6 6 thank. you craig i'm from go one way and. i. judge finds the pharmaceutical john johnson and johnson guilty of fueling the us state opioid epidemic and causing the drug related death. of the johnson will finally be held accountable for thousands of deaths and addiction. by their activities. so today the g. 7 summit wrapping up in france now but the leaders in attendance struggling to agree on any solutions to any of the world's most pressing crisis. and tensions soar the middle east is israel's strike against a rainy in troops in syria this coming just days after

a suspected israeli drone attacks in lebanon and iraq. at midday from moscow this tuesday is kevin i am with you great to have you company with the world news headlines then starting with this a judge in oklahoma has rules that the drug maker johnson and johnson is responsible for driving the state's opioid crisis and ordered it to pay $572000000.00 in fines he said the pharmaceutical giant run a false and dangerous marketing campaign which downplayed the risk of addiction and directly contributed to said deaths johnson johnson said it will appeal the decision with a look at the implications of the case in more detail next today caleb maupin got a landmark ruling today in oklahoma the drug manufacturer johnson and johnson a giant big farm. suitable company in the united states has been found guilty and

has been ordered to pay $572000000.00 to the state of oklahoma in order to deal with the ongoing opioid epidemic in the united states this is the 1st time that a big pharmaceutical manufacturers corporation has gone to trial in a case alleging responsibility regarding the opioid crisis this is the prosecutor in the case stating what the judge ruled today judge bachmann has affirmed or position that johnson and johnson motivated by greed and avarice is responsible for the ok would have prevented interstate. johnson and johnson will finally be hill accountable for thousands of deaths and addiction caused by their activities now at the trial the prosecution argued that johnson and johnson and its subsidiaries had overstated the effectiveness of their opioid drugs when it comes

came to treating ongoing chronic pain they overstated their effectiveness in treating ongoing chronic pain and understated the risk of addiction posed by their products previously the way big pharmaceutical companies have avoided going to trial is by settling out of court and paying out hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements to avoid such a proceeding as we saw monday taking place previously it was not only johnson and johnson that stood as defendants but furthermore pardieu pharmaceuticals was on trial as well however they were and they managed to withdraw themselves from the case by paying a $270000000.00 settlement furthermore tell the pharmaceutical industries they withdrew from the case in may by paying an $85000000.00 settlement so johnson and johnson was the only defendant in the case they were found guilty now they do expect to appeal the decision the defense argues that this will not hold up in

a court of appeal they think that they will be exempt and that the the conviction will be overturned however this is a landmark moment because this is the 1st time that a big pharmaceutical company has been found at trial to be responsible for the opioid epidemic and many different forces in the united states have long argued that big pharmaceutical companies should be held responsible for the ongoing opioid epidemic that has claimed a number a large number of american lives the rates of opiate addiction of increase dramatically in the u.s. of the post 20 years cohen to get a nationwide epidemic in the late 1990 s. prescriptions for painkillers were made when an event that is pharmaceutical companies should doctors that the patients would not become addicted but up quickly became. there that in fact many people were becoming dependent with deaths from opioid overdoses reaching a record high in 2016 of 42004 the following year the government declared a public health emergency now up to $29.00 say an estimated $130.00 americans have

been dying every day as a result of opioid medicines the health crisis is also plays a huge burden on the u.s. economy and encouraging eye rates of heroin use to as a side effect addiction specialist told us that both the pharmaceutical industry and doctors a failed in their duties to customers and patients here well doctors certainly there are some responsibility for the opioid epidemic but i think to really understand how this happened in the united states it's necessary to realize that a whole generation of physicians was educated to believe that opioids are not addictive as long as you're giving them to a patient in pain and this was a message that was eagerly adopted by produced by johnson and johnson by chance and by t.v. by many other opioid manufacturers why because it helped their bottom line to sell more opioids so certainly doctors have to be reeducated as they are now they have to withhold opioids they have to stop prescribing opioids for ankle sprains for

