of government workers to begin piping water from the flint river into people's homes it was cheaper than the old water source but due to insufficient water treatment at least lead into the drinking water prosecutors argue that certain officials should have known better if this is a poor man and he's talking about humanity in the water but we're not doing anything about ray hall says his one year old nephew died from the poison water that his mother unknowingly put into the baby's bottle and it was. other children show developmental delays linked to lead poisoning on friday a new team of prosecutors. called a community meeting to explain why they dismissed charges against 8 government officials citing the shoddy investigation conducted by the previous administration needs to be done properly we know that there are many deaths out there that have yet to be investigated. and it is that it is our obligation

when we accepted this position. to represent the people is the ability. to investigate those. families the incoming prosecutors say they'll likely file new charges possibly more serious ones than those dismissed but time is running out only 9 months remain before the statute of limitation kicks in they could wrap it up in 3 years and you know let up and then like. all of ours the government is asking the community to trust them that justice delayed isn't justice denied but for the people who've suffered and waited this is yet another drop of poison they're asked to swallow heidi joe castro al-jazeera flint michigan heavy rain and flooding when tired villages and bridges in eastern russia at least 2 people have been killed in the siberian region of cook's state emergency has been

a different technological future. one where people are not the product. the the. i thought. he. had had and we have a work on it that is god. see thing through.

and then i think it was quite on the list. i think on this police had a lie in one. game they called me and i think what i. look up i saw this. and i said innocent did collectively mean you know the butler yes. and i did at the. same time a commendable little longer with. commented on i don't medical hearing i said the medical. paying out i thought. that i would mourn him. catch a commission is the best. news i've given

the kind of police. and the case had last week on the bensalem of them by people he called president obama's inexperience through. our stomachs and. we are going to the press conference in which we are. going to announce. the biggest step in the monkey decades here. like this but. we're still going to be when. a you're not i was a price on a bill that i said i proposed. a plaintiff it either as a bottle scene or get them in

a ship when i thought. that. what. is with what and they're in there to make anyone look at cumbia eskin dumb as if he she enters the explosive i mean the thing when they see it the better i laugh because i want to sponsor a consequence i less the last one die or we have no or lost immunity where the other person ask is that you are there or that get aopa some of that inaudible 1000000 the but to get there most or not and they know that at the last 2nd yes personas get ahead of. the list but if you have an important and they don't got past this they have is that the mascot the neon issue this sale and the event they love at the hip but it's a little bit of us in the get and get out the s. and there's of course us are something else so here. for the.

so we have here a city with a lot of citizens thinking how to manage a city. delusional way would be to somebody. else instead of them that would lead a professional politician to exploit. this guy would have an idea on how to manage this in the knowledge to try something different let's think there's some place where all these people commit and think among themselves for example a website. now these people are not isolated and they come along and subs things saying to the. what do we decide. now is not just somebody having one of the we have thousands and thousands of ideas people can select the best thing and now the politician should just do one of the citizens wants to.

be in the platform we have for wonderful developers. and yet he had build a platform one month something they didn't sleep with us. open source code to use for free for one to look and people are actually helping us. and people that we don't know we don't know pretty much any of these people who just show up oh no we're just sending us code if you enter their website. very slowly you can make a proposal and was the boss of the sap in their website anybody can support it 2 percent of people needs to support a proposal before it gets to public voting which is 50 years 3000 people right now and they're the most supported proposals the 1st one is 100 percent

sustainable city the 2nd one is. unique. take it for all the public transport the 3rd one is to. eliminate bullfighting. so if. it's going. good ok. yeah the the 1st thing when we open the 1st for the 1st time yeah and it was very funny what he would do is really proposing is unable to really funny that. we now know they're going to tell you because he was no one to make them famous oh you don't want to know. things i can show you funny show you i can show you if you want to. come with me. rename it to eat with any other flame monument to the flying spaghetti. is

and what our functional. want to. get out of facing what they want to lock up. and then we. go out of the way. when i. went to the front of the meeting. you know. i think that. the political situation here is fragile and we are minority government so it's not clear that they're going to lead us to do all the things that we want to do you know before you.

