should be unacceptable for a department to react in this manner and then try to cover up the sort of negligence. a very warm welcome to you watching r t international with mina care and. making history donald trump has become the 1st sitting u.s. president to enter north korea and the north korean media and trump himself stops the meeting an amazing event the reaction back home was far more muted if not outright for sickle. vague talk about talks well kim continues to develop nuclear warheads 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 us securitate defense how allies and uphold human rights i have no problem with him sitting down with kim to noon in north korea or anyplace else by 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 after crossing the demarcation line between the 2 koreas with his counterpart kim jong il and translate a lot of progress that's been made during that talks but sanctions against pyongyang remain in place our senior correspondent county of explains where they seem polic meeting could affect the almost total economic blockade of north korea. 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. like.

okuma. 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 kim jong un and trump trying to revive denuclearization efforts to put clinically dead made some progress with the start small former team is the prime cause. on the ground little things that could lead to bigger ones and pointing everything as is tradition out of those sanctions this thing on memory or some point look i'm looking forward to taking the more i don't like sanctions being on 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 promises promises it was sanctions the torpedoed the last summit and the state says trump until this verified clear eyes ation 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 needed in the month to get out from under those sanctions decades of talks and the kids have stuck by their nukes we don't expect germany to tell us 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. 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 dangerous board the world well i bet on the become any less tense but

at least they'll be no nuclear standoff to worry about i think it's like you just tell him you can just leave superficially he is trying to denuclearize the world a lot he's actually serious even if the superficial aspect tweeting tweeting. going on there also a lot of people who support trump in the state department lot of people i'm not talking about goals things of this world i think he probably needs those and there's a sort of union surely world we can control people like that so trump is in the middle o'keeffe times right in the middle there i don't think he's doing a bad job however seattle for it looks but it is historic i mean stepping over that 3936 parallel for take some guts i have to say. chaotic scenes in hong kong riot police of 5 take outs as protesters end of their occupation and vandalism of the central chamber of parliament rioters got into the

building after smashing a glass door with a trolley despite being pepper sprayed by offices. i. was like oh. thank. god. this monday marks 22 here since hong kong's handover from britain to china back to the anniversary has been overshadowed by weeks of demonstrations against a new extradition and brutal police force. phones to the rallies if passed the bill would allow beijing to seek the extradition of those convicted for serious crimes from hong kong to mainland china supporters of the bill say it will stop the territory from becoming a refuge for criminals however many fear it will need to political persecution from beijing and undermine the area's autonomy. portions foreign secretary has waded in

with an anniversary statement warning china to respect hong kong's autonomy but beijing reminded him to stop meddling. home. in this internal of no foreign country has the right to that of the were urged britain to know its boysen to stop interfering in any way in hong kong matters and to focus on the respect due to instability rather than the opposite guests bethel's on the u.k.'s reaction. what jimmy hunder stealing bases because the election is the prime minister e's preaching and then he need to show you steve falters and the british public that he's doing the right thing here and he's trying to be the i join to creation and on hong kong with china so this is basically i believe has to do with the domestic cool decks in the u.k.

more people more foreign secretary more presidents more prime ministers in the world should actually express their concerns about what is happening in hong kong about what they're trying now is trying to do for the paper long form approach china is technically trying to impose a system of governance that devil that they impose on the turn a few. people in hong kong are very rightly opposing up. a new commission chief younker has again suspended a block summit is the leaders of member states squabble over who should get the news top jobs the talks in brussels we're into that 20 of our our europe correspondent paid all of the hassle. well a number of big jobs in the european institutions need to be decided in the nearest future really but the biggest job among them in the one that's causing the most consternation when it comes to putting forward

a candidate is european commission president it's who will take over from sean claude younker and what we understand is that that is not happening at the moment because of a split within the conservative bloc in the european council of the european council's made up of the heads of government of the 28 member states they decide on who they want to nominate the candidate backed candidates then put forward to the european parliament who vote on it they can get past the nomination stage at the moment young himself part of the process of searching for his replacement wasn't giving much away to the press. monism. leadership someone. well certainly wasn't holding back the french president was well visibly angry at times when he spoke to the press he said it was embarrassing that they couldn't come up with a solution in the e.u.

