most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america. donald trump says it was a great on a meeting kim jong un face to face in north korea but is a kids back home of squandering american influence also comes our in our state in germany 3 men are charged in connection with the sexual abuse of more than 40 children pleading guilty a lawyer for one of the victims tells us the authorities failed the children. it is simply unacceptable for a department to react in this manner and then try to cover up his own negligence and his pride month concludes a new poll reveals that young americans are becoming less accepting of gay and lesbian people.

good afternoon welcome you watching our international that making history donald trump has become the 1st u.s. president to enter north korea the north korean media and trump himself that the meeting an amazing event the reaction back home was far more muted if not outright critical vague talk about talks while kim continues to develop nuclear warheads and missiles seems like this gigantic p.r. stunt in trenches and embellish is authoritarian rule without any real meaningful strategy for denuclearization out president shouldn't be squandering american influence on photo ops and exchanging love letters with a ruthless dictator instead we should be dealing with north korea through a principle diplomacy that promotes yes securitate defense how allies and uphold human rights i have no problem with him sitting down with kim jong noon in north korea or any place else but what's going to happen tomorrow and the next day if we're going to bring peace to this world we need to move forward diplomatically and

not just a photo opportunities. well after crossing the demarcation line here between the 2 koreas with his counterpart kim jong un trump in turn said a lot of progress had been made during that saw sanctions against pyongyang do remain in place our senior correspondent mary against the f. explains now whether the symbolic meeting could affect the almost total economic blockade of north korea. for all the buzz hype and the coverage denuclearization was going nowhere it had stalled again despite all the summits all the handshakes perhaps what it needed was something crazy something radical. and.

the 1st sitting u.s. president to visit north korea who would have thought the world's most militarized border to boot they shook hands again and talked him draw movement trump trying to revive denuclearization efforts that were clinically dead made some progress so we had to start small form teams to find common ground little things that could lead to bigger ones and spoiling everything and as is tradition now of those sanctions they're saying on memory or something or look i'm looking forward to take in what i don't like sanctions bring on his country i'm looking forward but the sanctions are millions but at some point during the negotiation things going to happen and that's what we'll be talking about promises promises it was sanctions the torpedoed the last summit and the state says trump until there is verified denuclearization

progress however long that takes and that's what. bugs' north korea how can 2 sides have meaningful honest discussions when one of them is on its knees being strangled by the other 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 now factor in those thousands of u.s. troops stationed in south korea with guns trained in the north and you'll understand why trust is well it isn't their feeling young knows it's history too many nations that have gone through denuclearization with then invaded or bombed by the us i doubt kim jong un wants to join that club america fears north

korea is just needing the month to get out from under those sanctions they cade's of talks and the kids have stuck by their nukes we don't expect. to tell the truth that's why 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 it's not all doom and gloom though this is an ancient conflict by modern standards and this is never going to be solved overnight they need to talk and that's what they're doing and they seem to get it now that you start small and build up the big and hopefully sometime soon the world's most militarized moved dangerous border will well i better become any less tense but at least they'll be no nuclear standoff to worry about the style of negotiations that the u.s. is trying to impart here on these on these talks is that they want full compliance

from pyongyang before they will consider lifting sanctions. this isn't just about the denuclearization of the korean peninsula i believe that what washington is attempting to do here is build a template of negotiations that they hope will be successful that they will then be able to transfer a similar sort of arrangement with regards to iran and that is the u.s. wants full access to all facilities military facilities in the d.p. r. k. and they've already made remarks that that's a precondition for any kind of a deal with iran in other words to get them back on board with the j.c. p.o. way they want full access to all iranian facilities and they're not going to get that iran will not sort of compromise its national security to u.s. intelligence to that degree specifically with all the threats that have been going on. in germany now with 3 men have been charged in connection with the sexual abuse

of more than 40 children aged between 3 and 14 years old 2 of the suspects have pleaded guilty the abuse reportedly took place over a number of years at a camp site in the small german town of doing between them the men are accused of some $450.00 cases of child abuse thora teams have also come under fire the failing to act. of the majority of the abuse was perpetrated by a single suspect identified only as andrea's fi he's accused of almost $300.00 sex crimes against $23.00 children events is a believed to be committed in 1908 and then between 2008 and 28 the police are

accused of inaction in the face of mounting evidence of abuse over the years and the authorities are also blamed for letting evidence disappear back in february for example they did it mate losing almost a terabyte of evidence meanwhile one of the children's representatives says that the way the victims were questioned was in appropriate for their age and the authorities themselves also acknowledge there was a police failure calling the situation a tobacco the region's interior minister says this was worse than negligence and should never happen again we spoke to one of the victims' lawyers about the mistakes that were made. if you look we have seen numerous flaws the most terrifying is the disappearance of $155.00 c.d.'s from a secure police station we're talking about the c.d.'s which were found at the campsite in the main suspects trailer it turned out that the people with prior convictions for possession of child pornography were working at that police station

