Get them into british waters. And u. K. And Party Leader Nigel farage accuses the french navy of a scorching Illegal Migrants directly into british waters amid a sharp spike in the number of refugees trying to cross the water. One minute past 11 am here in moscow this friday may 22nd do hope we find you well and thank you for choosing r. T. International for your news update this hour. The u. S. Has announced its ripping up another major arms control agreement called open skies raising fears of a Global Security treaty hard allied signatories to make reconnaissance flights over each others territories donald trump planes russia is to blame for forcing washington ojt of the agreement. That we have a very Good Relationship with russia but russia didnt adhere to the treaty so our job they are here we will pull out but theres a very good chance or make a new agreement or do something to put that agreement back together. First cross life or more in this to. Tailor saskia the move by the white house particularly its timing has caught not all but many by surprise bring us up to speed on what were looking at here what of course during the trumpet ministration great accustom to the whole book being torn up and indeed International Treaties too from the power of climate agreement to the Iran Nuclear Deal and continuing this pattern of donald trump announced that the u. S. Would be with joran from 8. Control agreements socalled open skies treaty not just a quick recap the open skies treaty was actually proposed way back touring the cold war but it only came into effect in 2002 and since then 35 states including nato allies have signed on to it not in a sense there is nations to carry out an arm to constance like each others character to make sure theres no unusual military activity going on and as its name suggests it is a bent to transparency to trust of course that peace had over 1500 flights have taken place since the early 2000 since being in the successful until now apparently so why did it sometimes out while washington has very firmly laid the blame russias doorstep saying it by late conditions something moscow denies of print this take on situations that. I mean accounts of can support or the americans the Current Administration conceptually fundamentally have an aversion to any kind of control over American Military activity especially when that control is exercised on or over a u. S. Territory in a solution with other countries follow the americans i doubt it mr european seem to me to understand that the agreement has added value as an instrument of trust an instrument of predictability transparency and that is how we see it. Unfortunately it fits the policy of the Us Administration undermined old agreements in the sphere of arms control. So russia is still very keen to act and i are adding that if that had been 8 times violated it was only in response to the u. S. And south not playing by the rules. Its not just washington and moscow its a you mention dozens of countries are involved in this treaty has there been International Reaction well this is obviously not just worrying us that moscow for the treaty is close signatures this is a massive betrayal because they say that this still is hugely beneficial pool and no one has benefited from it more than the u. S. Which by the way they conducted more than twice as many right to russia as russia has over the u. S. So many within the International Community are saying this is a not example of the u. S. Trying to shed arms control restrictions and donald trump making and not amused that makes the world well less stable than it was when he took office even 2816 its not surprising that arkansas is including the u. S. That stepping away from the open skies will deal and major blow to Global Security stability. We reiterate our concern regarding the erosion of the u. S. Russia arms control regime i think we can stress enough that this arms control regime has provided security benefits for the entire its entire International Community by constraining strategic arms competition ending search agreements without anything to replace them could result in destabilizing activities such as a dangerous new arms race leading to a possible miscalculation i very much regret the announcement by the Us Government that it intends to withdraw from the open skies treaty the treaties an important part of the european arms control architecture by withdrawing the United States would significantly reduce the scope of the open skies treaty and weaken the whole regime the Us Governments decision will take effect after 6 months during this time we will work intensively with there are like minded partners to make the Us Government withing their decision. Now stateside somehow voiced support for the decision saying comerica doesnt need the open skies treaty can collect the same imagery at a low cost from satellites rather than x. But far from everyone agrees on that point this administration moves forward with a precipitous you know lateral withdrawal from the treaty the United States will be less safe and secure open skies remains our only ability to get direct access to russian airfields and airspace and every experienced operational commander knows all too well that satellite simply cant do it all. So there is a lot of criticism from all sides swirling around this announcement understandably that one of rumors even back in october that this was on the cards but people hope that they were just that rumors and that suddenly during a Worldwide Health crisis such a dramatic decision which can be taken now there are still certain administrative