i don't want to think you know. donald trump canceled a state visit to denmark after calling remarks by its prime minister nasty had rejected his offer to buy greenland adding the proposal was absurd. plus aid organization oxfam lashes out at g 7 countries head of their summit this weekend and accuses their policy as i'm driving global inequality. the quality how to bridge the increased over the last year. the wealth of the britches billionaires was growing while the torched half of society had folded. and it's not as easy as it looks our correspondent takes to the skies with russia's elite aerobatics team before the max air show. a valuable thing but they get

rid of that. yeah. but that they. are watching aren't international coming to our from the russian capital where it's just turned 7 pm welcome to the program. u.s. president all term claims he canceled his state visit to denmark over the nasty remarks of the country's prime minister he had offered to buy greenland which is a danish dependent territory but the offer was quickly rebuffed. 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. 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. denmark's queen who would have posted trump expressed shock at his abrupt cancellation greenland is the world's largest island and it has plenty of resources but trump's idea to buy it is not entirely new as you are trying to report 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 he 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 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 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 the temperature has dropped to below 0 and winds rose to 150 miles an hour gave you force a bright sun as a rough blizzard created by dense fog of 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 us or wait there's 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. meanwhile in

nearby iceland the country's leader said she will skip a visit of the u.s. vice president mike pence next month saying she has prior commitments to speak at a trade union conference in sweden the fact is i was long ago i asked to give the keynote speech at the annual conference of nordic trade unions bassus visit which was organized by the minister of foreign affairs has been rescheduled many times so it's been hard to organize oneself around it she made a point though of saying it had nothing to do with trump's cancellation of a state visit to denmark and that it was not about snubbing the white house mike pence is expected to discuss ice and strategic position in the arctic and increase nato operations in the region the u.s. plans to invest $57000000.00 in a military naval base there next year erica bergman who is a professor of politics. university in iceland thinks the prime minister isn't too upset about missing that meeting. current prime minister of iceland to stop

opposite end of the political spectrum to trump's ministration might feel not i'm happy. this come to class but seems to be occurring there's clearly a difference of opinion between the park your car to get an irishman's propose to fans military operations. preserve in the arctic. what it's an administration so clearly there are there are right your differences between the 2 archers. and i were activists have revealed the extent of british arms contracts with the saudi led coalition operating in yemen artist paul thayer explains. well the latest figures from the campaign against arms trade reveal that the u.k. government granted export licenses to the tune of some 6200000000 pounds over a period of 4 years since the saudi led coalition began its strikes in yemen back

in march 2015 there's no public data however over whether or not the license holders exported the goods in their entirety or half or none but essentially what it does show is the same is the amount that they were entitled to export the u.k. government doesn't really want to know how those weapons are being used as weapons are being used in a way that violates international humanitarian law and of course it would have to act and there was have to stop was serials or every do know from a huge body of evidence from united nations that. international order most respectable n.g.o.s in the world people in the ground in yemen all it used to say they led coalition or routine violations going to merge with humanitarian law and that means destruction of schools means destruction of hospitals news the destruction of all this is a terrible humanitarian crisis as possible because of the complicity in support of

arms exporting governments such as the campaign against arms trade says that the total amount is likely to be higher because many of the weapons and ammunitions that were used by members of the saudi led coalition in fact were licensed by a separate body for which there is no public datta now back in june this year the court of appeal ruled that the u.k. government had acted unlawfully when it granted licenses of a u.k. made weapons to members of the saudi led coalition without 1st checking if they use it in the past had led to britches of international law the government was ordered not to approve new licenses and offer to review those that it had already given and it was agreed that the government would not allow new sales of weapons to the 5 participating members. of the saudi led coalition in yemen now the british government denies this and it has rejected these allegations outright 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 our overseas network and n.g.o.s the saudi bombing in yemen began back in 2015 and has resulted in what the united nations cause the worst humanitarian disaster ever. and the campaign against arms trade is highly critical of the role that the u.k. has played and once attribute its future participation.

restaurants shops and other businesses are closing their doors near the french resort city of berets ahead of the g. 7 summit more than 13000 police officers have been deployed to the area although organizers say this year's event will be run on a much tighter budget than previous ones palomar the tune of up to $26.00 of parliament voted for a budget of $36400000.00 euros 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 oxfam earlier i spoke to john date he's the head of government relations for the international aid organization. what was the oxfam report on the g 7 summits based on. so 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 with that doesn't suit the needs of workers and many people in developing countries on a low income. they report highlights wealth inequality across g 7 countries and the us for example the poorest half of the population on just one percent of the country's wealth don 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 $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 people. accuse the g. 7 of having tax systems that favor the rich and says the wealthy drive government policy the charity as they just haven't care more about shareholders than workers

