the agenda talks picture. hello there welcome you watching r.t. international now it is day 3 of donald trump state visit to the u.k. and today he's in portsmouth taking part in world war 2 commemorations on tuesday he spent the day in talks with the prime minister to resume a and they reaffirmed the special relationship between britain and america the extraordinary alliance between the american and the british people it's the greatest alliance the world has ever known i've always believed that cooperation and compromise on the basis of strong alliances and nowhere is this more true than in the special relationship. also discussed iran breaks it the prospects of

a trade deal and security concerns over chinese tech giant huawei and us president said a phenomenal trade deal was actually possible when he had breaks it it and asked for iran both sides are committed to ensuring will never develop nuclear weapons and although they disagreed on the threat posed by. protect intelligence sharing correspondent. has more now on the talks. the 2 not always seeing eye to eye on politics but today finding some common ground around the special relationship donald trump going so far to say the relationship with britain is the greatest alliance in the world and on the issue of brics it he mentioned that there will be phenomenal opportunities for trade links and trade deals in the post britain as the u.k. makes preparations to exit the european union the united states is committed to

a phenomenal trade deal between the u.s. and the u.k. there is tremendous potential trade deal now he seemed to be almost reading from a script because he moved away from his usual famous candid approach but he kept that behavior at bay apart from when talking about jeremy corbett and in fact we actually saw a dose of his signature. as the procedure so i have to tell you because i commented to go and yesterday we left the prime minister the queen the royal family there were thousands of people on the streets cheering and even coming over today there were thousands of people cheering and then i heard that there were protests i said where are the protests i don't see any protests i did see a small protest today when i came 1st ball so a lot of it is fake news i hate to say thousands of protesters took to the streets to condemn his policies surrounding climate change immigration international relations and of course the issues so. rounding women and. i

was all odds was on a side that tiny thing issue how much is all of this costing what in terms of costing it seems like trump has out trump himself as this is the most expensive state visit in british history. to assess the chances of a trade deal with bryce it still not result of course she's e.i. going prime minister and she's overseen not on his wavelength i always see seems more insured. people will probably be coming in i'd also with mr ferrars correction i think britain is ruling in the same direction as you like the states and charlie sort of policy can all makes trade and if we are as i said if we can get those fabulous trade deals with the united states great for britain great for breaks well you know perhaps it is really undermined

a lot of the international power of the u.k. despite what their own leaders will say they're so busy every single day trying to figure out how to leave the european union what does going to look like that i can't imagine they won't be exhausted when they get to the negotiation table about specific. trade deals and certainly there is some pushback about some things that donald trump wants certain types of chicken for instance and how they're being prepared being brought over he wants to consumers to decide whether they will purchase or not and he's made that quite clear but when it comes to the negotiation table there are so many things yet to be understood about whether that's going to mean about leaving the e.u. that the u.s. might just get a little bit more than its bargain for because of that weakness. but it wasn't just the prime minister who is waiting to see don't trumpet that in st because someone else will say that to give him the perfect well.

the. well president trump is joining the queen and the prime minister to resign may for the 75th anniversary of the d.-day landings the event will also be attended by the french president among your macron the german chancellor angela merkel and also other european leaders. a u.s. military judge has removed the lead prosecutor in the case of the navy seal accused

of committing several war crimes one week before the trial the service man has pleaded not guilty to the charges although republican congressman recently defended the key used going so far as to confess to crimes himself. reports. the case of a u.s. navy seal accused of some pretty nasty crimes in iraq has grabbed headlines the man is eddie gallagher he's accused of murder attempted murder and a slew of other crimes now according to the reports when his team initially reported him and demanded an investigation nothing was done about it and he's teammates say they saw him taking pointless shots they say they saw him gunned down an old man in a white robe as well as a girl who was simply walking with other girls furthermore the teammates insist that he was unloading gunfire as well as rockets on the areas that were not known to have enemy forces now it all sounds pretty horrendous but some members of congress are speaking up on any gallagher's behalf congressman duncan hunter not

only defends eddy's actions but says that based on his own experiences serving in iraq killing civilians is just part of the job so i was an artillery officer and we fired hundreds of rounds in a palooza right and killed probably hundreds of civilians if not scores if not hundreds of civilians probably killed women and children if there were any left in the in the city when we invaded so do i get judged too in addition to the other crimes that he is charged with taking a photograph of himself next to the corpse of a captured i still combatant that he allegedly stabbed to death now congressman duncan hunter says that taking photographs with dead bodies is not uncommon i think . that's. a lot of this. so we've got a sitting member of congress who is now emitting that he himself is guilty of the crimes for which any gallagher is now charged now what about pentagon was in military courts if mistreatment of the dead were committed intentionally it could

be considered a violation of the law of war u.s. service members have been charged and punished under the uniform code of military justice for posing for pictures with human casualties by any standard. war crimes tribunal he should be brought up on charges this idea that there is 5 year and 7 year statute of limitations actually not true of course there are nazi war criminals that 30 and 50 years later are still brought up on charges and every one of the people in the us officers and commanders who are guilty of war crimes should and ultimately will get caught up on charges of war crimes keep in mind that trump has already pardoned michael brown hen a former soldier convicted of killing a prisoner trump's critics say that sends a bad message we'll look at a lot of different partners for a lot of different people some of these soldiers are people that have fought hard

