that's the only. everybody. another day another diplomatic one eighty from donald trump now he says that historic summit with north korea might be back on after all despite pulling out yesterday shortly after raised its nuclear sites open away. and now everything is being turned into a massive cloud of dust he was there to witness how north korea is keeping the good with the u.s. . the world's red hot topics of randall's korea and u.s. sanctions all discussed on stage life by vladimir putin and by the micron and other world leaders of the simply international economic form of the report from the and israel supreme court upholds the use of lethal military force against palestinians

through this month's deadly clashes along the gaza border. this is out international law with me kevin owen here in moscow tonight just after nine pm first the donald trump now in saying that a meeting with kim jong un could still take place not show up you to come in less than twenty four hours after the u.s. president called off the summit with the north korean leader that we shared jewels for june in singapore will see what i. want. everybody to know. that. the world continues to to come. terms with donald trump's unpredictability and just

a day after he announced that the historic summit in which he would meet with kim jong un in singapore was called off now he seems to be hinting that it may be back on the table so what changed his mind once again what appears to have been a statement made by north korea in which they said they were still open to meeting and sitting down with the united states at any time now seems particularly sensitive to these statements from north korea his previous decision to cancel the summit was also based on a statement from north korea this is donald trump 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 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 you know 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 it seems that for donald trump words speak louder than actions 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 a hardball in the lead up to a potential meeting or no potential meeting with north korea 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 who knows what do you suspect least of all donald trump knows what he's up to i mean this is somebody who jumps into the main thing first of all quick of the nefarious up a drawing there is no policy behind it this is somebody who is into making

headlines and appeasing the base and yesterday that needs to not go down well with his base supporters but he had pulled out of this maze thing he'd always seen it as a chance to make peace on the korean peninsula which would be breaking history and i think he saw us that he saw the role of dissolving what we're seeing in the huge naive would see in the current american administration when it comes to foreign policy making the north koreans they would want these talks they want to hold they close they definitely want to sit down the table but they want to see what the americans beyond donald trump have to offer whether the sanctions can be lifted whether it brings them closer to the global community. so the first pictures showing the destruction of north korea's only nuclear test site have been released our correspondent ego's done off was among the small pool of journalists invited along to witness directly that facility being decommissioned this is what he sent back. yes minnesota 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 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 in 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 while 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. . hot button topics were thrust out here live on stage at the same pages but 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 try and get some of the highlights of the day. friday's main congress hall event was truly precious in a sense that rank one and in one case rank to politicians from such important global power houses as france russia japan and china talked about everything there is to worry about in international politics today not behind closed doors at some point donald trump who's hot and cold decides to say no to his talks with kim and decides to ditch the arrayed nuclear deal and there you have it thanks to the st petersburg international economic forum the likes of emmanuel macron and a lot of our potent are sitting shoulder to shoulder and sharing their thoughts about it with everyone here's an observation all speakers decided not to bash donald trump in the first place or came down on for the possible to 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. 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 use to ask 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 once the nuclear agreement to hold and we're going to do it should that we have to do everything possible to save the deal the u.s. 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 you know trump has lost the battle. no one followed his decisions and then we have to make good on fulfilling our obligations as you all 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 previous us are now of lattimer proven 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 you couldn't help to mentioning that some of the people from the front row wore under u.s.

sanctions currently vladimir putin wanted to a lab or a on what's going on around the world with this particular punishment tactic and so he did glove 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. broad day one and day two so many guests most importantly divvy i play excuse ways in st petersburg where the opportunity to come together and try to find a common ground in these kind of positive and laid back vibes i guess we should have expected some humor so there's a couple of moments when the audience did start to giggle but 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 but i work a provocator i've got nothing to do with trump's election campaign and you are not

a national provoke a. decision 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 u.s. in the realm of security but you don't have to worry about that and it will help. you provide security. they too has officially wrapped up but still there is more to come on saturday indeed the international economic forum is welcome fifteen thousand participants from seventy two countries the organizers really happy there are more than a thousand companies and organizations represented along with almost two hundred fifty c o show and the watch an across our nearly four thousand journalists all covering developments and petersburg we caught up with one delegate for moves investing in russia's aerospace industry. or russia is an aerospace the that it has

developed so many different types of platforms whether it was fixed wing or right that he wing and everybody model your project what it was is expect to aerospace and form a very exciting excitement with respect to an aerospace manufacturers but also for me to disappear and over for service providers we have the joint aerospace working as much as we have other working teams that are looking for opportunities of course collaboration but also across aggressiveness not just with respect to investments coming into russia but also investments that could come into the united arab emirates and we believe that our ritual benefits for both sides of the question and we're looking forward to engaging further in finding those opportunities that could think positive contributions or returns to both of our societies. i.

