opposition against president with a. large number were just to keep the opposition as. difficult the moment but certainly. everybody is going to. see me president of the. people. there the rightful heir to ventura. and the serial killer gets a 2nd life sentence for murdering 85 patients while working at 2 hospitals in germany. and russia's northern capital some thousands of international decision makers at the international economic forum. expected to address delegates again later friday. morning live from the start international with me kevin irwin here this morning thank you for joining us and for this life offer. world news up it is friday and

today u.k. prime minister treason may officially steps down as leader of the conservative party opposed she's in for 3 years now the scramble to replace her is in overdrive nominations for the tory leadership start on monday with 11 candidates vying for the top job of this morning takes a look at who's in the running. she's been burned by bragg fit and now the woman known as teflon to reason is on the way out after repeatedly failing to push her e.u. withdrawal deal through parliament last month the pm finally announced that she'd be stepping down and she did it with a whimper rather than a bang the 2nd female prime minister but certainly not the last. i do so with no ill will but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had to the opportunity to serve the country i love there is looking at the number of

candidates that have joined the race to replace may as prime minister may find themselves crying to and they're seeing what's going on here they've got no say in what's going on they can see there's 11 people standing up saying they want to you . know you always call me no it's even worse with this has got to be detrimental the long term of the conservative party sure officially the race only begins on monday but already there are 7 leadership contenders with 2 having already dropped out and the british media is indulging itself poor ing over the kaleidoscope of varying degrees of soft and hard bragg's it's candidates like foreign secretary jeremy hunt health secretary match hancock or environment secretary michael gove although there is already one clear favorite.

and he's already got donald trump's seal of approval no worse i like your my i've liked him for a long time he's i think you do a very good job but the tory leadership contest is a complicated process and past experience has shown that the favorite never wins so this is anybody's race each candidate has to have the support of at least 8 members of parliament from that conservative m.p.'s will be asked to vote several times in order to whittle down the crowd of power hungry politicians to just one final head to head battle now that. point the decision will be turned over to conservative party members that grassroots conservatives it could be from down the road or tricia who lives next door and it is they who will ultimately decide who

becomes the next prime minister with such a crowded field of hopefuls this summer britain is bracing itself for a political popularity contest like no other as for 2 reason may the woman that's been forced to leave 10 downing street before securing britain's departure from the e.u. will stay on as a lame duck leader her job now is to keep that chair warm for several more weeks until busy one of this lot finally takes over the top job. politicians international says you make governor this year russia's northern capital so it is both to discuss the future of finance and business as they see it it's day 2 then and a number of high profile talks are expected between top diplomats and prime ministers later this seems a still a bit of time on the 1st day for smoking entertainment after all the official events yes they russian president vladimir putin this journey's kind of xi jinping

went for a cruise on the never really nice there again as well as put it in the russian symbolic role of crews there with the 1st shot of the 1917 revolution came from he also took the must to pieces of the world renowned state hermitage museum so nice little break away from the business talk going on there but let's get back to business should we go there now live to the some petersburg international forum i'm delighted to say the russian direct investment fund curial to be true. rather polished hello sir thomas morning good morning for the last 5 years russia's pretty through pretty tough sanctions all road variously but the country's been brazilian what's the feeling at this year's forum was russia heading briefly. well we can't 15 trillion dollars off investors with president putin last night when we had a meeting with him in which is that investors are interested to invest in russia from

many countries have been on since 3000000000 dollar war so deals in st petersburg forum today including many with china i mean it is middle east and it is many of his other nations and of course economy grows as the round 2 percent last year may be a little bit slow this year but the mood is quite positive among foreign investors who see a very strong macroeconomic stability in russia and we see the government who is undertaking the major national politics national bureau because of the 300000000000 dollars investment program by the government to boost growth and china a coast keen as well a very welcome guest president xi jinping saying that putin is his best friend if you like a one of his best friends around the world in various ways this belton road initiative this much talked about what's that going to bring to the party as far as russia is concerned. well we're working very closely with china we created russia china investment fund which is a partnership between russian direct investment fund which i have and china investment corporation and we made investments all of them generate very good at

