the. leaders of russia north korea hold their first ever joint summit after more than two hours of face to face talks by. kim jong un and expressed a willingness to work towards the deep nuclearization of the korean peninsula. because the interim chairman king also pleased to tell the u.s. about his position and about the questions he fears in connection with the situation on the korean peninsula and president and some of his most unpopular policies during a speech saying that defusing the widespread public anger sustaining france's nationwide protests. so he would report notes u.s. international and government forces in afghanistan are responsible for more

civilian deaths than the militias they were fighting to get reactions from locals. in the child or woman killed in afghanistan the afghan government should ask the foreign forces about them but there is no one to watch we have concerns we want the americans and i says to stop killing our people we do when the u.s. nato here. live from moscow what's not to international wherever you are tonight thanks for joining us on the program. has invited lot of putin to visit north korea that follows what the d.p. r. k. s. leader described as a very meaningful exchange in russia's far east the two heads of state met for the very first time on thursday they discussed denuclearization efforts on the korean peninsula international sanctions as well as the country's bilateral ties our correspondent in the trunk was a lot of us talk. well it turns out that in

a sense john is counting on volodymyr putin as a kind of a middleman in delivering his messages to the rest of the world leadership by the way mr putin's next destination is beijing there you have it but it looks like chairman kim is hoping that his message will get all the way to washington through russia as well but its. chairman king also be directly to tell the u.s. about his position and about the questions he has in connection with the situation on the korean peninsula we also found out that the russian leader as confident that pyongyang essential desire is international security guarantees guarantees for sovereignty and when it comes to dating queries nation according to mr putin the only way forward is through these kind of guarantees i would like to remind you

that for years russia's peace road map was about mutual concessions from both sides of north korea on the one hand and south korea and allies on the other and china is backing of this plan to well the russian president believes that for years every step forward made by washington was followed by two steps backwards . we need some confidence building measures to be taken which could have been taken back in two thousand and five when the u.s. and north korea came to an agreement however later on for some reason the american partners thought this was no it's enough that they needed to add something more to this agreement that's when north korea with drew from the treaty if you're making a step forward in two steps back you'll never succeed after what we heard on thursday it is definitely fair to say that there is a lot of potential in camp putin some. and by the way the president of south

korea said that this summit in florida boss dog should act as a springboard for further top rank diplomacy between washington and pyongyang so chairman kim has been drawing contacts with the most powerful politicians on this planet has two historic summits with the american president donald trump were followed by one with a lot of more putin and it looks like mr kim knows what he's doing when he splaying his geo political game and let's take a closer look at the most fear during the talks and just how president putin welcomed his korean counterparts in russia's far east.

body language expert howard feldman told us his thoughts on what the. latest body language could mean. one of the interesting things about of that to me putin and and we see this often with him in every he's meeting he's very protective of the of his own space it's very rare for somebody to come into his zone or close to his proximity when they shook hands he was quite dominant kim kim jong il and by dominant i mean his is and takes all the downward position we saw that kim jong il wanted to try and establish a bit of dominance there himself when he got to that point that's when putin kind of left god is quite a long handshake and i think vet and shake was well was very important by the time that they were sitting on those chairs having that conversation there was very very

little movement from king kim jong un he was quite. uncomfortable i think there was a sense of relief that this was over actually for kim jong un. and there's no doubt that this summit was really about just having a summit the he it was an easier discussion in that it was really just about more about the historic event he was quite relieved whether it was whether it was over but i don't think by any means there there it had gone exactly how he was hoping that it would go. on made an impassioned address to the french public on thursday night in which he promised the raft of social reforms but in a televised speech which was aimed at quelling the widespread anger that's been driving the country's yellow vests protests you president defended some of his most controversial policies some of the reports from paris. thursday night saw president macaroons very first press conference at the elisei palace he was due to speak for

