glad you made putin tackles the global economy sanctions and relations with the u.s. as a top forum in russia. also ahead many gun spells to form a new government moves israel towards an unprecedented the general election in a year. plus a talk with the university by feminist artist is cancelled after she's accused of being transferred back we hear from the artist herself. it was ridiculous i mean i'm talking about it i don't believe i said things from the trans very big i mean we're not we're having a discussion based on no facts. hello

you're watching oxy international i'm rosana lockwood welcome to the program. we start with this the current state of the russian economy has been picked over to keep forum in russia vladimir putin gave the assessment at the event which also touched on the global economy and international relations with more details his maria from. widely reported has been uncertain questions from participants all the 11th annual russia calling investment for haiti mosco they say are the event gathered guests from 80 countries for almost 2 hours and i have to tell you not all of them were purely about money but a lot about politics i can say sions of russia medlin into well basically everybody is that paris and what is known commonly as russian rat on topics brought up the until now the us has been saying that it is an umbrella giving protection to europe from the soviet menace but you have to pay for this however nowadays it doesn't

work despite all the problems in ukraine speculations around crimea and everyone clearly understands that russia is not going to invade anyone it is nothing but nonsense it is a myth made up by those who are trying to gain benefits from their roles as vanguards fighting against russia they were together but it was a slow boost feingold you nobody accuses us of meddling in the u.s. election anymore now they accuse ukraine well ok it's their business but of course talking economy can hardly avoid discussing c.v. or economic sanctions the u.s. keeps imposing on russia and it's a facts on the global economy if we talk about sanctions and the perspectives of lifting them this is not so juicy here but it was the us administration about this it was the us congress which imposed them not us 1st of all it forced us to implement the substitution of imported goods in those sectors which are closely tied to our national interests and security is a very wide range of sectors agriculture medicine pharmaceuticals armaments and

we've reached a very good and positive results i see it as a boomerang effect many u.s. companies invested a lot of money in this or that project but then had to cancel them so they lost punish themselves and it seems that why report unsporting to view shared by many including global business and international financial media just recently forbes. oblation article calling russia bullet proof and claiming it's market is doing better than chinese or american surprisingly despite all the restrictions the magazine added that russia has over a $541000000000.00 u.s. dollars in foreign currency reserves and the largest gold reserves in one emerging markets with russian bonds becoming increasingly attractive pain considerably more interest than for example u.s. ones but all in all as the participants of this forum here in moscow agreed it wasn't just about how attractive russian economy is but it was an honest professional conversation on how to act together globally to make global market

balanced. well economists gonzalo can yes it believes foreign investors have key reasons to be interested in russian. with the terms of the sanctions used what they have done for the last year it was actually stimulate the russian economy to find other ways to the business of. basically what i believe they are doing the right now with my 3 voices for the last 1015 years is getting ready for any kind of new global financial crisis yet in the lead the russian balls are basically because if you go to europe and you try to invest your morning in bubbling there in europe you will see that they go out and they got the deal they got to basically means you are. in the morning and in the case of united states the ball is better than in europe but it's still very far from russia very narrow 6.4 percent. of investment on america's very less than 2 percent basically

a one of the results of. russia and high returns on the u.s. on. a stalemate continues to grip israeli politics the leader of the blue and white party benny gantz has failed to form a new government the winner of the september election informed the country's president and returned his mandate to hours before the midnight deadline or 2 months ago his party beat their rivals lee could headed by the incumbent prime minister benjamin netanyahu and as you can see with the results none of the 2 favorites gained enough seats for a parliamentary majority it meant dance was tasked with forming a coalition government however attempts to find a consensus between the 2 properties failed meringue previous efforts while dance refuses to cooperate with netanyahu claiming he's been in office for too long that is swamped in corruption the prime minister himself also has no intention of siding with his political rival in addition the main political king maker the former

