this is r t international live from moscow every hour of the day my name's you know neal 30 minutes of news and views start no. french president is set to 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 at the weekend charlotte dubin ski has more on what to expect well what an idyllic setting for the 2 presidents meet for 2 overlooking the mediterranean sea thought of a break also has been an official french residents the president since 1968 of course is not the 1st time that. michael has invited

a leader to this sports it's his holiday retreat and he did of course invite to reason 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 fort 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 discussing 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 a bilateral relationship with the e.u. and here of course in france but then 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 michel and the russian president putin to discuss that and to see where they meet the right on that issue now among 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 michael was elected here in france they met in paris at the palace of versailles and that meeting got off to a bit of a shaky start but since then the 2 have met on many occasions deepening their relationship weakening our understanding of each other in fact in 2008 they met 5.

times of 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 marconi's 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 the deeper relationship between the 2 countries and hopefully improve that relationship between russia and the e.u. . ok let's move all know in the program trump has launched another scathing attack on the new york times accusing the publication of producing some of the worst journalism in history the our 1st came after leaked already you emerged of the paper's executive editor discussing how to cover the president and the administration in the wake of the russia gate scandal breaking down the story you

were set on the. trump is a 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 and 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 and

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 asian 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 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 races 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 clues and 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 as for up to 4 times has decided to cover other issues like trump and racism but believe me they'll do a very bad job. they'll get a lot of basic things wrong and and probably benefits rob more than they will hurt . will the new york times has not reacted to the release of the audio recording or responded to a request 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 a bump and score. 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 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 of the 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 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.

the beginning. of. 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. . ok to a story generating a lot of interest canada has contended the session by the british government to strip the former as a lawmaker state fighter off his citizenship accusing its ally of shirking responsibility artie's paula slayer can bring us up to date. well the u.k. has stripped form of fighter jet lifts who has been dubbed by the media as jihadi

jack of his british citizenship but not canada has criticized this they say that they're disappointed in the decision don't forget that this jack let's also has canadian citizenship and a statement has been released by the canadian ministry of public safety terrorism knows no borders so countries need to work together to keep each other safe. disappointed that the united kingdom has taken this unilateral action so offload their responsibilities let's trucked out of university after converting to islam and moving to syria back in 2014 he participated in a number of battles before being taken hostage by couldn't forces in june 2016 he gave an interview in which he said that his move to the middle east was part of the search for the truth and he denied having ever being involved in islamic state it's a controversial move by the united kingdom that whenever it finds that its citizens are accused of being involved in some kind of terrorism it needs to strip them of

the citizenship it was another case recently of begum who also went to live in syria under islamic state now according to international law no country can strip of posts and of their nationality if it leaves them homeless as it does in the case of begum lawyers representing her family have actually written to the home secretary and accused british authorities are failing to protect the teenager from being sucked in and being groomed by islamic state the u.k. has a long tradition of stripping its nationals of citizenship as a means of preventing them from returning to britain after they become accused of being involved in terrorist activities european human rights judges have also ruled that this is illegal and by. we see at the moment is hundreds of foreign nationals who joined islamic state news to cost to syria and iraq to fight in their ranks who

are now being stripped off their nationality and being prevented from returning home. ok still ahead just 2 of us out of this break an american mother living in saudi arabia looks to lose custody of her daughter up for work and told her she is too western we have a body. join

me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics or business i'm showbusiness i'll see you have. a look and an american mother living in saudi arabia has lost 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 showing how she had not embraced islamic values and therefore wouldn't be able to raise their child ximena properly bethany vieira who's $32.00 moved to saudi arabia in 2011 to teach at a university she later married a saudi businessman with him she had her daughter the couple then divorced last year and things got more complicated with vieira accusing him of verbal abuse and drug use a claim he denies the saudi court ruled against her on the 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 we spoke to catherine schachter senior analyst at the think tank she believes bethany had no chance to win the case in

