a robot must protect this phone existence with the the, the, the are headline stories this hour from cancels and embassy celebration in washington in protest against ban us security packed with the u. k. on a street that resulted in the loss of a lucrative submarine deal for par if we get reaction on the streets of the french . this is not the 1st time that the united states has taken contracts from austria . very good at that. we do not respect anyone the quotes from themselves, the act like masters of the world. they shouldn't have done that because i think it fronts, it's on the same. they would have complain. giving the game away while washington

insist the new pacific security allies is not aimed at anyone. in particular, the secretary of defense makes the true target the we spoke in detail about china's, the stabilizing activities in beijing separate 2 course and intimidate other countries. this agreement, this relationship is not aimed at anything. port. anyone also coming up in the program, rushes parliamentary election is underway with pulling stations open. all across russia will bring you the full breakdown later. the power i'm right. the 3 days are putting in their special i around the clock across the world. this is our t from the team and myself, you know neil, welcome to the news. our

o. a diplomatic flash point is developing between france and the united states. paris has cancelled an embassy gala to celebrate the country's historical alliance in protest against america. new security pack signed with the strictly on the u. k, which french officials have dubbed a stop in the back. the u. s. secretary of state insist though all is well. france in particular, is a vital partner on this and so many other issues stretching back generations. and we want to find every opportunity to deepen our transatlantic cooperation in the pacific and around the world. despite anthony blinking assurances, many french citizens are unconvinced. we gauged opinions in the capital. missy bought up from your phone. this is not the 1st time tonight. the states has taken contracts from us. they are very good at that. we do not respect anyone apart from themselves. they act like masters of the world. they shouldn't have done that because i think it front on the same they would have complained they wouldn't have

liked to. we'll see if the current president is better than the last one. it represents a lot of money, a lot of jobs, but it would be better if these jobs were for making other things. it's a little dishonest, i suppose. and the other hand there were closes which allowed them to break the contract before they started making the submarines. no, it's never good for a person to see that a contract has been broken. it's happened to me personally. they're always paragraph and clauses, but it must be justified. you have to have a good reason if i understand it correctly, the united states is a competitor. so of course, it's not a good thing that should have been talked between the french and the americans. yeah, let's recap what happened then on wednesday, just really the u. k and the u. s. signed a pacific security pack called office. busy scenic country in china, it involves cooperation in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and nuclear defense. on the really it will acquire a nuclear powered submarine fleet with american british technology. china,

which is the dominant power in the indo pacific region, has condemn the deal as cold war mentality. neither washington or london have explicitly linked the new deal to they supposed to threat from basing, but remarks from the us defense secretary leave little room for died. we spoke in detail about china's d, stabilizing activities in beijing efforts to course and intimidate other countries . this agreement, this relationship does not aim that anything or anyone. while china and from sir angered by the new part of them, are asking what this could mean for nato. ilia katrinka sums up the latest reactions when donald trump left office, and joe biden took charge. it could have been a side relief for some of washington's allies just when the euro was starting to think that the future would be more predictable under the new president. this

happens. i'm very angry today and bitter. this is not something allies do to each other. the will do the jungle. france has just been reminded this bitter truth by the way, the u. s. and the u. k of stopped her in the back in australia, still a v e readers are still really over what the biden and ministration did of ghana, stan. and now paris has been stunned by washington's announcement of a new partnership with australia and the u. k. called all because, but haven't the u. s. the u. k. and all these been calls allies for ages? what's the problem? well, thanks to august, australia will now be hooked up with us technology to build nuclear submarines while france waves goodbye to its own multi 1000000000 dollar contract to build 12 diesel subs for a camera. now for some damage control by senior american officials. after that deal

was to repeat ode, there are a range of partnerships that include the french and some partnerships that don't. and they have partnerships with other countries that don't include us. that is part of how global diplomacy works are such words enough to calm the fury in paris, which is even called off a gala, at the french embassy in washington to celebrate historic ties with the u. s. good question. anyway, the french government has shown they're not willing to just swallow that bitter pill. plus there's solidarity with paris from b e. u on the matter to to bono as soon hopefully it is a good opportunity to recall, to reflect on the need to raise the issue of european strategic autonomy. it is a new proof of the need to exist on our own. when the grace of august was announced, none of the leaders of the u. s. u. k. or the trio mentioned china even once, but make no mistake. the masterminds of the new pact must have had keeping beijing at bay on their mind, their falling no one. just look at how the article offers on the b. b. c is titled

