when so many find themselves worlds apart. she says to look for common ground. the french leader speaks out of a quote tension and conflict within the ranks of the g 7 as the host wraps up the sights in the luxury resort of barrett's. radical new rules and force a google with the tech titan telling employees not to engage in political debate at work. on the family of a british sudanese man who's been languishing in jail in sudan without charge for more than $100.00 days condemn as they put it the british foreign office is disappointing response.

by this when i am on tuesday here in moscow where if you choose again welcome to the international break with the world news this hour 1st off then the french president has opened up about an era of tension and conflict heading into the g. 7 summit which is now wrapped up emmanuelle mccrone earlier held a joint news conference with donald trump in southwest france where the leaders play down any apparent rift. he the model of 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 that we've had since saturday evening together i want to thank you very much mr president for the incredible job you did this is a truly successful g 7 there was tremendous unity it was great unity. president mccrum stated that the leaders only managed to agree on a one page declaration from the summit charter to bensky takes a closer look at what might have been in the document. present trump and president

mccollum 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 present man himself highlighting that this summit in berates had been full of tension and they feel there was a lot of nervousness at the outset a lot of expectations a lot of tensions and we had a lot of conflicts. well one of the biggest tensions going into this meeting was what would happen a wrong of course the u.s. and the door will trump famously pulled out of the iranian nuclear deal just over a year ago because donald trump said it just wasn't a good enough deal since then president has tried to sort of be the go between between iran and the united states meanwhile the united states has placed sanctions on iran there's been these growing tensions in the persian gulf and the president

might call an ace up his sleeve at this summit he pilled a rather diplomatic move and flew in the iranian foreign minister to be a rates for discussions about iran now 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 the president trump now and he also then went on to say that it no way would it be possible or did he want for iran to secure a nuclear weapon nor for the country to fall go with its commitments to that nuclear accord 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 thing that they talked about was the trade war between the usa and

china president 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 that 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 hasn't put high enough tariffs on china. and then there was the other film the issue of russia and whether russia could be reintegrated into the g. 7 making it once again the g 8 president trumpet muted this idea during a dinner he'd been supported apparently by the italian prime minister but not the other leaders who were all in disagreement again at the press conference today don't trip 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 rejoin at the g 7 we know that president putin has said previously that once she leaves something no longer exists. the g 8 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 know what she was there are other international organizations which play a significant role in international affairs take the g 20. but they did 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 and principle of tax france it said it was absolutely necessary because the

big companies like google like amazon like facebook and apple were not paying tax it seems that there has been agreement between the 2 countries and france looks like it's now going to grow back and if not to proceed with that so-called gap attacks that's probably a good thing because president trump had threatened that he would put a huge tax on french wine he's also previously said that he doesn't think french wine is very good but perhaps it's the 1st leg. that loves french wine you know i can confirm that the 1st lady loved you a french one ok all right you love your french one so thank you very much we do know is chummy in front of the camera today but still so many disagreements not just between presidents trump and not gone but also the other leaders of the g 7 nations. ok we have been getting a reaction from around europe let's cross live to the u.s. now and talk to see the libertarian party politician of in for

a welcome back to see mr for a so again reportedly tensions between donald trump and the rest of the g. 7 table i guess not as bad as last year when he disappeared off to talk to north korea and now best of his host the canadian prime minister last time so i suppose mr mccrone can count this is a win. the win here to me is essentially a hollow victory the g. 7 is to the world at what the federal reserve is the united states is a meddling problematic internationally damaging organization whose time has come and gone and we no longer should be having the 7 meetings at all in my view and so which half of this is a head to head a quote victory to me that is far less important than the question of should we have a g.'s at all and i simply don't think that we should which is the difference is the get blown wide open a tower if for instance total troops go to reaction whether they be for allies already made but even the new british prime minister or the g 7 criticized him on

that how does europe see further cooperation with washington with those waiting in the wings. right now the tariffs that trump has put on have been primarily self destructive they have hurt american businesses and if he puts more terrorists on european imports is going to hurt american businesses more what do you what should be doing in terms of of tariffs is getting rid of all of them that's means a lower cost for american businesses a be more innovative create better. obs rather than having to pay inflated prices for the bare necessities of functioning the same what's true of all of our tariffs on china is going to be true of the tariffs on europe now converse liefer europe when they put tariffs on american goods that hurts the european people as well as for the american people while there is every reason to get rid of tariffs that does not require a g 7 or g 8 or a g 20 it simply requires individuals to say i don't want to pay more for the same

