a rescue ship with dozens of migrants from docking on the country's southern most violent as the captain accuses rove of doing nothing to help those on board. what's your to international thanks for staying wherever you are welcome to the program now the curtain has come down on day one of the g. 20 summit in japan it's been a day of plenty of positives as well after the leaders got quickly down to business here's just some of the highlights.

one of the most important events those talks between vladimir putin and donald trump it was the 1st time the leaders had met since the publication of the report on interference in the 26th the us presidential election. the big fat serious agenda of the talks between donald trump and vladimir putin didn't stop the 2 leaders from enjoying a few light hearted moments despite the delight but they did state of relationships 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 the ended up in the room for the formal talks the jokes from donald trump just didn't stop flowing. into

the. 3. and a once again this time when this formal protocol part to say of the bilat was over the american the wings so to save the journalist started screaming what about the meddling mother what about the meddling and donald trump simply said he point out the russian side and said don't matter. here's what that looked like. really really. really. really really really. 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 arms control so despite all kinds of issues between the 2 countries it is definitely fair to say that the 2 the leaders did make some headway at least on a personal level we even heard from the kremlin that donald trump's reaction to blatter approved his 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 that we saw another display of warmth when mr putin had our bilateral 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 putin 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 on pointed out that he believes liberal democracies can still do the world plenty of good a lot of our police response was well i'm ready to discuss that with you this brings us to. the end of long day one at the g. 20 more is still to come on saturday. and we'll have all the books for you as that takes place in the meantime though another meeting of the 20 drew attention that was the one between vatican putin and british prime minister to resign may it was the 1st time they'd held talks since that nerve agent attack against the script

files in march last year their knees was pretty evidence of stone faced my shook hands with the russian president let's take a quick look at some of the other body language we've been seeing so far at the 4. simply.

can't 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 it certainly seats a reason may and fatima putin very they're not friends. only to be told that we can see that donald trump that 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 cordiality very very structured and you can't really tell very if there is going to move in the

right direction yet or not of liberia putin gave an interview to the financial times just before heading to the g. 20 summit in japan some of his comments didn't sit very well with the british foreign secretary. there is also the so-called liberal idea which is outlived its purpose our western partners have admitted that some elements of the liberal ideas such as multiculturalism and no longer tenable various ideas in various opinions should have a chance to exist to manifest themselves but at the same time the interests of the general public should never be forgotten. this just shows what we're up against corbin at home and people trying to subvert our values from abroad our democratic system based on rules respect for individual rights and human dignity has created more happiness and wealth than any other way

of life anywhere in the world. slowly bemused about what's being attributed to corbin the u.k. barely scraping for top 20 global happiness index. what i find galling is that you are so out of touch with 99 percent of the population and probably actually believe that what you're saying is true fact check needed mr hunt while i obviously disagree with you kids not even in the top 10 happiest country. our democratic system don't make me laugh and your pm elected by a tiny minority of voters and the choice between hard right and hard right this is not democracy at all. let's go live now to ben harris quiney the chairman of the conservative think tank the bow group thanks for joining us so good to have you on today obviously caused quite

a stir haven't over these comments. about liberalism being obsolete why do you think it's caused such a response. well i think he's he's on to something and you can see that by the way the foreign secretary is chosen to focus on the question of democracy which i don't think is the question posed so it's perfectly possible to have a conservative democracy a socialist democracy there are many other forms of democracy in a liberal democracy and certainly what we've seen in the in the west over the last 10 years is people waking up to the lie of liberalism. multiculturalism since it has failed us as a project mass migration has caused insurmountable problems in many western nations and there's also a big question economically about the future of liberalism because what's really happened in the post-war period is that it's been

a barreling. to the to the public in many western nations say there's been new wealth that projects big health care projects that aren't really sustainable in the long term and we're now coming to a time when all of those things are starting to unravel and people are looking for new settlements and clearly there's a significant rise in the resurgence of the socialist ideas but there's a resurgence of conservative ideas as well and there's the ideas that you know i represent that are advocates between the 2 think it is and is increasingly being squeezed out and jeremy hunt's tweet was particular heavily criticized people mocking his quote there about democracy and happiness in the u.k. do you think that's the sort of response he expected. well i mean it's. bashing putin has has become

a real sports in in british politics and certainly from the start michelin leaders like mccrone and mirthless well. in what to europe but i think actually. what we're losing is saying the next waited so that the bricks at the use connects with movements like the bricks policy who are actually asking the same questions and are actually movements for democracy not against democracy so i think this throwing democracy into the debates is is a bit of a straw man because. you know almost every conservative that i know is a passionate leader in democracy and what we actually see is democracy only in the form of. it's taking place so this idea that liberalism and democracy upon pulse and want to not there i think is false and so i would

ignore the questions about democracy we all support democracy and the question is what's all this nation do we want. agree to some point to separate the political system democratic political system and values in a society model micron defend the idea of liberal democracy or perhaps what you ought to consider liberal values that western europe has that france has. i think leaders such as himself and merkel etc stuyvesant leaders would argue it still does have a role to play despite left wing right when the idea is gaining traction do you think liberal ideas could still make a comeback. yes it's perfectly possible but the difference between. liberalism and conservatism socialism is liberalism is the youngest ideology it's only really. been prominent since the 1960 s.

