in the world cup two world war three foreign policy shows the spotlight with domestic issues june. sixteenth q. and a session with public. illegal political mistake and unacceptable world leaders lusha trumps new tariffs ahead of friday's g. seven summit. and a wake up call britain's up of parliament the house of lords is berated over members for sleep during sessions we'll get reaction on the streets of la. place i'm going to be allowed and i think i went so well to say why should i i'd love to be paid to having a campaign in my office a long day or just listening to other people all day long so i get on a bit so i let them have

a. very good meeting if you don't last are you certain your remote just let you know this is art international my name's neil harvey. for domestic issues to the consequences of a third world war russia's president has wrapped up his annual televised q. and a with the public this time it lasted just over four hours as the breaks down the highlights. some of the things that really stood out was what vladimir putin had to say about foreign affairs for example putin recently presented a snood of super weapons we're talking here about bigger more powerful foster nuclear missiles but they stick missiles and one view a challenge vladimir putin saying you know does this stuff really exist there are those who doubt new russian weapons are soon going to be put into service back in

two thousand and four they were doubting the armed guard system but now we see it in syria and that's not everything that we're planning to produce and put into service as i said in my address it's too early to talk about it but we will speak out soon the president stress that this isn't about saber rattling or waving your guns around or you know measuring anything with anyone but this is about parity this is about making sure that russia has a deterrent that new enemy no potential opponent can overcome russia and here another particularly worried. me a putin how close we are to world war three muslims will need to change the in a moment don't because you know you can recall einstein's words he said i don't know with what weapons world war three will be fought 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 all this war talk and fears is no surprise given current tensions between the east and the west people are you know when is this going to end when is this division going to end these sanctions these restrictions and that we're putin said that they won't until we will treat each other as equals until nations learn to respect each other and to compromise that he pointed to the trade war that has just erupted between your. the united states saying that the new tariffs that washington has slapped on the europeans which made them very unhappy those aren't so much tariffs as they are sanctions 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 led to me putin also spoke about the upcoming world cup due to kick off in about a week in all over russia really andy said that the russian team lately hasn't hasn't played as well perhaps as a somewhat expected and he said he hoped that now that the world cup is here they'll really show what they've got. the leaders of canada and france just intruder and emmanuel micron of met ahead of g seven talks friday so it's expected to be tense to president trump announced stiff tariffs on imports from allies. i've constantly tried to convince president trump on the climate on business but president trump i can lead these decisions. even

we're going to continue to defend our industry in our workers but i also know that our citizens expect us to resolve our differences and show him that his actions are unacceptable. but these are just the latest concerns expressed by g seven leaders over the last week on wednesday german chancellor angela merkel said that talks at the summit will be tough times announcement came after brussels confirmed its commitment to the around nuclear deal europe promised to help its firms keep their business ties to iran but the french vehicle equipment industries association has just canceled its trip to iran amid the u.s. sanctions threat auntie's daniel bushell explains how the white house its interests . e.u. solidarity and nothing but a house of cards after europe giants from energy behemoths dot 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. itself insists it supports the e.u. but ignoring thank sions is incompatible with its status of course and it gets worse brussels is painful new u.s. tariffs on europe's metal however some see all this as a calming plan business these days especially european union in american business is whether they have bangs automobile companies i t. companies any other business they're so interconnected that america will continue to use that leverage to try to penalize some of their 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 a 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 seven or is that g.'s six plus one it will not be a g seven it will be a g six plus one the united states have decided to raise to a response to 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 you wouldn't want to be your accra right now dissent in the ranks as your

top firms betray the party line or the world dodging bullets from the trump administration earlier i spoke to paul former u.s. congressman and founder of the wrong paul institute for peace and prosperity he fears america's latest moves against one of his closest allies will eventually backfire and in a big way. it is a serious problem what's going on especially if one does not like terrorists or terrorist war and i think that's a consequence of many bad policy including monetary policy so a terror for is just horrible and eventually it will hurt united states all while they're punishing our lives so it really doesn't make any sense it's very dangerous because there are sometimes unintended consequences i think long term something will happen because i think there will be enough annoyance via our policies that maybe there will be an alternative to the dollar as the reserve currency of the world and i know russia and china and india and some of these other countries would

like to see that happen. when gen pace of hit out of the new law designed to fight fake news r.t. france spoke to several lawmakers he warned that president micron's bill takes the country in a dangerous direction. the problem is in forstmann of this law would put us in the position where the state decides what is truth and what is not. i'm extremely concerned because this law is actually against freedom of speech. despite all the criticism the proposed law which as i said is being backed by a man your macro is being heavily promoted by him. to do the ski has the details. the basic freedom is the freedom of expression which always comes with the freedom of conscience and of thought and that constitutes the basis for the counter power vital to our democracy this illiberal temptation must be taken seriously. well the

