more than 100 people are feared dead pakistani passenger jet crashes into a residential area. that was coming into the city's international airport. coming up in the program the u.s. quits another major arms control treaty. primarily to avoid conflict between washington and moscow with this week's announcement sending shock waves around the world and it concerns are rising global instability. could result in the stabilising activities such as a dangerous new arms race leading to possible miscalculations. but it's going.

to get a. break said party leader nigel cuse is the french navy of a scorching illegal migrants directly into british waters amid a sharp spike in numbers trying to cross the street. from moscow to the world this is r t international your company in. our top story more than 100 people are feared dead after a plane crash in pakistan pakistan international airlines jet came down just before landing main port a little earlier on friday the air bus a 320 crashed into a heavily populated area media reports claim there are 2 survive. a verse from.

the locals are also said to have been rescued from the rubble of the site but some people are feared dead on the ground spokesperson for the airline confirmed there were $170.00 people in total on board the plane had been. flying from the who are located right on the other side of the country give me some reaction on the latest earlier pakistan affairs expert. was for. all recently it was a very popular and. 5 people from these deputies and obviously those are there. they have. obviously. more people. that could has as good

as it should have been but not as bad as some people tried to portray these going to be good all of the box and international particularly has more. it is a primarily because of the fact there has been in financial crisis since long. being still the government has more energy but in this particular case i was told that this was not only it appears to be a sort of technical forward. to more world news the u.s. has announced it is ripping off another major arms control agreement called open skies raising fears about global security the treaty how the large signatories to make recognizance flights over each other's territories. russia is to blame for forcing washington a plane that's not 'd well with moscow. i think we have

a very good relationship with russia but russia didn't adhere to the treaty so until they are here we will pull out but there's a very good chance we'll make a new agreement or do something to put that agreement back together when the consequence of the americans the current administration and conceptually fundamentally have an aversion to any kind of control over american military activity especially when that control is exercised on or over u.s. territory solution with other countries follow the americans i doubt it mr european seem to me to understand that the agreement has added value as an instrument of trust an instrument of predictability transparency and that is how we see it what we see in this time and time again from the top administration the president has never been shy and carrying up longstanding international treaties whether that's the paris climate agreement or the iran new kit deal and very often the pretext

given is that the conditions have been violated by someone other than the u.s. of course and this latest story got america is indeed with joran from the open skies treaty very neatly fit. in as moscow's drawn attention to. unfortunately it fits the policy of the us administration and undermining old agreements in the sphere of arms control but it's not just russia is consigned by this of course the open skies treaty is a major crucial one a state of the arms control and it ensures transparency trust and peace between staci 5 countries as that wanted out to conduct a nod to the constant slight each of those territories so the other case they can treat this is a massive trail they see this as still a hugely beneficial course that must be kept alive at all costs it's probably on surprising that this decision was met by the international community with a great deal of concern and of course fat that it could well deal and major blow to

the security we reiterate our concern regarding the erosion of the us russia arms control regime i think we can stress enough that this arms control regime has provided security benefits for the entire its entire international community by constraining strategic arms competition ending such agreements without anything to replace them could result in destabilizing activities such as a dangerous new arms race leading to possible miscalculation. i very much regret the announcement by the u.s. government that it intends to withdraw from the open skies treaty the treaties an important part of the european arms control architecture by withdrawing the united states would significantly reduce the scope of the open skies treaty and weaken the whole regime the us government's decision will take effect after 6 months during this time we will work intensively with their allayed mind and partners to make the

us government withing their decision the us withdrawal from the open skies treaty comes despite the feelings of the international community and china deeply regrets that this step by the united states together with recent action is to withdraw from a series of treaties is a return to cold war thinking a policy of unilateral action so clearly many see this as another step by washington towards instability and in not diluted by donald trump she just had to restrictions on that us let's not forget of course that last year donald trump withdrew the u.s. from a soviet era misao agreement that's the iron actually chief justice was saying now that to you he pointed the finger at russia and that pull triggers there's also a new arms race and of course the out the shocking with the trumpet ministration from the iran in new zealand to. iran of course and all that despite widespread fears that it could cause and not the war in the middle east perhaps when it didn't

