international docking adapter 3 to pressure. you are. here for around. the u.s. leader donald trump cancels a state visit to denmark after calling remarks made by its prime minister nasser think she had rejected his offer to buy greenland saying it was absurd also to come aid organization oxfam lashes out to him 7 countries ahead of their summit this weekend he sees them driving global inequality with their policies the quality hard to reach increased over the last the last year and actually the 12th of richest billionaires list growing while the wealthy poorest half of society has fallen. and it's not as easy as it looks our correspondent takes to the skies with russia's elite aerobatics team before them access. the belly of

a bad back but they get. something right. down. here but they know them better that way for. others just go midday here in moscow you're 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 quote 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 i thought it was inappropriate statement well 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. what denmark's queen he would have hosted trump expressed shock at his abrupt cancellation greenland is the world's largest island and it also has plenty of resources to but trump's idea to buy it is not entirely new one senior frank 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. grain land all of it and i guess we 1st as a people thought it was joking and said can we buy greenland and he was joking and

then kept coming back to it the danish prime minister would not sell him greenland calling the idea absurd 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 realised 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 calm 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 and you were bright sun as a rock blues were created by dense fog or blinding snow american ingenuity and

daring have built a new post 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 us 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 us or wait china is always something to worry about even if we're talking arctic beijing's already made an attempt to buy the 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 really stirring things up around greenland we could be in force in very odd twists in the story. poor queen of denmark.

well the us president is also one happy with germany at the moment not spending enough on defense washington is putting pressure on pearl. into meet the nato target of 2 percent of g.d.p. that is despite the jim many revealing and actually spends much more on u.s. troops stationed in the country than previously thought germany's current expenditure is 1.4 percent that's about $47000000000.00 euros in comparison greece does meet the 2 percent target but the wrath ins that amounts to just fall 1000000000 euro peter all of a dismal. 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 struck about germany i mean germany honestly is not paying their fair share do you think germany is doing enough to meet the 2 percent 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 their country over the last 7 years germany's contributed 243000000 euros directly to the u.s. armed forces for things like pension contributions and building maintenance there's also been 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 parties 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 is currently paying more than half a $1000000000.00 for the privilege of having u.s. soldiers on its soil and not all of the u.s. soldiers but all the nuclear weapons of mass struction that the united states brought here against the will of the german population we want those weapons out of here socks as possible who are those soldiers calm. 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 program 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 to berlin 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 r.t. berlin. restaurants shops and businesses are closing their doors and the french resort to be out it's ahead of the g. 7 summit over $13000.00 police officers have been deployed to the area although organizers do say this year's event will be run on a much tighter budget and previously. in march with you know 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 meanwhile g 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 but was the oxfam report on the g 7 summits 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 another's have recognized that tackling inequality is absolutely essential in order to beat extreme poverty. hunger poor looked at the record of g 7 countries in tackling inequality and we found that actually in a number of areas countries are fuelling rather than reducing inequality for instance by not implementing progressive tax systems by fueling the climate crisis and also by promoting a shareholder 1st business model that doesn't suit the needs of workers and many

people in developing countries on a low income or oxfam's report does highlight wealth inequality and crossed in 7 countries in the us for example the poorest 50 percent of the population i'm just one percent of the country's wealth don't date again once 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 kind of 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 lives of $2000000.00 people without some does and he's the g. 7 of having tax systems that favor the rich and says the wealthy are the ones that drive government policy charity also says the g 7 cares more about shareholders than workers says north accuses them of worsening the climate crisis. do you have an has existed for quite a long time are these problems that the report has highlighted something new or where they they're 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. that inequality had increased over the last year and actually the wealth of the 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 g 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 tackle inequality and help reduce poverty through tackling inequality. around a.j. a show does get underway in a moscow next week the max 2019 and ahead of that artie's don't quarter did get the chance to take to the skies in one of the aerobatics.

the russian team is preparing them for international aviation and space this is a major air show that's going to take place to be end of august and there's going to be there tech and pilots from countries all over the globe the pilots are going to be showing off their bets and that's a bad and we were lucky enough to get invited to a plane to join one of those pilots so i hope you're not afraid of. them.

but. after we returned in one piece our pilot constantine told us all about the international aviation and space so long. 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 featuring aerobatics performances and the standard maneuvers that championships rolls and loops etc the international tournament features competitors from. many european countries and european countries including the us the airshow is not a contest the contest happens at the championship with the aerobatics and other events so what the air each group shows it skills and the speak to decide for

themselves what they like of course who will show what we do best and what's new. still to come our steel plants in the us that tonight she can descend hundreds i mean trying to try and. help ward off the. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. going back to medieval days the church which is like the monetarist present day

