the mountains of only grow. question the potential for russian interference in the 2020 us presidential elections. the meeting of the g 20 summit in japan to talk arms control on global security. we've not seen each other since the house thinking me to. be working together they gave us a great opportunity to follow up on that. also ahead on the program britain's largest waste management firms is convicted for attempting to send tons of. rubbish to china wrongly labeled as paper for recycling. the telling

authorities to rescue ship with dozens of migrants from the country southernmost island the captain accuses rome of doing nothing to help those busy on board. around the clock across the world this is our team international from the team myself you know neil hello and welcome to our top story president vladimir putin and donald trump held a closed door meeting on the sidelines of the g. 20 summit in osaka earlier on friday it was the 1st time the 2 leaders met since the publication of the molar report on interference in the 2016 u.s. presidential election speaking to journalists before mr trump gave the following a wry a response when asked if he would tell his russian counterpart and all to meddle in next year's. really really really.

really really really really really really really. really reaming 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 awful warning vladimir putin that. mustn't meddle and the u.s. ally 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 a 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 is. 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 it with president bush. his representative my representative to the us including really into the. just a moment. protectionism here regard to the way we're going to show us a lot of different things we have not seen each other since the house thinking meeting with what seems to be working together they gave us great opportunities to follow up on 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 walk and 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 once london and moscow to turn the page and their relations and even said that the fact that to resume a was stepping down as you case prime minister could help her do that however at sea. 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 threesome a 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 the u.k. wants to see the 2 individuals responsible brought to justice the russian federation and great britain understand that there's a need to figure out ways of reviving business interactions between the 2 countries may posed a question about the script during the face to face meeting with putin and received all the necessary answers 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 . just a note putin is currently holding

a meeting with his french counterpart and money much from they will certainly have a range of acute issues to discuss we'll keep you up to date as the details of the discussion emerges. but it's not being all talks on the high level diplomacy and japan's 3rd cissie the leaders of the world's biggest economies are their spouses worth treated to a traditional theater performance dinner on friday evening. the key aim of the g 20 is to promote global financial stability much of the focus of this year's gathering has been on the global tendency towards protectionism and in particular the trade dispute between the u.s. and china a lot of your putin stressed on friday that he believes the brics countries that's brazil russia india china and south africa have a crucial role to play in shoring up the global economy business analyst thomas

foss pender gave us his thoughts on the world's trade tensions. well of course international trade suffers but for some people and for some strategists the political gains from containment from sanctions a more important. economic well being this plays out with respect or 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. ok to more of our headline stories now one of britain's largest waste management firms before has been convicted for attempting to send contaminated rubbish to china 7 shipping

containers were stopped after the you can vironment agency find they contained a high school waste in stead of paper for recycling inspectors said the rubbish gave off a pungent vomit like smell charlie dubin ski brings us more. 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 is much of it was being shipped off to less developed countries china in particular but now it looks like the tight 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 this that would do you to be shipped to china instead of waste paper the investigators found human waste used not bees condoms and summitry 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 around should we use who are brought in to stop the west mentally 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 to court of appeal and the feeler to do so is a breach of its responsibilities to the market in the absence of any e.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. disposing of other countries waste how spork better disputes in the recent past the philippines was urged to take back tones of hostile rubbish wrongly labeled as recycled materials on the malaysian government valid to send back up to 100 tonnes of contaminated plastic waste to australia vuln hernandez from the brick free from plastic movement so he's developing countries are being used as a dump site. we've seen in cases. in malaysia for example where the waste it's important to go up in so-called illegal operations by and these are called i'm

greg. open burning and this opened. in a village in indonesia that's been a meeting destination always coming. from. the us we've seen for example. once clean or pristine area so warm into dumping grounds. moving on a woman from the u.s. state of alabama who lost her all my born baby when she was shot in the stomach during an altercation is not being charged with manslaughter police believe the woman is guilty for putting herself and the child at risk for initiating had this beautiful. 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 to try to keep it from home and she shouldn't seek out unnecessary physical altercations ok here's some of the

