yes. headline news north korea and the united states are set to resume stalled nuclear talks in sweden with both sides testing ballistic weapons in the days leading up to the meeting. president declares a state of emergency as the country's gripped by nationwide protests over soaring fuel prices we get reaction. and the attempts to end the turmoil triggered by his dissolution of parliament we speak to jailed former brazilian president lula da silva about the crisis and how it feeds into a broader regional trend. i think rudy is seeing the same thing happened to the south american countries we keep seeing.

this is r.t. from moscow it's friday evening at 7 here in the russian capital welcome to world news this hour 1st for you north korea negotiators have arrived in sweden to resume nuclear talks with the united states but it comes just a few days after pyongyang said it had successfully tested a new c launched a missile and a move that's caused alarm in western capitals. the secretary had a call was japanese minister of defense co know where they discussed north korea they both agree that the north korea tests are unnecessarily provocative do not set the stage for diplomacy in that north korea should cease these tests north korea says its missile is capable of being launched from a submarine which would represent a major advancement of its weapons capabilities some analysts are calling it the most significant test since the country entered into dialogue with washington in 2018 just a few hours later the u.s. carried out its own launch it fired an intercontinental ballistic missile over the

pacific saying the test was for national security purposes kellam open takes a closer look at the claim. north korea and the united states are headed back to the negotiating table this weekend says president trump we'll see they want to talk and we'll be talking to him who will say so we can all just relax and anticipate one step closer to world peace right well no a missile was launched on wednesday the u.s. state department burned with outrage we call on north korea to refrain from provocations abide by their obligations under un security council resolutions and remain in gauged in substantive and sustained negotiations to do their part to ensure peace and stability on the korean peninsula and as you do nuclear is ation now to prove their point about peace and stability the united states launched an intercontinental ballistic missile from the coast of california on the exact same day but they say it is not a provocative move according to the pentagon brass it's all about peace and

security this visible message of national security. and to sway potential aggressor so let's recap shall we this is the puck some 3 it's endangering the stability and peace of the entire region and this is the minuteman 3 i.c.b.m. it's just making the world a safer and happier place in august the united states once again conducted military drills in south korea rehearsing for an all out war against the north but they say it's nothing provocative about it simply a measure of security north korea didn't see it that way into korean contacts will be difficult unless the put an end to military exercise will give a plausible explanation in a sincere manner that is worth mentioning these drills were scaled down a bit compared to the ones done in the past we are working very hard to make sure that it is not perceived as provocative to go as far as to modify even the name of the exercise and to modify the scenario to take out all the offensive

characteristics it's all about perception if we do it it's understandable for security purposes think of the i.c.c. . b.m. is a jolly little kite bringing joy but if they view it it's a provocation putting the entire region into danger yes it's one sided attitudes like that that are sure to bring peace on earth they fired off an i.c.b.m. missile. you know like 4200 miles to the marshall islands this wasn't a small underground or underwater test so the u.s. is. wants to be able to behave one way as a military might with its military might around the world and other countries do the opposite and so unfortunately we are left with these types of instances where very few people question the power of the military of the united states very few people question why the united states is testing the nuclear deterrent if you will

. i could also president has declared a national emergency following a wave of violent protests over the authorities decision to end fuel subsidies the move which came into effect on thursday is expected to cause the price of petrol and diesel there to double workers in the transport sector launched a national strike in response with taxi bus and truck drivers blocking roads in major cities students and indigenous groups also join the protests helping to paralyze peru's transport networks in the capital quito demonstrators clashed with riot police who fired tear gas and made hundreds of arrests or despite the turmoil president marina has said there's no chance that the 40 year old subsidy scheme will be reinstated. really that there is no possibility of changing those things related to the perverse subsidies who are causing so much harm to the countries they were distorting the economy but above all else allow for important national resources to fall into the wrong. to try to ensure the safety of our citizens and

avoid chaos i have declared a national state of emergency and if you look at why is it done in the ecuadorian government scrapped those fuel subsidies in order to meet targets agreed with the international monetary fund as part of a bailout deal signed in march i could all agree to slash public spending it now intends to reduce its deficit from $3600000000.00 to under $1000000000.00 by 2020 economist gonzalo can yet they told me that the economic restructuring will be a painful process for the country. then the i.m.f. is giving a credit to a country is under certain conditions on the. day they control the economy and they're going to go home he says of the country so the goal of i.m.f. what they are really following this trade to open the economy affect whether just to make the. ecuadorian people in the future but not get access to a different kind of private services that. they don't have it at the moment but the thing is what is the cost of this kind of breast ration of the economy and either