and mourns the group of nations is worsening the climate crisis. the g. 7 has existed for quite a long time are these problems that the report has highlighted something new or were 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. that inequality hard to rich increased over the last 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. a major air show gets underway near moscow next week marks 2019 had about artie's done one quarter got the chance to take to the skies with one of the aerobatic teams. the russian team is preparing for an 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 up 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 known european countries including the us the airshow 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 skilless and this big daters decide for themselves what they like of course we will show what we do best and what's new more news after the break. seemed wrong. but all. just don't. get to

shape out just to become educated and indeed human equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. going back to medieval days you had the church which is like a 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 they enclosed this little model and now we've got neo feudalism or you guys central bankers discussing how many derivatives can be 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 in germany a syrian asylum seeker has been found guilty of manslaughter and a killing that sparked race riots in the city of kenneth's last year the man was sentenced to 9 and a half years in jail peter all reports. a 23 year old syrian asylum applicant has been sentenced to 9 and a half years by a court in dresden for the month slaughter of the 35 year old man daniel healy who was stabbed to death in chemist's last year now it's understood that the main suspect in the killing a 22 year old iraqi national has not been found by police yet it's under study may well have fled the country after initial shock there was violent and at times ugly

scenes in the city which drew the attention of the world's media we saw some footage of refugees and migrants being chased by purported members of far right groups there was also marches through the city by the tories neo nazi organizations we thought the members of the far right and the immigration. anti immigration political parties. turned very violent at times the police really not in control as these marches clashed with anti fascist marches throughout the city of cabinets over a number of days following the violence what that was finally got under control there was an attempt to try and bring communities back together the hash tag we are more was behind a number of rock concerts including one really large one in came that some demonstrations including a colossal march here in the german capital in however it's when we look at the political impact there we can really see the effect that the killing of this man

really had if we look at the local city elections in came it's from earlier this year we saw alternative for germany the immigration party they came in 2nd that's not really surprising in the east of germany but what's more surprising about the city elections is the fact that the party. proclaim it's which has some links to prominent neo nazi groups took 8 percent of the vote but also when we look at this on a national level if we compare how people's voting intentions looked in 2017 compared to 2018 after this killing there was a marked support for those who will represent seeing on t. immigration parties and i was certainly being represented almost across the country certainly though in the east of germany so we do have a sentence of verdicts man slaughter is the verdict busy 9 and a half years for

a man who stabbed or took part in the stabbing death of a 35 year old and chemists which sparked such ugly violent scenes last year. 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 that despite flapping heavy tariffs on imports some companies are still struggling artist come up and report 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 adjustments that use the current market conditions and recent reductions in customer demand for the plants 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 in the consideration and not just in pre-election campaign promises but when they get into office as well cable mopp and r.t. new york economics professor richard wolfe believes people are waking up to the fact that term won't be delivering on all 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 and being in the united states would stop turns out to be a promise he can 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 that's a news update for this hour and that's all for me as well today but we're not done

yet hawkins will be taking over in about 30 minutes and counting in wherever you may be. manufacture come sentenced to public wealth. when the ruling closest project themselves. in the final merry go round to be the one. doing all middle of the room signals. new.

idea really. give me much as. we say. just come out of our land. there's an awful lot in common i'm old but i'm also the most companies you know so i've been a kid who says he plays a lot of muscle when i mean. his company seems few dollars colombiana skimming over he goes from didn't you notice his conclusion he is pro-u. so i called. them and i'm going to see if the notion of consuls mislead him a little q i don't like kind of the most complete. look it is. always stay in this one day the come to your list. so to you. so no man because he is.

a coward. around. around the experimentation field agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise why would 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.

readings and sally. it's nearing the end of august hawk watchers and do you know do you know where your isis is all according to the pentagon secretary of state mike pompei oh in the mainstream media isis may rise once again yes like jason vorhees at camp crystal lake apparently isis has come back from the dead despite a u.s. president donald trump's declarations back in march that there caliphate was no more isis sort of like she. is isis right now. so there's isis. and that's what we have right now. as of last night. our eileen organized u.s. president based on a new inspector general report for congress on operation inherent resolve the new

york times reporting that 5 months after american backed forces oust of the islamic state from its last shard of territory in syria the terrorist group is gathering new strength conducting guerrilla attacks across iraq and syria retooling its financial networks and targeting new recruits at an allied run tent camp on tuesday this week mike pump ayos confronted by reporters about the supposed newly undead ice system the u.s. secretary of state declared there was certainly places where isis is more powerful today than they were 3 or 4 years ago but the calculate is gone and their capacity to conduct external attacks is with made it much more difficult. well now i'm sorry i'm a little bit confused so so is i says back in gathering strength and getting more powerful the never or is there a caliphate gone and their ability to operate severely hamper a lot of conflicting stories here or or my friends is there something.
