another day another diplomatic one eighty from donald trump now he says that a story summit with north korea might be back on after all despite pulling out shortly after pyongyang yesterday raised its nuclear site also ahead. and now everything is being turned into a massive cloud of dust for those just talking about r.t. where this is north korea is keeping its end of the bargain with the u.s. but a strong it's nuclear test site more pictures and report back about that in other news tonight the world's red hot topics of north korea and those u.s. sanctions are discussed on stage by vladimir putin emmanuel micron's and other

world leaders this afternoon at the same petersburg international economic forum we'll take you there. and it's real supreme court upholds the use of lethal military force against palestinians during this month's deadly clashes along the gaza border. a good evening it's eight pm friday night this is art international live from moscow with me kevin owen here for next half hour will you stay with me for a bit to first than donald trump is now hinting that a meeting with kim jong un could still take place sharp u. turn coming less than twenty four hours after the u.s. president called off the summit with the north korean leader that was june in singapore. we'll see what happens with. regard to that now they very much want to do it we are going to see what.

everybody plays you know that you know that better than anybody. let's go to kind of move to new york is typical to keep track of this is that when most of the twenty four hours ago you could have to see this new dizzying change of mind or maybe there's more going on down the scenes what you'll take on it well the world continues to come to terms with donald trump's unpredictability and just a day after he announced of the historic summit in which he would meet with kim jong un in singapore was called off was canceled scrapped finished now he seems to be hinting that it may be back on the table so what changed his mind once again no one can know for sure now some people are speculating it could have been the recent statement from north korea which they said they'd be willing to meet with the united states leader any time any place now it's interesting to note the reason

people are speculating it could have been the statement is seems to be rather sensitive to north korea's statements the reason that he gave for canceling the meeting was their statement about the vice president of the united states just recently let's take a listen 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. now north korea had jumped on mike pence the vice president of the united states and called him a political dummy and that was after he had invoked libya and the toppling of the libyan government in two thousand and eleven as a possible outcome or strategy for the talks that certainly did not sit well with the leaders of the democratic people's republic of korea however in addition to statements north korea has actually released three american prisoners and they've actually gone as far as to blow up their only nuclear test site however if one

listens to the words of donald trump you would think that i guess words speak louder than actions they may have taken some actions but i guess their words were what he called hostile and he didn't want to have the meeting but some people are looking on this and saying that maybe something deeper is going on beneath the surface here perhaps this is what you might call a psychological tactic of attrition donald trump did after all right the art of the deal and it seems like he might be playing hardball in the lead up to a potential meeting or no potential meeting with north korea so everyone is watching they want to see what happens next you know people are anticipating the possibility of a historic meeting that will be the first time that a u.s. president has met with an acknowledged leader of the democratic people's republic of korea located in the northern part of the korean peninsula so people are wondering what will happen next all eyes are on the situation things seem to be quite in flux a lot of a lot of unpredictability on the part of the president of united states people wonder what the ultimate outcome will be but it seems like only donald trump really

knows what's going to happen next yes such a lot riding on it too if so many people seem to still make it in those those celebrating recoils in the selling like hotcakes would you believe over in new york things from them open the soap the first pictures showing the destruction of north korea's only nuclear tests have been released now of corespondent one of the very few invited alone to witness it he goes down off was invited to witness the facility being commissioned these are pictures from him check this. just minutes ago the birthing center 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 these 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 his aides and 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 they're 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. . what a track it was to get there to nurse go live to independent china especially as andrew learn hey thanks for your time what do you make of this is here in london today with the london hats on and it's on it's off it's on again everyone's playing games what is north korea to make of trumps all in all fair or is there more to it than the scenes. well it's as donna trying was saying that i would praise game but nobody countries do not just play games for the sake of doing so and then to understand a situation because to look at imam mix both career what north korea warms is

viable based on its ability to possession of nuclear weapons and the long distance delivery systems now the north korean of the so many tests has acquired the capability and it's now showing the willingness to really go for a kind of peace treaty and non-aggression treaty with the united states sort of the regime so why will can be a short but then for the united states that the man in the beginning that the north koreans would give up everything giving up its insurance policy even before talking this of course this is nonsense no country in both korea would not be able to do this either is or was just giving up is insurance policy that means exposing itself to order coercion and losing also ridge so i think that this is the only thing that can happen is a kind of graduated mutual confidence where they were you know it was you take one step i take another and you take

