seems wrong. to me you believe. you can stick to it and it. equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. in the stories that shaped the week here on our to international the russian and chinese president speak out on america's attempt to dominate international trade if they were in russia's northern capital st petersburg for one of the biggest events on the business calendar. breaking cover while the u.s. hits venezuela with new sanctions alito audio recording suggests washington is failing to unite the country's opposition against president bush during. the underwear just to keep the opposition united as proof. that we've got

a few good. journalists warn of a threat to press freedom in australia after police raid the country's national broadcaster following 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 but police suspect he may have killed hundreds more . are broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is r.t. international as we recap the week's top stories with our weekly program have you with us. our business leaders and politicians from around the world gathered in st petersburg for the annual economic forum this week president putin and china's xi jinping took center stage at the conference on friday putting on

a show of unity and back to back speeches and offering their thoughts on trade relations with the united states or to sophie shevardnadze moderated their q. and a session she joined our correspondent illiad to trying to discuss violence. but why wouldn't you need him without any conditions. that i refuse i wasn't invited. we know what kind of negotiated trump he's a wonderful businessman. tomine ate some existing 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 something similar happened to japan what will happen with you. or. maybe i have announced 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 russian heavily 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 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 in terms of china russia cooperation road palko proration persecute them presidency they were post their diplomatic you know my question state 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 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 global world the global economy and free trade with protection is then isolationism and people want to leave together. 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 metaphorical in the way he answered sophie's question let's take a listen. 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 that if we were a new chairman she has explained the tariff as

a fight between globalization and within. limits and the question is why does moshe stand and 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 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 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 longer stand 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 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 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 u. because the sanctions they're actually reenacted the latter so their voices do matter if either of them i point out voted against the sanctions that the sanctions will be off so that was a very important point to 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're 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 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.

there is some relief for the people of venezuela as the crisis there continues to drag on thousands have crossed into neighboring colombia to receive humanitarian aid with the border now reopened after being closed for 4 months the colombian authorities say more than 30000 people moved across the border it was closed back in february by venezuelan president nicolas maduro as opposition leader prepared to allow u.s. back to humanitarian aid into the country meanwhile washington's standoff with caracas is not 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 maduro a leaked audio recording suggests the u.s. secretary of state is finding it difficult to unite the fractured venezuelan opposition into a cohesive force and he's come up in

a small. fight 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 their oh if his regime change efforts are successful. just to keep the opposition. groups devilishly difficult moments really. everybody's going to be the . president of the. people. they're the rightful heir to. 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 aoe 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 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 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. intervening in libya but who needs play . 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 venezuela so in the words of john bolton that to open up venezuela's oil sector to us and you know to really were charged as well to the pre 1900 that status quo where it was a reliable you know ally in the region and you know reliable agent of the u.s. and opec to maintain you know low oil prices as u.s. diplomatic cables themselves acknowledge the. concerns over press freedom have reverberated across australia following a series of police raids the 1st on a prominent journalist and then on the country's national broadcaster a.b.c. though the cases are not linked to police say this week's searches are all based on the disclosure of classified information the criminalisation and greg down in national security journalism is spreading like a virus these sun precedent is already having effect journalists must unite and

remember that car itch is also contagious this police raid against an apartment is at a.b.c. as 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 were released over a year ago with the help of the league's a.b.c.'s afghan files were revealed in 2017 and expose possible war crimes by australian special forces in afghanistan based on classified to defense documents while the home of smethurst the political editor of australia's sunday telegraph was rated in relation for a story from 2018 she disclosed a government plan to expand its spying on australian citizens that article relied

on secret correspondence between ministries obtained from a whistle blower. and an australian radio host revealed that the government is now also investigating how he obtained authorized an authorized to data that boats filled with refugees trying to reach australia been for them said the focus of the probe is not on him but rather his source. about an hour after we shared the information we were told that the department of hama pays will investigate this disclosure i was told by high buffet's that all i'm not the target of this investigation it's about the people who were supposed to keep this stuff confidential i last year australia wide and it's go parading media organizations related to leaks of classified data and australian free speech activist we spoke to thinks it is more alarming that the government is targeting those behind the leaks instead of those allegedly committing the crimes. scientific tools are very dedicated to their work message not see them stopping but this is very dangerous

and this generous and said. this is whether this was before lots this the genocide question won't necessarily go to jail the sources that they are have you saying people's lives they are very much at risk which is the age and these arrests of these investigations the particular release of the files has been something you know some of the dissolution and for those in the. history of the military the sense the the press relations this and also to be this race fence rather than actually seen it on the s.a.t.'s is sitting franks the issue and hester no more than those for v.-day for those crimes committed to generally. kazakhstan is getting its 1st new president in decades we report on sunday's landmark election after a short break that was. so

