation and this lie are all good works for america it's just a blast its moral standing in the war it's that all it's worth it's lost it's treasury now has lost its insanity and if people does sound up to america the world does not stand up to america then walk for the world because the world will change as we know it. following a series of mass protests hong kong's chief executive has postponed a controversial belong extradition. i now announce that the government has decided to suspend a legislative amendment exercise restart our communication with all sectors of society do more explanation work and listen to different views of society the bill if passed would allow beijing to suggest tradition of suspects from hong kong to

mainland china the final decision on whether to extradite or not would rest with hong kong's courts and its chief executive and supporters of the draft law so that it will prevent hong kong from becoming a refuge for criminals others fear it will erode hong kong special status within china critics claim it allows beijing to target political enemies and it's not just hong kong residents who are concerned as evangelists cips us explains. for days there hong kong has been gripped by protest over an extradition bill that would allow alleged fugitives to be extradited to mainland china as well as taiwan. the the the. did you notice the banners written in english or it doesn't seem the best way of getting the government's attention in beijing but american politicians are

receiving the message loud and clear the extradition bill imperils the strong u.s. hong kong relationship there has florrie's for 2 decades if it passes to congress has no choice but to reassess whether hong kong is sufficiently autonomous under the one country 2 systems framework the extradition law proposed by beijing loyalists in hong kong would allow political dissidents minorities and foreign travelers in hong kong to be spirited away to china secret police on the mainland the people of hong kong are assembling in the streets to resist this threat to their freedom and send a message to the chinese communist party we stand with the people of hong kong that peaceful demonstrations are a strong profound statement against the extrusion bill which undermines the rule of law and a secure business environment so from america's perspective extraditing suspects from hong kong to madeleine china seems to be awful but extraditing them to the

united states well it seems to be fine because the united states still has an extra extradition treaty with hong kong dating back to the territories time as a british colony and america is not only giving its moral support the us national and all meant for democracy has given vast sums to hong kong trade unions and rights groups driving this movement so why. behind all this generosity well the chinese state media has made it clear i don't think we're competitive media who for part of the protesting one can really run with beth or hung up the 123 the thing between hung and of the 10 men like americans in particular. to become my new campaign. so while the people of hong kong may have disputes with men lend china they're also finding themselves trapped in a power play between beijing and washington the u.s.

government is threatening at eve to be you will be passed if you change hong kong starters if that is the case your own homes status call the opening import towards the world the movement the true will is intensifying into a cold war it is an interest of the beauty of lot to people he is a it is going to escalate to be a whole war. to be conceived and out the window. as recognized by the united states. the report's concluding there was no collusion between team trump and russia in the 2016 us presidential election many thought the question have been put to bed however done to have been solved as rig knighted the issue suggesting that he would accept compromising information on political opponents from foreign sources without necessarily alerting the f.b.i. . to somebody that said we have information on your opponent oh let me call the

f.b.i. give me a break life as if. he's a traitor to the pillars of our democracy and that's what that interview shows it's a very sad and very sad thing that he does not know right from wrong is not is not interference in our elections it's illegal to take help from a foreign country in our elections it's illegal. course you have to look at it because if you don't look at it you're not going to know but instead but of course you'd give it to the f.b.i. or reported to the attorney general or somebody like that donald trump has done it again he's opened his mouth and made a comment that has the democrats screaming we've got it and this time it involves for any info and the f.b.i. now there certainly is growing evidence of foreign contacts during the 2016 elections but not from the truck campaign but rather from the campaign of hillary clinton d.n.c. contractor was in contact with ukrainian officials regarding paul man of ford and

his dealings in the country paul man afore it was the chief of donald trump's campaign at that time the ukrainian ambassador has confirmed that the clintons were digging up dirt the embassy got snow mr lupo because very engaging with ukrainian and other diasporas in washington d.c. and austin who d.n.c. capacity we've learned about the d.n.c. involvement later light is floated by alexandra were related to approaching a member of congress with the purpose to initiate hearings in pomona fooled let's get invests of journalists on prison portion crow question about mr manifolds during his public talk in washington d.c. according to some documents the obama white house was in on it as well reports show that meetings took place with the ukrainian anti corruption bureau in early 2016 when this is recalled that the u.s. department of justice was investigating ties between the ukrainian party of regions and folks in the united states they were sniffing around all manna for its contacts but they didn't bring. charges at the time it was definitely the case that led to

