Despite still being wanted in the us for statutory rape if you find out if actions speak louder than our. Good figures are United Artists and man hes an adult so he should assume the consequences of his actions i believe the story of polanski is ridiculous its existed for 30 or 40 years dont they have anything to do except protest. For the very good evening to them thanks for watching its kevin i would hear it out International Welcome to this latest 30 minute live starting this coming in from munich political disunity in the west is dominating this years Munich Security Conference with a lot of big names where officials from around the world are tackling the biggest questions in International Affairs with divisions growing between the u. S. And europe right now russias foreign minister is also been speaking hes been calling for reconciliation with moscow. Across europe correspondent peter all of it in the very in capital i think whats said that they said lot of big names there too and conflicting views from either side of the atlantic on how the west is faring right now. Thats right well start off though with Sergey Lavrov the Russian Foreign minister he gave a very quick fire address to the Munich Security Conference he started off by talking about what russia sees as attempts to rewrite history of world war 2 speaking as we approach of course the 75th anniversary of the end of that conflict he went on to say that the spirit of alliance is as important today between russia and the west as it was 75 years ago between the then soviet union and the west he did say that when it came to improving relationships with europe as some european leaders have been speaking about iraq this year security conference there remained what mr laffer of called a crisis of confidence. That is the u. S. Would be most what you show its a crisis of trust is being felt particularly strongly in European Affairs escalating tensions as nato is a military infrastructure advance eastwards the unprecedented scale of military exercises close to the russian borders the inflating of Defense Budgets beyond all possible measure all of this generates unpredictability the confrontational dynamics of the cold war have been recreated the scoop. Well one of those World Leaders talking about improving ties between europe and russia was frances money when my call earlier on saturday he was also speaking out about his idea to get more autonomy for europe when it comes to defense so that european nations could be able to act independently of the United States. In a more europe will move to put the we can see that there is a certain weakening of the west that has been observed 15 years. Ago we thought of ronnies would be universal values that would always ruled world i think were facing the hour of truth here we have a lot in common with the United States freedom and so on so this is why we fight together numerous was but is not quite what america wants we need to develop our own strategy. While representing the United States has interests with the secretary of state mike pompei o d reject this out of hand claims this western nations role on the International Stage needs to evolve. Happy to report that the death of the Transatlantic Alliance is grossly over exaggerated. The west is winning we are collectively winning the west as winning freedom and democracy are winning or winning the west will win lets keep at it lets keep winning. The world secular state my pompei o and secretary of defense mark us but i think quite a bit of china bashing while they were at the podium here in munich they were later followed to that same podium by the chinese minister of Foreign Affairs wang year he described those claims by the United States as well lies and not backed up by any facts hard to see those 2 delegations sitting down for dinner tonight in munich but the still a lot to come here at the Munich Security Conference and continue into sunday were expecting libya to fall into focus on the ongoing crisis in that country course all the news that comes from that ill be bringing you here on r. T. All right thanks peter all of our euro correspondent across all that last couple of days well as mentioned the french president was also there offering his thoughts on the economic penalties imposed on russia beginning 24. 00 to identified several areas where the scope for greater cooperation he said with moscow. I dont think we should lift the sanctions im just saying that the sanctions and counter sanctions didnt really work out we europeans suffer as much from the sanctions as the russians do in our Strategic Dialogue with russia we must take the opportunity to frozen conflicts address cyber issues and talk about space and the militarization of space we also need to be able to talk about addressing conflicts like syria im not pro russian or anti russian im just pro european if you look at the geographic facts we need to build a Security Architecture based on mutual trust that certainly europe has to open talks to all powers in the world is the only way to exist to china russia and the United States and be a sort of a neutral at least dealing with all these larger now were not in this division of the west and the rest and a sort of imposition of International Order the stone the agreements of alpha this is all over the world these multiple or there are powers which are reclaiming their role like china and russia its the same level like the western countries so this is something difficult for the European Union to reach to redefine its reason to exist and its aids. The big story at say one of the biggest digital defense contracts in American History is being put on ice Online Retail giant amazon is taking on the pentagon in court after washington gave the 10000000000. 