was. maybe tonight italian prime minister just said picante hold talks in rome with both lamenting the state of affairs between the e.u. and russia. a mass public backlash erupts against one of the 2 men are going to become british prime minister current foreign secretary jeremy hunt as after he ties opposition labor party leader jeremy corbyn to anti semitism and even auschwitz atrocities. plus germany is in the grip of a heat wave which was also true which is also triggered a crime wave of including a large punch up at a swimming pool. a

very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with mena carrying europe and russia should return to a normal relationship without sanctions thus the joint message from the news conference of lot of my putin and just have become say talking about the harm to the economy by those restrictions that italy's premier even added an emotional touch. if you will go because you may approach the time the sanctions could be lifted or extended i'm always sad because so much could be achieved and the situation could be so much. well it was no secret that the euro skeptic forces currently in power here and rome are no big fans of europe's anti russian sanctions to say the least but as you've heard prime minister conte's message is getting more loud and more clear especially when he's standing shoulder to shoulder with the russian president who once again reminded about the enormous amounts of cash that both sides were losing just because of this sanctions war should you know

it in 2012 we had a trade to no good $400.00 unfit to $1000000000.00 was no it's still $107.00 to do in a film not mistaken where these missing $100.00 into to do it i'll tell you where these are lost profits not only those we could've but also those european countries including italy have them occurred. several times during the press conference we heard the words i absolutely agree with my colleague which is aware thing when president vladimir putin meets western leaders however the who. is definitely an exception and even when the top politicians were taken questions on such an important and troubling issue for italy as libya and the new outbreak of the civil war there the leaders were on the same page and mr putin began with pointing the

finger at nato will show that you will let us remember how it all started who destroy it leave it as a state it's only one of the few countries that assist and fulfill the situation a military decision could not lead to libya's unification on the contrary today we are witnessing a dramatic situation now for a. we haven't been getting any major updates from but as well about the ongoing political crisis there and the last question at the press conference was whether the 2 beaters brought up the matter during the talks and whether they had anything new to say about it well president vladimir putin once again pointed out how exactly the conflict began and also i had something particular to say about the opposition leader one. of you mr goh i do walked onto the square looked up to the sky addressed gautam to claim to president it's all well and good but we never heard back from goats and how he sees this so proclamations so i think

we need to come back to earth and start operating under democratic procedures some rules which while down to dialogue to the need to talk to the people you need to put to come to decide to the vote. so clearly this visit does show that russia is trying to benefit from its close ties with its only under its new euro skeptic government but when it comes to the e.u. as a whole the kremlin doesn't really have any illusions as usual and they are not willing to go too far. and he appears in visited the vatican where he spoke with the pope is the 1st time that russia's president has met with pope francis off the talks in 200-2050 they moved to the papal palace for negotiations on the short excursion through its ancient treasury the talks lasted around an hour made off which came a traditional exchange of gifts. the pope an orthodox icon and a russian navy about michelangelo the future of the pontiff meanwhile for

a sense of the 18th century painting of the vatican they did not hold a news conference but the holy see that they discussed a global international issues including the conflicts in ukraine and as well. a massive public backlash sparked against one of the 2 people in line to become prisons prime minister current current foreign secretary jeremy hunt after he tied opposition labor party leader jeremy corbyn to atrocities in nazi concentration camp auschwitz thousands have already signed a petition demanding that hunt apologize artie's party boyko explains the anger. a petition calling on the foreign secretary to apologize to the leader of the opposition jeremy corbyn has amassed over 16000 signatures because a lot of people are angry over these comments that really boil down to jeremy hunt making a link between the leader of the labor party and the atrocities perpetrated by

hitler and the nazis take a listen to what the foreign secretary had to say about the leader of the opposition jeremy corbyn in an interview with the jewish newspaper a little bit earlier on this week. rather complacently said some us all think goodness we don't have to worry about that kind of thing happening in the u.k. and no a former self the leader of the labor party who was anti semitism in a way that is truly frightening to me corbin has been a lifelong campaigner for the rights of palestinians but he's also been accused of failing to root out anti semitism from within the labor party but these comments by jeremy hunt have managed to offend even those people that are natural corbin supporters take a listen to just some of the reaction on twitter. that someone would visit

