world leaders are touching down in the. for one of the most important gatherings in recent years most of the real business. world presidents. are expected. it comes as the u.s. threatens china with more. american farmers. american farmer the casualties in this trade war i think. one of the casualties they are the trade issue of. iran's foreign minister accused. in. sorting through the politics threads.

are challenging traditional view. we put the issue up for debate. a lot of women it has been their petition and their desire to change within their country to be on the commercial simply gives them a platform to add enhance their point that they already think they're putting pakistani women at risk with their commercial and they're a liberal american agenda. 247 news line from moscow if it's affecting the world we're covering it this is our t international. world leaders are arriving in the japanese city of for one of them. g.

20 gatherings in recent years a lot of interest particularly on what will happen on the sidelines of the event president putin are expected to meet there on a partly vote sit down between the 2 leaders will be open to everyone who reports the u.s. president donald trump made it to japan quicker than his russian counterpart vladimir putin not that it was a race but still the u.s. president's plane touched down at the airport in osaka just before sunset and i'll tell you what the american leader had something to say about the talks even before he left america even before he boarded air force one i'll have a very good conversation with a what i said it is none of your business there's a possibility i'm meeting with russia i'm meeting with john i'm meeting with many countries were meeting with many countries now just compare that to donald trump's words 7 months ago compare that to what he said right before he headed to argentina

which hosted the g. 20 in 2018. based on the fact that the ships and sailors have not been returned to ukraine from russia are have decided it would be best for all parties concerned to cancel my previously should you are meeting in argentina with president vladimir putin that was mr trump referring to the current strait incident last year when ukrainian vessels were trying to sail through the straits between crimea and mainland russia but in any case how was that for a change in tone last year it was widely thought that president trump chose not to sit down with president putin because he was allegedly fearing a backlash back home from the media and from quite a few politicians and there is barely any doubts that they would have destroyed him

otherwise for what they call not being able to stand up to everything that the kremlin was up to well some things definitely changed this year the confirmation but the whole get together will happen from both the white house and the kremlin all the came a couple of days ago and we heard from both administrations that the leaders will discuss the usual iran syria ukraine north korea and venezuela and let's hope that nothing will change at the very last moment besides as i can tell you that i've had a chance to talk to one of the members of the russian delegation earlier on thursday she was physically present and the room where the talks are going to happen it's a rather small room with plain white walls the only decorations there will be the flags that's of course a tradition and also the logo of the summit so nothing lavish there at all so hard

that around 20 journalists will be let in. side to hear the 1st minute or 2 of these discussions so at least in this short period of time. being someone's business. what mr trump thinks. well another element to the summit likely to hold a lot of the spotlight the spiraling trade war between washington and beijing donald trump stretton to increase levies on china if the talks at the g 20 don't yield results. so they want to make you feel they want to make you feel more than i do let me put it back ok they want to make a deal i've only done phase one phase one is 25 percent or 250000000000 i haven't done phase 2 yet now phase 2 does it have to be 25 percent it could be 10 percent which people can absolutely handle so what we do know is that the u.s. has already imposed $200000000000.00 worth of chinese imports over what it sees on

the fur trade practices beijing retaliated by slumping its own hundreds of american agriculture products the u.s. is out of wedlock birth the cost of the ongoing disputes but a scale up and talks us through it's in fact american farmers who are coming all for. one section of the u.s. economy is certainly on edge and that is the agricultural sector farmers have long been upheld as almost sacred in americana from the writings of thomas jefferson idealizing the yeoman to the iconic speech of paul harvey delivered in 1978 and on the age they got knocked down on his planet paradise and said i need a caretaker so god made a farmer god sent i need somebody with me to get up before dawn milk cows were told to go in the fields milk cows again each summer then go to town and stay past midnight at a meeting of the school board so god made a farmer now you would think that farmers would be