twenty minutes he spoke for almost an hour with his vision of what his mandate for the next three years of his presidency should be he talked about external things other than fronts particularly about borders saying that the shang going area in europe doesn't work he said that europe needs to be stronger and it needs to have stronger borders usually and so they we must take note of the for good things ongoing as well as they should be on the european level and we have decided to have common borders the much talked about sharing an area with the rules of the dublin called they do not work anymore now in terms of more internal issues which have a risen from the last few months of the grand debates here in france he said that in future there will be lower taxes he also said that pensions with less than two thousand euros a month will be reindexed from the first of january twenty twentieth's that's next

year meaning that they will rise at the same rate of inflation now he also talked about more referendums taking place in saying that the threshold for things to be discussed in parliament would be lowered to a million registration votes by citizens if they demand it and he also talked about cracking down on islam islam saying that that was against the cohesion of the nation now one of the more controversial issues that michael also touched on was the reforms that he introduced last year in two thousand and eighteen and this was the reform to the wealth tax which for many yellow vests has been a very big bone of contention let's have a listen to what president michel said about bans on who can be a member who will tax reform was widely perceived as a give to the world and the real financial injustice this reform did not remove the wealth type. it was a transform ation to encourage investment in the real economy research factories

and production because if there's no national investment there is no economy it's my duty to defend the pragmatic reform we'll review it in twenty twenty and if it's not effective or too large we will correct it it's a reform to achieve results not a gift to the richest president michael may have spoken for almost an hour with the wind to aging discussion of the things he'd like to do over the next three years but what he would like to learn quite a lot was the details so yes he talked about lower taxes but he didn't specifically say what that meant in terms of the figure well the yellow vest protests just be happy with what's been announced it's unlikely what we do know is that these protests have been some of the most violent in france for more than half a century. now the cools is the right one and we're not going to change it just because the wind is blowing.

professor of french and francophone studies paul smith and political commentator brick wall say the president's offers are unlikely to quell the widespread public anger. the french population is in favor of what he's suggesting so this was kind of playing catch up with us almost certainly though we know there are going to be protests at the universe don't really seem to have very very much to do to offer apart from turning up in france the city centers and and causing disruption but it's the broader movement of the yellow vests those who we don't hear very much from who are kind of being pushed to the edge use that may well be a bit more open to what. is suggesting people are unhappy with this policy but what is true is that there is no united demand about what to do with this is that school

i didn't say the european union there's nothing else you can do because you have been one to force these sort of nearly well it's loans and of course engage with that but even if they didn't can do anything about it so is the dilemma in a.c.s. measure is more social spending more. or less taxes that you said means this course is it is going to get i don't know how it's going to balance the budget there's a lot of those alleged so it seems to me that this is mostly you know this course of discourse is trying to satisfy people that. the content is too deep. i'm going to start local government u.s. and international forces have been responsible for more civilian deaths than the militant forces they've been fighting that's according to a new u.n. report the findings reveal in the first three months of this year almost six hundred civilian deaths were documented in the country most of the deaths come from

a strikes conducted by international forces led by the united states and nato the number of victims is up almost forty percent on the same period last year we spoke to locals for their reaction. no more than you know we always requested from the american forces and the afghan government if you want to bombard any areas please take care of the civilians there don't target civilians for any child or woman killed in afghanistan the afghan government should ask the foreign forces about them but there is no one to watch we have concerns. north of our people have been killed or injured women have become widows children have lost their fathers people have lost eyes we want the americans in isis to stop killing our people we don't want the u.s. and nato here we will work with each other that are the work that we that we request from foreign forces and afghan government forces and from the taliban that if you are fighting with each other do not use residential areas as a position or if the american forces do not take into consideration the civilian

