european commission president. welcome to the program from national first for you this hour north korean officials have been meeting american diplomats in new york it comes amid uncertainty over a peace summit between the two countries g later this month on thursday russia's foreign minister met with north korea so expressed his support for deescalation efforts but added that it should be handled gradually our correspondent has been following the delegation was granted exclusive access 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 and just to keep our men one photographer and myself following a lot of savings. 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. who. i don't really know what exactly this place this but it looks to be the area where he came john will be greeting certainly loughborough and the reason why i think so is because just through this door i saw came john in sister and she was having some

sort of conversation with the guards but nobody speaks english here hello. and as far as i understand this is circular. i believe this is a bit of a historic moment we still don't know whether the attempt 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 and 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. residents. i can barely remember being given such. locations around the world we were just told. the president 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 the moon 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 one foreign minister said and making the korean peninsula free of nuclear weapons is a very delicate issue moscow maintains that the interests of all sides must be respected. so that said it all ended with inviting came john to 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. and pyongyang. the spanish prime minister's. forced out of office in an unprecedented move which saw him lose a vote of no confidence in parliament it was followed by the rival social party

leader who now gets the job with his slim parliamentary majority there was the premier admitted his defeat during day two of debates on friday. a lobbyist though they look at that from what we all know the no confidence motion is likely to go through which means mr petro censures will be the new prime minister and i would like to be the first to congratulate him it will be this chamber that will make the decision and it is up to all of us to abide by the mandate of the popular sovereignty represented here i believe that today we're opening a new page in the history of our democracy and we will now start reading the first paragraph so i can tell you without hesitation that we in the new government will put the interests of the spanish people above all else socialist party leader predator santy it is now spain's new prime minister that followed a vote of confidence which he called a week ago in response to a high court ruling which sentenced several leading. figures in marianna.

people's party to have to jail sentences following a long running corruption scandal including the passage former treasurer it looked like a long shot at first because centuries only commands eighty four seats out of a three hundred fifty member chamber however one by one crucially opposition. parties including social left wing rivals spa day mass and fractious regional parties in catalonia and the past country added up their support and reached the crucial tally of one hundred eighteen votes with just hundred sixty nine in against and that was when marianna hawley finally realized that the game was up so it was a close call this is the man now taking over pedro sanchez forty six years old will be sworn in as prime minister over the weekend a forty six year old former economics a professor currently leader of the socialist party that has been a thorn in the former prime minister side for some time twenty sixteen when

parliament voted on approving mariano rajoy new cabinet sanchez refused to give his backing now although that movement he was forced aside and had to step. down of socialist party leader that led to a nine month political deadlock but in twenty seventeen sanchez made a shock reappearance after winning back his position but now despite receiving large support from smaller opposition parties he's still likely to face some major challenges for the liberal party to see a down ass is one day been calling for another election as we have from our guest earlier that could happen in a few months now they seem to be the only major party backing the ousted prime minister or sanchez would also have the issue of catalan independence to deal with and the separatist push in the region since last year's referendum and we spoke to mark up a son who's a politics professor who believes that the situation in madrid could play into the hands of catalonia well this is this is so our government will be your another minority government. so it will be like the other one of the leaders their

own church was little more than eighty four out of three hundred fifty. so this is this is going to be trying to trick you know the important thing all that katla answers are moves that they are part of this or luzhin that ousted horn and roll i was the major enemy of theirs want so this is really for. if you play the right strategy. helpful for how to lawrence independence. next just hours after the u.s. announced hefty tariffs on steel and other many of imports the e.u. is vowing to strike back the trade commissioner says she regrets donald trump's decision to impose increased cutis adding that it will harm relations between the two allies this is very unfortunate it is unfortunate because it will. cause a lot of damage to our steel an aluminum industry it is unfortunate because this is further weakening the transatlantic relations even union wanted to avoid this

situation. under the new duties e.u. countries will have to pay as much as twenty five percent extra if they want to see their metal products on the american market that could spell trouble for manufacturers that as the european union is currently the world's second largest still producer after china after the new terrorist were announced the european commission said it may now look to russia. that we have to reconnect if i'm not very happy about the illusions we have. come to i wouldn't say a lot of illusion we've washed up but there are so many areas so many domains. look at our differences on the streets are but does. seem. to be poor commitment now last hour i talked to international politics expert tara mccormack about this and she believes the european commission's comment reflects a changing mood towards russia as the bloc hints at searching out new trading

partners what we have seen in the e.u. in many e.u. countries. they are around to come up with the kind of demonization of russia so i think you're actually reflect. a broader and. are you. that whatever the difference is you know their relationship with the european union russia needs to be somewhat normal don't think that i don't think russia will be looked to as a place where so much but i think big potential trade will does really well so again kanu. issues in the relationship between the e.u. and america. a huge migrant resettlement program is underway in paris and it means former president nicolas sarkozy gets some new neighbors on our story still ahead when we come back.