details marché jones was 5 months pregnant when a fight broke out i'd situs the word the shooter was initially charged with manslaughter but then acquitted after an investigation found she was acting in self defense the police say it was mr jones who initiated the fight allegedly and of the spewed over the baby's father well the decision comes shortly after you may remember alabama or theorising a controversial abortion bill the bill was signed in may now this now is said to be one of the harshest in the u.s. it bans abortion than any stage of pregnancy even in the cases of rape incest and criminalizes the procedure both for women and for doctors it's still unclear whether the bill will become law mr owens has been released on bail but the case has 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 the 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 well the anti abortion initiative does have the support as well of many in the above who believe it should be enshrined in law brown the moves on historic stand for human life attorney evan turco ever believes it's on for that a woman can be charged for losing a child. it's a very interesting case where it's linking the right of abortion to. manslaughter under alabama's new abortion laws where just going down. the 1st of many things which seem to be 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 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 to in my opinion to see this case possibly overturn roe v wade so i think they're counting on the outrage. still we look into a standoff between italy and the rescue ship in the mediterranean sea with dozens of migrants on board the details more besides after this.

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.

globalization period that we had is that they'll be a new globalization period there will be a network driven i predict that america will become a subscription service like netflix you all subscribe to america and they have to offer you a value proposition to keep your subscription alive. minutes into the program welcome back the italian government's hard line immigration policies are in the spotlight once again authorities on the tongue island of lampedusa close to. block to rescue ship with dozens of migrants on board from docking the captain claims it has done nothing to help the. but let's. give it a. decent middle of my leave here be done but because.

i did lose. the charity organization which owns the ship. being caught up in a political game room itself has reiterated that the migrants are attempting to enter the country illegally with more on the story here shorty's policy. for migration is again splitting europe and becoming the new taste for it to these hard line migration policies roman says it will not take these migrants in and it has to see the netherlands to become involved and to intervene in this because the ship is saving under such flag on the stage the dutch foreign ministry said it was preparing a statement in response to diplomatic channels but it did issue a statement in which it states that it takes responsibility stage but this does not mean that it will take over the mike witnessed at the same time interior minister

said he was becoming frustrated. i have objectives a fine of 50000 euros for the ngo the detention or seizure of the ship the arrest through 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 entitle 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 ad hoc measures for the disembarkation italian authorities have also reached out to germany and france germany because the charity that is involved in pushing this surprise school together is based there but their lead in as of yet hasn't given a response and france neither has come forward and said that they will be involved now it's worth pointing out that the i stress for the court did recognize italy's

right not to accept these migrants at the same time we hearing from the e.u. migration commissioner there says he's closely involved and is trying to coordinate between member states to find a solution in terms of where these migrants should go once they disembark the solution for people on board is only possible once they are disembarked i hope that it will in this particular incident will contribute to resume lucian for the person some board e.u. countries are clearly divided over this issue the ship has been in the mediterranean sea for the last 2 weeks and earlier 2 brothers were pulled onto land but there are still 14 remaining migrants on board. a u.s. congresswoman has been accused of staging photos next to a migrant detention center for children in a bid to highlight the humanitarian crisis in the region the actual pictures were taken last year in texas but the lino surface or xandra cortez is shown near

a chain link fence looking apparently upset however critics have pointed out that no actual migrants can be seen featured and that she appears to be facing an empty parking lot instead of a detention facility. was it the trees or car or the emptiness of the lot that made you so motional. and it's in them to last yeah we really need to stop this such pain such anguish oh the humanity psych is just an empty parking lots. that's better know you can truly relate to us. cortez has denied the photos were staged in a twitter post she latched on to the americas migrant policies claiming no one is being held accountable for the conditions in which children are being held it comes after the lawmaker was heavily criticized for comparing the migrant centers to concentration camps back in washington the humanitarian crisis has seen donald

