the big news stories of the week for the poets who called for a symmetrical response to new u.s. missile testing as tensions grow following the collapse of the control treaty. riot police used water cannons and tear gas against and to cap this protest as close to that big summit ongoing this week and the demonstrators are demanding the world leaders take action to tackle inequality and climate change and here to fight against this capitalist rule the world we talk about to find a decent quality but i think this is nonsense. and the other dizzying display across takes to the skies with russia is
5:01 am
a leader but 60 before the big show. about a. very good day for russia this is art international live from moscow with me kevin owen here for the next hour with a regular weekly news review of the last 7 days of 1st russian president ordered the country's military to prepare asymmetrical response to the united states in the week after it tested a previously banned missile last weekend but putin stressed though that moscow will not be drawn into a destructive new arms race with washington following the collapse of the. control treaty. i order the ministry of defense the ministry of foreign affairs and other
5:02 am
corps offices to analyze the threat level created by the activities of the united states and to undertake comprehensive measures to prepare a symmetrical response besides russia is still open to an equal and constructive dialogue with the united states to recover trust and to reinforce international security well the pentagon's test of a modified tomahawk cruise missile came just 2 weeks after the us decided to kill off the longstanding intermediate range nuclear forces agreement that project would have violated that accord which by the production of certain land based short and mid range missiles america's development of new weapons appears to be part of a broader attempt to counter rising china just this month the us defense chief said he wants to see missiles deployed in the asia pacific region drawing the ire than of both beijing and moscow with a look at the growing tensions simply put trenka. that was quick only last month this ground law inched smoking toy was illegal.
5:03 am
it's already wiping out makeshift targets off the coast of california just like that and the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty is now part of history so soon be ready to see those in different parts of the world the pentagon boss was even quick to say they want to start with the asia pacific but russia is already worried about a different part of the world to eastern europe right near the russian borders as you can see american officials have said they're launching systems in romania and poland are different from the m.k. 41 used in california well the russian government's not buying it. but the american still believes rejected this claiming that the ground based and k 41 new inching system was allegedly unable to launch tomahawk cruise missiles now the fact of the violation is evident it is impossible to dispute it they themselves spoke
5:04 am
about it and of course the question arises how can we now understand what will be located in remaining poland with the missile defense systems or missile strike systems sufficiently long range so why was the i.m.f. treaty signed by the u.s. and russian leaders more than 30 years ago so crucial to make sure that europe where nowadays america's nato allies and russia actually share a border doesn't turn into a vulnerable danger zone dotted with launch pads one following the test in california the u.n. security council convened this week the russian representative threw a question in european diplomats are you actually ready to find yourself in between 2 rivaling cruise missile arsenals. are you going to avoid responsibility for what is happening to future generations forgive you for this. russia's present actions are in line with a pattern of aggression that represents a clear threat to international peace and security the russian federation bears the sole responsibility for the reason demise of the media because it would have been
5:05 am
humans do you not understand that by your responses to the americans you are returning to historical situation when missiles will target european cities from different sites. well so far most european states have a grade with the us line d.c. kept blaming russia for violating the i.m.f. deal and that was exactly how they explained their own pull out there's nothing that russia can say or show to change the fact that russia has already tested the 9 and 79 cruise missile to ranges beyond 500 kilometers in violation of the i.m.f. treaty moscow's message has remained the same all claims that they were breaking the rules are a lawyer and on friday vladimir putin had a real go at the u.s. government for what's seen in russia as completely twisting their reality in favor of uncle sam's ambitions. is pretty instead of fixing an unacceptable situation
5:06 am
and returning back to compliance with the treaty the americans of all constrained to propaganda campaign alleging violations by russia as is now clear this was just a smokescreen to hide washington's own breach of the treaty and its intention to leave it but this will leave 0 doubt about america's real intentions having got rid of the existing limits is now free to deploy previously forbidden missiles anywhere in the world as i said earlier though in the 1st place washington's thinking over a bold chess move in the asia pacific not that brush is far from that area either but it's clear want countries on the mind of strategists and the scene in the 1st place people in the trump administration. yell that. they need to push back on beijing and the hard way they feel that they're running out a tie feeling that china is getting stronger and they need to act fast to provoke china into some kind of military conflict all the things that involve china right
5:07 am
now is really just a bigger is just a piece of the bigger picture political tensions between us and china whether it's a trade war whether it's taiwan whether it's hong kong protests. rose focus on the g. 7 now in the south of france live pictures to show you want to come for these protesters protests getting underway for a 2nd day of the southwest of france there as those world leaders meet for the g. 7 summit in the resort of a beer it's thousands of demonstrators turning out the city of beyond us with those pictures to come from calling for urgent action to tackle poverty inequality in the destruction of the environment you can see where the speaking at the moment the all . so discontented with the present mccrone it looks like they're all over your picture room upside. looks like it's quiet there at the moment but the was a bit of a for yesterday. to us was used at some points and there was some trouble to say 3
