germany is in the grip of a heat wave and it's also sparked a crime wave including a large punch up at a swimming pool. you're watching are to international bring you a live news update from our studio here and moscow welcome to the program. russia's president vladimir putin has landed in rome where he'll meet with his italian counterpart also pop into the vatican for a chat with the pope talking to journalists ahead of the trippy stress the special time test relations between italy and russia reporting from rome here's our trying to. this is going to be a visit. to states within just a couple of hours but in terms of political intrigues here's what's the most important thing last time our putin was here was in. 2015 and ever since then

the euro skeptics took over the government in rome known for their criticism of the european economic policies including anti russian sanctions and it is known that trade between italy and russia was booming just before the sanctions kicked in mr putin is saying that sanctions can only be left it if the will comes from both ways and at the moment we're not seeing any of that from the european union as for the removal of sanctions i have spoken on the subject time and time again the one behind the sanctions is the one to take the 1st step i'm talking about the european union after that russia will be able to repeal its countermeasures it is our hope that common sense will eventually prevail and europe will prioritize suits own interests rather than follow instructions given by somebody else now on the other hand as the italian prime minister mr coleman today said that no matter how much

rome at this point was willing to lift the sanctions with the general policy still go in that same direction it is very unlikely at this point. unilateral actions within the framework of the current european mechanism would not produce any result even for russia that is why we are working to involve all parties in a constructive dialogue however mr putin is still reminded that italy remains russia's 5th largest trading partner and he believes that the economic ties between the 2 countries will be on the rise he also pointed out that within the last year russia italy investments both ways were worth billions of dollars so during this visit we are expecting a number of agreements or contracts possibly to be signed now going back to that

interview the journalists couldn't help asking once again about the alleged attempts by russia to meddle in elections everywhere including europe now here's what the russian leader responded to that let me emphasize we have never interfered in the internal affairs of the european union member states or any other states and we are not going to this is what makes us markedly different from the u.s. and some of its allies which for instance supported the coup d'etat in ukraine in february 2014 just before meeting the most senior italian officials vladimir putin will get to be welcomed by pope francis at the vatican we don't know what exactly they're going to talk about however just a short while ago the adviser to the russian president told the journalists that the views and approaches of the kremlin and the vatican are either close or identical plus there's a bit of an intrigue in terms of something else last time the russian leader and the head of the roman catholic church met they exchanged gifts a lot of. the pope

a painting and an exchange she got a medallion known as the angel of peace so let's have a look if there will be any gifts this time around. germany is in the grip of a heat wave at the moment and it seems to be driving people a bit crazy leading to everything from public nudity to mass violence at swimming pools are reports. the heat wave that's been roasting parts of europe has seen some here in germany fall foul of the law take the smoke paid rider brandenburg for example he receives a caution from the police after his attempts to feel the breeze so him decide to write his ski to it with no clothes on but the behavior of some in germany's public swimming pools has been far more concerning at outdoor pool in distilled or so hundreds involved in a must brawl last weekend it started when

iran has told the u.s. that it shouldn't start a fire if it's not willing to deal with the consequences that's after donald trump warned the islamic republic not to play with fire he was responding to tehran's announcement that it will increase its production of low enrich uranium beyond the limits imposed by the 2015 nuclear deal. shoes. from july 7th on what's the level of reach will not be at 3.67 percent and you will know what to do you know what they're playing with i think they're playing with fire this thing for the u.s. to do so correct it's a mistake if washington is afraid of the would find you can start on. the spot began washington withdrew from the nuclear deal and impose harsh sanctions on iran after a year of escalating tensions tehran has now said it will no longer feel bound by the terms of the deal iran says that because other signatories including france germany and the u.k. haven't done enough to keep that deal a live here on our t.v.

our guest debated who's really playing with fire. well i really think that president to look him in the mirror and see that he fails to see this let alone defiant that he himself has ignited with is irrational confrontation our policy toward iran mr thompson is wrong is that he is hawkish advisers are wrong the u.s. is iran policy is. former vice president joe biden the self-inflicted disaster iran violated the c.p.o. way on many occasions and it was only a stopping point on their ultimate desire to to enrich uranium to. develop a nuclear missile program and they continue to do it right after before and right after the signing of that agreement that agreement was never worth more than the paper was written on that's not nonsense it's absolutely true you know it and

you're very skilled at the art of project obviously haven't. been doing 1515 i am reports confirming iran's full compliance with this honoris obligations we did. you obviously haven't bothered to read even one single one of them otherwise you would not say that iran has violated any of 2016 nuclear going 20 is not only that the. audit did want the water for you to know that the united states purchased every water from iran prior to mr trump tearing up that recursion you're violating your way by continuing to produce its obligations you can lie all you like on their on their i haven't even read that agreement i'm sorry sir you're due to 1st go and read listen iran is. meant for you to show up on a t.v. show people of iran do not like the regime nobody outside iran likes the regime and

