moscow accuses washington of violating its international commitments to the us visas to several members of the russian delegation to the un general assembly. north korea china donald trump a real goal for the usual rivals in his address in a speech largely. on britain's highest court rules the prime minister broke the law by suspending the judge's decision means m.p.'s will convene
12:01 pm
again tomorrow to take on the looming. premier. of the world this is r.t.e. international a pleasure to have your company my name's union o'neill our top story the un general assembly is underway in new york but not everyone got their ringside seat russia's foreign ministry is furious that 10 members of its delegation were denied u.s. visas the kremlin called the move a provocation which warrants a tough response and joined me earlier in the studio to tell me what is nil. oh moskos absolutely furious because if you think about it that's a huge thing. constant in kasich prominent politician and the term man of the foreign affairs committee of the upper term for the russian parliament said he's
12:02 pm
not going to attend the un general assembly that is open these days in new york because of visa issues and he wasn't actually did knight american visa but what basically happened as far as we understand is that his application didn't go through and he was not to fight about that very very last moment and he failed to take american visa on time it doesn't sound like anything criminal he can still reapply but clearly there is no time enough. so he's going to miss the discussions he were planning to participate in and the thing is that he was not the only one to put in this unpleasant situation we know that at least 8 other members of the russian delegations i mean they arrived this morning in one of moscow airports with bags with tickets to new york with plans to participate in important debates and they expected their passports with american visas to be delivered to the airport from the u.s. embassy this is normal procedure but it never happened so this isn't the alchemy aspect of this health situation is that these people were not not to fight about
12:03 pm
what's going on and the only learned about that very last moment and the u.s. side says talks about some technical problems but constant calls the provocation this is absolutely unprecedented situation the little states of america does not have to determine who. to participate and who is not to participate. the united nations. will be responded to by the russians no doubt about it you can see is very angry it's not exactly clear what marriage is a constant because joe was talking about what we heard from russian president. spokesperson also that there will be response from the crowd when there is a furious reaction from the russian foreign ministry as well we know that the us deputy ambassador has been summoned to the foreign ministry here in moscow over
12:04 pm
some pleasant situation maybe we can expect some clarification later on and we heard from the foreign ministry spokesperson. i mean she described it as an example of huge disrespect from the americans let's take a listen documents that we handed over for process in earlier a couple of months before departure were returned to us with the word they have been handed in early it's an outrageous example of disrespect by the u.s. to u.n. members as well as an example of failure to fulfill obligation as the host country of the world are. a good thing is that we hear that. a lover of russia's foreign ministry who is leading the russian delegation that the u.n. general assembly is going to address this issue at his meeting with. his secretary of state maybe there will be some explanations. are there any other cases when when foreign delegations problems entering the u.s.
12:05 pm
oh yeah of course you have those thoughts for the 1st time and even during the 74th session we heard from teheran that several members of the rat in delegation were north american so we know that the iranian leader mr heinie and the foreign minister mr is going to attend general assembly there delegation is dramatically cut and if you are going to yeah but i mean if you think about it that's a huge thing because the u.n. general assembly is an annual event it's a huge platform and if you do a geisha is cut by have i mean of course your work is a fact and your expectations a lawyer and that doesn't sound fair. well global affairs ellis patrick henningsen believes washington is attempting to hinder the work of international organizations like you that this is just beyond diplomatic games and chess is something else the broader thing people need to look at here is that this
12:06 pm
