some lawyers on. breaking on that and finally we have to find a solution and i hope that we've. a common solution for europe which increases security will for blood supply for everybody and went up like the five european companies germany and france united kingdom austria invested ten billion euros in a project should in brussels protect their interest as well we we have a market already. approach in europe we want to have a single european and achieve market and we want to mobilize as much private money as possible for increasing and building the infrastructure. so that's one side and we have to balance it on the other side of course. the european commission is concerned as some of the states we were talking about that dependency on russia

or to other partners will increase and therefore we have to. balance this but basically i think it's good that we have a lot of european companies cooperating and westing in this approach it with private money. mr safir we're going to take a short break right now and when we're back we'll continue talking to walk in pfeiffer speaker of the christian democratic union party and chairman mr to talk more about the nordstrom to cap plan project and the opposition to trade from overseas.

for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all suck but there was one more question and by the way was going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure to come out you have to meet the center of the football with you and we'll show you all the great game the greatest game you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get the ball going let's go. a low as just i want to know and i'm really happy for joined out to for the thousand and three in the world cup in russia meet the special one i was also appreciated meets just like the radio the aussie teams the latest edition to make up a bigger certainly better jersey look.

with no make this manufacture come sentenced to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round to listen to the one percent so. we can all middle of the room see. the real need for. the knot winds up. on the flames off let down one of the definitions and i'm back. when seeking out a new south. take in the equal city . to give them to the new agenda in ukraine.

at least they can. be. just. a little just that you know. he's just them tokyo funded he's. going. to let. his work was because did it because it didn't seem quite a cultural preview of the grammys.

that were bad for the energy a speaker of the christian democratic union party and a german bundestag discussing gear ups and or just security and controversy around the nordstrom to pipeline project mr driver u.s. secretary of state's rex tillerson sees north stream to as a threat to european energy security and the pipeline will be able to provide a quarter of europe's annual gasoline wars and will reduce the price of russian gas by almost a hoss the u.s. have a proper understanding of the european energy market. from a strategic point of view i understand that there are fears also in us today say ok if europe gets more dependent two or russia that brings a strategic threat maybe if we think of the discussions we had last year just maybe if you look to a grand way are russia while a to the national law occupying the grave that isn't acceptable and we

have to talk about this and we will not accept but the talks must go on and i think we have to talk more to each other and to find also a solution for a lot of political economic technical cultural. issues and initiatives and so i think it is also good to. have more diversification on the energy sector and the us for example is now number one gas producer and supplier in the world and if they transport the elenchi you also to europe we have a not a possibility and so this brings competition and it breaks also security of supply so i don't see that we are. increasing the security

or decreasing the security of supply is the other way round and therefore i think we need to and should take all pipeline pro checked all at you bro checked all the storage boats it's we can get i agree with you and then there is joe mccarrick from the u.s. state department's bureau for energy resources and he dismissed the very idea of north trench you can bail out i mean i just wonder how can washington assess with this kind of confidence what can or. can't be built in europe. yeah they have to hell wouldn't interest fall to their strategic interests they are also in us heavenly in westing and she infrastructure and so it's natural they also want to have a share off the cake and russia wants to have a share of the cake and maybe in future times. iran and other states

from the far middle east will have some shows indicate. that the way the market and so i think that's that's ok but we should leave it to the market to market signals what is good for secure to supply what is good for competition for the prizes and what kind of productive we will have and we should not at this hide it in a political bad so for me it's so also not accepted will. russia nor then us deciding maybe on what chairman companies or european companies are investing in or which infrastructure we are building interim and we're in in europe i think that's a tremendous it's a european decision here right the united states has its own interests and is openly calling openly calling for european states reject norseman to about what

kind of leverage candidate search over here can states who can washington sway. they are talking to the national government stay out talking. to the most of parliament i also had some exchange with. american representatives and to members of the state department exchange if you will said i think i please try to explain why i see that more pipelines and more infrastructure brings more security off some supply and what the reason for all of this is none so at least we were more or less ninety percent we had to save it at the end of the cussedness abt but there is still a. gap and we have to talk and dispell but finally when we decide what infrastructure we build and what we cannot build so the

americans aren't going imposing sanctions against russia kompany is involved in the what's going to from the german side how is barely planning to work around those there are you not only did not she is a tendency to protect. and it is that bothers me and i think open markets free trade is key for growth and create a key for increasing. the welfare of the participating nations and so i personally zero pose any part protectionism hey dan it's the sector. in other sectors and so we have to rick keep on working hard that we keep the markets open. first think a multilateral approach is the w t o. the right approach if this is not for a team because we saw it last year is that it's very slowly and we may be if we.