5:08 am
people at the moment people just sitting down saying we're thing hoping to be heard they've been carrying flags banners and if it's use of those world leaders trying to get their message across anyway this is what happened yesterday. while it was mostly peaceful again please do that one point as a side used to you can and tear gas and water cannons to disperse a small group of some of these protests is that to get violent demonstrations also took place elsewhere in the region to the hope that their message will be heard by g 7 leaders and the media. that much that people don't know we're here to fight against this capitalist system that leads to so much destruct. shouldn't so many levels. but i look i'm here to fight against this capitalist rule the world to say we've had enough of the situation that's leading us to total destruction as a species as a culture and to the destruction of human rights because. i came here to protest
5:09 am
against the g 7 and the policies of those countries' leaders it's ridiculous for the heads of 7 of the richest countries to claim inequality is the main theme of this for well at the same time we see how their own policies bring about inequality because when the most academic 7 of the most powerful countries in the world have gathered only to divide the world's wealth between themselves we talk about the fight against inequality but i think this is nonsense as always for the past 45 years i have been going to this release and i could tell you that none of this summits have every done anything good for ordinary people well chipping in to the international aid organization that's also accuse the g. 7 nations of failing to address growing inequality in fact that the new report it says that in the u.s. the poorest 50 percent of the population own just one percent of the country's wealth seems germany in the u.k. not far behind that figure either in the week jacqueline spoke to john date head of government relations about his organization's new research. why do you think the g
5:10 am
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. 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. poland joined the u.s. in criticizing germany for failing to meet nato defense spending target calling on
5:11 am
its neighbor do increase its contributions and quickly to its despite the recent revelation that berlin has actually been spending millions of euros more than previously thought on american troops stationed in germany or europe correspondent peter all of it was on that story in the week. 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 now struck about germany i mean germany honestly is not paying their fair share do you think germany is doing enough to meet the to press on 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 is supposed to be doing with respect to later on the thing is though opposition politicians have requested from the finance ministry documents that show
5:12 am
that actually germany has been spending more than was thought for the privilege of having u.s. troops in the country over the last 7 years germany's contributed 243000000 euros directly to the us armed forces for things like pension contributions and building maintenance there's also being 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 party 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 half 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.
5:13 am
troops pulled out of the country altogether germany's a morgue and the $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 fossils 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 to the united states to put that in a 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 suggested the u.s.
5:14 am
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 oliver r.t. berlin. russia a state of the art aircraft groundbreaking aviation technology lead him and ship excitement building them in the russian capital at least ahead of the max 2019 big show again which gets going on tuesday a good excuse to for a correspondent on one quarter to climb into the cockpit with those magnificent machines. 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
5:15 am
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.
5:16 am
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 its skills and this book to decide for themselves what they like of course we will show what we do best and what's new. yeah that's to come back to present. in the stories of the break. to support claims that the gas lobby group to get pipeline protests but i'm tell you all about it
5:17 am
when we come back. manufacture consensus public will. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the flaming. lips and be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. that's my life that's how i started on wall street 40 years ago and i've been
5:18 am
living in the log serious life ever cheaper money ever since literally not having to work a day in my life because the assets bought it 40 years ago have gone straight up. again you want to know it's international. has apparently revealed that a major u.s. oil and gas lobby group helped craft legislation that criminalized the pipeline protests no this was in response to demonstrations against the construction back in 2016 of a pipeline in north dakota you may recall these pictures during which activists chained themselves to equipment reported at the top protest has also started fires when the authorities tried to remove them from the site with more now is khaled
5:19 am
mopin. if you want to have big influence in washington d.c. and need to have a big lobby and that means you need to have big money meet the american fuel and petrochemical manufacturers the f.p.m. represents all the big names in the energy markets koch industries. chevron exxon mobil valero energy to name a few now the f.p.m. has been around since 1902 making sure that the voice of the ultra wealthy oil monopolists are not left out of the political process and it seems like their latest target has been protesters now the a.t.f. has crafted legislation in 22 different states already passed in 9 states that would severely restrict the activities of political activists who might get in the way of oil pipelines and other profitable infrastructure in an audio recording obtained by the intercept the group's senior vice president discusses the strategy that they're using to criminalize protests.
