like a. good day here in moscow an event coming up presidents run across them approaching gearing up for a new talks the french leaders of the mediterranean presidents later today with crane syria and iran all on the agenda for across it also has an evil propaganda machine doubletons promoting a blistering attack of the new york times as leaked borneo now suggests that his editors have been looking for new ways to cover the president after 2 years of fixating on russia. and his germany's green party enjoys a surge in popular support of late we take a look at one of the most ambitious yet very controversial proposals coming up.

good afternoon life multi-nationals world news and here mosco is kevin i with you for this 30 minute round up thanks for joining so then as mentioned from this is president of a crawl is set to welcome russia's little more potent to his summer residence on the mediterranean coast later today the talks which are expected to focus on the crisis in ukraine syria and the ongoing problems in the persian gulf come ahead of a big g. 7 summit in beirut slated this week reports. well what an idyllic setting for the 2 presidents to meet a 4th overlooking the mediterranean sea thought of a break and so on has been an official french residence of the president since 1968 of course it's not the 1st time the president has invited a leader to this sport it's his holiday retreat and he did of course invite to reserve may the former u.k. prime minister last see in 2018 but this will be the 1st tete

a tete he's had with president putin at that for what well many are saying the timing of this meeting between the 2 presidents is very significant why is that well of course it's just a few days before the g 7 nation leaders will be meeting in relatively nearby to be the stressing global issues and many are saying that this could be the kick start that's needed to improve and reignite relations between russia and the e.u. so what's on the agenda today between corn and putin well of course the bilateral relationships with the e.u. and here of course in france but they'll also be discussing the syrian conflict ukraine and perhaps most importantly one of the most divisive issues all of the modern day is iran and that's because of course president mccollum present trump are likely to be discussing that when they meet at the g. 7 meeting later on this week at those 2 of course the old best of buddies and now

on the 2 different sides all of the divide when it comes to the reining in nuclear deal so a very important issue and it will be important for president michel and the russian president putin to discuss that and to see where they meet. on that issue now among whom and putin will be looking in this meeting to perhaps develop a deeper relationship between the 2 they 1st met back in 2070 not long. to present was elected here france they met in paris at the palace and that meeting got off to a bit of a shaky start but since then it's you have met on many occasions deepening their relationship eating understanding of each other in fact in 2008 they met 5 times this meeting will be the 2nd meeting in 2019 we know that the 2 have forged a better relationship over the past 2 years and we know the present my corn is

already agreed to attend the victory day parade in moscow in russia next year for the 75th anniversary very significant event and showing that the 2 are looking to increase their chemistry and to forge a deeper relationship between the 2 countries and hopefully improve that relationship between russia and the e.u. . donald trump launched another scathing attack on the new york times this time accusing the publication of producing some of the worst journalism in history said the latest outburst came after a lead toward emerged of the papers executive editor discussing how to cover the president and this administration in the wake of the russia gate scandal it goes down off reports. trump is a russian acid this message of the not too carefully ciphered in articles and reports has been overwhelming americans and the new york times seemingly used all the power and authority of its award winning journalism to propagate the message.

but then came the miller report something that was and to support had to become the fatal blow to donald trump's credibility rebound ricocheted and had the media back with the momentum of a boomerang for the new york times it meant this we built our newsroom to cover one story and we did it truly well now we have to regroup and shift resources and emphasis to take on a different story this is part of a league transcript from dean baquet the new york times executive editor giving a speech in front of the paper's authors this shift he's talking about is far from

good news for trump because apparently now the newspaper is going to degrade him from a russian puppet to something arguably much worse a racist. race in the next year is going to be a huge part of the american story and i mean race in terms of not only african-americans and their relationship with donald trump but latino asian immigration work to the near times for 15 years i think that the new york times has immensely damaged its credibility by trumpeting this narrative trump was a russian agent certainly within the last few decades one of the most egregious journalistic failures a terrible terrible failing and. i find it disturbing that dean baquet the executive editor of the new york times what will even acknowledge that mr k. also likes to put the new york times on a pedestal for being one of the few remaining independent journalism sources out

there except to believe that you'd have to deliberately ignore the distinctive scent of partisanship reeking from the paper's supposed new racism narrative donald trump publicly and unapologetically embraced a political strategy may hate racism and division he's a man who cosies out to the white supremacist has been about trying to divide us in a way that it's been about trying to sell hate and division among us we have a president of the united states is a racist this is a guy who is worse than a racist he is actually using racist tropes and racial language for political gain the newspaper might have begun to retroactively implement the changes since it recently changed the headline of one of its articles from this to this under the pressure from well the democrats so one thing is for sure race will be

a huge part of the american story next year the presidential one what happened. the moeller report did not deliver as the new york times and much of the other mainstream media promised that it would and from that transcript you see that they are going to pivot to another kind of campaign against trump which will be focusing on is racism but none of this is is journalism and some is a kind of switching of one moral crusade or self defined moral crusade with another their coverage of the russia gate of the russian clues and story was a huge squat and during that story critics accuse them of ignoring other things that trump was doing so now after russia after the russia collusion story as for up to the times is decided to cover other issues like trump and racism but believe me

