a british sudanese mom who's been languishing in. charge for $100.00 days. as. a foreign office is disappointing. international news center in moscow this is our pleasure to have your company my names you know. top story iran's foreign minister made a. visit to the g. 7 summit in south west. to hold crisis talks with president among you will not. arrival called the other world leaders off guard though reportedly leaving the u.s. delegation blindsided. tells us what we know. traumatic diplomatic move kind of went down like a lead balloon with the white house delegation we're feeling to meet the a rainy

and foreign minister discuss that iranian deal of course the iranian foreign minister himself under u.s. sanctions at the moment so no meeting between them you might remember that there was an iranian nuclear deal signed a few years ago and there were interim became president of the united states he said this deal it's not good enough i'm pulling this out of it and he did that back last year now since then there's been a war of words with iran they have been these sanctions that have been put on iran by the u.s. and the u.s. has demanded that other leaders who are signatories that iranian nuclear deal kowtow to his demands and also pull out now the e.u. leaders who at this 7 summit and others say they're not pulling out they signatories to this accord they want it to work and perhaps one of the biggest people who supported this or a new nuclear deal is none other than french president amat corps who is also this . president now he had quite

a few tricks up his sleeve during the summit but he tried to ease the u.s. into his way of thinking very easily instead fast early on we discussed our various initiatives. has taken initiatives towards iran i have taken several initiatives and we have reported on them the g. 7 is an informal club there is no formal mandate given within the g 7. no i just. have. so you can stop people from going in they were dog and dog despite that i did setting in the south of france it was one g. 7 summit that hasn't gone without its own controversy well most of the leaders with looking to get a cord on the table to find agreement there was one who just didn't want to play ball and that was the president of the united. states yes donald trump so no agreement on easing trade tensions across the world no agreement so far on

environmental issues all those a suggestion that there will be some sort of formalization of how the leaders of the g. 7 will want to help with those fires in south america in the amazon rainforest and of course they wouldn't be g 7 in france without protests thousands of people took to the streets over the weekend in cities around to show their armies and their discontent with the g. 7 summit in fact many of them had actually been participating in an anti g 7 for the last a week there were clashes with the police although the protests were largely peaceful many arrests taking place some people injured and the security forces a huge number some 13000 in the south of france around this summit using tear gas and water cannons but the main overall conceive in the main point of this summit it seems was to try and get a chord over iran and so far it's failed we saw pictures of the french president

there getting his photo roughed up by protesters but did he pull off a diplomatic coup by inviting the iranian foreign minister that is the question we've been putting to a number of guests from boat europe around let's take a listen by the beginning i thought like most journalists it was a p.r. stunt public relations effort was too much or too low to make such a success but the fact that. the foreign affairs minister of iran is there is in a few meters away from the trauma. machine is astounding and it seems there is more to it. if germany and france have discussed with the reins over the last few days and are discussing now with a look at the office in beats it was the french they came to the ukrainians that convinced them to stay in the deal and essentially what that did it actually

prolonged 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. well jeff visit to be a reds comes as his country continues to suffer the effects of crippling u.s. sanctions and international isolation but politics aside among those bearing the brunt are really in cancer patients who say they are struggling to access vital supplies.

myth number one the united states sanctions medical supplies going to the iranian people the truth is that the united states exempt status and medical devices for the iranian people the iranian people know all too well that the real issue preventing access is the regime itself. as the reality is that the us is pushing iran under pressure and they are justifying their acts with these lawyers like the one said by mr hook in the video hook was unique chemotherapy medicine is near impossible to access and expensive on the market mr hook says we give iran's government access to the medicine but when the money transfer system is closed just how can we even buy it.

with. the realities with financial corridors in there on the books. many comes from and some from the regional providers and brands which are mostly europe and we cannot pay the foreign currency therefore you know that the provides even the most generic our government has to import from countries which are not developed in this industry. to less cracow more world news this hour once celebrated as a firm not promoting free thought so lively discussion google has issued a new set of community guidelines and they say political debate up work cannot now happen the decision marks the culmination of several years of intense scrutiny over its policies both internal and external an influence on of the discourse. i certainly find the selection deeply offensive and that i think not just in united states but around the world is what's fueling concerns zina phobia hatred and

a desire for answers that may or may not be there what we all need right now is google's management has had enough after contending with so much bad p.r. over the last year the bosses have decided to say no more politics on the shop floor while sharing information and ideas with colleagues helps build community districts in the work day to have a raging debate over policy so the latest news story does not our primary responsibility is to do the work we've each been hired to do not to spend working time on debates about non-work topics company's new guidelines demand that employees stop insulting demeaning or humiliating their coworkers and others plans or even already in place to hire a team to moderate coworkers internal message boards and while political debates are generally frowned upon at work google's earned quite the reputation.

