and this is one of those cases the could could bring that accountability that we so desperately need right now i absolutely and you know for whatever you know however you feel about this administration they really made headlines by granting a posthumous pardon to african american boxer jack johnson and commuted the racially charged life sentence of alice marie johnson and i think this sort of renewed focus on the emmett till case can be seen as a sort of continuation of a subtle approach to writing some of those those infamous cases of of racial injustice and hopefully even in the midst of what we're going on in the united states and abroad we can really make some make some right in this situation thank you so much for joining me from new york. thank you as we go to break out forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook and twitter your forces that are to dot com coming up we explore the commercial underbelly of frest feeding and the baby formula industry say to washington.

to watch the futurama or the jetsons they are traveling inside troops it's pretty normal this thing have fallen so that concepts like that there were several in implementations that were planted in the minefields in the sixty's. so. when he or paul says i dear and he says he was too busy this has some space if you want someone else to pick it up. at. seventy four design submissions. seven thousand pilings. to join judges.

and eight hundred sixty nonstop days of. a russian w.b. a champion of it. and a russian. show you how and why the crimean bridge was built. witnessed the construction of it when you need to transport dungaree that will help done to the crimea the list of most of those you know while google more familiar with it a bit but really. let . the law to.

let her early to. that. point. economists martin friedman or mark wants that the only corporate social responsibility a company has is to maximize its profits but what happens when the way to maximize profits results in eight hundred thousand child deaths per year well when a resolution to protect promote and support breastfeeding was introduced at the world health assembly this may it it wasn't expected to cause much of a stir and they didn't until last week when the new york times reported that the u.s. delegation allegedly communicated that if ecuador refused to drop the resolution

washington when unleashed punishing trade measures and withdraw crucial military aid why would the u.s. be against the encouragement of breastfeeding it turns out that it wasn't the breast feeding the u.s. delegates had a problem with it was the resolutions language restricting the marketing and sale of baby formula that was the thorn in the u.s. just couldn't get out of its paul according to the world health organization and the lancet brain breastfeeding series group sales of breast milk substitutes alone totaled forty four point eight billion in two thousand and fourteen and this number is expected to rise to seventy point six billion by two thousand and nineteen the first thing you should know is that just four companies control approximately ninety percent of that market swiss food big. nestle which is produces guru gerber french company dun known which makes optimal american company mead johnson nutrition which makes m. famille and finally american company abbott laboratories the maker of similac names that are known and trusted all round the world and according to the international

baby food action network two thirds of the global market in breast milk substitutes comes from china hong kong indonesia and vietnam where birth rates are rising however the prices in some areas mean that some poor mothers are spending upwards of seventy percent of their salary on baby formula all because they were told it was better than breast milk now by their doctors but by representative dressed like nurses who give free samples at clinics and sell the idea to new moms that breast reading could be dangerous and that if they want what is best for their child they will use this formula and that my friends is where all the bells and whistles and alarms should be going off corporations are making billions by targeting customers who either can't read the label of the product they're using don't have access to clean water to mix it with or are going broke buying formula that isn't as nutritious as it claims to be. but this isn't the first time we've seen it in fact the us government has addressed this issue before along with the world health

organization in the year two thousand nestle had a major recall of their baby food due to concerns that it wasn't sanitary in one thousand nine hundred seven the new york times revealed that baby food companies were using the fear of aids in africa to get more women to buy formula there but it was in the late one nine hundred seventy s. when senator edward kennedy became a vocal advocate for corporate responsibility in the baby food sector he was disgusted by the marketing may used which honestly hasn't changed much in forty years thirty nine hundred seventy eight hearing senator kennedy asked the then president of nestle brazil as waldo bettina what responsibility the company had to the babies who use their product is i understand what you say is where there's impure of water it should not be used yes where the people are so poor that they're not going to realistically be able to continue to purchase that and which is going to mean that they're going to dilute it to a point which is going to endanger their health that it should not be used yes i

buy now than my final question is what do you do or what do you feel is your corporate responsibility to find out the extent of the use of your product in those circumstances in the philippine part of the world do you feel that you have any responsibility we can't have that response of these may i make a reference to you can't have that responsibility you know how kind of being responsible for the water that we all want to assist in not talking i'm talking about the use of your product in those areas. can and in one nine hundred seventy four reports on the methods of marketing of tactics of the baby formula industry called the baby killer it was found that the baby food industry stands accused of promoting their products in communities which cannot use them properly of using advertising sales girls dressed up in news nurses uniforms give away samples and free gifts get mix that person persuade mothers to give up breastfeeding look alternatives to breast milk should of course be on the market not everyone can