a central focus of drums promise to make america great again after all it was the agricultural states like iowa wisconsin and minnesota where trump won big however at this point as the trade war with china continues farmers aren't winning they're hurting bad. farmer. almost trade war i think they are one of the casualties they are the trade disruption yes but trump says the farmers should just take it after all it's for their own good in the long term and we're going to help out our farmers we will ensure that our farmers get the relief they need and very very quickly. it's a good time to be a farmer this claim doesn't match the actual numbers look at soybeans corn and wheat production at this point the midwestern heartland of the united states is already suffering from d.m. dust realisation and now it's seeing its agricultural base plummet income of american farmers has dropped to half of what it was in 2013 and the rate of debt of

farmers has reached $427000000000.00 the highest it's been since the farm crisis of the 1980 s. farmers are also defaulting on their loans left and right the highest rate that it has been in 7 years and 3 months a lot of us were forced to take loans to keep our businesses afloat but yet some businesses were so far and the banks wouldn't give them their operating loans for the your prices for greens and stuff of gun violence and if we can't leave we're unable to pay most of our bills and get the banks paid off to get our loans back in check with the banks that they don't threaten to shut us down their moods a nigger culture a community very stressful it's theirs angers everything else our planting window this year has been so long from the wet spring that we've had half the farmers don't even have all their crops they need to feed their animals to make the livelihood this year in the growing it's very stressful and very irritating now farmers received a $16000000000.00 subsidy in the hopes of making up for what they cannot sell to

china but it was only a drop in the bucket the bread basket at the center of the american economy seems to now be on the chopping block as trump plays his art of the deal game with the 2nd largest economy on earth a lot of voices have to be asking how much longer. r.t. new york. yes the g 20 summit in japan will be closed by tensions in the persian gulf i think it's safe to assume on wed and state iran's foreign minister criticized donald trump's threats to destroy the nation saying the statements were illegal under international law. president trump should remember that if you don't do it in the 18th century you do it is a united nations road to a threat of force is either you go. well when asked about the possibility of a war with iran boasted it would be a quicker for but i'm glad that he doesn't want something should happen where diverge from position it wouldn't last very long i can tell you that it would not last very long and i'm not talking boots on the ground i'm not talking we're going

to send a 1000000 soldiers it but i'm just saying if something would happen wouldn't last very long also this week he threatened around with a blister ration if tehran attacks quote anything american the u.s. secretary of state might pompei it was of the view that america has done everything it can to deescalate tensions with the islamic republic. america's done everything it can to deescalate if there is conflict if there is war if there is a kinetic activity it will be because the iranians made that choice america's campaign against iran into its crippling sanctions the deployment of additional troops a month through resources to the middle east the president off a rock is the latest high level figure in the region to speak out on the scenario he warns that he will love a lot the u.s. to use his country to launch any kind of military action against iran. the american

troops the coalition troops in iraq again at the invitation of the iraqi government for the specific exclusive mission of fightin isis we do not want our territory to be a staging post for any hostile action against any of our neighbors including iran. tensions escalated between tehran and washington when the us abandoned a 2015 hard fought nuclear deal last year and here's the view of one seasoned journalist the pressure or the approach that the americans or their allies have had toward iran has impact that this behavior iran now we are in this collection more than the region as a result of the united states withdrawal from the nuclear deal and then followed by maximum pressure against iran on the one side we're seeing the americans talking about negotiation on the other hand they're using military threats as well as economic war against a country this shows inconsistency as well as i think ambiguity in their policies

because i think donald trump is enjoying advisors who have conflict viewpoints towards iran and other international issues and this has caused this broad chaos to the white house in relation and is of iran the solution in the region needs cooperation and talks and diplomacy between different sides in the region this is the argument of iran the. langar is bubbling among religious conservatives in pakistan over a washing powder that promotes gender equality. well in response there is

