Headline news from around the world live from moscow this is r. T. International im calling bright thanks for watching and welcome to the program 1st then the United States and china are approved faced by face trade deal they want to cut tariffs on chinese goods while boosting american exports to china it follows a bruising 19 month trade war between the worlds 2 largest economies now from. Well rumors have been circulating for the past few days that some kind of deal was in the works to resolve the trade disputes between the usa and china the idea being that the tariffs would be scaled back in exchange for tens of billions of dollars of Agricultural Products and other things being purchased from the United States and some concessions on chinas part now in response to these rumors that we heard the democrats speaking up this was Chuck Schumer reports say president sold out for a temporary unreliable promise from china to purchase some soybeans weve heard this song and dance from china before yet again President Trump cant be relied on to do the right thing even when his statements were pointing in the right direction now we then heard from donald trump speaking up about how this was simply fake news this is what he said the wall street journal story on the china deal is completely wrong especially this statement on tariffs fake news they should find a better lead but just a few hours afterwards we heard china come forward with an official press Conference Announcing that phase one of the deal was on the verge of being implemented this is what we heard from the official Chinese Press conference the agreement will create a better conditions for china and the United States to strengthen cool peroration in economy and trade properly monies unresolved economic and trade disputes all differences and promote stable growth of chinas economic and trade relations given the downward pressure on the World Economy now trump spoke up afterwards saying that essentially china had agreed to a number of structural changes and would be purchasing a u. S. Agricultural products as well as energy and manufactured goods trump also said that he is hoping to begin work on phase 2 of the agreement but he would want to do that immediately not wait until 2020 this trade war has been asking lading between the United States and china sense june of 28. I mean theres been an escalation of terror of many many different you know regulations being put in place and different products being targeted but it seems that some kind of resolution is in the works so we now have an agreement of some degree so folks we waiting to see what happens next there has been hope before the trade war was going to be resolved and those hopes of then been shortly afterward disappointed so what comes next it remains to be seen but at the moment many are optimistic that it appears that things are moving forward well the american brought down the deal and explained why its perhaps too early to talk about any real success just yet. Is this deal going to end up being no different than what these 2 countries had to begin with its like if i take something away from you and then i give it back to you i didnt really give it to you exactly and this was actually the exact same thing that was on the table back in march if you remember the trade deal that was on the table back in march like we said we will buy more ads you take back your tears this is exact same thing and trump was like no we demand ip protection we demand rights who are American Companies in china you need to restructure your government to not handle private corporations he demanded all of these things and now china was like no were not going to do that and look at the terms of phase one here its so vague and all of those things are taken out the only thing that are actually legitimate on the table are literally purchases and rollback of tariffs so the journey is one of those to roll back as you say are we did we roll them all bartz or not all of them not all of them are all back so the main Sticking Point of why this had to happen today aside from the fact that it was also some impeachment stuff going on right so you kind of take over the news but aside from that as of sunday about 160000000000. 00 worth of new tariffs are going to be added to chinese goods and the reason that is needed to get something done today is because had that been enacted for the 1st time American Consumers were going to start feeling this trade deal in a negative way and he doesnt want that base one isnt is a non deal right now this is a deal for public consumption its just a face really the crux of it is face to face 3 and right now in order to save even more face trump said phase 2 is going to be great phase 2 is going to be eminent and we will see how phase one turns out. British Prime MinisterBoris Johnsons conservative party is celebrating an historic victory in the general election he says it gives him a powerful mandate to deliver bricks it in a few weeks and the other corner though the poll delivered the worst result for the labor party since the 1930 s. But hoping to draw a line of the years of bitter Nation Wide Division johnson appealed for the healing to begin but his triumph mobilized hundreds to turn out angry protests Saskia Taylor was at the demonstration outside downing street. Well they said that would never be affirmed as divisive as the press at referendum but im not so sure because im standing