welcome you watching r.t. international now donald trump has called for the g. eight to be reinstated with russia as a member of the group of leading industrial nations. this is. just a. rush out let's go back. we have a right to go here. ok let's get more details then from donald course he's been following what's been happening there over in the state quite a state and that wasn't unexpected to yeah absolutely well as trump was preparing to travel to canada for the g. seven summit he said that russia should be part of the g. seven summit and you know russia has been excluded since two thousand and fourteen from what used to be the g. eight after the referendum in crimea where the vast majority of people there voted
9:02 am
to be part of russia now western countries said that this was an annexation and they use this as justification for pushing russia out of what then used to be the g. eight now putin spokes person has already reacted to trump statement and he said that moscow has different formats to focus on. concerning our relations with the g seven we do not have any relationship with them in this format we participated in the adoption of the final documents which are not binding by the way i thought this had some kind of sense because we represent an alternative point of view but our partners have decided they do not need this point of view actually it's not an organization rather a club of interest. and putin is actually for a long time said that the g eight back when russia was still in it had become an exclusive club he said that the interests of the g eight wasn't representing the interests of major players in the world anymore we should remember too that donald
9:03 am
trump is saying this with the background of not being on the best of terms at the moment with canada and the yeah absolutely it's going to be a real tough gig for him especially after he established these aluminum and steel tariffs against his european allies and canada now it's brought they were the leaders of these countries were absolutely furious it's brought even some leaders to question whether the g. seven should be stripped down to even the g. six you don't maybe the american president doesn't mind being isolated today but we also don't mind being six if need be the g. seven summit seems already destined for dysfunction with a heap of complaints from the u.s. as european allies some are suggesting a name change to keep up with the times. we should have been a good night to save them to the group who challenges of the world and instead of that we would be divided between not just certain it would be a g six. it's not too hard to see where the fallout between washington and the rest
9:04 am
of the pack is coming from in just two years donald trump has caused serious problems for a major international agreements first by announcing he was ditching the paris climate accord then the iran nuclear agreement the breakthrough deal which took years to negotiate and now he's unleashed a trade war with the e.u. by slapping tariffs on their steel and aluminum. the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal the united states will withdraw from the paris climate accord of the united states has been taken advantage of other countries both friendly and not so friendly for many many decades and i'm here to protect and one of the reasons i was elected is on protecting our workers on protecting our companies even the angle of merkel who is known for maintaining her
9:05 am
cool during the worst diplomatic spats has had some strong words to share about the u.s. as recent exits this is cloud thus it is clear that especially with the exit of the u.s. from the climate deal there is dissent within the g seven just as much as with the announcement of tariffs on the i mean humans which we believe are illegal and also the issue of the iranian nuclear deal which the u.s. has withdrawn from. moreover merkel warns of this lack of compromise may lead to the g seven failing to issue a joint statement that would make this year's summit in toronto the first ever and without a communique and chances are high it will with the french president emanuel macron also rumored to be unwilling to sign a joint paper with trump unless he makes some concessions and makes an effort to mend all the multilateral deals he's jumped which most likely will not actually according to his economic advisor this row is no big deal at all. there may be
9:06 am
disagreements. i regard this as. much like a family quarrel we will do what is necessary to protect the united states its businesses and its workforce don't blame trump. blame the nations that have broken away from those conditions blame the other countries now that's what you want to hear right before a g. seven summit donald corder r.t. . well some do believe that the obvious tension at the summit at the moment will not be productive is the former u.s. presidential candidate ron paul. and maybe they think truffle back down which he might you know a lot of times look at hostile he was to north korea and all of a sudden you know his tune changed right now he might be just maneuvering they're betting on that and he has done that on foreign policy but there are certain things that he does not back down on for instance he did he campaigned on it did not back
9:07 am
down in on or on iran and that's why we're moving in this direction so maybe he'll stick to his guns on these on these tariffs. and i think it'll be interesting and more and worth watching over this weekend but i just don't think anything real positive is coming out because i don't think they talk about the real problems that cause that are our climate of hostility and trading and coming up with this but there are certain things that he does not back down on for instance he did he campaigned on it did not back down and on or on iran and that's why we're moving in this direction so maybe he'll stick to his guns on these on these tariffs but they're they're punishing us american taxpayer the american consumer is punishing al-haj so it really doesn't make any sense when the europeans spoke out after trump took us out of the nuclear agreement with iran on a whim of europeans will stand up to it this is business. now the red cross has
9:08 am
evacuated schools of its workers from yemen amid concerns for the safety of our current activities have been looked threatened and directly targeted in recent weeks and we see a vigorous attempt to instrumental eyes open a station as a pawn in the conflict. yemen civil war between who three rebels loyal to the previous government and army forces backed by a saudi led coalition has torn the country apart over the past three years according to the u.n. thousands of children have been killed or injured millions displaced and even more in need of humanitarian assistance but it has been described as the worst manmade humanitarian crisis in modern history the saudi led coalition which has been conducting the bombing campaign in the country says it always seeks to protect civilians and provides protection for aid organizations working in the country but clearly the red cross isn't happy with the situation so let's talk now to red cross
9:09 am
spokesperson require for garley maria thanks for coming on you're very welcome just firstly run through the reasons why you fought it was necessary to withdraw some of your staff. in the past weeks and especially after the killing off one of our colleagues lest. in the last month we have seen a serious that addition of the security and then we have felt also that somehow this collective responsibility of all the parties to the conflict to ensure the security of humanitarian workers has been. has let us down so now we have been forced to locate seventy one of our staff which is the majority of our international staff from across the country in yemen to djibouti why we have a back base to support the operations due to the degradation of the security situation so can you just outlined what sort of situation there are in what sort of example of you seen where your staff have been put in danger.
