in the local. loop you are. in the stories that shape the russian and chinese president speak out on america's attempt to dominate international trade. and capital one of the biggest events on the business calendar. breaking. new sanctions and recording washington is failing to unite the country against president maduro. just to keep the opposition.

it's one of the press freedom whistleblowers in australia after police raid the country's national broadcaster the disclosure of classified data in the media. and the german serial killer 85 patients called working in the us was given a 2nd life sentence from the police suspect that his final death in 200. there is some they're not taking you through some of the biggest stories covered right here over the past 7 days welcome to the program. the business elite gathered in russia's northern capital on friday they were in some petersburg for the annual international economic forum president putin and china's leader took part in a lengthy q. and a in a packed congress all our correspondent there and r.t. sophie shevardnadze who was the moderator of that session gave us a taste of the main address. but you why wouldn't you need him without any

conditions or. did i refuse i wasn't invited do. we know what kind of negotiate a trump is he's a wonderful businessman a fast tomine ate some existing contract and he stops paying by the rules than there are false negotiations and in the end he gets a deal which is favorable to him it was the same with nafta something similar happened to japan what will happen with you. or what's. yours or maybe i have an answer to this question in my notes. for the. receipt it's good i also don't generally it's good that you hear and asking questions 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 moment i think we're already had one plenary session that was dedicated to russia to play into the american election so i don't think it was worth going into that one more time yet and the time passed and we had 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 balance cooperation and persecute them 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 heating hinting that the. american side starting wars but they wouldn't be playing the americans are a very diplomatic 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 people want to weave 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. they were quite the 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 and see a natural 30 new chairman she has explained the tariff as a fight between globalization and antique replies ation and the question is why does russia stand in the fight economic superiority what you get this ship is 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 but it's clear who they are 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 saying chance we got to the russian sanctions or we got to that point a bit later and the line up of the panel was very and. sting 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 the 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 so their voices do matter if either of them like i point out voted 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 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 in place. 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 the. united states continues to ramp up pressure on president duros government in

venezuela. on thursday it announced new sanctions against a state owned oil company but it seems washington still unsure about whether in fact step down at least already a recording suggests the u.s. secretary of state is finding it difficult to unite the fractured venezuelan opposition into one cohesive force on these kind of morbid explained by calm peo has 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. groups who are still difficult moments early. everybody is going to really listen to. me and to their president of the us will be people who are the right people 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 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 in place or 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 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 venezuela so in the words of john bolton 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 reliable agent of the us in opec to maintain a low oil prices as the u.s. diplomatic cables themselves acknowledge. the german nurse who murdered 85 patients would exclaim in a 2nd life sentence on thursday at earliest said that he was endlessly sorry his

timeline back in 2005 who was caught while tampering with a syringe pump a ministering a cognac medicine without cause this led to a series of investigations he was initially convicted of attempted murder in 2008 and sentenced to just over 70 years in prison but then in 2015 a judge sentenced him to my life for 2 murders and 2 attempted murders auntie's me if an option was out his latest trial. oldenburg festival hall this is where court proceedings had to be held the original cornhole was simply not able to accommodate all those people who wanted to attend and massive trial huge public attention the case raised many questions it gave you on series and one of the biggest questions was what is the exact number of people that mr fargo killed we heard from. many including the main geology of the process is 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 a nickname resuscitate rambo with out 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 becoming spurstow no 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 a pull to their fears they simply decided to get rid of 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 horst mr her go get hired here and he's 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 the reason a complex of reasons behind this terrible situation it's not only the system of hospitals 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 coming up the hit t.v. show chernobyl has renewed people's interest in the world's worst nuclear accident took place more than 30 years ago he spoke to one of the key figures in the clean up operation after that tragedy major general nikolai telecom but hear from him among all stories after the break.

what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to be. to the right to be close it's like them before 3 of them or can't be that. interested always in the waters about how. they should.