i played too many clubs over the years 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 fans it's the age of the shaper money kill you narrowness and spending to get to the twenty million player. book it's an experience like nothing else only because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful game great so well bowl champs with. the thinks it's going to. show something seemed wrong but all wrong just don't call. me.

yet to stamp out this thing becomes active. and engaged because the trail. when something you find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground . by again a journalist working for a russian news agency in ukraine who was arrested last month on charges of treason and has told a court hearing that he wants to surrender his ukrainian citizenship. is also appealed to russia for support. you know. i want to address president petro poroshenko to surrender my ukrainian citizenship i consider myself a russian citizen now and i'm asking let him put in for his efforts to protect me. i'm sure do have to make this hard decision to surrender the passport of the country in which i was born and released i was proud to be

a citizen of ukraine free speech advocates describe his arrest as politically motivated ukrainian call this friday rejected an appeal from the journalist after the court also denied his request to be allowed out from a security cell during his hearing with no details he is a go to donald. what we've seen today is of course the continuation of the case of karylle the shinseki who was jailed on the fifteenth of may he was the he's the editor in chief of ria novosti ukraine news agency and so basically here pealed his two months arrest but the court decided to basically the court rejected his plea and the coalition scheme self described the pressure he's being put to that is being exerted on him that he himself compared to torture and have a listen. is hard to maintain working in a situation where experience constant pressure including psychologically and then build as if i killed kennedy well as i've mentioned he was arrested on the

fifteenth of may when ukrainian police raided the offices of his news agency and he's being accused of state treason because of his because of his professional activities and that has caused international concerns foreign governments like for example lin has just said that his case is very important just looking at it from the perspective of the freedoms of the press the council of europe and the you always see have said that this is something that this is something that could impact the media freedoms in ukraine other agencies have called this an attack on journalists and demanded the immediate release of it but ukrainian authorities actions of the raise concerns also because they are being motivated by the national security service the same agency that is behind a nother media scandal that was that is of another journalist. what happened

a couple of days ago they said that well. a vocal critic was killed murdered in his apartment three shots in the back and hours later they revealed that it was all fake it was apparently staged they thought as they are saying someone was planning. his assassination on behalf of the russian government and they needed this masqueraded to catch the mastermind but a lot of journalists and experts and international organizations the ask the question well how can the ukrainian government be now trusted if they juggle the facts like that and they're saying that of course this incident will have an impact on case as well and it goes to another and we managed to contact several journalists working in the ukrainian media about the kinds of pressures that they say the but fearing for their own safety they only agreed to speak to us on condition of anonymity people don't want any problems with police or nationalists who are doing what ever they want has anybody come to our defense when they

picketed our station or set the building on fire we tried talking to our colleagues but they didn't want to listen any criticism of the government can result in something like that for example they can raid your offices and find a map of ukraine without crimea ukrainian media should have united then demonstrated to the government that it can treat proposition media like that but our colleagues don't want to get involved and we can't organize a large scale protest on our own. but let's go back to the political upheaval in spain right now the prime minister there has been forced out of office in an unprecedented move which saw him lose a vote of no confidence in parliament socialist party leader pedro sanchez now takes over but with a slim majority let's get some thoughts on this now from one hundred who is a spanish history lecturer at the university of newcastle upon tyne up in northeast england hi there do you think sanchez will take a dramatically different approach to mariano rajoy. well there are

things going to be changed for sure some other things still probably remain the same. limited. except to use the same batch of there was approved just last week by the conservative government so in that respect there are some limitations some constraints in some of the political issues like the reform of some legislation and the would curtail in front office patronization in spain of the reform of the spanish national television i think he does have a bigger bigger space to to change to change things in spain because there is a majority in parliament in favor of that sort of change right although as a party he's got a very slim majority their desire is going to constrain him in any way it's going to be in your heart of hearts it's a caretaker government until yet another election down the line. yes and no i mean

of course. they just have eighty five m. peers there's a very very. small number of. parliaments and that does a limitation in itself but center of himself would like to. be in government for a year and perhaps two years if he was it was able to certainly is a big constraint because there are no. four parties that actually are needed to conform a majority in terms of m.p.'s so it's going to be a very very limited government in that respect yeah he's a pro e.u. prime minister though but getting the support of parties like today miles who have now euro skeptics how long is that likely to last. well it's the main thing for for the for the socialist party is to keep the support of of for