on top of that recent leaks by google employees sparked accusations of widespread political bias in the company from manipulating search algorithms to fit a liberal agenda i see google executives go to congress and say that it's not going to be good it is not political and i'm just so sure that's not true to punishing those who oppose the company's political line one former worker of google even said he was fired for being conservative when i joined google i saw a lot of employees being mistreated interviews. and harassed for sharing conservative views or just for questioning company policies maybe one of the most powerful companies in the world but it seems when it comes to controlling its own

staff management just needs to google it there are always guidelines governing employee behavior of course but this these are unusual guidelines because they are specifically at targeting political speech now that i've not really seen and that it's just tremendous concern because what they're really doing here is when they're trying to suppress political speech by employees they're really trying to suppress political speech by conservative employees leakers the whistleblowers so far have come forward have been conservative employees that's what's google is most concerned about apparently even starting last year google began to restrict access to documents by its own employees so i think if you look internally in the company you'll find that they're probably doing much more extreme sayings to try to get their employees under control

then we're aware of i don't think it'll work i think it will backfire. ok moving the program on the phone leave a british sudanese mom who's been held for over 3 months in a sudanese prison strongly condemned what they call the u.k. government's disappointing lack of action. it was imprisoned in may after criticizing social media the african nations transitional military council but was later cleared by prosecutors of any wrongdoing r.t. saskia taylor got the chance to speak to one of mr ahmed's daughters about his continuing attention. on the 11th of may 6th year old. british sudanese citizen was arrested and detained in khartoum despite a prosecutor finding him not guilty of any alleged crimes the sudanese authorities refuse to release him i've come to liverpool where one of kamala's daughters lives

she tells me her father's story and how anger at the british government for its failure to take action and protect one of its own citizens were extremely worried obviously it's been 3 months now we're going into the 4th month of his detention despite the fact that he has not been charged with anything and his release has been ordered. it still hasn't been carried out gaining access to kemal in prison is difficult and unreliable even his own lawyer has not been allowed to visit him but as it has been once and described the conditions there are very isolated from the outside world they don't have access to telephone calls we've tried to send in newspapers he's not allowed access to newspapers. he's not been allowed access to his lawyer which is a basic human right for all detainees kemal moved to the u.k. in 1986 and worked for the n.h.s. as a doctor for 20 years all 4 of his children are british citizens too but the foreign

office has been unresponsive to pleas from commands family to step in and secure his freedom the embassy in khartoum haven't actually had direct contact with my father we as a family have been in contact with them updating them on my father's condition unfortunately they've had very little input so our only contact with the foreign office has been through our m.p. . and they've been very slow to respond their responses have been very disappointing i think it's very shameful it reflects very badly on the british government. whether you're a jewel national or british national if there's injustice happening then you need to take action early on. in his detention kemal went on an 8 day hunger strike hoping to draw attention to his plight but though it sparked protests in his hometown the international community failed to take notice it was a cry for attention and he went on

a hunger strike for 8 days but unfortunately fell on deaf ears is obvious this is a human rights violation and i would call upon human international human rights organizations to get involved in my father's case i think there does need to be more attention on this to pressurize the british government into taking action against unjust attention and also case is not unique a recent petition to force the foreign office to make its protection of citizens an obligation not a choice reveals that as many as 1000 brits are currently being detained abroad without trial as as un others like her take matters into their own hands one can also the question is do you create government doing all it can to secure the welfare and human rights of all its citizens sask taylor our team liverpool just an update on this before we go to break the u.k. foreign office is in contact with the sudanese authorities concerning. and we will

be keeping on top of the situation. leg. length. lens. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the

world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see you then. 17 minutes into the program welcome back a mom in texas has been executed over the rape and murder of a college student from over 2 decades ago a crime laurie swearing gen always insisted he did not commit.

prosecutors around them and swearing jane was responsible for the murder the earlier argued there were quote month of evidence demonstrating his guilt including for instance bits of the victim's clothing found in his trailer surgeon had also asked the fellow inmate to write a letter to his lawyer purporting to be the real killer additionally he had a track record of violence against women. his defense teams there were significant discrepancies in the prosecution's chronology and on the basis he could not have been responsible they also allege that the clothing in the former electricians trailer may have belonged to someone else and that the blood find under the victim's fingernails did not belong to either her or swearing to be executed man's

lawyer told us more about the conflicting evidence. we presented the opinions of no less than 5 medical examiners who reviewed the path ology who reviewed the histology and all converged on a single conclusion which was that the body was left in the wood after mr square engine was incarcerated they all work pro bono on mr square engines case they did not ask for a dime the examiner that 1st compared those 2 pieces of panty hose said they were not a physical match it took 2 and a half days and eventually she made them match mr swear engine was poor he was an educated and he did very ignorant things that made him look guilty we believe that the state needs to take some action about how the scientific evidence is presented and evaluated by the courts.

like to be other side of the global if islands broke up between police and protesters in hong kong on sunday the city state saw its worst the rest since the start of its pro-democracy campaign in june in scenes that were widely circulated in the global media one of the rallies saw must activists attacking riot officers who responded by aiming pistols at demonstrators the photos of police threatening protesters were prominently displayed in a number of leading publications here's one video of the incident though the footage presents well a far less clear picture of which signs in the wrong. yet we spoke with political analysts and journalists andrea walczak who thinks the

and its money and that it was operated and directed by the vatican at the global level and that it's been a global cover up i think that's something we've now very clearly exposed so we're going to go through all of that step by step but 1st ireland is a very catholic country when you came out publicly about your deal when you see the vatican where you supported by the irish or catholics around the world. it was a makes generally speaking when i went very public. i made a documentary with a european television station in 2002 and when that aired there was a very very strong in support of response from people here in our in our in the particular but of course there were people who didn't want me to speak about what was happening i mean i got people warning me that i should spend the rest of my life looking over my shoulder i got death threats when in the main i got a huge amount of support i think people were uphold not just the the.