a further step i take another and then both these kind of steps for stabilization in the cries haitian has got to be guaranteed by third parties powerful third parties like china or you can russia and then that could only happen otherwise just so president tram's original formula that the north koreans would give up everything before they start talking is of course not on and that's why. kim was saying well you want me to do that well i'm going to walk out of the deal now that the north koreans are destroying some one of the sites showing all of p.t. and of course the donald trump wants this kind of. at least a breakthrough for his mid-term elections. and so both sides showing willingness. was something some sort of a deal saw her and saying that's why this was happening well yeah so though it seems so often initially look to the letter for us there was that caveat at the end you know we're open to listening if you still want to do it all rather groat it's

like a rather grotesque dance isn't it and maybe as you say this could all be expected both sides want to save face both sides will get the most out of it they possibly can and maybe everyone is being naive to think it would all be sorted out in just one meeting then you're. well i think that at the beginning i think that the dollar trial was a little bit naive thinking that just by. using coercion and the north koreans would just give in and he thought that there was just be a walkover or this is not going to happen of course and then all his better uniform advisors were same way you can't do something like that going to just so from the very start that you think that you can achieve that so i think that his but it wise and that's why he even wrote a letter only yesterday saying that well i'm going to cancel the deal but then on the north koreans announce the showing. of feed these and it would be very difficult for the of for donald trump to say well even if you're doing that i don't

want this anymore that would be very bad for his mid-term election because if he wants something to show for. what could be perceived as a leader for his return elections and to go down into history as someone as a president that can solve this in intractable problem so i think that both sides. have half a willingness to come to the deal but then the deal must be done the kind of one size fits all formula it's got to be it's got to be built on graduate it. a ladder of mutual trust step by step and ideally guaranteed by a third party all right andrew thanks for your thoughts independent china specialist looking on there we'll continue to follow the twists and turns the story of you back of more comments. elsewhere israel supreme court rejected a petition by human rights groups against the use of lethal military force against palestinian protesters in garza earlier this month in the ruling judges also

rejected the stray sions of being peaceful calling palestinians part of an armed conflict is our middle east correspondent paula. well the supreme court has sided with the israeli military and blamed her most it says that israel is involved in a longstanding conflict with the militant group and as such is authorized to use lethal force now this has outraged human rights groups one of which tweeted that judges missed an opportunity to prevent further killings and injuries the israeli supreme court's completely ignored the broad factual basis presented to it by the petitioners which includes multiple testimonies of wounded and reports of international organizations involved in documenting the killing and wounding of on protesters in gaza at least sixty two palestinians were killed in one day of violence and several hundreds were injured the the the. good of course the it was

the alright the know what i saw. the call. the. the adding fuel to the fires the fact that what has now emerged online are several videos that show israeli soldiers cheering as they fire. on. to the government. now human rights groups are not the only ones who are mad at israel the united

nations the european union france and germany have all cord for an independent investigation into israel's. use of force against what they say what an armed protesters we use this kind of decision is why the is read article system this is not the first time to be on the side of the military system against the civilians we have this many times and we are now we're we have very serious concerns about the lives of the severely you more and more. this is and kind of encouragement in greenlighted the israeli snipers shooting shooting towards the civilians not only shooting also killing so this is the time that the international community in order to be on the side of the palestinian civilians against such a good a violation is committed by the israeli court and israeli military. the world's hot button topics a bit as fresh today on stage at the same petersburg economic forum where president

putin was joined by other major leaders from france japan and china as well as the head of the i.m.f. to check in with r.t. they patrol increase their covers all the three day. aliah lott said today on stage today wasn't there where do we start first and take us through day two skylight. kevin hello friday's congress hall event was precious because rank one and in one case rang to politicians from such a global powerhouse as france russia china and japan talked about everything there is to worry about on an international politics today and that was happening not behind closed doors now hot and cold donald trump at some point decides to say no to his talks with kim john thune or the iranian nuclear deal and there you have it thanks to the st petersburg international economic forum the likes of emmanuel

