donald trump becomes the fossa u.s. president and to north korea meet him kim jong un and the team a try so sanctions against pyongyang remain in place i'm looking forward to taking the ball i don't like the sanctions being on his country i'm looking forward but the sanctions remain in the us. and in the stories that shape the week rival wild powers seek to overcome that differences out to keep 20 summit in japan with all eyes on a meeting between the needs of the u.s. and russia. the meeting was good and businesslike we discussed a whole range of issues that are of interest to russia and the united states so we had a discussion we had a great actually we had a great discussion a prisoner to myself whether it was really a tremendous discussion on the e.u.

launches a new payment system to bypass american sanctions against iran in a bid to save the $20000.00. with the top stories from the past 7 days in the latest developments as well this is the week to be on our national. and fost donald trump made history on sunday becoming the fust sitting u.s. president to enter north korea he shook hands with kim jong un in the demilitarized zone before the 2 the it was walked across the demarcation line into the north trump proposed the meeting just a day in a tweet up to speaking for almost an hour and stepping 3 feet into south korea trump and kim held it as a breakthrough moment. since my honor. i didn't really expect the spirit of the g 20 we came to they did. over here i want to hold your hand we got 3.

steps to go 1st that was agreed on a lot of records. to give president trump has just walked across the demarcation line that made him the 1st u.s. president to visit our country i believe just looking at this action this is an expression of his willingness to eliminate all the unfortunate past and open a new future. despite the symbolic meetup north korea remains under almost total economic blockade due to u.s. led sanctions a senior correspondent discussed the situation with my colleague neil here in the studio earlier today. trump 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 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 everything they're saying on memory or something or look i'm looking forward to taking what i don't like sanctions but you know his country i'm looking forward but 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 on to their land the 1st ever time what else what do they want to hear what donald trump said the north koreans want to do sanctions to be lifted

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 an acceptable this is a manifestation of the most extreme hostile acts by the united states all of you 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 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 lifted or otherwise they are 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. but as i said trust big issue we don't expect. to of the 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 political commentator john white thinks that despite these let this latest step forward there is still a deep distrust between washington and pyongyang. and i think when you see the wrist politics of gesture rather than substance the north koreans will be mindful

of the greed of the believe they were trapped after a single fortunately began to dismantle so many of text you could test the facilities and the sanitation facilities or the trainers that there would be a quid pro quo running out of the from the americans in the form of the lifting of some of the sanctions north koreans only through to their course and that was not the case in the tank sanctions were actually taken to do something north koreans can afford to trust these gestures politics any farther we've got to some of us forces in singapore just mention the treaty and the 2nd in vietnam ala this year and out of these incidents or come to think of come up with grams you don't just walk so the north koreans will be mindful of that law so be mindful on a way the level of the way the americans are are going after the iranians in the lead they've been advocating a regime change and actively openly agitating towards reaching regime change in venezuela and well actually a concert of the ilk of john bolton and michael micro-manage positions in the trump organization trust is the key issue. a troubled relationship between the u.s.

and russia was also in the spotlight this week as well as got together at the g. 20 summit in japan only with a following or perhaps and for us in a saka. you may like it or not but the 20 year round table isn't the biggest summit attention grabber the reality is that everyone is keen to know what happens at the so-called buy a last 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 of mr trump.

and to a cleese trying to make american journalists leave him alone on one particular matter donald trump said this. was. going to bring 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 business we discussed a whole area of issues which are of interest to russia and the united states we spoke about their economic relations russia sees that american businesses are interested 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 train 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 emmanuel macron and we found out here and saw mr mccall and won't have a problem with saying hello when he comes to russia. 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 an 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 on if i wanted i have a tremendous relationship with the president nobody else would have the deal that we were getting tens of billions of dollars from china coming in indeed donald trump xi jinping bilad worked 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 maracle shinzo abi mohamed bin. 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 by a lads and we as journalists got to know. quite a few amusing moments here and osaka. the european union has launched a new payment system aimed at helping farmers buy pos u.s.

sanctions against iran it's called the european financial settlement mechanism all in stacks and allows funds to avoid u.s. trade restrictions which were reimposed off to washington's withdrawal from the 2015 and a deal washington has condemned the european move warning that farms that use the new platform could be barred from the u.s. financial system meanwhile iran's foreign minister has accused the us of violating international law with its latest threats against his country president trump should remember that we don't live in the. united nations road trip through force. was referring to donald trump's threat to obliterate iran if terror on attacks anything american and when asked about the possibility of what the u.s. need to post it it would be a quick. iraq which has a border with iran and has thousands of american troops has voiced its a nominee for the standoff the iraqi president said his country will not be used as

a staging ground for any kind of military action. 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 however the us secretary of state mike compare claims that iran has full responsibility for. america's done everything it can to deescalate if there is conflict if there is war if there is a connecticut came and it will because the iranians made that choice of course europeans have their own grievances when it comes to donald trump and nato but when it comes to iran they sure 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 in 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 be a win win or lose lose game therefore if you are all here do not rush to provide one with some hope i believe busy eventually. there will have you no problem in their ties with iran. and a washing powder that has outrage in pakistan by promoting gender equality that story and more after the break.

