what i see is this is the funds that these all come from. britain sailed off into murky waters on its coast ports that mortgage full of fear economic storms and bring new meat from both scotland and northern ireland. causes fears over the corona virus outbreak growth people around the globe work in increased stigma and discrimination against chinese people. and it's a race against time to save a one year old baby's life as his parents try to raise $2400000.00 for the world's most expensive substance.

you're watching our 2 international bring you your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. the world is counting down to the historic moment of britain divorcing its 47 your partner the european union friday finally marks the end of the broad brags that saga on the eve of britain's departure that opponents gathered in brussels and london to mourn in the belgian capital a central square was lit up in union jack colors as bands played british music iconic national symbols like sherlock holmes were seen at the gathering on monday in a pro e.u. group stood outside parliament and a show of sadness but with britain scheduled to quit at a london pm local time a storm of uncertainty is growing amid a jittery economy and rising discontent from scotland and northern ireland it's in a hearkens with more than a big day is here the u.k. is finally divorcing the e.u. after 3 and a half years of seemingly endless negotiations that lays ministerial trips back and forth between london and brussels we now have the unique opportunity of witnessing

the brics it unicorn ranks it means bricks it and we're going to make a success story of breaks that deal breaks it breaks it breaks it breaks it breaks it what is it like nothing's changed well just because you can't see bricks it doesn't mean it hasn't happened all the u.k. is about to dive head 1st into single life any time soon for now they'll be no new relationships or partners divorce is pretty tough and i'll take some time to get over things which is why they'll be an 11 month long therapy transition period were the u.k. and the e.u. will talk about the new relationship that means from now the u.k. stays in the comfort zone of the single market the customs union and the budget the 1st day when they'll stop co-habiting and go their separate ways will be january the 1st 2021 if there are no delays so despite the u.k.

staying for a little while it'll be like renting a room in a house where you can live there. and help with bills except you'll have no say in any house matters british m.p.'s will be sent home and won't take part in any decisions and definitely no union jacks allowed but apparently our national flags we're going to wave goodbye i will look forward in the future so working with you please sit down resume your seats put your flags away you're leaving and take them with you if you are leaving now. so what exactly is the deal what will the u.k. gain and lose the 1st to go next year it will be the single market and the customs union but the u.k. will be able to find new friends negotiate new global trade agreements e.u. regulations go out the window for example g.m. food companies like buyer which brought monsanto in 2018 aren't allowed to develop

or sell new genetic we modified products in europe or the u.k. bret's it could change all that well the biggest bricks that blockage was northern islands the question of border and customs check seemed almost impossible to resolve both sides argued until the cows came home. compromises a stalling with tween to falls says stephen fry at least unless it seems your northern ireland the plan is for belfast to stay in the u.k. customs territory but follow e.u. customs rules the border won't be here but somewhere here in the irish sea so everyone should be happy and if they're not belfast can vote to change things after 4 years then there's the question of fair play brussels wants

a level playing field in any trade agreement that means definitely no massive tax breaks. haven's subsidies or crushing labor and environment standards basically use war of it's losing a member and gaining a competitor right across the channel when you want it we will do all this in the knowledge that with the departure of great britain a potential competitor will of course emerge for us that is to say in addition to china and united states of america there will be great britain as well but talks have both sides of all reads it's back to the drawing board on workers' rights for the regulations and many more questions and businesses are jittery especially with sajid javid tough talk there will not be alone months we will not be a rule to go we will not be in the single markets and we will not be in the customs union and we will do this by the end of the year across the channel the neighbors seem more optimistic that a deal can be reached but that. if we want to be complete so that everyone is clear

about our intentions on the european union side there will be 0 tariffs 0 quotas 0 dumping but it's not all smooth sailing while the northern ireland situation seems result from now at least scotland is seriously thinking about it so scarce it and planning a 2nd independence referendum the stunning election win last night for the s.n.p. renew is reinforces and strengthens the mandate we have from previous elections to offer the people of scotland a choice over their future that mandate says that it is for the scottish parliament not a westminster government to say whether and when this should be a new referendum on independence with so many unknowns the brits might have agreed that at least some special bricks accordions would be a good idea to market historic events and spend some taxpayers' cash surely money

