3:02 pm
between washington and moscow donald trump as it seemed tried to do his best to lighten up the mood he was seeing tapping vladimir putin on the shoulder while they were walking towards the podium for the traditional g. 20 family photo ceremony but when they ended up in the room for the formal talks the jokes from donald trump just didn't stop flowing. and a once again this time when this formal protocol part so to say of the bilat was over the american the wing so to say of the journalist started screaming what about the meddling moment what about the meddling and donald trump simply said he point out the russian side and said don't meddle here's what
3:03 pm
that looked like. really really really really. really really really really. really miss. the white house and the kremlin remain rather tight lipped about what was said in that room the only spilled the beans on a few things the president putin spokesperson dmitri pascal of said that russia was welcoming trumps constructive approach and also the desire to improve the deplorable state of affairs and economy plus dmitri pascal said that moscow was glad to feel the readiness on the american side to start a conversation on stability disarmament and. control so despite all kinds of issues between the 2 countries it is definitely fair to say that the 2 leaders did make some headway at least on a personal level we even heard from the kremlin that donald trump's reaction to
3:04 pm
vladimir putin's invitation to attend the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the world war 2 victory in moscow was quote unquote very positive much later in the evening we saw another display of warmth when mr putin had out by a lap with the french president emmanuel macron who greeted his russian counterpart in russian. and this brings us to one of the highlights in the macron talks when the french leader decided to react to something a lot of our putin said in his interview to the financial times he believed that the liberal ideal was out of date mr america and pointed out that he believes liberal democracies can still do the world plenty of good lattimer putin's response was well i'm ready to discuss that with you this brings us to the end of long day
3:05 pm
one at the g. 20 more is still to come on saturday. another meeting at the g. 20 that drew attention on friday was that of putin and the british prime minister to resign me it was the 1st time they'd held talks since the nerve agent attack against the script files in march 28th team. was pretty evident as a grim faced shook hands with the russian president i'll just take a quick look at some of the other body language you've been seeing so far all before. please. believe.
3:06 pm
me you can pick out you can pick up on how relaxed are together how tense they are together so we can definitely see a whole bunch of things happening which would 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
3:07 pm
see the whole the whole the japanese chinese situation they're looking to move toward something positive but they're not there yet it's very very core deal it's very very structured and you can't really tell if that is going to move in the right direction yes or no. one of britain's largest waste management farms before has been found guilty of attempting to send heavily contaminated rubbish to china 7 . shipping containers were stopped after the u.k. environment agency found they contained household waste instead of paper for recycling inspectors said the rubbish gave off a pungent vomit like smell shot at doing is key 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
3:08 pm
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 cereals 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 his that would do
3:09 pm
you to be shipped to china instead of waste paper the investigators found human waste used not 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 a moment like it's welcome to the verdict the regulations we use who are brought in to stop the west mentally pos and 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 be. 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 sceptical levels of purity
3:10 pm
are we strongly contested this case and are very disappointed with this outcome the materials we supplied commanded market lead in prices and we imagine 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 challenge even ski after high wycombe. disposing of other countries waste the spark both the disputes
3:11 pm
in the past as well as the philippines has urged kind of a take back tonnes of household rubbish wrongly labelled as recycled materials and the malaysian government vowed to send as many as 100 tonnes of contaminated plastic waste back to australia vuln this from the break free from plastic movement says developing countries are being used as a dump site. we've seen in cases. in malaysia for example where it's called going up in so-called illegal operations and these are called. open burning and opened. in a village in indonesia there's been a need in this nation always coming from australia from. the us we've seen for example. once clean or pristine agricultural areas and swarmed into dumping grounds. the italian government's hardline immigration
3:12 pm
