has said moscow received official confirmation that the u.s. will withdraw from the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty washington had already threatened to pull out of the cold war era arms agreement back in october earlier vladimir putin castigated the u.s. for threatening to leave the pact saying it could unbalance world security the comments from the russian leader came during a speech to the country's defense officials. so you were in this was the way it is you when you're so short of. the u.s. leave the i.n.f. nuclear missile treaty could have serious negative consequences some weakening regional and global safety it could collapse the hauraki section of arms control on the nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction. putin has focused a lot on this deal and his position has remained unchanged the united states pulling out of it unilaterally will do a lot of harm and no good really in fact i should say this correlates with what many other nations have been saying as well because see back in the day when this deal was. signed betw

it is monday morning in moscow. up to eight am here news team hard at work rounding up this hour's top stories welcome to. the hunt for russian medal 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 vest movement in france and one of my messengers the correspondent said her editors were quote out for blood. well maybe some russian businesses capitalizing greatly on the protests maybe the protesters eating cutlass mass maybe the far right to ring leaders that i'm looking for angles yes the editors to months and blood over the last five weeks we've seen france engulfed by violence as people come out on to the streets to say they simply can't afford to live on the french president's money when michael. 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 all of the problems here

within a culture that live in central moscow thank you. a court in the netherlands has rejected a sixty nine year old man's request to legally. doing so would set a dangerous precedent. the main reason is that h. requirements in the law gives rights and duties to people for instance to rights to throat or the duty to attend school and if those requirements wouldn't count if you could change your date of birth. that would become meaningless a meal and the man who wants to change years age describes himself as a young god he's father of seven and even promised to give up his pension if indeed the dutch court would approve his request he also things that being legally younger will help him get more work and more matches on dating websites so we spoke to him ourselves. two years goal my doctor told me your biological age is around forty forty two years young i said but how is that possible so he actually could be because of the blocks and about the nurse and about. the brain we as human beings we have to change and so the state and the governm

well i think it certainly makes sense for for moscow to think. in its context with the united states i just fear that the dominant view in this city is that it is merely impossible until the united states kind of settle these domestic divide about the environment and in d.c. he's you know i hate to see these laws work toxic but that's exactly what it is and then i think it's in a way you know you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't. we're. really. stories this hour here on artsy the co-founder of networking site linked in apologizes for funding a discredited democratic party operation which created russia. china china while way is the focus of spy allegations once again this time in the u.k. . the u.s. government shutdown continues over funding tromso immigrant pulled a wall project and the media pounding the flames of discontent even using out dated video they just royal water supplies that are left in the desert everyone in the trunk administration has done everything they possibly can.

ok to another story we're following today moscow has expressed its regrets over the u.s. dropping efforts to cooperate on cyber security saying the deputy head of russia's center for cyber security and cooperation says it's vital the two countries continue to work to get there i spoke to igor sit down offer earlier on this. the deputy director for russia's center of cyber security and corporation the of has said that more school is ready to reveal all correspondence between russia and the united states that took place before the inauguration of then president elect donald trump most call facing the allegations of meddling in that vote did pass on all the technical information and data to washington to assure that well whatever happened they had nothing to do with it so this is the sort of the documentation that moscow is ready to make public of course is washington agrees to it you cologne rush of also did express his regrets that while all the political mechanisms for the russia you worse corporation in the realm of cyberspace are there washington simply does not want to

in a moscow hotel this wasn't just something that randomly came from donald trump the president pretty much repeated a crucial statement by the author of the dossier himself revealed in a court hearing chris steele said the following was supposed to happen as a result of the dossiers publication based on the voice party switchers the democratic national committee and she could consider steps they would be legally entitled to take to challenge the validity of the outcome of that election so if she didn't pay for it it was done through one of the clinton affiliated organizations only with a specific purpose to find some kind of legal ground to challenge the results of the twenty sixth vote. a positive agreement on the fate of syria's been thrashed out in switzerland geneva meeting was hosted by the un special syria envoy stephan to mr a top diplomats from russia iran and turkey agree to launch a committee by january for draft a new constitution that. of a very useful meeting was the secretary general special envoy agreed to for its convening the first session of the constitutional commut

