Where there is none in the morning here in moscow you watching international our top story the u. S. President donald trump claims he canceled his state visit to denmark because the countrys Prime Minister made some quote nasty remarks he had offered to buy greenland an autonomous danish dependent territory but that was quickly rejected. Prime ministers statement that it was absurd that was that it was an absurd idea was dasti i thought it was an inappropriate statement well she had to do is say no we wouldnt be interested in and im sure these could show a lot of competes an absolute discussion and a Prime Minister of greenland has of course made it clear in greenland is not for sale and thats where the conversation ants dont say what an absurd idea that is because hes not talking to me. Giving hes not talking to me hes talking to the United States of america you dont talk to the United States that way at least on the meat. Queen he would have hosted trump express shock at his abrupt cancellation agreement as the Worlds Largest island and its all say rich in resources to but trumps ambition to buy it is not entirely a new one zebra frank reports poor queen of denmark it just happened to be that way you know the way that part of her land is the worlds biggest island greenland just to the northeast of america and that its donald trump whos in charge at the white house right now copenhagen is nowhere near tehran or beijing in every sense its a devoted nato member that once allowed on cold sam to settle on its soil now though theres a conflict brewing and danish officials have ended up facing the embarrassment of having to comment on mr trump rejecting an invitation by the queen it is with the requests and surprise that i received the news that President Trump has canceled the state visit to denmark at discussion has however been very gracious about a potential sale of greenland this has clearly been rejected you can check out some of the trump greenland means if you havent seen them but now everyone who giggled at donald trump adding the island to his shopping wishlist have realised his being absolutely serious just so you know the president s idea is an old 1150 years old in fact. I have heretofore expressed the opinion that we should purchase iceland and greenland but especially the latter the reasons are political and commercial now the acquisition of greenland will flank british america for thousands of miles on the north and west and greatly increase her inducements peacefully and cheerfully to become a part of the American Union but the actual proposal didnt come until just after the end of world war 2 that was when the state Department Officials once again outlined the benefits. The committee indicates that money is plentiful now that greenland is completely worthless to denmark and the control of greenland is indispensable to the safety of the United States and so washington offered denmark 100000000. 00 in gold bullion for the island copenhagens answer was no well we have much to america i do not feel that we have been the whole island of greenland although the us shouldnt really have been disappointed because of what happened next in just a couple of years denmark joined nato plus not only gave up attempts to get rid of the us military on the island it allowed the pentagon to set up americas northernmost air base there here where the temperature has dropped to below 0 and winds rose to 150 miles an hour gave you. Bright sun as a rough blizzard created by dense fog or blinding snow American Ingenuity and daring have built a new outpost in this country to do them. Based on the top of the world that documentary was even nominated for the cademy awards by the way anyway since the pentagon can still pretty much treat greenland as its own backyard there isnt much for the u. S. Administration to worry about their radars are out there in a perfect position to track Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles and satellites and low earth orbit before they reach the skies of mainland u. S. Or wait china is always something to worry about even if were talking arctic beijings already made an attempt to buy a former american base on the island and try to secure a contract to build a new airport there for now the chinese were shown the door but now what the white house man read the stirring things up around greenland we could be in force in very odd twists in the story. Poor queen of denmark. Well the u. S. President also one happy at the moment kim anything not coughing up enough on the phones and i needed to spend hundreds of millions of euros just on a merry. Bases in the country alone will have a look at this in more detail in a few minutes time. Now ahead of the g. 7 summit in france later this week paris has revealed this years event will be run on a much tighter budget. Rubella margaret you know parliament voted for a budget of 36400000 years for the organization of the g. 7 summit and this figure is much lower than we have seen for previous summits whether in canada or italy. Meanwhile g 7 countries have been blamed aggravating inequality around the world by the International Aid Organization Oxfam president macron has promised to make the fight against inequality a priority at this years g. 7 summit in france g 7 leaders regularly Pay Lip Service to the dangers of extreme inequality youre the actively fueling inequality at home and across the globe when my colleague Jacqueline Vega spoke to oxfams john date he wants the g 7 to take action. Why do you think the g. 7 dont work properly what are the main problems more widespread as well so we think one of the kind of Major Barriers is how wealth is distributed between people across the world and in g 7 countries so that the 7 biggest economies in the g 7 hold nearly half the worlds wealth and actually if g 7 leaders implemented a new tax a new wealth tax where they to tax the top one percent of richest people in g 7 countries an additional not point 5 percent on their wealth then it could raise 200000000000. 