breastfeed some babies are adopted and the health and mental health of the mother can be asked virtually affected by the pressure put on women to breastfeed however it is totally on equivocally unexceptable for a corporation any corporation to put the law the their profits over the lives of people so of corporations want to be people maybe they should act like they have a shred of humanity and sort of laying hundreds of thousands of children die for a bump in their stock prices and joining us today to discuss this issue and breastfeeding is the executive director of the academy of breastfeeding medicine carla shepherd rubinar thank you so much for joining me carla it's exciting to be here yes so this is a pretty big issue and as i said this isn't the first time that we've encountered this here in the united states but what's sad is to see the same tactics being used so this world health assembly resolution of breast feeding and curtail the false

advertising by breast milk alternative producers was blocked by the u.s. delegates on the basis that it put undue pressure on moms who can't breastfeed what's the truth about moms that the mom should know about breast feeding versus formula. well the most important point of information for moms is their physicians and their healthcare providers and one of our goals is to make sure that those people are well educated up to date on all of the facts and the evidence based information that we have our organization is made up of physicians all over the world who are trained and educated to care for babies and moms and we also have a peer review journal that comes out every single month with new evidence and new

support about why breastfeeding is so important and so beneficial to mothers and babies and that's one of the most important points of contact to make sure this information gets out and shared we're not trying to pull the wool over anybody's eyes were trying to do the reverse we can't argue or compete with the budgets of those four big formula companies but we can educate health professionals and those are the ones who deal on a day to day basis with moms and moms have a right to expect that they're professionals to be educated and that's what we do is there a lack of education between you know in in that sector it with doctors about the benefits of breast feeding or what people should look for in a good formula something to give options are you finding that doctors are generally

well educated on the subject. no that's scary there not that it is scary it is not on the curriculum of most maybe any medical schools now in defense of medical schools think of the burst of information just in the past five years what physicians need to know it's phenomenal and this is one of many many pieces but we need to make sure that physicians are educated about this also after physicians and other health providers leave school where do they get educated that is one of the reasons that we put so much emphasis on our peer reviewed journal that comes out monthly our protocol guidelines which are peer reviewed by our physicians and others around the world and translated into many other languages and so the education must continue and it must be peer reviewed it must be credible and

visible and that's our goal and so important and not just you know in first world countries like the united states but in developing areas as well i spoke with a number of moms about breastfeeding and one thing that came up a lot was the shaming of moms who who even considered formula one pregnant mom from the midwest alison o'brien actually told me about she said quote i've been pushed out of breastfeeding facebook groups for simply asking questions or offering that there are other options to be pro breastfeeding moms opinions your then shame to because you don't agree to what they believe one hundred percent and are ostracized and she's a nurse so she's going to group this is somebody who do that how do we repair the conversation around breastfeeding and formula to make it more productive and more inclusive for everybody and for all moms it's very important and certainly it does all come down to.

i'm going to cut into what an old you can watch it online if you want we're going to go live now to a news conference for the british prime minister's country residence checkers after talks between to resume the u.s. president donald trump there just approaching the podium now in order to be able to deliver a news conference after what may have been or were talks of the headlines are anything to go by to meet the shared challenges we face now and in the years ahead . this morning president trump and i visited sandhurst where we saw a demonstration of joint working between british and american special forces just one example of what is today the broadest deepest and most advanced security cooperation of any two countries in the world. whether it is our pilots deterring the use of chemical weapons in syria or defeating diet our soldiers at the forefront of nato presence in eastern europe our navies in the pacific enforcing sanctions on north korea or unparalleled intelligence sharing partnership forging

attacks our security cooperation is saving lives here in britain in america and right across the world that partnership is set to grow with our armies integrating to a level anywhere and the u.k. set to spend twenty four billion pounds on u.s. equipment and support over the next decade today we've also discussed how we can deepen our work together to respond to malign state activity terrorism and serious crime in particular on russia i thank president trump for his support in responding to the appalling use of a nerve agent in salzburg after which he expelled sixty russian intelligence officers and i welcomed his meeting with president putin in helsinki on monday. we agreed that it is important to engage russia from a position of strength and unity and that we should continue to deter and counter or efforts to undermine our democracy is turning to our economic cooperation with

mutual investment between us already over one trillion dollars we want to go further we agreed today that as the u.k. leaves the european union we will pursue an ambitious u.s. u.k. free trade agreement the checkers agreement reached last week provides the platform for donald and me to agree an ambitious deal that works for both countries right across our economy is a deal that builds on the u.k.'s independent trade policy reducing tiris delivering a gold standard in financial services cooperation and has two of the world's most advanced economies seizing the opportunity of new technology all of this will further enhance our economic cooperation creating new jobs and prosperity for our peoples for generations to come the u.k. u.s. relationship is also defined by the role we play on the world stage doing this means making tough calls and sometimes being prepared to say things that others might rather not hear from the outset president trump is being clear about how he

