russia's top diplomat tells his western counterparts at the munich security conference that it's time to seek common ground or they must stop trying moscow as an existential threat. european officials meanwhile warn of the west's political fragmentation but the u.s. secretary of state insists he sees no threat to the current global order. pentagon digital defense contractor hangs in the air after wasn't challenges the way the multibillion dollar deal was awarded to. the board of france's equivalent of the oscars quit over director roman polanski sweeping the nation as despite still being wanted in the us for statutory rape we find out if actions speak. to united artists and man he's an

adult so he should assume the consequences of his actions i believe the story of polanski is ridiculous it's existed for 30 or 40 years don't they have anything to do except. live from moscow thanks for joining us on r.t. international welcome to the program. russia's foreign minister has used his address at the year's munich security conference the call for went with the west said that moscow's international partners have long sought to portray it as a grave threat and argue that they need to stop invoking the russian phantom with the details. so to get allow for all of the russian foreign minister he gave a very quick fire address to the munich security conference he started off by talking about what russia sees as attempts to rewrite history of world war 2

speaking as we approach of course the 75th anniversary of the end of that conflict he went on to say that the spirit of alliance is as important today between russia and the west as it was 75 years ago between the then soviet union and the west he did say that when it came to improving relationships with europe as some european leaders have been speaking about iraq this year's security conference there remained what mr lavrov called a crisis of confidence that is the u.s. would be most of us are sure it's a crisis of trust is being felt particularly strongly in european affairs escalating tensions as nato is a military infrastructure advanced eastwards the unprecedented scale of military exercises close to the russian borders the inflating of defense budgets beyond all possible measure its all of this generates unpredictability the confrontational dynamics of the cold war have been recreated the more it sees one of those world

leaders talking about improving ties between europe and russia was france is a money when my call early on saturday he was also speaking out about his idea to get more autonomy for europe when it comes to defense so that european nations could be able to act independently of the united states in more yup all new to the point that we can see that there is a certain weakening of the west that has been observed 15 years ago we thought of arnie's would be universal values that would always ruled world i think we're facing the hour of truth here we have a lot in common with the united states freedom and so on so this is why we fight to give a numerous was but is not quite what america wants we need to develop our own strategy . well representing the united states is interests with secretary of state mike pompei oh he rejected out of hand claims that its western nations role on the international stage needs to evolve happy to report that the death of the

transatlantic alliance is grossly over exaggerated. the west is winning we are collectively winning the west is winning freedom and democracy are winning or winning the west will win let's keep out let's keep winning state my pompei oh and secretary of defense mark aspect i think quite a bit of china bashing while they were at the podium here in munich they were later followed to that same podium by the chinese minister of foreign affairs one year he described those claims by the united states as well lies and not backed up by any facts hard to see those 2 delegations sitting down for dinner tonight in munich but the still a lot to come here at the munich security conference and continue into sunday we're expecting libya to fall into focus on the ongoing crisis in that country course all the news that comes from that i'll be bringing you here on r.t. the french president also offered his thoughts on the economic penalties imposed on

russia beginning in 2014 and identified several areas where there's scope for greater cooperation with moscow. i don't think we should lift the sanctions because i'm just saying that the sanctions and counter sanctions didn't really work out we europeans suffer as much from the sanctions as the russians do do in our strategic dialogue with russia you must take the opportunity to frozen conflicts and address cyber issues and talk about space and the militarization of space we also need to be able to talk about addressing conflicts like syria i'm not pro russian or anti russian i'm just pro european if you look at the geographic facts we need to build a security architecture based on mutual trust. certainly europe has to open talks to all powers in the world is the only way to exist so to china russia and the united states and be a sort of

a neutral police dealing with all these larger powers now we are not in this division of west and the rest and a sort of imposition of international order the stone the agreements of alpha this is all over the world these multi-polar there are powers which are reclaiming their role like china and russia. at the same level like the western countries so this is something difficult for the european union to each is to redefine its reason to exist and it's. now one of the biggest visual defense contracts in american history has been put on ice online retail giant that was an attack on the pentagon in court after washington gave a $10000000000.00 deal to rival microsoft but also talk is donald trump was biased in his decision against that wasn't supreme jeff bezos and a feud between them stretching back to trump's 1st presidential campaign. he wants