israel supreme court has 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 demonstrations have been peaceful calling palestinians part of an armed conflict here's our middle east correspondent paula slayer. while the supreme court has sided with the israeli military and blamed her mass 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 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 a. unarmed protesters in gaza at least sixty two palestinians were killed in one

day of violence and several hundreds were injured the the. only one to do it was not of course the right. or. are. there. the adding fuel to the fire is the fact that what has now emerged online are several videos that show israeli soldiers cheering as they fire. i'm ok with.

the telegram. 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 called for an independent investigation into israel's use of force against what they say an armed protest is we use this kind of visitors why the is the road to go since them 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 have very serious concerns about the lives of the severely is more and more. this is kind of encouragement in greenlighted the israeli. should be shooting towards the civilians not only shooting also killing so this is the time that the international community in order to be on. side of the union through really and again such

a good evolutions committed by the. israeli military. the u.s. state department is calling on russia to admit that it was behind the downing of flight m.h. seventeen of recent crane in twenty fourteen it's after australia and the netherlands directly accused russia of involvement despite the fact the investigation is still ongoing russia's foreign minister discussed it with his dutch counterpart earlier saying there's no evidence to pin the blame on russia. 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 proved 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 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 to kuala lumpur when it was

shot down or 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 g.i. t. they put forward the latest information they had on thursday in the netherlands and in that report they did say that they had no clear well perpetrator or clear reason why the aircraft was targeted in the first place just a little 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 issues. a lengthy rebuttal to the findings that the j.i.t.

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 the type of misael 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 extended 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 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 j.i.t. the more questions seem to be thrown up. for. investigators concluded the aircraft was hit by a missile from a russian made. the manufacturer's own tests showed the missile time used was decommissioned by the russian military years ago. russian investigators claim the missile was fired from a ukrainian held area. dated to the netherlands don't investigate to say that information was in a format they couldn't analyze. it. 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. ukraine was quick 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 launch 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. b.b.c. is being accused of breaching its own guidelines and wholly inaccurate reporting greater manchester police in northwest england slammed 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 bomb let them a suicide bomber detonated explosives as people were leaving that manchester arena after a concert by the american pop star on the ground twenty two were killed one hundred thirty nine were injured it was the deadliest terror attack in britain since two thousand and five there were two to. the b.b.c. documentary about the devastating terror attack on the manchester everyone that has been praised for showing the courageousness of the survivors. the broadcasters insight has left the u.k.

police furious greater manchester police chief has issued an open letter condemning what he called wholly inaccurate reporting on 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.n.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 will help and they were 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 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. stable's letter that is accurate defending their

decision to include those criticisms claiming that they fully and here 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 to the treatment that when this is perhaps it may seem harsh but the priority for the put for the police is to try to care if the perpetrator is anybody associated with them and i think the reason that the police disengaged from from the conversation in the formation of this film was a sense that 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 you know for the purpose of the public good and to try to keep our syphon arrest people that are doing dangerous horrible when we could things with the battle over whose rights and

his role 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 dealer to r.t. . elsewhere in some liverpool football supporters in kiev for saturday's champions league final of received less than a warm welcome ukrainian police it appears grabbed her uncomfortable found on thursday who'd been attacked by masked hooligans in the capital with more. what we're seeing is a of course thousands of little four founds who've made their way to kiev in order to watch that champions league final and a number of them were enjoying dinner leaving 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 balaclavas 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 funds just minding their own business ahead of that big game tomorrow evening 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 had to run away and we can also hear from some of the eyewitnesses themselves 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 it's how do you and fans from roma salted 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 and 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 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 . the reporting there was a snap shot of just some of the stories going on all around us today thanks for watching out international for your update on you tube so much more there and r.t.