french president is a vocal defender of democracy and press freedom on top of that he's on a crusade against fake news the bill he initiated is aimed at protecting european elections from all kinds of just information spreads in the media elections fakes media you have all of the key elements but one it seems is missing this voice that specifically russian media because the time when the law was. everybody thought that the russian with responsible for what happened in the united states since then there was lots of investigation very very few evidence concerning the russian of course no surprises here president is not a fan of russian media and of our channel in particular. russia today have not behaved as media outlets and journalists but as organs of influence and

false propaganda. this is. the missing six by watch video moment so you should. look at this it was like about them with american troops. this election. if passed the bill would allow french judges to block the publication of any information deemed to be ahead of elections not definitely false but. how efficient can these measures be well it could backfire because basically if you sense for something you're going to point everybody's attention to it and there is no way you can censor efficiently the internet so everybody will be looking for this news and because it's censure of the many people in france who believe that's the truth even though it's probably not the government just friends. initiative

saying that it has nothing to do with reducing freedom of expression but vice versa it's only to protect it there is no foreign media in the country available to. what foreign media or news which is not really widespread in france let's be honest here. to internet providers that home for those are the two major internet providers and friends for those of you don't know you have t.v. . with your internet provider i don't have or can use on my t.v. so i don't have access to news other than having access using the internet online on the web so it's not going to change much honestly there's nothing to be afraid of. u.s. congress is said to decide whether to widen the war powers of donald trump the new bill would let the president decide who and where to fight with critics warning

capitol hill is formally giving away its controls the bill was met with fierce resistance on wednesday. we've gone through seventeen years or. you would drop this proposal will have one hundred seventy more a loaded gun in a desk drawer of the president ready for him to take it out and shoot it whatever it wants and it will put war making on autopilot do i want my sixteen year old going to war against al shabaab in somalia my boys have never lived in a country that has not been poor both of them my son probably can't find somalia on a map and probably very few people even in this room know who all shabaab is came korver passes there are no limits on war let it be known that there were least some of us who warned. the new bill six to replace the two thousand and one war authorization act among other things it grants the president the right to include new groups on the terrorist list without informing the public some of expressed

surprise that the lawmaker behind the earlier claim congress has been granting a license to wage war for too long u.s. media have scoffed the legislators don't even know what's in their own bill and despite that bill extending the president's war powers here is what it's all this think about donald trump the president has great difficulty. on men he's proven himself. unable to so that you know who i don't run with i wonder if you run a truck with donald doubtingly they like the idea of the president being some sort of a king go to war when he wishes would it disconnect here you have these two and many others in washington calling trump and a mentally unstable and all sorts of even worse things and then you want to give him the authority to go to war when he wants it's crazy war is what washington is made of war is washington's number one export. growing up and going you know what

we give it all over we're just going to. get in front of a camera collect our paycheck and do nothing. said to the u.k. now where members of the house of lords were given a slap on the wrists over their behavior a memo has reportedly been sent out complaining about shouting conversations and falling asleep while in the chamber. explains why parliamentary snooze is such a sensitive issue. most members of the house of lords which is the chamber of the british parliament have been around the block for quite some time the average age in the lords chamber is sixty nine and from the breadth of their experience the law job is to scrutinise british law and that can be pretty tiring so much so that even the most hardworking and conscientious lords and politicians

can get a little sleep paid. well rumor has it that the lords have now received a quiet telling off for falling asleep in the chamber according to the times newspaper a conservative peers have received an email telling them that their behavior and that isn't up to scratch and it said that the other political parties are sending a similar reprimand to their lords but according to established parliamentary convention perry is all allowed to quote rest their eyes so i'm armed with photos of sleeping lords all sleepy looking lords and i want london as to help me

determine which of these are just resting their eyes and which all most definitely in the land of nod the definition so he might be resting his eyes they've just been told off the sleeping too much in the chamber guys lost control of his neck so he's definitely sleeping but i think he'd be asleep and he won't be resting but i don't know all right i'm just looking down his and i was just ok so you're not guilty not guilty what about what about these to. slee. resting his eyes do you think they should be. i have a little camp in the chamber that's lots of. scrutinising measures i would think in this place i would be let's have a nap if i went to work so why should i love to be paid for having a kid in my office sitting there should be allowed to have a little kid in the chamber you do whatever they want as far as i'm concerned they're all gentlemen and they deserve a little bit of respect. long day they're just listening to other people all day long so they get on a bit so i let them have. the highly anticipated meeting between the united states

and north korean leaders is in jeopardy again after crude comments by donald trump's lead attorney former new york mayor rudy giuliani about kim jong un getting on his quote hands and knees. on the back on his hands in these big short which is exactly the position you want to put him in. well i'm going has yet to react to giuliani's clearly and diplomatic comments however many already fear that they may have ruined hopes for the talks this is a great way to derail the summit and humiliate the man you're about to meet with well that's the end of the singapore summit time to damn giuliani i'm trying to stop. him or the summit between the two leaders was initially confirmed by the white house back in march but in the middle of may threaten to end negotiations