barriers to this taking place including some pushback from congress will obviously be following up on that its not a done rather undone deal quite yet but i do way this latest move from washington really marking a new uncertain chapter in arms control in Global Security and of course in u. S. Russian Relations Party saskatoon are breaking down the details there for us. So lets delve a little bit further into this because im happy to say mark alman director of the Crisis Research institute joins us on the program always good to see you mark big picture 1st here what does this move by the u. S. Mean for Global Security. I think we should think about it in global terms because the americans are not just thinking about relations with russia that rotorua russia but also about countries like china and what president trumps core team and the kind of world view that comes from tends to say is that the United States is much better off not been constrained by control agreements that they in some sense all bad for the u. S. And help its rivals the irony of all this was is that the whole series of arms control agreements that have been ripped up over the last few years and the ones that were made by republican president s by people who are actually soft on National Security which nixon through to Bush AdministrationGeorge Mitchell bush so its its really around the dramatic shift in the outlook and going back to fairly phrase of the cold war back in the late fortys early fiftys when the what talk about her new disappear or to be able to outfight the other side and then on the whole on all sides with your weapons the idea was that actually the use of Nuclear Weapons was suicidal that you had the primary as a deterrent and particularly now as new forms of rhetoric coming into existence. Missiles and also more attractive cruise missiles the idea that you would create a black hole where you dont react while the other side is doing actually makes the world less safe because you dont have a situation where you feel that youre about to be the victim of a surprise attack you misread the signals and therefore decide to go to ensure a childish an interest in mark this is not of course the 1st hard one agreement they come to ministration has cast aside the Iran Nuclear Deal springs to mind is there a solid strategy behind such an if what whats the endgame to all this. One of the things that one of the pins it is the assumption that because the United States won the 1st total with the soviet union firmly because it was sort of economically strong. That it could also out build in terms of what you know theres an assumption that if you know how a new phrase a cold war not just with russia but also if you were trying or trying to see if the elephant in the room from the one to washington that american strength who enable it to force the other side a tree in a city cant compete militarily and im not quite sure that thats whats going to happen so although the americans have some grounds for saying that the existing arms control agreements with slepian withdrawing from dont take out of china and therefore increasing the obsolete in a world with 3. They are the same trying to actually i suspect making situation much less stable and their own interests of their own primary point mark is that washington insists is quitting due to repeated russian violations of the accord how fair is that claim and in contrast what what whats americas record been. Look the point is that individual flights may stray from the agreed course or technical things like that happen but the basic point about this agreement is that it is precisely because the skies are open that you can also detect aspire to the tea on the other side because its no longer spying in the legal sense and so the fact that the americans have been able to fly openly. Or to they also tonight russia has been a great help to them because as we heard satellites can see all sorts of things but in bad weather actually if you want to are mobile. Fresh as you see it and there are a plane is much more able to be flexible so i think in a way on a technical point the United States may even be losing more than its going to gain from this but i think we have to remember the stronger of america 1st american sovereignty not to feel that you are one among equals but you are very much the 1st and exceptional stage and i think this is sort of powerful strain in america if i wanted so but it is potentially in this sort of situation with Nuclear Weapons and more sophisticated missile and more. Rapid hypersonic missiles he still its begins to create a situation just very insecure or civil americans and their allies as well as for the people the burn competition mark thanks so much for your time this morning always good to get your take mark alman director of the Crisis Research institute speaking live in the program thank you. All right moving on to another of our big stories today washingtons accuse china of seeking a geo political and economic confrontation with the u. S. In a scathing policy paper but also a single a side beijing for its or thora tarion moves that saves the document puts another dent in an already bad relations with something and threatens the start of a new type of cold war picking up a story kill up and. The anti china hysteria is growing latest move is the u. S. Senate approving legislation that would ban Chinese Companies from being listed on u. S. Stock exchanges and raising money from american investors i would not turn my back. On the Chinese Communist party. If they were todays day had they cheat and ive got a bill to stop them from cheating u. S. Leaders blame china for the coronavirus terms latest tweets go as far as accusing china of mass killings around the world this while china has just ledged 2000000000. 