you know one day it will fall that's not the stated policy of president trump but one day this regime. who were the ones that were mining the oil tankers in the gulf that was the who shot down the the the drone there was in international waters that was the rainy and illegitimate vava regime and all they doing is is now that they're on their own a great deal of strain when they when they receive $150000000000.00 in the wake of signing the g.c. p.r. way gingerly is not a full blood pledge treaty it was just agree with president obama and president trump every legal right to withdraw from it and we came very close to get done just 2 weeks ago unfortunately reason prevailed partly because of trump's sudden discovery of iran's the terror in capabilities that even a limited strike could a snowball into you know all out warfare involving us is allies in the region and hopefully that will serve as

a wake up call to trant to step back from its confrontation our policy come back to the table that the us left unilaterally and you know resume diplomacy with iran because the us is approached right now is anti diplomacy and provocative one warmongering. saudi arabia's latest effort to look more liberal appears to have backfired rads invited a popular american hip hop singer known for her provocative style to perform in the kingdom but that has some upset.

oh well acuminata is going to perform saudi arabia. imagine waking up from a 3 year comma and for things. to be musical festival in saudi arabia i don't think i woke up in some parallel universe. she's going to go and shake her all her songs are indecent about sex and shaking and then you tell me to where they are by and why the hell hypocrisy while thousands of saudi women can't even get out to get their basic needs thanks to the saudi government the saudi government is bringing him in ash to show the western world hey we are an open minded country. was. the crown prince how much insulin man has actually been trying to use kind of these stunts or these very superficial changes that are not organic to saudi arabian

society at all or to what it means to be a woman in saudi arabia it is kind of a silly image to imagine that the women attending the human r. ce concert are actually fully failed and wearing full length ropes society doesn't really buy it they're not buying into this so-called attempt to modernize sort of society in this way i think that this basically in caps relates the problem with the rule of the crown prince of example a decision mission of hypotheses somebody who has made absolutely. no real changes during the entire time that he has been rudely. or saudi arabia at the same time we all know about the. last year the war in yemen kinds of human rights abuses these are all continuing how bizarre it is attempting to do these siri b.c. 3 weeks of this just. to kind of feed them a few of them to their local audience. that migrants should simply

stop coming if they don't like the conditions at u.s. detention centers as a new poll finds most americans think the situation at the southern border constitutes a crisis that story and more after the break. banks geysers financial survival you know they say money the delicate. clergies if this is a central bank support diana cummings i don't call them i know it's a stop to that good. georgian public especially younger generation fed up with their wealth or test because our 4 tests they failed to with the democratic reforms they are failing. economic reforms as well and when we saw russia come to sitting in the churl

favorite parliament german parliament of georgia it made people simply mad to know because then everyone realized that this government has failed with everything and now they allowed some russian coalition to take seed took care of the gordon public parliament where don't anybody independence was actually declare. we bring you live pictures from the vatican where vladimir putin is meeting with pope francis this is the 3rd time the 2 have met they previously had an audience in 20132015 this is all part of a one day visit by

to me at the time president and the prime minister. will be keeping you updated throughout the day on those meetings as we go to our correspondent in rome for those updates throughout the day. more information has come to light about the underwater tragedy in northwestern russia 14 crew members died when their submersible caught fire earlier this week russia's defense minister has now revealed where the place started. to a solution to the main cause of the incident has been established it was a fire in the battery compartment which then spread a little pollution. the reactor on the vessel is completely isolated in the area has been cleared of people the crew carried out all the necessary measures to protect the installation it is fully operational this gives us hope that we will be able to repair the vessel in a fairly short time. the atmosphere here in the city of moments because gloomy

it's in the air it's in people's faces the expressions will be hard pressed to find a family here in moments without relatives say in the navy so the strategy has struck everyone personally it has really affected people here will over russia there are commemorative services being held and judges will of russian people expressing their condolences laying flowers we've had condolences pouring it into that the pope has expressed his sincere condolences to those that died in this incident those that the suffered in this unfortunate incident to raise it may the prime minister of u.k. . the u.k. expressed her condolences as well what was especially striking about this unfortunate incident was that out of the 1414 sailors who died 7 of them of captains 2 of them heroes of the russian federation all professionals all high

ranking decorated veterans of the navy we've learned about the incident itself as well it happened aboard a military deep sea scientific research vessel it was out in the barents sea off the coast of mormons conducting scientific research in the hydras field when a fire broke out and one of the compartments the crew acted professionally story they began fighting the flames they evacuated the civilian industry representative that was on board shut the hatch behind them in order to prevent the fire from spreading in consuming the rest of the submersible perhaps killing their colleagues the other crew members that survived and unfortunately they got the fire under control but they perished juta asphyxiation. mariners acted heroically critical situation from a compartment that was engulfed in fire they 1st evacuated a civilian industry representative then close the hatch behind him prevent the fire

