give me give you. the week you're. making history donald trump becomes the 1st sitting u.s. president to enter north korea was there for hastily organized meeting with kim jong un sanctions though on the clues of state remain for now an issue that's previously led to a stalemate in talks. i'm looking forward to taking the. i don't like the sanctions being on his country i'm looking forward to the sanctions remain useful also in the stories that shaped the week a trade war ceasefire between the u.s. and china and positive steps in relations with moscow and washington the g. 20 summit that scores a few hits. the meeting was good in business like we discussed a whole range of issues that are of interest to russia in the united states and we

had a discussion we had a great actually we had a great discussion president for that was really a tremendous discussion and a last ditch attempt to save nuclear deal with european signatories launch a new payment system to bypass u.s. sanctions on the islamic republic. live from moscow watching r.t. international having a great weekend wherever you are. donald trump made history this sunday by becoming the 1st sitting u.s. president to enter north korea he took the momentous that while meeting with its leader kim jong un for talks about a proposed just a day earlier of the power in the demilitarized zone that's a buffer area between the 2 careers they then crossed the demarcation line together

and then spent the best part of an hour holding talks chairman kim said he was surprised that the american president suggestion to get together was made on social media he did add though that he believed the meeting was important. with the trump for his part said he was delighted to have crossed into law. suits my honor. really expect. to 20 we came. over here. and we got to. step. out of. president trump has just walked across the demarcation line that made him the 1st us president to visit our country i believe just looking at this action this is an expression of his willingness to eliminate the unfortunate past and open a new future to break down the implications of the meeting our senior correspondent joins you know neil in this you. said to himself the speed is no longer for the

essence they're now talking about progress rather than speed so in that vein they've now come up with working groups negotiation groups from the north korea from the united states they can get together and they do try to find common areas whether they agree they're going to start meeting in 2 or 3 weeks so we'll see if progress comes from that but of course sanctions sanctions are the thing that really never that they're saying on memory or something and look i'm looking forward to taking the more i don't like sanctions but you know his country i'm looking forward to the sanctions remain useful but at some point during the negotiation things can happen and that's what we'll be talking about it is exactly because of sanctions that the last meeting between the 2 leaders north korean leader and trump that it came to nothing talks ended 2 hours early and afterwards this is politically quite depressing because there was completely nothing that came

out of that. as for north korea they have got the coup of getting a sitting u.s. president all to their line the 1st ever time what else what to do. here well donald trump said the north koreans wanted the sanctions to be lifted the completely and he said that there's there's no way that that is going to happen and now the north korean foreign foreign affairs minister came out and said no we are asked that we asked for sanctions to be lifted partially and that the united states demanded something extra. to denuclearization to to go ahead and begin lifting sanctions which he said is unacceptable this is a manifestation of the most extreme hostile acts by the united states all these speak clearly to the fact that the world dream of the united states to bring us to our knees by means of sanctions and pressure has not changed at all but grows even

more undisguised the u.s. senate and thursday passed a bill that would allow for the strengthening of sanctions with the with regards to north korea soon so you know there is a trust issues well that sanctions is the issue that this is the overriding theme is that is there any sense do we have an idea when they may be left or otherwise they're looking for concrete details concrete achievements before they begin lifting sanctions and they want them verified but again it's going to take time so denuclearization efforts progress to be put in place and then verified by the united states will then take that but as i said trust big issues we don't expect. to us a truth that's where we're going to verify any denuclearization that takes place that's why we will ensure that we see actual on the ground on the ground outcomes we're not going to take anyone's word for it this is going to take time and a lot of effort and they need to keep talking. a little commentator and journalist

john white thinks a significant step has been made but the trust issues between washington and pyongyang we difficult to overcome. and i think when you see the politics of gesture row the substance the north koreans will be mindful of the believe they were going to do a single fortunately began to dismantle some of your text you could test the facilities in the senate to see this or this or that triggers that it would be equipped to running out of the from the americans in the form of the lifting of some of the sanctions north korea's only through to the course and that was not the case of the time sanctions were actually taped and to do so the north koreans can afford to trust these gesture politics if so let me talk to some other sources so you're poor just mention the treaty and the 2nd in vietnam nearly this year and out of these sorts of come think of coming to ground 0 so the north koreans will be mindful of that loss will be mindful on the way the level of the americans are are going after that really and to lead the other key thing in

