to know about the jewish faith the christian faith and do faith yes i'm vice versa it's one thing to teach him about what goes on get him to pray thus a violation of the european. broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is r.t. international. certainly glad to have you with us right now the curtain has fallen on day one of the g. 20 summit in japan things got off to a positive start no soccer as world leaders exchanged greetings here are some of the highlights. was.

to. was. one of the most awaited events was the one on one meeting between vladimir putin and donald trump it was the 1st time of the 2 leaders had met since the publication of the mahler report on the interference in the 2016 u.s. presidential election r.t.c. only up trying to has more. the big fat full 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. 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 save 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 miss you know. 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 on. 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 this 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 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 on pointed out that he believes a liberal democracies can still do the world plenty of good 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. but the mere putin's remark about liberalism which you heard just a moment ago was not received well by the british foreign secretary.

finally 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 and 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. slightly bemused about what's being attributed to corbin in 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 don't make me laugh and you pm elected by a tiny minority of voters and the choice between hard right and hard right this is not democracy at all. certainly what we've seen in the west over the last 10 years is not the. multiculturalism. style this is a project mass migration has caused insurmountable problems in many western nations . so the public in many western nations has been the welfare projects. 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 when people talk about liberalism having ushered in that the greatest period of prosperity. actually read in terms that's not that's not correct at all. and also i think it represents a an economic false that has a nervous will collapse at the end of it because it's not sustainable system. the european union has launched a new payment system aimed at helping firms bypass u.s. trade restrictions against iran brussels and washington loggerheads over the sanctions which were reimposed after the u.s. pulled out of the iran nuclear deal as deputy foreign minister has welcomed of the latest move from the e.u. . i don't want to give any medium term for college 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 the sanctions busting tool is called the european financial settlement mechanism or instax it establishes a new financial channels to allow iran to keep selling its oil on european markets the aim is to keep the 2015 nuclear deal live forcing iran to limit its nuclear power activity the remaining parties to the nuclear deal met in vienna on friday artie's peter oliver reports now from the austrian capital. 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 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 instincts which is essentially that to isolate european companies and the reigning 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 spiral of violence that in a war where in recent weeks in the gulf area we've seen attacks on oil tankers 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 deal meanwhile the u.s. senate has rejected a measure that would have restricted donald trump's ability to go to war with iran democratic senators table the motion to prevent the president from using federal

funds to carry out any military action against iran without congressional approval for republicans sided with the democrats but the measure which needed 60 votes to pass a short with 50 votes in favor and 14 votes against. it we can now cross live to geo political commentator alessandro bruno thank you very much for being with us here on r.g.p. national as always. so you. most senators including republicans have made it very clear that they do not want to go to war with iraq so why do you think that they blocked this measure. well some of the republicans blocked this measure because they didn't want to lose to the democrats but curiously when i heard the news and i put myself in donald trump's shoes i would have secretly wished for the democrats to succeed in other in order to relieve me of the responsibility this still has the ball right to trump it's still in his court and it's

a huge pretty decision to make especially as united states or iran have found a way to come to come to abandon the the there were like positions they're both on a footing not there it's like a chicken game you know the ones that you play in the countryside in united states to tractors come against each other who nobody wants to be the 1st one to give up and i think this mechanism had it past the current with the democrats winning in this case in the congress it would have relieved trump of that huge decision that he would eventually have to make. in some ways it surprised me that they're republicans could not think longer term that later so you mentioned this game of chicken that is effectively being played what everyone wants to know is

what effect will this have bottom line do you think this makes the conflict more likely. well in the past couple of days i have seen the situation soften down 1st of all we just heard from the new u.s. defense secretary who just went to the nato meeting here who that he does that the united states does not seek war with iran so they definitely there has been a toning down from previous message i believe a few days ago that he wants to he would a little obliterate iran in case of an attack the iranians and their hand have. shown their very capable of handling u.s. attacks perhaps that drone downing must have surprise washington. and the military establishment the companies that make weapons. to agree to greet surprised

everybody had the accuracy of the uranium and missile in. downing supposedly stealth drone and $130000000.00 piece of equipment down by something probably not costing more than one so iran shows that it has the technical means to. sustain a defense and it also has diplomatic means because it has hezbollah in lebanon which is perhaps the middle east most powerful single army. and the most the one with the most varied battle experience so iranians who may have complained about their government spending money on foreign adventures may now feel assured that perhaps that money was well spent because the country seems well defended and even able to sustain a fight with the united states in many ways this is frank than ing the iranian

