Simply unacceptable for a department to react in this manner and then tried to cover up its own negligence. A very warm welcome to you youre watching r. T. International with me and our top story this hour making history donald trump has become the 1st sitting u. S. President to enter north korea and the north korean media and trump himself drops the meeting an amazing event the reaction back home was far more muted if not outright critical. Vague talk about talks well kim continues to develop Nuclear Warheads missiles seems like this gigantic p. R. Stunt in trenches and embellish is authoritarian rule without any real meaningful strategy for denuclearization out president shouldnt be squandering american influence on photo ops and exchanging love letters with a ruthless dictator instead we should be dealing with north korea through a principle diplomacy that promotes us securitate defense how allies and uphold human rights i have no problem with him sitting down with kim to noon in north korea or anyplace else by whats going to happen tomorrow and the next day if were going to bring peace to this world we need to move forward diplomatically and not just a Photo Opportunities after crossing with a mark asian line between the 2 koreas with his counterpart in general and translator lot of progress had been made during their talks but functions against pyongyang remain in place our Senior Correspondent right gals they have explained whether they sing all they can we think it affects the almost total economic blockade korea. For all the buzz hype and the coverage denuclearization was going nowhere it had stalled again despite all the summits all the handshakes perhaps what it needed was something crazy something radical. Like. Oking. The 1st sitting u. S. President to visit north korea who would have thought the worlds most militarized border to boot they shook hands again and talked kim jong un and trump trying to revive denuclearization efforts the book clinically dead made some progress we need to start small. Form teams to find Common GroundLittle Things that could lead to bigger ones and. Everything and as is tradition now those sanctions this thing on them are some point look im looking forward to taking well i dont like sanctions being on his country im looking forward but the sanctions remain useful but at some point during the negotiation things can happen and thats what well be talking about promises promises it was sanctions the torpedoed the last summit and the state says trump until there is verified denuclearization progress however long that takes and thats what bugs north korea how can 2 sides have meaningful honest discussions when one of them is on its knees being strangled by the other this is a manifestation of the most extreme hostile acts by the United States all these speak clearly to the fact that the world dream of the United States to bring us to our knees by means of sanctions and pressure has not changed at all but grows even more undisguised now factor in those thousands of u. S. Troops stationed in south korea with guns trained in the north and youll understand why trust is well it isnt their feeling young knows its history too many nations that have gone through denuclearization with then invaded or bombed by the us i doubt kim jong un wants to join that club america fears north korea is just needed in the month to get out from under those sanctions they cades of talks and the kids have stuck by their nukes we dont expect germany to tell us the truth thats why were going to verify any denuclearization that takes place thats why we will ensure that we see actual on the ground on the ground outcomes were not going to take anyones word for it. Its not all doom and gloom though this is an ancient conflict by modern standards and this is never going to be solved overnight they need to talk and thats what theyre doing and they seem to get it now that you start small and build up the big and hopefully sometime soon the worlds most militarized dangerous board the world well i bet on the become any less tense but at least theyll be no Nuclear Standoff to worry about i think its like if theyre healthy if you can show that at least superficially he is trying to denuclearize the world and that hes actually serious even if the superficial aspect tweeting tweeting. Is going on that theres also a lot of people who support something the state department modern people im not talking about girls of this world i think he probably needs those notices you shortly will be in control people like that trump is in the middle of times right in the middle where i dont think hes doing a bad job however theatrical it looks but it is historic i mean stepping over that 3936 parallel for takes some guts i have to say. Chaotic scenes in Hong Kong Riot Police are fine tear gas is protesting the end of the occupation and vandalism of the Central Chamber of parliament rioters going into the building after flight as flushing a glass door with a trolley despite being pepper sprayed what offices. Was. Was. Oh oh oh. Oh oh. Its monday marks 22 years since hong kongs handover from britain to china but the anniversary has been overshadowed by weeks of demonstrations. Its the new extradition bill and Brutal Police response to the rallies if passed the bill would allow beijing to stake the extradition of those convicted for serious crimes from hong kong to Mainland China supporters of the bill say it will stop the territory from becoming a refuge for criminals however many fair it will lead to political persecution from beijing and undermine the areas autonomy. Or to the foreign secretary has waded in with an anniversary statement warning china to respect hong kong autonomy but to beijing reminded him to stop meddling. In this internal no foreign country has the right to were urged to know its boys and to stop interfering in any way home. And to focus on the respect stability rather than the opposite. Bethell from the u. K. s reaction. What jimmy hundreds stealing of course these because the election is the Prime Minister in these preaching and then he need to show you steve falters and the British Public that hes doing the right thing here and hes trying to be the john to creation and on hong kong with china so this is basically i believe has to do with the domestic politics in the u. K. More people more foreign secretary more president s more Prime Ministers in the world should actually express their concern about what is happening in hong kong about what theyre trying now is trying to do for the people on the phone because china is technically trying to impose a system of governance that devil that they impose on the chinese people. People in hong kong are very rightly opposing. A new commission chief john thought younker has again