21st century where they would discuss how many angels can dance on the head of a pin they were in power and the enclosed. model and now we've got neo feudalism are you guys central bankers discussing how many derivatives can we stuff into a worker's pension fund and we've got folks in san francisco in newark new jersey dying from medieval diseases. welcome back now one of the reasons donald trump is waging his trade war with china is his promise to vote is true 5 american industries like the steel sector but despite slapping hefty tariffs on imports some companies are still struggling to both in reports now on the swing state of michigan. 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 is anticipated that the total number of layoffs will be less than 200 these are just so that you see current market conditions and recent reductions in customer demand for the pons products 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 d.n.a. 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 elections looming candidates should really take this state indic consideration and not just in pre-election campaign promises but when they get into office as well. r.t. new york where richard wolfe a professor of economics says that people are waking up to the fact that trump went to live on his promises. if you impose a tariff and if the chinese as they have done respond with a tyrus that is going to hurt the american companies that used to sell to china i don't think anyone is surprised that mr trump's promises that this kind of job ending in the united states would stop turns out to be a promise he cannot deliver and i think it will hurt his image in the united states

because it more and more people are confronted with the difference between what he promises and what he can deliver the underlying economic reality is driving people to recognize that mr trump was just a republican version a bit more extreme perhaps but not fundamentally different from all of the others. before we go we have got some dramatic footage to show you from the russian cities terrans because a drunk father that dangled his baby to a transfer window threatening to drop luckily some local police officers managed to save the day. of the who was.

on. c the phone. with the principal. of cornell. for. sure they were planning to suggest. just to be strictly for. the audience mostly because folks of a season list believe. that's a still super to do it's reem for me to do so that was true it was all due to those who have moved to fix the chill local. dump a good place to blow up the movie is awesome.

self and supposed to push oh we should. put a show to shake up little inspiration. more nor should it be. more homes from. the offices. you're watching aussie thanks being with us at the south and a more news from us in just over half an.

hour the end of the. government to the minute i want to make i don't think i'm going to. make good manufacture consent to step into public wells. when they're running close and protect themselves. when the final. merry go round. the room signals. i mean real new. paradise with some around and 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 and suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments but 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.

and a very warm welcome to you you're watching on cincinnati. i'm max kaiser this is the kaiser report hey did you know that kaiser report on espanyol the you tube channel gets more views than rachel maddow now. that's right oh. stacy actually i want to signal ahead of time that we're going

to be doing some journeying south of the border we're going to be in argentina and uruguay brazil and a little bit in colombia in december. and will be filming down there you know argentina's currency just collapsed by over 25 percent in one day just last week and we're going to follow up on that we're going to report from the scene and find out there and early next year we're going to go to mexico city and we're also going to be in guadalajara so we're doing our whole tour of latin america that's going to be exciting maybe do some special side interviews coast into the you tube channel for our spanish speaking audience that loves us to death. has led us well maybe not to death i don't you know in mexico that's not go there and the thing is you know of course that the mexicans and colombians and argentineans and earth lions they all kind of have their own dialect i'm

a way of saying something so it's going to be very confusing for you but nevertheless we're going to stay here in america for these headlines in this episode of kaiser report human tragedy on the diseased streets of san francisco worse than slums in brazil and india of course you could tell you know we were recently in san francisco talking about our child although we did walk across the city well n.b.c. news has done a study and actually spent some time go through $153.00 blocks of san francisco and what they found was pretty appalling the n.b.c. bay area investigative unit surveyed a section of downtown san francisco to determine the amount of feces hypodermic needles and garbage littering the heart of the city the results reveal a disgusting and potentially deadly mix of contamination that experts now believe could exceed some of the dirtiest slums in the world and why they say that by the

way is they talked to an infectious disease expert dr lee riley he's an infectious disease expert at the university of california berkeley in places like kenya and brazil at least in the slum dwellings there are often long term home. homes for families and so there is an attempt to make the surroundings more livable homeless communities in san francisco however often kicked out from one part of town and forced to relocate to another the result is extreme contamination or a human feces problem and some francisca it's quite prevalent but the whole city the matter where you are smells like human outhouse and it's not a nice smell yeah we're going to continue talking about this in the 2nd half of charles who smith and he lives there actually in berkeley but he you know this sort of bigger picture of what it is actually telling us because it's very very important that you know we have this global social me.