chronic pain conditions we would not want the pendulum to swing in the opposite direction and for people who really need opioids not to be able to get them so finding some kind of middle ground is going to be essential. fred's present amount of macross held on monday what he called extremely productive g. 7 summit after 3 days of talks wrapped up and be a ritz but despite the group of will be the turning their voice in lots of optimism about the future this year's meeting produced apparently very few concrete commitments at the end of the meeting is our senior correspondent. it was nice nice stuff the weather was decent lots of people nice people good conversation and good stuff nice good in you. first 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 credible job you did

this is a truly successful g 7 there was tremendous unity it was great unity as i said nice not exactly wonderful or amazing but yet pretty nice i mean could have been better they could have agreed on something significant the cheveley little more argued the little less and the fee there was a lot of nervousness at the outset a lot of expectations a lot of tension and we had a lot of conflicts just look at the bright side there's always next year to get something done is not nice to be fair there was a lot of stuff on the agenda in the trade war with china the brazilian president's rudeness breck's of shenanigans whether to invite the largest country in the world iran for the millionth time. we all know what

trump thinks about iran much as a bit of a cold war between the 2 most of the rest of the world actually wants to go back to the nuclear agreement trump ripped up what a conundrum huh so macron invites the foreign minister of iran hoping to break the ice and surprisingly things became a little all could also unsurprisingly trump would heed his own tide before admitting it it was coming in and i respected the fact that it was coming in he met with president of. iran is a very difficult situation. there. in the positions are a very good position from the standpoint of economics and that's ok because we concluded a very quickly even said he's open to meeting iran's president when the time is right perhaps after another few rounds of sanctions once they find something in iran they haven't sanctioned yet speaking of sanctions that trade war is still

raging. one man's sanctions are another man's tariffs and the united states likes both so much so trump says he regretted not imposing more tariffs on chinese made goods because trump making companies and consumers the average american pay more for ordinary stuff is great for everyone which didn't go down well with the rest of the summit squad just think. of of you lot of people. to be honest it wasn't trump's greatest performance there they were having a nice dinner all in cincy is smiles and forced laughs and giggles and brings up

the boogie man. trying joining your michel in star red chuen a stew prepared mommy tackled style while trump talks about inviting russia back apparently he wouldn't shut up about it i think if you're working. with a number of people who would like to see russia back i think it would be and it would be advantageous to. many things in the world or das it worse some of those present agreed why on earth would you want to invite a country that's a key player in almost every major global issue. well it would make sense but not off the crimea g. 7 is for friends and friends pretend to be there for each other everyone knows that and putin it seems has better things to do. with 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. but there are other international organizations which play a significant role in international affairs take the g 20. all in all as i said nice great as g 708 sco but the total catastrophe but this year trump even scientists single page unlike last year when he simply stormed out. that wasn't nice. well stop involve us libertarian politician whether he thought there were any positives to be drawn from this year's summit this is his response that. 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 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 what should be doing in terms of tariffs getting rid of all of them 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. this photo appear in isolation of the g. 7 as well remember these pictures donald trump did strike a more conciliatory tone on trade floating the prospect maybe new talks with china has been off it's been on it's been off because i want to get to about that later

in the program. but this next the u.n. is calling for maximum restraint between israel and its inverse reasons fears of a new conflict in the middle east the plea comes up to tel aviv and has strike against a radio forces in syria on saturday and what it said was an effort to thwart a planned drone attack also lebanon and iraq accusing israel now of conducting aerial attacks against shiite militia groups on their territory of the weekend 2 with the latest round it all up one quarter. continued instability in the middle east and the alleged culprit is not the west's usual fall boy the israeli strikes were similar to a declaration of war and our country has a right to defend itself a series of attacks syria lebanon and iraq and people are pointing the finger at israel.

