but i work at a provocator i've got nothing to do with trump's election campaign and you are not a natural. i believe in french foreign policy that's based on independence there are things that tie is really closely to the us 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 is. the most anticipated meeting of course was between a. lot of your posts and it was the french leaders first visit to russia as president was there to keep track of things as they unfold. this year in front of the cameras is going to happen right here. for now if you were diplomatic to throw up a brawl schmall none of that tapping on the shoulder but

a few smiles were visible out there. now that the presidents are busy topping that policy and it's all about what they'll choose to say to the journalists to do. and now the press conference begins in this room. that was when and manual 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 then also showed off his affection for some of the big names in washing 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 power is 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 to do with the lavishness of their dinner and the tastiness of it i just want to tell you about what was on their menu pancakes with the cab year 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 where and manual macron was leaving his level. even hugged him and also he prepared a copy of flowers for macro wife regine 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 a month again to support the french national team during the football world cup mostly that in the end i had to travel to support our full duty of friends makes it to the quarter final i'll definitely be here to support it i'm optimistic by nature and i meet again with president putin you know that it's only have a drink go r t. faces renewed political deadlock after the prime minister designate said he's failed to form a government that's because the populist coalitions choice for economy minister has been rejected by the country's president. of these oil sort of the ministry of political figure from the coalition parties who is not seen as the supporter of a line who could provoke italy's exit from of the euro. let's take a closer look now at the man in question of power loss of allah he's got decades of

experience in fire to see what serves as a nice industry minister as well he's also know for vocal criticism of the e.u. he did tell you to drop the euro which he brought in the german cage what it really is populist leaders is sure the german establishment played a key role in civil order being vetoed german journalists and politicians insulting us it's the big lazy tax evaders freeloaders an ungrateful people and we should choose a finance minister who they like know thinks. this is one of the front pages that have been cited as an example of german media bias so it's a valid painted in the colors of the italian flag fall in off a cliff the caption calls it a europe's big disobedient child milo the stuff and for most of these five star movement one of the two parties that's been seeking to form a coalition government told us he wants to see the president impeached t.v. . decision as unconstitutional we wrote to the party to the president from

a list of ministers with the president of the council there were perfect every steps was agreed with him before to bring it today and the all the part he was not ok with was the minister of economy incredible point is that candidate mr boehner was the first saying us that italy has to stay in the e.u. in the euro zone but has to be more stronger in the east if you show to bring some good point at home what martha really said today in a t.v. conference was that it was not ok because in the past criticize the so can you imagine a democracy where a minister cannot be a minister because he has some political idea you can be trial so you can be a problem we've been dried just guilty for something but you cannot be a problem if you have some good idea why we are bringing in the president about

that a lot of the impeachment in the parliament. staying with the e.u. thousands of people have rallied in march organized by the anti immigration alternative for germany party over a counter protest by left wing activists through even bigger crowds it's all of a. supporters of the anti immigration alternative to chile party gathered just behind the iconic brandenburg gate behind me on all sides you might be able to hear coming from over this way from the round here this and around it by thousands . thousands of counter-demonstrators. that come from germany's politicians from migrant groups from both ends at night club seats being taking part in something they call the base away the a if they all say trade unions represented in amongst you coming out to say no to racism stop

racism nuts of course what they think alternative for germany stand fulton for germany themselves they say yes they want to close the borders but that's because they say the policies of angle of merkel when it comes to immigration on right but germany what we are seeing from the large scale counted demonstration is this could just be the start of something because coming up this summer there is the big alternative for germany party congress is taking place in out and as i looked into well those counter-demonstrators are getting prepared for that in a big way alternative for germany will be holding their party conference in the beautiful but very good city of the summer however on t fascist groups of the to and to disrupt it going as far as to publish to guide for those wishing to tear it up and demonstrate that contains a few tips on how to stop the riots we suggest tracking and exploiting the f.t.'s weak points across germany so that we can guarantee the necessary space for

protests and it's a very detailed guy did include some ops of where members will be staying the routes that they'll be taking at the best places to disrupt the event from and there's also a section that includes rioting life sucks everything the first time riots will needs like how to block roads how to prepare paying to be correctly but there's also some more unsavory instructions as well the best ways to tie is to smash shop windows or to cause all without sleeving any evidence that you with the. all for that matter being able to identify on security footage we wish you a lot of fun trying our instructions we showed the so-called right guy a.f.p. spokesperson ronald glaser and i asked him just how worrying it is to his members the best just call your we know we're being we're going to come for you this is some kind of disgusting kind of intimidation but he will not pay for it you know

with anybody in the party it's considering any extra security measures. will extra security measures. can be helpful but we did not have any party gathering. without a lot of security around the police and private security organizations so it would be different this time we also spoke to the left party and asked whether they endorsed this guy or if they thought the far left group anti far gone too far this time. it's left in the traditional. which simply never cared for and never again here fifty years ago clearly anti human this. action there is bringing forward racist statements before. the or even work together. of context to militaristic fascist groups so we all the human lives forces and

