Had a discussion we had a great actually we had a great discussion president that was really a tremendous discussion and a last ditch attempt to save the nuclear deal european signatories launch a new Payment System to u. S. Sanctions on the islamic republic. With the top stories from the past 7 days on right up to the moment of elements well this is the weekly in our international my names union oneill our top story President Trump has made history becoming the 1st sitting u. S. Leader to enter north korea he briefly stepped across the border while meeting the north leader kim jong il in for an impromptu many summit between the per. Didnt confirm the meeting would actually happen until the last moment but meet they did the leaders shaking hands or crossed the border of the korean Demilitarized Zone one of the most heavily fortified borders in. World kim said he will surprised that Donald Trumps offer to get together was announced on twitter before outing the american president s visit was a great sign of willingness for relations to improve trump himself described it as a grow taller. Since my honor. I didnt really expect to be repaired at the g 20 we came over to take over here i want to hold him and we got to meet and step think of course that was agreed on a lot of credit. To the president has just walked across the demarcation line that made him the 1st u. S. President to visit our country i believe just looking at this action this is an expression of his willingness to eliminate all the unfortunate past and open a new future. Earlier i discussed the meeting can solve it with our Senior Correspondent steve. Trump said to himself the speed is no longer for the essence theyre now talking about progress rather than speed so in that vein theyve now come up with working groups negotiation groups from the north korea from the United States they can get together and they try to find common areas whether they agree theyre going to start meeting in 2 or 3 weeks so well see if progress comes from that but of course sanctions sanctions are the thing that really everything theyre saying on memory or something or look im looking forward to taking more i dont like sanctions but you know and its country im looking forward but the sanctions remain useful but at some point during the negotiation things can happen and thats what well be talking about it is exactly because of sanctions that the last meeting between the 2 leaders north Korean Leader. Trump that it came to nothing talks ended 2 hours early and afterwards this is politically quite depressing because there was this completely nothing that came out of that. As for north korea they have got the coup of getting a sitting u. S. President on to their land the 1st ever time what else what do they want to hear well donald trump said the North Koreans want to do sanctions to be lifted the completely and he said that theres theres no way that that is going to happen and now the north Korean ForeignForeign Affairs minister came out and said no we are asked that we asked for sanctions to be lifted partially and that the United States demanded something extra. To denuclearization to to go ahead and begin lifting sanctions which he said is unacceptable this is a manifestation of the most extreme hostile acts by the United States all these speak clearly to the fact that the world dream of the United States to bring us to our knees by means of sanctions and pressure has not changed at all but grows even more undisguised the u. S. Senate and thursday passed a bill that would allow for the strengthening of sanctions with the with regards to north korea soon so you know there is a trust issues well sanctions is the issue that this is the overriding theme is that is there any sense do we have an idea when they may be lifted or otherwise they are looking for concrete details concrete achievements before they begin lifting sanctions and they want them verified but again its going to take time so denuclearization efforts progress to be put in place and then verified by the United States will then take but as i said trust big issue that we dont expect. To of the truth thats where were going to verify any denuclearization that takes place thats why we will ensure that we see actual on the ground on the ground outcomes were not going to take anyones word for it this is going to take time and a lot of effort and they need to keep talking. All right always good to welcome john whites on to the program johns a political commentator and journalist and speaks today live from edinburgh hi there john donald trump kim jong un met what do you think was top of the agenda for both leaders with the on president in kind. Oh well less eating at this historic event may have given trump is more necessary than we were in history clearly craves i dont think it does much to reveal the suffering of the north Korean People and i think what youre seeing are is politics of gesture rather than substance the North Koreans will be mindful of it the believe they will accept after the singer fortunately began to dismantle some of the attached Nuclear Testing facilities in the senate to sink the selfies on the trim is that they would be acquitted who are running part of the from the americans in the form of the lifting of some of the sanctions North Koreans really thrown into their course and that was not the case in the tank sanctions would actually take it and to do so the North Koreans can afford to trust the gesture politics any farther weve got to some of us or sit in singapore just mention a treaty and the 2nd in vietnam in letitia and out of these incidents or come to think of come up to ground 0 thus far so the North Koreans will be mindful of that law so be mindful on a way the level of the way the americans are are going after their indians in the way theyve been advocating a regime change and actively openly agitating for the g. Regime change in venezuela and well actually you know cons of the ilk of john bolton are mental to your view by prominent positions in the trumper ministration trust is the key issue. Came john than he sings about the hunt chick in the demoted from his own symbolizes change thats thats a pretty hefty a lofty statement is it the case. Not this junk i dont think so the overseer conjunct has to see that because in these hes desperate to have these sanctions lifted the north Korean People are suffering in order harm in getting such great vision you know other people could probably judge and they have been over many years under Previous Administrations also to the u. S. Senate as he just has just asked a bill to take him to sanctions so