00 deal to rival microsoft the lawsuit argues donald trump was biased in its decision against amazon supreme or jeff bezos in a feud between them stretching back to trumps 1st president ial campaign. He wants political influence so that amazon will benefit from it if i become president oh do they have problems they get outside my view is thats not an appropriate way for a president ial candidate to behave be using the Washington Post for power so that the politicians in washington dont tax amazon like they should be taxed finally tracked by donald trump will still reserve him a seat on the blue origin rocket send donal to space so sorry to hear about the news about jeff bozo being taken down by competitors reporting i understand is far more accurate than the reporting in his lobbyist newspaper the amazon Washington Post. The end of last year presell stress the importance of this military project with the pentagon but next as caleb maupin reports tonight hes now hindering the deal one by microsoft. Remember when jeff bezos called out his tech rivals for not stepping up to the plate when the country needs protecting and my view is this big tech is going to turn their backs on the department of defense this country is in trouble this is how were going to do it we are going to support the department of foods this country is important the Silicon Valley tech giants love to walk hand in hand with the pentagon but their employees not so much google workers protested a Program UsingArtificial Intelligence for drones and microsoft employees have voiced their concerns about a 10000000000. 00 contract with the pentagon to offer Cloud Services but lucky enough for the department of defense amazon led by jeff bezos americas richest man has stepped up to the plate they say amazon is happy to do business with the pentagon were going to continue support to do this is a great country and it does need to be defended so it turns out that when amazon didnt get that contract 8 and microsoft got it instead they as ows was angry he took it to court citing bias from donald trump the preservation of Public Confidence in the nations procurement process requires discovery and supplementation of the administrative record particularly in light of president trumps order to screw amazon the question is whether the president of the United States should be allowed to use the budget of the department of defense to pursue his own personal and political ends but the irony is that jeff bezos with his legal action as double crossed the very same entity he swore to protect as a result of the lawsuit the entire program which the pentagon says is necessary for National Security has been put on a hold the military brass is unhappy were disappointed in the ruling and believe the actions taken in this litigation have unnecessarily delayed implementing department of defenses modernization strategy. And deprived our war fighters of a set of capabilities they are generally mean the Us Department of defense says it will lose 5. 00 to 7000000. 00 every month the program is the lead is us changing as opinion in a way that serves as pocketbook is not necessarily or may serve a spark a book is not particularly a surprise i think theres a debate to be had on the degree to which these social media Tech Companies and Search Companies are able to sway the assuage problem opinion change Public Opinion restrict debate these are big issues that i think are the balance when people think about it or theres going to be a drive by i believe a populist drive to lessen the power of big tech the cuts across the political spectrum well apparently for the worlds richest man the country only needs National Security protection when hes getting a share of the Defense Budget kaleb up and r. T. New york. University of virginia in the us is coming to sharp criticism online after one of his students claimed to many white people using a Multicultural Community central campus video was posted on social media which garnered nearly 4000000 views partly theres just too many white people in here this is these are people of color so lets be really harmless they are the space that youre taking because it does make some of us feel seen comfortable and easy to anyway when youre the whole point of multiculturalism is for diversity that includes all cultures but the university of virginias new Multicultural Student Center is apparently just for people of color thats not multiculturalism thats racism imagine if you white person stood up and announced there were too many black people in the room and the mic other white people uncomfortable how is this not considered racism. Too many white people so this is why so many of our ancestors fought and died for freedom and equality just so we can have a blacks only area really where the center was open late 2016 with a view to supporting under represented a marginalized communities but conservative students say the video documents instead a clear case of racial intolerance for Sydney University to clarify that indeed everyones welcome it said facility heres the reaction from legal and social commentators. The video was crazy but what it was it shows to me is that multicultural just means quote unquote people of color now why is it doesnt really mean cultures which is what i would