8:01 pm
they get paid by. the fact. that. they. are broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our team international glad to have you with us as we recap the week's top stories and we start at the g. 7 summit in france where the iranian foreign minister made an unexpected visit on sunday sorry for met with the french president and later tweeted the road ahead is difficult but one worth trying. was in the studio earlier with all the developments . well it was a certainly a surprise and judging by what trump had to say not a very welcome when asked what he thought about the arena and foreign minister coming over all of a sudden he would plug coldly no comment and start of surprise the united states
8:02 pm
stands by its approach by its strategy regarding iran and that is maximum pressure on getting iran to submit and do what the united states wants to sign the deal it. wants nevertheless the europeans and that since the united states pulled out of the nuclear deal last year the europeans have been doing everything they can to try to salvage what they could to try to keep iran to abide by its nuclear commitments the sort of prevented from from getting anywhere near a nuclear weapon and this latest step is just another part of that. is it no member of the g. 7 wants iran to develop a nuclear bomb but also the g. 7 people who want stability and peace in the region and therefore do not want to take actions that could affect it in this context we discussed our various initiatives. has taken initiatives towards iran i have taken several initiatives
8:03 pm
and we have reported on them the g 7 is an informal club there is no formal mandate given within the g 7. god in all those initiatives trouble has come out and said outright that the french and the japanese can talk to whoever they want to anyone else but they don't speak for the united states he said that the united states stands by its position stands by its approach by iraq because this is no longer about an iranian nuclear deal this is no longer only about nuclear reactors and the pursuit of nuclear weapons this is now also about iran's ballistic missile program which the united states wants doubt this is also about iran's role in regional conflicts the united states 110. to pull out of them completely trumpets offering the iranians a baggage that by all appearances they would accept and now word an impasse where the united states is strangling the iranian economy applying military pressure on
8:04 pm
them the europeans are trying to save what they carry on the uranium and swear that they won't bend they have been getting reaction from tehran and europe about what the potential results or repercussions could be. by the beginning i thought like most journalists that it was an all or p.r. stunt public relations effort was for my call to make such a success but the fact that oh the foreign affairs minister of iran is there is in doubt it's a few meters away from the troll is is astonishing is astounding and it seems that is more to it if germany and france have discussed with the iranians over the last few days and i'll discuss it now with a look at the on office in beats it was the french they came to the uranium is that vince them to stay in the field and essentially what that did it actually prolonged
8:05 pm
the period did iran fully of lies by the deal and that was very good for the americans i mean it will definitely have an impact iran is playing a major role in the discussions in the g. 7 and donald trump actually made it yesterday that major decisions will be coming in the next few days so i think it is important nevertheless i think it's very very early to talk about an actual agreement between iran and the united states. protests were held throughout the weekend in southwest france against the g. 7 summit in the resort of b.r. its hundreds of social climate change to the streets of nearby they on a sunday. they could be seen carrying upside down and wrapped up the portraits of emanuel macron demonstrators are demanding that the g 7 take urgent action to tackle poverty inequality and environmental concerns at least 9000 demonstrators
8:06 pm
turned out on saturday the 1st official day of the summit. are the international aid group oxfam is also accusing the g 7 nations of failing to address inequality in a new report it says that in the u.s. the poorest 50 percent of the population own one percent of the country's wealth and the numbers are similar in germany and britain are to jump when vogue earlier spoke to oxfam's head of government relations about his charity's findings. 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
8:07 pm
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. the russian president has ordered the military deborah perry symmetrical response to the united states testing of a previously banned missile last weekend let me put in stressed though that moscow will not be drawn into a new arms race with washington following the collapse of the i.m.f. arms control treaty. i ordered the ministry of defense the ministry of foreign affairs and other cool 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
8:08 pm
security. the pentagon's test of a modified tomahawk cruise missile came just 2 weeks after the u.s. decided to kill off the long standing intermediate range nuclear forces agreement the project test would have violated that accord which band of 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 a rising china just this month the us defense chief said that he wants to see missiles deployed in the asia pacific region drawing the ire of both of beijing and moscow with a look at the growing tensions here. go. that was quick only last month this ground law and smoking toy was illegal. it's already wiping out makeshift targets off the coast of california just like
8:09 pm
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 asian 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 i mean you can see it too but the american stuff leadership today says you claiming that the ground based and kate who she 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 of you 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
8:10 pm
was the i have 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 un security council convene 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 in my interest do you not understand that by your responses to the americans you
8:11 pm
are returning to historical situation with missiles targeting 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 lot 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 that there was too bit is pretty instead of fixing and an extent to situation and returning back to compliance with the treaty that the americans will constrain to the propaganda campaign alleging violations by russia
8:12 pm
as is now clear this was just a smokescreen to hide washington's own breaches of the treaty and its intention to leave it leaves there any doubts 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 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
8:13 pm
it's the trade war whether it's taiwan whether it's the hong kong protests. russia's biggest air show will be kicking off on tuesday of maqsood 2019 or tuesday on a quarter to the skies within their banks power. 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 off their best and that's the bad and we were lucky enough to get

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 that sets the international tournament features competitors from. many european countries and known european countries including the last the airshow was 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 big taters decide for themselves what they like of course we will show what we do best and what's new the lebanese government can be armed group has blog have issued a stern warning to israel that story much more after a break this is the weekly art international.