get there one day i'd be interested in a web. or some but often i'm symbol and then there i mean come near them in the leg or doing of it not. to me i mean what. they want to see is that our court of the or not. is it i am asking that i would look ill and i mean got nothing. to be done the will that it will if you are not. there but they will talk to someone else or something of the same being able. to see that we should be. giving something up. and you know you. have. good

to. be. a professional get them out as liberal or out i mean you know what i mean about the left and the. net and just out of the stomach if you know some of the on the net it's a song about this i think that mitt. with all these new things and recommending michael sam many ways of interacting with the government. and be different i always. you know i can let me know your show was looking to get it right this more corn corn of the program. it's funny because this is happening to everybody that some of the need to be is guys so people will see. everybody always when they hear the same the 1st time they're always thinking 1st and the problems but then when you sprain if you think

they're going to relax i'm damned to spend it's something. important and. we didn't want to be part of this institution and all we really didn't want i mean when when we were starting to like the least of people who were going we were like you know we don't want this kind of job because it's it's horrible that we look to the him and it's horrible is not the kind of deal you're going to be happy or you're going to end this kind of ram and of course now we have we're really happy because it's a wonderful opportunity and it's not something that you can really have. we all the things that route do want to change how you can change only seems. to. me me. me me me. me me me me me keep thinking to me.

you can if you love me you can really. be mean clearly to me. and give me the other one of the best from last night's one of the at c.n.n. and that's going to get dressed in black. and white about the need. yeah i feel ya know god be able to laugh blast at the amount of. 100 thank you when i am sad when so many still get most people. don't. get. lost and only customs know the. land they know he is in a stable system yes before

we were in the in the government we had like a lot of networks of activists so we we were making trending topics daily but now we are in the studio and we. sort of don't use that meit's the. year we let marketing techniques that we were used to before because we are the government and government shoot shoot into that governments and shoot. trust friendly and this is slower. it sucked. we got that in england but is there a gun is more repetitive and. little has a team of them which is either the most affable to the. other man anastos that's

the stuff for me there's a. the moon the. everyday i'm giving an interview to national t.v. of somewhere many countries that know the spanish and. they can make up but not for too long so when i cease to be the. good among the masses that in a smart phones and i spend about in that matter phones. that is simple then sell the party but because. it's. not going to be good you know get the most out of it's been vetted. let me tell you that. yes. and it's tough but i'm going to

be up to the law and of course you know. what i. want to let me get in but when you get there left i think that is something i guess. the same biggest. m.b.m. the feedback but i can. give you. a fish. official. from yesterday. this is what done this in medicine to me going to the wedding wishing you got a. good time you know and mice are fundamental to. the game of you know

me or if you're into the bush to look at but again the look at this is predicated on the kid made up of bush to look. better. given the marianas and get us to give us a tough time. in motors and be able who instead of this who gets them we have followed . me to a boat sail into whatever medical got a load of sheep in the next half and then look at us but over here they could teach you that doesn't mean it can be another game but it is there and there are a lot of the times in the. second i. cannot know her but she really comes to live. basically here we know there was how we had. get off.

the money. but a lot of when i was the asked why nobody else had those get up on our hands net present value to get a mind that nobody in putting up upper level but it started now that i think a few months or a few got to see them at the econometrics but i wish him to think that he would outlaw money that the logic that he got that was mocking us in that he had got beach ball in our youth i mean to put it in this show me did out of 1000000 years ago the lottery eventually. got a hint that this is the moment typical bank to give to this country can see it in much like we have with a few now whip guinness to play an excuse to sneer subtle the joke about what i finish and i would sit on. this pedestal of you know the kid is just be got put to city having plenty novelty in the think when there's me. in the humidity enormous granting level to a few in any state plan and is to be no other putting me in the middle of what that is my lineage. when i played

a few i don't know noise for all of us can do in the. choir no matter i'm doing pretty well. now with only my with not only those with you having me he's picking up only getting out of all this he needs more than a body i'm just very unlikely to get your menial i could be honest now cause i'm pretty well yet i'm political. a little bit. now as you look at stuff as you know is with us in the. military to stay focused on a proposed mosque a few minister buses but doesn't. like to stand in the middle days in the middle of it dana newman out there in that bed oh yes for most of us face if you know yes i'm from data as a 1000000 mean that anybody has put a lot of my will into it by now that i thought up a little time under our borders in accordance with the alchemy this plan and that was invented a business when the company that. got it that monoline betting that morning was fine it doesn't a few months. or years so most of us is ahead of what i am but ok ok so much for

the new good and it is natural to me that t.v. is to make money mostly but i believe it is tasteless you know this was yesterday and one a bit ok not only she and i wasn't i was called many other spectacular him as they call her early teens because if i got a famous case can or cannot do that i'm happy that i have put on se that case but i mustn't have a home that's. you know what it was one 4th but you know they might have a better one. but i think i thought i'd like them to get ahead of the number of parties. can you explain. what i see that's even that's good news and pull

a. little bit 1st low. then there or there are sort of to stay the same. and. winning to. winning just thinking out of the box. out of the box not into. a bad way.

