in the stories of the week of the first summit between vladimir putin and north korea. relations with the focus also on breaking the nuclear. option. is jailed in the u.s. for failing to register as a foreign agent but. she's a victim of washington's current political climate. none of. us were illegal. themselves but she got caught up in this. claimed victory in an election that has also seen the far right of parliament for the first time in over four decades. and saudi arabia comes under fire from the un

and human rights groups for mass execution with concerns that the charges against the thirty seven mostly shia men were trumped up. broadcasting live. in the week's top stories with our weekly program this is our international. ride from a nuclear free north korea to biological relations vladimir putin met for the first time on thursday in russia's far eastern city. after nearly two hours of face to face talks the leaders expressed their willingness to further develop relations and tackle the situation on the korean peninsula. we just had to. say should we managed to talk about the history of 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 on the audience mr president we have just had a thorough exchange of opinions face to face on all our true matters of mutual importance and i thank you for the great triumph we had was and it is a. and even though no agreements were signed it seems the leaders had a productive time the two exchange swords as a symbol of the mutual respect between their nations and wrapped up the talks with a lavish dinner north korean state media reported that kim is ready for more talks next time. trying to reports now from vladivostok.

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 kim john father i was trying to look through the window but obviously no chances and the security guards or 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 wife and white two separate carts for bodyguards 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. and for the leaders limo and there the one that we saw on the station square that massive armored vehicle could 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 the 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 u.s. about his position and about the questions he says it today should with the situation on the korean peninsula we also found out that the russian leader is confident that pyongyang essential 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 about mutual concessions from both sides that 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. to you 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 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 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 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 followed by one with a lot of our putin and it looks like mr cameron knows what he's doing when he's playing his geo political game. all right an expert on north korea we spoke to says the summit is a win win for moscow and. or. it looks like now he tried to see someone else to help korea out in between a recent bilateral 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 needs. some help for put inside here essentially achieved new election and or so now he can have a sport lies from the international community by playing the role for the korea over the korean peninsula as a peacemaker so it would be puts his achievement 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 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. russian national maria bhutto was sentenced to eighteen months in prison in the united states on friday it's after she pleaded guilty to conspiring to act as an unregistered foreign agent essentially working as an undeclared and

lobbyist and three year old is said to have tried to influence the national rifle association and other conservative groups in the u.s. several american poll little figures were suspected as well to be involved in court ms bhutto spoke emotionally about the effect it has had on her family. my parents discovered my arrest on the morning news they washed in their rural hollows. 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 the circumstances she was to break her will and forces to really acknowledge something she might not have done.

they are trying to save face but we grabbed her seized her and what put her behind bars richard but there is nothing they can charge or wish to change and to avoid looking ridiculous they sentenced her to eighteen months just to show that she is guilty of something. moreas father exclusively told r t that he and the rest of his family had been expecting a very different outcome. 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 all even though the miller 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 discriminated against all of them were all in solitary confinement with will be allowed to two hours a night with oaxaca maria her lawyer is we all expected a different outcome whatever ticked 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. where britain as a lawyer told us he thinks a dangerous president 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 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 current environment or 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 charge is 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 sense of kind of information given she was not paid by by the russian federation 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 a more serious than that and reported back on those activities somewhere in the us 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 i think it's a bad idea. spain's ruling socialist workers party has claimed victory in sunday's general election it has failed to gain a parliamentary majority though and will now have to secure the support of other parties in order to form a government the polls also saw

a major breakthrough for the far right which will now enter congress for the first time in over four decades that led to jubilant scenes among vox party supporters in madrid. i just thought i was going to but he we all we twenty who is truly america who is incredible well we've got to. go with almost all of the ballots counted to the end time migrant votes party is projected to win two dozen seats in the three hundred fifty seat lower house will be the first time since the one nine hundred seventy s. and the end of spain's military dictatorship that the far right has been represented in parliament tensions over the law and independents are believed to have been a key factor in the party success here's a closer look at what vox stand for.

books is an instrument and works is the instrument to make the population move forward. into more equal spash a very dangerous polity. books fall rights franco's regime a style g.x. specs and legalisation of cats around parties the explosion of immigrants against abortion and such or all the power. that fox lost in violence to a frontal fascist hate to say it's like spain and spanish and now the horrible tenets of that. are we got reaction to the results from jordy grow and grow a pair of excuse me and international relations expert at princeton university.

