in the stories that shaped the week calls for asymmetrical response to. tensions grow following the collapse of the. treaty. water. protesters close to the g. 7 summit the demonstrators are world leaders take urgent. climate change. to fight against this rule the world and talk about the fighting. but i think this is nonsense. they dizzying display takes to the

skies with russia. before the show. but. if you missed any of the big stories from the past 7 days you're in the right place for a news recap the weekly starts now with me and o'neill. the russian president ordered the country's military to prepare a symmetrical response to the united states testing a previously by. weekend. stressed however that moscow will not be drawn into a destructive new arms race with washington following the arms control treaty.

i order the ministry of defense the ministry of foreign affairs and other 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 let's go through this the pentagon's test of a modified tomahawk cruise missile came just 2 weeks after the u.s. the solder to kill off the long standing intermediate range nuclear forces agreement the projectile would have violated that accord which by the production of certain land based short mid range missiles or america's development of new weapons appears to be part of a broader attempt to counter a rising china just this month the us defense chief said he wants to see missiles deployed in the asia pacific region drawing the ire of both beijing and moscow with

a look at the growing tensions here sylvia for trying. that was quick only last month this ground law inched smoking toy was illegal. 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 busy 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 kate food he will know 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 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 of 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 the represents a clear threat to international peace and security of the russian federation because the sole responsibility for the reason demise of the treaty was it would have been 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 n f deal and that was exactly how they explained their own pull out there's nothing that russia can say osho to change the fact that russia has already tested the 979 cruise missile to ranges beyond 500 kilometers in violation of their 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 us government for what's seen in russia as completely twisting their reality in favor of uncle sam's ambitions. is pretty instead of fixing and unacceptable situation and returning back to compliance with the treaty the americans have orchestrated a 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 have incorporated 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 brushes far from that area either but it's clear want countries on the mind of strategists and the seen in the 1st place people in the trunk administration. yell that. they need

to push back on beijing and a hard way they feel that they're running out of time 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 now is really just a bigger is just a piece of the bigger picture of political tensions between us and china whether it's the trade war whether it's taiwan whether it's hong kong protests. on t.v. couple is proved to are getting underway for a 2nd day in southwest friends as world leaders meet for the g. 7 summit in the resort of beer it's at least 9 foes and demonstrators turned to in a nearby city owned cell today calling for urgent action to tackle poverty inequality the destruction of the environment.

i. used tear gas and water cologne to disperse the some of whom threw stones at officers it was also another protest along the border between france and spain which passed off peacefully the demonstrators say that with the world focused on the g 7 they hope their calls for economic justice will be heard. that much that people don't know we're here to fight against this capitalist system that leads to so much destruction in so many levels. but our new time 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 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 the company must like to make going to pubs 7 of the most powerful countries in the world have gathered only to divide the world's wealth between themselves they 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 rally and i could tell you that none of this summits have ever done anything good for ordinary people. well the international aid organization oxfam hers also accuse the g. 7 nations of failing to address growing inequality in a new report it say is that in the u.s. the poorest 50 percent of the population own one percent of the country's wealth germany the u.k. are not far behind either in the week jacqueline bouvier spoke to date oxfam's head of government relations about his organization is new research. 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. ok another story we're closely following today poland has joined the u.s. in criticizing germany for failing to meet nato's defense spending target calling

on its neighbor to increase its contributions and quickly is this by the recent revelation that berlin has actually been spending millions of euro more than previously thought on american troops stationed in germany our europe correspondent peter all of our picks on the story. 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 stuff about germany i mean germany honestly is not paying their fair share do you think germany is doing enough to meet the press on target you know. what's that going to 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 the 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 400000000 euros 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 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's a. $1000000000.00 for the

privilege of having a u.s. soldier on its soil and not only u.s. soldiers but also nuclear weapons of mass destruction that the united states brought here it can they will look the german population we want both weapons out of here fossils possible who are both. the whole 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 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. 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 oliver r.t. berlin. all right time to get stellar state of the art aircraft groundbreaking aviation technology and ship excitement is building in the russian capital ahead of the marks 2019 or a show which gets going on choose they corresponded quarter one the office sweep heat off the hip the sky. 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 for this is 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 that 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 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. ok for all the week's top stories after the break among them leaked all viola appears to support claims that a powerful u.s.

oil and gas lobby group has been working to get the pipeline protest and we'll get into that it's one thing. when lawmakers manufacture consent to the public will. when the room in closest to protect themselves. in the final merry go round to be the one percent. we can all middle of the room signals. to the real news.

that's my life that i started on wall street 40 years ago and i've been living in a log serious life ever cheaper money ever since literally not having to work a day in my life because they assets bought it 40 years ago have gone straight up. a look at the leaked order you owe us apart we were the loving me us or link else lobby group helped craft legislation that criminal pipeline protests that was in response to demonstrations against the construction of a pipeline in north dakota in 26th during which activists chained themselves to quit and protesters also started fires when the authorities tried to remove them

from the site with more on the story here's what. you want to have big influence in washington d.c. and we 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 f.p.m. has crafted legislation in $22.00 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. well. we're. 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. i . know this is the only law that's been pushed by the am $28.00 team a $30000000.00 lobbying effort killed a 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 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. washes hell of iraq to begin in hong kong this sunday as the city's pro democracy protest campaign continues right police fired tear gas in an attempt to disperse the crowds of demonstrators some octopus have been throwing bricks and shining strong laser beams out of office which the authorities appear to be taking a tough line deploying water cannon for the 1st time in recent months it comes after the semi autonomous chinese territory was rocked by violence on saturday night in which 29 people were arrested people in the city are protesting what they see as the erosion of the one country 2 systems policy and chinese influence over

the cities of. britain's prince under who has broken his silence on his friendship with geoffrey epstein insisting he knew nothing of the convicted paedophiles illegal behavior the disgraced american financier recently killed himself in jail while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges but the split the jukes attempt to put an end to speculation about their relationship he didn't explain why he continued to see epstein for the multi-millionaire served a sentence for soliciting prostitution from a minor. and no stage during the limited time i spent 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 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 well epstein's death

has raised a lot of questions and prompted a huge amount of speculation so much so that his lawyers survey were not satisfied with the kernersville findings and planned to carry out their own investigation one major question is why epstein was taken off suicide watch the spot having attempted to take his own life.

and in more fall into u.s. attorney general william barr sacked the director of u.s. prisons following epstein's suicide the former money manager epstein was being held out a facility reserved busy for the most dangerous criminals alongside the likes of el chapo just a few cells daryn by the way the notorious mexican drug bar and we spoke to mark 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 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 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. how people are routinely denied bail with a shocking ease given the laws that congress passed allowing prosecutors and judge to do that. is our lot for not but next taking flinching look at tiffany and all of los angeles is most notorious neighborhoods are documentary catching hell in the city of angels starts in moments. and.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy own foundation let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development only closely and going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. why a paradise with some ground turned into a round the experimentation field the 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 where 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 those because the people have less political power.