at least they owned up to that last attack and usually accusations that israel's attacked another sovereign nation are met with silence from tel aviv but this time benjamin netanyahu justified the attack claiming iran was targeting his country with explosive drones according to him the situation was kill or be killed. as good will go if someone tries to kill you rise up and kill him 1st in a complicated operation by our security forces would determine that iran's quds force dispatched a special unit of militants into syria to kill israelis on the golan heights with explosive drums i would like to emphasize that this was a mission that only run under the command of iran at the behest of the runs. netanyahu often harps on about the supposed dangers of iran but when it comes to the facts the islamic republic is often on the receiving end of military violence

about a year ago israel struck nearly all of iran's military structures inside syria it was the country's biggest assault since the beginning of the civil war back then netanyahu played the very same preemptive strike card whenever he will hit back sevenfold whoever prepares to strike at us we will act to strike at them beforehand this is what we have done and this is what we will continue to do the never ending demonize ation of iran might have made israel its share of enemies in the middle east but in the west it's reeled in some powerful allies this is 40 years 40 years of malign behavior so whether it was seizing a british tanker that was in international waters or shooting down an american u.a.b. that was also in international airspace or assassination campaigns in europe are trying to kill an ambassador here in the united states has this long history of

blind behavior iran had its tankers detained its airspace violated by drones its military installations outright bombed all by the u.s. and israel what other aggressive provocations does iran have up its sleeve well we have some lists in both israel and iran for their assessments and of the religion situation is they so it iran is trying to envelope israel from all of this through his ball which is the fact of li iran through syria through iraq and even through gaza it's like a big octopus sending its arms in order to strangle israel the problem you have these israelis like this oil branch of the world. and because no one no one calls it to account it's allowed to get away with essentially minute. talking to it and hit 3 separate sovereign countries in the past few days israel has no issue with iran if iran would focus in word on its own people and stop trying to

destroy israel as it explicitly says it will do and if amending tear around the world we would have no issue with iran however iran has decided to attack israel to build forces and 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 i see no one questioning why israel is doing something why israel is provoking the 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 you don't do this don't be silly behave yourself iran has been a real interest in starting a war and iran will not stop to war it's a long time and i have said it categorically. 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 aggressive 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 israelis are ropes that it's a country that is close to $400.00 nuclear weapons targeted at multiple countries and yet no n.p.t. and no questioning no no discussion about to get iran which has a nuclear program energy program it constantly gets accused of making nuclear weapons and all this stuff which is slightly from the supreme leader's own discreet discourse is forbidden. 80 minutes past midnight a live news event to talk about and that's come up off the break big day for aviation fans if you were to play bosses of companies well maybe looking to expand their fleets one of the check on the latest russian tech updates narrow design some russia yeah the annual much aero exhibition getting on the way our high flying correspondent leave for trying to open across to him in just a bit. what

politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president injury. or some want to be. actually going to be close it's like them before 3 in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the water. tastes it. seems wrong. just don't call. me. yet to see how this day becomes educated and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

again so russia's aviation sees yesterday treat this in for a treat this week as the latest in space technologies go on show it's a biannual thing there's no doubt you will go to rome. is the. place for this is the max $29000.00 suspicion is that you know really does only seem to me like last year this happened it does it too early thing but it's a huge showcase for the whole business isn't it you suppose you got the best job of the day the you're in the planes take us through it. kevin high especially when the weather's so fantastic kids great to be here and sunny everyone's enjoying it you

can see that 6 the aircraft are shining and the ones you can see behind me aren't exactly the newest ones but this show is always about history a little bit as well and out of the many international guests representing more than 30 countries here there will be one that's all trivia ip and this is the turkish president air dog shoulder to shoulder with a lot of our boat and they are expected to watch the air show together and also check out what this country and the rest of the world have to offer when it comes to the most advanced aircraft technology including russia's newest ass you and make fighter jets and also the collaboration of russian helicopters and the manufacturer of new limousines for mr prove that is called busy all routes but going back to the military aircraft in this sense that is

a message for america which threatened that they could actually reconsider the future deliveries of their military aircraft to turkey after anchor awed decided to purchase russia the russian made air defenses. it's known as the ass 400 while russia has quite a few options to offer when it comes to aircraft as well so the people in the u.s. will definitely be watching and this brings us to the unofficial but probably the most important reason why the turkish leader is in russia that is for some tough discussions on it libya lately the turkish side expressed some real concern and complaints about the what they call violations of the ceasefire by the syrian government forces in the province that remains the last play of the rebels in