the charges against manifolds on the leak to the us media during the 2016 election now the leak was provided by that particular anti corruption bureau in ukraine about millions of dollars that paul metaphoric had allegedly received the key of district administrative court ruled that the national anti corruption group of ukraine direct broke the law when disclosing information about u.s. citizen will not afford these have the fact of interfering in the us election in 2016 and was detrimental to the interests of ukraine now whatever you think about foreign meddling this is got to raise eyebrows nothing in the bottom of the report came anywhere near this i think what the d.n.c. did with the ukraine is is. absolutely far 10 times beyond what anybody in the trump campaign did and if the standard is going to be seeking or even hearing information from foreign campaigns that that's going to be a criminal act the democrats are going to be in trouble way before the republicans

are going to be in trouble they are really trampling on the 1st amendment now trying to make it a crime to listen to information and i think that's a dangerous path and it is unbelievable the way the other side united states is not wanting to talk about all the collusion the solicited collusion on the democrat side they had operated operatives not only actively seeking foreign information on president trump then candidate trump they were paying for that information and i don't know why the left media in the united states has want to cover this it's it's shocking. the latest yellow vest demonstration underway rowing to cross from violent to the company is a rip to the authorities used against protesters. i

. have injuries have been reported is the 31st consecutive weekend of yellow vest demonstrations which began in november after people took to the streets over a hike in fuel taxes despite the government climbing down over that issue protest up continued and now people are demanding improve living conditions and for president to quit. burling claims its because its weapons exports by almost a quarter over the last year but there are fears they could surge again to germany boosted trade ties with the u.a.e. story after the break. you know world of big partisan lot and conspiracies it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than

ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back 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. crashing on the global markets so when that happens people buy gold nations bygone countries michael something banks might remind all the buy for gold that's making a new all time highs australian dollars almost dies on russian rubles almost their eyes and canadian dollars almost dies and so yeah all over the world it's creeping higher because of the trust being eroded.

by the german government says that the country cut its arms shipments by almost a quarter the ship in 2018 hole today exposed to certain states over their involvement in the yemen conflict among them the united arab emirates despite the u.a.e. claiming so only to ensure stability in the region the trade between germany and the u.a.e. has just received a boost prompting fears we knew dom cells could follow riff and expects. it was clearly a fruitful meeting but it's left a bitter taste in the mouth for some visible ration of german chancellor angela merkel and the crown prince of abu dhabi signed in their lean head $46.00 points and focused mainly on business ties between germany and the united arab emirates but the conversation apparently went far beyond that of the 2 of you but of course we talked about the conflict in yemen and i'm very happy between a green

a common explanation for the reason assessor to support the new treaty of process in the united nations with the u.n. special envoy of course they talked about yemen the united arab emirates is the 2nd key player in the devastating conflict there after saudi arabia and germany reportedly selling it weapons the reason why the warm welcome of the crown prince here in berlin made some opposition politicians fuming as deputy commander in chief of the u.s. armed forces he has access to enormous financial and military capacities which he and scrupulously uses to support autocratic rulers who oppose human rights in countries such as egypt and saddam which sheikh mohammad bin sayed received by merkel and steinmeier a man responsible for war crimes in yemen now concrete actions not just strong words are needed the work crimes of the u.a.e. must not be rewarded by german arms exports even though there were no arm deals

mentioned this time the bundestag opposition found out earlier 2 that the multi-billion euro partnership between germany and the united arab emirates doesn't include some deadly elements answering to a request by germany's left party the federal ministry for economic affairs confirmed yes german weaponry could go to the u.a.e. and no rules will be broken the party behind the request strongly disagrees we talked to its pollen entry day. who is also an m.p. the federal government violates the arms exports to the u.a.e. and the other countries participating in a war in yemen which is a violation of the political principles of the federal government for the export of war weapons and other armaments this document clearly stipulates delivery of weapons or arms components is not approved for countries involved in armed conflict or where there is

a threat we contacted the federal ministry of economic affairs for clarification but so far haven't received a response and while there is still no clear understanding of whether germany does sell or whether it should sell its weapons to the united arab emirates the public discussion goes on and on. last year angela merkel imposed an arms embargo on saudi arabia for its role in the yemen war this week she welcomed the u.a.e. prince mohammed bin zaid i'm pretty stunned from business links with the gulf country no mention of arms exports weapons are delivered to dubai the united arab emirates in fact there is no expert ban for weapons they're delivered to the military partners of saudi arabia people are dying anyway we need an e.u. wide expert ban germany which at different times has had various restrictions our rates are in trade with the united arab emirates over yemen claims there is no solid evidence that german made weapons are used in the conflict and therefore the

country's guidelines have not failed its embargo with saudi arabia is still in force and the general drop in germany is our experts proves that the country that stands for peace making moves in the right direction which probably means that the massive abu dhabi berlin trade with or without weapons is said to flourish i think it's a pair of prophesy. to be talking business would dictate who is at the same time shown the slaughtering civilians of the bombing hospitals and dodging children to death and in yemen merkel she is doing what's convenient and the pressure. from the united states from the. suppliers in germany is strong pressure you cannot deny that to a strong government it would stand up to that pressure and put the interest of the

