don't try and council what was supposed to be in a storage summit with north korea next month despite pyongyang going ahead nonetheless earlier today with dismantling its only nuclear testing facility just hours ago our correspondent in fact was near the site as the underground network was destroyed. coming up to the russian defense ministry criticizes the latest findings from the crash investigators looking into the air makes seventeen tragedy and twenty fourteen for a lying on social media pictures instead of witness accounts. and one of the year's biggest business events is under way in russia as global industry leaders and political elites gather for the same petersburg international economic forum.

for the good evening eight pm thursday night here in moscow thanks for watching r.t. with me kevin are not a big stories to cover for you tonight starting with this the breaking news after days of uncertainty donald trump earlier canceled his upcoming meeting with north korea's kim jong il and shared jewels for june the twelfth and singapore trouble later gave his reasons to reporters spending much of his time mentioning the u.s. military and its readiness to act a military which is by far the most powerful anywhere in the world that has been greatly enhanced recently as you well know. is ready if there's a serious hopefully positive things will be taking place with respect to the future of the north korean. but if they don't we are more ready than we have ever been before our military as you know has been greatly enhanced will soon be at

a level that it's never been before lot of things can happen. most close of course but it washington's american got across this one bring some speed all know what he said about finally pulling out and totally a surprise was it. well south korea has just reacted to the news expressing quote deep regret over trump canceling the june twelfth peace summit but the timing of trump's decision is pretty significant it comes just hours after north korea demolished its only nuclear testing site filling yet another condition it had agreed to earlier to improve relations with the u.s. now our correspondent was at the site and he was among the few journalists who were invited to witness it firsthand. well just that the phone getting nuclear test site inches from being noble we saw three hours of full ton of their i used for nuclear

testing one of them the north tunnel chile was used for the latest fall even nuclear test the other two were new and new with korea and told us that they had being ready to conduct nuclear tests there any movement so for them building up the build the tubes it's inside more of the real way old surely they're ready to make real concessions now the spectacle itself was quite impressive the explosions looks like smaller options than you will from under the ground floor so we generally couldn't really estimates as to how much damage would be with us today go to pyongyang with the nuclear program as a whole but north korea insists they've made this step the now well now they will expect something and with tehran now we are right now we are on the way back to once on as so as soon as possible we will be finding more reports. so judging by

that it seems that north korea is keeping its end of the bargain but trump cancel the meeting anyway and even though that decision the decision came from the u.s. side the white house seemed excited about it prior to the meeting of the white house released a commemorative coin depicting the two leaders a meeting all smiles a to honor the peace talks and the peace talks were seen world over as a positive development and trumped in china shy away from taking credit for it even saying that everyone said he deserved the nobel peace prize but towards the end of the letter trump sent to camp today trump said he was looking forward to meeting with kim in the future but considering everything that's just happened recently perhaps north korea should be cautious and dealing with the u.s. . difficult it would pick up from here is to washington correspondence we're a conference about well. more on who might be interested in jeopardizing any

diplomatic breakthroughs here. this is a good deal for the united states north korea will freeze and then dismantle its nuclear program south korea and our other allies will be better protected the entire world will be safer as we slow the spread of nuclear weapons the deal did sound good but it collapsed a few years later the u.s. promised north korea two nuclear reactors five hundred thousand tons of fuel year and a lifting of sanctions but it didn't deliver fast forward to two thousand and eighteen and yet another us administration is promising to strike a deal with pyongyang or is it you know there's a chance that it will work out there's a chance there's a very substantial chance it will work out i think it will be very successful but as i always say who knows you know i often say who knows who knows we'll see how it all works maybe you won't so are we going to be tantalized with another good deal with north korea that's ready to go only to see it fail again perhaps the u.s.