but shortly afterwards they started straggling iraq with sanctions so this is a clear policy from the donald trump government and one that does not seem particularly d. it towards peace and stability while stateside somehow voice support in the decision saying america doesn't need the open skies to be can get the same image at a lower cost satellite rather than act but that isn't actually a widespread consensus on. this administration moves forward with a precipitous unilateral withdrawal from the treaty the united states will be less safe and secure. open skies remains the only ability to get direct access to russian airfields and airspace and every experienced operational commander knows all too well the satellites simply can't do it all so that is a lot of criticism from all sides swelling around this new announcement that also sutton administers of barry as potentially happening there is some push by congress at the moment they might even need to sign off on it so we'll be following to see

how that all plays out but regardless this latest move from washington really and not the example of donald trump seemingly until my next global stability and opening up a new uncertain tapped and both arms control and of course in u.s. russia the nations ahead of a crisis research institute mark ullman fears washington's move could destabilize the world. there's an assumption that you know her new phrases not just with russia but also particularly china trying to see if elephant in the room from the one to washington that american extra loony to force the other side to a nice to concrete military i'm not sure that's what would happen so although the americans have some grounds for saying that the existing arms control agreements which they pleaded with drawing from don't take account of china and therefore increasing your will. they are the same trying to or actually i suspect making

situation much less stable and their own interests much less secure all. washington's foreign policies are improving overly popular elsewhere in the world too with china once again the target in a move which could see it barred entry into u.s. stock markets more and not later in the program. there is a storm brewing a political one in the english channel u.k. brigs a party leader nigel for has accused the french navy of a scorching illegal migrants into british waters it comes after a sharp spike in numbers trying to cross the sea amid the cold but 100 break with more charlotte devinsky. the battle of bull the control of the english channel or if you prefer a lot more she's been raging between britain and france for centuries but things that really just go to be taught at the leader of the one british political party

has a keenest froze up their system with an invasion of illegal my points what we know . is an approach noble battle has been stated it's gone. out of right borders to get it in the british borders. that accusation comes at a time when illegal crossings are on the rise more than $1000.00 fight. 100 have already been detected attempting to reach a shores in the 1st 5 months of this year that's getting close to the number of the entire it's really trying to back in 2019 years almost half of the arrivals since the start of the u.k.'s lock down at the end of march as fuel trucks were crossing in between the 2 countries migrants of now turned to the sea many of those trying to cross our parent the unaccompanied youths what we used to see was that

those young people would come through lorries and that was the typical route now what we've seen is these unaccompanied young people or in the drug nigel farrar she says the situation is outrageous so the big guns mobile missile now has gone done their job they brought a school but little dinky on the left there the british borders they now left their own rib of the big vessel just to make sure they're safe until the handover to the border falls however there is plenty of evidence to show that french patrol boats are in fact stopping migrant vessels from leaving french waters last week 17 migrants were rescued at sea and brought back to the port of cali by a patrol boat that's already had quite a busy year there also ongoing discussions between the u.k. and french government system how to deal with this issue the brits want to bring in new legislation which would mean that any illegal migrants that apprehended on the

sea or even on the land will be deported back to france meanwhile the u.k.'s home secretary pretty patel has admitted that the french don't have the easiest of jobs at the moment we're using drones we're using helicopters we're using night vision goggles you name it we're using it the issue that we have is that the amount of beach speace that is being. it is the past in france and this is the criminal gangs are using all sorts of tactics some covert some other urt more than 10 people smugglers have convicted and imprisoned since the beginning of this year but as long as there are people who can pay them they will continue to carry out their an equal trade whether that stuffing migrants on to or into the back of her freight you're a kid trucks what doesn't change that it is that people's lives are always being

put in danger. he writes we have contacted the french interior ministry to get its response its reaction to the issue we'll bring you it when they get back to us. still ahead. the biggest daily spike in chrono virus cases globally has been reported by the world health organization about us it renews that warnings about the use of a controversial anti-malaria drug it's a form of treatment not story for you in about 90 seconds.

