well back on track for the first of june washington officially announced that the summit would go ahead after all so quite the rollercoaster ride let's go live to dr patton one of the senior lecturer in politics and international relations are university in england welcome to the program now that you've been watching what's been happening in singapore with an expert keen eye how would you then assess the agreement between the two leaders is kim jong un got the better deal here the u.s. is making sessions korea has. yes i think that is quite the tipping point in the whole course of course. today i think it is indeed bring some very good prospect of the denuclearization of the korean peninsula so i'm trying to dump the agreement of four simple points i think point number one goal for us and north korea has a three to end the confrontational relationship and move forward for peace and cooperation the second point is they're willing to appeal a piece rush him through considering signing

a peace treaty which will involve solve korea and china no more three completes the nuclear isolation not the korean peninsula is not agreed by all the united states or north korea this is actually quite different from deval version where you were never stays force only asking for the nuclearization of north korea not least the entire north. the entire korean peninsula now finally i notice that all agrees to recover and we patrie the remains of the war prisoners during the korean war now dead many in private pyongyang agreeing to let the us government to enter is turtoni for the surges so i think that looks like a thirty eight different kind of picture we can looking ahead we're going to have amazing if you come to think of it if that actually pays off i think people are

picked up on missing words and they're stale why do you think mr trump dropped his insistence on verifiable denuclearization which was the what were the past few days . yeah i think you're right there is a strategic goal trist of mr trump thinking i think what he's now doing is actually finding a middle way for ensuring america's national security by trying to get into a deal with north korea and we effect some call and straining effect on north korea along the way of the talk now of debt means even the nuclearization will not be complete or do you know just days has a hand on piano from now on. one of the key things for north korea of course was ending of the war game into it pledged to do do you think he'll stick to it he did call them provocative yesterday on top of that we know he thinks they're also extremely expensive will he stick to it what will be the consequences if he doesn't

well i think. as fast we know i don't think he's asking you know the stage to entirely withdraw the troops from the korean pyongyang is asking to remove all the nuclear weapons or did you notice those from the korean peninsula so in decades i think for donald trump to promise stop the war games is actually a gesture to saying that we are willing to cooperate and it would be depends on how to join only you're going to behave in the future and the future will be for all of our different kinds of different kind of talks working meetings and which i'm sure it will involve japan china and other countries such as russia talking of those other countries how do you think this is going to go down with the neighbors and others in the region do you think they'll be concerned over this special bond if one has indeed developed or will they be glad that some of the been taken out. why

i think in general the neighbors will be glad some of the heat will be taken over but i'm also sure quite sure there are regional players such as china and japan who also like to actively engage in this process sold out debt interest would not be neglected in the future. deals so what's next because if they're exhausting journey just to get to their stays they've signed or seems to be the next step but where from here their promises are they got to keep how do they keep the momentum going. yes and i think the signature of the state might be already sent out he is very look forward to all. the next specific working meetings with the north korean counterpart so dave you are an old. concret steps that will lead to the new york your isolation so

he is expecting pyongyang we do polls. all process will be in the water and. in the fall we was such as lifting part of the sentence such as encouraging more investment into north korea not all these have to work with. quite patience the and i think these countries they are fully aware that it takes time. and what about in terms of the language are getting is they've been colorful they've been under play magic a timing thing they can have to compare let's sing a little bit more in the coming weeks and months. yes i think in the coming weeks and months i think it is. advisable to keep. the voices down and trying to speak in a nice word nice way to each other so don't keep these all ruling to.

the korean peninsula let's hope so but we know anything can happen in this day and age for now though dr patton among senior lecturer in politics and international relations above university in england i really appreciate a thought on this afternoon thank you. or here's some of the other reaction from the region's key players china commended donald trump and kim jong un for making history the summit south korea also hailed what it sees as a new way forward to pan though said the pressure needs to be kept on the north until concrete steps towards denuclearization are scenes of a fairly mixed picture from the neighbors around there. is just two days until the footballing world turns all of its focus to russia for the start of the world cup fans are hoping a guessing which one of the thirty two nations will lift the trophy in moscow on july the fifteenth and our very own r.t. host considered one of the very best minds in the game show say marino has been

