i know you do. as the leader of north korea plays host to russia's foreign minister r.t. is the only international channel allowed to follow the delegation to kim. if only someone told me where exactly we are right now this is how suddenly you get treated to cranberry juice kim jong il. hello i can barely remember being given such access at other locations around the world i'm absolutely shocked elsewhere despite the prospect of a trade war here as goes ahead and imposes. steel imports from the e.u. and other trading partners a reaction to that this morning. the un raises the alarm over an escalation of fighting in the libyan city of the french president pushes for talks between ruling factions inside libya. and. euro skeptic parties finally form

a coalition government giving rise to fears there of a major shift in europe political landscape now. good morning just past ten in the morning here in moscow this friday the first of june my name's kevin though in watching r.t. international. uncertainty over the u.s. and north korea peace summits or not later this month officials have been meeting american diplomats in new york maybe paving the way for it meantime as well as russia's foreign minister met with the leader of north korea in person on thursday our correspondent leaper trenchard's been following that meeting i was granted exclusive access indeed to one of kim jong un's residences.

we were told to leave most of our belongings and all our mobile devices behind and now they're taking us somewhere. so we're here in this van just to cower him and one photographer and myself following a lot of state in. this area is completely deserted and it looks like we're in circling something that appears to be the palace. if only someone told me where exactly we are right now but we are being told to fall this man. group. i don't really know what exactly this place this but it looks to be the area where it came john will be greeting certainly loughborough of and the reason why i think so is because just through this door i saw came john

and sister and she was having some sort of conversation with the guards but nobody speaks english here hello. lou hennessy far as i understand this is circular limo. illegal. i believe this is a bit of a historic moment we still don't know whether the camp from meeting is going to happen but at least sergey lavrov is here having direct talks with the supreme leader of north korea. talking behind this wall we were asked to wait in this room so let's just have

a walk around and take a look at what they have to offer a. dark north korean chocolate i can tell you that it tastes just like any other dark chocolate anywhere around the world some lemonade. so this is how suddenly you get treated to cranberry juice rooms residents. i can barely remember being given such. a location is around the world we were just . at the present which is just outside the doors. of the city. and given the fact that we're inside the residence of the north korean leader kim jong un again i'm just going to say i'm absolutely shocked. and. it is really disappointing that we won't be able to find out exactly what's

being said behind these stories but just a few hours before mr kim and mr lavrov met the russian foreign minister said in making the korean peninsula free of nuclear weapons is a very delicate issue maintains that the interests of all sides must be respected. so that said it all ended with inviting russia so let's see whether the north korean leader will accept the invitation for now we're heading back to the airport in the russian foreign minister's motorcade. franco right. after months of postponing and then threatening war trump tower of some steel and

on a minimum ports the you as well as color of mexico. totally unacceptable that it can't push you look at measures when it comes to. create. this or bullet through road or through. the fundamental reversion is going to revert it will get over the course we'll look at the reaction that we've got from europe what could this mean for the european union you may aswell we've had the u.k. government responding with pure disappointment at the reaction for this decision in the e.u. . they're not happy either this could reportedly affect seven point four billion euros worth of european exports to the us understand of billy there's a little bit of outrage going on there the most affected could be the automobile industry and that would mean germany would be hit that the hardest if that's the

case because they are the powerhouse of course of the that sector the president of the european commission john lord has also put the matter to the world trade organization because they are responsible for settling trade disputes and settlements of course i mentioned germany before will they have reacted to the news the german foreign minister has also slammed the decision calling it illegal he's vowing a united response saying our answer to america first can only be europe united the french president emmanuel micron has also slammed the decision it's a mistake because it addresses the international imbalance by dividing and by bringing economic and trade nationalism economic nationalism leads to war we've previously heard from brussels they've promised to retaliate to america's protectionist steps with its own twenty five percent terrorists on various projects including motorcycles jean cigarettes cranberry juice and peanut butter again.