here well because it downing street which is of course the Prime Ministers residence and im surrounded as you can see why 100 of those photos who are frustrated who are furious and who are angry at the results of the space in general election the result of course being a landslide victory for the conservative party the best result in fact since Margaret Thatcher in 1987 a very disappointing night for its main task today that is the labor party which saw its washed result in the teeth it is to those who backed boris and wanted to give him his majority in a pretty happy safe secure 5 years of tory government but for the minority will they woke up this friday and probably thought they were living in some kind of progress but they took not mope around they decided to rally together they decided to organize themselves quite a social media and move descended on white pool and they are very clearly categorically condemning the newly elected Prime Minister we can hear chants of chorus course cries out out out out with the tories of course talk to not my Prime Minister on all the pac cause you can see no 2 races a stand up to racism and to sexism and this is what theyre accusing the junks nothing of saying hes a good hes a sexist hes a racist hes a homophobe and that his comments such as the fact that muslim women look like netiquette says because of that religious head what a prime example of how free is just not fit to need a culture as multicultural strikes us as the water in the United Kingdom and one thing of course that i want to point out to you is the European Union flag how could one talk about british politics in this day and age without talking about brecht said lets make absolutely no mistakes yes or stop. Party won because judge mccool been a leader of the Opposition Labor Party proved to be a very controversial pick up hes been smith is a socialist a very fragile fiscal views but it was bracks it brought to turris triumph now of course if weve learned anything from the last 3 years the fact that someone has a majority in parliament doesnt necessarily mean that they can get anything done but it will make it considerably easier for forest as he tries to push through that directive by trying to keep us 2020 so we know thats what since 2016 politics has proved to be so into fights and its been such a tense Political Climate and protests like this anything to go by we start to see a continuation of the fracturing of society so its a good seller in downing street north of the border its also been a decisive win for the Scottish National party which is regarded there calls for another referendum for independence from the u. K. Kevin owen discuss that and other election consequences with correspondent daniel. The polls are predicting a tory majority you throughout the Election Campaign but not to this extent i mean labors been decimated losing your key seats in the northern heartlands of the midlands war many of them seats which voted labor for 3050 even close to 100 years so this is very much been a defeat for labor based really on lot of people are saying on the question of brics it went in with a very clear message get bricks it done it was very clear very simple it resonated with those areas with those communities that voted to leave and weve heard Michel Barnier say no way were going to get a trade deal signed with britain by the end it will be 21. 00 Boris Johnson so its going to be well thats the thing i mean no trade deal of this size or complexity has been negotiated with the e. U. Ever and hes saying that were going to come out by genevieve the 1st weve been going until june 2020 to negotiate this deal its also got be ratified of course by the 27. 00 Member States if that doesnt happen the prospect of a new deal bricks that come this Time Next Year is that very much on the table big spoke in the works along the line whats going to happen on the border between Northern Ireland or the republic of ireland thats still not sorted up plus theres the whole scottish question are kicking off even more nationalist parties have done fantastically well in this election i mean speaking of ireland the deputy leader. Dogs lost his seat to the new can for the 1st time since 1921 and of ireland nationalists now outnumber unionist s. N. P. Again a whole different kettle of fish certainly no disunity in scotland they were very clear they wanted to remain in the e. U. The s. N. P. Has capitalized on that and made Massive Gains 48 seats won 8 percent increase last night we saw nicolas there isnt jubilant dancing in fact when the leader just wins and lost her seat and this is what she had to say on independence referendum last night stunning election win last night for the s. N. P. Renew reinforces and strengthens the mandate we have from previous elections to offer the people of scotland a choice over the future that mandates. Is that it is for the Scottish Parliament nor a waste mr government to say whether and when this should be a new referendum on independence the office of Prime Minister saying theres got no intention of allowing a friend in the near future that you the result of the 20. Has to be respected and there will be a return to division and uncertainty so hes been on an unequivocal thats not a priority thats not going to happen s. And p. Theyre already preparing to sit down next week and publish what they describe as a detailed democratic case for letting scotland aside and whether there