what politicians do such as needing. to put themselves on the line. they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to be rich . but you'd like to be close to see what the $43.00 of them all completely. understood all those in the logs of. the boat.

seemed wrong wrong just don't all. get to shape out. and engagement because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. welcome back now an aerial washing powder commercial has triggered outrage among religious conservatives in pakistan it shows women taking on traditionally male roles.

they add to a strong reaction on social media with some people calling for action against procter and gamble the us fans behind the aerial brand boycott burial were muslim and we love our culture or religion and our rituals the government should take strict action against ariel brand i miss my request to all my dear pakistanis that please boycott ariel the soonest possible because religion comes 1st and this is our responsibility to protect our religion boycotts ariel prime minister of pakistan we want aerial cloth washing detergents banned in pakistan immediately for driving and spreading anti islamic campaigns through media we asked our guests for that take on the television tad and how far foreign companies should go in pushing religious boundaries. 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 and 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 kirshner 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 would it be a gallon can it be i understand how much but we're not sure. that it is an american

company inhaling them said oh are willing to you don't want to buy it you claim 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 america and take over my western american values i don't necessarily think i think it's very confrontational to go into a country that does have shari'a and insert western values there has never in the history i'm just curious if you're going to acknowledge any type of knowledge that without women in america who are willing to speak you're not going to acknowledge if we were in america in the 1928 if it were not about women sitting up there is not america again is not america if we were in america at its peak you would tell that it is not a marilyn to speak up against slavery because it would put people at risk of being lynched. and finally the un special rapporteur on torture has voiced concern.

over the treatment of julian a son who is serving prison time in the u.k. in a report no smiles argues that the wiki leaks founder has been slanted by the media to divert attention from the crimes exposed by wiki leaks he also claims his songe was subjected to psychological torture during his 7 years inside the ecuadorian embassy in london mr moussa told us why he thinks media outlets refused to publish his article. some of them said it wasn't high enough on their news agenda some of them said that it was not within their core area of interest but you know there have been reporting all of them on the case of julian assange when it was about his cats and his skateboard and kind of the allegations that he smeared excrement on the walls but when you have a serious piece that actually tries to damascus this this public narrative and to actually show the facts below it then they're not interested. judith on just carter's 1000 a 15 month sentence in the u.k.

for skipping bail and 2012 he is expected to face a u.s. extradition hearing in fabry next year. last month mr moussa highlighted some just prison conditions as a major concern on the witness found it was said to show an unarmed deterioration in his mental and physical state the u.k. responded by saying moussa was wrong to interfere and should give it to british courts to make that judgments has mills miles again on his encounter with the songs i knew that i was going to get into a very politicized environment when i visited julian assange i didn't know him before so i took with me 2 experienced medical experts of psychiatry and the forensic expert that have worked for decades in examining torture victims just to go to the objective scientific 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 is 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 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 mills miles have not yet responded to a request for comment from ati but for a closer look at the un raw findings on a report on a songe head to dot com. well that's how our news roundup looks for now will be here with more in touch minutes i hope you'll join me then next the one ought to international documentary pet fold.

as of 2013 the pet food industry was dominated by only 5 more titan glamour companies. you know when a consumer walks into a store it's easy to assume that there is a vast array of choices for their dog or cat and the ability to choose that one perfect food. but just how different are these choices and what's really going on inside of those bags is what's inside really as healthy as the shiny outside labeling would have you believe. it is. famous here in fact going to into creative veterinarian bourbonnais illinois.

this is a commercially available raw food diet this is what i am i'm also going to give the boys in a. great 1st approach. is a. very dire. thing is it. so there's a problem in the pet food industry and most pet owners aren't aware that there's a problem and unless you have an interest in digging deeper and finding out what those issues are you can go through your whole life eating the exact same food assuming what you're doing is healthier pat and once you start digging the evidence becomes overwhelming that the industry has significant issues. the human animal relationship is deeply embedded in our society.

it is estimated that 80000000 dogs are in the united states with 96000000 cats. americans alone spend an estimated $60000000000.00 on pet expenses every year and that number is growing exponentially. it's always a 1st thought the buy something your pet will why something that will make them happy and live a healthy life we give them exercise clean water and lots of love. we've always purchased food from a grocery store or a pet food store that provided convenience the promise of nutrition in familiarity with the brand. the industry at large survive for nearly 100 years without a single thought from consumers as to what was going into the pet food. that all changed in 2007 when a toxic ingredient made its way into pet foods killing thousands of pets nationwide

melamine is used as a fertilizer in asia and also has several industrial commercial uses including a component of kitchen utensils and plates the association between melamine in the kidneys in urine of cats that die and the melamine that was in the food they consume is undeniable additionally melamine is an ingredient that should not be in at food at any level. following the 2007 recall one central question began to resonate among consumers. what are dogs and cats actually supposed to eat it's confusing because the pet food industry is telling us what to feed our pets really more based on what they want to sell us than what's necessarily good for the pet she is oprah winfrey is about mary and now an author and her new book is called their warrior treatment please welcome dr barbara well good morning.