macron or putin are sitting shoulder to shoulder and sharing their thoughts on that with everyone now here's an observation all speakers decided not to bash donald trump in the first place or came down on for the possible rail moment of their talks and expressed hopes that the summit preparations can go back on track the vice president of china even made it clear that his country won't allow war on the korean peninsula. but i'm not trying to hope for peace and stability on the korean peninsula under no circumstances should we allow go to break out in the region that's why we should promote the process of demilitarization to take i asked for the summit between north korea and the u.s. i think we have to do everything to make this summit happen so that many issues can be resolved. speaking of iran we were once again reassured that pretty much the entire international community apart from

the u.s. and israel wants the nuclear agreement to hold. with you and with us we do it sure that we have to do everything possible to save the deal the us president hasn't closed the doors a negotiation he says he's dissatisfied with a number of issues in the deal but he doesn't exclude talks with iran it's a two way road the door must remain open i think not all is lost. trump has lost the battle no one followed his decisions and now we have to make good on fulfilling our obligations. while also there were a few surprising things said for example emanuel macron openly admitted that he believes the only reason donald trump decided to leave the nuclear agreement was because it was hammered out under the administration of his predecessor now of lattimer putin in his turn said that the us president didn't lose from the exit

rather mr putin says he won in a sense that donald trump delivered on his election promises now one of the first words that comes up on your mind when you hear countries like iran russia and north korea is sanctions and the moderator of the panel discussion couldn't help mentioning that some of the people from the front row war under u.s. sanctions currently. in wanted to allow a break on what's going on around the world with this particular punishment tactic and so he did. it suits of the situation is that everyone plays football but the use the rules of judo that's chaos that's where we're heading to sanction bludgeon is not only being used on russia. well today so many guests most important the v.i.p.'s praise the event for the opportunity to come together and try and find common ground in with this kind of positive laid back

atmosphere i guess we should have expected some humor and we did get it in particular from the russian president. do you have any advice of the world in terms of how to deal with president trump because you were somebody who was. associated with the election of president term but a provocator you have got nothing to do with chance election campaign and you are not a natural. i believe in french foreign policy that's based on independents there are things that really tires very closely to the u.s. like foreign security. emanuel said that europe and the u.s. have mutual obligations in europe depends on the us in the room of security but you don't have to worry about that it will help. to provide security. so day to has officially wrapped up cabin but still more is to come on saturday

good will be back to full latest on things from there and some papers. and as soon as it was same will continue to check in live on the east serve day almost second the third day of the forum as it wraps hearing from delegates and getting more updates from our team in some papers but. here in moore the big news tonight the u.s. state department is calling on russia to admit that it was behind the downing of flight m.h. seventeen over eastern ukraine in twenty fourteen it's off a strain and the netherlands directly accused russia of involvement despite the fact the investigation is still ongoing russia's foreign minister has already

discussed the move with his dutch counterpart saying there's no evidence to pin the blame on moscow. i spoke to the dutch foreign minister he said that they have almost no doubts that the book came from russia i asked what evidence prove that but he didn't give me any facts he told me they don't want russia to help the investigation which he explained with some baseless suspicions if we look to that statement from the netherlands and australia that what they've said is that they hold russia legally responsible for the deaths of the two hundred ninety eight people who were on board malaysian airlines flight m h seventeen on its way from amsterdam to kuala lumpur when it was shot down when it went down over eastern ukraine an area that was. an area of particularly fierce fighting at the time in the conflict that is ongoing there this was back in july of twenty fourteen australia in the netherlands have made that decision just stars the joint investigation team have released their latest findings so the j.i.t.

they put forward the latest information they had on thursday in the netherlands and in that report they did say this they had no clear well perpetrator or clear reason why the aircraft was targeted in the first place. the questions everyone wants answered from day one are why was flight m h seventeen should down and who was responsible for this appalling act i can't give you the answers to these specific questions today well from the russian side the ministry of defense issued a lengthy rebuttal to the findings that. sent out on thursday the russian ministry of defense saying that it couldn't have been a russian missile because the missile casing that they show was part of the is that one of the main parts of evidence from the joint investigation team that's a type of missile yelled that was made in the moscow region back in one thousand nine hundred six and hasn't been in russia's military arsenal since twenty eleven

these things have a fifteen year shelf life that can be x. . tended by an extra ten years to the maximum but anything built in eighty six in russia's arsenal would have been destroyed back in twenty eleven they did go on to say that ukraine did have these things in their arsenal the russian ministry of defense also critical of the joint investigative teams findings bashing the fact that a lot of it seem to be based on pictures from social media 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 the head of the joint investigation team said that his investigation was entering its final stages however the more information we get from the charity the more questions seem to be thrown up. the.