auschwitz and use it as a means to attack the mainstream political party in the u.k. . during home 20 minutes when he came back he will so humbled by the experience he needed to use that does complaining material to solve his political opponents because that's the truth isn't it jeremy the whole dead might win you a few votes using school cheap political points just to be one of the most despicable things i've ever seen even from. jeremy haun is the 2nd favorite after boris johnson to be the next prime minister here there's a conservative leadership race on at the moment but some say that his desire to reference you know the problem of anti semitism in the labor party as a way of deflecting from the roué over alleged islam a phobia within jeremey hunt own conservative party and also the chances of a general election here in the u.k. before the year is out is really creeping up for strengthening jeremy hunt have

been during the campaign trails and apparently trying to out brags that each other by pledging to both leave. by the end of that halloween deadline even if there is no deal in place and that could lead to an election where greg is it where we vote is to look to labor as some sort of alternative to all of this and so there is a genuine say right now i think in conservative circles of the prospect of a corbin government and we've even seen stories leaks from the civil service which is supposed to be the power again of impartiality here in the u.k. suggesting that jeremy corbyn isn't fit to be prime minister and so. labor jeremy corbyn they will see these latest comments by jeremy hunt as sort of just another installment of this plot to discredit the labor leader. cheika

dark senior research associate a think tank the big inside out center for strategic studies wants nothing is more dangerous than minimizing the holocaust for political point scoring. i believe that this competition. might be in such a high level that whoever is against corbin who might be the next prime minister would use any any means in order to gain some more votes this is very dangerous because when you try to minimize the magnitude of the holocaust to something which can be used. for political issues it is something which makes the holocaust happen again because if it was not such a big think that we can use it into the glue that we can use it here and there for whatever we like. of the game. germany is in the grip of

a hate wave at the moment and it seems to be driving people a bit crazy leading to everything from public nudity to mass violence or swimming pools peace all of our reporters. the heat wave that's being roasting parts of europe has seen some here in germany fall foul of the law take this mode played ride a brandenburg for example he received a caution from the police after his attempts to feel the breeze saw him decide to write his skate 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 a group of young men became embroiled in an argument with a family police to be cold and deployed pet the spray a witness described the scene there was a huge crowd of teenagers who were causing trouble around here they made those men with children cry police the family away from the scene and authorities ordered

that the pool be closed and said they didn't know too much about the identities of those behind the violence. colleagues described the group as african looking at the incident and dissolute office fall from the only one to have taken place in germany in the last month here in coutts at the entry to a public swimming pool the place to be called there over in munich $150.00 teenagers rioted in the bavarian capital in western germany for a french fry stand so around 20 people involved in a brawl in which chairs and trust accounts were used as weapons gassing cack in a 23 year old man he required emergency said you have to being stopped following a dispute that began in a swimming pool. pepper spray was again deployed after another bus brawl

in many of the incidents police found witnesses reported that those involved were from a migrant background leading to quit. students about integration that's nothing to do with us says the federal office for migration and refugees we have the wrong contact in relation to the facts below it is not the task of the federal office to comment on the situation in german outdoor swimming pools with the warm weather set to continue for a little while yet police pool security will be hoping that while the mercury rises tempers stay cool peter all over r.t. berlin. saudi arabia's latest effort to look more liberal appears to have backfired a top u.s. hip hop star known for her provocative style will be the key actors a major plans that in the kingdom but that shocks many.