i. got him. with this look it's good it's the good people it's good because of i can get all that i think i can. only that i think i. can't get it oh i am lucky that. way. you look. at the fish in.

the off. pieces of fish the boy was looking down on the scene and the only. thing anybody got nothing off there. are no. i remember them because. i didn't want to let you have to hunt them. if i did unit you can still go fishing it like this yes you know he is a 2nd window is he to know this from peta and he quits his business and into nothing i'll eat. a lady i can see that it will not protect game with the money different from police. custody this is your business with us. for the fish stories for some peace on the us is the movie that in.

fact is less authentic and while your moment i thought have a booking to be the last course when step by a table and say wow the cacique i already have yet it is very tiring because every . weekend we do that he's a bit different in. this and he's like a bomb but we are here to make different things otherwise we should not be here so you. know that we always feel like home no you could do these and we think about the news like you know 70. it's just the system. we just need to survive yeah we're doing good buy.

they watch us. they gather evidence but so can we. and american cyber activists develops and tap used in brazil to monitor the police . we have more cameras than they do because we're the people a bigger brother. rebel beaks. on and just see it. when the news breaks these protesters and the still even that's.

10000 precious pieces of literature rescued from being bound to ashes in a besieged sari a palace. meets the bosnian women and men who risked everything to save their it's inherited. the love of books on al-jazeera. al-jazeera. hello and welcome to this al-jazeera news live from doha. denis coming up in the next 60 minutes we're going to work with china on where we left off.

an escalation in the u.s. china trade war is a virtue it is donald trump and paying agreed to resume negotiations following the talks at the g. 20 summit. through all the polls and there are protests in south korea where the u.s. president is hoping to meet kim jong il now at the demilitarized. hero or villain the captain of a rescue ship is a respite in italy for defying orders by bringing dozens of migrants ashore. and sport major league baseball's global pitch for new fans is about to hit europe for the 1st time what have more from london where to adam eric is most famous franchises are about to play each other.

that we can all breathe easy because fears of a trade war between china and the u.s. getting even worse have been eased for now at least after a summit of the world's biggest economies on the sidelines of the g. 20 in osaka u.s. president trump agreed to resume talks with china and said he wouldn't be imposing further tariffs on chinese imports the leaders of the world's most industrialized nations did agree on a climate control deal similar. the one that was struck last year in argentina that the u.s. was the only nation refusing to commit to that climate change mechanism and president trump said he did raise the murder of the journalist jamal khashoggi with saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman but he later refused to blame him for being behind it white house correspondent kimberly halkett begins our coverage. with fears of further escalation in the trade war between the united states and china chinese president xi jinping issued words of warning to u.s. president donald trump. should only china and the united states

benefit from. a confrontation. of the united states donald j. troll those words may have resonated following that meeting on the 2nd day of the g. 20 summit trump announced a breakthrough no new u.s. tariffs on chinese goods and a restart of stalled trade talks we're going to work with china on where we left off to see if we can make a deal but the 25 percent tariff already on 250000000000 in chinese goods into the united states remains in place the threat of tariffs on an additional $300000000000.00 more in chinese products a potential risk to the global economy have been delayed for now still unresolved the issue of huawei the chinese telecoms manufacturer the u.s. is banned from its markets and accused of facilitating espionage and intellectual

property theft we mentioned way i said we'll have to save that till the very end we'll have to see. tensions have also been escalating between the u.s. and turkey over its purchase of the russian s 400 air defense system the u.s. warned the buy in from the russians would threaten turkey's role in the f. 35 fighter jet program and could trigger u.s. sanctions on saturday truck blamed his predecessor president barack obama and defended the purchase by turkey's president he wanted to buy the patriot missile president obama's group said no he kept wanting to but they kept saying no no no couldn't buy it we needed it for defense he knew so he then went to russia it was these types of bilateral controversies that captured headlines during the 2. today meeting of leaders for the world's 20 major economies so much so the leaders final declaration stop short of what many had hoped it was going to tell me to do in this

summit we were able to agree on fundamental principles backing a free trade system which is to ensure free fair nondiscriminatory trade and open markets as well as conditions of fair competition but the g 20 declaration failed to denounce protectionism and its impact on global economic growth perhaps because this was a meeting dominated by bilateral issues making resolution of global matters a struggle kimberley health at al-jazeera osaka all right we can do it bret bruno who's in washington he served as the director of global engagement in the white house under president barack obama thank you very much for joining us and picking up on kimberly's last point and that is that this was a summit all about the bilateral than that would have suited president trump because he doesn't really do multi-lateralism does he like to go one on one meetings how do you think it went for him well i think it's a mix performance on the one hand we didn't have the disasters the drama of past g.

