withdrawal from a missile defense agreement is a step towards destabilization he's been speaking in the past couple of hours to a panel of media chiefs on day one of the some petersburg international economic forum. we know that. it seems like the global threat issues being ignored that can't help but raise concerns our american partners have withdrawn from the anti-ballistic missile treaty so what ladies and gentlemen i would like to ask you did anyone of you protest or takes to the streets with play cards no silence but it was ok but this was the 1st step for a fundamental destabilizing of the whole construction of international relations in terms of global security it's a washington according to vladimir putin will soon start realizing that accountability is on the way and this realisation so to say is according to the russian president to resist why america is finding pretexts by blaming russia for violating this very important treaty and then mr putin went on to repeat

himself this is something he says quite often russia is ready for any kind of friend spare discussion on the issue he believes that it needs to involve real professionals and the rest of the world has to take part in that as well the russian president also had a few things to say about venezuela he's outraged by what washington still won in that country and the way they're treating the crisis according to vladimir putin washington is looking at it as well as their own backyard well i'll come back with more inside and more details of what's called the st petersburg international economic forum later today a forum runs from thursday to saturday and will be closely following events that.

among the top level meetings for the russian president his chinese counterpart to teaching ping was given a warm welcome on wednesday the leaders held talks on many acute issues on bilateral relations and international politics often presented with 2 giant pandas which $100.00 to moscow as a sign of a blossoming ties between the 2 nations 2

. a u.s. senator is demanding an investigation into secretive nuclear technology transfers from the united states to saudi arabia senator tim kaine who obtained information from the energy department called the news. 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 signed off a little over 2 weeks after the brutal killing of saudi dissident journalist jamal khashoggi for which several high level saudi officials were blamed the u.s.

energy department confirmed the transfers back in march after the 1st reports of but i'm responded to the request for comment on cain statement saudi arabia for its part claims its atomic program is strictly for civil and peaceful uses. the u.s. congress is also disturbed by the level of covertness that surrounded the transfer of the no time reference has been given by the trump of ministration credible picks up the story. 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 have it at some point we have to say you know what we're better off if japan protects itself against this maniac in north korea we're better off frankly if south korea is going to start to protect its saudi arabian you know what 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 raised their eyebrows over the building of a recent nuclear reactor facility do you have to consent to that 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 the united states administration is going to give the saudi arabian nuclear technology while they are fighting and doing sanctions on your own to not have nuclear technology for peaceful reasons if saudi is going to have it so day should the american. american administration should be fear and now if we want to have the nuclear technology peaceful peaceful causes 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 upfront transparent and they included a signed roadmap on what would and would not be happening with the program the us 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. concerns over press freedom have been raised in australia if the police

raids on a prominent journalist then normal strangely as national broadcast of the a.b.c. over the case is on police say the searches of based on the disclosing of classified information. the criminalisation and crackdown on national security journalism is spreading like a virus these sanch president is already having effect 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. find deeply troubling the australian federal police rate race serious concerns about freedom of the press they could have a chilling in fact on the right of journalists to carry out their chops the scene might be expected in an authoritarian country but not in a democracy or 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 revealed in 2017

and exposed a possible war crimes by australian special forces in afghanistan based on secret defense documents and the home of annica smethurst the political editor of australia's sunday telegraph newspaper with rate it in relation to a $2800.00 story based on secret correspondence between ministries she disclosed the government plan to expand on spying on australian citizens and an australian radio has revealed that the government is now also investigating how he obtained an authorised data the boats filled with refugees had tried to reach australia and fordham said the focus of the probe is not him but his source. and thereafter we shared the information we were told that the department is will investigate this disclosure i was told by home affairs 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 the punishment for leaking classified data it's now a crime for any public official to share an authorised information prime minister scott morrison dispended the raid saying that there are laws protecting australia's

national security and australian free speech activists benoit count mark thinks it's alarming that the government's more concerned with leakers than the alleged crimes are committed. individuals are very delicate as they work most of the age not see them stopping but this is very dangerous thing this generous. person this is whether this was before was this the genesis question won't necessarily go to jail the sources that they are using people's lives they are very much at risk which is the itch and the arrests of these investigations the secular release of the files has been something you know some of the dissolution in this ng for all those in the. street in a military sense the revelation of this also seems to be the great sense rather than actually seeing the s.e.'s is that in france the issue has been more those