my government is changing district or open their markets we basically is the main advice that i am of the given we're going to give to you launch we're going to give you credit but only under certain conditions then they're doing that we know they're going to see inflation we know they've been increasing employment rate at the moment but in theory yes in theory they're whether in the future going to be an economy similar like the us economy or mexican economy let's say but obviously with the high like i say with the cost of this region that's going to be there because he's basically that part of it that all the economies got it right now. if turbulence elsewhere in latin america peru's president appointed a new cabinet on thursday will prepare to govern without opposition until elections this coming january it comes after martin of its current took the dramatic step of dissolving parliament earlier in the week in order to break the impasse over his anticorruption drive. yes yes.

while the president's opponents have described the move as unconstitutional there's been a groundswell of popular support for the president across the country since $26.00 day many leading officials including most of the country's living former presidents have been implicated in corruption leading to a spate of convictions and frustration among peruvians. saying the president is no easy job to stress for a show responsibility for the entire country but being president of the room and so i'm sure you time this looks like you've changed it said this. in the vice presidency defeated and still ahead of the country. is facing in the i am temporarily assuming the presidency of the republic a response to the fact that in president his car has failed but just hours off to be sworn in he resigns i have decided to resign from the position of constitutional vice president of the republic the reasons are explaining in the attach letter i

hope that my resignation will lead to the convening and general elections in the surest term of the country. that's up to the current president. dissolved congress which plunged the country into a political crisis massive protests and his resignation from the nazis this week interesting week this got himself elected he took over from federal public he resigned over corruption charges just out of a concert in the government hollis with you. a brick from a bunk in a cell for 3 years it was then in seattle we want to denounce in the name of our family the injustice that has been committed against our father. has been given 3 years of preventive imprisonment. guess what his previous this or young that milo was also arrested on allegations of money on drugs here he is watching his property

and freedom being taken away before him up there was a long garcia it won't come as a surprise that he too was arrested on the same money laundering charges the only reason he escaped prison time is because he committed suicide before trial and the $100.00 don't also enjoy this time in the us a bit before him already guess where he is in jail to 2031. we were joking when we said being perused presidency jinxed perhaps missed that this was made a wise decision resigning so quickly it's a safe. but some analysts have drawn parallels between the crisis and peru and the situation and venezuela the opposition there also rejected the dissolution of parliament and appointed its own interim president however unlike venezuela the u.s. embassy in peru chose to remain somewhat neutral a political analyst we spoke to says that despite the similarities between the

situations in peru and venezuela that treated very differently by washington. if we compare bin is clearly and we compare peru indeed i mean in this occasion the united states had decided to step back and see what will happen what is going to be. a role of the united states if they would be ally doing exactly the same as they have done before you know you would have expected or as we say they would support if they would be more like you know inclined to do the same things and to be more coherent in their in their political stances the united states has played kind of a double a rule that's not very clear right you apply some criteria. because some countries have the not different set of criteria to this the 2 asian or prices in another country wage that shows probably a double more all when another reaction we've been hearing to the peruvian crisis

artie's spanish channel has spoken to jailed former brazilian president lula da silva. you know i think peru is seeing the same thing that has happened to other south american countries we keep seeing new ways of staging a coup. for fear no one has to accept foreign interference in the affairs of a sovereign state i do not support american brazilian colombian or any other interference their attempts to control another country by promoting their own candidates by creating a fake figurehead like one guy joe i'm totally against this there are situations that a democratic country has to deal with on its own. you brazil is

a very big country it can be fully sovereign and it could become one of the main actors on international policy i admire the role that president putin plays in the modern world it shows that the world cannot be held hostage to u.s. policy to trump's craziness the craziness of a u.s. president who believes that he could invade any country kill any president somebody has to stop him and brazil can do that. this is our international live news this is hong kong right now more disruption and vandalism on the straights this is in the wake of the leader of hong kong announcing a ban on face masks among protesters in the 4 months of activism that's been taking place on the island against the government in beijing and carol lam has not ruled out taking half of measures against the us and protests it's our next story when we come back.

