from russia with headline news around the world this is the international tuesday evening eight here in moscow who called in by with this hour's update headlining this hour for you vladimir putin has brushed off the entire modern investigation into russian meddling in the u.s. presidential election as total nonsense and aimed at a domestic audience the russian president told the international optic forum in some petersburg that it was clear from the beginning that there would be no collusion between the kremlin and donald trump reports. international arctic forum where first of all the journalists and the audience on the other hand at the main discussion event wanted to hear answers to questions that had nothing to do with the arctic the journalist that was leading the way of the discussion actually made it clear at one point that he wants to stay away from climate change melting ice is c o two emissions and talked of lot of more potent for some time about
1:02 pm
international relations and specifically how moscow is getting along with washington and indeed ever since the robert miller investigation was done and dusted and any kind of collusion between russia and donald was ruled out we never heard a word from vladimir putin on that specifically well that's up until today. we were saying from the beginning this month a commission would not find anything russia did not interfere in the u.s. elections and there was none of the collusion that money was looking for between trump and russia we did not know when he came to moscow he came as a businessman this is complete nonsense designed exclusively for a domestic audience. nothing really to add here it was very clear what the russian president wanted to say here and the next turn in that conversation was rather
1:03 pm
predictable as well if the robert moeller probe is over and if no signs of collusion between washington and mr trump were filed what's next for the between the u.s. and moscow what's next in terms of how specifically the two presidents get along will lattimer putin accept donald trump's invitation that dated back to the helsinki summit to. washington and could at least these ties between these two countries could they start getting back to normal the russian president said that he wasn't really expecting that to happen and then he went on to say that he believes there is some deep trouble in america internal politics he actually called it a real crisis that never happened in the history of the country. is part of
1:04 pm
a wider crisis in the u.s. political system the groups that attack illegitimately elected president they don't accept the choice of the american people they want to overturn the result is a political crisis unlike anything we've seen in u.s. history so we'll leave it there with all the stuff that has to do with america there was something else very special about the specific international arctic forum the participants in fact the leaders from two countries sweden and norway the prime ministers who back in two thousand and fourteen decided to join the chorus of western nations who wanted to isolate russia as a result of the crisis in ukraine now i can remind you that ever since then pretty much all contacts on the highest level work cut well now they are in st petersburg and they are talking directly to president vladimir putin but they decided at least in that particular room to avoid the sharper angles everything
1:05 pm
they said sounded rather diplomatic and they chose to stake his things like carbon emissions climate change and those melting ice is in the arctic which are very important issues and deed as well this is actually the reason why everyone is gathered here but i can tell you that and minds of journalists they want to hear about that molar probe again and again. u.s. president has pledged to place tariffs with eleven billion dollars on the e.u. goodson response to the book subsidies for the european aerospace join us here and discuss the move and the reaction from europe with our correspondents shiela do bensky and peter all ever. eleven billion dollars so it's not peanuts at all that is billion with a big way that donald trump has said he wants to place entire earth on goods coming from the european union into the united states of course when it comes to this
1:06 pm
presidential administration how was it announced through twitter. the world trade organization fines of the european union subsidies to air bus has adversely impacted the united states which will now put terrorists on eleven billion dollars of new products the u.s. taking advantage of the u.s. on trade for many years it will soon stop so what type of things are going to be affected by these tariffs if it gets approved by the world trade organization and eventually goes through we're looking at different types of cheeses we're looking at lemons all of oil kashmir's sweaters not electrical wall clocks but the thing is this has nothing to do with cheese and almost certainly has absolutely nothing to do with not electrical war clocks this is all down to an ongoing dispute between the european airspace giant airbus and of course boeing the major u.s. air space giant boeing is the largest producer or and export of aerospace
1:07 pm
technology united states it's a huge colazal to him when it comes not only to commercial aerospace technology but also to military technology as well and of course the plane donald trump flies around in air force one that's also a boeing jet as well there are big problems for boeing right now they've been involved in two fatal air crashes in the last five months resulting in three hundred and forty six deaths that's the crashes involving lion air and ethiopian airways both of those planes that went down were the boeing seven three seven max and that well apart from the obvious tragedy that comes with it. tanked their share price donald trump says despite the problems that boeing is being going through he stands behind the company grounding was a big thing and it's a great company it's a truly great company and hopefully they'll figure it out very quickly because it
