was a superstar says, he's like, case studies just make it to date transformations over the past decade. advance mega project, most go been for him to and to and he won the largest international congress on make. it said he development the restoring contacts and organizing direct dialogue. let me share his expectations for the upcoming summer with joe boyd's plus in the big news stories of the week g 7 lead us agree, a huge global infrastructure plan to challenge china's felton road initiative. the 1st in person summit since the pandemic tools to a close in england plus the, the french president gets slapped in the face, getting up close and personal with a crowd of supposed supporters in the south of france. ah,

hello. this is art, the international for most here is sunday, so we're going to take you through some of the biggest stories we've been covering here over the past 7 days 1st. now today's developments and to restore contacts and organized direct dialogue. that's what rushes president says. he expects from the upcoming summit with his us count about putting, putting his thoughts in a tv entity corresponded adf and trying to talk me through what was said. while this time mister pool, who was quite specific about the things that he is intending to bring up in geneva when he meets joe biden. and 1st of all, the russian leader mentioned global security. this is a very important issue, mister pokin pointed out moscow's concerns when it comes to ne toes missile defense systems that are close to the russian borders. we have always try 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 lines about the possible deployment of all kinds of combat systems. there was missiles 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 just that. a lot of my will 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. and would you would ministration lead by president biden extended the new start treaty, a 1st step. 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 once some kind of bilateral agreement, to be hammer down 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 us election and the work was scrapped not by the russian side by the west side. so now moscow, once this work to be resumed because 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 extra criminal, 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 will hear about something else, maybe from the biden administration next life. now to political commentators, your brit, my welcome to the program president putin. sounds well most conciliatory, citing biden's professionalism regarding the new start treaty as alia, was mentioning there. well, joe biden seems to be coming in more comparative. why is that? do you think? where goes, i don't know what's going on his mind, but i listen to him and he's under pressure from the media to look tough. you see like he says, he has asked the agent, the agency is to get him on board for example. and his business about the bounty, the questions i suppose of the galen giving to the afghans in order to kill americans, which always ridiculous to me. so i know that we need to put in i person using to come up with these ridiculous assertions or what you're going to do is not

clear what is going to do because really, really not low. what's going on. and i think it has to be more reasonable, easy steps with these assertions that during the american media, then today we'll ask him for who's in the no pool. so managing the disaster, i suppose that he's not suing. he's in the will as you lose that. he's looking for the media and the private in the conversation. we will try to be more easily, but i hope so at least do you think that's why biden's planning to hold a solo news conference after his meeting with to to what do you think lies behind that decision? oh yeah. yeah, but i mean if he's alone in the news come from, then of course you can see if he's put any general does, he can look at these activities the, the homeowners, the media, the media is completely crazy in the us. we do you for his business and they say

that the you for the chinese oceans and i was president, i mean was changing returned, you know, term was always under pressure of being an age and now died in which the other jews are being an agent. has to pooler these and those are the change of course. and of course they also, i mean, every time magazine, you know, when you go mean di magazine as a totally unbelievable issue we put in those you see by put in is do you know everything's against clipping. and yeah, because it was a nice week this in the time and you know by you can push them and pressure on them, which is going to work. i mean inside the gums and stuff, the kids and booting was intending to yeah, i know you made the words of optimism that with focusing on today from president

period and he expects to restore contacts, organized dialogue, a sensible goal, the thing between 2 world powers, but given the state of relations, the worst they've been in probably a generation, do you expect that to be achieved? no. was see, i mean maybe, but in a maybe in private by then we'd be more reasonable than dreams to be in public. but the, what it to be in the pressure on the, on the media makes it almost impossible versions. those are the things you can for that will position because they're not, they just want the dog. and the answer, jane may put them in a position where the situation are bigger. so on the down that you need. and of course, you know, i don't expect, frankly, i don't explain to him. it doesn't be surprised if something comes on. suppose even

