china is still holding the door open for the us china trade negotiations if the united states which wishes to proceed with them needs to be more sincere. how can we help citizens become healthier and happier moscow full of the 7th of july is our european business program interactive exhibition open health congress festival the little details don't have also been forum dot com 16 plus. as britain's prime minister treason may officially steps down as leader of the conservative party the race to replaces all with 11 candidates now i got the top job. and turned serial killer gets a 2nd life sentence for murdering 85 patients while working at hospitals in germany . and russia's northern capitals in petersburg thousands of international decision

makers at the international economic forum with putin there again expected to address delegates shortly along with the chinese leader and many others but it happens we will take you there by. good afternoon just turn to in the afternoon moscow time live from russia this is our international stay with us for at least next half hour on this friday live news world update then starting with this one today big day or not maybe for u.k. prime ministers series may officially stepping down as leader of the conservative party a post she served him for 3 years now the scramble for a place is in overdrive nominations for the torah leadership start on monday with 11 candidates still vying for the top job takes a look at who's in the running. she's been burned by bragg's it and now the woman

known as teflon to reason is on the way busy 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 during 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 too 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 me for. always call me no it's even worse when 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 in heaven leadership contenders with 2 having already dropped out and the british media is indulging itself pouring over the kaleidoscope of varying degrees of soft and hard bragg's it's candidates like foreign secretary jeremy hunt health secretary matt 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. yes and past experience has shown 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 at that point the decision will be turned over to conservative party members that grassroots conservatives it could be pulled 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 warm for several more weeks until one of this lot finally takes over the top job. but she willing to see research director at a london think told us whoever takes over from series of may is going to real battle ahead with parliament. well unfortunately she's left behind very very difficult situation for the incoming prime minister i think another vote unlikely in the short because this will be seen as not simply trial by those type of votes of leave i mean it kind of undermines the whole idea of democracy if you don't stick to results and then keep repeating the election over and over again and so you get the result that the establishment wants so that would really really further undermine trust in politics nevertheless it's going to be very difficult given the vast majority of m.p.'s are probably you're not going to let probably block any

real breakthrough deal so if we get. prime minister he's really he or she's really going to struggle to get through parliament and could even face a vote of no confidence to prevent the u.k. leaving with no deal which point he or she will probably have to call a general election and that will be hugely risky. united states continues to ramp up pressure on president durham's government of venezuela announcing new sanctions against the state owned oil company but it seems though that washington is still unsure about the future events where they should step down a legal deal recording suggests the u.s. secretary of state is finding it difficult to unite the fractured venezuelan opposition into one cohesive force kellett mopeds got more like 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 lurking under which just to keep the opposition as devilishly difficult the moment it's really. everybody's going to be

there isn't any. president. people. there right. pompei i was pretty clear about the fact that this discussion was not meant for public consumption so we got a favorable response i was 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 pompei o 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 listen to what he said in 1904 when she got to iraq and took it over and took down saddam hussein's government the money going to put into place for take libya hillary clinton was delighted to hear that gadhafi had been put to the sword and 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 of 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 institutional structure that has been built in venice when the you know in the words of john bolton that to open up venezuela's busy 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 what a chance to discuss the leaker the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman rues account of a. this is interfering into mastic policy that is why it's mr just told 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 this is understanding some countries probably washington and probably that it is not that easy nowadays.

to draw official government from independent country and state that it's it's not fair and it's actually not 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. 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 own political life but it's not up to washington to decide. germany murdered 85 patients has been given a 2nd life sentence earlier 42 year old neil's hogle city was endlessly sorry but i can 2005 who was caught with a syringe but it ministering

a machine without cause directly to a series of investigations he was initially convicted of attempted murder in 2008 and sentenced to more than 7 years in prison and 2015 a judge sentenced him to life in prison for 2 murders and 2 attempted murders. was that his latest trial. oldenburg festival hall this is where court proceedings had to be held the regional 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 servers 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 geology 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 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 race so done there any age or health condition or social background to make an injection that would cause complications so that later mr hurdle could calm and quickly and professionally revive the patient getting everybody's admiration he's calling us at the clinic or so impressed with his skills that they even gave him a flattering nickname resuscitate rammed by without of knowing that the person they praised so macho 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 fine 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. numbs you. know just opened the roots of punch and that's the right word for it becoming sparse and l. suspected nothing until the statistics came out showing that the number of das in the clinic almost doubled since mr hurd who joined the team but instead of investigating the cases or reporting their fears they simply decided to get through to the nurse but before they gave him a very good recrimination letter that he wanted to hear it to this hospital in the neighboring town of delman horus mr her go get 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. to 40 mosco tom good afternoon i'm kevin though in this is the international coming up president trumps expected back in the us off for his trip to europe but there is trouble brewing for him u.s. democrats among his impatient again but with even more fervor than before we'll break down the case against the president when we come back. most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the 1st one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest read. to stand out of the news business you just need as the right questions to the right answer.

question. before in the eighty's with the rise of japan. to respond rejiggered to global currency markets at the plaza accord. in the same people that gave us the plunge protection team after the crash in 1000 . so china doesn't seem to be wanting to play that game so they're going to have to come up with some other strategy and that's the moment appear on the rise.

