thank. you. no everything is being turned into a massive. noisy corresponded with this is how north korea keeps its end of the bargain would be you where by destroying its nuclear test site. just hours after the demolition donald trump canceled a potentially historic u.s. north korea's summit leaving pyongyang wondering if it's a piece of what will live a. french president mccraw and recognizes russia's strong role on the world stage as he joins landed near putin at the international economic forum in st petersburg and our team there has all the details of the ongoing abet. and

billionaire philanthropist the long musk slams the media he wants to ready to journalists call it credibility critics say it's not going to work. nine am here in moscow and you're watching r.t. international with me aaron a very good morning to you now we start with our breaking news story fifteen people are reported injured in an explosion at an indian restaurant in the canadian province of ontario police in the city of mississauga have released a photo of two suspects they say detonated an improvised device as around ten thirty pm local time some of the injured are in a critical condition others suffered minor wounds. thank you.

two suspects attended the scene detonated an improvised explosive device within the restaurant several injured were taken to hospital and three in a critical condition were taken to a toronto trauma center this comes just about a month ago months since a van plowed into pedestrians in toronto killing ten people we're going to bring you more details on that this story as soon as it comes in. and the first pictures showing the destruction of north korea's only nuclear test site have been released our correspondent dan up was among the small pool of journalists invited to witness the facility being decommissioned. just minutes ago they were having dinner over there and now everything is being turned into a massive cloud of dust those barracks were used for living for the soldiers too old to locate soldiers and workers there well now north korea is showing that it is

destroying the infrastructure to behind me is northern tunnel number two that's where five nuclear tests five most recent nuclear tests have been conducted out of four tunnels around here this one got the most battering so basically this is north korea saying look we are ready to make the first step and this is the first step that we're making to show that we are acting in good faith we're destroying all the facilities we are being told that what has been done today has rendered this site absolutely useless now they're expecting more to come out from the united states and international community but everything here is happening amid the atmosphere of uncertainty the latest rhetoric by the u.s. president donald trump and he's a pale we are hearing from north koreans that this is putting the whole thing in jeopardy they don't know what to expect they are saying that well how can the united states be trusted after you run after they pulled out of the iran deal that

was negotiated four years they're saying how can the united states be trusted when they are saying that the libya model should be applied to north korea so right now again here we are being shown that they're being destroyed and north korea is saying that well the ball is in our somebody else's court now and we've done of reporting from north korea pyongyang at a nuclear test site r.t. however just hours after north korea closed down the side donald trump announced he's counseling is that coming sunday it with kim jong un it was said to take place in from the pool in june. military which is by far the most powerful anywhere in the world powerful anywhere in the world is ready if this is and has been greatly enhanced recently as you well know as you well 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 a level that it's never been before never been before powerful anywhere in the world a lot of things can happen just as the world was building up to a historic meeting between north korea and the us america pulls out of the historic summit so what happened well kim jong un released three american prisoners and he destroyed a nuclear test site but in trumps of you he's still too hostile 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 that's in response to pyongyang referring to the vice president of the united states as a political dummy that was after mike pence said that a possible libya situation might be the response if north korea and the u.s. can't make a deal diplomatic threats or a subtle march and this one comes courtesy of the trumpet ministration this will only and like the libyan model and if kim jong un doesn't make

a deal i think that's what denuclearization means and we have very much in mind the libya model now that model would take place if we don't make a deal most likely dropping out of a historic meeting is a pretty regretful decision but it's also an opportunity to flaunt your nuclear powers apparently you talk about your nuclear capabilities but i was so massive and powerful i pray to god they would never have to be used as shocking as trumps decision might be what was washington's plan all along was this perhaps all just a big bluff they certainly got off on the right foot with north korea north korea has announced they would use money to a nuclear test site this month ahead of the big summit. and you need two of thank you a very smart and gracious gesture and then when your rival least expects it you strike them down very hollywood. we would be on the if you would join us.