the russian foreign ministry in central moscow. now the northern part of syria's been a battleground on several occasions since the war started back in twenty eleven and this meant that the kurdish population there haven't seen peace for a long time ago shit out of takes a closer look at their role in all of this. they call themselves freedom fighters turkey calls them terrorists the us use them as their proxy army well after this used to there will be a strong deliberate and orderly withdrawal of u.s. forces from syria very deliberate very orderly turkey has already begun massing its forces on the front line and the kurds know all too world the consequences of that they've been there with afrin back in january the turks launched operation all of branch against the minorities northern most territories there were reports the syrian army could have intervened but in the end the kurds put on a brave face and decided to go it alone and their friend fell and quickly for the turkish army the operation was hardly more challenging than a d

moscow has expressed its regrets over the u.s. dropping efforts to cooperate on cyber security the deputy head of russia's center for cyber security and coordination sees it's vital the two countries continue to work together for more on this let's go live now to our t's eve or to step down off who's been following the developments igor i would imagine the ramifications of what non-communication it seems like on such issues don't lead to any word good what was said today. well indeed we have just listened to a briefing by any of the deputy director of russia's center for cyber security and corporation where he revealed among other things the fact that well moscow and washington d.c. had been in while in very extensive communication right before the inauguration of then president elect donald trump and what moscow did essentially facing them the allegations of meddling in the twenty sixteen united states presidential elections they did pass all the technical data the how doubts particular center had to show that the. well i had not

well i think it certainly makes sense for for moscow to think. in its contacts with the united states i just feel. that it is nearly impossible until the united states kind of settle the domestic divide environment and. you know i hate to see this. as work toxic but that's exactly what it is and i think it's and we. welcome back to the program the u.s. defense secretary spent his christmas working at the pentagon even after donald trump's abrupt decision to remove him from office two months earlier than he'd planned to resign james mattis road this holiday letter to american soldiers. in this world awash in change you hold the line storm clouds lose because of you your fellow citizens live at home. james mattis resigned last week after the u.s. president allows his decision to withdraw troops from syria he also advised on trying to keep troops in afghanistan opposing the idea of using private contractors in war though now it seems that's precisely what could happen next. explains. imagine you're sitting there on your porch reading about guns and

it and sell my african friends are in moscow which it's their turn to try the russian way of life on for size of disney because they have no winter clothing we've had to buy them jackets hats and gloves. this is pulling down all the time on why i'm a little knowing my goodness you. have failed to get some in the last from zero all the way until. it's completely to defend a lot of things and even a madman most people would be. a lot like me as you really. think that's. just like. her self up for. money. for. no this is the biggest where and the very proud of our red bull that they're likely to elope with me into a hole in the ocean that's what i mean did you just love cars because as they come in from oz a seat in zero is. usually it's a very special area is a type of trash a everybody focused on those russia was it going to moscow and going to see red square because it was most the most bibles place in russia and most folks saw including. her. us kill s. s. s. s. s. . the if you put it most people in the streets but only in it to the mitchell who poses well the russian sub who is als

here in moscow. the live with me. for joining us this hour. new missile delivery system called god will enter russian service next year artie's the first channel to show unique footage from the defense ministries first public test run of fence ministries first public test of the weapon which is capable of firing nuclear missiles. it's picking off to the launch of russia's ivan guard ludmer putin who oversaw a live personally from defense ministries control and command center here in moscow to explain the importance of wednesday a vent saying it was great success as it was excellent new year's eve to the entire nation adding a tooling sure russia's security for generations to come. the system is invulnerable to any current or prospective missile defense system of a potential enemy this is a big victory for a country. russia claims it is a unique equipment and it is better than anything that any country in the world at face moment has let's take a look at some of the best features of a gun guard. as russia's president puts it it's all about prot

it's the blame game at its best i mean who is the worst villain on earth moscow again you know it makes me think of nazi germany before the war the jews were responsible of everything while today the populists are the jews of nazi germany it's incredible i mean imagine for instance that moscow would be behind the fact that eighty seven percent of the french population supports the yellow vests that three hundred thousand people were occupying roundabouts everywhere in france because of moscow i mean this is ludicrous but something else must you michael geraint be camping at the beginning of the campaign for the presidency you know it was at bill c. at the ministry of finance in a socialist government and to fume at that time got problems that were coming from where from bill c. so isn't he the specialist the fake news of orienting bates of making sure that you lost the debate within that i probably can't so the worst example is now the fact that blaming moscow is ridiculous what we get we should point out i did hear look at as you well the thing about russia denies involvement in french
