i. question about russia interfering in the. presidential elections this. volatility in the middle east ukraine. we have not seen. have. coming up on the program. busy to china.

who investigated the suffering of imprisoned. for refusing to publish an article on his findings. and some of the. 247 news live from moscow this is r.t. international pleasure to have your company money. top story president vladimir putin. talked arms control situations in venice crane on the sidelines of the g. 20 summit the meeting behind closed doors. it is their 1st. the face since

the motor report cleared the american leader of collusion with russia in the 2016 presidential campaign mr trump jokingly firstly responded to a journalist's question whether he would warn his counterpart not to meddle in next year's u.s. presidential election. you have to really really really. really really say. that you just heard from the american journalists was about the meddling again i can tell you that. some u.s. media organizations the only thing that they care about is to make sure that their president keeps telling off warning vladimir putin that. mustn't meddle and the u.s. allies and this is the explanation to the scene that you've just seen that we've just shown you shortly after the get together of lattimer putin and donald trump we

heard from the adviser of the russian president this is potentially a very big story he said that donald trump's reaction to an invitation to attend the celebrations of world war 2 victory in moscow next year donald trump's reaction to that according to the adviser was very positive for now we don't understand what exactly that means and for now we don't have the confirmation from the u.s. side but this could be one of the biggest stories when it comes to the outcomes of this g. 20 what if donald trump agrees to go to russia what if that's going to be fully fledged state visit next year we don't know a little earlier we heard from the white house they shared some of the details of what was discussed and what was said and that room we understand that iran

venezuela ukraine and syria were brought up and also the issues of disarmament the 2 sides are ready to continue their discussions on forming some kind of new global framework when it comes to arms control and donald trump in. is making it clear that washington also once beijing to be involved in that process and the 2 leaders also agreed that the whole world would benefit if moscow and washington finally start getting along with each other now you may have expected some kind of breakthroughs from the things that were said during that short period when the journalists were allowed in that room well instead this kind of exchange sounded quite formal way to others it with the president. his representatives my representative here that the food. including really into the some disarmament.

protectionism regarding the way we're going to discuss a lot of different things. i can't disagree with the president we have something to discuss all these topics have been outlined we have not seen each other. have been working together that gives us a great opportunity to photo op it's. something that didn't appear to be formal at all was when the 2 the leaders entered the hall where the traditional g 20 family photo ceremony was taking place the cameras zoom down on vladimir putin and donald trump as they were walking shoulder to shoulder and the american leader even tapped his russian counterpart on the back another g. 20 sidelines highlight on friday was when the russian president met the u.k.

prime minister to resume a these 2 didn't have formal talks for as many as 3 years because of the script poisoning case a little earlier this week in an interview to the financial times the russian. president made it clear that he wants london and moscow to turn the page and their relations and even said that the fact that the reason may was stepping down as you case prime minister could help her do that however it seems that nothing positive came out of these talks we didn't hear much from the russian side however what we heard from the british side was that business as usual cannot be done with russia given what moscow was up to around the world 3 samee was clear that u.k. has even refutable evidence that russia was behind the attack she said that this behavior can never be repeated and that u.k.

wants to see the 2 individuals responsible brought to justice so when it comes to this particular face to face meeting there could have been some kind of expectations before hand but it seems we won't see a new chapter when it comes to relations between britain and russia at least for now well it's not all talks and high level diplomacy. that leaders are the authors of a riot for a traditional japanese theater performance dinner. it is back to business for the russian president he is expected to meet with the french and korean leaders before the end of the day. but among the biggest problems for the g. $22.00 thrush of the deep divisions over tariffs on sanctions russia china india of all reaffirmed their opposition to protectionism unilateral actions on trade restrictions the russian president spoke about how the brics group of nations

