today to install the international docking adapter 3 to pressure. you are. here for around. us later dong from kansas a state visit to denmark after calling remarks by its prime minister nastase she had rejected his offer to buy greenland calling that's absurd. also to come aid organization opus family lashes out g 7 countries ahead of their summit this weekend accusing them of driving global inequality with their politics and the quality how to bridge their increased there's a lot the last year and actually the wealth of the british billionaires was growing both ports half of society good for a. correspondent takes to the skies with russia's elite aerobatics team ahead of the max. about

a member of the bank but they get. something right. down. here but no. way. how are they good morning just going to leaven a clock here in moscow you watching international now the u.s. president donald trump claims he can sort his state visit to denmark because the country's prime minister made some quite nasty remarks he had offered to buy greenland which is a danish dependent territory but that was quickly rejected. prime minister's statement that it was absurd that was that it was that absurd idea was that asked the daughter was that inappropriate statement all she had to do is say no we wouldn't be address that you're not sure at this because. it's an absolute discussion and to prime minister of greenland has of course made it clear that

greenland is not for sale and that's where the conversation and. don't say what it absurd idea that is because he's not talking to me. he's not to appear to me you don't get to the united states of america you don't talk to the united states that way at least and to me. or denmark's queen he would have hosted trump express shock at his abrupt cancellation of greenland is the world's largest island and it also has plenty brazil says to you but trumps idea to buy it is not entirely a new one is the preferred explains poor queen of denmark it just happened to be that way you know the way that part of her land is the world's biggest island greenland just to the northeast of america and that it's donald trump who's in charge at the white house right now how about the u.s. greenland all of it and i guess we 1st heard of people like he was joking said can

we buy greenland i mean he's joking and then kept coming back to the danish prime minister would not sell him greenland calling the idea certain we must face the truth that our president is raving like a lunatic you can check out some of the trump greenland means if you haven't seen them but now everyone who giggled at donald trump adding the island to his shopping wishlist have realized his being absolutely serious just so you know the president's idea is an old 1150 years old in fact. i have heretofore expressed the opinion that we should purchase iceland and greenland but especially the latter the reasons are political and commercial now the acquisition of greenland will flank british america for thousands of miles on the north and west and greatly increase her inducements peacefully and cheerfully to become a part of the american union but the actual proposal didn't come until just after

the end of world war 2 that was when the state department officials once again outlined the benefits. the committee indicates that money is plentiful now that greenland is completely worthless to denmark and the control of greenland is indispensable to the safety of the united states and so washington offered denmark $100000000.00 in gold bullion for the island copenhagen's answer was no well we have much to america i do not feel that we have been the whole island of greenland although the us shouldn't really have been disappointed because of what happened next in just a couple of years denmark joined nato plus not only it gave up attempts to get rid of the us military on the island it allowed the pentagon to set up america's northernmost air base there here where temperatures dropped to below 0 and winds rose to 150 miles an hour gave you were bright sun is abrupt blizzard created by dense fog or blinding snow american ingenuity and daring have built

a new outpost in this country to do them. based on the top of the world that documentary was even nominated for the cademy awards by the way anyway since the pentagon can still pretty much treat greenland as its own backyard there isn't much for the u.s. administration to worry about their radars are out there in a perfect position to track intercontinental ballistic missiles and satellites and low earth orbit before they reach the skies of mainland u.s. or wait china is always something to worry about even if we're talking arctic beijing's already made an attempt to buy a former american base on the island and try to secure a contract to build a new airport there for now the chinese were shown the door but now what the white house man read the stirring things up around greenland we could be in force in very odd twists in the story. poor queen of denmark.

