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 us 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. will provide security is the most anticipated meeting was of course between the crowd and vladimir putin it was the french leaders first visit to russia as president there patrol it was there as the day and events unfolded. this year 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 going to outlets. and now the press conference begins and that's right. that was when emanuel macron surprised the people in the room first but then his speech went on to resemble somewhat of a love letter to russia he spoke for about four times longer than vladimir putin then also showed off his affection for some of the big names in washing literature like soldier needs and 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 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 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 manual macron was leaving his level. even hugged him and also he prepared a copy of flowers for backgrounds 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 a month again to support the french national team during the football world cup most 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 it's an obvious mistake by nature and i meet again with president putin. in we have a drink go r t. now the headlines italy faces renewed political deadlock after the prime minister designate said he has failed to form a government that's because the populist coalitions choice for economy minister has been rejected by the country's president. or the ministry of political figure from the coalition parties who is not seen as the supporter of a mind who could provoke italy's exit from the euro or let's take

a look closer look at the man in question powerless of all of he's got decades of experience in finance and what serves as the industry minister as well is also known though for vocal criticism of the e.u. as its early to drop the euro which german cage one of italy's populist leaders is sure the german establishment played a role in being vetoed. german journalists and politicians insulting italians a big lazy tax evaders freeloaders and ungrateful people and we should choose a finance minister the the like no thanks this is one of the front pages that sylvie cited as an example of german media bias shows a violent painted in the colors of the italian flag falling off a cliff the caption calls it's a league europe's big disobedient child. from italy's five star movement one of the two parties that have been seeking to form a coalition government told us he wants to see the president impeached. or whatever

is decision unconstitutional we rode to the. list of ministers with the president of the council there were perfect every steps was agreed with them before to bring it today and the all the part it was not ok with was the minister of economy incredible point is their candidate boehner was the first saying to 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 really said today in a t.v. conference was that it was not ok because in the past criticize the you so can you imagine a democracy where and 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 guilty for something but you cannot be a problem if you have some idea why we are bringing in the president about that

a lot of the impeachment in the parliament. are thousands of people have really been in a march organized by the anti immigration alternative for germany party of a counter protest by left wing activists even bigger crowds parties control of a mass in the thick of it all. supports is of the on c immigration alternative to germany party gathered just behind the iconic brandenburg gate behind me on all sides though you might be able to hear coming from over this way for news around here this and around it by thousands and thousands of pounds it demonstrates this. to come from the chinese politicians from my current groups from both ends at night club seats being taking part in something they call the base away the a.f. they all say trade unions represented in amongst you coming out the say no to

racism stop racism nuts of course what they think both tended to for germany stand fulton to for germany themselves they say yes they want to close the borders but that's because they say the policies of when it comes to immigration on right for germany what we are seeing from the large scale county 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 i getting prepared for that in a big way alternative for germany will be holding their party conference in the beautiful but varied city of the summer however something fascist groups at the tomb and to disrupt it going as far as to publish to guide for those wishing to tear it up and demonstrate that contains the few tips on how to stop the riots we suggest tracking and exploiting the 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 in the best places to destruct the event from and there's also a section that includes rioting life sucks everything the first time riots will needs like how to grow. prepare paint to be hurled 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 or 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 to see if the spokes person ronald plays here and i asked him just how worrying it is to his members the myth just clear we know we're going to come for you this is some

kind of disgusting kind of intimidation but he will not keep it you know with anybody in the party that 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. is less than the traditional. which say never. and never again years fifty years of clearly anti human this. is bring forward racist statements before the truth. or even work together of context or militaristic fascist groups so we all the human list forces and

actors in society have to step into. to do resistance against the politics of the. police in oxburgh are preparing for what's being described as an unprecedented operation some two thousand officers will be drafted. including reinforcements from nearby areas and they may well be needed fighting between anti fire 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 president david freeman was presented with this aerial it means of jerusalem the photograph there had been altered to replace the islamic dome of the rock with the jewish third temple the third temple of course is a biblical reference to a new place of worship to replace an ancient one which has been destroyed now the photo you can see immediately sparked fierce criticism from the muslim world some officials said it expressed rude and hypocritical behavior the u.s. embassy insisted the envoy was simply take advantage of and demanded an apology

