u.s. leader donald trump cancels a state visit to denmark after calling remarks made by its prime minister nasty she had rejected his offer to buy green then saying it was absurd. also to come and she will campaign has revealed the extent of u.k. arms sales to the signing led coalition since the start of the war in yemen in 2015 and aid organization oxfam nash's g 7 countries ahead of their summit this weekend it accused them of driving global inequality with their policies. the quality how to bridge the increased over the lot the last year and the wealth of the richest billionaires was growing while the well for the poorest half of society could fall . and it's not as easy as it looks our correspondent takes to the skies with

russia's elite aerobatics taking before them accept. that now you're back but going to get. right. down. to the fact. that. really. good afternoon you're watching r.t. international now the u.s. president donald trump claims he cancelled 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 the daughter was 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 under me. we want them our queen would have hosted trump and she expression at his abrupt consolation greenland is the world's largest island and it also has plenty of resources to trump's idea to buy it is not entirely a new one city for franco 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 as a people thought it was joking and said can we buy greenland and he was joking and then kept coming back to 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 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 as 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 there's 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 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 us presence is also unhappy with germany and i'm if not coughing enough on the fence even though berlin does spend hundreds of millions of your. just on american bases in the country alone will have a look at this in more detail in a few minutes. while restaurant shops and businesses are closing their doors near the french resort to be a ritz ahead of the cheese 7 summit there over 13000 police officers have been deployed to the area although organizers do say that this year's events will be run on a much tighter budget than previously palomar 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 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 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 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 dating again wants 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 lives of $2000000.00 people so what's family keyes's g 7 of having tax systems that favor the rich and says the wealthy are the ones that drive government policy to charity also says the g 7 care more about shareholders than work is and accuses them of worsening the climate crisis. the do 7 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 hurt 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 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 tackling a quality and help reduce poverty through testing inequality. now and see war activists have shed light on the true extent of british arms exports to the saudi led coalition operating in war torn yemen so let's get some more details from my correspondent in london or to sleep good afternoon to you paula what sort of figures then or we talking about. well we've seen you think it's released by the campaign against arms trade that reveal that the u.k. government granted export licenses to the tune of some 6200000000 pounds to partners in the saudi led coalition who've been operating in yemen since march 2015

now we have heard from the activists that there is no public darter as to whether or not the goods that we used in these licenses were used in their full entirely t. whether the licenses were only half used or not he used it all but just that this is the amount that the licenses entailed. the bombing has created the worst 2 minutes. they're in crisis in the world and it wouldn't have been possible without the complicity and support of downing street these arms sales are immoral and illegal. now the campaign against arms trade also said that the total amount is likely to be higher because many of the weapons and ammunitions that were used by the saudi led coalition were actually licensed by a separate body as to which there is no public datta available back in june this year the court of appeal ruled that the u.k. government had acted unlawfully when it licensed the sale of it you kate made

weapons to the saudi coalition without actually assessing past incidents of how those weapons had been used in yemen in many cases they had been breaches of humanitarian and international law and the government was ordered to not to approve new licenses and also to review those licenses that it had already given the there was agreement that they would not be allowed new sales for use in yemen by the saudi led coalition by the 5 participating coalition members now the government disagreed. the u.k. operates one of the most robust export control regimes in the world licensing decisions are based on the most up to date information and analysis available at the time including advice from those with diplomatic and military expertise and reports from overseas network and. still the united nations cause what is happening in yemen the worst humanitarian disaster.

and so we see now the u.k. government under a lot of criticism by the coalition against arms trade for what it says has been the excessive use of export licenses ok thanks poor poor sleep with that story for us from london thank you. major airshow gets under way near moscow next week is the max 2019 and ahead of that artie's don't kauto get the chance to take to the skies with one of the aerobatic to.

the russian team is preparing for an international aviation and space this is a major air show that's going to take place at the 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.

that 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 performance and the standard maneuvers championships rolls and loops etc the international tournament features competitors from. many european

countries and known european countries including the us the year show is not a contest the contest happens at the championship with the aerobatics and other events so when the air show each group shows a skills and this big daters decide for themselves what they like of course we will show what we do best and what's new. still to come over the next few minutes despite donald trump that fits to protect american industries with tyrus and on imports some u.s. firms a still struggling to get will have a look at these hats in the company. what politicians do something. to put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injured. or somehow want to be upset

that you should like to be trusted this is what looks like the 3 of them all can't be good that. i'm interested always in the waters of the how. things should. show something seemed wrong. will just all. get to shape out this day become educated and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.

welcome back now the u.s. president is currently unhappy with germany for not spending enough on defense washington is putting pressure on berlin to meet the nato target of 2 percent of g.d.p. that is despite the germany now revealing it spends millions more in previously thought on u.s. troops within its borders germany's current expenditure is 1.4 percent that's about $47000000000.00 euros in comparison greece for example does meet the 2 percent target for athens that amounts to just 4000000000 euros peter oliver as the. 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

know. what 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 year. 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 only u.s. soldiers but also nuclear weapons of mass destruction that the united states brought here it dance the will of the german population we want both weapons out of here fast as possible who are both sold a scar. 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 in 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 over r.t. berlin. and one of the reasons donald trump is waging his trade war with china is his promise to voters to revive american industries like the steel sector but despite slapping hefty tariffs on imports some companies still struggling 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 it 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 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 richard wolffe a professor of economics says that people are waking up to the fact that trump cantilever 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 from the russian cities the rants because a drunk father that dangled his baby daughter had a front window threatening to drop luckily though some local police officers did manage to save the day. i've. i've. found c out. what.

you're going to go to google for your killfile which person support most of. whom or what point. you were. going to use should be worth learning to see just because you have to store the beast just to put on google and most of those folks it was she's a nice feeling. that's just also for 2 idiots reimplement the solution was truly as old do try. to fix little local. dump a good place to look to move is awesome.

so this is the most fun to push oh we should. put a show to shake up a little inspiration in. the vein. of the. lucky baby their date and that's how the news is looking so i fostered i don't forget you can also keep yourself updated on our social media pages and you chuck. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

with manufacture come sentenced to public wells. in the room in clusters and project themselves. with the flame and larry go around to be the one post that. we can all middle of the room signals. going to the real news room. paradise with some around turned into a round the experimentation field for 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 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. this is a murder that was caught on video the murder was committed by the great street crips it was an in-house murder meaning that a street crypt killed another great street crypt oftentimes gang members killed by cold and one of the code says to never commit crimes against your own gang members in this particular scenario or murder investigation there was

a. transplant that was a narcotics user he went to purchase narcotics from 3 crew members on the narcotics was either bad or he was somehow slighted on it as a result he went to another great street cred gang member in got a gun with a gun the transience shot and killed a gang member at the time of the shooting there was another great street gang member with each person that was killed the victim of the murder and according to the game code he asked to make amends for allowing a gang member to be killed on his own watch. if he doesn't act dumb or take. some sort of action against the shooter that he will be disciplined by his own gang so. in this scenario that particular crips gang member. carries out the murder against the great street gang member who provided the gun to the transit and it's all caught on video. this is in.
