the u.k. set sales from the e.u. on its post brooks voyage to 7 years of corp there are fears of economic storms and mutiny. on. a peace plan the trip is violence donald trump's accused of taking sides in the israel palestine conflict as the palestinian authority's cut ties on protests broke out in the west bank. as fears peak globally over the corona virus outbreak there is a reported spike in discrimination against chinese nationals.

a french farm for the struck turns ugly in paris where riot police resorted to tear gas water cannons. live from moscow thanks for joining us in the weekly here in r.t. international i'm daniel hawkins welcome to the program. and the u.k. has finally made its farewell to the european union bringing to an end almost half a century in the bloc an extended period of up evil following that historic referendum back in 2016 but britain's new beginnings out without uncertainty of quarter explains.

no it's not a late new year's celebration it's the u.k. setting sail from the e.u. after 47 years of being docked they're going to wave goodbye i will look forward in the future so working with you pays to chandra's you in your seats put your flags away you know anything a conflicted brussels bids them farewell you will be missed especially by european bureaucrats when it comes to london's money going into their coffers on the other hand westminster has been such a nuisance lately it could be just goodbye and good riddance almost half a century of the united kingdom's membership in the european union is over we want to have the best possible relationship with the united kingdom but it will never be as good as membership that could mean after the 11 months transitional period the u.k. finds itself in rough waters stranded at sea with no trade agreements unless

something can be ironed out before 2021 it will not be alone months we will not be a rule 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 so how are things going aboard britain's flagship while half the crew is celebrating they're free to sail wherever they want and the captain's ready to steer them to a brighter future storms in the end but a beginning the e.u. has evolved over 50 years in a direction that no longer suits this country but the other half is seasick and predicting a doomed voyage people realise that if. we would cut that and go if you try to break it up to take you. similar to what we have. you. know we will be worse off for seeing the u.k. is. this is really or is that some are even considering mutiny so angry they

might abandon ship should the u.k. government continue to deny scotland's right to choose we may reach the point where this issue does have to be tasty i am not ruling that we must focus firmly on building and winning the political case for independence persuaded to climb aboard with concessions northern ireland is watching events closely while naysayers have dared to suggest the captain is ready to surrender british sovereignty into washington's hands the signs are that this government is prepared to sacrifice our country's interests and values for short term political advantage on a sell out trade deal with donald trump. was foreign secretary he embarrassed this country and his prime minister he shows every sign of being prepared to sell it off when and if the u.k. find safe shore sometime somewhere it might be without the treasure it was once promised unless boris johnson finds his sea legs quickly x.

marks the spot for brags that booty we had from european law professor francesco to . the new web a political commentator or what exactly might be ahead for post bricks of worth of . where i'm trying as a transitional period to build up months now we still got to get down to the final deeds are all the trading arrangements and so on various a lot of faith being portrayed in. the cards really are are on the u.k.'s side because. the u.k. can leave without a deal at the end of the the say wishes so i mean it's not going to take me home the u.k. if that happens it's as much in the interests of the u.k. is it interests to actually have a deal so are you personally feel that the u.k. will be out at the end of the year there is no doubt in my mind that over the next

1012 months. there are going to these and they're a very difficult negotiations i don't think there's any possibility that even lawrence and conservative governments who clearly elements really want to move away from the you are going to sell out the united states let's not be too deluded about the extent to which america is going to replace the european union with ours our new partner in this marriage of convenience to boast that's not going to happen i don't think. the president of the palestinian authorities moment abbas has said he's cutting ties with the united states and israel came after donald trump but out of washington's long awaited peace plan for the middle east conflict. we inform you here that we are cutting all relations with you and with america we have said the same thing to america including security relations. well what was meant to bring an end to the

longstanding conflict in fact led to angry protests across the west bank and gaza that critics have dubbed the so-called deal of the century as one that benefits israel and israel my vision presents a win win opportunity for both sides was was was a realistic 2 state solution that resolves the risks of palestinian statehood to israel's security was was it's a great plan proves wrong. it's a great plan for peace was. this demonstrations i had to move out of the firing line as the israeli police

deployed tear gas now under the proposed plan palestine would get a capital in abu dis that's a cramped arab neighborhood on the outskirts of jerusalem policy or spoke with some of the residents living there. this doesn't look exactly like a capital city and yet its hero in the village of abu dis on the outskirts of east jerusalem that the american president wants the future capital of a palestinian state to be now not only has the issue divided israelis and palestinians but as you can see by the security barrier it's also divided palestinians from palestinians so on this side you have some of east jerusalem on the other side you have the rest of it and it's anyone's guess how a city like this well if a function as a capital. structure. or capital of palestine. or the people who are is just sort of start everybody think it's.

