election of its prime minister who vowed to defend japan from north korean aggression weeks after p.r. yang's missile launches these election is about whether we can define japan from north korea and ensure we leave happily and the unpredictability on the korean peninsula has fringe benefits for some american rivals the south china sea has been a serious bone of contention as of late with the u.s. attempting to assert its naval presence there much to beijing's annoyance so the larger threat of north korea's nuclear program has shifted u.s. military attention that would otherwise be focused towards china and although russia doesn't directly benefit from its unpredictable neighbor it certainly doesn't mind a challenge to u.s. dominance in the region what these countries are just beginning to recognize is they getting into an arms race and increasing in and as china is expanding its military operations it takes money out of the economic damages of the kind of the

which we can is there a kind of the it's a very complicated issue except for the south koreans who are essentially getting the we're sure to stick this is something that must change countries as they begin to take the spread sheet. to benefit the countries in the region from peace is not. living on the world's business and political elites gathered this week in russia's northern capital petersburg the international economic forum there brought together more than fifteen thousand businesspeople investors and politicians on friday a panel of world leaders from russia japan and france discussed the main economic and political challenges facing the world today. and we're going to do it sure 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 which is a two way road the door must remain open i think not all is lost if they are put in a stop i couldn't change the terms decision on iran but at least i tried i explain that this agreement was signed using international efforts i think that president trump has refused to sign a two thousand and fifteen agreement because he was initially signed by his predecessor who is as he thinks by definition. china hopes for peace and stability on the korean peninsula under no circumstances should we allow water breakout in the region that's why we should promote the process of demilitarization 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. 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 term. a provocator i've got nothing to do or trump selection

campaign and you are not a national provoke a. decision i believe in french foreign policy that's based on independence there are things that tie is really closely to the u.s. like foreign security. emanuel said that europe and the u.s. have mutual obligations europe depends on the u.s. in the realm of security which you don't have to worry about that will help which will provide security issues here you saw both of them there in the most anticipated meeting of the forum was between the money with his russian counterpart it was the french president's first visit to russia leader parties more. this here in front of the cameras is going to happen right here. for now if you were a diplomatic rock brawl schmall none of that tapping on the shoulder but

a few smiles were visible out there. now that the presidents are busy talking that policy and it's all about what they'll choose to say to the journalists and into our lives. and now the press conference begins in this record. 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 a lot of our putin then also showed off his affection for some of the big names in russian literature like solzhenitsyn or the state yes but it wasn't just about how many nice things the french president said about russia and this palace quite surprisingly again one billion worth of business deals were inked they talked about so much and brought up so many things syria iran ukraine cyber

threats the korean crisis sanctions multi-polar world freedom of speech and even football 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 at for additional russian soup with a french twist surgeon steak in venice and 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 emanuel macron was leaving his limo. even hugged him and also he prepared a copy of flowers for micron's 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 in the month again to support the french national team during the football world cup mostly that in the end i had to travel to support. of friends makes it to the quarter final i'll definitely be here to support it it's the most misty by nature and i meet again with president putin that is only have a drink our tea. and a quarter final should be out of the question for functionality during the three days of the same petersburg gathering we discussed the major economic and political issues with foreign participants from all over the globe. trade was between us china would resolve this situation which means the policy makers on both sides are likely to be rational that's what we have seen in

past two weeks but having said that i think the trade the tensions between china united staes unlikely to go away really just for one reason the u.s. economy right now you're facing the risk overheating. school old support old country europe i'm bored but the force in diplomacy is always ahead of us to keep eating and we have to convene germany to call me this exactly off to me i always said the wrong you all passed to be it says i knew of us to see these united states i was the way east is the following is a way of our interest to rebalance the relations between the united states and europe by you upon the russia to stop to see the sanctions. i know that europeans wanted many many people in the world think the sanctions are absurd including me i hope they're dropped will america withdraw the sanctions probably not will the europeans say we're going to do it anyway probably still the

germans don't see any reason for it italians many people do not see any reason for the sanctions and they will pull out i don't know of any sanctions in history that have had a major effect yes they affect some individuals and some companies and sectors but historically speaking i know of none that are had a major effect still lots ahead in the program including the u.k. government is accused of an auction as a public inquiry is launched into the ground fell fired treasure we get into that next.