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 how to use temple mount . the incident with the picture came at an extremely sensitive time with the region shaken by violent anti israel protests over one hundred palestinians have been killed in the last two months thousands more wounded the situation worsened off to the u.s. moved its embassy to jerusalem a step strongly opposed by palestinians both sides have lost the state bids for the city discuss the latest developments with our guests. might provoke for the tensions it builds the rhetoric against the u.s. policies it would pressure governments to go in face of 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 territories over the two months we lost one hundred thirteen people thirteen thousand injuries. already well it does come at 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 unfortunate. reflection of that insensitivity that was corrected by the u.s. administration. almost a year old from the grunfeld how a fire 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 speak at the opening day of the inquiry told of how his son was stillborn just hours after the tragedy warning you may find the following video disturbing. it's one tree. she's made of the hardest thing to do and if. 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 look at also issues like the government's response time and preventative actions including a ban on the flammable cladding used on the tower and he was you know has been to meet locals they 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 grand felt 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 and just thinking this cheap material why would you risk the lives of so many people see this film comes on the street. so we know that it's obviously not safe the fact that it could happen again at the moment signs of the come on the program the homes will be 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 other 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 suit the needs of those of us which by going through in terms of the people 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. throats i could see i mean to go against that one keeps it sort of coming over and sleepy nothings. what struck me as i've spoken to a number of residents who live here at the child 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 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.

now britain's housing minister says the government's listening to concerns and will discuss a policy review over flammable materials used in construction. so far though just sixty two out of two hundred nine households have been real house eighty two others are still living in emergency accommodation one campaigner whose home overlooks the charred remains of grenfell tower isn't convinced by government promises we haven't seen corresponding option on to see action it's difficult to believe the government what asked for consultation if we knew 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 right to cause more year to argue that we need

a diversity in that it is taken of the year to see that we view what was obvious how long will it justice. that's the news right up for this week from myself and a team at all to get by for this hour seeing thirty minutes for that i just global news headlines. at the plate for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guys. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money just kill the narrowness and spending two hundred twenty million and one player. it's an experience like no one else want to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy a great one more chance with. the base it's going to take.

hello and welcome to crossfire we're all things are considered i'm peter lavelle at the moment it is anyone's guess where the korean negotiations stand again donald trump is the wildcard also is the u.s. isolating itself on the world state. crosstalk in the korean peninsula i'm joined by my guest mark sloboda he's an international affairs and security analyst we also have dimitri bobbitt she's a political analysts international and we cross to alex christian for oh he is the

director and writer for the duran dot com all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump into any time you want i always appreciate alex let me go to you first then cyprus here i sent out to all you guys an article written by ray mcgovern. regarding what's going on with the on and off again negotiations about this upcoming summit in singapore. what's really happening here because it looks like it's we really have a love fest i don't think that's an exaggeration with the koreans right now we had a second summit secretly. coming together then released to the press goes out there now he says maybe he's back in what's going on is that john bolton the fact is they might pump a you know is there a tug of war do you think inside the white house because the koreans seem to have a lot of commonality at the at this moment yeah absolutely i think that it all comes down to my. bringing up the libya card why they had to.

anyone's guess but obviously we know what happened in libya where. they're all there when this. and then ten years later actually ten years later the u.s. and nato. dismantled entirely the state and now the country is in shambles and so you know when you when you look at north korea's response to what it said it was actually pretty measure chimp didn't respond at all. korea responded. and i believe they were funded properly because libya is a sensitive topic especially with north korea and the fact they're going to give up their weapons at any rate to defense that they have so i think what you have here is a very poorly. timed statement by parents and of course bolted and i think you're seeing both in the both in effect for sure here in the trunk foreign policy you know month when you bring up the libya model there's actually two of them and i think this is one problems that the administration is having one was an agreement

to take apart their nuclear program and a general reproach moment with with the west and then you have the two thousand and eleven bombing in destruction i don't i don't think you can separate them well though because although certainly they're not separated in the minds of the north korea of anyone i don't think i mean because they're first of all libya did not have nuclear weapons north korea is a nuclear armed state these are vastly different scenarios and north korea demands to be treated as they are as i did how i got to the table libya had i not sent a nuclear program that really had to make any advances they didn't have the resources or the the scientific expertise to really pursue it they gave up everything surely in just return from goodwill from the west and several years later the result of that and their government was bombed out of power and overthrown and gadhafi was brutally killed in fact ian bremmer the head of the eurasia group put out a he has an orca called jeezy labs that makes little cute puppet shows that.