you know it's. one of the village in the town and we believe his 07 is a capital this is the parliament building here in abu dis now it's closed and it doesn't look like much but this is where presumably a future parliament will function from when trump says that this is a win win situation for both palestinians and israelis well it seems he's being cynical at best about acing and be able to want to make peace but they have to give us what they give israel you know the fear he doesn't give anything to. 0 here. and. he has not earned it for us he doesn't give us from us most of our lands but i think there must. and the people they have to hear our voice. i think this will lead everybody to the good to think and to conflict

together to say what we want to hear and the people here so want be appraising here don't be upset that key to the city of abu dis but when inhabitants here themselves are pessimistic as to the promise that it unlocks it's hard to understand why president trump is putting so much faith in it. r.t. apple juice earlier we spoke to the mayor of our booth himself. he says the old would do better looking at matters closer to home. we said joel is the capital of palestine and i would this is considered as a suburb of drawers of them we will not be brought there. from the historic city and we will always be a bar of the doors of them mr that is the president of the united to stay it.

he does in the business and the palestinian and his land is only for the live action. to the white house for the new. yeah he didn't nor palestine he didn't know anything he does come with this a bland for to really act to the old 1st for the new york for here he busted care for him and. for the for the or not that this did but then to britain the palestinian and the palestinians. because a virus outbreak has now claimed its 1st victim outside of china a chinese national in the philippines on thursday the world health organization declared an international health emergency it did make a point of commending china's efforts to combat the spread of the disease 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 now the world health organization also stressed that countries should avoid stigmatizing chinese nationals over the virus are too easy was not enough now looks at a spike in discrimination. 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 need 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 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 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 and 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 are you from 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 to klyce did what it does best made everything worse if we could all agree not to eat this. things like the corona virus in china wouldn't happen just seen. 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 i might claim 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 believe in this is

a country and killed thousands of indigenous people online jokes and 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 away from minus 2020 we should hope that our children won't have to deal with the same things that we had to deal with growing up and that really is the biggest concern and calls for self quarantine are being sounded 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 people are comparing this to the sars outbreak sars killed 44 people in this country 41 people in my city alone the city of herat now 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 70 some 800 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 window internalize those as miss right now and all of canada there have been 3 concerned 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. still to come a look back at the latest demonstrations in the french capital where a mass rally by firefighters turned vonne and some of the best pictures from that and the details after this short break. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by foreign person of those with.

a day or thinks. week here and to ask. you know world's big partners new models 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 truth the time is now watching closely watching the hawks. welcome back to the weekly protests have continued to grip france this week on tuesday thousands of firefighters were out in paris and yet again it is and then

it's a violent clashes with police. ok . it's a risky profession and they want to be back looks just like the police just give you a sense of what's going on here in paris where the firefighters have come from across france to try and get their food he says her it's up by the government they say that they likely need to massive recruitment troy need to see students because they say that the number of old loves they receiving is increasing every year and they

don't have the staff to cover it why are we protesting for 7 months because we've had no more spawns from the administration or from the government oh no but there are 2 problems firstly our work involves a high level of risk if i could and this should be factored in a. secure in 2010 to 2018 firefighters have faced an increase in the number of the able in physical attacks against them police colleagues get more because of the great a risk they face and we're demanding anything kriesel. demanded that we all facing a shortage of personnel that's coming because departments on having their budgets slashed. the city so in terms of attacks on the firefighters there are no specific figures just for them but they're all figures for all emergency crews that's fire fights his police offices and i believe it's working back in august of last year there's tax was said to just

