russia and of the us agree to a new arms control. trade as the g 20 wraps up and. the meeting was good and businesslike we discussed a whole range of interests to russia and the united states so we had a discussion we had a great actually we had a great discussion president putin myself and i thought it was really a tremendous discussion. make several concessions to china take the ongoing trade war as both countries agree to restart negotiation. parliament concludes that more than $20000.00 public sector workers are ad risk of islamic radicalization. over a video showing children being taught how muslims pray our guests the big story. is

important for kids to know the jewish faith the christian faith and faith yes i'm. teaching about what goes on. a. violation of the european. broadcasting. international i'm certainly glad it's. donald trump have agreed to hold new arms control talks and are seeking to improve trade relations they met at the g 20 summit which wrapped up on saturday in japan. what a coincidence on the last day of the g. 20 summit and also the president of russia vladimir putin and u.s. president donald trump having a press conference almost simultaneously different styles different choices of

language we know that donald trump loves simple words we even heard him say something like the lad is a great guy and the great guy himself was a bit more careful with what he was saying but the bottom line is that the 2 leaders are very glad with how they talk to. the meeting was good and businesslike we discussed a whole range of issues that are of interest to russia in the united states we spoke about her economic relations russia can see that american businesses are interested in developing better relations with russia and we had a discussion we had a great actually we had a great discussion president putin was so that it was really a tremendous discussion i can see trade going out with russia we could do fantastically well we do very little trade with russia which is ridiculous frankly so what exact steps came out or will come out of this good meeting leaders tast their foreign ministers with working on sorting out the disagreements on arms

control and this could be the 1st step to possibly signing a new nuclear agreement that is very important after the u.s. withdrew from 2 key treaties in the past 2 decades plus both presidents said that how much the u.s. and russia trades with each other leaves much to be desired and agree to come up with something to boost trade possibly create an intergovernmental panel for this and another highlight donald trump confirms during his press conference that he is seriously considering paying a big visit to russia in may next year after mr putin invited him for the victory day celebrations on may 9th so good talks. productive discussions these are the kind of phrases we always heard after the trump summits previously but what followed them was only more trouble between the 2 countries and also antiabortion

sanctions by washington followed suit so one of the journalists at the vladimir putin press conference wondered if the russian side brought the issue up during the talks and also whether a lot of our putin possibly asked his american counterpart to make sure that the story doesn't repeat itself and here's what mr putin's response to that was. we will definitely not be on the us to lift sanctions it's up to them but if they have good intentions we are ready to respond in the same way so we can improve relations the movers and shakers of the global economy were counting on donald trump and she paying to do something about the trade wars between the world's 2 biggest economies and there you have it after they met it was announced that at least for the timing there will be a ceasefire and the talks will proceed we're going to continue the negotiation we agreed that i would not be putting tariffs on the $325000000000.00 that i would

have the ability to put on if i wanted i have a tremendous relationship with president nobody else would have the deal that we were getting tens of billions of dollars from china coming in another thing that shaped out as quite a big story here in japan surprisingly was the russian contract for the deliveries of russia as advanced as 400 missile defense systems to turkey as a member of nato so this purchase was unprecedented and america was furious when they found out that the deal was underway and what happened here and japan was that the turkish president 1st reassured his russian counterpart that the deal was still in place however just 2 hours later. he heard from donald trump that it was still a big problem for america and that for them all options are on the table to deal with this situation now the surprise is that donald trump at his press conference

for the 1st time ever admitted that washington wasn't treating its allies in turkey fairly right president hurdle one he's tough but i get along with we get along great but what happened with turkey and i will tell you when it's fair when it's not fair he wanted to buy the patriot missile president obama's group said no i'm all for a country but he got treated very unfairly he was told you can't you can't but you know it's the old secret when you can't have something all of a sudden he has of going getting something else and then they were they said 1st they said we'll sell it to you you can have it in 4 years then they said we'll give it you immediately but he said you can't do it i've bought i've spent a fortune on buying another system similar system from russia that said for this year's g 20 the next one is happening in saudi arabia next year. day one of the summit was packed with high level diplomacy but also plenty of emotion and some awkward moments as well.

