watching international everyone welcome to you. north korea was at the heart of the latest u.n. security council meeting washington's top diplomat mike pompeo praised the progress made in relations between the two countries just a year since president vowed to totally destroy the reclusive state. past diplomatic attempts to hold north korea's nuclear ballistic missile development were unsuccessful but now we're at the dawn of a new day twelve months ago washington and pyongyang seem to be standing on the brink of war so will this new day mention by secretary actually lost in this report from new york. it's only been a year and then boom donald trump's second u.n. general assembly just listen to it i would like to thank chairman kim for his courage and for the steps he has taken a lot of very positive things are happening with chairman kim he likes me i like

him we get along but most importantly i believe that chairman kim jong un wants peace and prosperity for north korea twelve months ago same building same holds same mr trump no one has shown more contempt for other nations and for the wellbeing of their own people then the depraved regime in north korea no north korea hasn't undergone any regime change surgery chairman kim is still in his chair but miraculously little rocket man is now an awesome guy rocket man shooting rockets all over the place and with me he's not get nowhere with it he will truly regret it five years as a fury the likes of which nobody has seen before totally destroy north korea rocket men mad men is on a suicide mission for himself that is there it's a state that while today. is the president's most admired pen pal

i'm sure you've heard about the beautiful letter so i've received two letters from jim and kim much personal correspondence magnificent very strong letter form incredible letters a letter that gave one i showed one of the letters just. to prime minister b. he said this is actually a groundbreaking letter like any other president donald trump would love to be remembered as a global peace me it took him a year and a half from his inauguration to zero in on his desired legacy a true br. through in the korean crisis barak obama was having a harder time segmenting his place in history books but then the year when nuclear deal came to the rescue and the mission find your perfect legacy was complete after nearly two years of intensive negotiations backed by strong sanctions become trees

represented in this room achieved what decades of animosity and rhetoric did not and thanks to this deal we have seen real progress shortly after mr obama was gone the deal was left in tatters no matter how monumental it had been in the first place one of the worst sales i've ever seen in a good disaster is still one of the dumbest details one of the worst deals ever it was the iran deal i'm all for agreements but that was a bad one donald trump waved good bye to the green minutes he quit unilaterally without paying attention to pretty much what the rest of the world has to say about today's action sends a critical message to the united states no longer makes empty threats when i make promises i keep that donald trump may indeed keep all his promises as

president but it does happen that rivals sometimes take over the white house after term one what if and a couple of years someone else will be representing the u.s. behind these new one general assembly walls in new york a million to train them. to washington's happy sanctions against north korea one of the main issues of discussion at the latest u.n. security council meeting the russian foreign minister called them outdated considering the progress seen from pyongyang regarding denuclearizing. i do too and when pyongyang shows readiness to cooperate and positive changes toward stabilization in the region it looks more and more outdated when our western partners proposed the strengthening sanctions on north korea given that pyongyang has taken a number of important steps towards denuclearization it would have been more logical to support the efforts of us something in exchange to support

a positive trend that it is hard to judge whether their statements match reality however just meeting by dialoguing and talking is progress and i think it needs to be acknowledged and praised that they are doing that however have we moved any closer toward the idea of a peace treaty and we moved any closer toward finding a way to avoid the nuclear buildup on the peninsula i'm not sure through the efforts of washington that we have i think we have through the efforts of president moon and south korea and what they're doing but i don't think at this point in time we can say progress has been made because they should be entering the peace treaty ending the korean war as a prerequisite to toss. in what proved to be an emotionally charged headline grabbing hearing both donald trump supreme court nominee and the

woman who accuses him of attempted rape testified before the senate judiciary committee. i recall saying that the bully who assaulted me could someday be on the u.s. supreme court i denied the allegation immediately categorically in unequivocally and here today not because i want to be and terrified my family and my name have been totally and permanently destroyed my family and i have been the target of constant harassment and threats i intend no we'll wilts a doctor for her family the other night actually and my daughter lies assert their prayers millions of hits on you tube videos from neo nazi high rock bands so i'm all for the rule of law replying but he bill seems to be massively disproportionate when there is no general trend in the french black community or

