words can kill the brigades now officially part of the british army where one regiments is told to use inclusive language to avoid any casualties but. either thanks for joining us this is r.t. international. the russian foreign ministry says that the u.s. bears full responsibility for the deterioration in relations and after washington imposed fresh sanctions against moscow russia says it now has no choice but to retaliate. but there again as you there but such aggressive behavior will undoubtedly meet fam resistance every sponsor the sanctions will be inevitable washington has to understand that there will be a price for the degradation of bilateral relations and it is the us that is

entirely responsible for what is happening president joe biden signed an executive order on punitive measures targeting moscow right after calling for deescalation and tensions between the states now is the time to deescalate. worry for all of. us. turned personnel from the russian diplomatic mission are being expelled $32.00 and season individuals have been sanctioned for quote government directed the terms to influence the 2020 us presidential election the document also targets a range of financial institutions as well as 6 technology companies for cyber attacks it is down off looks at what the impact might be big politics is all about big p.r. political marketing of the trump era america transitioned from sourcing nicknames for his opponents into the biden age which spearheads now shameless self promotion

america is back. america is back diplomacy is back biden diplomacy sounds like a classic personal brand of so what is it well for russia it apparently means a sanctions sledgehammer through several steps including expulsion several russian officials as a consequence of their actions i've also signed an executive order authorizing new measures including sanctions to address specific conference action is that russia has taken against u.s. interest well the man seems to be abundantly clear at least for ones right well he would have been had he not led into these sanctions announcement with this united states is not looking to kick off a cycle of escalation and conflict with russia we want a stable predictable relationship these signals are not just mixed in terms of consistency they're on par with noises from space joe biden was counsel joe biden

said he's interested in normalization of russia u.s. relations but the actions of his administration show us the opposite the u.s. is not ready to deal with the reality of the multipolar world which shuts at the possibility of american has your money instead they count on sanctions and interference in our internal affairs just this week biden and putin talked over the phone to join the conversation the u.s. president and now a new batch of sanctions in putin's face only to express hope later for a stable and predictable way forward and the white house sees no problem here no discrepancy forget proof for good reason forget who's president even biden strategy is to bully a country out of geopolitical relevance and it seems that's the only predictable thing about america left after all trumps anti russia sanctions galore that appears

to his whole. term didn't save the ex-president from being shamed for being soft on russia so maybe biden is resorting to nuclear options right away desperately trying to keep one foot in the door though the door leading to that positive trajectory if you recall when donald trump was 1st elected he was adamant he was going to improve a relationship with with putin and with moscow but a majority opinion in the white sows the united states military united states security and american elites in general is in favor of this hard line of encouraging a new cold war so even if i don't was being our friend which was cheated in suggesting talks the majority of the american people who matter in the united states the people who rule the united states are insistent on this cold war agenda with russia does seem that biden agree to have this summit at least seem to be you know looking towards some sort of solution particularly towards the build up

military build up at least create as no take in this harder stance which trying to help the process of trying to resolve matters and still train and cannot help improve relations to moscow washington and other western powers while inviting the latest raft of sanctions the u.s. also cited sensational claims made last year of russia offering bounties to the taliban on u.s. troops in afghanistan the white house admits it has very little to back up those claims he had still it demands answers from the kremlin. we felt the reports were enough of a cause of concern they assessed with low to moderate confidence as you alluded to that russian intelligence officers start to encourage taliban attacks against u.s. and coalition personnel in afghanistan so while there's a lot of moderate assessment of these reports we felt it was important for our intelligence community to look into it this information really puts the burden on russia and the russian government to explain their engagement here in june last year it was reported russian intelligence offered taliban linked militants bounties

