Well we saw it right here once again the president s of russia and turkey are really enjoying talking about.

That somehow they managed to overcome these difficulties so once again theyve shown that and they are really counting on renewed talks in geneva of these socalled Constitutional Committee that will represent most of the sides in the syrian conflict now i just want to go back to the fact that mr aired on came to russia specifically for the max air show now thats an important thing because it follows a decision by america to scrap the deliveries of American Made fighter jets to turkey as a result of a decision by anchor ought to purchase the s 400 missile Defense Systems these are the ones that i mentioned the deployment is well underway well whats there left to want to do rollout has shopping cart here in russia and this is exactly what he did here.

Had to. Do something in particular which. You copied from. The set. It was really really good out of the. You know. Its. The most senior guess. Of left but its by far not all over yet here at the max 2019 air show the Program Continues for the rest of the week. Leading drugmaker johnson and johnson has been found responsible for driving the Opioid Crisis in the us state of oklahoma a judge there has ordered it to pay a 572000000. 00 fine he said the pharmaceutical giant had a run of false and dangerous Marketing Campaign which downplayed the risk of addiction and directly contributed to deaths johnson and johnson says it will appeal the decision with a look at the implications here is our moment in oklahoma the drug manufacturer johnson and johnson a giant Big Pharmaceutical Company in the United States has been found guilty and has been ordered to pay 572000000. 00 to the state of oklahoma in order to deal with the ongoing Opioid Epidemic in the United States this is the 1st time that a big pharmaceutical manufacturers corporation has gone to trial in a case alleging responsibility regarding the Opioid Crisis this is the prosecutor in the case stating what the judge ruled that a judge bachmann has affirmed or position that johnson and johnson motivated by greed and avarice is responsible for the ok whatever damage in our state. Johnson and johnson will finally be hill accountable for thousands of deaths and addiction caused by their activities now at the trial the prosecution argued that johnson and johnson and its subsidiaries had overstated the effectiveness of their opioid drugs in treating ongoing chronic pain and understated the risk of addiction posed by their products previously the way Big Pharmaceutical Companies have avoided going to trial is by settling out of court and paying out hundreds of millions of dollars pardieu pharmaceuticals managed to withdraw themselves from the case by paying a 270000000. 00 settlement furthermore tell the pharmaceutical industries they withdrew from the case in may by paying an 85000000. 00 settlement so johnson and johnson was the only defendant in the case they were found guilty now they do expect to appeal the decision the defense argues that this will not hold up in a court of appeal they think that they will be exempt and that the the conviction will be overturned however this is a landmark moment because this is the 1st time that a Big Pharmaceutical Company has been found at trial to be responsible for the Opioid Epidemic. Rates of opioid addiction have increased dramatically in the u. S. Over the past 20 years culminating in a nationwide epidemic now in the late 1990 s. Prescriptions for pain killers were made it readily available as pharmaceutical companies assured doctors that their patients would not become addicted but it quickly became clear that many people were becoming dependent with deaths from opioid overdoses reaching a record high of 42000 in 2016 now the following year the government declared a Public Health emergency and it is a problem that is still claiming many lives nationwide currently an estimated 130 americans die well every single day as a result of opioid medicine abuse crisis is also placing a huge strain on the u. S. Economy and reportedly encouraging higher rates of heroin use addiction specialist. Told us that both the pharmaceutical industry and doctors have failed their customers and patients well doctors certainly there are some responsibility for the Opioid Epidemic but i think to really understand how this happened again i did states its necessary to realize that a whole generation of physicians was educated to believe that opioids are not addictive as long as youre giving them to a patient in pain and this was a message that was eagerly adopted by produced by johnson and johnson by chance and by t. V. By many other opioid manufacturers why because it helped their bottom line to sell more opioids so certainly doctors have to be reeducated as they are now they have to withhold opioids they have to stop prescribing opioids for ankle sprains for chronic pain conditions we would not want the pendulum to swing in the opposite direction and for people who really need opioids not to be able to get them so finding some kind of middle ground is going to be essential. U. N. Is calling for maximum restraint between israel and its adversaries as fears of a new conflict in the middle east grow following a series of cross border incidents among the latest at least 2 palestinians are reported dead and several injured in an explosion in gaza on tuesday evening Israeli Military denies any involvement theres already been a fractious 72 hours with Israeli Operations in 2 neighboring countries and beyond and heres our tuesday quarter. Continued instability in the middle east