attractive return and yesterday we announced the formation of a new investment fund with china in technology we also made dell 1st deal in venture capital with holden which is a major techno park in china and also we close our investment in russia jointly with os megafauna mailboat are you will build the largest platform in russia so lots of great important corporation with china it's really important because it's similar to a last minute thing over the last 10 years president putin the president of china including president xi have been working to improve russia china relations there definitely it's a poll right now and we need to do more projects more investment together but it's very. to that's not a friendship a game stumm by the it's a strategic alliance that really makes sense. carol tell us a little bit about the forum there are know that convention center is a massive place what's the turnout been like it is a good place to be is there

a lot of really constructive conversation going on big deals being signed what's what's the vibe you've got for this year. you have nothing to lots of discussions lots of discussions about how to make russian economy even more efficient lots of discussions what projects can be done and lots of new deals being announced and for example has metro we announced a deal to invest in fossil which will be chain little stores will be owned by private entrepreneurs all around on the same brand name so it will give jobs to believe for 2000 private individuals and that's a good thing we invest in them quite a lot so there are lots of discussions what does the interest in sectors to invest in lots of interest in artificial intelligence at the college and disharmony we launched yesterday a great exhibit of artificial arts artificial intelligence an art them how does that work so well it's a very interesting conversation flowed for people looking forward to playing the

recession today where president putin president xi president before me and some other leaders will be discussing the state of world affairs how to make sure the world economy is growing and not set back by trade just because the issue here is where putin yesterday things ai is the way ahead people believe that will be world leaders as he was saying to me carol legacy the sort of thanks for taking the time and you got a busy day carol dimitri of head of the russian direct investment fund thanks me live on our international thank you so much. and just say looking ahead for later on today more of the highlights as we just heard from mr dmitri of the 2nd day of international economic forum to be dipping in we'll be dipping into that throughout the day various things to catch up on including the plenary session and of course you can keep it all is well on our site. finger. well this morning's news next united states continues to run put pressure

on venezuela's nicolas maduro his government announcing new sanctions against the state owned oil company now but it seems though that washington is still unsure about the future of venezuela in case. a leaked audio recording suggests u.s. secretary of state might pompei was funny it difficult to unite the fractured venezuelan opposition into one cohesive forces caleb maupin explains bike pompei always been caught making some comments about venezuela that were not intended for the primetime viewers apparently he's not sure who would replacement dural if his regime change efforts are successful. just to keep the opposition united in. really difficult the moment it's really. everybody is going to the. president will be people who are the rightful heir. pompei i was pretty clear about the fact that this discussion was not meant for public consumption so we did get a favorable response. this is what america's top diplomat said at the united

nations when the lights were on and the cameras were rolling now we have a new leader. in venezuela who has promised to bring elections and constitutional order back to venezuela and security back to the region we cannot delay this critical conversation which has the world's attention for the sake of venezuela and the region we must support the venezuelan people and do so right now though my comp aoe isn't too concerned about what happens in venezuela after the current leadership is overthrown now let's not forget that the us meddling in the country's internal affairs is motivated purely by selfless humanitarian concerns about the people so after regime change there are 40 plus contenders who will then fight it out for power now does that remind you of any recent events in current history take for example the u.s. invasion of iraq dick cheney said that it would go well my belief is we will in

fact be greeted as liberators but there's been nothing but chaos and civil war in iraq since the usa invaded there are 288000 deaths so far and counting and dick cheney wasn't completely clueless wasn't what he said in 1904 but you got to iraq and took it over and took down saddam hussein's government the money going to put in place for take libya hillary clinton was delighted to hear that gadhafi had been put to the sword we came we saw our died but now even barack obama admits that toppling the libyan government didn't come with a game plan for what happens next what he considers his worst mistake as president probably failing to. plan for. the day after. what i think was the right thing to do in. the intervening. libya but who needs planning right after all the people of venezuela would probably love to have their homeland go the way of iraq and libya nothing says freedom and liberation like

having regime change followed by civil war and thousands of refugees fleeing for their lives it confirms something that we you know long suspected but you know now it you know is out in the open that the opposition is so internally divided washington you know would take over the figures like marco rubio favor a radical regime change scenario which involves the effectively destroying the existing the institutional structure that has been built in venice where the you know in the words of john bolton that to open up venezuela's oil sector to us and you know to really return but as well to the pre 999 status quo where it was a reliable ally in the region and you know reliable agent of the u.s. opec to maintain a low while prices as the u.s. diplomatic cables themselves acknowledge. we have a chance to discuss the league with russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman maria so how to really it. this is interfering into the mastic policy