oh well if human knowledge is going to perform in saudi arabia. imagine waking up from a 3 year comma and the 1st thing. painting an m.t.v. 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 and still 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 includes relates the problem with the rule of the crown prince of example the decision mission of hypotheses somebody who has made absolutely. no real changes during the entire time that he has been rudely to the ruler of saudi arabia at the same time we all know about the scandals

last year the war on yemen kinds of human rights abuses these are continuing how bizarre it is attempting to do these very basic their ridiculous gestures to kind of feed them a few of them to their the local audience an unusual independence day celebration in washington this year has resulted in protests or bring you the details on that and other news after this short break. thank you thank you thank. magic mushrooms used out of context used in the wrong way carry carry potential arms like any any psychoactive substances. but used in the right way they seem to have quite a. profound therapy to potential and quite

a good safety profile as well. join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then.

come back military hardware rolled through washington in an unusual independence day celebration which the u.s. president dubs the show of a lifetime donald trump said the finest fighter jets and tanks to be part of the celebrations there are concerns that the heavy equipment could damage the civilian roads and in a sign of protest demonstrators present a baby trump building near the washington monument many democrats on mainstream media have also attacked trump saying he's militarizing the event and using it for political gain ahead of next year's election they also claims the capitol looks more like putin's russia or even north korea dave lindorff the founding editor of alternative news thought this can't be happening reflected upon this year's independence day event. it depends state is always been somewhat militarized you know the whole concept is sort of premised on these fireworks that are harking back not so much to the revolution as to the word $812.00 when we had the rockets' red

glare that became part of our national anthem which is a word anthem so you know when we when we play the star-spangled banner it's all about. a. slave can't be black. lyrics because it's francis scott key was condemning the british use of freed slaves to fight the americans and wait americans so you know it's a very complicated issue but to just argue that this is supposed to be a peaceful holiday. mostly it's drinking beer and. going to the beach. head at the u.s.s. force as a shield americans that the country's ready for nuclear war revealing the 3 lights that would flash on his red office phone on the country he chose for his oh my god in somalia was russia should war with a nuclear power happen and i'm going to primarily use russia as my example today as

the most dangerous nuclear threat we face and i fully expect 3 lights to lights up on my read switch phone in the office the 1st step in the not less than scheme would be to take him up with nato which he called 1st and foremost a nucleus alliance to send bonus next would be to war to the north american aerospace defense command to intercept incoming missiles on finally deploy nuclear submarines for a massive 2nd strike journalist martin some a say it's all just sales pitch for more pentagon money. you've got to remember the military industrial complex in the west is is is a money making machine primarily. as they know that russia has upgraded its nuclear arsenal because it had to really because of basically the got you know short range nuclear weapon straight in their face if you imagine if the russians were poor it would support a similar weapons into cuba we know what happened in london 6263 when that happened

. so that they they are basically wanting to spend more money on more nuclear weapons so they're basically this is a basically a sales pitch the real threat of nuclear war is definitely there but talking about it like this is more for public consumption than anything else it's it's supposed to reassure people but if you read between the lines it's not very reassuring it's all it's going to suggesting that it's come before these wars can be fought and won a lot would realize years ago that's that's impossible. been 4 years now since saudi arabia started a war on yemeni who 3 rebels who react to claims on tuesday launched a drone attack on a saudi airport injuring 9 the alleged cross border strike comes amid a was an ink humanitarian crisis in yemen with starvation becoming ever more widespread in the region to warn you there are some disturbing images there had now according to the u.n. sponsored world food program 20000000 yemenis are food insecure or and half of them

are on the brink of famine but despite the appalling situation last month it partially suspended sending food to areas controlled by the who thiis the decision was taken as a last resort after a lengthy negotiation stalled on the agreement to introduce controls to prevent the diversion of food away from some of the most vulnerable people in yemen the un's decision sparks outrage in yemen and accusations of corruption there are these alleged the food program is being used to achieve political aims. the world food program is no longer carrying out a humanitarian operation in yemen but its 60 mitty's have rather become purely political it is advancing the agendas of the u.a.e. saudi arabia and the u.s. again the concern is that main donors to the food program are states fighting them or supplying the young to whom the coalition with weapons they also worry about the collection of biometric data on yemeni citizens which is

