you see our interests lie more with the u.s. now with iran and they're going to not risk these kind of sanctions where do real impact is going to be remains to be seen we should not forget that the e.u. politically on foreign policy issues is has always been strong on words and symbols but. they should. the importance of keeping the iran nuclear deal alive is one of the things the e.u. and russia strongly agree upon that issue among others is expected to be discussed at today's meeting between unflooded we have put in we'll bring you were reported on a visit to russia in just a few minutes. more victims of forced sterilization under japan's now scrapped eugenics law are speaking out and suing the government for compensation here's the story of one of the thousands of victims a seventy five year old man who didn't want to be identified and whose name has been changed. because i was forced to have the operation in second grade of junior

high school please return the life that i've lost my life has been made to thirty six however in my heart i have a feeling that i want to tell the story kiddo was sterilized as a teenager without warning or explanation he was taken to a hospital and operated on he was later told it was punishment for misbehavior at school something considered abnormal now he's suing the government for about two hundred seventy thousand dollars when he married later on he couldn't bring himself to tell his wife and after decades of a childless marriage she managed only to break the news shortly before her death in two thousand and thirteen when i confided to my wife about the operation i apologized from the bottom of my heart that i made one woman unhappy i can't imagine how hurts my wife was whenever she was told by people around her that you still haven't had a child and by her friends that's why can't you have a child she was just. me listening to my story and when she finished listening she

didn't say anything about the operation at school but just at the kindest words when i always have in the g. and eats well japan's eugenic protection law was first introduced in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight with an intent of what was described as preserving the purity of the japanese race it allowed for the sterilization of people with genetic disabilities with the declared intent of eliminating malignant genes however inaccurate medical tests often lead to wrongful surgical treatment permitting operations on over sixteen thousand people in japan until one thousand nine hundred ninety six story is a rare one though as earlier lawsuits showed the majority of victims were women and he only revealed his story after he had heard them speak up we previously interviewed the woman who was the first to do this. has a hard time going through the middle school.

one of the teachers to sneak into his house. i was constantly being used by his wife and never had the chance to see the. diagnosis either she hated me. told me the time was operated on and now i can or my father didn't agree to. decide to buy the future welfare of. the government claims its hands are clean as it was just complying with japanese law at the time but for the victims this isn't good enough officials plan to carry out a nationwide survey into the consequences of the now defunct law i mean increasing scrutiny of the practice with more operations being declassified day by day it's causing more people to demand the government come. but save its victims

unfortunately this won't return the lives of the victims say they have lost the only thing keith has left to hope for is justice for him and others are going to push true for those people who so food to. donald trump's controversial pick to head the cia hospital has been confirmed by the senate becoming the first woman to leave the agency but the appointment was made possible after some key democratic senators voted in her favor despite her alleged links to the cia's secret torture program. and i believe that she has both the temperament and courage to stand up to this president should he try to bring forward a torture program or for that matter anything else that is immoral or inappropriate there are two reasons that i oppose this nomination miss haskel support for torture

and her willingness to destroy evidence of the cia's use of torture this lady is the real deal i'm telling you we're here with everything we possibly think she answered didn't flinch at all she's thirty three years of experience there's nobody else that comes to this job like she's prepared and i have serious concerns about. her confirmation and what kind of signal. the media were quick to suggest a rift within the democratic party we spoke to the cia officer who first made public the use of such torture by the agency john kiriakou he says are the democrats mistake golden opportunity to show leadership on a key moral issue i think that this was a collapse what we saw in the senate today was a collapse among democrats a collapse in democratic leadership this is something that the democrats could have seized on and they had the support of john mccain and they had the support of jeff flake the junior senator from arizona and they did nothing with it we were looking for leadership on the end. he has both sides from the likes of mark warner the

senior senator from virginia who is also the vice chairman of the senate intelligence committee and he flip flopped and decided after saying all these things about you know haskell and how terrible it was what she did that she should never have destroyed the tapes and then when it really came down to it he voted yes that was a complete abdication of leadership among the democrats however to hillary clinton's presidential campaign richard goodstein he denies there is any rift among the democrats this is more of a partisan than it is an ideological or moral decision that the senators were making the the senators who voted against her were no more moral than the ones who voted for her you know that there were debates about that debate obviously about torture but by and large this was a vote generally along party lines and many of donald trump's nominees have been getting a few democratic votes and she was an example of that so i again i don't see this

is something that's going to create a real schism within the democratic party around her leadership of the cia but you know it remains to be seen what she does on the drop. part of facebook is teaming up with a washington based think tank to stop propaganda and misinformation during elections when look at why it's something the initiative will have the opposite effect that will be after a short break. i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside. the pool isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from

the fans it's the age of the super money. and spending two hundred twenty million. it's an experience like nothing else. i want to share what i think about the beautiful game a great chance for. the banks. to . get if you join us today for this program on arts he. is visiting the russian city of sochi where she is expected to sit down with the president vladimir putin.

