i don't know which question michaud iraq being allowed to live where so many have. little trump cancels a state visit to denmark after the remark spots prime minister nasty she rejected his offer to greenland. was absurd. it's revealed the u.k. government agreed to a whopping $6000000000.00 pounds in arms sales to saudi arabia during the gulf states 4 year bombing campaign in yemen which has led to the worst humanitarian crisis in the planet. not as easy as it looks our correspondent takes to the skies with russia's believe there are about 60 mm before the max. and now you're back. down. yeah no. way.

the live from moscow going to hawkings with you tonight thanks for joining us on the program. he was president donald trump has claimed as cancelled his state visit to denmark over the nasty remarks of the country's prime minister it offered to buy greenland which is a danish dependent territory the offer though was quickly rebuffed. prime minister just a bit that it was absurd that was that it was that absurd idea was that asked the daughter was that 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 go up to the united states that way at least under me. denmark's queen who would have hosted trump expressed shock at his abrupt cancellation greenland is the world's largest island it's got plenty of resources to trump saudi it's a boy it's not entirely new. reports 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 visited like 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 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 the temperature has dropped to below 0 and winds rose to 150 miles an hour gave you force a 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 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's she's got pride 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 bass's visit which was organized by the minister for foreign affairs has been rescheduled many times so it's been hard to organize oneself around it she made a point they were saying it had nothing to do with trump's cancellation of his fate visit to denmark and that it was not about snubbing the white house mike pence is expected to discuss size the strategic position of the arctic and increased nato operations in the region the u.s. plans to invest $57000000.00 in a military naval base there next year air corps bergman who's a professor of politics at bifrost university in iceland thinks the prime minister isn't too upset about missing the meeting. current prime minister advised them to start their opposite end of the political spectrum to trump ministration might feel or not i'm happy. with their class but it seems to be occurring there's clearly a difference of opinion between the party your cutting out cops took to get in

iceland. propose to plans military operations. preserve in the arctic. what it's an administration so clearly there are there are a right it's your duty speech and it took our. antiwar activists have revealed the extent of british arms contracts with a saudi led coalition operating in yemen auntie's paulus liers got the details. 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 that there is the amount that they were entitled to export the 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 obscurity body of evidence from united nations that house members to international order most respectable n.g.o.s in the world people in the ground in yemen all it used to say led coalition or routine violations been to merge with humanitarian law and that means destruction of schools means destruction of hospitals use the destruction of all this is a terrible humanitarian crisis that's only possible because of the complicity in support of arms exports and 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 also 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. 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 overseas network and n.g.o.s the saudi bombing in yemen began back in

2015 and has resulted in what the united nations course the worst humanitarian disaster ever. and a campaign against arms trade is highly critical of the role that the u.k. has played and once or to review its future participation. in belgium belgium regions proposed bans on alan kosher slaughter is set to come into force next month the move those test of the right type balance in e.u. legislation which we animal welfare and religious freedom. kosher slaughter

requires animals to be alive and healthy killed by having their necks cut pretty stunning is not widely used which is one of the reasons why the practice is banned in several e.u. countries and the new law in a region of belgium there has that controversy among the country's jewish and muslim communities. to have the government interfere in this way is damaging to the reputation of the jewish people as a community it implies that we as a group are irresponsible with the welfare of animals and need government supervision which is of course. a very negative view of what we're joined live by civilian philosophers level as usual thanks for joining us in the program today. britain's suppose these sorts of questions really put officials in a bit of an awkward position don't they sing animal welfare and religious freedom which a lot of european states pride themselves on do you think it's even possible to keep that balance here without somebody getting upset. whether something i would care about i don't know but she traced me. west with

a good background. i don't think it is necessarily let's be just this. we should never forget that denny's in europe. that the fruit of. and that's going to eat and i think we call it the least devastating critique i don't hear of he glad i got in germany almost 30 years ago when i drink it was just you know a group where everybody baked think where. people actually seem but and you know what they said they said no we are. good people troops and so wrong but you think our beings to be entirely based and so on and so on these cases that i think. it's very important thing in this case

it's strike. both by. state. law and costa i think if i don't do that makes. them i do not delete islamists and do. the same laws that would destroy you western europe and so on and so bomb. you know. basically get the bad in by this breakout box for them or make me suspicious frankly instead. is that right the thought was well. it may surprise you but they know deep that it's about. russia and cuba that i'm. really just a thought about wait so i can listen but before i did my shopping actually it's done in. we don't. talk about

