then let's see in the in the pulling. on doesn't. believe. in the stories that shaped the week the russian and chinese president speak out on america's attempt to dominate international. capital one of the biggest business calendar. breaking. with new sanctions of the recording suggests washington's failing to unite the country's opposition against president but. just to keep the opposition has. got a. journalist form of a threat to press freedom and whistleblowers in australia after police raid the

country's national broadcaster for the disclosure of classified data in the media. and a german serial killer who murdered 85 patients while working as a nurse was given a 2nd life sentence on thursday police suspect he may have killed more than 200. others sunday an artsy and that means we're bringing you some of the biggest stories as reported on right here over the past 7 days on all right welcome to the program 1st world leaders and business leaders 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 the packed congress hold our correspondent. was the moderator of that session give us a taste of the main address. why wouldn't you meet him without any conditions.

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. 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 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 because you had many other things to talk about that are very important for this world or the right moment i

think we're already had one plenary session that was dedicated to russia to play into the american elections though i didn'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 in terms of china russia cooperation road palko for aisha 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 and they were sort of hitting hinting at the. american side starting war but they wouldn't be playing the americans are a very diplomatic but both of them pretty much agreed that. they could not be that good. all for all the global economy and free trade with protectionism and

isolationism and if we want to weave together in one world that we 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 cheating now i just want to play you a segment of that discussion when the leaders. they 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 and see a natural 30 through a new chairman she has explained the tariff as a fight between globalization with an antique replies ation and the question is why does moshe stand in the fight for economic superiority 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 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 france 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 the tunnel 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 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 e.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 to 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 representatives give 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 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 them. the united states continues to ramp up pressure on president maduro as government in venezuela on thursday to announce new sanctions against a state owned oil company but it seems washed. still unsure about whether maduro

should in fact step down and the door to a recording suggests the u.s. secretary of state is finding it difficult to unite the fractured venezuelan opposition into one cohesive force is kind of morbid explains 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 lurking under which just to keep the opposition united as a group devilishly difficult the moment it's really. everybody is going to really listen to. me and that president of the us will be people who believe they're 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 my comp a.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 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

you know it 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 the institutional structure that has been built in but as well also 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 you know ally in the region and you know reliable agent of the u.s. in opec to maintain you know low while prices as the u.s. diplomatic cables themselves acknowledge. the german nurse who murdered 85 patients was given a 2nd life sentence on neil's hogle had earlier said he was endlessly sorry his timeline back in 2005 was called while tampering with a syringe pump and administering a cardiac 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 2015 a judge sentenced him to life for 2 murders and 2 attempted murders auntie's more if a motion was at his latest trial. oldenburg festival hall this is where court proceedings had to be held the regional 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. and one of the biggest questions was what is the exact number of people that mr fargo killed we heard from many. 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 gets in everybody's admiration he's calling this 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 praised. 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 das 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 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. pee. well 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 this is i'll tell you coming up ahead t.v. show was for a new people's interest in the world's worst nuclear accident that took place 30 years ago i'll teach folks one of the key figures in the cleanup operation after the tragedy soviet major general nicholai to recount off his story was featured in that series we'll be hearing from him when the week he returns in a couple of minutes. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. thanks guys are survival guide to stay single malt to start at least.

and other cases are linked police say this week searches are based on the disclosing of classified information. the criminalisation and crackdown on national security journalism is spreading like a virus these sun 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 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 came out more than a year ago with the help of leaks the a.b.c.'s afghan files were revealed in 2017 that exposed possible war crimes by australian special forces in afghanistan based on classified defense documents the home of annica smith hurst the political editor

of australia's sunday telegraph was rated in relation to a 2800 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 has revealed that how the government was now also investigating how he obtained authorized data that boat filled with refugees had tried to reach australia before 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 home of his 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 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 activist benoit count mark thinks it's alarming that the government is more concerned with leakers than it is with crimes its allegedly committed. individuals

who are very dedicated to their work best at age not see them stopping but this is very dangerous thing this generous watson said. this is whether this will soon be called las vegas the genesis question won't necessarily get to share it with the sources that they are using incidents of people's lives that they are very much at risk which is the agenda behind these arrests of these investigations the secular release of the files and has been something you know some of the dissolution saying for all those in the. district in a military sense the revelation of this affair also seemed to be that race fests rather than actually saying the s.a.'s is missing frying it's the issue that has been more than those revealing of the scribes in this. 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. for the. region to report that the situation is you know is stable or not who is on fire. and every item of uranium is like a bullet. some of them will not stop crying 450000. the catastrophe happened over 30 years ago it is the largest nuclear accident in history it's estimate that almost 600000 people were affected and up to 4000 could die early as a result radiation levels in the epicenter were massively higher than a lethal dose the disaster lead to massive radiation exposure which was made more widespread by the wind which blew for out across europe in asia and this is what the town with a reactor exploded looks like today. one

of the key figures in the cleanup operation after the tragedy in a story featured in the h.b.o. series was the soviet major general nicholai terra cotta 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 says the meltdown will stay with him forever. i spent 3 months at

chernobyl the hardest part as far as i remember 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 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 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 over no one will blame you for it because it's your life and i am responsible for it. incredible story that's the weekend from now we're heading into