a right would like with men. people claiming that there is a problem you ring 5 fighters with the police into a situation and then attacking them in fact there were some 110 assaults or attacks be recorded every single day you knew those attacks reached 23000 so that some of the reasons why the 5 like to say that they deserved to have a risk premium just like the police update on the streets again in paris hoping that this time. will be heard by the government. r.t. in paris. to afghanistan where a u.s. surveillance plane crashed in the province of guernsey on monday the taliban was quick to claim responsibility amid speculation that the top american cia and military commanders were among the victims. the special way to the american occupy

was fine and for the purpose of an intelligence mission in this side of the cow region of de yak district of gaffney progress i'll mujahideen have taken down the aircraft tactically of the pentagon has opened an investigation into the tragedy saying there is no indication the plane was downed it did confirm though that 2 officers lost their lives the area that the incident took place in is that largely controlled by the taliban military group the senior correspondent what i guess they are looks at how troops policies might have changed things in america is. what did they die for these men this is a war there's no hope of winning there are no illusions in the pentagon yet the 19 years they have said the lives of their own into the afghan grind.

trumps afghan strategy is simple and senseless ballman to hell literally in 2019 the pentagon dropped more bombs on afghans than in almost any given year in the last decade the tactic he wants peace so he does the opposite we are bringing in some of our troops back but we have to have a presence yes we're now going to be there for close to 19 years it's time to bring them home great nations do not fight endless wars before the next presidential election in the united states would you expect we were do so reduce their troops in afghanistan. that's my directive from the press the united states has been unambiguous and the endless wars are we looking for total. any. see the afghan war is

a blight all motion to it is an embarrassment all they have to show for 2 decades of war is alone least of dead americans dead civilians and the trillion dollars down the drain the only way to save face is to bury the truth the problem is there is a disincentive really to tell the truth we have created an incentive to almost require or for people to law there's an odor of mendacity throughout the afghanistan issue and i know congressman connelly has heard me talk about this years ago mendacity and who bruce as i said there are no illusions washington knows full well that it is so screwed that have got to stand is a lost cause that they messed up as revealed by the afghan war papers in which officials in these who so rare moment in which their honest would trying to do

here we didn't have the focus newson the would ruin the taking the risk of fundamental gap of understanding of the front end of the stated objectives and overreliance in the military and the lack of understanding of the resources necessary and that in the hubris the arab good to takes the more and more american troops to goo fight in a war that you know is a lost cause these hopeless donald trump has been saying for years he wants to get us out of afghanistan it doesn't seem to be doing that even though in principle he's the commander in chief he can give the order for them to leave and they will leave but i don't expect that to happen so i think unfortunately we're stuck there still were the foreseeable future there isn't a lot in the way of a coherent mission that stated for being in afghanistan of the 1st place except i would say that the mission or being an afghanistan is essentially to stay in afghanistan. a footprint in a very strategic piece of ground in the middle of eurasia that sandwiches both are

chinese and russian interests and that's the real purpose of being there the taleban perhaps respect that we're simply not about annoyance. exactly 77 years ago the bloodiest battle of world war 2 came to an end in what was a major turning point in the conflict of the nearly 200 days of fierce fighting the remaining nazis trapped in the city of stalin rad surrendered to the red army we spoke to veteran who was in the city about living on the edge of death during one of the worst battles in history. may show. courteney can tell you the kind of but of course. we were schoolboys when we boarded the boys and went to stirling grad they came from one country writers i wanted to finish high school and take up shipbuilding not only. can i believe we have not some very beautiful ship sailing along the volga here for you i don't.

get that. it's not by the by and it was never ending under the bombers you could see your enemy what could an order a soldier at the front expect he just had to fall you can believe if you were wounded it meant you hadn't been killed and.

then we proceed. we simply were not thinking about death like that we would have been killed if we were thinking about every new government of. up next max and stacey examined donald trump's electoral pleasure so tackle not being in front running but back in 30 minutes time with the latest. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to be rich.

but you going to be close it's like the full story in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters about how. things should. toughen finding another one of the. sway or both the food. bank itself move it see it on the plaza this way got so dog and so hard not to think of the mother disappeared this is the work of a coward and i know from the start that if. this is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights is moved away from. the floor lukens off the feet found his will to switch it on here drive home leave

it at the truth about. what i think is this is the funds that is all come food stuffs. welcome to frontrunning 2020 i'm max kaiser with stacy we're looking at the policies unless you.