riyadh because of her sex. women to begin with in the kingdom do not have many rights to speak of and of course when it comes to custody cases it is very often that 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 the flag she was raised in the west against her alleging that she has pulls an ethic and that she doesn't fit within the islamic school at least the version that saudi arabia holds obviously and saudi arabia has been repeatedly criticized over its record on women's rights of oh there is arguably been some improvement 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 he's just some kind of a coarse met a claim to tried to you know it's richard riley or rollins 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 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 to about 50 percent of society you cannot function as a state if you deny an awful group of creation the right to be done with warning seemingly daily about the possibility of a global climate catastrophe germany's green party has been enjoying a surge in support among its environmental policies is a plan to completely phase own domestic flights by overhauling the country's real system but what determines think about it all peter all over took a closer look. at 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 running at a cheaper price we see 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 i give up the rail passengers think of the proposal i definitely would support the policy i think i draw to take the plane more often at the trains 3 than the plane yeah if the whole network would have to be in up at a 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 cool the room to germany on the big 3 so. the moment there's no alternative fuel for things because of the 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 150 euro if i put in advance it would have been cheap but if i booked a flight to that sounds it would be 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 require us investments in infrastructure and so far germany is struggling since years to complete right away in a structure brought $21.00 which was supposed to make flights obsolete in the south of germany by allowing for foster raincoat and train connections between paris and the end of. the broaddrick this delay to paris become twice as costly as a planned time so yes i ask myself. is it going to be put into practice. here we are in munich now that journey took just short of 5 hours 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 effort is part of 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 fly passengers will pay up to around $40.00 euro in taxes according to calculations from the german environment ministry increasing kerosene taxes could raise as much as $7000000000.00 euro annually here at the mainland ports in munich we found a real mixed bag of opinions when it came to getting people off planes and on to trains. it takes longer 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 etc cycles. reliability

better prices not going to take the train to bin laden where we're going now. 10 alice pay like yeah the same of going to kill if 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 room to ship in the european union and the germans love affair with the automobile it's certainly not going away anytime soon peter all of a peanut. ok reminder for all of the latest stories this monday artie's twitter page has plenty to keep you scrolling west well worth a follow if you're not doing so already and i'll see you in just over half an hour's time this it.

interest rates spike gapping and the spread is widening and what i call the interest rate apartheid if you're in the wrong side of the friends of jeffrey epstein you end up in a bantustan of extortion ery credit card rights if you're a friend of jeffrey abstain then you get the insider rate of negative and you get paid to lend money or to borrow money excuse me from from the bank. what holds his hands to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. i want to be rich. to going to proceed with what before me in the morning can't be good. i'm going to school always in the waters of. course.

i. thought. i got. good. welcome to save him come sophie shevardnadze the oscar winning drama are green.

past racism in america back in the spotlight this is a problem with think of the past or is it still an issue very much alive we'll ask calvin alexander ramsey an award winning author and playwright who traveled across the united states collecting memories of the jim crow of. a century after the victories of the civil rights movement. still. controversial presidency will civil rights groups find. against racial hatred in america. racism or the truth. from the united states. calvin alexander ramsey award winning writer and playwright welcome to the show it's really great to have you with us today mr ramsey know you have been digging into the green book for a long time the travel guide for african-americans during the jim crow laws that

help them avoid painful discrimination and segregated south jame crowd may be a saying of the past but for instance film director spike lee believes racism is ingrained in the day in day of the united states days think it will ever be overcome completely. well it's going to take a long time because you know with the development of the i guess the you know the country with the native americans and with the you know the the many many years of bondage by africans who were brought here you know and then you had the black codes after that and then you had. jim crow doing you had reconstruction and so is you know it's a lie it's a lie you know and what i will say that is has gotten better during my lifetime.

i've seen changes but they came about because people worked to bring those changes black people white people and people of the same i so it wasn't easy the strides that have been made they were hard fought. it off hurt that there are special projects and local director is like new orleans black book or black friendly flat project that comprised black businesses making it easier for black customers to get certain services as it's kind of the same thing as the green book . and i'm misinterpreting it well the green. well is it is similar and in a minor way is it's i guess spending dollars with people of your same right.