well the u.s. president is also unhappy with germany at the moment for not spending enough on defense washington is putting pressure on the. in to meet the nato target of 2 percent of g.d.p. that is despite very germany revealing it spends hundreds of millions of euros just on u.s. troops stationed in the country germany's current expenditure is 1.4 percent that's about $47000000000.00 euros in comparison greece does and does meet the 2 percent target for athens that amounts to just fall 1000000000 euros peter oliver takes a closer look. it's been a refrain of u.s. politicians for quite a while now germany must spend more on its military under president trump that referring has turned into a crescendo you know you talk about germany i mean germany obviously is not paying their fair share do you think germany is doing enough to meet the 2 s on target you know. what should germany do they should meet the goals that they

agreed to we have 52000 troops in germany. and germany is not living up to what they're supposed to be doing with respect to later on the thing is though opposition politicians have requested from the finance ministry documents that show that actually germany has been spending more than was thought for the privilege of having u.s. troops in the country over the last 7 years germany's contributed 243000000 euros directly to the us armed forces for things like pension contributions and building maintenance there's also being a previously unheard figure of 480000000 euros that's actually germany's contribution to the nato construction budget however the documents that were requested by the left party show this money went almost exclusively to u.s. projects the m.p. who made the request is far from happy about what's being revealed germany is

a hop of global u.s. small flamm it's subsidized by the german taxpayer must be stopped at last a recent poll of german citizens found that 3 quarters of those asked didn't think they'd be any risk to their safety if u.s. troops pulled out of the country altogether germany's a. $1000000000.00 for the privilege of having a u.s. soldier on its soil and not only u.s. soldiers but also nuclear weapons of mass destruction that the united states wrought here it dance the will of the german population we want both weapons out of here fossils possible. that all adds up to well no small chunk of change $723000000.00 euros that's gone almost exclusively for the united states to put that in the bit of context well that's more than the agriculture ministry requested to fight climate change with

a reforestation programme it's about the same as the 10 year refurbishment plan for the natural history museum and it's almost as much as the annual budget of the german space program earlier this month the u.s. ambassador suggested the u.s. troops could pull out and relocate to poland but the some here at the moment that seems more like a hope than a threat peter all over our table in. the restaurant shops and businesses too are closing their doors in the french resort of the rich ahead of the g. 7 summit there were 13000 police officers have been deployed to the area although organizers do say that this year's event will be run on a much tighter budget than previously. parliament voted for a budget of $36400000.00 a year for the organization of the g. 7 summit and this figure is much lower than we have seen for previous summits whether in canada or italy. in march the 7 countries have been blamed for

aggravating inequality around the world by the international aid organization oxfam my colleague spoke to john date he's the head of government relations for oxfam. that was the oxfam report on the g. 7 summit based on. so g 7 leaders including my new mccrone who's hosting the summit decided to make inequality a key focus of this year's g 7 and we think this is really important because the world bank and about and others have recognized that tackling inequality is absolutely essential in order to beat extreme poverty. report looked at the record of g 7 countries in tackling inequality and we found actually in a number of areas countries of fueling rather than reducing inequality for instance by not implementing progressive tax systems by fuelling the climate crisis and also by promoting a shareholder 1st business model with that doesn't suit the needs of workers and

many people in developing countries on a low income will oxfam's report highlights wealth inequality across g 7 countries in the us for example the poorest 50 percent of the population just one percent of the country's wealth on dates again on the g 7 to take action. why do you think the g. 7 don't work properly what are the main problems more widespread as well. so we think one of the major barriers is how wealth is distributed between people across the world and in g 7 countries so that the 7 biggest economies in the g 7 hold nearly half the world's wealth and actually if g 7 leaders implemented a new tax a new wealth tax where they to tax the top one percent of richest people in g 7 countries an additional not point 5 percent on their wealth then it could raise over $200000000000.00 pounds a year now that's

a huge sum of money that's enough to educate the $262000000.00 children across the world who are currently not in school and also you to have enough money left over to put money into health care and to fund. enough health care to save the life of 2000000 people like sanders accused the g 7 of having tax systems that do you favor the rich and says the wealthy are the ones that drive government policy the charity also says the g 7 care more about shareholders than workers and accuses them of worsening the climate crisis to his john days again taking us through some of those sports. they just haven't has existed for quite a long time are these problems that the report has highlighted something new or where they there from the beginning we know that inequality has existed for for a number of years but actually under a lot of measures inequality is increasing. so oxfam's own research found. thoughts inequality hot rich increased over the last year and actually the wealth of richest

billionaires was growing while the wealth of the poorest half of society had fallen do you think that this oxfam report will have any impact on this upcoming g. 7 summit we hope that the 7 leaders will take it seriously as you know it was a menu mccrone himself and g 7 leaders who decided to make inequality a focus of the g 7 so what we're doing is providing some ideas to how they might clinic quality and help reduce poverty through testing inequality. now a big show is getting underway. next week it's the max 2019 and ahead of that artist on quarter to get the chance to take to the skies with one of the aerobatic take.

