north korea and the u.s. are set to resume nuclear talks in sweden with both sides testing ballistic weapons in the days leading up to the meeting. ecuador's president declares a state of emergency as the country is gripped by protests over soaring fuel prices . and jailed former brazilian that leader lula da silva speaks to r.t. about the crisis unfolding in peru where the president recently dissolved parliament. but you know i think protrude is see the same thing that has happened to the south american countries we keep seeing.

our broadcast live direct from our studios in moscow this is our team international i'm sean thomas from the glad hand with. our north korean negotiators have arrived in sweden to resume nuclear talks with the u.s. it comes just a few days after pyongyang said it had successfully tested a sea launched missile sparking condemnation from washington secretary had a call with japanese minister defense kono where they discussed north korea they both agree that the north korea tests are unnecessarily provocative and do not set the stage for diplomacy and that north korea should cease these tests well north korea says the missile is capable of being launched from a submarine some analysts are calling it the most significant test since the country began talks with washington last year and just a few hours later the u.s. fired an intercontinental ballistic missile over the pacific saying the test was for national security purposes are these give them up and 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 we'll be talking to him soon we'll see 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

aggressiveness so let's recap shall we this is the pug 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 concerns 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. . b.m.

is a jolly little kite bringing joy but if they do 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 the other countries do the opposite and so unfortunately we are left with these types of instances where very few people question the power military of the united states very few people question why the united states is testing the nuclear deterrent if you will . ecuador's president has declared a national emergency following

a wave of protests over the cancellation of fuel subsidies the move which came into effect on thursday is expected to cause the price of petrol and diesel to double now transport workers launched a nationwide strike in response with drivers blocking roads in major cities students also took to the streets in the capital quito and demonstrators clashed with riot police who fired tear gas and made hundreds of arrests despite the turmoil president has said there is no chance that the 40 year old subsidy scheme will be reinstated. that there is no possibility of changing those things related to the subsidies they were causing so much harm to the country they were distorting the economy but above all else allow for important national resources to fall into the wrong hands to try to ensure the safety of our citizens and avoid chaos i have declared a national state of emergency. or either i quit or has slashed state spending to meet the terms of an i.m.f. bailout worth 4.2. $1000000000.00 it now intends to reduce its deficit from

$3600000000.00 to under $1000000000.00 by 2020 analysts predicted that the economic restructuring will be a painful process for the country if the i.m.f. is given a credit to our country is under certain conditions on the. day they control the economy they're going to go down to the so the goal of i.m.f. what they are really following this try to open the economy up for a while though 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's the cost of this kind of rest the direction of the economy and either my government jangan district or open the markets we've basically as the main advice that i am of these given we're going to give to you loans 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 of 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 we because of the situation that's going to be there because he's basically that all the economies got it right now aren't staying with a latin america now the president of peru appointed the new cabinet on thursday and will prepare to govern without opposition into elections in january this comes after martin vickery took the dramatic step of dissolving parliament earlier in the week in order to break the impasse over his anti corruption drive. oh yes yes. well while the president's opponents have described the move as unconstitutional there has been a groundswell of popular support for him across the country since 2016 many leading officials including most of the country's living former presidents have been implicated in corruption leading to several convictions. saying the president is no

easy job to stress for a show responsibility for the entire country but being president of the room also adds joe you time the list looks like you've changed it said this. former vice president he defeated until he did the country. is facing him no i am temporarily assuming the presidency of the republic a response to the fact and 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 the this got himself elected he took over from federal public he resigned over corruption charges just out of a comfortable place in the government palace with a few with a brick through a bunk in a cell for 3 years get it was then on staff 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. his previous us up or young the old model. also arrested on allegations of money he is watching his property and freedom being taken away before we model it there was a long garcia it won't come as a surprise that he too was arrested on the same money on bring charges the only reason he escaped prison time is because he committed suicide before trial i 100

also enjoy this time in the us a bit before him already guess where he is in jail to 2031. we weren't joking when we said being perused presidency jinxed perhaps missed that this was made a wise decision resigning so quickly it's a safe. some analysts have drawn parallels between the crisis in peru and venezuela the opposition in caracas also rejected the dissolution of parliament and appointed its own interim president however unlike venezuela the u.s. embassy in peru chose to remain neutral we heard from a political analyst about why the 2 countries are being treated so very differently by washington. if we compare bin is clearly and we compare peru indeed i mean in this occasion the united states has decided to step back and see what will happen what is going to be the. 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 like a kind of a double a rule that's not very clear right you apply some criteria in the case of some countries have the different set of criteria to the situation or crisis in another country wage that shows probably a double more all brazil's former president lula da silva says the situation improved bears similarities to what happened in his own country he spoke to our team from the prison where he is serving a 12 year sentence. 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. 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 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 can invade any country kill any president somebody has to stop him and brazil conclude that. rock is in the grips of a new wave of deadly unrest that story much more after a short break prisoners are told you know. who will have a situation where little grandchildren or little children ask their great grandparents. is it proven that all these cars used to have people. if we go to break room.