welcome back to the weekly concerns of the press freedom of being raised in australia after police raids on a prominent journalist and then on the country's national broadcaster the a.b.c. though the cases are linked police say this week's searches are based on the disclosing of classified information the criminalisation and greg down in national security journalism is spreading like a virus the president is already having effect journalists must unite and remember that courage is also contagious this police raid against our partners at a.b.c. is an attack on press freedom which we the b.b.c. find deeply troubling the australian federal police rates 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 came out more than a year ago with the help of leaks the a.b.c.'s afghan files were revealed in 2017

and exposed possible war crimes by australian special forces in afghanistan based on classified defense documents the home of annica smethurst the political editor of australia's sunday telegraph newspaper was rated in relation to a 2018 story she disclosed a government plan to expand its spying on australian citizens that article relied on secret correspondence between ministries obtained from a whistleblower and an australian radio host revealed that the government's also now investigating how he obtained unauthorized data the boat filled with refugees and tried to reach australia but for them said the focus of the probe isn't him but his source. about an hour after we shared the information we were told that the department of time of his will investigate this disclosure i was told by home affairs that all i'm not the target of this investigation it's about the people who were supposed to keep this stuff confidential last year australia increased the punishment for leaking classified data it's now a crime for any public official to share an authorised information australian free speech activists benoit kamarck thinks it's alarming that the government's more

concerned with leakers them with crimes it's allegedly committed. individuals who are very dedicated as they were personally see them stopping but this is very dangerous thing this generous and said. this is whether this was before last because the genesis question won't necessarily go to jail the sources that they are using people's lives they are very much at risk which is the itch and the arrests of these investigations the particular release of the files has been something you know some of the dissolutions and for all those in the. us trained military to sense the revelation of this spend all 17 to be the greatest sense rather than actually seeing the s.a.'s as that in crimes the issue has been more those revealing that those crimes commit. race based

genocide is how a canadian government report has branded decades of violence against the country's indigenous population the study on missing and murdered indigenous women was released on monday at a ceremony and prime minister just introduction was present accepted mistakes to be made but his failure to use the word genocide from the pm heckled here many decades . indigenous women and girls across canada have disappeared suffered violence or been killed. and our justice system has failed them. this is an uncomfortable day for canada titled reclaiming power a place that purport took more than 2 years to write the inquiry heard more than 2000 witness testimonies and claims the canadian justice system is based on the

values of a settler colonial society failing to include indigenous concepts of justice of the probe states that the deaths or disappearance of thousands of indigenous women has likely gone unrecorded and it admits that no one knows the exact number although some profess to much but the figure at $4000.00 the report includes multiple accounts of victims and their relatives is one of the stories. i was he charlie king and this was literally just a month and i have before my sister loretta was murdered she was stack's in me she was like what are you doing delilah this is not just one operation a woman or girl this is being considered a national epidemic the head of indigenous governance of canada's riots in universities says the state's done nothing to address the problem. there's a whole bunch of really you know problematic criminal activity as regards to indigenous women and girls and it's been unaddressed for all of these

decades until this inquiry seana light on it i am calling on all canadians and in fact others countries around the world to put political pressure on both our federal government and all of our provincial governments to to do something and to actually investigate state actors who are complicit or directly involved in the murders exploitations and disappearances of indigenous women and girls this state has done nothing about it so they've been very complicit in the ongoing sexualized violence and murders of indigenous women and girls but canadians haven't been able to put all of those pieces together until now. final episode of the hit t.v. show chernobyl and on monday the series based on events surrounding the 986 nuclear disaster has revived interest in the tragedy. i'm pleased to report that situation you know state to normal is on foreign.

and every item of uranium is like a bullet. some of them still crying from 50000 bees. the catastrophe happened over 30 years ago and is the largest you can accident in history it's estimated that almost 6 100000 people were affected but up to 4000 could die early as a result radiation levels in the epicenter were massively higher than a lethal dose. the disaster led to massive radiation exposure which was made more widespread by the wind which blew fallout across europe and asia and this is what the town where the reactor exploded looks like today.

one of the key figures in the clean up operation after the tragedy was the soviet major general nicholai taloqan off he was in charge of the so-called liquidators division which was tasked with containing the radioactive material at the chernobyl site and general says the meltdown will stay with him forever. but i spent 3 months the 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 facilities 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 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. the 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 because i stood in front of the soldiers and said men our people are tired of the constant reports about this huge disaster at chernobyl 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 you have one minute to make a decision no one will blame you for it because it's your life and i am responsible for it. incredible stories that's the way clee for this our next we meet people who've spent years behind bars for crimes they didn't commit having been subjected to a controversial technique used to extract confessions. what
