donald trump calls his meeting with him jong un and north korea a great honor but as accused back home ops wondering american influence. hong kong police used tear gas as protesters and the occupation of parliament it comes as the territory marks the 22nd anniversary of its handover from britain to china. and the e.u. commission is in doubt as its chief john claude young could today's at the block summit with member state leaders divided over who should get to use top jobs.

27 live from the russian capital this is ought to international i'm suspect in a welcome to the program. and fast stop making history donald trump has become the fust sitting u.s. president to enter north korea and the north korean media on truckin south dubbed 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 unembellished his 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 defends her allies and uphold human rights i have no problem with him sitting down with kim june in north korea or anyplace 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. after crossing the line between the queue chris with his counterpart him trump that a lot of progress had been made during that talks but thanks sins against pyongyang remain in place athena correspondent more i've got stiff explains why 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 and all the handshakes perhaps what it needed was something crazy something radical.

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 member some point look i'm looking forward to taking the ball i don't like sanctions being on his country i'm looking forward but the sanctions remain in use 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 is verified d.m.u. 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 young 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 need in the month to get out from under those sanctions decades of talks and the games have stuck by the nukes we don't expect. to tell 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 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 not become any less tense but at least they'll be no nuclear standoff to worry about i think it likely healthy it will show that at least superficially he is trying to get the nuclear eyes of the world and that is actually a serious even if the superficial aspect tweaking tweaking. going on that there are

also a lot of people who support from the state department lot of people a lot talk about the goals of this world i think you probably need both and there's a sort of you surely will be in controlling people are graphic so trump is in the middle ok it sounds right in the middle there i don't think he's doing a bad job however seattle it looks like if you see a story i mean stepping over that you know if you see it's parallel or you take some guts i have to say. chaotic scenes in hong kong riot police have fired tear gas is protesting and of the occupation and found that some of the scepter chamber of parliament writers got into the building up the smashing of nostril with a trolley despite being pepper sprayed by offices. i. was was thank.

god. this monday marks 22 years since hong kong's handover from britain to china but the anniversary has been overshadowed by weeks of demonstrations against a new extradition bell and brutal police response 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 terror 2 from becoming a refuge for criminals however many fear it will lead to political persecution from beijing and undermine the areas autonomy. britain's foreign secretary has also wages and with on of us restatement warning china to respect hong kong as will tony but beijing reminded him to stop meddling. don't shoot foozled when they don't honk

says appeal in china since turn of a no foreign country has the right to intervene were urged britain to know its place and to stop interfering in any way in hong kong matters and to focus on the respect due to instability rather than the opposite all gas chad the thoughts on the u.k.'s reaction to what germany 100 stealing of course east because the election is the prime minister e's approaching and he need to show steve falters and the british public that he is doing the right thing here and he's trying to be the one to creation on hong kong with china so this is basically i believe has to do with the domestic politics in the u.k. more people more foreign secretaries more presidents more prime ministers in the world should actually express their concern about what is happening in hong kong

about trying to know is trying to do for the people of hong kong the coach is technically trying to impose a system of governance. imposed on the chinese people people in hong kong are very rightly opposing up. donald trump has lashed out against iran on monday saying that it's playing with fire at his administration 1000 maximum pressure over the country's development they know what they're doing they know what they're playing with i think they're playing with fire. at the white house released a statement denouncing terence decision to exceed the amount of know when richard uranium it was allowed to stockpile under the obama era and the deal from which the u.s. withdrawal it withdrew last year the brewing tension between the 2 countries has a long history let's take a look back. iran's done with dialogue at least it seems when it comes to

washington. the useless sanctions imposed by the desperate u.s. government on iran's supreme leader and foreign minister has the effect of blocking the path to diplomacy the trumpet ministration is destroying all the established international mechanisms for maintaining world peace and security. for years iran has attempted to rebuild relations with the u.s. without any tangible results in 1988 u.s. military shot down a radium passenger plane that killed $290.00 civilians including $66.00 children and although the incident was considered an accident the pentagon never apologized . i believe that given the operating environment captain rogers acted reasonably and did what his nation expected of him and the defense of his ship and crew is regrettable accident and it was an accident it was a byproduct of the iran iraq war i'm saddened and if pos presidents or anything to

go by shouldn't hold its breath i'll never apologize for the united states of america ever i don't care what the facts are still ready to reconcile iran helped organize the release of u.s. hostages in lebanon but this goodwill gesture wasn't reciprocated by 995 even harsher u.s. sanctions were being lined up for iran i am formally announcing my intention to cut off all trade and investment with iran. and this is ban nearly all other economic activity between our nations the 2nd round of reproach me came shortly off the 911 i was one of the board. body. and. as a human as

a muslim and as an iranian i stand before you to violence again express my deepest sympathy we need to families of the victims and be to all the great american people across iran candlelight vigils were held to moon the victims but the diplomatic progress didn't last long 4 months later came president bush's axis of evil speech which included iran this is a regime that has something to hide from the civilized world. states like these and their terrorist allies constitute an axis of evil. finally in 2015 iran signed a deal with the international community including the us agreeing not to pursue nuclear weapons the united states together were international partners has achieved something that decades of animosity has not