could bring everyone together and not what it comes to bricks it a fully fledged war is on the way. breaks it 50 p. is an insult to all of us who want to remain the brags that 50 pence marks the acceleration of the new iraq of dogma nation ollie's and debilitating control freakery so the government prefers to spend time and money when it's pathetic breck's it $50.00 pence and the so called breck's it festival rather than try to sort out the problems to bracks it creates wellwood so what's left to be settled before bricks it last means of bricks it at least we can finally see the promised bricks it unicorn even if it looks slightly more like a goat with a whole wall clock with a countdown to the moment the u.k. officially leaves the union is expected to be projected on to downing street rocketeers will gather in parliament square to celebrate the departure we spoke to professor of law and government tom brooks and soon to be ex m.e.p.a. from the bronx at party nathan gill to get their insights on the backs of

development. the u.k. is going to go in one direction the e.u. will continue in the direction it's going in because it will not lend its lessons now what can britain do about it our prime minister boris johnson must be fair he must maintain and uphold the promises he made in the general election in december and when it comes to it if the e.u. offered us a horrible deal because they want to maintain control over he must walk away and say well no deal i suspect it will very much be. in name only i don't think there'll be much of divergence if any at all from the european union the preparations have stopped so that's a sign that they are planning to have a deal of some kind the only way they're going to get the a widespread comprehensive deal and everything they need to get a deal on by the end of the years if there isn't much change to what the current

situation is we were promised that freedom of movement would end and this year the government has confirmed the last 48 hours it will continue until june 2021 so i think we can expect more extensions to come and much of a break if any. the world health organization has declared an international health emergency over the coronavirus its concern that as the virus spreads internationally countries are not prepared to deal with the outbreak i'm declaring a public close emergency of international concern over the global outbreak of call a number of voters let me be clear this declaration is not a vote of no confidence in china. on the contrary doug continues to have a confidence in china's capacity to control the outbreak but the organization's

emergency committee has cautioned countries against stigmatizing behavior as increased global discrimination is being reported against people from china or the virus originated artistic or stand up has the story borders on lockdown zombie like scenes of quarantine cities the world is united in trying to concoct a healing sero virus which has infected hundreds in china has now reached the united states villages have started to physically block themselves off from the capital and new cases have been confirmed around the world including germany and japan. in the contest of deadliest bugs the new coronavirus doesn't even come close to the or old familiar flu but tables turn dramatically when it comes to the ability to strike fear in the masses and this fear is also bringing out the racist in some

people with the chinese diaspora in canada among those at the receiving end our friend of mine has told the other day she dropped out her daughter and her daughter was just having a baggage 3 years old and. the daycare teacher kept saying if she said is she ok and she kept having to justify herself and say no we haven't traveled or we've been back to a certain amount of time i had one friend a colleague of hers went around to everybody who was asian in her office and says are you trying to lose our usual china are you chinese has become a frequent question faced by canadians of asian descent chinese school students whose parents have recently visited china have been urged to stay at home for a while in france a local newspaper published this on its front page headlines saying yellow alert

and yellow peril and the internet. did what it does best made everything worse if we could all agree not to read this things like the coronavirus in china wouldn't happen just sink. the virus will die soon because it's made in china. i just bought a mask to protect myself from this corona virus but it's made in china so am i playing myself. when it disgustingly ironic that people are being racist towards asian people as they get in the coronavirus and back in the colonial era white people literally in this is a country and killed thousands of indigenous people online jokes and puns adding to the mocking of the chinese cultural habits but the asian communities fighting back with a hash tag i am not

a virus were already experiencing subtle forms of backlash people not taking classes people's everyday away from minus 2020 we should hope that our children wouldn't have to deal with the same things that we had to deal with growing up and that really is the biggest concern schools for self quarantine are being so. around all over the world by ordinary citizens and authorities alike such tactics against the virus have been made into a trend by big governments who have cut ties with china and by beijing itself which however says that the isolation measures are a necessary evil to stop the new disease in its tracks the purpose of the government is to put 2 lives and health of the people at the top of all priorities therefore i have been personally directing and deploying the epidemic prevention and containment work this time now it seems it's a matter of whichever comes 1st either the virus or the hype around it has to stop