german population 1st doesn't do that what she's doing is she's thinking about the 15 nearly 15000000000 in trade between the united arab emirates and germany she thinking about rowing the german arms and. the u.k. sabotaging watchdog has banned that reinforce gender stereotypes it argues that they are banned for society or evidence shows how harmful gender stereotypes in ads can contribute to inequality in society with costs for all of us put simply we found that some portrayals in ads can over time play a part in limiting people's potential new guidelines apply to all forms of advertising radio t.v. online and print now one of the times is will have to tread carefully when showing women for example doing the claiming all men struggling with household duties. but to go back now back to me now back to government now back to me sadly he isn't me.

than 3 times just if you miss. 3 times to greece. and you know that just might be the time to relax in a kitchen floor. ok sell your press the button do this thing go bang no it's. ok. we discussed this story with feminists campaign to linda bello leader of the justice for men and boys party might become a. this is of course just the advertising industry bowing down to radical feminism . the idea that there's some big problem here any well will you say that linda but only 9 percent of british women suffered and to far as feminists yet feminists

have huge influence over of it's got this going not to do it because all this gender stereotyping thing is just one of countless miss narratives lots of women who want to see equality and justice don't call themselves feminists i've got nothing to do with them it isn't actually has got to do with the low mike the no has says it's $975.00 sex discrimination that women should be treated no this favorably than men and therefore we don't want to see stereotyped visions and visions of us cleaning up after chaps from the moments that they leave school they leave full time education to retirement age women are far more likely than men to not work at all or to work part time and this is this is this has got nothing to do with this sort of you do have its eyes and it's got to do with gender differences in work ethic i want my son i want my grandson to be able to clean up after

themselves not just to think it's a woman's job now is that you might mike you might think that this is radical frankly this is the 21st century and that's what most of us want thanks stay with r.t. to national join me for updates at the top of the hour. so you say that brings this to the end of the series if we could just let josie marino walk away so we decided to treat up stuff goes to a very special farewell party because. we walk along an interesting path as a team but this time to go back to the punch line and thanks for putting on sister ruth body. with. the only thing that i didn't enjoy was my dancing quantize in moscow my dancing. on ice.

in. the. movie. well thankfully we nailed it literally there we go. in a world in which there are the americans that the chinese the indians the russians etc europeans can only really be a player at that global top table by standing united and we are already united on the economic front and we increasingly understand that we have to do so also on the defense front.

there were going underground hours after a publisher that the u.n. said has been tortured by the british government. julie innocence faced a u.s. extradition hearing that could see the wiki leaks founder sentenced to 175 years in prison coming up but if i knew liberalism 24 hours after the 2nd anniversary of the tower fire we speak to award winning author and physician dr. about the minds and bodies that lie in the wake of capitalist culture and donald trump never did it but icelanders former interior minister did we talk to the politician who threw out a planeload of robert bull as investigators when he suspected the f.b.i. of a conspiracy going up in today's going underground the 1st time revolutionary would have turned 91 yesterday of u.s. authorities had not conspired to kill him the iconic portrayed of him taken amidst

the cuban revolution continues to fly and flags around the world where there are those who fight imperialism the leader of britain's labor party jeremy corbyn was inspired by bush and his comrade in arms fidel castro castro has been such a huge figure in our lives i remember the news 959 the day that he marched into. marshall the earth and sierra maestra in the war there to bring about the cuban revolution i remember the cuban missile crisis and all the fear that was going on there but is donald trump forging a new crisis because while britain and the e.u. have relations with cuba the u.s. appears to continue to be afraid of 60 years of cuban independence jump administration is imposing new restrictions on u.s. travel to cuba in a statement the treasury department says that the u.s. would no longer allow group educational and cultural trips known as people to people travel the u.s. government will also deny permission for private and corporate travelers to enter the country but unlike cuba washington's de-facto proxy latin and central american

nations are known all around the world for drugs notably cocaine now featuring probably amidst the u.k.'s conservative contest to be britain's next prime minister joining me now is physicians an award winning author of in the realm of hungry ghosts close encounters with addiction doctor government thanks so much governor for coming. all the show so i don't go in london for the 2 year anniversary of this catastrophe grand failure speaking here and there's a mosque today downing street how how could a catastrophe like granville affect generations of people you know that have been in ground and all the other has been discovered about the government neglect the ignoring of warning signs just a sheer ignorance sheer disregard for the lives of ordinary people and that's compared to say the government reaction to a terrorist attack which is a bigger threat to the population when you look at what happens in britain an example legrand fall or say the number of people have died because of austerity over 130.