it appears a new cold war is in play this time we should get china what are the terms of engagement what does it mean to win this. is all out war how did the u.s. and its allies find themselves in the city. just

coming up to 60 minutes past the hour welcome back the world health organization has reported the highest number of confirmed coronavirus cases in one day since the start of the outbreak last year that says the number of infections globally surpassed 5000000 the countries with the most confirmed cases are currently u.s. russia brazil and the u.k. and while the race for affective treatment is all the w.h.o. has warned against the use of the anti malaria medicine hydroxycut or acquit which has been targeted and used by president trump lot of good things have come out about the hydroxy a lot of good things have come out and you'd be surprised at how many people have taken it especially the frontline workers before you catch it. the frontline workers many many are taking it i happen to be taking it i happen to be take it. w h o's recommendations seem to have fallen on deaf ears in brazil where they government

has recommended the use of the drug to treat covert 19 patients that's led to queues and pharmacies are real causing a drastic shortage of stock the country has been hard hit by the virus with more than 20000 dead said tributed to its. we heard from dr margaret horace who is part of the w h o's covert response team about the progress being made in the fight against the virus. testing tracing tracking treating the full pillow you have to know where your virus is you have to know who's got it and you've got it we have to separate those people from the healthy people people need to be aware that they need to identify themselves as potential risk so it's not just simply having teams it's also having the community there are you aware of what's going on and how they can help. and antibody

test gives you a number and it says you have got this level of a particular antibody and there are 3 different types of anybody's one of them tells you you've had it recently another one says that you've developed cell phone a longer lasting response to it but what it doesn't tell you is whether the longer lasting response will protect you from the 2nd in fiction. the term that really needs to be used all the time here is. that slowly and gently you test the waters you try different things and ensure that when you've tried different things your limiting the crowding and you are absolutely obsessional about the hand hygiene absolutely obsessional about there is fear of trip protection if one time a new thing is planned like opening schools all those things have to be put into consideration. we know it came from the horse you bet but we believe there is an intermediate host and we want to understand better the dynamics

that led to it jumping from that intermediate host into the human population now that work is ongoing there are still a lot of don't know this but remember this new virus arrived in our population at the end of last year and we're not even halfway through this year so we actually know more than we ever have known about a new virus in human history. a story starting to get quite a bit attraction washington has accused china of seeking a geo political and economic confrontation with the u.s. in a scathing policy paper that also singles eyed bidding for its quote or authoritarian moves that document puts another dent in an already battered relationship with some saying it could bring about the start of a new type of cold war kill up and picks up the story the anti china has syria is growing latest move is the u.s. senate approving legislation that would ban chinese companies from being listed on

u.s. stock exchanges and raising money from american investors i would not turn my back . on the chinese communist party. if they were today's day and they cheat and i've got a bill to stop them from cheating u.s. leaders blame china for the coronavirus terms latest tweets go as far as accusing china of mass killing around the world this while china has just ledge $2000000000.00 to the global efforts against the pandemic hoping to increase international cooperation china will provide $2000000000.00 u.s. dollars over 2 years to help with the covert 19 response and with economic and social development in affected countries especially developing countries one u.s. leaders slammed the move saying it was not. in the south china sea contributions to fight in the pen demick are poetry compared to the cost that they have imposed on

the world this plague has cost roughly 90000 american lives for the 36000000 americans have lost their jobs since march globally 300000 lives could be as much as 9 trillion dollars according to our estimates cost imposition on the world by the chinese communist party failures as rhetoric gets cranked up phrases like cold war are being thrown around a look we are really on a cold war footing when it comes to dealing with china and other things we can use in foreign policy sanctions and other things diplomatic economic i think we're entering a new cold war in many ways we have to be honest in call we call this what it is and that this is the start of a new cold war i don't want to have a cold war with china. i would rather see us. work together. for the common good. of the planet earth. and we traveled that had morphed out real

well u.s. media seems to be following the same script speculations about how far this will go keep popping up some say this will be disastrous for the global economy others are placing bets on winners and losers chinese leaders in turn are saying that they want peace and dialogue even to millions ocean accord usually both sides benefit from cool corruption and stand to lose in confrontation decoupling and deal in canoes not civilians with we urge the us to discuss the outdated cold war mentality and 0 something can do beijing's calls are falling on deaf ears new polls show that one in 3 americans now use china as an enemy instead of a global community unite to defeat the pandemic we're now seeing blame and polarization rising very quickly the stereotype in a certain sense where china is this evil genius. that is capable of creating this this pathogen that invades and destroys america and trump even characterizes as an