00 to the global efforts against the pandemic open to increase International Cooperation china will provide 2000000000. 00 u. S. Dollars over 2 years to help with the covert 19 response and with economic and social development in affected countries especially developing countries one u. S. Leaders slammed the move saying it was not enough chinas contributions to fight in the pen demick are patri compared to the costs that they have imposed on the world this plague has cost roughly 90000. 00 american lives more than 36000000. 00 americans have lost their jobs since march globally 300000 lives could be as much as 9 trillion dollars according to our estimates cost imposition on the world by the Chinese Communist party failures as rhetoric gets cranked up phrases like cold war being thrown around a look we are really on a cold war footing and when it comes to dealing with china and other things we can use in Foreign Policy sanctions and other things diplomatic economic i think were entering a new cold war in many ways beyond us in call that call it what it is and that this is the start of a new cold war i dont want to have a cold war with china. I would rather see us. Work together. For the common good. Of the planet earth. And we travel that have morphed out real well for us media seems to be following the same script speculations about how far this will go keep popping up some say this will be disastrous for the Global Economy others are placing bets on winners and losers chinese leaders in turn are saying that they want peace dialogue even to millions of quid usually both sides benefit from cool and stand to lose in confrontation decoupling and deal includes not civilians with the us to discuss the endangered cold war mentality and 0 something can do beijings calls are falling on deaf ears poll shows that one in 3 americans now use china as an enemy instead of a Global Community unite to defeat the pandemic were now seeing blame and polarization rising very quickly the stereotype in a certain sense where china is this evil genius that is capable of creating this this pathogen that invades and destroys america and trump even characterizes a as an attack that eclipses pearl harbor. But at the same time you know this is contrast to a narrative that china is unable to china didnt do a good job managing it get this you know combination of evil genius and completely inept illegitimate government is really just operated opportunistically trying to exploit any kind of negative narrative that can be imagined and promoted as a Conspiracy Theory by lee you know to distract others from failures in these cases thats his Central Operating principle is to blame others although i dont think we can really have a cold war like before i think people are imagining it and pushing us toward Something Like it. So its deeply worrisome. There is a storm a political one brewing in the English Channel u. K. Brigs a Party Leader Nigel for has accused the french navy of scoring Illegal Migrants into british waters it comes after a sharp spike in numbers trying to cross the sea amid the cold with 99 brick charred dubin ski has more. To battle of for the control of the English Channel or if you prefer a lot more shes been raging between britain and france just centuries for things that really just go out the torta the leader of one British Political Party has accused fronts of persisting with an invasion of Illegal Migrants what we know. Is that approach noble has always been stated its called save. Out of red borders to get it in the british borders. That accusation comes at a time when illegal crossings all on the rois more than 1500. 00 have already been detected attempting to reach a shores in the 1st 5 months of the c. F. A. Thats getting close to the number of the entire its really trying to back in 2019 years almost haul off of the arrivals since the start of the u. K. s lock down at the end of march as fewer trucks were crossing in between the 2 countries migrants of now turning to the sea many of those trying to cross our parent the unaccompanied you its what we used to see was that those young people would come through lorries that was the typical route now what weve seen is these unaccompanied young people or in the drug nigel farrar she says the situation is outrageous to the big branch and i will be until now has gone done the job they brought a school to that little being here on the left there british borders but now left. Our own rib of the big vessel just to make sure theyre safe until the handover to the border falls however there is plenty of evidence to show that french patrol boats are in fact stopping migrant vessels from leaving french waters last week 17 migrants were rescued at sea and brought back to the port of cali by a patrol boat thats already had quite a busy year there are also ongoing discussions between the u. K. And french government sister how to deal with this issue the brits want to bring in new legislation which would mean that any Illegal Migrants that apprehended on the sea or even on the land will be deported back to france meanwhile the u. K. s home secretary pretty much how has admitted that the french dont have the easiest of jobs at the moment were using drones for using helicopters to use night vision goggles you name it to a usenet the issue that we have is that the model of the species that is being patrolled is most in france and these individuals