20 past the 7 summits but at the same time there was actually very little that he has to show for his performance i mean it's good news that we didn't further exacerbate the trade war with china but at the same time there's not much that he actually has been able to extract from xi jinping so i think at this point we avoided the worst but we certainly didn't accomplish anything it was interesting that he was asked a question as to why he gets on particularly well with the moral thora tarion types of leaders putin and then with. kim jong un was mentioned in the he seemed to dodge dodge the question but it was a very interesting point to raise at his press conference was in that. it is and i think certainly trump has tendencies that prefer those strong leaders who in many cases do exert or thera tarion either tendencies are or are

themselves tarion leaders and he seems to embrace that style of leadership which is an anathema to the kind of leaders we expect here in the united states so certainly there is this divide between the aspiration trump has for the role of the presidency and the aspiration the american people have right so what do you think then of the comments made by. really stole the headlines when he gave the in t.v. to the financial times when he talked about liberalism in the values of liberalism being obsolete well i'm really concerned by how the financial times and other media provide putin this very powerful platform megaphone really to try and undermine the western order i mean this quite frankly was a russian information operation and it was delivered to you by the financial times

i think you know you know how marx sorry to interrupt but i think you think it's a role of a respectable international publication to to publish the views of all thoughts of leaders whether it whether their views agree with the also not well yes and no but i think it's important to also put them in balance to analyze what are some of the objectives and what putin is trying to do with this interview is to undermine international institutions undermined confidence in the west and i think he achieved a good deal with that interview and so you obviously don't agree with him that institutions like the g. 20 itself perhaps not fit for today's world where there is a rise in the national is and and puppet isn't. i think what we're seeing are efforts both by putin but by trump himself to undermine these kind of fora and to

search for the kinds of events the kinds of engagements that will provide them with more power them with more influence because what we see at a g. 20 summit is the diminishment as i wrote in the business insider of the role of individual presidents and it becomes much more about what collectively they can achieve and that's not something that suits putin or president trump right and finally it seems to be an invitation to meet by tweet president skiing for kim jong un to meet in a meeting at the d.m.z. for a handshake and a hello is kind of unconventional hey you know i call this teller a swift esque diplomacy call me maybe i'm going to be in the area but it really unfortunately is emblematic of the kind of impulsive diplomacy that trump his practice and that doesn't necessarily lead to progress what we see are

a lot of fits and starts and unfortunately peace seems rather elusive all right thank you very much indeed brett brew and talking to us live from washington thank you. well another of the talking points at the g. 20 was the meeting between president trump and the saudi crown prince and it appears they are as close as ever. reports very much for being here thank you for another meeting between friends as u.s. president donald trump sat down with saudi crown prince muhammad ali son man for breakfast and osaka on saturday the true leader is demonstrating just how form they are of each other than with you mr president we did a lot of great achievement in the political sides who decide. military side and economical side specially if we never of them before we saw i believe that will contribute in a lot both country good for g.d.p. growth job creation more safety for both countries trump who has consistently been asked by u.s. politicians to sanction saudis implicated in the murder of journalist she tried to

focus attention on other issues instead crown prince of saudi arabia a friend of mine a man who has really done things in the last 5 years in terms of opening up saudi arabia and i think especially what you've done for women and seeing what's happening it's like a revolution in a very positive way journalists however insisted on raising the issue of their murdered colleagues each time they did know trump ignored them and thank you all very much appreciate it very much. thank you very much at the start of the g. 20 summit the crown prince made a point of demonstrating that he still had a place at the center of the international community the u.s. president's fared no effort to show how much he supported the saudi era parents widely believed to have been behind whistle trees killing a recent u.n. report slate blamed for the murder with the saudi states and called for an

investigation of involvement at the highest level. despite both u.s. and saudi attempts to ignore last october's murder in istanbul turkey is president roger tabor to one raise the case at a media conference during the summit insisting that the international community has a duty to bring those responsible to accounts we she made. they don't need to look elsewhere for the perpetrator in fact there are the lies that the former foreign minister said and the lies they made in b.s.a. it's so clear what else should i say they need to reveal this the documents are there the recordings are there 1st and foremost a human was killed asked again later in the day and president trumped this time trolls not to ignore the question.