they'll do a very bad job. they'll get a lot of basic things wrong and and probably benefits rather more than they will hurt. footnote this story the new york times hasn't reacted to the release of the audio recording as of yet or indeed responded to requests for comment from us if they do we'll tell you what the say since we get it now meantime then with america's race to bite upon he said to gain more media coverage alleged f.b.i. documents have emerged detailing how the agency intends to tackle rising levels of hate crime covering that today caleb maupin next. there are many different threats that are being faced by america's men and women of the f.b.i. this point its mass shootings and terrorist attacks that tend to grab the headlines but they are facing another top priority that would be racial violent crime racially motivated violent extremism in compass says threats involving the use or threat of force or violence in violation of federal law in furtherance of political

or social agendas which are deemed to derive from bias often related to race held by the actor against others including a given population group now let's be clear this is not some kind of political statement by the f.b.i. it's actually based on the data that they have collected what they refer to as white identity extremists and black identity extremists are committing crimes in rising numbers here's what they said about some racially motivated violent extremists driven by a belief in the superiority of the white race and a perception that the us government is conspiring with jews and other minority populations to bring about the races demise of the racially motivated violent extremists use force or violence in violation of criminal law in response to perceived racism and injustice in american society or in an effort to establish a separate black homeland or autonomous black social institutions communities governing organizations within the us it's true that racially motivated violent

crimes have been increasing across the united states since 2015 this trend has continued in 2019 even though the overall crime rate in the city has surveyed has declined. if. you. look at.

the attack in el paso texas underscores the continued threat posed by domestic violent extremists and perpetrators of hate crimes we're talking about a wide spectrum of racially motivated incidents and yes white nationalism has no place in this country i can tell you the majority of people in this country from all walks of life all ethnicities and religions condemn white nationalism so the f.b.i. see somewhat of a spike if you will a growth if you will and people being radicalized through white nationalism but it is being addressed rather vigorously by the f.b.i.

and other intelligence agencies but we have to be careful in this country to make sure that the f.b.i. and other intelligence agencies do not become politicized unfortunately because of the political atmosphere we now see in the united states there has been the politicization of the f.b.i. and presently the new u.s. attorney general mr barr is addressing that as we speak. but a chilling must madrid rushes in yemen screech in a teenage boy has believed to have brutally killed 5 of his own family members before then committing suicide police discovered the bodies on sunday morning.

hope it's not such a total not that during the night he was sending his friend messages that he had already killed everyone and was going to the cell tower with the climate and is now just laying there under the tower. the day before we met he didn't say anything about his plans he was in a good rooms finally he said he needed to go home. to. move so we were studying in the same class he graduated from school with top models he had a perfect relationship with his family and his relationship with classmates and

friends was also good. nobody noticed anything bad about him he was participating in all these school contests and i was studying it very hard to know what you have in your little blue crush everything was fine in his family for his grandmother his mother helped him or for that at home he also codes every watched he was a guy and helpful got. a. lot of sideways to. fly from russia brokers who run the world to your tune to our to international thank you for your time today plenty more to come to other side of the break this. look at out there an american mother living in saudi arabia the king set to lose custody of a daughter she simply too western. join

me every thursday on the alex salmond shill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm sure business i'll see you there.

again an american mother living in saudi arabia said to lose custody of a 4 year old daughter after being told by a court that lifestyle simply to western is after her ex-husband a saudi national presented evidence to a court that she had an embrace to islamic values and therefore would be able to raise their child say there probably bethany via who's 32 years old moved to saudi arabia in 2011 to work as a university teacher she later married a saudi businessman with whom she had her daughter the couple then divorced last year and that's when things started getting complicated with vieira accusing him of verbal abuse and drug use a claim he denies then a saudi court ruled against her and the deadline for appeal expired yesterday the

mother is new to islam is a foreigner in this country and continues to definitively embrace the customs and traditions of her upbringing we must avoid exposing zarina to these customs and traditions especially at this early age a clash of cultures well we spoke to catherine shutdown a senior analyst at the alibi and think tank she explained to us why the case was lost by the american mother in her view. women to begin with in the kingdom do not have many rights just because and of course when it comes to custody cases it is very often that the husband has priority and is given everything whereas the woman is giving nothing and i think that in this case they are just using her nationality and the 5 she was raised in the west against her alleging that she has pulls an ethic and that she doesn't fit within the islamic school at least the version that saudi arabia holds obviously. over the saudi arabia has repeatedly been accused and

criticised of records on women's rights of other wagnerian lot of improvements in recent years to. it's very difficult to say you know whether the prince is actually really genuine in his desire for which was because they'll coming so clearly. or whether he's just some kind of a crystal meth to claim to try to you know it's richard riley or rollins public opinion you know in his favor as it was to truly trying to change what is going on

