tensions are high had a friday's g. seven summit in canada with world leaders engaging in tough talk over new u.s. tariffs and trump saying he is ready to fight over the issues. from the world cup to world war three foreign policy shares in the spotlight with domestic issues during. sixteen q. and a session with the public. and time for a wake up call the british parliament's upper chamber the house of lords is rated over members falling asleep during sessions we get reaction on the streets of london. i would. say well. i'd love to be paid for having a. long day just listening to other people all day long getting on a bit.

or broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is r.t. international i'm shawn thomas glad to have you with us now world leaders are arriving for the two thousand and eighteen g. seven summit set to take place this friday in canada but as prime minister theresa may touched down recently as as she stepped onto the tarmac she announced the european union would take reciprocal measures in response to new u.s. trade tariffs and she was not the only one to criticize the tears french president emmanuel arrived earlier and has already held a joint press conference with canada's justin trudeau and if their remarks are any indication the upcoming g seven discussions may be a little tense here is what the leaders said head of the summit. but that the other six countries of the g said. and are

a bigger market than the us there is no global hegemony if we know how to organize ourselves we don't maybe the american president doesn't mind being isolated today but we also don't mind being six if need be we're going to continue to defend our industry now workers but i also know that our citizens expect us to result differences and show him that his actions on acceptable. and it seems like donald trump himself is preparing for a tough atmosphere at the g. seven he has tweeted that he is ready for a fight with his fellow world leaders over the issue of trade later he tweeted that france and canada themselves are charging the us massive terrorists but that he is looking forward to meeting macron internal recently we've heard much concern from e.u. politicians who called trump's tariffs illegal a political mistake and unacceptable this is very unfortunate between not just seven it would be a g six indeed if they succeeded in all of. the problem if if your

closest friend for the earlier we heard from ron paul from the former u.s. congressman and the founder of the ron paul institute for peace and prosperity he believes trump will actually enjoy the upcoming g. seven summit because he thrives on conflict and well knows how to come up on top. the leaders of the other six countries are going to try to be a really a 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 of starting to say hey mr trump you're

a bad guy why are you 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 this and i think they'll be a lot of battling there but not much will come of it. 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 for more than four hours or days but i've got to break 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 putin recently presented a snood of super weapons we're talking here about bigger more powerful foster nuclear missiles but they stick 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 oven 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 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 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 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 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 m.p.'s have hit out at a new law designed to fight fake news r.t. france spoke to several lawmakers who warn that the government back to bill takes the country into a dangerous direction. the problem is in force ment 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 gaist freedom of speech on are we going to ban and when russia today and sputnik if you want to ban what comes from the outside looking like fake news or what is coming from channels belonging to foreign governments you're not out of the woods yet it will be necessary to watch the b.b.c. morning and evening you better watch out just here every day and maybe some others will start to monitor france twenty four france twenty four may broadcast information that would be in the interests of the french. well despite all the criticism the proposed law is being heavily promoted by the president as artie's fellow dubinsky explained. it. is a basic freedom is the freedom of expression which always comes with the freedom of conscience and the fort 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 the time when the law was. thought the russian with responsible for the united states since there was some 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 an. enormous success to be a moment if you. look obviously we're talking about them with american lives if you put it. like this election. it's passed the bill would allow french judges to block the publication of any information deemed to be both ahead of elections not definitely false but. how efficient can these measures be welcome back because basically. they'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 century news and because it's censured many many people in france who believe that's the truth even though it's probably not the government just spends the initiative 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. i mean what foreign media can use 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 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 meanwhile paris has witnessed massive street protests against the reforms introduced by president and also against privatization of public services.

school and university students rallied on thursday voicing their opposition against stricter entry requirements for oversubscribed university courses among them were railway and postal workers who marched against new regulations impacting french railways. switching gears to the u.k. now where members of the house of lords have been given a slap on the wrists over their behavior memo has reportedly been sent out complaining about shouting audible conversations and falling asleep while in the chamber boyko explains why parliamentary snoozes are 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 you march

third 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 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 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 rescued when i don't know all right i'm just looking down as any 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 camp in the chamber that sorts of. thing a nice scrutinising legislation i would think in this place i would be let's have it and not before i went to work say why should they i'd love to be paid for having a campaign in my office sitting there should be allowed to have a little cape in the chamber you do whatever they want to use in their old

gentleman and they deserve a little bit of respect. long day just listening to other people all day long so we're going to let them have. four police officers in the us state of arizona have been put on paid leave after a video showed them beating an unarmed black man last month bit of a word of warning you may find the following images disturbing a group of policemen are seen attacking a man as he stands against the wall at an apartment complex a man does not appear to resist as he is punched repeatedly including while lying on the floor has been identified as thirty three year old robert johnson the police were called because his friend was allegedly trying to enter his ex-girlfriends apartment the local police chief says johnson refused to follow officers commands the things that he said and leaning against the wall made the office feel as though they needed to have a sit down and so when he didn't sit down. we apply force. the local

police association has criticised the release of the video as it has no sound and thus does not give the full picture the message police department has also made headlines in the past the video that we're about to run next shows the arrest of an eighty four year old woman and was blurred before being released. if you want the if you. do not. the do the right. the woman's family claims of the officers told them that she had slipped a police later said that they were attempting to move her to a safer area another video released back in december provoked a wave of outrage showing police shooting an unarmed man in an arizona hotel the officer was acquitted of murder and manslaughter charges again the following pictures may be disturbing. to the new.