them most of them most of the in terre to but they have not been and to european union criticize the policies imposed in spain but they have not criticize the european union as a project so in that respect i don't think there is the big sort of political issue between the socialist party and put them as they may have differences in other fields but i don't think the european union as such is going to be a problem and what about the impact on spain's economy after being dragged through the mud for so many years i know turned a corner this time last year around last summer wasn't it that it was back to its pre-crisis size again when mr sanchez takes over when he's sworn in at the weekend what's he to be able to do in order to build on those improve them. well. assist sent. was just passed. last week by the conservative government

with the support of the basque nationalist party the right wing past nationalist party and now the. past nationalist party have two hours. so the budget is going to remain the same that was basically the promise that scientists have to to make to the to the bass nationalist party to to bring them on board to no confidence vote so there are limitations in that respect because the batch it is the prize that the conservative government passed so i am not sure did three going to be dramatic changes in that particular direction in economic terms it doesn't look like at least for the next year they're going to be important important changes so i don't know what are the left wing government. this part of the government but with the right wing budget what about for catalonia up in the north east because the independence leaders obviously know fans of mariano rajoy

but now that mr sanchez is in charge is there going to be any opportunity for them to exploit the change. probably so but yet again this is a difficult situation as well there's no doubt the issue in catalonia is going to be one of the hard to protect. the spanish politics in the coming years and for this government to swell centive has been saying that he's happy to have a conversation with the new cats on president but on the other hand he said that he was going to have that conversation within the framework within the re arm of the spanish constitution so it's an opportunity for the prime the pen's party on the other hand. doesn't seem to be very happy to talk. beyond the constitution and they certainly all looks very cordial in the chamber despite the hay of all and certainly can't underestimate the task ahead of him now another

spanish history lecturer at newcastle university in england thanks for that. thank you. thousands of migrants in paris are being cleared from their makeshift shelters along the city's canals and the roughly two hundred of them have been resettled in a wealthy district in the french capital trying to do better he went to find out what the residents think of the new divers. 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 are cleared from the canals of paris doing side waves thousands of migrants had camped along the canals for many many months living in squalid conditions with you know. the mayor of paris and the interior minister whom had been embroiled in a war of words over who is responsible for clearing the camps. the situation will be repeated indefinitely if measures not taken by local authorities

to prevent the camps reappear. in a battle 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 the only option possible if we want to avoid the roadside camps so i'm waiting for the states to get back to me on that. now these migrants are being housed in broad deploying one of paris's wealthiest areas the sixteenth on d. small it's also home to former president nicholas sarkozy p.s.t.'s back to ponce football stadium and 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 who are not very. pretty to see if people are here because they're alfredo afraid to some some of the most be very

difficult and some odd. 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. 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 to deport us we 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 i. thought. 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 migrants arriving every week this seems to be little that the authorities can do to keep a lid on the problem jollity even ski r.t. paris. just before we sign off from our football fever is spreading and with just two weeks to go until the biggest event in the game and to patients proving hard to contain for the world cup here in russia it's even got into orbit.

i thought enough of a friday football fix for you stan collymore back with his show in a couple of hours here on r.t. and if you can't wait you can watch it right now at our team dot com i'll be back here though in just about half an hour to update you again on what's happening around the world on the international scene. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers available to us but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. you guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star and the huge amount of pressure carol that you have to go to center of the beach but how would you. go all the great the great if you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get down going let's go.

along. and i'm really happy to join the fall of two thousand and three in the world cup in russia meet the special one it was also appreciate me to just take the radio p.r.t. teams latest edition make it up as we go so i need to just say look. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime champions each day. eighty five percent of global will you long to the ultra rich eight point six percent market song. the percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember in one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only.

join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. four men are sitting in a car when the fifth gets shot in the hand. all four have different versions of what happened one of them is on the death row there's no way he could have done it there's no possible way because the oldest did not shoot around a corner. you never know what's around the corner you never know what's in the pub you can walk

into excitement is that not knowing that's where the adrenaline in much comes from . and you can use a nice one definition and the extremes will support. the violence is a pov and it's almost a schizophrenia. where you can do all these things and behave badly. you're going to befall a whole disqualified all. of us both more so for the last. on this maybe an unfair . rule and good on all of us in the start. i would roll the way enough i figure out really did a poll down down went up a little bit. of meaning in reason is that at least if you don't involve these constantly evolving.
