5:01 pm
they're just a midnight in moscow thanks for watching out international with me kevin a lot of big stories to tell you about brief you on first after days of uncertainty donald trump has canceled his upcoming meeting with north korea's kim jong un that was shared tool for june in singapore later gave his reasons to reporters spending much of his time mentioning the u.s. military and its readiness to act. our military which is by far the most powerful anywhere in the world powerful anywhere in the world is ready if necessary and has been greatly enhanced recently as you well know as you all know already we are more ready than we have ever been before our military as you know has been greatly enhanced greatly enhanced will soon be at
5:02 pm
a level that it's never been before never been before powerful anywhere in the world a lot of things can happen. so sara come next that has more on the u.s. latest decision to scrub that highly anticipated summit with north korea the white house released the official letter from sent to kim today and it says i was very much looking forward to being there with you sadly based on the tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in your most recent statement i feel it is inappropriate at this time to have this long planned meeting so the timing of the terms decision is rather significant this comes hours after north korea destroyed its only nuclear testing site the feeling yet another condition it agreed to for the sake of improving relations with the u.s. now our correspondent was at the site and he was among the few journalists invited to witness it firsthand with just because of the. nuclear test site which is from the noble. fools on those very useful nuclear testing one of them the
5:03 pm
north strong no treaty was used for the latest volley the nuclear test the other two were new and with korea and told us that they had been ready to conduct a nuclear test and the movement so for them. the. one that we always sure we ready to make a real concession now the start to go it was quite impressive the explosions looks like small eruptions of rule from under the ground 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 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
5:04 pm
a positive development and trump didn't shy away from taking credit for it i even saying that everyone said he deserved the nobel peace prize. but towards the end of the letter trump sent to cam today terms 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. so to recap trumps cancellation he says was triggered by a statement made by north korea's foreign ministry and that came in response to comparisons made with libya from the u.s. vice president who pyongyang is labeled a political dummy. this will only end like the libyan model ended if kim jong un doesn't make a deal some people saw that as a threat but i think when john got made that statement. yeah i think that's what denuclearization means and we have very much in mind the libyan model from two thousand and three two thousand and four he was talking about if we're going to be
5:05 pm
having a problem because we cannot let that country have nukes we just can't do it the model if you look at that model with gadhafi that was a total decimation we went in there to beat up now that model would take place if we don't make a deal most likely president from an earlier war north korea could face the same fate as libya to remind you libya gave up its weapons of mass destruction in two thousand and three but nonetheless still faced a nato intervention eight years later the director of the china national association of international studies big to go thinks the u.s. is set the peace process back now on the korean peninsula. i did present a double trance decision to cancel the meeting scheduled. with the sit room leader . is a very bad of the developments and it's not constructive for the prospects of beauty a lasting peace on the korean peninsula is all about the help in colorado they
5:06 pm
should process not the united states president trump made that decision immediately after the destruction of the tested so that by the way and this even made the whole situation worse it made it less easy to trust the real intention of the united states and it also creates more difficulties for d.p. r. k. and its leaders to really come to terms with the future decision to meet with the presidents of the united states. first time washington scrapped historic deals with north korea to next looks at who's to gain from derailing any breakthroughs and while this might sound familiar when he went from previous esas put on the table. 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
5:07 pm
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 you know there's a chance that it will work out there's a chance it's a very substantial chance that 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 how it all works maybe you want to perhaps the u.s. sees the status quo of seeing north korea as the ultimate threat as being something beneficial to 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
5:08 pm
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 anime's of a government our friends of its military industrial complex and having a nemesis like north korea is a great excuse to pump up that military budget the request includes an additional four billion dollars to support the phaeton defense announcements to counter the threat from north korea no point seven billion to repair damage to u.s. navy ships and one point two billion in support of my administration south asia strategy japan is want to. ally that stands to benefit from u.s. military expansion especially after the recent reelection of its prime minister who vowed to defend japan from north korean aggression weeks after p.r. yang's missile launches these election is about whether we can defend japan from
5:09 pm
north korea and ensure it will leave happily and the unpredictability on the korean peninsula has fringe benefits for some american rivals the south china sea has been a serious bone of contention as of late with the u.s. attempting to assert its naval presence there much to beijing's annoyance so the larger threat of north korea's nuclear program has shifted u.s. military attention that would otherwise be focused towards china and although russia doesn't directly benefit from its unpredictable neighbor it certainly doesn't mind a challenge to u.s. dominance in the region what these countries are just beginning to recognize is they getting into an arms race increasing in and as china is expanding its military operations it takes money out of the economic damages the kind of the which we can is there a is a very complicated issue. who are essentially
