i. believe. that you know everything is being turned into a massive cloud of dust and not a correspondent with this is how north korea keeps its end of the bargain with us by destroying its nuclear tests. just hours after the demolition donald trump canceled a potentially historic u.s. north korea summit leaving pyongyang wondering if its peace efforts were all in vain a. french president mcraney recognizes russia's strong role on the world stage if he joins blind amir peretz knows the international economic forum and so petersburg our team there has all the details from the ongoing events.

and the billionaire philanthropist the long months slams the media he wants to rate journalists credibility critics say it's not going to work. to. a very warm welcome i'm neki aaron and this is r.t. international good to have you with us this hour now our top story the first pictures showing the destruction of north korea's only nuclear test site have been released our correspondent dawn of 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 bump a oh 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 off to north korea closed down the site donald trump announced he's canceling his upcoming summit with kim jong il and it was scheduled to take place in singapore in june were acting to the move north korea question 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 repeatedly mentioning the strength of the

american military a 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 ready 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 arch and this one comes courtesy of the trumpet ministration this will only 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 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 blob 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 meeting on june the two of thank you a very smart and gracious gesture and then when your rival east expects that you strike them down very hollywood. we would be if you would join hands. that you should have listened to. so looks like trump got what he wanted and then at the last minute he 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 were libya gives up and 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 term council the highly anticipated meeting a coin that was specially minted for the summit was offered at a discounted price by the white house gift shop but demand was so high at one point that it crashed his website if you're not satisfied though you can still get a refund. the cancellation of the u.s. north korea summit was also discussed by vladimir putin and the president of france emmanuel mccrum at this impeaches burg international economic forum on the day. kim jong un is part did everything he promised before even blew up the tunnels and the silence 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 in this ahman of the pincher and for that process to continue. the second day of the international forum is a busy one more announcements are expected from the russian and french leaders who want to dress it delegates place this afternoon. as more on the meeting between the two presidents first contacted 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.

machine 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 in 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 the. is powerless 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 awful 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 steak 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 and lot of my potent 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 why. the french 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 a drink go our tea. from some of the world's top business leaders to the heads of international economic organizations we discuss the hot topics of the economic agenda with the experts. the obviously an old guard on we can see the foundations of russia in germany's economic relations a solid even in the sanctions and with low oil and gas prices they've remained 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 they invest a lot here there's also many medium sized businesses and family firms. i think the sanctions are a product of the political processes that we found obviously the negotiation tactics that are taken to ensure compliance with also on all the basis as well as

there. are mechanisms to generate what they perceive to be serious that's up to the politicians and the regulators to decide those 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 facilitate trade facilitate consumer demand facilitate investment for the white. the fundamentals of business is about how you create the confidence this ability to enable that long long term view to be taken and the things that can support that would be welcomed from a business perspective i was faced over the past nine nine months to twelve months we've seen investment into your oil and gas from foreign direct investments we've worked with clients to continue to invest in agriculture is used to being a theme over the past at least two to three years we're also seeing investment into

pharmaceuticals and increasingly interest in some of the light industry in the localization. we will of course continue taking in line throughout the second day of the four i'm hearing from delegates and getting all the latest updates from the newspaper and some pages that. the b.b.c. is accused of breaching its own guidelines and wholly inaccurate reporting greater manchester police in northwest england slander britain's national broadcaster after it aired a documentary about the manchester arena terror attack the programme was shown last tuesday on the first anniversary of the bombing and is a missed suicide bomber detonated explosives as people were leaving the manchester

arena after a concert by the american pops 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 there were to develop. a 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 of the attack this is untrue and has no more until 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 were helping their there to. just secure the premises called police officers with guns pointed towards me had said was that the council to try and save lives was literally going. 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 manchester authorities 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 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 place is to try to close the perpetrators anybody

associated with them and i think the reason that the police from friendly 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 run between britain's main broadcaster and law enforcement was not. the effect a documentary remembering a tragic event intended to have the dealer to r.t. . fifteen people are reported injured in an explosion at an indian restaurant in the canadian province of ontario police in the city of mrs or go which is about thirty kilometers from toronto have released a photo of two suspects based they 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 in critical condition as others suffered minor wounds no motive has yet been established for the bombing paramedics and police briefed local media on the attack. see the call at approximately ten thirty pm this evening we responded to an explosion there in the area up here interior in eglinton in mississauga so far we have the plaza sealed off and we're investigating so we transported fifteen patients from the scene to the local area hospitals to three of those patients went down to trauma center which was. the type of injury that would be consistent with an explosion i don't have the specifics on

the exact injuries that were sustained by the patients but three of them were critical enough to require a trauma center still to come after the break a billionaire philanthropist a long musk launches a tirade against the media promising credibility checks for journalists who got the details for you coming up. seventy four design submissions. seven cells pilings. to judges. and eight hundred sixty nonstop days of work. a russian w.b. . and

a russian mob stuff. show you how. the crimean bridge was built. with mystic instruction living you need transport. that will help the cause of crimea. most all those while google more familiar with it a bit burchfield. thank you. thank you for. trying. to get us. welcome back best known for his rockets and electric cars tesla c.e.o. ilan musk has declared war on the media and an hour's long twitter tirade the billionaire entrepreneur called out journalists journalists for losing credibility sugarcoating lies and even blamed them for electing trump during his run to most

proposed remedy a new website to rank journalists credibility and issues that he explains. 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 asks her 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 truck the credibility score over trying over each journalist editor of the publication thinking of calling it proved 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 dude faught 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 bra. right a future but his latest proposal is perhaps a little 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 must get a bit make to the party we currently have a lot of sites that already do that takes notes for example and. and yet people still tend to spread fake news. whether it's for clicks or whether it's to satirize or even to change public opinion you're always going to have people who disagree with whatever the actual news is because it goes against the narrative that they want to. project.

with less than a month left and so russia hosts the fifo world cup all eleven cities are preparing for football fans from all walks of life have a ten thousand people from the u.k. are expected to visit russia for the football championship and with the events looming down collymore explores another country that's 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 i mean you're

a hero of mine because i'm a i'm an aston villa fan and although apply for the club all of the players that play from our great clubs i'm delighted one public joins us in russia this will only be the seventh and i was surprised that for some reason i expected colombia to be there more why do you think that they haven't consistently qualified for world cups i think it's a number of things. one has to do with obviously the project behind every. team or every qualification team that has played for colombia and then the level of competition in the american qualifiers you normally get. argentina brazil and you take those still in two places for granted and then you have another two and a half spots to fight for there were three world cups which are close to him he didn't qualify two thousand and two two thousand and six in germany to those and saying it could be zero one at those three will coach it makes it much more difficult for those young kids to cite but 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 i don't think that the team was as good as to shoot me in and then there was a lot of changes you fit in the federation there were changing coaches in between or in the middle of the qualifications so there was a lot of mistakes. all the mistakes that we make in those three qualification the neutral and those three were cops and they basically create a much stronger for the race around the understood what they needed to do in order for us to go back to the national. well there was all the latest headlines that they found we'll be back with more at the top of the hour with you that.

most people think to stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest raid in truth to stand whose business is just the dance the right questions and the right answer.