being in. one of more important. national. pride who. made many people who remain. strong and its finest unique and therefore it's i'm not sure what created us was was part of my part. who were. clearly didn't need your. manager to see it on blogs just like a chapter on the great movement who were working with policy. has been an outpouring of support for the jewish community and the californian city of pa way in the wake of saturday's synagogue shooting which left one person dead

and three injured. someone filled with hate. when am. attacked the congregants at the bottom way an attack against our jewish brothers and sisters sad obviously for the congregation. they've lost their family member feel very bad for the for not only the jewish community but but all of us who are or having to witness these kinds of acts police have detained in one thousand year old man in connection with the incident which took place during a service marking 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 and 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 that atrocity in pittsburgh a synagogue where that shooting took place has responded to believe the incident

saying that violence must. be 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 human rights lawyer daniel kovalchuk believes it's a dangerous time to be a member of a minority group in the us. from pittsburgh 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 i believe this is a racism in general which includes and i 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 it's a very dangerous time in this country to be in any racial or ethnic minority mean that's just a fact i mean you see

a world that's very much on fire at the moment. in which racial religious and ethnic tensions are high. the 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 on quote terror and violence related charges one body was even strung up in public following his execution human rights watch states the killings mark an alarming escalation in the use of the death penalty in the country and also described the punishment as grotesque and expressed concern that hope those punished might not have received a fair trial here's what i've got a. 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 to 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 he's 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 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 the knifer and i saudis took that stone very seriously in two thousand and five a cordon 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 or can you say you want to cherry on top saudi arabia's on the un human rights council. what a world. in response to the widespread condemnation riyadh says they will not hesitate to punish anyone threatening the security and stability of the kingdom but the gulf institute for democracy and human rights claims the saudi justice system often fabricated charges. it's not the first time which so very be you that if you know t. took clannish prisoners of conscience who dared to spoke out about the human rights violations in the country we've not just dad there i think and five of the. executive people who where really charged by terrorist leader is in charge of we don't trust so i really enjoyed your system we don't trust how did how did the saudi authorities handled the matches especially against the british there's hotel

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 its you did you show the system to fabricate the charges against the dissidents especially against the activists who spoke out all who lose their social media outlets all rules participated in demonstrations there is a taboo in the gulf kingdom especially in saudi arabia no one is a low just about what's happening in the country. this wish computer program arrested in a good or for an alleged a cyber attack on government systems has finally been allowed to see visitors being eased her parents were granted access to him in jail on tuesday and he and his parents insisted there's no foundation for the charges the swedish foreign minister is also demanding ecuador explain his arrest mr binney is an expert in cyber

security and also a digital privacy advocate he is 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 all those father. we didn't get to talk too slow or in the right time and we didn't get to me to console in the right time and there was so many wrong things that were done there everything else is that one book of noam chomsky and us that he has a lot of memory sticks and that is all that. and that is not enough to arrest the person. human rights activists say there is no proof of all of beanies guilt and a number of celebrities activists and politicians and signed an open letter to the swedish government calling for help to free the programmer is archie's done a quarter. seems being friends with julian

a 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 beany 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 withdrew and we have sufficient evidence that he has been collaborating with the best applies ation attempts against the government prosecutors charged me with attacking ecuadorian computer systems and their evidence laptops and encrypted u.s.b. sticks 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 and 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 when he doesn't really understand why he's. forty has been there. and this isn't just another hacktivist we're talking about here beanie 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 the big newspaper that has been. giving out this petition or open letter to our prime minister. that he should be released and this has been signed over. above hundred very. prominent persons from around the world it shouldn't be dangerous for anyone in ecuador or elsewhere to just know mr sachs several thousand kilometers north another assad 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. and that is for me i'll be back

in about thirty one minutes with another look at your weekly you are watching international. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. want to. have two going to be close this is what before three of them or ten people that i'm interested in the waters about how. this should. be neat a political impulse needs to come. from. the normandie for. the haas been. giving guidance to the

process and so basically what i'm waiting for he's an author political impulse ideally stemming from the moment you. are. going to welcome two worlds apart from twenty two months five hundred six warrants over twenty five million dollars and their worst relationship to nuclear power has had in decades that's what it seems to produce a report confirming that damn merican president after all is not awaiting russian top.
