and broadcasting live. t. international tom certainly glad to have you with us the united nations is accusing the chilean army and police committing human rights violations during a crackdown on protests thousands have been demonstrating since mid october demanding an overhaul of the constitution the unrest was triggered by a hike in public transport costs but snowballed into a nationwide movement for social reform and the government imposed a state of emergency and deployed troops on the streets un investigators have highlighted cases of unlawful killings and torture some of the key findings. it. was.

oh. and. human rights violations documented by c.a.g.r. include the excessive or and this is true use of force that led to unlawful killings and injuries arbitrary detentions and torture and ill treatment we heard from a protester who was hit by police gunfire and lost almost all of his vision in one eye. it was a peaceful rally but the police turned fairy violent they were suddenly people in a 2nd when i was trying to hide behind shot i was hit by a bullet straight into my face my forehead and i was frightened because i couldn't

see anything and i couldn't think what had happened i've lost 90 percent of vision in one eye doctors told me that recovery is a very long process of healing and that i need to pray. you to do 1st of the projectile it's caused an ocular injury and unfortunately there is no hope for further recovery that's less than 5 percent right now as such will have to provide support throughout the that would tear past psychologists or post rehabilitation surgery we're talking perhaps months or even years of rehabilitation in order to address this trauma santiago has described the u.n. report as disappointing it said the deaths happened in situations of extreme violence instigated by the protesters. getting money i mean that we deeply regret delegations each of them is being or will be investigated i want to emphasize that the needs to introduce a state of emergency arose from a situation of violence and not peaceful demonstrations as some have tried to clain

the police and they keep a lot. of them say leave it to our. they have no in the early kind of paid them to go home and be very adamant or continuing to pressure protests will continue or sort of kind been. instigated more protests people are very seriously but he did say that the government passed by systematically i mean they report that he used that word systematically but they just systematic very little you know break into. the united states and china have approved the 1st phase of a trade deal they want to cut tariffs on chinese goods while boosting american farm exports to beijing it follows in 1000 month tariff war between the world's 2 largest economies. the agreement will create better conditions for china and the

united states to strengthen corporation in economy and trade properly manage unresolved economic and trade disputes or differences and promote stable growth of china's economic and trade relations given the downward pressure on the world economy after beijing released that statement donald trump took to twitter calling viewing agreement an amazing deal for all although just hours before he was signing a different singing a different tune when the democrats were criticized. or were criticizing excuse me the rumor deal. reports say president trump sold out for a temporary unreliable promise from china to purchase some soybeans we've heard this song and dance from china before yet again president trump can't be relied on to do the right thing even when his statements were pointing in the right direction the wall street journal story on the china deal is completely wrong especially their statement on tariffs fake news they should find a better leaker. well

a quick look at the terms of the 1st phase the u.s. has scrapped tariffs on chinese goods worth $160000000000.00 in return trying to has cancel its retaliatory tariffs it will now start buying more u.s. agricultural goods and increase intellectual property protection or to america broke down the agreement in more detail and talks through why it is still too early to feel any real success here. is this deal going to end up being no different than what these 2 countries had to begin with it's like if i take something away from you and then i give it back to you i didn't really give it to you exactly and this was actually the exact same thing that was on the table back in march if you remember the trade deal that was on the table back in march like we said we will buy more ads you take back our tears this is exact same thing and trump was like no we demand ip protection we demand rights who are american companies in china you need to restructure your government to not handle private corporations he demanded all of these things and now china was like no we're not going to do that and look at the terms of phase one here it's so vague and all of those things are taken out

the only thing that are actually legitimate on the table are literally purchases and rollback of tariffs so the journeys wanted us to take a rollback as you say are we did we roll them all bartz or not all of them not all of them are rolled back so the main sticking point of why this had to happen today aside from the fact that it was also some impeachment stuff going on right so you kind of take over the news cycle but aside from that as of sunday about $160000000000.00 worth of new tariffs are going to be added to chinese goods and the reason that trump and his team needed to get something done today is because had that been enacted for the 1st time american consumers were going to start feeling this trade deal in a negative way and he doesn't want that one isn't is a non deal right now this is a deal for public consumption it's just a face really the crux of it is face to face 3 and right now in order to save even more face trump said phase 2 is going to be great face to his going to him and. we will see how phase one turns out. johnson's conservative party is on