on the russian team is preparing aboard the international space this is a major air show that's going to take place the b.m.w.'s and is going to be there ted and pilots from countries all over the globe no doubt the pilots are going to be showing their best but that's not bad and we were lucky enough to get invited to a plane to join one of those pilots i hope you're not afraid of heights. they get. all. about me.

but i want people to. move on but. after we returned in one piece our pilot constantine told us all about the international aviation and space along yup you know i have been training for more than 10 years and i've been in the pilot for 4 years the air show include the mock scott featuring aerobatics performances and the standard maneuvers the championships rolls and loops etc the international tournament features competitors from many european countries and known european countries including the u.s. the air show is not a contest the contest happens at the championship with the aerobatics and other

events so what the air show age group shows is skills and this big data is decide for themselves what they like of course who will show what we do best and what's new. rushers blasted the right books into space in the android os it's this famous phrase in russian during takeoff but we're. well i think that piously that and translated that means let's go in russian and this is what your buddy and i use he said as he took off to become the 1st man in space the robot. is coffee daughter who is that he will visit the international space station for 17 days clara will perform a number of juicy slight checking the spacecraft emergency systems the crew also tries to teach it new skills using a machine the. sit had he this hour steel plants in the u.s. state of michigan is temporarily laying off hundreds of people blaming trumps trade

wars and tariffs we'll have a look at that and. in a couple it's. going back to medieval days you had the church which is like the monetarist of present day 21st century where they would discuss how many angels can dance on the head of a bed they were in power and they enclosed this little model and now we've got neo feudalism or you guys central bankers discussing how many derivatives can be stuffed into a worthless action fund and we've got folks in san francisco in newark new jersey dying for medieval diseases. seem wrong when old rules just don't call. any new world yet to shape

out disdain become advocates and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. i'm back now a stable projects in the u.s. state of michigan is laying off hundreds of people blaming the impact of donald trump's trade war with china the swing state was crucial to his victory in the 2016 election and he would vote is there with promises reviving local industries market as the story. michigan the traditional home of the auto industry is a big chunk of what's referred to as the rust belt of the american heartland

recently the industrial state has been economically declining as many u.s. factories have closed their doors hundreds of workers at the great lakes facility will be getting a temporary layoff according to what has just been filed by the u.s. steel corporation it is anticipated that the total number of layoffs will be less than 200 these are just one such use of current market conditions and recent reductions in customer demand for the ponds product last year donald trump opposed to 25 percent tariff on foreign steel imports saying it would help make america great again we're going to build our steel. tariffs seemed to have the opposite of the desired effect the price of the stock of u.s. steel has decreased by 73 percent for trump who is looking to get reelected in 2020 this is not a small matter michigan which had previously gone for obama was key in sending him to the oval office he knew how to tap into the resentment of residents of michigan who've seen their state decline over decades of dnd is ation and decay furthermore

hillary clinton almost ignored the state of michigan during the 2016 campaign why is secretary clinton going to michigan today isn't that sort of considered you know one of the pillars of the infamous blue wall wife then time there rather than you know one of the places it's more of a swing plus as secretary of state hillary clinton oversaw the sale of high tech battery firms to china this cost lots of industrial jobs donald trump said that he would do the opposite and for michigan we will bring back your automobile production and we will bring back your industry when bill clinton was in office he signed the north american free trade agreement some argue that resulted in losing 168000 jobs in michigan the obama administration didn't help things much the rate of poverty into. troy has increased from 33 percent to 40 percent at this point southeastern michigan has the highest rate of concentrated poverty of any part of

