if you are. finished if you are that you. go in washington after all it's on key global issues but agree to reset ties and overcome their differences that's the take home message from the u.s. secretary of state might come visit to russia. also to come investigating the investigators the u.s. attorney general to sides to look into possible rule breaking during the middle of a probe into whether donald trump colluded with russia. has opted not to do the same for that part of the probe which concluded there was meddling by moscow and he's ready prime minister's son lashes out at germany's foreign minister suggesting that billions assurances that it stands by israel are contradicted by its support

of certain n.g.o.s the u.k.'s foreign secretary does not relax allowing qual way to participate in britain's 5 g. network stance despite pressure from the u.s. to ban the chinese telecoms giant over security b.s. . i welcome just gone 8 o'clock here in the morning here in moscow you're watching r.t. international the russian president vladimir putin says he's ready to resolve differences with washington and repair ties although admits major sticking points the remain on tuesday he met with the u.s. secretary of state might bump in the black sea resort of sochi where russia's foreign minister also held talks with his american counterpart. there's a pretty good in the list thank goodness and we also want to restore relations with the us i hope all the conditions are now being created despite the exotic wait the

mother commission working in the holy spirit came up with an objective investigation and proved there was no collusion between russia and the us the thing we branded as total nonsense from the very beginning. vladimir putin expressed hope that the preconditions and now are right for relations between the united states and russia which to be honest have been absolutely terrible the 2 biggest nucleus superpowers in the world refusing to as much as talk to each other all communications and until now frozen pretty much military communication. corp the financial spears in trade and culture and the game and sergey lavrov the russian foreign minister saying that they hope this might be a turning point. emphasizing certain. topics in which russia and the united states could easily corporate such as oil production among the top producing

countries in the world they could talk about the market supplying the global community. also. have a lot at stake there russia especially with. terror that's being exported out of the drugs the united states likewise they could talk with north korea. north korea nuclear rising the peninsula a whole host of topics expressing hope that now as i said could be the turning point. with his american counterpart think about every hot issue hot topic in the world every crisis that's happening in the world right now starting a business with a. chunk of that time spent on that and. they agreed to disagree on venezuela we have disagreement i urge my russian colleagues to support

the venezuelan people as they return democracy to their country. the united states and more than 50 other nations agree that the time has come for nicolas maduro to go he's brought nothing but misery to the venezuelan people. and we hope that the russians support. for my girls will and democracy to sheila and use them a democracy can be imposed by force the threats coming both from u.s. officials and the opposition leader. who is always reminding us of the possibility of military intervention have nothing to do with democracy. the russians and the americans both busy saying pretty much the same thing that venezuelans should decide what happens to their countries but how they see that happening seems to be very different the united states saying that russia china iran quba are interfering in venezuelan politics the russians pointing out that washington is

threatening maduro the government of venezuela with intervention iran of course simulate the venezuela diametrically opposed views on what to do and how to go about solving the iranian crisis which is fleda new here again both countries have very different views on how to go about resolving this crisis or most new models we have many disagreements on iran now with you but the fact that we've started talking on this issue gives us hope that we will be able to achieve agreements if both sides show willingness to do that which i made clear that the united states will continue to apply pressure to the regime in tehran until its leadership is prepared to return to the ranks of responsible nations that do not threaten their neighbors or spread instability or terror again russia but leaving that the iranian nuclear deal of 2015. along with the rest of the u.n. security council the europeans that that is the best way of going about and resolving this crisis the united states on the other hand pressing the europeans

pressing other countries. to pull out of the iranian nuclear deal to pressure and sanction and hurt iran force it to change and do what the united states believes it should do nevertheless even here but such opposed views. said that conversation and dialogue between russia and the united states should continue that they should work on common ground try to find a solution to this crisis that is acceptable to everyone as indeed it must be in order in order to work the biggest takeaway is that they have agreed to talk they have agreed that dialogue rather than sanctions and militant rhetoric is the best way forward and they've agreed to reopen previously suspended and shot channels of communication military financial cultural which is incredibly incredibly important

so who's just optimism but stress on cautious movement gaseous reports now with the former u.s. diplomat jim to trust to say that moscow and washington will have to overcome some big obstacles to improve relations i understand that the russians especially want to talk about keeping the lines of communication open they talk to the about the americans as their so-called partners and so forth they expressed hope that would now that the moeller investigation is over there will be some freedom for mr trump to pursue the way he talked about during the campaign to improve ties in my opinion that is very unlikely to happen that if you look at things domestically or in the united states not just democrats but even republicans are still all over trump claiming that he is dancing. putin's tune they still accuse the russians of meddling in our elections and if we saw that mr palm people warned mr law not to do