sees the challenges we face and on many we agree for example the need to deal with the longstanding nuclear threat of d.p. r. k. where the agreement in singapore has set in train the prospect of denuclearization to which the u.k. is proud to be contributing expertise all the need to address the destabilizing influence of iran in the middle east where today we've discussed what more we can do to push back on iran in yemen and reduce humanitarian suffering. all the need for nato allies to increase their defense spending and capability on which we saw significant increases at yesterday's summit this includes afghanistan where this week i announced a further uplift of four hundred forty u.k. troops an ongoing commitment to a mission that began as nato only use of article five acting in support of the u.s. finally let me say this about the wider transatlantic relationship it is all of our responsibility to ensure that transatlantic unity in jewels which has been

fundamental to the protection and projection of our interests and values for generations with us leadership at its foundation its beating heart remains our democratic values and our commitment to justice those values are something that we in the u.k. will always cherish as i know the us will too it is the strength of these values and the common interests they create that we see across the breadth of our societies in north america and europe and that is why i'm confident that this transatlantic alliance will continue to be the bedrock of our shared security and prosperity for years to come. mr president thank you very much thank you. prime minister thank you very much and it is my true honor to join you at this remarkable setting truly magnificent as we celebrate the special relationship between our two countries on behalf of the american people i want to thank you for your very gracious hospitality thank you very much trace last night malani and i

were delighted to join you and philip for dinner at the magnificent plenum palace it was a wonderful and memorable evening that we will not soon forget is really something very special today it's a true privilege to visit historic checkers that i've heard so much about and read so much about growing up in history class and to continue our conversation which has really proceeded along rapidly and well over the last few days for generations our predecessors have gathered at this stunning retreat to strengthen a bond that is like no other the relationship between our two nations is indispensable to the cause of liberty justice and peace the united kingdom and the united states are bound together by a common historic heritage language and heroes the traditions of freedom sovereignty and the true rule of law were our shared gift to the world they are now

are priceless inheritance to a civilization we must never cease to be united in their defense and in their renewal before our dinner last night malani and i joined prime minister may mr may and the duke and duchess of model for a tour of the winston churchill exhibit at blenheim palace there was something something very special it was from right here at checkers that prime minister churchill phone president roosevelt after pearl harbor. in that horrific war american and british service members bravely shed their blood alongside one another in defense of home and in defense of freedom and together we achieved a really special magnificent victory and it was total victory

prime minister may and i have just come from a very productive nato summit that was truly a productive summit where my top priority was getting other nato members to pay their full and fair share and the prime minister was right there with me and i want to thank you prime minister for the united kingdom's contribution to our common defense the u.k. is one of the handful of nations five out of twenty nine not good but it's going to get better really fast in addition to the united states meeting the two percent g.d.p. minimum defense spending commitments during the summit i made clear all nato allies must honor their obligations and i am pleased to report that we have received substantial commitments from members to increase their defense spending and to do so in a much more timely manner. in our meetings today the prime minister and i discussed a range of shared priorities including stopping nuclear proliferation. i

think prime minister may for her partnership in our pursuit of a nuclear free north korea has been a tremendous help the prime minister and i also discussed iran and we both agree that iran must never possess a nuclear weapon and that i must halt and we was to it and i'm going to do it and she's going to do it and we're all going to do it together. we have to stop terrorism to scorch we have to stop terrorism and we have to get certain countries and they've come a long way i believe the funding of terrorism has to stop and as a step now i encourage the prime minister to sustain pressure on the regime and she needed absolutely no encouraged and because she in fact also encourages me and we're doing that and were doing that together very closely coordinated the united kingdom and the united states are also strengthening cooperation between our armed

forces who served together in battlefields all around the world today the prime minister and i viewed several u.s. u.k. special forces demonstration. we saw some demonstrations today frankly that were incredible the talent of these young brave strong people. we saw it at the royal military academy at sandhurst seamless cooperation between our militaries is really just vital to addressing the many shared security threats we have threats far different than we've ever had before they've always been out there but these are different and they're severe and we will handle them well we also recognize the vital importance of border security and immigration control in order to prevent foreign acts of terrorism within our shores we must prevent terrorists and their supporters from gaining admission in the first place border

security is a national security problem and in the united states we are working very hard to get the democrats to give us a couple of votes so we can pass meaningful and powerful border security i also want to thank prime minister may for pursuing fair and reciprocal trade with the united states once the brics that process is concluded and perhaps the u.k. has left the e.u. i don't know what they're going to do but whatever you do is ok with me that's your decision and whatever you're going to do is ok with us just make sure we can trade together that's all that matters the united states looks forward to finalizing a great bilateral trade agreement with the united kingdom this is an incredible opportunity for our two countries and we will seize it fully. we support the decision of the british people to realize full self-government and we will see how that goes very complicated negotiation and not an easy negotiation that's for sure

