$100.00 days condemn the u.k. foreign office is disappointing response. coming from russia's capital city my name's you know male 30 minutes of news and views start with. french president among you will mccrone has opened. tension conflicts heading into the g. 7 summit which is now wrapping up he just held a joint news conference with donald trump in the southwest of france where the leaders played on any part and. 1st of all i would like to thank president trump and all the heads of state and government present here for the extremely productive work and very productive discussions we've had since saturday evening together i want to thank you very much mr president for the incredible job you did
12:02 pm
this is a truly successful. there was tremendous unity it was great unity. across the g. 7 summit and those remarks for a surf around space correspondent charlotte. charlotte so the 3 day event in the resort city appear it's pretty much coming to a close what's come from it. well as you saw there present trump and president very chummy in front of the cameras on monday afternoon but there are a long list of disagreements not just between those 2 leaders but also between other leaders of the g. 7 president himself highlighting that this summit. had been tension. and if the there was a lot of nervousness at the outset a lot of expectation a lot of tension and we had a lot of conflicts. well one of the biggest tensions going into this meeting
12:03 pm
was what would happen over a role and of course the u.s. under donald trump famously pulled out of the iranian nuclear deal just over a year ago because it all trump said it just wasn't a good enough deal since then president obama is trying to sort of be between between iran and the united states meanwhile the united states is placed sanctions on iran there's been these growing tensions in the persian gulf and the president might call and had an ace up his sleeve at this summit he pulled a rather diplomatic move and flew in the iranian foreign minister to be over it's all discussions about iran. there was no meeting between the u.s. delegation and iran but today at the press conference president machen said he very much hoped that in the next few weeks there would be a meeting between president rouhani of iran and president trump now and he also
12:04 pm
then went on to say that no way would it be possible or did he want iran to secure a nuclear weapon. for the country to fall go with its commitments to the nuclear now president trump on the other hand would he be in agreement to meet president rouhani he didn't seem to be that certain that this would be going ahead and the other thing that they talked about was the trade war between the usa and china president much saying that the uncertainty that that was causing was actually bad for the global economy and he wanted to see a trade deal done very very quickly now we know that president trump says he's due to meet with the chinese delegation later this week to discuss trade war he says that they're looking for a deal but he also had said during this summit that is only regretted not tradeable so far is that he hadn't put high enough tariffs on china and then there was the
12:05 pm
other thorny issue of russia and whether russia could be reintegrated into the g. 7 making it once again the g. 8 president trump admitted this idea during a do you know he's been supported apparently by the italian prime minister but not the other leaders who are all in disagreement again at the press conference today donald trump spoke about this saying it was better to have russia in the tent and outside and it was necessary because russia was a big power to talk about global issues with them but would russia want to read joined at the g 7 and know that president putin said previously that once you leave something no longer exists. you could be. doesn't exist anymore how can i return to an organization which doesn't exist today it's the g 7 regarding a potential format with 8 member states we never reject any proposals some time ago it was russia's turn to hold a g. 8 meeting but our partners didn't. but they did
12:06 pm
seem to be some disagreement over the gaffer taxes has been a source of tension between france and the united states the last few months ever since france said it was going to introduce this tax on digital giants the u.s. had previously accuse france of double taxation which sort of goes against the rules in principle tax francis said it was absolutely necessary because the big companies like google like amazon like facebook and apple were not paying enough tax it seems that there has been an agreement between the 2 countries and france looks like it's now going to grow back and not proceed with that so-called gap attacks and that's probably a good thing because president trump had threatened that he would put huge tariffs on french wine he's also previously says that he doesn't think french wine is very good but as trump as we know likes to. return to his opinion very quickly
12:07 pm
and today he's decided that he does like french wine. though i can't confirm that the 1st lady loved your french wine ok. you love your french one so thank you very much that's right. ok so perhaps it's the 1st lady that loves french wine but what we do know is chummy in front of the camera today but still so many disagreements not just between presidents. but also the other leaders of the g 7 nations charles thanks for taking us through all that from the last number of days in the south off from charles in paris. and tensions at the g. 7 it wasn't all doom and gloom here's a few moments of the more affectionate times. let's

move the program on one celebrated as a firm that promoted free thoughts on lively discussion google has issued a new set of community guidelines. work the decision marks the culmination of several years of intense scrutiny over its policies both internal and external and its influence on public 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
12:09 pm
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 primary responsibility is to do the work we each been hired to do not to spend working time on debates about a number of 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. and.
12:10 pm
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 late 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 and 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 targeting political speech now that i've not really seen
12:11 pm
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 will work i think it will backfire. if only british sudanese mon who's been held for over 3 months at
12:12 pm
a sudanese prison strongly condemned what they call the u.k. government's disappointing lack of action it was imprisoned in may after criticizing on social media the african nations transitional military council but was later cleared by prosecutors of any wrongdoing. or had the chance to speak to one of mr mintz daughters about it is continuing the tension. 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 protecting 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
12:13 pm
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 they're 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
12:14 pm
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 his unjust attention i'm all the case is not unique
12:15 pm
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 apparently 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 take government doing all it can to secure the wealth that human rights of all its citizens sask taylor r.t.m. livable just a short update on this the u.k. foreign office has stated it's in contact with the sudanese forward concerning. detention we will of course we keep on top of the situation. so ahead we look at the case of a texas man who was executed on rape murder charges last week the spider insisting going to live very end that he was innocent.
12:16 pm
same wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to say proud just being educated and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. get to the right to be closer this is like the 4th tree in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the water using the. first sip.
12:17 pm
12:18 pm
let's go through some of the primary aspects of this case prosecutors are adamant swearing engine was responsible for the murder they earlier argued there were quotes months since of evidence demonstrating his guilt including for instance bits of the victim's clothing found in his trailer swearing jane 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 but his defense claims there were significant the scrap and sees in the prosecution's chronology and on the basis he could in all to have been responsible they also allege that the clothing in the former elektra trailer may have belonged to someone else entirely i'm not the blood fall into under the victim's fingernails didn't belong to either her or swearing at
12:19 pm
the 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 woods after mr sware 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 pantyhose 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

there's unequivocally no truth to these claims we've been going through a painful personal separation that's now unfortunately in the media. ok i'm sorry but if this was me i would definitely own up to this how cool would it be to be the 1st human intergalactic space criminal. that potentially the 1st crime in space may have been committed by a woman and a lesbian speaks to how far we've come. that would be astronauts john mcclain if this is true will have us her legacy this crime instead of anything else she accomplished.
