From r. T. H. Q. Monday evening at 10 here in moscow my names column by welcome to world news from r. T. International. First off then the french president has opened up about an era of tension and conflict heading into the g. 7 summit which is now wrapped up. Hold a News Conference with donald trump in southwest france where both leaders played down any apparent rift. 1st 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 incredible job you did this is a truly successful g 7 there was tremendous unity it was great unity president across the state to the leaders only managed to agree on a one page declaration from the summit. Takes a closer look at what might have been in the dock and it was. Present trump and president back home very chummy in front of the cameras on monday afternoon but there are a long list of disagreements not just between those 2 leaders but also between other leaders of the g 7 president langhorne himself highlighting that this summit in berates had been full of tension and they feel there was a lot of nervousness at the outset a lot of expectations a lot of tensions and we had a lot of conflicts. Well one of the biggest tensions going into this meeting was what would happen a roll on of course the u. S. Underdog will trump famously pulled out of the Iranian Nuclear deal just over a year ago because donald trump said it just wasnt a good enough deal since then president has tried to sort of believe go between between iran and the United States and meanwhile the United States has placed sanctions on iran theres been these growing tensions in the persian gulf and the president might call and had an ace up his sleeve at this summit he pulled a rather diplomatic move and flew in the a rainy and foreign minister to be a rates for discussions about iran now there was no meeting between the u. S. Delegation and iran but today at the press conference president machen said he very much hoped that in the next few weeks there would be a meeting between president rouhani of iran and a President Trump now and he also then went on to say that it no way would it be possible or did he want for iran to secure a Nuclear Weapon nor for the country to fall go with its commitments to that Nuclear Accord now President Trump on the other hand would he be in agreement to meet president rouhani he didnt seem to be that certain that this would be going ahead and the other thing that they talked about was the trade war between the usa and china president saying that the uncertainty that that was causing was actually bad for the Global Economy and he wanted to see a trade deal done very very quickly now we know that President Trump says hes due to meet with the chinese delegation later this week to discuss that trade war he says that theyre looking for a deal but he also had said during this summit that is only regretted not tradeable so far is that he hasnt put high enough tariffs on china and. Then they was the only issue of russia and whether russia could be reintegrated into the g 7 making it once again the g 8 present trumpet muted this idea during a dinner hed been supported apparently by the italian Prime Minister but not the other leaders who were all in disagreement again at the press Conference Today dont trip spoke about this saying it was better to have russia in the tent and outside and it was necessary because russia was a big power to talk about global issues with them but would russia want to rejoin at the g 7 we know that president putin has said previously that once she leaves something no longer exists. 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 come up she was there are other International Organizations which play a significant role in International Affairs take the g 20. But they did seem to be some disagreement over the gaffer taxes has been a source of tension between france and the United States the last few months ever since france said it was going to introduce this tax on digital giants the u. S. Had previously accuse france of double taxation which of goes against the rules and principles of tax france it said it was absolutely necessary because the Big Companies like google like amazon like facebook and apple were not paying tax it seems that there has been an agreement between the 2 countries and france looks like its now going to grow back and if not to proceed with that socalled gap attacks thats probably a good thing because President Trump had threatened that he would put huge tariffs on french wine hes also previously said that he doesnt think french wine is very good but perhaps its the 1st lady that loves french wine you know i can confirm that the 1st lady loved your french wife ok. You love your french one so thank you very much thats right we do know is chummy in front of the camera today but still so many disagreements not just between president s trump amok all but also the other leaders of the g 7 nations. Next one celebrated as a firm that promoted free thought and lively discussion google has issued a new set of Community Guidelines banning political debate to work the decision marks the culmination of several years of intense scrutiny over its policies both internal and external and also its influence on public discourse. I certainly find the selection deeply offensive and that i think not just in United States but around the world is whats fueling concerns zina phobia hatred and a desire for answers that may or may not be there what we all need right now is googles management has had enough after contending with so much bad p. R. Over the last year the bosses have decided to say no more politics on the shop floor while sharing information on ideas with colleagues helps build Community Districts in the work day to have a raging debate over policy so the latest news story does not our primary responsibility is to do the work weve each been hired to do not to spend working time on debates about no one topics companys new guidelines demand that employees stop insulting demeaning or humiliating their coworkers and others plans or even already in place to hire a team to moderate coworkers internal Message Boards and while political debates are generally frowned upon at work googles earned quite the reputation. On top of that recent leaks by google employees sparked accusations of widespread political bias in the company from manipulating search algorithms to fit a liberal agenda i see google executives go to congress and say that its not going to do it it is not political and im just so sure thats not true to punishing those who oppose the companys political line one former worker of google even said he was fired for being conservative when i joined google i saw a lot of employees being mistreated interviews. And harassed for sharing conservative views or just for questioning Company Policies and maybe one of the most powerful companies in the world but it seems when it comes to controlling its own staff management just needs to google it there are always guidelines governing employee behavior of course but this these are unusual guidelines because they are specifically targeting political speech now that ive not really seen and thats just tremendous concern because what theyre really doing here is when theyre trying to suppress political speech by employees theyre really trying to suppress political speech by conservative employees leakers the whistleblowers so far have come forward have been conservative employees thats whats google is most concerned about parents even starting last year google began to restrict access to documents by its own employees so i think if you look internally in the company youll find that theyre probably doing much more extreme sayings to try to get their employees under control then were aware of i dont think it will work i think it will backfire. Lebanese officials have slammed a series of alleged is ready strikes that have hit targets in lebanon on sunday and also early this monday. Happens is the