a victory tour of sorts after an historic win in the u.k. general election the prime minister has visited the north of england to meet his fellow lawmakers who ousted labor rivals to secure a big majority and he thanked his supporters. i want the people of the northeast today that we in the conservative party i will repay your trust 1st of all what are we going to do to really. get. back to god we have a deal ready to go before we get it in before christmas we've just been going over the timetable we could. before christmas and then we're out for january 31st. it was of the tories biggest election win in more than 3 decades and the worst result for the labor party since the 1930 s. but north of the border the scottish national party were celebrating a landslide victory which has reignited calls for a 2nd independence referendum party's simon wright gives an alternative look at the

election of a generation. is one of britain's oldest traditions 5 weeks of election campaigning and that's all we fancy has its lease on downing street the conservatives have formally won this general election. by through the famous like any man who knows that his rent is about to be paid for him for the next 5 years. over. run a campaign this time that proved once and for all the politicians law it's a win elections. ok interesting thing about british politics on the day he was still trying to win votes came out for a photo opportunity with his dog. and now off lead one. this is boris just after his win has been confirmed. to us. so my so depressing about a politician to a make

a rock star entrance pull it off when we. did everybody involved in securing the biggest conservative majority so that i did it. with this about this majority we will at last be able to do what pretty much whatever you want unfortunately we will get done on time by the 30 post of january i bet you don't cover the old socialist labor leader jeremy corbyn saw his party the party of the working class abandoned by the working class they voted for the tories instead 'd turkey's voting for christmas anyone so this is corbin looking a bit sad after the. election disaster he was facing had become thank you. could i start by saying a huge thank you to the returning officer he's take a few tips off that tall guy behind him he's having a great time this is obviously

a very disappointing night for the labor party with the result that we've got a bit of an understatement there. she noticed this was the 2nd referendum in my done a bit better. i want to say this in the election campaign. we put forward a manifesto of hope a manifesto of unity and a manifesto that unfortunately no one wanted to vote for all that nationalization and free stuff with of socialism about it seriously go in the house not reading the room you thought jeremy cooper was having a bad night and spare a thought for poor old liberal democrat leader joe swinson who failed not only to make her own party attractive she didn't even get elected as an m.p. herself the leader of the scottish national party nicholas sturgeon well she was speaking for all of us when she reacted to swinson is demise like this was.

absent when she won't be laughing when she asks boris for another scottish independence of. politics it's a nasty business in the wake of a conservative cleanup of r t u k discussed what it means for all the books for the all but inevitable breaks. i think the size of the majority was a surprise for a lot of people and a really fantastic result for for the coals given the fact that we've got a conservative government would things would be very different boris was trying to operate and to negotiate with one arm tied behind his back throughout these negotiations to the fact that everything that he submitted parliament did their best to block he's now no longer in that situation so i think he can be a lot more shall we say forceful as we move through these negotiations 5 more years

of story role and we have got a hugely divided country over the issue of briggs's and i would argue it's not deliverable in the time scale they want the problem of course is briggs is going to go on for years potentially even decades you and i are going to be talking about the briggs it negotiations what's happening in different sectors where is can promise put every likes but at the end of the day after he has passed this legislation to leave the you if nothing is still it's about the end of 2020 we crash out without a deal. the berlin transport authority has made a semi-serious application for world heritage status on monday the german capital's transport company posted a video online asking people to vote for its inclusion on the u.s. goal is to eventually take a closer look. what does the taj mahal in india the much you paid. transit system have in common well nothing yet but they may soon be sharing the spot and unicycles heritage list. london and could decide to try to be called

