Welcome is just day here in moscow youre watching r. T. International that hundreds have gathered in northern mexico the 1st funeral of an American Family slaughtered by a drug cartel earlier this week it was later revealed that they were killed by weapons that originated in the u. S. And now reports there is little to restrict the flow of arms over the border. 9 americans dead 3 women and 6 children hit by mexican drug lords a 13 year old boy who walked 23 miles to get help for the others and now us politicians are willing to run through walls to serve up justice it seems this is the time for mexico with the help of the United States to wage war on the drug cartels and wipe them off the face of the earth we merely a way to call from your great new president the Mexican Government cant protect americans inside of mexico but america may have to take matters into our own hands this is only 50 miles away from our southern border we can certainly defend american citizens inside of mexico with mexico and mexico was not willing or able to do so is the senator suggesting that the United States send authorities or perhaps even troops into sovereign mexico now the perpetrators of this heinous crime may be subject to a high profile murder trial but are we overlooking something this was a mormon family slaughtered with 223 remington rifles made in america over 200000 firearms are smuggled from the usa to mexico every year this comes at horrific cost to society south of the border and 28000. 00 alone the Mexican Police opened 33000. 00 different homicide investigations at a higher rate of homicide than conflict at syria mexican law makes it near impossible for civilians to legally purchase guns in fact there is only one store in mexico that actually sells firearms but yet the mexican drug cartels continue to get their hands on high tech weaponry that because this isnt the weapons that are right in the United States of america because they are in the United States and the cost for ordering them to mexico are the lowest so that thats very lucky or in there if the United States. Or or they went to order they would be in in really me. The axes are armed or late some the structure on the snow arm and also on the session are harmed in concert or prick know or who are going to be by on its a hypocrisy in that sense the office of Government Accountability in the United States has documented that 70 percent of the weapons seized by the Mexican Police originated in the United States mexican leaders have long urged the usa to crack down on the flow of weapons into their country however attempts to do so so far have failed for decades heres the thing mexico is certainly dangerous or at least thats the message that donald trump rang out pretty loudly on the campaign trail in 2016 nearly 180000 Illegal Immigrants with criminal records ordered deported from our country are tonight roaming free to threaten peaceful citizens when mexico sends his people to not sending their best to sending people that have lots of problems at their bringing those problems with us. Theyre bringing drugs theyre bringing crime drugs like heroin and cocaine are flowing over the Mexican Border into the United States however the gangs that are executing people resisting Law Enforcement and transporting those drugs are armed with guns that originally flowed in the opposite direction the United States has to you know with its diction problem with this problem of consumption not just like being on the supply side of the things but also on that man and treating these as the Public Health issue would be a good idea to start with its also the sales of arms not just like benefiting those businesses that also benefit the economy of the United States and cup orating with next providing.

Person macron of france says that the once robust Nato Alliance is in terminal decline and is becoming brain dead although his comments have been dismissed by other members. Frances president and the french president used rather drastic words to express his view this is not how i see the state of corporation with nato i dont think that such a sweeping judgment is appropriate for me to that is in our interest its all Security Alliance that obviously we have to take our destiny in our own hands but the Transatlantic Partnership is absolutely indispensable i agree with the chancellor merkel nato is strong. United States North America and europe we do more together than we are done for decades we have implemented the strongest reinforcement so close to the furnace since the end of the cold war who made his remarks in an interview with the u. K. s economist magazine the french president also cast doubt on the reliability of nato is article 5 which requires Member States to come to one anothers defense if attacked and he suggested that the terror and has been undermined by washingtons faltering commitment and also said that europe now needs to assert itself as a geo political. Europe is now dealing for the 1st time with an american president who doesnt share our idea of the european project if we dont wake up theres a considerable risk that in the long run we would disappear geopolitically or at least that we will no longer be in control of our own destiny i believe that very deeply right from broadcasted on from friday told that the french leader wants to see a more independent europe. But president mccall seemed to be concerned about in particular was both the disengagement of the United States under donald trump who has made it clear that he would like europe to look after itself militarily much more than is the case the president think it was a little premature in the sense to certainly call nato brain dead but it does need to work out exactly what its for these days it was founded 40 years ago in principle to oppose what was perceived at the time as a communist threat from the east but of course thats no longer the case and its operations have spread into other parts of the world but the does need really to be serious thinking about what is nato for. Germany has been facing might spread demonstrations from its farmers as they disrupt transport routes using tract is to block traffic that has come as Industry Leader is say they are being treated unfairly by being blamed for Climate Change while having to bend to berlins bold moves to become Carbon Neutral and less obsess as the story. German farmers are furious but this is not a united front 2 camps are taking aim to the government over its environmental rules for very Different Reasons although one corner d thousands of farmers calls in gridlock in several major cities over environmental measures which they say are crippling their life put the biggest one in bonn to the german argued Culture Ministry were a 10 kilometer convoy brought the city to a halt. A looming ban on the controversial weed killer and tighter controls on slurry and fertilizer are just some of the measures that farmers say will force them out of business germanys lost 16 percent of its farms between the years of 2007 and 2017 a trend that the germans Farmers Association says is reflected across western europe farmers see the had enough of being labelled as the bad guys in the growing Climate Change movement we are not satisfied with the Agricultural Policy which is being shaped its a policy that is not based on facts hopwood new requirements are being issued all the time at a rate we simply cannot keep up with we have no chance to adjust our farms in time but the wish list from different n. G. O. S is getting longer and we are getting fed up with the fact that weve being made responsible for every dead insect and so on up she didnt come we are fed up with this pharma bashing campaign. We simply want to show that were fed up with being scapegoated for everything is negative we are to blame for Climate Change or the air or Water Pollution you cant go on like this. But on the other corner are the German Farmers accusing the government all fail. The environment and putting them out of business if you were one of the federal government to rethink its