since political messages and the latest one quite tasteless and really disturbing had kimmel giong. having nightmares of waking up like being brutalized raped and then murdered by rebels and that of course is the message that was sent to north korea the reason john bolton said this is because he intended to sabotage the glocks. it was easy we identified it early on that he was one of the biggest obstacles to these talks and any progress being made and he would have a target and a trumpet that you have you have pump aliant is actually secretary of state right now he was there before he was even confirm to start moving the go she said so and he's butting heads it would seem with john bolton well it's true and it's just amazing how trump says i had to cancel this meeting because of your hostile

statement. to no one well i mean if a new one made host of statements it was mike pence who compared korea to libya and if any of our should have nightmares this should be sarkozy you know the former french president who is now accused by the french justice of taking money from khadafi using them for his campaign that the stock in won't believe it before all the other nato members and then seizing the assets of the libyan government from their bank accounts so if anyone should have nightmares and conscious that should be psychology and there's a holocaust and i doubt it happens we'll go back to alex in cyprus here what i think is really interesting what's going on here western media is so western centric and they're all looking at what was going on in the white house what we just talked about right here but really the real game in town is the south korean president mahmoud it looks like he came in and really does

a victory from the jaws of defeat here and i find it. remarkable how adroit he is and his diploma cross that he's right here in every single way he did that's a very good point go ahead alex movie showing that he's very serious about a piece that goes without question and really he back from into a corner and there's a lot of ego in and around trump that i think will play to a narrow range the government actually does article i mean this is this is trust chances big chance to get a nobel peace prize and so you have to on the one hand trying to sabotage the peace process which he's done before in the past and i think you're going to be looking up maybe some other people in the trump white house trying to play to trump ego and move on to the leak latest card perfectly by meeting with him showing that he's serious about a peace deal here showing that he's serious about a negotiation a peace deal and now the world and transport and i and i would also say one other

player going to mark here the chinese have shown themselves to be quite serious about what's going on here as well i mean there is this perception is that. kim went to beijing for permission basically no he wanted to inform his chinese in talkers what he was going to do and they agreed to it because it is a solid approach here the problem is is that. enemies in the u.s. and in the world don't want to see him succeed that's the ambivalence they show when reporting all this particularly in the media but all the other players seem to be quite serious on how to move forward yeah he made his second trip to china and the last year and i'm sure that the these peace talks were the biggest and again we said this weeks ago already north korea and south korea whatever happens with the u.s. and the mixed signals it is sending its it's clear that they don't have a clear policy at this point and i don't i don't think this is any type of strategic ambiguity that they literally don't know what they're doing. and north

korea and south korea need to sit down with each. rather and continue the process no matter if they need to actually ignore the u.s. and then again maybe try to buy in at a later date but i think it's important again this libya scenario to mention that you know bolton statements while provocative were largely ignored by north korea north korea was more upset with the u.s. and south korea. against agreements that had already been made conducted strategic that is nuclear drills on the north korean border involved they announced it was going to be conducted would be fifty two and they have twenty two which are both nuclear capable north korea really objected to this great strenuously and then it was dial back in the b. fifty people who were dialed out of it but the interesting thing is here is and the maximum. pressure being applied here you know i mean it's

illogical i mean this is a very sensitive time right now i mean mark really made a good point here i mean president moon when across the d.m.z. i mean think about it for the last you know since nine hundred fifty three what that means was crossing the berlin wall exactly reince did what they could you know we can't accuse both north korea and south korea of not doing anything for peace but coming back to that article by ray mcgovern you know i have a peace plan for korea let me just remind our listeners that craig my government is a hero you know he's a former cia official who is now a dissident who recently got beaten you know because you want to toss out a competent question but my peace plan you know based on that great mcgowan psychical but he says that trump should be led you know dream of his nobel peace prize ok since the novel peace prize is already discredited by being put into a bomb that the nobel peace prize committee in north will let them come to donald

trump and see congratulations and all that drop man get your price if you need to. and they don't have to save us time for the war because we. don't want to be the only way to save their noble peace prize after obama gorbachev our part and others got it right ok let me go back to our before we go to the break here i think which i don't want to go into it in great depth but i mean you know we had on my pump a zero come out with his twelve points for in dealing with iran here i mean we can compare that which was all quite ludicrous and very much ridiculed by foreign people in the foreign policy blob it seems to me that does mirror the north korean strategy meaning there really if they really haven't thought it out very well go ahead alex yeah we had twelve steps to a war is really what it was twelve steps to regime change but i mean i think you're right peter can't overstress the fact that it's not only the libyan model that north korea is nervous about it's the iran. north korea is nervous about let's not forget it's only been a couple of weeks since the united.