the case tried to talk to the shape of the of. john the. state's paula. we talked to dominic izzo a former police officer and candidate for sheriff in cook county illinois he believes there was no justification for the level of force method police used in the latest incident. we have to have police officers are using their brains a little bit more i don't harbor some pro police but it's not doing law enforcement any favor to do it to have videos like this released and they're not going anywhere it doesn't matter what race what gender or what culture the subject was it doesn't matter if the subject had said no i'm not sitting down i refused to obey any one of your commands it was it was an excessive amount of force that we do is i can't get

behind any any support whatsoever you strikes on a subject like that. u.s. secretary of state has taken a swipe at what he described as modern day tyranny foreign policy message came in a tweet by my pump a zero of the seventy fourth anniversary of d. day during world war two that is when u.s. and allied troops landed in normandy to liberate western europe from nazi forces and the secretary of state referred to d.-day as the turning point in the fight against the nazis and not mentioning the soviet union's immense contribution to the victory and to pump ale also chose not to elaborate on what countries he sees as tyrannical in the modern world earlier state department spokesperson heather nauert 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 a lucrative a feels american officials seem to be forgetting some important facts about world war two. should refuse her courses in geography and above all in history and in the plot and say this is of course on the day the germans were on the wrong side and the americans on the good side but what strikes me in comparison iraq and i remarked 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 lost only four hundred thousand men so it's twenty one times more than the american casualties and the realistic truths of the second football is clearly the soviet union and of course the americans helped to second. pillars i'd say off the allies but the second one not the first story folks. in a bid to win back users trust facebook is splashing out on a series of news programs exclusively for its video streaming service. i. i. m shepard smith on facebook live with the fox i will circle seen as a live nightly newscast here on face. i.

well as you just saw there the shows will be produced by u.s. based media outlets from different sides of the political spectrum from c.n.n. to fox news it is reported that the social media giant has 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 platforms 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 at our core being a technology company where the main thing that we do is have engineers and build products facebook claims in the news outlets will have full editorial control over the programs which for now will only be available in the us neil wallace media commentator and former news editor thinks it is going to prove hard for the social

media giant to navigate the new field. i think it's very revealing and whether zuckerberg realizes outside his us bubble what he's doing here but he is actually putting his hands up and saying yes we are a publisher you know well 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 seems through it does not simply going to be a pale reflection of the classic north american politically correct so far left elitist metropolitan world i think is 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. with the month long festival of football that is the world cup almost within our grasp the

teams are slowly making their way here to russia on thursday spain landed in the southern city of president daraa where its base camp is situated and the team's fans are eager to see their stars they've gathered outside the president our stadium. but one of their group rivals has already had the opportunity to rest and begin preparations iran touched down in moscow on tuesday and they've already had a chance to train on russian soil and they will play their opening game against morocco on the second day of the world cup in the. meanwhile football fans are already busy guessing who is likely to make it through the group stages as is r t host and world famous manager jose marino here are some of his picks. i would say the word is really the we need to go. there experience to play is that of the right going to be. in the group be. a little show

relate to the saying so to the portuguese are you going to finish second in the world. for more of the manchester united manager is predictions you can head to our web site r t dot com also if you think you know better you can challenge him just to head to our facebook or twitter pages and use the hash tag match or and. physical story for you an eighty five year old pensioner from northwestern russia has decided to give away his entire life savings and all to help others get a better start. their sheer. damn scary horror.

just because there are. birthright sat there for. a horse out there sorry that. he. plans are so very more daycare or do you. just roll it over to us so you're more of our provider of cold mother. than you might when you smarmy but 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. and that does a from the back of the top the hour with more news you are watching our two international students.

evarist. as it stands now the united states north korea's summit is on and slated to happen next week is to trump has softened his tone on the north korean leader and kim jong

un has removed several of his top hardline military advisors what's it all mean and one can the world expect when these two mecurio leaders meet face to face i'm going to go one on one with the former director of national intelligence john negroponte for his take on this edition of politics. who to volunteer again on larry king after several fits and starts the historic summit between the united states and north korea appears to be back on slated to begin next week in singapore after months of heavy rhetoric from both sides american president donald trump has toned down his criticisms and threats directed that kim jong un and the north korean leader in turn has removed a couple of his hardline advisors who intelligence officials believe would have

fought against any concessions about the future of the hermit nation's nuclear weapons program what can we expect from the meeting in singapore what will be considered success for mr trump let's talk about that with john negroponte a great american formerly served as the u.s. deputy secretary of state was the first ever director of national intelligence attend that this is by george w. bush he also served as u.s. ambassador to iraq the u.n. the philippines mexico and honduras the end besler joins me from washington mr ambassador what's your assessment of the administration's handling of this whole korean situation so far. well mercurial is right i mean it's been kind of up and down but it seems to be in a good place right now larry and looks like the meeting is going to go forward i think the president's right to try and manage expectations you can't solve

everything overnight but you could have a meeting that gives us a sense of direction where these talks are going to go and of course what we want to see is the denuclearization of the korean peninsula and i think that the real big question is is kim jong un the leader of north korea prepared to give up his nuclear program in exchange for a peace treaty and restoration an end to the korean war on that peninsula and reintegration with the global economy including trade with the united states japan korea south korea and so forth his get it's going to be interesting his getting rid of those three in town hawks in north korea and going to more in the middle is that encouraging well you know i don't want to read.