a campaign being drummed up on twitter in pakistan right now urging people not to buy the turgeon which by the way is owned by consumer goods giant procter and gamble boycotts burial where muslim and we love our culture or religion and our rituals the government should take strict action against ariel brand i miss my request to all my dear pakistanis that please boycott ariel the soonest possible because religion comes 1st and this is our responsibility to protect our religion boycotts ariel prime minister of pakistan we want ariel cloth washing detergents banned in pakistan immediately for driving and spreading anti islamic campaigns through media. we took the chance to ask a number of experts whether the detergent was right to push the boundaries of social norms in pakistan. i don't think it's a big us companies job to insert themselves into pakistani culture if it was women speaking up against their own culture that would be one thing but i feel that it's very wrong for a western company to come in and insert themselves in

a culture that maybe isn't adapted the same way that american culture has in a lot of these women it has been their position and their desire to see a change within their country their desire has been for women to have more rights to you know education to financial stability financial empowerment that's come from within the culture so for these women to be on the commercial simply gives them a platform to add enhanced their voice that they've already been using this kirshner may set back that agenda this commercial may set back that initiative for these women this commercial may create children are you married at the age of wiki a gallon can it be i understand how much how we're not sure brady and i. didn't have marilyn company in jail getting them said are willing to you know why why you came saying how i see any women i think they're really pushing the envelope when

they're dealing with sharia law and just like i don't want sharia law to come here to one merica and take over my western american values i don't necessarily think i think it's very confrontational to go into a country that does have shari'a and insert western values there has never in the history i'm just curious if you're going to acknowledge the value type of knowledge that without women in america who are willing to speak up you're not going to acknowledge if we were in america in the 1928 it were not about women sitting up it was not america up against not america if we were in america at its peak you would tell that it is not a marilyn to speak up against play a very big. they would put people at risk of being lifted or companies have challenged other times overlooked staunchly conservative values in other countries as well in their campaigns coca-cola came under fire for a video showing a woman here driving in saudi arabia critics the scribe of the smoothing over the oppression women face in the muslim nation but advertising experts leslie how i'm

saying is it simply the nature of the industry. brands need to find a way to through the muscle humiliation. by one way of doing that is to be controversial and that means not objective if they don't get through a bit of impact they can succeed in getting consumers to choice and. they will offend a number of people going doing so very attractive in the group that's one of the. potential increase in sales which. when you get down to it then runs on the attributes why the exits they have to make profits and how to reach new consumers. and that's what we're doing very very. so-called trump is hitting the media after 2 years of media hype top news executive said myth that trump 13 is very real and interest in political coverage across the board is in fact done

r.t.u. senior correspondent herat does the of delves into why the president's star allure is seemingly fading. for 2 years trump was the gift that kept on giving every ridiculous tweet absurd comment a shocking revelation milked for all it was worth but all good things come to an end and people are getting bored digital demand for trim related content has dropped 29 percent between the 1st 6 months of the trump presidency and the most recent 6 months from wasn't a craze he was and is the bread and butter for an entire industry the media all the ratings are up it means you can do without donald trump you would be lost with donald trump when he says oh no that's not true c n n newsroom this would be in the toilet with you guys. with a tramp did you date because you brits and you hate him but i think you love him

no one in this room ones to admit is that trump has helped all of you if only it were that simple the east was a merciless and unforgiving rat race every page view every t.v. rating point had to be 4 to over pundit versus pundit and media arms race began to really win the audiences with any piece of trump trivia and the crazier the more absurd it was the more people would click you heard the juiciest part of the trunk cohen tape they don't have any every day just see the big story about trump being an agent of the russian government over the weekend donald trump's personal doctor and secondhand speedboats salesman declared that trump would be the healthiest individual ever elected president the former trump insider says she has recordings of him using the n.