suspended a block summit as the leaders of Member States squabble over who should get be used top jobs but talks in brussels were into that 20 of our europe correspondent piece all of the home as well. Well a number of big jobs in the european institutions need to be decided in the nearest future really but the biggest job among them in the one thats causing the most consternation when it comes to putting forward a candidate is European Commission president its who will take over from john claude younker and what we understand is that that is not happening at the moment because of a split within the conservative bloc in the European Council of the European Councils made up of the heads of government of the 28 e. U. Member states they decide on who they want to nominate the candidate that can that its then put forward to the European Parliament who votes on it they can get past the nomination stage at the moment john claude young himself whos part of the process of searching for his replacement wasnt giving much away to the press. Conference. Leadership someone. Well certainly wasnt holding back the french president was well visibly angry at times when he spoke to the press he said it was embarrassing that they couldnt come up with a solution in the e. U. 2028 in the European Council and he said that if they were in this position perhaps the whole system needed to be changed or the sydney today has ended in failure we were unable to reach any agreement something i think reflects very badly on the council and on europe well when it comes to who is causing the problems who is causing the problems with getting this deal across its really a group thats being led by poland and by italy well i had initially backed manford for the job of European Commission president she then switched her allegiance when she realized that wasnt going to happen and had backed the timmermans plan however she said its progress was being made but they say it was a very difficult road ahead still to be the way to. Things are going in the talks will be easy and thats pretty mildly the e. U. Parliament which is to be contractions is fixated on the principle of top candidates and yet the biggest force the European Peoples Party has no majority and so donal to school had a difficult task today who will try to be constructive so the European Council the heads of government of the 28. 00 Member States of the European Union will reconvene in brussels all tuesday at 11 am as they try and work out who should be the next president of the European Commission plenty still to go yet when it comes to who will take over from john claude younger still anybodys guess right now. In germany 3 men have been charged in connection with the sexual abuse of more than 40 children aged between 3 and 142 of the suspects have pleaded guilty the abuse reportedly took place over a number of years as a campsite in the small german town of luke there between them the men are accused of some 450. 00 cases of child abuse local authorities are being blamed for failing to act. Most of the abuse was by a single suspect identified only as andreas v. Is a case of almost 306 crimes against 23 children the offense is a believed to have been committed in 1908 and then between 2008 and last year. The police are accused of inaction despite evidence of abuse for year is the authorities are also blamed for letting evidence disappear back in february they admitted losing almost a terabyte of evidence meanwhile one of the childrens representatives said the victims were questioned in an inappropriate way for their age and they were thirtys themselves acknowledge there was a Police Failure calling the situation a debacle and regions interior minister says this was was the negligence and should never happen again we spoke to one of the victims lawyers about the mistakes made. We have seen numerous flaws the most terrifying is the disappearance of 155. 00 c. D. s from a secure Police Station were talking about the c. D. s which were found at the campsite in the main suspects trailer it turned out that the people with prior convictions for possession of child pornography were working at that Police Station and still are as for the interrogation of the children they were questioned at the Police Station but this is not what should have happened there are specific ways in which children can be questioned and it involves support from social services and the establishment of a trusting relationship it should not happen as an interview at a Police Station if my opinion matters were allowed to escalate because of the careless approach to information on child pornography and paedophilia and the departments employees lack of awareness it is simply unacceptable for a department to react in this manner and then try to cover up its own negligence. Palestinians have reacted fieri asli as top u. S. Diplomats took part in the opening of a tourist site dug under palestinian homes in East Jerusalem u. S. Ambassador to israel David Friedman and Donald Trumps peace envoy jason green plants were filmed and there was an ethnically hammering the wall leading to the pilgrimage road site as part of the Opening Ceremony the tunnel was opened without the permission of palestinian residents some of whom reportedly had to leave their houses it is due to the excavation. This is not a u. S. Ambassador it is an extremist israel was circle work with green worked also the digging underneath so one palestinian town these really are trying to legalize colonial practices in jerusalem by using a religious cover friedman and greenblatt are ready to freak history for this colonial purpose. The u. S. Middle east peace envoy has responded that palestine should recognize history and stop pretending it isnt true in france palestinian flags down boy causing israel banners were exhibited by the activists who protested against the visit of the mare of jerusalem moshe leon at the occasion of naming of one parisians square Jerusalem Square in paris on sunday representative of the french jewish union for peace denounced the decision and compared them with displacement of the American Embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem lets cross live it to our guest law gideon levy a columnist at the israeli newspaper haaretz welcome to the programs there its great to have you with us. The u. S. Has really been seeking to be a mediator between israel and palestine in this peace plan but isnt this latest move showing a bias toward israel to say the least i mean to call it by us is really to say the least i think the American Foreign policy in the middle east is getting into smalls group this stage what we saw yesterday i mean if it would be so say this could be so funny to see them break an American Ambassador or digging under a palestinian