wouldn't you need him without any conditions or. did i refuse i wasn't invited to come with i'm going to go we know what kind of negotiate a trump is he's a wonderful businessman or a fast tom unaids who exist in contract and he stops playing by the rules then there are false negotiations and in the end he gets a deal which is favorable to him it was the same with nafta or something similar happened to japan what will happen with you. know what. 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 but 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 the russian heavily 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 asia 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 war 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 for 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 and c. of us natural 30 new chairman she has explained the tariff as a fight between globalization with replies ation and the question is why does russia stand in the fight for 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 and 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 was 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 sanctions are we got to that point a bit later and the line up of the panel was very. this thing 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 end proportion 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 pointed out voted against the sanctions that the

sanctions would be 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. actually sat with some relief for the citizens of those whalers the crisis that

continues to draw. gone thousands have crossed into neighboring colombia to receive humanitarian aid at the border and now reopened for months on shutdown the colombian authorities say more than $30000.00 people moved across the border it was closed back in february by the venezuelan president nicolas maduro opposition leader why dope prepared to allow us back to humanitarian aid into the country meanwhile washington standoff with caracas isn't letting up new sanctions were slapped on one of venezuela's state owned oil companies on thursday but it seems the u.s. is still unsure about the future of president leaked audio recording suggests the us secretary of state is finding it difficult to unite the fractured venezuelan opposition into one cohesive force is credible but 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. just to keep the opposition as

difficult moments. everybody is going to. be president of the us will be people who are the rightful 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. 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 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 but you 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 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 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 oil sector to us and you know to really return but as well to the free 999 status quo where it was

a reliable ally in the region and you know a reliable agent of the u.s. in opec to maintain you know low oil prices as the u.s. diplomatic cables themselves acknowledge. concerns of a press freedom of reverberate across australia following a series of police raids the 1st on a prominent journalist and then on the country's national broadcaster the a.b.c. so the cases are police say this week search is a based on the disclosure of classified information the criminalization and crackdown on national security journalism is spreading like a virus these sons precedent is already happening in fact 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 at 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 and exposed possible war crimes by australian special forces in afghanistan or 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 story from 2018 he 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 is now also investigating how he obtained an authorised data the boat filled with refugees and trying to reach australia then 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 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 steer australia wide and its scope for raiding media organizations concerning leaks of classified data and australian free speech activists we spoke to thinks it's more alarming that the government's targeting those behind the links instead of those allegedly committing crime. individuals who are very dedicated to their work versus the engine from stopping that this is very dangerous thing this journalist said about this as whether this was or was this the genesis question won't necessarily get shared with the sources that they are using equals lie and that they are very much at risk which is the age and the arrests of these investigations the particular release of the files has been something you know some of the distributions and for all those in

the. street in a military sense the revelation this also seemed to be the british sense rather than actually saying. the s.e.'s of it in science. and more. of those crimes and it. generally developments this weekend on the way kazakstan is getting its 1st new president in decades we report on sunday's landmark election after the break.

agree has long positioned itself as a sovereign player within the e.u. it can stand up to brussels put its foot down 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.

come back voting is over and what is an historic day in the central asian nation of kazakstan the election there is guaranteed to vote in a new leader for the 1st time since the breakup of the soviet. it goes down of reports from the cows at capitol. everyone who wanted to have there is say here in kazakhstan has had one we do not have the official results as to who might be the victor from what we have had from what we have seen at the polling stations the race might not be that decided it could be a bit of a tight one because we do have a favorite in this race because since that amount the chi of these sort of an appointee of the previous president nursultan nazarbayev but he could be in the lead with just about 55 percent now this is these are the figures we're getting from our sources at the polling stations and he's closest rival could be just behind him with about 30 percent 30 to 35 percent now these figures can change in

the next 3 hours drastically so do stand by for those but as consumers are not the kind of voted right after that i had a chance to ask him a question as to how he envisions the future of kazakstan and here is what he told me the wrong kazakhstan there are so many challenges. to situation there on the war use becoming increasingly tumultuous so we believe that here in coinstar and we need to avoid reduce and pitfalls we need to meet our challenges that come from outside or uniform in sorry but any way you believe they're due to the we work with almost the people of color star and will be successful apparently we will all account just for your understanding as to how big of a deal this is for the people here this is the 1st election the 1st presidential election in decades without the previous president of kazakstan new shilton a not a bias in the race he has not taken part he has not taken part he has not

participated in this election since the fall of the soviet union we do know that about 77 percent. the populations that are allowed to cost the votes in the elections have turned out at the poorly polling stations and this amount this amounts to about $12000000.00 people but do stand by with me and i mean it is raining here but i will stand by and bring you all the latest as to who wins this election. the german nurse who murdered 85 patients was given a 2nd life sentence on thursday. earlier said he was and leslie story back in 2005 hogle 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 in 2015 a judge sentenced him to

life for 2 murders and 2 attempted murders maria phenomena was at his latest trial . oldenburg festival hall this is where court proceedings had to be held the original 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 cers 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 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 arrays so dander 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. nationally revive the patient get in everybody's admiration he's calling us at the clinic or so impressed with his skills that they even gave him a flattering nickname resuscitation rambo without ever knowing that the person they praised so march was in most of the cases behind the patients complications in the 1st place not all of mr her goals victims were able to survive and 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 who joined the team but instead of investigating the cases or reporting their fears they simply decided to get rid of 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 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 seen through problems the perpetrator who's completely different feelings and empathy and then we have a culture of looking away if people had paid more attention to the information to do so then things would have been different. successive canadian governments carried out a race based genocide against the country's indigenous people according to

a long awaited official inquiry which concluded on monday the findings of the investigation into the murders and disappearances of aboriginal women were made public at a ceremony attended by prime minister just. while he conceded the many mistakes of be made his initial reluctance to use the word genocide caused anger in the audience. he really needed kids. indigenous women and girls across canada have disappeared suffered violence or been killed. and our justice system has failed them was. the this is an uncomfortable day for canada. the report which is entitled reclaiming power in place took more than 2 years to write the inquiry had more than 2000 witness testimonies and says that the abuse of indigenous peoples stems directly from canada as colonial past now it also argues that they struggle

to find a legal redress due to difficulties in navigating the criminal justice system the report states that the disappearances and deaths of thousands of indigenous women have likely gone on recorded some estimates put the number of victims at over 4000 for the period between 180-2012 the 1200 page documents includes numerous accounts of victims and their relatives is just one of the stories. i was hitchhiking 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 abrasion a woman or girl this is being considered a national epidemic 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 on a light on it i am calling on all canadians and incite 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. the 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 she needn't haven't been able to put all of those pieces together until now. for me you know no new will be here with your next weekly and about 35 minutes from now up next i would offer the planets know the most point for an experimental revival of a particularly about a mission. what
