8:02 pm
ready than we have ever been before our military as you know has been greatly enhanced greatly enhanced will soon be at a level that it's never been before never been before powerful anywhere in the world a lot of things can happen. the summit was cancelled just hours after north korea said it had totally destroyed its nuclear test site you can see the moment it blew up the underground complex with more now here's our two samaritans. the white house released the official letter trump sent the can 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 south korea was one of the first countries to react to news and makes pressed quote deep regret over
8:03 pm
trump's decision the timing of the move was pretty significant coming just hours after north korea demolished its only nuclear testing site fulfilling yet another condition that you can pray to for the sake of its perfect place however some u.s. officials now doubt that it actually happened. was it sounds like he was among the few journalists were allowed to listen firsthand just because of the formulating the nuclear test site inches from being noble three hours of fools some of their use for nuclear testing one of them the north strong no treaty was used for the latest fall even nuclear test the other two would you agree with koreans told us that they had been ready to conduct a nuclear test and the movement to prevent dual slows the tubes it's inside one of the real way sure we know they're ready to make real concessions now being started to go itself was quite impressive the explosions looks like small eruptions of rule
8:04 pm
from under the ground so judging by that north korea i was keeping its end of the bargain but trump canceled the meeting anyway and even though the decision came from the u.s. side it seemed that the white house was pretty excited about it just ahead of the summit ridge. least a commemorative coin depicting the two leaders meeting to honor the peace talks which were seen world over as a positive development and trump didn't shy away from taking credit even saying that everyone said he deserved the nobel peace prize for it but towards the end of the letter that troops at the camp trump said he was looking forward to meeting with kim in the future but considering everything that's happened perhaps healing anxious think twice before trusting tromp again kim jong un has described trumps a decision to pull the plug on the summit as unexpected and very regrettable north korea's vice foreign minister has also said pyongyang is willing to give the u.s. time and opportunities to reconsider its position defense analyst ivan eland told
8:05 pm
us that he sees the move as in keeping with the u.s. president hardball approach to diplomacy given charms past behavior negotiation sometimes you know he's already said this but the out of the deal that you have to be prepared to walk away and the negotiations and the two sides north korea and the united states have been sort of in their rhetoric saying well ok you know we could pull out of this negotiation and not have this summit charges on out north koreans by actively saying he hasn't closed the door to his letter despite is threat of nuclear war with north korea it was a bit smoother this time and he did leave the door open for a future you get she asians and it could be a negotiating tactic by you know and that may be where it is it is not the first time washington has scrapped historic deals with north korea donald trump's donald quarter. has been looking into who might be able to gain from
8:06 pm
derailing any breakthroughs and why all this might sound familiar now when you hear what trump's predecessors 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 sound good but it collapsed a few years later the us promised north korea to 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 there'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 if you want to perhaps the u.s. sees the status quo of seeing north korea as the ultimate threat as being something
8:07 pm
beneficial to south korea is spending billions of dollars making bases and paying u.s. troops essentially to be there to ostensibly protect against. 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 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
8:08 pm
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 one out. 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 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
8:09 pm
they getting into an arms race and increasing in and as china is expanding its military operations it takes money out of the economic damages of the kind that the which we can is there a b. is a very complicated issue. who are essentially getting the short end of the stick this is something that must change countries as they begin to take the spread sheet. it will be to benefit the countries in the region from peace in northeast asia. to cancel zation of u.s. north korea summit was also discussed by vladimir putin and emmanuel micron at the st petersburg international economic forum on thursday. did everything do promised before even blew up the tunnels in the silos honest to
8:10 pm
sate 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 in this omen of the pincher process to continue. them and it would be sure to go was in st petersburg following a russian leaders' meeting with the french president first when a lot of our putin and emanuel 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 friends were going to get away with some traditional diplomatic language when they were going to talk to 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
8:11 pm
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 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 the presidents of russia talked about so much and brought up so many things all. give you a list syria iran ukraine cyber security the korean crisis sanctions multi-polar world freedom of speech and even football but i'll come back to that
8:12 pm
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 that computing syria peace talks platforms together plus they want to work hand in glove to save the uranium nuclear deal which is donald trump has just dumped also emanuel macron said it out loud russia's international role in numerous regions and conflicts needs to be praised to see the awful secret of it she said than some of you would much as you note i do acknowledge russia has increased its role in the international arena in particular the middle east several times to 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 than they were expecting to do in the first place and surely that was because