1:08 pm
was a big and it's a big decision it's also one of our largest extra orders. one of our you know truly one of the truly great companies of the world they have to figure it out for so they know that they're under great pressure but this just seems like it's donald trump doing business as donald trump those business we have seen it throughout his career but in his presidential korea we saw just last year how he launched into china to the european not promising tariffs on. steel imports into the united states he has said he wouldn't shy away from a trade war that certainly doesn't seem like he's willing to right now peter thank you for those details are paid to all of us speaking to his life from berlin let's cross over to paris now and our correspondent shiela do penske and charlotte what has been the reaction from europe e.u. and china were actually meeting in brussels today to talk about the future of their own trade agreements they talked about reform all of that in the future which china
1:09 pm
has said for the first time that it will cooperate in many were expecting them to touch on those trade wars which of both blocs have with the u.s. but nothing was said perhaps saying nothing about trump and trade rules with them that speaks more volumes indeed but we did hear from the european commission in regards to this new element this eleven billion dollars of tariffs that trump is talking about slapping on european products it said it remains open to discussions with the u.s. but says it will hold those discussions as long as there are no preconditions to the. the european commission has also said it will be speaking to the w t o of a treat to get them involved in this the commission is starting preparations so that the you can probably take action based on the arbitrator's decision on
1:10 pm
retaliation rights in this case the european union remains open for discussions with the united states providing these without preconditions and a mf'er outcome we've also heard from the e.u. in regards to that figure that eleven billion dollar figure same for them that that is a grossly exaggerated figure and that's echoing what we've also heard from us which is course that the by the storm in regards to this. also sees no legal basis for these u.s. proposals these tariffs on european products are saying that it's also had taken all the measures that it was asked to comply with according to a w t o report that came out in two thousand and eighteen this is what tells us that say we don't seen a legal basis for this all this is leading to a necessary trait tensions and shows that the only reasonable solution in this long
1:11 pm
tree dispute is a settlement which is something we have said since the beginning meanwhile here in france we've been hearing from france's finance economy minister play no limit he's been talking about the fact that they needs to be a friendly solution to these trade wars between the e.u. and the us it doesn't look like that is something that's going to go down well. other reaction then we asked economist and author stephen cain how he expects the e.q. to react and which u.s. industries it might target. dealing with trump is a totally different experience of dealing with any president previously those would bluster but then that would be negotiated by the diplomats this would have been almost decided by trump tweets so they know the only way to prod is to fight back directly and i'm pretty certain i will slap tariffs on american products and i might well go for the so the areas where america has a obvious advantage which is in computing design of computing maybe even
1:12 pm
intellectual property i mean i'm not trying to claim to live in billion worth of subsidy i'm sure that's vastly exaggerated but if you take a look at the level of contracts that boeing got over the last couple of years it's getting about twenty billion in contracts for you from the pentagon now we know anybody who produces the pentagon massively of a process so fundamentally this is subsidies are going coming in through the military wing of america which is like a lodger than anything your opinion in a strong it in a bus. britain could soon have the toughest internationals in the world so it has a government plan called online homes which suggests penalizing re blocking websites that fail to take down potentially harmful content covering everything from child abuse to disinform nation but as party boy explains there a fear is that where there's regulation there's also censorship. too much freedom can be dangerous that's the message from the u.k. government which has unveiled ambitious new plans to even see this safest corner of the internet the country that's famous for bringing in mary poppins is aiming to be
1:13 pm
the well best online nanny with pushing a legal duty of care on these companies to keep uses safe and if they fail to do so tough punishments will be imposed. the era of social media firms regulating themselves is over it's time to do things differently it's time to keep our children safe so how is the british government going to make the u.k. the safest place to enjoy the net well for starters there are going to be some strict new rules any company that allows online interaction will be responsible for their users safety as well as the content that appears on their services in the most obvious examples that will mean purging illegal material related to terrorist and child sexual exploitation and abuse and if companies fail to clean up their act the likes of facebook and twitter will be put on the naughty step by
1:14 pm
