a new trade deal that aims to overcome their long running tariff war. from our studios in moscow this is r.t. international i'm sean thomas and we've got have with us. the united nations is accusing the chilean army and police of committing human rights violations during a crackdown on protests and thousands have been demonstrating since mid october demanding in overhaul of the constitution you know arrest was triggered by a hike in public transport costs but snowballed into a nationwide movement for social reform the government imposed a state of emergency and deployed troops on the streets u.n. investigators have highlighted cases of unlawful killings and torture here are some of the key findings.

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. there we heard from a protester who was hit by police gunfire and lost almost all his vision in one eye in his own mental it was a peaceful rally but the police turned fairy violent they were shooting at people

in a 2nd when i was trying to hide from being shot i was hit by a bullet straight into my face my forehead and i was frightened because i couldn't see anything i couldn't think what had happened i've lost 90 percent of vision in one eye the doctors told me that recovery is a very long process 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's said of the deaths happened in situations of extreme violence instigated by the protesters. get a 1000000 in that we deeply regret delegation's each of them is being or will be

investigated 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 claim the police and they conclude luckily. no. i didn't say leave it. they have no andy andy kind of paid to go home and be very adamant or continuing to present the protests will continue or will sort of kind been. instigated more protests people are essentially does. he just say that the garment passed by systematically i mean they report that he used that word systematically but they did systematic very little you know break into. the united states in 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

a 19 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 a valid statement donald trump took to twitter calling the agreement an amazing deal for all of the just hours before he was singing a different tune when the democrats were criticizing 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 china has canceled its retaliatory tariffs it will now start buying more u.s. agriculture goods and increase intellectual property protection or to america broke down the agreement in more detail and talked through why it is still too early to hail 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 china 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 chinese want to roll back as you say are we did we roll them all by our sort all of them but all of them are rolled back so the main sticking point of why this had to happen today aside from the fact that there 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 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 say 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 based is going to be eminent and we will see how phase one turns out.

boris johnson is. servant of party is on a victory tour after in 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 found to his supporters. i want the people of the northeast today that we in the conservative body i will repay your trust 1st of all what are we going to do to really. get bret's it died out due to the budget i did we have a deal ready to go it will be we get it before christmas we've just been going about the timetable we could definitely get before christmas and then we're out for january. it was 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 simon right gives us an alternative look at the election of a generation is one of britain's oldest traditions 5 weeks of election campaigning and the tory fancy has its lease on downing street when you think conservatives have formally won this general election to boris johnson through the famous black door like any man who knows these 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 lawyer to win elections and. interesting thing about british politics on the day he was still trying to win votes came out for a photo opportunity with his dog. off lead one. this is boris just after his win has been confirmed to me. what you

probably saw me so depressing about paul. into a make a rock star entrance call it off when we. did everybody involved in securing the biggest conservative majority so that i did. this majority we will at last be able to do what pretty much whatever you want unfortunately we will get done. 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 turkeys voting for christmas anyone so this is corbin looking a bit sad after the lines of 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've 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 and with of socialism about it seriously they go in there not reading the room if you thought jeremy corbin was having a bad night and spare a thought for poor old liberal democrat leader joseph winston 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.

i. think she won't be laughing when she asks boys for another scottish independence of. politics it's a nasty business. in the wake of the conservative clean up party u.k. discussed what it means for the all but inevitable book bag that 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 things will be very different boris was trying to operate and to negotiate with one arm tied behind his back throughout these negotiations due 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 row and we have got

a hugely divided country over the issue of drugs it and i would argue it's not deliverable in the time scale they want the problem of course is briggs it 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 for every likes but at the end of the day after he has passed this legislation to leave the e.u. if nothing is so 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 transport company posted a video online asking people to vote for its inclusion on the u.s. gold list involves the simpsons takes 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 you know schools heritage list. who've gone down and could decide to try to be faulty

via c m have in mind is. done by law to teach to the public 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. education each. it will 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 however he's shown. it's a service rather than a truck. with people already saying yes on the company's website. in 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 you're angrily to a bus by your driver or you're already limited space is being invaded on one other subways this could all be part of

a world heritage experience eventual slips us for artsy. facebook has been accused of risking public health over ads for the prevention of drugs. this is our international. join me every thursday simon short and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

welcome back this is art international now intensive clashes have erupted in the lebanese capital beirut to during anti-government riots there. i. believe the latest in a wave of protests over the country's worst economic crisis in decades police used

tear gas and but tons and rubber bullets to force back from crowds at least 54 people were injured in saturday's clashes in the country has been without a government since the prime minister resigned more than 6 weeks ago. facebook is 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 misinform people about the hiv prevention drug trade veda the advertisements are targeting. facebook and instagram users 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 ants potentially leading to avoidable h. hiv infections the ads placed by multiple law firms urging gay and bisexual men to

join a lawsuit against the drug maker claiming that it has caused harmful side effects. facebook says that the commercials do not violate the platform's rules but their policy also states that in some cases they can be removed if an expert organization debugs their claims now if you rose 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 have 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 end the 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 that 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 harm so it's a civil discourse and the until this is a democracy. germany has slammed us sanctions are 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 it 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 you're going to give but if you broke if the u.s. keeps trying to obstruct the north stream project i suggest responding with punitive tariffs on 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 by washington claims nord stream that 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 united states 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 their gas they want to boost their own trade and that's why they are imposing sanctions on companies involved in building the pipeline that 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 north 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 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 to really felt and we still feel some hope that things will calm better i mean things cannot be versed and 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 president and asking his 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 the but i mean these debates 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. you can watch that full interview at r.t. dot com i'll be back at the top the hour with another look at your news with this is art. in the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage through parts of northern ireland that was coordinated

loyalist attacks particularly population tens of thousands were forced to flee their homes. these attacks was a p.r. you see the police actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing it they were active participants in the burning of the streets in belfast at that craig more than a 100 innocent civilians were. seniors and we found out more i was surprised about the extent. to which the collusion was involved in some of those cases the killers would later be named. in the gang i think it went to the very very top i think it is. the water where politicians. and give the go ahead.

seemed wrong. to me but yet to say proud this day to come to advocate and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. she stood up for common ground. you know world's big partners through a lot of things and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the bad and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks.

while away. china is the apollo 11. this decade. it's defining the technological landscape for a whole country is going to happen for a long time. people who lived in towns to which excess is now restricted are allowed to revisit their homes a few times each year 51 is given a dosey meter to show how much radiation they are exposed to while inside the zone . 2011 earthquake and tsunami. a

giant wave hits the fukushima one nuclear power plant. flooded almost the entire facility. the reactor cooling system is compromised then there's an explosion then another and another. radiation rises to 5 times the normal level the situation is exceptional and it's given the highest possible school officer verity of new. contamination. tens of thousands of people are evacuated from a 20 kilometer exclusion zone centered on the power plant. 80 years later and japanese authorities are still actively decontaminating huge tracts of land. they have removed the upper layers of soil and washed and cleaned everything. now one by one they are gradually reopening areas where the government saves people can live safely. on their own like. the one.