a comprehensive long term deal with iran that will prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon it was celebrated but short lived dubbed a bad deal by donald trump he walked away without any confirmation to iran was in violation so perhaps it's no great surprise iran is tired of talking. the amount of the states does not seem to be very much willing to talk to iran otherwise they would have kept the nuclear deal and built up on that at least they could have given to troy but they've not done that they have ruined the former deal and this shows their be reimposed sanctions to the harshest level possible this shows that they are wrong so run that if the united states removes the sanctions gets back to the nuclear deal to show that it shows respect towards the wall and even actually in that case could be different until then there couldn't be any kind of talks with

the us no matter who is in office. now to manage pot california where the i agents have been sent to facebook's headquarters of the media giant received a suspicious package which may contain according to reports a correspondent more pain picks up the story well according to what is being said by facebook's representative for buildings have been evacuated and this isn't a mail receiving facility in menlo park california owned by facebook the social busy media giant now the buildings are being evacuated or have been evacuated because the machine in this mail receiving facility tested a package as having containing having containing seren the nerve agent 2 out of 3 tests conducted by the machines in facebook's facility did determine that sarin the nerve agent was there now this isn't officially confirmed by federal authorities

that are on the scene but we understand that there are 2 individuals who are at risk of having possibly been exposed to the nerve agent to be waiting to hear what comes next for confirmation if this is indeed this aaron nerve agent if anyone else has been exposed mornings off to the break. u.s. china talks are back on track but a 2nd front has opened up the u.s. europe trade is heading into a storm for rand is again in the center of the debate also the circus has come to town and it's called the democratic process.

seemed wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out just to come out ahead and in detroit because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back e.u. commission. has again suspended a block summit as the needs of member states squabble over who should get the east top jobs the talks in brussels went into the 28th our our europe correspondent

peter out of the house more. 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 and 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 john 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 e.u. member states they decide on who they want to nominate the candidate that can that it's then put forward to the european parliament who votes on it they can get past the nomination stage at the moment john claude young himself who's part of the process of searching for his replacement wasn't giving much away to the press. monism. leadership someone.

well a manual 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 would be sydney today has ended in failure we were unable to reach any agreement something i think reflects very badly on the council and on europe 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 been led by poland and by italy well i had initially back to man 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 it's progress was being made but this it was

a very difficult road ahead still so the way to. the talks will be easy and that's pretty mildly the e.u. parliament for this to be extraction 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 who will try to be constructive so the european council the heads of government of the 28 member states of the european union will reconvene in brussels all tuesday 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. and staying in europe 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 the favorite in the u.k. is conservative party leadership contest insists that it will prove his point his

artie's party boy can from london 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 it has begun seriously to undermine that 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 to. only you knew the defendant from old liberal democracy donald tasks already complained that the u.k. is wasting all the extra time it was granted in april for that brags it 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 appears to be different and that may be due to their personal political objectives just kind of work welcoming me gratian 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 seen this on. so

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 word and what we say and when it came to it 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 really what. did i 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. palestinian leaders have reacted furiously after top u.s. diplomats took part in the opening of a tourist site dog under palestinian homes in east jerusalem u.s. ambassador to israel david friedman and donald trump's peace and for chase and queen were filmed infuser stickley hammering the. 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 the house as the excavation. this is not to us some

buses it is an extremist israel was so with green work also the digging underneath so one palestinian town. trying to legalize colonial practices in jerusalem by using a religious cover friedman and greenblatt already to freak history for this colonial purpose the us middle east peace and for how to respond to the palestine should recognize history and stop pretending it isn't true gideon levy columnist at israel's haaretz newspaper says such behavior by american officials is dangerous. the current american is this illustration. 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 goku patients and once they decided to go on the slide in your old the sky's the limit now they're digging in

the world they will build settlements by their serves. it's really the ghost who very dark places this kind of policy it pushes israel to do to become even more violent and brutal throw the palestinians instead of restraining. and finally for this hour as pride month concludes around the world the community in the us is divided competing rallies are being held in their claims the main event has become too commercialized the reclaim pride coalition held a separate march in new york with what is called no corporate floats and no police it says the official event no longer addresses the political struggles of the community under the trump administration meanwhile a new report suggests a shop decline in acceptance of gay and lesbian people among young americans. according to the south

a the number of young people who felt comfortable interacting with the l g p t community felt last year one 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 interesting lee the acceptance rate rose among people aged 72 and over we got reaction to the decline in tolerance from a community representative and from the author of the study. least munisteri experiencing could be leading to this of ocean it's a new news to take time for people to understand our top is to educate about non-conforming take we counter the narrative that young people are more progressive intolerant these numbers are very alarming and signal a looming social crisis in discrimination l g p t activists brunton struck us as radicals a tunning people against the community and 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 faction that has really overreached i think they've made a lot of people uncomfortable i think a lot of people on the aisle do you can take community feel uncomfortable once it is put out into the internet and to be the atmosphere that you are a racist or a bigot or a hate group or whatever it lives and be 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 allow you here because there's always those already been in the south recently that's how our news round up looks for now be hit with more in touch minutes i hope you'll join me then next they are not international it's crosstalk.

made hard money fashionable again and that halo effect that spilled over to gold if it weren't for there would be no current rally gold. as we speak large organized care of the bar on the march to the united states. then 70 and a player coming out for a caring. no swarms remains slowing down. this is a virtual invasion of our country. so far because they .
