friend of geoffrey epstein then you get the insider rate of negative and you get paid to lend money or to borrow money excuse me from the bank. headline stories president. vladimir putin. the french leaders mediterranean president this monday with ukraine syria. and. the evil propaganda machine donald trump launches a blistering attack on the new york times hours leaked audio its editors are seeking new ways of covering the president after 2 years of fixating on russia. germany green party and join in popular support tweeting a look at one of the. controversial new environmental policy.

one minute past 6 am unsure cargo 11 pm an all clear 2 in the afternoon right here in moscow this monday august then one thing this is r t international hope you're having a fine start to the week i mean a new middle. french president will welcome russia's vladimir putin to his summer residence on the mediterranean coast this monday there are talks which are expected to focus on the crises in ukraine syria the persian gulf come ahead of the g. 7 summit. the weekend show do tell us what we need to know. well what an idyllic setting for the 2 presidents. for to looking the mediterranean sea thought of a break also. has been an official french residence of the president since

1968 of course it's not the 1st time the president has invited a leader to this force it's his holiday retreat and he did of course invite to reserve may the former u.k. prime minister last see in 2018 but this will be the 1st tete a tete he's had with president putin at that for what well many are saying the timing of this meeting between the 2 presidents is very significant why is that well of course it's just a few days before the g 7 nation leaders will be meeting in relatively nearby to be stressing global issues and many are saying that this could be the kick start that's needed to improve and reignite relations between russia and the e.u. so what's on the agenda today between corn and putin well of course the bilateral relationships with the e.u. and here of course in france but they're also be discussing the syrian conflict

ukraine and perhaps most importantly one of the most divisive issues all of the modern day is iran and that's because of course president mccollum president trump are likely to be discussing that when they meet at the g. 7 meeting later on this week at those 2 of course the old best of buddies and now on the 2 different sides all of the divide when it comes to the reining in nuclear deal so a very important issue and it will be important for president and the russian president putin to discuss that and to see where they meet the right on that issue now among whom and putin will be looking in this meeting to perhaps develop a deeper relationship between the 2 they 1st met back in 2070 not long after president my phone was elected here in france they met in paris at the palace and that meeting got off to a bit of a shaky start but since then it's. you have met on many occasions deepening their

relationship weakening the understanding of each other in fact in 2008 they met 5 times this meeting will be the 2nd meeting in 2019 we know that the 2 have forged a better relationship over the past 2 years and we know the present my coin is already agreed to attend the victory day parade in moscow in russia next year for the 75th anniversary very significant event and showing that the 2 are looking to increase their chemistry and to forge a deeper relationship between the 2 countries and hopefully improve that relationship between russia and the e.u. . right to another headline stories donald trump has launched another skipping attack on the new york times accusing the publication of producing some of the worst journalism in history the latest outburst came after a leaked audio emerged of the paper's executive editor discussing how to cover the

president and his administration in the wake of the russia gate scandal. tells us more. trump is the russian acid this message of the not too carefully ciphered in articles and reports has been overwhelming americans and the new york times seemingly used all the power and authority of its award winning journalism to propagate the message. but then came the miller report something that was in to support had to become the fatal blow to donald trump's credibility rebound ricocheted and had the media back with the momentum of a boomerang for the new york times it meant this we built our newsroom to cover one

story and we did it truly well now we have to regroup and shift resources in emphasis to take on a different story this is part of a league transcript from dean baquet the new york times executive editor giving a speech in front of the paper's authors this shift he's talking about is far from good news for trump because apparently now the newspaper is going to degrade him from a russian puppet to something arguably much worse a racist. race in the next year is going to be a huge part of the american story and i mean race in terms of not only african-americans and their relationship with donald trump but latino's in immigration work to the near times for 15 years i think that the new york times has immensely damaged its credibility by trumpeting this narrative that trump was

a russian agent certainly within the last few decades one of the most egregious journalistic failures a terrible terrible failing and. i find it disturbing that dean baquet the executive editor of the new york times what will even acknowledge it mr k. also likes to put the new york times on a pedestal for being one of the few remaining independent journalism sources out there except to believe that you'd have to deliberately ignore the distinctive scent of partisanship reeking from the paper's supposed new racism narrative donald trump publicly and unapologetically embraced a political strategy may hate racism and division he's a man who cosies out to the white supremacist has been about trying to divide us in a way that it's been about trying to sell hate and division among us we have a president of the united states is a racist this is a guy who is worse than

a racist he is actually using racist tropes and racial language for political gain the newspaper might have begun to retroactively implement the changes since it recently changed the headline of one of its articles from this to this under the pressure from well the democrats so one thing is for sure race will be a huge part of the american story next year the presidential one what happened. the moeller report did not deliver as the new york times and much of the other mainstream media promised that it would and from that transcript you see that they are going to pivot to another kind of campaign against trump which will be focusing on is racism but none of this is is journalism and some is a kind of switching of one moral crusade or self defined moral crusade with another

