evening and welcome this is r.t. and. hundreds of gathered in northern mexico for the 1st funerals of an american family brutally slaughtered by a drug cartel earlier this week it's since been revealed that they were killed by weapons that originated in the u.s. there's aunties caleb maupin reports there's little to restrict the flow of arms across the border. 9 americans dead 3 women and 6 children hit by mexican drug lords a 13 year old boy who walked 23 miles to get help for the others and now us politicians are willing to run through walls to serve up justice it seems this is the time for mexico with the help of the united states to wage war on the drug cartels and wipe them off the face of the earth we merely await a call from your great new president the mexican government can't protect americans inside of mexico but america may have to take matters into our own hands this is

only 50 miles away from our southern border we can certainly do american citizens inside of mexico if mexico mexico was not willing or able to do so is the senator suggesting that the united states standards. already is or perhaps even troops into sovereign mexico now the perpetrators of this heinous crime may be subject to a high profile murder trial but are we overlooking something this was a mormon family slaughtered with 223 remington rifles made in america over 200000 firearms are smuggled from the usa to mexico every year this comes at a horrific cost to society south of the border in 2018 alone the mexican police opened 30 $3000.00 different homicide investigations at a higher rate of homicide than conflict at syria mexican law makes it near impossible for civilians to legally purchase guns in fact there is only one store in mexico that actually sells firearms but yet the mexican drug cartels continue to

get their hands on high tech weaponry because this isn't the weapons that are right in the united states of america because they aren't in the united states and the cost for ordering them to mexico are the lowest so that that's very lucky or it there if the united states. or or they went to order it would be that in in the absence of arms or late some the structure on this no arms and also on the set of arms in concert or quick now or who are going to be by it's a he pockets in that sense the office of government accountability in the united states has documented that 70 percent of the weapons seized by the mexican police originated in the united states mexican leaders have long urged the usa to crack down on the flow of weapons into their country however attempts to do so so far

have failed for decades here's the thing mexico is certainly dangerous or at least that's the message that donald trump rang out pretty loudly on the campaign trail in 2016 nearly 180 for. illegal immigrants with criminal records ordered deported from our country are tonight roaming free to threaten peaceful citizens when mexico surges people do not sending their best to sending people that have lots of problems at their bringing those problems with us they're bringing drugs they're bringing crime drugs like heroin and cocaine are flowing over the mexican border into the united states however the gangs that are executing people resisting law enforcement and transporting those drugs are armed with guns that originally flowed in the opposite direction the united states has to you know with its diction problem with this problem of consumption not just like

focusing on the supply side of the things but also on that man and treating these as a public health issue would be a good idea to start with these also the sales of arms not just like benefiting those businesses that also benefit the economy of the united states and cooperate with next providing. information to do financially halogens in a more proper way and really participating in the money laundering strad. chinese take john to our way has seen a surge in global profits while also continuing to squeeze its u.s. rival pull out of the lucrative chinese market despite the u.s. government service to war but ban the company it alleges has close ties with the beijing government and intelligence agencies always c.e.o. remains confident about the company's future even without the u.s. . a warrior quite interesting care about the china u.s.

trade negotiations we won't be used as a bargaining chip we can survive very well without the us we don't control the equipment so we have no idea how they operate i don't even know who's monitoring my phone i don't know which country maybe america is easy dropping all my phone calls me back in may washington and it was way too a commerce department entity list meaning that the world's number 2 maker a smart phones would not be able to deal with american companies and this limited ways ability to source key parts in particular also the daughter of always found the remains under house arrest that's in canada and she fights extradition to the u.s. as washington accuses the company of violating sanctions on iran the u.s. also as countries around the world to boycott the 1st ever 5 g. network developments by the way always profits rose 25 percent to a record 8800000000 last year it also shipped $206000000.00 smartphones in $28.00 team sales up 45 percent this year well he's already passed the 200000000 phones

mark 2 months earlier than 2800 with the expected rollout of the super fast 5 g. network in china in the coming months while its position is expected to grow even further more than 30 countries have already signed 5 g. deals with the company. just pull all of the london capital group believes that as of now washington steps have been to what was advantage. the revenues that we're seeing reported now from while way were actually pre the u.s. ban in may so even though that ban was actually delayed until november all those products are a result of the whole ways free ability to deal with u.s. companies since then it's been more problematic for example always soon to release a phone that doesn't even have the official license android version so that is going to limit sales moving forward so what we could be looking at here is a is a peak moment in overseas shipments of its smart phones there's been a bit of a nationalistic spirit in china to. buy our way products and more specifically not