probing military drills by south korea and the u. s. troops response did take too long just nine days later he canceled the meeting more twists and turns to come the very next day the white house announced talks on the summit were ongoing as pyongyang stated its will meet that on the first of june washington officially said the summit would take place is on thursday mentioned at the meeting was ready to go international china special sundry long thinks that the summit will happen anyway because both sides want it. the bottom of the story you've got to understand that this kind of meeting will happen if either side if one of the two size doesn't want it. and why president tom wants it because he wants to appear to score a victory before the elections so why is john and doing it now is because his confident that he will be able to get a good deal because he has developed his capability to deliver long distance.

missiles on u.s. home soil so once it's got that that's his insurance policy and all this rhetoric about how and need is just so kind of so serving there are two of so at the back of it all both sides want it. hundreds more homes have been destroyed in hawaii is the killer way a volcano continues to erupt although it's actually been active since way back in one thousand nine hundred three says last month it has been showing its strongest activity for decades it's larger flows now covered north point two percent of the entire territory of hawaii's big island a number of residential areas have been evacuated while the hawaii volcanoes national park has been closed. the german drug pesticides company by and yes it will complete its biggest ever

foreign takeover today spying of monsanto the biggest producer of genetically modified seeds and pesticides in the u.s. believes that the move will strengthen its portfolio given monsanto's legacy some say might not be so easy on t. samir khan explains one of the world's biggest brands and most controversial agricultural companies monsanto will soon be through this 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 monsanto name one which used to make headlines as thousands of protesters hit the streets across the globe. bit. like 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 hid that its products could cause cancer for decades. at the center of all of those lawsuits monsanto's leading herbicide round up and its main ingredients like the safe according to the international agency for research on cancer it's quote probably carcinogen a human their study has also found strong evidence of a link between life estate exposure and lymphoma. you know what provokes me about some sort of concern is poison year after year no. but you can what revolts me is that there is only us here today one center 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 the. glacier site based herbicides supported by one of the most extensive worldwide human health and environmental databases ever compiled for a pesticide product. months into his new owner has provided assurances that the merger would make things right as they are great here but if we 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 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 the 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 an entire plan to quote orchestrate they ghostwrote studies they goes wrote opinion pieces documents all sure showed that they had their own man inside the e.p.a. working quietly and been here for months and blocking additional research that might have indicated it verified that it was a core synergy so i don't know exactly what they are means by progress but it doesn't look good. but dealing with the eleven dangers of monsanto products is not the only issue bothering the public there are fears that two giant companies will form a monopoly that the farmers are. they're looking at a very big conglomerate now because monsanto was a. cheyenne 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 bayer so it's going to affect farmers if i did it will affect all of us in the long run. in a bid to win back uses trust facebook is splashing out on a series of news programs exclusively for his video streaming service. i hear you see. i'm shepard smith on facebook live with the i will circle scene as a live nightly newscast here on facebook. i. can as you just see the shows will be produced by us space media outlets from different sides of the political spectrum and you from c.n.n.

to fox news it's reported that the social media john to set aside a nine hundred million dollars budget for the project but despite its rapidly growing involvement with mainstream media back in april chief executive was reluctant to acknowledge the platforms pivotal role in the news industry which are you are you a tech company or are you the world's largest publisher or do we feel responsibility for the content on our platform the answer to that i think is clearly yes and but i don't think that that's incompatible with fundamentally at our core being a technology company where the main thing that we do is have engineers and build products. facebook claims the news outlets will have full editorial control over the programs which for now will only be available in the united states neil wallis media commentator and former news that it's a thinks so and very hard for the social media giant to navigate its way in the new field i think it's very revealing zuckerberg realizes outside his

u.s. bubble what he's doing here but he is actually putting his hands up and saying yes we are a publisher you know what it's difficult it's hard it's very difficult to strike balances and where is he going to find the expertise that he's going to get guide him through it that is not simply going to be a pale reflection of the classic north american politically correct soft left elitist metropolitan world i think it's going to be really difficult for him to do and i think it's going to be not a good thing necessarily for the facebook audience. and finally this hour an eighty five year old pensioner from northwestern russia has decided to give away his entire life savings and it's all to help others get a better start. their

sheer. damn scary horror. reached. their eyes and he's just his there are. birthrights are here whether for. a horse out or the sorrow that. he. plans. to care are doing are you.

sure so you're more a prime provider of coal miner for says. daniel when his money didn't know him before and from the documents we knew that he just turned eighty five and so we decided to get to know him. well don't you get it we could do with more like you that is all for this hour we're back in half an hour with latest updates hope to see them.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy foundation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.
