below you're watching the r.t. international one result along thank you for joining us. russia and china have called for global action to prevent a new arms race following the collapse of a key arms control agreement moscow and beijing called the un security council meeting after the u.s. tested a cruise missile previously banned by the i.n.f. treaty and rival powers blamed each other for the ongoing escalation has created more pain with details. do you realize that because of the u.s. ambitions we are one step away from an arms race that cannot be controlled or regulated in any way the united states will not remain a party to a treaty that is deliberately violated by russia used a bit as if this depended only on us we would not have reached this dangerous situation the united states is taking the necessary steps to address the threat posed by intermediate range missile forces being deployed in ever larger numbers by

russia and china with a good what about you are you going to evade responsibility for what is happening you will future generations forgive you for this the russian federation as the sole responsibility for the reason demise of the treaty or was it when you've been you might just do not understand that by your response to the americans you're returning to a historical situation when missiles were targeting european cities from different sites. or give you think that smaller belgium calls upon russia and the united states to engage in a productive dialogue in order to draw up initiatives with a view to strengthening the strategic stability and to resolutely reduce the nuclear arsenals including all kinds of weapons systems. it was a heated debate at the united nations security council now the united states has recently withdrawn from the i.n.f. treaty the intermediate range nuclear forces agreement and not only has the usa withdrawn from the treaty but the usa recently tested

a missile that would have been a violation of that treaty had it still been in effect many are viewing this as an escalation of a potential new arms race between russia and the united states now when the representative of the united states spoke to the security council they accused russia of being responsible for the agreements demise this is the us representative here today because the russian federation preferred a world in which the united states continued to fulfill its i.n.f. treaty obligations while the russian federation did not we. denard of today that the united states had itself been in violation of the i.n.f. treaty because of our recent flight to which use the m k 41 launcher that is also found in our aegis the sure missile defense system this is categorically false now russia emphasized that its concerns about the m k 41 launcher have been proven to be indeed correct and that this launcher could easily be tested in transformed into the tomahawk missiles that were recently tested by the united states and those

missiles do indeed violate the treaty now russia which had been accused of having violated the i.n.f. treaty had repeatedly requested that inspectors come to russia and see if indeed these allegations from u.s. leaders were true however the united nations and the united states ignored their requests to defend themselves against these allegations of violating the i.n.f. treaty russia asked for dialogue around the issue and this dialogue was ignored here's some of what we heard from the russian representative so sure in accusing russia the united states and the countries that support it are ignoring facts and common sense and we proposed closed door meeting to look at all missile of this close and give full information to convince them that it did not violate the treaty they refused we cannot understand the arguments from the u.s. we do want to save the treaty china was also subject to us allegations that the security council the united states accused china of boosting its military arsenal

as well china responded that it was not correct for the united states to withdraw from the treating and blaming china for their decision was not honest or correct either this is the chinese representative addressing the security council with the i.n.f. treaty is of great importance to not only the u.s. and russia but it's a global peace and security it is an accent to which used china as an excuse for leaving the treaty under rejects that mice the son he's ations from the u.s. now the i.m.f. treaty was signed in 1980. 7 it was a key moment in the deescalation and ultimate end of the cold war between the united states and the soviet union and the recent decision of the united states to withdraw from that treaty as many concerned about the potential for a new nuclear arms race now many hoped that today's meeting could be the opening of dialogue toward restoring some kind of treaty regarding intermediate range nuclear forces missiles and such and wherever while

a lot of accusations were exchanged no real consensus seems to have existed among the countries represented at the un security council. donald trump claims he cancelled his state visit to denmark due to non-state remarks from the country's prime minister he had almost to buy greenland which is a danish deal totemist territory but the offer was quickly dismissed the prime minister's statement that it was absurd that was that it was absurd idea was that the daughter was inappropriate statement or she had to do is say no we wouldn't be address that you're not sure at the school of computes an absolute discussion to prime minister greenland has of course made it clear 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 the

queen of denmark here would have hosted trump expressed his shock at his abrupt cancellation greenland is the world's largest island and it has plenty of brazil says too but trucks idea to buy it is 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 me 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 certain we must face the truth that our president is raving like a lunatic you can check out some of the trump greenland means if you haven't seen them but now everyone who giggled at donald trump adding the island to his shopping