also at the g 20. between north and south korea before

a trip to seoul he made the suggestion on twitter and then repeated it during his closing remarks at the summit. was. very receptive he responded so we'll see because tomorrow we're going to the d.m.z. as. we get along. will be there and we'll see i don't i can't tell you exactly but they did respond very favorably. and it's very hard. because we've got a very quickly. north korean officials have called the u.s. president's invitation a very interesting suggestion but say that they have not yet received an official proposal to leaders have met twice in the past 12 months in singapore and then again in vietnam neither of those meetings ended with any breakthrough on denuclearization but political analyst. talks as crucial. president don't

bake so the. book something comes loose mind and he tweets he makes decisions he's sort of oh there's little of that alias pride of this but i'm policy is a boatload good idea the same thing you know i mean of course it would be great if they need to see that is a best. thing growing on to get him a good time again for the camera though and will they succeed to really to move forward to push forward well peace agreement between well between north and south korea between north korea and united states i'm not i'm not sure again. if the united states wants to do it that is there is a it can do is look all the doors are open russia and china have agreed to to increase trade in their own national currencies reducing their reliance on the u.s. dollar currently only 10 percent of trade between the 2 countries is conducted in roubles and one but under a new deal that figure will rise to 50 percent president putin raised the issue at

a meeting between the 5 brics nations during the g 20 summit. the joint work between the brics countries and shifting to trade using the national currencies is moving along well. to cut their use of global currencies like the dollar and euro russia and china will have to avoid swift which is the world's largest payment system it is used 511000 financial institutions in $200.00 countries and is heavily reliant on the dollar the organization claims to uphold political neutrality but has repeatedly blocked access to russian and chinese banks to due to u.s. sanctions russia and china have already their own payment systems which can be used as alternatives to swift and they are working on developing a ruble and you want financial instruments to boost cross currency trade and in a similar development the european union has created a settlement platform called instax to allow firms to continue trading with iran bypassing u.s. sanctions the u.s.

has expressed its concern over the move warning of possible sanctions against instax and the loss of access to u.s. markets. by to discuss this more we can cross live to a jack ross miss professor of political economy at st mary's college in california jack thanks for being with us here on r.t. international. my pleasure so how important is this agreement between russia and china right now to use the ruble in the one instead of the dollar and where could it actually lead. well it's only at the very beginning and we're talking only about 2 countries they're fairly large countries it could be a significant amount of the trade in non-dollar currencies or in kind but it's only the very beginning you know and even in sticks it's only the very beginning they are still the global currency it's the linchpin of the u.s. global economic empire and it's the main means by which the u.s.

engages in financial. arm the pulling and influence so it's not going away soon and of course the wing that the u.s. track sanctions pretty much is through the banks and they are stretched system and so forth without the dollar you couldn't have the swiss system as it exists now and you could have u.s. sanctions but we're only at the very beginning 85 percent of global trade is still done the dollar is still the global world currency in the is not going away most of the oil is traded in dollars crude oil so you know these are our beginnings and if the u.s. continues with strong arming with sanctions whenever it wants something from another country then other countries are going to move further in that direction but it's still it only at the very beginning of that whole process where you mentioned that other countries could start moving in that direction as we heard though putin has said that there are similar efforts going on between the brics

countries which are brazil russia india china and south africa. do you think that we're already seeing a little bit more maneuvering on that end even though that the world still relies on the dollar do you think that they are trying to look for alternatives. well i think it will be a fight with the brics whether the u.s. will stand by and do nothing if the brics should join the you know the china russia payment system. a wild card here too is the technology you know an independent payment system a based on block chain and crypto currency as you know facebook is trying to move in that direction and you can see the regulators coming down hard on it but technology may play a role here over time opening up and accelerating the process of independent payment systems and trading in other currencies but we're still at the very beginning of that so a lot of people don't know about the swiss safe system but it does account for the