and the allege of culprit is not the wests usual fall boy the israeli strikes were similar to a declaration of war and our country has a right to defend itself a series of attacks syria lebanon and iraq and people are pointing the finger at israel. At least they owned up to that last attack usually accusations that israels attacked another sovereign nation are met with silence from tel aviv but this time Benjamin Netanyahu justified the attack claiming iran was targeting his country with explosive drones according to him the situation was kill or be killed. If someone tries to kill you rise up and kill him 1st in a complicated operation by our Security Forces we determine that irans quds force dispatched a special unit of militants into syria to kill israelis on the Golan Heights with explosive drones i would like to emphasize that this was a mission to fully run under the command of iran at the behest of iran. Netanyahu often harps on about the supposed dangers of iran but when it comes to the facts the Islamic Republic is often on the receiving end of military violence about a year ago israel struck nearly all of irans military structures inside syria it was the countrys biggest assault since the beginning of the civil war back then netanyahu played the very same preemptive strike card whenever we will hit back sevenfold whoever prepares to strike at us we will act to strike at them beforehand this is what we have done and this is what we will continue to do the never ending demonize ation of iran might have made israel its share of enemies in the middle east but in the west its reeled in some powerful allies this is 40 years 40 years of malign behavior so whether it was seizing a british tanker that was in International Waters or shooting down an american u. A. B. That was also in International Airspace or assassination campaigns in europe are trying to kill an ambassador here in the United States has this long history of blind behavior iran had its tankers detained its airspace violated by drones its military installations outright bombed all by the u. S. And israel what other aggressive provocations does iran have up its sleeve we got reaction both from both iranian and israeli analysts on the latest developments. Iran is trying to envelope israel from all of this through his ball which is the fact of li iran through syria through iraq and even through gaza its like a big octopus sending its arms in order to strangle israel the problem you have the israelis like this oil out of the world. And because no one no one calls it to account its allowed to get away with essentially murtha. Talking to hit 3 separate sobering countries in the past few days israel has no issue with iran if iran would focus. On its own people and stop trying to destroy israel as it explicitly says it will do and if i meant to tear around the world we would have no issue with iran however iran has decided to attack israel to build forces and to strangle israel but were not going to wait with Defense Systems you dont win by playing defense you have to preempt and thats what we will do i see no one questioning why israel is doing something why israel is provoking the situation at the end of the day israel needs to understand that iran has said this time and time again that look youre playing with fire dont do this dont be silly behave yourself iran has been a real interest in stopping the war and iran will not stop her boy its a long and i have said it categorically. What iran will do if it is attacked or its allies within the resistance axis are directly attacked they will retaliate and rightly so because in this case the aggressive the one whos instigating problems whos lying and making up fairy stories because its control and influence within the Mainstream Media is israel and everyone knew most israelis are ropes that its a country that is close to 400. 00 Nuclear Weapons targeted at multiple countries and yet no n. P. T. And no questioning no no discussion about to get iran which has a Nuclear Program Energy Program it constantly gets accused of making Nuclear Weapons and all this stuff which is slightly from the supreme leaders own discrete to schools is forbidden. G. 7 summit has been praised by World Leaders as another productive get together but what was actually achieved well look into that after a short break this is arch international. Seem wrong. To shape our disdain. And it. Was betrayed. When so many find themselves worlds apart. To look for common ground. What politicians do. They put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president. Or some want to. Have to try to be prochoice this is what the 43 of them all cant be good get. Interested always in the water out. There said. This is r. G. P. International now the french president has hailed in his words an extremely productive g. 7 summit after 3 days of talks wrapped up in on monday but despite the group of attending World Leaders voicing optimism for the future his this years meeting produced a very few concrete commitments here is our Senior Correspondent about gusta. It was nice nice stuff the weather was decent lots of people nice people good conversation good stuff nice couldnt you. First of all i would like to thank President Trump and all the heads of state and government present here for the extremely Productive Work and very productive discussions weve had since saturday evening together i want to thank you very much mr president for the credible job you did this is a truly successful g 7 there was tremendous unity it was great unity as i said nice not exactly wonderful or amazing but yeah pretty nice i mean could have been better