t.v.'s must see them how it might be. done by. 2 p. to be told the berlin transit authority has applied for world heritage status and wants to be included on the same list of some of the world's most fascinating architectural monuments but what makes the berlin transit system so special the appeared in a stock page design side. it's certainly convenient and even runs 24 hours a day on fridays and saturdays but if you've ever been on one of their subways you'll realize that the stuff could be a little bit frosty. the education teach the bush. it would be. somebody saying it's all good for marriage so customer service is not really their thing and mention the overcrowding and the long delays so we

went around asking berliners what they think about their transit system and whether it should be included on heritage list it's one of the oldest so i think you have to save it and to use it it's been a great transportation to use but i don't know if it's exactly. right not because it's an it's a quite old system in and in germany the ground system and. underground stations look like a huge because here it's i don't think it should be have a huge. it's a service rather than a truck. with people already saying yes on the company's website. holguin this school right it could indeed have some traction but it could also just be a ticket to promote the city's public transit network so remember next time your. driver or your already limited space is being invaded on one of their subways this

could all be part of the world heritage experience magical cips us for artsy. facebook has been accused of risking public health over ads for hiv prevention drugs and much more after a short break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to. have to go right to be cross that's what before 3 of them or can people get. interested always in the waters of college. there should. be. a welcome mattresses r t international now intense clashes have erupted in the lebanese capital beirut during anti-government riots. i. i. i it is the latest in

a wave of protests over the country's worst economic crisis in decades police used tear gas and rubber bullets to force back crowds at least 54 people were injured in saturday's clashes the country has been without a government since the prime minister resigned more than 6 weeks ago. facebook is a back in the spotlight over serious health accusations dozens of rights groups and advocates have signed an open letter demanding the social network drop ads that misinformed people about the hiv prevention drug. the advertisements are targeting . facebook and instagram uses and are causing significant harm to public health the signers of this letter request that facebook and instagram remove the advertisements and also publicly address the misinformation that the platforms have allowed to spread the letter says that people expressed heightened fears about taking the drug after seeing the ads potentially leading to avoid hiv infections

the ads placed by multiple law firms urging gay and bisexual men to join a lawsuit against the drug maker claiming it has caused harmful side effects facebook says the commercials do not violate the platform's rules but the policy also states that in some cases they can be removed if an expert organization debunks their claims. a few rows from the hiv advocacy organization health gap believes facebook is not doing enough. i myself have been taking the drug for 6 years now and i've seen 0 side effects on the drug facebook is promoting an ad that makes it really hard to allow people to have a really powerful and really safe new prevention option their 1st exposure to this pale is that it is dangerous this is misleading false and also only harming public health and the efforts to hiv pandemic globally they want to act like they are

the biggest game in town and they are but that means that you have some ethical responsibilities when it comes to certain areas you need to throw more accurate things about health you need to do some more things about news you claim that you are a news outlet for people in place and people get news but refused to fact check or even engage in the notion and allow people to spread lies that are harmful to people's public health so it's a civil discourse and we intend this is a democracy. germany has slammed us sanctions targeting companies building the nord stream to gas pipeline it is the 2nd leg of an underwater network running from russia to europe under the baltic sea covers more than a 1000 kilometers and allows russia to pump gas to the e.u. bypassing ukraine the german parliament's economic affairs and energy committee chairman says berlin should respond with similar tariffs on america. if the u.s. keeps trying to obstruct the north stream project i suggest responding with punitive tire of some german imports of american gas things cannot continue like this if we

impose punitive tariffs on us gas sales will fall on the us will have to reflect on his actions washington claims nord stream makes europe too dependent on russia for energy supplies but the german foreign minister says the country's energy policy cannot be dictated by the u.s. . european energy policy is decided in europe not in the u.s. we crucially reject external interference and sanctions with extra territorial effect on the us is unhappy that we are not buying that gas they want to boost their own trade and that's why they are imposing sanctions on companies involved in building the pipeline firstly american liquefied natural gas is obtained through fracking which makes it an acceptable for germany and secondly it is much more expensive than rushing gas like the natural gas we get from russia is high in demand and due to falling production in europe demand has only increased so we plan to import more of it this is why news stream 2 is so important the americans have

