iraq maybe it's time for the united states to start working out for whole. world leaders lash out of new trade tariffs ahead of friday's g. seven summit to avoid to u.s. dominance. for the world cup the world war three foreign policy shares the spotlight with domestic issues during virginia putin sixteenth q. and a session with the public. in time for a wake up call the british parliament's upper chamber the house of lords is berated over members falling asleep during sessions we'll get reaction from the streets of london. this place i would be less than that if i went to work say washington i'd love to be paid for having it in my long day or just listening to other people all day long so. let them have a. very

good evening to you my name's neil harvey this is art international. illegal a political mistake and unacceptable that's how world leaders of lashed out at the new tariffs ahead of friday's g. seven summit. the sikhs going through so the g. seven. of them the there is no global hegemony we know how to organize and even we're going to continue to depend on the industry in our work is that i also know that our citizens expect us to result differences and show him that his actions on acceptable. but these are just the latest concerns expressed by g seven tons of devices we called wednesday german chancellor angela merkel said in the summit would be tough earlier i spoke to rome he's a former u.s. congressman and the founder of the roman paul institute for peace and prosperity he

believes the trial will actually enjoy the upcoming g. seven summit because he thrives on conflict and knows how to come out on top on 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 i'll start twittering and what you're doing that i think trumps looking forward to it because he thrives on this and i think he handled better with silence rather than playing his game 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 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. troublous move to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum from european countries came after brussels confirmed its commitment to the iran nuclear deal europe promised to help its firms keep business ties to tehran for the french vehicle equipment industries association has just cancelled its trip to iran that's amid the u.s. sanctions threat artist on your bushel explains how the white house e.u. 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. sort of in support of 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 their 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 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 is the small matter of friday's g seven or is that g 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 dettori some steel and 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 even 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 ron paul again fear is america's latest moves against one of his closest allies will eventually backfire in a big way it is

a serious problem what's going on especially if one does not like terrorists or tariff war and i think as a consequence of many bad policy including monetary policy so a tariff war is just horrible eventually it will hurt your eyes they saw what they're promising 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 wrapped up his annual televised q. and a with the public today lasted over four hours on his blog 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 viewer 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 of on 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. here another particularly worried. that timea putin how close we are to world war

three when the sperm you change the in the 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 so 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 and till 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 of 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 let 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 french employees of hit out of the new law

that's designed to fight fake news on t front spoke to several lawmakers who warn that the president macro back to bill takes the country in a dangerous direction. the problem is in force meant 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 gazed freedom of speech on or despite all the criticism the proposal or is being heavily promoted by the president as r.t. charlotte dubin ski explains. it. is a basic freedom is the freedom of expression which always comes with the freedom of conscience and the fault 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 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. everybody thought the russian with responsible for 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 because organs of influence and false propaganda. this is.

the missing six young woman so you should. look at this it was like about him with american troops this would be. the solution. if passed the bill would allow french judges to block the publication of any information deemed to be head of elections not definitely false but. how efficient can these measures be welcome back because basically. they're going to point everybody's attention. and there is no way you can censor efficiently the internet so everybody will be looking for this century news and because it's censured many many people in france who believe that the truth even though it's probably not the government though it just spends the initiative saying that it has nothing to do with reducing freedom of expression but vice versa it's only to protect kids 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 in france for those of you don't know you have t.v. . with your internet provider i don't have art in use on my computer 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. the us a clue so it has taken a swipe at all he described his modern day tyranny the foreign policy message came in a tweet by mike pompei about the seventy fourth anniversary of d.-day during the second world war that's when u.s. and allied troops landed in normandy to liberate western europe from nancy forces

secretary of state referred to the days being the turning point in the fight against the nazis didn't mention the soviet union's immense contribution to the victory on pay also chose not to elaborate on what countries he sees as being tyrannical in the modern world earlier state department spokesperson how the now it also made an awkward comment using the d.-day landings as an example of the long standing relations between the us in 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 and. we obviously have a very long history with a government of germany independent journalists who grieve a feels that american officials seem to be forgetting some important facts about

world war two should review courses in geography and above all in history and in the plot mostly because 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 soldiers 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 last only four hundred thousand men so it's twenty one times more than the american casualties and the real victory of the second football is clearly the soviet union and of course the americans helped there of second. pillars of the allies but the second one not the first story folks. but head to the u.k.

now where members of the house of lords have been given a slap on the wrist over their behavior a memo has reportedly been sent out that complaints about shouting orders will conversations conform in his sleep while in the chamber artie's political explains why parliamentary snoozes sounds lovely 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 pay is 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 mam 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 on which all most definitely in the land of knowledge 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 rescued when i don't know right and just looking down is to me i was just ok so you're not guilty not guilty what about what about these to. the. rest of his eyes they should. be allowed to have a little clip in the chamber that's lots of her. in there scrutinizing measure and i would think this place i would be let's have a nap if i went to work so why should i'd love to be paid for having a kid in my after his sleeping they should be allowed to have a little kid in the chamber you do whatever they want as far as i'm concerned they're old gentleman and deserve a little bit respect. long day they're just listening to other people all day long so they get on a bit let them have. hundreds more homes have been destroyed in hawaii is the killer way of volcano continues to erupt it's actually been active since nine hundred eighty three but since last month it's been showing its

strongest activity for decades it's lava flows now cover nor point two percent of the and higher territory of hawaii's big island a number of residential areas have been evacuated the hawaii volcanoes national park that has been closed. german drug and pesticides company bio will complete its biggest ever foreign takeover today it's buying up monsanto the biggest producer of genetically modified seeds and post the sides in the u.s. by a belief that the move will strengthen his portfolio given monsanto's legacy some are saying it might not be that easy to smear a car as mine. one of the world's biggest brands and most controversial are cultural 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 the one which used to make headlines as thousands of protesters hit the streets across the globe.

repeat. this. point 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 curse of the genic to humans their study has also found strong evidence of

a link between life estate exposure and lymphoma. you know they vote what provokes me about some surveys that is dishonest poison year after year nobody cares what results mean is that there is only l.c. it's day one since it has been implicated in the scandal in various ways court documents released last year showed that monsanto manufactured scientific studies and bribed a scientist to publish them but at the same time the company claims that round up the state. based have the sites supported by one of them. extensive world wide human health and environmental databases ever compiled for pesticide products. months into his new owner has provided assurances that the merger would make things right as they are great here pick out . the dip in our 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 round up is safe well they've been doing that 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 the ghost wrote studies they ghost wrote opinion pieces documents all 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 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 could be farmers are. they're looking at a very big conglomerate now because month santo was a shi'a and there 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 sexualize and one or maybe two of the functions of bayer so it's going to affect farmers quite it will affect all of us in the long run. in a bid to win back users trust facebook is splashing out on a series of news programs that are exclusively for its video streaming service. i. i i i'm shepard smith on facebook live with i will circle

scene and slide nightly newscast here on fees i i i. well as you've seen there the shows will be produced by us based media outlets from different sides of the political spectrum ranging from c.n.n. to fox news it's reported to the social media giant is set aside a ninety million dollars budget for the project but despite its rapidly growing involvement with mainstream media back in april chief executive mark zuckerberg was reluctant to acknowledge the platform's pivotal role in the news industry which are you are you a tech company or are you the world's largest publisher 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 yet at our core being a technology company where the main thing that we do is have engineers and build products facebook claims that the news outlets will have full editorial control

over the programs which for now will only be available in the u.s. neil wallis media commentator and former news editor thinks that it's going to prove hard for the social media giant to navigate in this new field. i think it's very revealing whether zuckerberg realizes outside he's 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 softer 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. an eighty five year old
