or the. whole idea of the local was. based on what. you would you were leanings was just. because of. that. you know with. the greatest alliances the world has ever known donald trump tells america's special relationship with britain during a state visit there but not everyone's convinced the flood central london in protest against his trip. breaking cover while the u.s. had finished the sanctions a leak told a recording suggests washington's failing to unite the country's opposition against president with europe. just to keep the opposition has.

said we've got to run so i want to. cause that america and other nations for not practicing what they preach and not only when it comes to trade was the russian president's assessment came of the simply international economic forum speaking alongside other world leaders. and the german serial killer who murdered 85 patients while serving as a nurse was given a 2nd life sentence but the police suspect that his final death toll may be more than 200. good morning and welcome to the weekly a round of the big stories of the last 7 days as reported by us here at r.t. international in moscow my name is kevin 1st and donald trump who is in the u.k. this week on official state visit he joins european leaders the queen and the prime minister to reason may. for the 75th anniversary of the d.-day landings in world

war 2 while there he also held talks on trade and iran referring to the special relationship between britain and america the extraordinary alliance between the american and the british people it's the greatest alliance the world has ever known i've always believed that cooperation and compromise are the basis of strong alliances and nowhere is this more true than in the special relationship. while as it was happening in central london meantime thousands held the so-called carnival of resistance to protest president trump visit that giant baby trump balloon reappeared to get it made its debut last year during his 1st visit as president of the country at a media briefing and choose the mr trump was quick to label coverage of the mass protests as fake news as far as the protests i have to tell you because i commented on it yesterday we left the prime minister the queen the royal family there were

thousands of people in the streets cheering and even coming over today there were thousands of people cheering and then i heard that there were protests they said where are the protests i don't see any protests i did see a small protest today when i came very small so a lot of it is fake news i hate to say former scottish air repeat david coburn emphasized the importance of a strong relationship with the u.s. now in light of the long going broke the drama. he's very popular in the likes of states he's popular with a good number of people in this country as well as you can see by the victory of the brics party. the atmosphere has changed nigel is very supportive of president trump i think he is on the same wavelength so i think britain is moving in the same direction as united states in terms of policy and all weeks and trade and if we eyes are set if we can get those fabulous trade deals with the united states great for britain great for breaks. for the 2 so that we just go in the

united states continue to ramp up pressure on president duras government in venezuela on thursday to announce new sanctions against the state owned oil company there but it seems washington still unsure about whether or not madeira should in fact step down a leaked order recording suggests the us secretary of state's finding it difficult to unite the fractured venezuelan opposition into one cohesive force as kellam open explains mike pompei always been caught making some comments about venezuela that were not intended for the prime time viewers apparently he's not sure who would replacement dural if his regime change efforts are successful lerton under which is to keep the opposition united as devilishly difficult the moment you're only. everybody is going to really there isn't anything that says to me that a resident of the us will be people who have their rightful here it's or greater. pompei i was pretty clear about the fact that this discussion was not meant for

public consumption so we did get 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 the mike 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 us 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 what 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 all suspected but you know now 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 by the institutional structure that has been built in but as well also in the words of john bolton to open up venezuela's busy oil sector to us and you know to really were charged as well to the pre $999.00 as bad as oh where it was a reliable ally in the region and you know reliable agent of the u.s. opec to maintain you know low oil prices as u.s. diplomatic cables themselves acknowledge. world leaders in the business elite gathered in russia's northern capitals in petersburg friday they were there for the

annual international economic forum president putin and china's leader took part of the lengthy q. and a in the congress hole a co-sponsor of the 4 really put trying to say if we should have done so indeed was the moderator of the last of it give us a taste of my address. which is why didn't she meet him without any conditions or yes it was not because of did i refuse i wasn't invited i mean i'm just i'm we know what kind of negotiate a trump is he's a wonderful businessman and 1st he terminates an existing contract rights and then stops playing by some rules then there are forced negotiations and in the end he gets a deal which is favorable to him that he wants the same nafta that he's something similar happened to japan what will happen. are words and vertical. maybe i haven't known since this question in my notes. thank. you you see

it is good i asked it but it's generally it's good that you hear and asking questions now i was here last year the year before that x. and this event was always moderated by western journalists this time though when it was you know questions about russian meddling or russian interference because you had many other things to talk about that are very important for this world work now right funny i think we'll only have one plenary session that was dedicated to russia to playing into the american election so i don't think it was more us going into that one more time yet and the time passed and we have the reports it was obvious to us now to talk about that was that. there were a lot of things that we could have discussed it in terms of china russia cooperation road balance cooperation persecute them presidency they were for us their diplomatic you know my question today what answer me straight forwardly that