actors in society have to stand together. to do resistance against the politics of the. police and preparing for what's being described as an unprecedented operation some two thousand officers will be drafted in including reinforcements from nearby areas and they may well be needed fighting between demonstrators and police has turned nasty in the past. the police in hamburg were also warned ahead of time that something big was being

planned there and with just over a month to go before the a.f.p. conference on the thirtieth of june. to see if they can stop a similar situation unfolding there peter all of our r.t. . america's ambassador to israel has been criticized this week after posing with a rather controversial gift david freeman was presented with an aerial image of jerusalem but the photograph had been altered to replace the islamic dome of the rock with the jewish temple the third temple of course as a biblical reference to a new place of worship to replace an ancient one which has been destroyed now the photo immediately sparked a fierce criticism from the muslim world some officials said it expressed rude and hypocritical behavior the u.s. embassy those system the envoy was simply taken advantage of and demanded an apology. friedman 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 her arm al-sharif temple mount the incident with the picture came at an extremely sensitive time with the region shaken by violent anti israel protests over a hundred palestinians have been killed in the last two months thousands more have been injured and the situation got worse after the u.s. moved its embassy to jerusalem that was strongly opposed by palestinians both sides have long lasting statehood bids for city discuss the latest developments with our guests. this might provoke for the tensions it builds the rhetoric against the u.s. policies it would pressure governments to go in face of been 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 one hundred 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 in unfortunate. reflection of that insensitivity that was corrected by the u.s. administration. almost a year on from the grenfell tower in london which seventy two people died a public inquiry into the tragedy was officially launched this week it opened with

emotional testimony from victims' families and survivors as well the first to speak at the opening day of the inquiry told of how his son was stillborn just i was after the tragedy just a warning to jews you may find the following footage distressing. so i held my son . is what i treat my wife. she's made of the hardest that you don't know. it was a strength coach will be. more

survivors have given their accounts of how events unfolded and how their loved ones were lost the probe was set up to also look into what issues like the government's response time as well as preventative actions including a ban on the thought of all plotting used on the tower and the receiver has been to meet locals who say they're frustrated at how little has changed. it's almost been a year since the devastating blaze and what's left of the grenfell tower can 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 a grandchild and people living here want their government to make sure that it is all still 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 the truth when. it just costs us praise and just thinking this is cheap material why would you risk the lives of so many people and see these photos in the street. so we know that it's obviously not safe before we could help in the going on at the moment signs of the come on the program the homes were 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 to raise them a promise to spend four hundred million pounds to replace unsafe driving on high

rise public housing projects just sixteen of the tower blocks have had their having material replaced with non combustible materials so all 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 cloud is they should have resolved upon our next move even if he tries i could see i mean to go against that one sort of coming over and sleeping the things. 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 after a clarification from the government as to what's going to happen next to resolve those problems and action to be taken in india tutor r.t.

. britain's housing minister says the government's listening to concerns and will discuss a policy review over a buyout on the flammable materials used in construction so far just sixty two out of two hundred nine households have been really house eighty two others are still living in emergency accommodation one campaigner whose home overlooks the charred remains of grenfell tower is not convinced by government promises we haven't seen corresponding option on to see action it's difficult to believe the government why ask for consultation if we know that the outcome boss to all my tools still around buildings today we shouldn't discuss it in part of it we should take action to d. because we do need to have another greenfield they should be versity they should be presentation if there is no representation in democracy is not democracy is not just issue rudd to cause more year to argue that we need a diversity in that it is the kind of view you need to see that we view what was

obvious how long will it justice. i sit with us all from myself on the team here at aussie join us in thirty minutes for the latest global headlines on. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to be close with what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of my. question.

point of welcome to worlds apart as an old chinese fable has a nasty tigers clash over primacy the monkey may emerge as the benefactor or even the winner by simply staying up the tree as china and the united states declare a law in their trade war should the other players wait until they sort out their differences or should they try to influence the outcome of this fight well to discuss that i'm now joined by brahma to any professor of strategic studies at the new daley based center for policy research mr chiles good to talk to you thank you

for joining us all the way from new delhi. will thank you now you remarked recently that in quote today's world it seems strength respects only strength is that only in today's world hasn't that always been the case it's always been the case but we have had the spur tenths of a rules based order and what we're seeing now is that pretense is falling in place of a rules based order what you have written is seeing is a based order a new g two because both china united states are both suing aggressive you do not follow some americas to find your resume mira's tran i was. assertive you know a lot from the some so both believe in flouting international rules so in this situation in rules based order looks like