a small bit of progress could be seen as when given the state of things, right. political commentators on break. well, thanks for joining us on. i'll take, thank you for having the insurance this weekend. and the 1st in 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. i had to get together biden met with the host, british prime minister boris johnson. they signed a new atlantic charter based on a degree, but that outlined the countries, the 2 countries go off of the 2nd world war. but the priority now, according to the document, is cooperation for the g 7. the main talking points were the pandemic trade and climate change plus the goals, china and russia. but i've seen you correspond them or i guess day of 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 are reverts like atlantic 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 the pandemic. there's so much to do and what better way to start than with jeezy jukes. so the prime minister we have so the both very

i'm not, i'm going to send from that. i'm going to disagree already on the else perhaps what may be construed as new is that button seems hell bent on returning a call to the glory days of the cold war and has you've been clear. ringback the united states will respond in a robust and meaningful way, and the russian government engages and harmful activities. we've already demonstrated that, except we've had the same thing in various forms for non century. if it isn't russia, it's yes, china. we will focus on ensuring the market democracies, 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 vase military spending, a vase block 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 a while. they pull something up their sleeve. the gist of leaders have come up with an answer to china's belt and road initiative by backing us plans for global infrastructure. dr. white have statement claims the build back better world plan will raise public and private funds to close the infrastructure gap, the poor nations. well, there's some g 7 states including germany, and i said, even have res, doubts about open rivalry with beijing. the belt road initiative was set up in 2013 to live scores of countries by rail road and said notably across africa and asia. so while the g 7 leaders line up to compete on lapse in the sphere of infrastructure ahead of the summit, the chair of the u. s. joint chiefs of stuff singled out china and russia as the

biggest global threats from a military standpoint. i guess to been sharing their perspective about us pressure on beijing. but 1st we have seen successive 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 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 china on something like this, particularly after poisoning the well looking to try to narrow rhetoric over the last few years. well, i wonder if i fallen asleep and waking up when woke up in 1978 or something, you know it's, it's, it's unbelievable that we need to find

a new atlantic lines. 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 at ghana, stan and syria and 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 in the mean not just thinking like they are the enemy and this is how it works . this is how the us military industrial complex works. you invented and 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 of well connected companies. well connected, think tanks in the washington beltway, and that's what keeps the machine going with the machine is going to end. because the american economy is about to collapse,

it's teetering on the edge of collapse. this is i'll say, more 2 weeks. big news on the way, plus this development coming in the next few was benjamin netanyahu faces the end of his long rule. has the israeli parliament votes for a new but fragile coalition? is among all stories after this? ah, ah ah, i think most likely is that we will find the equipment floating for space that was sent by an advance to relate. the experience will be similar to walking on the beach. most of the time you see rocks or fi shows that are produced naturally, but every now and then you encounter a plastic bottle and that gives you an important message even if it's not functional. he says that the realization is out there. ah

ah ah, me, ah, hello again. the french president got enough. the shock on tuesday on a visit to the south of the country where he was trying to drum up support for his election campaign. and manuel mccaul walked up to

a barrier to greet locals. and then this happened the 2 men who being arrested following that assault on president macro. and the 1st time that you've been physically assaulted since becoming president. that happens in the south of france near the city of violence. and as you store and not bid, 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. then present, michael puts his hand on a man's on the man and grabs back president michael and before administering that, all my feet slap the security agency immediately intervened, and 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 hearing false 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 up for a judge to decide how lenient they may wish to be. and of course, for an individual 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 managed to do so or how to move them down slightly. there's been a huge reaction hearing from including coming from the government, the prime minister showing cas 6 saying that this was an attack on democracy. they

will come see who's on it, loose us, your said 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 also, we've heard from a political policy from across the political spectrum with opposition leaders 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 in solidarity with the president. well, president, my call is currently or not toward a from says it's been cold,

he's taking the temperature, testing it to see whether or not he should be running in 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 assaulted with 2 individuals in the south of france, now under arrest, wound for violence against the person holding public authority. while since that, of course, a 20 year old attack was swiftly thrown behind bars and sentence to 4 months in jail, with an additional 14 month suspended sentence. and the 2nd person arrested the who filmed the incident will fit faces prosecution for illegally possessing weapons. which the authorities later found at his home the same time, the slap episode provoked an avalanche of jokes and beams online with twitter in particular saying political character, choose mocking. believe them,