it again even though the proof is not there that they did it in the 1st place i think that there will be very serious obstacles to any kind of the improvement of relations hopefully as mr lavrov suggested they can get some of these working groups on arms control and other issues going with experts diplomats military men to come to some agreement on specific issues but i am not optimistic. now the u.s. attorney general william has launched a probe into possible misconduct relating to the mere report specifically he will see if the rule was broken when trying to establish whether donald trump colluded with russia however decided not subject that part of the investigation which concluded there was meddling by moscow to the same scrutiny kind of makes up the story. since 2016 the democrats have been pushing an investigation of donald trump for allegedly colluding with russia in order to win the $2016.00 elections well now

the report is out and the verdict is no collusion and at this point it looks like cable news will not stop the noise about trump and russia despite the report being released well now we've got a new investigation to cover it seems the republicans are now pushing to investigate the investigators u.s. attorney john durham he is not a rookie by far he investigated the cia and revealed that they had destroyed tapes and evidence of their torture program he also investigated the f.b.i.'s relationship with mafia boss whitey bulger so when it was announced that he would look into whether or not federal officials broke the wall when investigating donald trump the democrats got antsy so did former f.b.i. director james calming and feared personally i feared as a citizen investigate what investigate that investigations were conducted what would be the crime you'd be investigating so it's a terrible cycle to start perhaps the f.b.i. does have a reason to be concerned after all they did send an informer who posed as an

assistant in order to meet with trump's aide now this informer stephon helper has a long history in fact he was involved in cia spying during the 1980 elections trump says that his campaign was spied on however those who oversaw the operation strongly object to that wording. the dictionary definition of spawn surveillance or spying a term i don't particularly like it's not a term of war used by intelligence people it has a negative connotation of a rogue operation out of control not in compliance with the war and that's not the case at all now let's not forget that the feds clung to the now discredited steel dust ca in order to apply for a warrant to surveil donald trump now a full 10 days before they applied for the warrant they were already questioning christopher steele's credibility and here's some language from a memo that surfaced. there is a technical human operation run out of moscow targeting the election payments to

those recruited and made out of the russian consulate in miami it is important to note that there is no russian consulate in miami but the intel community presented christopher steele as being credible when they applied for a warrant to spy on trump now durham will no doubt be looking into whether or not that is legal now let's also not forget that chuck schumer waived his fist on behalf of american spying agencies take on the intelligence community they have 6 ways from sunday of getting back after everything related to the trump russia investigation seems to be a widely contested the words presented by one side are presented is false by the other side and amid all these allegations of dishonesty biased partisanship we're expected to believe by both wings of the establishment that what they are saying about russia and their allegations that it meddled in the 20th 16 elections is absolutely true. well i guess the american people will have to decide what they

want to believe caleb mup and r.t. new york was kind of mentioned there the new investigation seems to raise doubts about the investigators but not about their findings in particular about the conclusion that moscow influenced the u.s. election political analysts lee rockwell says that's because there's no appetite among the u.s. public to question this narrative. they all know there's no evidence republicans democrats moller. barr i know that there are a lot of americans who have same view i do want to know where the evidence is. but i think the you know this the establishment the media both political parties. they're all saying one thing and i don't know that the american people will ever see it will they demand it like to think that they would but i'm i'm afraid i don't believe that i'm afraid this is just going to go on and on and on and pompei o

bolton. and the administration the democrats the republicans in congress the media they're all being the same drum and they're all lawyering and we just have to hope that. president trump will pull back. we just have to see. in other news this morning sure lanka has imposed curfews and banned social media sites in response to them riots in the wake of these to sunday bombings the chief of police issued a stern warning. through. this small group most dangerous game playing the property of innocent people we will not allow the country to be reduced to an icky by those who use force on innocent civilians the country has been plagued by riots and looting since last month's terrorist attacks which kinds more than

