turkey reaffirmed its commitment to purchase a russian at the g. 20 summit strong objections of nato and washington said the purchase is a problem very. few if you. track positive noises are heard on a possible trade. between the world's 2 largest economies the us and china. democratic debates in the u.s. to around 20 presidential candidates clashed with each other we look at that sometimes question time. and

a video showing danish schoolchildren being taught how to take part in muslim prayers public. debate the story. kids to know. yes i'm vice a versa. to violation of. rights. is 9 o'clock here in moscow and you're watching international live from austin with me. welcome to the program. being at the g. 20 there's one issue that's clearly riling the united states has admonished the turkish president for purchasing a defense system and called on to cooperate with washington nato presence on the side it's a problem that. to be resolved. you know different solutions and there's no

question of differences but if meeting with trying to present a had a sit down with putin the president assured that the 400 acquisition was a done despite the threat of. the 1st delivery of the defense system a shuttle from next month reports from the g 20 in osaka. deliveries of the russian 400 missile defense systems is big he bit here turkey is a nato member and this kind of deal is unprecedented america is furious it has been looking for ways to block the deliveries tiber don't want told mr putin that everything is on track and the deal is there to stay so. thank you my dear friend mr president we've given a new boost to relations between turkey and russia we continue to oversee the

deliveries of the s 400 missile system this is important in our country's relations and joint production of missiles although i have to tell you that a couple of hours after the leaders of russia and turkey met type where the one got to talk with donald trump and the american president made it clear that it is still a big problem for america and they are looking for all kinds of options to still try and block the deal of very busy day 2 it's like a real carousel kerns out that switching from trade war mode to trade peace note is a piece of cake that's at least how donald trump puts it i actually think that we were very close and then we something happened where it slipped a little bit and now we're getting a little bit closer who would be historic if we could do a fair trade deal we're totally open to you. totally open to it paying for

his part recalled the era of ping pong diplomacy which helped jumpstart u.s. china relations 2 generations ago he was referring to the exchange of table tennis or ping pong players between the 2 countries and here is another point that the head of the chinese government made on trade wars as well china united states both benefit from cooperation and lose in a confrontation. and dialogue better than friction and confrontation although right in the build up to those g 20 in japan the messages sounded absolutely different donald trump warned that he would slap additional tariffs on 300000000000 worth of chinese products if the trade war talks failed so we'll see how that plays out day one of the summit was packed with high level diplomacy but there was also

a fast share information and or quick moments.

ad of 2020 elections in the united states democratic presidential candidates have held 2 nights of debates apart from front runners including joe biden bernie sanders and elizabeth warren and 20 other candidates took part in the event. and it took a look at what they had to say. so with too many candidates for just one stage we have now seen the 1st 2 democratic presidential debates and it was quite a show or should i say shows and among the tactics used to get off to a good start with voters spanish this is almost. the persona and the legs you pull this to economy this president. will not solve most of them across in except probably have welcomed the autistic and when it came to the issue of minority rights the candidates outmaneuvered each other with identity politics growing up my sister and i had to deal with the neighbor who told us her parents could play with us because we were black as experience of being in

a marriage that exists by the. he says a single vote on the u.s. supreme court over the last 20 years i've been raised in a black son in america and a clear star on the 1st night told sigebert often dismissed as a fringe candidate got a lot of applause for her antiwar stance and many say that she actually swept a victory in round one we have got to have some presence there is this is how as it were up there long before we came in the end there yeah well we keep us in they were throughout the artists and now you could declare tells the gathered the victor by one clear metric she took the trophy for the most google searches that night after the dust had settled but that's after she claims she got less time than other candidates and even got attacked by a moderator she says that it's clear bias you were the only one who was essentially attacked personally by the moderators what do you think that was. look at shows

that there's a clear bias now the format of letting candidates just jump in at will certainly made for a rowdy evening one candidate says that he was treated unfairly andrew yang ready to start talking do you think a lot of jessamy there in my life is going. to you know the sort of thing where he does all the user talking well you know most of the deeds of the number is i goes on being like the others out there right. now the candidate who seemed to disappoint almost everyone was the so-called perfect centrist joe biden he didn't live up to his fighting joe reputation and that taking blows from almost everyone without much of a comeback do you agree today that you were wrong to oppose bussing in america do you agree i was 6 years old when a presidential candidate came to the california democratic convention and said it's time to pass the torch to a new generation of americans back and it was then senator joe biden deal that he talked about with mitch mcconnell who is