to buy u.s. products and apple has taken the brunt of that and we know that actually according to recent reports apple's market share has actually dropped significantly in apple is looking at some of its worst couple of quarters in a row here of sales in china that experience to date so. clearly not. quite what the u.s. intended there and certainly what apple would have liked but certainly seems to have been so far a benefit for weiwei. prism ikrima francis claimed the once robust nato alliance is in terminal decline he says it's becoming brained but his comments have been dismissed by other members of the book. france's president the french president used rather drastic words to express his views this is not how i see the state of corporation with nato i don't think that such a sweeping judgment is appropriate made to is in our interest it's all security

alliance obviously we have to take our destiny in our own hands but the transatlantic partnership is absolutely indispensable i agree with the chancellor merkel nato is strong. united states north america and europe we do more together than were done for decades and we have implemented the strongest reinforcement so collected a friend since the end of the cold war and while some nato members have reacted negatively to batons words russia says they won't get involved in the dispute and still upset find common ground with the alliance. which took us. drug myself into a discussion about the medical side of this issue if micro had felt that the diagnosis he made of nato was so evident he had every right to state it as for russia we'd like to establish an adequate dialogue with nato and once they to recovers we'll be right then. michael made the remarks in an interview with the economist magazine the french president also cast doubt on the reliability of

daters article 5 that requires member states to come to one another's defense if attacked he suggests terence has been undermined by washington's faltering commitment and said europe needs to assert itself as a geopolitical power. europe is now dealing for the 1st time with an american president who doesn't share our idea of the european project if we don't wake up there's a considerable risk in the long run we would disappear geopolitically or at least that we will no longer be in control of our own destiny i believe that very deeply . roger broke after jonathan fry believed that the french leader was the same or independent europe. president mccall seem to be concerned about in particular was both the disengagement of the united states under donald trump who has made it clear that he would like europe to look after itself militarily much more than is the case the president think it was a little premature in the sense to certainly call nato brain dead but it

does need to work out exactly what it's for these days it was founded 40 years ago in principle to oppose what was perceived at the time communist threat from the east but of course that's no longer the case and its operations have spread into other parts of the world but the does need really to be serious thinking about what is nato for. germany has been facing widespread demonstrations from its farmers as they disrupt transport routes using tractors to block traffic and this comes as industry feels that it's being unfairly blamed for climate change also having to bend to berlin's push towards carbon neutral auntie's aventura sips as has more. german farmers are furious but this is not a united front 2 camps are taking aim to the government over its environmental

rules for very different reasons although one corner thousands of farmers causing gridlock in several major cities over environmental measures which they say are crippling their life the biggest one in bonn hold to the german argue cultural ministry were a 10 kilometer convoy brought the city to a halt. a looming ban on the controversial weed killer and tighter controls on slurry and fertilizer are just some of the measures that farmers say will force them out of business germany's last 16 percent of its farms between the years of 2007 and 2017 a trend that the germans farmers association says is reflected across western europe

farmers see the had enough of being labelled as the bad guys in the growing climate change movement we are not satisfied with the agricultural policy which is being shaped it's a policy that is not based on facts what new requirements are being issued all the time at a rate we simply cannot keep up with we have no chance to adjust our farms in time if the wish list from different n.g.o.s is getting longer and we are getting fed up with the fact that we've being made responsible for every dead insects and so on up cheated them we are fed up with this pharma bashing campaign. we simply want to show that we're fed up with being scapegoated for everything is negative we are to blame for climate change or for air water pollution we can't go on like this. but on the other corner are the german farmers are choosing the government of failing the environment and putting them out of business if you want the federal government to rethink its climate goals rather than take further action to reduce c

o 2 emissions instead of roadblocks they try taking the legal route the 1st time the government had been taken to court for failing to protect the environment. it has become clear that climate protection is prosecutable we can end up in court that is how i see it i believe that we should move forward with a positive attitude and i think more action must be taken now. germany's plan was to cut 40 percent of greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 and compared with those in 1990 but it has fallen short it only reduced 31 percent but a court in berlin found that the targets were not legally binding on their turd the farmers are digging in on both sides we want to be perceived as people who produce healthy products in harmony with nature and not as the biggest destroyer of nature in germany that more needs to be done so the government recognizes that it must act

now they may be opposites over the impact and solutions of climate change but there's one thing that they do agree on that burleson is failing them both federal law suits us for our team. despite a history of animosity between north and south korea people in the south would side with north korea in the event of a conflict with japan that's the result of a survey by think tank and so almost half of those us said they would back pyongyang even though there was an option to stay neutral on the 50 percent said they'd side with tokyo there's all despite continuous warnings by western allies of the threat posed by north korea. north korea's to 6 test. of a nuclear device and its missile launches are a threat not only to the people of south korea but to the people all across our globe it has never been more important to be working closely together given the