$250.00 lives since the start of the muslim holy month of ramadan mosques have been vandalized and still was torched on monday one muslim man was killed by a mall media commentator 100 should think telling us the situation has been complicated by problems within the shura lankan leadership. there's a big power struggle going on between the prime minister the president. itself has led to paralysis in government be able to protect communities. there's been a structure the social media but they need to go beyond that and start provide safety for muslims who are simply in this for you with the ramadan you know these extremists who are doing lots and attacking innocent muslims they don't represent the christian faith the christian faith is one about tolerance it's about the war it's our you know. production to minority communities as we have in the

u.k. so i think it's a real worry that if the government doesn't step it provides us. and turns a blind eye then those extremist those clouds you can find it yet and cause harm we'll use our salute to do that right. now the son of israel's prime minister has questioned just how sincere the german government is when it says it stands by israel although yet netanyahu does not hold any government position some do believe his attitude is shared by many israeli officials. it will be nice if you stop interfering in our internal business and stop funding hundreds of radical left wing in jews in israel seek its destruction use the hundreds of millions of euros you use for this to fund hospitals schools and churches in germany a recent report by israel claims some european countries including germany have been funding anti israel boycott campaign is going so far suggests that some of the

money ends up in the hands of palestinian terrorist groups the latest jab by the israeli prime minister's son is directed at german foreign minister hike a mass well that's after mass to continue supporting israel's legitimate interests and to germany's most to oppose attempts to isolate the jewish state the german foreign minister made the remark on the 70th anniversary of israel's admission to the un the german leadership has professed support for israel on many occasions. either of you this is i strongly condemn all the anti do or anti semitic crimes and i believe that the european union should try to pursue a realistic approach to the terrorism poses especially for israel sounds by our commitment to the security. while we heard some contrasting views on this story from a foreign affairs analyst and also an israeli journalist. israel germany relations are quite a big us and the west it's kind of the most hypocritical show or in town because

even if we go on we just not to back far in time merkel herself has voted at least 16 times in the un against israel defies 7 tromp resolution to recognize resulin while trying to convince the other eastern european nations not to follow trump she's also trying to fight 7 trump sanctions over iran germany is trying to undermine israel a sovereign 3 what would you expect other than saying we is stand by israel what he wrote spec other than that but reality is pretty much the other way around . tells you something about the atmosphere at the prime minister residence and this should be a warri some people who care about democracy about understanding of the more coarsely and understanding of the international law there was fear there seems to

be very very hostile germany is the soft sport needless to say that germany's more sensitive to criticism coming from jerusalem because germany still carries rightly so guilt feelings for the for the past but this does not mean that those attacks are legitimate the world has a right to criticize the israeli occupation because the israeli occupation is a clear violation of the international law and it is the duty of the world to stand against these into his goals to fight it within israel and without outside israel to support them financially morally to support those 2 to really support all those fake to groups individuals who are fighting for ending the occupation washing out is still to come for you this hour british

telecom giant vodafone says it will keep working with chinese firms way despite anger from washington we'll have a look at that in detail just after the break. you know world's big partners do things a lot and conspiracy it's time to wait to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart or we need to stop slamming the door. and 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.

manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round. the one percent. we can all middle of the room. welcome back now a number of activists still remain in venezuela's former embassy in washington d.c. despite and eviction notice from police they are trying to prevent venezuelan opposition figures from taking up residence in the compound who have the backing of the us which recognizes their leader. as president of the country meanwhile

venezuelan embassies in other countries are also becoming the subject of controversy as peter all of us expect. just a few moments ago the big players on the world stage were tripping over themselves to come out and recognize one as the legitimate president of venezuela we are ready to recognize one for you to this interim president we will recognize him as constitutional interim president. and when he will stand ready to recognize one why don't as the president of venezuela. even send representatives to different nations around the world to spite them not receiving diplomatic credentials in some countries like here in germany where we have a situation at the ambassador who sits in the embassy just behind me represents a government deemed illegitimate while the representative of the government deemed legitimate holds no diplomatic rank here in germany though that hasn't stopped

quite those money from at least calling himself ambassador a little puzzled by what i think it could be more that in venezuela we are living under a dictatorship that needs to be international pressure to end the a separation of powers when we can have a real transitional government so we can hold elections then we can have our consulates and embassies. full steam ahead for regime change as politicians and news networks cheated each official that defected from the madieu road government but then there was the failed coup attempt and the ball of aryan republic and the standoff outside of the venezuelan embassy in washington the. green issues. she's. been. she's. really