5:10 pm
getting the short end of the stick this is something that must change countries as they begin to take the spreadsheet figure it out it will be of benefit to countries in the region from peace in northeast asia. back in talks between the u.s. and north korea was one that came up in talks earlier to between vladimir putin about wilma crawl and at the same plate as burg international economic forum. john underscore did everything you promised before even blew up the tunnels in the silos on this test site and after that we heard about the cancellation of the summit. and you know what i would really want is for that process already underway to decrease tensions on the peninsula as well as the process of denuclearization and disarmament of the pincher process to continue to do the film to the peta people you are going to see in the reporting but. it is simply has been following
5:11 pm
the russian leaders meeting with the french president. first when vladimir putin and emmanuel macron appeared in front of t.v. cameras there was none of this trump get together stahl tapping on the shoulder and other things and it seemed that the leaders of russia and france were going to get away with some traditional diplomatic language when they were going to target the journalists however when the press conference began supplies ing lee i guess emmanuel macron speech started to resemble a love letter to russia the french president spoke for more than four times longer than his russian counterpart mr macron also showed off his affection for the big names in russian literature like dostoyevsky or soldier needs and he even paid special attention to remembering the victims of the so-called leningrad blockade during the second world war this was of course one of the tragedies in this city st
5:12 pm
petersburg known as leningrad in the u.s.s.r. besides this and manual macron addressed the russian president as share of the near or dear vladimir instead of mr putin at the beginning of what he was saying but it wasn't just about how many nice things quite surprisingly mr macron said about russia one billion u.s. dollars worth of deals were signed during the meeting. scientists the presidents of russia talked about so much and brought up so many things i'll just give you a list syria iran cyber security the korean crisis sanctions multi-polar world freedom of speech and even football but i'll come back to that a bit later among other things the leaders of the two countries agreed in the next few weeks to come up with a mechanism to bring the competing syria peace talks platforms together plus they want to work hand in glove to save the uranium nuclear deal with mr donald trump
5:13 pm
has just dumped also emanuel macron said it outloud russia's international role in numerous regions and conflicts needs to be praised. you could i would she said been familiar with much as you know i do acknowledge russia has increased its role in the international arena in particular the middle east and on the newly gained role of leader comes with responsibilities and i'm well aware of the role russia plays resolving various international conflicts the presidents of france and russia came out to talk to the journalists about two hours later then they were expecting to do in the first place and surely that was because they had many things to discuss but also i believe the reason for it is the lavish dinner that they were having i just want to give you some of the things that were on their menu pancakes with caviar as well as a crab starter then a traditional russian soup but with
5:14 pm
a french twist also sturgeon steak and a venison was the main course and that was all topped off with chocolate cake for dessert and i just want to go back to the first seconds of the summit when emanuel macron left his limo he was hog wild a lot of our putin who also prepared a book of flowers for macaroons wife bridget who according to the format of this official visit wasn't even so. posta come to russia but she did from the start of it to the very end one of the journalists asked emmanuel macron if he was ready to come back to russia in a month to support the french national team and here's what we heard from france's leader in the end i hope to travel here to support our football team if france makes it to the quarter final definitely be here to support it i'm optimistic by nature and then we'll meet again with president putin. could hear it with other
5:15 pm
v.i.p.'s on the guest list at the internationally coming form of the japanese prime minister and china's vice president they're going to be joined by some of the world's top business leaders and heads of international economic organizations will continue checking in live form over the next few days of kick off really again tomorrow here in from all the delegates and getting updates from news team in st petersburg. germany fascist groups of issued a guidebook for potential rioters they want to encourage people to disrupt the gathering of the right wing alternative of germany party in bavaria next month artie's peter all of a takes a look at the guide. alternative for germany will be holding their party conference in the beautiful but varied city of out this summer however until fascist groups of
5:16 pm
the turbaned to disrupt it going as far as to publish i 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 for protests and or spoke it's a very detailed guided includes maps 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 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
5:17 pm
you a lot of fun trying our instructions we showed the so-called right guy to see if the spokes person ronald glaser and asked him just how worrying it is to his members the best just call your we know where you are being we're going to come for you this is some kind of disgusting kind of intimidation but even not you know what anybody in the party would considering any extra security measures. will expert security measures. can be helpful but we did not have any party gathering any big party 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. or if they thought the far left group anti far gone too far this time. it's left to the traditional you or the rope which simply never good for
5:18 pm
sizzle and never again year fifty years of clearly anti human this. bring for that racist statements bring forward. or even work together of context to militaristic fascist groups so we all all the human lives falls as an actress and society have to stand together. to do resistance against the politics of the. police in our experts 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 in hamburg last summer was the cause it was so.