and still are as for the interrogation of the children they were questioned at the police station but this is not what should have happened there are specific ways in which children can be questioned and it involves support from social services and the establishment of a trusting relationship it should not happen as an interview at a police station that my opinion matters are allowed to escalate because of the careless approach to information on child pornography and paedophilia and the department's employees lack of awareness it is simply unacceptable for a department to react in this manner and then tried to cover up its own negligence . in other news a powerful blast has rocked the afghan capital kabul reportedly killing at least 10 people the taliban says it carried out the attack the afghan health ministry says 65 people have been injured police say a car bomb exploded outside a defense ministry building there was also a gunfight with security forces after the explosion the taliban says it was aiming to disrupt the ministry of defense is work its actors come 2 days after the taliban

and the u.s. resumed peace talks catarrh. the german government has promised to shut down all its nuclear reactors by 2022 sparking a debate about the energy future of the country amid frequent environmental protests germany is currently using a record amount of renewable energy with alternative sources covering almost half of electricity consumption this year but critics think it's a switching to renewable energy while phasing out nuclear power is too ambitious peter oliver of course. germany has set some targets when it comes to cutting emissions from energy production the federal government is committed to a 55 percent reduction in 1990 levels of greenhouse gases by 2030 when it comes to the climate in energy in germany things are heating up just this weekend hundreds of protesters broke through a police line to demonstrate against the mining

a brown coal in the west of the country. where do i know. it's 8 years since german chancellor angela merkel said she would shut down the country's nuclear power plants by 2022 in the wake of the fukushima nuclear disaster in japan the idea is that renewables like wind and solar power would take up the slack but when you phase out nuclear and the wind doesn't blow the sun doesn't shine you have to replace not energy in the grid and not is meant in more coal activists who are in favor of nuclear say the energy source is suffering from a bad reputation and that the decision to phase out nuclear energy is actually counterproductive to emission goals and that the decision was made for political not scientific reasons people are misinformed about nokia and they think it's extremely risky but just the opposite is true the reason for phasing out nuclear

clearly politically only science says if you want to go carbon free you have to use carbon free power sources and nuclear is the most effective carbon free policy last along with nuclear waste safety is one of the major concerns of nuclear critics the huge recent popularity of h.b.o.'s dramatize ation as the chernobyl disaster as against the safety issues brought so that is that this was clearly the most dramatic and serious nuclear accident. but. representative for modern nuclear energy it is not that accident which happened more than 30 years ago does not mean anything. to modern reactor technology it's not just activists that want to see the nuclear phase out next huge names from the german automobile industry have said they would like to see the use of nuclear

power extended also key figures in german business saying that it would benefit both consumers and industry financially and even members of angler merkel's own party have said they would rather see coal powered binde while nuclear remains however those that are in favor of nuclear power say it would be worth it in the short term to pay more for energy for in the long to receiving clean energy sources and lower bills to short term effects of course lee to increasing prices but these . increases are still affordable in the long term we would expect especially from tucson and showed you could expect. the same level of prizes that we had in 2010 that means in the long run we have a comparative advantage nuclear power could set to be phased out here in germany in the next couple of years even if renewable energy isn't at the stage to take up the

slack one of the reasons for this is the power companies here could back significantly or cut back altogether when it comes to research and development in the nucleus sector also once the decommissioning process has begun well many sites simply can't be used again that means that once nuclear is gone it's gone for good without having to build brand new prohibitively expensive infrastructure and what that means is well germany would have to import more energy from its neighbors some of that energy of course is. rated by you guessed it nuclear power. germany. still to come for you this hour is it game over leading computer console makers have signed a joint less riggins the trumpet ministrations newly proposed tariffs on goods from china will look at this in more detail in a couple. when

welcome back now as pride month wraps up around the world community in the u.s. seems to be divided with competing rallies being held amid claims the main event has become too commercialized the reclaim pride coalition held a separate march in new york with quote corporate floats and no police says the official event a longer address is the political struggles of the community under the trumpet ministration meanwhile a new report suggests a sharp decline in except since gay and lesbian people among young americans according to that survey in 2018 fewer people aged 18 to 34 felt comfortable

interacting with. paypal compared with the year before while the number feeling uncomfortable with a relative coming out increase. just more young americans also didn't like the idea of gay issues being taught in school on the other hand though the acceptance rate among people age 72 and over was higher than the previous year we got reaction to the decline in tolerance from a community representative and also from the author of the study. the least munisteri experiencing could be leading to this a version it's a new news to take time for people to understand our job is to educate about nonconformity we counter the narrative that young people are more progressive intolerant these numbers are very alarming in signal a looming social crisis and discrimination. act his brand and track assess that radicals are turning people against the community. our community has been overtaken by a very sort of extremist very political faction that has tried to essentially

politicize everything under the umbrella. there is sort of this more extremist progressive faction that has really overreached i think they've made a lot of people uncomfortable i think that a lot of people on the aisle to take community feel uncomfortable once it is put out into the country that is going to be the atmosphere that you are a racist or a bigot or a hate group or whatever who lives in infamy on the internet and so then other people in the future will use that against you to say well you can't come here we can't come here we want to live here because there's always there's already been in the south recently. now the leading make use of computer game console is intended to save money and microsoft will join forces against the trumpet ministrations new tariffs on goods from china. the video game console supply chain has developed in

