in the human race to sign a service to the world free of g.m. and chrysler state would even be able to do as we passed the point of no return. to . the barracks. and now everything is being turned into a massive cloud of dust and r.t. correspondent with this is how north korea keeps its end of the bargain with the u.s. by destroying its nuclear test starting. just hours after the demolition from donald trump council of potentially historic us will do real damage leaving pyongyang wondering if its peace efforts work or invade. the branch president makes wrong recognizes russia's strong role on the world stage as he joins vladimir putin at the international economic forum in some pizzas but our team there has all the details on the ongoing give bad. publicity and billionaire philanthropist daylong

musk slams the media he wants to great journalists credibility critics say it's not going to work. to. a very warm welcome this is r.t. international broadcasting to you live from moscow and here our top story the first pictures showing the destruction of north korea's only nuclear test site have been released our correspondent goshdarn 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 to al 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 might come pale we are hearing from north koreans that this is putting the whole thing in jeopardy they don't know what to expect or 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 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 site donald trump announced he's canceling his upcoming summit with kim jong un it was scheduled to take place in singapore in june reacting to the move north korea questioned if it was right to have made efforts for the peace talks in the first place it insisted however that the intent was still there to solve the problems the us president did later explain why he decided to pull out were paid to leave mentioning the strength of the

american military. our 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 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 you can john 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 that 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 me. and you know two of thank you a very smart and gracious gesture and then when your rival least expects that you strike them down very hollywood. we would be if you would join us. you should have listened to you. so it looks like trump got what he wanted and then at the last minute he landed a sucker punch is 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 where they 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 trunk council the highly anticipated meeting a coin that was specially minted for the summit was offered and it discounted price by the white house gift shop but demand was so high it one point that it crashed it science if you know scientists find though you can still get every fund let's go live now it's here i'm told here professor jindal school of international affairs this is totally a thank you for joining us on r.t. international now north korea has made it very clear it's still very open to talks with the u.s. what you think the chances are of getting things back on track now. it's difficult to get because there is a mismatch of expectations on both sides i think trump was naive to start with by

believing that he could work his magic and his legendary negotiating skills so hard to try and extract maximum concessions from not school year which is complete denuclearization very favorable nuclear deal you can raise asian without giving much in return and he believed i think mistakenly that america had the upper hand and he could course and force the north koreans to buckle down and what has happened in the intermediate period since the talks were announced and now the failure is you know the realignment of the expectations because they're not koreans are very clear they don't want them to be a martyr they want to preserve the regime security which is essential for kim jong un and thirdly they want of pleased to you know given big could they want a kind of a subtle and long drawn out process and trump was looking for some kind of quick wit greed to be clear i won and then to use it in domestic politics in the u.s. so it does not work out that way but still i think the not koreans have given

a mature response saying that they are still hopeful that it will come back on track and trumpet also left a little bit of even saying that if not i'm doing quote them sometime in the future i hope restarted so i think it also shows in my view the divisions within the united states polity we have a lot of hawks and right wingers led by people like john bolton mike pence the ones who are there are koreans have criticised didn't want these talks to happen they want regime change and it shows that you know what the americans have to think in a more mature fashion not a more broad beating even a small country like north korea because you know in international diplomacy these things are in a delicate dislike you know holding a little baby a newborn baby and making the peace process go forward it cannot be simply like so i'm down kate i'm here and you know i need to win and i think they're not showing them a kind of the reality. saying that you don't think that we are so desperate if you think that we need sanctions relief you also need to resolve the nuclear problem

which are we have created in many ways so it's a given pig you know what you're saying is it has to be based on quid pro quo so i think the americans have to give some because as you've been mentioning the naacp koreans have given a few confidence building measures the release of those three american citizens their close their nuclear to star site and they have been also saying that you know we keep a modern tory i'm on on the solar nuclear power so i think those were confidence building measures were drunk was trying very you lack of one sided you know victory without giving anything in return i think americans have a real just you do really want stability in the korean peninsula they have to give some to get some. territory or professor at tyndall school of international affairs thank you for your time. the consolation of the u.s. north korea summit was also discussed by vladimir putin and the president of france the money on the crown of the same petersburg international economic forum on thursday. you know it was underscored to everything he promised before even blew up

the tunnels and the silos on his 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 in this ahman of the pincher and for that process to continue. and second day of the international economic forum is going to be a busy one more announcements are expected from the russian and french leaders he will address delegates later this afternoon trying to has more on the meeting between the two presidents the first contact of this year in front of the cameras is going to happen right here. for now if you were diplomatic robert ross 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 palace 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.

mission pretty don't show that to me and 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 state yes 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. powers 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 work 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 stake in venice in 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 the month again to support the french national team during the football world cup and here's what the for. leader replied in the end i hope to travel here to support our

football team if france makes it to the quarter final i'll definitely be here to support it i'm optimistic by nature and then we'll meet again with president putin believe the train go r t. attending the forum is in colborne c.e.o. of consulting company deloitte in russia who joins me now live thank you for joining us on the program mr colbert and now you are paying business is particularly german and french companies seem to be paying a high price for u.s. sanctions against russia what can they do and how likely is it that the restriction is going to be dropped anytime soon. although i think that we've seen and we continue to see that the european union is the leading trading partner for russia. that is something which has been the case and continues to be the case it's impossible for me to speculate in terms of how quickly that situation and in terms of the challenges you referred to will will stop. russia's planning on