for you know we teach him how to be great fighters and then when they fight sometimes they get really treated very unfairly in this case the person is also the commander in chief of the armed forces so he is in fact undercutting the rules and regulations that contribute to good order and discipline in the military and that to me is anathema and it's immoral those who committed the crimes such as duncan hunter defending the crimes or a navy seal operations chief edward gallagher he is facing a pardon this elected representative is to say no charges and yet chelsea manning julian massage and all the ins for revealing these crimes are facing very heavy charges now that shows the absolute wallace of

united states war today that's the way they conduct war. now human rights lawyers the suing the european union in connection with migrant deaths they argue that thousands of people need to flee needlessly lost their lives cross the. in the mediterranean sea they say that migrants rights were violated in numerous ways by the e.u. for example by scaling back sea rescues in 2048 also by impeding the work of certain n.g.o.s operating at sea they particularly criticize the decision to send 40000 migrants back to militia controlled camps in libya where quote atrocious crimes are committed the law is also claimed that the location of refugee boats were shared with libyan coast guards making it easier for them to catch them and they allege that certain statements by e.u. leaders did make it clear that they were aware of the risks of influx of refugees to be used from 2015 to 2017 involved more than one and

a half 1000000 people over 12000 were reported to have died making their way over or are missing southern european countries in particular italy greece and spain were the main e.u. entry points but any spokesperson refused to comment on the case saying that it it was a priority of the block to protect human life so let's bring in lawyers who are bringing the case to court and also. bringing the action against the year you prefer we welcome thanks for your time and coming on to me to r.t. today just firstly what do you think when your chances of winning this case. a little perspective from full terms is because the legal case is extremely strong and the facts are established well beyond any doubt who've always taken the most conservative. evaluations of the number of their. sins of crime which

were most. for self-explanatory and we have no doubt we're talking about one of the most serious situations in terms of. crimes committed since the beginning of the century 14000 people. sure that there was a clear consciousness and willingness to let part of them and so from a legal perspective it's very clear and from a political perspective it depends on the office of the prosecutor and its willingness to investigate its main supporter i think you should have agreements of cooperation it's not that it's going to investigating the in the forest in congo where it's a very easy task to go to perrysburg living room in brussels going to your cars and there to mine who was the most responsible for those crimes. that he will say look we did all we could what more action should be taken in your opinion. what we show we. didn't do everything they did everything the could not to do what

they should. when the e.u. spokesperson is talking about the warping. in the mediterranean what she doesn't say is that these 2 up in downing you know either just to your 90 percent. in is not doesn't mean that there is no. insect 90 percent drop in their arrivals or in downing's means that all these people are today intercepted by day. a few treated libyan coast guard and now being detained in detention camps and he told you how this where they are exposed to these crimes and the e.u. is the one that they constructed they constructed in that invented course god provided both support by the training provided by did. you see and today even they pulled together into mediterranean so.

the e.u. it didn't do everything it could to the contrary you know not to stand migration flows from. particularly from libya the. they did what they were necessary to do to achieve this goal and they were successful but at all costs and because into closer to a community. when. this investigation will be do you think it will cover perhaps the implications of the invasion well the liberation of whether you want to call it libya and the impact that had on the whole migration issue into europe will it just solely concentrate on what was done to alleviate the problems of migrants trying to cross the mediterranean. or an obviously based on that period which is goes back to 2014 so we really focus on the migration crises but we really

hope for a very 3 layers in which we prosecute which would be prosecuted the political leaders who have set up the objectives which tries to stem this migration flows at all cost the administrative. people who conceive the plans in order to stem those migration flows and photo these political objectives in the general direction of the european commission for example and then the executive that's whether frontex or the corporate taters in libya such as the militias that's just spoke about so we really hope for a huge tragedy in this sense something that the international criminal court known for its simple reason there's been very sever level of responsibility and we have to very clearly distinguish those with whom we did and who created the objectives that triggered this execution and you cannot just you have to distinguish between people like the ministry of interior. and the commissioner of the.

most part and then another lever the director frontex and then another member of the militia leaders of both but what we show is that they are all connected in the common to that which was who were systematically and worked. a civil population and therefore. you're in the crimes against humanity ok just very briefly because we're running out of time but how long do you expect this case to take to carry out all these investigations. so this is a good question because there is already an ongoing investigation. by deport security of the i.c.c. it's been ongoing since 2011 so we're looking at 8 years of investigation of the situation in libya in the past 2 years of the prosecutor stated to the security council that she's looking at crimes against migrants in libya she's looking at crimes against migrants in libya in connection with libyan agents so we only ask them their perspective to go after the most responsible doctors which are the

agents and officials that are orchestrating this policy that designed it and to stablish it to achieve their own political go and go. to europe and this is pretty much ok and would you finally expect jail sentences will. really. know of international criminal court is going to. individual. did there are enough information to go after the those are all designed to enable the commission of. crimes so we are looking at the former italian minister me need to community was signed the agreement to train in finance and provide boats to the libyan coast guard and is the one who just said there are several layers of for sponsibility or are we just expect there to not to exclude the e.u. agents from the allegation just because. you're going to have to wrap it up there

because we've run out of time so sorry to cut you short there just at the end but we've run out of time that was one branco human rights lawyer and also lawyer sciences sorry science professor thank you for your time. thank you for watching today we're back shortly with morn. this in petersburg international economic forum is a unique event in today's business world. over the last 21 years the forum has become a leading global platform for discussing the key economic issues facing russia emerging markets the world thousands of business community members attend the forum to address today's and vital issues. watch our special forum coverage on r.t. .

