crisis and the possible purchase of russian fighter jets by ankara here's our correspondent. well we saw it right here once again the presidents of russia and turkey are really enjoying talking about what their countries are doing together naming the projects one after another the likes of the turkish stream gas pipeline project that is being completed in the black sea or a nuclear power plant built in turkey by the russian atomic agency also the deployment of the russian made s. $400.00 air defense systems i'm going to come back to that one a bit later and also all kinds of business that turkey does in this country but they only want more and more a 5 fold increase and mutual trade that is the kind of goal the leaders set for

themselves on tuesday here and because scheme well we shouldn't forget that we are after an air show right so on tuesday we even heard of the possibility that turkey and russia can start building aircraft together we heard that from both presidents although no specific details followed for now but still i bet on end lattimer putin have also been very good at finding ways out of tricky crisis situation and their risk one still ongoing and syria and now ankara is really concerned about what's going on in syria is it live brahmans that is the only remaining opposition on klav there we know that moscow and ankara are behind the forces on the different sides of the front line they're tired peridot on spoke of how the advancements by the syrian government forces are causing civilian casualties and an extended flow of refugees to turkey they're well vladimir putin in his turn pointed at the

continuing attacks by the terrorists that still remain and the lives. zone but we've already got used to seeing mr putin and mr airtel on so energized to work together that somehow they managed to overcome these difficulties so once again they've shown that and they are really counting on renewed talks in geneva of these so-called constitutional committee that will represent most of the sides in the syrian conflict now i just want to go back to the fact that mr aired on came to russia specifically for the max air show now that's an important thing because it follows a decision by america to scrap the deliveries of american made fighter jets to turkey as a result of a decision by anchor ought to purchase the s 400 missile defense systems these are the ones that i mentioned the deployment is well underway well what's there left to

want to do rollout has shopping cart here in russia and this is exactly what he did here. which is. what you have to see right now where the 2 the 2 is standing by russia's most advanced 5th generation fighter jet the s u 57 but it's not only the aircraft technology mr air go on and fly them or putin enjoyed here on these you called ski airfield they had some ice cream to have a look at how much you can. do with the. i mean for example which. of course would be something very.

easy. to just leave me without us did. you know. this is. the most senior guests of left but it's by far not all over yet here at the max 2019 air show the program continues for the rest of the week. leading drugmaker johnson and johnson's been found responsible for driving the opioid crisis in the us state of oklahoma a judge that has ordered it to pay a $572000000.00 fine he said the pharmaceutical giant had run a false and dangerous marketing campaign which downplayed the risk of addiction and directly contributed to deaths johnson and johnson says it will appeal the decision 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 $572000000.00 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 oak you would ready have to make. johnson and johnson will finally be healed 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 responsible for the opioid epidemic. rates of opioid addiction have increased dramatically in the

united states over the past 20 years culminating in a nationwide epidemic in the late 1990 s. prescriptions for painkillers were made readily available as pharmaceutical companies assured doctors that their patients would not become addictive but it quickly became clear that many people were becoming dependent and deaths from opioid overdoses reached a record high of 42000 in the year 2016 the following year the government declared a public health emergency currently an estimated $130.00 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 as well and reportedly encouraging high rates of heroin use as well addiction specialist and alum could told us that both the pharmaceutical industry and doctors have failed their customers and patient. 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 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 u.n. is calling for maximum restraint between israel and its adversaries fears of a new conflict in the middle east grow. the plea comes off the israeli forces carried out an air strike against iranian troops in syria on saturday and what it

said was an effort to thwart a planned drone attack lebanon and iraq also accused israel of conducting every other tax against a shiite militia groups in their territories 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 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 drums i would like to emphasize that this was a mission if 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 the line behavior so whether it was seizing a british tanker that was in international waters or shooting down an american you waving 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 the line 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 i

got reaction from iranian and israeli analysts to get their assessments of what's happening. iran is trying to envelope israel from all of the sides through hezbollah which is effectively 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 brought over the world and because no one no one calls it to account it's allowed to get away with it we move into. targeted and hit 3 separate sovan countries in the past few days israel has no issue with iran if iran would focus inward on on its own people and stop trying to destroy israel as it explicitly says it will do and if amending terror 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 israelis 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 stopping the 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 are actually 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 in. 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 discourse. this is also still ahead the g. 7 summit is praised by world leaders as another productive get together but achieve what exactly will look into that after the break.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics. i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. welcome back the french president has hailed in his words an extremely productive g.

7 summit after 3 days of talks wrapped up in berates on monday but despite the group of attending world leaders voicing optimism for the future this year's meeting produced very few concrete commitments here's our senior correspondent i guess. 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 states 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 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 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 it should not 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 eat 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 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 treating. to be honest it wasn't trump's greatest performance and they were having a nice dinner all in cincy is smiles and forced laughs and use and brings up the boogie man. trying joining your michel in star red shoe missed you 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 for.

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. 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 all the great has g 708 sco but the total catastrophe what this year trump even scientists single page unlike last year when he simply stormed out that really wasn't nice whilst a leading us libertarian party politician whether he thought any positives to be drawn from this he has some it. the g. 7 is to the world at what the federal reserve is the united states it 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. going on a world tool can sometimes be lonely business so one russian adventurer decided to take a bit of his beloved homeland with its very own russian made classic van then there's a hunger which in russian means a loaf of bread and it's seen quite a slice of the globe so far. 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 80000 kilometers i think we will have done 95 by the time we're finished. all the stories we're covering here at your next update from.

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 our team producer bridgeboro is here to track storylines and subplots of the surprisingly controversial conclave plus dramatic developments just keep coming in and the transfers of a trade fight but could there be cause for hope on the horizon peter schiff of you're a pacific capital is standing by to delve into the details of what a deal might look like and later is that the tried climate couldn't get any more tricky a new threat is descending upon one of the world's favorite fruits kaufman author of bet the farm peels past the headlines and takes a look at why banana farmers are going crazy with anxiety strap yourself in and feel the g.'s because another awesome show is about to take off let's go. u.s. president donald trump claimed monday that chinese trade officials called twice over the weekend during the g. 7 summit to resume trade negotiations mr trump made the statement during the b.

event and barrett's friends. in the treaty. and send it to get back to the table so we'll be getting back to you want to do some. very vanity but that is the right thing to do and i care a great respect and respect where this is a very positive development for the world. the u.s. president made plenty of headlines regarding trade during the c.g. 7 whether intentional or not including 1st perspective bilateral deals with japan and the european union. as well as of the ongoing trade war with china our team america producer brant warr has a story. very very close to. me this is they want to be able to. report. what it was really a. lot of things that happened during meetings that the group of 7 summit in france

u.s. president donald trump continued his positive tone about the state of u.s. china trade talks with the exception of a moment on sunday when he appeared to admit he was having 2nd thoughts about the ongoing trade war with beijing. i just might as well have. second thoughts about everything the comment by mr trump was quickly clarified by the administration with white house press secretary stephanie grisham releasing a statement saying his answer had been greatly misinterpreted adding president trump responded in the affirmative because he regrets not raising the tariffs higher meanwhile. a spokesperson for the chinese ministry of foreign affairs had strong words about the united states action during the trade dispute specifically responding to a series of tweets by mr trump calling on american companies to look for alternatives to manufacturing in china was no will be made would see the so-called pulling of american companies out of china is more like a political.
