States picking a fight with each of them is going to have. Consequences on canada worried about. Canadian nationals china. Caught in the middle of washington and beijing. With a potentially bad in hip hop lyrics to the russian president reacting to a spate of closures. On the program. In such a big brand nowadays when. People determine what. Youre looking for censorship youre looking for this thing. Creativity. Good monday morning worldwide News Headlines on r. T. International for me rory sushi and the whole crew welcome to your story. The hunt for russian medlars is not abating leaked messages sent by a b. B. C. Correspondent suggest that the broadcasters news team is in search of any leads connecting moscow and the yellow fest protest movement in fronts and one of our messages the correspondent said editors were quote out for blood. Well maybe some russian businesses capitalizing greatly on the protests maybe the protesters eating cutlass a mass maybe the far right to ring leaders that im looking for angles yes the editors to man some blood over the last five weeks weve seen france and gulf by violence as people come out on to the streets to say they simply cant afford to live on the french president s money when michael died. Text messages between a b. B. C. Russian journalist and another reporter apparently show who to point the finger of blame marked not the french government not french taxes but the kremlin taxes people cant really manage to to pay everything life is so expensive must be the russians behind it right we asked the b. B. C. To respond to these potentially embarrassing revelations this is what they have to say as the French Foreign ministry had spoken publicly about media reports of a possible russian influence in the protests it was perfectly reasonable for a correspondent to raise the subject however in the end her reports made no mention of a possible connection with russia at all we stand by our impartial independent journalism i spoke to some people here on the streets of paris and asked them if they saw the shadowy hand of the kremlin behind these demonstrations everything is possible nowadays. Under the you know of course they are not behind the man they say the russians are behind the us presidency as well so you know. Of course about the difference we never happy about everything we asked a b. B. C. Russia if theyre still looking for connections between moscow and the french yellow vest protests and whether the correspondent was under pressure to pursue that particular angle sadly b. B. C. Russia declined to comment in time of the russian Foreign Ministry has criticize. The b. B. C. Accusing it of acting in a cynical manner. The cynicism of journalists is amazing were talking about a company that has propagated all its life and unbiased and independent approach and its professionalism as e. P. To me of the media world i have a question for this very british regulators of the media space and the public how do they evaluate this kind of compilation of facts that employees of their television and great you companies are doing. Messengers were published by russia as a Real News Agency and russia based journalist Brian Mcdonnell told us hes not surprised by the b. B. C. s take on the story its quite clear here that you know theyve gone for a very very tenuous link between entirely homegrown french protests which have seen nothing to do with russia in a desperate attempt to find some kremlin angle to kind of you know fulfill the agenda that they they feel they must do at the moment which is to get as much money as they can i suppose you know for the idea of fighting some in for war with russia i mean just off the top of my head i can mention things like you know montenegros you know nato vote recently was russia was supposed to be interfered some idiots is the only word i can use in britain theyre actually trying to say that russia was responsible for brics that now come on you know i mean brics it has been on the table well i mean your skepticism in englands been on the table for them particularly for you know twenty five or thirty years you see now you know in america theyve tried to make it look like russia was somehow responsible for electing donald trump so this is just the latest in a litany of you know. Reaching like this. By minister Justin Trudeau has expressed concern over two canadians detained in china last week saying his government is taking the situation very seriously he says the arrests are politically motivated resulting from canada now being caught up in the ongoing trade war between beijing and washington. When the two largest economies of the world china and the United States start picking a fight with each other the escalating trade war between them is going to have all sorts of unintended consequences on canada and potentially on the entire Global Economy so were very worried about that the arrested canadians are michael cole form a diplomatic used of breaking chinas ngo law and michael an entrepreneur with senior contacts in north korea reportedly including kim jong un or china arrested them citing alleged activities harmful to National Security that was right after they see a photo of chinese smartphone and make a wild way was detained in kind of a americas request. Picks up the story. Pequot on the high flying chinese executive arrest her income is a outrage her home nations claim its at the request of the u. S. Grant her an eye watering bail throw in a threat of extradition see china then arrest to canadians and retaliate and all that well thats potentially the biggest trade deal the world at the scene is being hammered out by two of the best and polities washington and beijing complicated isnt it well lets try and break it down starting with those two canadian nationals joining me tonight and citizens marco coverage and michaels paiva a suspect its often gaijin and activities that endangered the National Security of the peoples republic of china china how to warned of the coming retaliation with beijing grave consequences the calendar if the wall way c. F. I. Was not released but as countess big brother has rushed to its defense the off of the tension of two canadian citizens is unacceptable that they ought to be returned the United States is good for that whether there are citizens or citizens of other countries whether this washington fits in the picture one show was arrested not because of something she did personally but because the u. S. Thinks the company was trying to evade the american embargo against iran and her extradition to the u. S. Is on the menu mung and others are alleged to have put Financial Institutions at risk of criminal and civil liability in the United States by deceiving those institutions as to the nature and extent of while hes business in iran but it is the snag many major Financial Companies including americas own j. P. Morgan have had to pay a hefty fines for violating u. S. Sanctions in the past yet weve never seen their execs being thrown into custody making the case a wild card but its trying to seem to suggest the wall