casualties in afghanistan and they continue killing civilians by naming them insurgents the future will be very bad for them and u.s. military forces have launched investigations of the previous u.n. reports washington currently has about fourteen thousand troops in afghanistan most of them are involved in not operational nato led training missions in december it was reported that president trump would reduce u.s. forces in the country there's been no sign of that being put into action white house has been seeking a peaceful resolution of america's longest ever war there are concerns though that any deal could lead to a new wave of instability in the region. spend close to one trillion in the afghanistan all of that is a truce if you screw up on the day after a peace agreement a dramatic decrease in not only troops but financial support for the afghan government will mean the collapse of the government you have five hundred thousand some troops and police who are trained and have weapons you have sixty thousand

taliban who are trained killers they want to be reintegrated plan for that. meanwhile just a day after the u.n. report on afghanistan was published on the things that are tional and air war supporters to report on civilian casualties in the syrian city of rocco back in twenty seventeen found the u.s. led coalition was responsible for the deaths of some sixteen hundred civilians that's ten times the number admitted by the us government writer and commentator abdel bari atwan thinks the us must stop such practices people are killed that they are. willing parties there are you know civilian areas there are bombing schools so i think this kind of bombardment should be stopped because the civilian people who are paying the price for war are paying the price for this american actress does in that part of the words i believe the american troops american administration is fully responsible for. among the civilian the particular

modernist thousand people were killed that american administration is a responsible because the supposed to be in control of the actually should be. responsible will be spending and be a little community should actually take action against. microsoft's fake news watchdog called news guard is facing heavy criticism in the u.k. it's labeled as trustworthy three controversial tabloid newspapers the sun daily mirror and the daily star it's not the only issue that the new blacklisting program is raising artie's little quarter picks up the story. remember news guard that handy dandy microsoft program that tells you what is and isn't fake news while they're still hard at work putting little green checkmarks next to information they like in search engines use cards co-founder calls it applying a little common sense to searching information we're going to a ploy common sense to

a problem that the algorithms haven't been able to solve we're going to hire the dozens of journalists to read and review the seventy five hundred news information so common sense might not be enough if the admins are living under a rock the whole robert muller's report is out and many liberal tall tales about trump russia collusion have been debunked still a lot of those stories are marked with a big friendly checkmark trump sharing polling data with the russians check except it's not true muller subpoenaing bank records check but same thing not true trumps lawyer secretly meeting with a kremlin official in prague well at least they change the article a bit still a big check even though the title isn't exactly true in fact the checkmarks don't even have to do with how wrong the story is if news guard trusts the outlet they're good to go our green red reading signal if website is trying to get it right or

instead has a hidden agenda or knowingly publishes falsehoods or propaganda so i guess the takeaway from that is that outlets like the new york times and buzz feed's don't really have hidden agendas and if that sounds ridiculous to you don't worry news guard will make sure you know right from wrong soon enough what's interesting to note is their reaction is they're saying we are not necessarily acknowledging or passing judgment on the veracity and accuracy of the information we're just passing judgment. on these source of it these people this source this group this website this newspaper this whatever we give them our check mark we approve of them what they say wow we don't really necessarily pass judgment on that if you go down

the list of all of those items which have passed editorial muster it's the same it's breathtakingly obvious to anybody that if your story or if you are source repeats this mean this trope that there was russian collusion. effect of just as anything negative to trump it will be checked and approved without and me problem not misleading trustworthy they're a fireball job well done. u.n. security council meeting on the crisis in eastern ukraine was held on thursday representative called the session in response to a new russian initiative that will make it easier for people in the war torn regions of the nets congrats to obtain russian citizenship caleb opens got the details. now the fifteen member body that leads the united nations held

federation he emphasized that the situation in east ukraine where the people have been under blockade and not able to receive medical aid and such has been rather dire and that if it weren't for the humanitarian efforts of russia these people would be left with nothing the u.s. and other countries have accused russia of somehow violating the minsk agreement by offering russian citizenship the russian ambassador was very clear that this was not a violation of the minsk agreement however he argued that many of the actions of which continue to keep the people in the eastern regions isolated have indeed violated the terms and the spirit of the minsk agreement so clear disagreements within the u.n. security council chamber when it comes to the situation in ukraine. the head of the self declared lookouts cripples republic in eastern ukraine has confirmed the deaths of two people in an explosion at a coal mine the fate of fifteen others is currently unknown it's believed that the blast was caused by me thing ghastly from a cost of. people's republic emergency services haven't arrived