revealing the scribes and it. really. has been a major political shift in denmark where the liberal party has conceded victory to the social democrat they want to majority in parliament in an election dominated by climate change welfare cuts and immigration issues its leader who said to me the country's youngest ever prime minister has declared a sea change in the country's political direction. have voted that denmark should have a new majority denmark should take a new direction to ny we have a historic victory for their red block in the parliament a center left parties back to number of and hima gratian measures over the years including bans on the burqa and niqab and the complication of valuable for migrants who arrive in the country they also voted in favor of doubling penalties for crimes in so-called migrant ghetto areas and pushed for making daycare mandatory in disadvantaged areas with parents who refused to send their children there losing their social benefit payment the party defended its stance saying that these are

the problems the people wanted to be solved in that immigration has to be controlled we heard from a member of germany's left party who says denmark social democrats are tackling all the issues are on voters' minds right now. and what the dentist voters care about is what they do want to their government and their track record that is the very role social welfare and that's what but most of the danish voters they want to see them break their 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 damage society they don't want to see women with us on the streets they don't want to see it should work. with males in schools they want to see in integrated society and the social democrats have promised to look at that while at the same time being the social well. and i think that's part of the so that because i did that is

something that everyone in the denmark believe this hockey to be able to deliver. this is i'll tell you from moscow much more to come on the program including countries that allied against hitler during the 2nd world war commemoration the 75th anniversary of the d.-day landings among all stories when we come back. it is it is a question that is crucial in libya and the one who needs to say 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 laban's the other the way he wants because that is in very deep crisis of legitimacy and this crisis

of legitimacy cannot be solved by going to be able to. join me every thursday on the alex salmond shill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. a german nurse has been given a life sentence for murdering 85 patients over a 5 year period 42 year old males her go earlier said that he was and. in 2005

course while tampering with a syringe pump and administering a cardiac medicine without cause this led to reckless to a series of investigations he was initially convicted of attempted murder in 2008 and sentenced to more than 7 years in prison but then in 2015 a judge sentenced him to life in prison for 2 murders and 2 attempted murders let's go live to our tease maria for national he's in germany for us you were at the trial what other details about. well high calling that is of no doubt an absolutely. case of course we just heard the verdict for news her go 42 year old former nurse who is believed right now to be the most prolific serial killer in post-war germany and probably worldwide he was found guilty of killing 85 people and go to life sentence which is the toughest punishment here in germany or i would rather say their life sentence because today's court was the furred one for

mr for a girl and he's currently serving a life time jail term for 2 other murders and attempted murders he had been convicted of back in 2015 a massive trial huge public attention court proceedings had to be held in these festival hall that you can see behind me instead of the original court to embrace all those people who wanted to attend the trial including the families of the victims of course but also normal people. work behind the verdict investigators looked into 200 suspicious cases and had to ask you 100 just just think about that 130 bodies 8 including in germany and poland and in turkey but the problem is that most of the people who died during mr her girls she for their hospitals work are maintained and that of course complicated dramatically they were off investigators say officials we even

heard a suspect that he could have been behind 300 killings and we heard today from many people including from the main george of the program says that the exact number of people killed by mr her go is still unclear so during this recent trial he was initially charged with 100 killings so 15 cases were not satisfied and we have been able to speak to some of the families such. emilie's for example frank breakers he's father died back in 2001 and no one suspected nothing until 15 years later he got a call from a special commission and someone telling him that he's father 63 year old man who would have been probably killed but eventually he escaped his his case was not satisfied and we found him today rather different stated let's take

a listen. not just. and that's to run through the rich. what actually happened for 5 long years starting in the year of 2000 needles her girl working as a nurse would pick up a patient any age any sacks any social ground any rays all medical health condition to jack to kind of a cocktail of drugs to cause a cardiac arrest or other complications so that later he could calm and revive the patient to wean everybody's admiration and he's call exe we're really impressed with his skills and they even gave him a fletcher a nickname resuscitate. so they suspected nothing until a certain moment but actually rember was not able to save all of he's.

a victim so that is a really really shocking story and we heard that george speaking today he had a very emotional speech and he compared the news her goal with the firefighters here roy culley extinguishing farrior that he started he. you touched on this earlier how did he manage to get away with this for so long. that is a very good question that many now the probably the most shocking thing is that news her go committed his crimes at 2 different medical institutions and while he was serving as a nurse at in the 1st clinic actually it became clear at some point for the authorities that the number of that's almost doubled so they started suspecting something and they decided to simply get treated the nurse without reporting their

fear is anywhere and after that mr her go was able to find a job at another hospital in near a neighboring town with no problem who is to blame so we have been able to talk about that with so many people today and all of them almost agree that the reason a complex of reasons behind this terrible situation let's take a listen. it's not only the system of hospitals and and. people who are working in those hospitals but i think it's almost a problem of each person just to look away don't want to see what's happening and. i guess many people are thinking oh i don't know it's not my fault it's not my case i would just go ahead and i haven't seen anything and that's the main problem i guess we have seen from the perpetrator who is completely feelings and empathy and then we have a culture of looking away if people who are paid more attention to the information