with manufacture consent instant of public wealth. when the ruling class is project themselves. in the final merry go round lives only the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. who will never situation. grandchildren are living children ask their free grandparents. is it true that. these cars used to have people driving in

the break room. that's what we used to. allow again this is artsy international next to hong kong this is the say there right now more burning barricades is just up to 50 minutes after midnight on saturday in hong kong and more protests continuing to turn violent it's 4 months of protests in the island there and the big standoff now comes after the leader of hong kong announced a crackdown on the protests which showed no sign of abating the latest being that

a ban on wearing face masks among protesters likely to come into force also caroline has not ruled out maybe bringing in. curfews or other measures to try and get. the protests which aren't without their critics in hong kong and also police groups have been suggesting that they need more powers in order to deal with increasingly fractious protests in hong kong. appears to have been covering their faces frequently while taking part in demonstrations against the government in beijing partly in response to tear gas being used but also partly to do with masking their identities as far as the authorities are concerned they suggest that the widespread use of face masks allows for the violence to increase because people there feel that they could escape prosecution or be in court for the less afraid of any repercussions the emergency low comes after clashes to particularly ugly during the 70th anniversary celebrations of communist party world.

except the british army is called defense among members of one of the minority groups that it's been trying hard to woo into its ranks it tweeted the black history month is now being expanded to include asian people to. takes up the story . there are some battles you can't when you just ask the british army no i'm not talking about iraq or afghanistan even the fuss the war i'm talking about the fight to win over the hearts and minds of each and every citizen of us old blighty black history month has kicked off in the u.k. this week in the british army to tell they keep its finger on the pulse has dedicated the next 30 days not just to black people but to all the asians who have served in its ranks still haven't got over that guilt that we missed a trick here we didn't explain that black history month has expanded to include the history of asian people and their contribution to hence our recognition of our

historic partnership with the indian army but in the minefield of political hypersensitivity the initiative might just be a flop it's been slammed by the very communities it was supposed to ingratiate herself with unless these asians a black i don't want to see it to be honest there are 12 months in a year black history month to go one month of the 12 but they wanted to be black asian and minority ethnic mums w.t.f. pick another months and make that asian history month i'm sure a lot of asians will appreciate it come on don't be stupid it's bloody black history month why is that you can criticize the army for its lack of manners for the move very thought point for the british so thank goodness for the good old delete button because the tweet in question was removed not before had fired up the haters of course and even the odd lonely voice of support. the contribution of sikh

hindu and muslim communities can't be ignored if they consider themselves politically than they are i can't even pretend to know what politically black is but i can tell you what black history month is initiated violence across the pond the us decided to give up a month every year you know to repent for all those centuries of slavery and segregation and it's part of a growing trend of affirmative action that might just be backfiring take while famous harvard university for example turns out it's got racial quotas twin show a diverse community something that didn't go down too well with a group of asian americans who filed a lawsuit saying they were based here lies to gauge in favor of their fellow black applicants despite having far better entrance schools and indeed multiple studies have shown that if the universe to based its admissions process just on academic factors what a bizarre notion asians make up over 40 percent of harvard's classes that's more

than twice its current figures. the courts conclusion the harvard has shown that it submissions program serves its compelling interest in diversity but assume racial categorizations are necessary to serve the interest and while the court might have backed hard at this time it's opened a can of worms an increasingly divisive issue affirmative action lifeline that its heyday is over so there's a huge amount of marketing executives of only sort of social media advisers you know in places like the british army if you're completely detached from reality. and that sort of started to use only social awareness campaigns things like work history month just for marketing and this entire social awareness kind of you know progressive stuff should probably let the people who are actually experiencing racism probably left to look older people who are actually out there on the streets variance in these things rather than you know. who are sort of defining and sort of deciding their. i think that by providing a lower standard for

a certain race of people in a higher standard for a different race of people certainly 1st of all creates a lot of conflict between different races of people that would not have existed otherwise but i think it also demotivates. certain people you know who probably would have been more motivated to go out and do so based off of their hard work an absolute which now they're not being rewarded for and i think that it provides unfair advantages soon we're going to run out of months and seeing any action one takes to place one minority waggle faith and not that you've got to admit it's tough out there on the front line of political correctness. russia's helping china build a warning system for missile attacks it was revealed by president putin at the annual international affairs conference the valdai discussion club that's currently underway in southern russia. from a game that we are now hoping no chinese partners to develop