marks an alarming escalation in the use of the death penalty in the country the rights group described the punishment as grotesque broadcast if courts. few things so is much fear into the hearts of your own people is mass executions the men were executed for adopting terrorists and extremists thinking and performing terrorists else to corrupt and destabilize security allegedly among their crimes was this respect towards authority some of them can you believe that like the king protested against him so serious with their crimes that one of those executed was also crucified yes crucified in two thousand and nineteen his body strong up for all to see all the fia. today's mass execution is a chilling demonstration of the saudi arabia. no authorities callous disregard for

human life it is also yet another gruesome indication of how the death penalty is being used as a political tool to crush dissent from within the country's shia minority in fact almost half of those killed were executed after taking part in pro-democracy protests see the arab spring didn't skirt saudi arabia the shia minority rose up they wanted change better fairer life the king obviously thought they wanted too much. one of those executed by the way was sixteen years old at the time of his arrest

attending a protest apparently he was still a kid now is an example you wouldn't believe how creative the saudis are when it comes to killing prisoners in fact the current king began his reign by staging a massive execution forty seven people by haddad shot for crimes that included disobey and saudi rulers biggest blood show since the nine hundred eighty s. who said fictions and common peaked in two thousand and twelve and five people were strung up paralysis reportedly is also in a judge's arsenal seriously they can sentence a person to be paralyzed as punishment roots back to a four thousand year old law or that someone wrote on a stone pillar to throw a tooth and literally in this case a knife or a knife saudis to. very seriously in two thousand and five

a court in saudi arabia ordered a migrants i gagged out as punishment for getting into a fight and putin also a favorite especially for theft chopping off people's arms and feet stealing and of course stoning reserved for crimes like being too friendly with the opposite sex what can you say you want to cherry on top saudi arabia's on the un human rights council what a world. has defended its decision to execute individuals. will not hesitate to punish anyone threatening the security and stability of the kingdom a spokesperson for the gulf institute for the moccasin human rights for two more years back believes the saudi justice system cracks down on those whose views differ from the official position. it's not the first time which so going to be

with the death penalty to punish prisoners of conscience who hold dared to spoke out about the human rights violations in the country we've not just there and i think around five of the of the executive people who where really charged by terrorist to terrorism target we don't trust saudi arabia introducer system we don't trust how did how did the saudi authorities handled their magic especially against the british there's whole took to the streets to demand rights and freedoms and who spoke out about what was happening in the country. as most of the gulf kingdom saudi arabia uses is to did you show the system to fabricate the charges against their dissidents especially against the activists who spoke out or who lose their social media outlets or rules participated in demonstrations there is a taboo in the gulf kingdom especially in saudi arabia no one is

a low just speak about what's happening in the country. for the soldiers coming up to four thirty am join us again with a few minutes for the latest global news up. should just have to keep it as i live eat here in yourself and. find. leave no. need to. be young. again beyond. we have many things in this world sounds this isn't enough for everyone and why some peoples wants to take our things all the power

just for themselves and to see another human. being. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next about different clubs on one hand it is logical to go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective i'm used to surprising people. or not if you think. i'm going to talk about football not for you or else you can sink i was going to go . by the way what is

it that flying here. imagine that you run a blood bank. in one room are dead patients. they've been dead since two thousand and eight j.p. morgan goldman sachs do it your bank b.n.p. society generali just b. c. etc and in the other room you have living middle class people and the point of blood bank is to take blood from the living middle class people and to transfuse blood to the dead banks next door as if they've been dead now for more than ten years the people that are in the middle class are going to start to suffer and suffer horribly and many of them will die by the way they won't be getting any of the blood from the other middle class people to keep them alive all the blood all the plasma goes to the.
