8:07 am
presidents that was confirmed in helsinki summit as well as in their conversation on this front of me when i was probably unplayable should go for the next year you would do that in the mirror but google book you're going to push the system to who should. we have multiple issues that require both urgent math and it's as well as long term sustainable solution doesn't assert so you should know it since you're the decisions of the midgets that bitterness you know and it's even that our board amounted to speech from view you were going to do and it was the produce that supports the motivation for your community that has to do with the situation in strategic stability sphere as well as more efficient way to tackle terrorism as well as finding solutions to different prices in different regions of the world and pretty much for serbia's that will mccarthy was memorable because it didn't produce didn't you know and you were in your mind you should look at the one you were going to remark about if it was a legislature in your religion reduced you'd know mushy washee was a plus misty was at work do whatever she wanted old so. now we see that there are certain suspicions and prejudice on both sides but this is not
8:08 am
a way for him to have a win win situation because that. mistrust that we have to endure is both your security and our security and causes concern around the globe but i'm not sure it's one of the absent goes through too much it's all so you mostly it's you who don't want to got to over $100.00 it's a discussion advanced people are going to totally learn solutions and. i believe that it is time to build a new more constructive and responsible magic's of our relationship of our mutual perception we are prepared to do that if our us colleagues and counterparts and ready to risk. case that you condition me. spirit much like you who cd in your honor it's the most known and the need to know until the end of the someone who will go home which you would personally so the germs across in addition to the us shouldn't open on the continent. i believe that
8:09 am
a prerequisite an important correct is it for success in following dialogue is to be to rebuild trust at all levels of our dial including the highest level and the working level as well ranging from that and considering that we have mad over the past 2 weeks where 2 times that's the reason for some optimism up over post-mortems which says try and see what happens. sergey thank you for hosting me appreciate it's great to see you again twice in a couple weeks excited about that and i don't we'll see you 2 i might likely at the g 20 will have many more opportunities for conversation i'm here today because president trump is committed to improving this relationship as as i think he said we have differences we each country will protect its own interest look out for its own interests of its people. but it's not it's not definitely we're adversaries on every issue and i hope that we can find places where we have a set of overlapping interests and can truly begin to build out stronger
8:10 am
relationships at least in those particular on those particular issues i've seen it myself with more closely with you on counterterrorism during my time in service in the executive branch very successfully we've saved american lives we've saved russian lives as a result of that good honest sincere work together and i think on issues such as arms control the nuclear proliferation we talked about some of the regional conflicts and terrorism i think there there are spaces where we can get our teams and begin to build out a common set of understanding and i hope too that we can begin to build out our strategic security dialogue as you and i spoke. about when we were in finland a couple weeks back and i hope to separate i hope this good faith effort on the part of each of our 2 nations as directed by president trump and president putin. will stabilize the relationship and put it back on a trajectory that i think would be good for not only each of our 2 countries and
8:11 am
each of our peoples but for the world as well i know that frank discussions i'm sure there'll be places we just can't find common ground but i look forward to our time together to. sit by just by simply just victim of this issue i'm so sure thought of it as opposed to anything it's really knew what you understand with emotion for the bodies you should ask as national know as with the show was more sinister go out it's nasty she but showed what zakia obama should present the president down until it's. spread it's now she was in that machine you have mr nationalist on the me. he's just and that is in my eyes there's a show it's very substance usa needs to stand up are awesome we're not going to poor around them up and also use the ground i could use through a process of the national media supply that among others the old so that i was there but it will literally to keep its civs in that machine and i'd see serious thought on the each of a possible got out of nationalism a question your mortgage rates. some over the model for that storm we look at it

8:14 am
ship left their port carrying material that will not be used in the come back past me you countries are under increasing pressure over their arms still to saudi arabia so it even has the story. well amnesty international has blasted several european union states saying they have failed to poll their obligations in regards to the arms trade treaty because they're selling weapons to saudi arabia lived with them that will likely be used in the war in yemen the bar has been bouncing off european ports like a pinball this is a serious test of the country's resolve to uphold the obligations on the arms trade treaty and e.u. common position on arms exports several states have food this test in the space of just a few days now the concern is that some of these weapons could be being used on the frontline in the war in yemen and could be being used against civilians now that
8:15 am
yemen conflicts been ongoing now since 2014 around 10000 people have lost their lives in the conflict and millions have been pushed to the brink of starvation it's been described by the united nations as being the world's worst humanitarian disaster and the concern from amnesty international is that if it is possible that the weapons being sold by e.u. member states to saudi arabia are being used in any way to perpetuate war crimes or to violate international law then not means that they have broken the obligation when it comes to the arms trade treaty the voyage reminds us that states prefer. to a low lucrative global trade to continue to operate behind a veil of secrecy well amnesty points out that is saudi cargo ship has been making the rounds at several poor european states for the last week or so we know that it was able to dock it and twerp in belgium and it was able to receive
8:16 am
a supply of missions there and since then it's tried and failed to visit several other european ports and now we do know that the belgian foreign minister has acknowledged that there are concerns over the sales and this is what he had to say going to be you know you would be good to suspend all deliveries to saudi arabia if it was shown that had been used on going conflict such as in yemen which case the regional government must make that decision would not be possible now here in france we had confirmation from the defense minister this flawless polly that that saudi cargo ship was also due to dock in the port of laughter in northern france and was due to receive a shipment of arms from france as part of the sales to saudi arabia and now this is what she had to say last week in regards to babs. the arms delivery according
8:17 am
to him and 2 issues made a few years ago he appealed that news was met with protests at the port of of when it was announced last week that's because there was a leaked investigation in the last month the show which alleges that the french government has been made aware by secretive military notes that weapons sold by france to saudi arabia could have been used on the front line in yemen and could have been used against civilians and that provoked lots of anger from people who wanted to stop that shipment from going ahead now president michael also spoke about this last week saying that he had received confirmation from. rehat that any france sold to saudi arabia wouldn't be used in this way but despite that because of the processed so those on were not able to be loaded on the ship and then it moved on its way attempting to visit ports in spain and now on its way to italy but
8:18 am
the controversy continues and many human rights organizations are unhappy that any of these sales are taking place in the 1st place what they've called on is for european union states to now halt those sales to saudi arabia off their arms. earlier the french defense minister said there was no conclusive evidence that french weapons were killing civilians in yemen saudi arabia itself denies targeting civilians deliberately claim that it's only interested in fighting who think rebels who sees yemen's capital in 2014 more news after this short break. this in petersburg international economic forum is a unique event in today's business world. over the last 21 years the forum has

8:24 am
a positive manner but harvard union actually ended those talks some harvard graduates have voiced their concern over the decision pointing out that everyone no matter how unpleasant is intitled to legal defense others went so far as to call harvard's decision and bear acing harvard says it based its decision on signals coming from students adding that the climate on the company campus had become untenable human rights attorney jennifer breathe told us all of this case does set a disturbing precedent. i am very surprised by harvard university especially given that this is from the last will at harvard i mean we're seeing in recent years how some of these top tier law schools like harvard are sort of going down and how they train their attorneys students these students chose to become attorneys but they're feeling unsafe because a professor or a dean chose to take on a case to defend somebody who's alleged of a crime this is a man and his wife who have nothing to do with allegations of harvey weinstein so not only are we seeing