sees the status quo of seeing north korea as the ultimate threat as being something beneficial south korea is spending billions of dollars making bases and paying u.s. troops essentially to be there to ostensibly protect against a threat in the north now that being the case if there were to be peace in korea. there's going to be questioning as well do we need our troops there and so i think in that sense there are forces that don't want a resolution that benefit off the instability and allow us to maintain these troops and dozens and dozens of bases and posts in this small country in a region that we think strategically is or. you know big news today the crushed investigating malaysia airlines flight m h seventeen which was downed of recent ukraine in twenty fourteen has revealed more of its findings and admitting that

they coincide with those of a blog. who was more correspondent hawkins to what came out of today's media release then that meeting well in which seventeen came down over eastern ukraine in twenty fourteen at a time when the region was embroiled in war in a civil conflict at the time both sides involved the ukrainian army and the rebels in the east in the donetsk region blamed each other saying a missile from are the rebels or the soldiers depending on which version you look at cause of this tragedy in which nearly three hundred people died on this flight from amsterdam to kuala lumpur investigations follow the dutch safety board a j i t v george versification team both came to the conclusion that a missile of some sort most likely a book missile brought down this plane now they're saying today that this missile has been traced to russia and they moved to the fifty third and he aircraft brigade based in the western russian city of course now the russian side all along has

denied this they've said they have evidence from radar from satellites witness accounts as well proving that no such anti-aircraft weaponry ever crossed the border and that russia had nothing to do with this tragedy this was their statement today and we are concerned that the dutch investigation decided to base their investigation on images from social media that were edited what's more a number of the images that we used at the briefing were prepared by the ukrainian security services and was shown on a number of occasions by belling cats we want to draw to everyone's attention that the dutch investigators have ignored witness accounts many eyewitnesses saw the tragedy themselves they are not images from social media they are real people who gave their testimonies on record to the european and american media. the russian defense minister criticized the team's report saying that evidence they provided was either ignored or not given due attention instead the investigative team were

lying as we heard there on belling catch which is a citizen journalism or to citizen journalism organization relying on open source data social media youtube videos etc to bring about their evidence let's take a closer look to what they had to say today. we realize that the belling get investigation team already reached the same conclusions and published that we as the joint investigation team have our own independent investigation and the conclusions we draw from it must be based on legal and convincing evidence which will stand in a courtroom. now much of the evidence presented that was of course. refutable proof of russia's involvement or indeed russia's guilt in the downing of this plane but aside from having their evidence used in these of official investigations by link out of course as an organization has not certainly been short of both criticism and controversy as we can take

a look at now. and higgins who runs the website telling can the laid off admin work who made a name for himself by analyzing weapons used in the syrian conflict and never been to syria. doesn't speak out there and he conducts his presidency set from the content of his honor in his home he gives himself admits he has no experience in the field before the arab spring and you know more about weapons than the average exploits owner had no knowledge beyond what i've learned from arnold schwarzenegger and run though. his tools of choice for uncovering global conspiracies you tube and google billboards in the area kind of look the same but it wasn't really you know this isn't enough to say this is the same there was you can see the path from the grass but again it's not a great match so we know the russians light. and the media

loves eliot higgins or dish blogger who's been analyzing the pictures of the wreckage thank you for joining the program but some are questioning his methods like the developer of the photo analysis program which palin can't use to claim moscow faked satellite images and image forensics experts on fanzine what it is doing is nothing more than reading tea leaves. era level analysis is a method used by hobbyists not fun of obsessives are ecstatic about scrutinizing spelling counts analysis for his claim he's showing photos of two different book missile systems in an attempt to prove the weapon came from russia they say the one pictured in russia is a newer model because it features a recent modification and for the claim that no ukrainian books were in the area at the time of the crash well fellow bloggers dug up screen shots from ukrainian t.v. apparently showing a book missile system complete with radar in the area just a few days before the tragedy or can tell you we've been in touch with bell and cat

which stated the russian government and media resorted to conspiracy theories they say false claims and fake evidence to cover up the downing of a made seventy blank out then went on to praise its own probe and accurate we spoke to storage east europe expert model mccauley he believes the m eight seventeen investigation is seriously flawed however and after four years hasn't reached any conclusive results there are two factors which are very important one is the investigators did not have access to the site where the book. surface to air missiles fired they haven't had access to that site and secondly. the investigators said they haven't released all the information that they possess so therefore the holding back information therefore we can say is if you like it's like a four hundred meter race properly done three hundred meters three hundred fifty meters but we still have the final lap for the top half to go we don't

know what the answer to the question is who fired the missile and why was it fired we don't know that yet. more thursday developments to come where is petersburg this big meeting up the big four in the big names attending a economic forum with more rescues a couple minutes. and . those who know the middle east understand that the decision to bring tens of thousands of palestinian marchers to our border is the work of come up the question is does a country like israel have a right to protect its borders its internationally recognized borders if you say no it doesn't then you you will be exposed.