the optics are very impressive on the simpson vote level its a very powerful gesture but we need to start seeing some substance from this administration because it had to see i want to shout of it whats in it and the real meaningful gestures towards a meaningful peace it seems to me that the americans under this administration are interested in a room in peace which does not involve the elevation of countries such as north korea that your position of parity but their complete subjugation in the interests of the u. S. Capitol what one interesting line from this john present company fight at the north Korean Leader to the u. S. Do you think that came would accept if he did what would the reaction in the u. S. Be. Olivia 190 peter cured from the liberal wing of the us Political Class its such an invitation and were already seeing that in the liberal press in the u. S. Very difficult for him to to to make that happen unless he sees the matter can see some meaningful steps on a north korean state to dismantle their Nuclear Program but the North Koreans would being seen to dismantle the Nuclear Program at this juncture given the reasons i just outlined got a delicate its not occurrence of moving toward syrians with and also its actions in its own hemisphere trying to effect regime change in venezuela the North Koreans are out there knocks against their will and they have a card to you and that is their Nuclear Program and the americans are desperate to see that dismantled because its a very heavy presence they have in south korea its a very heavy financial commitment and also we want north korea and and their counsel to speak and to away from the influence of china for one of their geo political and geo strategic reasons President Trump claims that previous u. S. Administrations were not to good for north or south korea we can just take a quick listen together. What was happening during our previously Previous Administration was very poor south korea and very very different or other of radically theres a lot of fear that is happening and its changed very very rapidly and its very positive a lot of positive things go right now. Will have things really changed under donald trump you said a few moments ago maybe the more hawkish elements of his a ministration maybe are put to the side and donald trump goes beyond john bolton on the like and goes and talks to beas leaders face to face is that something promising. Yes of course you know georgia was always going to the more wars was the churchill thing as they said but lets not forget who the author of this process of normal resolution was it was it said could be as good as the new g. N. P. To the source this was an organizational north and so what he held a meeting with the north Korean Leader that to the americans by surprise this would trump has jumped to this to the to the start of this issue because you destroyed it this was a process that he had to get involved with otherwise he would be seen as being obstructionist so its the south korean president reagan and who deserves all the credit for how this has developed thus far and its not that these 2 leaders are now speaking and certainly donald trump and kim jong un seato develop quite a good interview passionate relationship but substantially its very important to understand that tony sanchez begins if you look at the North Koreans do not trust any gestures on the part of dont put any member of his administration to especially with the lips of john bolton and it will be a not a not a ministration different ideological commitment to us are our john thanks for your time today weve been speaking to john white political commentator and journalist have a good rest of the weekend. Poesy efforts certainly coming to the fore this week lets just go through some of that moscow and washington there edging towards better relation it has been reported that is as president putin and trump agreed to hold a new arms control talks that occurring at the g 20 summit which wrapped up on saturday in japan. Was in osaka for us he takes us through about the other big developments as well. You may like it or not but the 20 year round table isnt the biggest summit attention grabber the reality is that everyone is keen to know what happens at the socalled buy a last and the one that the media was hungry for the most happened on friday the face to face between donald trump and Vladimir Putin one and a half hours behind closed doors or wait the journalists were there just for a little bit at the very beginning not to the delight of mr trump. And to a cleese trying to make american journalists leave him alone on one particular matter donald trump said this. Was. Going to bring a very. Soon after time after time the president s kept repeating how happy they war with how they got along the meeting was good and business we discussed a whole area of issues which are of interest to russia and the United States we spoke about their economic relations russia sees that american businesses are interested in developing better relations with russia we had a discussion we had a great actually we had a great discussion president putin most of it was really a tremendous discussion i can see trade going out with russia we could do fantastically well we do very little trade with russia which is ridiculous frankly so from now on the top diplomats of russia and america will be working together on a new framework for global arms control plus the administrations ago. To join afterwards to boost mutual tray and donald trump is considering coming to moscow in may next year he was invited there for the victory Day Celebrations another leader who got an invitation by the kremlin was emanuel macron and we found out here and saw mr mccraw and wont have a problem with saying hello when he comes to russia. So as you can see great vibes that that late night meeting to like when putin was with you case to resume a for the 1st time in 3 years london is said to remain cold war mode with moscow the good news though is those who were in panic mode because of us china trade wars can breathe with relief for now were going to continue the negotiation we agreed that i would not be putting tariffs on the 325000000000. 