a condition of the 8 supposedly to prevent theft there if he's won this information can be exploited by the saudi that coalition we spoke to antiwar campaign a jonathan shafi about the allegations there's a great problem here which is that the war in yemen just like war through history is 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 devastated yemen 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 information 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 so to caution 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 will paint us about with such passion all information me end up on about how that information may be used in a military fashion thanks for joining us on r.t. international my colleague saskia taylor will be hit the top of the hour with the latest headlines. my son doing drugs my nephews was still in drugs my sister just with doing drugs it was like an epidemic of drug abuse america's public enemy number one in the united

states is drug abusers he started going after the users in the prison population who are we started treating sick people people who are addicted to these drugs like criminals while i was on the hill. then the war on drugs was on the stand there are countless numbers of people who are in prison for. certain since for whom our own are minor offenders in the drug trade it's a lot watching your children grow up and miss you in wave and say by day as you're walking out of a business it's just it doesn't get easier. the new foreign policy think tank will start business challenging foreign policy orthodoxies it is called the quincy institute for responsible state craft this is not an ordinary think it is funded by charles koch and george shore ost among others talk about strange bedfellows can these establishment billionaires take on the foreign policy

. as we speak large organize care of a bar on the march to the united states. and a player coming african. nowheres remains learning that. this is a virtual invasion of our country but so far. we think. that i'm at the end i thought of it but i'm a. yeah i've found you know. i think you know it's. nice. to see you do is you know we're going to see a more plausible scenario to see the show for a player for truth about. what

politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express an issue. or something want to be upset. that you're going to be it's like the 3 of the more people. interested always in the lawyers are out. there certainly.

welcome to the alex i mean sure we return to our feed on the changing politics of protests over recent months legend has been a very good let me grind to a halt by vigorous protests on foresty people thought then on the climate's emergency i did most recently against the state visit to president trump and today show we look at tie protests campaigns have evolved over the last century by contrast in the new revolution events of a century ago and working class glasgow campaign. for better working conditions what it is essentially middle class put test in london against a test team they took to this 2 thing glasgow they take to practical boys in london before that though alex with your teeth message and emails on his all time hero is . that

a fair to say that our interview of robert the bruce angus macfadyen proved to hit our very own box office 240000 views on facebook page and claiming a record for the alex i'm unsure what you had to say about it was this author said really a joy did few of us mcfadden i foresee film t.v. in the arts blossoming in an independent scotland there are so many stories about our past and contemplative street just waiting to be told and feed the animation says interesting approach to the spider scene reminded me of marlon brando in apocalypse now to be said well i like any we're not for a done deal we would get to see it go 70 worlds not showing it and that was repeated by teddy who said please screen this film an album dean's however of the national air live this week contained the great news and silly world you turn on robert the bruce fell because such was that one lame clamor to see the film ever so

the world to say that the sure after all and i guess mcfadden confirmed this the bruce will be seen in 5 cinemas including so the world of dean i have been informed so it just shows you that the public demand on the books of this alexander show to have a considerable effect 100 years ago what you class got lead erupted in a protest which the government to be feared would develop 7 into bostick revolution alex picks up the story with form a scottish justice secretary kenny macaskill who's published a book on the extraordinary events of classical 199-1917 russia failed to the red revolution in 1000. in the german high fleet muti that kiel helping to end the 1st one a war but in 1990 was glasgow close to a boat revolution 70 that was the view of the then sent to state for scotland and the former scottish justice minister kenny macaskill written a book about it so hopeless was glasgow 100 years ago to leading

a revolution well i don't think it was ever going to be a bolshevik revolution but it was certainly a male storm and i have to see in reception the book i came to the conclusion we tend to think of the armistice day that when the guns fell silent in november 1900 the world must of been very peaceful and it was far from not because in january 1900 there was a war going on as the bolshevik revolution was fighting for its very survival with allied armies attacking russia and russia attacking poland ireland to just seen that a target of a majority the doily even had been established in the board of independence was about to be count overhanging all lot of great spanish flu pandemic was coming in and finally is demob soldier as well to. bring home the specter of mass unemployment in a community that was already written with with poverty was frightening people who didn't realize what had gone before so it was.
