Or good morning welcome just going i tickled him more scare you watching international russias president Vladimir Putin is paying a flying visit to stay where he will meet with his italian counterpart and also the vatican too for a chat with the pope so lets get the latest now from rome where. Hes covering the visit force good morning to you. It has been a long time hasnt it since mr putins been initially whats prompted this latest visit. Andrew good morning well have lot of. Becoming much more of a frequent guest to europe like the times shortly after the events that happened in ukraine some 4 years ago and we understand that the e. U. Is not the same place its only different the people in charge of this country are there for a. So this visit really stands out for certain and also whats very important as youve said mr pope will get to have a conversation with the roman pope now just before or putin headed to italy he spoke to the journalist of a major italian newspaper and something important that he said was that russia 1 was enjoying a special time tested relation with italy now this is something thats definitely still dependent on the sanctions war that is still taking its toll on relations between moscow and brussels and other european capitals so lets have a listen what exactly the russian president said on that. As for the removal of sanctions i have spoken on the subject time and time again the one behind the sanctions is the one to take the 1st step im talking about the European Union after that russia will be able to repeal its countermeasures it is our hope that common sense will eventually prevail and europe will prioritize its own interests rather than follow instructions given by somebody else. The story keeps repeating itself in terms of journalists always being eager to ask the russian leader about the possible meddling in all kinds of election in europe of course is not an exception and mr putin was quick to say that russia never had any intentions to somehow interfere and meddle with democracy on this continent. Let me emphasize we have never interfered in the internal affairs of the European Union Member States or any other states and we are not going to this is what makes us markedly different from the u. S. And some of its allies which for instance supported the coup detat in ukraine in february 2014. A little earlier we import news came from moscow and. 2 formally. Russia 2 is now hes made the decision to make sure that russia is no longer a part of the intermediate range Nuclear Forces treaty now that happened in response to a similar move by the us and another question that the Italian Journalist asked mr putin was whether russia was feeling responsibility for this deterioration in global arms control heres what the russian president replied so that. The breakdown of the system of International Security began with the us unilateral withdrawal from the antiballistic missile treaty this instrument was the cornerstone of the entire arms control architecture one more fact should be mentioned here last october we proposed a joint statement to the u. S. On the inadmissibility of nuclear war and the recognition of its devastating consequences there has been no response from the u. S. But before all kinds of conversations with the Prime Minister and other officials as weve mentioned will head to the vatican to meet pope francis and according to mr putins advisor it seems that mr putins views and approaches are similar close or partially identical with the Catholic Church so thats why of course well have to watch out what theyre going to say after they meet hopefully something will come out of this being as well i can we will be coming back throughout the day thanks lives are trying to force in right. Now within my control the border between the u. S. And mexico intensifying donald trump puzzle foot up a tweet sized solution. If you legal immigrants are unhappy with the conditions in the quickly built or refitted Detention Centers just tell them not to come all problem solved. Well democrats though do say that trump is part of the problem not the solution they hold him responsible for the dire conditions border Detention Centers and from Migrant Deaths from has responded saying the democrats arent doing enough to deter people from coming meanwhile a new poll has found that the lions share of americans believe the situation at the southern border constitutes a crisis that has more on the story. The border crisis in the United States is taking a turn with the volume getting significantly louder at this point weve got Amnesty International accusing both the u. S. Department of justice and the department of Homeland Security of targeting immigration activists Amnesty International has found since 20 scene that the United States government has executed and unlawful and politically motivated complain of intimidation threats harassment and criminal investigations against people who defend the human rights of migrants refugees and Asylum Seekers or migrant human rights offenders on the Us Mexico Border International Organizations have already spoken up about the treatment of migrants but now weve got american politicians jumping in rockstar freshman congresswoman alexandria a cow 0 cortez has gone to the border and created a firestorm with her words about the conditions in the facilities in that last bit so really i was not sure from the officers that but we started a i was unconscionable. No child should ever be separated from their parents no woman should ever be locked up in a pan now conservative outlets have a very different version of events they say she had a meltdown at the guards and refused to actually take a Tour Representative alexandre screamed at federal Law Enforcement agents in a threatening manner during a visit to a u. S. Border patrol facility in El Paso Texas monday afternoon and refused to tour the facility according to 2 people who admits to a o. C. Says that migrants are not being provided with proper water and