with more make this manufacture consent to instant of public wealth. when the ruling classes project themselves. in the frame very go around be the one percent. drinking or middle of the room 6. 1000000 real news is. that it is mini series by h.b.o. actionable is proving a huge hit and it is also generated intense interest in the 1906 nuclear disaster one of the key figures in the clean up operation after the tragedy was the soviet

major general nikolai that i can off he was in charge of the so-called liquidators division tasked with removing radioactive material from the chernobyl site that i can of says the disaster will stay with him forever. today is the war there has been 2 years of my life in hospital but i was still in the army i returned to service as deputy chief of staff of the russian civil defense ok but 2 years later my symptoms caught up with me again my doctor said you will be suffering the rest of your life chernobyl will never let go of you know that you know what is asked to shock the soviet union more than 30 years ago it is considered to be the largest nuclear accident in history almost 600000 people were affected by the blast at the nuclear plant and it's thought that up to 4000 people will die as a result radiation levels in the eppy sense they were massively higher than the lethal dace that i can off again recalls what happened.

i spent 3 months the chernobyl the hardest part as far as i remember was when we came in by helicopter we hovered above the reactor and it was simply frightening to view the results of the catastrophe i could not even imagine something like that what kind of a nuclear catastrophe could destroy that giant construction made of armored concrete about 300000 cubic meters of soil were excavated collected and brought to a special disposal area immediately after that the radiation level in the area decreased a 1000 times that allowed us to tell the soldiers to enter the station and start deactivating the facility s. i usually give the scientists and others credit for the very important job they did there but ordinary soldiers were the main heroes. radiation sickness for example i could shave and accidentally cut myself and the

bleeding would not stop a small scratch wouldn't heal for weeks it's scary just to think about it my dear wife who was a ph d. took very good care of me i was taking a ton of pills and i still am in my kitchen i have about 8 different kinds of medicine i take them 3 times a day. but the character really looks like i mean i really like you and your you know i almost fell in love with him then the division commander assembled his men and this scene was included because i stood in front of the soldiers and said men our people are tired of the constant reports about the huge disaster at chernobyl we have to get rid of the consequences of this catastrophe all of you are volunteers and if anyone does not want to continue please leave the team when you have one minute to make a decision over or no one will blame you for it because it's your life and i am

responsible for it. that china's president xi jinping has arrived in russia for a 3 day state visit he will start things too by meeting his russian counterpart vladimir putin for talks let's get more on this now from a correspondent who's covering the enforcer eagle good afternoon what can we expect then from this visit. while and indeed the russian president is hosting a major russia china event here inside the kremlin walls and in fact beyond them now the chinese leader is set to kick off his official visit to the russian capital by as you've rightly pointed out meeting a russian president his counterpart vladimir putin and they're going to talk all sorts of stuff because 70 years of diplomatic relationships is a big deal for both countries and well. they're not going to just focus on the normal development between the 2 countries like for instance in the energy sector within the framework so be rolled some into belt and roll corporation program know

end of this news wrap this hour back again with more on the headlines as usual at the top of the next. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. for something i want to. have to do i believe for us that's what i'm up for 3 in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in my house. this city.

this research vessel was specially built for the arctic bam down talk tick and now it's symbolic in on a very unusual mission. it's heading for nasa chewed 82 degrees north to find a thick ice flow wedge into it and set up a camp near by. for about a month simply drift along with the ice. the purpose of the expedition is to carry on research begun by drifting polish stations which have to stop working because of melting arctic ice busy. it's just you know she's not. her course was. her. who was. very very.

hot at the arctic for centuries it remained a mystery fearsome and silent for centuries when calling aspired to the north so high latitudes to the pole to the axis of the earth where the weather of the world is born. 70 palos own northern pole s p for short is how the polar stations one. in autumn an expedition landed on an old thick ice floe and people lived and worked there for a whole year now slowly drifting across the arctic ocean. dearest answerable to the

forces on the sure that there was the work they do of their fish if that. would have done their part border into the mills. in which. weather models can't work properly without data from these latitudes and many research scientists see the chance to work in the high arctic as quite a coup the collection of data by drifting stations for. hydro chemistry hydro physics bottom research and ocean biology continued for many years. till the arctic ice started to melt. seized her little so it was a good job of beasts this convention it's like humanism resign your real stories and it's in the galley and you look at the docs for but also the social pulls to cook but oil what would you do she would do that and you know.
