from martinsburg been following what's been said hello again rad just run through them the key points. well it started off as that usually does vladimir putin is by now an old hand at this sixteen direct lines q. and a sessions behind his belt but it started off with domestic issues that say health care education salaries you know problems the russians are having corruption as well and muesli interesting to russians but they were of course early on as is you know by by standard so far early on they came to international issues and one of those of course is the split the division and tension between russia and the united states and its allies and one russian view us president what the chances of world war three are. in the among

adults because you know you can recall einstein's words he said i don't know with what weapons world war three will be four but world war four will be fought with sticks and stones with the understanding of the fact that world war three may be the end of modern civilization must deter us from extreme actions on the international scene. another question was when will it end when will the west and the east europe the united states and russia finally make up and vladimir putin said that when everybody treats each other with respect when everybody learns to compromise to compromise and deals to take into account other people's opinions other people's views when there's respect there will be there will be peace he said that things are changing slowly but changing with regards to sanctions for example there's more and more talk of dropping those european sanctions against russia

though he said that it won't happen overnight but he also spoke about. the united states the role that trump is playing in all of this this trade war for example between europe and the united states these new tariffs that washington slapped on european goods are nothing more than sanctions said the russian leader. as minister for one of the french government's ministers recently said that the us shouldn't be allowed to become the economic policeman of the world and he spoke about it publicly the former german minister of finance publicly said that germany hasn't been a fully sovereign state since one thousand nine hundred five but everybody can see what's going on but probably our partners thought it would never affect them that kind of politics is counterproductive the politics of limitations and sanctions which. let me a putin also said the brush yield won't bend under sanctions or pressure that it

will stand for its financial and security security interests he said you know we'll all get along only when everybody treats each other as equals but that was you know international teams you also spoke about the upcoming world cup saying that while the russian team's performance neatly hasn't been stellar he said he hopes that you know they'll surprise all of us that they'll show that they can do much better of course the session isn't over just to give you an idea of how long these can go on for in two thousand and one when it all started the q. and a session lasted for two and a half hours in two thousand and eleven he went on for four and a half hours so we'll see if he beats the record this year here when he's still on track isn't he thanks to. gas the air force. well let's come back to the world cup because it is just around the corner and football fans are already guessing who

might make it past the group stage as it is r.t. host and star coach joe is a marine you know there are some of his picks. to work with them we will go. there experience the top of the road to be. in the group be. a local show a little good to talk to the portuguese real world to finish second in the world. well for more of the man she noted manages predictions you can head to our web site at r.t. dot com and if you think you know actually any better than he does you can challenge him to head to facebook or twitter and use the hash tag match marina meanwhile here's what happened behind the scenes when the marine was making those predictions .

keep. subtle. but. i. suggest. you. pick but if. you do something. else. let's. go over the.

atlantic send it. to the c.e.o. . now to see. if. so will cup kicking off here in russia in just a week's time that for the past three days israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been on a european toll well being the leaders of germany france and the u.k. to drop their support for the iran nuclear deal is death as they do appear to have been in that but i've been very consistent about my opposition to the the. to. we believe that the run deal is an opportunity for a certain time it's better than what we had before you along with france and germany they continue to be the best route to preventing iran from getting. well

despite this unity among european leaders companies and institutions to you are playing to a different chain european investment bank for example seems to be siding with the u.s. as r.t. dangle bushell expects e.u. solidarity and nothing but a house of cards after europe giants from energy behemoths to the makers of persia and see paul in a bit this scrapping billion euro iran projects to brute the european investment bank owned by yes the twenty eight members of the e.u. of. supports the e.u. but ignoring sanctions is incompatible with its status of course and it gets worse brussels is painful new u.s. tariffs on europe's metall however some see all this as a calming plan business these days especially european union in american business

is whether their bangs automobile companies i t. companies any other business they are so interconnected that america will continue to use that leverage to try to penalize some of the european companies who may be doing business with iran charmer tehran again breaking up the transatlantic marriage e.u. ministers write an angry open letter demanding america exempts them from iran's sanctions as close allies we expect that the extraterritorial effects of u.s. secondary sanctions will not be enforced on e.u. entities and individuals and the united states will thus respect our political decision and the good faith of our economic operators within the e.u. legal territory. and while we await washington's reaction there's the small matter of friday's g thirty seven or is that g six plus one it will be reduced six