one column has told us that it's from across who should be, who's been slapping the french people in the face before too long. we believe this is where a manual microns power lies. in other words, it's the ultra personalized and ultra 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 in a sense, among macro 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 last the eyesight 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 my crowns personal security guards. this is a lesson for all of us. within the next few hours, benjamin netanyahu is 12 year reign as israeli prime minister could come to an end as parliament gathers to approve a new government. the coalition consists of 8 desperate desperate factions giving it a wafer. thin one, st majority. if it goes through the middle east, corresponding polar sleigh reports and ex, from television incoming, its way the prime minister not to be janet 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 supported out of the candidly station by the 30, i think, been 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. and 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 been, it is not only being felt within parliament, it is a feeling that is a code throughout his way. the society where people who voted for bennett feel to quote them that he stole the vote by for me 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's certainly not off 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 is about just not be there isn't anything else that

brought these parties together. we got that from become in on thursday, from becoming something we didn't want to be from becoming something dark and dangerous or i think that someone was sick. so southern mandates is not worthy of being prime minister of the country of israel. it's a very simple thing that people have spoken letting you know who received 30 mandates, he should be prime minister. that's what i think. you know, we are going to go ahead and you know, it is not fair what they have done. we voted for someone and we got something completely different. where are our boats? i gave my boat to someone else. we have all given our boat and suddenly everything

turned round and bennett was voted in 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 this incoming government as a time of change and a time of really making progress, particularly with the palestinian issue, many others are the crying governments that you've been voted into power that should not have been posted into in the 1st place. so it will be interesting to see how things panel i news from central china this sunday were 12. people have been confirmed, killed and further $138.00 injured in a gas explosion. the powerful blast, the city of she caused the food market whole to collapse at around 6 am. local time people were having breakfast or buying groceries when it ripped through the building, search and rescue teams. and i working at the same really long as that

it all from the news room for now. thanks for watching. we're looking for signs of intelligent life beyond us next in worlds apart from arte the as a korea professionals bolt is much tougher on some than others. she was hero, my by everybody. so why with somebody, believe me, i was just a little girl, a price paid to to, to achieve really was was to read in the paper this morning, usa swimming coach, arrested, allegedly had sex with a 12 year old girl. this happens almost every week. 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 our to you join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guests in the world, the politic sport business and show business. i'll see you then me. ah, due to phoenix has actually gotten an uncovered face. men's clothing and shoulder stuck. it's a kind of us can feminism name is how camino above to the human level. some of the whole model that of us is, was on the job. but you know,

the one that gave me she lives in one of the most dangerous and patriarchal provinces of afghanistan cost figarola lacey, which time i thought, sure, no, i shall do that. i have that updated anyway. i'm glad that i got the notes that she does her best to fight for women's rights. i am not able to get that done. as you know, what i do, i know that she's not here by her nickname. the king was i got it much other than it was really go on the guy that i

me the me i don't well control the parts. i know, you know, we all know that the earth orbit the fun, but the statement though fact wasn't always widely accepted for centuries ago. it was so controversial that the catholic church actually considered it heresy. now, fast forward to the 21st century debate around extra terrestrials and you know, just a similar thing. those who hi prophesies their existence, i feel treated as a prostate why song? well, to discuss the, i'm now joined by abby. the professor of science at harvard university and author of extra terrestrial,

the 1st sign of intelligent life beyond the earth. now dr. low, it's so great to talk to you on such a fascinating subject. thank you very much for finding the time. thanks for hosting me now. i have to say to harvard and extra terrestrial life is not the most common combination of words. and i know that you gave many years to studying conventional cosmick stuff like a black hole. then the 1st stars i one day. do you think you would ever have made it to harvard or even have made it in the fields were extra terrestrials you're a regional scientific interest? well, it's not obvious, but then for me, find is, are wonder about the universe. i'm falling my child with curiosity, all the labels that they had acquired over the years and department chair, director of 2 centers and all of these are.