majority of enter bank transactions how much of a challenge will it be to rival such like the whole i mean you've already just touched on this a little bit but it's a giant it's the behemoths in the industry. yes it is it's pretty much you know dominated by the u.s. and those that try to break from the banks of the euro banks or others that you know the u.s. will respond they won't be using to do it the u.s. is not going to stand by and let this the centerpiece of its global economic empire you know slip from its fingers it will take counter actions overtly and covertly here to discourage it but i think in the long run you know maybe these crypto currency is something that's going to be hard to control you may play a role i don't want to overemphasize that but the you know technology is going to play a role in this and we don't know exactly where that's going. you know 5 years from now we'll have a better better picture but politically if the u.s.

keeps on trying to enforce it's a reorganization of the global trading system and international monetary system which is under way now and keeps trying to use sanctions as a way of enforcing it then it's going to drive you know europe and other other places in the world in another direction so you know the use of sanctions is a short term weapon and game here for the united states in trouble loves it but you know long term it may come back and bite the u.s. if it pushes too hard i think well yeah you know you do bring up a good point there because europe pass a lookout for its own interests and right now with donald trump going unilaterally leaving the agreement with iran europe has gone to create the instax system specifically to avoid the swift system and bypass those u.s. sanctions against iran what impact could this have on the global use of the dollar

long term. well long term only if europe uses it in the general sense not just in relation to iran and course that's possible if they establish something like this but you know in the long run you know it would have to be much much broader development and more permanent i don't see the u.s. standing by in allowing europe to broaden this throughout the whole global economy it would become probably a bargaining chip here in the 3 way negotiations are for a way on on iran as that issue becomes front table all right very interesting area thoughts jack rest mass professor of political economy at st mary's college in california interesting to hear your thoughts i'll look forward to talking to you again as we as this whole situation progresses i'm sure will. a parliamentary report and france has found that $20000.00 public sector workers

are at risk of islamic radicalization or his boss there has more. it's a shocking as it is revealing a report on radicalization in the french public sector carefully put together by 2 french parliamentarians and now garnering quite a reaction from the media and politicians so what exactly does it say in total $29039.00 individuals are considered by the government as radicalized suspicious or vulnerable under different. factors the most radicalized of the prison and maybe call 6 has while it's a case in and justice are considered relatively safe less than half a percent of the army for example has been radicalized and then there are gray areas like sports and public transport where they say it's too difficult to determine exact numbers and yet still the report is disturbing with certain media outlets and politicians calling it shocking and demanding that the

french president emmanuel takes action. the report should serve as an electric shock and finally force in menlo micro to end this all could silence and reaffirm the place of secular friends has made a promise and reality is telling him to act should public service agents who are thought to be radicalized be dismissed this is one of the 2nd proposals the reports offers they should close office mosques and cut ties with arab countries that sponsor of radicalization we asked people here in paris whether they believe something should be done to i feel in security. and public places i see it this morning more so you see. one of the logs. jewish schools i don't think they do the right things i don't think putting cops in schools or putting coats in the trees will help you anyway i don't know it's image may share which oh are taken to stir fry to kill easily i don't think they're doing

it the right way i don't think they're really going to. causes of what's. pushing people towards this kind of radical acts. ahead of the 2020 presidential election in the united states the democratic hopefuls have held 2 nights of debates among a crowded field of field of 20 candidates were joe biden bernie sanders and elizabeth warren marty's kill him up and reports now on how the race is shaping up . 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 ness is almost. gone the persona and the exit poll is to economy and this president. will be one of the most immigrant places in except probably would welcome be 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 she because we were black as experience of being in a marriage that exists by the grace of a single vote on the us supreme court over the last 21 years i've been raising a black son in america and a clear star on the 1st night tulsa gabbert 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 around the 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. well we knew us and they were going to afghanistan 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. i look at it 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 yeah right is that the talking do you think a lot of that has i mean there in my life was the this. was a sort of thing where he does all the user talking like 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 and the american public is actually more concerned about platform when it comes time to take on trump. r.t. new york. severe flooding in eastern siberia has claimed the lives of 5 people and more than 300 are in need of urgent assistance this according to the emergency minister.