administration the trumpet ministration is actively trying to undermine and dismantle multilateral institutions wherever they can find them and so you have unofficial sanctions and official sanctions those people on the lists of course are using that to maybe impede their ability to travel that includes diplomats but the un officially they can do this via bureaucratic red tape and games by using the state department as a kind of political instrument in this way to harass certain countries that the administration believes are perceived as being enemies of the united states and right at a very crucial time with between saudi arabia iran and we also have the kashmir crisis going on china and hong kong the i.n.f. treaty being abandoned we have syria right now an impasse and it live but potentially is such an important time all diplomats need to be in new york need to be attending all of these important meetings and for the u.s. to do this it really draws into question what the real agenda of this
12:07 pm
administration is in terms of its relationship with the world. russian deputy foreign minister sergei. spoken of the problems ordinary citizens are going through trying to get visas to the u.s. in an exclusive interview with our team which airs later today and also discuss the moscow and washington are facing in their relations. we have problems in areas that directly affect the interests of people from the main street in both places we're deprived of our consular presence as for instance the best ghost and we have a long huge rows for people waiting for him to use the u.s. consular missions here this is just an example and it goes across the board from such things further to for instance limitations for normal activities of embassies
12:08 pm
in both places further over to our economic cooperation and you know arms control and nonproliferation we're just stuck. now about 90 minutes ago the u.s. president was addressing the u.n. general assembly in new york in a wide ranging speech donald trump touched upon plenty including global trade the persian gulf crisis nuclear proliferation and protecting democracy but it was an address perhaps largely aimed at his home audience. is in new york and was listening in killable what were the key takeaways from the u.s. president's address. well this is the 3rd time that we've heard u.s. president donald trump address the u.n. general assembly at the headquarters in new york now this year he did really
12:09 pm
emphasize what has been a theme recurring in his u.n. addresses that being national sovereignty and favoring patriotism over globalism now he also seemed to emphasize that the way to protect the country sovereignty was to have democracy here's some of what trump said when speaking to the u.n. general assembly. if you want freedom take pride in your country. if you want democracy hold on to your sovereignty and if you want peace love your nation. now furthermore it's important to note that trump used the platform at the u.n. general assembly to criticize a number of countries around the world now he did talk about north korea and his negotiations and the potential seeing north korea as being full of untapped potential and he was seemed optimistic about negotiations however he singled out
12:10 pm
the islamic republic of iran for criticism he criticized china and said that it's violating the intellectual property rights of american corporations and he singled out 3 countries in latin america cuba nicaragua and venezuela taking specific aim at nicolas the president of venezuela and let's review what he said about venezuela . the dictator maduro is a cuban puppet protected by cuban bodyguards hiding from his own people. well cuba plunders venezuela's oil wealth to sustain its own corrupt communist rule. and now when trump launched his tirade against madeira it's important to note that the venezuelan envoy in the room stopped listening to the speech and began reading a book and that wasn't just any book it was a biography of simone bowl of our the liberator of south america the anti colonial
12:11 pm
hero for which the bowl of varian socialist movement that founded the current government of venezuela was named so it was a very very symbolic act on the part of that envoy and now many observers looked on from speech and heard him boast about his quote pro growth economic policies in the united states which he says are having a very good impact they heard him boast about the u.s. military budget they heard him talk about how the usa will never be a socialist country and they wondered if this speech was really aimed at the international body or whether or not this was the kind of speech trump would give at a campaign rally around the country and trump seems to be running for real. and so many people heard this speech and it seemed to almost be directed at the domestic u.s. audience much of the rhetoric rejecting globalism paling his crackdown on immigration criticizing what he called radical activists who you q.'s is being involved in human smuggling and protecting human smugglers a lot of this seemed to be u.s.