a regime change and actively. attitude towards the g. regime change in venezuela and well actually a concert of the ilk of john bolton and many. prominent positions in the children illustration trust is the key issue. diplomacy efforts only coming to the fore this week in moscow and washington are also edging towards a better relations it seems that president putin and trump agreed to hold new arms control talks this occurred at the g 20 summit which wrapped up on saturday in japan in a prank i was in a saga for us he talks us through that and the other big developments to. you may like it or not but the g 20 year round table is in the biggest summit attention grabber the reality is that everyone is keen to know what happens at the so-called buy alas and the one that the media was hungry for the most happened on friday the face to face between donald trump and vladimir putin's one and

a half hours behind closed doors or wait the journalists were there just for a little bit at the very beginning not to the delight. mr trump. and to what cleese trauma to make american journalists leave him alone on one particular matter donald trump said this. was. a very. soon after time after time the president's kept repeating how happy they war with how they got along the meeting was good and businesslike we discussed the whole area of issues which are of interest to russia

and the united states we spoke about their economic relations russia sees the american businesses their interest in developing better relations with russia we had a discussion we had a great actually we had a great discussion president putin most of 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 from now on the top diplomats of russia and america will be working together on a new framework for global arms control plus the administration's agree to join afterwards to boost mutual trade and donald trump is considering coming to moscow in may next year he was invited there for the victory day celebrations another leader who got an invitation by the kremlin was emanuel macron and as we found out here and. mr mccausland won't have

a problem with saying hello when he comes to russia. here. so as you can see great vibes that that late night meeting to like when putin was with you case to resume a for the 1st time in 3 years london is set to remain cold war mode with moscow the good news though is those who were in panic mode because of us china trade wars can breathe with relief for now 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 it if i wanted to 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 and donald trump xi

jinping bilad work its magic no new import tariffs for the time being and further talks to try and and the trade wars all together now everyone who is really making this planet spin angle on. mohamed. and aired on who by the way heard for the 1st time from donald trump that washington wasn't treating fairly sometimes got their fair share of headline making and we as journalists got to notice quite a few amusing moments here and osaka. the

european union has launched a new payment system aimed at helping its firms bypass u.s. sanctions on iran brussels is at odds with washington after the u.s. unilaterally ditched the 2015 landmark nuclear accord and reintroduced strict trade the structure and the sanctions busting tallest called the european financial settlement mechanism otherwise known as inspects washington has threatened to sanction any country that buys oil from iran through responded by saying it will increase production of low enriched uranium to near weapons grade levels if it's

not guarded from the u.s. sanctions america's campaign of maximum pressure on to iran doesn't and there iran's foreign minister has accused on trump of violating international law with his threats to obliterate iran but trump should remember that we don't live in the . united nations tried to and threat of force is either. on tuesday mr trump threatened iran with obliteration if to iran attacks anything american when asked about the possibility of a war with iran he boasts that it would be a quick affair but added he doesn't see conflict on friday the u.s. cents more stealth fighters in the persian gulf increasing its military deployment there you present the president of iraq was among those to speak out against it he warned the u.s. won't be allowed to use his nation to launch any kind of military action against neighboring countries. the american troops the coalition troops in iraq again at

the invitation of the iraqi government for the specific exclusive mission of fighting isis we do not want to be a staging post for any hostile action against any of our neighbors including iran or us secretary of state from power made it clear he says it won't be down to anything the united states has done and if conflict does break out. america's done everything it can to deescalate if there is conflict if there is war as there is a kinetic activity it will be because the iranians made that choice of course europeans have their own grievances when it comes to donald trump and nato but the when it comes to iran they sure are some of these concerns or alleged concerns with regard to iran's nuclear industry missile in this regional power and so on and so forth it is widely believed the europeans are not going to take action and they just want iran to continue providing you know playing this role and complying with

us on the takings in a win lose game there didn't clear deal you know the nuclear deal was to be a win win game but what we see now is this 0 sum game with iran paying the costs europeans and americans you know living their merits and iran believes that it should either be a win win or lose lose game therefore if you are all here do not rush to provide to iran with some hope i believe busy eventually. there will have a. problem in their ties with iran next coming up a washington power sparks outrage in pakistan by challenging traditional values and promoting gender equality that story and more still to come.

you know world big partisan lot and conspiracies it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks. make this manufactured consent to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round be the one percent.

