we're part of the global news conference to participate in the show published works in video rich. dot com. in the stories that shaped the week the first ever summit between. north korea's kim jong il relations with the focus also on breaking the nuclear deadlock on the korean peninsula. russian national jailed in the u.s. for failing to register as a foreign agent but her lawyer insists she's a victim of washington's current political climate. lot of. activities in the us were illegal. in and of themselves but she got caught up in this and she rushes the star. and saudi arabia comes under fire from the un and human rights groups for a mass execution with concerns that the charges against the thirty seven men were

trumped up. it's the weekly here in alt international with me in a day or two to our highlights from the last seven days on the latest up to date stories welcome to the program from a nuclear free north korea to bilateral relations to me putin and kim jong un met for the first time on thursday in russia's fall eastern city of lot of os talk often the two hours of face to face talks the leaders expressed their willingness to further develop relations and tackle the situation on the korean peninsula. and that's just we just had a fairly thorough one two one conversation we managed to talk about the history of all 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 a foreign exchange of opinions traced to face almost two americas of mutual importance and i think you will do with great times you heard. and even though no agreements was signed it seems the ladies had a productive time that to exchange so it's as a symbol a financial respect to the nation and wrapped up the talks with a lobbyist in a north korean state media reported that came ready for more talks the next time in pyongyang. reports from a lot of talk. 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 father i was trying to look through the window but obviously no chances and the security guards are watching. 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 can 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 it looks like chairman kim is hoping that his message will get all the way to washington through russia as well it's a. german king also be directly to tell the us 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 is confident that pianka yang's essential desire is international security guarantees guarantees for seventy. and when it comes to dating queries ation 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 this plan too well the russian president believes that for years every step forward made by washington was followed by two steps backwards. but 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 will never succeed. after what we heard on thursday it is definitely fair to say that there is a lot of potential and kim putin summit and by the way the president of south korea said that this summit in vladivostok should act as a springboard for further top ranked diplomacy between washington and

pyongyang so chairman kim has been joining 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. and i expect the north korean we spend to says the summit is a win win for moscow and. it looks like an. in-between . recenter pilots are all meeting between north korea and the u.s. he was so sure that he can lead the meeting between the u.s. and north korea but now he needs. some help for put inside here essentially achieved you election and also now he can have

a spot lies 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 exercise really u.s. and south korea cannot be free from u.s. pressure because of a sense for south korea it could be 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 the u.s. and north korea. russian national maria bhutto was sentenced to eighteen months in prison in the united states on friday after she pleaded guilty to conspiring to act as an unregistered foreign agent essentially working as an undeclared lobbyist the thirty year old is said to have tried to influence the national rifle association and other conservative groups in the u.s. several american political figures was suspected to be involved in cotton is

bitterness spoke emotionally about the fact it's hard on her family. my parents discovered my arrest on the morning news they're washed in the rural hollows in a savior in a 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 she's not the main goal of their circumstances 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 to grab her seized her we put her behind bars but there is nothing they can charge of us and to avoid looking with the killers they sentenced her to eighteen months just to show she is guilty of something. whereas father exclusively told r.t. that he and the rest of his family had been expecting a very different outcome. we knew we weren't prepared for such a rough and unjust court decision. is a russian citizen and given all these investigations she's been caught up in it will even though the mother 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 we will be allowed to two hours a night with oaxaca maria bello is we will expect a different outcome when the fed verdict but it's hard to say how life will be for mary and now the most important thing for us is that she returns home taking into account least new joe he. may have gotten his lawyer told us he thinks a dangerous precedent may have been set. i think it's impossible to separate from from the politics i think that there is a an underlying crime that she pled guilty to which you can make out under u.s. law but i think the notion that this would have been investigated or in 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 this instance i think it's hard to argue. the charges unregistered agent it's not foreign it's not secret agent it's not an intelligence agent literally just doing something for someone else as being their agent none of. marie'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's out of her she was 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 it was involved in civil society organizations and social and met people and networks that's really all we're talking about doing are 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 a tit for tat situation with countries grabbing civilians of other countries as leverage or for other reasons that i think it's a bad idea. and shooting at a synagogue synagogue in california has left one woman that and three others wounded including a drop i please have detained a nineteen year old man in connection with the incident which took place during a service on saturday to mark the jewish holiday of passover the suspect reportedly posted an anti semitic message online before the attack authorities are

investigating whether the incident was a hate crime the assault came exactly six months after the most devastating attack on the jewish community in recent u.s. history eleven people were killed in the atrocity in pittsburgh the senegal where that shooting took place has responded to the latest instance saying the violence must end. israeli prime minister has also expressed his condolences to the victims and announced plans for a summit to look at the rising number of anti-semitic attacks around the world heman rights lawyer daniel covered it but he thought it said dangerous time to be a member of a minority group in the u.s. . 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 it's very clear that these people were attacked because they were jewish and so i believe this is. racism in general which includes you know 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 way. nor do i mean that's just a bad i mean you see a world that's very much on fire at the moment in which racial religious and ethnic tensions are high there is global condemnation after saudi arabia executes dozens of men or on that story after this break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race is on the spear in dramatic development the only city i'm going to resist i don't see that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit

down and talk. you know world of big part of the law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mid-stream refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks.