8:16 pm
you know world of big. lot and conspiracies 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. 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks. so we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to. let it be an arms race in. the very dramatic follow through the only really. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and
8:17 pm
talk. international now lebanon has voiced its outrage over 2 suspected israeli drones which crashed in a residential area of beirut on sunday prime minister saad hariri described it as an attack on the country's sovereignty and a threat to regional security this video allegedly shows the damage caused by the drones which were laden with explosives one hit the media office of the iran backed militant group hezbollah and israel has not confirmed or deny. the incident merely saying it does not comment on foreign reports the hezbollah leader promised an imminent response saying the era of israel bombing lebanon while it remains at
8:18 pm
peace has ended and this happened shortly after israeli warplanes bombed targets in near the syrian capital late on saturday prime minister benjamin netanyahu said the raids were aimed at preventing iranian drone strike. if someone rises to kill you rise up and kill them all in a complicated operation by all security forces we determined iran's quds force dispatched a special units of shiite militants into syria to kill israelis in the golan heights with explosive drones with great determination and imperfect israeli army operational and intelligence fashion we preempted them and thwarted this attack which we asked political analysts for their views on the israeli operation and how it could affect the region. benjamin thing you know what has been generally cautious and has it and he has learned from past experience mostly by
8:19 pm
he's predicting that it is not useful for a prime minister put being confident to launch a campaign immediately on the eve of an election because usually depravity resent it and the public is going to punish if it is true that israel did violate iranian airspace and there is probably a very good reason for it because iran is a global supporter of terror iran is a country that has denied the existence of very existence of the state of israel i think israel has every right to defend itself israel has mentioned that in the past and israel will protect its citizens whatever that means when it comes to the iranian threat if it's in a really a rainin. clear threat a radiant terror threat israel will work to stop that threat and make sure that it cannot be successful. clashes erupted again in hong kong on sunday as
8:20 pm
the city's protest campaign continues some activists were scenes going bricks and other projectiles while taking cover under their umbrellas police respond with tear gas it's already in hong kong appear to be taking a hardline approach as they marched out of the demonstrators in huge numbers this comes after the semi-autonomous chinese territory was rocked by violence on saturday night which resulted in $29.00 arrests people in the city are protesting what they see as the erosion of the one country 2 systems policy and beijing's influence over the city's affair. britain's prince andrew has broken his silence on his friendship with geoffrey epstein insisting he knew nothing of the convicted pedophiles illegal behavior the disgraced american financier killed himself in jail this month while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges but despite the duke's attempt to put an end to speculation about their relationship he
8:21 pm
didn't explain why he continued to see epstein after the multimillionaire had served a sentence for soliciting prostitution from a minor and 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 1009 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 off his release in 2010. epstein's death has raised plenty of questions and prompted a huge amount of speculation so much so that his lawyers say that they are not satisfied with the coroner's findings and plan to carry out their own investigation one major question is why epstein was taken off suicide watch despite previously having attempted to take his own life.
8:22 pm
all in more fallout u.s. attorney general william barr has sacked the director of u.s.
8:23 pm
prisons following epstein's suicide epstein was being held at a facility reserved for the most dangerous criminals alongside the likes of the notorious mexican drug baron known as el chapo we spoke to lawyer mark furnish who represented both of them. the conditions to which he was subjected would buckle 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 chapman chapo was alleged to have been he's not a guy who is. scaped from prior facilities like guzman was alleged to have done.
8:24 pm
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 how whole it's 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. all right that does it for me in this hour i'll be back with more of the weekly in about $35.00 and
8:25 pm
a half minutes stay with us. welcome to maximize their evil god. that's with them. yanks this is what happens defenses in britain delegates. watched as a report. with the make this manufacture consensus public will. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the famous merry go round. we can all middle of the room signals. going to mean real news.
8:26 pm
you know world a big part of the new law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back 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 close watch of the hawks. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.
8:27 pm
why a paradise with some around turned into a round the experimentation field for agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major here tens 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 who have 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. well that's my life that you know i started on wall street 40 years ago and i've
8:28 pm
been living in the log cheeriest life of ever cheaper money ever since and literally not having to work a day in my life because the assets plotted 40 years ago have gone straight up. so right now we're driving through both neighborhoods and you can see time and distance from each gang. so this is jordan. this is the territory claimed by the great street crips during war time bonnie hunt is now less likely to come in here because this is one way an octave one way out so once you come in and do a shooting you're trapped in their neighborhood and they can return fire so it's not the safest way to to avenge a shooting so often they'll go on the outskirts of the neighborhood hoping to get a great street kripke that's a lot of times when innocent people get shot. so in the next couple of days someone
8:29 pm
from this development most likely will go over towards nickerson like they have the last couple of days and commit a shooting and vice versa so all these neighborhoods now are in play. for him. several months ago. a gentleman with the moniker of menace from 15 hill was caught inside the gang territory of the village voice a couple of the village boys. went outside jumped on menace beat him down and stuck to mr ashby you. and. they took the trash here and brought him back behind another house and tortured him they sodomized him they sliced him up with a machete and when they sliced him up they put in the end his chest the village voice. and then they continued to torture him and they wrapped him up in
8:30 pm
a rug burned and dumped him in long beach there's one thing about beating a guy down or killing them but the torture of the sodomy all that stuff that's that's just what gang members do so they found menace right around here beat him down put him in the trash can and then they will am. to this location here. with a murder him assault them sodomized him and torture him. they're not concerned with people watching them commit crimes or being prosecuted because of that. they'll go after witnesses they'll intimidate them and if they have to the old will even try to kill them you can see how they're marking up their neighborhood and village voice. my personal opinion is a lot of gangs get a sympathetic ear to the general public and when the public's posed to exactly what these guys do.