plus one the united states have decided to raise dettori sums to. that decision is unjustified this is very unfortunate it is unfortunate because it will. cause a lot of damage to our stealing aluminum industry it is unfortunate because this is further weakening the transatlantic relations the european union wanted to avoid this situation you wouldn't want to be your accra right now dissent in the ranks of your top firms be true the party line or the world dodging bullets from the trump administration. british clergyman has been cleared of paying islamic state to release sex slaves after a two year investigation and rewired denies paying eyesore saying he helped release several women using connections he made while serving as a church vicar in iraq the clergyman has reportedly played a role in the release of at least six women well earlier we spoke to mr white who

told us that police refused to believe him. odd job to ensure that terrorism issues. by giving terrorists monley you actually perpetrate it not stopping it but the problem was they didn't realize that all i knew some of the people who could come on dues of the kidnapping groups and i had john laws things for the many years before but we debated this issue. with mohammed the ramadan foundation and also the political commentator david thoughts but that affair was a justified investigation. and i think it was slightly unfair because canon was based in iraq and he would have built relationships where the number of people we used those relationships to use that influence to get civil thaws slaves who

were captured and held by isis to be released you know would be remiss of scotland yard if they had possession of some information that led them to suggest that monies had been paid to islamic state in this incident didn't have to be looked into it would have been remiss to have ignored by the see him talk and i think the men need to move on and focus to closer to home priorities i'm just a bit concerned it took him two years to reach a conclusion on this plot and you know kind of wonder who white would have caused immense pain for him and his family it was a very brave man even to back that i don't time when you know it because the christians in the middle east terrorists want to want to do how i have a good record my admiration for what he has gone through in iraq in baghdad. you know you guys bravery is beyond beyond dog what else can somebody do what other action can the government take to release slaves of islamic state in terms of isis

it's very difficult as there were very bad. if there was no room for negotiation there was no all the treaties to have a dialogue you just bury you don't negotiate with you if you don't abuse them and you sure as heck don't pay them all who have read it that's the lesson of syria it's one that many of us would not wish to be the case it is the case. the german drug pesticides make it will close its largest ever foreign takeover on thursday it is buying up monsanto the largest us producer of genetically modified seed and i quote cultural chemical the german giant is hoping to strengthen its portfolio in the health and nutrition searches with the acquisition although given monsanto's legacy might not be so easy as expects one of the world's biggest brands and most controversial agricultural companies monsanto will soon be there as we know it will be bought out by bayer the german pharmaceutical giant and the company has

announced that it will be shedding the monthly antonie one which used to make headlines as thousands of protesters hit the streets across the globe. the fact that monsanto will no longer exist bayer will be inheriting each and every lawsuit that taps the company around four thousand of them in the u.s. alone on top of that approximately two thousand legal hearings are still pending and one of the biggest trials to come this month is based on accusations that the company had bet its products could cause cancer for decades. i know i know at the center of all of those lawsuits monsanto's

leading herbicide ground up. and its main ingredient like a fake according to the international agency for research on cancer it's called probably carcinogen a human their study has also found strong evidence of a link between life estate exposure and lymphoma. what provokes me about monsanto is that it can sell its poison year after year and nobody cares what provokes me is that there is only us here today one since there has been implicated in the scandal in various ways court documents released last year showed that monsanto manufactured scientific study and derived scientists to publish them but at the same time the company claims that ground up is. glacier site based herbicides supported by one of the most extensive worldwide human health and environmental databases ever compiled for a pesticide product. monsanto's new owner has provided assurances that the

merger would make things right as they are great here but if our aim to deepen our dialogue with society we will listen to our critics and work together where we find common ground agriculture. ideological differences to bring progress to a standstill. you're talking about progress to try and find a new herbicides that simply hasn't happened and they may have reached the end of their life if you're talking about progress to try and convince americans and the rest of the planet that roundup is safe well they've been doing their leaked documents show that when they knew that the world health organization was going to declare life for say a probable human carcinogen they created entire plan to quote orchestrate they ghostwrote studies they ghost wrote opinion pieces documents all sure showed that they had their own man inside the e.p.a. working quietly on behalf of monsanto and blocking additional research that might have indicated it verified that it was

