right now maria hi welcome to the arctic warner at the international economic forum in st pete very nice place very nice atmosphere it is great to have you here you don't time is running but every year this form happens someone always tries to spoil things a little bit ahead of the form send a political message maybe make a statement you know that the american ambassador ahead of this forum said he's not coming but the american business is here do you think at this time can someone really gain something politically by making the deal to get used to old american tricks. presented by state department washington d c white house and said if they don't want to. come film make a big deal of it where not making so why should everybody is thing with the common dots i think that lots of people i didn't hundreds thousands i don't know exact

number but you know. it's really crowded here it's really crowded. so it is important that the business elite of america's here while the feel shows are not here but of course people from all over the world to be international leaders are here is that i think that businesspeople all over the world including united states congress they're just already i think that they're really sick and. excuse my french over all this things we try happening all over the world between politicians especially the united states they want to make business they want to make money and they want to make their business and money alive and they want to be real they don't all i think that their little bit of off living in this surreal world they want to be back to the reality this is the a reality that. you how you can propose something to the world to the business

people and you're proposing if you made this taking it you don't sorry. i think that we should be less. politicians especially america but a load said hey where's the influence a lot i mean unfortunately and i'm ashamed of that because for many years would take their work teaching us a lesson that policy and politics should not influence economy economics and business but now what they're doing in different regions of the world they're influencing a business trying they're just trying to spoil the business connection the connection between people people to people why they're doing this well let's put our attention to something that vladimir putin said today when he was talking to journalists he believes that right now it's the time to turn the page when it comes

to russia u.k. ties the page according to vladimir putin with spy scandals assassination attempts now my question to you is who do you think house to turn the page in this case russia or london. depends on where. we are meaning i mean if we're talking about politicians we have shown we now have a. relationship even then there were going mad we were on the same page actually asking them to stop and not to go even further in their madness if you are talking about business or people who are connected to cannot make and cetera et cetera i think it should be both sides i think that people who are representing business just minutes out there talk to each other and make great deals but i guess you. stan what i'm driving at everyone's watching what's

happening in the u.k. with the resignation of someone whose treatment of russia was nasty to say the least so russia is not the russian word nasty you know the president we usually use this word but not the russian president. definitely but her approach to russia wasn't pleasant and perhaps russia must be happy about a fresh face possibly maybe not so fresh but is that on she's got as a store as a nest to whether she's god let's talk about the future and i think we have the right or russian british relationship in different spheres. i would like to talk about something that was published by the u.s. media was an audio record by a conversation by the u.s. state secretary and here's a quote from him he believes that it is devilishly difficult to unite the opposition in venezuela that's something that american officials saying it was off

the record but the people heard it and the journalist heard it do you think that sends a message to the officials around the world or the governments who officially dethrone nicolas maduro and recognize the opposition as the leadership of this i think that the united states i mean the political system is now turning into something they were always struggling with. they were all lists of war and democracy and freedom all over the world they were supporting people of goodwill they were supporting the people of freedom they actually started as a country is a brand new contrie on a democracy days. of freedom and look where what you now is that. they're just like you know. canceling their own 7 ideology which is very unfortunate because this is interfering. the

mastic policy that is why it's. just all the media the person. with whom he has that conversation so this is you are 100 percent interfering. with the. domestic policy of a country independent country independent state so what's happening within israel right now because to be fair we haven't heard any shake from that country for a while have we reached the status quo in a certain sense. i think it's not a status quo i think this is understanding some country probably washington and probably that it is not that easy nowadays. with draw official governments from independent state that it's it's not fair and it's actually in the way how things should be done in the 21st century and so i

think the. put themselves on pause and i think we i mean all the international community should use this time to insist that this is not the option that this is absolutely not the option it's up to it's up to the people who are living in this country to choose the government to choose a president to sheep their own political life and to leave their role in political life but not it's not up to washington to decide. ukraine house the new president right now and there was hold. a. restart of at least when it comes to direct contacts between. although the 1st things that mr zelinsky did was he went to brussels on his 1st official visit he's already the man did it. isn't really

a demand but he asked for lethal weapons when he was contacting american officials so what does that what kind of signal does that send to russia in terms of his priorities i think it's not about sending signals to russia it should be about sending signals to people of ukraine and not only people who voted for these new president but also it should be a signal that those people who had not possibility to vote for the president i'm talking about done boss i just want to remind you that people believing who who are living in the bus they did not have a possibility to vote i mean they were just wrong because all their wounds were robbed because they wanted to take part in this. election process but they could not and i think that the new president especially because he wasn't elected he

should send a signal for the whole country and i'm not sure that the weapon. signal is the white. piece is something he was using as a slogan during his he's a he's campaign and he's you know gratian exactly so i think this is the signal that should be sent and my last question is about syria really your last question it is in general washington the line has syria been relatively calm even though donald trump. to iran and russia saying stop bombing it but this really disappeared in a sense from the international media spectrum in the recent months what's going on because the scenario which was prepared for syria by western states was not realized they failed with the concept all with always. ah so. must go

concept was not realized and now when the terrorism is not fully conquered stops in syria and syrian people have a real chance to feel they have huge share they are you bring you peace will life i think they just lost any sort of interest of this country they did not want to support it they did not want. to the. syrian economy just no interest. nothing nothing to fish around so interesting maria thank you very much let's just stand here for a 2nd because i would like to remind our viewers that here at the st petersburg international economic forum at the. we were talking about everything you saw on there in the past few months with the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman marie is a harvard much. so i see her but sure. could