saturday was the 5th consecutive day of torrential rain in the province and more is expected more than 4000 houses are reportedly underwater roads and bridges have also been submerged severing transport links and holding back of the work of the emergency services president putin has told officials to provide housing for all those affected and begin repairing damage to infrastructure. to syria but of course that when you we all know the situation in these regions very well summer is short in siberia and winter comes fast if the flooding hasn't come to an end and the water is still here when will we build we need to do everything possible to make sure the people are not living in tents when the winter riots well look. a danish headmaster has received hate mail after a classroom video appeared online it shows

a muslim boy teaching fellow pupils how he prays and a video was released by an anti immigrant website. or the principal said his school was holding a get to know your classmate weekend of promoting friendship and mutual understanding seems good enough the video though has drawn 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 we heard some contrasting views on a story from stephen morrison member of the english democrats and mohammed shafique chief executive of the ramadan foundation. i think in the multi society should we learned by 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 sitting down or 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 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. actually very different really sent in 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 in the schools reaction they were wrong i just find their irony if i mr stephen that you are referring to the european convention of human rights in your campaign of the. leader 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 you on your human rights doesn't mean we don't we i'm gone let's get something just because we want to leave the you we want to pull out of your pay. human rights doesn't mean we don't want human rights in england by far what you suggest is we don't know and i'm

glad we do just just come down my friend stephen reality is no mo isa same as the school and still are you at the school and there is sex education why don't you use or you could even mix for that as well here let's pick 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 this topic community then let's look a bit further and look at all our history we've all got a dark history. yellow vest rallies have gripped paris for a 33rd consecutive weekend protesters clashed with riot police who responded with tear gas. was. was. was was. was.

was was since november 2000 a team tens of thousands of people have been involved in the yellow vest movement in cities across france they were triggered by a fuel tax hike but quickly escalated into a broader campaign against the micron government's economic policy. and on friday environmental groups staged a sit in on a bridge in central paris it was. as temperatures in the french capital hit $33.00 degrees and parts of the country reached a record $45.00 activists gathered to call for action against climate change them strangers from the extension rebellion group held in with the message tell the truth police used pepper spray and physical force to disperse them as they blocked traffic between 90 and 200 people are estimated to have been involved in the sit in the deputy mayor of the french city spoke to r.t. about the protests if you. reason most people in france have the same demands they

want to tackle social inequality and they also want environmental protection but the things that the government is doing for example restricting car use are not actually helping the environment a tool they are just creating problems. italy has allowed a rescue ship carrying dozens of migrants to dock on the island of lampedusa after a 2 week standoff ship's captain who is german has been arrested she faces up to 10 years in prison for allegedly ramming and police boat in the netherlands where the ship is registered earlier refused to accept the vessel it is the latest in a series of disputes between italy and the rest of the e.u. on relocating asylum seekers although rollman now so says that 5 nations have agreed to accept the 40 migrants on the ship those countries are believed to be france germany luxembourg finland and portugal. it does it for me i'll be back in about 30 minutes with more news you are watching international stay with us.

max geysers financial survival guide. housing bubble. oh you mean there's a downside artificially low mortgage rates don't get carried away that's cause a ripple. the reason that they have not attacked iran so far it's not that they didn't want but i would say that they couldn't do it thinking of a short and quick war with iran but i would say that that would not be the case trump said that if they wanted to they would have killed about $150.00 people in the brain inside but the question comes to me is that americans a time a country in the past by nuclear bombs do they really care about killing 150 people