defense minister avigdor lieberman rejects both of them instead he insists on a radical overhaul of the entire political system well israel has been trapped in the current political deadlock since the 1st general election in april now the country is likely to face an unprecedented 3rd election in a year we asked political analyst michelle barack how he sees the situation unfolding. we definitely are in unchartered waters so it's not clear what's going to be but there is now a period of waiting which is about $21.00 days where the president basically throws it to the knesset what's happening is it sounds easy ok if we don't have a government we're going for new elections no one in the country wants new elections the people are really fed up i mean all of our polling numbers are showing that people are really fed up with politicians of what the government so those in knesset have to know that there's a big risk to them that they may be voted out of the government because if they have to face new elections again it's possible that other parties will run and the

people will punish those same members of knesset and leaders of the parties that for 2 elections couldn't form a government. times between the u.s. and europe a stronger now than they were at the end of the cold war at least that's the opinion of nato secretary general yet stoltenberg who met on wednesday with u.s. secretary of state might pump a. need for remains the only country north america and europe sit together to meet together. and make decisions to go their own issues so great importance but we should say that but his words today are in stark contrast to those of the french president manuel mccrum who recently said the alliance is experiencing a gradual brain death eager standoff has the story. nato heavyweights are converging upon brussels and it's all smiles and pats on the back and a very very v.a.p. guest all the way from the united states the secretary of state might bump aoe

himself but behind this facade of handshakes and mutual joy hides a nasty in the block's fabric and that is between the believers in the alliance and heretics who dare question the relevance of the block and this whole aggravation it stems from right here from france when president emmanuel mccrone dared to assume dare to say that the bloke is experiencing and i quote brain death what we are currently experiencing is the brain death of mater only works if the guarantor of the last resort functions as such i'd argue that we should reassess the reality of what is in the light of the commitments of the united states and now since early november when that happened this jab is still hurting with the nato for instance secretary-general young stoltenberg has felt the urge on tuesday to comment on

those words and essentially he said that europe is defenseless without nato e.u. cannot defend europe well my friends words didn't sit well with other members of the block to for instance the us ambassador to nato she said that she strongly disagreed with them and she called the alliance essential i don't think europe would be se without a transatlantic don that we have the german foreign minister also talked about this and he said that nato had been europe's military insurance for the past 70 years and one polish member of the european parliament well he managed to find the only present russian trail behind micron's words in fact he stopped very short of calling the french president a russian puppet i think is very sense. still to russian pressure in any case in france this is a long tradition and this is only the latest in a whole spree of loyalty troubles faced by nato lately for instance even the

locomotive pulling it forward the united states has had its problems with the block donald trump for instance has criticized europe for being unwilling to pay a fair and due amounts for all the benefits europe is well apparently enjoying from its partnership with nato the most are also ensure that nato members meet their financial obligations we're spending 90 percent of their job with the piggy bank that they like to take from well i asked parisians where they stand when it comes to the relationship between europe and nato does europe need nato yeah i think so yeah before build up of defense. we have to speak up with the russian and to try to being the only europe a block efficient between the u.s. and china and russia has to start having its own weapons both political and economic to protect itself europe cannot defend itself without me being along we don't advance well with help we can move faster and stronger evidently the chasm

between opinions on whether or not nato needs europe and vice versa is as wide here in paris as it is within the bloc itself a mortgage donna reporting from paris. for the director of the crisis were search institute mark almond told us he believes there are a number of disagreements threatening nato's integrity. brought certain tensions between paris and berlin between paris and washington french say that they need to assert themselves and your views for such as a separate pillar of nato and not be too dependent on the americans but other countries like for instance germany that's often seen as a copartner axis with france running the e.u. is rather worried about this all of this brings out that there are deep divergence of interest was a deep chasm division within your about how you charge the major part to its east and so all of these things come together to make a very messy birthday party for