they could have agreed on something significant the cheve a little more argued the little less and if the there was a lot of nervousness at the outset a lot of expectations a lot of tension and we had a lot of conflicts just look at the bright side theres always next year to get something done is not nice to be fair there was a lot of stuff on the agenda in the trade war with china the brazilian president s rudeness brecks it should not ignorance whether to invite the largest country in the world iran for the millionth time. We all know what trump thinks about iran much as a bit of a cold war between the 2 most of the rest of the world actually wants to go back to the Nuclear Agreement trump ripped up what a conundrum huh so macron invites the foreign minister of iran hoping to break the ice and surprisingly things became a little all could also unsurprisingly trumpet would eat his own tide before admitting it it was coming in and i respected the fact that it was coming in and he met with president mcbroom in iran is a very difficult situation. There. In the positions are a very good position from the standpoint of economics and thats ok because we concluded a very quickly even said hes open to meeting irans president when the time is right perhaps after another few rounds of sanctions once they find something in iran they havent sanctioned yet speaking of sanctions that trade war is still raging. One mans sanctions are another mans tariffs and the United States likes both so much so trump says he regretted not imposing more tariffs on chinese made goods because trump making companies and consumers the average american pay more for ordinary stuff is great for everyone which didnt go down well with the rest of the summit squad just think one. Of you trade. To be honest it wasnt trumps greatest performance there they were having a nice dinner all in cincy is smiles and fullest laughs and use and brings up the boogie man. Trying joining your mitchell in star red chuen a stew prepared mommy tackled style while trump talks about inviting russia back apparently he wouldnt shut up about it i think if youre working. With a number of people who would like to see russia back i think it would be and it would be advantageous to. Many things in the world or das it worse some of those present agreed why on earth would you want to invite a country thats a key player in almost every major global issue. Well it would make sense but not off the crimea g. 7 is for friends and friends pretend to be there for each other everyone knows that and putin it seems has Better Things to do because its going to get a little g. 8 doesnt exist anymore how can i return to an organization which doesnt exist today its the g 7 regarding a potential format with 8 Member States we never reject any proposals some time ago it was russias turn to hold a g. 8 meeting but our partners didnt. But there are other International Organizations which play a significant role in International Affairs take the g 20. All in all as i said nice great as g 708 scuba a lot of total catastrophe but this year trump even signed this single page unlike last year when he simply school doubt. That removed wasnt nice. We asked a leading Us Libertarian Party politician whether he thought there were any positives to be drawn from this year some of. The g 7 is to the world at what the Federal Reserve is the United States it is a meddling problematic internationally damaging organization whose time has come and gone and we no longer should be having decent meetings at all in my view to me it was political theater i think that the United States and iran should talk i think that not talking to an unstable regime that is on the verge of becoming a Nuclear Power is a diplomatic mistake what should be doing in terms of of tariffs is getting rid of all of them there is every reason to get rid of tariffs that does not require a g 7 or g 8 or a g 20 it simply requires individuals to say i dont want to pay more for the same thing i mean country that unilaterally lowers tariffs is going to benefit its own citizens. Immediately. Going on a world tour can sometimes be a lonely business so one russian adventurer sighted to take a bit of his beloved homeland with him his very own russian made class advantage known as a bunker which in russian means a loaf of bread and it has seen quite a slice of the globe so far. Ive decided to do something extraordinary driving a typical russian car pool hunka is that typically a russian car. One african man who saw our car cried and explained to us that he took part in a war in his car as a driver he said in the end that thanks to cars like this one weve won the war. Our trip is not finished yet we want to cross every time zone thats why we have a route from flight of us stuck to moscow for the moment weve gone 80000 kilometers i think we will have 95 when were finished. There you have it and that will do it for me ill be back in about 34 minutes with another look to news international. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is often dramatic to follow only im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. Dares things. Officer. To get up off the ground begin to down. Heard them freeze on the sounds of an mit grown man with misleading essentially. Wish to do away from the officer. Of his group. The obvious or did they kind of lunge for the web in ones midst and then when it happened on tree swung as i didnt hit him i never saw any contact with. Any kind of went back to where they were so the officers back here there try again 15 feet apart at this point and thats when the officer pulled out his gun and he bit on tree.