find his reaction to the new partnership. didn't take long, critical and outright come to should not build, exclusionary blogs targeting or harming the interests of 3rd parties. in particular, they should shake off their cold war mentality and ideological prejudice. and the e. u published ed strategy for cooperation and the endo pacific, clearly stating the intention not to worse than relations with china. contradicting the apparent intentions of august the e. you will also pursue its multifaceted engagement with china, engaging bilaterally to promote solutions to common challenges. when it comes to neighboring countries, new zealand doesn't want australian nuclear subs anywhere near its waters. stria has today voluntarily and secretly entered into a nuclear by defense the military pac with to nuclear weapons site. is that

a net gain per regional stability and the pace and corporation in the world? there are a wide range and concern indonesia, the pacific new zealand. many other players are looking in a, the disbelief or anger, or at least concerned about a position to not having gone through all that. let me just show you part of how the australian prime minister introduced barcus. we must now take our partnership to a new level, a partnership, the 6 to engage not to exclude, to contribute, not tight, and to enable and empower not to control or coerce. well, good luck with engaging and not excluding something tells me that this new partnership, though, has already stepped on toes and undermined international ties. just thing with this story we heard from believe him or former vice president of the organization for security and cooperation in europe. and also a long time bunder stag member,

he thinks the arc is part, raises the prospect of a conflict with china. we live in an excellent corporation with how i bought and i and china and that on it is complicated for us because we just been global ation and our allies the united states. so if you were to confront nathan and he would conflict with china and know on how to do up the you know, the call and i'll make the videos and even the angle alliance had been split and they're fine. think what is the leaving behind of this us which is looking

goal which had being about the thing. i think so many, many to be late in the, in, you know, going in the wrong direction. they're going to kind of what they, they're going to be and they might be going to law. and the 3rd include, not only is the you will be union, but try now in japan galena and in the fall, i think it's what it is. the basic not the global storm clouds are gathering over another big tech company, twitter. it all stems from a post by robert, nikki managed to her 22000000 followers in which she claimed her cousin's friend,

and trinity suffered a highly unpleasant side effect from a coven vaccine. here's the take of our teeth, polly boys. one of america has made successful reporting on test, nicky, mon, and britain talk doctor slash pandemic, oracle. professor chris with the 2 people you never expected to utter the same sentence. it all started with the men gall earlier this week that had to be vaccinated. mickey didn't go to the man gall and said that it was because he didn't want to leave her baby. but she also tweeted saying that she wouldn't get back to attend the medical lab and that if she was going to get back, it would only be off the she's done enough research in her was after which she presented to tweet in great detail about a friend of a cousin of hud in trinidad not tweeted to had 22000000 followers.

his testicles became swollen, his friend was weeks away from getting married. now the girl called off the wedding . so just pray on it and make sure you're comfortable with your decision. not solid . the story for and mary adds of mean. and nicky cousins, friend is definitely going to become some sort of pop culture icon and into this very dull and dreary but obviously very important. corona virus press conference. one of the journalists that to professor chris will see why he thinks over his story. predictably the scientist gave it a problem, sat down, and many of those people are going to say, i think know that they are peddling untruths. in my view, they should be ashamed. and then the prime minister or johnston, also commented on the story. and as if this story couldn't get any way, you know, i responded to bar johnson with this bizarre recording of imitating a british accent. not too bad actually. yeah. hello, prime minister boring. it's nikki menard's. i went to school with margaret

thatcher. i'm not. big star is in the united states. just to be clare. aussie does not endorse me. he's cousins, friends. technical very my, i'm the thing about high school with my get that check. that's definitely make news . i'm getting back to they did is great do it. i think i thought that was the end of the story, but i'm here to update to the government of trinidad. tobago has issued an official statement denying that nicki's cousin friend balls was swollen because of the vaccine. now that bull gate has reached such truly epic proportions. the conclusion of this is something that only an absurd, if bill made period couldn't call nick, even though i had posted on her instagram this time that twitter restricted her ability to tweet that. got the juices of the substance. pundits really flowing

point she's making are worth reiterating. you can't allow people to force you to take drugs. they don't want for that you don't need. the only thing is that have denied restricting nick human knowledge is accounting. somehow she has managed to make a false claim about being in trouble for making a false crime. wow. volleyball. co. major news outlets were quick to notice that menache is tweets wasn't taken down. they state it could make some of the rappers followers think twice about getting vaccinated. radio host and journalist john golds. thanks thursday. clear political pattern who twitter decides to censor. tricia have a gigi. she, they hide. they say all we're technical platform, we're not a publisher. the moment they true,

donald trump trump off twitter for what he tweeted, they became, in my opinion, a publisher just like a tv company, just like a newspaper. and therefore they should be responsible for what is published on their platform. but these big companies don't, won't love the hiding behind if your opinion fits in to their soto for california and view of the world liberal view of the world. except if it doesn't, if it goes against what they think the world should be like, then they'll send you. the best example is donald trump. if he had some tweets that were wrong, of course they should be taken down. but to actually take away your whole account, i said democratically elected leader, that is twitter. overstep and the mark in my personal opinion, i'm twitter because they control the public square, the public space. now,