trump come under fire from the democrats especially over his plan to build a border wall where some of the images used to illustrate the severity of the migrant issue were actually taken during barack obama's time in the oval office we spoke to the director of political commentary website reactionary time who believes the democrats have failed to address the real issues. this is becoming the thing to do for the democrat party to support everyone except tax paying united states citizens they're playing the emotion game this is just another example of political propaganda the democrats were actually for the building of a wall before they were against the building of a wall and the reason why they're against it is because it's a central theme of trying populism which is obviously elevated him to the highest position of government in the united states they want to undermine him they want to

try to inspire the american people to believe that what donald trump is trying to do which is just to enforce the rule of law is something horrific and deplorable as they like to say they think it's going to provide optics which will be beneficial to the democrat party. of an election they attempted to try to do this last year during the midterm election i don't think the american people are going to be fooled by it in 2020 but of course with one year to go until the election that remains to be seen. the u.n. special at rupp a tour on torture has once again highlighted his concerns over the case of shooting innocent there's no accusing the media of ignoring the alleged enqueue main treatment of the wiki leaks founder by refusing to publish an article he wrote about his findings niels melzer argues that the sunshine has been slandered to divert attention from the revelations that wiki leaks has helped expose he also

says 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 bad 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 cat 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 public narrative to actually show the facts below it then the modern trusted. julian assange just currently serving a 50 week sentence in the u.k. for skipping bail in 2012 he's expected to face a u.s. extradition hearing in spring. well last month mr meltzer highlighted the prison

conditions as a major concern the whistleblower was said to show an alarming deterioration in his mental and physical state the u.k. responded by saying melzer was wrong to interfere and should leave it quote to british courts to make their judgments here is it kneels that moser again on the suffering julian assange has faced. i knew that i was going to get into a very politicized environment when i visited it in a sunday i didn't know him before so i took with me to experienced medical experts of psychiatry and a forensic expert and 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 been 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 or ridicule of even death threats and calls for his assassination and he's completely isolated then that can cause severe psychological trauma. or comment from the news media listed by neil's melcher asking them why the article wasn't published we'll show you the response as soon as we get them. the big questions asked and some surprising answers next as peter lavelle part of the talking to lowball trends in the 21st century. were attending a st petersburg international economic forum and the topic of our panel is are we witnessing a paradigm shift in the global economic order well the answer of course is yes it's a matter of degree. welcome to our panel discussion here

our proposition is are we witnessing a paradigm shift in the global economic order so as to the question yes obviously there is a paradigm shift going on what does a paradigm shift mean is it a win win situation for everyone involved and if it isn't what does it mean to lose in a paradigm shift and i could ask one of our member of our panel here to kick it off for us addressing that question whether. if you look now into the general economic development of the political development globally speaking you see on the one hand that. there is a tendency to read nationalize politics to try to regulate. as a important questions on a more national level you see it in the u.s. obviously you have seen it and see it in russia you can also see it in the european union's member states on the other hand a little bit is that it is certainly a bad thing i mean you're you make 8 of a pick i come i come to that because it was a reaction to neoliberal yeah but you know what

a bonus then you look into the growth of the global economy it slows down trade slows down globally speaking f.b.i. has been reduced significantly in the past few years and on the other hand you have global make up trends new ones like the digitalisation that we see at the moment and climate change and obviously these mega trends need more international cooperation india and in order to give an answer to this in order to be able to regulate it in a problem in a sort of human kind doesn't have to lose us and we know so much that so for example if climate change so that leader is saved lots of also business potential in this and for example. in germany does is a big discussion for the last 20 years a lot of things have been done when we look into the question of energy consumption as a one point and so the companies who are inventing new technologies and new processes related to the energy consumption and production of c o 2 emissions are certainly

witness of this situation and on the other hand the question of climate change is linked to migration and their knowledge interrelated that's it's really the problem because you know there are as you pointed out there are forces that want to retreat from internationalization but on the other hand to solve some of these problems it has to be international jumpier you want to do is to try to answer could lead to your question who we knew who was as a foreigner who was you needed to resume you know out there on his own you know from the united states governing everything and now we completely and we are. of protectionism and we are and all of the worldwide globalization now the new frame easier e generally is asian or does it change you know of asia you of both america and you off china or course we we are not working.