a complete victory for the tea party it extended the bush tax cuts. now despite the smoke and mirrors and t.v. lights the audience seem to actually be concerned about progressive issues it seems that despite the fact that the media is focused on personalities the audience in the american public is actually more concerned about platform when it comes time to take on trump. r.t. new york. no matter which candidate the democrats choose that they'll have to go up against donald trump we also republican senator richard black about the chances. i don't think that they that most of them said anything that really was was a practical suggestion to real world problems they certainly didn't seem to are excited anyone there are so impractical in trying to to get the

support of the most left wing elements of the party they're being driven into the arms of people who are so extreme that the american public is just i don't think you're going to go for them so at this point. something dramatic happens in the foreign policy arena i don't see any of the democrats posing a credible challenge to the president. a danish had lost a has received hate mail after that in the last online of the cultural awareness class or to school in the footage and was the boy can be seen teaching his fellow people how he prays that he was not intended to for the public to go because. the owner of. the principal said his school was holding

a get to know your classmate week and it promoting friendship and mutual understanding he's received angry e-mails that that is all such a reaction from a number of 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 they had some contrast in views on the story from stephen lawrence a member of the english democrats and the hamish chief executive of the volatile. they spoke to my colleague daniel hoare calls. i 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 in do faith yes i'm vice a versa is one thing being made aware but there's a different thing actually sit 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 what's the festival or a jewish festival i think that's fine because it doesn't say you know i don't think our faith where you where you are going but things were one of only 2 different things. that actually voted everybody said 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 are under schools. reaction they were wrong i just find their irony if i may say so stephen that you are referring to the european convention of human rights and your campaign to leave the. leader your opinion in so sorry i just couldn't resist saying that you and i are all right just because we don't agree with the you're on your human rights doesn't mean we don't we. just because we want to leave the e.u. we want to pull out of your pinko human rights doesn't mean we don't want human rights in england by far what you suggest is we don't learn the language we do just just come down my friend stephen reality is no more we same as a school and still are you at the school seems like it was sex education why don't you use or you could even write for there as well here let's be consistent and 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 the stomach community then let's look a bit further and look at all our history we've all got a dark history or since national broadcaster is accused of censoring a clip of powers johnson using clear remarks about the french ever rights that story and more after this break. crisis matter if it's i mean crisis and they sure. as the scale of natural disaster in their strike. neighboring countries. is that. he would japan. with a problem you say 2 substances which are rather big. and governments and

international organizations do not have enough. you know world's big partners. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. welcome back to the program the b.b.c. is accused of censorship reportedly cuts a clip of boris johnson using insulting language about french people over brags

that the foreign office reportedly raised concerns that it could affect diplomatic relations johnson who's now running for prime minister allegedly made the crude remarks when he was foreign secretary and to appear in a documentary according to the british broadcaster all judgments were made by the production team and it's fully satisfied with the result that was that the foreign office declined to comment on the issue. and as our senior correspondent jeff opposed there are plenty more examples of so-called independent media bending to the wishes of government. it's every journalist's fantasy. the breaker story soup being so monumental that it shakes continents and changes history and sometimes they get close to spying remember that when we found out about u.s. u.k. mass surveillance spying in one way or another on virtually everyone their own citizens included remember the brave journalists who broke that story the

journalists who inspired generations to question who stood up to some of the most powerful governments on earth i hate to ruin it but as it turns out they asked those same governments for permission 1st we have consulted with the authorities about everything that we have published media invited them. with well what a twist last week it emerged that the guardian's deputy editor paul johnson was allegedly personally thanked by the defense and security media advisory notice all the notice for doing such a stellar job in integrating the guardian into britain's security service operations given how much pride the guardian has in its independence and freedom the guardian is editorially independent meaning we set our own agenda our journalism is free from commercial bias and not influenced by billionaire owners

politicians or shareholders they want and it's our it's our it once it is our opinion this is important as it enables us to give a voice to those last minute challenge the powerful and hold them to account it's what makes us different to so many of his in the media of the time when factual honest reporting is critical over the challenge the powerful right after they ask them if it's ok and sharon instructions they get literally because they work together in the snowden leaks the guardian reportedly had to give the new york times advisory notices and how to best publish those sense it. leeks what they didn't know is that the new york times is added them like all strong and prestigious publications that pride themselves on their independence the new york times was already are asking their government if it was ok seeing this in the papers before snowden the government still julie guarded every secret nickel

nothing could come out after snowden so much stuff came out it was like everything came out this mostly stop asking and i think they now. we sit in a different position my question now is tell me why i should not publish and give me a really good reason otherwise i'm going to publish oh they're proud proud of their sort of independence and kind of freedom and never once to shy away from pointing the finger and laughing that government sponsored media. c.d.t. and is the most high profile component of china's reparative media expansion across the world whose goal in the words of president xi jinping used to tell china story well in practice telling china story well looks a lot like serving the ideological aims of the state what went wrong with our jazeera and how can it be fixed the guardian view on al-jazeera model in journalism isn't it ironic that the end of the day these all dimas poor scorn on state funded