so now we will also impose import tariffs this is basically stupid process the fact that we have to do this but we have to do it we will now impose tariffs on harley davidson motorcycles on levis blue jeans and bore but we can also do stupid we also have to be this stupid so the next question is of course how will trump reactive counter measures are enforced well he's already threatened to respond to any e.u. trade barriers by saying that he will put tax on cars produced by european auto makers so you can see there's a huge verbal tit for tat going on it will depend on whether the e.u. can forget forgive and indeed to live with these new measures. reaction of the u.s. has also been negative with both democrats and republicans criticizing the move wall street analyst michael hudson told us he believes the u.s.

could actually suffer more than europe from these tariffs. crumpets struck the american economy and the thought that seems to be his guiding principle by putting the tariffs on aluminum and steel is to raise the price of aluminum and steel to americans and all of a sudden this oversupply is going to be sold to europeans and asians so that their manufacturing can buy lumen him and steal more cheaply to make many a fractured goods much lower cost and american manufacturers can do so trump has given europe and asia an opportunity to undersell american manufacture is that tim aware of anything industrial beer kegs talk about frying pans cars anything made out of aluminum and steel now the foreigners outside of america will have an advantage over the american producers. the u.n.

humanitarian office has reported on civilian suffering in libya it says there's been an unprecedented escalation in fighting on the coastal city of dead in the in the past week alone at least five civilians have been killed two of them children clashes an air raids have also cut electricity and water supplies to over one hundred thousand people there well that u.n. report comes as the french president's been pushing for negotiations between the country's warring parties next a senior correspondent has more of what role france wants to play in libya. the french president mr mccollum has a certain brand he sells himself as a bit of a peacemaker his latest effort a libyan peace summit bringing together key need is some of whom are war with each other back on was proud to sit upon you for his the first time these libyan leaders under this format some of whom do not mutually recognize each other's positions have met together through accepted to work together and approved

a joint declaration this is an essential important step and which makes what will come next possible. you'd think in reality there were a lot of handshakes forced smiles and photo ops when it came to actually making peace they signed nothing in the agreement they had was verbal and diplomacy that means nothing war over what everyone joined in more than a dozen armed groups and organizations who signed the letter saying that this summit did not represent them would call for a real dialogue focused on the aspirations of libyan society in its aspects nevertheless pundit's macron hailed it as a breakthrough after all getting all these people together under the same roof was an achievement not so much the main act as were there in july last year at this

same summit also hosted by my. courage that is yours today by being here and by agreeing to this joint declaration is historic is to take your brisk despite things that could have been against despite the actions of others to work towards a process of national reconciliation and long term peace. and nothing changed but maintaining the brand takes effort backgrounds really trying. the libyan people aspire to safety stability to live better to be able to express their sovereignty yes about safety and stability than are a coastal city in libya has been under siege for almost a year now and it's only gotten worse the escalation of fighting there has reached unprecedented levels once the un the libyan national army led by general has died

who was at summit is trying to take the city from a local warlord and islamists it's been a tough battle. on this happy occasion we say that zero hour for durness city liberation has come. luke you sources report the protection force is a currently taking positions among civilian infrastructure in residential areas mostly in the center of the city and reportedly in civilian clothing since twenty second me there has been a rising civilian casualty toll as a result of indiscriminate shelling of residential areas general half dollars are tribal. free was also micron's gathering he urged for an immediate cease fire and took a jab at the general i don't recognize the chief commander named tough star he said that the very same day the four libyans pledged to work constructively in paris no

surprise that the thing was signed merely an dorst question is who is going to remember this indorsement and for how long. next is friday morning's focus on events in the southern europe now politically after several attempts at talian coalition parties are finally form the region's first euro skeptic and anti establishment government is about to take power after months of political turmoil there in that country former law professor a novice in politics giuseppe conti set to be sworn in as prime minister later friday along with his new cabinet let's talk about them one of the coalition leaders who promised to expel thousands of migrants will head the interior ministry the new head of the labor ministry has plans for a basic income for struggling citizens and then another name polis of honor will serve as affairs minister after his nomination as finance minister was rejected for being too euro skeptic that caused