to killed u.s. troops in afghanistan in 2019 delegations were never proven and the pentagon itself said that it couldn't corroborate the reports but it didn't stop the mainstream media from going to town on the story vladimir putin is offering for the scalps of american soldiers in afghanistan now the european intelligence official called this callous shocking and reprehensible overnight president trump dismissed the intelligence denied being briefed on it as new reports emerged saying those payments did in fact lead to the death of americans. u.s. president has decided to end america's double decade military presence in afghanistan by mid set but the story still to come. before the protesters rallied in the german capital after the constitutional court overturned the burdens rent rule the laws being one of the most debated in the country in recent years that had frozen rent payments 2019 levels for 5 years

people are furious about the utero. it all started very peacefully here it ended with some people being taken away by the police in some small clashes following a ruling in germany's constitutional court that made a boy a red cow that was put in place last february by the senate the the government of the state of 'd play in this throws the calls to 29 t. prices that people were saying that it was just becoming on affordable to live in the city and people being priced out of certain areas the opposite side of that the

landlords and the rental companies would say that the state has no place to meddle in the market they also say that putting in place rental comps would stop new apartments from being built what actually was decided in the constitutional court had nothing to do with the actual ins and outs of rental power they actually ruled on whether the city of and how the jurisdiction to put it in place at all in the 1st place they ruled that things to do with rent like they said were actually in the federal law and what this could mean is some quite nasty bills arriving through the doors of around 1500000 households it's 90 percent of the residences in berlin that will be affected by this what the ruling says is that landlords could claim back in a really is for the rents that they say they would have been owed by having rents comped like they say now some rental companies have said they're not going to ask for that money back but all those have said that they will do that which surely is

not going to go down well with a lot of people because this coupled with the. coupled with people having lost jobs is seeing quite a lot of economic impact here in berlin arts walked through thousands of people it's quite hard to put an exact figure on it what they say is needed is a ruling on a federal level whether they'll get that are not not for sure. social media twitter on thursday band the founder of investigative journalists group project very task that was for alleged violations of its policies comes after the collective it published another undercover sting video involving c.n.n. technical director. like. before getting there is a picture. of a terror asian. someone who. looks like

a society that we all thought were in place are no longer in place there is no more roebuck this is you know this is concerning this is something that the american people should be looking into this is something they should be studying and this is something that they should know about because anything this big that means people make value decisions that affect their lives every day based on the news and if you're telling them you're real and in you know we're off hours you're saying that you're completely fake your propaganda that needs to be investigated that needs to be looked at further. b.b.c.'s diversity chief islams the main character in the past essentially luther to not being black enough despite being acted by it to sell but more out of the bright. those who can the speculators and those are now the

a gruelling elites of the world are the speculators. they can create bubbles it could be used cars this week it could be. next week it could be island somewhere in the pacific the week after that those are bubbles of the secular collapse and ultimately when the everything bubble collapses then we have the realisation that the economy die in 2008 we just have a very to get. seemed wrong. just don't hold. any new world yet to shape out these days become educated and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

of the work brigades well in the case become a reality soldiers in the british army's rule engineers regiment have been told to mind their language lest anyone for victim to offense the son and right throws a few grenades of his own along the culture war front line. so the main dangers of being in the military is you can be shot at blown up. or fall victim to non gender neutral language well $22.00 engineer regiment of the british army is doing something about it the language not the horrible bad stuff don't call each other lads soldiers are told to be more inclusive and avoid using words such as mankind and sportsmanship over fears that they could cause offense to regiment sergeant major reportedly told his men. people that they need to try harder to up hold the

regiments v. and s. b. and s. dance with values and standards do not mix it up with b. and s. he also said that everyone has to remember d. and on that diversity and inclusion and gents men lads other phrases like there are not to be use and this is my favorite he said it should be made sure that people are getting paid the correct compliments we don't always says know. what this story has caused some our rage among friends or gobs like these more with of course actually there's nothing new about these directions they came out in 2017 released by the british army's joint equality diversity and inclusion unit or jeddah as it. were inclusive most important so some poles from the guidance from the u.k.

