a triple threat middle east. just days after a suspected israeli drone attacks in lebanon and iraq. this is an international i'm sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us. our president putin and his turkish counterpart have held talks at the max of 200-1000 airshow happening just outside moscow to to discuss cooperation on the syrian crisis and the possible purchase of russian fighter jets by an article into trying to force. 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
10:02 pm
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 while we shouldn't forget that we are out an air show right so on tuesday we even heard of the possibility that turkey and russia could start building aircraft together we heard that from both presidents although no specific details followed for now bud's to i bet on and lot of our
10:03 pm
britain have also been very good at finding ways out of tricky crisis situation and they're rizwan still ongoing and syria and now ankara is really concerned about what's going on in syria is it le bron 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. by the syrian government forces are causing civilian casualties and they 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 lib 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 shown that and
10:04 pm
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 for bear to want to do rollout has shopping cart here in russia and this is exactly what he did here. to see. if he.
10:05 pm
was able to listen to. what you have to see right now where the 2 the other 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 just what. coming up. with. something very. interesting. if. you really want us to. know. the most senior guests of left but it's by far not all over yet here at the max 2019 air show the program
10:06 pm
continues for the rest of the week. leading drug maker johnson and johnson has been found responsible for driving the opioid crisis in the u.s. state of oklahoma it judge there has ordered it to pay $572000000.00 fine he said of the pharmaceutical giant had run a false and dangerous marketing campaign which downplayed the risk of addiction and directly contributed to the deaths johnson and johnson says it will appeal the decision with a look at the implications here's artie's coma 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 and ordered to deal with the ongoing opioid epidemic in the united states this is the 1st time that
10:07 pm
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 our position that johnson and johnson motivated by greed and avarice is responsible for the ok whatever damage in our state. 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 pardieu
10:08 pm
pharmaceuticals managed 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 $85000000.00 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. our rates of opioid addiction have increased dramatically in the us over the past 20 years culminating in a nationwide epidemic in the late 1990 s. prescriptions for painkillers were made readily available by pharmaceutical companies who assured doctors that their patients would not become addicted but it
10:09 pm
quickly became clear that many people were becoming dependent with deaths from opioid overdoses reaching a record high of 42000 in 2016 take a look at that next year the government to declared a public health emergency and it is a problem that is still claiming many lives nationwide if you take a look at this 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 heroin use addiction specialist lemke 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 again i did states it's necessary to realize that a whole generation of physicians was educated to believe that opioids are not
10:10 pm
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. the u.n. is calling for maximum restraint between israel and its adversaries as fears of a new conflict in the middle east to grow following a series of cross border incidents among the latest pleas to palestinians are reported dead and several injured in an explosion in gaza on tuesday evening and
10:11 pm
the israeli military denies any involvement it has already been a fractious 72 hours with israeli operations into neighboring countries and beyond . 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 usually accusations that israel's attacked another sovereign nation are met with silence from tel aviv but this time
10:12 pm
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 rises 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 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
10:13 pm
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 for 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 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 we've
10:14 pm
got reaction from both iranian and israeli analysts on the latest developments. 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 it's like a big octopus sending its arms in order to strangle israel the problem you have these israelis 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. talking to hit 3 separate severin 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 death are 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
10:15 pm
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 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 time and i have said it categorically. what iran will do is 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 has close to $400.00 nuclear weapons targeted at multiple countries
10:16 pm
and yet no n.p.t. and no questioning no discussion about to get iran which has a nuclear program of 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. french president has hailed in his words an extremely productive g. 7 summit after 3 days of talks in on monday. but despite the group of attending world leaders voicing optimism for the future this year's meeting produced very few concrete commitments. 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 state and government present here for the extremely productive work and very productive discussions we've had since saturday evening
10:17 pm
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 were 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 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 it should not ignorance whether to invite the largest country in the world iran for the millionth time.
10:18 pm
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 the rod hoping to break the ice and surprisingly things became a little all could also unsurprisingly trump 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. 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
10:19 pm
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. of of you treating. 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
10:20 pm
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 in 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. to get
10:21 pm
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 scoop let's go to little catastrophe but this year trump even signed this single page unlike last year when he simply school doubt. that removed wasn't nice. we asked the us libertarian party politician whether he thought there were any positives to be drawn from this year's summit. the g 7 is to the world it was the federal reserve is the united states it is
10:22 pm
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 bed is on the verge of becoming a nuclear power is a diplomatic mistake what should be doing in terms of of terrorists 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 tour can sometimes be a lonely business so one russian adventure decided to take a bit of his beloved homeland with him his very own russian made classic van known
10:23 pm