a core synergy so i don't know exactly what their means prime by. but it doesn't look good. but dealing with the alleged dangers of months santa monica does not feel weak if you bothering the public there are fears that to china companies will form a monopoly that farmers are. they're looking at a very big conglomerate now because month santo was a shy and and bear is a giant in health and agriculture and now you're combining those when you create a giant company that controls all of these assets it makes it harder on the smaller companies that just fresh allies and one or maybe two of the functions of bear so it's going to affect farmers if i did it will affect all of us in the long run to mary kom that with that report you want to national we're going to take a quick break nice teams.

if your family was engaged in massive political financial corruption which led to a concentration of wealth and ultimately the downfall of that country so in america you have a similar corruption playing out as we call it money in politics and people try to get rid of the lobbyists and this cycle is being played out all over again and so the question is is it inevitable. when almost shows seem wrong. when old rules just don't hold. any new growth that is yet to shape out these days to come out today and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look

for common ground. this is. a church secret indeed just like priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally. because to do graphic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the producer's is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot were the previous standards not known the highest ranks of the catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system did that and it has not as the end then i can fly out at tuesday's yeah i don't think.

it's worth. zero again now prison rico's government will release all death certificates issued since hurricane maria hit in september as people do say that the official number confirmed by the territory's health ministry is far too low a new released report says the actual death toll exceeds four thousand.

well with a new hurricane season looming donald trump has promised a rapid response however the consequences of the last big storms are still being dealt with the u.s. government accused of wasting aid money and looks into the story. put there rico is still reeling from last year's devastating cataclysm but it's already time to plan for the new hurricane season and that's why donald trump has arrived at the aged care of the federal emergency management agency with melanie as the parents alongside him all gave drawing more attention first lady maloney in trouble just made her first appearance before the media for the first time in twenty six days the first lady malani a trump attended a fema briefing with her husband today her first time in front of a camera nearly a month the first lady malani a trump was with her husband the president this afternoon for

a briefing about the hurricane season it all comes as where expecting the release of all death certificates following hurricane maria which will shed light on the real scale of the tragedy is thoughts the death toll of just sixty four has been severely underestimated nevertheless has that changed the high opinion the trump administration has about the way it dealt with the disaster does the president still think his response to the hurricane. is the center of. the storm it's almost part. of the federal response once again was a historic proportion we're continuing to work with the people of puerto rico do the best we can to provide federal assistance particularly working with the governor there in puerto rico and will continue to do so while the mayor of san juan in puerto rico believes the u.s. response to the hurricane was a historic failure the fact is that the trumpet ministrations bureaucracy and

neglect created a climate of inefficiency that cost lives their inability to meet our needs and their lack of empathy continues to be responsible for the slow pace of recovery. the federal emergency management agency actually did spend significant sums to aid their ricoh providing some one point three billion dollars in support to survivors however some many allocations there raising questions in particular a cruise ship which was booked to host female workers and first responders the so-called floating hotel docked in the virgin islands the main island of puerto rico cost them seventy five million dollars for a four month runs and that's actually more money than the money dished out to help the virgin island survivors as of march first more than seventy million in themis individual assistance has been distributed there reckless to survivors so how of them get back on their feet to make matters worse the floating hotel remained hot

and the contract has been defended by carnival the company which owns the fleet it stresses the way the ship was to be used was never part of the obligations we commit of the full use of the ship for an extended period of time whether or not fema was go into the ship or not or filled it with relief workers that wasn't part of our obligation this time around with the new hurricane season approaching fema may now be more prepared for the storms the troublous the ricos not mr sethi there we did ask the u.s. federal emergency management agency to comment on this story although they said they would respond as soon as they could. on a lighter note a pensioner from northwestern russia has decided to give all his money away after saving up all his life to help those whose lives are just beginning.

australia thirty five souls lost their lives to a gunman's madness massacre was the catalyst for the australian government to enact massive sweeping changes in our laws regarding ownership buy and selling firearms maybe it's time for the united states to start looking out for help. you didn't see this is. the church secret indeed just like priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this the do graphic solution so what the bush admin's to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot were the previous standards not known the highest ranks of the catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice so sunday