reports from such. angela merkel is getting together with vladimir putin basically just days after donald trump said goodbye to the uranium nuclear deal and perhaps that is a good reason for the two leaders who both want the green light to stay no matter want to have a conversation about it and add it to their usual ukraine syria agenda. i think it's not right to can laterally cancel a deal that was agreed upon that was unanimously approved in the u.n. security council should diminishes confidence in the international order so donald trump's deal exit almost automatically meant that american sanctions against iran were coming back and german business leaders who thanks to the iranian agreement in the first place had rushed to do business there even asked the chancellor to protect their economic interests similar calls have been heard as a result of reports in the us media that suggested that the american president has

really been pushing the german government to abandon the north's training to gas pipeline project for the direct deliveries of russian natural gas to europe reportedly mr trump's administration even threatened to reconsider the trade agreement with the european union going back to the upcoming summit in saud she said they weren't going to bring up and tell you russian sanctions but we do understand that they may be mentioned as soon as ukraine is mentioned speaking of syria just a few days ago while addressing the bundestag the german chancellor said the conflict there cannot be resolved without involving all colleen's of partners internationally but for some reason she didn't mention the us into business and all of the middle of the civil war in syria and this fight against islamic terrorism

has asked latent from the original conflict to an international one. which cannot be sold without russia turkey iran saudi arabia jordan and you were previously glad of our program in angola merkel have met more than two dozen times on some occasions there were signs of friendliness and others it was just pure diplomacy. that was the same as the russian president likes to drink german beer and sometimes there is a possibility that we can exchange i've also gotten very good smoked. anjuta from

time to time sense because one feels the president of the peace. now when it comes to the iran nuclear deal in particular german politicians believe says russia and germany do share a common interest. in it. together was so lots of photos from and seeing nuclear. he was you have on and nations under the umbrella of united nations and therefore i think we have a common interest so the germans and the washrooms and us of the chinese and others us of planes as a blip of kochi the list goes on we share common in close. and zero five saying we expect. in germany of leave there might be old standing

a result of this meeting. a new report by german media suggests a bird when obtained north of chalk decades ago and shared it with its allies the nerve agent was used in the poisoning of former spies sort of a script pollen his daughter yulia in march in the english city of salzburg the u.k. blames russia for the attack claiming it was the only country possessing the substance artie's police work or investigates. the headline grabbing revelation in this german media report is that the german intelligence agency the b. and d. has handed a sample of the novacek nerve agent since the early one nine hundred ninety s. it was apparently brought over by a former soviet scientist moreover according to these reports the sample was analyzed in sweden and then it was passed on to germany's nato partners including the u.s. and the u.k.

the german media investigation also says that this goes to show that russia has been producing novacek which is something that most go categorically denies but coming back to the formula itself it appears to have been a pretty badly kept secret earlier this month the czech president milan steadman said that the czech republic had produced and stored albeit a slightly different strain of the nerve agent to the one used in salisbury but nevertheless that country shouldn't be hypocritical about this bill. small amounts of money were produced interested in the czech republic we know well and we know where it would be hypocritical to pretend that such a thing never happened. however politically moscow has been cost very much as the unequivocal perpetrator of the soul's bre attack to reason may said that it was highly likely that russia was behind the attack on the script take

a lesson where all the confidence about the identity of the culprit no other country has a combination of the capability the intent and the motive to carry out such an act is no poolesville alternative explanation yet but. this is. a close even likely able to forgive. the plausible explanation that's what the politicians have said but the head of the government here in the u.k. that was analyzing and identifying the sample of the nerve agent used in the attack porton down the head of that government lab hasn't been able to confirm the origin of the nerve agent itself used in soulsby and now some news outlets are saying that these revelations show that a whole wrong fifth countries have had a sample of this nerve agent for nearly two decades now and as one of the newspapers that published this investigation has said this british theory that the

poison could only come from russia shares unjustified confidence and a former german intelligence officer ran a rope believes the german media articles on this issue are credible. reports as far as i. go. from other reports sunspots of it's. in particular this research group ok so this is we're prepared to talk about who participated in this operation so. sounds plausible to me. all the more because germany had already had the best german government previously tried to acquire. chemical weapons. and as the ingredients for this horrific stuff

can be board ready almost everywhere if you have the formula all you need is a secure billboard basically it could be done anywhere. facebook has launched a scheme to prevent election related propaganda and misinformation it's a joint project with the atlantic council a washington based think tank this will help increase the number of ice and ears who have working to spot potential abuse on our service enabling us to more effectively identify gaps in our systems preempt obstacles and ensure that facebook plays a positive role during elections all around the world the atlantic council calls itself a nonpartisan institution but it has been certainly criticized for giving corporate donors privileged access to u.s. and foreign government officials some of its biggest donors and contributors are

while the arms manufacturers and the oil giants and critics describe it as a platform for neoconservatives but joint projects announcement has been greeted with some skepticism. saudi weapons manufacturer funded military think terror which has produced new perhaps fake news stories teams up with facebook to protect democratic elections so why the atlantic council exactly do you think open line yourself with an entity whose brief propagandizing for war will help you achieve reputation for neutrality. to be friends the owners of major news organizations weapons manufacturers the results of the atlantic council's influence will be similar to that of those companies facebook's output will no longer meaningfully different from that of corporate media it's alarming but this is a clear response to the fact that americans are growing increasingly disenfranchise

