expounds to german diplomats in america response to. russia could be put on the u.s. list of state sponsors of terrorism under a new bill making its way through congress. chinese restaurant in new york opened by a white woman shut down after months and the backlash over cultural appropriation once again this is a busybody annoying white liberal preoccupation you think they have to police the world and stand up for all the poor suffering minorities out there was. just a few stereotypes. time magazine's person of the year in 2019 is correct

if we take a closer look at the 16 year olds climate change on service to some see as a hero and inspiration while others. they're hypocrites. very well welcome you're watching r t international with me and we start this hour with breaking news russia has expelled 2 german diplomats it comes in response to a similar me and amid a spat over a murder probe let's get more on this now and go live to our 1st on the donald quarter so don can you tell us what happened and why. the russian foreign minister has given the diplomats and question 7 days to leave the country in a tit for tat response to the german government's decision when they themselves decided to expel 2 russian diplomats. the german in boston has received a note of protest over the ground as decision to expel 2 russian diplomats from

berlin as a mere response to german diplomats must leave russia within the next 7 days now it was just last week that the german government made this decision to expel 2 russian diplomats for the cut from the country and the official report said that russia was not being active enough in cooperating within vesta geisha in to the murder of a georgian national named still in can congress feeley now the german prosecutors even say that russia moscow may have ordered the murder itself but russia denies these claims and even warned that there would be a mere response the federal foreign office today declared to employees of the russian embassy in berlin to be persona non-grata with this step the federal government reacts the to the russian authorities despite repeated high level and in fact it requests to no sufficiently participate in the investigation of the murder of tony k.k. in berlin zoo new it's incorrect to expel 2 russian diplomats who had nothing to do

the murder of mr reciprocal measures which is you will notice there are unwritten rules in there who expose our diplomats we expel ules that's that initial deployment now president putin has said that russia has asked for the extradition of congress really many times which the german government is now saying never happened but to bring our viewers up to speed to congress really was killed back in august and the media immediately blamed russia for this he was living in germany since 2017 and had connections not only had ties to chechen terrorists but also fought against russia in the 2nd chechen war so it's not hard to imagine why the russian government would be interested in arresting him on charges of terrorism. the man who was killed in berlin was not your average georgian he was a militant it was on behalf of the asian separatists he was on russia's wanted list

he was a very cruel man killed 19 people at the news one of the organizers of bombings in the moscow metro there and what happened it's criminal anything can happen. so again moscow has always expressed its willingness to cooperate in this investigation but the initial expulsion of russian diplomats on germany's part doesn't exactly mark good faith from berlin. don thank you for bringing us up to speed on the latest that artie's donald quarter. moving on a u.s. senate committee has approved a bill to direct in the country secretary of state to determine whether russia is a sponsor of terrorism if passed the state department will have 90 days to report back to congress the senator who tabled the bill is convinced russia that terrorism ludden reported continues to try to cause grievous harm to international peace and stability and i am pleased the senate foreign relations committee advanced my

critical legislation directing the state department to consider naming russia what they are a state sponsor of terror the proposed legislation will now have to pass the house and the senate before being signed by the president that just a week ago the state department said that russia is not a state terrorist that looks at the absurdity of as absurdity of this suggestion. state sponsored terrorism is a special designation under u.s. law in which a country is subject to specific sanctions and treatment by the united states for allegedly supporting terrorism now the countries that currently have this label are iran north korea syria and sudan cuba had this label until u.s. president barack obama lifted that label against cuba as part of negotiations that took place during his presidency now the allegation seems to be that russia supports terrorism and is worthy of this state department designation however we've heard testimony from members of the u.s.