a mirror but i wonder if there is also a silver lining in they so open flaunting of you know international rules because china and the united states seem like to some extent like a major made in haven't because they have a restraining influence on the child there to the degree that no trade agreement could possibly have individually over them isn't that the case it is true but it's important to remember a hollow this situation arose this close economic interdependency between china and united states. from a conscious who was follow c. from the one nine hundred seventy s. on woods to china's economic crisis successive us administrations have it did china's economic rise ever since the one nine hundred sixty nine so with chinese border clashes that medical decided

to co-opt china. against the soviet union and that led to the nixon kissinger opening in one thousand seventy one and that in turn led to america's decision to aid china's economic rise for example when president jimmy carter was in office he issued a directive that all u.s. departments would assist in china's economic rise so today an economic rules breaking monster has emerged in the form of china which floats international rules which which rights roughshod over global global creating norms now both china and the united states for the time being at least have put muscle flexing around terrorists on hold but many american acts prates have been warning that this is just the call before the storm do you think the current townshend between washington and beijing can be frozen at its current state or do you think we're

likely to see some ass collation before what are scaled down i agree that there is the love and the slow will not last for long because the americans have woken up to the fact that china has a very one sided trade relationship with the united states it's very heavily skewed in china's fan for john i enjoy is a three hundred seventy billion dollars yearly trade surplus at the moment and this mammoth trade surplus of china is something the trumpet ministration is insistent upon reducing significantly and if the chinese play games if they do not reduce the trade surplus significantly we will see a continuing tensions and even the u.s. spirit of kind of being imposed against china but what's important to note is this that american allies like european union japan south korea.

i have fared worse than china in terms of you was actions the term administration has been harder and pressing its own allies rather than pressing china. to impose punitive kind of sun china that threat has been put on hold by trump but he has been who are seeing and shaming u.s. allies like japan south korea kind of the european union well mr chillingly i certainly want to go into the discussion of. pressure against these so-called american allies but let's focus on china more as you pointed out the united states has decided to take a pause for the time being and i think a major part in that decision was this mysterious plot to you on the part of china

supposedly on the part of china to increase the volume of american imports by two hundred billion dollars and i say this is a mysterious place because the chinese officials say they haven't actually made a trump tweeted out about it as if it was a done deal but regardless of whether or not they have agreed on that do you think it's feasible do you think china could actually increase. it's imports from the united states by more than two fault it can certainly but not not in a twelve month period but if it makes a genuine efforts to balance the trade relationship it can gradually over a period of three or four years make make the relationship more symmetrical right now the relationship is very symmetrical and it's very one sided in terms of who benefits more even though many american corporations and and many american

farmers have repaired some profits from the trade relationship with china the fact children that the street relationship is pretty lopsided and from administration is right in my view in seeking to correct the balance to make it a more level playing field for for the us and for us industries and farmers and i think that's a legitimate gold to pursue well actually that's a very very interesting point because i i specifically wanted to ask you a question about farmers as i'm sure you know trump has already pointed out that american farmers should get ready to export to china as much as they can produce and much of that two hundred billion dollar deficit is supposed to be covered by agricultural exports but you know better than. i did that agricultural exports and subsidies is a very tenuous point in global trade the doha round us trade talks broke specifically because the developed countries did not want to dispense with

agricultural preferences let's put it that way i know that india played a huge role in trying to revive the doha round of trade talks and you had that wasn't successful do you have any concerns that this new way of deal making by lead chill deal making and giving american farmers preferential access to a very large agricultural market will essentially make all the other. national talks obsolete because essentially we have a you know a comfortable tucson between a major producer and a major consumer and everybody else seems to be all seem to be on the sides it's a very good question it goes to the heart of the future of the global trade regime because after the collapse of the ground what we have written a saying is first the weakening of the w t o second more importantly they're merchants of overlapping trading blocks in the world the world is being segregated

into overlapping creating blocks with their own rules so any kind of a bilateral deal which gives american farmers preferential access to the chinese market would further weaken the global trading regime because this will raise concerns across the globe about first the fact that. the uber subsidize as i recall from explodes it subsidizes farm production to begin with and then on top of that it subsidizes its i recall true exports and then it clinches a deal with it with the particular country a large large country to to secure preferential access to that country's market for its farmers so this kind of reading dealing is not going to strengthen the global trading regime is going to further undercut its

object and it's right out of t.v. while an agricultural imports are not the only thing at stake here i've already heard some suggestions in mainstream american media that in order to fill these two hundred billion dollar trade deficit pledge the chinese may need to swap european goods for american ones they may stop buying arab us and buy buoying in stats as if it was some exclusive tucson if dots were to proceed i suppose the current trade where would look like child's play the rule american demand on china is not about farm produce it's about high technology americans are concerned about china's made in china twenty twenty five program which seeks to subsidize china's development of ten critical technologies technologies where the west and particularly.