wishlist have realised his being absolutely serious just so you know the president's idea is an old 1150 years old in fact i have hoots of 4 expressed the opinion that we should purchase iceland and greenland but especially the lots of the reasons a political and commercial no the acquisition of greenland will flank british america for thousands of miles on the north and west and greatly increase in juice mints peacefully and cheerfully to become a part of the american union but the actual proposal didn't call them 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 on 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 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 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. meanwhile in nearby iceland the country's leader said she will skip a visit of the u.s. vice president mike pence next month so 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 for 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 trans cancellation of a state visit to denmark and that it was not about snubbing the white house mike pence is expected to discuss iceland 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. bergman who is a professor of politics of by 1st university in iceland thinks the prime minister isn't too upset about missing the meeting. current prime minister of iceland. a president of the political spectrum 2 trumps of ministration might. not i'm happy. to come to class but seems to be occurring there's clearly a difference of opinion between parked your car to get an irishman's. propose to military operations. to serve in the arctic

to. what it's an administration so clearly there are there are right your differences between the 2 parties. restaurants shops and other businesses are closing their doors near the french resort of barrett's 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 previously. marvet you know parliament voted for a budget of 36400000 viewers 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 easily. meanwhile g 7 countries have been blamed for aggravating inequality around the world by oxfam my 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 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 of our and others have recognized that tackling inequality is absolutely essential in order to beat extreme poverty. report looked at the record of g 7 countries in tackling inequality and we found actually in a number of areas countries are fueling 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 that doesn't suit the needs of workers and many people in developing countries on a low income oxfam's 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 date again what's 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 people oxfam accuses the g 7 of having tax systems that favor the rich and says the wealthy drive government policy the charity as the g 7 care morals cares more about shareholders the workers and warns the group of nations is worsening the crime climate crisis. the do 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 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 a proposed ban on how and kosher slaughter is causing controversy in belgium we'll have more on that after this short break. you know world's big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the bad and shouting

past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. make this manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final merry go round doesn't mean that one percent. we can all middle of the room sick.

welcome back a belgian a region's proposed ban on how and kosher slaughter is set to come into force next month but the move has tested the tight balance in the e.u. legislation between animal welfare i'm religious freedom. and kosher slaughter requires animals to be alive and healthy they killed through having their necks cut for a stunning is not widely used which is one of the reasons why the practice is banned in several countries but the new law in a region of belgium has stirred 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 few of us and we spoke with slovenian philosopher who shared his thoughts on the upcoming ban in belgium i don't think it is necessarily.

this. we should never forget that there is in your own rule of. let's call it right we call it but they find a candidate they could just take that. again if you're a side. effect i claimed god. limits and you know. if you've got big buckling fundamentalists you see them immediately it's never just let go close the. loop when they think it exists in the same. degree when they impact. in other news this hour in germany a syrian asylum seeker has been found guilty of manslaughter in a killing that sparked race riots in the city of chemists last year the man was

sentenced to 9 and a half years in jail all european correspondent peter oliver 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 camden 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 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 cambridge 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 10 minutes and demonstrations including a colossal march here in the german capital in however it's when we look at the political impact that we can really see the effect that the killing of this man really had if we look at the local city elections in came in 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 chemist'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 $28.00 seen after this killing there was a marked support for those who will represent seeing on immigration policies and i was certainly being represented almost across the country certainly though in the east of germany so we do have a sentence of 30 months old so is the verdict busy 9 and a half years for a man who stops all took part in the stabbing death of a 35 year old in cabinets which sparked such ugly violent scenes last year. a major show gets underway name moscow next week the max 2019 ahead of that auntie's donald corso got the chance to take to the skies with one of the aerobatic

teams. at the outskirts of moscow 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 no doubt the pilots are going to be showing off their bets don and that's a bad and we were lucky enough to get invited onto a plane to join one of those pilots so i hope you're not afraid of. the human body but they get quite. a bit

from many european countries and none 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 airshow age group shows is skilless and this big data is decide for themselves what they like of course who will show what we do best and what's new. i don't call it a privy he doesn't have a fear of heights that i'm resigning or could not be back here in just over half an hour's time with more news headlines from around the world see that. going back to medieval days you had the church which is like the monetarists present day 21st century where they would discuss how many angels can dance on the head of a bed they were in power and they enclosed this little model and now we've got neo feudalism where you guys central bankers discussing how many derivatives can we

a trade secret let's go. on the record evidence indicating more stimulus measures for europe are on the way and leads are global reports today as market watchers pour over the minutes from the last policy meeting at the european central bank minutes from the july 25th meeting of the e.c.b. policymakers suggested the e.c.b. policymakers are considering applying a number of stimulus measures simultaneously expecting the be application of the measures as a package will create stimulus synergy and believe in the bold action is what the moment demands you see. the president mario draghi has given very broad and clear indications that such measures are on the way including interest rate cuts in a defacto return to the policy of quantitative easing with bond purchases among the familiar actions are now widely expected but the e.c.b. may also be feeling pressure to develop new interventions as the minister recorded a discussion of multi-tiered deposit.