2028 in the european council and he said that if they were in this position perhaps the whole system needed to be changed he said to me today has ended in failure we were unable to reach any agreement something i think reflects very badly on the council and well when it comes to who is causing the problems who is causing the problems with getting this deal across it's really a group that's being led by poland and by italy well i'm glad merkel had initially . for the job of european commission president she then switched her allegiance when she realized that wasn't going to happen and had backed the timmermans plan however she said its progress was being made but this it was a very difficult road ahead still to be played. things are going in the talks will be easier and that's pretty mildly for the e.u. parliament which is to be captioned is fixated on the principle of top candidates and yet the biggest force the european peoples party has no majority and so donal

to school had a difficult task today google try to be constructive so the european council the heads of government of the $28.00 member states of the european union will reconvene in brussels all tuesday at 11 am as they try and work out who should be the next president of the european commission plenty still to go yet when it comes to who will take over from john claude younger still anybody's guess right now. in germany 3 men have been charged in connection with the sexual abuse of more than 40 children aged between 3 and 42 of the suspects have pleaded guilty the abuse reportedly took place over a number of years at a campsite in a small german town of loopt or between them the man are accused of some $450.00 cases of child abuse local authorities are being blamed for failing to act earlier .

most of the big the abuse was by a single suspect identified only as andrei a very he's accused of almost 300 sex crimes against 23 children infants are believed to have been committed in 998 and then between 2008 and last year. the police are accused of inaction despite evidence of abuse for years and the authorities are also blamed for letting evidence disappear back in february they admitted losing almost a terabyte of evidence meanwhile one of the children's representatives there is the victims were questions in an inappropriate way for their age and their thirty's themselves acknowledge there was a police failure caught in this situation a debacle 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 made. 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 the 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 interviewer to 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 like of awareness it is simply unacceptable for a department to react in this manner and then try to cover up its own negligence. the man expected to become britain's next prime minister has taken issue with

remarks made by vladimir putin boris johnson has vowed to show that the president was wrong to note that liberalism is now obsolete a favorite in the u.k. as conservative party leadership contest insists the brics it will prove his point his artie's poly boyko with more details. ever since that demand putin declared that liberalism is obsolete in that interview ahead of the g 20 summit in japan there's been plenty of discussion about what liberalism actually means there are plenty of those that are keen to counter the russian president's hypothesis one such figure is boris johnson the favorite to be the u.k.'s next prime minister he's written a lengthy article in the telegraph where he's defended liberalism in the u.k. saying that it's made the country a fair a prosperous and a meritocratic society and he contrasts that with the way that he views the kremlin and in one part of the article he really lays into the russian political system but

the conclusion of boris's defense of liberalism is that the u.k. has to leave the e.u. by the 31st of october otherwise the u.k. risks looking like an illiberal and undemocratic country one of the problems with the e.u. as it has developed over the past 45 years of our membership is that this is begun seriously to undermine the fundamental characteristic of a liberal democracy that the people should have the power at elections to remove those who make the laws the e.u. system makes this impossible if we want to uphold liberal values we must leave by october 31st and we will see from boris's perspective the u.k. is a liberal democracy and to prove that it's got to leave the e.u. by that how low we deadline now the european union doesn't consider itself any less of a liberal democracy than the u.k.

i have to say that i strongly disagree with the main argument. that liberalism is obsolete. we are here. also too. and union will defend and promote liberal democracy donald tusk so ready complained that the u.k. is wasting all the extra time it was granted in april for that brags that extension and i suspect he might not agree with boris johnson's idea that the u.k. should leave the e.u. a.s.a.p. in order to prove that it's a liberal democracy and what it's exposed is that everyone's definition of the concept of liberalism and has to be different and that may be due to their personal political objectives too scared of work welcoming immigration and over the country forward but since the last couple of years since the referendum of cameron it's

going down so i'm here 47 years and i believe the charts this. year it's a lot of things but we don't have the right person coming out and you actually kind contradicts what we're doing with our words and what we say and when it came to and it came to the whole opinion on what's going on it was full of lies and fake promises so when it comes to liberalism is that i really. don't think it's going to prove anything i think if anything is going to prove how incompetent a lot of the people sitting in the top are. as pride most conclusory around the world the community in the us is divided competing rallies are being held and there are claims the main event has become too commercialized the reclaim pride coalition held a separate march in new york with what it called no corporate float no police it says the official events no longer addresses the political struggles of the

community under the trumpet ministration meanwhile a new vote poor suggests a sharp decline in acceptance of gay and lesbian people among young americans according to the survey the number of young people who felt comfortable interacting with the l g b t community. fell last year when more felt uncomfortable about a relative coming out more americans aged 18 to 34 also didn't like the idea of gay issues being taught in school however the acceptance rates rose among people aged 72 and over we got a reaction in the decline in tolerance from a community representative and the author of the study least munisteri experiencing could be leading to the subversion it's in eunice 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 and signal a looming social crisis and discrimination. activist brandon straka phase radicals

are turning people against their 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 one comfortable i think a lot of people on the aisle to take community feel uncomfortable once it is put out into the internet and to be the atmosphere that you are a racist or bigot or a hate group or whatever lives completely on the internet and so then other people in the future will use that against you to say oh you can't come here we should come here we want to live here because there's always that's already been in the southwest. sweden's liberal party has elected a new leader billed as

a rising political star who could change the party's fortunes now because the boony howsoever a shock to many with their views on donald quarter explains. for some. 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 e.g. 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 served as