00 that i would have the ability to put it on if i wanted i have a tremendous relationship with president nobody else would have the deal that we were getting tens of billions of dollars from china coming in and deed donald trump xi Jinping Bilad worked its magic no new import tariffs for the time being and further talks to try and and the trade wars all together now everyone who is really making this planet spin angle maracle Shinzo Abi Mohamed bin. And aired on who by the way heard for the 1st time from donald trump that washington wasnt treating fairly sometimes got their fair share of headline making by a lats and we as journalists got. I noticed quite a few amusing moments here and. Yeah those pictures really tell a tale account they were going for a short. Vert sparks outrage in pakistan by challenging tradition of promoting gender equality we get into the. You know worlds big partners movie lot and conspiracy its time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that Mainstream Media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart 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 for watching closely watching the hawks. Make this manufactured to send to the public well. When the ruling classes protect themselves. In the final merry go round be the one percent. We can all middle of the room 6. Minutes past 3 pm here in moscow youre very welcome back the European Union has launched a new Payment System aimed at helping its firms bypass u. S. Sanctions all around brussels is that all those with washington after the u. S. Unilaterally ditched the 2015 landmark Nuclear Accord and reintroduce strict trade restrictions be sanctions busting tulis called the european financial settlement mechanism or as you might be ready to hear a lot more of in the future. Next washington threaten to sanction any country that buys all oil from iran to run responded by saying it will increase production of low enriched uranium to near weapons grade levels if it is not guarded from the u. S. Sanctions or Americas Campaign of pressure on to run does not end there irans foreign minister has accused donald trump of violating International Law with his threats to obliterate iran President Trump should remember that we dont live in the 18th century the United Nations tried to force. On tuesday mr trump to threaten iran with little ration if tehran attacks anything american when asked about the possibility of a war with iran the books that it would be a quick refer but i bet he doesnt want one. On friday the u. S. Sent more stealth fighters to the persian gulf increasing its military deployment there the president of iraq has spoken out against it he warned that he will not allow the u. S. To use his country to launch any kind of military action against neighboring countries. The american troops the Coalition Troops in iraq again at the invitation of the Iraqi Government put the specific exclusive mission of fighting isis we do not want to be a staging post foot any hostile action against any of on neighbors including iraq. The us secretary of state mike pompeo say said wont be done to anything do you noted states has dawned if war breaks out. Americas do everything it can to deescalate if there is conflict if there is war if there is a connecticut cuba because the arabians made that choice the pressure or the approach that the americans or their allies have had toward iran has impact that this behavior iran now we are in this collection more than the region as a result of the United States withdrawal from the nuclear deal and then followed by maximum pressure against tehran on the one side were seeing the americans talking about negotiation on the other hand theyre using military threats as well as economic war against the country this shows inconsistency as well as i think ambiguity in their policies because i think donald trump is enjoying advisors who have conflict viewpoints towards iran and other International Issues and this has caused this broad chaos to the white house in relation and is of iran the solution in the region needs cooperation and talks and diplomacy between different sides in the region this is the argument of iran. All right lets turn attention on the programmer to pakistan where a Washing Powder on verge has triggered a gender equality row in the country after consumer goods giant procter and gamble opted to show women taking on traditionally male roles. Well the advertisement has drummed up plenty of reaction including on social media with some people even calling on authorities to take action against the brand. Boy could ariel were muslim and we love our culture or religion and no rituals the government should take strict action against ariel brand and its my request to all my dear pakistanis that please boycott ariel assoon as possible because religion comes 1st and this is our responsibility to protect our religion boycotts ariel Prime Minister of pakistan we want ariel cloth washing detergents banned in pakistan immediately for driving and spreading anti islamic campaigns through media so whats your view on this well we asked a number of media commentators whether the deter dad was right to push the boundaries of social norms in pakistan. I dont think its a big u. S. Companies job to insert themselves into pakistani culture or if it was women speaking up against their own culture that would be one thing but i feel that its very wrong for a western company to come in and insert themselves in a culture that maybe isnt adapted the same way that American Culture has and a lot of these women it has been their position and their desire to see a change within their country their desire has been for women to have more rights to you know education to Financial StabilityFinancial Empowerment thats come from within the culture so for these women to be on the commercial simply gives them a platform to add enhanced their voice that theyve already been using this kirshner may set back that agenda this commercial may set back that initiative for these women this commercial may create children are you married at the age of would it be a gallon can it be i understand how much but were not sure brady and. It is an American Company in jail giving them said oh are willing to you know why why you came saying how i see any women i think theyre really pushing the envelope when theyre dealing with sharia law and just like i dont want sharia law to come here to america and take over my western American Values i dont necessarily think i think its very confrontational to go into a country that does have sharia and insert western values there has never in the history im just curious if youre an acknowledged value type of knowledge that without women in america who are willing to speak youre not going to acknowledge if we were in america in the 1928 if it were not about women sitting up there is not america up against not america if we were in america at its peak you would tell that it is not a marilyn to speak up against play very because it would put people at risk of being lynched.