with the nonsensical military propaganda we don't believe this military nonsense anymore and more and more americans want to get out of nato entirely and so you have now the atlantic council whose entire mission is to maintain and grow organizations like nato and obviously including nato and now they're getting access to our social media security but they are not really intellectually neutral they're not politically neutral they risk clearly have an agenda of expansion of military aggression of encouraging other countries to do proxy military aggression so they're certainly not unbiased so i think this is going to backfire against facebook this is not what the american people want we don't want more propaganda telling us that we need military overreach we want less military over each. party's launch to project cold romanov's one hundred that's dedicated to russia's last remaining family it features thousands of red postal photographs of romanov family

members published nowadays via facebook twitter instagram and you tube and made nine hundred sixteen nicholas the second then his family went to crimea and attended a naval parade in sevastopol before going to yes. it was the last time the royal family visited that peninsula. and you can also take part in bringing the history of the romanovs back to life we've launched a competition to find the best digitally colorized versions of their old pics. choose one of the black and white house romanov family snaps from the website and upload it on twitter instagram or facebook using the hash tag one hundred and for example behind me you can see some examples of the kind of digital colorization we have in mind when is to be chosen in july details online. just about wraps up the program for this hour here on r.t.

international though we are back soon with more. than twenty four you know bloody revolution to the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be freezing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it just below here. is. spilling into the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty four. those who took part in this today over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. seemed wrong. just don't hold. me. to shape

our disdain becomes active. and engaged equals betrayal. when some find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. in some american cities the police of schooling to read each nation. on the streets of the united states are at risk from the very people who are supposed to protect. people and. you can see something happening and this is like i don't want to. call the cops into. their lives chasing the. same goes on the trigger you never know better safe than sorry i don't know that someone else is going to pull

a gun yet unfortunately around and around here we end up going. to. some of our no summit that's the question north korea's threat of a no show in singapore on june twelfth as a reminder to washington that north korea will not merely cave to american demands if there's going to be an agreement it's going to take time and patience. i.

this non-callable show has been looking enough to travel to many of the thirteen countries that have qualified for the fateful world call but it is warm it stands out above all five times world champions welcome to brazil. so from christ the redeemer looking out of a beautiful rio de janeiro to one of the world's most iconic started the american no.

american. icon the venue is hosting to free for world cup finals the first in nineteen fifty one one hundred ninety nine families and people. in the rough and then i was here it's a witness over in the media tribune germany you know one nil in the two thousand and fourteen edition they say it's quite an incredible venue. something about. the rights of the museum wearing the famous brazil shirts and in america we have a big right man joining us on the first episode of the stan collymore show he means very little introduction. of soccer yeah he played on some to sing some paolo but he made a lot of history here in the stadium that's the ball of the go one thousand. that's the ball yeah he scored over a thousand goals but there's a famous one is a penalty as a penalty and the american on the bow they schooldays ties and go with her majesty the queen come to the american or when made the birthplace right through this

before and right i think to five she came here on the cd sixty eight ok they were sponsored a project of construction here on the cd and they came here she was a fan of fela playing and we made a match for nick we here the king of soccer and the queen of england. with. the queen and the. yeah that's that's the seats and i mean the gold mine hundred these match for the queen one year before number one thousand one hundred goals. genius was the walkway of fame. on the sign of the great manager of the team in knowing. and here. otto or tony's going to but we now we see how.

he deals with his dad every time when i was eleven dad was the reason play football really. always want to not see the forest a close look like for a song i would have but because. you know i'm forty years old i still get emotional when i hear this. or said. you are off to give you a big hug. oh the reason why i wanted to be a footballer so. imagine rewinding to being an eleven year old kid and watching this. and these teammates do things that i've still never seen on a football pitch and this was one of the football but it was

a plane that will cope. i'm very lucky to have a very good football career played with and against some incredible people but zico was the man. when i was an eleven year old inspired me to play football so oh god first how good was the brazilian team of nine hundred. to. study if you're going to but as you. call it for specific i guess for players like. in the brazilian national saying he looked like so for now. but he was you hero in that famous brazilian

shirts bone marrow marrow from what he had to drag out of the flamenco phrygian. sense and when they way to it if we. allow those of us on resilience you. did it was it. was just coming. in on me. nearly and i'm. cool. with british style movie you. know v a lot that is known to me in. the last push to do them is those emotions rolled out of. you know. look. if you're talking about four football historical documents it doesn't get

much better there are journalists that will of course write great books about football and there are many many great books but for one of the fee for greatest players of all time to document his own goals his own performances i have never seen this before so this is the world. i grew up watching in this incredible team so we have. arland seven new against the irish russia in sylvia isn't easy. producers from seville. fall to the free kick off. alan rowe all this is for you remember this is the month let's look at the great man who's written him so one more full one. in severe yet one free kick no was on the phone oh yeah argentina in barcelona to the wrong.