a lot of controversy last week now while italy's new government then is managed we think to end the stalemate let's check out spain it's now brace for a political shake up this man's face very familiar of course the country's prime minister mariano rajoy faces losing his job a motion of no confidence has been fired by the main opposition socialist party it's now possible the replace the prime minister with his own leader a majority of already back that vote the move was prompted by a long running corruption scandal and the prime ministers also faced pressure of rhys handling of the big catalonia independence referendum to we spoke to professor of appear in studies thomas harrington who thinks that these crises show a deep discontent in that part of europe right now these are solutions and again i'm not a columnist these are solutions for a reason and there is a lot of unsettled. thinking going on and lot of unsettled feeling in the european union and you know what i think is consistently missing is

a conversation why are you so much discontent i think is a very strong chance to want to point fingers but there is very little tendency to have long discussions about how we. got iraq or how to construct a war and durable model going forward for the political existence which would be solutions. coming up still in europe to the french government resettle thousands of migrants in paris some and now even neighbors than of the former french president nicolas sarkozy will say oh that's gone down after the break.

up a fight for many plops over the gays so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the families it's the age of the super money. and spending to get the twenty million. it's an experience like nothing else because i want to share what i think from what i know about the beautiful game a great chance for. us.

again so the revival of roseanne one of america's most populous sitcoms has been scrapped because of a tweet by the show's leading actress rosa he goes down on folks and how inflammatory comment can destroy years of work for some at least. roseanne the sitcom revived just this march after more than two decades hiatus was watched by a scene million people and destroyed by one tweet aimed at a former advisor to barack obama valerie jarrett muslim brotherhood and planet of the apes had a baby that would be valerie jarrett rose and apologized calling herself an idiot and saying that really wasn't her sleep medication talking but was one racist pill if so but borderline humor often on the subject of race has long been part of bars repertoire black people are just like they're every bit as good as any people who

don't think so just a bunch of banjo picking concent barefoot and stories like trash like god but what finally did was of course the tweet i mean come on you can word a masterpiece of an apology. i made a mistake i wish i hadn't but don't defend it please i'm not a racist i never was and i never will be one stupid joke in a lifetime of fighting for civil rights for all minorities at the expense of my nervous system family will never be taken from me but comparing a black person to an ape there's just no coming back from this what she said was blatantly patently the definition of race as we're seeing with tweeting something that listen to those of us if you're in public like you hear this a lot it's something that black people unfortunately deal with and have a long time a.b.c. stepped up did the right thing even if you may have these biases you can't act on it in the corporate space but amid across the board condemnation some t.v.

personalities try to live down the mistakes of their own past this summer send d.c. anchor you've just watched has a history of being homophobic and plain offensive online she herself tried to mend her reputation with a mix of apologies as someone who is not a member of the elegy beauty community i regret the way address the complex issue of the closet and speculation on a person's sexual orientation with a mark in town and sarcasm it was insensitive tone deaf and dumb and eventually the channel two can know our action against alec baldwin keith olbermann and others roseanne barr has a history of offensive outrageous bad grab crazy statements the left ignored but the moment she was seen as pro trump it became troubling. reed could be the only liberal voice to get away with overboard jokes except she's not the corporation does not really find any problem with people who have questionable paris but

prosaic a mean i think they really do want her to be on television anyway because of the protests message the c.e.o. of disney bob iger had been rumored to be trying to be the president it's only twenty eight years a big time never childbirth so as soon as roseanne say it was you see what does bob iger do he calls valerie jarrett personally to apologize he would like to not have anything that is pro-choice or in his networks because that interfere with his own personal thing and his own ideology we can all agree that racism should be stamped out but shouldn't the punishment be inescapable no matter what side of the political spectrum you belong to. his microbes in paris have been cleared from their makeshift shelters along the city's canals roughly two hundred of them have been resettled now than in a wealthy district in the french capital charlotte abends he went to find out what