a major coming up in 2 weeks' time. the protests in bolivia are intensifying with demonstrators denouncing what they call a coup against the country's former leader abel morales he resigned 2 weeks ago on the advice of the country's military and was granted asylum in mexico meanwhile clashes with police centered around the capital the pats have left at least $31.00 days and hundreds injured supporters of rallies say security forces are being heavy handed. but. that was we want justice from this president how is she sent a military police to kill us like animals if we're human beings we're not animals for them to kill us like that. yet we come in i would like publicly to denounce the killings that the military police are carrying out this self declared president and her killer cabinet

ministers and criminals this is what the country's getting. is that we are unhappy with you need 9 years because she's issuing decrees authorizing the military and police to killers without there being any justice. conservative senator johnny 9 years has proclaimed herself interim president but without consensus in parliament she's also not recognized by politicians loyal to former president morales and on thursday she issued a controversial to creep protecting the military from criminal prosecution whilst maintaining public order. libyan security forces said helicopters an armored vehicles to disrupt a weeklong blockade by protesters at a major fuel plant 3 people were killed during the operation human rights groups are urging bolivia to repeal its new police immunity law. the current social political and human rights crisis and believe runs the risk of deteriorating is

authorities continue to respond in a violent manner to criticism protests media scrutiny and violence by 3rd parties while the u.s. secretary of state has commented on the rallies taking place across the globe but not on those in bolivia they might compare did praise johnny 9 years for expelling hundreds of cuban officials and doctors from the country down a quarter looks at washington starts a world protests from latin america to the middle east. lebanon's countrywide protests are rapid over a month ago. the united states looking to stand alongside the lebanese people the protesters are accusing government officials of widespread corruption and hold them to blame for failing to put the brakes on a deepening economic crisis washington's made it clear it thinks those are

injustices worth fighting against not too different from its stance on hong kong. insurrection began in june against a law that would have allowed extradition of hong kong as criminals to the mainland . chinese communist party must honor its promises to the hong kong people who only want the freedoms and liberties that they have been promised in the no british joint declaration over the past several months there have been thousands of injuries and arrests it's been a big challenge for beijing but for washington an opportunity the u.s. state department says the protesters are fighting for freedom and democracy just like the ones in iran. iranians flooded on to the streets on friday after a massive price hike for petrol. is one of the public must sees violence against its own people and the world watching the government

denounce those rioting and the people in washington who contributed to the crisis with crippling sanctions it might seem like the u.s. just loves to support chaos wherever it may be but sometimes the government accused of injustice is a friend take chile. monday marks one month since the beginning of nationwide protests against rampant economic inequality thousands of chileans rallied across the. one tree to commemorate that day i. i. i. so far 2 dozen people have been killed and thousands are arrested washington's reaction to travel warning bolivia is a pretty similar situation. the country's been gripped by protests in support of its recently ousted socialist president abel morales.

the state department hasn't had anything to say about that they instead back to the new regimes claim that cuba is somehow to blame for bolivia's problems live in a joint brazil in ecuador in recognizing the cuban threat to freedom bravo to libya and one protests were taking place against morales washington had something else to say the united states applauds the bolivian people for demanding freedom around the world protests continue to rage for the u.s. it's a great time to fuel the fire of popular anger if it's for the right reasons of course the united states can hold go good or in other parts of the world like the middle east the show you just left the united states is very much supportive of any put on

his things those who called upon to reach out and trying to destabilize the good will who come close to the they will do the stabilized course believe bit of their products to support and to overthrow. so. it will what it will want to have their people get through but overload now of bolivia well you know if it stays totally switches. begins to support the government. of all. efforts or which is supported by i don't believe that anybody who which was trained to the united states. tensions are rising in the persian gulf following the arrival of a u.s. aircraft carrier we'll have that story and more after this short break. efforts

to impeach and remove donald j. trump from the presidency have clearly divided the country this should not surprise anyone trump is probably the most divisive public figure of our time however all this division over a single person is changing him even damaging institutions is impeachment being normal. i have concern about new technologies and i think society should try to help them gauged in those concerns. but we also should have concerns about doing nothing doing nothing is extraordinarily risky you know world with some point 5000000000 people and a series of. ancient technologies that are not necessarily suitable for tomorrow.