being told to drink out of toilets if they are thirsty they put them in the room with no Running Water and these women were being told by c. B. P. Officers to drink out of the toilet they were Drinking Water out of the toilet and that was them no one with a compression. Visit was coming that was this is the b. P. On their best behavior telling people to think out of the toilet now Border Patrol agents say this is simply not the case we dont treat people that we provide fresh water we provide food we provide sanitary and in sanitary busy items as well busy as. Items for bathing and personal hygiene and thats are you saying that shes lying im telling you what we do so the question now is do these facilities get more money republicans are saying that if the department of Homeland Security had more money the conditions inside the facilities detaining migrants would actually improve democrats are saying however that they do not want to spend another dime on inhumane facilities detaining migrants after i forced myself into a cell with women and began speaking to them one of them described their treatment at the hands of officers as sekulow dickel warfare waking them at odd hours for no reason calling them etc tell me what about that is due to a lack of funding as has been standard in American Social wars as of late both sides accuse the other of being unamerican treasonous and totalitarian furthermore to contrary narratives of what actually happened when a o. C. Visited the facility have been put forward and believed by their respective constituencies. Was the little. Old ladies come past and. Now everyone agrees that there is a humanitarian crisis on the us border with people fleeing drug gangs in extreme poverty and corpses being discovered on an almost daily basis however the problem is not being solved while politicians trade insults.

T. Berlin. Now iran has told the u. S. That it shouldnt start a fire if its not willing to deal with the consequences thats after donald trump warned the Islamic Republic not to play with fire he was responding to terrans announcement that it was going to up its production of low enriched uranium beyond the limits imposed by the 25th nuclear deal. Monitored up you know as i have been informed iran has crossed the 300 kilogram limit based on as earlier we had announced our plan to exceed the limit therefore based on our previous announcement we made it clear what we were going to do we see it as a right based on the disappear way. Below what to do if they go with the airplane with i think theyre playing with fire the best thing for the u. S. To do so correct is mistake if washington is afraid of the word fire you can start one. Or the spat began when washington withdrew from the nuclear deal imposed harsh sanctions on iran after a little over a year vest collating tensions to iran has now said it will no longer feel bound by the terms of the deal either iran says thats because other signatories to it including france germany and the u. K. Havent done enough to keep the deal alive well here in r. T. Our guess debated whos really playing with. Well i really think that president to look him in the mirror and see that he fails to see this let alone defiant that he himself has ignited with is irrational confrontation our policy toward iran mr thompson is wrong hes at his hawkish advisors are wrong the u. S. Is iran policy is. Former Vice President joe biden the selfinflicted disaster iran violated the c. P. O. Way on many occasions and it was only a stopping point on their ultimate desire to to enrich uranium to. Develop a Nuclear Missile program and they continue to do it right after before and right after the signing of that agreement that agreement was never worth more than the paper was written on its not nonsense its absolutely true you know it and youre very skilled at the art of project obviously have any read. Or seen has been doing 1515 i am reports confirming it on full compliance with this honoris obligations we did busy. You obviously havent bothered to read even one single one of them otherwise you would not say that iran has violated 2016 Nuclear Green twenties not only at the. Audit did the water for you know that the United States purchased heavy water from iran prior to mr trump tearing up that really cares right youre violating your way by continuing to produce its obligations you can lie all you like on the wrong that i havent even read that agreement im sorry sir youre due to 1st go and read listen iran is a riot it meant for you to show up on a t. V. Show people of iran do not like the regime nobody outside iran likes the regime and you know one day it will fall thats not the stated policy of a president but one day this regime. Who are the ones that were mining the wall tankers in the gulf that was the who shot down the the the drawn there was in International Waters that was the rainy and illegitimate regime and all they doing is is now that theyre on their own a great deal of strain when they when they received 150000000000. 00 in the wake of signing the g. C. P. O. A gingerly is not a full blown pledge treaty it was just an agreement with president obama and President Trump every legal right to withdraw from it and we came very close to a law may get done just 2 weeks ago unfortunately reason prevailed partly because of trump sudden discovery iran and the tearing capabilities that even a limited strike could a snowball into you know all out warfare involving ulysses allies in the region and hopefully that will serve as a wake up call to trant tool to step back from its confrontation our policy come back to the table that the us left unilaterally and you know or resume diplomacy with iran because the us as a process right now is untied diplomacy and provocative one war mongering. Still ahead see this as american hip hops start mcminn our provoke it it performances will headline a festival in saudi arabia sparking outrage today when the kingdom will have a look at that because of the stories just.