5:20 am
now the language of the riot boosting act is a little bit vague it could be a stretch to outlaw even thinking about protesting big oil companies. now this is the only law that's been pushed by the a.f.p. i am 28 teen age 30000000 dollar lobbying effort killed the carbon tax in washington state bigger cars means more gasoline and more gasoline means more profits for the oil companies the money and influence of big oil certainly outweigh
5:21 am
the efforts of grassroots environmentalist everybody knows that in the united states of america if you want something you have got to pay for it and the oil industry certainly has all the means necessary but artsy new york. bridge for example. broke his silence on his friendship with jeffrey epstein insisting he knew nothing of the convicted paedophiles and legal behavior the disgraced american financier recently killed himself in jail while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges but despite the juice attempt to try to put an end to speculation about their relationship he didn't explain why he continued to see epstein after the multi-millionaires served a sentence for soliciting prostitution from a minor at no stage during the limited time i spend with him did i see witness or suspect any behavior of the sort that subsequently led to his arrest and conviction i met mr epstein in 1909 during the time i knew him i saw him infrequently and probably no more than once or twice a year i stayed in
5:22 am
a number of his residences i've said previously that it was a mistake and an error to see him after his release in 2010. it seems death has raised a lot of questions than impromptu the huge amount of speculation so much so that his lawyers said they're not satisfied with the coroner's findings and further they say they plan to carry out their own investigation one major question is why epstein was taken off suicide watch despite having attempted to take his own life.
5:23 am
and the more u.s. attorney general william barr aside the director of u.s. prisons following up steam suicide the form of money manager was being held in a facility reserved for the most dangerous criminals alongside the likes of el chapo than a terrorist mexican drug barons we spoke next and tomorrow furnish a lawyer for the disgraced financier. the conditions to which he was subjected would go even the needs of the strongest among us it's this is one of the toughest federal pretrial detention facilities in the country and the conditions are inhumane epstein was subjected to conditions that were
5:24 am
similar to those of guzman but not remotely justified by his character or what he was accused of because he was not. a violent individual like chapo was alleged to have been and he's not a guy who has escaped from prior facilities like guzman was alleged to have done. the real miracle is that we don't hear about these sort of things more about murdered pretrial detainees or suicidal pretrial detainees because the facility. is barbaric and it's a whole it's a it's it's like i don't use the word lightly lightly but it's sort of like an american go log for people who have not yet been convicted of anything. one doesn't want to treat the symptom while ignoring the disease and the disease is
5:25 am
how people are routinely denied bail with a shocking ease given the laws that congress passed allowing prosecutors and judge to do that yet if you want to follow more of a coverage of the story check it out see dilke home but that's the way some of the used to respond out over the last 7 days as reported by us to you it must go this sunday is kevin i'm saying thanks for watching and enjoy the rest of the weekend.
5:26 am
ah. god. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race in this spearing dramatic development the only place really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. why a paradise with so much all year round 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
5:27 am
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. welcome to everyone 2 special. friends. troubles here for the burial.
5:28 am
we same say only time that we may chop. community center fuel. is just happens all the time and we always sigh we must stop meeting like this most . of them. take the position you'll raise taxes repeat after me i swear by almighty god i swear by almighty god the evidence i should get there with him so i shall give you the truth shall be the truth a whole tree the whole truth and nothing about nothing but the truth if you stay gone for richard john work.
5:29 am
in france right. i was diagnosed very late at the age of 3 years old spent a lot of time in hospital the doctors didn't know what was wrong with my neck come to understand why i was getting swellings and bruises all over my body. richard has a form of hemophilia a rare and severe inherited disorder that impairs the blood's ability to clot the slightest injury an internal bleed or even just a bruise could cause irreparable damage. if we were going. out. every day richard inject himself with the blood clotting agent factor 8 these days it's sterile and safe but in the mid seventy's and early eighty's a treatment like this infected about 5000 people in the u.k. with either hiv or hepatitis c. or even both richard was among them and he had to undergo
5:30 am
a series of treatments. or more side effects. and sweating. to take. drugs. in the 1970 s. a new drug called factor 8 was released to using human blood it promised a much easier life for him a village they no longer needed to go to hospital and could self administered the treatment by injection at any time or convenient place. but it had one fatal flaw or about which patients knew nothing until too late. of you.
