you know with. the source that showed the world leaders and business elite descended on russia's northern capital simply disappeared for a 3 day international economic forum the russian and chinese presidents laid out their hard stance on america's trade war. breaking cover while the u.s. has spent his way with new sanctions the league told the recording suggest washington's failing to unite the country's opposition against president woodrow. blunder was just to keep the opposition you've. got to keep the koran so i want to see. this one of

a threat to press freedom and whistleblowers in the straight after police raided the country's national broadcaster after the disclosure of classified information to the media. and to a serial killer who murdered 85 patients while serving as a nurse was given a 2nd life sentence on the 1st of it police suspect that his final death toll could more than 200. good morning welcome to the weekly around of the big stories of the last 7 days as reported by us here at international moscow when i was kevin ollie 1st and world leaders and business elite gathered in russia's northern capital some petersburg on friday they were there for the annual international economic forum president putin and chinese leader took part in a lengthy q. and a in the congress all their correspondent at the forum in the patrol and also at the sophie shevardnadze was the moderator at the event give us

a taste of the main address. but you why wouldn't you meet him without any conditions or you did i refuse i wasn't invited to some time when i know what kind of negotiate a trump is he's a wonderful businessman at 1st he terminates inexistent contract rights and then he stops playing by the rules and then there are forced negotiations and in the end he gets a deal which is favorable to him that it was the same nafta something similar happened to japan what will happen was you. maybe i have an answer to this question in my notes. but. what you see is good i ask that generally it's good that you hear and asking questions for years now i was here last year the year before that and this event

was always moderated by western journalists this time though when it was you know questions about russian meddling or russian interference but you had many other things to talk about that are very important for this world where the right holiday i think we're already had one plenary session that was dedicated to russia to play into the american elections though i don't think it was worth going into that one more time yet and the time passed and we have the reports it was obvious that there's nothing 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 palko for a shy person and presidency they were post their diplomatic you know my question today what answer me straight forwardly. 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 they were serving hitting hinting that. american site starting

for. wouldn't it be plain the americans are a very tiny that but both of them pretty much agree that. they could not be that global war on the global economy and free trade with protectionism and isolationism and if you want to leave together in one world that would better do it together you were talking about trade wars that was of course the number one topic because you were sitting right next to vladimir putin but chinese leader. now i just want to play you a segment of that discussion when the leaders. were quite metaphorical in the way the answer to 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 war and swore 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've got to watch and 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 title 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 as they were saying that in many cases. even though they support the common position of the european union. in many cases they're against the anti-abortion 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 u. because the sanctions they're actually reenacted the latter since their voices do

matter if either of them like i pointed out voted against the sanctions that the sanctions will be 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 you european represent an excuse and i mean we can understand that 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 these sanctions placed. in 5 minutes are looking for ways to trade somehow with russia and this is devil 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.

elsewhere in the news that week. just going to united states continue to ramp up pressure on president duros government of venezuela on thursday demands new sanctions against the state owned oil company there but it seems washington is still unsure rather about whether or not madeira should step down because a leaked audio recording suggested the u.s. secretary of state is funny it difficult to unite the fractured venezuelan opposition right now into one cohesive force. as across that story mike 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 under which just to keep the opposition united as difficult momentarily. everybody is going to really listen to. me president of the us will be people who are the rightful here if you're going through. 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 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 when she 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 he 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 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 for those who are in the words of john bolton that to open up venezuela's busy oil sector to us and you know to really return as well to the pre 999 status quo where it was a reliable ally in the region and you know a reliable agent of the us in opec to maintain a low oil prices as the u.s. diplomatic cables themselves acknowledge. a german sumo to 85 patients

was given a 2nd life sentence the. earliest said he was and loosely story this is timeline back in 2005 hogle was cool with a syringe pump and administering a car the medicine without cause that led to a series of investigations he was initially convicted of attempted murder in 2008 and sentenced to just over 7 years in prison then the 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 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 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 fletcher nickname resuscitate rammed by without of a 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 through to the nurse before they gave him a very good recrimination letter that he would hear it to this hospital in the neighboring town of delman horace to mr her go get hired here and. his 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 it's exactly 915 this sunday morning here in moscow revere watch around the world however thanks for watching us this hour coming up did you see that hit t.v. show chernobyl will it renew people's interest the world's worst nuclear accident over 30 years ago certainly and coming up to speak to one of the key figures in the clean up operation after that tried to solve it major general nick like a can of. agree

has long positioned itself as a sovereign player within the e.u. it can stand up to brussels. when it comes to its own national interests but when it comes to dealing with the trumpet ministration is the government just as ready to put hungary 1st.

