a rescue ship with dozens of migrants from. the country southernmost the captain accuses room of doing nothing to help those. from moscow to the world this is r t international just after 6 pm here in the russian capital a midnight where we start this hour. president vladimir putin held a closed door meeting on the sidelines of the g. 20 summit in japan on friday it was the 1st time the 2 leaders had met since the publication of the motor reports on interference in the 2016 us presidential election speaking to journalists before and mr trump gave the following right response when asked if he would tell his russian counterpart not to meddle in next year's. really really really really really really
11:02 am
really really really really really. really. creaming 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. 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
11:03 am
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 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 in that room we understand that iran venezuela ukraine. in syria were brought up and also the issues of disarmament the 2 sides
11:04 am
are ready to continue their discussions on forming some kind of new global framework when it comes to arms control and donald trump 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 here in the us it would be really it would be some disarmament.
11:05 am
protectionism regard to the way we're going to show us a lot of different than you know 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 wants london and moscow to turn the page and their
11:06 am
relations and even said that the fact that to 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 irrefutable 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 post a question about the script during the face to face meeting with putin and received all the necessary ohmss so when it comes to this particular face to face meeting
11:07 am
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 yes a plenty to take on board after day wall of the g. 20 summit then with the leaders leaving their positions on a multitude of issues on monday body language kind of partly play a key part in the. police. believe.
11:09 am
together so we can definitely see a whole bunch of things happening we can certainly see to reason may and fatima puton very they're not friends we don't need to be told that we can't see that donald trump that's that he's much closer with vladimir putin and of course we see the whole the whole the japanese chinese situation they're looking to move towards something positive but they're not there yet it's very very quartile it's very very structured and. we you can't really tell there if that is going to move in the right direction yet or not. let's get the big picture take now i'm happy to say stephen wolf an independent member of the european parliament from the u.k. joins us live on the program good to see you stephen yes so there we go day one done and dusted pretty much at the meeting of the of the global behemoths what stood out for you so far this year summit what's your takeaway. actually who wants i believe that this meeting has already shown you portions of world leaders moving
11:10 am
forward and actually beginning to engage with one another i think it was incredibly important to see the positive engagement between the president of the united states and putin i thought it was really important to have the brics meeting where you saw mollies the hughton the brazilians all meeting on a side meeting i think was really useful to see the chinese and japanese coming together and i also like the way that all over the european are very conscious of my own nation state that the other countries are to an extent ignoring the negativity that has come from donald tusk of the european union and also the negativity of my outgoing prime minister trees in may so i think there's a lot of positives here engagement and for once i think we might see some real excitement for the future yeah that's the point the significance of something the last thing here how likely do you think that any progress will be made for instance in reducing trade tensions because that was the overriding factor coming that it's
11:11 am
essentially a country in the increasing emergence of protectionist economic policy. well donald trump has sent out a very clear statement to the world since he came to power and that was the existing regimes we're not going to stand he's already challenged the chinese and he's challenged the european union he's dealt with immigration on mexico and i think we won't come out with a very clear conclusion other than with donald trump and the chinese he will say that we're moving towards some form of agreement and i think you can see that in the international money markets at the moment that there is some engagement he may well still include an arrangement where he will say put some tariffs on but i may backtrack and say they may not come on straightaway i think he's making it very clear and there's already talk about the way that the. 90 nations will receive less money in the future there's an agreement with china wrong so we're getting we'll see indications that there's
11:12 am
a more positive dynamic between those $2.00 then we're going to see how it starts to tackle the european union he's already made it very clear he wants to tell you can't the power of the car manufacturers and we're seeing negativity coming into germany so yes he has reached he is reestablishing the whole global markets there will be some protectionism but i think he's going to open the door for trade in the future but more on united states terms just to pick up on a point you're saying there that the china u.s. situation right now how destabilizing or or otherwise is that donald trump administration this trade war which beijing going to be for the global economy because there's so many billions so much employment at stake here. i think what it is it's 2 big powers looking to the future and saying yes i recognize china is going to grow but when the united states up in funding the growth of your growth of
11:13 am
the middle east the growth of asia for decades and if we're going to allow an equal playing field then you've got to roll back on some of the ways that your manufacturing goods you've got to roll back on the way you technologies that are giving us a chance. and i think that sounds strange to say give the united states a chance but that's also recognizing the power and improvement of china and also china's outgoing reach those of russia and through the silk road project so it's about rebalancing it will not be total protectionism this is about finding a new way of living for the next 5060 years or more and eventually they are the brics countries russia china india some of them they have condemned a unilateralist and what do you make of that do you think we'll see any concrete efforts by the brics countries to enhance their cooperation because that has been a sticking point in the past. i think they moved over the last decade in some really significant areas this time mishmash of
11:14 am
a joint bank to invest in major infrastructure projects working together on the satellites working together on the technology systems working together in the background on financials to create an alternative to visa or and. all of that is worked well and you've seen some really positive growth but we see the highest g.d.p. is in india followed by china and you have a reasonable in russia 1.6 percent but now you need to for those 5 countries to move together they need to come together a little bit more strongly on trade and use their soft power to influence a positive trade out work network with then work of countries to perhaps the latest meeting on the day was between vladimir putin. of france happening at her and i think 10 or 11 at night apparently stephen it was a fairly cordial meeting in a 2nd that happened how likely do you think sooner or later are we going to see a receptive of relations with russia with big european states france in this
11:15 am
particular case. i think france has always had a very soft spots with russia they've had very cool your relationships for many many years and of course that's reflected in the huge number of russians that go on holiday to france and compare that to the united kingdom which is minimal so they really want to open up the market they know that they've got their businessman in russia looking for deals and they believe that they can also extend their cordiality with russia so have influence perhaps in china and also we know around so yes in the short term there will be that negativity there will be the restrictions that have been placed on russia by the european union but macron and others in france realize the importance that their economy of growing the market in russia would britain do that know with germany follow along long lines i think they will but not just yet thanks very much here take this hour have a great weekend stephen wolf independent m.e.p. talking to us from the u.k.