i don't know how they got themselves into this position, but they have, they have this inordinate power. and if they can get rid of the democratic elected, president of the united states will come to get rid of this or up singer and her dangerous trash talk on the russia gate scandal refuses to die. don't a u. s. lawyer made various allocations against donald trump not being charged with lying to the f b i. but his role and hillary clinton's presidential campaign, our web team been probing not the story at r t dot com for more. this is our international on the way we'll launch into our russian parliamentary election coverage on the race for those 450 seats in this state. and that's coming up shortly. ah,

western civilization and culture have been infected by a mindset, surprises, ideology, over confidence. virtue over reason and democracy is only a good idea if and when it's there can be interest, then there's the issue of competence, competence, and used to be rewarded. now incompetent is overlooked when serving ideology with me ah

ah, i use the hello again. the us and world this month has been remembering the $911.00 atrocity and here in rti, we've been analyzing the 20 year chain of events that followed. nowhere was the impact greater than in iraq, which us forces invaded in 2003. our tea contributor richard met hers, has launched a special online project. delving into that campaign on how rather than defeating terror, turn much of the region into a hotbed of extremism. the latest episode explore some of the false claims that led to war. with the invasion of 2003,

the united states and its allies completely destroyed iraq. and the problem is not just the invasion is everything else that came after. as a direct result, most of the problems iraq has now did not have in 2003. so why did the us invade, what does it rock have to do with the war on terror? will nothing really? which is why they made up all these lines about weapons of mass destruction. you remember the anthrax letters that was a lie yellow cake from niger another lie, w in these many lies. weapons of mass destruction, weapons of mass destruction, weapons of mass destruction, chemical biological and nuclear weapons, weapons of mass destruction. they even said that saddam hussein was working with al qaeda, which if you know anything about the middle east is so ridiculous. saddam was a bath, if the secularist and alcohol or religious extremists, they are incompatible. now iraq is a country that has many ethnic groups, religious groups, and tribe. the bass parties been decades trying to integrate everyone into one national identity. certainly not perfect, but it was stable. and then united states invades in 2003 and suddenly there is a civil war carrying violence of car bombs and suicide bombs going off and crowded

places, people blowing up shrines and mosques, say what you want about to dump, but that stuff was not happening before the invasion, and it's so easy for apologists western imperialism to go all look at all these people fighting over religion. they're so stupid and violent. funny, i'm none of this existed before 2003, right. what a coincidence, right after the us invades dissolves the army, the political and economic institution rips apart and social fabric and creates chaos that you suddenly bonds going off. america says it's fighting a war on terror, right? we'll see how that went to 1000 to iraq. you had 10 deaths from terrorism a year after the invasion in 2004. there were 2000 in 201612000. there was no such thing as all kind and your rock now there is, there was no such thing as die before. there was no eyes this and now there is once again to sell america's war on terror, creates more terrorism. and besides living iraq's national treasures and museums, there was also something else being looted before iraq and nationalized soil

history. but after 2003, well, let me put it this way. when there was math floating in baghdad, the only building us army decided to protect was the ministry of oil. go figure iraq, you have one of the best health care systems in the entire middle east. before the invasion. there were $34000.00 doctors, literally half of them. 17000 and doctors left a rock after 2003. 12 percent of iraq's hospitals were destroyed and told this was taken on civilians. look at the example of felicia, a city retake in 3 times. in 2004, the u. s. completely destroyed. one 5th, 20 percent of all the buildings and for loser, the u. s. dropped so many bombs, they literally turn the city radioactive from all the depleted uranium and chemical weapons. now solution is one of the highest rates of cancer and infant mortality in the world with children being born with her riffing birth defect. child birth defects skyrocketed with some 33 times the rate in europe, the birth defects. and for lucia are even higher than in hero shima. nagasaki, which the us distort with to new. so was it worth it?