china over many years of investments by our companies and our partners it would cause significant supply chain disruption to shift sourcing entirely to the united states referred country and it would increase costs even beyond the cost of the proposed tariffs on products that are already manufactured under tight margin conditions while 96 percent of game console sold in the us are actually made in china console makers they are 25 percent tariff could harm the industry and they want to the prices would then have to be heights which would lead to a fall in sales worth an estimated $350000000.00 a year ghana and technology expert game a story in technology expert auto movie told us that donald trump does underestimate how bad his terrace would be for the u.s. if we. president trump card on the stand oh i don't know 60 percent of adult population us i would be

a game players gamers community originated on the situations and we'll push a lot of pressure to mr trump and obviously the huge companies microsoft sony game go play in everything we shall love big early out a lot of influence for you $3400000000.00 industry around the world so i think this is very bad position from mr trump and obviously are hard low for gamers. russia and china have agreed 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 un burst on to a new deal that figure will actually rise to 50 percent the russian president 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 our own national currencies is moving along world well to cut their use of global currencies like the dollar and the 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 so if claims to be politically neutral but has repeatedly blocked access to russian and chinese banks to the u.s. sanctions russia and china already have their own alternative payment systems and they are working on developing ruble and u.n. financial instruments too and then in a similar development the u. has created a settlement platform called in stakes to allow firms to continue trading with iran by passing u.s. sanctions the u.s. has expressed its concern over the move by christmas is a professor of political economy he told us this initiative might go further if the u.s. continues its sanctions policy. 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 crime you know are still the global currency i think it will be a fight with the brics whether the u.s. will stand by and do nothing if the brics join the you know the china russia payment system 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 . slip from its fingers it will take counteraction overtly and covertly here to discourage it you know use a sanctions as 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 and if the u.s. continues with strong arming with sanctions whenever it wants something through

another country then other countries are going to move further in that direction. sweden sweden's liberal party has elected anything they want is a rising political star he could change the policies for chains. supinate has however shocked many with more on this his own court for some yarn kosovo name might have seemed perfect to lead sweden's liberal party she's black she's an immigrant but actually she's pretty inconvenient at least for a number of her colleagues who are leaving in protest. now that i thought ditto were i'm leaving the liberal stuff to 52 years as a member i've always been a social liberal and will remain so but with a new direction there is no place for me it is with great sadness that the fundamental social liberal values that have been so important to me in my political career for many years and now it's risk of being a voted in favor of a credit down invest fiji policy criminal care and perhaps even in social policy

areas it's all because sunni is just a little too far to the right sure she's been to gay pride parades even service sweden's minister for gender equality but when it comes to multiculturalism she said she wants to quote bury it in 2006 the swedish m.p. proposed job ban for girls under 15 and exams to stop female genital mutilation the book she authored shines a spotlight on the threat on or violence poses to women and now so one has even taken to criticizing sweden's handling of migration it has been shown that about half of those who applied for asylum in sweden in recent years do not have the right criteria for asylum the finances that should be located abroad remain in sweden because young migrants aris coming here thinking that they can probably stay anyway despite her controversial views on migration you'd think protecting females both young and old would be a platform anyone could get behind especially when the party's unity is so fragile

sunni's prime opponent even threw in the towel just to keep the peace my aim was always to unite the party but in a situation where many seem to want a different political orientation than the one i was seeking he would be receiving a split if i'd continued my candidacy and while his decision may have saved the party in the short term its supporters on the internet are not convinced i can't stand her i must not tolerate what she's saying she's the worst races in sweden despite her skin color. i've always thought the neon because the boonies too far to the right to be liberal now she is showing it openly this cannot be the way forward . because problem is that she wants to open the door for racists so they can form more is really a right wing government somebody might take all the boxes when it comes to the liberal party's commitment to tolerance but for some people there's just no pleasing them one quarter their national news rep for this hour you're watching r.t. our programs continue after the break. i

delivered at all of us but they must be good to see close. to the minute i mean going to. go they. gave me a little time. a week you know. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to be rich

. but you'd like to be close it's like them up for 3 in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the house. there should be more. exists is a sticker from the water bottle phone in the stomach of a fish the brand is spawns of the coca-cola company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that let's tell consumers there are the bad was there the litter bugs are throwing us away industry should be blamed for all this waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic. seats to cook out so 6 feet so. that seems cool sets for something there's less secrecy sikorsky on my end are you staying on your own such a special projects funded we tell the difference. on the i'm your best bet is the end of it for the team but for now the mountains of waste only grow higher.

papadopoulos his new book deep state. targets how i got caught in the cross has of the plot to bring down president trump details how he did time for deleting his facebook account he joins me now from los angeles george welcome to going on the ground if any before any of our view is think that you work with the russians mainstream media talking about that fee is just to say always in the book you make it clear you consider yourself an american patriots i'm going to begin. at the beginning of the book as it were but with boris johnson who's tipped to be the next prime minister here in britain how on earth did you get into a situation where you were asking an f.b.i. agent whether they had contacted boris johnson that's that's a great point and thank you very much for having me what you're referring to is a meeting i had with the moeller team in december of 20172 months after my name.