the american aircraft carrier the u.s.s. abraham lincoln has sailed through the strategic straits of the homo's amid rising tensions between the u.s. and iran after spending 6 months nearby in the arabian sea the aircraft carrier strike group has now entered the persian gulf the area is a geopolitical hotspot as 20 percent of global oil production passes through the narrow strait the move which was confirmed by u.s. navy officials is the latest development in the deepening rift between washington and tehran donald trump also confirmed on tuesday the u.s. would be sending $3000.00 troops to its gulf allies saudi arabia citing hostile action by iran and its proxy forces in the region. the right amount of uranium

enrichment for the world's largest state sponsor of terror is 0 the world's watching. the people enjoy a better future when their government begins to respect basic human rights abandons its revolutionary. posture and its destabilizing foreign policy in the region and behave simply like a normal nation but. it is strange the united states and its officials who have committed the greatest of crimes by imposing much more pressure on the toughest sanctions on iran are communicating to the iranian people that they support these protests we don't expect anything else from mr discreet and he defends the much more pressure regime and no position of sanctions on iran. people will not be taken advantage of by outside economic pressure on the nation. all this all comes after a week of violent protests in iran over the government's decision to end fuel

subsidies which caused prices to jump by 50 percent tehran says washington's punishing sanctions regime had left it with no other choice political analyst shabbir razvi claims the us wants to turn iran into a battle state. the whole strategy of maximum pressure whether it's economic terrorism that is being inflicted on iran or 'd the might of american military in the gulf and the surrounding countries where u.s. troops are stationed but what is really important is that the usa has always wanted iran to be a vessel of state and says the advent of the revolution in iran in 1999 iran has been a huge challenge to the american jimminy in that region and not only in that region but far beyond what us talk about that iran needs to change his behavior

perhaps i think the u.s. leadership should look itself in the mirror and think that how they need to really change their. behavior as far as iran is concerned. the u.k. so oxford brookes university has cancelled a talk by feminist artist after its q plus society accused rachel of having transferred picture use rachel is a trans exclusionary radical feminist who frequently shares trans phobic discourse on her social media while the speaker may be invited under the pretense of academic freedom we firmly believe that inviting such speakers infringes upon academic freedom at oxford brookes i don't believe i'm trying to fight back i don't believe i said anything trying to transfer a bit. i mean we're having a discussion based on no facts and you know that's quite worrying and we should be

dealing with facts ok i mean you reinjure says to see what the definition of trans phobic is and why they're calling me trans phobic. and then we can start the discussion from there they're always going to talk about my work is fabulous i talk about the problems women have building big installations i'm especially because i do a lot with technology so i talk about women in stem and stuff like that i mean it was just purely talking about women in art yeah i mean so nothing radical a tool i mean the thing is with the l g b t q plus it's a very very divided organization you know there's a lot of tension between sort of wimmin trans people and gay people i mean it's very very divided and i think that's why one organization like the l.g.b. alliance has been set up to actually you know just so people who have the same issues around same sex attraction can meet together which. you know the trans people seem to have an issue with. well it's not the 1st time a campus has seen a roué over free speech their universities pretend the problem is minor research by

the policy exchange think tank states less than half of students nationwide back freedom of speech while they need to 5th no platforming controversial speakers artist rachel are again believes universities are there for open conversation not one sided events. honestly that was ridiculous i mean i'm talking about art and i'm talking about the way i may come out there's no infringement on academic freedom at all i do the honestly i it would be really interesting to see who the complainants are you know and i would suspect there's probably a few disenfranchised men who have fun with women talking about women making art or feminist issues having to you know universities are learning places there are places you discuss if someone disagrees with me then i want to find out why and we can learn from each other i mean what would be really interesting is the people who he put this treat out why are they hiding behind a sort of fake name why don't they come forward and we can have an open discussion you know because they could teach recently and maybe i could teach is about open discussion well that's your update for now don't forget you can get your news on