think that it means it should be a space where everybody in college where it is not really seems to be that way at least to some students that were right there in this in or even if we were not a Multicultural Center and it were lets say a black area or an asian area or an expanding area you see a b. Star and so exclude certain people everybody should be welcome in these particular spaces of cuckoos we say because if youre not welcome them are going back to minute past of segregation and jim crow and separation and i dont think we want to go backwards in time we want to go forwards in south if you want to have a place where people learn to be more tolerant one of the key aims of such a place is supposed to be explaining everyone can come here and everyone is going to be tolerated it apparently is the case that not just this center but the university communicated that there are places that are preferred for some racial groups over other racial groups and that is in fact not a marketing problem not only which problem but a fundamental rejection of what our country stands for every american is local regardless of their racial group and as long as the uva is a taxpayer funded institution it not only must adhere to that it ought to be championing that. But a major plot twist in the french equivalent of the oscars we can tell you about the entire this is our academy has quit just 2 weeks before this years glittering ceremony a paris correspondent shot to dubin spaceplanes why. This years award season has been plagued by allegations from a lack of diversity in the candidates weve been using that as sag over the last couple years oscars so why this year the oscars they have a new house a oscars wider than ever do a lack of the fairer sex hollywood is stuck in the 1970 s. The criticisms a may have been like water off a ducks back of the boards of the british and american academies but here in france they take it its hot 2 weeks before the french oscars are due to take place in type board has resigned to honor those men and women who make cinema happened in 2019 to find call and ensure that the festival film remains just that a festival the board has an animist we decided to resign this collective decision will allow complete renewal of the board this is a need here in france of come under fire off it was revealed that convicted child rapist and fugitive from the us Justice System polanski topped the nominations list the director who fled to france in the 1970 s. Received the nords for his historical drama. And disposal i. Do so since only love. To compose. The film has received rave reviews from the critics and even had a standing ovation for its premiere at the Venice Film Festival but feminist groups have picketed some of those premise after they found out that if this is up and they would feel this to celebrate an abuser like polanski is to support the system of a punitive for male violence and silence the voices of the victims the riaa would then deepened when hundreds of actors directors movie produces and personalities demanded profound changes all the same to me they were unhappy off to a female director and the female writer was. Snubbed in an open letter to the academy they did not state as being dispensed with the screws tightening the board took the decision to disband but even that decision has come under fire imagine what happens next new college of voters with all male selfesteem opacity and sexism who will eventually stop cheering rapists peter criminals on the run so how has it gone down here in paris but is a film more important than those who make its personally. I believe the story of polanski is ridiculous its existed for 30 or 40 years dont they have anything to do except protest is there nothing else in france now really. More soft in my opinion the 2 figures are United Artists and man hes an indulged so he should assume the consequences of his actions. This is to me this is a board resigned rate for them and maybe these resignations can fix the issues and this is what im hoping for the actors the artists the directors for everyone. Else think he has an artistic side beyond comparison with other artists from the human point of view its not good what he did but its past and we cant make the aspects. Come on of the surface they are not international this is new criticizes a glimpse of an orwellian future for Britain Police to send a womans place of work to christen about a series of tweets e bay will tell you what was tweets were what it was about stay with us if you will its after the break with gold no less. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. Spearing Dramatic Development only. Exist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. What politicians do. Put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president. For some want. To do like to be crooks its like before 3 of the more people. Interested in the why. Should. I get thankfully where this is day so britain is in danger of slipping into a Dystopian Society party thats the warning for one judge after he ruled on the case of a former Police Officer being investigated for posting allegedly trans phobic tweets. To the police turning up in his place of work because of his political opinions must not be underestimated to do so would be to undervalue a cardinal democratic freedom in this country we have never had a checa a good start for or stasi we have never lived in a well in society. Well the case came about after a transgender woman reported tweets by 55 year old harry Miller P