tried to interrupt our oil and gas trade with russia from the outset and yet we have managed to cooperate for many years without interruption both sides need this and we plan to continue where the us likes it or not. the foreign minister of hungary has urged to ukraine's president to normalize relations with russia the diplomat spoke exclusively to r.t. about western sanctions against moscow and the future of nato there was one new participant on this meeting the relatively new president of ukraine and you know to be honest when he was elected you really felt and you still feel some hope that things will calm better i mean things cannot be verizon under poroshenko that's for sure i mean from hungary in perspective at least but 'd of course it would be very important to have 3 elections follow diverts and i do hope that he's constructive approach i mean presidents are asking is

a constructive approach will help to settle the relationship between the russian federation and ukraine. we are committed to human rights to be respected that's not a question what we don't like is that that sometimes the reference to human rights serves as a basis to. to interfere into domestic issues of other countries on an ideological basis on a political basis without any good reason. there should be some at the station mechanisms launched within nato in order to be able to address the new kinds of challenges no question but calling nato brain dead that was too much i think i definitely didn't agree with that part but but i mean these are the best should evolve and we have to understand that there are leaders who like to say let's say things which can be media ties easily we have to understand

that we have to live with that now the the atmosphere of the of the summit was rather constructive everybody was emphasizing the importance of the unity of nato and i think that that was shown very clearly. that full interview is over on our website r.t. dot com you can catch a very in the meantime i will be back up there with more news this is our 2 internationals they will. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport that's less i'm show business i'll see you then. in the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage through parts of northern ireland that was coordinated

loyalist attacks particularly catholic population in belfast tens of thousands were forced to flee their homes and what was striking to put these attacks was that the are you see the police actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing look they were active participants in the burning of coal streets in belfast at the time more than a 100 innocent civilians were unloaded as the review can seniors and we found out more i was surprised about the extent and of the currents which the pollution was involved in some of those cases the killers would later be named into the enemy getting i think it went to the very very top i think it is the thought process the water where all the taste since you thought was going on and gave the go ahead. on arizona's johnson. and i just got out of prison for.

a long time stacy sure this high tech advantage that china has should have been a split nick moment i should've. basically introduced some sort of industrial policy and said hey americans we need to realize that china is eating our lunch on top of this we also should realize that our our exorbitant privilege of having the u.s. dollar as world's reserve currency has indeed been a massive privilege and we should have done everything to sustain that so acting like a bully has not only saw that you know even france and germany are coming up with an alternative to swift to circumvent the u.s. dollar to circumvent the new york fed where all trades are settled that exorbitant privileges ending but this privilege of having the you know. this being so crucially important to world trade is also ending because what we're seeing is this shocking headline and this is miss talk talking about

a wall street journal headline china no longer needs u.s. parts in its phones american tech companies are getting the go ahead to resume business with chinese smartphone giant while weight technologies but it may be too late it is now building smartphones without us chips while ways latest phone which it unveiled in september called the meat 30 with a curved display and wide angle cameras that competes with apple's i phone 11 contained no us parts according to an analysis by u.b.s. and for more hot technology solutions japanese technology lab that took the device apart to inspect its insides now going back to apollo 11 in the space program we had industrial policy in america which was over there in california the xerox labs where they developed a lot of the technologies that apple used in the i phone like the cursor and all the micro circuitry and all these things that are the parts that go into an i phone

were developed by the u.s. government thanks to the tax payer as part of an industrial policy called the space race and now you've got an industrial policy in china to beat us technology to beat apple with a huawei next generation phone and it looks like they're succeeding and there's no parts in the phone and the us is being going to be sputnik and left on the roadside while china and the technology in 5 g. go into the future all they have are terrorists and set of being able to compete i think with bell labs was in it they did it on the last big part of 00 they had a big. research parked in steve jobs open openly said that they stole a lot of stuff from there they were the best at stealing they had from the technology from the u.s. government this story actually hits here in north carolina while way long relied on suppliers like corvo incorporated the north carolina maker of chips that are used to connect smartphones with the.