policies are in the spotlight once again or thor which is only entirely an island of lampedusa have blocked a rescue ship from docking with dozens of migrants on board and the captain claims italy has done nothing to help them. transition. people help if you want to come out harmonious and for tom do you get a phone box named. dr type out of the top 1000 middle here who don't but become. dotted loosen up 2nd by. the charity organisation which owns the ship says they've been caught up in a political game rome itself has reiterated that the migrants are attempting to enter the country illegally but more on the story here's artie's paulus lier. well migration is again splitting europe and becoming the new taste for its cities hardline migration policies roman says it will not take these migrants in and it
3:13 pm
has reached out to the netherlands to become involved and to intervene and this is because the ship is saving under a dutch flag on thursday the dutch foreign ministry said it was preparing a statement and a response through diplomatic channels but it did issue a statement in which it states that it takes responsibility as a flag state but this does not mean that it will take over the mind witnessed at the same time getting these 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
3:14 pm
a clear perspective for such a structural solution the netherlands will not participate in and hold measures for the disembarkation italian authorities have also reached out to germany and france germany because the charity that is involved in putting this ship rescue together is based there but their linen 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 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 will hold on to land
3:15 pm
but there are still 40 remaining migrants on board. a woman from the u.s. state of alabama who lost her unborn baby when she was shot in the stomach during alter cation is now being charged with manslaughter police believe the woman is guilty for putting yourself on a child at 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 to try to keep it from harm and she shouldn't seek out unnecessary physical altercations marché jones was 5 months pregnant when a fight broke out outside a store 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 in
3:16 pm
a dispute over the baby's father the decision comes shortly after alabama authorized the controversial abortion bill the bill was signed in may it said to be the harshest in the united states it bans abortion at any stage of pregnancy even in the case of rape or incest and it criminalizes the procedure both for doctors and patients too it's still unclear whether the bill will become law mr jones has now 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 this antiabortion 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 the anti abortion initiative does have the support of many in alabama who believe
3:17 pm
it should be enshrined in law and brown the move or historic stand for human life attorney evan turco ever 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 abortion to. 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 and unprecedented that they're 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
3:18 pm
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. to see this case possibly overturn roe v wade so i think they're counting on the outrage. iran has agreed not to violate the rules of the 2050 nuclear deal that followed talks with representatives of the e.u. in vienna. because i don't want to give any medium term for cars as there are lots of factors influencing the situation but at least for now the task of preserving the iran nuclear deal and solving the most acute issues surrounding it has been achieved we must create protections for around from the negative effects of us sanctions which are continuing to prove harmful. challenges to the integrity of the nuclear deal stem from america's destructive policies which have isolated it from
3:19 pm
the global community. iran and the e.u. countries agreed on the implementation of special mechanisms which allow iran to trade crude oil with europe while iran will reserve the right to increase its enriched uranium if other parties do violate the 2015 deal and the u.s. unlike the e.u. continues to impose sanctions on tehran our europe correspondent peter all of us been following developments for us in austria. tehran had described this meeting in austria as the last chance to save the 2015 nuclear deal it certainly doesn't seem like that has happened as this meeting is wrapped up but what we have seen is that they are willing all of the sides are willing to continue talks to try and salvage what is left of the deal it's really been a rocky ground since the u.s. pulled out unilaterally in 2018. as the meeting ended the iranian side described it as a step forward but certainly not the finished deal just yet iran has threatened to
3:20 pm
exceed the enrich uranium levels that were set down in the 2015 agreement it's understood that they could do that as early as saturday sunday but we are led to believe that they won't do that immediately that it would be something that would happen at a later date should they pursue with that threat the people who have been here in vienna to try and hammer out some kind of solution include representatives from the united kingdom france germany china and russia. all of the remaining signatory since the u.s. decided that they didn't want to be part of it and donald trump moved them away from it one of the things that has given a glimmer of hope to saving the iran deal has been the proposal by the european union sides france germany and the united kingdom they put forward a mechanism called in sticks which is essentially there to isolate european companies and to rein in companies from u.s. sanctions as they do business with iran the e.u.
