populous country meets the president of the world's biggest nation russia and china for improved bilateral ties growing pressure from the united states. to press freedom in australia to police raids the disclosure of classified data. was told by. the target. the people who were supposed to keep. good morning. morning here in moscow with the latest. southern of the story more detail than 1st the u.s. a u.s. senator others demanding an investigation into clandestine nuclear technology transfers from the u.s. to saudi arabia senator tim kaine who obtained information from the energy

department called a news dangerous. i worry that they're trying to hide information that would that would maybe lead us to uncover that there are some you know corruption or or sweetheart deal in this that they don't want the american public to know the concerns around the timing of the approval it was just a little over 2 weeks of the brutal killing of saudi dissident jonas jamal khashoggi for which several high level saudi officials were blamed the u.s. had the department confirmed the transfers back in march after the 1st reports emerged but haven't responded to a request for comment statement saudi arabia claims its atomic program is strictly for civil and peaceful uses congress is also disturbed by the level of covertness that surrounded the transfers in the no time references been given by the trump of ministration neither caleb maupin pics that will detail the story for you. the fact that the trumpet ministration provided nuclear technical expertise to the saudi

monarchy has got some in congress pretty rattled the trump administration has broken this precedent they kept it secret we found out in march that they had done a number of transfers to saudi arabia it turns out that right after the show he was murdered by the saudis and they were lying about it the administration said fine here here's we'll pass nuclear technology on to you now a quick reminder the killing of the journalist sent shock waves around the world when he was killed in the country's consulate in istanbul now the brutal death apparently sent shock waves throughout the world but it wasn't enough to stop some nuclear deals now it appears that the trump team was rushing perhaps because they thought the fallout from the killing would make it more controversial at a later date and following the shoji case a bipartisan group of legislators did indeed pass a law allowing congressional oversight of any nuclear cooperation agreements with saudi arabia and tom certainly does seem eager to promote nukes how many countries have it iran is going to happen at some point we have to say you know what we're

better off if japan protection. against this maniac in north korea we're better off frankly if south korea is going to start to protect it's saudi arabia you have to work in saudi arabia absolutely now let's not forget that saudi arabia is a signatory of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty and they do have a working agreement with the international atomic energy agency however arms control experts raise their eyebrows over the building of a recent nuclear reactor facility the directing them to the saudi arabia does not want to acquire any nuclear bomb but without a doubt if iran developed a nuclear bomb we will follow suit as soon as possible now peaceful nuclear energy is certainly permitted and russia has worked with saudi arabia on atomic energy before however russia's agreements with saudi arabia were up front transparent and they included a signed roadmap on what would and would not be happening with the program the u.s. secrecy is certainly frustrating to the point that with any deal done behind closed doors you have to wonder what they're trying to hide. r.t.

new york. state to state visits by the chinese leader xi jinping to russia in talks with president putin they touched on that as well in crisis a run on the situation on the korean peninsula among the agreements signed as a deal between the chinese tech giant and the russian telecom giant m.t.s. on developing a 5 g. network here in russia the 2 countries also agreed to develop bilateral trade using national currencies the ruble the yuan. but you're. going to have coleman views on the situation in the korean peninsula and follow the joint road map as aleutian of the situation there noting that there's no will turn it if diplomacy for thawing existing problems will continue to work with china for the escalation of tensions and strengthening security in this region will also continue working for a peaceful resolution in syria and venezuela we remain committed to the iran nuclear deal. we discussed the development of our bilateral relations

since there stablished when 70 years ago and included they've reached an unprecedented level new possibilities have opened for us the world is changing protectionism and unilateralism a raising their heads china and russia as leading world powers will protect the international system based on international law and multilateral trade she's a 3 day state visit here to russia mark 70 years of diplomatic relations and international affairs commentator jonathan steele told us moscow beijing ties and are better than ever friendship is hardly ever been stronger than it is at the moment there's almost never sure which you can find disagreement to trade a $150000000000.00 roughly by natural trade richardson sounds enormous and it comes at a time when russian american tensions are high in chinese american tensions even higher because there's a trade war that's been imposed by donald trump on china well i think it's kind of

warning to the west. to say look russia can supply. the united states or can china and in fact they can get together in the cold war there was this russian china american triangle with american china allied against russia and russia has supplies united. america. russia and china. the chinese leader arrived in moscow bearing gifts paying over 2 giant pandas to moscow as it was part of a conservation program. and

just to let you know kind of tied in with this the state visit comes amid growing tensions of course as we've been reporting between china and the u.s. for the ongoing trade war more on that side of it a bit later in the program a few minutes. concerns over press freedom of been raised in australia after police raids on a prominent journalist and then australia's national broadcaster the a.b.c. the other cases are not linked to police say the searches are based on the disclosing of classified information the criminalisation and crackdown on national security journalism is spreading like a virus the essential president is already having in fact journalists must unite and remember that courage is also contagious this police raid against our partners at a.b.c. is an attack on press freedom which we the b.b.c. you find deeply troubling the australian federal police rate of race serious