again president trump says things could be very different between washington and moscow without all the rhetoric surrounding russia he was speaking to fox news on thursday. well they have a good relationship with russia i think a church for the family which you know i did have a good relationship with russia is close to 2 months now so special counsel robert morris reports said donald trump did not collude with russia to win the presidency but the fire has not died and the democrats are still desperately trying to find a way to impeach the president now building their case on obstruction of justice allegations our senior correspondent were against the of take similar story criminal justice system there are those who support trouble those who want him impeached and who really really really want him impeached preferably now and in the 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 hairstyles or nonexistent collusion all that's left is obstruction when a subject of an investigation obstruct that investigation or lies to investigators it strikes at the core of the government's effort to find the truth and hold wrong do is accountable here's 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 investigate . 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 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 he reportedly told the then white house counsel to get rid of mueller fire him and then allow that counsel to go and testify to mueller the faily new york times wrote a fake piece today implying that because white house counsel don my gann was given hours of testimony to the special counsel he must be john dean type of rant but i

allowed 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 to investigators the white house handed 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 any time soon i'll be offering

a reward it is not obstruction of justice in any way again this was the obstruction of justice not for a court proceeding of course this was no. at a court proceeding this was an informal investigation through an executive agency or an executive body 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 real and the democrats want to make sure that they are not seen as having wasted $40000000000.00 of the taxpayer money in order to start our 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. big event. was a politician's internationalization make is that it rushes northern capital to discuss the future of finance and business is the same 29 had it's day 2 than of the economic forum and the number of high profile talks of the they are expected to between top diplomats and prime ministers but it seems a spurt of time for time does well it was sure to leave it in for the. big movie like this after official events of yesterday russian president putin this chinese counterpart you've been with for a crucial never revert lovely evening by the looks of it then they visited the symbolic of war battleship where incidentally the 1st shot of the 1917 revolution came from that history that then they took of the most to pieces of the world renowned state museum but there is no such as a bit earlier on with the c.e.o. of the russian direct investment fund about how the foreign benefits right now russia china relations particularly. working very closely with charging that we

created russia china investment which is a partnership between russia direct investment. and china investment corporation and we made the best one for all of them to earn the right to. good attractive returns and yesterday we announced the formation of a new investment fund with china in technology we also made our 1st deal in venture capital with tools holding which is a major techno park in china and also we close ali baba our investment in russia jointly with us mega form and mail are you will build the largest you commerce platform in russia so lots of great important cooperation with china it's really important because it's not a last minute thing over the last 10 years president putin and president of china including president xi have been working to improve russia china relations there definitely its support right now and we need to do more projects more investment together but it's very important it's not a friendship a game stumm by the it's

a strategic alliance that really makes sense. while looking ahead to today these live pictures now it is a lot of people gathered in the main hall there in st petersburg because the 29 team plenary sessions to take place the big event the main event it's going to feature speeches by video in all so also teaching paying also the president both garia the prime minister of armenia prime minister slovakia and until you get the u.n. secretary general taking part it's going to be moderated by our very own i'm pleased to say sophie shevardnadze while she was just works for everyone including these people very well known in russia here look at the amount of people that are there such as the importance of this event a lot of the is listening to this it seems to have gained popularity every year held in a prestigious huge forum and some petersburg as a say we'll leave it for now we're going to be dipping into it as soon as president putin ever takes the stage there which will be in the next 5101520 minutes i guess

and starts speaking we'll take you there to we'll bring you the whole thing live a promise. elsewhere final story before i go over today qatar based brokers rogers here is facing accusations of double standards for reporting on n l g b t q event the channel's repeatedly been reporting on this kind of event worldwide on its english channel but crucially of course qatar itself prohibits any kind of homosexuality with penalties of up to 7 years in prison over it.

today with more l g p t representative in the public eye we discuss what impact they have so tell us who you are proud of why the west the well should know about them. copulates with me over 16 years of age without compulsion. shall be punished whose imprisonment for a true up to 70 years. continue to discriminate against migrants women and lesbian gay bisexual and transgender

individuals. it may just be that. that cutter is trying to give some press freedom to al-jazeera it may just be that simple but it certainly is raising a lot of eyebrows while they are state state oh and i believe they do care about making a profit and trying to discuss news that appeals to their particular audience and so if the english language. version is trying to you know in some way pander or or just broaden its market for business purposes that's one thing but if it really is that they're trying to do something that might be perceived as disruptive or somehow corrupting a marketplace i think people would have

a right to be concerned about that. snapshot of the very many stories were around the world covering for you today this friday the next programs lined up for you in your part of the world after a break or about to head to but let's just for a 2nd go back to those live pictures from the plenary session here by the sea up there in the same petersburg economic forum a huge gathering there the day they're getting ready because imminently we're going to hear the chinese president the president will get president putin all speaking creating a sustainable development agenda is the watch look across it. this

he's doing this in both the us and us filling out the main machine you going to do in boning him in in the very least you kind of face it. you know you are never. going to pull treats because you're going to you know what who are you more you would almost be dangerous. is the whole truth in doing this. within you only someone who knows the. ins and also a way of. joining me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.