state department making clear that russia does not support terrorists the state department has not at this stage determined russia's a state sponsor of terrorism there's a fairly complex deliberative process for doing that and i don't personally see the person as state sponsorship of terrorism terrorist attacks we also have to recognize russia itself has been a victim of terrorism to make it safe to say that on the record as well now russia has long battled against jihadism extremists that have carried out terrorist attacks against the russian people the russian government has also cooperated with the u.s. government in antiterrorism efforts the advancing of this bill comes in the immediate aftermath of the very important meeting between russian foreign minister sergei lavrov and u.s. president donald trump now at his press remarks following that meeting the russian foreign minister emphasized that there are certain forces in the united states working very hard to do rail relations between the 2 countries and groups congress

seems to have been captured by a desire to destroy us russian relations now relations between the u.s. and russia have been sour as it is and when u.s. president donald trump met with the russian foreign minister and took a photograph together there was quite a reaction from those who oppose it are critical of president donald trump trump is meeting with russia's foreign minister in the oval office again on this he's invited in. it sounds last time they laughed about troops firing of komi today they can celebrate the success of russian propaganda reagan wouldn't recognize this g.o.p. trump lover of meeting in private this afternoon what conspiracy are they cooking up today among the topics discussed at this high level russia u.s. meeting where the issues of arms control nuclear proliferation as well as the issue of terrorism and it seems that in the aftermath of the meeting some efforts are now taking place to undo whatever progress was made. in the executive director of the eurasia center thinks that russia has done more to coma terrorism than the u.s.

. i am shocked i think this is going in the complete opposite direction the president. would like to go in. i think europe is also would like to be mending and rebuilding the ties to russia i don't understand how the senate even comes up with this idea i mean if you look at terrorism russia is probably doing more to fight terrorism than the us i mean it's clear that whether it's intentional or not us funding us weapons us training have gone to just an example moderate rebel which one they are supposedly moderate and then the next day there isis russia as a state sponsorship i mean these people are off in some other world and they're not in not in reality. i feel very embarrassed. apologize you know for myself russia for the going through and i just i'm completely shocked that somebody

would actually propose. a chinese restaurant in new york opened by a white woman has shut down after just 8 months i met a backlash over cultural appropriation promotional material by ariel hasbro's lucky lee's restaurant repeated stereotypes about supposedly unhealthy chinese food claiming only its offerings don't leave you feeling bloated and achy the post sparked outrage on social media is it a full become or can lady we've all been there having chinese food on sundays but don't you hate how it's so unhealthy me raced for 20 years by asian metrics cooking healthy balanced meal 7 days a week. who talks about how chinese food is usually a dolls' draw in sauces and makes you rise puffy lady what. look eliezer started by a white woman ignorantly use an asian stevia types to clean american chinese food and sell it to the un all the restaurant closing her business and apologizing. we

have been listening in learning and we have been making changes and we will continue shame on us for not being smarter about cultural sensitivities my colleague mia javier discussed the issues raised with human rights campaign a potential on journalist and political commentator. the holistic way with cultural procreation and that's what they seem to be mad about they're trying to say that she was using disparaging language if that's the best they have and she said chinese food makes you feel icky that's not a really strong argument and i don't believe it i don't think any chinese people upset about this i haven't seen the government of china banning her from visiting i think the problem was that the owner did indulge in a few stereotypes and you know i don't think it's true at all a child that claims that chinese food makes you feel blue to ricky. i've never experienced that i love chinese but i think it's great but of course there are good and bad chinese restaurants just like there's good and bad british ones once again this is a busybody annoying white liberal preoccupation who think they have to police the

world and stand up for all the poor suffering minorities out there and you know it's great to see them eat their own it's wonderful to see them be ridiculous and to shut down a female own business because they didn't like one thing she said i think you know obviously it's very important that the owners and providers of i think minority traditional foods do have a cultural sensitivity and respect for those cultures but that's like why would that even be controversial who cares it's not like it's insulting a culture it's not like it's racist the whole problem if they had you know if that would also just be her stating her opinion about chinese cuisine which would be shared by many people this is not like a hateful statement celebrity chef gordon ramsay criticised for opening at a. restaurant without a single asian shift i would guess probably say i just choose the best chefs regardless of race and that you would think that would be applauded but how do you feel about it i think gordon ramsay could easily afford to find some good asian

chefs and there are plenty of them believe you me you know there is no excuse for not for not having some chinese chefs in that restaurant because there are many many really good chinese shifts i think that's ridiculous because that the accusation would be something that he intentionally didn't hire a chinese person which of course i think it would be completely not true he simply hired the best person for the job why me waste time money and resources scouring for employees based on their skin color just because they happen to. have. a genetic history from a certain part of the world. time magazine has unveiled his choice for person of the year 16 year old climate activist aggressive fun book or some view her as a model of determination and praise her for efforts to combat climate change and this find her approach on scientific and accuse her of sowing worldwide panic and he's done

