world leaders lash out at donald trump's new trade tariffs ahead of friday's g. seven summit to avoid u.s. dominance. in the world cup two three foreign policy shows the spotlight with domestic issues and sixty question and answer session with the public. and a wake up call britain's parliament the house of lords is very rated over members falling asleep during sessions but we're getting reaction from the streets of london. this place i'm going to be. if i went to work as a washington state i'd love to be paid for having a kid in my long day just listening to other people all day long. but.

very good evening to you my name is this is r t international illegal a political mistake and unacceptable that's how world leaders have lashed out at new tariffs ahead of friday's g. seven summit. the sikhs going through still the g. seven. of them the there is no global hegemony we know how to organize and. we're going to continue to depend on the industry now workers but i also know that our citizens expect us to resolve differences and show him that his actions on acceptable. but these are just the latest concerns expressed by g seven leaders

over the last week for example on wednesday german chancellor angela merkel said talks at the summit would be tough earlier i spoke to rome paul former u.s. congressman founder of the rumpole institute for peace and prosperity who believes that it will actually enjoy the upcoming g. seven summit because he thrives on conflict and knows how to come out on top. the leaders of the other six countries are going to try to be a real way are really tough on trump and make a lot of noise yet that is not the answer because trump usually wins all those types of arguments he proved it in our campaigning he just took that over and he said things and did things and controlled the media he's almost like don't cross me or are all start twittering and what you're doing better i think trump's looking forward to it because he thrives on this and i think he handled better with silence rather than playing his game or starting to say hey mr trump you're

a bad guy doing this we're going to gang up on you because i don't think they'll follow through but trump loves a battle like they're saying and i think they'll be a lot of battling there but not much will come of it in terms announcement came after brussels confirmed its commitment to the nuclear deal your promise to help its firms keep business ties to terror around however the french vehicle equipment industries association has just counseled this trip to iran amid the u.s. sanctions threat he's done you bush will explain how the white house hates you interests. e.u. solidarity and nothing but a house of cards after europe giants from energy behemoths to the makers of persia and c toy 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 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 just 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 and 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 as your top firms betray the party line or the world dodging bullets from the trump administration. from paul again 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 terrorist tariff war and i think that's a consequence of many bad policy including monetary policy so a tear for is just horrible and eventually it will hurt united states a whole lot 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 by 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. from 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 over four hours and he's going to get breaks down the highlights for us some of the things that really stood out was what

vladimir putin had to say about foreign affairs for example to me a putin recently presented a slew of super weapons we're talking here about bigger more powerful foster nuclear missiles ballistic missiles in 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 will waving your guns around to measuring anything with anyone but this is about parity this is about making sure that russia has a did. 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 it was in the spring you 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 and 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 let me putin said that they won't until we will treat each other as equals until nations learn to respect each other and to compromise then he pointed to the trade war that has just erupted between europe and the united states saying that the new

tariffs that washington has slapped on the europeans which of made them very unhappy those aren't so much tariffs as they are sanctions you know i mean you sort of 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 let me putin also spoke about the upcoming world cup jus to kick off in about a week in all over russia really and the said that the russian team lately hasn't hasn't played as well. somewhat expected and he said he hopes that now that the world cup is here they'll really show what they've got.

french piece of shit out of the new law designed to fight fake news the front spoke to several lawmakers who warned the president to bill take 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. was part of the criticism the proposed law is being heavily promoted by the president has. explained it to be. 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 of 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 this information spread 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 of the time when the law was. thought the russian with responsible for what happened the united states since then there was a lot 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 sputnik have not behaved as media outlets and journalists because. organs of influence and false propaganda. this is.

the mystery six young woman you should leave me play with. look at this it was a human with you can you trust issues. like this election. if passed the bill would allow french judges to block the publication of any information deemed to be false 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 censured by the many people in france who believe that's the truth even though it's probably not the government though it defends the initiatives saying that it has nothing to do with reducing freedom of expression

but voice it's only to protect it there is no foreign media in the country available to. what foreign media or to news which is not really widespread in france let's be honest here. to internet providers. for those are the three major internet providers and in france for those of you don't know you have t.v. . with your internet provider i don't have all to news on my t.v. so i don't have access to the 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 set 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's formally giving away its controls the bill was met with fierce

resistance on wednesday. we've gone through seventeen years of war. 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 for both of them my son probably can't find my on a map and probably very few people even in this room know who all shabaab is came korver passes that there are no limits on war let it be known that there were at least some of us who warned of the new bill six replace the two thousand and one war. 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 bill earlier claimed congress had been granting

a license to wage war for too long us media of scaf the legislators don't even know what's in their own bill and despite the bill extending the president's war powers here's what the bill's authors think about donald trump. the president has great difficulty with three. men he's proven himself. unable to rise to the occasion you know who i don't. know i wonder if donald trump. donald trump doubted lee they like the idea of the president being some sort of a king go to war when he wishes what a disconnect here you have these two and many others in washington are calling trump in 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. you know what

