captain. yes the progress. of the curtain has come down on day one of the g 20 summit in japan it's been a day with plenty of positives as well after the leaders got quickly down to business here's just a few of the highlights. one of the most important events those talks between vladimir putin and donald trump of
5:02 pm
course it was the 1st time 2 leaders had met since the publication of the report on interference in the 2016 u.s. presidential election healy up the trunk who has the latest. 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 they ended up in the room for the formal talks the jokes from donald trump just didn't stop flowing. into the. room.
5:03 pm
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 that looked like. really really really really really. really really really really really really really. misleading. 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
5:04 pm
glad to feel the readiness on the american side to start a conversation on stability disarmament and our. 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 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 and we saw another display of warmth when mr putin had a buy 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 putin talks when the
5:05 pm
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. rather putin's remark about liberalism which you had a moments ago didn't sit 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 are no longer tenable various ideas and various opinions should have a chance to exist and manifest themselves but at the same time the interests of the
5:06 pm
general public should never be forgotten. this just shows what we're up against at home and people trying to subvert our values from abroad our democratic system based on rule respect for individual rights and human dignity has created more happiness and wealth than any other way of life anywhere in the world. slowly been mused about what's being attributed to the u.k. barely scrapes into the top 20 global happiness index and 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 countries our democratic system doesn't make me love and you'll be an elected by
5:07 pm
a tiny minority of voters and the choice between hard right and hard right this is not democracy at all. one of britain's largest waste management firms has been found guilty of attempting to send 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 trash gave off like smell. brings us 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.
5:08 pm
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
5:09 pm
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. were brought in to stop the west's marilee puss in the problem draw the countries it was commonplace in the 1970 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 digs justify our decision to prosecute. before big fat remains adamant that he did nothing wrong and says the real problem is that he down to a lack of clear guidance for the industry overall was 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 imagine both
5:10 pm
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 r.t. high wycombe. disposing of other countries waste has sparked bitter disputes just in the recent past the philippines has urged canada to take back tonnes of household rubbish wrongly labelled as recycled materials the malaysian government vowed to send up to 100 tonnes of contaminated plastic waste back to australia for
5:11 pm
hernandez from the break free from plastic movement says developing countries are being used as dumping grounds. we've seen in cases. in malaysia for example where it's going up in so-called illegal operations and these are called. open burning and the slow open them in a village in indonesia there's been a meeting this initial always coming from. the u.s. you've seen for example. once gleam or. when swarm into dumping grounds. italian governments hard line immigration policies are in the spotlight once again or forward he's only italian island of lampedusa have blocked all rescue ship from docking with dozens of moderates on
5:12 pm
board the captain claims that he's done nothing to help them. but let's and. hardens you perhaps you want to come out hard on the other hand hold on do you have to confront boxen him give a happy shrug and on to chris and back home dr target after top of 1000 middle of my leave here be done but get calm. did not ask god to harm does this guy did loosen up the section by the charity organization which owns the ship says they've been caught up in a political game rome itself has reiterated that the moderates are attempting to enter the country illegally with more on the story here is. what migration is against this is becoming the new taste for it to these hard line migration policies roman says it will not take these migrants and it has reached out to the netherlands to become involved and to intervene in this because this is saving and . other. fine ministry said it was hearing a statement and
5:13 pm
a response through diplomatic channels but it did issue a statement in which it seems that it takes responsibility as a flag state but this does not mean that it will take. the my quickest at the same time it's useful to me a 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 of the expulsion of the crew and the removal of migrants from italy on board if these conditions are met i'll be happy there is a question about holland because they say they don't care that is their ship and we like the same way. those who are not 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 a whole measures for the disembarkation italian authorities and also reached out to germany and france germany because the charity that is involved in pushing this
5:14 pm
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 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 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. and other headlines are on the has agreed not to violate the rules of the 2015 nuclear deal
5:15 pm
following talks with representatives of the e.u. in vienna that agreements laws to brace the 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. because i don't want to give any medium term for car just 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 the global community will iran and the e.u. countries agreed only in the implementation of special mechanisms which will allow iran to continue to trade oil with europe now while iran will reserve the right to increase its enrich uranium if other parties do violate the deal the u.s.