their coverage of the russia gate of the russian collusion story was a huge flop and during that story critics accuse them of ignoring other things that trump was doing so now after russia after the russia collusion story has for up to the times has decided to cover other issues like trump and racism but believe me and they'll do a very bad job. they'll get a lot of basic things wrong and and probably benefit more than they will hurt him well the new york times has not reacted to the release of the audio recording or responded to or a quest for comment from r.t. . let's not delve a little bit further into the issue of racial division in the u.s. alleged f.b.i. documents have emerged detailing how the agency intends to tackle rising levels of hate crime kill up and takes us through it. there are many different threats that

are being faced by america's men and women of the f.b.i. this point its mass shootings and terrorist attacks that tend to grab the headlines but they are facing another top priority that would be racial violent crime racially motivated violent extremism encompasses threats involving the use or threat of force or violence in violation of federal law in furtherance of political or social agendas which are deemed to derive from bias often related to race held by the actor against others including a given population group now let's be clear this is not some kind of political statement by the f.b.i. it's actually based on the data that they have collected what they refer to as white identity extremists and black identity extremists are committing crimes in a rising numbers here's what they said about some racially motivated violent extremists driven by a belief in the superiority of the white race and a perception that the us government is conspiring with jews and other minority

populations to bring about the races demise although racially motivated violent extremists use force or violence in violation of criminal law in response to perceived racism and injustice in american society or in an effort to establish a separate black homeland or autonomous black social institutions communities or governing organizations within the us it's true that racially motivated violent crimes have been increasing across the united states since 2015 this trend has continued in 2019 even though the overall crime rate in the city is surveyed has declined.

so you can look at. the attack in el paso texas underscores the continued threat posed by domestic violent extremists and perpetrators of hate crimes we're talking about a wide spectrum of racially motivated incidents and yes white nationalism has no place in this country i could tell you the majority of people in this

country from all walks of life all ethnicities and religions condemn white nationalism so the f.b.i. sees somewhat of a spike if you will a growth if you will and people being radicalized through white nationalism but it is being addressed rather vigorously by the f.b.i. and other intelligence agencies but we have to be careful in this country to make sure that the f.b.i. and other intelligence agencies do not become politicized unfortunately because of the political atmosphere we now see in the united states there has been the politicization of the f.b.i. and presently the new u.s. attorney general mr barr is addressing that as we speak. of that has condemned a decision by the british government to strip a former as the mixtape fighter of his. ship accusing its ally of shrinking its

responsibilities less calls live no to london on our correspondent paula sleeper for more on the story paula the fate of this man has been of great interest for quite some time take us through the developments. well what we know is what you say that the united kingdom has stripped jack limits who was dubbed by the media as being jihadi jack of his british citizenship now this has been confirmed by the canadian ministry of public safety who say that they're disappointed in this decision let's also has canadian citizenship. terrorism knows no borders so countries need to work together to keep each other safe. is disappointed that the united kingdom has taken this unilateral action so offload their responsibilities. now let's dropped out of university after converting to islam and moved to syria back in 2014 in june 2016 he gave an interview in which he said that his move to

the middle east was part of the journey to search for the truth but he denied being a member of islamic state this is just the latest example of how difficult it is for the united kingdom to strip those people who are linked to being connected to islamic state of they citizenship in the in another example which also recently has been in the news is that big and now she also went to live under islamic state and according to international law she can be as can check stripped of her nationality but only so long as it does not believe stateless not lawyers for her family have written to the british home secretary and they've accused him of failing to protect a british teenager being indoctrinated and groomed by islamic state and subsequently going to syria to fight on their behalf there is a long pattern that the united kingdom has of trying to strip terrorist suspects of

their british citizenship as a means of preventing them from being able to return home and there are hundreds of foreign nationals who joined up with islamic state went to fight in a syria and iraq and who are. being stripped off a citizenship as a means of preventing them of attending back home it's a big debate and surely only going to get bigger with this are to bring us right up to date thank you. coming up on the other side of the break an american mother living in saudi arabia looks set to lose custody of her daughter after a court told her she used to western with the teacher. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be

an arms race. and spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. you know world of big. lot and conspiracies it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks.