in this community there are people who believe that it's ok. it's really hard there are no jobs and you see the kids that ask and as a parent. i can come up with arguments there's a lot of conflict in the game between the 2 most of the conflict i would say. has made. us want to know each other. each other is good business the state of california alone makes 6000000000 dollars a year of prison complex just to get some 20 a life where. you don't care. anything. really welcome back this is our to international live from moscow now iraqi

security forces opened fire on demonstrators in baghdad on friday during protests against corruption and the low living standards at least 65 people have been killed since the unrest broke out several days ago. clashes 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 fired tear gas and live rounds of protesters internet access has since been cut to most of the country and curfews imposed the turmoil as led to the country's opposition calling on the government to resign peace campaigner sami ramadani gave

us his views on the situation. 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 in the age from the patient of 2003. because the problems had become so deep the destruction was so all massive and the political elites 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. the british army has caused widespread confusion with a tweet it announced that black history month is now being expanded to include asian people and he sounds good taylor takes up the story and how it ties into global trends. there are some battles you can't when just ask the british army no i'm not talking about iraq or afghanistan even the fast 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 and the british army tell if you 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 and less these asians a black i don't want to see it to be honest there are 12 months in a year black history month took up one month of the 12 but they wanted to be black asian and minority ethnic moms 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 blankety blank history month why is that you can criticize the army for its lack of manners for the move a 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 shaw 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 the case in favor of their fellow black applicants despite having far better entrance schools and indeed multiple studies have shown that if the university 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 coolest conclusion the harvard has shown that its admissions program serves its compelling interest in diversity but assume racial categorizations are necessary to serve those interests 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 and 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 all the social awareness term means things like we're just for marketing this entire social awareness kind of you know progressive stuff should probably let the people who are actually experiencing racism probably let 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

they're what they're i think that by providing a lower standard for a certain race of people and 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 and absent 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 while aggravate and not that you've got to admit it's tough out there on the front line of political correctness. and beijing rallies are continuing in hong kong with thousands of people gathering to condemn the local authorities decision to ban face masks there and prior to protesters have frequently covered their faces since the movement started 4 months

ago officials say the masks encourage people to break the law the band comes after clashes turned ugly during the 70s. reverser celebrations of communist party rule in china. thing with china russia is helping the country build a warning system for missile attacks it was revealed by vladimir putin at an annual international affairs conference the discussion club currently underway in such a mission from a game that we are now hoping no chinese part moves 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 scientist joseph chang told us the arrangement could benefit both russia and china both sides understand there is a lot of company mentality into 2 countries in weapons development china

probably has more research money it can support research and development programs and russia certainly enjoys considerable cannot it go beyond digits you know off that technological superiority and abundance is on the part of russia it is in a position to make office 2 countries that and china and cooperation with china may yet. be used as a kind of mall that the united states will certainly be very unhappy about this but it is say to it what it can do 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. all right that does it for mel b. back to top the hour with more news this is art international to.

make or break the entire proposition our financial zation 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. wrong going to follow and that comes out of. the set of one among them.

a far left from 88 to high is not the high i might get. some of the salon months in front of the sun shone. full of so close to some of the new me a lot of those. and then the theater some when we did the board. 50.

below just. enough kalash to last him should ask for the last 70 and seeing and on monday for the match promotion commission. branching just shoot on disk in the. asian community. teach it mom. i know you are so set on the open much to me mama sister are.

gonna be in by north and so many people because i copied them is so boring that even such a bad copy is sending. i'm not feeling too good anybody until god didn't kill the find the next guy. who looked up live again in the human food ng done the invalid to feed the dog she even dumped the attempt. to deflect some move for the c.e.o. face to the deflection board after to say. that is a god given that i got up for many of her. and there's going to going to be a lot about that and the. fact that you can bet you've got people out there that's

a. long long long time a little on the bottom bishop and a spiritual life coach. and to a new person and to me what did gandhi a new normal gandhi. on the peace prize you know do you then go to mark you then they will join you. next kaiser's financial life they say leave the balance. to this is the central plank supported by the government good club or might say stuff to. 6 get back to the not just the comedy show where americans in america covering

american news are called foreign agents. and no i did not mean to dress like a phantom of the opera all right but they do keep me in a cage under the stage here though. all right donald trump sure do you impeached. but not for the idiot reasons our super idiot democrats want to impeach him ok and i'm going to give you the real reasons you should be impeached a 2nd but right now the democrats want to prosecute him for probably the only time in he's entire your entire existence he was trying to root out real corruption why is he doing it to benefit himself of course he was dead so i think asking whether a dog pissed on a fire hydrant to claim is territory or did he do it to. benefits society as a whole. so to give you a quick rundown joe biden and obama and our deep state helped create

a coup in the ukraine in 2014 in no small part by funding arming new your nazis believe it or not with the help of israel you would think israel might have some qualms about working with neo nazis but apparently because this is business. biden then gets his son a cushy $50000.00 a month board position on an energy company called bryza the top prosecutor in the ukraine viktor socan seen here. was then fired after joe biden threatened to withhold a $1000000000.00 loan guarantees if they didn't fire him last week i showed you a video of biden bragging about doing that but much of the mainstream media claims that the prosecutor had nothing to do with joe and hunter biden however a poor at the hill has revealed at the time shocking.