political influence so that amazon will benefit from it if i become president oh do they have problems they're going to have such my view is that's not an appropriate way for a presidential candidate to behave they're using the washington post for power so that the politicians in washington don't tax amazon like they should be taxed finally tracked by donald trump will still reserve him a seat on the blue origin rocket send donald to space so sorry to hear about the news about jeff bozo being taken down by competitors reporting i understand is far more accurate than the reporting in his lobbyist newspaper the amazon washington post. at the end of last year as i stressed the importance of the military project with the pentagon but as scale i'm open report sees now during the deal one biomarker soft. remember when jeff bezos called out his tech rivals for not stepping up to the plate when the country needs protecting and my view is if big

tech is going to turn their backs on the department of defense this country is in trouble this is how we're going to do it we are going to support the department of foods this country is important the silicon valley tech giants love to walk hand in hand with the pentagon but their employees not so much google workers protested a program using artificial intelligence for drones and microsoft employees have voiced their concerns about a $10000000000.00 contract with the pentagon to offer cloud services but lucky enough for the department of defense amazon led by jeff bezos america's richest man has stepped up to the plate they say amazon is happy to do business with the pentagon we're going to continue to support the duty this is a great country and it does need to be defended so it turns out that when amazon didn't get that contract 8 and microsoft got it instead they as ows was angry he

took it to court citing bias from donald trump the preservation of public confidence in the nation's procurement process requires discovery and supplementation of the administrative record particularly in light of president trump's order to screw amazon the question is whether the president of the united states should be allowed to use the budget of the department of defense to pursue his own personal and political ends but the irony is that jeff bezos with his legal action as double crossed the very same entity he swore to protect as a result of the lawsuit the entire program which the pentagon says is necessary for national security has been put on a hold the military brass is unhappy we're disappointed in the ruling and believe the actions taken in this litigation have unnecessarily delayed implementing department of defense's modernization strategy. deprived our war fighters of a set of keep abilities we need the u.s.

department of defense says it will lose $5.00 to $7000000.00 every month the program is the lead users changing is opinion in a way that serves as pocketbook is not necessarily or may serve a spark a book is not particularly a surprise i think there's a debate to be had on the degree to which these social media tech companies and search companies are able to sway the assuage problem opinion change public opinion restrict debate these are big issues that i think the balance when people think about it are there's going to be a drive i believe a populist drive to lessen the power of big tech the cuts across the political spectrum well apparently for the world's richest man the country only needs national security protection when he's getting a share of the defense budget kaleb up and r.t. new york. and there's been a major plot 2 is that the french equivalent of the oscars the entire season our academy has quit just 2 weeks before this year's glittering ceremony for paris

correspondent shot to do in ski has the details. this year's award season has been plagued by allegations from a lack of diversity in the candidates we've been using that has had over the last couple years aspect oscar so why this year the oscars they have a new house a oscars wider than ever do a lack of the fairer sex hollywood is stuck in the 1970 s. the criticisms a may have been like water off a duck's back of the boards of the british and american academies but here in france they take it it's hot 2 weeks before the french oscars are due to take place in top board has resigned to honor those men and women cinema happened in 2019 to find call and ensure that the festival film remains just that a festival the board has an animist we decided to resign this collective decision will allow complete renewal of the board this is

a new name here in france have come under fire off it was revealed the convicted child rapist and fugitive from the us justice system polanski topped the nominations list the director who fled to france in the 1970 s. received the nords for his historical drama but. she says she. told the composer. the film has received rave reviews from the critics and even had a standing ovation to its premiere at the venice film festival the feminist groups have picketed some of those primaries after they found out that if this is up they would be religious to celebrate an abuser like polanski is to support the system of a punitive for male violence and silence the voices of the victims the riaa would then deepened when hundreds of actors directors movie produces and personalities demanded profound changes the same academy they were unhappy off to

