in a world where optics can reveal much more than intended we present to you the g 20 family photo and we ask what is wrong with this picture the u.s. president all smiles in shaking hands with the solti crown prince the prince that most of the leaders seen here agree is probably responsible for murder and don't forget russian president vladimir putin he is considered a lection enemy number one in the u.s. but at the g 20 summit that is the stuff of presidential humor tonight who's laughing i'm bring gotham berlin this is the day. the jews were solutions they could get a sick person a full sick woman and i'm glad to have her as a friend and thank you very much and. all i think we can say that brazil in the

1:04 am
to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all the around the world welcome we begin the day with the russian humor of u.s. president donald trump today world leaders convened in osaka japan at the g. 20 summit trade wars climate change migration crises it is a long list of geo political problems to solve but it was the u.s. president's joke to russian president putin that defined the summit's 1st day take a listen. and i am. sure. well that drew a smile from one of your boot and it drew fire back home in the u.s. today former u.s. president jimmy carter questioned the legitimacy of donald trump's presidency he offered no evidence but he said if fully investigated he believes the evidence would show that donald trump did not win the election in 2016 a former u.s.
1:05 am
president attacking a sitting u.s. president at the same time it was the russian president who came to the defense of donald trump today take a listen. well. people can criticize us president trump as much as they want if he's we said to build a wall between mexico and the united states. maybe that successive i don't know i'm not going to argue but he has to do something with the flow of migrants and drugs doesn t. no one's doing anything and you know it will be migrants can kill rugby and right and nothing will happen to them because their rights have to be protected and what rights you know. what rights as full and brussels correspondent barbara vessel she's on the story for us tonight good evening to you barbara it is
1:06 am
striking that we have tonight the u.s. president and the russian president basically speaking from the same playbook what does this look like from your perspective. from here a pin perspective friend this is a spectacle that sort of really raises the suspicion that here too so have found each other who might be actually spiritual or whatever you want intellectual or mental brothers and the problem is that of course making a joke of meddling with elections as the american president did in this little scene that we saw is not something that european governments find funny at all because every european action be it in the member state of be it the elections to the european parliament beforehand there were special sort of measures taken in order to guard against disruption from russia and to guard against things on the
1:07 am
internet and interference and all sorts of on all sorts of levels and so in the end from a european standpoint looking at these 2 people 2 of the most powerful people in the world playing this sort of buddy buddy game with each other is really disconcerting and it might show 2 great disruptors playing a game together modeless i mean it may show that and today as we were saying earlier in the program former u.s. president jimmy carter says that he doesn't have the evidence but he says that the investigation were to be conducted into russian meddling in the 2016 election and he says it would show that donald trump was not voted was not elected president that's quite a statement to make and it's quite a statement coming from the world's biggest and most well most important democracy
1:08 am
does europe pair of emergency plan if the u.s. democratic system begins to show serious. and fractures. no it doesn't there has been all that there are ample warnings and if you read the big european newspapers if you look at some of the european political thinkers and former heads of state and government writing their own there are warnings everywhere saying this is going in a very bad direction and it is a wrong direction and if you took just look at the way that vladimir putin taunted the europe's just a day before the osaka summit he gave an interview to the financial times of a british. economics a newspaper and he said he sort of wrote in that interview that the liberal western model off democracy was at an end it wasn't serviceable and mark and so we
1:09 am
should sort of just turn away and sort of obviously go the way that russia goes or maybe go the way that he thinks the united states might get and the president of the rupee in council who is an osaka he really sort of. fought back and he said what really is obsolete is also read tarion ism and the rule of the rule of all of ours and europe still sticks to its model a majority of citizens backed you know and we all know that they are strains in the system even in europe you have seen that in recent elections yes we've seen that you know we've seen that of course with the german chancellor she has been called the last great leader of the liberal democratic world order and this week for the 2nd time she was seen in public shaking and she is a beacon of stability and when people see her shaking they worry is she not well
1:10 am
she not help the right in saying that when miracle shapes the world begins to shake in fear. my only slightly exaggerated friend however i mean. in all psych i have seen her i have seen her being a very very her sturdy little self and she is a very strong physically and mentally and so this might really be nothing that might be a certain overinterpretation by however large parts of the european press and i'm going to america and her spokespeople emphasize that she is healthy that she can go the whole way that she can do what needs to be done and hold the talks to the very end and also and so the fears might be exaggerated by the sense to the teeth that very issue shows how much fear actually there is in many people's souls you know
1:11 am
exactly right people real ones you know that she believes that the way to 2021 or burial. in brussels barbara thank you very much have a good weekend. you know america does not want to win the food fight they want to know how we're going to put food on their table. the and. the american people understand that is a phony the trouble is they caught the logical lie of donald trump has put us in a horrible situation we do have an enormous income inequality and the one thing i agree on is we could make massive cuts in the $1.00 trillion dollars in tax loopholes out there and i would be going about eliminating donald trump's tax cuts for the wealthy we should call out the posse when we see it and for a party that associates itself with christianity to say that it is ok to suggest