you sit and listen to. so looks like trump got what he wanted and then at the last minute he's landed a sucker punch what they call the old bait and switch in the business world it's pretty clear that there most of the people around president trump did not want this summit to take place and they were horrified at the thought that trump would sit across the table i die from kim jong un and agree to something that they may not have approved of so i think there's a lot of relief in washington that this has collapsed they want a libyan solution to north korea and we're libya gives up it where it can north korea gives up his weapons but then is vulnerable to regime change and i think that is the underlying reality on the american side that led to the collapse of this talk of the turn council the highly anticipated meeting

a coin that was specially minted for the summit dropped in price you cannot even get a refund polls showed wide support for trans peace efforts with north korea well people in new york for their focus on the president now pulling out of the meeting. i'm not happy if we see it we say we're going to have a meeting we should have to meet i'm surprised he did it i was expecting north korea to cancel. but i don't think anything would have happened i would prefer to have seen a better preparation for the beating and there wasn't that kind of preparation and they were really going for the endpoint you need a lot more diplomacy before you do i think it's a very sad thing i think good for me to talk. cancellation of the u.s. north korea summit was also discussed by vladimir putin undermining mccrone at the same petersburg international economic forum on thursday. on his part did everything he promised before even blew up the tunnels and the files on his tests

eight 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 disarmament of the pincher process to continue for the p.d. people in the second day of the international economic forum looks set to be a busy one more announcements are expected from the russian and french leaders who will address the delegates later this afternoon r.t. they are trying to has more on the meeting between the two leaders. i guess everyone in this big crowd of journalists that you can see behind my shoulder saw how emanuel macron was holding hands with donald trump just a short while ago when they met and they remember all the awkward moments that made people talk about their bromance well today all these people gathered here on the balcony of lattimer putin st petersburg resident to see whether

a fraction of that chemistry may happen between the leaders of france and russia today the first contact of this year in front of the cameras is going to happen right here. for now if you were diplomatic small none of that tapping on the shoulder but a few smiles were visible out there. now that the presidents are busy talking inside that house it's all about what they'll choose to say to the journalists in a few hours. and now the press conference begins in this room. with people who machine pretty don't have that immediate that was when emanuel macron surprised the people in the room first but then his speech went on to resemble somewhat of a love letter to russia he spoke for about four times longer than vladimir putin and also showed off his affection for some of the big names in russian literature

like solzhenitsyn or the besides this mr macron spoke of the importance to commemorate the victims and the sufferings of the leningrad walk a that was one of the most tragic events of the second world war which happened here in st petersburg but it wasn't just about how many nice things the french president said about russia and this palace quite surprisingly again one billion worth of business deals were inked they talked about so much. and brought up so many things syria iran ukraine cyber threats the korean crisis sanctions multi-polar world freedom of speech and even football but i'll come back to that later among other things the two leaders agreed to come up with a mechanism to bring the conflict in syria peace talks platforms together to seatle

off a secret i do acknowledge russia has increased its role in the international arena in particular the middle east the newly gained role of leader comes with responsibilities and i'm well aware of the role russia plays resolving various international conflicts the french and russian leaders were two hours late for their rendezvous with the journalists obviously that was because of this massive list of things they wanted to cover but also i guess that was due to the lavishness of their dinner and the tastiness of it i just want to tell you about what was on their menu pancakes with a cavalier as well as a crab starter then a traditional russian soup with a french twist surgeon's steak in venison was the main course and that was all topped off with chocolate cake for dessert now i just want to quickly go back to the first seconds of the summit when emmanuel macron was leaving his limo lot of

even hugged him and also he prepared a bucket of flowers for his wife bridget from the very start to the very end at half past eleven one of the russian journalists decided to turn away from politics and asked mr macron whether he was willing to come to russia and a month again to support the french national team during the football world cup and here's what the french leader replied in the end i hope to travel here to support our football team from makes it to the quarter final definitely be here to. that's it i'm optimistic by nature and then we'll meet again with president putin illy have a drink go our tea. from some of the world's top business leaders to the heads of international economic organizations we discussed the hot topics of the economic agenda with the ex. the obviously an old guard on we can see the foundations of russia and germany's economic relations are solid even