crime and goals its rather take further action to reduce c o 2 emissions instead of roadblocks they try taking the legal route the 1st time the government had been taken to court for failing to protect the environment. He has become clear that climate protection is prosecutable we can end up in coolant that is how i see it i believe that we should move forward with a positive attitude and i think more action must be taken now. Germanys plan was to cut 40 percent of Greenhouse Gas emissions by 2020 and compared with those in 1990 but it has fallen short it only reduced 31 percent but a court in berlin found that the targets were not legally binding on their turds the farmers are digging in on both sides we want to be perceived as people who produce Healthy Products in harmony with nature and not as the biggest destroyer of nature in germany that more needs to be done the saudi government recognizes that it must act now and then maybe opposites over the impact and solutions of Climate Change but theres one thing that they do agree on that bird lynn is failing them both federal law suits us for our team. Now despite a history of animosity between north and south korea people in the south believed that they would side with north korea in the event of a conflict with japan at least thats the result of a survey by a think tank in seoul almost half of those asked said that they would back north korea even though it was an option to stay neutral only 50 percent they would actually side with this despite continuous reminders by western allies of the threat posed by north korea. North koreas are a threat not only to the people of south korea but to the people all across our globe it has never been more important to be working closely together given the shared threat of north korea north korea has conducted 10 missile tests this year 2 of them involved solid fuel missiles which the north can launch with less warning we saw soldiers preparing patriot missiles to shoot down incoming Ballistic Missiles from north korea the most immediate threat tonight from north korea is far more conventional they could fire on south korea or the survey also comes at a time relations between south korea and japan a worsening with longstanding disputes reemerging. Human rights to any addicts that opt in told as he believes countries often painted a picture of northsouth relations to fit their own political agenda. These outside influences japan in the United States for their own political purposes i think they exaggerate the desire of the North Koreans to somehow attack south korea and i think that this will begin to bear out when these types of surveys and discussions take place and when the mood in ministration finally i hope has the ability and the the guts frankly to do what they say they want to do and that is engaged in the peace and settle the korean war with the grids and so i think japan will continue to fail in these flames until the South Koreans really put into it by formalizing relations and taking further serious steps toward peace. Us democrats have released 300. 00 pages of testimony from the countrys top diplomat in ukraine in it bill taylor claims there was an improper quid pro quo arrangement with key f. And he says that the release of hundreds of millions of dollars of Financial Aid was dependent upon ukraine launching a corruption investigation into trumps potential political rival joe biden some media say it is a Crystal Clear sign of President Trump skilled. This is a deeply credible knowledgeable person and he belatedly realizes that there is a quid pro quo his testimony has been one of the most important for democrats who say it provides the clearest explanation for what President Trump and its allies were demanding at the time this was all going down he texted are we now saying that Security Assistance a white house meeting are conditioned on investigations conditioned we talk about quid pro quo condition is a key word there that is what prosecutors call a head shot it is right on point but the republicans have pushed back against bill tireless account they do say that despite the ambassadors claims he actually had no you firsthand knowledge of the alleged arrangement. As i understand from one of the maybe the article in the New York Times giuliani was interested in getting some information on Vice President biden he says hes going to one client and hes useful to the client and then its your inference that mr giulianis goal would be the president s goal yes and your source is the New York Times yes so do you have any other source that the president s goal in making this request was anything other than New York Times i havent talked to the president i have no other information from what the president was thinking the muddied interest that george soros and other people can arrange for a diplomat like taylor to leave whatever position he had to get a very cushy lifestyle who knows what this guy has been promised who knows what his motivations actually may be but hes betrayed so far show horrible judgment coming out a one thing apparently on the strength that he read something in the New York Times even like the New York Times reporting sadly in the last 20 years has become scurrilous there are numerous examples of New York Times stories that were puffed up beyond all measure i mean this is really just beyond silly and to suggest with a straight face that the truck white house could not have could not consider his in treaty because they were too busy figuring out how to buy greenland is just a telegraph that this guy is you know is john mccain refer to people hes a whack a bird. So to come this as stress levels are up in the u. S. Apparently the people most is worried about next years president ial election as they are about every reason well have a look at why your son. 30 years ago the berlin wall fell the cold war had essentially come to an end the fall of this cold war symbol was heralded as a new spring of nations and the end of communism decades on what is the legacy of this historic event the promises of 989. 00 been fulfilled. Again now a new poll in the u. S. And yes the majority of adults there are getting stressed over the upcoming president ial elections in fact it worries people almost as much as terrorism or Climate Change and the reason the main reason behind the concern is believed to be the media blowing things out of proportion because of that nearly 40 percent of people now say that they have taken steps to reduce their consumption. At the same time were seeing democracy under threat were seeing state actors try to meddle in us elections this is bad for democracy they want to disrupt our democracy they want to disrupt our our system they want to cause doubt in their arse its true sions in our and our leadership donald trump circus has ruined our country and our country is all the rooms like nothing we have ever confronted before as a nation now we can binge watch the end of america with the increased attention i think that news media particularly in the United States has given. The political body i guess youd say i dont think that that is that notable a certain level of stress around election time can prompt action everyone knows for sure there is going to be an election and elections absolutely have consequences no matter where you live and so if it prompts people to take action Founding Fathers of the United States would say that might be a good thing and that some stress that leads to action in terms of voting would be a good thing and so sometimes a little bit of stress around election time that leads to action might be a productive thing but according to the poll Many Americans do you feel the country is not his lowest point in history they report mixed feelings about the countrys future with less than 40 percent believing the u. S. Is on the path to being stronger louden again says that americans and i beginning to understand that media is skewed in the way it presents information. Theres definitely a disproportionate negative coverage of politics in the United States media