quicker and faster with bilateral approaches then we should do that but open markets. are key for prosperous development so north stream two promises tens of billions and potential welfare increase for all the twenty eight states which means also those who are arguing against it are these potential profits big enough to silence the naysayers. nobody knows about will finally be the profit but if we have a shoulder. to shoulder route we have to put the potentially cheaper to bring the gas to central europe and then everybody can benefit. and so the we will that we will see what happened

so north stream one remember matt similar strong opposition and it's time the same concerns were raised and about the political influence gas dependence of the pipeline is working fine and europe is still independent last time i checked so why are the same arguments raised against more seem to i mean is there any think drastically different about this project. geo political. situation is different it was not st maarten took place before we had. the developments and so on and that's. a lot of people in europe especially in eastern europe and baltic states as well us and poland and ukraine and romania and so on. they all fear a kind of new cold war and war and achieve and so maybe that is all

these concerns. are also fed by the russian behavior in the last year but the if you. think but still turn and that is my hope i mean if i snored streams don't vote for both but right but that's my whole point the first pipeline first north stream didn't cause the cold war did it why would the second one but it's all about money it's all about. the profit now and always i didn't say that nordstrom to its is causing it to say but the russian behavior against craven. things changed in the last years there are also hostile activities on the baltic sea and in the air which we fought both that we have not anymore and they we remember i was my crew up at the cold war so i know what happened. and i think. russia should

change its behavior in this. sector i mean i feel like there are double standards here because of course i understand europe or germany are worried about the whole political situation but you're still buying the gas. because it's. a two way dependency you russia wants to sell the gas and if there is a pipeline it only can sell the guess why the pipeline and europe and germany need needs to guest so it's a win win situation for both. and they are our bilateral or they are problems political problems we have to talk about and therefore we also implemented sanctions on various sectors and so on hopefully figure that i'm not going to say and i'm to go to the to the to

the to the table talk and i think what the there are the russians didn't behave the right way in the last in the last years and so that that's now also the day a reflection in the public and on the political arena but all i'm saying is that europe or us all i'm saying is that we both agree that we're sort of interdependent when it comes to gas so why generate extra trouble light it doesn't really make any sense when political thing is a political thing but this is about gas and money and we both need each other here yeah that's that's true but we also not naive of course and she's also a always a political issue but then she just said there wasn't a political issue that it's a market issue i mean in a cheap. it's course that. it's both the pipeline project is. private initiated and privately

financed by the energy discussion where for example the fulfillment of the european single market on energy is of course a political issue a political issue and dependency and fears of security of supply also a political issue as they are not used to is a political is a political issue because without energy. economy is not able to if you remember what happened at the beginning of the seventy's it affect the whole lot of countries and the whole their old economy brought it. in a crisis and so it would be naive to say you know cheap is not the political issue . i am a survivor i really hope all sides can work out their differences on this and the pipeline actually. will start to function thanks a lot for this interview for talking to five for energy speaker off the christian

democratic union party in the german been discussing the north seem to pipeline project and what it means for the european energy market that's it for this edition of seven. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. somehow i want to. let you go right to be precious little like that before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the house. last question

and. this is. a church secret indeed just like priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this the do graphic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot where the previous standard was not known the highest ranks of the catholic church help conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that of that's known as the i intend then i conclude that it just is not in. this. case both.

dozens of civilians from the district and as the russian defense ministry leases the first images of its latest missile systems r.t. gets exclusive access behind the six. welcome she's gone six pm here in moscow you're watching r.t. international now amid the media frenzy over the poisoning of a former russian spy on the u.k. saw over the attack is today being discussed at the very highest level in britain and prime minister to reason may is under pressure from some in her cabinet to talk to adopt a tougher stance on the case so used to work as an agent for the russian intelligence but he was stripped of his rank and jailed for thirteen years for spying for the

u.k. he was released early though in a spy swap between the u.s. and russia trees in may has chaired a meeting of the national security council over script hours poisoning with mainstream media pointing the finger of blame directly at the chremylus. tends to poisonous for you to still trip around the state sponsored attempted murder just recently sixty blamed russia today theresa may will meet with ministers and officials at the national security council it's still speculation and for russian state involvement the only agenda chloe said that vladimir putin privy to console him probably the first and most likely thirty the spy scandal bonanza is certainly in full swing with the media hype reaching really curious levels they have been making allegations accusations speculation this story has been all the rage for over a week now despite the fact that there has been no proof no public publicly made fact and the investigation is obviously still continuing in terms of media details