morning concerns of a press freedom of being raised in australia after police raids on a prominent journalist and then on the country's national broadcaster the australian broadcasting corporation a.b.c. though the cases are not linked to police say the search is this week are based on the disclosing of classified information. the criminalisation and crackdown on national security journalism is spreading like a virus these sanch president is already having effect journalists must unite and remember that courage is also contagious this police raid against our partners at a.b.c. is an attack on press freedom which we b.b.c. find deeply troubling the australian federal police rate race serious concerns

about freedom of the press they could have a chilling in fact on the right of journalists to carry out their chops the scene might be expected in an authoritarian country but not in a democracy both stories were released over a year ago with the help of leaks the the a.b.c.'s afghan files were revealed in 2017 and exposed possible war crimes by australian special forces in afghanistan based on classified defense documents then the home of. the political editor of australia sunday telegraph was rated in relation to a $2800.00 story she disclosed a government plan to expand its spying on the straightly and citizens but article relied on secret correspondence between ministries of tape from a whistleblower and then the story and radio host revealed that the government is now also investigating how he obtained unauthorized data that boats filled with refugees try to reach australia but for them said in fact the focus of the probe is not on him it's only source about an hour after we shared the information we were

told that the department of time appears 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 astray increase the punishment for leaking classified data is not a crime for any public official to share an authorized information probably just as scott morrison defended the work the raid saying there are laws in place protecting australia's national security but australian free speech activists but i can't think it's alarming that the government is more concerned with leakers than with crimes it's allegedly committed. and eventually some very dedicated staff work best engine all see them stopping but this is very dangerous saying this just laughed and said. this is whether this will sweep because las vegas the genesis question won't necessarily get to share it with the sources that they i've used seeing people's lives that they are very much at risk which is the agenda and the

arrests of these investigations the particular release of the files in house and something you know some of the dissolution sang for all those in the. street in a military sense the revelation of this spend also seemed to be that race fence rather than actually seeing the s.a.'s as anything frying it's the issue has been more revealing of those crimes committed. did you see in the final episode of the hit t.v. show chernobyl had monday the series based on the events surrounding the awful month and if you think need to disasters revive interest in the tragedy. i'm pleased to report that the situation is you know will be stable to not move this on fine. and every item of uranium is like a bullet. some of them will not stop firing from 50000.

chilling drama as it will the catastrophe itself over 30 years ago now is the largest nuclear accident in history it's estimated that almost 600000 people were affected on that up to 4000 could die early as a result radiation levels at the epicenter of all that were massively higher than a lethal dose and this is what the town where that reactor exploded looks like today.

the disaster led 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 solve it major general nicholas account off 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 that is going to 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 made of armored

concrete about 300000 cubic meters of soil were 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 yes 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 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. character really looks like i mean

i really like you know i almost fell in love with him then the division commander assembled his men and this scene was included i stood in front of the soldiers and said the men our people are tired of the constant reports about the huge disaster at your nobody we have to get rid of the consequences of this catastrophe all of you are volunteers and if anyone does not want to continue please leave the team with you have one minute to make a decision over a word no one will blame you for it because it's your life and i am responsible for it. recalling the horrors from melissa way some of the top stories shaped up in the week just gone thanks ever so much for watching it in moscow this sunday's cover though in the rest of the teams they have a great rest of the week at. you

know world of big partners a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bats and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. nobody could see coming that false confessions would be that prevalent in the spot laced up wrongful conviction. and any interrogation out there what you'll see is a threat promise threat promise threat lie a lie a lie the process of interrogation is designed to put people in just that frame of mind make the most comfortable make them want to get out and don't take no for an answer don't accept their denials she said if i would. send

a statement that i would be home by that time the next day there's a culture on accountability and police officers know that they can engage in misconduct that has nothing to do with solving their crime. or. you. know welcome to well it's a part of hungary has long positioned itself as an independent player within the

european union capable of putting its foot down and then standing up to brussels when it comes to poor national interests but when dealing with the trump administration is the organ government equally forthcoming in putting hungry 1st to discuss that i'm now joined by the country's foreign affairs minister. this it's always a pleasure seeing you in russia thank you for your time and your help at the river now judging from your recent interviews one of the most popular words in your vocabulary is hypocrisy involved with almost every time you're asked about hungary's relations with china with russia with the e.u. itself is he really so prevalent in your line of work. well actually if you look at european politics recently especially during the campaign of the european parliament elections you will see a big big portion of hypocrisy political correctness and the fortunes of double standards and this specially when it comes to cooperation with china when it comes

to cooperation with russia and when it comes to internal issues of the european union as well sometimes you do have the feeling that some smaller member states. the same things some of that was raised in this this is really something that we have to change that's very vocal and it comes to debate about the future of the union we want to take part in these debates in very actively. again now the last time i heard you mention that where it was in relation to. central and eastern european countries willingness to do business with china and you made the point that bigger countries like germany and france are far ahead in the game and yet for some reason they seem to be rather displeased about other countries willing to catch up how do you interpret that kind of criticism is a competition is it an effort to control is it something else. making business with china is pretty beneficial for everyone because the chinese companies are getting

stronger and stronger. chinese investors. are the. countries that the logical upgrading no question about it i mean the old. laws from west to east looking for cheap labor knowledge base all of the changes regarding global economy is dictated by eastern companies as well at least as much as by western companies and if you look at the figures you know figures they are not lying especially when it comes to trade and economy the 11. countries have a share. 11 countries and 9.9 percent when it comes to. the 5 countries making the biggest business for china are of course of western european countries by germany which we have no problem i mean we why why do you

think they have a problem. they always criticize us for business just for the art of criticism the pressure off. chinese investors in our countries but you know what i'm telling you is that there are 16 months by chinese companies in hungary 1116. so the americans. there is in hungary immediately became chinese investments so what we can do for. no house so the thing is that we are always criticised. on the raises the same questions on the german chancellor and the french president the chinese leadership and so. you know. how do you explain that is the. difference here is different sets of rules for different. number one this is double standards and number 2 that does.