in his society and we have to admit and this is not even an opinion it's a fact that saudi arabia is running centuries behind everybody else when he calls to formulating what society is and how people relate to one another and the dynamics. in the kingdom women. because to get about 50 percent of society you cannot function as a state if you do not have to keep the creation the right to be to believe or even to choose for themselves. now the battle of climate change with warnings intensifying about the possibility of global climate catastrophe germany's green party looks to be enjoying a surge in support among some bush's environmental policies out is a pretty controversial plan to completely phase out domestic flights by overhauling the country's rail system instead but most germans on board peter all of our europe correspondent tries to gauge opinion. germany's green policies being in full bloom in the polls of late one of the most recent policies they put forward is

a railway revolution all trains on a hike to schedule moving at a cheaper price waste better while you fight it with the ultimate aim of making the internal flights in germany i think of the past in the next 50 years by trying to city 5 who want to make domestic flights largely obsolete it with all of that said to cost the states around $3000000000.00 euro i give up the rail passengers think of the proposal i definitely would support the policy i think i drive to take the plane more often at the train's 3 than the plane yeah if the whole network would have to be in a better condition going by train is really expensive and it's not very complicated if you're doing a lot of travelling like meat it's nearly impossible to cool the room to germany only 3 so. the moment there's no alternative forms of things because of his suv i'm

not a frequent flyer but in that case i would abstain from flying altogether. my last minute ticket from munich cost me 150 euro if i booked an advance it would have been cheap but if i booked for it it sounds it would have been a fraction of that cost everybody wants to see travel be quick and cheap bring them however how much of this plan is achievable and how much of it just for the headline. this would be a long way to go because it requires. investments in infrastructure and so far germany is struggling since years to complete the railway in structure projects to $21.00 which was supposed to make flights obsolete in the south of germany by allowing for fall. to rain kind of train connections between

paris and the end of. the broaddrick this delay to paris become twice as costly as the planned time so yes i ask myself how is it going to be put into practice. here we are in munich now that journey took just short to find a vowel is under the proposed plans all journeys would have to be completed within 4 and it's not just by lowering train phase that the hoping to get people to the plane and take the train it's also by raising f.a.'s quality of the plan is to put taxation on kerosene jet fuel on a level with taxation on petrol at $65.00 euro cents a liter currently depending on the length of the fly passengers will pay up to around 40 euro in taxes according to calculations from the german environment ministry increasing kerosene taxes could raise as much as 7000000000 euro are new really here at the wrong port in munich we found

a real mixed bag of opinions when it came to getting people off planes and on to trains. it takes them so i wouldn't want to travel a i was for so much that several hours i think it should be wise verse that should be better to invest in the infrastructure of the trains have better cycles. reliability better prices not going to take the train to bin laden where we're going now. 10 hours pay like yeah the same of going to kill he don't care isn't into consideration i think trains are better but not in terms of speed let us know but when the trains don't go away you need to the only option available is the com germany has the highest level of call rhona ship in the european union and the germans love affair with the automobile it's certainly not going away anytime soon peter all of a. r.t. unique. key if there were more basic infrastructure iraq's

ailing infrastructure the low levels of water and poor water management are causing tensions to soar in the asian city about for its residents say they're unable to access clean water as a result of last year alone $150000.00 people were poisoned we've put together a new documentary but it's called rivers a discourse is tipping off but this if you want to see it exploring the burgeoning crisis you find a whole program on our site. what are the 1. 100 the last. this is. the little. bit of you know what it might. mean but

surely. you think i'm. going to write my muffins. oh the similitude it's a. lot harder to. find . the entire base but they're using you for you to stumps the sewage into those 2 rivers you bring in the water. and nature heals herself. but mankind does not have the will to heal the city. has gone from bad to worse. while you rose a lucky when you got water stuff like that for seymour that chicken documentary

sells well to me don't go that's it for now my name's kevin 0 in thanks for watching us here mosco this monday the 19th of august to be day goes well and there may be a catch you get enough for next. in this community there are people who believe that it's ok this other action we don't like it's really hard there are no jobs and you see that i've got kids that ask and as a parent. i can come up with arguments and there's a lot of conflict within the game and between the teams close to the conflict i

would say throw balls around money and most of them money is made. close one on the children's cosimo each other is good business the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00 a year off to prison complex just to get some 20 alive where. you don't care and one of my hair is a monster so your hair might anything. grew . up.

sophie shevardnadze the oscar winning drama green book cast about racism in america back in the spotlight is this problem with think of the past or is it still an issue very much alive we'll ask kathleen alexander ramsey an award winning author and playwright who traveled across the united states collecting memories of the jim crow about. half a century after the victories of the civil rights movement. still the problem crime is on the rise but trump's controversial presidency will civil rights groups find fresh campaigns against racial hatred in america. and

can racism truly be rooted out from the united states. callaway now xander ramsey award winning writer and playwright welcome to the show it's really great to have you with us today mr ramsey now you have been digging into the green book for a long time the travel guide for african-americans during the james crow laws that help them avoid painful discrimination. segregated south jim crowd may be a thing of the past but for instance film director spike lee believes racism is ingrained in the day of the united states days think it will ever be overcome completely. well it's going to take a long time because you know with the development of the i guess the you know the country with the native americans and with the you know the the many many years of.