imposing a counter sanctions against the us tragic thing bass going to play out and this is the right step to take. so i think from a business perspective you know businesses look for stability and predictability gives confidence about investment it gives you confidence about increasing employment anything causes business to take pause on any of those initiatives is not something that has been the business. we've noticed how some russian sectors have actually flourished under the sanctions aquaculture for one received a quite significant boost what can russia take from this. but i think as you say i agree culture has has grown significantly it's long been a sector that we know that the administration wanted to see growth and i think that the changes that we've seen. over the past have again created the confidence for investments created the confidence to take

a longer term view other sectors of the economy we have seen investment to support localization of production and that's something that i think will continue whether or not the current situation is in place i think the localization of production makes a lot of sense the fundamentals for the country remain as solid as they were before what do you think the kremlin should be focusing on to make russia a more attractive place for foreign businesses to work. so i think that you know as i say from the fundamentals there is a lot of opportunity we see that working not only within our own business but with with our clients to continue to take a long term view i think again the fundamentals of business is about how you create the confidence the stability to enable that longs and long term view to be taken and the things that can support that would be welcomed from

a business perspective so i think than saw of course the mainstay of the russian economy but what else is a paling for foreign investors interested in russia do you think. so i was faced over the past nine nine months to twelve months we've seen as you say investment into oil and gas from foreign direct investors not only into your oil and gas in terms of upstream but also in to oil field services we work with clients to continue to invest in agriculture as he said that's been a theme over the past at least two to three years we are also seeing investment into pharmaceuticals and increasingly interest in some of the light industry and localization. coming back to sanctions again they do remain to be the preferred mode of influence if you like to some western countries do you believe elbow's think they have the desired effect. yes. but i think it's

positive the country is back into economic growth that creates a lot of confidence i think it's fair to say that the level of growth would have been higher if we hadn't face these challenges and i think that when we again look to the long term view when we look at the aspiration set out in the president's address recently something that we support a lot of the economic reforms to support a longer term view and growth in the economy it's got to be good for business it's got to be good for employment it's got to be good for growth so we look to those and looking forward to hearing further at the forum. and called on c.e.o. of deloitte to russia do enjoy the forum and thank you for joining us on r.t. international today. well we're going to continue checking in live throughout the day for the second day of the forum hearing from delegates and getting all the latest updates from our news team in some petersburg so do stay tuned for that.

still to come on r.t. international a british police force accuses the b.b.c. of breaking its own guidelines after the broadcaster as a documentary about last year's manchester terror attack we've got that story and more coming up after the break stay with us. world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but there was one more question by the way it's going to be our coach.

guys i know you are nervous is a huge tournaments and a huge amount of pressure you have to be the center of the teacher probably would you. agree. you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get down there let's go. alone and doesn't want to and i'm really happy to join that for the two thousand and three and world cup in russia. there's a special one i was also appreciate me to just take the reader p.r.t. teams latest edition of the bigger certainly better jersey. welcome back the b.b.c. is accused of breaching its own guidelines and wholly inaccurate reporting greater

manchester police in north west england flom to britain's national broadcaster after would add a documentary about the manchester arena terror attack the programme was shown last tuesday on the first anniversary of the bombing and is a most suicide bomber detonated explosives as people were leaving the manchester arena after a concert by the american pop star ariana grande day twenty two people were killed and one hundred thirty nine injured it was the deadliest terror attack in britain since two thousand and five a day or two to report. a b.b.c. documentary about the devastating terror attack on the manchester rina 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 accurate reporting the strongly worded statement has even accused the b.b.c. of breaching its own guidelines the program at least by inference wrongly suggested

that g.m.p. officers and staff were held back on the night of attack this is untrue and he's no more into 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 come in but not really any of them will help and they were there to. just secure the premises. police officers with guns pointed towards me had said was that the council to try and save lives was literally going on when i just remember him going which are 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 one just authority saw how the film showed their lack of comments they were far from happy the reference at the end of the programme 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 when this is perhaps it may seem harsh but the priority for the put for the place is to try to close the perpetrators anybody associated with them i think the reason that the police disengaged from from the conversation the formation of this film was that they sensed the it was going to be prejudicial to the general good it's very easy to criticize with the wisdom of hindsight but there are actually doing it for the purposes of the public good and to try to keep our syphon arrest 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 route between britain's main broadcaster and law enforcement was not the effect a documentary remembering a tragic event intended to have the deal which r.t.

. fifteen people are reportedly 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 at around ten thirty pm local time. 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 some of the injured are said to be in critical conditions while others suffered minor wounds no motive has yet been established for the bombing paramedics and police briefed local media on the attack. received the call at approximately ten thirty pm this evening we responded to an explosion there in the area of your interior in eglinton in mississauga so far we have the plaza

entrepreneur must fare 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 an article and trick the credibility score over trying over each journalist editor 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 with 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 and got a lot of public supports but a big brush off from journalists the holier than thou hypocrisy of the big media

companies who lay claim to the truth but publish only enough to sugarcoat the lie is what is the public mood longer respect them most continue to slow transformation into a media baiting trim figure screaming irrationally about fake news hope it works of you do. what 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 you know arms next company read my professor but for journalists what a great idea that won't be gained immediately in extremely predictable ways iran must get deserved price for helping push humanity into a. right to future but his latest proposal is perhaps a little more backwards looking since the two thousand and sixteen u.s. presidential election there's been no shortage of ideas to banish the rights and