shared threat of north korea north korea has conducted 10 missile tests this year 2 of them involved solid fuel missiles which the north can launch with less morning we saw soldiers preparing patriot missiles to shoot down incoming ballistic missiles from north korea the most immediate threat tonight from north korea is far more conventional they could fire on south korea. the survey also comes as relations between south korea and japan are seeing another low disputes resurfacing of a longstanding controversies back in 9010 japan turned career into its quality and fought hard against the independence movement back then japan controlled almost every aspect of life on the peninsula during the 2nd world war japan drew heavily on korea hundreds of thousands of koreans were forced to work in japan conditions were so bad it's estimated more than 60000 died as a result women from korea we used sex slaves by japanese soldiers many koreans believe the treaty signed between the countries in only 65 didn't amend the wrongs

that have been done human rights attorney erickson rock in place the budget plan and the u.s. often paint a dark picture of north-south relations to fit their own political agenda. these outside influences and in the united states for their own political purposes i think they exaggerate the desire of the north koreans to somehow south korea and i think that this will begin to bear out when these types of surveys and discussions take place and when the mood in ministrations finally i hope has the ability and the the guts frankly to do what they say they want to do and that is in. peace and in all the korean war with the north koreans and so i think parents will continue to say on the way

until the south koreans really put into. formalizing relations taking further serious steps toward peace. a new poll in the united states suggest that most people are feeling stress over the upcoming presidential elections in fact it worries people almost as much as terrorism or even climate change and the main concern is the media or parent lee blowing things out of proportion because of that only 40 percent of people say that they have now cut their news consumption. at the same time we're seeing democracy under threat we're seeing state actors try to meddle in us elections this is bad for democracy they want to disrupt our democracy they want to disrupt our our system they want to cause doubt in their our state its traditions and our and our leadership donald trump's circus has ruined our country and our country is all the rooms like nothing we have ever confronted before as a nation now we can binge watch the end of america with increased attention i think

that news media particularly in the united states has given. the political body i guess you'd say i don't think that that is that notable a certain level of stress around election time can prompt action everyone knows for sure there is going to be an election and elections absolutely have consequences no matter where you live and so if it prompts people to take action founding fathers of the united states would say that might be a good thing and that some stress that leads to action in terms of voting would be a good thing and so sometimes a little bit of stress around an election time that leads to action might be a productive thing. now according to the poll many americans feel the country's at its lowest points they report mixed feelings about the nation's future less than 4 didn't believe it's on an upward. is all to the good she says americans are now

beginning to understand the media is skewed in the way it presents information. there's definitely a disproportionate negative coverage of politics in the united states media there's no question of that i think the figure is the high and ninety's percentage of coverage in us media is negative and so that isn't surprising that that would leave some level of cynicism or negativity with the electorate and some level of stress absolutely and so you know the media does bear some responsibility on the way that they present the news a good news on that is that americans are very aware of this in ways they didn't used to be americans understand that the media is very skewed and that more than 90 percent of the media in the united states presents the negative side of it so americans kind of know to look for the positive and that's the good side that's the

good news if you will. united nations general assembly has voted overwhelmingly to america's economic embargo on cuba the snow lasted for nearly 30 years but us brazil and israel have voted no. president donald trump's government has begun escalating its aggression against cuba by a plain unconventional measures in order to prevent disappoint fuel to our country its goal beyond disrupting the economy is to damage a cuban family standards of living by yes it is time for the majority to be heard if you know actually demand the immediate and definitive and to the end the chronic and inhuman blockade against cuba it is time to put an end to double standards in international relations. like all nations we get to choose which countries we trade with this is our sovereign right so it is worrying that the international community

in the name of protecting sovereignty continues to challenge this right. of the resolution is not legally binding but it follows a trend of u.s. isolation from the international community here's a look at just this month on the 1st the general assembly again overwhelmingly approved a draft resolution the call for a middle east free of nuclear weapons the u.s. and israel voted against a couple of days later the organization voted on a draft resolution aimed at preventing an arms race in outer space the u.s. and israel so said no to that as well as on a draft resolution that called for prevention of militarization of space let's go and list them for you an officer francisco alone they told us what makes washington this way they're desperate the u.s. . you know what i call a crime of i mean. because we haven't built a new world order i mean they are all special. or on their own.