brazil russia india china and south africa can join forces to ensure a more stable and for economic reality journalist on business commentator thomas fassbender sees the global economic situation is becoming more complex. well of course international trade suffers but for some people and for some strategists the political gains from containment from sanctions are more important. economic well being this plays out with respect to a war to russia with this with plays out with respect to iran and in a way the increase increasing tariffs put up by washington also another form of sanction so again i point to the mix of political and economic aspects and it's us very and increasingly difficult to keep one apart from on the other picture becomes more complicated and money. it will leave the summit

for a move on to more world news one of britain's largest waste management firms has been convicted for attempting to send can tell me that rubbish to china 7 shipping containers were stopped after the u.k. environment agency fallen they contained hostile waste instead of paper for recycling inspectors said the romish gave off a pungent vomit like smell short of do penske's got the story. ever wondered what happens to your rubbish at the end of the day or where those carefully placed for cycling in several bins actually ends up well for you it is much of it was being shipped off to less developed countries china in particular but now it looks like the tide is turning.

now it turns out that the u.k. firm has been caught red handed trying to use this as a loophole to export contaminated with tiriel zz this company a big waste services has been convicted after a spot check discovered a host of unsanitary items amongst the $725.00 ton load contain is that would do you it to be shipped to china instead of waste paper the investigators found human waste used not condoms and sanitary towels amongst a host of other don't pay pal items such as plastic the u.k. environment agency described the smell from the container as

a moment like its welcome to the 3rd act the regulations we use were brought in to stop the west's manoli puss in the problem to other countries it was commonplace in the 970 s. and eighty's for developed nations to send vast amounts of waste to brought the waste contains offensive material likely to have been discarded by the receiving contrie at great risk and cost to the environment and people the guilt of your to justify our decision to prosecute. big fat remains adamant that he did nothing wrong and says the real problem is actually down to a lack of clear guidance for the industry overall more acceptable levels of purity are we strongly contested this case and are very disappointed with this outcome the materials we supplied commanded market lead in prices and we match both international industry and customer standards the environmental agency has been continually asked to specify

a required level of purity by both the industry and in one instance the court of appeal and the feeler to do so is a breach of its responsibilities to the market in the absence of any a guidelines our products always met the standards set by our customers and provided a route to recycling in an environmentally sound manner so as countries like china cracked down on taking care of the west's inability or unwillingness to deal with its own rubbish the question is what. next solar t.v. ski otty high wycombe. of the supposing of other countries waste has sparked better disputes in the recent past the philippines has urged culliver to take back tons of high solar rubbish wrongly labeled as recycled materials on the malaysian government valid to send back up to 100 tonnes of contaminated plastic waste to australia vollmer numbers from the break free from plastic and have been saved

developing countries are being used as a dump site. we've seen in cases. in malaysia for example where it's important to go up in so-called illegal operations by and these are all called. open burning and this alone opened them in a village in indonesia that's been a meeting destination always coming. from. we've seen for example. once gleam or. form into bumping girls. moving on a woman from the u.s. state of alabama who lost her own born baby when she was shot in the stomach during an altercation is now being charged with manslaughter police believe the woman is guilty for putting herself on the child risk for initiating

a dispute. the only true victim in this was the unborn baby it was the mother of the child who initiated and continued the fight which resulted in the death of her own unborn baby that child is dependent on its mother tried to keep it from home and she shouldn't seek out unnecessary physical altercation. well marché jones was 5 months pregnant when a fight broke out ites side a store now the shooter was initially charged with manslaughter but then acquitted after investigation find she was acting in self-defense police say it was mr jones who initiated the fight allegedly in a dispute over the baby's father the decision comes shortly after by the way all a bomb or authorized a controversial abortion bill now the up bill was signed in may and was not said to be one of the harshest in the. bounds abortion of any stage of pregnancy even in case of rape or incest and criminalizes the procedure both for women and for

doctors it's still unclear whether the bill will be come law well mr jones has no i've been released on bail but the case has already sparked outrage. marcia jones was pregnant when she was shot in the stomach while in a fight with another woman over the baby's father the fetus died now she's been charged with murder this anti abortion laws are unjust she must not be charged alabama is one of the most dangerous places in the country for a black woman trying to carry her pregnancy to term and this prosecution is just one more attack on the basic human rights and dignity of black women in our state. we anti abortion initiative does have the support of many as well in alabama who believe it should be enshrined in law and brown the move and historic standing for human life attorney evan turk whoever believes it's on for a woman can be charged for losing a child. it's a very interesting case where it's linking the rights of abortion to.