welcome back to the program international human rights groups have condemned a series of executions in saudi arabia this week thirty seven men mostly reportedly from the muslim minority were killed unquote terror and violence related charges one body was even strong up in public following his execution human rights watch states the killings market and alarming escalation in the use of death penalty in the country it's also described the punishment as grotesque and express concern that those punished might not have received a fair trial here's our senior correspondent mark. things so was much fear into the hearts of your own people is mass executions the men were. an executive 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 to fear. today's mass execution is a chilling demonstration of the saudi arabia 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 behaved it 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 one 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 and i for an hour saudis took that. very seriously in two thousand and five a cordon saudi arabia ordered a migrants are a guy out as punishment for getting into a fight and. also a favorite especially for theft chopping off people's arms and feet for stealing and of course still running reserved for crimes like being too friendly with the opposite sex or can you say you want to cherry on top saudi arabia is on the you

when human rights council what a world. in response to the widespread condemnation the saudis say they will not hesitate to punish anyone threatening the security and stability of the kingdom. a swedish computer programmer invested in ecuador for an alleged cyber attack on government systems has finally been allowed to see visitors would have been his parents were granted access to him in jail on tuesday and as he and his parents insist there's no foundation for the charges this week is foreign minister is also demanding ecuador explain his arrest with binny is an expert in cyber security and also a digital privacy advocate he's reportedly linked to wiki leaks and was detained just hours after whistleblower julian assange was arrested in the ecuadorian embassy in london earlier this month we spoke to a list father who didn't get to talk to slower in the road.

give it to me to console in the right and there was so many wrong things that were down there everything else is that one book of noam chomsky and us that he has a lot of memory sticks and that is all her and that is not enough to arrest the person human rights activists say there's no proof only beneath guilt and a number of celebrities activists and politicians have signed an open letter to the swedish government calling for help to free the program his artie's on quarter. seems being friends with juliana sonship might just cost you your freedom as the wiki leaks co-founder was dragged into the back of a british police van another hacktivists shared a similar fate all of being he was arrested on the same day allegedly for working with assad and for several years now one of the key members of the week you leaks in a person close to me is to do the songe has lived in the uk with do and we have sufficient

evidence that he has been collaborating with the us to bligh's ation attempts against the government prosecutors charged with attacking ecuadorian computer systems and their evidence laptops and encrypted u.s.b. stick seized from beanies home president lenin moreno pointed to frequent travel as a mark of guilt suspecting being a visited a songe to do his bidding and one of the reasons he kicked out a songe was suspicion he was using the ecuadorian embassy as a hacktivist ecuador's interior minister says it will not be tolerated even if it's mere suspicion it is up to the justice system to determine if he committed a crime but we can't allow inquiry to become essential for piracy in spying that period in our history is over so just hours after assad was dragged out of the dorian embassy being he was detained in quito airport his lawyers say his rights were violated in many ways no charges no translator he was even denied bail and his

parents fear for his safety it's a tough time for him and he doesn't really understand why he's. forty has been accused of. and this isn't just another hacktivist we're talking about here benny worked on the advisory board for a major european commission funded project called de code the initiative involves cybersecurity experts researching data ownership and technological sovereignty human rights groups and high profile figures are calling for beanies immediate. release and also in sweden those and big newspaper that has been there. giving out this petition or open letter to our prime minister that he should be released and this has been signed over. about hundred very. prominent persons from around the world it shouldn't be dangerous for anyone in

ecuador or has to just know mr sausage several thousand kilometers north another assan sling tactic is to sitting in jail a u.s. federal appeals court has denied chelsea manning bail after she was arrested once again in march and for what refusing to testify in court against a songe it seems like any connection to wiki leaks can get you in jail so if you've ever rubbed elbows with julian a songe it might be better to keep quiet about it. that's on us now i'll be back at the top of the next hour with more updates but in the meantime do stay tuned for the documentary called get a vest fee for. facebook and google started with a great idea and great ideals unfortunately there was also

a very dark side. they are constructing a profile of you and that profile is real it's detailed and it never goes away turns out that google is manipulating your opinions from the very first character that you type into the search bar it will always favor one dog food over another one comparative shopping service over another and one candidate over another they can suppress certain types of results deiced on what they think you should be see if they have this kind of power then democracy is an illusion the free and fair election doesn't exist so the more growth we give them the sooner we are all hand. the people that are now doing those manufacturing jobs also start to innovate because that's where the innovation happens on the factory floor so the fact that

floors been moved to china that you point out that the cio let china end that we've moved all of our jobs manufacturing over china now all the innovations in china so we are it's not it's not created in california built in china is going to be created in china built in china. i. should put up this from she's a local. marshall could it. be.

some point. you. wouldn't. be able. to discuss it with those fees to stop the pushing a little false. because

. if you. keep it. i mean this week in office i figure i don't parade honoring our picking on this and yet you. two hundred set of it it was the second of all the models that. they communicate so slowly move. caffein video to facebook on his own. even while you can sit in a warm. room with the.

results from the can still talk to the fictional is in the. interest you could twenty two. of food come will knock usually too long food limit will come we see people who must be clean what's real history. do they do could. these from the rest of the but as usual. you do could judge them all. we have all new ministers from the set no volatile can
