In the morning here in moscow youre watching international now russias president Vladimir Putin is paying a flying visit to stay where he will meet with his italian counterpart and also pop into the vatican to for a chat with the pope talking to journalists ahead of the trip a stress the special time tested relations between the silly and russia so lets get the latest now from rome where our. First covering the visit good morning to india. For in fact since. Before whats prompted this latest visit. Good morning well it could be the old time tested relations why president. Here. But. Back then he wasnt really a frequent guest in europe shortly after the events in and around. Ukraine in 2014 well this time. Is completely different the people in charge of italy are different however though these sanctions are still taken their toll busy on whats happening between moscow and brussels and the journalists from the major italian newspaper that caught up with the russian president earlier this week brought these sanctions stalemate. 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. It seems with journalists from all kinds of countries when the interviewed a lot of our program the story keeps repeating itself wherever the media are from and they keep asking the russian leader about the russian meddling well heres what mr putin responded to that this time. Let me emphasize we have never interfered in the internal affairs of the European Union Member States or any other states and were 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. 1 of the Headline News this week was when the russian government formally suspended the intermediate range Nuclear Forces treaty in response to a similar move by the u. S. There was also a question about that the italian journalists wondered if russia was feeling the responsibility for a potential. Crisis and global arms control. The breakdown of the system of International Security began with the u. S. 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. Only inadmissibility of nuclear war and the recognition of its devastating consequences there has been no response from the u. S. Now once again just before talking to italian officials president Vladimir Putin while get to be welcomed by pope francis and the vatican and we dont know what the 2 are going to talk about but a little earlier the russian president s advisers said that the views and approach. When it comes to what the views that are given by the pope and the views that a lot of our putin has they are either close or identical so i will also tell you what comes out of that meeting what happens. Ok thanks a lot will be coming back throughout the day there in rome that was that you need to try to get. With the modern crisis at the border between the u. S. And mexico intensifying donald trump has offered 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 democrats though say trump is part of the problem not the solution they hold him responsible for the dire conditions at border Detention Centers and for Migrant Deaths to trump has responded saying the democrats arent doing enough to deter people from coming meanwhile a new poll has found that the line share of americans do believe that the situation at the southern border constitutes a crisis with more is. 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 myron 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.

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 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 workers as of late both sides accuse the other of being unamerican treasonous and totalitarian furthermore to contrary narratives of what actually happened when a.

K. Havent done enough to keep the daily life but here in r. T. Our guest debated who is really playing with fire. 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 havent. Been doing 1515 i am reports confirming irans 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 twentys not only at the. Audit did want the water for you to know that the United States purchased heavy water from iran prior to mr trump tearing up that really cares will draw in youre violating your way by continuing to produce its obligations you can rely on a large order on the avenue even read that agreement. To 1st go and read listen iran is a rotter that man before you 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 President Trump but one day this regime. Or who are the ones that were mining the wall tankers in the gulf that was the who shot down the the the drone there was in International Waters that was the really a mom of an illegitimate above the regime and all they doing is is now that theyre on their own a great deal of strain when they when they receive 150000000000. 00 in the wake of signing the g. C. P. O. A journal is not a full blood pledge treaty it was just agree with president obama and President Trump every legal right to withdraw from it and we came very close to may get done just 2 weeks ago unfortunately reason prevailed partly because of trams 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 to step back from its confrontation our policy come back to the table that the us left unilaterally and you know resume diplomacy with iran because the us has approached right now is anti diplomacy and provocative on war mongering. Watching our say hasta had see this as an american hip hop star provocative performances will headline a festival in saudi arabia that has sparked outrage in the kingdom well tell you why in a couple of minutes. What politicians do. They put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president and she. Wanted. To be close this is what before 3 of them or cant be. Interested always in the waters of. Georgia public especially younger generation. Without well sort of just because. They failed was a democratic reforms they are very risky. Economic reforms as well and when the sitting in the Parliament German parliament of georgia its made people simply mad to know because everyone realizes that this government has failed with everything in some brush and comb this to take seed to. Parliament where anybody independence was actually declared. Welcome back the arabias latest effort to look more liberal it pays to backfired its invited to a Popular American hip hop sing and provocative style to perform in the kingdom but it has upset some us. Oh well if Human Knowledge is going to perform in saudi arabia. Imagine waking up from a 3 year comma and the 1st thing you. Painting an empty musical festival in saudi arabia i dont think i woke up in some parallel universe. Shes going to go and shake her all her songs are indecent and about sex and shaking and then you tell me to where they are by and why the hell hypocrisy while thousands of saudi women cant even get out to get their basic needs thanks to the saudi government the saudi government is bringing him in ash to show the rest of the war hey we are an open minded country. Was. The crown prince how much insulin 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 human r. Ce concert are actually fully failed and wearing full length ropes society doesnt really buy theyre not buying into this socalled attempt to modernize sort of society in this way i think that this basically includes relates the problem with the rule of the crown prince of example a distant mission of high prophecy somebody who has made absolutely. No real changes during the entire time that he has been ruling as a tool or state media at the same time we all know about the scandal the questions youve asked your war in yemen all kinds of human rights abuses these are continually comments that are its authentic to do these sciri b. B. C. Theory we looked at this and it just is to kind of that seed that is feed them to their local audience. As well as a propaganda war to look more liberal saudi arabia is engaged in a real war as we heard there across the border in yemen where for the last 4 years its been fighting who 3 rebels who riyadh claims on tuesday launched a drone attack on a saudi airport injuring 9 the cross Border Strike attack comes amid a worsening humanitarian crisis in yemen 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 did spark outrage in yemen and accusations of corruption who thinks allege that the food program is being used to achieve a political way. The World Food Program is no longer clearing out the 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 one of the main concerns of the who theories is that the main donors to the food program are actually members of the anti who think coalition concerns have also been raised to over a biometric system required by the program who these believe though its open to exploitation by the Saudi Coalition we spoke to an antiwar campaigner drawn from 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 13000000 individuals yemenis including military officers soldiers and so on that the fear is that handing that information over to the World Food Program let me 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. That more information has come to light about the underwater tragedy in west brush areas being revealed and naval officers sacrificed their own lives to save colleagues when s. That noticeable caught fire on monday 14 crew members died in the tragedy our Senior Correspondent mark as the fs in the sitting in a mans place to where the incident happened.