a missile attack warning system is a very serious thing that will rather clean hands china's defense capabilities because at the moment only the united states and russia have such a system political scientists out of chiang outlined to me the ways in which he believes the arrangement will benefit both china and russia. both sides understand there is a lot of companies and territory the $202.00 countries in weapons development china probably has more research money it can support research and development programs and russia certainly enjoys considerable genuine article one digits you can view of the technological superiority and abundance is on the part of russia it is in a position to make offers to countries are good and china and cooperation with china may get. maybe used as a kind of model the united states will certainly be very unhappy about this but it

is a limit to what it can do all after all of the united states is so has the united gaging joint but because development of countries like japan and india and so on. iraq has seen more deadly unrest as popular protests against corruption and low living standards continue for a 4th consecutive day security forces opened fire on demonstrators in baghdad on friday bringing the number of those killed in this week's turmoil to $44.00 the violence comes to spike calls for calm from the prime minister and assurances the protesters grievances were being listened to.

clashes 1st erupted on tuesday when the army stepped in to defend the heavily fortified green zone in baghdad where government offices and foreign consulates are located police deployed tear gas rubber bullets and life fire against the protesters internet access it's since been cut off to most of the country and curfews are being imposed iraqi peace campaigner sami ramadani thinks the country's problems are deeply ingrained in some mountable. sadly i don't think the country is going to overcome these enormous problems caused by the invasion and occupation of iraq the us that invasion occupation of 2003. because the problems have become so deep the destruction was so well massive and the political elites the us installed in iraq where almost all

very corrupt and this has added to the problem of trying to recover from that destructive occupation that is the problem with the with iraq that the problems are so deep and there are so many corrupt senior politicians it's very difficult to implement a lot of the demands of the people things like eliminating corruption getting rid of massive unemployment among young people housing problems poverty problems ok that's it from a thanks for watching you know nail has you covered in the coming hours he'll be here to update you off the boom bust. senator chuck schumer famously said shortly after trump was elected to take on the intelligence community they have 6 ways from sunday at getting back to you in light

of the failed russia gate hoax and this nonsense with ukraine this characterization appears to be spot on should be all fear the deep state to. make or break the entire proposition financialization newt because without a baseline to value risk and to value time you have no basis to value this financial eyes post industrial economy whatsoever it's all basically a guessing game. in $24.00 to you know bloody revolution to correct the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it still with. book to do with the. split needle the former ukrainian president recalls the events of $24.00 g.

the men to protect me in the street you managed to catch up with author and economist to get his take on the international slump and what we can expect on the horizon was the european central bank is back out of the microscope in the make wake of its major rate cut and now the central bank is feeling some heat within the e.u. the way forward for the birth american business association is standing by to take us through the turbulence across the atlantic so much use so little time let's go. the u.s. equity markets dropped after the release of disappointing economic data adding to fears over the health of the global economy but it turns out that the old mantra good news is bad news once again holds true stocks got a panic bid up as the odds of an imminent rate soared above 90 percent now all 3 major u.s. indexes turn around from early market plunge to claw back to flat earlier this week i posted its weakest readings on the manufacturing sector in more than 10 years

this weakness raise concerns over the china u.s. trade wars impact on the economy expectations though were hopeful for a bounce in the eyes and services data out today in order to save the market but today the i sense that his readings on the u.s. services sector fell last month to its lowest level since august of 2016 coming in at $52.00 expectations of $55.00 service oriented companies employ the vast majority of americans and registered the weakest growth in september in 3 years business production new orders grew more slowly and employment levels were essentially flat so between the 2 numbers now the parent surveys clearly point to a sharp loss in momentum the services side is much larger than manufacturing accounting for about. 80 percent of the u.s. economy manufacturing only makes up roughly 20 percent so many analysts came out and they didn't place too much emphasis on the manufacturing numbers earlier this week and they were overly dismissive of the week they said that the market shouldn't panic yet manufacturing doesn't amount to much and services matters more

and that's actually still expanding as the reading came in above 50 percent so it sounds like we're at a pretty good place but let's get something straight here that simply and g.d.p. are not the same thing so let's remove the optimism bias and break it down while 86 percent of jobs are in the services economy manufacturing makes up a considerable majority of the s. and p. earnings 68 percent of the s. and p. compared to only 32 percent in services this means that corporate profits are more manufacturing driven and previously it was a strength of the u.s. manufacturing economy that has been supporting our positive industrial sector views for the past decade they've got a huge tailwind from the u.s. energy renaissance that has brought greater access to cheaper energy sources and demand structure the other big component that drives corporate profits is international trade while international trade only accounts for 10 percent of g.d.p. it is estimated that 40 to 50 percent of as m.p. .