what exactly did iraq gain from all this in the last 20 years? let's do a quick recap. will the kurds and iraq were gassed by saddam now enjoy their own autonomy region. so they've certainly made strides despite everything else. what about the situation in general in iraq? health care system destroy the energy infrastructure, destroy the massive brain drain, all the doctors, engineers, and people needed to run the country and rebuild are gone millions of refugees. and so many people did. we don't even know the actual number because it's likely over a 1000000 killed by us and coalition forces and outcome. and i this, there are many grades that haven't even been found yet. so if the 1st gulf war starved iraq and derailed its public infrastructure, the 2nd invasion in 2003 obliterated the country almost 2 decades later, iraq is still under occupation. it hasn't even begun to recover. and by any sensible metric, it is worse off than it ever was before the war. once again, a clear example how the war on terror was a fraud. the nation building was a scam and the only people benefiting our private contractors, mercenaries, and for an oil companies, you can watch more episodes

r t dot com and on youtube page, the 1st is ready online. next, during the early phase of americas global campaign against terror. voting is now in full swing across russia in the parliament reelection for the 1st time. it's a 3 day process rolling on till sunday. the well, here's how the election will work. 450 m. p 's from 225 electoral districts will be chosen to the state duma for a 5 year term half for elected by majority voting based on one m. p per constituency. the remaining $225.00 are made up by parties which are more than 5 percent representation in parliament. throughout the week, we've been examining the 14 parties and what they spell for here, say, snapshots of a few of them. let's start with the communist russia not to be confused with the

better known communist party of the russian federation. they promote a marxist lenin s i. d. ology on want to kick start a massive nationalization campaign. the party garnered just over 2 percent of the votes in the previous election and has no representatives in the state. duma. another contender in this election is the liberal, conservative, civic plus form. now it was funded by 1000000000 armico proctor of before an internal bust up saw him quit, the party sees it's support, small, medium sized businesses and wants to see stronger domestic production instead of imports. the civic platform has one seat in the current parliament on one close to one percent of the board in 2016. by the way, some reports of technical glitches on friday morning by the way. as regards the election, the online voting system was briefly out of action. it's not fully restored,

not the only part from the crush. today, a pro opposition up called nevada only has been deleted from google play, an apple's up to. here's our t company rush, couple the app in question is somewhat an extension of nevada, his website and provides news about him or his organization, but this is not what's gotten it under the scrutiny. the app also has a section dedicated to so called smart voting. now, smart voting encourages those who disliked the current government to mark their ballot for whatever candidate in a given constituency is most likely to defeat the candidate of united russia. now more often than that, these are representatives of the communist party, russia, 2nd most popular party, which leadership ironically denounces nevada and his demon distances itself from smart voting anyway. according to ross, comrades or rushes internet watch dock, there is a link between smart voting and the news intake corruption fun,

which was labeled an extremist organisation for spreading extreme as content and inciting. unauthorized approach has, despite coven restrictions, earlier, ross come to absorb demanded from google and apple to take down the valid the ab because of that link. otherwise, rushes officials would have considered this as foreign interference in the run up to the parliamentary election. now, we've also heard from the head of the sovereignty committee in russia. senate, mr. climmer, who said that the issue was brought up in a conversation between russian diplomats and the us in bassett, or in moscow. john solomon now in the wellness aids have also published and an official response. the guy from apple, which states that advocate status as an extremist organization, was a reason the tech company decided to take down the app. americas tech giant did not always comply with russian laws, an offer, refused or failed to delete illegal content. for instance, messages publicly calling on people to take part in unauthorized demonstrations. for that, the likes of facebook, twitter, google received half to find,

but this time they decided to comply so that the app is no longer available in russia, which is of course, another blow to the jailed opposition figure and his team as they often look to the west for support so day one. busy of russia's parliamentary election is well underway. now the top of the r programming switches to the very heart of the capital, neil harvey getting some rehearsal time in will be there in our studio overlooking red square with all the latest updates to join the team. then goodbye, the

ah ah, the war may have to come with americans. but a warning the feet had become even more important and what is unfolded. they want to shift moment down in history books as a market beginning of the end of american preeminence. this is the end of the news in the 1920s infinity of several 100 african americans move to the soviet union. and many of their descendants still live in russia. no, no rush, but i still have yet to be. i chose for nice things and us back

home, black americans suffered from racism and a complete lack of prospects. you said you were not the real be losing sure one by one but by the truth. so they decided to leave everything behind and start a new life in a country about which knew almost nothing at all. some of the african americans who went to sylvia's union in 1830 found great success monet always seems to me. and now almost a 100 years later, history is repeating itself. my great grandfather george time, went to russia on probably the worst time to go anywhere. why not mean? what if i come here? ah, ah,

ah ah . hello and welcome to cross stock. were all things considered? i'm peter lavelle, western civilization and culture have been infected by a mindset that prices ideology over competence and virtue over reason. and democracy is only a good idea if and when it serves a lead interest. then there's the issue of conflict and competence used to be rewarded. now, incompetence is overlooked when serving ideology in the cross talking incompetent, deletes. i'm joined by my guess, john laughlin in paris. he is a university lecture in history and political philosophy in new york. we have danny

. hi phone. he is an independent journalist and author for black agenda report, an intern.
