was a super, like case studies just make it to do transformations over the past decade. advance mega project most go urban for 2021, the largest international congress on make it said he development the restoring contact and organizing direct dialogues. let me put in shares his expectations to the upcoming summit this week with joe by one of the big news stories of the week. the g suddenly did agree a huge global infrastructure plan to challenge china's belt and road initiative. the 1st in person summit since the time demick draws to a close in england plus the french president to get slapped in the face, getting up close and personal over the crowd is supposed to open in the south from are recent blocking in nigeria. twitter cried foul calling an open and free

internet of basic human rights one at the same time century. so uses send the united states. ah, hi, there are some that are c, that means we take you through some of the biggest stories that we've been covering here over the past 7 days on the weekends developments to bring you up to speed on 1st and to restore contacts and organize direct dialogue that's what the russian president says he expects from the upcoming summer with his us counterpart. that even putting his thoughts in a tv interview corresponded in the upper trunk i was watching. while this time mister pool, who was quite specific about the things that he is intending to bring up and geneva when he meets joe biden. and 1st of all, the russian leader mentioned global security. this is a very important issue. mister poking pointed out moscow's concerns when it comes

to ne toes missile defense systems that are close to the russian borders. we have always tried to behave with sufficient restraint. after all, we did not take a single step in any of the areas which would aggravate the situation. we're talking about security issues about these red lies about the possible deployment of all kinds of combat systems. their missile strike and so on. i have already mentioned poland and romania missile defense systems are already being deployed there and strikes systems can be supplied to them as well. but we have removed our military base from cuba because we don't do such things. but our partners, unfortunately, are doing tis that a lot of people said that he hope at the summit could at least create the conditions for a proper and fair discussion on these matters. now, the russian leader also went on to explain why the hopes are there. he praised

the joe biden administration for responsible approach, at least in one aspect. vladimir putin reminded of one of the 1st international decisions that was made by joe biden and the white house that is per loaning the new star treaty between washington and moscow, which is referred to as the last remaining pillar of nuclear arms control. you had ministration led by president biden extended the nustar treaty at 1st step, and i think this is a very important step. and in general, of course, on the part of president biden, this is a manifestation of professionalism. of course, president putin also touched on cybersecurity, which is one of the more headline grabbing dance in the us, russia policies at the moment. how did he elaborate on that? well, what is global security without cybersecurity? that's also something major that is going to be on the table according to the russian leader. cyber attacks on entire infrastructure and industrial cities could

lead to very serious consequences. and the russian president here was clearly referring to recent cyber attacks on us infrastructure. and while the kremlin maintains that russia had nothing to do with these attacks, the russian side really wants some kind of bilateral agreement to be hammered out in this field to introduce some kind of rules. and to make sure that it's all kept under control, by the way, back in 2013, that work had already begun. but what happened next? ukraine, accusations of russian hackers influencing the u. s. election. and the work was scrapped not by the russian side, by the west. side, so now moscow, once this work to be resumed, agreements are expressed in the relevant interstate documents and there and these documents, agreements, contracts, the parties assume certain obligations. and these obligations and the overwhelming majority of cases are equal. both parties share the same commitment. if we agree to

expedite criminals, then russia will do it, but only if the united states agreed to expedite criminals to the russian federation as well. the closer we get to the summit in geneva, on june 16th, the more we find out about the things that are going to be discussed, possibly we'll hear about something else, maybe from the biden administration next. this weekend, the 1st person g. 7 summit since the pandemic is coming to an end in the u. k. for joe biden, it marked the 1st overseas trip of his presidency ahead of the get together by met with the host, british prime minister boris johnson. they signed new atlantic charter based on an agreement that outlined the 2 countries goals after the 2nd world war. the priority . now, according to the document, is cooperation. the g 7 main talking points were the pandemic trade and climate change plus china and russia. but i've seen a corresponding run because dia examines why much of that agenda seems

a blast from the past. america is back. back for watson. when did it ever leave? whatever it is that it's coming back to from, as unclear. at every point along the way, we're going to make it clear that united states is back and democracies of the world are standing together to tackle the toughest challenges and the issues that matter most to our future. well, that's good. suddenly again, i can't remember them ever leaving, but if you will, coming back to things you never left then why the heck not some things you've already signed or revitalized atlanta charter building on the commitments and aspirations that are 80 years ago. the firms are ongoing commitment to sustaining our enduring values and defending them against new and old challenges. so they're defending democracy, defending nato, defending trade, which american britain have done admirably if

