the u.k. set sail from the e.u. on its voyage but off to 47 years of cooperation there physically economic storms i'm new to me and scotland in with an island. of peace come it triggers violence donald trump accused of taking sides in the israel palestine conflict as the palestinian authorities cup ties on protests break out in the west bank. as fears keep the corona virus outbreak that is a reported spike and discrimination against chinese people and.

a french fry fight to strike tons ugly in paris where riot police resort to take us on the water canon. you're watching the weekly heroin out international well we recap the top headlines of the possibilities while. probably the biggest story of the week the u.k. has finally bit its fall while to the european union bringing to an end almost tof a century in the block on to an extended period of people following that historic referendum in 2016 but britain's new beginnings all without uncertainty as don't 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 massed 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 going to get going on here right now that we we we lived through it did not really want to write reviews because. i'm very excited for our future over and so you were very to make our own decisions i wrote those controlled i write migration policy very patriotic it's a real great failing and the captain's ready to steer them to a brighter future. stores in the end but a beginning the e.u. has evolved over 50 years and it got rich and the middle 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 make you feel. similar to what we have to you. know as we will be worse off by seeing the u.k. is. it's just 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 ascent i'll try to 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 have from here a pedestal classified cheska resume on to whether he's a political commentator on what life off to practice that might look like. where. transactional purdah build up months now we've still got to get down to the final detail 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 say wishes so i mean it's not going to take home the u.k. if it happens it's as much in the interests of the u.k. is it 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 some very very difficult negotiations i don't think there's any possibility that the lawrence conservative government who clearly elements really want to move away from you are going to sell out to the united states let's not be too deluded the extent to which america is going to replace the european union and sign a new partner in this marriage of convenience for birds that's

not going to happen i did and. now the big story the president of the palestinian authority that's what our past has said he's severing ties with both the united states and is well the announcement follows the release of the trumpet ministrations so-called peace plan which the palestinians say fails to respect that basic rights. 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. the release of the pound which the u.s. has said represents the palestinians last chance to have that own state triggered protests in the occupied territories as well as in jordan and touchy critics many of donald trump's the deal of the century would only serve to benefit israel my vision presents a win win opportunity for both sides was.

it was. a realistic 2 state solution that resolves the risk of palestinian statehood to israel's security because it was. it's a great plan for israel. it's a great plan for peace. a lot of these demonstrations i had to move out of the firing line as the israeli police deployed tear gas. under the proposed palace i would get a capital in this which is a crime but our neighborhood on the outskirts of jerusalem all teams point to see a spoke with some of the residents. this doesn't look exactly like a capital city and yet it's hero in the village of decent the outskirts of east

jerusalem that the american president who 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. you know it's. one of the village in the town and we believe a 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 you know what they give israel you know the fear he doesn't give anything to. be says he doesn't give us 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 to get to 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. apple juice. the current 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 law but made

a specific 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 douglas continues to have a confidence in china's capacity to control the outbreak the world health organization also stressed that countries should avoid stigmatizing chinese nationals over the virus artie's a course out of now look at a spike in discrimination. 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 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 order from earlier flu but tables turned 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 me the other day she dropped out 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 i have 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 through 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 eat 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 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 back in the colonial era what people literally believe 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 our 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 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 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 window internalize those as miss right now and 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 still ahead this hour a look back at the latest demonstrations in the french capital where a maserati by 5 fighters violent some the best pictures not out all the details in just a moment. excuse . me thank you. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going for him to let it be an arms race in his own spearing dramatic development only really

i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

welcome back and that's head straight to france because protests have continued to grip the country this week on tuesday thousands of foreign fighters were out in paris on yet again it descended into find a conscious with police. oh . it's 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 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 they likely need a massive recruitment troy's they need assistance because they say that the number of old lives 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 response from the administration or from the government there are 2 problems firstly our work involves a high level of risk and this should be factored in. security in 2010 to 2800 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 an increase also i did not get that we are facing a shortage of personnel that's partly 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 firefighters police offices and billets workers back in august of last year those attacks are said to switch to a right which is like with many. people claiming that there is a problem luring firefighters with the police into a situation and then attacking them in fact there were some 110 assaults or tacks been recorded every single day you throughout the year those attacks reached 23000 so that some of the reasons why the firefighters say that they deserve to have risk premium just like the police are paid there on the streets again in paris hoping that this time their voices will be heard by the government. r.t. in paris. the family of

a one year old russian boy has been trying to raise money to save his life maybe $2.00 more has a right condition on the trip when required just happens to be the most expensive in the world as mayor of the national reports. to more than just turned one 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 as he may without special medicine to more might never get the chance to blow 2 candles out on a birthday cake and this medicine is the most expensive drug in the world ever. the bill now is $2400000.00 they made a discount though it was $2.00 are my 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. 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 because of the rules 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 man around 50 percent less than multiple 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 large. investment costs it's very difficult for people to really know how much is actually return on investment and how much is just pure profit so i think we've got a bit of a broken system right now at 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 at last free where the prize is a child's life crisis of medicine at this level is a deeply worrying new reality for health systems right the way around the war and we know all that tracing 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 military 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 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. on monday the world remembers one of the most horrific chapters in history the holocaust journey the 27th marks the day when 75 years ago exactly the soviet army liberated the nazi death camp auschwitz the place where more than 1000000 people were brutally murdered.

what you guys will order more you to give up we had our temperature taken every morning other prisoners told us that offer this some might be banned in the crime it's oriya we didn't know what that meant if someone had a high temperature that was it they were gone the. morning show called that but when we arrived we didn't realize it was a camp we could snow burning we had smelled something similar before but here it was unusual acrid heavy after one question we drove the germans out of the village and came out onto a field huge fenced with wire around the perimeter behind us barbed wire there were

buildings like barracks we thought it was a german military base. level we were playing later we saw people behind the fences we were on a look because we didn't know who they were but they realized who we were and started making welcome signals with their hands. more publish anything to ensure we saw exhausted people they dropped themselves out because of the cold. somewhere in blankets or rags we paid attention to. their eyes a little warm we feel that they understood everything they understood that they were being liberated the hell that they had been kept and it was over for them.

the ambulance battalion began providing 1st aid to prisoners and the kitchens also came. with those who didn't see enough off to selection they put it in line and took us to the camp and that's it we thought they would burn us alive or shooters one day pops then 2 days and nobody came for 3 days we didn't know anything then suddenly they arrived in trucks put it in them and drove us to the railway station and we thought they were taking his to the crimean story and but then we saw the train. we were waiting for liberation. saved as we kept holding on to the end of my

clearest memories from when the soviet army came to liberators it was very moving we never thought we'd survive. well that's a wrap from now dot com has plenty more to tell us and many more stories i'll check out for now though it's one of our award winning documentary.