00 pounds a year now thats a huge sum of money thats enough to educate the 262000000 children across the world who are currently not in school and also you to have enough money left over to put money into health care and to fund. Enough health care to save the lives of 2000000 people were all time accuses g 7 countries of favoring the rich when it comes to taxes adding that its the wealthy that drive governments policies to charity also says the g 7 care more about shareholders than work is and accuses them of aggravating the Climate Crisis to is john data again taking these 3 some of those issues. What was the oxfam report on the g 7 summits based on so 7 leaders including my new mccrone whos hosting the summit decided to make inequality a key focus of this years g 7 and we think this is really important because the world bank and about and others have recognized that tackling inequality is absolutely essential in order to beat extreme poverty oxfams report looked at the record of g 7 countries in tackling inequality and we found that actually in a number of areas countries are fueling rather than reducing inequality for instance by not implementing progressive tax systems by fueling the Climate Crisis and also by promoting a shareholder 1st Business Model with that doesnt suit the needs of workers and many people in developing countries on a low income that you thought of and has existed for quite a long time are these problems that the report has highlighted something new or where they there from the beginning we know that inequality has existed for for a number of years but actually under a lot of measures inequality is increasing. So oxfams own research found. That inequality had increased over the last year and actually the wealth of the richest billionaires was growing while the wealth of the poorest half of society had fallen do you think that this oxfam report will have any impact on this upcoming g. 7 summit we hope that the g 7 leaders will take it seriously as you know it was a menu mccrone himself and g 7 leaders who decided to make inequality a focus of the g 7 so what were doing is providing some ideas to how they might tackle inequality and help reduce poverty through tackling inequality. Germany has revealed it spends hundreds of millions of euros on u. S. Troops stationed in the country despite the washington. Still putting pressure on berlin to cough up more on defense to meet the nights target of 10 percent of g. D. P. Germanys Current Expenditure is 1. 4 percent thats about 47000000000. 00 euros in comparison greece does meet the 2 percent target for athens that amounts to just full 1000000000 euro peter all of it takes a closer look. Its been a refrain of u. S. Politicians for quite a while now germany must spend more on its military under President Trump that referring has turned into a crescendo the thing is though opposition politicians here have requested from the finance ministry documents that show that actually germany has been spending more than was thought for the privilege of having u. S. Troops in their country over the last 7 years germanys contributed 243000000 euros directly to the u. S. Armed forces for things like pension contributions and Building Maintenance theres also been a previously unheard figure of 480000000 euros thats actually germanys contribution to the nato construction budget however the documents that were requested by the left party show this money went almost exclusively to u. S. Projects the m. P. Who made the request is far from happy about whats being revealed germany is a hop of global u. S. Small fire its subsidized by the german taxpayer must be stopped at last a recent poll of german citizens found that 3 quarters of those asked didnt think theyd be any risk to their safety if u. S. Troops pulled out of the country altogether germany is currently a morgue and a 1000000000. 00 for the privilege of having u. S. Soldiers on its soil and not only u. S. Soldiers but also Nuclear Weapons of mass destruction that the United States wrought here gas will look the german population we want both weapons out of here fast as possible who are both scar. That all adds up to well no small chunk of change 723000000. 00 euros thats gone almost exclusively for the United States to put that in the bit of context well thats more than the Agriculture Ministry requested to fight Climate Change with a Reforestation Programme its about the same as the 10 year refurbishment plan for the Natural History museum and its almost as much as the annual budget of the German Space Program earlier this month the u. S. Ambassador suggested the u. S. Troops could pull out and relocate to poland but the some here at the moment that seems more like a hope than a threat peter oliver r. T. Berlin. Does get underway in moscow next week its the max 2019 and head of that arties dont quarter to get a chance to take to the skies to one of the aerobatic. The russian team is preparing for an International Aviation and space so this is a major air show thats going to take place at the end of august and theres going to be there ted and pilots from countries all over the globe the pilots are going to be showing up their bets and thats a bad and we were lucky enough to get invited to a plane to join one of those pilots so i hope youre not afraid of. That but. After we returned in one piece our pilot constantine told us all about the International Aviation and space so long. I have been training for more than 10 years and ive been in the pilot for 4 years the air show include the mock featuring aerobatics performance and the standard maneuvers championships