5:19 pm
i we're actually right 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. . air crash team investigating the laser airlines flight m h seventeen which was downed over eastern ukraine in twenty fourteen has revealed more of its findings admitting they coincide with those of
5:20 pm
a blogger artie's daniel hawkins has more of the findings of the probe and the reaction to it earlier. m h seventeen was a civilian airliner heading from amsterdam to call a loon poor and it was brought down in twenty fourteen over eastern ukraine that the time the whole region was engulfed in the ukrainian civil war it was a battle ground with both sides the ukrainian armed forces and the rebels in the east blaming each other for this tragedy in which nearly three hundred people were killed investigations follow the dutch safety board a j i t v your diversification 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 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 we are concerned
5:21 pm
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 were 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 and the russian defense ministry as you heard there was a very critical of the j i t's conclusion namely the evidence that was discounted than the evidence that was used a lot of which relied on an organization called blink at a amateur citizen journalism a group using open source data of videos from you tube or images from social media to build their version of events with a joint of ethic of team themselves saying that many of the conclusions that
5:22 pm
belling cat had come to also fitted in with their version of events. it we realize that the belling get in the team already reach the same conclusions and publish them. 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 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 been short of both criticism and controversy as we can take a look at now and higgins who runs the website belling can the laid off admin work who made a name for itself by analyzing weapons used in the syrian conflict never been to syria. doesn't speak out there and he conducts his
5:23 pm
present research from the content of his armchair and his home he gives himself admits he has no experience in the field before the arab spring i knew no more about weapons than the average x. books i had no knowledge beyond what i learned from arnold schwarzenegger and rambo . 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 by the developer of the photo analysis program which palin counted used to claim moscow faked satellite images and image forensics experts on fanzine what it is
5:24 pm
doing is nothing more than reading tea leaves every level analysis is a method used by the. hobbyists but full 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 to 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 it will touch a bell and cat told us the russian government and media have resorted to conspiracy theories false claims and fake evidence to cover up the downing of a made seventeen for the war the group then went on to describe its own investigation as thorough and accurate we've been asking analysts and commentators for their thoughts on the mh seventeen team's latest interim results. the way it
5:25 pm
works it's what it the country's it consists of the angle it's taken from the starts the implicit bias in the way it's operating i don't think we're going to see any justice let alone fairness and accuracy it in terms of its conclusion the method of investigation in this case are is drearily familiar and reminds of other cases where the standard practice is to blame the targeted nation this year and last year it's usually russia so you accuse russia you don't allow it to join your investigation you say you have evidence against russia and then you don't show anything because you can't show it you claim so there's a whole campaign the whole serial black p.r. involved in this and there's nothing new here and therefore no justice won't be available no there are two factors which are very important one is the investigators did not have access to the site and secondly. the investigators they haven't released all the information that they possess so
5:26 pm
therefore the holding back information we don't know who fired the missile and why was it we don't know that yet what was looking no so far this morning from moscow keep check of all the headlines on our site r.t. dot com and kevin owen for now saying thanks for watching more for me in thirty four minutes. to. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

there's a magic trick with this pen but this just gets a magnetic attraction and you know that it's just jumps right on to the anyone can do that just screws with your fingers. stating facts that may have entertained some people but not me they're not i that i have a headline here you know we always talk about legacy banking system new banking system when the legacy legacy legacy banking system which is gold that's their original individual economic sovereignty but here we have a story kind of mixing the two this is the one going backwards so big queen mining equipment maker kanan files for