piece we continue to discuss only about some i am in terms of the mastic. compact six but i do. we are nothing to give to the next generation our reason for the rich to be proud to be european these is the reason all of us kept. your back with our to international earlier in the week almost a year on from the ground fell far in london in which seventy two people died

a public inquiry into the tragedy was officially launched it opened with emotional testimony from victims' families and survivors the first to speak told of how his son was stillborn just hours after the tragedy you may find some of the following video upsetting. so i held my son. hoping. it's all about treat my wife. she's made of the hardest thing to do i know. it was a strength coach will be. more

survivors have given their a kind soft events unfold that their loved ones were lost the probe was set up to look into wider issues like the government's response time preventative actions and the direct shooter has been to meet locals they say they are frustrated at how little has changed. it's almost been a year since the devastating blaze and what's left of the grenfell tower could be seen here behind the scaffolding it's a harrowing reminder of a tragedy that has left many questions unanswered.

there are over a hundred tower blocks in london alone similar to grandchild and people living here want their government to make sure that it is also like that does not happen again it's like a year now and we're still living in the same situation when we found out altered it was when. it just costs us praise streakiness cheap material why was this the last of so many people can see these photos of the street. so we know that it's obviously not safe before it could happen again at the moment signs are becoming the book of mormon homes with so what can the residents of tower blocks like these do in an emergency the advise used was to stay put but now according to the london fire brigade is being changed to similar evacuation because of the farmable clopping however the government is yet to ban it tourism

a promise to spend four hundred million pounds to replace unsafe cladding on high rise public housing projects just sixteen of the tower blocks have had their alimony and clubbing material replaced with non combustible materials so are the authorities doing enough awful lot of government haven't done enough. to the needs of those of us that by going through in terms of the for that experience when family i don't think they're doing enough for them not nearly enough no i think the issue with the clothing they should have resolved upon our. stores i could see i mean the gardens that one keeps it sort of coming over and sleeping the things that . what struck me as i've spoken to a number of residents who live here at the estate in camden is the fear in their eyes at the thought that they too could have lost their lives and now they're off to a clarification from the government as to what's going to happen next to resolve those problems and action to be taken in

a day or two to. the u.k.'s housing minister say the government is listening to concerns discuss a policy review concerning a ban on flammable materials in construction or no is that over two thirds of former grenfell residents have still to be rehoused some eighty two hostels are still living in emergency accommodation a campaigner whose home overlooks the charred remains of grunfeld tower so he has little hope that the government's words will turn into something more we haven't seen corresponding option on to see action it's difficult to believe the government what i asked for consultation if would know that the outcome boss to my tools still around buildings today we should discuss it in part of it we should take action to d. because we need to have on the ground they should be versity there should be presentation

if there is no representation in democracy is not democracy is not just issue rod to cause more year to argue that we need a diversity in that it is thinking of what to see that we view what was obvious how long will lead to justice. it's been a long time coming but on wednesday italy's next prime minister was named just seppi conti has been mandated for rome's top job by b. italian president now he emerged as a compromise candidate he is an independent and he was put forward by the euro skeptic five star movement party the appointment ends an eleven week long political impasse and the hawkins has been looking into this italy's new prime minister is neither a familiar face nor name in fact googling conte will bring up an altogether different leader world football manager at least which has already been the butt of much humor of course while one continues to try to see if chelsea two trophies do

separate conti has a tougher job taking the reins in italy and he's already been accused of lacking experience and even exaggerating his quite impressive twelve page academic c.v. law professor nominated to become italy's next prime minister he's facing allegations. of his c.v. now questioned. and time and. new york. there are a lot of questions swirling in both the italian and international media about his background some of the inflated elements of his curriculum his resume about where he may or may not have studied but that hasn't put him off the scholar law professor has already promised a government of change taking his biggest legal case yet as the italian people's defense attorney well italy first is the slogan of the day after all. i am a law professor over the course of my life i took on the causes of many people my

