one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america. the u.k. set sales from the e.u. on its post voyage 47 years of cooperation there are fears of economic storms on mutiny. on a. peace plan the trip has fallen trumps accused of taking sides in the israel palestine conflict as the palestinian authority's protests broke out in the west bank. and fears globally of the corona virus outbreak there's a reported spike in discrimination against chinese nationals.

the french. police resort to tear gas and water cannons. from moscow thanks for joining us on the weekend. now the u.k. has finally bit its farewell to the european union bringing to an end almost half a century in the block and an extended period of up people following that historic a friend of back in 2016 britain's new beginnings i want without uncertainty of course 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 when they'll 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 finally the country actually got together got on here and started now after we've we've lived through your book you want to write a review victory. i'm very excited for our future over and so you were there to make our own decisions i wrote those controlled i write migration policy very patriotic it's a real joy and the captain's ready to steer them to a brighter future. and but the beginning of the e.u. has evolved over 50 years and it got rich and the global suits this country but the other half is seasick and predicting and doom voyage for people to realize that if

. we would because of that it's good if you try to be very productive people take. similar to what we have you. know as we will be worse off by 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 piece 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 but 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 itself 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 heard from european law professor francesco to school tall anthony webber a political commentator on what you head for post britain. where ensuring transactional purdah build up months now we've 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. you can leave without free will at the end of the the year if it's

a wish is so i mean it's not going to protect me harm the u.k. if that happens it's as much in the interests of the u.k. is a interests to 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 be so and there is very difficult negotiations i don't think there's any possibility that even more conservative governments who clearly elements really want to move away from you are going to sell out the united states so 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 and convenience to boast that's not going to happen i don't think. the president of the

palestinian authority is mahmoud abbas has said he's cutting ties with the united states and israel came after donald trump 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 but what was meant to bring an end to the longstanding conflict in fact led to angry protests across gaza and the west bank that its 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 there was a realistic 2 state solution that resolves the risks of palestinian statehood to israel's security it was never

was it's a great plan for israel. 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. under the proposed plan palestine would get a capital in abu dis that's a cramped arab neighborhood on the outskirts of jerusalem r.t. force near 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 once 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 to have b.o.'s our 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 duracell 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 you know what they give israel you know the fear he doesn't give anything to some pieces he doesn't give us who take from us most of our lands they have to hear

our voice. i think this will lead everybody to the good to think and to conflict together say what we want to hear and the people here so want be uprising here don't be upset that key to the city of abu dis but when inhabitants hear 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. rights groups through have shown serious concerns over the details of trying to deal. with this bill is that is going to. enable actually act. and acts. which is. thousands of palestinians. is. this is all about regime of the russian law and the american administration is

saying that's ok you go ahead and that's the measure goes out this is what we do want to say where is the rest of you know voice what is the part of the united states already declared war in unison criminal court over its investigation to afghanistan it's examination situation in palestine it's put all these conditions you to. see the negotiations that are clearly meant as has all their actions over the past 3 years meant to produce a palestinian rejection that would pave the way for it is really. the corona virus outbreak has now claimed its 1st victim outside of china and chinese national in the philippines thursday the world health organization declared an international health emergency but it also 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 doug continues to have a confidence in china's capacity to control the outbreak well the world health organization also stressed that countries should avoid stigmatizing chinese nationals over the virus. that often are 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 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 and 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 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 read this. things like that corona virus in china wouldn't happen just seen just 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 i'm i'm 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 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 class people's everyday 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 kills 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 7 to be 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 risk right now and all of canada there have been 3 confirmed cases on a crowded 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 was off or at least one of the best pictures from that on the beatles coming up all right. let's talk about 20th century socialism this is when governments made mal investments and then they bailed out those mal investments until the economy went bankrupt versus 21st century capitalism this is when banks make malinvestment say when they go bad they bail out the mal investments and that cycle continues until

the economy goes bust and that's where our. good hope to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want. to go on to be pretty much like them before 3 of them want to get. interested in the water. there. program protests have continued to grip france this week on tuesday thousands of

firefighters were out and powerless and yet again the senate into violent clashes with police. oh. it's a risky profession and they want to be back she just like the police just give you a sense of what's going on here in paris where the fire fighters have come from across france to try and get their food he says her it's up by the government they say that the party needs to massive recruitment troy's need to see students because

they say that the number of old clothes 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 sponsors from the administration or from the government out of what are the 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 verbal and physical attacks against them police colleagues get more because of the great a risk they face and we're demanding anything kriesel side has demanded that we also facing a shortage of personnel that's currently because departments on having their budgets slashed. 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 site says police offices and i believe it's working back in august of last year

those attacks are 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 hear those attacks reached $23000.00 so that some of the reasons why the firefighters say that they deserve to have a risk premium just like the police are paid out on the streets again in paris hoping that this time. will be heard by the government. r.t. in paris. for one year old russian boy have been trying to raise money to save his life baby 2 more has a rare condition the trip require just happens to be the most expensive in the world has the details. see more than just turned one but most kids his age

would have taken their 1st steps by now but to more has and he can seat 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 smell is the most expensive drug in the world ever the bill now is $2400000.00 they made a discount though 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. 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 that when u.s. regulators approve 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 orgasmatron 50 percent less than multiples stablished benchmarks including the 2 in 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 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 is 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 at last free where the prize is a child's life price of medicines at this level is a deeply worrying new reality for health systems right where on word and we know all that increasing numbers of drug companies are charging these very excessive prices and if we don't do something about them then it's going to cause this to do inability 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 s.m.a. 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. r.t. from moscow. 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 after nearly 200 days of fierce fighting the remaining germans trapped the city of solid growth surrendered to the red army we spoke to a 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 firsthand about our horse. we were schoolboys when we have ordered the boys and went to stunning grad they gave me thanks what i dream riders of years if 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 you forget i don't follow. that described by the way it was never ending under the bomb 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.

somewhere boss. near pneumonia we simply were not thinking about death like that we would have been killed if we were thinking about it and every look of relief. up next that sort of worker breaks down trumps deal of the century in worlds. live. television propaganda machine propaganda outlet propaganda tools we are in an

information war. the can change the world tomorrow. we send out you tube videos the sleepless nights should a missile launchers network all the. pressure brushes russia russia russia today's. military there which means russia to live and i really have to join to see you then on our team. who are so proud and still. are just getting the numbers. why have you not shut down our t.v. on you tube it's

a propaganda machine mr walker. hello and welcome to worlds apart albert einstein is often credited for defining insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result this is a sound showing the argument behind the trumpet ministrations deal of the century aimed at proving and on to these really palestinian conflict is the american president indeed insane or is he perhaps a genius for breaking with default framework but to discuss that i'm now joined by

asio and former deputy israel's national security council to ask you and it's good to talk to you thank you very much for your time. great to be here thanks for inviting me now when dealing with bombastic and south aggrandizing people it's a it's a natural tendency in all of us to devalue or downplay the significance of what they're saying or what they're doing and both donald trump and ban jim in that media whore are i'm better a bully they in the times i think of with agree on that but putting that aside don't you think that trump and his team deserve a credit for at least trying something new yes so i would give them credit for trying i would argue that they're probably at least as far as trump is concerned are not. shall we say motivated by the purest of intentions

one might say that you know purity usually is not part of international relations of the.