9:10 am
well the most striking example is that we had a colleague that was brutally murdered less than two months ago entire menu was coming out of the tension visit it doesn't get worse than that in the past two years we have also had yemeni colleagues who were shot and killed we have had an abduction of another colleague or also in the past three years this is not acceptable and there is a point where this has to stop and there is a point where all the parties to the to this conflict and then the countries that influence them have to take up their collective responsibility and i want to emphasize the fact that this is a collective responsibility of all the parties to protect the humanitarian workers but also to protect. the many many civilians that are caught in between when we say that the international committee of the red cross an institution that has an extensive experience working in front lines and working in war zones is having
9:11 am
is having to relocate its staff that just shows how bad the situation is if it's this bad for us you can imagine how bad it is for the yemenis also to. sure i'm assuming that you've raised this issue to them with the authorities what's premier response. we have continued to raise this issue in the past month we have raised it over and over and we will continue to raise it but now today we are raising that we are raising this issue in front of them in front of the entire world and in front of the countries that influence the parties to this conflict in yemen and there are many we are not talking about one party we're not talking about one country are talking about absolutely everyone yes we are raising the issue and we will continue to raise it and now it's time for everyone to take their responsibilities and can you outline to the sort of aid that you were providing before but which she won't be able to provide now because you've
9:12 am
had to withdraw your stuff. we have a wide range of humanitarian responses we do the assistance of course we have been supporting hospitals we have also been supporting a water system to help and beautified the drinking water for the for the yemeni population across across the country since the killing of i would call the kind of the who would less than two months ago we have had to look at this stuff and then we have had also to provide the response remotely from djibouti which means that it takes more time and it takes twice the effort to be able to respond to the needs this being said the situation in yemen is such that the humanitarian response alone can never accuse the situation and can never. provide all that is needed for the yemeni population today so imagine now with that it used even to mortgages to many that you have a sponsor of how difficult it's going to be sure in terms of seeing an end in sight
9:13 am
to this conflict what are your thoughts on that. well this conflict much like every conflict there is in the world is a political one. war is a political decision and then the. stop by political decisions the international committee of that class has no say about that it's up to the parties again to this i hold would start to how they and in the middle how they are conducted as well. we really appreciate your time coming on to r.t. the staff the new we do wish you all your best and your colleagues to that red cross spokesperson for girly thank you. so to me putin is in china at the moment on a state visit where he's already met with president xi jinping the two leaders as you did joint statement on regional security and cooperation meeting comes washington ramps up the pressure on both countries branding them a diverse series artie's daniel hawkins reports now from beijing. humorous to shoes to discuss on the two leaders agenda and numerous contracts and corporation
9:14 am
agreements signed by the finance investment and commercial ministers of both countries as well as officials ranging from energy supplies with the russians agreeing to build parts of a nuclear reactor in china to even space exploration something according to mr putin quite unprecedented in the country's external affairs this was cemented by the leader's close personal relationship something both were keen to advertise with putin stating that even spent one of his recent birthdays with his chinese counterpart the crisis on the korean peninsula was another key topic of course given both countries proximity to north korea and the upcoming summit between president trump and north korean leader kim jong moon with both leaders stating they had a clear road to a peaceful and stable peninsula. we discussed the situation on the korean peninsula russia and china are interested in peace and stability on the korean peninsula and in northeast asia is bracing to see that the in the korean talks are being conducted within the framework of the crisis solution roadmap proposed by russia
9:15 am
and china recent contacts between russia and the north korean confirm pyongyang's aspirations for constructive work there are nuclear deal and ongoing conflict in syria were another two topics up for discussion with both leaders stating their views coincided on how to go about resolving them namely making every effort to keep the iran nuclear deal alive and maintain a stable government in syria to avoid further escalation in that conflict so both leaders will now head to the shanghai cooperation organization summit we'll bring you full updates as and when we get there as well. now a nursery rhyme at a kindergarten in massachusetts has provoked shock from parents as the words are all about surviving a mass shooting those who run the school defended the move saying it's just the world we live in with more details now his see america. imagine picking up your five year old from kindergarten and seeing a strange nursery rhyme to the wall