outlets yet behind the curtains take alders from the very leads they claim to challenge sure sure it's for national security but facts are facts if you go asking for permission to publish a story you really aren't as free and independent as you think. it are in government has prevented a rescue ship from docking on the island of lampedusa with dozens of migrants on board the captain of the vessel has reportedly been arrested earlier she sharply criticized the way it is coast guard dealt with the situation. but. during the last 24 hours the 3rd is didn't take care of us at all and didn't take responsibility for the people on the vessel. the coast guard and the customs authorities the period they have come back on board and have asked us to be patient a little longer. the charity which owes the ship says it's been caught up in the

political game while rome has reiterated that the migrants are attempting to enter the country illegally. as long story. while migration is against europe and becoming the new taste for use for these hardline migration policies roman says it will not take these migrants and it has to see the netherlands to become involved and to intervene in the speakers the ship is saving under such flag on the stage 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 mike witnessed at the same time italy's interior minister said it 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. 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 there isn't 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 who 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 this ship has been in the mediterranean sea for the last 2 weeks and early 02 brothers will hold on to land but there are still 40 remaining migrants on what. 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 the actual pictures were taken last year in texas but of only now surfaced alexandria kasia cortices shown near a chain link fence the camp site however critics have pointed out that no actual eichmanns can be seen in the image and that she appears to be facing an empty parking lot instead of a detention facility. was it the trees or car or the emptiness of the lot that made

you so motional. griner samantha last year we really need to stop this such pain such anguish all of the humanity psychic is just an empty parking lot. better now you can truly relate to us. because you denied the photos were 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 it comes after the lawmaker was heavily criticized for comparing the migrant centers to concentration camps. back in washington the monetary crisis as 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 migrant issue were actually taken during barack obama's time in the oval office we spoke to the director of political commentary website 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 wall before they were against the building of a wall 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 of government in the united states they want to undermine him they want to try to inspire the american people to believe that what 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 beneficial to the democratic party in the variance of an election they attempted to try to do this last year during the midterm election i don't think that 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. how they back around 30 minutes time with the world level at that song to stay with us. my son doing drugs my nephews was still in drugs my sister just with doing drugs it was like an epidemic of drug abuse america's public enemy number one in the united states is drug abuse started going after the users in the prison population. we started treating sick people people who are addicted to these drugs like criminals while i was on the hill. the war on drugs. there are countless numbers of people who are in prison for. sins for

owner minor offenders in the drug trade it's a lot watching your children grow up and miss you in waves and say bye daddy as you're walking out of a business it's just it doesn't get easier. just financial survival. when customers go by just. well reducing lower. that's undercutting not what's good for markets it's not good for the global economy. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics school business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. thank you for think yes i'm going to accident the comedy show where americans in

america covering american news are called foreign agents now i know you expect me to tear into the 1st democratic debates but i'm not going to do it all right 1st of all because it's covered on every other channel and that's not we don't redacted tonight but more importantly i'm not going to cover it because it happened yesterday and much like swallowing a large chunk of plastic i need time to digest all right i need a democratic debate takes roughly 72 hours to get through my intestines and then i analyze what ends up in the toilet bowl. but there's a lot of other important stuff going on so let's get to it for example this week vice president and most homophobic man to be wearing that much make up like ben. did an interview with c.n.n.'s jake tapper in which tapper continually went after pence for having the gall 7 the nerve to support a president who is not currently bombing innocent people in iran why is it.

that you were initially supported the military strike against iran do you agree that there is a risk that iran will get the wrong message from the president's restraint as you put it way to go just a way to nail the trumpet ministration for being too restrained that's like telling hannibal lector he's too nice to have dinner guests. this is ministration that. according to air force central command drops roughly 121 bombs a day mr vice president i understand that we are currently dropping bombs on iraq afghanistan syria yemen somalia libya tunisia sometimes pakistan but why is president trump such 2 of pussyfooting base neck. with the flowers in his hair in the end it's always walk around barefoot i'm sick of it i'm sick of it. but

much like a man masturbating in the park jake is not done yet. i expect iran and our allies in the region have no doubt about the military capabilities of the united states of america which i when i think really that's probably going to pull the trigger is not a concern at all well yes to way to go and sun enough that we have sanctions on the country that are killing tens of thousands just like our economic forum venezuela recently the report came out said it killed roughly 40000 people over the past couple of years but c.n.n. wants to know why the secy president won't get his tiny hands bloody. this is what our corporate media does it make sure average americans think that there are only 2 sides of this debate right either get into a cataclysmic war with iran or be don't get into war with iran but still kill a lot of their people with.