a tad violently but that's the rule. they will now seek to combat cyber threats. climate change in the pandemic. there's too much to do and what better way to start than with cheesy jukes. so the prime minister of both, mary, i'm not sure i'm not going to be sent from that. i'm going to disagree with already on the else babs. what may be construed as new is that button seems hell bent on returning a school to the glory days of the cold war. and his youth. by being clear, the united states will respond in a robust and meaningful way the russian government engages and harmful activities. we've already demonstrated that, except we've had the same thing in various forms for now on a century. if it isn't russia, it's yes, china,

we will focus on ensuring that market democracy's not china or anyone else, right? the 21st century rules around trade and technology and we will continue to pursue the goal of a europe whole free and at peace. biden. once the resurrect an old monster, the cold war with vos, standing armies with vos military spending a vase blog to crush the competition and the competition. and he's in russia, the competition is china, which america still doesn't have an answer for. but it is plotting something, the g 7 leaders have come up with an answer to china's bells and wrote initiative by backing us plans for a vast global infrastructure. dr. white have statement claims. the build fact better world plan will raise public and private funds to close the infrastructure gap, the poor nations. well, there's something 7 states including germany and italy have raise doubts about open rivalry with beijing. belt and road initiative was set up in 2013 to link scores of

countries by rail road and se notably across africa and asia. so while the g 7 leaders line up to compete on, that's the sphere of infrastructure ahead of the summit, the chair of the us joint chiefs of staff singled out china and russia as the biggest global threats from a military standpoint. our guests have been sharing that perspective about us pressure on aging. the 1st, we have the same success of escalating containment strategies again to china since $999.00, each one failing. and now it's by turn, the u. s. desperate to sustain and re enforce its global hegemony. already seen some hesitation from germany and italy and practice of the existing system already dominated by the same countries should be reformed and made more equitable. if this is really just an effort to build an anti china block and its human cost will outweigh its benefits. and that's a real possibility here. we see a long term goal to freeze china out. and i don't think that the us reverse course

. ready and work with trying to suck on something like this, particularly after poisoning the well, we're going to try to recover rhetoric over the last few years. well, i wonder if i fallen asleep and waking up when woken up in 1978 or something, you know it's, it's, it's unbelievable that we need to find a new atlantic a life. what is the atlantic? we have no idea what the atlantic is. the atlantic has been certainly since the end of the cold war, european countries incapable of developing their own independent foreign and domestic and economic policy basically blindly following the united states into places like ghana, stan, and syria in libya and miss adventure after misadventure. china is the big enemy of the defense secretary austin said, we have to start acting like china is the and i mean, not just thinking like they're the enemy and this is how it works. this is how the u. s. military industrial complex works. you invented in me words, the global war on terrorism, or the global fight against co, good, or the global fight against china. you invent these bogeyman. and then you spend

hundreds and hundreds of billions and trillions of dollars that go into the pockets a well connected companies. well connected, think tanks in the washington beltway and that's what keeps the machine going. but the machine is going to end because the american economy is about to collapse, its teetering on the edge of collapse. french president got now the shock on tuesday of it to the south of the country where he was trying to drum up support for his election campaign. and manual micron walked up to a barrier to greet locals. and this is what happened next. the well 2 men who being arrested following that assault on president macro. and it's the 1st time that you've been physically assaulted since becoming president, that happens in the south of france near the city of valencia. and that's the story that you present mike on exits the hotel school where he's been taking

a visit. he walks towards a crowd of people who are all behind the metal barrier. the president michael puts his hand on a man's on the man and grabs back president miko before administering that who might be slap. the security agency immediately intervened in 2 individuals were taken into custody for willful violence against the person holding public authority. now that's an offense, it's taken pretty seriously here in france, and could see somebody put in jail for up to 3 years as well as paying a fine, a 45000 years. but of course, that would be for a judge to decide how lenient they may wish to be. and of course, for an individuals to be found guilty of the offense. and you might have caught just the end of that video, somebody shouting down with macro ism and there is a suggestion that the individuals behind this assault on the president or yellow vest involved and unauthorized process earlier in the day. but the reality is what

this is shown is that there is still an under current to present to and again president michael and his policies. those have been passed. the reforms as well as those he's attempted to pass to the front. and i bet housing is managed to do so or how to move them down slightly. there's been a huge reaction hearing from including coming from the gulf when the prime minister sharon cast dex saying that this was an attack on democracy. they because she was on it plus your said the democracy is debate. dialogue is confrontation, the expression of legitimate disagreements, but it can in no way be violence, verbal, aggression, and even less physical aggression. we are all concerned. it is the foundations of our democracy through the head of state. it is democracy that is targeted. you're also, we've heard from a political policy from across the political spectrum with all physician lead is