and so it doesn't have its that. history to draw or call and so as it is now in decline i think we can see it is in decline in the west and the question is was it ever really founded in truth or was it a see a restful academic idea that doesn't work in practice. what do you make of german comments that those ideas have produced the highest amount of wealth and happiness and development for societies around the world that sort of model based on the end of history by. those sorts of views do you think there is some truth in what he said that liberal values have presided over what many would see as a time of peace and prosperity around the world. well so chioma himself that's conceded to huntington. and has accepted that his his view of the end of history was missing correct. what was mentioned before the

period of liberalism has done is is. i think diverse it a huge amount of wealth to welfare programs to to keep people happy there was this idea in the in the post-war period that. you know it's people slow lives who are well funded and cultural they would they would cease conflicts which is a nice idea that it that it is not an idea that that there's streets economically in the long run so if you look at british history for example and the period where britain has been strongest wealthiest most prosperous when we have an empire that that's the globe who did this was not a liberal nation any stretch of the imagination and the united states when it became a superpower was not a liberal nation. and in america particularly i think there is that differentiation

between liberalism and conservatism which we don't have that britain we don't have in europe the americans that understand that liberalism is an anathema to conservatism it's not it's not similar. so when when people talk about liberalism having ushered in that the greatest period of prosperity and actually in british terms that's not that's not correct at all and also i think it represents a an economic collapse that that has an inevitable collapse at the end of it because it's not sustainable system here so many sides to this debate i'm sure we could go on and talk for another hour about this but we are out of time afraid chairman of a conservative think tank the bow group ben harris queen thanks for coming on today great to have you on. and one of britain's largest waste management firms before has been found guilty of attempting dissent 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 charlotte lewinski brings us more on 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 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 is that would do you 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 a moment like its welcome to the verdict the regulations we use were brought in to stop the west's manoli pos 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 digs justify our decision to prosecute big. bissette 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 are we strongly contested this case and are very disappointed with this outcome the materials we supplied commanded market lead in prices and we maj 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 otty high wycombe of disposing of other countries wage has sparked bitter disputes in the recent past the philippines for one is kind of the take back tons of household rubbish wrongly labelled as recycled materials the malaysian government also vowed to send back up to 100 tonnes of contaminated plastic waste to australia one and 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 going up in so-called illegal operations and these are called i'm

regularly. open burning and this opened. in a village in indonesia that's been a meeting destination always coming from australia from. the us we've seen for example. once clean or pristine agricultural areas and swarmed into dumping grounds. italian governments hard line immigration policies are in the spotlight once more or thirty's only italian island of lampedusa have blocked a rescue ship from docking with dozens of migrants on board the captain claims italy's done nothing to help them. but in that sense san francisco. people hope if you want to come out of harmony in a fund for tom do you get a phone box named bob it's not going to take us back home and after typing off the top $1000.00 love i leave here if you don't want to calm. the i

did loosen up a 2nd bite at. the charity organization 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 with more on the story his artie's paula. well migration is again splitting europe and becoming the new taste for your city's hardline migration policies roman says it will not take these migrants in and it 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 migrants 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 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 france germany because the charity that is involved in pushing this ship rescue together is based there but the 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 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 is 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 bolt on to land but there are still 40 remaining migrants on board. iran has agreed not to violate the rules of the 2015 nuclear deal that decision follows talks with representatives of the e.u. in vienna the agreements largely based on a new mechanism which will allow both sides to trade without restrictions russia also took part in the talks and stressed the importance of the result. i

don't want to give any medium term forecast 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. all these challenges to the integrity of the nuclear deal stem from america's destructive policies which have isolated it from the global community iran and the e.u. countries agreed on the implementation of special mechanisms which will allow iran to trade oil with europe now while iran will also reserve the right to increase its and reach the reigning with the other parties do violate the agreement the us unlike the e.u. continues to impose sanctions on iran or europe correspondent be a troll has 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 exceed the enrich uranium levels that would set down in the 2015 agreement it's understood that they could do that as a really is such today 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 of the united kingdom they put forward a mechanism called instincts which is essentially that to isolate european companies and the reining in companies from u.s. sanctions as they do business with iran the e.u. 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. seen a few 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 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 a spiral of violence that and in a war where 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.

side that while 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 allies i discussed 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 so this highly anticipated summit here in vienna has 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 what we have seen is these talks resulting in perhaps a little bit more life support for the tale. as that alliance for the south korea's
