But i think this is not. A dizzying this. Team before the show. But. Hello there if you missed any of the big stories from the past 7 days you are in the right place our news recap the weekly starts now. The russian president has ordered the countrys military to prepare a symmetrical response to the United States testing of a previously bound missile last weekend blooding where putin stressed however that moscow will not be drawn into a destructive new arms race with washington following the collapse of the i and their farms control treaty. I ordered the ministry of defense the ministry of Foreign Affairs and other cool offices to analyze the threat level created by the activities of the United States and to undertake comprehensive measures to prepare a symmetrical response besides russia is still open to an equal and constructive dialogue with the United States to recover trust and to reinforce International Security the pentagons 10 still very modified tomahawk Cruise Missile came just 2 weeks after the us the song to kill off a longstanding intermediate range Nuclear Forces agreement now the project of test would have violated valve accord which ban the production of certain land based short and mid range missiles or Americas Development of new weapons appears to be part of a broader attempt a country rising china just this month the us defense chief said he wants to see missiles deployed in the Asia Pacific Region drawing the ire of both beijing and moscow with a look at the growing tensions between. That was quick only last month this ground law inched smoking toy was illegal. Its already wiping out makeshift targets off the coast of california just like that and the intermediate range Nuclear Forces treaty is now part of history so soon be ready to see those in different parts of the world the pentagon boss was even quick to say they want to start with the Asian Pacific but russia is already worried about a different part of the world to Eastern Europe right near the russian borders as you can see american officials have said theyre launching busy systems in romania and poland are different from the m. K. 41 used in California Well the russian governments not buying it. But the american stuff leadership todays claiming that the ground based and k 41 launching system was allegedly unable to launch tomahawk Cruise Missiles now the fact of the violation is evident it is impossible to dispute it they themselves spoke about it and of course the question arises how can we now understand what will be located in remaining poland would it be Missile Defense systems or missile strike systems sufficiently long range so why was the i. M. F. Treaty signed by the u. S. And russian leaders more than 30 years ago so crucial to make sure that europe where nowadays americas nato allies and russia actually share a border doesnt turn into a vulnerable danger zone dotted with launch pads one following the test in california of the u. N. Security council convene this week the russian representative threw a question at european diplomats are you actually ready to find yourself in between 2 rivaling Cruise Missile arsenals. Are you going to avoid responsibility for what is happening to future generations forgive you for this. Russias present actions are in line with a pattern of aggression that represents a clear threat to International Peace and security of the Russian Federation because the sole responsibility for the reason demise of the media was it would have been humans do you not understand that by your responses to the americans you are returning to historical situation when missiles will target european cities from different sites well so far most european states have a grade with the us line d. C. Kept blaming russia for violating the i n f deal and that was exactly how they explained their own pull out theres nothing that russia can say or show to change the fact that russia has already tested the 979. 00 Cruise Missile to range its beyond 500 kilometers in violation of the i. M. F. Treaty moscows message has remained the same all claims that they were breaking the rules are a lawyer and on friday Vladimir Putin had a real go at the Us Government for whats seen in russia as completely twisting their reality in favor of uncle sams ambitions. Is pretty instead of fixing and unacceptable situation and returning back to compliance with the treaty the americans have orchestrated a Propaganda Campaign alleging violations by russia as is now clear this was just a smokescreen to hide washingtons own breach of the treaty and its intention to leave it leaves there any doubts about americas real intentions having got rid of the existing limits is now free to deploy previously forbidden missiles anywhere in the world as i said earlier though in the 1st place washingtons thinking over a bold chess move in the asia pacific not that brushes far from that area either but its clear what countries on the mind of strategists and the seen in the 1st place people in the trump administration. Yell that. They need to push back on beijing and a hard way they feel that theyre running out of time feeling that china is getting stronger and they need to act fast to provoke china into some kind of military conflict all the things that involve china right now is really just a bigger is just a piece of the Bigger Picture of political tensions between us and china whether its the trade war whether its taiwan whether its hong kong protests. Couple this protests are getting underway for a 2nd day inside with us from aus World Leaders meet for the g. 7 summit in the resort of be over its at least fullers and demonstrate is turned on its in a nearby city on saturday calling for urgent action to tackle poverty inequality and Environmental Concern and. Police used tear downs on water come in to disperse the some of whom threw stones at all the stores there was also another protest along the border between france and spain which peacefully the demonstrators say that with the world focused on the g. 7 they hope their calls for Economic Justice will be heard. That much that people dont were here to fight against this capitalist system that leads to so much destruction in so many levels. But i lose time here to fight against this capitalists rule the world to say weve had enough of the situation