the residents thought about their newly arrived neighbors. this is one of the nearly wrecked it camps in paris it's been set up to shelter around one hundred and seventy migrants who are amongst the thousand or so who were cleared from the canals of paris during the one side wait thousands of migrants had been camped along the canals for many many months living in squalor little decisions to no comforts of paris and the interior minister. had been embroiled in a war of words over who was responsible for clearing the camps. the situation will be repeated indefinitely if measures not taken by local authorities to prevent the camps from reappearing. in the bad time we could have avoided waiting for months to find shelter for those people the suggestion i made to the state was to build and reform a welcome center which is really the only be the only option possible if we want to

avoid the roadside counts so i'm waiting for the states to get back to me on that. now these migrants are being housed in blood to play knowing one of paris's wealthiest areas the sixteenth up on the small it's also home to former president nicholas sarkozy p.s. g.'s back to ponce football stadium and a horse which is currently hosting tennis stars from across the globe for the french open some locals aren't over the moon about their new neighbors i think the people here are not very. pretty to see if people are here because they are afraid afraid to some some of those be very difficult and some odd say i'm very very nice i'm sure but a really tough part of them maybe but. you never know how people can react you can have some people who react very badly and some good you never know just by

the thirty's choose not to most hospitable area because it is populated by many old people who are not really open minded so i think that this area is not the most welcoming you would you put us down i don't see any changes we don't communicate with migrants because we don't see them at all in the area so i guess gillies autonomous lee this is now the thirty fourth time in three years that my quince have been moved in paris but the problem seems to be cyclic it's never ending. oh. oh oh oh authorities are due to continue to clear out of camps that emerged along paris. these canals in the next few days yet with the capital already overflowing and an estimated five hundred fifty extra my quince arriving every week this seems to be little if i can

do to keep a lid on the problem charlotte even ski r.t. paris. one just a fortnight to go now to the world cup here in russia around the r t team is. going to get very intense of the coming week stand taller more on his later show talks to croatia players and also learns the tricks of the trade from the coach of the belgian team meantime carol and i'll see you go more news in about thirty five minutes from now it's over the. we have arrived in beautiful kids for the biggest game of the european season liverpool won former club play robert three times with its. way on the pole i've seen media die and we have a chance to manage not only players are the champions league final but every player

even the world cup or croatia as well is nine they should love for this keeping all this level always high and this concentration you know the key points for defending is like a team it's not the feeling someone's i was staying in the original me i guess from now on i've been working solo so hard in my life and i'm ready to fight. the fight which to win the three four world could play some belgium i was told by across europe most of ramallah the coffee place munch is generally given to believe that it just will mean which troika with manchester city i have talents in a putting them on the top in cycling to go right roberto martinez i think every every national team coaches position is different i think that is the case that some nations need an all they're an older person because you can use your contacts

you can use your experience you can use your know how an international game you have the whole nation that stops standstill and he looks up one day the players can do on the piece that's phenomenal in belgium you can understand the expectations and we want that to be almost on the stimulation to have them be. another pressure and i feel that this generation is ready to. fifty years ago pregnant women to come together as

a sleeping pill and dusty's would turn me in because i had to does this thought the side effects were terrible but not on the road as shown in dutch one troubled love more to hear not that warm. across europe victims are starting legal battles demanding at least some compensation in something two ways first will the physical damage itself as well that the concert mind that the people who actually perpetrated this crime has never been the justice and there's been a couple of. local blogs selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that don't. produce talks for the tell you that fluffy gossip and tabloid myself one day. off the bad guys and tell me you are not cool enough to buy your product.

all the hawks have me along the ball of wax. hello and welcome to crossfire where all things considered i'm peter lavelle italy's recent elections again demonstrate the e.u.'s neal liberal agenda is under continued pressure even under threat where is this grand historic project going how should we understand the italian elections the german elections and brags that in totality is the current leadership of the e.u. capable of governing effectively and in line with the wishes of the people he claims to represent.