1:12 am
that god would smile on the division of families at the hands of federal agents that god would condone putting children in cages has lost all claim to ever use religious language of vice president. that's how we be we have close a little troy that is. a was 10 of the 20 democratic party candidates who would like to be the next u.s. president they faced off in a national debate on n.b.c. television it was the 2nd debate night and it was without doubt the most dramatic immigration and health care were the 2 major issues but the debate took an unexpected turn when 2 candidates clashed over how u.s. public schools were desegregated some 50 years ago i do not believe you are racists and i agree with you when you commit yourself to the importance of finding common
1:13 am
ground but i also believe and it is personal and i was actually very it was hurtful . to hear you talk about the reputations of 2 united states senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country and it was not only that but you also worked with them to oppose bussing and you know there was a little girl in california who was part of the 2nd class to integrate her public schools and she was bused to school every day and that little girl was me. so i will tell you that on this subject it cannot be an intellectual debate among democrats we have to take it seriously we have to axe wishfully. just characterize my position across the board i do not praise racist it is not true number one
1:14 am
number 2 if we want to have this campaign litigated to support civil rights whether i did or not i'm happy to do that i was a public defender i didn't become a prosecutor i came out i left a good law firm to become a public defender what is right what is right. when in fact my city was in flames because of the the assassination of dr king. now going into this debate many thought that it would come down to a clash between the 2 biggest names bernie sanders but as we just heard. had other ideas we have more now from our correspondents alexander fund. i found it quite interesting to see how the top the 2 top contenders were flexing their rhetorical muscles taking aim at each other at the beginning of the debate and then come along. the senator from california jumped in and she was so patient and she
1:15 am
was so determined and she made clear that she came to put dissipate in this debate to win it and i've been to some of her events to her companion kick off rally in oakland if you months ago so i was aware that she is a good performer but to many people i talked to at watch party we went to this night were very impressed by her by her personal story about growing up as a woman of color in the united states. the indian parliament is considering a law that will ban the practice a verbal divorce practiced by some indian muslims not the war was being called the triple talaq bill is the or do word for divorce muslim in the past by just 3 times i've been able to divorce their wives the supreme court has banned
1:16 am
this practice and now the government wants to be drawing the band into a wall and this has divided opinion. so you know romance comics studio heights the trauma of our marriage domestic violence pushed out into depression and to the brink of suicide even now 8 years since the abuse she says she's deaf on one but it was after her husband a well educated man. 3 times that sabina's life and legal uncertainties uncertainties that the government's built on triple the lot to do we my view was that the government is doing a commendable job by protecting the rights and interests of the women of the minority section of the society i think it's a commendable job and you know why not why didn't people think about doing it you know previously i think i'm all for the government i have my support.
1:17 am
but that support is lacking when it comes to some sections of muslim society in india the german. and he's a leading group of muslim scholars with considerable influence in the country they believe the government's intentions are less than noble. maybe they want to hold muslims accountable they want to tell people that look these muslims are so backwards. a situation is so bad that look we have had to make a law about things i've got so bad that the government has had to perform surgery. mr modi's the iron man has done all this what can we do. with our massive roundabout no he isn't alone in his mistrust of the government the opposition congress party has called a bill blass discrimination against muslims by the hindu nationalist government of prime minister narendra modi. others are more clear on what modi is doing the real purpose is to send a big political message to the hindu community especially the the poor and do mean
1:18 am
that the. muslim man has a certain image. sexual jealousy towards the muslim man because he's allowed to marry more than one time he can very easily get out of a bad. man does not have these privileges. can't come in fast enough as a muslim woman tradition and religion to restore dignity she knows which side of the debate she's on. and there it goes this was the moment the 20000 cubic meters of steel and concrete were demolished in italy a series of controlled explosions in the last 2 pillars of them are on the motorway bridge may remember that bridge collapsed without warning last august 43 people
1:19 am
were killed the bridge is a key piece of infrastructure for general authorities hope to have a new bridge in working order as soon as possible they say as early as next year. 50 years ago today in the early hours of june 28th 1069 new york police raided the stonewall inn bar today as then the club was a meeting place for the community in greenwich village but venting like people there decided to stand up and fight back and it was a turning point the stonewall uprising went down in history as the 1st time members of new york's gate lesbian and transgender community resisted arrest and started a riot in the name of equal rights in owner of this rebellion the community and its allies celebrate christopher street day around the world every year. these new york
1:20 am