making his predictions and last week he picked the countries to make it out of the group stage and now he's mapping out who will get the upper hand in the early knockout round. lies get even harder portugal why of course the scores because of my heart's blood gets. rid itself and that's and then spain against russia by saying push are very unlikely the draw because in your review. from just the same and then from this against nigeria i would say. the funniest is going to win and the substance in australia. and i'm going to

leave because i cannot see or think this will hold brazil mexico. i like. brazil team szymon the swedes so that. you get a good. team with poland's in with the news in the forefront in the bills and send the girl of like good enough to continue the front with i cannot do it's. just old belgium is the. whole city i mean do you feel all of this has to be here look at all this work we get told to do you believe you are getting this famous indian will. the players steam. the feeling it's a good team. needs that's the. ideal for them. where is the reason when it's big. enough but for me the man plays a role in the whole leaving. fans germany. and germany is german

so. one more time the final for germany. look at this to south america that we grew up with. to be ashamed to be. really. really the sister of those. three. is goes a really vicious illegal or legal. expertise you don't miss it. for more of the manchester united manager predictions had to r.t. dot com also if you think you know better you can challenge him just head to facebook or twitter and use the hash tag match marino. now most of the teams are already at their base camps making final preparations and the fans have been out in force as well. but.

some russian artists have found their own way to welcome the players they've created mosaic portraits of football stars like lionel messi and mohamed salah it took them two months and sixty kilograms of stone to create their artwork we asked them what inspired their project. but. that if these are i can see a world trouble one of them a still a very sing star this is messy and this is a law which is because they are the most popular at the moment of course they will not visit us many fans come here who know them and will be pleased to see them and be photographed next to them. now this world cup will have technology to play for

the first time as referees will be able to call on video replays to help get big decisions right up ahead of feet as refereeing department says the tech shouldn't take anything away from the role of the officials themselves so we want we want to use technology and we have to use technology only in the moments that is really needed if the human aspect was completed succes that means that every know exactly what you have to do to take the important decisions but then he was so difficult to try to understand once intimidators will come technology so technology of to be really good tools of prevention of good tools. but not changing the approach of referee to take as a first in the final decision how would you assess russia's readiness to host the world cup. how really impressed i didn't have any doubt also remember the confederation cup but now they can feel i'm also or before starting this world cup

and that they are ready so especially on the refereeing point of view on the preparation facilities everything so we are really to russia for what they prepared and what they are giving us to prepare this incredible event the opening match of the world cup where russia face in saudi arabia begins on thursday at moscow's luzhniki stadium and travel whole tournament we've got you covered. this is i'll tell you after the break desperation left stranded at sea how the newly elected italian government is keeping one of its more controversial election promises.

a fight for many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money just kill you narrowness and spending to get the twenty million album fly a. book it's an experience like nothing else because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy great so what more chance for. peace.

welcome back a concert by a controversial muslim rapper set to take place in paris is about to call theater has left local stunned the venue was hit by tragedy and twenty fifteen when eighty nine people died in a terror attack. been covering the story for us but a warning for you you might find some of the images in the report upsetting. man was. this theater in paris has become synonymous with tragedy. plans by a controversial move to them rock but to perform here have struck deep caught

why well just take a listen to some of the lyrics. to . this song was released early in two thousand and fifteen before this horrific attack and it's not only the provocative lyrics about islam and france's secular tradition in medina's career he even has an album called jihad all of the rapper himself says he's against violence and the would refers to struggle nevertheless thousands have now signed a petition calling for his gigs in october to be canceled and some politicians have joined in on the protests. no french person can accept that this guy's going to spew his filth at the very sight of the bad a clown massacre we have had enough of complacency and worse of this incitement to

islamist fundamentalism. the ruffin the dean of the particular on an unacceptable provocation the families of the victims are not being respected. the hosting of the rotten medini the bats are crime is a number but insults the memory of the victims of the thirteenth of november twenty fifth there are symbols that cannot be desecrated i ask emmanuel mccrone to ban this concert lawyers representing some of the relatives of those who were killed or injured in the massacre and now calling for the cole sit to be cancelled. week the worst of the victims and the victims themselves we cannot understand or support the fact that at the battle and theater where people were killed in islam is horse occurred someone can sing things like that we've been gauging opinion only issue with people in the french capital. and i think he can perform at the better clan i don't consider it an issue wouldn't go at all i wouldn't even consider for