pretty much on the same page. very rare hearing from all saying that this is simply unacceptable. while democratic debate can bitter, it can never tolerate physical violence. i strongly condemn the unacceptable physical aggression targeting the president of the republic. this time, are you starting to understand that violent people are taking action? i stand and solidarity with the president. well, president, my call is currently on the to the from says it's been cold, he's taking the temperature, testing it to see whether or not he should be running. and next is presidential election. he hasn't officially said he's going to, but the idea that he's making this visit is seen as many as a pre election tool. and it seems as we get closer and closer to the election, we like to see more of that resentment coming through. but for the moment in from present, my phone associate with 2 individuals in the south of france now under arrest wound

for violence against the person holding public authority. now the 20 a year old attacker was swiftly put behind bars sentence to 4 months in jail with an additional 14 month suspended sentence. a 2nd person arrest today who filmed the incident, also faces prosecution for an eagerly possessing weapons which the authorities later found at his home. the same time that slapped episode provoked an avalon to jokes means online with twitter in particular saying political character choose mocking the leader, the column. it says it's micron who's been slapping the french people in the face along the way. we quite believe this is where money will microns power lies. in other words, it's the ultra personalized and centralized power of the presidents. obviously, there are still people who are ready to break through rows of riot police to get to the president. violence is unacceptable and we see how representative of political communities unanimously condemn the flap in the face. but then

a sense among micro himself represents violence. because it's he who authorize the use of normally for weapons by law enforcement agencies. that is why many protesters were injured. a lot of the i sites during the yellow vest demonstrations . there is a huge gap between the manual microns outlandish promises and what he is doing, which is nothing more than a constant communications and marketing campaign. furthermore, he once again intends to return to considering pension reforms. he always has some unpleasant remark in his arsenal. it is he who constantly slaps the french people during his public speeches, and now he gets a slap in the face himself, which of course deserves condemnation. since he is no authority figure, the slot made it through microns personal security guards. this is a lesson for all of us. you're watching the weekly from r t international state departments demanding nigeria reverse is it's twitter ban all the social networks and says its own uses. we'll take a look at that for you among our stories after this

the ah, with me ah ah ah ah

ah ah ah, in the hello again. the us state departments, along with some western diplomatic missions, is called on the night gere and government to reverse a recent ban on twitter. it also condemned threats to arrested uses agirri out of the social network saying it's persistently being used to undermine the country existence and comes off of the platform, deleted a post by the nigerian president, which was the local separatists of consequences unless they relent. but while twitter claims that a friend free and open internet is essential, human rights is equal to donald reports. next, it appears to operate according to different principles elsewhere. the free speech

wing of the free speech boxing. this is how twitter executives love to define that platform. the self righteousness of this is only matched by how far the twitter executives are detached from reality. lately, the band, the julian president over this tweet, many of those misbehaving too, too young to be aware of the destruction and loss of lives that occurred during the nigerian civil war. those of us in the fields for 13 months, who went through the war will treat them in the language that understand, taught or moderate has may not be able to find nigeria on the math. but apparently, their interpretation of the country's history is more accurate than the presidents who obviously wasn't impressed. and he's government wasn't taking any of that. where people, one morning politicians are going to police mean a jury duty and us for today. it was about

the right to protest, but what a similar to happened when the capital he became a selection. when are going to be fooled by anybody wherever he can do to rule. how do for the best of our ability. twitter wasn't ready for that, and it is hard to judge them for it. they had already successfully banned one of the most powerful men in the world and got away with a consequence. free nigeria though, did something about it. the o dash city. we are deeply concerned by the blocking of twitter in nigeria, access to the free and open internet isn't essential, human rights in modern society. just put everything down for a 2nd, appreciate the absolute, logical pandemonium here with me, twitter,

which is very trigger happy over an arbitrary set of rules to deny people the right to speak out is trying to be the champion of free speech. you can make this up, but the band caught the eye of some politicians who condemned it. diplomatic missions of canada, the european union, the republic of ireland, the united kingdom and the united states of america, convey our disappointment over the government of nigeria is announcement suspending twitter. funding systems of expression is not the answer. these measures inhibit access to information and commerce and some other politicians who in turn got ideas. twitter noncompliance with our rules will lead to unintentionally consequences, including twitter losing exemption from liability as an intermediary the information most time, even if it appears very attractive candidate to foreign state. how to live, how to interpret historical events, what movies to watch or what music to listen to. otherwise,

instead of freedom of speech, it becomes a dictatorship of opinion for sole purpose. and perhaps more officials should take a closer look at nigeria handling this. because if banning a president over an opinion somehow made it into twitter as definition of free speech, we all need a lesson in how to deal with big tech tyranny. twitter has no business deciding on what geo political figures have to say about anything because they're not. they're not informed enough to do so. they just are responding based on their own political prejudices. with very little knowledge about what the situation involve, especially in nigeria, twitter is pretending to be the government of the world along with other social media platforms. they are trying to institute their own sort of governmental power