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 when he's even taken to criticising 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 allocated to brew would remain in sweden because young migrants reese 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 risking 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 traces in sweden despite her skin color i've always thought the new young 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 so only 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. simeon's have reacted furiously as top u.s. diplomats took part in the opening of a tourist site under palestinian homes in east jerusalem u.s.

ambassador to israel david friedman and donald trump's peace envoy jason greenblatt were filmed enthusiastically hammering the wall leading to the program into road site as part of the opening ceremony the tunnel was opened without the permission of palestinian residents some of whom reportedly had to leave their houses due to excavation. this is not the us some bastard it is an extremist israel was so work with green worked also the digging underneath so one palestinian town these really are trying to legalize colonial practices in jerusalem by using a religious cover friedman and greenblatt already to freak history for this colonial purpose. u.s. middle east peace envoy has responded that palestine should recognize history and stop pretending it isn't true it isn't levy columnist of israel's haaretz newspaper say such behavior by american officials is dangerous. current american is this illustration decided to put an end to the long policy of the united states in

the middle east to totally ignore the international law to totally ignore all kind of resilience of international institutions supporting the settlements upholding go to patient and once they decided to go on this slide you know the sky's the limit now they're digging into more they will build settlements by themselves and you know it's really the goal to very dark places this kind of policy it pushes israel to do to become even more violent and brutal told the palestinians instead of restraining israel. the un has condemned a terror attack in the afghan capital that hit scores of school children taliban militants detonated the explosives laden lorry on monday morning in a civilian area before opening fire on security forces 16 people are reportedly

confirmed dead and more than $100.00 injured as halliburton's says it was targeting a defense ministry building the attack comes 2 days after the taliban and u.s. resumed peace talks in qatar. were staying with afghanistan a u.s. army captain says his book exposing alleged miss patmos practice by the pentagon there was heavily redacted while g. hill served in afghanistan from 2008 to 2009 he says he uncovered taliban infiltrators on his base but commanders refused to question that concerned about an imminent the taliban attack here interrogated them himself firing shots into the ground to scare them into talking the army then launched an internal investigation before discharging him from the military i spoke with captain hill author of the book dog company he told us traditional rules of war shouldn't apply to lawless certain insurgents. the rules of engagements are outdated and when i say rules of engagement i mean the law of war the law of armed conflict don't necessarily

account for an enemy force that doesn't reciprocate them the geneva conventions concerning how we fight in that how we conduct ourselves and warfare are written under the idea that the enemy will reciprocate how we fight and how we conduct ourselves in combat and the enemy does in fact reciprocate and find that's that's one thing all together but however we're fighting in a situation that's unprecedented for example with isis and the enemy. does not fight according to those conventions and so we're trying to force an undue burden on our military service members to conduct themselves when there is such a deficit or disparity between how they fight and the enemy's forces are fighting for you and finds the u.s. and allies in afghanistan responsible for most of 1000000000 deaths in the 1st 3 months of this year then the taliban and isis together. even you will call to

further relax pentagon rules against enemy combatants highly irresponsible i think the the ideal behind why we're overseas in iraq and afghanistan is what needs to be questioned i think a lot of times we get fixated on individual instances of civilian casualties and persecuting military service members for the collateral that's created however the type of fight that we've been forced to engage in there is a large possibility your risk for inevitable collateral to include civilian casualties so you can't place an undue burden on the service members on the ground when that collateral is created and if you do then the people that you need to bring alongside them when you do prosecute them needs to be the politicians in the senior military that sent them over there to begin with you said how you'll book you don't company it was redacted i can you tell us how and why yes so the

pentagon has an office a security review. and they claim on their website that they can turn a manuscript around in 2 months and that is to review it for sensitive material and then get back to the authors with their recommendations on what material should be removed or changed they kept dark company for a year and the content of the redacted 95 percent of it according to experts that we hired to review the ministers outside the pentagon was actually on federally sponsored websites that's us going to government federally sponsored websites. russia and china have agreed to increase trade using their own national currencies reducing reliance on the u.s. dollar currently only 10 percent of trade between the 2 countries is conducted in roubles and yuan but under the new deal that figure is to rise to 50 percent let me putin raise the issue as a meeting between the 5 brics and merging nations at the g 20 summit. the joint work between the brics countries and shifting to trade using the national

currencies is moving along well was 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 is used 511000 financial institutions in $200.00 countries and is heavily reliant on the dollar so we have to claims to be politically neutral but has repeatedly blocked access to russian and chinese banks due to u.s. sanctions russia and china are also working on developing ruble and yuan financial instruments and in a similar development the e.u. has created a settlement platform platform called infect to allow firms to continue trading with iran bypassing u.s. sanctions washington has expressed its concern over the move mike mccurry national communications director at the 10th amendment center social movement told us america's use of the dollar as a tool of economic warfare will backfire i think is just.