elsewhere for this sort of thing and the one time here example people have descended on it in fronds you'll be exaggerating now you are not a grain anyway but undoubtedly these i exaggerate i mean there is a problem there is a problem. i am using in general i am drill music i am the last one hundred black kids at the moment lee along in the mall true your have been lying in a mood tree we should condemn all violence like this all violent lyrics like this this kid is only at us a forty downloads we're going to be very careful we don't blow this out of proportion but he i've read the lyrics he's talking about stabbing caves in a nurturing white kids and hanging their parents i'm sorry last out of order in my book just about let's see what the guy said the guy said i wanted to reverse polarity and show what it's like for black people for hundreds of years to be victims to these things sounds credible to me whether he meant it or not who knows

only he can tell but i do know this seems to be a big disproportionate difference with the way he's being treated. to the way that the rest of the offenders on you tube are being treated one would never try not to come damage slavery would not you know no one's trying to make an excuse for that if he has used a seed and change the priority of it good however but by the same token condemn both. the turkish president of the one is in germany on his first formal state visit as president it comes amid growing economic pressure from washington on both germany and turkey over the one said at times like these but an anchor only to put their problems aside and put all of our reports from by the. turkish president. germany would be extending over all of the branches the building of bridges and the turning over of new pages in the relationship between uncreate

and berlin front and center. it is our responsibility to rationally move our relations forward on the basis of our shared interests quite apart from irrational fears peter while since he was here twenty fourteen was the last time i was in germany on official business and in that time. have there been some exchanges between the two nations. i can see turkey being admitted to the european union i have never been able to see it happening. a germany you have no relation whatsoever to democracy and you should know that your current actions and no different to those of the nazi period president your jeopardizing everything that you've built together with others and your unspeakable nazi comparisons do not cut the ties to those who want a partnership with. i'm calling on all my countrymen in germany the christian democrats the s.t.p. and the green party are all enemies of turkey support those political parties who

are not enemies of turkey so you see this more than just a few indiscretions to be over kill me if the chancellor and the president of to be chums again if we go back to the attempted coup in turkey in twenty sixteen happy the suspects accused of taking part not to be granted asylum in germany while germany's on happy german citizens are in jail in turkey accused of taking part there if we also look at elections then turkey's unhappy you know the one particular on happy. turkish rallies weren't allowed to be held in some german states while germany which was hosting elections in the same year they were angry the president deemed it necessary to give tips to turkish germans on how they should vote in the german general election. the relationship between germany and turkey is in a real low right now if only there was someone they could unite. against.

in particular is keen to have mrs merkel as an ally in the face of trumps trade war the current unilateral and reckless approach of the us government is dragging our world further into merciless economic war which harms every player both mr and mrs merkel have ongoing economic shenanigans with donald trump the us president has slapped a massive tariffs on the import of turkish steel in our minium while german companies find themselves in a peculiar position over trump sanctions against iran also on top of that berlin is being pressured by washington over germany's involvement in the north stream to gas pipeline project with russia policy. brings these

countries nationally iran and turkey on one side and europe on the other side closer together in the economic terry fs in now the same sions against iran iran is a big economic partner for turkey and if turkey shines it and the. economic turmoil and trying to reach out to our sites to get support while building bridges is the order of the day there is one area where mr may have to concentrate germany has just between turkey to the right to host the twenty twenty four european football championships but of course that will probably pale into insignificance when there's a trade war waging trump to unite against people of iraq. in hamburg the opening of a new mosque is upsetting some locals details interest in.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamped each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one to one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only. the old saying you know we need to go back and buy more foreign force that's not

self-sufficient that's also the position of the gods that's the mission do that. goes in any case even if there is a number of contingency they've got to go back want it to the to the country. friday stories here on out say to the editor of the new york review of books claims he was pressured to leave the prestigious magazine for giving a platform and a perspective from the wrong side of the me tube movement. published an essay written by a former canadian radio host who was acquitted of a sexual assault charges in which though he reflects on life after the accusations . i feel forced to resign in fact it is a capitulation to social media and university presses i have absolutely no doubt