a female director and a female writer with. in open letter to the academy they denounced it as being dysfunctional with the screws tightening the board took the decision to disband but even that decision has come under fire imagine what happens next new college of voters with all male self-esteem opacity and sexism who will eventually stop cheering the rapist peter criminals on the run so how has it gone down here in paris but is a film more important than those who make it it's the same with you if i believe the story of polanski is ridiculous it's existed for 30 or 40 years don't they have anything to do except protest is there nothing else in france now really. more star in my opinion the 2 figures are united artists and men he's an indulged so he should assume the consequences of his actions. this is to me this is

a board resigned rate for them and maybe these resignations can fix the issues and this is what i'm hoping for the actors the artists for the directors for everyone. but you think he has an artistic side beyond comparison with other artists from to human point of view it's not good what he did but it's past and we can't mix the aspects. britain is in danger of slipping into a dystopian society that's the warning from the judge after he ruled on the case of a former police officer investigated for posting allegedly transferred over to. the effect of the police turning up at his place of work because of his political opinions must not be underestimated to do so would be to undervalue a cardinal democratic freedom in this country we have never had a check a star or a star city we have never lived in a well in society. well the case came about after

a transgender woman reported tweets by 55 year old harry miller police came to see him up work and he was told that his post would be recorded as a crime hate incident one officer apparently told him i'm here to check your thinking mr miller took the case to the u.k. high court where the judge ruled that police this reportedly interfered with his right of freedom of expression is what harry had to say after the decision. this is a watershed moment for liberty the police were wrong to visit my workplace wrong to check my thinking. and the police say they've taken on board the judge's criticism while in a separate claim the court rejected mr miller's why did challenge to ensure the lawfulness of policing garlands on hate crimes almost $120000.00 non-crime hate incidents have been recorded in england and wales in the past 5 years may show up to a criminal record checks john galt a talk radio host and columnist believes that it's not for authorities to police

people's thoughts. these thoughts crimes are going too far he is wrong to describe it as a no where you state remember this policeman came to this man's place of work who said i've come to check you'll think because if you keep going down this route little says you could end up committing a hate crime 120000 people have had similar experiences it is not the p.c. job to police folks it is the police's job to take on board criminal i'm real criminal activity i'm but those people before a court of 12 good men and. the she says she should never be the judge and jury and we certainly should really get in a criminal record for just having a political thought which maybe isn't helped but of the people. still ahead the south side china cries foul accusing washington of playing.

with a whole new set of criminal allegations reports to this. so

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this spear in dramatic development only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. the program a scandal scandal even airlines is facing a backlash over its latest advert which the bunk some of the region's cultural icons pointing to the fact that in fact. what is truly scandinavian.

absolutely nothing. what nonsense and self-hatred always try to fly with us but never again that's a promise i have always flown with sas a lot but i would have a bad taste in my mouth if i did it again because they specialise like that well the airline defended its commercial saying the main message was to inspire people to travel more but after getting tens of thousands of dislikes on its you tube channel it eventually relent and pull a video only to a place for hours later with an updated version the company says it was pressured by the online attacks it has said that the film has been misunderstood that some have chosen to misinterpret our message and use it for the purposes the pattern of commonsense number of reactions on social media channels indicates that our complain is being attacked. or we ask people in gothenburg in sweden about the

things they think represent their country. skinnerian meatballs i hear. made balls and. our food is absolutely. not really. we are you the way used by many on the cause but i still believe. in essence we have. an old cultural like us before and think we have something that's just swedish our i think that's completely wrong there is absolute diskin liviu of things. china is accusing the united states of the liberally forcing its companies out of the global market as washington ramps up the pressure on telecom giant to our way with 16 new charges including conspiracy