thats leading us to total destruction as a species as a culture and to the destruction of human rights because. I came here to protest against the g 7 and the policies of those countries leaders its ridiculous for the heads of 7 of the richest countries to claim inequality is the main theme of this forum well at the same time we see how their own policies bring about inequality the company must act to make 7 of the most powerful countries in the world have gathered only to divide the worlds wealth between themselves we talk about the fight against inequality but i think this is nonsense as always for the past 45 years i have been going to this rallies and i can tell you that none of this summits have ever done anything good for ordinary people. Or the International Aid organization alex farmers also accuse the g. 7 nations of failing to address growing inequality in a new report it say in the u. S. The poorest 50 percent of the population own one percent of the countrys wealth germany the u. K. Arent far behind either earlier jacqueline spoke to john date head of Government Relations about his organizations findings. 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. 00 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. Ok moving the program or not paul in terms join the u. S. In criticizing germany for failing to meet natos defense spending target calling on its neighbor to increase its contributions on quickly thats the spite the recent revelation that berlin has actually been spending millions of euro more than previously thought on american troops stationed in germany or europe correspondent peter all of our picks up the story. 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 now struck about germany i mean germany honestly is not paying their fair share do you think germany is doing enough to meet the to press on target you know. What should germany do they should meet the goals that they agreed to we have 52000 troops in germany. And germany is not living up to what theyre supposed to be doing with respect to later on the thing is though opposition politicians 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 the 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 being 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 parties 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 flamm 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 germanys a morgan opp a 1000000000. 00 for the privilege of having a u. S. Soldier on its soil and not only u. S. Soldiers but also Nuclear Weapons of mass destruction that the United States wrought here it dance they will look the german population we want both weapons out of here fossils possible who are both gong. That all adds up to well no small chunk of change 723000000. 00 euros thats gone almost exclusively to 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. States of the art aircraft groundbreaking Aviation Technology and elite ermine ship excitement is building in the russian capital ahead of the 29 ers show which gets going on shoes day and our correspondent John Mcwhorter the office weve got there at the sky.

Many European Countries and known European Countries including the us the year show is not a contest the contest happens at the championship with the aerobatics in other events so when the air show each group shows its skills and the speak to decide for themselves what they like of course we will show what we do best and whats new. All right well have more all of the weeks top stories up that. Leaked audio appears to support claims that a powerful u. S. Oil and gas lobby group has been working to get pipeline protests by the. You know world of big partners a lot and conspiracy its time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made history media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now were watching closely watching the hawks. Thats my life and you know i started out australia 40 years ago and ive been living in the luxury areas life of ever cheaper money ever since literally not having to work a day in my life because they assets bought it 40 years ago and ive gone straight up. It teen minutes into the Program Welcome back to order you has apparently revealed a major us oil and gas lobby group hope craft legislation that criminalized and to pipeline protests now that was in response to demonstrations against the construction of a pipeline in north dakota in 2016 during which activists in themselves to quit with protesters also started fires when the authorities tried to remove them from the site with more on the story here is kill them up and. If you want to have big influence in washington d. C. And we need to have a big lobby and that means you need to have big money meet the american fuel and petrochemical manufacturers the f. P. M. Represents all the big names in the Energy MarketsKoch Industries chevron exxon mobil Valero Energy to name a few now the f. P. M. Has been around since 1902 making sure that the voice of the ultra wealthy oil monopolists are not left out of the political process and it seems like their latest target has been protesters now the f. P. M. Has crafted legislation in 22. 00 different states already passed in 9 states that would severely restrict the activities of political activists who might get in the way of Oil Pipelines and other profitable infrastructure in an audio recording obtained by the intercept the groups Senior Vice President discusses the strategy that theyre using to criminalize protests. Well. Now the language of the riot boosting act is a little bit vague it could be a stretch to outlaw even thinking about protesting big Oil Companies. I. Know this is the only law thats been pushed by the am 2830000000. 