8:04 am
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 as well expound killable is explaining their rates of opioid addiction humph increased dramatically in the u.s. over the past 20 years culminating in a nationwide epidemic in the late 19 ninety's prescriptions for painkillers were made readily available pharmaceutical companies are sure doctors know if their patients would not become addicted but it quickly became clear that many people were becoming dependent with debts from opioid overdoses reaching a record high. of 4202016 the following year the government declared

a public health emergency currently an estimated 130 americans die every day as a result of opioid medicines the health crisis is also placing a huge burden on the u.s. economy and encouraging higher rates of her own use addiction specialist a limp kay told us that both the pharmaceutical industry and doctors have failed in their duties to customers and patients 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 janssen 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
8:06 am
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. the french president among your microphone has hailed in his words an extremely productive g. 7 summit after 3 days of talks wrapped up in be over it's on monday but despite the group of attending world leaders voicing optimism for the future this year is meeting which is very few concrete commitments for senior reporter in iraq because they've. it was nice nice stuff the weather was decent lots of people nice people good conversation and good stuff guys couldn't you.
8:07 am
first of all i would like to thank president trump and all the heads of state and government president here's 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 yeah pretty nice i mean could have been better they could have agreed on something significant the cheveley little more argued the little less and if the 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 a trade war with china the brazilian president's rudeness breck's it should not
8:08 am
a good weather 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 trumpet would heed his own tide before admitting it it was coming in and i respected the fact that it was coming in and he met with president mcbroom in 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
8:09 am
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 to the point. of view of free will. to be honest it wasn't trump's greatest performance and they were having
8:10 am
a nice dinner all in cincy is smiles and forced laughs and giggles and brings up the boogie man. trying joining your mitchell in star red shoe nests jew 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
8:11 am
that and putin it seems has better things to do with. a little 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 come up with 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 put the total catastrophe but this year trump even signed this single page unlike last year when he simply stormed out. that removed wasn't nice. we starvin of over a us libertarian politician whether he thought there were any positives to be drawn
8:12 am
from this yourself. 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 decent 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 of tariffs is 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. the united nations is calling for mux m
8:13 am
m restraint between israel and its adversaries as fears of a new conflict in the middle east grow the plea comes after israeli forces carried out an earth strike against iranian troops in syria on sunday in what it said was an effort to thwart a planned drone attack lebanon and iraq also accused israel of conducting aerial attacks against shiite militia groups on their territory over the weekend. 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.
8:14 am
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 a bunch of good will go if someone tries to kill you rise up and kill him 1st in a complicated operation by our security forces we 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 if the wrong under the command of iran at the behest of iran. 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
8:15 am
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 we 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 for 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
8:16 am
military installations outright bombed all by the u.s. and israel what other aggressive provocations does iran have up its sleeve dahlan quarter a we listen both around and in israel for their assessments of the situation iran is trying to envelope israel from all of this through has which is the fact of lee 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 israel is like this oil out 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. on its own people and stop trying to destroy
8:17 am
israel as it explicitly says it will do and therefore meant to 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 simple it's a long and i 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 is instigating problems
8:18 am
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 to schools is forbidden if you use all of our guests the russian turkish presidents are set to hold talks something mux 29 ers show this tuesday as part of on let's for a while turn it of. the american f. $35.00 fighter jets we will be reporting from. the break.
8:19 am
small seemed wrong wrong wrong just don't call. me. yet to shape out just to become educated and engaged because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line. they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president and she. wanted. to go right to the press this is what before 3 of them can't be good. i'm interested in the why. question.
8:20 am
20 minutes into the program well russia's 2900 show is in full swing ski international airport located just outside where we are now in moscow all of the latest space technologies will be on the way over the next few days this year there are some big name guests all me in the list. turkey's red chip on in fact are right now we believe holding talks on the sidelines of the f. and here's a recap of everything going. sure you're going to get a good one but if you want to you can you know. i'm sure all of our foreign partners and of course the turkish delegation will be interested in the accomplishments of our aviation industry and the technical abilities of russia's
8:21 am
aerospace forces of this latest generation and you know. their little president to friend mr putin we see the max 2019 aviation exhibition in them as one of the leading events of its kind although. the weather is absolutely fantastic here and you cough ski as you can see to the delight of the many international visitors from more than 30 countries but there is an ultra v.i.p. guest here and you call a ski that is a target for president tiber daughter and he's been seeing shoulder to shoulder with latimer putin watching their performance by the pilots working their magic with some of the most advanced aircraft technology that this country and the rest of the world have to offer but they're also here to check out all that up close including the newest russian fighter jets that of the ass-u.
8:22 am
and also make plus something that came out of a collaboration by russian helicopters and also the manufacturer of mr putin's new limo it's called all rows but coming back to military aircraft think of why this is worth mentioning america previously threatened to reconsider the deliveries of its own military aircraft to turkey because ankara decided to purchase russia's air defense systems the ass 400 the 2nd round of the shipments of this missile defense system is underway as we speak by the way it's been confirmed by the turkish ministry of defense but when it comes to the fight. jets russia does have quite a few options to offer so the people in washington will definitely be watching well that brings us to the unofficial but probably the most important reason why the
8:23 am
turkish leader is here that has some tough negotiations on what's going on in syria as we know that in the past few weeks turkey has been complaining about what they're calling violations of the cease fire there by the syrian government forces we do have to remember that moscow is an ally of the syrian government led by president bashar assad and turkey is backing the rebels in the only remaining syrian opposition on klav that is the province of idlib so indeed it will be difficult to avoid quite a few thorny issues on tuesday but judging by what we've seen from the 2 presidents in the past couple of years they have always managed to find common ground and their friendship has really helped solve many crises. in fact let's just expound on the latter part of it is report there are dozens of families returned home to
8:24 am
concha who are in syria's northwestern problems on monday after government forces reenter the city it was one busy of the 1st tons to fall to opposition fighters in the early days of the conflict and been under the control of islamist groups since 2014 the militants fled last week a special assad's forces with russian backing steeper into the province which has seen intense fighting and aerial bombardments here's what some of the returning told r.t. are to pick. a lot about how my fam up close off but i can describe my happiness i was very happy for my son i kissed him a lot and i said thank god son you will be back in hunch a whole thing got in the hand that not only do. we came today to check our lands and properties and to visit the city where we were born thing got i cannot describe this return is incredible the feeling i have is incredible. and the saddest in we were in hama for 7 years we were forced to leave her and she one because of
8:25 am
terrorism and sabotage the terrorists forced us 3 frantic hour has hopefully all of cereals are thrown back on the government control your own happiness can be described. if we're going to break soon but before you go just stay with us for this because going on a world tour can sometimes be a lonely business the further of course you get from home so one russian trial very decided to take a bit of his beloved homeland with him his very own russia manufactured plastic ball which in russian means a loaf of bread and i tell you what it's in quite a slice of the globe so far. i've decided to do something extraordinary to make the journey in
8:26 am
a typical russian bend the russian go high command to be precise. one african man who saw ru ese greit and explain 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 i would have a route from blood of all stock to moscow for the moment we've done 80000 kilometers i think we will have done 95 by the time we're finished. wats unadventurous is too many how why it is a tropical it will with some of the most spectacular vistas of course on the planet