cares and that's what we're trying to see. and it has been just an international. now with the german parliamentary inquiry finding that germany's recognition of quite though is president was shaky at best under international law the foreign ministry here is less than committed when it comes to talking about furthering relations and talks with the representatives of the man who would be leader of then israel or it's a similar story in other nations in spain for example they also welcomed the representative of one without conveying any diplomatic rank basically means that mr why those representatives could meet and talk with foreign ministry officials but very little else despite european leaders joining in the cheers for a change early on in venezuela the reality today is they have taking

a position it's much more on the fence but one of these days they're going to have to come down on one side or the other as they find out it can be quite easy to make big political statements but if you don't think through how they're going to be put into action can just cause more problems down the line. peter all of the reporting there from berlin that major british telecoms firm vodafone has confirmed it is going to use equipment provided by china's huawei as it looks to roll out his 5 g. network across the u.k. by july and the k.'s foreign secretary jeremy hunt has refused to rule out allowing the chinese telecoms giant to operate in britain adding that london does not want any confrontation though with china. we as a government are going through the process of making an assessment to what extent if at all we are able to use while we kids we couldn't stop the growth of china if we wanted to so we need to find

a way of living alongside this big new power in the world for this come to spite continued warnings regarding any cooperation with huawei made by us. top officials washington is trying hard to persuade its allies to shun equipment produced by the chinese telecom giant accusing it of espionage on behalf of beijing. as a matter of chinese law the chinese government can rightly demand access to data flowing through one way and c.t.e. systems why would anyone grant such to our true gene that is already grossly violated cyberspace the united states has also been very clear with our security partners on the threat posed by. another chinese telecom companies as chinese law requires them to provide beijing's vast security apparatus with access to any data that touches their network for quitman. we must protect our critical telecom infrastructure. chairman has expressed the company's willingness to sign

a spy agreements with european governments including that of the u.k. economist jeffrey albert told us the u.s. risks alienating its allies with his trade war against china. the u.s. is completely alone in the world today on this this economic warfare that is actually getting more and more intense and it's becoming ever more destructive of the world economy and it's going to result only a nice lead in the u.s. other countries such as the u.k. are just not going to go along every big data company and this goes for google and apple and everybody else is typically harassed to some extent by the central state under which it serves as a jurisdictional partner images this is the way the world i wish it weren't that way and that's probably to some extent true between china and why wait also but let's keep in mind that most of these companies resent this kind of pressure they don't like being muscled by governments that goes with true for chinese companies

also they have to they have to play well with with others have to play nicely with others just to get the permission to survive and i don't see any kind of security threat here at all or if there is curious that there's yet to be any evidence to that effect i don't think that long term the u.s. can do anything to affect the relationships between the u.k. and china i think it's just actually completely crazy the people of the world are going to continue to try to get prosperous by cooperating with each other and if the u.s. doesn't want to play along it's only the u.s. economy that's going to be going to suffer. has no interest a special edition remedy of its products in no way than i think is the crescent moon to celebrate in this in holy month the american dream is giant often uses the symbol in muslim countries but this is the 1st time is being displayed in norway

scandinavian country has a small but growing this in population is something believe the ad campaign is a step saying fam. i must have missed the time they had a christian cross for easter and star of david for hanna if your company's using the crescent moon of islam in norway as a marketing tool during ramadan i will have no choice but to boycott your products i will never purchase another can of coke as long as a live look at all is launching the ramadan inclusiveness component no wait not an enlarger after the disgusting or cocoa has defended the logo saying it is part of the brand's commitment to diversity and also inclusion marketing expert luke warlock gave us his views on why the firm chose norway the campaign. not only is a very. tolerant country for all kinds of. minorities and is very much respectful of diversity so here in our it's more like a public relations campaign rather than a real advertising campaign that in coca-cola wants to make

a statement that the failure of diversity that they think of. that they want to be part of an inclusive society and of course there are commercial company to try to sell car color also some of them itself this is a very family oriented it's meaningful ritual in in islam so it's natural for coca-cola to link to that and if there is similar things in buddhism or hinduism or whatever and there is a sizeable of the population there might respond to that. then i'm sure coca-cola will do that too and that is the news for now here in r.t. we're back again in 30 minutes. it's seemed wrong. roles just don't hold. any new belief yet to shape out these days to come to educate and engage with equals

betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. if we ever needed an anti-war movement it's obviously now trying this hyper aggressive foreign policy faces little resistance from the mainstream media in fact numerous liberal news outlets function as a cheering section for the president where is the moral outrage. what is it going to coin is magic internet a new type of digital currency the centralized digital scarcity chancellor on the brink of 2nd bailout for a bank.