00 lobbying effort killed a carbon tax in Washington State bigger cars means more gasoline and more gasoline means more profits for the Oil Companies the money and influence of big oil certainly outweigh the efforts of grassroots environmentalists Everybody Knows that in the United States of america if you want something you have got to pay for it and the oil industry certainly has all the means necessary but art see new york. Ok lets bring you know the program to hong kong where clashes have erupted again there this is the citys prodemocracy protests Campaign Continues riot police fired tear gas in an attempt to disperse the crowds of demonstrators some activists have been throwing bricks and shining strong laser beams of office or the authorities appear to be taking a tough line deploying water cannon for the 1st time in recent months it comes off for the semi autonomous chinese territory was rocked by violence on saturday night say in which 29 people were arrested people in the city are protesting what they see as the erosion of the one country 2 systems policy chinas influence over the city of. Britains prince on through has broken his silence on his friendship with Geoffrey Epstein insisting he knew nothing else they convicted paedophiles a legal behavior the disgraced american financier recently killed himself in jail while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges but the spite the jukes attempt to put an end to speculation about their relationship he didnt explain why he continued to see epstein for the multimillionaire served a sentence for soliciting prostitution from a minor. And no stage during the limited time i spend with him did i see witness or suspect any behavior of the sort that subsequently led to his arrest and conviction i met mr epstein in 1909 during the time i knew him i saw him infrequently and probably no more than once or twice a year i stayed in a number of his residences ive said previously that it was a mistake and an error to see him after his release in 2010 well it seems there has raised a lot of questions and prompted a huge amount of speculation so much so that his lawyers said they were not satisfied with the current findings to carry out their own investigation one major question is why epstein was taken off suicide watch despite having attempted to take his own life. And in more folate u. S. Attorney general william barr sacked the director of u. S. Prisons following epsteins suicide the former money launderer was being held at a facility reserved for the most dangerous criminals alongside the likes of working El Chapo Guzman the notorious mexican drug bar and we spoke to mark furnish a lawyer for the scrapes financer. The conditions to which he was subjected would go even the needs of the strongest among us its this is one of the toughest federal pretrial detention facilities in the country and the conditions are inhumane epstein was subjected to conditions that were similar to those of guzman but not remotely justified by his character or what he was accused of because he was not. A violent individual like chapo was alleged to have been hes not a guy who has escaped from prior facilities like guzman was alleged to have done. The real miracle is that we dont hear about these sort of things more about murdered pretrial detainees or suicidal pretrial detainees because the facility. Is barbaric and its a whole its a its its like i dont use the word lightly lightly but its sort of like an american go log for people who have not yet been convicted of anything. One doesnt want to treat the symptom while ignoring the disease and the disease is how people are routinely denied bail with a shocking ease given the laws that Congress Passed allowing prosecutors and judge to do that. Next on the program taking on the flinching look of Gang Activity in all of los angeles is the most notorious neighborhoods there documentary catching hell in the city of angels starts in moments. Join me every thursday. On the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport this list im showbusiness ill see of that. One else seemed wrong. Rowles just all. To me that is yet to stamp out disdain he comes to advocate and in against women equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart when shes to look for common ground. 0 why a paradise with some all around turned into a round the experimentation field the agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants theres no question otherwise why would that the Chemical Company workers 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 who have 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 racism going on in hawaii whether these Companies Feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power. So right now were driving to both neighborhoods and you can see time and distance from each gang. So this is jordan. This is the territory claimed by the green street crips during war time bonnie hunt is no less likely to come in here because this is one way in an art and one way out so once you come in and do a shooting youre trapped in their neighborhood and they can return fire so its not the safest way to to avenge a shooting so often theyll go on the outskirts of the neighborhood hoping to get a great street kripke thats a lot of times when innocent people get shot. So in the next couple of days someone from this development most likely will go over towards nickerson like they have the last couple of days and commit a shooting and vice versa so all these neighborhoods now are in play. For him. Several months ago. A gentleman with the moniker of menace from 15 hill was caught inside the gang territory of the Village Voice a couple of the village boys. Went outside jumped on menace beat him down stuffed a minister ask you. And. They took the trash here and brought them back behind another house and tortured them they sodomized them they sliced him up with a machete and when they sliced him up they put in the end his chest for the Village Voice. And then they continued to torture him then they wrapped him up in a rug burned and dumped him in long beach theres one thing about beating a guy down or killing them but the torture of the sodomy all that stuff thats thats just what gang members do so they found menace right around here beat him down put him in the trash can and then they will am. To this location here. With a murder and assault them sodomized him and torture him. Theyre not concerned with people watching them commit crimes or being prosecuted because of that. Theyll go after witnesses theyll intimidate them and if they have to the old will even try to kill them you can see how theyre marking up their neighborhood and the Village Voice. My personal opinion is a lot of gangs get a sympathetic ear to the general public and when the publics posed to exactly what these guys do. Then everyone agrees that we dont want to in our neighborhood