. the social media platform combined have more power than all the nations of the world. and in fact, to all the states in the world, in terms of political influence. so no, this is not surprising and it's not warranted that these nations would be trying to her. twitter is political power developments were watching across in the coming hours. benjamin netanyahu is 12 years since, as israeli prime minister could come to an end shortly as parliament gathers to approve a new government and unprecedented coalition consisting of 8 factions and giving it the slimmest wafer. thin majority of just one said, well let's go live to our middle east corresponding policy in tennessee. hi that paula. what can we expect from today's ballot then? well, the special session of parliament just on the way a couple of minutes ago and the incoming is way the prime minister enough to be in it is trying to give a speech that every few words and every few sentences,

he is interrupted with people shouting at him traitor and lie to members of parliament have actually been a school to out of the station by the 30 i think been it's getting a real sense of just topic trade. his former colleagues on the right of the technical spectrum feel about his decision to form a coalition with policies in the same test. and on the left of bennett did this because he was given the promise that he would become the next israeli prime minister. this feeling of the trail and anger towards bennet is not only being felt within parliament. it is a feeling that is it code throughout his way. the society where people who voted for bennett feel to quote them that he stole the vote by forming coalition with the left. and at the same time, people are asking the question, how somebody, in other words, bennett, who got only 6 out of a 120 mandates, which amounts to something like 118000 is now becoming the next

israeli prime minister. so he says me not to a great start. listen to what people have been saying. i think the vin has gone too far by becoming prime minister. he's going to be a prime minister against all his principles against all his opinions. it doesn't make sense that then it will fit with arabs with merits, with all the different parties from different sides is about just not be there isn't anything else that brought these parties together. if it wasn't just not b, b, b, b would have been prime minister. and i think we would have been able to form a government with our data. right, right now, after spending this last weapon fears going out, not knowing whether this was done, anything getting beaten and arrested for no reason.

so many things happen when did happen. this is how it best being regarded as grad from become in their shape from something we didn't want it to be from becoming something dark and dangerous. i think someone was sick. so 7 mandates is not worthy of being prime minister of the country of israel. it's very simple thing. the people have spoken nothing yahoo received 30 mandates. he should be prime minister. that's what i think. i hope the baby returns that baby doesn't return, then at least the la could will return to the pickle forehead. if it is not fair, what they have done,

we voted for someone and we got something completely different where our boats. i gave my boat to someone else. we have all given our boats. and suddenly everything turned round and bennett was voted in. how did he succeed? to be prime minister with 6 men day, are we not democratic country? the nation has had their say. now the society has, you heard there is very divided over whether or not been it should be coming in as the new israeli prime minister. so see what he's trying to say in the speech that he's delivering right now to the committed is killed for people to unite high in him. the problem is that 60 percent off is waiting to voted in the last election were and on the white of the political spectrum. what we see coming in is a government for change, which is what they branded themselves, but they were presenting less than the majority of the trainees. so while some are counting the incoming government as a time of change and

a time of really making progress, particularly with the palestinian issue, many others are crying. a government that has been voted into power that should not have been posted into play in the 1st place. that will be interesting to see how things panel certainly is a very desperate group. and once they've got that one thing they've got in common, which is to get rid of benjamin netanyahu. what next? got some thoughts on that. in the coming i was from paula slater and television. thank you. yes. time to bring you some news in from central china this sunday where 12 people have been confirmed, killed and a further 100. 38 injured in a gas explosion. the powerful blast in the city of she calls the food market whole to collapse at around 6 am local time people were having breakfast, no buying groceries when it ripped through the building, search and rescue teams. so now working at the same, really long as it from the news room for now, thanks for watching. were off to the americans to meet the american swapping the

delhi for the dumpster to make meals out of throw it away. but perfectly edible food, fragrance of new york, as the as a korean professionals bought is much tougher on some than others. year old myers by everybody. so why would somebody believe me, i was just a little girl. the price paid to, to, to achieve really was was how to read in the paper this morning. usa swimming coach, arrested, allegedly had sex with a 12 year old girl. this happens almost every way we get calls at the office. i get informed about one of my greatest fears is someone's going to start linking all this together. there's going to be a 60 minute documentary about youth coaches in sports like gymnastics swimming. is that documentary?

see it on r t as well as sanction. rarely, we're rarely work except maybe a week, maybe a month. but the world always figures a way to get around the same. whether it's the black, whatever it is that was anxious, don't work. politicians get the city and they say see, i am saving the world, saving themselves and they're making friends which the, the news i actually don't want any big old, but i'm happy to have one. yeah, of course. oh.