concerns about freedom of the press they could have a chilling effect on the right of journalists to carry out their chops the scene might be expected in an authoritarian country but not in a democracy. both cases are based on the stories published over a year ago with the help of leaks the a.b.c.'s afghan files were published in 2017 and exposed possible war crimes by australian special forces in afghanistan based on secret defense documents then the home of anika smith as the political editor of a stray the sunday telegraph was raided in relation to a 2800 story based on secret correspondence between ministries she disclosed a government plan to expand its spying on a met a stranger in citizens and then a stray and radio host who's revealed that the government is now also investigating how he obtained unauthorized data that boats filled with refugees had tried to reach australia and fordham said the focus of the probe is on actually on him but his source about an hour after we shared the information we were told that the

department of home of peers will investigate this disclosure i was told by high buffet's that i'm not the target of this investigation it's about the people who were supposed to keep this stuff confidential last year australia increased penalties for leaking classified data it's now a crime for any public official to share an authorised information the country's prime minister scott morrison defended the raid saying that there are laws protecting astray as national security strategy lecturer been a recount mark spoke to us about it direct he thinks it's alarming though that the government says be more concerned with leakers than the alleged crimes it's committed. and eventually a very dedicated bus engine ossie them stopping but this very dangerous thing this generous will have to consider. in this course is whether this will soon be called las vegas the genesis in question won't necessarily go to jail the sources that they are have you saying in terms of people's lives they are very much at risk which is the agenda behind these arrests of these investigations the

particular release of the files has been something you know some of the dissolution thing for those in the. in the australian military a sense the revelation of this spammer also seemed to be the gross offense rather than actually seeing the s.a.'s as committing crimes the issue has been more those revealing of those crimes committed. in extra spain a major political shift in denmark where the liberal party has conceded big to the social democrats they want to retain parliament in an election dominated by climate change welfare cuts and immigration issues its leader who's had to be the country's youngest ever prime minister has declared a major shift in the country's direction now. if you have voted that denmark should have a new majority there denmark should take a new direction tonight we have

a historic victory for the red block in the parliament and her sense her left party has bucked a number of violent immigration measures over the years including bans on the books and the confiscation of valuables from migrants who arrive in the country they also voted in favor of doubling penalties for crimes in so-called migrant get away arias and push for making daycare mandatory in disadvantaged areas with parents who refused to send their children or losing their social benefit payments the party defended his stance saying that these are the problems that people wanted to be solved it also says that the scandinavian welfare state. immigration these be controlled to protect it we heard from a member of germany's left party who says denmark social democrats tackling all the issues that are on voters' minds right now. what the damage voters what they do want their government and their track record that is very broad social welfare and that's what most voters they want to see them great social welfare system and

they want to do that not at the expense of immigrants but they very much want to see immigrants integrate into danish society they don't want to see women with walkers on the streets they don't want to see. with males. they want to see integrated society and the sort of democrats promised to look at that while the same time. the social whirl. and i think that our. idea there is something that everyone in denmark believes is to be able to. use the 75th anniversary of the d.-day landings in world war 2 wednesday was the 1st day of commemoration of events with world leaders gathering at portsmouth naval by. more than southern england but despite the fact that russia played a huge part of the coalition but then president putin was not an invited guest

britain's prime minster trees a may and french president meanwhile the smalling attending an inauguration ceremony for a memorial to british troops who died in the battle of normandy that's right now as you say they turn the day a number of events are set to be held in france the u.k. the united states to d.-day is the military term for the 1st day of the normandy landings in northern france the operations believed to be the start of the liberation of nazi occupied western europe became the largest seaborne invasion in history but the landings were the only turning point in the 2nd world war. the. 6th of june 19th 44 the allies land in normandy is often touted is the key turning point in world war 2. d.-day can be found across mass culture in books music.

films. haps most famously in hollywood's saving private ryan. day is frequently cited in political speeches here in normandy the rescue began. here the allies stood and fought against tyranny in a giant undertaking unparalleled in human history but this was a war with more than one turning point when that 2nd front was opened the soviet army had been advancing in multiple directions and had reached bella reuss the battle of stalingrad the 1st major loss for the nazis was already a distant memory to compare numbers about 640000 nazi soldiers took part in the normandy battle nazi losses in stalingrad total $1500000.00 allied losses in normandy were $226000.00. 4 times less than the soviet soldiers killed in stalingrad in 1943 u.s. president roosevelt called the battle of stalingrad the crucial moment of the war

in the name of the people of the united states of america i presume this scroll to the city of sterling to commemorate our admiration for its gallant defenders the glorious victory stemmed the tide of invasion and marked the turning point in the war of the allied nations against the forces of aggression. but the facts now don't seem that important. the americans come to free of our victory in that war decided not just a century but it will endure for eternity we did ok because we know how to win. this us international good morning 60 minutes past 10 in the morning moscow time going good so far in the program ahead a new round of tensions a spot between the u.s. and china amid that ongoing trade war will tell you more about the latest spot but when we come back.

there's an 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 and the world thousands of business community members attend the forum to address today's vital issues. watch our special forum coverage on r.t. . china does not want to fight and we are opposed to fights up at the same time we're not afraid of it china is bold and resolute and is evil to defend its legitimate rights and interests china is still holding the door open for the us china trade negotiations if the united states wishes to proceed with them needs to be more sincere.