manslaughter under alabama's new abortion laws we're just going down. the 1st of many things which seem to be in quite contradiction to the case roe v wade which is been decided by the supreme court i believe it's extremely unfair and on precedented that there are going to try to charge her for manslaughter for the loss of her child in an altercation it has not been heard before and it seems as if the state of alabama is trying to test new waters i don't think the outrage is going to have the state of alabama to reconsider those absolutely not i think in fact the outrage is what they're looking for water to in my opinion to see this case possibly overturn roe v wade so i think they're counting on the outrage.

head the un's expert on torture slaloms the media for refusing to publish an article on the cakes of wiki leaks founder julian assange. join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. you know world of big movies law and conspiracy 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 smarter 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. 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. it's in this into the program welcome back the italian government's hardline immigration policies are in the spotlight once again authorities on the italian island of lampedusa close to. block the rescue ship with 42 migrants on board from docking while a captain claims that lee has done nothing to help the. if

you want to come on time on the other hand hold on. one box name you publish my going on. and off the top it off the top 1000 middle of my life here be done but because. i did lose. so intriguingly the church organization which owns the ship so yes there's more to this than just please migration policies room itself has reiterated that the migrants are attempting to enter the country illegally let's cross live now to our policy or for more all miss polly good to see the chara 2 planes there that there are all their influences played do we know what the referring to. certainly what we're seeing here is that the issue of the migration is a case of splitting europe and has become a new taste for its these hardline migration policies now it's he has said quite

clearly that they are not letting the ship in and they want another country to take responsibility the italian foreign ministry has reached out to the netherlands and this is because the separate self was registered in the netherlands and is saving. the official response so far from the netherlands has being that they are still preparing to respond and l.t. so through diplomatic channels but amsterdam has said it is not shying away from its responsibility that the ship is sailing under the dutch flag but it doesn't mean that this means it is responsible for those migrants on board the dutch also saying that they used to participate in any kind of ad hoc measures the italian foreign minister had this to say. you give you i have objectives a fine of 50000 euros for the n.g.o.s to detention no seizure of the ship the rest of the expulsion of the crew and the removal of migrants from italy on board if

these conditions are met i'll be happy there is a question about holland because they say they don't care that is their ship and we like the same way. those who are not in total to international protection need to be sent back immediately on arrival at european borders without a clear perspective for such a structural solution the netherlands will not participate in a whole measures for the disembarkation. now they're telling interior minister also reached out to germany and this is because the charity that organized the sea rescue which is known as sea watch is actually based in germany as of here there's been no response from then we have heard from the deputy prime minister of italy who's also the leader of the far right the 5 star movement and he's also asked for countries like france to respond saying and i'm quoting that that paris is soaking its responsibilities harris as of yet hasn't given any kind of response

and we've heard from the italian defeated prime minister that he thinks the dutch and german reaction is something that they need to answer for and he says he is fed up with the situation now it's worth pointing out that i stress for the court did recognize italy's right not to accept these migrants at the same time we're hearing from the e.u. migration commissioner who says he's closely involved and is trying to coordinate between member states to find a solution in terms of where these might win should go once they disembark so what is clear is that this is an issue over which european states do not find agreement on. paula thanks very much for bring this right off the dates. going situation polis leader in belarus. the un special rapporteur on torture has once again highlighted his concerns over the case of julian assange there's no accusing the media of ignoring the alleged in

