the. president retract his support for a joint statement of the g. seven summit in canada the meeting ended in disarray amid growing tensions with washington. rules based international older. be phased slave market then go to the us maybe the american president doesn't mind being isolated today but we also don't mind being six if need be and in the stories that shaped the week the pentagon admits the civilian death toll in syria's racker may never be no after being accused of possible war crimes there and football's biggest stars lionel messi and cristiano ronaldo together with their national teams arrive in russia ahead of the world cup which kicks off in just four days time.

for the world in the latest developments in a look back at what's been happening over the last seven days to you watching a weekly here on r.t. international. now the g. seven summit in canada has ended as it started with tension between the u.s. and its main allies shortly after leaving the meeting donald trump abandoned his endorsement of the summit joint communiqué via twitter he accused the canadian prime minister of making false statements over u.s. tariffs on metal imports justin trudeau described the reasoning behind them as frankly insulting and that sort trumped describe canada's response as dishonest and weak the trade was not the only issue dividing trump and the other g seven leaders . i would rather see russia in the g eight as opposed to the jew so i. i would say that the g eight

is a more meaningful group than the g seven absolutely. here we all agreed that a return of russia to the g seven format summits can happen until substantial progress has been made in connection with the problems with ukraine canada's position is absolutely clear that there are no grounds whatsoever for bringing russia with its current behavior into the g seven if there will be any conversations about russia's future in relation to this particular group they have to change their ways they have to change the route that they're taking on the sort of activity. involved in.

what it is about it's no surprise the summit today and in disarray given that it was riddled with divisions from the very start its own quarter expects. we don't maybe the american president doesn't mind being isolated today but we also don't mind being six if need be the rules they used in the us for the. market to go to the us the g seven june 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 united to england 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 why it's not too hard to see where the fallout between washington and the

rest 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 the united states has been taken advantage of by 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 as i'm protecting our workers on protecting our companies even the angle of merkel who is known for maintaining her cool during the worst diplomatic spats has had some strong words to share about the

u.s. as recent exits. 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 mean human steel which we believe are illegal and also the issue of the iranian nuclear deal which the u.s. has withdrawn from. there may be 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. plane 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 the nation trip between you will be leaders and so u.s. president is better that. no ideas because also the jobs as subjects we are talking about that these lesions would be better if we have.

not only covered with the toes we have covered on almost every subject and lived between the buses and washington so you'll be in your mean and united states who become bigger and bigger. meanwhile there is another summits going on in china at the moment it does involve the leaders of multiple eurasian nations including the host nation and also russia and their russian president vladimir putin was asked by journalists about those relationship with the g seven. look so it was very concerning the return of russia to you g eight we never left it our colleagues at the time refused to come to russia for the known reasons but we still welcome them and everyone in moscow concerning the comparison of the g. seven and the su oh the purchasing parity of a c.e.o. countries is bigger yes g seven countries are richer but the scale of the economy

is bigger in the su countries but it is possible questions to the russian president surrounding the g. seven meeting were perhaps inevitable given the public it's received over the past day or two and given that russia was of course a key topic of that meeting and also a key topic of disagreements and bickering among the g seven leaders mr putin effectively extended an olive branch to those nations stating that russia was always willing to host those members in his capital moscow for further discussions he also touched upon the speculation of his upcoming meeting with the us president donald trump agreeing with the president that this would be something that would be very much constructive and useful in the current climate and also stating that he shares many of the concerns his u.s. counterpart has. in our last conversation he expressed concern over the threat of a new arms race i agree with him but in order to discuss historically we need our

foreign ministries and experts working closely with each other and of course we need to have personal meetings as soon as we can we will be touching briefly upon the summit itself mr putin said it had been highly productive in its new format of course we knew in new members india and pakistan joining for the first time as fully fledged at n.d.s. with a whole range of agreements signed from economic political and security cooperation as well as the russian president said it was vital that this regional cooperation and dialogue does take place in order to decide in order to work on those regions. issues but also by international issues of course the crisis in the north korean peninsula the iran nuclear deal crisis with. the leader rewarding here that had a meeting with mr putin as well as well as of course the ongoing syrian conflict so very much a productive summit according to the russian president. and holkins there now it