that is why it's misstep by just all the media the person. with whom he has that conversation so this is you are 100 percent interfering. to the. domestic policy of a country independent country independent state this is understanding some countries probably washington and probably that it is not that easy and days. withdraw official government from independent country and 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 rule and political life but not it's not up to washington to decide. rather this friday morning or not internationally with us democrats calling for the impeachment to look again of president with ever more further than before even the results of the murder of 4000 put them off instead to break down the case against the president right after this break. join me every thursday on the alex simon sure and i'll be speaking to guests of the

world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. what is it called the coin is magic and the new type of digital currency decentralized digital scarcity chancellor. second for bankers call the genesis blog for reason calling it civil disobedience a source of optimism because i can control my own financial destiny it's just a new way of coming to consensus it's a game changer in the human history and this is columbus discovering a new world this paradigm shifting technology that transforms economics and finance in a heartbeat the apollo 11 landing on to the max and stacey. international

is close to 2 months now of course since special counsel robert moore this report said that donald trump did not collude with russia to win the presidency but the. know the democrats are still desperately trying to find a way to impeach the president now building their case on obstruction of justice allegations all senior correspondent we're getting of takes up the story again this morning. there are those who support trouble those who want him impeached and those who really really really want him impeached preferably now and in a painful way take for instance this particularly enthusiastic new york times contributor who has gone and written up actual articles of impeachment to save

everyone's time i suppose or maybe just a hobby of his who knows others c.b.s. have impeachment track is literally counting congressmen who are calling for trump to be impeached like kids opening chocolate filled advent calendars 63 now out of 535 senators and representatives just a few 100 to go and trump will hiring just need a reason you can't impeach for annoying tweets about noxious has styles or know exists and collusion thats lefties obstruction when a subject of an investigation obstructs that in this to geisha or lies to investigators it strikes at the core of the government's effort to find the truth and hold wrongdoers accountable is a question that's been giving lawyers migraines how or why does one obstruct an investigation an investigation that later proves he was innocent of the crime he

was being investigated for the special counsel's report states that his investigation did not establish that members of the trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the russian government in its election interference activities namely any sort of collusion with russia it's almost impossible to have an obstruction of justice no underlying crime what makes trump especially awful obstruction is he voluntarily gave his investigators sometimes and writing material on how he allegedly tried to. obstruct the investigation like when you reportedly told the then white house counsel to get rid of mueller by him and then allowed that counsel to go and testified to mueller the full the new york times wrote a fake piece today implying that because white house counsel dan mcgann was given hours of testimony to the special counsel he must be joined in time but i love him

and all others to testify i didn't have to i have nothing to hide in fact trumpet boasted earlier about what a good boy he was being about how much workload he had provided the investigators the white house had to do over 20000 pages of documents the 2016 campaign 1400000 pages 20 white house employees gave voluntary interviews it's like trump was building an obstruction of justice case against himself and on top of that he was terrible at it. wasn't fod investigated for 674 days and only finished when he was done so this is it if you can figure out how to impeach trump for trying to conceal crimes he didn't commit contact your local democrat immediately i expect anytime soon will be offering

a reward it is not obstruction of justice and anyway again this was the obstruction of justice not for a court proceeding of course this was not a court proceeding this was an informal investigation through an executive agency an executive body and and so because of that the elements are a little bit different it would have to be willful omission or willful concealment or destruction of evidence during an investigation which of course did not happen in this case i don't think in the end there will be any consequences for obstruction because i don't think obstruction can be proven i do believe that the democrats are still reeling in the democrat. that's want to make sure that they're not seen as having wasted $40000000000.00 of the taxpayer money in order to start or engage in an investigation and a spying campaign based on evidence that wasn't even legitimate so i think the democrats are going to continue to try i think that will be a term that continues to be thrown around just so they can save face because they're looking to retake the white house in 2020. german