5:16 pm
unlike the e.u. continues to impose sanctions on tehran our europe correspondent peter all of us been across the elements 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 enriched 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
5:17 pm
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 a proposal by the european union sides france germany the united kingdom they put forward a mechanism called in sticks 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
5:18 pm
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 have. from seeing 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 spiral of violence that in a war where in recent weeks in the gulf area we've seen attacks on oil tank is that
5:19 pm
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 soccer 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
5:20 pm
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 deal. and a woman in the u.s. who lost her baby after being shot is now facing manslaughter charges that story coming up after this break.
5:21 pm
just look on the text of national security truth is forbes countries simply ignore the w t o the reason fax a provision that says if a country feels the reason national security threats they can choose to stray from the principles now some countries are taking advantage of that it's the us for example of sees all these regulations mainly as a national security threat. welcome back to the program a woman from the u.s. state of alabama who lost her unborn baby when she was shot in the stomach through an altercation is now being charged with manslaughter police believe the woman is guilty for putting yourself and a child at risk for initiating
5:22 pm
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 marceau jones was 5 months pregnant when a fight broke out outside a store another shooter was initially charged with manslaughter but later acquitted after investigation found she was acting in self-defense police say it was mr jones who initiated the fight allegedly in a dispute over the baby's father and the decision comes shortly after alabama authorized the controversial abortion bill the legislation was signed in may it's said to be the harshest one in the u.s. it bans abortion at any stage of pregnancy even in the case of rape or incest and criminalizes the procedure both women and doctors it's still unclear whether the bill will become law miss jones has now been released on bail but the case has
5:23 pm
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 it should be interested in law and brown the move or historic stand for human life attorney evan turk however believes it's unfair that a woman could be charged for losing her child. it's a very interesting case where it's linking the rights of portion to. manslaughter under alabama's new abortion laws we're just going down.
5:24 pm
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 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 you in my. to see this case possibly overturn roe v wade so i think they're counting on the outrage.
5:25 pm
the u.s. congresswoman has been accused of staging photos next to a migrant 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 they've only now surfaced alexandra a cuz there cortez is shown you're a chain link fence looking upset over critics have pointed out no actual moderates can be seen and that she appears to be facing an empty parking lot instead of a detention facility was it to treat a car or the emptiness of the lot that made you so motional. grind that's in them to last yeah we really need to stop this such pain such anguish all the humanity cyc is just an empty parking lots. it's better know you can truly relate to. because there cortez has the nih and the photos of a stage to in a twitter post she lashed out at america's migrant policies claiming no one is
5:26 pm
being held accountable for the conditions in which children are being kept and comes after the lawmakers michael was heavily criticized for comparing the migrant centers to concentration camps back in washington in the meantime the humanitarian crisis has seen don't trump come under fire from the democrats especially over his plan to build the border wall however some of the images used to illustrate the severity of the modern tissue were actually taken during barack obama's time in the oval office we spoke to the director of political comment threw up cite reactionary times 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 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
5:27 pm
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 in deplorable as they like to say they think it's going to provide optics which will be beneficial to the democratic party in the view 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 coming up to 1230 here in moscow that's for this hour political news coming up next and we're back in about 30 minutes for all the latest global news updates.
5:28 pm
good food descriptions sound up to tell using even for the owners so how to choose the pet food industry is telling us what to feed our pets really more based on what they want to sell us then what's necessarily good for the pet turns out that food may not be as healthy as people believe and we have animals that have you know diabetes in arthritis they have auto immune disorders they've got allergies we are actually creating these problems and it's a huge have a demick of tom's all of them i believe can be linked to very simple problem of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets less treats the larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because they're already making it a $1000000000.00 on it and there's no reason to do that research.
5:29 pm