declaration of war that allows us to defend so sober and independence and territorial integrity according to reports tel aviv launched 3 air strikes on a palestinian Paramilitary Group space in the east of lebanon while on sunday 2 drones also believed to be israeli crashdown in beirut and hit buildings being used by the iran backed Hezbollah Group its believed there were no fatalities in that incident the death of an iran backed militia member in iraq has however been pinned on israel that raid also took place on sunday while in neighboring syria israel confirmed an operation that targeted a Shiite Militia group and possible Iranian Military advisers Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said action was taken to thwart an imminent attack earlier we heard from regional experts on whats behind tell of even tehrans respective strategies. Iran is trying to envelope israel from all of the sides through hezbollah which is effectively iran through syria for iraq and even through gaza its like a big octopus sending its arms in order to strangle israel israel has no issue with iran if iran would focus inward on on its own people and stop trying to destroy israel as it explicitly says it will do and if amending terror 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 the problem you have israel is like this oil brach over the world and because no one no one calls it to account its allowed to get away with essentially minute its targeted and hit 3 separate sobering countries in the past few days i see no one questioning why israelis doing something or why israel is provoking this 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 you dont do this dont be silly behave yourself iran has been a real interest in science in a war and iran will not stop the war its a long time and i have said it categorically however what iran will do is 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 knows israelis a rogue state 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 it yet iran which has a Nuclear Program Energy Program which constantly gets accused of making Nuclear Weapons and all this stuff which is slightly from the supreme leaders own discreet discourse is forbidden. You know without a still ahead well look at the case of a texas man who was executed last week for rape and murder despite his lawyer insisting that Scientific Evidence was ignored which would have cleared his client the details are on the way. You know world of big partisan movies 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. And shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. Seem wrong but. Just dont. Get to say palin. Answered. And engaged equals betrayal. When something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Welcome back to the family of a british sudanese man whos been held for more than 3 months in a sudanese prison have strongly condemned what they call the u. K. Governments disappointing lack of action. Was imprisoned in may after criticizing on social media the african nations Transitional Military Council but was later cleared by prosecutors of any wrongdoing r. T. Saskia taylor had the chance to speak to one of mr ahmed the daughters about his continuing detention. On the 11th of may 6th year old. British sudanese citizen was arrested and detained in khartoum despite a prosecutor finding him not guilty of any alleged crimes the sudanese authorities refuse to release him ive come to liverpool where one of kamalas daughters lives she tells me her fathers story and how anger at the British Government for its failure to take action in protecting one of its own citizens were extremely worried obviously its been 3 months now were going into the 4th month of his detention despite the fact that he has not been charged with anything and his release has been ordered. It still hasnt been carried out gaining access to kemal in prison is difficult and unreliable even his own lawyer has not been allowed to visit him but as it has been once and described the conditions there are very isolated from the outside world they dont have access to telephone calls weve tried to send in newspapers hes not allowed access to newspapers. Hes not been allowed access to his lawyer which is a basic human right for all detainees kemal moved to the u. K. In 1986 and worked for the n. H. S. As a doctor for 20 years all 4 of his children are british citizens too but the Foreign Office has been unresponsive to pleas from commands family to step in and secure his freedom the embassy in khartoum havent actually had direct contact with my father we as a family have been in contact with them updating them on my fathers condition unfortunately theyve had very little input so our only contact with the Foreign Office has been through our m. P. And theyve been very slow to respond their responses have been very disappointing thing is very shameful it reflects very badly on the British Government. Whether youre a jewel national or British National if theres injustice happening then you need to take action early on. In his detention kemal went on an 8 day Hunger Strike hoping to draw attention to his plight but though it sparked protests in his hometown the International Community failed to take notice it was a cry for attention and he went on a Hunger Strike for 8 days but unfortunately fell on deaf ears is obvious this is a human rights violation and i would call upon Human International human rights organizations to get involved in my fathers case i think there does need to be more attention on this to pressurize the British Government into taking action against his unjust attention im also case is not unique a recent petition to force the Foreign Office to make its protection of citizens an obligation not a choice reveals that as many as 1000 brits apparently being detained abroad without trial as as un others like her take matters into their own hands one can also the question is do you take government doing all it can to secure the welfare and human rights of all its citizens sask taylor r. T. M. Livable well all we know is that the british Foreign Office has stated that it is in contact with the sudanese authorities concerning comal detention will keep on top of the situation and let you know if we hear any more. Next the lawyer of an executed man in texas says key evidence has been overlooked in the case larry sware intern pleaded his innocence for decades over the rape and murder of a college student. Prosecutors are adamant that sweater engine was responsible for the murder they are argue that there were quote mountains of evidence demonstrating his guilt including for instance bits of the victims clothing found in his trailer where internet also asked a fellow inmate to write a letter to his lawyer purporting to be the real killer additionally he had a track record of violence against women. But his defense claims that there were significant discrepancies in the prosecutions chronology and on that basis he could not have been responsible they also allege that the clothing in the form of other christians try let may have been long to someone else and that the blood found on the victims fingernails didnt belong to either her or sweater engine the executed mans lawyer told us more about the conflicting evidence. We presented the opinions of no less than 5 medical examiners who reviewed the path ology who reviewed the histology and all converged on a single conclusion which was that the body was left in the woods after mr sware engine was incarcerated they all work pro bono on mr square engines case they did not ask for a dime the examiner that 1st compared those 2 pieces of pantyhose said they were not a physical match it took 2 and a half days and eventually she made them match mr swear engine was poor he was an educated and he did very ignorant things that made him look guilty we believe that. The state needs to take some action about. How the Scientific Evidence is presented evaluated by the courts.