84 patients has been given a 2nd life sentence earlier 42 year old news hogle said he was endlessly sorry with the. oldenburg festival hall this is where court proceedings had to be held the original court hole was simply not able to accommodate all those people who wanted to attend and massive trial huge public attention the case raised many questions but gave a few on cers and one of the biggest questions was what is the exact number of people that mr her girl killed we heard from many including the main george of the process that it is still unclear this is him entering the room packed with people he's caused so much harm to someone who was supposed to relieve the pain and prolong life but instead brought death to his patients received a 2nd life sentence for killing 85 people have to an earlier sentence back in 2015

for 2 murders and 2 attempted murders the slate his conviction his 3rd already out of the 100 murders he was charged with her go admitted killing 43 patients but didn't rule out another 52 murders he was not sure and denied 5 but officials suspect there could be more than 200 deaths investigators have tried hard to skew 130 bodies in germany poland and turkey many more have been cremated burying the truth for good this is where news her girls started playing his german version of a russian roulette oldenburg clinic working as a nurse here for 2 years studying 999 mr hurdle would pick up a patient could be any arrays so dander any age or health condition a social background to make an injection that would cause complications so that later mr hurdle could calm and quickly and professionally revive the patient get in everybody's admiration he's calling us at the clinic or so impressed with his

skills that they even gave him a flattering nickname resuscitation rambo with out of a knowing that the person they praised so mom. which was in most of the cases behind the patients complications in the 1st place not all of mr her goals victims who were able to survive many of them died bennett was killed in 2001 and it was this. weekend when many people have been killed or maybe have been killed we don't know exactly everyone thought the operation was good everything is high no but then there was a call at i guess 22 o'clock almost 22 o'clock in the evening and they said we're very sorry about your father is dead and expected me very unexpectedly. just opened. and that's. becoming sparse and l. suspected nothing until the statistics came out showing that the number of deaths

in the clinic almost doubled since mr who joined the team but instead of investigating the cases or reporting their fears they simply decided to get rid of the nurse but before they gave him a very good recrimination letter that he brought here to this hospital in the neighboring town of delman horst mr her go got hired here and he's deadly game continued for another 3 years until he got caught in 2005 and yet another question many now was it is how did this all happen and what should be done to prevent this in the future. shocking riff an ocean of reporting that is not show the very many stories were across the world few today this friday morning dot com of course it got so much more with iraq again a breaking news as it happens as well to forget i'm kevin 0 in for me in that same big banks want to go and have a great day. for

the project was good but you've done your bit like if you missed it or don't believe people what. was the response to move people soon that you. give them a visit should be a moment to. just be still the no close you you presume this loop i'm going to. move him he's doing the same but the most honest opinion he's. going to steamboat me is meaning either he's got a few days to. come over there must.

be as good as you know do you know what more you more you would almost today. if the whole truth and doing. some good you'll meet someone who really was the. start of them. in a way as. trump continues his promise that helped place tariffs on goods for mexico if they don't do more to stem the tide of illegal immigrants crowd. and to america but he has little or no support in congress including from his own party what happens next in this game of chicken with america's southern neighbor we're taking a look on this edition of politics. welcome to politicking i'm matthew cook in for larry king so president trump is not

backing down from his promise to impose tariffs on imports coming into the u.s. from mexico if they don't join him in his efforts to stop the flow of illegal immigrants entering the u.s. mexico is america's largest trading partner and the president has virtually no support in congress for his plan including from the republicans so what happens next in this standoff and who's going to blink 1st let's begin there with the political panel they are george c. republican strategist he's in new york city and in borden town new jersey david murray democratic strategist and former advisor to barack obama's 20082012 presidential campaigns george david welcome to the program thank you matthew good to be with you matthew so let's start with these tariffs 5 percent tariffs on all goods coming from mexico there's no g.o.p. support for this george let's start with you in your estimation where does this game of chicken and. well i'm in north new york today but i'm

a texan and one thing i thought we all learn from or to from the germans of all people is you don't fight a 2 front war at the same time you take care of one thing at a time and i want the mexico distraction to go away as quickly as possible sure we have issues with mexico sure when you share a multi 100 mile border with somebody can get complicated but there are as you stated previously there are number one trading partner ahead of canada ahead of china and the president mentioned while he's in the in the united kingdom that they were number one they're actually number 7 and our trade with mexico is actually much much more balanced than it is with china so mixing your metaphors between trade and immigration control and national security related to that i think is a mistake john cornyn is a very dear old friend of mine who was number 2 in the senate until this year and john thune is the current number 2 in the senate he's a friend of mine i think they're going to act very very rationally with respect to this and they're going to push back really ha.