thing i mean country that unilaterally lowers tariffs is going to benefit its own citizens immediately what you make of president. to the shows top of that by getting the iranian foreign minister in. potentially extremely oakwood now although the us and the iranian delegation didn't talk i kind of enjoyed them towards considering talking did it make any difference. to me it was political theater i think that the united states and iran should talk i think that not talking to an unstable regime that is on the verge of becoming a nuclear power is a diplomatic mistake in the largest degree whether that's a winner from across that you're going after as because supporters but i will say that the concept of the united states ending this separation with iran ending all trade sanctions on iran letting the american people and the iranian people trade freely is actually the 1st step to

a freer with trade go ideas if we are able to buy and sell products from arabia from red in iran can buy and sell products from the united states that means that american ideas the ideas of liberalism the ideas of equal rights the idea of respect for life those are ideas that go with the product and it's so important if we want to spread american great great american ideas that we keep the avenues of trade open ok i'll have more in washington d.c. thanks for joining us on. the. pharmaceutical giant johnson and johnson has been found responsible for the 1st time of causing an opioid crisis in the us the company was accused of pushing doctors in to prescribing opioids neglecting the downside such as the risk of addiction we're going to get more on this now from our correspondent kind of mopin kind of what else to be learned from this pretty non-knowledge ruling. well it was indeed a landmark ruling johnson and johnson the drug maker manufacturer big pharma giant

corporation has been found guilty in oklahoma they've been ordered to pay $572000000.00 to the state of oklahoma in order to try and deal with the ongoing opioid epidemic this is the 1st time we've seen an opioid manufacturer taken to court and had it gone all the way to trial here's some of what was said during the judge's ruling the judge bachmann has affirmed or position that johnson and johnson motivated by greed and avarice is responsible for the yoke you would have to make. johnson and johnson will finally be hill accountable for thousands of deaths and addiction caused by their activities. now essentially at the trial the prosecution argued that johnson and johnson and its

subsidiaries overstated the effectiveness of their products opioid products in treating chronic pain and furthermore they understated the risk the of addiction posed by their products they understated how dangerous on how potentially addictive their products actually work now this ruling that has come down is big news and previously to this we've seen various different opioid manufacturers and drug companies in the united states avoid going to trial by settling and settlements have come down for hundreds of millions of dollars it seems that the big drug companies in the us have done a lot to try and avoid a case ever going to trial now this particular case was not originally only against johnson and johnson originally produced pharma was part of the case however they reached a settlement of $270000000.00 and were then taken out of the case of

a pharmaceutical industry's they've made a settlement for $85000000.00 so johnson and johnson was the lone defendant in that case they have been found guilty however they do expect to be appealing the case they don't think that the verdict will be held up so at this point this is a big deal this is a very very big deal for the united states as the opioid crisis continues and many in the united states argue that big pharmaceutical companies should indeed be held responsible this is the 1st time it's ever gone to trial this is the 1st conviction in civil court where a pharmaceutical company has been found to be liable in a court proceeding for the opioid epidemic a major ruling from a. kind of open in new york thanks for that. the crisis goes back to the 990 s. when opioid based drugs flooded the u.s. market the problem grew as patients turned to heroin dealers after their

prescriptions and started to run out of 2018 almost 70000 people died from drug overdoses across the country on average 130 americans die every day from an opioid overdose the legal battle against the drug manufacturers is ongoing as caleb mentioned in dozens of us states. next one celebrated as a further promoted free thought and lively discussion google has issued a new set of community guidelines banning political debate at 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 xenophobia 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 each been hired to do not to spend working time on debates about non-work topics companies 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 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 and abused 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 have not really seen

and that'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 i don't think it'll work i think it will backfire.