military's jello war is inclusive jesting sportsmanship be replaced with fairness or good humor and the word mankind be replaced with humanity whew mankind human race people as head researcher some of those are man in as well were british war heroes to tim collins back in 2017 describe to listeners the ludicrous and dangerous morass into which obsequious and p.c. senior officers have led the british army which means he doesn't like it. so we can conclude from this is. 4 years on after that advice was originally given soldiers are still not quite ready to have their language policed probably because if you're in the army you've got a few other things to worry about let's not forget that the army has been at the forefront of the quality they've been teaching mentor on their own trousers for centuries washed on one saw it turn over. to the back about dropping bombs on middle eastern villages is the absolute definition of inclusive ety kill everyone without prejudice. probably

a long time for we see scenes like this on the frontline. story. oh my god did i say that it's. so roll the scene the actor playing it to the next james bond but the lead character in the b.b.c.'s hugely popular crime drama luthor left the network's head of creative diversity both shaken and claims that he isn't quote authentic enough to be real when it 1st came out everybody loves the fact the interest is in there really strong black characters at least well actually he doesn't have any black friends he doesn't eat anywhere carabiner. this doesn't feel authentic when you see groups through the prism of stereotypes this is the insulting outcome which he preferred to see luthor dunk basketball hoops at the end of every scene luther

isn't black enough and i see so this is a new wave of racism where black people are not black enough it was implied i'm not black enough because i didn't have any black friends in my photo these lazy syria types are racist the b.b.c. is place to spend a 100000000 pounds on making more quote diverse i mean clue safety very programs will have to pass 3 tests qualified i guess debated the issues raised. when well culture goes too far it presents something that i call to will to to win you know that the bottom line is if we are going to have diversity chiefs you know let's make sure we're talking about making sure that there is a good representation of actors and women and men. you know what our society looks like right now you know where a phrase i came up with recently is when you live by that quote unquote woakes or you're going to the bookstore because when you go out there try to have diversity and try to have inclusion sometimes you just go way over to tab i think that the

diversity counselor does need to answer some more questions to the public because i'm a lot of people were unfortunately insulted by this very langar is comments this idea that blackness is monolithic is very very dangerous and it could lead to more stereotypes as you were saying it's it was very very very backless and i really hope that that the b.b.c. looks into this more actually a lot of times in a way over the top and you try to 5 things like this ok i'm going to a city chief buy things aren't really quite right ok he's not in caribbean food that's not right oh he doesn't have any black friends he's not quote unquote black and no you go so far and your search for diversity you try to create problems when a problem is even exist so that's kind of so the thing b.b.c. was to be woken when to be more inclusive in all this in a they're going to have these kind of problems come up because at a certain point you have to create problems in order to solve them to justify your

job even existing if there is a character that is written that's supposed to be a certain character just changing that the skin color isn't necessarily a solution this is a fictional character who never said in this and his character description that he was supposed to be so so-called black so i think that we should continue thinking about luther as the celebration of an x. exceptional you know acting career. it has been heralded and as mr i think we've become a little bit to solve there's always a caricature of this race or their race or their voice or this ways we're going to stop being a little bit little bit to solve because there's softness is what brings up the luther thing ok we're talked about these mascots things don't really matter then we go we open it up and say ok if we have a black character and you got it be authentically black whatever some random person says he's being authentically black because of his soft nature of modern social

justice warrior culture. president biden is announce the withdrawal of all u.s. and nato troops from afghanistan by mid september saying it's time to and the 3rd ever war the taliban those reacted angrily he did agree to an earlier exit with donald trump of the 2 decades of war with the terror group still active correspondent ron christie of looks at what the pullout will mean for the country. joe biden says this is it the end of the afghan war no more extentions apart from well these last one until september we cannot continue the cycle of extending or expanding our military presence in afghanistan hoping to create ideal conditions for the drawn and expecting a different result according to the deal struck between trump and the taliban america was supposed to be gone in a couple of weeks time by may 1st but the president the new president claimed that