a second. but like i said he's proud really. it's not a problem for him to play at the back to climb to denounce the things that happened so we have to let artists express themselves but i don't understand the feelings of the rick tim's family this and those who are affected by that took it seems one of france's darkest hours continues to tell people a pause so deep in ski altie paris we've asked the rap on the dean and the theater for their comments on this as soon as we hear anything back we'll let you know what they have to say. unlicensed party boat crashed into a barge on the volga river in russia's southwestern city of volgograd on monday killing eleven people these are pictures of the catamaran being removed from the river. sixteen people were on board at the time of the incident reportedly celebrating the birthday of a traffic policeman the search operation is now over and russian's investigative

committee is looking into how it happened the passenger vessel was reportedly overloaded and its market switched off when the collision happened. after two weeks in power italy's new government is sticking to its campaign promises the interior minister is close to port to a vessel carrying migrants he says the country's new goal is to protect its borders voyeur paul if you know it was that i want to put an end to this human trafficking which puts thousands of lives at risk in the same way that we raise the issue for the aquarius who will raise it for all of the vessels that follow their other countries i'm hinting at france where instead of accepting the report of the migrants our objective is we hope the same what is in north korea to protect the external borders if europe and its allies one of them. the humanitarian vessel that was turned away was carrying more than six hundred migrants including more than one hundred unaccompanied minors and pregnant women it's however been offered to dock in a spanish port and those on board have been rescued off the coast of libya over the

weekend and we're hoping to disembark on the italian island of sicily but two mayors of major ports there who are strongly opposed to the move. but all the roads which doesn't find the harbor can come to the worst of me this city has a great capacity for care and humanity and will open its arms this by its economic problems when i'm going to the growing of a computer that this is a moment of shame for our government which is undermining the culture of acceptance that characterizes the italian people in this is drawn in the worst kinds of european nationalism was repro you to naziism and fascism. at least being one of the countries hardest hit by the migrant crisis more behalf a million people have reached the country by boat in the past four years or more than thirteen thousand migrants are missing or confirmed dead this year alone italy has taken in more than fourteen thousand refugees that's more than either spain or greece many of the newcomers have arrived in sicily and it's something that's defined opinion on the island jim by

a little bit it is just not right that invading us they're illegal if a person arrives here legally they are welcomed among these people they're also illegal immigrants and that can't be tolerated. they need to be checked we need to know who's arriving these six hundred people as you said we don't know who they are not all of the right people that the sun is closing the ports no i don't think that is right are only telling migrants have gone everywhere and they're welcome to squandered away. when italy's owed to malta another e.u. country which is closer to libya to allow the ship to disembark but malta is also refused to accept it saying the italian coast guard is responsible for operations in the waters of libya he passed from the european council on refugees in exiles believe the e.u. policies may be contributing to the problem i think there has been a serious failure among many of the countries of the european union to address this issue particularly the sofa not being a third burden sharing i rather hope that the stance

of the new very new spanish prime minister will. begin to shame other countries in europe and say well we should also play a part as well but i do understand the attitude of the italian government in saying that we've already born an enormous influx of people who rely on answer to migration flows in the migration crisis as it's term is to try to enable people to live in their countries of origin you you have to actually try to ensure through diplomatic and international efforts the peace at home for people so they don't feel the need to flee for their lives. well that's the way looks from here for now thanks very much for watching if you go to be auty up you can get new to us twenty four seven i'll be back right here though in half an hour with the next world news from ati international see that.

the legacy of coal 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. getting phone no. one was the last time that you went on the internet no i'm not using me these village is it safe to do so. are you sure there is new music tirzah there and they are all going to be sure the baby does a glossy his that is the. question we're doing and we thought. is dead as part of that was

a good deal. more work i was. previously. yes and no they are being false form of words mislead member of the society. let's. go.