the united states and the region is rapidly depopulating with a 2020 alexion is looming candidates should really take this state in the consideration and not just in pre-election campaign promises but when they get into office as well caleb mop and r.t. new york which at ross moose a professor of political economy says that the u.s. steel companies are not competitive. a lot of voters took a chance on trump but trump's policies have clearly failed not only in michigan but in other areas of the great lakes where we had a lot of manufacturing u.s. steel companies are are not competitive they've taken the money and raised their prices instead of investing and becoming more cost efficient and hiring more workers that's what they did so the tariffs don't work what happened was those 25 percent tariffs on steel imports the u.s. steel companies took advantage of those tariffs the steel companies name it related

the terms to their benefit didn't hire workers and now because their prices are too high. they have to lay people off because they're losing cannot competition demand . for weak i've got some dramatic footage to show you from the russian city of trunk father dan got his baby daughter out of the window they're threatening to drop her luckily though some local police officers managed to save the day. was.

the only good vehicle for which a person suppose most of the time. a quick comment. or are you going to use a should be worth learning to see just to get the shimmer of the story because just for the audience mostly because folks of a season is feeling. hopeless that's is still supposed to know it's been a move to salute those true years old due to the sort of mood 006 the chill local. dump a good place to blow up the movie is awesome. so this is the most fun to. show we should. put

a show to shake up little inspiration. from almost from the. office of. a lucky escape that's the news for now we're back with more at the top you. may guess manufacture consent instant of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the financial merry go round lift certainly the one percent told. we can all middle of the room signals. 1000000 real musicians.

paradise with some ground turned into a round the experimentation field but agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise why would that the chemical company workers themselves be geared up that suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments that often in day you have many of these people one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of environmental research going on in hawaii whether these companies feel

they can get away with this because the people have less political power. than welcome to all the pride when they see. its proponents claim that it's going to be a panacea to almost all the world's ills lifting millions out of poverty for starting peace through trade and yet as an old saying goes the only thing changed is will the mousetrap we trade calm of this and all the complications to discuss that analogy. former prime minister of finland. prime minister it's good to talk to you

thank you very much my person i'm the person we're recording this conversation on the sidelines of the harasses 4 on which this year is that it catered to discussing a morally decent form of globalization that formulation in and of itself suggest that there is something off with the current system what is it it's a fact that. many scenes are changing in a very radical way in the world and globalization is only one trend but. transformation or take a look because. maybe even the more fundamental things but they go hand in hand they. require stick and watches and technologies require globalization you are right now when globalization is discussed it's usually discussed in economic terms of efficiency a labor costs production cheats etc and there is a legitimate benchmarks for business but. not for government because the government has to consider

a much broader impact what happens to society as one factor is more about what happens to the public health sector whether there is an opioid crisis do you think industrial democracies have managed globalisation in their pro-social rather than corporate ways. they have not understood that the rules of the game have to be changed and we are still. living with historical legacy so if industrialization because if you look at the social security systems education systems most of the let's say legal frameworks in the investment world all of them are designed for industrial face of technology and now we are moving ahead and i think the problem is that our concepts are lacking behind what you're saying is that the government didn't do enough to create new jobs to compensate the schools to make sure that people are not taking drugs rather than you know taking

measures to make sure that industrial capacity is kept where those goods are consumed. explanation is that market is going to be a liberal democracies have failed to solve problems that they created i think it's only half true and the problem is that they still believe that the methods they used after the 2nd world war which were very successful that the same methods are still. producing on the applicable i mean no what's a scandalous one for example donald trump and many others say that we want to preserve certain jobs certain factories here even if it means that the price of goods is higher we just want to people employed and that has every pull a factor in the society why is that not a legitimate point of view i think the point is that if you look at the u.s. . yes the number of people employed in the united states has grown in

a messy way all the time and the fact is the us has been able to take benefit from globalization but the fact is the do not i born in a green filament and if you look at what's going on in parts of america today i have seen and i've seen that i'm trying to explain to you that there's a political decisions because of technological change c.e.o. also took measures to protect their grammarian secretary and i know you couldn't save this traps you couldn't do that when the horses were compensated by tractors. impressive impact. that i often i hear that comparison often but i'm not sure we are quite in the same stage when such a major fact but let's look at it from the other perspective why is ation relies heavily encourages over consumption that's also a fact that has a major environmental impact.