8:13 pm
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 a french twist also sturgeon steak and 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 lot of our putin who also prepared a book a a flowers or backwards wife bridget who according to the format of this official visit wasn't even supposed to come to russia but she did from the start of it to the very end one of the journalists. i asked him 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
8:14 pm
leader in the end i hope to travel here to support off football team to keep it from makes it to the quarter final definitely be here to supports it and i'm optimistic by nature and then we'll meet again with president putin the other v.i.p.'s on the guest list at the international economic forum are the japanese prime minister and china's vice president they will be joined by some of the world's top business leaders and at the heads of international economic organizations we will continue checking in live at the forum over the next few days and hearing from the delegates and getting updates from our news team in st petersburg. all right moscow has hit out at the international investigators looking into the mh seventeen tragedy claiming that their case against russia is based on flawed

8:21 pm
a russian military unit which tallies with the conclusions of the amateur research group telling gap in your hearkens examines the latest development and the russian reaction i'm a seventeen was a civilian airliner heading from amsterdam to call alone poor 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 the j i t the george 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
8:22 pm
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 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 and the russian defense ministry as you heard there was 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 burning cat a citizen journalism and a group using open source data of videos from you tube images from social media to
8:23 pm
build their version of events with a joint of us to give team themselves saying that many of the conclusions that belling cat had come to also fitted in with their version of events that we realize that the belling get in this to give already reached the same conclusions and publish them 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 so much of the evidence presented that was of course used as 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 belling can be laid off admin worker who made a name for himself by analyzing weapons used in the syrian conflict never been to
8:24 pm
syria. doesn't speak arabic and he conducts his 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 exports owner i had no knowledge beyond what i learned from arnold schwarzenegger and rambo. his tools of choice for uncovering global conspiracies for 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 him 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
8:25 pm
the developer of the photo analysis program which pelling can't use to claim moscow faked satellite images and image forensics experts aren't fans either what he's doing is nothing more than reading tea leaves every level analysis is a method used by hobbyists but fellow obsessives are ecstatic about scrutinizing palin counts analysis for his claim he's showing photos of two different book missile systems and 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 we've been in touch with. says the russian government and media have resorted to conspiracy theories false claims and fake evidence to cover up the downing of m.h. seventeen the group then went on to characterize its own investigation as thorough
8:26 pm
and accurate. that does it for me i'll be back in thirty four minutes with full q.'s stay with us. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on off and spearing dramatic developments only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. fifty years ago breaking and within to come together as a sleeping pill and just this is what i mean because our two of us would share this
8:27 pm
thought the scientific sweat terrible but not on known as short induction on football will be here not the war then will come up across europe victims are starting legal battles demanding at least some compensation. in two ways first will the physical damage itself as well that the constant reminder that the people who actually perpetrated this crime has never been able to justice and there has been a cup of. tea and a sign genetically modified organisms in the system change in the food industry in the one nine hundred ninety s. . i'm going to stop taking that and night and what does that have to.

most powerful nuclear weapon sites when the drugs began to take hold yes just as the us president donald trump announced this morning that he was waiving off the nuclear summit with north korea on the grounds of anger and hostility the associated press is reporting that fourteen u.s. airman have been caught operating an l.s.d. drug ring at the at the warren airport space because you know nothing mixes better than l.s.d. and access to nuclear weapons. even the late great hunter s. thompson would probably be horrified right about now impressed but ultimately horrified based on freedom of information act obtained documents the a.p. reports that the service members accused of involvement in the l.s.d. ring were from the ninetieth missile wing which operates one third of the four hundred minutemen three missiles that stand on alert twenty seven in underground silos scattered across the northern great plains and those boya documents tell
8:30 pm
a sordid tale of off duty l.s.d. cocaine and other drug use and sales and sales in two thousand and fifteen and two thousand and sixteen before being caught due to a slip up on social media which allowed military investigators to close in the group there's news of beer and loading on the nuclear missile base of course all comes as president donald trump announced today in a letter to north korean leader kim jong un that quote 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 with the nucular summit now cancelled in the guardians of our nuclear missiles getting busted bird mind altering substances i can practically hear that doomsday clock getting ready to take closer to midnight which is why we had better start watching the hawks.