there's been so much hype with this story with scary headlines and really pre-determined outcomes we've seen things like that this incident looks like a state sponsored attack they've been saying treat russia like the terrorist it is whether a script poisoning can be conclusively pinned on moscow is even beside the point the other side of the story has been this quiet life that this man had been living in the u.k. they've been talking about how he had the perfect family and lead this peaceful quiet life and there's been so much enthusiasm that some have been really making the story move forward much quicker than it should be with the times even at some point coming up with a headline mentioning swer paul's death which they certainly afterwards changed we do know that here in westminster lots of options have been thrown around about how to react to this whole story people have been saying that potentially of the

expulsion of diplomats and spies should take place that some kind of financial curbing of people connected to the kremlin should take place they've been saying that some british officials should not go to the world cup in russia so while all of this is. been going on it's been really hyped up in terms of dragging russia into this whole story including from many politicians here in central london let's take a look while it would be wrong to prejudge the investigation i can reassure the house that should evidence emerged that implies street responsibility then the majesty's government will respond appropriately robustly we look objective leigh the evidence we don't get ahead of ourselves and if there is evidence of a foreign state involvement we will need to respond has been more aggressive and we have to change the way that we actually deal with it because we can't be in a situation in these areas of conflict where we're being pushed around by another nation and with all of this really frenzy about this story that it seems to be for

in its very first stages unraveling we do know that russia has said let's calm down the hype until we have the facts let's look at the facts once they are presented and made public and of course while we're waiting for more information as the investigation unravels will be continuing watching this story very closely just like everyone else. meanwhile rush's presidential spokesperson has reacted to the hysteria in the mainstream media he emphasized that as the u.k. has made no official statement over russia's involvement in the case this is just speculation by british outlets which he pointed out are not always known for their impartiality we discuss the issue with human rights activists craig murray who believes the atmosphere has dominated the mainstream media for some time. in the british media that are appalling we know but it's not just that the senior british politicians have been naming. chairman of the commons foreign affairs committee

just to have today was pointing the finger at russia naming russia specifically i'm saying it was growing evidence pointing at russia was in fact there's been no evidence pointing anybody. just so far as tall. as this was going to be used to stoke up even further just a phobia that's pretty prevalent in the media for quite some time but we should remember of course that the people who told us that it will be exactly the same people who told us about saddam hussein's weapons of mass destruction so whether you believe them or not is of course quite a different thing than. in other news tonight terrorists and rebels occupying the enclave of eastern ghouta just outside the syrian capital damascus have reportedly started to fight each other that's according to the russian reconciliation center for syria it says in fighting began after one of the rebel groups resurged to separate from our mystery terrorists in exchange for talks about their safe passage

from the area earlier the reconciliation center struck a deal with some rebels allowing thirty two civilians half of them children to safely leave yang taif through a humanitarian corridor or it is the first time civilians have been able to use the corridor there as intended because previously the reader fired upon by militants who resorted to using a passing aid convoy as cover r.t. arabic correspondent martha bruni reports now from the ground. the syrian army has liberated several parts of eastern. also thanks to syrian russian efforts a number of civilians have managed to flee after being trapped inside a battle zone it was. that's after the russian reconciliation center for syria offered to militants and

their families an opportunity to leave with safety guarantees in exchange for allowing to free passage of civilians principal conditions of that deal was the separation of this rebel group called legion from ana sure a terrorist would harm this group has long been affiliated however these negotiations reportedly resulted in fighting between the former new shura and our allies which has led to an open confrontation an exchange of fire on the streets of . forcing civilians to flee the crossfire nevertheless all in all there's been a decline in fighting as a syrian government and russian reconsiderations center continue negotiating with militants for their safe passage out of the battle zone. while the rebel held area of eastern ghouta has been besieged by government forces since twenty thirteen however the fighting there has recently escalated and in the last few days the syrian government has regained a large portion of the territory pretty much all isolating the militants in seeing

just those three pockets of course suffering under mr rule in these areas have shared their stories. more now on the deal that allowed dozens of civilians to leave the fighting. militants in control of the area have let them out almost two weeks after russia and syria open the humanitarian corridor was not an act of good world on behalf of the rebel factions but part of a deal russia and syria led some antigovernment fighters safely flee with their families and in exchange fighters in ghouta would allow fifty civilians to leave the war zone as world that's me we've been suffering horribly for seven years we all stayed neutral in misrata we couldn't mean can do anything they didn't let us leave controlled pressure on us to leave the mystery night she'd we haven't seen any of the aid sent to us we haven't seen any money nothing he took everything from

us. militants treated civilians and he's good term as a bargaining chip making sure that if anyone flees they do it on the fighters terms the gloves were off from the start the russian defense ministry has reported that the pirates to safety were shelled almost religiously precisely to prevent anyone from fleeing to damascus trying to scape the hell fire between the government forces and militant groups whose fighters far too often side with terrorists. who have all sorts of needs inside order today the priority remains medical help that we need to. reach with the people inside all day and food.