of Little Company puts the size when it comes to making money. If i think its good for what will be served. The largest trade deal ever made i would certainly intervene if i thought it was necessary but it seems the man in the oval office is getting the concessions he wanted because beijing has now announced the suspension of tariff hikes on the u. S. In things when the two worlds biggest economies face a tech tug of war it seems the nice guy finishes the last of Us Government advisor on asia told sophie co that the arrest of wild ways was part of a larger plan what doesnt fold a bit later today here when i say in fact trump didnt even know she was arrested at the time he was having dinner with she had the g. Twenty this is part of a long broader u. S. Attempt. To push back on Chinese Technology stealing i. P. R. Steel and so on chinese big is not that different from american big if youre ali baidu or ten cent you want access to Global Markets chinas only fourteen percent or so of the world market they want access to the other eighty six percent. And paused here in moscow banning corn so its not the way to tackle the potentially Bad Influence of lyrics thats what Vladimir Putin said reacting to a recent spate of hip hop gigs being shut down by authorities in russia. Looks at how live rock music is generating debate. Question whats going on in this video. This guys called husky his gig got canceled he got on top of the car and started rapping his rhymes out no mike needed the fans. He was grabbed by the cops a spent a few days behind bars but charges of starting an unsanctioned gathering of people were eventually dropped welcome to the world of russian showbiz and late twenty eight seeing the young hip hoppers corner of it. Soon. As the. Sun. Was. With. Some of these videos get more clicks on you tube than the number of people in this country gigs have been cancelled in places from here all the way to here reasons and one case a watchdog suddenly realized the venues hygiene Inc Condition wasnt good enough or india could screw senior local official said the rejected rappers songs may deal it probable blow to the moral and ethical values of the modern society and perm a band was reportedly told to vanish from the city all together and it all got to the point when even the busy man whos got more than ninety nine problems said that a gig aint one spoil surprises with things. And banning these artists is the least effective way one can come up with to address certain issues because such methods would only produce the opposite effect drugs raise the most concern naturally since they are the surest way to nations to trying it dont millions of teens listen to this kind of music probably quite a few million and drugs and all that dirty language wont be music to the ears of their parents so adults only or eighteen plus tags should be mandatory for most of these gigs but bang im all together come on the smartphone generation will always find a way to hear the rhymes they want to hear plus check out some of the commons under huskys videos never listen to husky before but if the Russian Prosecution Service insists i will start doing it now thanks never thought hockey was so cool thank you police for sharing info on such a talented artist and i guess when it comes to hip hop as we know it lines on drugs will probably never find themselves out of tune with the rappers. Italian fashion house prada has pulled a range of accessories featuring monkey like figurines of allegations of racism. People online called out the fashion house for not seeing a strong resemblance to racist caricature of black people prada has since apologized saying any offense was unintentional. The problem ali are fantasy charms theyre imaginary creatures not intending to have any reference to the real world and certainly not blackface prada group never had the intention of offending anyone and we have who are all forms of racism embraces imagery. Well with the giants getting embroiled in ever more scandals as people accuse them of being tone deaf to diversity racism and body image we put the issues up for debate. I think proud to call it completely wrong there. Its quite obvious to me that to. Put art with a black face and big red lips its pretty obvious lookin back for any any person of ethnic origin to especially a black person to see that i think prada has made it perfectly clear that they had no intention of presenting this says as any kind of racist message or or blackface says its come to be commonly called when i first saw the image of myself i did think straight away to the minstrel show so i think how can you how can such a big brand nowadays when divesting such a big get it completely wrong to save or to think that a company of that size and that reputation would purposely go out and make these little figurines that would purposely affair and or mock a race of people youd have to be out of your mind to believe in freedom of speech and freedom of creativity and however they should be done taking into consideration peoples feelings when you let people determine whats offensive to the masses youre looking for censorship youre looking for the stifling of creativity they go hand in hand totally secret i dont know what address a case fink and you know hes talking about its a fantasy show and use fantasies it is that you will say it because its certainly not my kind of fantasy now you know changes are happening and its time to become more diverse fleets why cant we have a company that caters to skinny thin women and and we do have companies that cater to heavier women so so should they be protested because theyre not catering to women i mean the whole thing is just saying when you think about it look around ones different you know ethnicity age size just get up there and start being inclusive of everyone i mean youre selling your brand to literally everyone now on the story so come on be inclusive.

From what we could see in reporting at least there has been a very kind of a generally naisi attitude in using. That ten thousand figure provided by the un the sole feature figure since twenty sixteen field many newspapers and Media Outlets are still using that has you know i think which significantly downplay the devastation collecting fatality numbers hes usually the single most difficult piece of information you can get from a conflict because of course there are reporting by years that because there is a limited access the bottom of a behind those figures are of course the personal tragedies of individual families our sister channel r.

Was willing to explore some fairly off the wall if not ethically dubious ways to do just that. The specific game over the Research Program was to examine the possibility of controlling the behavior of a dog in an open field or means of remotely triggering electrical stimulation of brain. Electrodes preparation itself offered some special problems with a dog they did not ordinarily face with the rams as an experimental subjects such as infection of the electrodes site due to a failure of the surgical wounds to heal.
