Irans president says his country will not hold talks on any nuclear deal with the u. S. Unless all sanctions are lifted. Comments came a day after u. S. President said he was open to meeting the iranian leader trying to speaking at the g. 7 summit and france president has offered to facilitate talks between the 2 sides but insists washington mistake the 1st step for talks to happen house by being. The 1st step is to remove sanctions without that this lock wont be open old sanctions against the iranian nation must be lifted all illegitimate and cruel if you lift the sanctions and i apologize to you wrong then you would be a difference duration this government is moving forward in line with this National Interest we have been open to negotiation and the word agrees with this fact i was there as i said bank has more from tehran. President rouhani has been speaking this morning he spoke after inauguration of a Housing Project area at the front and he took the opportunity to address some of the news coming out of the g. 7 mainly that donald trump is willing to meet president rouhani if the conditions are right now what president rouhani has reiterated is irans position that there will be no negotiations and no talks unless the sanctions are lifted he said that the 1st step is to remove sanctions all sanctions against the iranian nation must be lifted that are illegitimate and cruel now these sanctions have drastically reduced irans oil exports and affected the Banking Sector iran refers to these sanctions as economic terrorism president rouhani said that there would be no positive developments if the u. S. Did not correct the wrong path it was on this comes after yesterday when president rouhani had suggested that talks may be possible he said if if he had to meet someone for the to move the iranian nation forward and to mediate the peoples problems he would do so in the National Interest but today its the same line coming out of iran the us longest is no sanctions relief as long as the u. S. Not just states continues on its policy president rouhani will not be meeting President Trump to talk about what has more on that she stepped inside that where france frances president called on tehran and washington to get back to the negotiating table. The prospect of a meeting between of us new reigning president s was not unlikely outcome of the g. 7 in berates but as the summit came to an end its the french president suggested talks between donald trump and Hassan Rouhani were possible. At some point there has to be a meeting between the iranian president and the us president i hope that in the next few weeks this meeting will take place france plays a role along with the other partners who signed the iran deal trump who pulled the u. S. Out of the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal last year and imposed sanctions said he was open to diplomacy were looking for Nuclear Weapons globalist missiles and a longer period of time very simple we can have it done in a very short period of time. And i really believe that iran can be a great nation id like to see that happen the development came one day after the unexpected arrival of the Iranian Foreign minister in berates jeffard sorry for his invited by the french president whod been asked by some g 7 leaders to mediate in the crisis. Trust conciliatory tone was also extended to trade he said beijing and washington could begin talks to resolve the tariffs disputes going into this summit a man or mackerel said he wanted to use it to make progress on the escalating tensions over iran and trade to help tackle the amazon rain forest fires and kill divisions using multilateral cooperation at the end of the 3 day meeting it seems the french president has succeeded on several fronts they were unresolved issues though the u. K. s Prime MinisterBoris Johnson received only a vague promise of a future trade accord with the u. S. And was no nearer to a deal on breaks it with the European Union i think its the job of everybody in parliament to get this thing done making it what the people want i also think by the way its what our friends and partners on the other side of the channel what they want they want this thing done they want they want it over last year trump refused to sign the final g 7 statement this year has scrapped it replacing it with a one page summary of the meeting so with no commitments in writing the challenge will be to. Compel leaders to. Pull promises they have made. Aljazeera. China and says there were no recent contacts between washington and beijing to talk about trade the comments came after the u. S. President said there had been calls between the 2 sides on monday donald trump predicted that there was would be soon be a trade deal with china to increase tariffs on each others goods in recent days scott heiler has the latest from beijing the Chinese Government flat out said no that hasnt happened so i guess as you mentioned obviously there have been a lot of mistruths out there that have been stated about many Different Things that a lot of it about this trade war so i guess one way to maybe interpret this is maybe this is a negotiation tactic that present donald trump has deployed and existing there is a little bit of a reeling back by his officials there who are with him at the g 7 meetings saying that yes theres been contacts so he went back from 2 specific phone calls and yes theres been contact Chinese Government saying no that hasnt happened at all but you also have to look at from the other side maybe this is a negotiating tactic from the chinese too so theres a lot of. Fog of