whatever i mean if you're just somebody we. think of i mean like wouldn't it be modern to begin we. believe in our. week. to run and we're almost as you said something i want to ask you as well so to jump in i want to get as many questions as i can and because the media has taken up the story quite widely because there's obviously this idea of conflict you know between traditional christian values or secular values in many countries in france for example religious groups like the muslim or jewish population as you quite rightly say though regular livestock regular meat you know doesn't live in the greatest conditions there's been lots of cases of animal cruelty recorded in slaughterhouse yet nobody seems to pay so much attention to that what you think the media is quick to pick up on this story i think it's. clear indication of that but if you go back

to. the really if i may use the slightly paranoid. right. measure must. concepts but they find the kind of doctor you could just take that book again. because you know lately. one of the. very strange let me tell you a story weeks back then if. you look at the middle east i don't. need less need that said that they're. just they're currently occupying a foreign company. and i'm looking we don't really say something. fundamentalists.

the great i do. sometimes just don't buy in like an israeli inspections let me give my students is that the entire area but nonetheless this may sound complacent sound united but what surprises me will. they do it better if you were just. able to hear it again i don't have to expect it to be really daddy at least here. and the same site. to take. this guy. only if you're a site which makes me sad. i mean europe prides itself on multicultural not multiculturalism doesn't the u.k. for one country is why anybody. and here then i claim that lunatic utterly

summerfest limits and you know. if you can't become muslim fundamentalists you see them immediately it's never just let the friend color class exist. explode when they think exist in the same country when they came back for a company in government he literally i don't doubt is an example every year where. some muslim families want to leave the western style of life by saying can i trust the wrong and unbiased because they maybe take a view and then you have to decide there is no 3rd way to give back to the families . do you look at that if you give back to their families books. i mean you know well it's not nice to me show you our way of life and go into the

war we have to make a joke and i am. more open if you go and. look only. this date. you know it's a fine balance that the state does have to find between cultures and religions on all sides and that's the reason for loss of us law which is that thanks for your time today here in r.t. . good you don't really much. in germany a syrian asylum seekers been found guilty of manslaughter in a killing that sparked a race riots in the city of chemists last year a man was sentenced to 9 and a half years in jail for our european correspondent peter all over of course. 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 chemists 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 police nazi overnight they should 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 the 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 hashtag we are more behind a number of rock concerts including one really large one in chemists and demonstrations including a colossal march here in the german capital berlin 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. pro chemists which has some links to prominent neo nazi groups took 8 percent of the vote giving them 60 seats on the city council of care minutes 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 were representing anti immigration parties and it 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 in chemist's which sparked such ugly violent scenes last year. major show gets underway in moscow next week the max 2019 and ahead of that artie's done and quarter got a chance to take to the skies with on the robotic team's. 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 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 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 in other events so when the air show each group shows its skills and the speak to decide for

themselves what they like of course we will show what we do best and what's new. restaurants shops and other businesses are closing the doors near the french resort of beer it's ahead of the g. 7 summit more than 13000 police officers have been deployed to the area though organizers say this year's event will be run on a much tighter budget than previous times balam are 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 a colleague jacqueline vega spoke to john date he's the head of government relations for the international aid organization 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 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. report highlights wealth inequality across g 7 countries in the us for example the poorest half of the population own just one percent of the country's wealth john dates again warns the g 7 must 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 no 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. oxfam accuses the g 7 of having tax systems that favor the rich and says the wealthy drive government policy of charity out of the g.

7 care more about shareholders than workers and warns the group of nations is worsening the climate crisis they do so 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. that inequality had increased over the last year and actually the wealth of the britches 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

tackle inequality and help reduce poverty through tackling inequality just coming up to 9 30 pm here in moscow worlds apart coming your way next the team on our back in 30 minutes with the latest. such ties are financial survival the stacy let's learn to love let's say i'm not so i guess. i'm greased on face of the fight well street spot thank you for. the story that's true. that's slavery.

i didn't know this. movie i want it to mean a little think you know because i'm going to let you know what it was. all. done and welcome to all the part when the seeds of globalization 1st started to

take root it's 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 free cheese is in the mousetrap. trade converse similar complications to discuss that i'm now joined by former prime minister of finland. prime minister it's good to talk to you thank you very much more person on the boat. we're recording this conversation on the sidelines of the harassers 4 on which this year is that it catered to discussing a morally decent form of globalization that formulation in and of itself suggests that there is something off with the current system what is it it's a fact that dangerously many things are changing in a very radical way in the world and globalization is only one trend but technological transformation or take a look at the course is maybe even the.
