4:03 pm
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 there well vladimir putin in his turn pointed at the continuing attacks by the terrorists that still remain in the zone but we've already got used to seeing mr putin and mr aired on so energized to work together that somehow they managed to overcome these difficulties so once again they've.
4:04 pm
shown that and they are really counting on renewed talks and 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. was.
4:05 pm
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. are using coming in from japan which. would be something for. you he said. if. you really want us to do. you know. it's. 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 drug maker johnson and johnson has 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 but with a look at the implications he is kind of morbid. 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
4:07 pm
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 pardieu pharmaceuticals managed to withdraw themselves from the case by paying a $270000000.00 settlement furthermore tell the pharmaceutical industries they
4:08 pm
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 kind of mopin the overall rates of opioid addiction have increased dramatically in the u.s. over the past 20 years komen ating and a nationwide epidemic in the late 1990 spree scriptures for painkillers were made readily available as pharmaceutical companies should talk to patients who don't become addicted but it quickly became clear that many people would becoming dependent with deaths from opioid overdoses reaching a record high of 4202016 the following year the government declared it
4:09 pm
a public health emergency and it's a problem that still results in schools of deaths across the united states 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 it's also reportedly encouraging high rates of heroin used to addiction specialists told us that both the pharmaceutical industry and doctors have failed their 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
4:10 pm
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. un is calling for maximum restraint between is rather to its adversaries as fears of a new conflict in the middle east grow the play comes after israeli forces carried out an airstrike 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 aerial attacks against shiite militia groups in their territories over the weekend here's artie's donald quarter. continued instability in the middle east and the alleged
4:11 pm
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
4:12 pm
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
4:13 pm
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 military installations outright bombed all by the u.s. and israel what other aggressive provocations does iran have up its sleeve like a reaction from iranian and israeli analysts to get their assessments of what's developing. iran is trying to envelope israel from all of this through has which is the fact of li iran through syria through iraq and even
4:14 pm
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 murtha it's talkative and hit 3 separate sobering 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 the 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 israel is doing something why israel is provoking this situation at
4:15 pm
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 i telephone when 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 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 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 discourse is forbidden. the french president has hailed in his words an
4:16 pm
extremely productive g. 7 summit after 3 days of talks wrapped up in beirut 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 but i've got to get. it was nice nice stuff the weather was decent lots of people nice people good conversation good stuff nice couldn't 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 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
4:17 pm
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
4:18 pm
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 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
4:19 pm
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 one. 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 use and brings up the boogie man. trying joining your mitchell in star red shoe miss jew prepared mommy tackled style while trump talks about inviting
4:20 pm
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'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 because it's going 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.
4:21 pm
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 on great as g 708 scuba a lot of total catastrophe but this year trump even signed this single page unlike last year when he simply stool doubt. that wasn't nice. to leading us libertarian party politician whether he thought they were any positives to be drawn from this year's summit 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
4:22 pm
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 harvey whom in syria's north western italy province on monday off the government forces returned to the city it was one of the 1st towns to fall to opposition fighters in the early days of the conflict has been under the control of an islamist group since 2014 the militants fled last week as president assad's forces with russian backing pushed back into the province which was seen intense fighting and also aerial bombardment here's what some of the returning he's told r.t. is arabic channel. a lot about how much. i can describe my happiness i was very