12:12 pm
directed rhetoric directed at voters in the key states i would trump needs to win if he's going to get reelected in 2020 however this was trump's 3rd u.n. speech many have also noticed that it was a little bit less bombastic and dramatic than his previous speeches despite the fact he directed a lot of criticism at a lot of different countries it seemed a little bit tamer calmer and less spontaneous so mixed reactions coming into trump's 3rd address to the united nations general assembly thanks for breaking all that done for us are to scale up and live in work. well among the range of topics donald trump touched upon during a speech in new york he did not let the escalating tensions between washington and tehran slip by the u.s. president condemned or really in leaders for a quote blood lust which he ses is isolating the country. all nations have a duty to. know responsible government should subsidize iran's
12:13 pm
bloodlust. as long as a runs menacing behavior continues sanctions will not be lifted they will be tightened. iran's leaders will have turned a proud nation into just another cautionary tale. of what happens when a ruling class abandons its people and embarks on a crusade for personal power. and riches. ok in a dramatic decision the u.k. supreme court has found that boris johnson although lawfully alf's the queen to suspend parliament last month we break that story after the break. the world is driven by
12:14 pm
12:15 pm
just approaching a quarter of an hour into the program welcome back britain's highest court dealt precedented legal defeat to the prime minister with judges unanimously ruling that boris johnson's decision to suspend parliament earlier this month was on law. the prime minister's advice to her majesty was unlawful void of no effect this means that the order in council to which lead was also a little full void and of no effect and should be quashed the probation was also void and of no effect parliament has not been roped element households of discontent from m.p.'s on the public the prime minister suspended
12:16 pm
parliament the beginning of september for 5 weeks it was widely seen as a move to prevent m.p.'s from scrutinizing his plan to exit the european union on october 31st with or without a deal a scottish court later ruled the move on law we're hearing the highest court in the land agrees it means parliament cannot sit again which it well according to the common speaker tomorrow morning boris johnson is returning early from the un saying he intends to carry on with brags that regardless. this is a vote it did we will respect we respect the judicial process i have to say i strongly disagree with what the justices who thought and i don't think that. it's right but the most appalling please we get a little brick sit on october 31st when i spoke to the head of the politics and international relations department of reading university in the u.k. mark shanahan he is of the view that boris johnson's mushin issues of being
12:17 pm
completely exposed. johnson is toast his political future is now firmly in the past what we had here was naked political thing ever since boris johnson became prime minister it's been less about issues such as breaks it and more about cementing his place in number 10 by calling the snap election and by getting it all done quickly before there could be any scrutiny or any accountability by pivoting away from issues and jumping on new ones and he has been caught out he played fast and loose with the law working absolutely at the margins and that's not going to play well with history it's in terms of that it makes it much much harder for him to make it happen by october the 31st potentially at all what the courts have done today is put the power back in the hands of parliaments taking away from the executive i mean this was a massive exercise in executive overreach and that might work in some countries but
12:18 pm
the u.k. has shown itself today through the rule rule of law that it doesn't want to be driven into the arms of autocracy. the teenage environmental activist granted berg deliberately an impassioned address to the un climate action summit on monday the swedish campaign a rebuke to world leaders as she sees it feeling to tackle the destruction of the bias here. you have stolen my dreams my childhood with your empty words and yet i'm one of the jocks ones. people are suffering people are dying. entire school systems are collapsing we are in the beginning of a mass extinction and what you can talk about is money and fame or tales of economic growth how did you i 6 some interesting footage here turned burger also
12:19 pm
a scale that donald trump when they almost crossed but the u.s. president paid 0 attention to the headline grabbing climate activist she then left the room accompanied by security guards as the president arrived at the u.n. headquarters for a separate meeting on religious freedom. of the young activists emotional speech at the un was praised by many with people describing her words as inspirational sympathizing with her anger against environmental destruction however the widespread supports has been somewhat soured by a wave of mockery the french education minister hit back to berg's attack on world leaders saying she should not create a generation of people the press that by climate change a member of germany's ruling c.d.u.