streets are witness to history and where day pride began 50 years ago christopher street was the scene of riots known as the stonewall uprising which placed the l g b t movement on a global stage back then the stonewall inn was a haven for people who didn't identify with the heterosexual norms of the day here they could hang out drink dance simply be themselves but not without risks being gay could result in prison or heavy fines violence and harassment were common in the early hours of june 28th 1969 police raided this spot the stonewalling now it wasn't the 1st time but this time around it was breaking point lesbian gay and transgender people were herded out and onto this street the now iconic christopher street bottles and bricks were thrown on the rate stock to protest which lasted for days college a remembers them well she was 22 at the time and kept her gay identity secret
1:21 am
fearful of the consequences like reading lesbians of my generation i compartmentalize my life i had to hide my identity in college. and now i was hiding my identity at work because i could be fired for being a lesbian under the law homosexuality was illegal i already knew there really was nothing wrong with me but for me the question was how are we going to get society to change seeing thousands join her in protesting for gay rights emboldened her as a founding member of the game you can ration from she helped organize the 1st ever gay pride march is from there her role as an activist was assured using her new found voice to become an author an icon of the movement changing millions of lives we have made without the amazing progress we were going to fight for incremental
1:22 am
change and the hope that some. heterosexual society would allow us to work or allow us to go to school it seemed to me that we needed to force this change our message to the world you don't need a word group of people to create change you just need the will and the courage to do it. a message which is that inspired a younger generation to engage politically casey hankins he's concerned that there's still no nationwide new car tech ting l g b t people from discrimination we have like marriage equality and like that's probably not going to go anywhere but there's so much more rights to be had for queer people you know like i j i took a cross-country trip with my partner 2 years ago and we were discussing how like as we drove state to state our rights drastically changed our protections drastically changed and and that's to you know gay men not to mention trans people that are not
1:23 am
going to be validated for that i see so much more progress that has been made over time a sentiment echoed by others who come to the memorial park off is it the stonewalling right to me means acknowledge. during my history i'm a bisexual person a pansexual person and it acknowledges my history and what we've fought for to be recognized to be able to get married to the people we love to be able to be in public with the people we love and just to be able to be ourselves and come out like and there's still a lot of progress to be made there while the many tourists this gay rights memorial represents a moment in history of the engine the teaching from the stone rule named he's a reminder of the struggle that continues today. marks a goal was a teenager from philadelphia when he entered the store roll in on june 28th 1969
1:24 am
he'd only been living in new york for a couple of weeks the events of that set the course of life as a journalist and activist for l g b t rights he spoke with us earlier today. in those days in new york bars were usually raided one of those raids to place the police came in took the money and left what was different about this night what sparked that riot they came in they barged in when people against the wall they hurled insults at us they called us all the names that we've been called are all alike we're like they that once people have money and took their wallets out of their pockets and took that money and put it in their pockets we had never been treated so lonely in our lives when we got outside eventually more of us outside they were still inside we started hurling things to do work they could get out that like for the 1st time in history we entrap the police rather than the police and
1:25 am
dropping it was the 1st like that i felt that i scream and something a little legal again a day out loud 8 and i'm going to be in your face for ever 50 years now i've been doing that often to do as long as we have to because people in this country the united states still don't have their full rights and with the fight for that everybody with gays lesbians trans people who are being killed in the united states i don't know a lot of me would say we still that and class citizens gay pride is probably the best export the united states ever did for the worlds. that was mark siegel speaking with us earlier 50 years since stonewall that may seem like a long time ago but in 1969 when the stonewall riots took place the liberal global order the world as we know where the west well it was barely 25 years old and we journalist we are as guilty as anyone of forgetting the footing upon which we stand
1:26 am
today especially when there are horrific stories of inhumanity such as children dying this week at the us mexico border but what does it mean when world leaders begin pronouncing the world as we know it dead this is what russian president vladimir putin said today. but to see what i mean this modern liberalism in my opinion it's obsolete and our western pot is if it makes it that some of its points are just unrealistic but apply could multiculturalism and so on what he meant. obsolete where have we heard that before u.s. president used the same adjective to describe another post-war alliance nato what putin and trump have in common is believing that most of us don't have much in common our differences get in the way and yet we know what happens when leaders take us to places where everyone is supposed to be the same the liberal democratic
1:27 am
world order under attack like never before and yet it is where we still find reservoirs of hope and the best of our humanity this was our greatest achievement to have the generations after us not grew up the way we did when we walked. 670 another street says 1st. june day and we said join us we didn't know that the world would join us and be proud but so many people did this change the way the people grow up in this country. they did it well the day is almost done but the conversation continues online you'll find us on twitter either at u.w. news or you can follow me at brant golf t.v. don't forget to use the hash tag the day and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you on monday everybody have a good weekend.