to do so then things would have been different to mine and i'm not dismissing we need to have this possibility to provide information anonymously and we have to include it into the educational system people are motivated to work together to identify the mistakes instead of treating these issues as to who speak openly about mistakes to voice them in future and that should be an important part of the medical education. ok maria phenomenons like court and all the bergen germany thanks for. human rights lawyers are planning to sue the european union in connection with migrant deaths they argue thousands of people needlessly lost their lives crossing the mediterranean they say migrants rights were violated in numerous ways by the e.u. for example by scaling back sea rescues in 2014 and hampering the work of n.g.o.s they also slammed the decision to send 40000 migrants back to dangerous camps in

libya and to help the libyan coast guard stop migrant boats noise allege certain statements made by e.u. leaders make it clear they were aware of the risks we spoke with 2 of them bronco and. 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 all these people out today intercepted by day in. infiltrated libyan coast guard and now being detained in detention camps and he told you how is this where they are exposed to these crimes it's not as according to investigating the in the forest in congo it's very easy task to go to the living room and go into the archives and to mine who was the most responsible for those crimes and the influx of refugees to the between 20152017 involved more than one and a half 1000000 people more than 12000 reported to have died making their way over

or they're missing southern european countries in particular italy greece and spain were the main entry points and you spokes person refused to comment on what they branded nonexistent legal action saying only that it was a priority of the block to protect human lives the lawyers though that he was 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. responsibly and we have to very clearly distinguish those who exist and who created the objectives that triggered this execution and you cannot you have to distinguish between people like the ministry of interior. and the commissioner if you this is the most and then another lever the director from pics and then another lever diminish a. vote but what we show is that they're all connected in

a common put on which was systematically and widespread in the. civil population and there for it to commit crimes against humanity the most responsible doctors we agents into. these police need to designed it and had to stop the shoot to achieve political to goes to the immigration to europe. the islamic holy month of ramadan has divided some muslims with countries and even cities seemingly undecided on the exact dates of the calendar don't know quarter explained. the end of ramadan or either elf either celebrates the end of a month long fast in islam a time when muslims come together and celebrate but when it's supposed to end is a controversial topic these days tradition says it's when the next crescent moon is seen but people have different eyes see different things the eyes of saudi arabia united arab emirates coate and cutter claim they saw it on tuesday then you have egypt syria jordan and palestine who said they saw it on wednesday. sudan for

example saw some celebrating on tuesday. that was after the opposition leadership called it and when government's official islamic council said eat began on wednesday people were celebrating on that day instead. the muslim world saw the same story across the red sea in yemen the saudi backed government failed to get everyone on board with its tuesday declaration who the rebels said the holidays and landed on wednesday and muslims were divided on the holiday for the 1st time in history. back to the african continent libya had 2 rival forces telling the people when each began one of them even changed their mind the un recognized government 1st put it on wednesday and then decided to start earlier. as for

palestine the palestinian grand moved he told everyone the end of ramadan was on wednesday and that's the 1st time ever that palestine celebrated eed on a different day that saudi arabia one islamic organization decided to celebrate on tuesday anyway the response beatings and arrests divisions across the arab world have deepened to where even the moon is not free from controversy. today join the french president for commemorations of the 75th anniversary of the normandy landings in the 2nd world war the operation known as d. day is regarded as the start of the liberation of nazi occupied western europe it also became the largest seaborne invasion in history landings weren't the only turning point in the 2nd world. the 6th of june 1944 the allies land in normandy is often touted is the key turning point in world war 2. if. 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 ruse 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 $226004.00 times less than the soviet soldiers killed in stalingrad

in $143.00 us 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 his gallant defenders the glorious victory stemmed the tide of invasion and the turning point in the war of the allied nations against the forces of aggression. by 945 german losses on the western front with 5 times less than on the eastern front but the facts now don't seem that important the americans come to free a victory in that war decided not just a century but it will endure for eternity. because we're going to win. that's the way it looks from moscow so far this hour thanks very much for watching i'll be back with the next headline news on our international about student.

loan and welcome to all the part of the last take it has seen many unnecessary awards but they won them all of them believe in catastrophes thousands out as a one to loss of lives and infrastructure is there anything or anyone who can still put libya together well to discuss that i'm now is joined by a guest on salon may have of the united nations support mission in libya mr solomon is good to talk to you always thank you very much for the time thank you for inviting me now you know over the years i've interviewed many u.n. and a voice on syria and they all.