12:20 pm
party also claimed the teen is attempting to appeal to emotion without offering rational arguments well there's been plenty of less than warm words for the speech on social media to a columnist a care home or to list he believes the 16 year old is being exploited by money driven mom enjoyment team. we're joined live by. is german member of the european parliament good to see you can or many people prayed berg for what they see as a heartfelt and compelling speech but as we're also been seeing just before we spoke to a lot of criticism of her as well why are people not buying what she's selling a lot of people around the world. well i think it's true to say that many people are buying what she's saying
12:21 pm
a great many people are and you fuse to where tributes here which aren't quite compatible you've said heartfelt and compelling well her message may be delivered in heartfelt terms but to call it compelling is perhaps a touch. i'd like to be compelled by more specific scientific evidence and possible solutions so that's what you phone particularly object to bill in her dress. no i don't find it particularly objectionable i merely say that i'm not necessarily compelled by it it's not objectionable what is perhaps objectionable is the hysteria that is being created by the media
12:22 pm
in relation to every one of. appearances we have a very complex scientific problem before us here and there is scientists are more divided on the issue. of climate change and the reasons for it and we pay very little attention to a serious issue. valuation of the scientific evidence but instead of listening to a 16 year old as if she were the new author called of delfi some have claimed that mr berg is being exploited by people around her that she's being put under too much pressure your take on that summary. well i mean i don't know what her day to day life is like but she's certainly making a great many media appearances for
12:23 pm
a 16 year old 16 year olds normally still go to school and she's become a media star. with every media star there's 'd a whole host of people who are promoting. and who will be profiting from prominence in one way or the other i'm not sure they should be called exploitation but this. great his dear. is there a danger to the growing fun for whether you agree with her or not a run gratitude in berg that actually destructs from the problems that she is talking about woods. well in a sense that's what i've been trying to. elude toure i think what we need is a very serious evaluation of. the evidence. different
12:24 pm
opinions in relation to it and any kind of highly publicized media. appearance appearance is by anyone's voice in this context is i think likely to distract from this exercise we should be engaging and going to thanks very much for your time this hour we've been speaking to garner back german member of the european parliament pleasure to speak to you. of all the big stories this choose the news room just over there is put in the gather all the latest updates we'll bring them to you after some more great program stay close they start in. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the
12:25 pm
world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see if. you know world's big partners. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks. in 2040 you know bloody revolution to the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it to. no lawyer here i mean your list book video of me in the
12:26 pm
new bill is that i do split needle the former ukrainian president recalls the events of 2014. of those who took part in it invested over $5000000000.00 to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. this is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills a young girl in the street. what happens to her family and daughters in florida no mother and daughter is buried in a cemetery meaning this is with your head what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the police needed a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pin this on than him and what happens in court he
12:27 pm
be. shocked shocked as far as i feel. we don't know she'll just screw up all. the end of this trial unfortunately you 2 will still not know she'll just. the more i tried to understand venezuela the more i could see the signs of all solitary unism emerging on my continent as well. however what venezuela's critics didn't didn't do was compare human rights issues to those in other countries on the american continent. civil and political rights.
12:28 pm
have been violated in venezuela. but they're violated every day in colombia and they're violated every day in mexico and they are violated every day in brazil. what i call human rights. what i call active integration. you show enormous in the nation with regard to one country. and you keep quiet with regard to many other countries where the situation is many times worse. in brazil the police kill 14 people a day on average. the colombian army killed 10000 civilians between 20022010. that doesn't include hundreds of political activists assassinated every year by powell ability groups tolerated or even supported by the authorities.
12:29 pm
even in the usa the police killed almost a 1000 people in 2018. politicians in some of those countries have called for military intervention in venezuela to protect so they say its citizens. but we have troops all over the world that places a very very far away venezuela is not very far away and the people are suffering and they're dying we have many options for venezuela including a possible military option if necessary. i'm always careful when we talk about south and central america and the cia there's a lot of stories. we are very hopeful that there could be a transition of venezuelans i was just down in mexico city and in bogota week before last talking about this very issue trying to help them understand the things
12:30 pm
they might do so that they can get a better outcome for c.n.n. can now confirm the president trump asked a number of his top foreign policy advisers last summer about the possibility of invading venezuela. and now opposition needs are you on honda has declared himself the country's new president have you also the president of the united states for any military support in your struggle you got by as a way down on the market as he's going to and i would in terms of taking decisions that even though this is a dictatorship the little people want to advance with whatever pressure is now.