3:21 pm
side has promised a large influx of cash into in sticks to try and make it do the job it was designed to do 6 months since this mechanism was created it still is an up and working in the iranians are far from happy about that because they of course are suffering financially at the hands of u.s. economic sanctions this meeting has happened here in vienna while world leaders are meeting at the g 20 in a sock and we heard from senior you figures in japan who said they were really still maintaining that a diplomatic solution was the only way to solve the current impasse 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
3:22 pm
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 in a war but in recent weeks in the gulf area we've seen attacks on oil tank is that the united states firmly blamed tehran for being behind we've also seen a u.s. drone shot down by the iranian military now what we've heard from. the u.s. i know well they've been speaking in here is they've said that they want to put together a new coalition of the willing and the united states is calling on its allies to join forces with them as they try to get iran to bend to washington's will iran's 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 our allies i discuss the need to internationalize this issue by encouraging nato
3:23 pm
allies and regional partners to voice their opposition to iran's bad behavior and to help us deter further provocative acts so this highly anticipated summit here in vienna is ended without any concrete solutions that was described as i said is the the last chance to save the iran deal it hasn't really done that but we have seen is these talks resulting in perhaps a little bit more life support for the deal. a congresswoman has been accused of staging photos next to margaret detention center for children in a bid to highlight the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region now the actual pictures were taken last year in texas but only now surfaced alexandra quarters is shown near a chain link fence looking upset over 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 said to treat
3:24 pm
a car or the emptiness of the life that made you so motional griner samantha last yeah we really need to stop this such pain such anguish oh the humanity site is just an empty parking lots. it's better know you can truly relate to. a cause or quarters has denied the photos was staged in a twitter post she lashed out at america's migrant policies claiming no one is being held accountable for the conditions in which children are being kept and this comes after that all make it 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 however some of the images used to illustrate the severity of the modern dishy were actually taken during barack obama's time in the oval office we
3:25 pm
spoke to the director of political commentary website reactor and try and. 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 war before they were against the building of a war busy 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 in government in the united states they want to undermine him they want to try to inspire the american people to believe that with 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 better official to the democrat party in view of an election they attempted to try to do
3:26 pm
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. a danish headmaster says he's received a barrage of hateful and threatening messages after video emerged online of a cultural awareness class at a school now in the footage a muslim boy can be seen teaching his fellow pupils how he prays to god it was ok to love her. or. her. and the principal said his school was holding a get to know your classmate week aimed at promoting friendship a mutual understanding of the video has i'm good some parents son troll reaction from a number of right wing politicians. i am deeply shocked at the answer from the
3:27 pm
school principal he obviously believes that danish students can learn about the basics of islam and its teachings by learning all of the muslim prayers in this way they learn nothing about the nature of islam let's get some perspective now on this we're joined live by the chief executive of the ramadan foundation mallets feet and stephen morris is a member of the english democrats party gentlemen thank you both for coming on good to have you on today i don't know if i can get started with you perhaps i've just been looking at this video it seems like a fairly innocent classroom project why do you think there's been so much strong negative reaction to the video i mean is there something wrong with children learning about each other's cultures. 2 things one you know the school was in the wrong because of the way they reacted they were more concerned that they got. the actual event itself if there was nothing in the event then why didn't they just
3:28 pm
say so why do what they were really hitting on was the fact that they got video and video of the point is the fact that did they have permission of the parents because if they did that it's a clear violation of the european court of human rights because the children should know is one thing being made aware of this is different think actually sitting down on new down and pray and doing it is the same like i would expect a muslim to take. the the catholic. rituals go to a church it's one thing to to show them actually get him to do it that's a completely different thing and that's out of order and i've just done that with my little school where they try to get him to celebrate. first of all we said well it's not it's not a nice it's a christian to show him the 1st of all voice not his religion and under the european court human rights you cannot do that it's a violation of that right. ok. do you think it was you know of stephen
3:29 pm
you know perhaps wrong to involve pupils actually perhaps getting you know their parents' permission to agree to this model bring a bit of you know sensitivity to engage and before going ahead with this. so i think in the movie society should we learn about each is faith so we can have cohesive relationships i can he said societies i think most people would say yes is it important for muslim kids to know about the jewish faith the christian faith the hindu faith yes i'm vice versa look i think this group could have handled it better there's no doubt about that they should have engaged the parents they should of you know talked about allowing muslim kids to demonstrate muslim prayers for the others to watch and learn ask questions i think that would have been a suitable way forward i think the reaction has been where you are the top are these from the usual suspects people who like sean to anything negative and any way
3:30 pm
that they could attack the islamic faith or the muslim community this is an error on the part of the school and i think it's important you know i want to learn about what my children go to a british mainstream high school i encourage them. you know to learn about other faiths visit the church the synagogue the temple so that they're able to understand how we should respect all faith what isn't acceptable is the inflammatory language that some of the right the far right have been using in this particular issue. stephen i want to go back to your point about the video far as i'm aware here the video was actually taken in the 28 was quite a while ago and there was no outcry at the time there was no complaints to my knowledge at the time why do you think such a fast has been kicked up now i mean is that more to do with the fact this was on video the fact that this was a.