aim now is to defend the interests of all italian it's on the international and european stage i am proposing to be the defense attorney of italian people being the figurehead for the army's e. coalition of the populists five star movement on the right wing likud party won't be an easy task it must implement an ambitious anti austerity government program deal with a shaky stock markets and an even more nervous brussels which will be keeping a close eye on the euro skeptic government described as allergic to bureaucracy he's affirmed his commitment to slashing what he calls as useless laws in the country a pet hate of both parties. the choice the italian people have made is a step towards freedom for the whole of europe away from constraints and insecurity we want to rebuild europe based on people not bureaucracy we want to be listened to otherwise all these sectors and industries that are suffering from injustice because of european treaties and directives will have to be reimbursed his first

task will be to form a cabinet after a two month deadlock in italian politics there is now some momentum but can conti deal with the pressure with brussels and it's brought down on him is the question many are asking today i think you will see so the agreement of the coalition agreement put together by the. last week which has been quite an interesting almost in terms of of the of a political agreement because they basically. ground on different policies including the stance towards the euro including taxation and the pension reform the problem however is how much prime minister will be a leader or somebody who puts in action a coalition agreement who together by others. america's ambassador to israel came in for. them this week after he was seen posing with

a rather controversial gift david friedman was presented with a photograph of one of the most sacred places in jerusalem but the image had been altered to show the jewish third temple on the site where the islamic dome of the rock is currently situated the third temple is a biblical reference to a new place of worship trip place an ancient one which was destroyed in the photo immediately sparked fierce criticism from the muslim world with some officials saying it expressed quote rude and hypocritical behavior the u.s. embassy apologized saying the envoy was on the word that he was being given a doctored photo freidman was not the word of the image thrust in front of him when the photo was taken he was deeply disappointed that anyone would take advantage of his visit to create controversy the u.s. policy is absolutely clear we support the status quo on the show to use temple mount. well the incident with the picture came in

a very sensitive time of course with the region shaken by violent is really protest for almost two months over one hundred people being killed with guns injured the situation he developed after the u.s. moved its embassy to jerusalem a step the palestinians strongly we've got the views of a custom member of fatah party which controls the west bank and a former secretary general of the world jewish congress. might provoke further at tensions he builds the rhetoric against the u.s. policies it would pressure governments to go in face biden against the interests of the united states and at the same time there would be protests which are already being organized for quite some time right now in the passing territories over the two months we lost under thirteen people thirteen thousand injuries. already well it does come of a sensitive time and in fact is the united states embassy issued

a. correction to the mistake saying that they support what's called the status quo in jerusalem which is exactly what the is what every israeli government since one thousand nine hundred sixty seven has also supported the status quo which means sensitivity and respect and honor for the muslim holy sites and this was a an unfortunate. reflection of an insensitivity that was corrected by the u.s. administration. well that is how the week unfolded in the news world i'll be back with more stories which shape the past seventy eight in iran half an hour's time stay with us now though for more great programs right ahead.

about your sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. you're out caught up to us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry but only i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was again still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never again like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this one height difference i speak to now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker.

and would need to make this manufactured consensus instead of public wealth. when the running close is a project over themselves. when the primary goal realm lives only the woman has a job. that's all you do ignore middle of the room signal. dilute the real news is really the world. what politicians do such a lunatic. would put themselves on a lot to begin to show the world reject. soul one of the present. or some want to. have to try to be for us to see what before three of them or the people that live interested always in the waters of the holocaust. there should

. and you'll protest rally a protest against something that some visible to the naked eye impossible to touch but this is still present everywhere week i this is absorbed by the dissolves in water and soaks up by the soil. it's a boy oh boy i'm going to. take it in the proper way you move. along