syria we know that turkey is supporting that side and russia is an ally of the syrian government the government of president bashar assad so some tough talking coming up in that regard however we do realize that in the last couple of years the friendship between mr putin and mr aired on helped solve some very serious crises. to the just the right only if and i think something actually gets underway later will become a bunch of the right i think you. present donald trump said that the tried to go to the u.s. and china will resume very soon following 2 positive conversations you said with beijing over the weekend. chillicothe. tribute. and simply to get back to the table so will be getting married they will think you want to do something. very very badly but there it is there is the right thing to do and i care a great respect for your district where this is

a very positive development for the world. that announcement came after both sides imposed additional import tariffs on each other's goods on friday while china hasn't confirmed the talks will take place its vice premier you hey stressed on monday that indeed beijing is committed to resolve the dispute further he said that no trade war is of no benefit to anyone they don't want it r t america's rick sanchez has been discussing the tensions with former u.s. congressman ron paul he's got a interesting take. this is gotten so bizarre i think anybody who watched over the weekend what happened 1st the chinese retaliated truck came back and retaliated against the retaliation threatening china with more terror he actually did do that while these 2 guys the president of busy china and the president of states were going back and forth at each other with terror threats the dow was down 800 points and most people were scratching their head trying to make sense of the can you try

to make sense of this situation it's going on right now dr paul. well i do i do by looking at it and it's an unworkable situation you finally get to the point where it doesn't work they hang on every word the federal reserve board chairman says and sometimes why do words could make a difference of billions and billions of dollars and we have an economic system that chaotic and then ended with then we end up with a president that does change his mind once in a while you know and it's just hey they hang too much on words that don't mean anything because they're talking about problems they don't fully understand from my viewpoint and they don't have any solutions because they always talk about more government solutions and they're not willing to look at our viewpoint from the libertarian viewpoint that maybe they have made a lot of mistakes and maybe they should talk about eliminating the mistakes rather than just adding on to it so i'm not surprised about it but it is still pretty annoying but it's going to continue for a while because no one is going to nobody's going to come up with an answer ever is

going to agree with. this like the finnish nice trip rather will trip and you know will to some has become a lonely business i guess the further you get from home so when russian travelers decided to take a bit of his beloved homeland with his very own russian manufactured classic it's known as the russian that means a loaf of bread and if you so michel it looks a bit pretty much the same shape as a loaf of bread anyway is a snippet of the man a machine in perfect harmony. travels continuing. i've decided to do something extraordinary to make the journey in a typical russian bend the russian event to be precise.

one african man who saw ru a.z. cried and explained to us that he took part in a war in this van as a driver he said in the end that thanks to bands like this one we won the war. our trip is not finished yet we want to cross every time zone that's why we have a route from light of all stuck to moscow for the moment we've done 80000 kilometers i think we will have done 95 by the time we are finished. and could travel as my friend said for now and check out r.t. dot com for so many more of our stories we're on top of the team on the 247 right here in moscow 27 minutes past 70 in saying thanks for watching.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on often scary dramatic development only. exist i don't see how that's right. we'll be successful very critical of the time to sit down and talk. i'm a little but i think. ended up by little one when there's

a real body. they both bought on. one of them one obviously bannister. put them to i don't want or i can't that's funny as well and nation going into that accounting looking at it yeah i am question. he could feel that he had a chicken bad going i say he made a move a photo of that young enough i don't know before i don't know. what holds and. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to be rich. but you'd like to be close with what before 3 of them or can't be good get. interested always in the

waters of the college. first city. this is boom bust broadcast. around the globe uncovering the world of business and finance an impact upon us all i'm daniel britto in washington and kristi eyes on assignment here's a look at what's on deck for today if you feel like you may have lost track of all the drama coming out of the g. 7 summit in france don't worry because producer bridgeboro is here to track storylines and subplots at the surprisingly controversial conclave plus dramatic developments just keep coming in of the transfers of a trade fight but could there be cause.