government particularly the so called high. liners and they're coalescing the iranian population meanwhile the european mechanism for trade in sticks which was just made operational today right or yesterday june 27th has given more life to the j c p o 8 the so-called iran deal so i don't think the iranians will pull back from the deal and start increasing their raney i'm in richmond beyond the limits of the deal . and their deadline for that was july 7th so i think we have a little bit more breathing room to see how this mechanism will work we hope we hope that it does actually start to calm down in that conflict doesn't. it's very interesting to hear your thoughts as we watch this play out can we come back to you in the future and get more information from you of course are writing

you a political commentator are sandro bruno thanks for being with us here on our team . all right a danish headmaster has received hate mail after a video emerged online of a cultural awareness class at his school in the footage a muslim boy can be seen teaching his fellow pupils how he prays to god it was ok. oh. the principal said his school was holding a get to know your classmate weekend out promoting friendship a mutual understanding. the video has angered some parents though and drawn the reaction from a number of high right wing politicians. i am deeply shocked at the answer from the 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 we heard some contrast in views on the story from stephen morrison member of english democrats and the homage shafik chief executive of the ramadan foundation earlier spoke to my colleague daniel hawkins. think in the multi society should we learn about each is faith so we can have cohesive relationships i could 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 a versa is one thing be made aware but this is a different thing actually sit in on kneeling down and pray and in doing it it's a so mark i want experts of muslim to take. the the catholic. rituals go to a church it's one thing to ciccio and to show them well actually get him to do it that's a completely different thing and that's out of order i think the reaction has been way over the top alleys from the usual suspects people who like sean to anything

negative and any way that they could attack the islamic faith or the muslim community what they should have been doing was teaching the peaceful side of islam and yes there is a peaceful side of islam we agree but at the moment it's the extremist part that's taking over to celebrate a festival or a jewish festival i think that's 5 because it doesn't say you know i don't think our faith where you where you are going but things where one of. these 2 different things are. actually very different really sentence it's the school's fault in trying to teach people about different religions it's one thing teach them about what goes on but get him to actively pray that's a violation of their european human rights and it should not be gone. so that these very clear issues here under schools reaction they were wrong i just find their irony if i mr stephen that you are referring to the european convention on human rights in your campaign. your opinion in so sorry i just couldn't resist

saying that i'm on i'm all right just because we don't agree with the you're on your human rights doesn't mean we don't we i'm gone let's get something just because we want to leave you you we want to pull out of your pay. human rights doesn't mean we don't want human rights in england by far but your suggestion is we don't know what i would we do just just come down my friend stephen reality is no more we say mr skilling doing good stealing at the school and there is sex education why don't you use a you know you could even mix for that as well you're consistent to talk up our history i'm not saying my faith is not immune from criticism or challenge but you know if you're if you're targeting just to stop a community then that's look up a further look at all our history we've all got a dark history of. italian government's hard line on immigration is again in the spotlight authorities on the island of lampedusa have blocked a rescue ship from docking with dozens of migrants on board the captain claims

italy has done nothing to help them but it's the chance on 60 during the last 24 hours the authorities didn't take your facet out and didn't take responsibility for the people on the vessel. because current and the customs authorities the period they have come back in board and have asked us to be patient a little longer so the charity which owns the ship says it has been caught up in a political game while rome has reiterated that the migrants are attempting to enter the country illegally or he's possibly or has more. 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 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 said 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 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 surprise school together is based there but the lin 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 a swift 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 woman from the u.s. state of alabama who lost her unborn baby when she was shot in the stomach during

an argument is now being charged with manslaughter police believe the woman is guilty for putting herself am a child at risk. 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 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 investigation found she was acting in self-defense police say it was mr jones who were initiated the fight allegedly in a dispute over the baby's father the decision came shortly after alabama authorized a controversial abortion bill it was signed by the state governor in may and is the harshest in the u.s. it bans abortion at any stage of pregnancy even in the case of rape or incest and criminalizes the procedure for both women and doctors ms 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 has broad public support in alabama supporters have called it an historic stand for human life attorney evan turk believes the manslaughter charge against marché jones is legally questionable 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 in quite contradiction to the case roe v wade which is being decided by the supreme court i believe it's extremely unfair and on precedented that there are going to try to charge for the for manslaughter for the loss of her child in an altercation it 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 water if you in my opinion to see this case possibly overturn roe v wade so i think they're counting on the outrage the does it for me more news of the hour stay with us.

look. we're going to the 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 the big.

fellow i've come to associate cowen certainly shevardnadze what global economies speaking the language of sanctions restrictions trade wars world later this hour sit on common ground at the g 20 summit and suck up should a breakthrough expected while i ask until on the 1st step of the prime minister and finance minister of russia. the process of integrating the world's economies is stalling a trade war is looming between china and the usa western countries are holding up sanctions on russia but in the atmosphere of distrust is there still room for a global trade come back what needs to be changed in the system to prevent the global community from forming the parts and will change week rewards for every nation's economy. then so long as hello welcome.