be plenty of big names passing through that conference center between now and. we'll be right back with some pages but again the coming days. here without say all the headline news for you now i.q.'s senator is demanding an investigation into secretive nuclear technology transfers from the united states to saudi arabia said it's him who obtained the information from the energy department called the news dangerous. i worry that they're trying to hide information that would that would maybe lead us to uncover that there's some you know corruption or or sweetheart deal in this that they don't want the american public to know who concerns around the timing of the approval it was signed off a little over 2 weeks off 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 transfer was back in march off the 1st reports emerged but haven't responded to the request for comment on pain 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 code that surrounded the transfers and the time reference has been given by the trump administration and the pope and picks up a 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 happen 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 arabia you have to look at 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 be content to be reviewed 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 do our fighting and are doing sanctions on your own to not have nuclear technology for peaceful reasons if saudi is going to have it so they're americans and every american administration should be fair and i know if we want to have the nuclear technology peaceful peaceful cause 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 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. concerns over press freedom

a been raised in australia to police raids on a prominent journalist and then almost straight his national broadcast to the a.b.c. for the cases police say the search is a based on need to sclerosing 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 jobs the scene might be expected in an authoritarian country but not in a democracy both cases are based on stories published more than a year ago with the help of leaks the a.b.c.'s afghan files were revealed in 2017

and exposed possible war crimes by australian special forces in afghanistan based on secret defense documents on the home of annica smell 1st the political editor of australia's sunday telegraph newspaper was rated in relation to a 2018 story based on secret correspondence between ministries she disclosed a government plan to expand its spying on australian citizens and an australian radio host revealed that the government is now also investigating how he obtained an authorised data that boats filled with refugees trying to reach australia then fordham said the focus of the probe is not him but his source. about an hour after we shared the information we were told that the department of homeland fears 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 not a crime for any public official to share unauthorized information prime minister scott morrison defended the raid saying for the rim laws protecting australia's

national security but australian free speech activist benoit camp mark thinks it's alarming that the government's more concerned with leakers than with the crimes it's allegedly committed. individuals are very delicate is the word 1st engine awesome stuff. i think that this is very dangerous thing this generous will have to consider. those in this force as whether this will soon become wants because the genesis question won't necessarily go to jail if the sources that they i view saying in terms of the people's lives that they are very much at risk which is the agenda behind these arrests of these 2 investigations the particular release of the files has been something you know some of the dissolution and sang for all those in the. u.s. trade and military this sense the revelation that this has fanned all 17 to be the grapes fencers rather than actually saying the s.a.'s as anything franks the issue

has been more than those revealing of those crimes committed to building a jail for one still to be germany's worst to peace time serial killer has been sentenced for the deaths of 85 more patients a party report from outside coat among all stories off of the break. but politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. wanted. to be close it's like the 3 of them or people. interested always in the lives

of. 6. all over again there's been a major political shift in denmark where the liberal party has conceded victory to the social democrats they want to majority in parliament in an election dominated by climate change welfare cuts and immigration issues its leader who said to be the

country's youngest ever prime minister has declared a sea change in the country's political direction. denmark should have a new majority denmark should take. tonight we have a historic victory for the red block in the parliament house and to left parties back to a number of anti immigration measures over the years including bans on the burqa and a cap on the confiscation of valuables from migrants who arrive in the country they also voted in favor of doubling penalties for crimes and so-called migrant ghetto areas. and pushed for making daycare mandatory in disadvantaged areas with poor parents who refused to send their children there losing their social benefit payments the party defended its stance saying that these are the problems the people wanted to be solved and that immigration has to be controlled and we heard from a member of germany's left party who says denmark social democrats are attacking 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 the mold and how they want to see them break their social welfare system and they want to do that not at the expense of immigrants but the very much want to see immigrants integrate its advantage decide they don't want to see women with workers on the streets they don't want to see should work. with males in schools they want to see an integrated society and the social democrats promised a little while same line being the social well. being that's for our benefit i did it is something that everyone in denmark believe this to be able to look at. the german nurse who murdered 85 patients has been given a 2nd life sentence 42 year old neil's hogle earlier said he was and loosely sorry

in 2005 was caught while tampering with a syringe pump and administering a cardiac meds and without cause this led to a series of investigations he was initially convicted of attempted murder in 2008 and sentenced to more than 7 years in prison then 2015 a judge sentenced him to life in prison for 2 murders and 2 attempted murders were a financial report from outside court. that is of no doubt an absolutely shocking case of course we 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 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 at any age any sacks any so show bag around any raise 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 probably the most shocking thing is that news her go committed his crimes to differ in medical institutions and while he was serving as a nurse 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 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 we have so through problem. the perpetrator who is completely without feelings and empathy and then we have a culture of looking away if people had paid more attention to the information to the details from things would have been different. the world of day for our fags for watching i'll join you again in about half an hour with your next news.

person 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 a forum to address today's and vital issues. watch our special forum coverage on r.t. . officer . told them to get up off the ground serve began to pat him down. and then freeze on the sounds of an f. 18 and soon the grown man the christening essentially the officer of the bag through his turn. was to go away from the officer. to his crew.

obviously did they kind of lunge for the web in one semester and they would have been down 3 swung as i have says he didn't hit him i never saw any contact with you do you any kind went back to where they were so the answer is back here there try again 15 feet apart at this point and that's when the obvious or his gun even turned 3. china does not want to fight like that we are supposed to fight up at the same time we're not afraid of it china is bold and resolute and is able to defend its legitimate rights and interests in china is still holding the door open for the us china trade negotiations if the united states she wishes to proceed with them needs to be more sincere. in this research vessel was specially built for the optic and on topic and now it's

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 ocean ology hydro chemistry hydro physics bottom research and ocean biology continued for many years. until the arctic ice started to melt. serious further with those with the good work there will be some whose carbon film is i'm a designer but the photos and notes in the galley you look at the docs for but also through the social pull through but i. would do the producer loza role for cremated you owed a living will do was a bust doesn't look. most for. most