but who knows whether the outbreak of racism will also be halted the reality is that the flu killed a lot more people ill people are comparing this to the sars outbreak sars killed 44 people in this country 41 people in my city alone the city of toronto are hit by cars last year. you know so the risk is much higher on the day to day life things 3500 people in canada die from the flu 70800 people a year die from air pollution so there are certainly rest that are much much higher that because we see them on the day to day will internalize those as risk right now in all of canada there have been 3 confirmed cases of a chronic virus the odds of someone actually catching it are very very low and i think it's just fear based it's something that's unknown it's in the media there's a media frenzy so people have just reacted in a very illogical manner. squandering money on foreign military campaigns

has become something of a hobby for washington d.c. says oscar winning film director oliver stone he spoke to former ecuadorian president rafael correa a host on our sister channel r.t. spanish. strongly criticized for your work let's delve deeper into why that is firstly tell us how your military experience in vietnam changed your views and your life is a home. well. i think the turning point for me. was when i went to vietnam. and i saw the american army in vietnam fighting a war it was like moving a whole city into a country like moving huge amounts of equipment which we never brought back to the united states which we just disposed of and much of it went to the so-called enemy the north vietnamese a waste of money huge waste of money and i i say that because that is an american

hobby a system that we cause we become spoiled detainees you still think saying that we have to fight in afghanistan and iraq not to pull out and now syria he's added syria this is the wish list of these i would call them the open servitors but they're warmongers who are in the old fashioned way of talking and one more question of mucho lethal. if you spend a lot of time interrogated u.s. history you're a critic of the u.s. national security system you're considered to be against the system and this causes you problems within the united states. there is no party in the united states there's no democratic voice except 3rd parties that are small that say why are we fighting wars i don't hear it from any of the major candidates except one or 2 on the democratic side to but they don't have a chance of winning in other words hillary clinton and her group and joe biden are just as pro-war as any republican to cheney they just do it in a different way maybe it shows you how locked up america is how right so far to the

right as america gone that hillary clinton is recognized as a democrat i can't believe democrats used to be against war in other words there's no real left in america in power it's all right wing's fighting with the right wings as mr putin said at the interviews i did with him he said it doesn't make a difference who's president of the united states. you'll be able to watch the full interview on our website r.t. dot com soon there you can also find out more on stories from around the globe like a. presenter is forced to resign after using a shakespeare quote containing the word and an on line with a black. russian pranksters and posed as an environmental campaigner. and a call. for

a cameo in the. family of a one year old russian boy diagnosed with a deadly rare genetic disease are running out of time to raise the $2400000.00 for the world's costliest medicine artist maria for national reports. to more than just turned one most kids his age would have taken their 1st steps by now but to more hasn't he can see either even rolling is a hard task right now he has a rare disorder caused by a defective gene spinal muscular atrophy known as a semi without special medicine team or might never get the chance to blow 2 candles out on a birthday cake and they smelled a scent is the most expensive drug in the world ever. the bill now is $2400000.00 they made a discount it was $2.00 our life has turned into a nonstop crowdfunding marathon with limited time very limited time but time is

against him more doctors say he has 12 months maximum otherwise even the most expensive drug ever want to be able to help at the time we spoke to his dead they had so far only managed to reach 10 percent of their goal for northrup i'm really nervous that we have a goal we simply aim towards reaching this goal and we do not think about anything else but this goal and we are optimistic. when u.s. regulators approved gene therapy last may there was plenty of talk about how revolutionary it can save a life with a single injection but there was so much small talk about just why it is so incredibly expensive we have used value based pricing frameworks to prise all gas mind around 50 percent less than multiple stablished benchmarks including the tin your current coast of chronic spinal muscular atrophy therapy it's very difficult