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in. spearing dramatic development the only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. you know world of big partisan. lot and conspiracies 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 smart we need to stop slamming the door. 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks. angry has long positioned itself as a sovereign player within the e.u. it can stand up to brussels then 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. back this is the weekly on r.t. international now voters in kazakhstan have cast their ballots in an election that will produce of the country's 1st new leader in 3 decades the exit polls are

indicating that the nation's interim president has a considerable lead with details here stuff. 2 independent pollsters have given their prognosis have given their forecast as to who's going to be the next president of kazakstan and well both of them give an overwhelming lead to the all time favorite of the race assumes that amount to ca of the 2 pollsters give them just about a 70 percent lead so while it does look like a landslide but will just to give you a an idea as to who this person is well he's the appointee in the protege of the previous president of kazakhstan. and it does seem that a lot of people that the majority of kazakhs they put their trust in the in this candidate are wrong because our strong there are so many challenges to situation the wrong the war is becoming increasingly too mild heroes so we believe they're hearing coinstar and we need to avoid briefs and pitfalls we need to meet our

challenges come from outside or uniform in sorry but any way we are believe they're due to the we work with them or the people or cover star will be successful parents we will all account now just to give you an idea as to how big of a deal this election for the people of kazakstan is. by it has been the president of this country since the fall of the bewas aside yeah it's been that long and this is the 1st election he hasn't taken part in so really the 1st new face at the helm of this country in decades and now it's really the numbers as to how many people showed up to cast their ballots they speak for themselves it's are they the the number of the the show the people who have chosen to spend their time and to cast their ballots has been that over 77 percent and it amounts to over 12000000 of

people hate people here. a german nurse who murdered 85 patients was given a set. that life sentence on thursday neil's hogle said earlier that he was endlessly sorry back in 2005 hope was caught tampering with a syringe pomp and administrative cardiac medicine without cause that led to a series of investigations and 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 notion of 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 the 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 a 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 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 horst 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. successive canadian governments have been responsible for a race of basted genocide against the country's indigenous peoples this according to a long awaited official inquiry which concluded on monday the findings of the investigation into the murders and disappearances of the aboriginal women were made public at a ceremony attended by prime minister justin trudeau and while he conceded that many mistakes have been made his initial reluctance to use the word genocide caused anger in the audience. here many decades. indigenous women and girls across

canada have disappeared suffered violence or been killed. and our justice system has failed them was. this is an uncomfortable day for canada. now the report which is entitled reclaiming power and place took more than 2 years to write the inquiry heard from more than 200 witness testimonies and says that the abuse of indigenous peoples stems directly from canada's clone ial past now it also argues that they struggle to find legal redress due to difficulties navigating the criminal justice system let's take a look the report states that the disappearances and deaths of thousands of indigenous women have likely gone on record and some estimates put the number of victims at over 4000 for the period between 198-2012 the

1200 page document includes numerous statements by victims and their relatives here is just one of those accounts. 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 operation 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 is shot 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 involve. 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 have been able to put all of those pieces together until now. i'll take a swing around the globe to look at some other stories making headlines over the weekend hundreds of thousands attended demonstrations in hong kong on sunday to voice their anger over a proposed extradition wall the draft bill would allow fugitives to be sent to other jurisdictions including mainland china protesters carried signs calling for the resignation of the city's chief executive kerry lamb who has been a driving force behind the bill hundreds of riot officers sealed off hong kong's legislative council which is taking up to be a. one woman is reported dead in a crane collapse in dallas texas on sunday local fire rescue says several people