a whole keynes looks into the funk phenomenon. last year she was just the regular swedish schoolgirl 12 months on and she's time's person of the year rarely does a discussion on climate change today take place without her name being mentioned growth of them work has become a global sensation not just a prominent figure among climate activists but almost a messianic symbol to pulls no punches in schooling politicians about what they must do to save the planet the real danger is when politicians and c.e.o.'s are making it look like real action is happening when in fact almost nothing is being done apart from clever accounting and creative p.r. she certainly does have a point but what about the growth of film bug phenomenon itself it's on the noise quickly and loudly drawing attention to climate change she's got people talking and even been credited with influencing european and national elections but wants more

than just talking she wants action from politicians or the critics question what useful action grettir inspired movements have actually taken from strikes and protests which she herself says are unsustainable but we can't go on like this it is not sustainable solutions that children skip school we can't go on like that so now we don't want to continue so. we would love action from the people in power her speech issues resonated across the world it wasn't long before her fiery indictment of world leaders at the un assembly became a meme now they followed a clear structure grave danger bad government and a need for immediate action she soon became a target for opponents who said her ideas it lacks substance and slated her style but that was quickly knocked on the head criticism was often swiftly silenced with

those critiquing her justifiably or no. not labeled as massage honest hysterical or being triggered the climate hysteria movement is not about science if it were about science it would be led by scientists rather than by politicians and the mentally ill swedish child who is being exploited by her parents and by the international lair you. markku knows of daily want to just call gretz a phone beggar mentally ill swedish child she is mad and dangerous and she is causing the young children sleepless noisome with the juicy gossip she said she needs to go to school and show that i was fascinated by this school girl starting this strike for climate change awareness and i thought wow that's pretty gutsy it was all a little melodramatic it was all in the world of pocalypse i don't want millions if not believes of young people watching great to do that kind of speech and genuinely

think the plan is literally about the way she is daring to express what so many young people are feeling and actually i find it remarkable that she can speak in such an honest way it's truth to kathy is he speaking some of her actions a ridiculed like her transatlantic boat trip having sailed through storms to avoid carbon emissions from air travel she sailed into a storm of criticism when a fellow companions joined her flying in by plane not to mention the impracticality of adopting such measures on a wider scale this brings us back to growth as words about politicians creative p.r. world leaders from merkel to micron among others were happy to humor the latest global trend with a photo opportunity while rebuking some of our ideas so what does this leave the person of the year at 2019 which is certainly sent a message taken center stage and brought people into the streets with

a call it is now time for civil. disobedience it's time to rebel but will this have the desired effect the only thing you want to see is real action and reaction has been happening so of course we have achieved. a lot but so. but if you look at it from far from a certain point of view we have achieved nothing like her she has created a stir it may be difficult to understand the method behind a person of the year awards one of good as runner ups was donald trump maybe we can agree to hope that this year's award isn't just symbolic isn't just creative p.r. but will lead to the real change the greater seeks to create. why it looks like the message is hitting home at least in the e.u. which has just about its new european green deal that come in the block disgruntled about story and more in just

a few minutes. what politicians do to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president if you. want to be. too great to be press that's what. really can people get. interested in the water. they should. each simulating civilization will be able to run using a tiny fraction of its resources. hundreds of thousands millions of runs through all of human history almost all. beings with our kinds of experiences would then be

simulated ones rather than on simulated ones and conditional that are good we should think we are probably one of the simulated ones. welcome back the e.u. commission has unveiled new plans to make europe the 1st climate neutral continent under your pay and green deal emissions will be halted by 2030 with carbon neutrality to be achieved by 2050 but the deal has already faced criticism from bloc members of angelo's that suspects that why. there is no bigger challenge than saving the planet and europe wants to lead the way the new e.u. commission leader wonderly in has proposed a new green deal aiming to make the continent climate neutral by 2050 the european