rolls and loops etc the International Tournament features competitors from. Many European Countries and known European Countries including the last years show was not a contest the contest happens at the championship with the aerobatics and other events so when the air show each group shows his skills and this big daters decide for themselves what they like of course we will show what we do best and whats new. Its always a great spectacle see now still to come this hour steel plants in the u. S. State of michoacan is temporarily laying off hundreds of people blaming problems tiresome trade wars will have a closer look at the stuff back. Seemed wrong. But all wrong just dont hold. Any belief yet to shape out this day become educated and engagement equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Going back to medieval days you had the church which is like the monetarists present day 21st century where they would discuss how many angels can dance on the head of a bed they were in power and they enclosed this little model and now weve got neo feudalism are you guys central bankers discussing how many derivatives can be stuffed into a worthless cash and fund and weve got folks in San Francisco in newark new jersey die from medieval diseases. Oh yeah i knew without a now a steel producer in the u. S. State of michigan is laying off hundreds of people playing the impact of Donald Trumps trade war with china with china the swing state was crucial to his victory in the 2016 election and he is there with promises of providing local industries. Has more on the story. Michigan the Traditional Home of the Auto Industry is a big chunk of whats referred to as the rust belt of the american heartland recently the industrial state has been economically declining as many u. S. Factories have closed their doors hundreds of workers at the great lakes facility will be getting a temporary layoff according to what has just been filed by the u. S. Steel corporation is anticipated that the total number of layoffs will be less than 200 these are just so that you see current Market Conditions and recent reductions in customer demand for the pons products last year donald trump opposed to 25 percent tariff on foreign steel imports saying it would help make America Great again were going to build our Steel Industry back ups tariffs seemed to have the opposite of the desired effect the price of the stock of u. S. Steel has decreased by 73 percent and the price of hard rolled coil has gone down by over a 3rd for trump who is looking to get reelected in 2020 this is not a small matter michigan which had previously gone for obama was key in sending him to the oval office he knew how to tap into the resentment of residents of michigan whove seen their state decline over decades of dnd serialisation and decay furthermore Hillary Clinton almost ignored the state of michigan during the 2016 campaign why is secretary clinton going to michigan today isnt that sort of considered you know one of the pillars of the infamous blue wall wife then time there rather than you know one of the places its more of a swing plus as secretary of state Hillary Clinton oversaw the sale of high tech battery firms to china this cost lots of industrial jobs donald trump said that he would do the opposite and for michigan we will bring back your automobile production and we will bring back your industry when bill clinton was in office he signed the north American Free trade agreement some argue that resulted in losing 168000 jobs in michigan the old. Bamma administration didnt help things much the rate of poverty in detroit has increased from 33 percent to 40 percent at this point southeastern michigan has the highest rate of concentrated poverty of any part of the United States and the region is rapidly depopulating with the 2020 elections looming candidates should really take this state indic consideration and not just in preelection Campaign Promises but when they get into office as well. R. T. New york rasmus a professor of political economy says that u. S. Steel companies are not competitive. A lot of voters took a chance on trump but trumps policies have clearly failed not only in michigan but in other areas of the great lakes where we had a lot of manufacturing u. S. Steel companies are are not competitive theyve taken the money and raised their prices instead of investing and becoming more cost efficient and hiring more workers thats what they did so the tariffs dont work what happened was those 25 percent tariffs on steel imports the u. S. Steel companies took advantage of those tariffs distil Companies Name it related the tariffs to their benefit didnt hire workers and now because their prices are too high they have to lay people off because theyre losing cannot competition and demand. Before we go we have got some dramatic footage to show you from the russian cities that irans cleric drunk father dangled his baby daughter at a window that threatening to drop luckily though some local Police Officers managed to say i think that. C youre going to be a principal. Quite hard that. You. Should. Thank you so just. To store this just in. The boy and most of this tax season this field. Thats just for 2 nights. So the solution was true years old due to close to 026 natural local. The good guys who blew up the movie is awesome. Its supposed to. Show we should. Put a show to shake up a lot of things people should. Do it should be given. To the. Offices. Of offices never a lucky baby thats how the news is looking here so i fostered a. Vote with more for you in just over half. What politicians do. Put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. So if you want to be president. Or some want to. Have to go to beatrice this is what before 3 of them or cant be good get. Interested always in the waters of the