what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want. to go right to the press this is what the full story of the more people are. interested always in the water. business and political elites gathering in russia's northern capital but in some petersburg one of the main events of the business calendar the international economic forum fifteen thousand participants from seventy two countries including around two hundred fifty c.e.o.'s will be there over the coming days and will make sure you don't miss a thing. well

among the v.i.p. guests at the forum then french president emanuel macron new who we saw earlier talking with putin. was there following his arrival for us. short while ago witnessed the most intense abated moment of thursday and that's the first appearance of emmanuel macron and vladimir putin in front of cameras during the current french president's first ever trip to russia and the format of the visit suggests that he didn't have to bring his wife here but he did so he's here with bridget and it seems that lately any important woman who comes to visit lot of uprooting gets a bookie of flowers angle miracle did so last week when she went to saw this bridget got a book a two and then they proceeded to the balcony and this is what they saw was told at the designers of the park this is just outside in st petersburg residence so back

to the designers once they drew the inspiration from their site isn't that symbolic and i can tell you that hundreds of journalists i guess but less than that maybe just one hundred gathered there and they all remember including myself how just a short while ago emmanuel macron was holding hands with donald trump at their meeting and they remember how a few awkward moments led to people talking about their bromance and the journalist work yuri is weathering fraction of that chemistry will be seen here between mr macron and mr putin i can tell you that they have to translators there but at some point it seemed they were speaking the same language and the translators weren't involved but other than that it was pure diplomatic rapprochement none of that tapping on the shoulder and maybe it is easy to explain just think about it

emmanuel macron as first visit to russia comes when at least on an international political chessboard powers and moscow are on completely different sides but when it comes to one issue that is the. radian nuclear deal just like angola merkel and germany moscow with france at this point they are on the same page and very soon we will find out whether this particular matter will help the two leaders build small bridges and any case it's much easier to track the story of communication between macron and putin it is much shorter than that of angola merkel for example they've known each other with vladimir putin for more than two decades but it's still worth checking out. the more.

i respect him and i know him. home from small. we have

lots of the fortunate is to align our positions and work together in key areas. we should never be weak whisper of them when you are weak. he uses it and it's fine that again just going back to these numbers of the foreign participants two hundred fifty c.e.o.'s that does sound like an impressive number with the way things may be looking like right now when it comes to russia getting together with the rest of the world so loads still to come and many things to watch out for . but we're talking of the nuts and bolts of this let's see what circus you know you can't negotiate no she was a nice meal and seems the russian president's also should look to dine with his french counterpart is a look at what's on the many of them tonight pancakes with caviar as well as crabs traditional soup with french twist sturgeon steak venison the main course and then

they will be topped off with a chocolate cake for dessert if they can face it. other v.i.p.'s heading to the form include the japanese prime minister and china's vice president will be joined by some of the world's top business leaders and heads of international economic organizations here's what some have been telling us about the u.s. china trade war and how they say see the economic climate in russia right now. i think china is very modern on track i think the russian economy is on the man and us economy actually the strong so in the short term the growth is actually above the trend of girls which means by twenty twenty we could see a risk of recession in the united states paid war between us china would result in a lose lose situation which means the policy makers on both sides are likely to be rational that's what we have seen in past two weeks but having said that i

think the trade the tensions between china united states are unlikely to go away really just for one reason the u.s. economy right now is facing the risk of overheating at the same time the fiscal policy with tax cuts could actually result in a larger trade deficit between the united states and china. i know that the europeans want to make many people in the world think the sanctions are absurd including me i hope they're dropped i don't think it will happen anytime soon though will america with rather sanctions probably not will the europeans say we're going to do it anyway probably so the germans don't see any reason for it there tahlia as many people do not see any reason for the sanctions and they will point out i don't know of any sanctions in history that have had a major effect yes there are facts on individuals and some companies that sectors but historically speaking i know of no better had

