we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. oklahoma judge finds the. guilty fueling the. epidemic and causing a surge in drug related deaths. johnson and johnson will finally be held accountable for. an addiction. to the. triple threat tension so war in the middle east israel. troops in syria it comes just days after suspected is really drone attacks in lebanon.

coming up in the program president meets his turkish counterpart. of the $29.00 ers show taking place with the russian talks are currently being held between the 2 leaders took in the opening ceremony. around the clock across the world this is your r.t. international from the team and myself you know neal hello and welcome. we begin in the u.s. a judge in oklahoma has ruled that the drug maker johnson and johnson is responsible for dropping the state's opioid crisis and ordered it to pay a $572000000.00 fine he said the pharmaceutical giant had run a fall dangerous marketing campaign which. done played the risk of addiction

directly contributed to many deaths johnson and johnson has said it will appeal the decision. we've got a landmark ruling today in oklahoma the drug manufacturer johnson and johnson a giant big pharmaceutical company in the united states has been found guilty and has been ordered to pay 572000000 dollars 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 oak you would have to make. 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 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 or do pharmaceuticals manage to withdraw themselves from the case by paying a $270000000.00 settlement for them or tell the pharmaceutical industries they withdrew from the case in may by paying an 85000000 dollars 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 a responsible for the opioid epidemic a must just in one state of course the overall rates of opioid addiction have increased dramatically in the u.s. over the past 20 years culminating in a nationwide epidemic in the late 1990 s. prescriptions for painkillers were made readily available pharmaceutical companies assured doctors that 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 well currently an estimated 130 americans die every day as a result of opioid medicine abuse the health crisis is also placing

a huge strain on the u.s. economy and reportedly encouraging higher rates of her when news addiction specialist told us that both the pharmaceutical industry undoctored failed in their duties to customers and patients. well doctors certainly there are some responsibility for the opiate 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. to more world news the u.n. is calling for maximum 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 ar strike against a rainy and troops in syria on saturday in what it said was an attempt to thwart a plan drone attack lebanon and iraq also accuse 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. 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. 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 drones 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 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 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 a little quarter well we are soundless in both iran and israel for their assessments of this situation iran is trying to envelope israel from all of this through his ball which is affectively iran through syria through iraq and even through gaza of the it's like a big octopus sending its arms in order to strangle israel the problem you have the israelis 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 murtha. talking to 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 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 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 stop the 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 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 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 it yet 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. the right time to hit the sky rushes mucked $29000.00 our show is in full swing hartley international airport low. just where

we are now here in moscow on display all the latest russian air and space technology with some big names too on the guest list for the next number of days one of those is the turkish president who is meeting with vladimir putin all in the sidelines as we speak. we didn't 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 aerospace forces of this latest generation. mr president did friend mr putin we see the max 2019 aviation exhibition as one of the leading events of its kind. and indeed president putin undertone took in the earth shows opening ceremony with the turkish leader saying that unkrich could follow up interest in purchasing russia's new 5th generation su 57 stealth fighter jets and even trying to reports now from knox

2019. 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 president type a daw and he's been see 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 you 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 fighter 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 turkish leader is here that has some tough negotiations on what's going on in syria is it live 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 labs 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. and we became a close eye all week long out next $29000.00 still to come though this hour the g. 7 summit has been praised by world leaders on another productive get together but what was achieved we look into that after the break.

you know world big partisan. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. and spearing dramatic to follow the only silly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and

talk. 17 minutes into the hour you're very welcome back the french president among us hailed in his words an extremely productive g. 7 summit after 3 days of talks wrapped up on monday in b.-o. brits but the spite the group of attending world leaders voicing optimism for the future this year's meeting produced very few concrete commitments which our senior correspondent. it was nice nice stuff the weather was decent lots of people nice people good conversation and good stuff

nice good new. 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 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 the fee there was a lot of nervousness at the outset a lot of expectations a lot of tensions 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 and shenanigans whether to invite the largest country in the world iran for the millionth time. we all know what trump things 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 or 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. in the position not 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 as 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 she's going to be of you for a while. to be honest it wasn't

trump's greatest performance there they were having a nice dinner all in cincy is smiles and fullest laughs and use 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 in that it would be advantageous to do. many things in the world or das it's 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. to get 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 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 old great as g 708 sco but the total catastrophe what this year trumped even scientists single page unlike last year when he simply stormed out that really wasn't nice. well we've been getting reaction to the last few days

there we spoke to our of envoy who is a us libertarian politician whether we asked them he thought there were any positives be drawn from this years old. 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's 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. dozens of families returned home to her in syria's north western province on monday after government forces are reentered the city now it was one of the 1st talents to fall to opposition fighters in the early days of the conflict and been under the control of an islamist group since 23 the militants fled last week as bashar assad's forces with russian backing pushed deeper into the province which has seen intense fighting an aerial bombardments here's what some of the returning totals are to use our attic. but how much. i can describe my happiness i was very happy for my son i kissed him a lot and i said thank god you will be back in hunchy whole thing gort indeed. and along with. we came today to check our lands and properties and to visit the city where we were born thing god i cannot describe this return is incredible the

feeling i have is incredible. and the saddest in the hammer we were in hama for 7 years we were forced to leave her and she one because of terrorism and sabotage the terrorists forced us to leave and took our house hopefully all of syria will be brought back under government control our happiness can be described. as something a little different going on a world tour can at times be a lonely business the further you get from home so what russian decided to take a bit of those beloved homeland with him his very own russia money fuck shared plastic known as the one which in russian means a loaf of bread and it's seen quite a slice of the globe so. i've

decided to do something extraordinary to make the journey in a typical russian bend the russian behind of and 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 event 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 stock to moscow for the moment we've done 80000 kilometers i think we will have done 95 by the time we're finished.

the stories behind it will be able to tell all right how much power should multinationals wield over areas water source it's a bottle currently playing out between nestlé on the picture rest part of florida watching the hawks tails further into the story after this. hour why paradise with some around turned into a round the experimentation field for agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major here tends there's no question otherwise why would the chemical company workers themselves be geared up that suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments. but often in day you have many of these people one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to

ask the question whether there is a form of environmental research going on in hawaii whether these companies feel they can get away with that it's because the people have less political power. joined me everything on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see that. new chick was counting. i'm one of them but i think. we're buddies.