in the sanctions and we lower oil and gas prices they remain firm in two thousand and seventeen we had record high german private investment in russia which totaled one point six billion euros and i'm not only talking about the huge car manufacturers that invest a lot here but also many medium sized businesses and family firms. i think the sanctions are a product of the political prophecy that we have an obviously the negotiation tactics that are taken to ensure compliance with rules of will basis is well and that the mechanisms of love generate what they perceive to be here. so for the politicians and the regulators to decide things and as i said earlier it's more important for the business community to actually be able to react as best they can to them in the client but also to take advantage where there is opportunity for them to put so it's a treat facilitate the consumer demand facilitating the flow in the life so i think

there's going to be it in fact and we have to differentiate it from the reality versus the perception and i think that's where organizations and countries knew that we were very good job of making sure the facts are what the sanctions mean and don't mean it's very important and then what the perception is that because the perception will overcome about an attack it's the perception of being listened to too much you don't like the economic growth that it's impossible so those things are very important and it becomes the responsibility of the country and the business community actually make sure that we understand that first person. well we will continue checking in live throughout the second day of the forum hearing from delegates and getting all the latest updates one news team in st petersburg so stay tuned for that.

the b.b.c. is accused of breaching its own guidelines on wholly inaccurate reporting greater manchester police in northwest england slammed britain's national broadcaster after it as a documentary about the manchester a rain a terror attack the programme was shown last tuesday on the first anniversary of the bombing and his image. through slide bomber detonated explosives as people were leaving the manchester arena after a concert by ariana grande day twenty two people were killed and one hundred thirty nine injured was the deadliest terror attack in britain since two thousand and five if you were to report. the b.b.c. documentary about the devastating terror attack on the manchester arena has been praised for showing the courageousness of the survivors but the broadcasters inside has left the u.k. police furious greater manchester police chief has issued an open letter condemning

what he calls wholly inaccurate reporting the strongly worded statement has even accused the b.b.c. of breaching its own guidelines the programme at least by inference wrongly suggested that g.m.p. officers and staff were held back on the night if you took this is untrue and is no more into the attack on g.m.p. police officers who as the actual footage showed bravely in response to this horrific attack the police did not specify exactly which fragments of the b.b.c. film they believe misrepresented their response on the night of the tragedy however the documentary does contain a lot of interviews with victims who were left frustrated by the police in action here very. very large force of policeman command but not really any of them will help and they're there to. just secure the premises called police officers with guns pointed towards me had i said was at the concert to try and save lives literally going on when. i could see was in their decision of course airing

criticism isn't an issue as long as manchester police can give their side of the story the catch is they can't do that during an active investigation the b.b.c. production team were made aware of this but when just authorities saw how the film showed their lack of comments they were. happy the reference at the end of the program the g.m.p. refused to cooperate is wholly misleading and was focused only on creating journalistic drama the b.b.c. insists that they did report on the situation on manchester police accurately and say that the caption on the screen only said greater manchester police declined to take part in this film which they say is factually accurate the b.b.c. actually say that it is the chief constables letter that is accurate defending their decision to include those criticisms claiming that they fully adhere to the b.b.c. editorial guidelines this was

a responsible accurate and thoughtful documentary which was an important piece of public service broadcasting however as this very public disagreement unfolds according to one former police officer there's good reason for g.m. piece response that this is perhaps it may seem harsh but the priority for the put for the police is to try to close the perpetrators anybody associated with them and i think the reason that the police disengaged from the conversation the formation of this film was a sense that was going to be prejudicial to the general good it's very easy to criticize the wisdom of hindsight but there are actually doing it you know for the purposes of the public good and to try to keep. people who are doing dangerous horrible things with the battle over who's right and who's wrong likely to continue it's certain that the run between britain's main broadcaster and law enforcement

was not the effect a documentary remembering a tragic event intended to have. billionaire philanthropist the long mask launches a tirade against the media promising credibility tech check for journalists but details for you after the break. but it would kind of go into accepting you need a declaration of independence that's what happened you push away that is the beginning and the nightmare that effect in the fall of. seventy four design submissions. seven thousand islands. to join judges. and eight hundred sixty nonstop days of the.