should be a 2nd independence referendum so Boris Johnson isnt going to have it easy he may have his hands untied he may you know have lost the opposition of his own m. P. s of labor hes got difficult negotiations coming up and hes got the question of Scottish Independence and in deep trouble in Northern Ireland as well to deal with that and in the wake of that conservative clean up after u. K. Discussed what it all means now for that all but inevitable breaks it. It to all intents and purposes the selection in the n. B. A. Election which in itself was a de facto referendum and therefore in that context it is some of this and it does say that labor votes in tradition but that in areas such as the West Bromwich and outside a booming and embrace the conservative party in many large majorities then than in the leafy suburbs the sorry i dont see a referendum taking place now you know if its a case of ever wanting to rejoin the e. U. It will be as an outside a study from a position of great obliqueness press it was probably because syces factor in most voters minds but there were a few other issues that i mean its fairly obvious that the labors policies were quite hard left and i think that probably didnt resonate quite so well with as much as the public as they had hoped some of the policies were a little bit a little bit extreme to say the least so that was probably part of it but i think yes the predominant issue was was bracks that and the conservative Party Presented the way forward the certainty of the resolution and the end to the torment and frustration and confusion that weve been suffering for the last few years of course it doesnt mean that the process is finished but i think the 1st stage and crucially the political element of it is now resolved. The United Nations is accusing the chilean army and police of committing Human Rights Violations during a crackdown on protests investigators highlighted cases of unlawful killings and torture here are the key findings. Human Rights Violations documented by always c. A. G. R. Include the Excessive Force and this is 3 use of force that led to unlawful killings and injuries arbitrary detentions and torture and ill treatment of thousands have been demonstrating since mid october demanding an overhaul of the constitution the chilean government called the un report disappointing it said the deaths happened in situations of extreme violence caused by the protesters the unrest was initially triggered by a hike in public transport cost but then snowballed into a nationwide movement for social reform the government imposed a state of emergency and deployed troops on the streets. Getting money i mean that we deeply regret the allegations each of them is being or will be investigated i want to emphasize that the needs to introduce a state of emergency arose from a situation of violence and not Peaceful Demonstrations as some have tried to claim the police chief they keep a lot of i know. Its a little bit. I dont know any kind of trade to go and im very tired of. Feeling the pressure of the protests will continue for the 1st time in. These big 8 more. People very seriously. He did say that the government crashed. Systematically i mean they report to use the word systematically but theyve been systematic very rich in the operation. In a surprise move the berlin transport authorities applied for unesco World Heritage status although the company jokingly admits that it sometimes known for its overcrowding and somewhat rude service it says that the transport system is the only place left in the rapidly changing city where berlin is still the evangelists sepsis takes a closer look. What does the cost of the much you paid. Transit system have in common well nothing yet but they may soon be sharing the spot and eunice schools heritage list d p foci is. London and could decide to try to be called deviant by c. M. Have in mind is. Done by law to teach to be called the berlin Transit Authority has applied for a World Heritage status and wants to be included on the same list of some of the worlds most fascinating architectural monuments but what makes the berlin Transit System so special he appeared in a stock page design side. Its certainly convenient and even runs 24 hours a day on fridays and saturdays but if youve ever been on one of their subways youll realize that the stuff could be a little bit frosty. The education. As unfair the difference. To the feet. Of a good thing its all good for a magician so Customer Service is not really their thing in mention the overcrowding and the long delays so we went around asking berliners what they think about their Transit System and whether it should be included on heritage list its one of the oldest so i think you have to save it and to use it spinning great transportation to use but i dont know if its exactly. Why not because its an its a quite old system in and in germany the ground system and. Underground stations look like a huge because here its i dont think it should be however hes shown. Its a Service Rather than a truck. With people already saying yes on the companys website. Whole unesco right it could indeed have some traction but it could also just be a ticket to promote the citys Public Transit network so remember next time youre angrily to a bus by your driver or youre already limited space is being invaded on one other subways this could all be part of a World Heritage experience magical slips us for artsy.