Castillo theyre now in yemeni rebel force have launched a cross border air operation into saudi arabia and a series of strikes armed drones hit saudi airports with riyadh military officials reporting 9 people injured and has been for years since riyadh launched its incursion into yemen to fight against the heathy rebels the drone attack comes amid a worsening humanitarian crisis in the country with starvation becoming even more widespread in the region back in june a u. N. Sponsored food program decided to partially suspend sending food to areas controlled by the who thinks. The decision was taken as a last resort after a lengthy negotiation stalled on agreement to introduce controls to prevent the diversion of food away from some of the most Vulnerable People in yemen well the uns decision sparked outrage in yemen and accusations of corruption that he thinks is allege the food program is being used to achieve political aims the World Food Program is no longer carrying out a humanitarian operation in yemen but its sixtys have rather become purely political it is advanced in the genders of the u. A. E. Saudi arabia and the us. Well one of the main concerns of the hearing things is that the main donors to the food program are actually members of the anti anything coalition concerns have also been raised over a biometric system required by the program things believe is open to exploitation by the Saudi Led Coalition we spoke to antiwar campaigner Jonathan Shafi about the allegations theres a great problem here which is that the war in yemen just like war through history is making money for a small number of people those who run the Arms Companies and so on when it comes to the question of yemen when it comes the question of how we bring a bit peace the 1st thing that we have to do is to stop the sale of weapons is to open up the channels to deliver food and other aid to the starved people of devastated yemen and to bring about a peaceful solution and so of course there is a need a dire need for food aid to get through and it seems to me that whats happening is that the request for biometric information on 15000000 individuals yemenis including military officers soldiers and so on that the fear is that handing that information over to the World Food Program that it may end up in the hands of the soda coolish and the funding that goes to the World Food Program because of it coming from certain of the sody coercion and because of the deeply complex picture that that they in pain about with such passion all information may end up and about how that information may be used in a military fashion. I find a Popular American hip hop singer named her provocative style is going to perform in saudi arabia but the invitation has upset some in the kingdom. Saudi arabia. I dont think. Shes going to go in. All her songs. And then you tell me to where. Thousands of saudi women even get to get their basic needs thanks to the saudi government the saudi government is bringing. The rest of the world. Country. The crown prince had been some man has actually been trying to use kind of these stunts or these very superficial changes that are not organic to Saudi Arabian society at all or to what it means to be a woman in saudi arabia it is kind of a silly image to imagine that the women attending the nicki minaj concert are actually fully failed and wearing full length ropes society doesnt really buy theyre not buying into this socalled attempt to modernize its side of society in this way i think that this basically in caps relates the problem with the rule of the crown prince of example a definition of hypotheses somebody who has made absolutely ringback no real changes during the entire time that he has been ruling as a factor ruler of saudi arabia at the same time we all know about the scandal with questions youve asked here the war in yemen all kinds of human rights abuses these are all continuing that are is attempting to do these very basic ridiculous gestures to kind of feed them a few of them to their the local audience theyre watching out International Just coming up to half past 8 in the morning here in moscow were back again with headlines for you more stories at the top of the hour.
