Or broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our Day International im sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us. All right the french president has opened up about his air of tension and conflicts heading into the g. 7 summit which has it now wrapped up our Emmanuel Macron earlier held a joint News Conference with donald trump in southwest france where the leaders played down any apparent rifts. Be the model of the 1st of all i would like to thank President Trump and all the heads of states and government present here for the extremely Productive Work and very productive discussions that 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. President micron has stated that the leaders are only managed to agree on a one page declaration from the summit or to tried to be insecure takes a closer look at how the meeting played out. 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 mike or 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 wrong of course the us and the door 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 be the go between between iran and the United States meanwhile the United States has placed sanctions on iran theres been these growing tensions in the persian gulf and the president might call an ace up his sleeve at this summit he pulled a rather diplomatic move and flew in the Iranian 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 the 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 fill in the 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 are all in disagreement again at the press Conference Today dont trip spoke about this saying it was better to have russia in the tent than 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. It 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 gaff attacks this is 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 sort 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 agreement between the 2 countries and france looks like its now going to grow back and if not to proceed with that socalled gaffe 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 wine ok. You love your french wine 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 but also the other leaders of the g 7 nations. U. S. Libertarian politician or vote the importance of the g. 7 in Global Politics is now a thing of the past. Is to the world at what the Federal Reserve is the United States is a meddling problematic internationally damaging organization whose time has come and gone and we no longer should be having to get all of this is 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 tariffs is getting rid of all of them thats means a lower cost for america. Business is a be more innovative create better jobs rather than having to pay inflated prices for the Bare Necessities of functioning that does not require a g 7. 00 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. U. S. Pharmaceutical giant johnson and johnson has been found responsible for causing an Opioid Crisis in the us big pharma has been accused of pushing american doctors into prescribing prescribing opioids neglecting the downsides such as a risk of addiction or teased him up and has more on the importance of the. Got a landmark ruling today 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 today judge bachmann has affirmed or position that johnson and johnson motivated by greed and avarice is responsible for the oak you would ready have to make. 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 when it comes came to treating ongoing chronic pain they overstated their effectiveness 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 in settlements to avoid such a proceeding as we saw monday taking place previously it was not only johnson and johnson that stood as defendants but furthermore pardieu pharmaceuticals was on trial as well however they were and they managed to withdraw themselves from the case by paying a 270000000. 00 settlement 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 and many different forces in the United States have long argued that Big Pharmaceutical Companies should be held responsible for the ongoing Opioid Epidemic that has claimed a number a large number of american lives crisis goes back to the 1990 s. When opioid base to drugs flooded the u. S. Market the problem grew as patients who turned into heroin dealers after their prescriptions started to run out. In 2018 almost 70000 people died from drug overdoses across the country on average 130 americans die every day from an opioid overdose the legal battle. Against the drug manufacturers is ongoing in dozens of u. S. States. Addiction specialist and the limpy believes big pharma as aggressive marketing is partly responsible for the spread of opioids. Well doctors certainly there are some responsibility for the opiate epidemic but i think to really understand how this happened in the United 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. Once celebrated as a firm and that promoted free thought and lively discussion google has issued a new set of Community Guidelines banning political debate and work the decision marks the culmination of several years of intense scrutiny over its policies both internal and external and 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 and 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 a number of topics the 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. And. 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 be late 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 at targeting political speech now that i have 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 employes 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 itll work i think it will backfire. Lebanon has asked the u. N. To put pressure on israel over recent series of strikes that hit targets in lebanon on sunday and monday lebanese leaders did not mince their words describing the rates will top and as a declaration the wall that allows us to defend so sober ansen dependence and the rule into a group. Where it according to reports tel aviv launched 3 are strikes by palestinian paramilitary groups a base in the east of lebanon on sunday 2 drones believed to be israeli crashed down in beirut and buildings being used by the iran backed Hezbollah Party it is believed there were no fatalities. Of 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 of it targeted a Shiite Militia group and possible Iranian Military advisors Prime MinisterBinyamin Netanyahu said action was then taken to thwart an imminent attack earlier we heard from a regional experts on whats behind tel aviv and tehrans respective strategies. Iran is trying to envelope israel from all of the sides through which is affectively iran through syria through 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 its own people and stop trying to destroy israel as it explicitly says it will do and 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 the problem you have is very loose like this oil brach of the world. And because no one no one calls it to account its allowed to get away with essentially murtha. Talk it out and hit 3 separate sovereign countries in the past few days i see no one questioning why israel is doing something or 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 no real interest in starting a war and iran will not start a war its a long time 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 aggressor 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 israel is a 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 it yet iran which has a Nuclear Program of Energy Program constantly gets accused of making Nuclear Weapons and all this stuff which is slightly from the supreme leaders own discrete discourse is forbidden.