are back with our international an american mother. being in saudi arabia is said to lose custody of her 4 year old daughter after being told by a court her lifestyle is too western it's after her ex-husband a saudi national presented evidence to a court stating that she hadn't embraced this lawmaking only use and there for would not be able to raise their child zena properly bethany vieira who is $32.00 moved to saudi arabia in 2011 to work as a university teacher she later married a saudi businessman with whom she had her daughter the couple divorced last year and things started getting more complicated with direct using him of verbal abuse and drug use a claim he denies the saudi court ruled against her deadline for appeal expired on

sunday the mother is new to islam is a foreigner in this country and continues to definitively embrace the customs and traditions of her upbringing we must avoid exposing zarina to these customs and traditions especially at this early age they have very much he she he said versus she said well we spoke to catherine shocked who is a senior analyst at the think tank she explained to us why the case was lost by the american mother in her view women to begin a way in the kingdom to not have many rights just because. well when it comes to custody cases it is very often the husband has priority and is given everything whereas the woman is giving nothing and i think that in this case they are just using her nationality and she was raised in the west alleging that she has pulled an ethic and that she doesn't create within the islamic school good at least

their version holds obviously well saudi arabia has been repeatedly criticized over its record on women's rights although there have arguably been some improvements in recent years. it's very difficult to say you know whether the prince is actually really genuine in his desire for we close because they all coming so clearly. or whether you're

just some kind of a quick threat a claim to tried to you know it's richard riley around public opinion you know in his favor as it was to truly trying to change what is going on in his society and we have to admit and this is not even an opinion it's a fact that saudi arabia is running centuries behind everybody else when he calls to formulating what society is and how people relate to one another and the dynamics that goes on in the kingdom women. because to get about 50 percent of society you cannot function as a state if you do not have to keep the british and the whites to be to believe or even to choose for themselves. with warnings intensifying about the possibility of a global climate catastrophe germany's green party has been enjoying a surge in support amongst its environmental policies as a plan to completely phase all domestic flights by overhauling the country's real

system but are most germans on board with peter over takes a closer look. germany's green policies being in full bloom in the polls of late one of the most recent policies they put forward is a railway revolution all trains on a hike to schedule moving at a cheaper price waste that so why fight it with the ultimate aim of making the internal flights in germany i think of the past in the next 50 years by trying to city 5 who want to make domestic flights largely obsolete with all of that said to cost the states around $3000000000.00 euro a year but the rail passengers think of the proposal i definitely would support the policy i think i draw to take the pain more often at the trains 3 then the plane yeah if the whole network would have to be in a better condition going by train is really expensive and it's not very complicated

if you're doing a lot of travelling like meat it's nearly impossible to prove all the wrong to germany on the big 3 so. to moment there is no alternative fuels for planes because of his suv i'm not a frequent flyer but in that case i would abstain from flying altogether. my last minute ticket from munich cost me 50 euro if i booked in advance it would have been cheap but if i booked for it to that sounds it would have been a fraction of that cost everybody wants to see travel be quick and cheap bring them however how much of this plan is achievable and how much of it is just a headline. this would be a long way to go because it requires. investments in infrastructure and so far germany is struggling since years to complete the railway in structure projects to $21.00 which was supposed to make flights obsolete in the south of

germany by allowing for fall. to rain kind of train connections between paris and the end of. the broadsheet this delay to paris become twice as costly as the planned time so yes i ask myself how is it going to be put into practice. here we are in munich now that journey took just sure to find a vow is under the proposed plans all journeys would have to be completed within 4 and it's not just by lowering train face that the hoping to get people to the plane and take the train it's also by raising aspen is positive the plan is to put taxation on kerosene jet fuel on a level with taxation on petrol at $65.00 euro cents a liter currently depending on the length of the flight passengers will pay up to

around 40 euro in taxes according to calculations from the german environment ministry increasing kerosene taxes could raise as much as 7000000000 euro are new here at the main report in munich we found a real mixed bag of opinions when it came to getting people off planes and on to trains. it takes them so i wouldn't want to say i was for so much that several hours i think it should be wise verse that should be better to invest in the infrastructure of the trains that federer cycles more reliability better prices not going to take the train to bed linwood going now. 10 alice pay like yeah the same of going to kill he don't care isn't into consideration i think trains are better but not in terms of speed. but when the trains don't go away you need to the only option available is the cost germany has the highest level of call

rhona ship in the european union and the germans love affair with the automobile certainly not going away anytime soon peter all of a. peter all of our talking planes trains and automobiles ok almost time for another slice of crosstalk action peter and panelists will be debating once more in moments and to join me again in 30 for all your mobile news updates that close. cast calendar is dark alfonzo any longer and there's change in page change dard survey or. his 1st words were added i will see you're a challenging post you've got 2 years to live. i

have no doubt that what happened was criminal. defense calls in trade market is a $1000000000.00 industry these companies have a huge financial motivation to sow these problems there are numerous studies showing that doctors were keen to test facts right concentrates for insights of its own that patients want gives them says the wrong choice to play golf or term customer why they would get really sick each of those years day after day and people still die i don't know which question or so i tried being hard to live when so many have. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or something or want to.

have to go right to beatrice as a white woman for 3 in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the holidays. i sit. in this community and there are people who believe that it's ok this other excellent food on my table it's really hard there are no jobs and you see that i've got kids that ass to eat and as a pair. i can come up with arguments and there's a lot of conflict within the game between the 2 teams most of the conflict i would say. and a. close one on the children's clothes. is good business the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00

a year of the prison complex just to get some $25.00 where. you don't care. that. was.