investigators concluded the aircraft was hit by a missile from a russian made. the manufacturer's own tests show the missile type used was decommissioned by the russian military years ago. russian investigators claim the missile was fired from a ukrainian held area moscow sent radar data to the netherlands production investigators say that information was in a format they couldn't analyze. the joint investigation team includes the netherlands belgium australia malaysia and ukraine. the body cooperates with other states but russia's only been allowed limited involvement. to blame russia for the tragedy however the final report does not directly blame russia for the crash.

investigators concluded the book was driven in from russia and returned across the border after the moral. that was based on intercepted telephone conversations witness statements photographs and videos posted on social media but the accuracy of such evidence remains questionable. several mainstream media outlets and prominent politicians also didn't hesitate to pin the blame on russia even before the investigation reached any conclusions many reports used questionable evidence from amateur investigators like belling cat who used social networks and open internet sources to try and decipher what happened. to. some of the four football supporters in kiev first of its champions league final of receive less than a warm welcome we can report tonight ukrainian police grabbed the handcuffed and bloodied fan on thursday apparently when attacked by masked hooligans in the

capital with more. what we're seeing is that of course thousands of little four founds who've made their way to kiev in order to watch that champions league final to be held for more evening and a number of them were enjoying dinner in the evening last night when they were set upon and actually we can see from some of the tweets of a journalist who was there at the site who describes those attackers as being masked men maybe about twenty of them wearing by the clubbers and setting upon these liverpool fans who were just having dinner in a restaurant like a pack of dogs the journalist said that the attack was completely unprovoked those phones just minding their own business ahead of that big game tomorrow evening and saying that one of the victims was a fifty year old man who suffered cuts and bruises saying that all of the phones were in the vicinity of the liverpool fans that is to run away and we can also hear

from some of the eyewitnesses themselves who saw what happened. they came as i was like a pack of dogs it just kept coming it was terrifying i didn't come here for this i came to watch the football we were just having dinner they just stormed the place they were throwing glasses and tables it was terrifying we did nothing wrong now during the course of the run of the little fourteen to that final this isn't the first time liverpool fans have been attacked one man was left in a critical condition in hospital when italian fans from roma assaulted and beat up a number of liverpool fans in liverpool itself when the liverpool fans then went for the return game in rome that was heavy security now this incident hasn't stopped at least one media outlet for blaming russia even though pictures a merge showing the attackers two of the attackers arrested the rest of them fled being hugh craney in t. shirts belonging to a key football team the paper that's

a paper in spain associated to the city of madrid they said it was. of suspected russian origin and many people on twitter quick to correct them and saying that these are well known football hooligans or well known football firm belonging to a ukrainian team and so it seems that with the world cup coming up the ante russia campaign or trying to lay the blame where possible on russia just wants to continue . he's riley reporting that it's twenty eight house and his prostate o'clock here in moscow is a quick reminder you can keep across all the. homes again that of the u.s. north korea negotiations looks like there may be some light at the tunnel there again maybe check it will keep abreast of all the headlines at home for now it's cover now in here saying thanks for watching this bulleted i'll be back with more in thirty minutes time and we've got more great programs lined up for you after this break.

with kind of cool and to accept if you need to. defend that's what's up and push away that's just the beginning and the nightmare of the trio of how faked in the pool. i am a staunch unethically much if i do business in the system kids in the field industry in the one nine hundred ninety s. . dot com is taking that i might say and what does that have to do. that i. guess. i just almost sort of.

like is a chemical plant east kilby. was or was like it is. described in the bronze of. possible amnesia. the kind of her future scientists truth to see in context really well on the human race to science or if it's too free of g.m.'s in christ. state which would even be able to see if we passed the points of never sin. thanks greetings and salutations we were some for wyoming on the edge of the world's most powerful nuclear weapon sites when the drugs began to take hold.