again the u.s. has said china is playing a blame game and accuse the country of walking back on its trade commitments after beijing put the full responsibility of washington for the stalemate and 11 rounds of negotiations us for it comes amid a bruising trade war between the world's 2 biggest economies it may raise tariffs on $200000000000.00 worth of imported goods from china during stalled trade talks accusing china of backing out of its commitments beijing then retaliated with a levy on $60000000000.00 worth of u.s. imports from sworn the ready to tax a century all chinese imports now trumps referred to china as quote our enemy also a major threat that not

a friend of the united states but it's trade agenda may jeopardize some deep business ties between u.s. politicians and beijing as he explains next. the man who leads the republican majority in the senate is very very very proud of the president he's doing so great a bully in china with his trade war tactic greatest problems in the trade. with china and it's been a long. ongoing problem and i think we're all commend the president for taking on that shot is well saying things like that could get mr mcconnell in a bit of trouble with his wife let me tell you something she's the current american secretary of transportation elaine chao and the u.s. journalists who got hold of and looked into this redacted e-mail by an american embassy official believe it shows mrs chalo has a whole lot of business interests in china it turns out allegedly that back in 2017

she was set for an official visit to china and really wanted her family members to be allowed in the room while she was supposed to talk to her chinese counterparts all of a sudden the trip got called off the transportation department never officially explained why that happened although a version did come up that it all could have been due to an urgent meeting with the president. someone by themselves on take the ground anyway mrs chalis family business ties with china aren't that hard to trace.

an unfortunate conflict of interest and trade war hunters dan if you dig further into the matter though you'll find out there are quite a few folks in the american. eat who'd love a slice of the china cake what if this guy ends up kicking donald trump out of the office would we then have to forget about us china trade wars for 4 years after all joe biden son runs a company that's partially financed by the state run bank of china and mr biden doesn't appear to treat the mission to challenge beijing's economic might as a priority china is going to eat our lunch come on back to the republicans a former house speaker john boehner was once behind the push to make china favored trade partner with the u.s. most nations of the world almost all the nations of the world have most favored nation trading status and the fact is what we're looking for is the same status for

china mr boehner eventually went to work for a lobbying firm squire patton boggs and this company has a presence in china to say the least the most ironic case is that of donald purdy jr in his resume you'll probably find out that he's helped draft a policy paper known as the u.s. national strategy to secure cyberspace masterminded the national cyber security division and the department of homeland security while. all that to end up as the chief security officer at technologies usa ties between the us establishment in both parties are very very close to the chinese look at you're a girl off a lot of interest in the united states who will say that doing pursuing a certain policy may be bad for america as a country but we don't care about that because it's good for my company to issues divisions within the u.s.

policymaking now paratus up until trudeau decided to play hardball with shar china ontario and with many other countries there were no division. it was a very committed relationship with our neighbors have the advantage be having united this issue and i don't see those divisions being healed at all i see them getting march march worse. human rights lawyer is applying to sue the european union in connection with migrant deaths they argue thousands of people needlessly lost their lives to out across the mediterranean they say migrants rights were violated in numerous ways by the e.u. for example by scaling back sea rescues in 2040 and hampering the work of n.g.o.s they also slammed the decision to descend 40000 migrants back to dangerous camps in libya and to help the libyan coast guard stop migrant boats the lawyers allege certain statements made by e.u. leaders make it clear that they were aware of the risk to we spoke to them one

bronco and shots. were talking about one of the most serious situations in terms of . crimes committed since the beginning of the century 14000 people. were sure that there was a clear consciousness and willingness to let part of them all these people out today intercepted by day in. infiltrated libyan coast guard and now being detained in detention camps any doctor how is this where they are exposed to these crimes it's not as according to investigating in the forest in congo it's a very easy task to go to the. room and go into the archives and the to mine who was the most responsible for those crimes the influx of refugees to the e.u. between 2015 and 17 involved more than one and a half 1000000 people more than 12000 are reported to have died trying to make their way over or missing right now southern european countries in particular it's a league recent spate where the main eventing points and you spokes person refused

to comment on what they branded a nonexistent legal action saying only that it was a priority of the block to protect human lives lawyers though say the e.u. has failed to do that. we really hope for for a huge try in this sense something that the international criminal court doesn't known for a simple reason there's been very civil level of responsibility and we have to very clearly distinguish those who executive and those 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 if you see at most and then another lever the director frontex and then another lever the militia leaders of both but what we show is that they are all connected in a common plan which was to systematically and widespread to the. civil population

and therefore to commit crimes against humanity the most responsible doctors we agents into. these policy that designed it and had to establish it to achieve their own political goals to stand migration to europe. center for the morning here in moscow who would take goes great just make sure you don't miss a thing by getting news alerts 247 with rather great you can download if you want to search it out for that for me kevin or to the rest of the team thanks for watching. who is legitimate is a question that is crucial in libya and the one who needs to decide that is the libyan people that is why we should carefully slowly gradually eagerly go into elections today you have basically 2 parties so everybody
