the stories that shaped the week the first of a summit between plenty of putin on north korea's kim jong il bilateral relations looks to remove nuclear capabilities from the korean peninsula. big news in the week to russia nationally a butcher that jailed in the u.s. for failing to register as a foreign agent but a lawyer says she's a victim of the current political climate in washington. none of. his activities in the us were illegal. in and of themselves but you are caught up in this if you russia's history. saudi arabia comes under fire from the un and human rights organizations from mass execution with concerns that the charges against the thirty

seven mostly shia men were trumped up. hello sunday morning like one is just after eleven in the morning here in moscow live from russia around the world you this is out international this weekend and when you know news review of the week the big stories we brought you over the last seven days starting with this then from a nuclear free north korea to bilateral relations the team approach and kim jong un met for the first time on thursday russia's far eastern city of light of all stock to that summit after more than two hours of face to face talks the leaders expressed a willingness to further develop relations and tackle the situation on the korean peninsula. and that's just if we just had a fairly full right one to one conversation we managed to talk about the history of our bilateral relations and about the present day and the prospects of developing those relations but of course we also talked about the situation on the korean peninsula and exchanged views on what needs to be done to improve the situation. in

the audience mr president we have just had to authority exchange of opinions face to face on all of the true matters of mutual importance and i think you are the great times we are at the end of the day even though no agreements were signed it seems the leaders had a productive time the two exchanged so will this is a symbol of a neutral respect between nations and wept at the talks on into the lavished in a north korean state media ready saying kim is ready for more talks this time in pyongyang and it for trying to was following that big but i've also got some it for us.

literally minutes after the north korean supreme leader got inside his limo we were given the opportunity to come closer to his armored train. so unfortunately i won't be able to show you or see for myself any of the extraordinary facilities inside that tray that was used by cam john jones father i was trying to look through the window but obviously no chances and the security guards are. watch carefully to make sure that we don't touch it i've already been told off by the inside there are high tech communication facilities several conference room as well as luxury living quarters in the middle of the train there's

a special room for him john lewis wife and white next to separate carts for body guards there are two restaurants one is for the supreme leader himself and the second one is for the entire delegation there's even a special section for the leaders limo and they're the one that we saw on the station square that massive armored vehicles that actually fit into one of those. well it turns out that in

a sense john is counting on vladimir 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 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 to some german king also read directly to tell the us about his position and about the questions he says it could action with the situation on the korean peninsula we also found out that the russian leader as confident that pianka yang's is so. desire is international security guarantees guarantees for sovereignty and when it comes to dating poor ization according to mr putin the only way forward is through these kind of guarantees i

would like to remind you that four years russia's peace road map was of mutual concessions from both sides of north korea on the one hand and south korea and allies on the other and china is backing this plan to well the russian president believes that four years every step forward made by washington was followed by two steps backwards. but what are some cultures 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 the way they 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 withdrew from the treaty if you're making a step forward two steps back and you will never succeed. after what we heard on thursday it is definitely fair to say that there is a lot of potential in camp putin summit and by the way the president of south

korea said that this summit in blood of all stock should act as a springboard for further top ranked diplomacy between washington and pyongyang so chairman kim has been enjoying contacts with the most powerful politicians on this planet his two historic summits with the american president donald trump were followed by one with a lot of our putting and it looks like mr cameron knows what he's doing when he's playing his geo political game on expert on north korea we spoke to says the summit is part of the cave mediation role that most welcome play on the korean peninsula. or. it looks like now he tried to see someone else to help korea out in between recent by a letter of a meeting between north korea and the us he was so sure that he can't leave the meeting between the u.s.

and north korea but now he is sick somehow a four put inside here essentially achieved new election and or so now he can have a spotlights from the international community by playing the role for the korea over the korean peninsula as a peacemaker so it would be. for today's summit currently now south korea having air exercises rivero u.s. and south korea cannot be free from u.s. pressure because of that in a sense for south korea it could be a good to have. if russia can play the right role as a mediator because for south korea itself it could be a little bit tricky to work in between a u.s. and north korea. this move to give the headlines to russian national maria bhutto. to eighteen months in prison in the united states after she pleaded guilty to conspiring to

work to reduce did foreign agent the thirty year olds also said to try to influence the national rifle association and other conservative groups in the u.s. several american political figures were suspected to be involved in the case too in the courtroom rio's spoke emotionally about the effect this is had on her and on her family. my parents discovered my arrest on the morning news they're washed in the rural hollows in a savior in village i love them dearly but i harm the morally and financially they're suffering from all of that i destroyed my own life as well i came to the united states not under any orders but with hope and now nothing remains but penitence. i have reasons to issues that the main goal of their circumstance and she was to break her will and force her to really acknowledge something she might not have

done. but they are trying to save face i think grabbed her seized her and we put her behind bars but there is nothing they can charge or wish and to avoid looking with the killers they sentenced her to eighteen months just to show she is guilty of something. a father speaking exclusively to r.t. said that he and the rest of the family had been expecting a very different outcome here. we knew we weren't prepared for such a rough and just court decision. is

a russian citizen and given all these investigations she's been caught up in it even though the investigation had nothing to do with her nevertheless the us has found a coper it's a group over the past few months she didn't have any complaints about the condition of her confinement unlike before when she was badly treated and i was a bit discriminated against all of them were all in solitary confinement with will be allowed to two hours a night with oaxaca maria a lawyer is we all expected a different outcome when the fed verdict but it's hard to say how life will be for marion now the most important thing for us is that she returns home taking into account the. you know we spoke direct in his lawyer about the case to the dangerous president he believes it could set. i think it's impossible to separate from from the politics i think that there is a an underlying crime that he pled guilty to which you can make out under u.s.