a major effect. than most if you look at russia and its economic figures you can see that during the past ten to twenty years russia has been developing rapidly we've seen how russia continues to develop despite the sanctions and i say that based on our company's own figures and experience the local market has changed look at what happened after the first sanctions in the food and drinks industry it reacted really fast and continued to grow. well we're going to continue to check in in live in the form of the next few days hearing from more of the delegates and getting updates from our new stevenson pages but there are of course. german anti fascist groups of issued a guidebook for potential rioters they want to encourage people to disrupt the

gathering of the right wing alternative for germany party in bavaria next month peter all of it takes a look at. alternative for germany will be holding their party conference in the beautiful but varied city of output this summer however until fascist groups of the turbaned to disrupt it going as far as to publish took guide for those wishing to turn up and demonstrate that contains more than a few tips on how to start a riot we suggest tracking and exploiting the f.t.'s weak points across germany so that we can guarantee the necessary space of protests in all spoke it's a very detailed guided includes mops of where members will be staying the routes that they'll be taking in the best places to disrupt the event from and there's also a section that includes writing and life facts everything the first time writer will need like how to block roads how to prepare paint to be hurled correctly but

there's also some more unsavory instructions as well the best ways to burn tires to smash shop windows or to burn cars all without leaving any evidence that you were there or for that matter being able to be identified on security footage we wish you a lot of fun trying our instructions we showed the so-called right guy to a.f.p. spokesperson ronald glaser and asked him just how worrying it is to his members the meth just clear we know where you all are being we're going to come for you this is some kind of disgusting kind of intimidation but he will not keep it you know with anybody in the party that considering any extra security measures. will expert security measures. can be helpful but we did not have any party gathering. without a lot of security around the police and private security organizations so it would

be different this time we also spoke to the left party and asked whether they endorsed this guy eight zero. if they thought the far left group anti far gone too far this time. it's less of the traditional. which simply never get interest and never again year fifty years of clearly anti human this. bring for that racist statements before. he or even work together of context or militaristic clashes groups so we all the human list forces and actors in society have to stand together and. to do resistance against the quality of the. police in oxburgh are preparing for what's being described as an unprecedented operation some two thousand officers will be drafted in including reinforcements from nearby areas and they may well be needed fighting between anti

fire demonstrators and police has turned nasty in the past as i found out firsthand during the anti g twenty right and how last summer was but was so. i actually read between the police and the demonstrators right now so we're going to try to get out of the way. i the police in hamburg were also warned ahead of time that something big was being planned there and with just over a month to go before the a half day conference on the thirtieth of june. to see if they can stop

a similar situation unfolding there peter all of our r.t. berlin time so the news of the can from moscow so for all keep an eye on that economic forum in the house they will go to it but for now the programs right after this break. seventy four design submissions. seven thousand pilings.

to join judges. and eight hundred sixty nonstop days of work. a russian w.b. a champion. and a russian pop stuff. show you how. long the crimean bridge was built. witnessed the construction living you need to transport. that will help out of crimea. faster most of those you know what google for more snow yep it abuts clear.

well consider alex salmon she went to the first overseas and british ship building from global dominance of commercial shipping at the end of the nineteenth century to near insignificance just a century later we think of collins and wolf as a famous delphi ship builder but a century ago they had charts on the quite as well as no less than six or pay yards here on the river thames but industry is long gone i spoke to engineering has taken the place of real engineering now in the twenty first century the u.k. government's grand leading to british ship boating strategy is entirely focused on military ships while the world commercial shipping market of two hundred fifty billion has been virtually abandoned to international competitors in this first program we look initially at the views of m.p.'s on a cross party basis on whether the government will honor its commitments to sustaining a lifeline of military orders and we talked to the general secretary of the ship both in unions who is galvanizing this cross party support to keep the government's

feet to the ship building fire over the next couple of weeks we'll be talking to the people who actually run yards across the british isles and to some of the workers who build the ships and ask them directly it's british been going both way to a new sunrise or still sliding towards an inevitable sunset but first it's alex with your tweets your messages and your emails. but first up is from chris so says the interview of the m.p. from island interesting insight and perspective i wouldn't have voted out if i'd taken a second to consider the impact and island very interesting person and joe got to say it did i see dolly doing the tory power stance when he was speaking to the professor on screen last week and this is what jill is talking about. and take a look at this. well sorry disappoint you joe i can't speak for the top.