lebanon has lost the united nations to put pressure on israel over a recent series of strikes that hit targets in lebanon on sunday and monday lebanese leaders didn't mince their would swim describing the right. does the declaration the wall that allows us to defend so sober into independence and through to rule into a group called into reports tel aviv launched a 3 as strikes on apparent palestinian paramilitary groups based in the east of lebanon while on sunday 2 drones believed to be israeli crashdown in beirut and hit buildings being used by the iran backed hezbollah party it's believed there were no fatalities the death of an iran backed militia member in iraq has however been pinned on israel that raid also took place on sunday while in neighboring syria israel confirmed an operation that targeted a shiite militia group and possible in may and military advisers prime minister benjamin netanyahu said action was taken to thwart an imminent attack earlier we heard from regional experts on what's behind tel aviv and teheran's respective strategies. iran is trying to envelope israel from all of the

sides through which is affectively iran through syria through iraq and even through gaza it's like a big octopus sending its arms in order to strangle israel israel has no issue with iran if iran would focus inward on its own people and stop trying to destroy israel as it explicitly says it will do and tear around the world we would have no issue with iran however iran has decided. to build forces in to strangle israel but we're not going to wait with defense systems you don't win by playing defense you have to preempt and that's what we will do the problem you have is very loose like this oil brought over the world. and because no one no one calls it to account it's allowed to get away with essentially murder. it's targeted

and hit 3 separate sovereign countries in the past few days i see no one questioning why israel is doing something or why israel is provoking this situation at the end of the day israel needs to understand that iran has said this time and time again that look you're playing with fire don't do this don't be silly behave yourself iran has been a real interest in starting a war and iran will not start a war it's a long time and i have said it categorically however what iran will do if it is attacked or its allies within the resistance axis are directly attacked they will retaliate and rightly so because in this case the aggressor the one who's instigating problems who's lying and making up fairy stories because it's control and influence within the mainstream media is israel and everyone knows israel is a rogue state it's a country that is close to 400 nuclear weapons targeted at multiple countries and yet no n.p.t. and no questioning no no discussion about it yet iran which has

a nuclear program energy program constantly gets accused of making nuclear weapons and all this stuff which is slightly from the supreme leader's own discourse is for . family of a british sudanese man who's been held for more than 3 months in a sudanese prison have strongly condemned what they call the u.k. government's disappointing lack of action camelot was imprisoned in may after criticizing on social media the african nations transitional military council but was later cleared by prosecutors of any wrongdoing. i had the chance to speak to one of mr ahmed's daughters about his continuing detention. 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 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 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 it's obvious this is

a human rights violation and i would call upon the human you know international human rights organizations to get involved in my father's case i think that does need to be more attention on this to pressurize the british government into taking action against unjust attention i'm all the 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 apart and 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 ought to liverpool. and i told this for you the british foreign office has stated that it is in contact with the sudanese orthorexic concerning carol ahmed's detention if we do hear any more from the forward office so for mr ahmed from me will will of course let you know that's it

for me thanks for watching you covered in the coming hours here on r.t. from moscow. well that's my life but you know i started on wall street 40 years ago and i've been living in a large areas life of ever cheaper money ever since literally not having to work a day in my life because they are so spotted 40 years ago have gone straight up.

little. low.

it. just so. slowly. and very well might continue watching us instead. it's seemed wrong. but old rules just don't. mean you get to shape out just to become educated and engaged with equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. 2006 i was substituting for a 5th grade class all of sudden it's kids come 1st. really agitated one of the boys to their health and on the way he collapsed the next morning. not spraying anything but. actually gone out and taking pictures when all this chaos was going on the school and students were being and they were spraying right in the feels right adjacent to. a follow up study was done on that $32.00 page study the last 4 pages are the chemicals that they have found.

we have shown an association between organophosphate exposure as measured by those metabolites in the mother's urine during pregnancy and shorten just station abnormal neonatal reflexes decreased mental development in the children at 2 years of age decreased i.q. at age 7 and 10 years of age pervasive developmental disorder which is like. symptoms attention problems and. poor executive functioning in pre-adolescents and we have also shown that there are some populations of people might be more affected than others i have virtue of their genetics. protecting our kids from chemicals is a common sense thing that everybody can get behind leave points to examples in recent years of students getting sick from pesticides used by farmers near schools . and several incidents in 2008 in why may on where dozens of students got

sick after pesticide was applied here by seed corn plot we've seen examples. after example where we've had to rush children from a public school to an e.r. like the ones i work in across the state for severe home an area lung problems we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise why would that a chemical company workers themselves be geared up and suited up what happened with why i'm in middle school was particularly egregious the state of hawaii department of agriculture does not do it with respect to investigating complaints about pesticide drift and for years this is been the case it doesn't monitor the air it doesn't monitor the water it doesn't monitor the soil to make sure that pesticides are not leaving the fields and going into where people.