to say what a fair price it all depends on what the distribution is going to be despite all these these that large. investment costs it's very difficult for people to really know how much is actually a return on investment and how much is just pure profit so i think we've got a bit of a broken system right now if the company appears to recognize the barrier the price presents its run in a yearly lottery with 100 days of the miracle treatment been given for free a lottery where the prize is a child's life crisis old medicine at this level is a deeply worrying new reality for health systems right the way around the world and we know that increasing numbers of drug companies are charging these very excessive prices and if we don't do something about it though then it's going to cause this day in ability old access to health care for literally millions of people will be

called into question there is no point in having medical innovation and having new medicines if they are priced so high that the patients that need and can't get access there are not too many diagnosed people around the world that is the order affects one in 6000 to one in 10000 people but each of them or rather their families in every corner of the planet will have to struggle to get expensive treatment trying to strike a balance between hope that it could be cured and fear that they might not have enough time or enough money. from moscow still to come a u.s. investigative news sites on the blind will notices to canada spy agency for claiming it's directed from russia details after the break.

as a financial survival guide stacey let's learn southfield let's say on the show like this and your. response based off the fight. thank you for. the story that's right well if you looked at slavery. we don't want to. be with the monument we want the kind of. streets filled with events. with was misplaced as has come from some toes maybe i love going to conferences and debates and such events but the battle of ideas and the bobby confront these are the kind of things used to be striving on gives us the pause making connection with the people who set up projects.

welcome back us investigative side consortium news has sent libel notices to canada spy agency and major broadcaster after they claimed it was directed from russia the editor in chief of consortium news told us the claims are designed to distract from its story that a top canadian minister lied about her grandfather's nazi connections. we have our own independent view this seems not to be able to be tolerated so we need to be smeared and marginalized as somehow being directed by a foreign power the article that they in question about chrystia freeland is completely true our grandfather did run a notch english paper in occupied poland during the war what we have being treated

to what would live being accused of as being somehow directed by a foreign government hostile foreign government in their view as if domestic dissent indigenous dissent cannot exist on its own that we must be directed from a foreign power that we cannot have our own agency to be outside the herd of corporate media which is largely government controlled to give a different point of view from people who have been inside the establishment so we have been trolled before and accuse of being put in puppets in crown kremlin stooges except for every you know you put up with it but when it gets to this level of a major intelligence agency and a major television network we we have to take some action and we sent this demand letter demanding a retraction and an apology back in 2017 consortium news said that canada's then foreign minister lied about her grandfather's role in world war 2 kristie if freeland claimed he was a war victim working to return democracy to ukraine when in fact he edited a nazi propaganda journal freelon now promoted to deputy prime minister ignored

subsequent questions on the issue and tried to shift attention through unrelated unproven allegations on russian meddling i don't think it's a secret that american officials have publicly said and even i'm going to merkel has publicly said that there were efforts on the russian side to destabilize western democracies and i think it shouldn't come as a surprise if the same efforts were used against canada so laurie again hopes that this story will get more attention. the toronto globe and mail the largest paper in canada had a headline that said chrystia freeland grandfather was the editor of a nazi newspaper so they found out that it was true and her office had to admit it was a very sad and troubling time for that she's trying to deal with an interesting question is what's the timing why did they dredge up a 3 year old consortium news article now she wanted just got a new position not only did she become deputy prime minister a month after her reelection in october last year she was quoted in the publication

in canada by an analyst as saying that she is now is functionally the prime minister so she has along much power in the kenyan government he would like this to be more bigger than this is bigger and consortium moves this involves all people have been smeared. lastly a short news wrap up from around the world. of defense agreement run a fight with the us has triggered mass protests in athens as anti-war protesters filled the streets on thursday as well as a similar demonstration in october of last year during the u.s. secretary of state's visit deal aims to boost military cooperation and comes amid escalating tensions with neighboring turkey over border disputes. tragic footage is emerging from the syrian area of marano new mon after its liberation from terrorists and historic mistakes museum in the e.u. and ask illicit site of ancient villages has been gutted the syrian army found that

a lot of things and conspiracy it's time to wait to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back 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 for watching closely watching the hawks. trade and investment to become magic spells to come to economic development. most people think about trade they think about goods and services being exchanged between countries and the investment chopped or of a trade agreement is about something very different but what when investment leads to toxic manufacturing that destroys sacred sites all ruins the environment. that means if local communities that are being poisoned if they object if they do