a strong and independent united kingdom like a strong and independent united states is truly a blessing on the world prime minister may. i want to thank you again for the honor of visiting the united kingdom a special place my mother was born here so it means something maybe just a little bit extra maybe even a lot extra and we had a wonderful visit last night i think i got to know the prime minister better than at any time we spent a lot of time together over a year and a half but last night we really i was very embarrassed for the rest of the table we just talked about lots of different problems and solutions to those problems and it was a great evening as we stand together this afternoon at checkers we continue a long tradition of friendship collaboration and affection between ourselves and also between our people the enduring relationship between our nations has never been stronger than it is now so madam prime minister thank you very much it's been

an honor thank you thank you thank you mr president thank you thank you. we will. we're going to take four questions each off with laura. and thank you very much prime minister and mr president laura can spark b.b.c. news and mr president you seem rather to have changed your chin from what you said earlier this week when you said that on the current threats that plan that would probably kill the possibility of a trade deal with the u.k. our countries are meant to have a special relationship yet you publicly criticized the prime minister's policy and her personally for not listening to you this week is that really the behavior of a friend and prime minister isn't the problem for you that some of the things mr trump has said about your breakfast plan are right it will limit the possibilities of doing trade deals easily in the future can you also tell us how it felt for him to criticize you in the way he did in that interview or maybe i'll go first because

i didn't criticize the prime minister have a lot of respect for the prime minister and unfortunately there was a story that was done which was you know generally fine. but it didn't put in what i said about the prime minister and i said tremendous things unfortunately we tend to record. stories now so we have it for your enjoyment of you like it but we record when we deal with reporters it's called fake news and we solve a lot of problems with the good old recording instrument but what happens is that the prime minister is a really just said she's going to make a decision as to what she's going to do the only thing i ask of tourists is that we make sure we can trade that we don't have any restrictions because we want to trade with the u.k. and the u.k. wants to trade with us we're by far their biggest trading partner and we have you noticed a tremendous opportunity to double triple quadruple that so if they going

a slightly different route and i know they do want independence it's going to be independents it's just your definition but if they're going to go a certain route i just said i hope you're going to be able to trade with the united states i read reports where that won't be possible but i believe after speaking with the prime minister's people and representatives and trade experts it will absolutely be possible so based on that i. based and based on just trade in general and our other relationship which will be fine but the trade is a little bit tricky we want to be able to trade and they want to be able to trade and i think we'll be able to do that and i think she's doing a terrific job by the way. thank you mr president and just to confirm what the president has said laura there will be no limit to the possibility of us doing trade deals around the rest of the world once we leave the european union on the basis of the agreement that was made here at checkers in that i put forward to the

european union and just to be clear that is an agreement that delivers on the brics it votes that we had in two thousand and sixteen here in the u.k. that delivers what i believe is at the forefront of people's minds when they were voting. leave the european union so at the end of these negotiations we will ensure that free movement will come to an end the jurisdiction of the european court of justice here in the u.k. will come to an end the sending of vast sums of money every year to the e.u. will come to an end we will come out of the common agricultural policy we will come out of the common fisheries policy and we will ensure by not being in a customs union that we are able to have an independent trade policy and do those trade deals around the world and as you've heard from the president the united states is keen for us we're keen to work with them and we will do a trade deal with them and with others around the rest of the world is presently not selected journalism's one. jonathan jonathan swan from axis mr president two questions if i may on the first

one now your british trip is coming to a close i could you tell us the three or four things you hope to achieve in your meeting with vladimir putin and the second question what's the benefit to america of having tens of thousands of american troops stationed in europe thank you so i'll be meeting with president putin on monday and we go into the meeting with a tremendous meeting that we had with nato most of you have reported it correctly it was certainly it was testy at the beginning but at the end everybody came together and they agreed to do what they should do and actually what they've committed to do which you fully had here to you didn't have a problem but some people did and we left that meeting i think probably more unified and wealthier as a group than ever before so we go in strong. we'll be talking to president putin about a number of things ukraine will be talking about syria will be talking about other

parts of the middle east i will be talking about nuclear proliferation because we are. massively you know you know what we've been doing we've been modernizing and fixing and buying and it's just a devastating technology. and they likewise are doing a lot and it's a very very. bad policy we have no choice but we are massively big and they are very big and i'll be talking about nuclear proliferation that would be a great thing if we could do it now it's not only us it's not only russia and the united states it's other countries also him but we're the two leaders we would be the leader they would be second guessed china would be third i think we'll all be talking about that i thought to me jonathan i think that would be a tremendous. tremendous achievement if we could do some.