village and you know where youve been they during the houses which are on top of the here and digging of good most walled. Territory was very real is no cure logic says that thats the place of the 2 koreas it was really so good. That i dont remember that theyre very careful in poli sci ever good to look so ridiculous if it is the case like you say that the u. S. Is rigorously supporting israel it wont charles does palestine have of restoring its territories. Let me correct you they dont support israel they support this this settlement project they support their right wing guy that was right wing in israel they dont support israel this has nothing to do we support israel this has to do is subject urging israel and the palestinians the palestinians remain weak forgotten divided bleeding and there was very little hope. I think the part 7 of the pilgrims project they see is nothing new its been going on for the past 60 years but why now do we have so many us but officials interested in involved. Because the administration the current american is in its ration decided to put an end to their long policy of the United States in the middle east to totally ignore the International Law to totally ignore all kind of resilience of International Institutions and to go for supporting the occupation in contradiction to the International Law violating the International Law supporting the settlements upholding those who patient and once they decided to go on this line you know the skys the limit now theyre digging into war they will build settlements by themselves until its really the ghost who very dark places this kind of policy. So what does the future hold that mr levy i mean we have the u. S. Calling this the deal of the century palestine is allowed to ignore it so whats going to happen. We have just to hope for the good and to hope that this administration will pass because the civilization cannot lead to any kind of justice Equality International implement the International Law nothing of those things can gain anything from this kind of holy see this is a policy that pushes israel to deepen the occupation instead of pushing israel to put an end to the creation it pushes israel to do to become even more violent and brutal told the palestinians instead of restraining israel. Is no longer israel has this card blanche you would see many changes on the ground i mean things that were unsinkable until 2 years ago might become true including oversleep their famous an exaggeration why wouldnt the go for an extension the americans say in favor of it gideon levy a columnist at israeli newspaper haaretz thank you for your time. Now the man expected to become britains next Prime Minister has taken issue with remarks made by Vladimir PutinBoris Johnson has vowed to show that the president was wrong to note that liberalism is now obsolete a favorite in the u. K. The conservative Party Leadership contest in 5th and brags it will prove his point his arties probably boyko from london with more details. Ever since that demand putin declared that liberalism is obsolete in that interview ahead of the g 20 summit in japan theres been plenty of discussion about what liberalism actually means there are plenty of those that are keen to counter the russian president s hypothesis one such figure is Boris Johnson the favorite to be the u. K. s next Prime Minister hes written a lengthy article in the telegraph where hes defended liberalism in the u. K. Saying that its made the country a fair a prosperous and a Meritocratic Society and he contrasts that with the way that he views the kremlin and in one part of the article he really lays into the russian political system but the conclusion of boriss defense of liberalism is that the u. K. Has to leave the e. U. By the 31st of october otherwise the u. K. Risks looking like an illiberal and undemocratic country one of the problems with the e. U. As it has developed over the past 45 years of our membership is that it has begun seriously to undermine the fundamental characteristic of a liberal democracy that the people should have the power at elections to remove those who make the rules the e. U. System makes this impossible if we want to uphold liberal values we must leave by october 31st and we will see from boriss perspective the u. K. Is a liberal democracy and to prove that its got to leave the e. U. By that how low we deadline now the European Union doesnt consider itself any less of a liberal democracy than the u. K. I have to say that i strongly disagree with the main argument. That liberalism is obsolete. We are here. Also too. Really and soon you will call the defendant promote liberal democracy donald tusk so already complain that the u. K. Is wasting all the extra time it was granted in april for that brags that extension and i suspect he might not agree with Boris Johnsons idea that the u. K. Should leave the e. U. A. S. A. P. In order to prove that its a liberal democracy and what its exposed is that everyones definition of the concept of liberalism and has to be different and that may be due to their personnel political objectives to scarper work welcoming me gratian and over the country forward but since the last couple of years since the referendum of cameron is going down south im here 47 years and i believe seen this on. So a lot the things that we dont have the right passion coming out you actually kind contradicts what were doing with our word in what we say and when it came to it and it came to the whole opinion on whats going on it was full of flies and fake promises so when it comes to liberalism is that i really. Dont think its going to prove anything i think if anything its going to truth how incompetent a lot of the people sitting in the top are. Well thanks for joining us on our to international and i think that you can have your say on all of our stories by following us on social media and even the comments that are about to face minutes with the latest about.

While the nations of the world step up their drug efforts boosting operations against councils and increasing seizures drug production and the abuse of them continue to rise despite those efforts with the mafia constantly devising new substances and ways to deliver them does the International Community have enough strength to enforce drug prohibition globally what will the debates about legalizing drug use bring to the fight against the mafia and will it ever be one u.

Just in to soudan 17. 170000000. 00 people have used drugs or was rolled which is more or less stable statistics compared but areas year as there is a slow growth but there is a gross is proportionate to the growth of the road population it means that the situation is dramatic but not as dramatic as it is presented by some. Media also there are some successes and