didn't give him enough time the new date is symbolically september 11th and the thousands of us and nato troops on that date will have left in light of this and recognizing that there is no military solution to the challenges of ganesan faces and lies have determined that we will start their withdrawal of the residents are told mission full says by may fast new d.n.a. 2 wants to be in afghanistan knew it would be but they went to do a job to make sure that al qaida and its ilk never make it home again and the only thing worse than staying in afghanistan is leaving before that job is done which has the potential to cost 20 years of war and bloodshed and effort to the when our common goal is clear afghanistan should never again service a haven for terrorists to attack our hometowns. so our presence

is conditions based while you know our ally wants to stay in afghanistan longer than necessary we will not leave before the time is right it's the us government itself is divided and of my native germany for example which previously opposed the withdrawal czech republic came out and said that this is the wrong decision but that they'll pull out in solidarity leaving behind a vast dangerous and uncertain ballot vacuum the war isn't over almost 2000 people have been killed that have got a start in the 1st 3 months of this year but now that's a problem for others it will ask other countries of the countries in the region to do more to support of canisters especially pakistan as well as russia china india in turkey. you know i have a significant stake in the stable future for afghanistan under stab at the taliban

now is believed to be more powerful than any point in 20 years they control a contest more than half the country and that's with thousands of nato troops keeping them at bay with those foreign troops gone what's to stop them taking law but siege in kabul and doing decades of humanitarian and human rights progress would they still feel obligated to root out hardline terrorists i mean. the u.s. never came here for the benefit of afghanistan no one was happy with the us coming here and i don't think many people will be sad to see them leave the us came to afghanistan for its own interests and that includes nato and all other foreign troops which are under the orders of washington when the us came in 2001 they vowed to deliver peace in afghanistan but they failed we can never trust american promises i guess if the u.s. soldiers leave afghanistan i think the situation will become worse because our

country's security forces are not equipped well enough to fight against the taliban who have had the weaponry the us promised many times in recent years about withdrawing its troops but nothing happened and help for peace let's see what will happen when i was there even as you know the us came to ensure security in afghanistan and as you know the situation has become worse day by day conflicts increased and now the americans are leaving i don't think the americans want afghanistan to prosper they're just seeking a way to flee from the mess they made and they are thinking about the afghan people around us i mean i think it could be good if we get peace the afghan people want peace it's a good idea that america leaves of ghana stand we the afghan people are tired of war the taliban are also angry they feel cheated again by this withdrawal deal they already field commanders are promising nightmare for foreign troops until they pull out. and on that note the american and european taxpayers who lost trillions of

dollars in this war a left to hope for the best seat no guarantees no clear progress the result of the afghan war is that everyone's been left for the best. russian fighter jet towers a school to the u.s. spy plane as it approached russia or over the pacific ocean the american aircraft came close to the southeast coast of can check but never actually violated russia's airspace country's defense minister stresses the russian jet behaved in strict compliance with international regulations on the use of air space. cancer culture looks like it struck again a recent talk by conservative group at the university of northern colorado was disrupted by activists many of whom were part of the black lives matter movement according to university officials the event was shut down because of violations with the school's mask policy but those behind the top say there were clear double

standards at play as officials they claimed allowed protesters to get rowdy and one step away from being violent it was either campaign is making noise in disrupting proceedings and serve to personality will witt who was to speak at that event is take. they don't want to have conservatives come and speak on their campuses because they know that if the students here will which message of greater usenets is that maybe they'll turn against the agenda at the university and they don't want that so you want there to be open discourse you want there to be people on the left of people in the gray able to have conversations or come together and find out the best ideas but the far left in america doesn't want that at all if you have a difference of opinion there and they want to shut you down they don't want to hear your side of the story all they want to ostracize you to destroy you to shame you for your beliefs and so it's not like those protesters new ones going to take my basket and that's why they were crazy they went crazy because i had a different point of view and people were they were acting like and it was a terrible display on their part as the far left. the care that would you rather