human treatment of the wiki leaks founder by refusing to publish an article he wrote about his findings. nields melzer argues that us being slandered to divert attention from the revelations that wiki leaks has helped expose he also sees the whistleblower has been deprived of his fundamental rights and suffered fully fledged psychological torture during his time in the ecuadorian embassy in london i spoke to mr meltzer. some of them said it wasn't high enough on their news agenda some of them said that it was not within their core area of interest but you know there have been reporting all of them on the case of julian assange when it was about his cats and his skateboard and kind of the allegations that he smeared excrement on the walls but when you have a serious piece that actually tries to damascus this this public narrative to

actually show the facts below it then they're not interested. julian assange just currently serving a 50 week sentence in the u.k. for skipping bail back in 2012 he's expected to face a u.s. extradition hearing in the spring. months and mr meltzer highlighter son just prison conditions as a major concern the whistleblower was said to show an alarming deterioration in mental and physical state the u.k. responded by saying melzer was wrong to interfere and should leave it to british courts to make their judgments. on the suffering during a space. i knew that i was going to get into a very politicized environment when i visited it in the sunday i didn't know him before so i took with me to experienced medical experts of psychiatry and forensic experts have worked for decades in examining torture victims just to go to the objective scientific and medical basis for my assessment and what they found is

a person who shows all the symptoms that are typical for a person who has been exposed to prolonged psychological torture he has been exposed to public more being now that's a slippery slope you know we're going to be in a debate when it's 2 side it's more being basically something like mudslinging that's not torture yet but when you start exposing a isolated individual who cannot defend himself to a sustained campaign of shaming of humiliation of ridicule of even death threats and calls for his assassination and he's completely isolated then that can cause severe psychological trauma. well the newsroom here are to sort comment from the news media listed by needles melzer asking them why the article was not published we will show you any response soon as we get them. the european union is expected to decide today whether it will keep to the hard for

2015 iranian nuclear deal the united states pulled out of the law mark accord last year reintroduced sanctions on tehran iran itself is now warning it will surpass the agreed limit of its you rhenium enrichment r.t.s. europe correspondent peter all over breaks a lot done. well the iranian side is saying this is the last chance saloon for the 2015 iranian nuclear deal we understand that should they go over that limit it's pretty much curtains for the whole nuclear deal we expected to fall apart not why people of come here from all different sites still part of the deal to try and hammer out a solution here in vienna what we understand though is going to be put forward by the european side is a shock to the all the financial shot in the arm to the styx system now this was put in place and backed up by germany france and the united kingdom to try and

shield a radiant companies and european companies from crippling u.s. sanctions on doing business with iran essentially allowing them to circumvent those sanctions and continue to do trade with the iranian side what we've been hearing from the the europeans that desperate to see a diplomatic solution to the impasse over the iran deal with tehran the paradox is that we see an international community or some of them that is becoming more tender with the one who already has nuclear weapons and who is threatening and harder with iran whose activity has already been controlled since 2015 where is the coherence the strategy of maximum pressure can be the right one because one of the consequences is that we are all talking about how serious the situation is and that there is a danger of war this is the time for diplomacy we have to ensure that these tensions are reduced because otherwise an event without it being clear who caused it could lead to spiral of violence that and in

a war well that's the european view the united states has a very different view on the situation following attacks on oil tank is that washington is blamed on tehran and the shooting down of a u.s. drone over the gulf this has led to a increasing animosity between washington and tehran iran. hostile actions are an international problem that affects many nations let me be clear the united states does not seek war with iran. in focus conversations with allies i discuss the need to internationalize this issue by encouraging nato allies and regional partners to voice their opposition to iran's bad behavior and to help us deter further provocative acts while the meeting here in austria is set to get underway around noon local time any developments come out all thoughts of course i'll be bringing them to you here on off to. and i want to point out if you happen to miss any of this broadcast i want to get updates on the stories affecting your world today
