a very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me carol. lin 6 hours from now britain's divorce from the e.u. will be complete with the brig's it guillotine falling on a 47 year partnership on the eve of britain's departure british euro files and european files gathered in london and brussels to mourn in the belgian capital a square was illuminated in union jack colors as bands played british music iconic figures like sherlock holmes will present to tonight in london however gregg's it celebration party is set to take place in parliament square but with britain's to walk out of the exit doors at 11 pm local time a storm of uncertainty is growing about what the future holds his dunga hawkins with more. big day is here but it's finally divorcing the e.u. after 3 and of years of seemingly endless negotiations that lays ministerial trips back and forth between lot of brussels we now have the unique opportunity of witnessing the bro. exit unicorn rex it means bricks it and we're going to make

a success of a story of breaks that deal breaks it breaks it breaks it breaks it breaks it way why does it look like nothing's changed well just because you can't see bricks it doesn't mean it hasn't happened or the u.k. isn't about to dive headfirst into single life any time soon for now and 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 bore transition period where the u.k. and the e.u. will talk about the new relationship that means for 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 what about 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 slags away you're leaving and take them with you if you are leaving now was. 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 genetically modified products in europe or the you kate. brax it could

change all that or 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. and. compromises a stalling with whom to falls says stephen fry at least unless it seems your northern island the plan is for belfast to stay in the u.k. customs there are 3 what 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 havens subsidies or crushing labor and environment standards basically the e.u. is worried it's losing a member and gaining a competitor right across the channel of yours on your own and it in we will do our this in the knowledge that with the departure of great britain a potential competitor will of course emerge for us that is to see in addition to china and united states of america there will be great britain as well the talks have both sides warrants 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 diluted. 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 for now at least scotland is seriously thinking about it so scarce it and planning a 2nd independence referendum this 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 nort 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 that

a fully fledged war is on the way hash tag bricks it 50 p. is an insult to all of us who want to remain the brags that 50 pounds 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 breasted $50.00 pence and the so-called bracks and festival rather than try to sort out the problems the bracks it creates well with so much left to be settled before bricks it lost 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 horn. and brags that countdown clock is expected to be projected on to downing street while brags it is plan to party in parliament square professor of law and government tom brooks found thing to be ex bricks that party n.e.p. nathan gill gave as their take on the seismic change for b u k. the u.k. is going to go in one direction and 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 or 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 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 this year and 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. of the 1st 2 cases of corona virus have been confirmed in russia and 2 chinese nationals on thursday the world health organization declared an international health emergency things some countries are simply not prepared to deal with the outbreak. 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 w.h.o. continues to have a confidence in china's capacity to control the outbreak. world health organization for emergency committee have cautioned countries against think with ties in behavior as increased global discrimination is being reported against

people from china where the virus originated artie's equals dawn of has the story borders on lockdown zombie like scenes of quarantine cities the world is united in trying to concoct a healing seram 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 order from earlier 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 baby other day she dropped on her daughter and her daughter was just having a bad day she's 3 years old and. the daycare teacher kept saying if she said she'll k. 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 that 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 headline 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 see it cooked the virus will die soon because it's made in china. i just want to 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 illnesses the 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 we're already experiencing subtle forms of backlash people not taking our

very class people's everyday away from minus 2020 what 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. 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 all 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 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 miss right now in all of canada there have been 3 confirmed cases of the coronavirus 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 meanwhile the u.s. commerce secretary secretary is under fire for comments made during a live interview in which he said the corona virus outbreak will boost the u.s.

economy. i don't want to talk about a victory lap over a very unfortunate jerry milligan disease but the fact is that i think it will help to accelerate the return of jobs to north america was on the secretary's comments id be a logical question of or an exhibit that was standard and humanity is open you know some people epidemic in china it is not really necessarily 2 more jobs in the united states as he claimed the us china relations is not really a sewer sum game mother nature we are all in the same boat it happens elsewhere even more even though it's come to rival it's always as that we as tories that got great was only controlled intro to only 2 percent right now compared to now i can 6 percent in china and 70 percent in hong kong back in 2003 so i think these are all temporary. understandable you see people like that in europe will be looking for

somebody else to look at the spanish flu kills millions does not need us to hate spanish seems china has already i think if i could be any sequence of their lives could be treated like a typical crew in the future best scenes have already been invented a few days ago and be out in the market next 2 years. still to come on the program the family of a one year old russian boy with a rat condition are desperately trying to raise money for the medicine he needs and that's no mean feat as it's the world's most expensive story and just. but 2020 presidential campaign is. the 2016 race but this time around the insurgent. who's not even

a member of the democratic party again are not interested in establishment politicians in fact. sanders showdown. you know what the plastic is the promise of the food supply in the oceans we keep plastic and obviously plastic in the human body is going to kill you so life expectancy is down and banning plastic is not going to change the equation one iota right because it's too far gone so should we care or just consider that humans had a great right why we did then shuffle off our mortal coil and that he owes. them.

welcome back the family of a one year old russian boy all fighting for his life that's trying to raise the money needed to treat his rare condition but the medicine requires it just happens to be the most expensive in the world maria phenomena has the details see more than just turned one most kids his age would have taken their 1st steps by now but to more has and he can see it either even rolling is a hard task right now he has a rare disorder caused by a defective gene spinal muscular atrophy now knows as how many 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 2.5 hour 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 dad they had so far only managed to reach 10 percent of their goal for northrup and will give us that we have a goal and we simply aim towards reaching this goal and we do not think about anything else but this go and we are optimistic that when u.s. regulators approved the gene therapy last may there was plenty of talk about how revolutionary it is 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 established benchmarks including the 10 year 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 the 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 prize 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 medicine at this level is a deeply worrying new reality for health systems right the way around the war 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 has been a relatively 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're priced so high that the patients that need and can't get access there are not. to many as i may diagnosed people around the world that is 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. r.t. from moscow. palestine is seeing another day of public anger over donald trump's plan to bring peace to the region.

in ramallah demonstrators were met with tear gas after they started fires and bill in village a group of protesters burned tires and tried to break through a security barrier some even scaled the security wall to fly a palestinian flag from it with rallies breaking out all across the gaza strip local journalists human also fired reports from the area. we're hearing to ballyards one of the occasions where we. reach an ounce of palestinians that come through just here today if you just should the american media the 1st century because they believe that it does not keep them many moments like this palestinians that maybe everything in the world that you continue. to do legitimately lives the right of self-determination and the right to understand that she got behind the scenes seen with east jerusalem as its capital as it was it was in the united

we have nothing against the refugees and migrants have shown their solidarity all this time but we are asking for a change to government policy that should lead to the equal distribution of refugees and migrants. the migrants should go we're not racist simply the situation on the island is out of control 100 percent you can see for yourself what's happening so they're coming in and they're not leaving open the borders so they can go to italy bulgaria germany you know my. political analyst petrols our girl rio believes the fault lies with honest honesty internationalize the european union who left greece alone to handle the crisis. i'm going to ask where obviously the national was during the decade go for human suffering and the grab and go for human rights so that you must of all greek citizens i have a question political one of them where they ask alan that is the good people to put human rights at the migrants the islanders there should be if you raise it they can