when i was asking them about the trade war because i do believe it is the most important economic topic of today between china and america and they were sort of hitting hinting at a. american side starting war but they wouldn't be playing the americans are a very diplomatic path but both of them pretty much agreed that. it could not be the global war all the global economy and free trade with protectionism and isolationism and if you want to leave together in one world that we better do it together you were talking about trade wars that was of course the number one talk but because you were sitting right next to vladimir putin and the chinese leader. now i just want to play you a segment of that discussion when the leaders. they were quite the metaphorical in the way he answered sophie's question. let's take it was. but you know if you're unhappy with fleas in your fur coat you can simply throw

a fur coat into the oven it's that's in c. of us natural 30 new chairman z. has explained the tariff war as a fight between globalization and to globalization the question is where does russia stand in the fight for the economic superiority get this ship loses a good chinese proverb when the tigers are fighting in the valley a smart monkey sits out of the way and watches how it then. so you see the presidents are not giving me this but it's clear who they're talking about and it's clear that they are not the ones war initiating this conflict when it comes to the economic international battlefield play that's what i meant that were very diplomatic in their answers because both of them are way to brands to actually point fingers at anyone in particular but i think will understand that they meant america and they meant that we didn't start this trade for america

started and it's best that we need to clean up together because it is not a good thing for the world economy and then we went on to talk about russian sanctions we got to the russian sanctions are we got to that point a bit later and the line up of the panel was very interesting as well because we had the leaders of. the biggest country russia the 2nd biggest economy china of course there's no disrespect to the smaller countries but the e.u. members that were there on that panel there are perhaps not the most important voices in brussels but still they have something very important to say and it was great to see how you dug into the matter with them they were saying that in many cases. even though they support the. position of the european union. in many cases they're against the sanctions and this is not the way to go right but

actually i wouldn't agree with you when you're saying that the voices don't really matter in the e.u. because the sanctions they're actually reenacted the latter so their voices do matter if either of them i point out would vote against the sanctions that the sanctions will be off so that was a very important point. to ask them and i mean you could tell that their hands are tied and they couldn't say that we really want the sanctions to be off that we are part of the european union but that's like the usual answer that european representatives get and i mean we can understand them right because they're not in a position to go against the whole union but they're very clear about the message that it's crazy that even the people who are actually putting the sanctions in place. in 5 minutes are looking for ways to trade somehow with russia and this is double standards that shouldn't be taking place and it is better for everyone

involved for the sanctions to be off and i believe it's very important that you were able to get this kind of answer from them. more lose the way could you have a nurse who murdered 85 patients has been given a 2nd life sentence the meals earlier said he was and those least story this is timeline back in 2005 ogle was caught while time for him with a syringe pump administrative cardiac medicine without cause that led to a series of investigations he was initially convicted of attempted murder in 2008 and sentence just over 7 years in prison then 2015 a judge sentenced him to life in prison for 2 murders and 2 attempted murders. with the latest row. 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 he entering the room packed with people he's caused so much harm to someone who is 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 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 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 rambo without of knowing that the person they praise. 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 the clinics personnel suspected nothing until the statistics came out showing that the number of deaths in the clinic almost doubled since mr hurd who joined the team but instead of investigating the cases henri paul to their fears they simply decided to get rid of the nurse but before they gave him a very good recrimination letter that he wrote here to this hospital in the neighboring town of delman horace to mr her go get hired here and. these deadly game continued for another 3 years until he got caught in 2005 how did this all happen we have been able to talk about that with so many people and all of them

almost agree that there reason a complex of reasons behind this terrible situation 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 several problems 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 then things would have been different the socks international good morning folks take the time to be with us richard around the world this weekend coming up the hit t.v. show chernobyl goodness as a new people's interest in the world's worst nuclear accident took place over 30 years ago martin spoke to one of the key figures in the clean up operation after the tragedy of it major general nickel i've had a colonel we'll hear from him when we come back.

what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or something want to. get it right to the press this is like the 3 of them all can't be good. interested in the water how. do you. agree has long positioned itself as a sovereign player within the e.u. it can stand up to brussels put its foot delane when it comes to its own national interests but when it comes to dealing with the trumpet ministration is the albany

government just as ready to put hungary 1st. sunday morning or moscow good morning next police waited the a story in broadcasting corporation city h.q. wednesday the move was over the publication of the so-called afghan files which exposed operations by australian special forces in afghanistan the a.b.c. has vowed to continue reporting nonetheless without fear the search was in relation to allegations of publishing classified material contrary to provisions of the crimes act of 1914 this is the result of supporting documentation or material being