understanding around this but right now the Chinese Government official line saying there has been no contact about moving these trade talks forward one thing thats interesting to note they were already scheduled supposedly to to go ahead in september with some meetings but we havent heard any details about that particularly after we saw this kind of very heated tit for tat last friday and then over the weekend im Gong Slater Carolan is refusing calls to step down despite another escalation of violence and antigovernment protests play shoes Water Cannons and fired a live warning shot over the weekend that some protesters barricaded streets and the 12th week of demonstrations activists are calling for a controversial extradition deal to be scrapped and for land to resign and theyre also demanding democratic reforms. The question of resignation is also being oncet i think a responsible chief executive at this point in time should continue to hold the fort and do her utmost to restore law and order in hong kong some people have said that since there are continued violence we should stop communicating i said in my introductory remarks that that that was also another to extreme view that we should prepare for reconciliation in society by communicating with different people so im saying that yes we have to say no to violence we want to put up an end to the chaotic situation in hong kong through Law Enforcement and so on but the same time we will not give up on building a platform for dialogue a judge in the u. S. State of oklahoma sound pharmaceutical giant johnson and johnson helped fuel an Opioid Epidemic thats killed more than 400000 people has ordered the company to pay 5 172000000. 00 in damages over its a price of marketing of addictive painkillers aljazeera as any gallagher reports from Norman Oklahoma. Oklahoma sets out to take on a pharmaceutical giant after 7 weeks of evidence judged bachmanns ruling was blunt he found that johnson and johnson is culpable in fueling an Opioid Crisis has claimed more than 6000. 00 lives in this state the crisis has ravaged the state of oklahoma in the s. B. And made it a bit immediately for this reason i am interested in the big plan that consists of cost hauling 572000001 102020. 00 to a media really a nuisance the case is being seen as a landmark ruling in dealing with a Health Crisis thats claimed tens of thousands of lives across the u. S. The centers for Disease Control and prevention say that in 2017 alone close 250000 people died from opioid overdoses lawyer Reggie Whitman was parts of oklahoma is legal team. And lost his 1st born son to addiction i feel like im always looking down. The street protest no but i think my son lost and are celebrating the day we got to get help. He says of his lawyers but johnson and johnson say theyll appeal the decision calling it legally flawed the States Lawyers were asking for 17000000000. 00 from the company but only got a fraction of that is the amount of money that johnson and johnson has been ordered to pay may not be what the state of oklahoma wanted but the message it sends is clear the judge in this case was unequivocal in blaming Big Pharmaceutical Companies in their role in an Opioid Crisis has blighted the lives of so many and with fountains of other cases across the country this may set an important precedent to the pharmaceutical Companies Put do in tiva settle before this trial got underway with mondays ruling oklahoma now has close to a 1000000000. 00 for treatment and this is being seen as a huge victory by those that work on the front lines fighting the epidemic were very very happy this is a good day for the sake of oklahoma we took on a giant Major Pharmaceutical Company and a judge in Norman Oklahoma said you killed people its time to pay the case was being closely watched across the u. S. In ohio alone there are 2000 pending cases but after mondays ruling pharmaceutical Companies May now be forced to pay out billions and they go across this era Norman OklahomaElizabeth Birch is a professor of law at the university of georgia she says the issues that came up during the trial are far from resolved. Right now johnson and johnson has asked the judge to stay his decision pending their appeal which means that they wouldnt have to pay anything or take any sort of affirmative steps until the Appellate Court has ruled and either up held his verdict or made a decision to the contrary the state asked for over 17000000000. 00 they only ended up getting 572000000. 00 but again judge bachmann emphasize that thats just for one years worth of abatement and the other interesting thing about that is that johnson and johnson is the only one who is paying for that entire year of abatement even though its for the cost of abatement for the entire state one of the things that judge bachmann mentioned is that if there needs to be more money in the future that perhaps the state legislature needs to take some sort of action theres certainly been some evidence during the course of the oklahoma trial that has raised some eyebrows with specific marketing to doctors even when theres been some evidence of overprescribing so i think thats part of the Bigger Picture is to take a look at the relationship between the way the Pharmaceutical Company actually markets their product directly to the doctors and the sort of perks that doctors are getting. So had on al jazeera ill tell you why hundreds of his waylands had been protesting against at the doors immigration authorities. And were in indian administered kashmir for a look at how a security lockdown is affecting the sick and those treating them.