a new independent regulator for the internet companies will face substantial fines for failing to pull down dangerous or extremist materials if the fines don't work bosses of the offending firms could be liable to criminal prosecution and if that fails to websites could be blocked entirely for u.k. internet users and that regulator should have teeth so we're going to consult not just on remedial notices on fines and that can be up to four percent of global turnover at the moment none of this is law yet they'll be twelve weeks of public consultation only after that draft legislation will be drawn op but there are already concerns over the prospect of tough new regulations there's so much come to know that you can just influence. well really anybody but especially the younger generation kids i would disagree i think the internet is something which is open
1:15 pm
and it was a good thing that it was always open and not regulated by any any form of government or whatever i think it's probably a good idea i think this is enough regulate that i think it's. a pretty good. idea i think it's a good idea to have some protection in there but its plans how stringent and how close they are to every day stuff internet needs better regulation most definitely why. two three four. and then the government says it wants to remove what it calls harmful content but who will be the arbiter of what stays out up and what goes down so those social media companies will have to do two things first is to set out filters process to see just to show that they are doing whatever they can you know to to prevent material that could potentially cause serious harm to young children a lot of people in the second they will have to act in
1:16 pm
a speedy manner to any request to remove such material at the moment the government is still deciding whether the job of regulating should fall on the shoulders of a new independent body or an existing one like broadcast regulator off kong and when it comes to the big social media fams well like students craving more stringent discipline facebook has tentatively welcomed the plan for greater and government oversight with a caveat or to. these are complex issues to get right and we look forward to working with the government and parliament to ensure the new regulations are effective the u.k. government says it wants to be a trailblazer but the question is how to implement strictest safety measures as without restricting freedom of the internet ahead a european court finds russia violated the rights of a high profile anti-corruption campaign in twenty fourteen and polls close in less

1:19 pm
elections there are more than fifty parties competing although only two have a real chance of forming minix government are busily could party headed by prime minister benjamin netanyahu who fancies himself as a strongman among the successes he's talked about is getting his ally american president donald trump to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital to recognize israeli sovereignty of the golan heights and also to label iran's revolutionary guard as a terrorist organization but that's not enough for the prime minister just before the elections he was asked if he would consider and mixing territory in the west. yet we will go to the next stage in imposing israeli sovereignty in the west bank has made opponent is the same tryst with a distinguished military background for me israeli army chief guns he appeals to voters who feel that netanyahu has been in power for too long i think benjamin netanyahu has done a lot for the country he's served in public for more than two decades and thirteen years as a prime minister but is receiving enough is enough whoever wins will
1:20 pm
be a little joyful palestinians israelis in general are listening trying to compromise on the issues particularly interesting enough when it comes to young people according to a poll by the israel democracy institute we asked israelis on the streets of tel aviv what's his appeal to young people who live in the ration is much more violent . in the relieve like in the extreme. everything is extreme literally own with that fear creates a lot of unique unique to any. kind of a feeling of togetherness it's not too surprising that to me younger populations here's my levels of support to get the feeling i'm going to many guns. that i know is way to much. to do much about. a lot of

angela merkel to try and get support for a delay until june the thirtieth is now easier for the french president to learn right from three british pm is then jus in brussels for an emergency summit on wednesday where the possible extension will go to a vote. almost three years since the bracks that referendum and many in the u.k. have changed their minds on whether they should leave the union at all the town of boston which is about one hundred kilometers north of london is home to thousands of migrants from eastern european countries back then it voted overwhelmingly to leave the e.u. so let's see where the pendulum is now. the people. we have to vote we do so much silly stick to it. and let's get out now it's price thanks to all the jokes even on the land men use today the wife has this take it the job is now we have no tradition man ace we're not even allowed to celebrate still for case that offends pay paul. respect this town you know to drink i'm
1:23 pm
sure a. time if you integrate in the community it's your work you pay your taxes so you try to get along with the others i think there shouldn't be any problems because we are people of the world we all could we belong to each other we should help each other instead of like there's that. research fellow at the university of edinburgh dr kevin explains what's next for breakfast now with the prime minister resetting to brussels yet again. it's much more likely that. the rest of the you want to keep the pressure on the u.k. government to make sure that if they are to be requesting a an extension that there is some kind of purpose for it that there's a plan for why either extending it to them is always try to emphasize that these extensions are technical extensions are there to sort of the process in the commons and in the lords can go through depending on how these negotiations with the labor party go. to the date of the thirtieth of june is already being put out there so
1:24 pm