word his own words and actions are racist to stormy daniels new book about her life it's not that book wow she tells all from the details of her career in one. to yes being in bed with the future president of the united states it was the golden age of sellout journalism stars rose and fell on trump's name career has made and done made they were drunk on ratings palla but well good things come to an end now comes the hangover the commercial media in the united states is driven by profit trump has been extremely profitable for them they give disproportionate amount of airtime to anything from tweets or says or does they are driven not by any sense of responsibility towards journalism with a motor report people realize that night after night they had been fed unsubstantiated conspiracy theories there are their ratings have declined

precipitously since then so they're going to be searching desperately to maintain the kind of revenue that trump has. consistently brought in for them and which they profited by over the last couple years. and turning attention to north africa where at least one person has been killed and several more are injured after 2 suicide blasts in the chin is in capital we know that the 1st explosion targeted police officers in a popular shopping area in central tunis just meters away from where the french embassy is located shortly after that a 2nd suicide bomber blew himself up near the government's terrorism brigade headquarters on the ice skirts of the city no group has as yet come forward to claim the attack it comes 4 years after 60 people were killed in 2 attacks on

a museum and beatriz sort in the country for which islamic state claimed responsibility. we're back with more news and 90 seconds on cutting to the quick. join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. the answer to every single the economic problem every single number every single statistic every single market reactions to lower rates that's the old it's like an alcoholic drinks when they're happy they drink when they're sad they drink because it's tuesday they drink because it's day time they drink because they're not balling they just drink drink drink drop how top rates whether the economy is

expanding whether it's tracting booth president doesn't matter his dog bit on his wife hates he's going to lower rates makes no difference that's the only thing they did. we're going to st petersburg international economic forum and the topic of our panel is are we witnessing a paradigm shift in the global economic order the answer of course is yes it's a matter of degree. the u.s. is stepping up pressure on a major energy project between russia and europe in a last ditch attempt to thwart they north stream to gas pipeline a sanctions bill is being proposed by the house foreign affairs committee wants up and running you know which seem to all stretch some 1200 kilometers connecting not

troll gas and russia to central and western europe 9 in the huff a 1000000000 euros being invested in the project so far with the goal to double imports to you. it's planned to be completed by the end of this year now the sanctions bill would like to be passed way before that next month it is proposed now if it becomes law the united states will impose financial penalties on investors in north stream to despite washington's opposition some of europe's leaders have been unwavering in their support for the project these sanctions are counterproductive fail to serve the political purpose drive a wedge between america and europe and harm everyone in the long term the e.u. should get started with ending its own sanctions against russia a matter of european energy must be decided in europe not in the us buying gas from the united states would not be a problem for us but as long as russia is price is better than that of the united

states russia is more attractive for us as upon on this issue i believe that as a former businessman trump can understand that we have different interests here well a geopolitical expert we spoke to seize the nation's facing sanctions and still come out on top. there's determination on the side of us and this is also deepening the rift between the europeans and americans. because us have several objectives for imposing the sanctions initially on companies investors and also. this will make it difficult even if they try to defy it because i'm project has already finished 2 tours of it even if they try to defy do our sanctions especially the companies which are involved in the project will be blacklisted by the americans and this is going to have very serious implications for the business interests in the united states not in europe price is extremely important in this

natural gas trade and russia having the largest reserves and exports to the european union if they play with the prices and also terms of contracts restructure the contracts make it more attractive to the europeans we do whatever the u.s. sanctions are will be very incentivise to get more gas from russia and russia has despite to do it this way it will also prevent. us gaining market share kept market share from russia for its own natural gas especially at energy exports that we had expected and we are expecting to increase continuously over the next years. while donald trump complains of a flood of migrants trying to get into the u.s. across the mexico border there's a steady flow in the opposite direction we caught up with one of the many people heading south.

we've been joined to take people into doing good to receive force here in. what is rose. the problem a lot of. i was born from a mexican mom american dad he's from texas my mom's from. i was raised in houston texas i decided to move to mexico because i feel like i could go ahead and give a different look into what traditionally is done in mexico i believe mexico it's a very multicultural very strong but we tend to do things very traditionally.

being mexican american i think we are the best at being able to promote this diversity within the mexican productive we are kind of the voice of these dual system that we're living through. i think mexico. could treat or is treating immigrants a bit better than they may be other countries why because it's been an immigrant exporting nation i would say that mexico right now it's in a moment of change. 2 people have been killed 19 injured after a small plane crash landed. in eastern siberia earlier on thursday for the region see ripley obtained some exclusive footage of the accident we can see.