green deal is our new growth strategy for growth that gives back more than it takes away we will help our economy to be a global leader by moving 1st and moving fast by showing the rest of the world how to be sustainable and competitive we can convince other countries to move with us via bishan are there but making it happen is not going to be easy the plans were choir a revamp of almost every sector transport farming manufacturing power plants and many countries already pushing back on the day it was introduced one 3rd of the country's bloc the finance underpinning the new green deal so for euro skeptics this might look like it another example of brussels making plans before getting the member states on board most governments support the general direction of the new green deal but the trade off between saving the planet and protecting jobs is not

going to be easy for the politicians electricity is a key factor in cutting emissions and us things then in europe most of it comes from either nuclear power or fossil fuels the nuclear power sector employs more than 1000000 people in the u.n. another half a 1000000 people work in the coal industry so that's a lot of jobs that are at stake and friends the continent's biggest nuclear power producers are now questioning why that sector should be excluded from the green financing we cannot succeed in the ecological transition and we cannot achieve a goal in terms of combating global warming without nuclear energy meanwhile the renewable term it is are not always popular look at germany's wind power sector. by installation in your hour slowed down due to legal disputes long delays in planning permission and alarm over a number of birds being killed by the blades e.u. commission leader von delirium calls her new green deal

a quote man on the moon woman this is europe's man the morn moment but from down here on the groan you can see it's going to be a long and difficult journey. for our. polls have opened in the u.k. which is holding its 3rd a general election in 5 years we show you some live pictures from a polling station in london now where british voters have until 10 pm local time tonight cast their ballots or as the voting is done we'll bring you all the results as they come in throughout the night so do tune in and join us for that. and one person is missing and 6 injured after a fire in russia's only aircraft carrier that's according to the country's emergency services the admiral kuznetsov is currently stationed in western russia as months region efforts to extinguish the fire are still underway a preliminary report connects a place to repair work involving welding there are also reports that there are

complications due to heavy smoke or bring you more on this story as we get it. more than 8 years ago an earthquake and tsunami hit japan's fukushima nuclear power plant contaminating the surrounding area hundreds of thousands of people were evacuated from their homes well since then all dorothy's have declared parts of the town closest to the plant safe for habitation r.t. documentary visited the ghost town and you can watch that film in full tomorrow on r.t. . march 20th live an earthquake and tsunami. a giant wave hits the fukushima one nuclear power plant. flooded almost the entire facility. first the reactor cooling system is compromised then there's an explosion then

either max kaiser this is the kaiser report you know one of those mysteries when the bailouts came in 2008 oh there's a lot of money printing going on people said well where's the inflation the government says there's no inflation you know and then a lot of people say well actually health care and education are skyrocketing in value you don't count those and that's why you're misreading inflation and this has been going on for years new evidence suggests. we found it we found the missing inflation stacie right that is because 2019 has been a year that all that was hidden is being revealed trump is the great revealer in politics and geopolitics so he now openly says what was always the truth for example that were there for their oil we weren't there to help the women and

children of iraq were there to take their oil and that is the truth and that has always been the truth he has revealed this truth he has also revealed that in fact our trade policies since nafta since especially the china rising into the debbie c.e.o. has been a bad deal for the majority of workers in the united states that has been revealed now one of the things that has been going on since this financial crisis and back in 2009 in 10 remember we had many debates here on kaiser report about whether there was going to be inflation or deflation and a lot of people like peter schiff predicted hyperinflation because there would be so much money printing they can't print $14.00 trillion dollars and have no inflation well shadowstats that john williams runs was always the one that measured real inflation remember he removed all they had donek adjustments now so we never actually see inflation in the fischel numbers but wealth richter at wall street dot

com i think has figured out that where you're starting to see it and that is what's behind the sub prime consumer loan implosion these are the good times but why are subprime credit cards auto loans and short term installment loans blowing out ok we've got a situation in sub prime consumer loans the delinquency rate on credit card loan balances at the nearly $5000.00 smaller commercial banks in the united states this means all banks except for the largest 100 is blowing out according to federal reserve data and the 3rd quarter the delinquency rate at these banks rose to 6.25 percent. that's even higher than during the peak of the financial crisis so the delinquency rate has more than doubled in just the past 2 years delinquency rate means 30 days or longer overdue your payments are. the largest banks have a delinquency rate of 2.58 percent so.