that the me too movement is a necessary corrective on male behavior but like all the well intentioned and good things they can be undesirable consequences ok let me off and now look at how one decision to publish an essay can cost you your job. the new york review of books is a staple of american intellectual culture was actually hailed as the premier literary intellectual magazine of the english language by esquire and lauded by the new york times it has prided itself in posing questions in americans debates about life and culture since the one nine hundred sixty s. but in the era of me to that attempted debate has fallen flat ian buruma never himself accused of sexual misconduct decides to give voice to someone who has been accused and he gets fired. my interest in running this piece as i said is the point of view of somebody who has been pilloried in public opinion and what somebody like that feels about it it was not run as

a piece to exonerate him or to somehow miss ingate the nature of his behavior the article that got broom of fired was written by asian ghomeshi is a canadian radio host whose career was destroyed when he was accused of sexual assault back in two thousand and sixteen now all the charges against him in twenty sixteen were dismissed in court due to lack of evidence however since then twenty different women have come forward and accused him now those accusations have not yet gone to court but jian ghomeshi never got his job back there are a lot of guys more hated than me now but i was the guy everyone hated first during the first two weeks i was suicidal i contemplated the methods by which i could kill myself i was terrified of being weak and terrified of falling asleep after the article was published there was a firestorm both in the media and on the internet pretty soon bruno was no longer the editor now the new york review of books even one as far as to publish an

apology for what they thought was a poor editorial decision while mr gomes has an absolute free speech right to express his opinions with no it's healthy who is in the presentation and editing of his story over. one hundred writers and contributors to the new york review were shocked about why their colleague had lost his job we find it very troubling that the public reaction to a single to cope republican some of us may have found the sense of who should have been the occasion a few improvements forced resignation now the writer of the article was indeed accused of sexual harassment but the editor in bloom a wasn't he simply made the decision to publish the article now there's no question that need to is giving victims a voice that is much needed but getting people fired for giving a voice to people whose guilt has not yet been proven is that what me too was supposed to bring about mop and r t new york criminal defense attorney emily

company says the media is here to give more voices on the subject not like. there is a backlash effect occurring within journalism these days which essentially it's the professional death sentence upon a mistake like that and the duty of the media the duty of this of this paper was to provide information it's to give an outlet to all of those voices in general journalists and editors i believe have a heightened sense of duty to not only act as stewards of the me two movement but that includes publishing and giving weight and light to all voices and all opinions along the spectrum so i do believe it's incumbent upon those participating in that industry to offer more voices to be heard rather than less to give more of an opportunity to be heard rather than editing in that need to movement and importantly there is a big sense of public opinion occurring where an allegation means

a conviction. twenty five past here in moscow a new mosque has been opened in humbugging a building that used to be a politician church and during the renovation the took five years an awful lot spin said about multi culture. alyssum and integration but some locals have mixed feelings about it. it's a shot it's a beating my three children received a confirmation in this church and now it is a mosque but what can you do. your

kids went to church history most for a mosque although they really made beautiful of course it is a different culture and they sure there are also so many parallels and therefore we have to be reasonable and stand together at a time when i just have to foster i have a strange feeling a little bit trite that one i'm in the boss for example and i see a crowd of people coming from the mosque it is a frightening feeling because you feel as a stranger you shall see. the mosque is a place of the integration and learning. and i don't think you can say that he joined many of the christian automatically nowadays who. a pleasure having you with us here on r.t. for this friday program there are a lot of stories coming your way a busy day for your world wide headlines hope you can join us in about twenty five minutes.

no you don't accept the slow drivers will despise the right to live it's. the speed. of television like. i don't buy the stuff i love me. why doesn't somebody know how does know it's a mask you never know what's happening and whether they're shooting whether it's your. mistrust the tibetans are.

going to say goodbye to your. boss which would mean you must be just like you know that in you but i'm a because that would be the all middle class and in the most farms of all these clear when the. nor make this manufactured consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round certainly the one percent. to ignore middle of the room. the real news is.

u.s. president donald trump took center stage at the united nations this week the middle east was very much on his mind particularly a red for some sitting in the general assembly trumps words were simply laughable however what is happening in the middle east and beyond is anything but fun. it's hard to imagine decades after the war a nazi doctor was still active. in the nineteen seventies crittle had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery at ash was a german company develops a little mind a drug that was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy. it turned out to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby is anything paul you know she said is just cut short arms minix a little mind victims i have to this day received no compensation they never apologized for the suffering that not only want the money i want the revenge.