to steal trade secrets. the us has been misusing its national power to oppress chinese companies with no proof of any wrongdoing such practice is disgraceful and immoral and it is beneath the status of the us as a major country or u.s. prosecutors allege that hallway has engaged in systematic campaign to steal intellectual property from at least 6 u.s. companies since 1909 they also claim staff were encouraged to actively obtain sensitive information from competitors including codes and manuals and other fresh charges were made under a federal law which has been historically used to prosecute mafia members has a long been under pressure from the trumpet ministration which is accused of spying on behalf of beijing however while he has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing it's also said the latest charges are without merit suggesting the united states is simply trying to remove a serious competitor and despite that u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi doubled down on the american allegations. china is

seeking to exploit its digital autocracy through its telekinesis telecoms and giants while threatening economically tell the nation against those who deny. their technology. is the most insidious form of anger aggression says a major development that's going to have far reaching implications very clear that that trump administration the department of justice wants to implicate huawei broadly as a criminal organization and one has to ask what what are the what are the broader implications does that mean if it's part of the chinese government is the u.s. claims that the chinese government is a criminal organization or they if you do business with weiwei that you are doing business with a criminal organizations what we're looking at here is is a new step forward in terms of great power competition or a cold war 2.0 or decoupling what are the implications for these major global

companies that are doing business in china in other words the united states coffee makes allegations that the chinese tradition here is highly politicized what happens if it becomes tit for tat it could have a very compelling. outcome for both you know the international level but at the at the economic level in terms of the specific industries. now while russia repeals a full year ban from the olympics and global sport to biathlon athletes the sport that combines cross-country skiing and russell shooting have been found guilty of doping violations by sports international body but also this has the details. well russia's biathlete says that long a slip and you have guinea to go have been both handed to you year bans from sport despite the fact that they have already been retired for several years by the way these to athletes they have won olympic gold medals during their careers now

this is the 2nd siam that's the pair have been accused of doping violations and they were cleared back in $28.00 seen on the same charges however the case was reopened in february this month here's an official statement from the international biathletes union the anti duping hearing at the international last one union has issued its decision in the cases of russian blasphemies who were charged with anti doping revile asians based on analytical findings recorded in the most your laboratory information management system database in respect to sometimes connected from them in 2013 you get used to go phone was found guilty of using as steroids in the season 2030 minutes once a year for its even you will now have to relinquish his olympic gold medal that he won in tsotsi in 2014 now with this new ruling russia lost its

1st place in the official medals sally had its 114 olympic winter games in sochi and now moved to 3rd behind canada and norway not that long a slipped solo who's also been a retire from sport for quite a while was also handed year ban for doping violations in the same period as. however so it will not be stripped of her gold medal as she wanted back at the vancouver olympic winter games in one c. now both athletes will will now have 3 weeks to appeal the decision at the court for betrayed for sports and russia's biathlon union. i have already commented on this situation as well saying that they 1st need to examine all the new information before they will let us know what their next move will be meanwhile guinea golf already commented on the situation as well saying that he will appeal this decision

this morning i received the i.b.u. onside open panel's decision i'm not surprised lawlessness means lotus notes i've been living this way for 6 years i'm not surprised that in 2018 the i didn't dope but that this has happened again i will fight to be and i've already gone to the austrian quote i will go to any other so i will show who's right i will insist on a public trial on the participation of journalists once again both of these by athletes have been retired from the sport for a few years already and are now no longer part of russia's biathletes union what that could mean is that they could face the entire appeals ordeal on their own. next thought the doc explores historical promises of the ukrainian crisis for u.k. viewers it's a no. i

don't trust medical authority at all ever and there isn't for that as i had this horrible autonomy just sort of growing up and then it turns out it was completely alleviated with very drastic dietary measures and i went to a number of doctors to discuss what happened to me and i was basically laughed at like died as not me without i mean a starter's cell. my suggestion to people who have health issues they can't figure out if they're going to see a medical professional and they've been going for 10 years and they're still in the same place they should probably take it upon themselves to start testing things out testing out diet testing out exercise and try and figure out things on their own.

this is a pretty you would know to move through it in your circles not just you. and you can do for when you look for clues a little would have made it easier to do it with a. look. at. the point in good order to produce your order in the eastern seaboard you know most interesting. cities. that dan. would hold his hands to you should. be put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president one should. want to be rich.