hottest. First sip. Oh why a paradise with some up all year round turned into a round the experimentation field but agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants theres no question otherwise why would that the Chemical Company worker. Themselves be geared up that suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments that often in day you have many of these people where one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of environmental racist going on in hawaii whether these Companies Feel they can get away with that because the people have less political power. Welcome to the alex i mean sure we continue our series on the politics of protest and previous programs weve looked at the evolution of protest in the u. K. Over the last security for working class glasgow taking to the streets in 1919 to the dark against Racism Movement to taking to the stage in the 1970 s. To middle class bloodshed defending their green spaces against environmental destruction obit kristie and this show we continue our theme against a background of a hot summer of mass demonstrations and one said on the climate some urgency. And must go over the collections in paris for these really shown and not in the way of a protest in hong kong we asked Peter Tatchell the most famous human rights campaigner in the u. K. Of the last generation to deflect on his most effective campaigns ive read the single issue and single minded protest can still move the needle of political debate for me protesting is the life of a walk receive all the rights and freedom we have all the result. A protest thats how it began protest and then eventually parliamentary change we asked Medea Benjamin the celebrated american political activist what exactly is going on today are we seeing an International Wave of discontent with established political structures i can to the 1960 s. Or is this impression just a feature of the modern social media world with a banner held aloft in hong kong goes viral before you can see a president ial tweet i think social media can be. To mobilizing like we see in hong kong but i also think that before social media we had enormous protests we had mass protests around civil rights issues in the United States when there was no theys no twitter no instagram but 1st let us take a look at your reaction to our series on motor programs which collectively registered over 800000. 00 viewers on alexs Facebook Page alone but its more than the entire population of qtips smallest member state clearly the tiger economy of this tiny island is attracting a great deal of interest internationally 1st we hear from joe he says find our french holiday apartment unpacked turned on the t. V. Happy to find alex i mean sure but still sad for us but little malta has what we could have had very interesting kept hearing our voices heard good on them and hope you join them soon if you want to says great show one to watch explores the good and that not so good about malta but at least the independent to cite that for themselves cast says malta has no not true resources and yet they cost people as their most valuable resource create we see these could through a booster says alex i love you more to see these new pretentiousness know doesnt pop your high horse narrative your document as a lovely string of honest and mitchell a respectful encounters thank you so much linda says christopher and i went there in 1960. With the boy lester regiment loved it have been back many times finally wrote he says i wonder if the show touched on the issues surrounding walters bunker treating it has already cost one journalist her life just to clarify most its a beautiful country and a great place to visit where already you can watch all of the season see just how much of these topics we covered she is of course being available on r. T. Dot com and alexs facebook and cheap. Now to the politics of protest in morden scotland the last 4 years has seen a growing wave of demonstrations in favor of Scottish Independence from modest beginnings after the Referendum Campaign of 2014 these marches have been gaining ground and momentum largely ignored at 1st by the Mainstream Media and guarded by the some suspicion by at least some in the s. N. P. Hierarchy the crashes campaigners have been turning in growing and impressive crowds as they march across the country we asked some of the campaign as the Coalition Independents whether they are completely peaceful marches and scotland are really making a political definite alex transfers to the organizers of the latest much in aberdeen just last saturday and then to some of the people who were instrumental in organizing early marches and also to the organization have live streamed every evades forcing their presence onto the political agenda imo joined by from the granite city of the Mumbai Police a deficit one of the organizers of the above didnt march last week and these marches have been taking place right round scotland theyve been gathering strength gathering numbers gathering the mental but do marches like that really make a difference and with even the biggest market share of 100000. 00 people there are some to say well thats 5000000. 00 plus people in scotland not tunnelling up at the march do these marches make a difference they absolutely do and they show the costs to be a normal selfgoverning country in a very positive light we need to Exchange Information and ideas the behavior is impeccable and the amount of people that you see all this is my 1st march or id love to go all but maybe marching is not my thing but these people they partake in street stolz deliver leaflets etc so theres a wider range of ways that these groups throughout scotland are growing mushroom ing and connecting. Some of the protests that will seal across the world the big lots of arrests and powers in london