Turkeys president russia type i dont want to send russia for talks on the war in syria but relations between the 2 countries are under strain thats despite the signing of a deal to create a deescalation zone or the rebel stronghold of itll. A year ago an airstrike by russian backed Syrian Forces targeted a turkish convoy on its way to adlib 2 weeks ago adding to the tensions and with russian backing syria increased its aerial attacks on it liban hama provinces in april to regain the rebel held areas turkey supports some of the rebels and the regions but ankaras purchase of russias s 400. 00 Missile Defense system is a factor in keeping relations on track step and joins us now from zukowski near the russian capital all school so this is a particular setting for this meeting step its an unusual setting what do we expect to come out of this meeting. Well were here at an air show and its supposed to be a spectacular air show that treating this turkish counterpart who just has arrived here 40 kilometers outside of moscow and it seems of course this is a moment where putin can show off his latest technologies and its latest fighter jets and it seems maybe that he hopes that the turkish president is keen to buy some more weapons here but it also seems that the president out of town is not in a shopping mood right now as he discussed over the phone with putin last friday he is not happy the situation in libya is creating a humanitarian disaster and even threatening Turkish National security he wants president putin can rein in the Syrian Forces but on the other hand clinton spokesman yesterday sad that putin understands took turkish problems but he also is very worried about the rebels and their activities in lip and theres also a growing impatience here on the side of russia because they feel that turkey is not living up to its promises which were made during that period last year in sochi where turks have promised to reign in the rebels and this im of them so its going to be a tough discussion here in a very 6 spectacular environment. Stop us on live for us. Thank you very much is going to Bernard Smith in talking near the Syrian Border and lets pick up on what step was saying what are the issues the problems that turkeys military is having what is it that they want from russia. Well turkey is in a bind at the moment in syria it has 12 observation posts in northwestern syria dotted around areas that were supposed to be the escalation zones have been there for the last couple of years and already one of those observation posts is essentially marooned in what is now territory controlled by the Syrian Regimes his territory recently taken as Syrian Forces advance and start to take some rebel held areas towards it live so earlier on wants russia to guarantee the security of Turkish Forces in those observation posts now that theyre surrounded by the syrians that he wants to syria they wont russia to guarantee the future security the problem is that eventually those observation posts they were supposed to be looking at keeping an eye on the escalations of all the not really the escalation zones anymore but with word of one to withdraw his troops from this one post in marek and then perhaps the others then this certainly domestically would be seen as a retreat by the arm so hes not going to do that at the moment but the all likelihood is that as Syrian Forces are once further on than these other observation posts it will end up falling into territory controlled by the Syrian Regime and the question then for turkey is what is it what is the purpose of these observation posts and what is it going to do with the soldiers in the in the meanwhile it wants putin to guarantee the safety of those turkish soldiers out of step said whatever one wants all to stop is the progression of the Syrian Forces pushing refugees further towards the Turkish Border and creating with turkey what the president has called a humanitarian crisis theres not a National Security crisis as well because not only are there refugees pushing towards the border theyre also hardened and Syrian Government forces fighters pop up pressing that wait richelle. And talk and thank you. Brazil has rejected an offer of 20000000. 00 and she 7 leaders to help nations tackling those fires burning in the amazon present also naro says the idea of creating an International Alliance to save the rain forests would be treating his country like a colony and report some parts of ale one of the worst affected areas. Look from one side of the plane and the amazon is verdant pristine teeming with life too big to destroy then this suddenly its gone. The rates of deforestation in recent months breaking all records fires are started by speculators aiming to impose mans will on nature but they often rage out of control and the devastation is immeasurable. Mice force this year the fires are much stronger than previous years they are very very strong affecting our visibility on work i think people took advantage of the dry season to start the fires they do it to dispose of all wanted vegetation to enrich the soil and clear the way for lucrative cattle ranches and soya plantations only from up here you got to Say Something to remember if you happen to think that the day of the destruction 1st of all the great waves of round up ready i think to run for by the fire of recent weeks.

This is the beginning of the rainy season which is hoped will douse the fires of the still burning theyll be. Used by the International Concern saying they are dealing with what for them is a natural but containable problem people tend to see the problem with their own lands or with the lens that offered today and i think that we there are here right now on the side of the problem wed like to see very use of the problem and then we know we really doesnt look at it as a problem that was such a big problem as is so right now. People come to the Amazon Region believing they can tame the wilderness can take control for developments from up here it looks like the only way to tame the rain forest is to destroy it and when now it is iran.