has been a year since the official launch of the operation to liberate the syrian city of racker from islamic state terrorists they had made it the capital of their self-proclaimed caliphate well to coincide with the anniversary amnesty international released a new report on the situation in the devastated city and accuse the u.s. led coalition of relentless air and artillery strikes and even said it may have committed war crimes according to the coalition itself though the real number of civilians killed in the battle for iraq will never be known as far as how do we know how many civilians were killed i'm just being honest no one will ever know anyone who claims they all know is lying. it. was getting to the bottom of what was really happening in iraq as the americans and allies were freeing it who will be bothered to do that or it will

take ages the prose of war behind these walls may have thought but scrutiny was inevitable coalition claims that its precision campaigns allowed it to bomb islamic state out of record while causing very few civilian casualties do not stand up to scrutiny based on information from amnesty international's field investigation and public reporting coalition air and artillery strikes killed hundreds of civilians and injured many more open amnesty's report and you'll find words like this proportionate indiscriminate bombing the use of white phosphorous claim. which could turn into a reputational disaster if proven things that amount to war crimes the u.s. led coalition mission to free iraq a went on for more than four months from june sixth took tobar twelfth last year and the pentagon proudly told the world they'd fired thirty five thousand artillery

rounds while they were at it they fired more rounds and rockets syria than any other marine artillery battalion or any marine or army battalion since the vietnam war yet we kept hearing from those whose orders matter how cautious they war there is no military in the world's history that is paid more attention to the limited should believe we should get the benefit from the battlefield and the coalition military are not perfect guys we can make a mistake and in this kind of warfare are ready to happen but we are the good guys and munitions people on a battlefield know the difference you can't help wondering how many innocent locals general mattis has actually met i'm sure you can find many of those who are genuinely grateful to the coalition for kicking myself out but just compare his words to some of the witness accounts our team heard while in iraq the mistake that in effect in washington that we were directly targeted by the coalition after their

recognizance craft filmed this it was a low altitude it was very clear there were no terrorists in the area but there were kids playing in the streets and we were collecting water and i knew that i thought i knew that if the aircraft boehm using force for us it targets everyone it is not his and i so the coalition is boman randomly if you're sitting at home a bone may come down on you there are houses that collapsed on their residence and they couldn't get out all this happened because of the aircraft and they were plane comes in strikes for instance a five story building i said would be on the second floor while civilians on the third and fourth floors how comes the planes still see. most civilians died tonight from terrorists and we weren't alone in hearing those whirring calls from that devastated syrian city humanitarian groups on high alert had many more horrors to share with us and the rest of the world there are worries about how this operation will affect civilians we're concerned about the safety and protection of more than

four hundred thousand people in iraq as these operations commence we've investigated it was. not a year in coalition authority so you actually believe that the actual number report about who is under reported if you thought any of that led to a change of tactics by the coalition or at least an apology i'll have to tell you they seal that themselves from scrutiny with monthly casualty reports we've been largely focusing on the fate of rock of civilians in our coverage and nationals now weighed in with some serious work it could be high time we hear something new from the u.s. pros of war. phillipe are trying to get there but we did try to get some reaction on this from humanitarian organizations the international committee for the red cross said it repeatedly expressed concern for the safety of rackets of aliens

during the city's liberation while the u.n. agency for children said it had no information on the matter meanwhile middle east expert joshua landis told us that more could have been done to save civilian lives i don't doubt that the united states has used efforts great efforts not to kill people but in the end they were not true they were in a hurry the un asked them multiple times to give a break so that civilians could get out they didn't want to negotiate with us they said we're going to kill them on the battlefield they didn't want them as prisoners in another guantanamo since the gulf war. nine hundred ninety the first gulf war the united states constantly insists that it didn't care about the enemy it didn't know how many were killed and it wasn't going to try to find out later on there were some investigations but by and large that has been the protocols of the u.s. which is not to count the enemy and to and to try to keep it secret really watching out internationally there are only four days left before the fifth world cup kicks

off here in russia and already some footballing superstars have a right table tell you hey just after the break. the legacy call guys are. the winners the legacy oil guys are the winners the legacy all central bankers are the winners innovation you dynamism the constitution the bill of rights these are the losers in this america.