nor middle of the room. real news. welcome back to the program a washing powder adverse triggered a gender equality or our in pakistan that's off the consumer goods john proctor and gamble opted to show women taking on traditionally male roles. a lot a lot of reaction on social media some people have been calling on authorities to

take action against the brand. we're muslim and we love our culture religion and no rituals the government should take strict action against ariel bron i miss my request to my dear pakistanis that please boycott ariel the soonest possible because religion comes 1st and this is our responsibility to protect our religion because prime minister of pakistan we want ariel cloth washing detergents banned in pakistan immediately for driving and spreading anti islamic campaigns through media we lost a number of social commentators whether the detergent was right to push the boundaries of religious and cultural norms in pakistan. i don't think it's a big u.s. companies job to insert themselves into pakistani culture or if it was women speaking up against their own culture that would be one thing but i feel that it's very wrong for a western company to come in and insert themselves in a culture that maybe isn't adapted the same way that american culture has in

a lot of these women it has been their position and their desire to see a change within their country their desire has been for women to have more rights to you know education to financial stability financial empowerment that's come from within the culture so for these women to be on the commercial simply gives them a platform to add enhanced their voice that they've already been using this kershaw may set back that agenda this commercial may set back that initiative for these women this commercial may create children are you married at the age of whitney a gala can it be i understand how much that we're not sure brady in our years here did in order to have marilyn company in jail getting them said are willing to you know why why you came saying how i see any women i think they're really pushing the envelope when they're dealing with sharia law and just like i don't want sharia law to come here to what america and take over my western american values i don't

necessarily think i think it's a very calm. taishan all to go into a country that does have shari'a and insert western values there has never in the history og i'm just curious if you're learning nowadays that any type of all your knowledge about without women or men read were willing to speak up you're not going to acknowledge if we were in america in the 19th 28 were you mad about women sitting up it was not america up again it's not america if we were in america at its peak you would tell what is in and out american to speak up against the lavery because it would put people at risk of being lynched. the un special rapporteur on torture has once again ha it is concerns over the case of julian a song this week you accuse the media of ignoring the alleged inhumane treatment of the wiki leaks founder by refusing to publish an article he wrote about his findings. argues that julian assange has been slandered to divert attention from the revelations that we can leaks help to expose he also says the whistleblowers

been deprived of his fundamental rights and suffered a fully fledged psychological torture during his time in the ecuadorian embassy in london we spoke to mr meltzer you told us why he thought many media outlets have refused to publish his article. some of them said it wasn't high enough on their news agenda some of them said bad it was not within their core area of interest but you know there have been reporting all of them on the case of doing a song when it was about his cat and his skateboard and kind of the allegations that you smeared excrement on the walls but when you have a serious piece that actually tries to damascus. this public narrative and to actually show the facts below it then the modern trusted dude in a song is currently serving a 50 week sentence in the u.k. for skipping bail back in 2012 he's also expected to face a u.s. extradition hearing in february next. last month for mr meltzer hala. that

a song is prison conditions as a major concern the whistleblower was said to show an alarming deterioration in his mental and physical state the u.k. responded by saying meltzer was wrong to interfere and should leave it to british courts to make their judgments and he has no smell so once again on his visit to assad and his condition. i knew that i was going to get into a very politicized environment when i visited during the sunday i didn't know him before so i took with me to experience medical experts of psychiatry and the forensic expert and have worked for decades in examining torture victims just to go to the objective scientific and medical basis for my assessment and what they found is a person who shows all the symptoms that are typical for a person who has been exposed to prolonged psychological torture he has been exposed to public mobbing now that's a slippery slope you know we're going to be in a debate when it's 2 side it's been more being basically something like mudslinging

that's not torture yet but when you start exposing a isolated individual who cannot defend himself to a sustained campaign of shaming of humiliation or for ridicule of even death threats and calls for his assassination and he's completely isolated then that can cause severe psychological trauma the news media listed by nelson meltzer i get to respond to requests for comment from r.t. in the meantime though if you do want to read the article for yourself head to calm you will find all the materials that that's all from us for the sour back in 30 minutes time of all the latest headlines for you to join us again.

good food descriptions. even for the owners so how to choose this pet food industry is telling us what to feed our pets really more based on what they want to sell us and was necessarily good for the pet turns out may not be yourself the people believe we have animals that have you know diabetes in arthritis they have auto immune disorders allergies we are actually creating these problems it's a huge epidemic of problems all of them i believe can be linked to very simple problem of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets streets the larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because they're already making

a $1000000000.00 on it and there's no reason to do that research. you know what i i don't want to talk to a communist news agency forgive me we'll have to find someone to. lower the trying to stay with this one stick of meaning of the going to go to just like the jews go through is exactly when my father. more is on the ball. so i needed a week if you saw me live that our media is on stand for that which. we