reality on their own. but. wars conflict disorder i mean not only the trial i mean for you and barack obama there was no new world order so you know after 4 you know. they snore word order i mean does it leave a book a main responsibility lives on the use. by u.s. pilots or reaffirm a constant. promise. us democrats have released 300 pages of testimony from the country's top diplomat in ukraine in its built a little aims that there was an improper quid pro quo arrangement with kiev he says the release of hundreds of millions of dollars with the financial aid was dependent upon ukraine launching a corruption investigation and potential political rival joe biden made to say it's crystal clear sign of president trump skilled this is

a deeply credible knowledgeable person and he belatedly realizes that there is a quid pro quo his testimony has been one of the most important for democrats who say it provides the clearest explanation for what president trump and its allies were demanding at the time this was all going down he texted are we now saying that security assistance a white house meeting are conditioned on investigations conditioned we talk about quid pro quo condition is a key word there that is what prosecutors call a head shot it is right on point. republicans push back against bill to his account they say that despite the a masochist claims he actually had no firsthand knowledge of the alleged arrangement. and as i understand from one of the maybe the article in the new york times giuliani was interested in getting some information on vice president biden he says he's got one client and he's useful to the client and then it's your inference that mr giuliani's goal would be the president's goal yes and your source is the new york times yes so do you have any other source that the president's goal

in making this week was was anything other than new york times i haven't talked to the president i have no other information from what the president was thinking the moneyed interests the george soros and other people can arrange for a diplomat like taylor to leave whatever position here had to get a very cushy lifestyle who knows what this guy has been promised who knows what his motivations actually may be but he's betrayed so far show horrible judgment coming out originally saying one thing there are many get on that paranoia on the street that he read something in the new york times even like the new york times reporting sadly annoys 20 years has become scurrilous there are numerous examples of new york times stories that were puffed up beyond all measure i mean this is really just beyond silly little also claims that discussions on financial aid to ukraine were delayed because the target ministration was distracted by attempts to buy greenland . but do you deduce from that that. the russians but all of these agencies that

support this camp gets a meeting with the president to discuss it it turns out mr chairman that those principles as we call them were on different trips at different times i think this was also both the time of the greenland question about purchasing greenland which to camp a lot of energy in the in a sea. that's disturbing for a whole different reason this just tells you how far out of the loop taylor actually was we could afford to do multiple things at the same time suggest with a straight face that the truck white house could not could not consider his in treaty because they were too busy figuring out how to buy agree where it is just to telegraph that this guy is you know as john mccain refer to people he's a whack a bird is this crazy that isn't just simply not the case. but ready for further talks on you clear disarmament but is waiting for the us to

respond to it since your suggestions for minister sergey lavrov made those comments at a key for the nonproliferation here in moscow when the 40 countries have been taking part of america despite being invited on his way for national explains. it seems that all the participants all the speakers i heard a good we on the importance of a sincere and productive dialogue between the states in order to find common ground but they all confirmed there is a lack of such discussion hand they disagree on who is to blame for that russia points at america saying that after we joined from the i.m.f. treaty after rejecting what my putin's offer to suspend deployment of missiles in europe with the new start treaty that expire is next february now in danger in following numerous violations of nonproliferation treaty america's behavior threatens global security here is set a goal of russia's foreign minister speaking about that. the problem surrounding

the nonproliferation is weapons of mass destruction require special dialogue and we are ready for it however when the main partner here in the united states doesn't give us a comprehensible reaction to anything we suggest it's hard to try and act alone we constantly remind the us of our numerous suggestions and they know it already as well as other leading countries some have been complaining that today's discussion is not quite balanced since official american representatives are not here although they have been invited and basically they have rejected this invitation so i talked about america's role with un high representative happy or not you have to take it for granted when they tell me that they still share the global objective of a new world free of nuclear weapons i have to take it for granted i think it's all very important and. you know. with the united states like very much like. contact with the rest of the p 5. china diplomat has

also taken part in today's hot debates and he was almost attacked with accusations that an important player when we speak about global security especially given that one of the biggest threats is coming from south asia rejects the dialogue with the u.s. china has never let me review china's never rejected the so-called meaningful dialogue with anybody in the u.s. to so much noise about having the strength natural negotiations but let me make it clear so far and. the u.s. has never told us what exactly they want to talk about in this trial that today's gathering here in moscow is a very good chance for participants to prepare for next year is meeting to make it more productive and more effective. it would signal to international pressure you company this evening stick around updates coming your way and often.

in my i phone or have a 1000 times the tape ability of the of the computers we had on board the space for at that time i mean it's ridiculous that in my back pocket i have much much more capability than we had before did the entire apollo program. greetings and salutations over the weekend thousands gathered on the banks of one of them india's most sacred waterways the human a river to pay respect to the rising sun the waters of human a river are meant to be holy to cleanse however what was once a place of peace is now covered in talk.