presented to the court which provides sufficient suspicion that a criminal offense has been committed. the 2017 report alleges war crimes including the killing of children and unarmed civilians one case involved the killing of a man this son allegedly shot by mistake while they slept and in another case an afghan detainee was shot dead after being left alone with an australian soldier while these shocking revelations were leaked to the media by former defense lawyer david mcbride he says he'd try to draw officials attention to the seriousness of the crimes before ultimately going public earlier this year was charged with 5 counts of leaking classified information and is expected to stand trial over it meet on the a.b.c. says the raid raises concerns over freedom of the press and public scrutiny of defense issues the broadcaster further says it stands by the reporting and will continue to work in the public interest in the week then we got reaction to the story from our various guests. police and eventually the very dedicated and what

message not see them stopping but this is a dangerous thing this generous watson said about those in this force as to whether this was because lots because the genesis question well yes and it gets shared with the sources that they are using and people's lives that they are very much at risk which is the agenda behind the arrests of these investigations the particular release of the files has been something you know some of the dissolution in thanks for all those in the. district in military a sense the revelation of this s. and also seemed to be the drafts fence rather than actually seeing the s.a.'s as knitting fry the issue has been more than those revealing those crimes committed i think to violation over here without incident palestine by one of the united states

by u.k. and while still here is the norm so soon use 000000000 crore was the make sure if this is going to come to. our east of the attention of the public it will be probably evil boy the body the body likes normalcy of diverse than of bubbly great think it will be will be buried oh it will be an acceptable. and those through in those who should all really very bad the records already gets in malta broads will be. beaten up on a star in the boston so the station. final episode of the hit t.v. show chernobyl led monday the series based on events surrounding the 1906 nuclear disaster as revived interest in the tragedy. i'm pleased to report that the situation in chernobyl is stable.

and every item of uranium is like a bullet. some of them will not stop firing from 50000. the disaster over 30 years ago and is the largest nuclear accident in history it's estimated that almost 600000 people were affected and that up to 4000 could die early as a result radiation levels in the epicenter were massively higher than a lethal dose and this is what at the time where the reactor looked to explode it looks like today.

the disaster lead to massive radiation exposure which was made more widespread by the wind at the time which blew fallout across europe in asia one of the key figures in the clean up operation after the tragedy was the soviet major general nicholai to kind of he was in charge of the so-called liquidators division which was tasked with containing the radioactive material at the chernobyl site the general told us that disaster will stay with him forever. i spent 3 months at chernobyl the hardest part as far as i remember. it was when we came in by helicopter we hovered above the reactor and it was simply frightening to

view the results of the catastrophe i could not even imagine something like that what kind of a nuclear catastrophe could destroy that giant construction grade of armored concrete about 300000 cubic meters of soil where excavated collected and brought to a special disposal area immediately after that the radiation level in the area decreased a 1000 times that allowed us to tell the soldiers to enter the station and start deactivating the facility i usually give the scientists and others credit for the very important job they did there but ordinary soldiers were the main heroes. radiation sickness for example i could shave and accidentally cut myself and the bleeding would not stop or a small scratch wouldn't heal for weeks it's scary just to think about it my dear wife who was a ph d. took very good care of me while i was taking a ton of pills and i still am in my kitchen i have about 8 different kinds of

medicine i take them 3 times a day them with. the character i really looks like i mean i really like you and your and you know i almost fell in love with him then the division commander assembled his men and this scene was included because i stood in front of the soldiers and said there are men our people are tired of the constant reports about the huge disaster at chernobyl you we have to get rid of the consequences of this catastrophe with all of you our volunteers and if anyone does not want to continue please leave the team on it when you have one minute to make a decision over a word no one will blame you for it because it's your life where you and i am responsible for it or through what a job at the time plus the way some other top stories shaped up in the week just gone thanks for watching here in moscow this sunday is kevin know it and the rest of the team say have a great day. the

was. was was was. was. so you say that brings us the end of the series if we could just let josie marino walk away and say we decided to treat a stone host to a very special farewell party and by guys.

just. so max in our journey from genesis block to the moon we've gone through many things and in 2017 we enter the culmination of the block size war and basically the user activated saw fork will win the day but we also find that initial coin offering jumps on to the scene in 2017 and i'm going to start with the initial coin offering that i see 0 story because this was

a huge story and 2017 more than $5600000000.00 of capital was raised and 2017 according to measure x. from token data team this compares to $1000000000.00 of traditional venture investing in block chain startups in the same time frame and in a mere $240000000.00 raised by token sales in 2016. guys are this is the kaiser report i'm preparing my initial point offering of the i.c.a.o. for the new crypto sensation merchants fischer matic and so many bankers are jumping off buildings and jumping off beers about of the world is being crushed by crypto so americans fisher magic you can fish with the bankers i used to dead big i say you know if it will probably raise $150.00 or $250000000.00 for the station i'm giving you pretty i.c.a.o. coins at it 89 percent discount when you think why 89 percent oh i have to share

some with brock and this is the deal he negotiated with.