attack that eclipses pearl harbor. but at the same time you know there is contrast to the narrative that china is unable china didn't do a good job managing it get this combination of evil genius and completely inept illegitimate government is really just operated opportunistically trying to exploit any kind of negative narrative that can be imagined and promoted as a conspiracy theory finally you know to distract others from failures in these cases that his central operating principle is to blame others although i don't think we can really have a cold war like before i think people are imagining it and pushing us toward something like it. so it's deeply worrisome. yes obviously the pandemic has brought about much change around the world now and it seems that applies to people's thinking as well

a new survey has shown germans no longer think relations with washington are as crucial. moreover people are increasingly prioritising links with china the findings come despite repeated claims from the trumpet ministration stating that corona virus originated and. if you see anything at this point that gives you a high degree of confidence that they would have instituted was the origin of this virus. we don't have certainty and there is significant evidence that this came from the laboratory the statements can both be true i've made them both administration officials have made them they're all true we have a lot of information and it's not good but you know the worst of all whether it came from the lab or came from that surrogate it all came from china. should be pointed i thought a recent german intelligence report reportedly cast. america's claims it sees the

accusations were a deliberate attempt to divert public attention away from mr trump's failure to the crisis. we decided to find out for ourselves what people in berlin think washington's current political course. it's great. seeing mr trump to the 1st are they handling it at all. 3 countries doing things the right way at the moment so i think it's too late we handled it better than they have started out catastrophic lee and in the end they are only looking to someone abroad to blame instead of tackling the problem themselves. no no no no there are no arguments and no knowledge for that it's just that he said if the. she know how china has made a big mistake hiding that but we have to stick together and not blame china. we

have to look at the united states response as well because that has been lacking but it's also our job to look at what china did to do in india investigation an independent investigation but to totally play in china i think it's it's not enough i don't think the question of blame is of any use for anybody. i do think it's possible but i don't think it's like that i don't think they did it on purpose i don't believe that if anybody would tell me that's the case i wouldn't believe it because i've heard otherwise on the news. so you know from liberal to solve from the way that it was there is no proof at all that it happened this this time. for pretty much all of us the pun demick turn life on its head we've been forced to stay in our homes and constantly wash our hands except but it's also seemingly divided society into new groups has been breaking down the boundaries. that used to be all left versus right or pro or anti e.u.

or us so whatever else but nowadays society is split along our only different set of coded fault lines here are 5 coronavirus try which one is your. first stop is the amount of. this group leave their houses and they all super proud of all the good that they're doing they also tend to happen because thousands on them are just gardens and actual jobs which they can do from something called a study they are fantastic and then let you know it with all those social media posts that they do you have their beautiful house kids slash lunch with the stay home hash tag sometime. next up and he looks down on you he does not. stuff like he's just a nose to cold or grandad was going to die anyway however they justify it by just not interested in letting

a quote fascist government limit their freedoms you find them protesting angrily for their right to have a beer and a haircut and after that you'll find them in the hospital on a ventilator recovering from a nasty cold. hypocrites who discombobulating mix of lead remaining. looked down as mug her signallers will keep up the facade of following all the rules while also carrying out her shopping for the specialties 3 times a day or casually driving to their weekend home or meeting up with their girlfriend . next clicks on calls include scotland's former chief magic former top adviser to the owner just. anyone in power. yes it's this. neighbors and they spend all day long you really scary out of the window just dreaming as we live but as soon as you leave the house to buy you want wherever you

are they will help the police make sure that frankly look. finally this money group would be complete without the conspiracists are the people who think that the $19.00 is just a bill gates plan to get everyone to buy windows $27.00 although the government is just trying to wipe out and she is all fine she is down in the virus straight into your brain and impressive 2 seconds as long as your cell plan is up to date whatever the theory as long as there is no proof they'll tell you about it but. keeping an eye out for all of us while we are watching the hawks in moments are right after the hour for all the latest news all dates from r t u k will of course also continue to bring you the stories about mater on our social media channels to check them out when you have time to stay safe.