11:16 am
thank you. all right live in the program all know one of britain's largest waste management firms both are being fined guilty of attempting to send heavily contaminated rubbish to china 7 shipping containers were stopped after the u.k. environment agency found they contained high sold waste instead of paper for recycling inspectors said the rubbish gave off a pungent vomit like smell charlotta been skeet brings us the story. ever wondered what happens to your rubbish at the end of the day or where there was carefully placed for cycling in several bins actually ends up well for years and much of it was being shipped off to less developed countries china in particular but now it looks like the tight is tending.
11:17 am
now it turns out that a u.k. firm has been caught red handed trying to use this as a loophole to export contaminated with tiriel zz this company with 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 nappies condoms and cemetery 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 moment like it's
11:18 am
welcome to the 3rd act the regulations around shipment of ways who are brought in to stop the west's marilee pos and the problem to other countries it was commonplace in the 970 s. and eighty's for developed nations to sent 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 before beset 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 want to be sceptical levels of purity all we strongly contested this case and are very disappointed with this outcome the materials we supplied commanded market lead in prices and we're magic bullet international industry and customer standards the environmental agency has been continually asked to specify
11:19 am
a required level of purity by both the interest. and in one instance the court of appeal and the feeler to do so is a breach of its responsibilities to market in the absence of any a guidelines our product 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 disposing of other countries waste time sparked a bitter disputes in the recent past the philippines has urged conover to take back tons of high solar rubbish wrongly labeled as recycled materials the malaysian government voted to send up to 100 tonnes of contaminate the plastic and much much that is of waste back to australia volunteer numbers from the brick free from
11:20 am
plastic movement say is developing countries are being used as a dump site. we've seen in cases. in malaysia for example where the race it's important ending up in so-called illegal operations and these are called. open burning and the slow open them in indonesia there's been a meeting destination always comical australia from. the us we've seen for example. once gleam or. area so warm into dumping grounds. via telly and governments hard line immigration policies are in the spotlight once again authorities on the telly in the island of lampedusa close to have blocked a rescue ship from docking with dozens of migrants on board the captain claims that
11:21 am
lee has done nothing to help there. but let's. give it a. decent middle of my leave here be done. with charles you organization which owns the ship say they have been caught up in the political game room itself has reiterated that the migrants are attempting to enter the country illegally i spoke earlier to fall asleep or for the latest. migration is against this in 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 and this is because the ship is saving under such flag on the stage just fine ministry said it was
11:22 am
preparing a statement and a response through diplomatic channels but it did issue a statement which should say that it takes responsibility as state but this does not mean that it will take over the mind at the same time interior minister said he was becoming a straight. 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 and also reached out to germany and songs in
11:23 am
germany because the charity that is involved in pushing this ship rescue together is based there but their land 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're 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 40 remaining migrants on what. they moving all know

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 at risk for initiating at the spewed. the only true victim in this was the unborn baby it was the mother of the child who initiated and continued the fight which was altered in the death of her own on boom baby that child is dependent on its mother to try to keep it from home and she shouldn't seek out the necessary physical altercation well here's some of the details marcia jones was 5 months pregnant when a fight broke out outside a dollar store the shooter was initially charged with manslaughter but then acquitted after an investigation found she was acting in self defense police say it was mr jones who actually initiated the fight allegedly in a dispute over the baby's father but the decision comes shortly after alabama authorized as i'm sure you're aware
11:25 am
a controversial abortion bill it was in the headlines for quite some time now that bill was signed in may it's said to be one of the harshest one in the u.s. bombs abortion at any stage of pregnancy even in cases of rape or incest then criminal law is the procedure both for women and also for doctors it's still unclear whether the bill will become law mr jones has not been released on bail but the case sparked outrage. marshy 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 of the anti abortion initiative does as well the support of many in alabama who
11:26 am
believe it should be enshrined in law and brown the move a historic stone for human life attorney evan turk though believes it's unfair that a woman can be charged for losing a child. it's a very interesting case where it's linking the rights of borsch into. manslaughter under alabama's new abortion laws we're just going down. the 1st of many things which seem to be quite contradiction to the case roe v wade which is being decided by the supreme court i believe it's extremely unfair an unprecedented 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
11:27 am
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 was there a news roundup looks for no i'll be here with more than 30 if you'll join me next hour documentary blocked lives didn't. live. live. live.
11:29 am