from spreading through. the head of russia's navy is now personally in charge of carrying out an investigation of the last 2 weeks and establish what happened how it happened and who was responsible for jeanne sailors who acted heroically heroically in order to save their colleagues and the vessel itself the submersible will be presented to the state on his flight to meet putin is being kept up to date on the investigation itself and the state has promised to support all the support it can offer to the relatives of those who perished in this unfortunate tragedy. with the migrant crisis at the border between the u.s. and mexico intensifying donald trump has tweeted a simple solution. if illegal immigrants i'm happy was the conditions in the quickly built or refitted to detention center is just tell them not to come all problems so moved them across the state trump is part of the problem not the

solution they hold him responsible for the dark conditions at border detention centers and for migrant deaths trump has responded saying the democrats aren't doing enough to deter people from coming meanwhile a new poll has found that the lion's share of americans believe that the situation at the border constitutes a crisis artist killed off and picks up the story. the border crisis in the united states is taking a turn with the volume getting significantly louder at this point we've got amnesty international accusing both the u.s. department of justice and the department of homeland security of targeting immigration activists amnesty international has found since 20 scene that the united states government has executed and unlawful and politically motivated complain of intimidation threats harassment and criminal investigations against people who defend the human rights of migrants refugees and asylum seekers or migrant human rights offenders on the us mexico border international organizations

have already spoken up about the treatment of migrants but now we've got american politicians jumping in rockstar freshman congresswoman alexandria a cow 0 cortez has gone to the border and created a firestorm with her words about the conditions in the facilities in that last bit so really i was not sure from the officers that what we started a was unconscionable. no child should ever be separated from their parents no woman should ever be locked up in a pan now conservative outlets have a very different version of events they say she had a meltdown at the guards and refused to actually take a tour representative alexandra screamed at federal law enforcement agents in a threatening manner during a visit to a u.s. border patrol facility in el paso texas monday afternoon and refused to tour the facility according to 2 people who admits to a o. c.

says that migrants are not being provided with proper water and being told to drink out of toilets if they are thirsty they put them in the room with no running water and these women were being told by c.b.p. officers to drink out of the toilet they were drinking water out of the toilet and that was them no one with a congressional. it was coming that was this is c.b.p. on their best behavior telling people that slink out of the toilet now border patrol agents say this is simply not the case we we don't treat people that we provide fresh water we provide food we provide sanitary and in sanitary items as well as. items for bathing and personal hygiene and that's are you saying that she's lying i'm telling you what we do so the question now is do these facilities get more money republicans are saying that if the department of homeland security had more money the conditions inside the facilities detaining migrants would

actually improve democrats are saying however that they do not want to spend another dime on inhumane facilities detaining migrants after i forced myself into a cell with women and began speaking to them one of them described their treatment at the hands of officers as 2nd logical warfare waking them at odd hours for no reason calling them etc tell me what a ball died is due to a lack of funding as has been standard in american social wars as of late both sides accuse the other of being un-american treasonous and totalitarian furthermore to contrary narratives of what actually happened when a o.c. visited the facility have been put through word and believed by their respective constituencies the way it was the little things he laid it all the days come passion.

and. now everyone agrees that there is a humanitarian crisis on the us border with people fleeing drug gangs in extreme poverty and corpses being discovered on an almost daily basis however the problem is not being solved while politicians trade insults. r.t. new york. saudi arabia is accusing who the rebels in neighboring yemen of being behind a cross border drone attack reportedly injuring 9 the strike comes amid a worsening humanitarian crisis in yemen with starvation becoming ever more widespread just warning you may find some of the following images upsetting according to the u.n. sponsored world food program 20000000 yemenis are food insecure and half of them are on the brink of famine but despite the grim situation in june it partially suspended sending food to the areas controlled by the who sees

the un's decision sparked outrage in yemen and the accusations of corruption who these allege the food program is being used to achieve political aims. one of the key concerns of the who these is that the main dorner donors to the food program are actually members of the anti who's the coalition they also worry about the collection of biometric data on yemenis to distance which is a condition of the aid supposedly to prevent theft who this fear this information can somehow be exploited by the saudi led coalition we spoke to anti-war campaigner jonathan is shafi about the allegations. there's a great problem here which is that the war in yemen just like war throughout history. making money for a small number of people those who run the arms companies and so on when it comes

to the question of yemen when it comes the question of how we bring a bit peace the 1st thing that we have to do is to stop the sale of weapons is to open up the channels to deliver food and other aid to the starved people of davy's state to g.m. and and to bring about a peaceful solution and so of course there is a need a dire need for food aid to get through and it seems to me that what's happening is that the request for by magick and from ation on 13000000 individuals yemenis including military officers soldiers and so on that the fear is that handing that information over to the world food program let me end up in the hands of the saudi coalition the funding that goes to the world food program because of it coming from 7 of the sody coalition and because of the deeply complex picture that that they in pain.