law but i think the notion of this would have been investigated or and the rest would have been made for a typical foreign national who wasn't russian and wasn't in the car environment where in the u.s. i think it's almost impossible to to believe that southern politics has a lot to do with the atmosphere of the case and it's one of those things where if the elements of the crime are there they were selectively enforced in the sense and so i think it's hard to argue. the charges unregistered agent it's not foreign it's not secret agent it's not intelligence agent it literally is just doing something for someone else as being their agent not of maria maria's activities in the us were illegal in and of themselves so there's no classified information there's no political sensitive kind of information given she was not paid by by the

russian federation she was out of her shoes supported by americans while she was here financially but she got caught up in this and she rushes hysteria. i would fear that other countries will start applying the same standards and saying that any american who went abroad to another country and was involved in civil society organizations and social and met people and networks that's really all we're talking about doing are talking about anything more serious than that and reported back on those activities some in the u.s. so i think it's very dangerous because if other countries adopt the same as you're going to get it's head for tat situation with countries grabbing civilians of other countries as leverage or for other reasons and i think it's a bad idea that's just a snapshot of the stories we covered say in the last seven days there's more ahead after the break to more of the news that made the headlines so must keep the rights groups saudi arabia off the execution of dozens of prisoners convicted of terror

violent crimes what's the real story going on there just one of the headlines lined up after this break. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going

to do next that the ball different clubs on one hand it is logical to sit in the open fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge. and the fresh perspective i'm used to surprise. us all. i'm going to talk about football not for you or else you can see i was going to go . by the way ways look at slide here. is eleven fifty moscow time sunday morning good morning to you just tune to assume more the news that we brought you from the last seven days one woman killed and three of the people who did this i'm just last evening of fighting killing a rabbi in a shooting at a synagogue near san diego in california police have detained a nineteen year old man in connection with the instant the happens during

a service to mark the jewish holiday of passover the suspect reportedly posted an anti semitic message online before the attack authorities are investigating whether or not the incident was indeed a hate crime this all comes exactly six months of the most devastating attack on the jewish community in recent american history when eleven were killed in that atrocity in pittsburgh the synagogue where it took place has responded to the latest incident last evening saying the violence must end human rights lawyer believes it's a dangerous time to be a member of a minority group in america right now. i'm from pittsburgh i'm in pittsburgh now i was here when the synagogue was attacked here in pittsburgh this looks like a very similar incident and it's very clear that these people were attacked because they were jewish and so they believe this is a racism in general which includes you know my semitism. has a very large presence in america i think you know it's something america has

struggled with for you know a long time and it's a very dangerous time in this country to be in any racial minority any now that's just a bad i mean you see a world that's very much on fire at the moment in which racial and religious and ethnic tensions are high. international human rights groups have condemned a series of executions in saudi arabia this week thirty seven men reportedly mostly from the muslim minority were killed on terror and violence related charges one body was even strung up in public after his execution human rights watch states these killings mark an alarming escalation in the use of the death penalty in the country it also described the punishment as grotesque and expressed concern that those punished might not have received a fair trial a senior correspondent. reports few things so as much

fear into the hearts of your own people as 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 strung up for all to see for all the fear. today's mass execution is a chilling demonstration of the saudi arabia no authority and 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 back headed shot for crimes that included disobey in saudi rulers biggest blood show since the nine hundred eighty s. who said fictions and common peaked in two thousand and twelve when 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 and i saudis took that stone 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 pew taishan 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. of appalling ribs defended his actions outing it will not hesitate to punish anyone threatening the security and stability of the kingdom but the spokesperson for the gulf institute for democracy and human rights claims the saudi justice system often fabricates judges. 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 and five of the of the executive people who where really charged by

terrorists did it isn't 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 no 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 do share a system to fabricate the charges against their dissidents especially against the activists who spoke out. of their social media outlets or rules participated in demonstrations there is a taboo in the gulf kingdom especially in saudi arabia no one is allowed to speak about what's happening in the country. well just what wraps up the big news stories of the last seven days or a view of it this sunday was much more of course an outing dot com before we go though the fun of the sunday. news here this weekend for some from you his loyal

viewers because bart chilton our colleague and host of our tease financial show boom bust has passed away suddenly just three days before his fifty ninth birthday dynamism and passion for business greatly enriched the program we brought you which is popular one of the most popular shows in r.t. america before he joined the family network was commissioner of the u.s. commodity futures trading commission he also worked to multiple local federal and presidential campaigns but friends and colleagues have described him as a strong and dignified person say he treated everyone with respect in his day t.v. host and political commentator steve malzberg remembers the life banter. i think that i might have been the last show that he did which was several weeks ago and you know we had we had our usual fun on the air he always like to make. some kind of little joke in the introduction nor at the door or inject a little you more into it and it was just such

a pleasure to talk to him all the time and i that's that's what i'm going to miss most of all is is chatting with him and and you know him being a part of my daily routine of my life in and he being allowed to be in some way a part of his and i'm sure boom bust will go on i know that that's what bart would want. with lawmakers manufacture consensus instant public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round be the one percent.

normal middle of the room six news. real news for. american politics it's only american intensity and the notion that somebody playing games at the margins of the election could dictate even influence the outcome is frankly frankly absurd if we were to compare russia with the other states the united states has been fall or back in influencing the domestic politics of other countries. then russia.

only proves. that you need to be. put to it because it's. been one hundred seventeen the bolsheviks led by vladimir lenin seized power and set out to build the most equitable society on of the fall on the other countries followed russia's example but so far the recipe for universal happiness remains of use if people are still searching to this day. you could be. a failed. lot of whoosh only by did it got up when we were shown.