russian w.b. a champion of it. and a russian mobster. show you how. the crimean bridge was built. witnessed a construction living you need to transport arteries that will help the heart of crimea. after what all those you know what google more familiar it before it's clear. welcome back now by snowden for his rockets and electric cars tesla c.e.o. long must cast a cloud wall on the media and an hour's long twitter tirade the billionaire entrepreneur cool down journalists for losing credibility sugarcoating allies and

even blames them for electing trump during his run to most proposed a remedy a new website to rank journalists credibility and the issues that the explaining. fed up with investigative journalist targeting you and your company seen an upset in article that's head sniff well now might be your chance to fire back and billionaire tech entrepreneur masks here to help he's turning the tables after having a guts full of negative press going to create a site where the public could rate the call truth of the article and trick the credibility score of the trial of each journalist editor to publication thinking of calling it profit if the name sounds a bit familiar means truth in russian and it was the title of the russian communist party's official newspaper for much of the twentieth century why was ilan musk want to take a page from the soviet playbook or kremlin troll something to do with it no idea so

moving on during his twitter meltdown the tesla chief told his followers to see what they made of his idea to develop a media rating site got a lot of public supports but a big brush off from journalists big media companies who laid claim to the truth but publish only enough to sugarcoat the lie is what is the public mood longer respect them must continue to slow transformation into a media baiting trim fashionable fake news hope it works in about fake news hope it works of you do so it should say that when you try and anyone criticizes the media the media shrieks you're just like trump why do you think he got elected in the first place because no one believes you anymore you lost your credibility a long time ago your next company rate my professor but for journalists what

a great idea that won't be gained immediately in extremely predictable ways iran must get deserved price fantasy into a brighter future and i see into a brighter future but his latest. hosel is perhaps a little more backwards looking since their two thousand and sixteen u.s. presidential election there's been no shortage of ideas to banish the rates and rate less news outlets is probably the only trend in which musk is a bit late to the party. with less than a month left until russia hosts the fee for world cup or eleven cities are preparing for football funds from all walks of life over ten thousand people from the u.k. are expected to visit russia for the football championship and would be event looming artie's it's done collymore explores another country is taking part colombia. this week the stan collymore show comes to another one of the thirty two nations to

qualify for the faith woke up in russia welcome to columbia. i'm delighted to be joined by a man i wanted to catch up with in america in colombia birmingham and a hero of mine because i'm a i'm an aston villa fan and although i apply for the club all of the players that play from our great clubs i'm delighted when public joins us in russia this will only be the seventh and i was surprised that i up for some reason i expected colombia to be there more why do you think they haven't consistently qualified for world cups i think it's a number of things that stand. one has to do with obviously the project behind every. team or every qualification team that has played for colombia then the

level of competition in the american qualifiers you normally get argentina brazil and you take those two places for granted and then you have another two and a half spots to fight for the last three world cups which caused columbia didn't qualify two thousand and two two thousand and six injuring two thousand and exclude one at those three world cups it makes it much more difficult for those young kids to say oh i want to aspire to do this on the world stage i mean there was a combination of a lot of things for my point of view nothing and i don't think that the team was as good as it should have been and then there was a lot of changes even in the federation there were changing coaches in between or in the middle of the qualifications so there was a lot of mistakes and all the mistakes that we made in those three qualification a neutral. those three were cops and they basically create a much stronger for the race you understood what they needed to do know to for us to go back to the national.