their domestic space see a scene from will brawl to finish first. the fight to finish second. and go for a surprise come on australia let's finish cycles. and in group the last thing the little fellow will finish first. is what is going to be hard for an african team. so will be brazil in the name of teachers who go on holiday so switzerland who finished second i'm sort of the one that was in italy. and in the group in germany who in. mexico should just seconds. to go well gee come on england and i think the belgian who finished second. finally group the church for the balances on the goal to win the group. and fall and finish second. will have

so much expertise from jews i believe you don't miss it or not see. what if you like that you feel like testing your knowledge up against the mighty marine yag you had online to facebook or twitter and follow the hash tag team match marino there will be that three rounds predictions to make from the group stage of its. now international teams meanwhile have started to arrive for football showpiece event including two of the world's best players will recognize milan messi here argentina as was one of the recent teams to arrive while cristiana analogous portugal landed in moscow just before them argentina will face iceland on saturday for their first group stage match in portugal play rival neighbors and twenty ten world champions spain in sochi on friday the first match of the tournament takes place on june the fourteenth of moscow's luzhniki stadium between russia and saudi arabia. now thirty two nations will battle it out to get their

hands on the world cup a trophy made of eighteen karat gold the legendary cup has been passed on from winner to winner for many years now before the championship in russia it made a grand tour to across the country and even made it to the studios here. the winning team will lift this exact trophy above their heads and this is the one that they keep only for a short while. for the ultimate possession they get a so called the so called winners trophy which it looks like exactly this one but only made up for a bronze and it's a gold plated bronze. indeed this is the one in on li made of eighteen karat solid gold. official fee for

a world cup trophy and only heads of state and people will come can touch this magnificent full door prize. trophy traveled from kaliningrad to vladivostok literally a massive geography we estimated that around fourteen million people live in the nearest proximity to the cities where the traffic visited. beautiful trophy isn't it you can follow all the world cup news events and analysis to here in our take throughout the competition. now the f.b.i. has seized the e-mails and phone records of a new york times reporter as it moves to plug ongoing leaks of classified information the issue has come to a head under the trumpet ministration that is r.t.

thinking are now explains it does date back long before there. trump's white house has a serious problem it's leaking a shocking secret memo leaked to the new york times white house's most prolific leakers all the weeks we get out of the way else why this white house leaks and all the reasons it's hit there's always so much fun in this white house is so leaky there is even leaks about why they're leaking and so in an effort to deal with the issue it's just funny to move on from its fatigue to war of words with the media and show a bit of muscle wrong with the press. but we. are also we were. very. well charms verbal disputes with the press have become commonplace his latest step can be seen as a watershed moment that is crossing the line into spying on journalists now at the center of this is new york times reporter allie watkins whose phone and e-mail

records were secretly seized amid a justice department investigation into this guy james a wolf a former high ranking ate at the senate intelligence committee who suspected of leaking classified information to reporters and he also happens to be the former boyfriend of what kids during their three year romance that what kids they excelled in her career even being shortlisted for a pulitzer her skills in gauging tipoffs from elusive unnamed sources were praised by her university breaking national story was the direct result of tips she received through unnamed sources with whom she's developed trusting relationships she denies ever using her former lover as a source however now some of her old tweets are coming back to haunt her i wanted to be zoe barnes until episode four sleeping with your source especially in the decks of congressman gary gray area ethically legally which i'm ok with orange of

the washington heralding a source close to the president on exactly sure how we are. actually i want to go over i'm sorry mr president but i will not do that. given to me. well. so on a scale of one to ethical how does everyone feel about pulling a real zoe barnes for story ideas for media rights groups however what we're seeing here is trump's latest push to demonize journalists a move which represents a true declaration of war on the press we believe that the government seizure of. data sets a dangerous precedent we fear it could be an opening salvo in an ongoing battle over reporters' ability to protect their sources but such intimidation tactics all reporters are actually nothing new investigations into journalists on their sources were heavily ramped up under trump's previous s.-a in fact under president obama

the justice department prosecuted more leak cases then all previous administrations combined so perhaps it's time for everything on using this old spiel journalist shine a light on many issues around the world keeping citizens informed prompting robust debate discuss discussion we certainly face that here and holding governments accountable we honor the many journalists and media professionals who have dedicated their lives to the profession we see all too often that journalists continue to take great risks to pursue this important work. finally a petition to save a pregnant cow from execution has garnered almost twenty eight thousand signatures the animal from bulgaria accidentally crossed the border and back prompting the authorities to order the eat her extermination as a precautionary measure however the could be a ray of hope though because the bulgarian food safety agency now you say she has passed all health checks.