this is boom bust broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. i'm part shown and thank you for tuning in and watching coming up today there's lots going on in the european union we have a treat for you is there joined by the general secretary of the european trade union confederation. teenie some of you may recall we spoke with him from davos earlier this year we'll talk about immigration and labor and issues involving his home country of italy and sticking with europe there are new european regulations designed to protect people's privacy what are they and how will the european union's general data protection regulations actually work we'll ask attorney and

global privacy expert miles edwards and artie's ashley banks may scare a few of us with a report on additional points off billions of dollars with no business plans she'll fill us in on the details all that ahead but first we had some headlines. we were poor and expend extensively on the group of seven meeting in canada late last week and all of that harsh rhetoric ahead of the meeting well the rough rhetoric at least from the united states side continued as the event over the weekend and it canadian prime minister justin trudeau said that canada would retaliate on july first in the ongoing trade war with the u.s. and apply equal and measures to that being imposed by the united states saying canadians are polite. and reasonable the prime minister also said that canadians will not be pushed around in reaction president trump who left the gathering early to head to singapore declined to support a but nine joint communique amongst the g seven countries related to free and fair

trade and called mr trudeau quote dishonest and weak and on sunday newspaper on the sunday news program president trump director of trade and policy mr peter navarro said of the prime minister that he deserved quote a special place in hell and quote which proves that the current us leader and his staff are certainly not polite nor perhaps reasonable while mr navarro previously said that no country would retaliate against the united states related to trade tariffs canada will be imposing thirteen billion and the european union will impose three billion dollars worth of tariffs on u.s. goods while the trumpet ministrations goal is to reduce tariffs on u.s. goods it's not worked out that way at least so far meanwhile in a matter of hours in singapore president trump and kim jong il north korea will hold the first ever meeting between leaders of the two countries after seven decades of hostility from the u.s. perspective the talks are an effort to denuclearize north korea and from the north

korean perspective there is hope of getting rid of economic sanctions by the u.s. and other nations on north korea and as a g seven leaders disagree over trade tariffs and sanctions russian president vladimir putin and chinese president xi jinping are cooperating more as part of an expanded regional security bloc the shanghai cooperation organization or s c o while the group has existed since two thousand and one the first as c.e.o. summit took place over the weekend with two new and notable members pakistan and india at the event in an apparent reference to the united states president said quote unilateralism trade protectionism and a backlash against globalization are taking new forms mr he suggested the pursuit of cooperation among nation. and for mutual benefit. and to tell you in bonds and stocks are rallying after the new finance minister giovanni tria reaffirmed the new government's commitment to the euro he said quote we are not

discussing any proposal to exit the euro he then went further saying the government is determined to avoid the materialization of market conditions that push us toward exit in any way mr tree also said the new government is self-motivated to control and reduce debt not just to please the e.u. bureaucracy bank stock rose on reports of his comments yields on italian bonds fell to one percent after having gone above two point seven percent during the most chaotic phase of the ruling coalition's recent effort to form a government mr truro was nominated for the post after the ruling coalition's first proposed cabinet slate was rejected by the president because he suspected the finance nominee as being a euro skeptic. and there's a lot going on in europe much of it involving immigration a lot of things regarding worker rights and specifically what's going on regarding

italy that we just spoke of in that regard a little bit earlier we spoke with luke of decent t.v. the general secretary of the european trade union confederation here's that conversation. and immigration is an issue that has divided the u.s. labor movement in the past before they reached their current pro immigrant position but immigration also is a key component of european politics and in recent years this issue has been continually controversial mr general secretary what what your position on immigration and the specific problem and choices facing the e.u. what with the european union and europe more in general were not able to address this emergency in the proper way international rules were not respected few countries including he telling my own country were completely left alone in addressing this emergency and in searching and rescue people at sea and trying to avoid an immense a strategy to a tragedy to happen but that was coming from the large majority of member states of

the european union that didn't given and at all to the greece but also to some other countries like germany and sweden the tried to welcome some of these refugees and to integrate them into society in the labor market of those countries so four counties along against the other twenty four were completely. burning or on their shoulders i mean the the wall burden of this of this situation of this emergency and frankly speaking the situation is not going to improve at all because there is no agreement between the.