we give up all over we're just going to. sit in front of the camera collect our paychecks and do nothing. said to the u.k. now where members of the house of lords have been given a slap on the wrist over the behavior another has reportedly been sent out complains about shouting orders conversations and falling asleep while in the chamber. explains why palm entry snoozes a such a sensitive issue. not just members of the house of lords which is the author chamber the british parliament i've 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 last job is to scrutinise british law and that can be pretty tiring so much so that even the most hard working and conscientiously laws 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 e-mail telling them that their behavior in there 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 peers are allowed to quote lest their eyes so i'm armed with photos of sleeping lords or sleepy looking lords and i want londoners to help me determine which of these are just resting their eyes and which are most definitely

in the land of nod definitely he might be resting his they've just been told off the sleeping too much in the chamber guy's lost control of his neck so he's definitely sleeping but i think he'd be asleep and he might be resting but i don't know right and just looking down as i was just ok so you're not guilty not guilty what about what about these to. resting his eyes they should be allowed to have a little clip in the chamber that's lots of hard. scrutinizing measure and i would think this place i would be allowed and that if i went to work say washington i'd love to be paid for having a kid in my office think they should be allowed to have a little kip in the chamber to do whatever they want as far as i understand their old gentlemen they deserve a little bit respect. long day just listening to other people all day long so we're going to let them have. the u.s. secretary of state is taking a swipe at what he described as modern day tyranny the foreign policy message came

in a tweet by mike compo about the seventy fourth anniversary of d.-day during world war two that's when u.s. and allied troops landed in normandy to liberate western europe from nazi forces. the sixty's they referred to d.-day as being the turning point in the fight against the nazis without mentioning the soviet union's immense contribution to the victory bumppo also chose not to elaborate on what countries he sees as to run ical in the modern world earliest a department spokesperson how the now it also made an awkward comment using the d.-day landings as an example of the longstanding relations between the u.s. and germany but when you talk about germany we have a very strong relationship with the government of germany very strong relationship looking back in the history books today is the seventy first anniversary of the speech that now announced the marshall plan tomorrow is the anniversary of the d.-day invasion. we obviously

have a very long history with the government of germany. independent journalist feels american officials seem to be forgetting some important facts about world war two. she should review her courses in geography and above all in history and in the plot and see this is of course on d.-day the germans were on the wrong side and the americans on the good side but what strikes me in comparison iraq and her remark to it is the fact that they seem to believe that we've won the war full stop forgetting the red army if you look at the number of victims of salcha as who were killed during the war it's eight point seven million for the red army while the americans as a whole for the whole war lost only four hundred thousand men so it's twenty one times more than the american casualties and the real victories of the second world war is clearly to sort of the union and of course the americans helped second.

pillars of the allies but the second one not the first story folks. hundreds more homes have been destroyed in hawaii is the killer where volcano continues to erupt although it's actually been active since one thousand nine hundred eighty three since last month has been showing its strongest activity in decades is larger flows now cover no point two percent of the entire territory of hawaii's big island a number of residential areas have been evacuated or the hawaii volcanoes national park has been closed. puerto rico's government will release all death certificates issued since hurricane maria head in september people claim that the official number confirmed by the health ministry is far too low and you release reports as the actual death toll exceeds four thousand.

with the new hurricane season looming donald trump has promised a rapid response but the consequences of the last big storms are still being dealt with with the u.s. government accused of wasting our money on these initial sethi 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 during more attention first lady maloney in trouble just made her first appearance before the media for the first time in twenty six days 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 this where expecting the release of all deaths a typical following hurricane maria which will shed light on the real scale of the tragedy is thoughts the official 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 just the focus is still thinks his response to the hurricane. is there's it's an opportunity for us to meet

say almost by. 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 puerto rico providing some one point three billion dollars in support to survivors however some many allocations are raising questions in particular a cruise ship which was books 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 village an island survivors as of march first more than seventy million in themis individual assistance has been distributed they're reckless to survivors so how 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 committed the full use of the ship for an extended period of time whether or not fema was going to use the ship and not filled it with relief workers that wasn't bhagavan obligation this time around with the new hurricane season approaching fema may now be more prepared for the storms the troublous puerto rico's not. we asked

the u.s. federal emergency management agency to comment on the issue they said that they despond the soon as they could. with the month long festival of football that is the world cup within touching distance now the teams have been slowly making their way to russia on thursday spain landed in the southern city of krasnodar where its base camp is situated currently heading from the airport and the team's fans are eager to see the stars they gathered outside the crowds in advance stadium. for one of the great rivals has already had the opportunity to rest and begin preparations around down in moscow on tuesday and have already had a chance to train the russian soil play their opening game against morocco on the second hour of the world cup in nizhny novgorod. meanwhile football fans already busy guessing who's likely to make it through the group stages as indeed is r.t. host and will famous manager josie reno here are just some of his picks. i would
