let me. go now to 6. thank. you crazy i'm from baltimore where. the french leader speaks out over quote tension and conflict within the ranks of the g. 7. summit in the luxury resort of beer its. radical new rules and force a google with the tech titan telling employees not to engage in political debate at work. family of a british sudanese man who's been languishing in jail in sudan without charge for more than $100.00 days as they put it to the british foreign office is disappointing response.
4:01 pm
why from moscow this is international restraining in this money welcome to the program when i'm calling is where we're starting off this hour for you the french president has opened up about an air of tension and conflict heading into the g. 7 summit which is now wrapped up emmanuelle mccrone earlier how the joint news conference with donald trump in southwest france where the 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 we've 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 stated that the leaders only managed to agree on
4:02 pm
a one page declaration from the summit. next takes a closer look at what might have been the document it was going to 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 wrong of course the u.s. and the door will trump famously pulled out of the iranian nuclear deal just over a year ago because donald trump said it just wasn't a good enough deal since then president has tried to sort of be the go between
4:03 pm
between iran and the united states and meanwhile the united states has placed sanctions on iran there's been these growing tensions in the persian gulf and the president might call an ace up his sleeve at this summit he pilled 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 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 forego its commitments to that nuclear accord now president trump on the other hand would he be in agreement to meet president rouhani he didn't seem to be that certain that this would be going
4:04 pm
ahead and the 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 he's due to meet with the chinese delegation later this week to discuss that trade war he says that they're looking for a deal but he also had said during this summit that is only regretted not tradeable so far is that he hasn't put high enough tariffs on china and. then there was the the 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 he'd been supported apparently by the italian prime minister but not the other leaders who are all in disagreement again at the press conference today don't
4:05 pm
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. doesn't exist anymore how can i return to an organization which doesn't exist today it's the g 7 regarding a potential format with 8 member states we never reject any proposals some time ago it was russia's turn to hold a g. 8 meeting but our partners didn't 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.
4:06 pm
had previously accuse france of double taxation which sort of goes against the rules and principle of tax france it said it was absolutely necessary because the big companies like google like amazon like facebook and apple were not paying enough tax it seems that there has been an agreement between the 2 countries and france looks like it's now going to grow back and not proceed with that so-called gaffe attacks and that's probably a good thing because president trump had threatened that he would put huge tariffs on french wine he's also previously said that he doesn't think french wine is very good but perhaps it's 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 that's right we do know is chummy in front of the camera today but still so many disagreements not just between presidents trump amok all but also the other leaders of the g. 7 nations. joining us live now dr william mallinson former british diplomat and
4:07 pm
author of the threats of geopolitics talked about so welcome back to our we heard the president there with lots of tension and of disagreements not exactly unusual of things like the g.'s. to provide any tangible results before but what was expected this time round. i don't think anybody knew what precisely was expected because if you go back and look at the origins of the g 7 it began at about the same time as the trilateral commission as a century a cold war western body and then transmogrified of course was the fall of the berlin wall into something that you know was going to welcome russia in which it did. then the whole thing changed again as the world was becoming new all of a multi-polar and what we now see i think is the beginnings of what i would call a hetero arche. different strong points in the world interrelated but
4:08 pm
it is whole thing is related and especially in the g. 7 context by a mass of contradictions let's remember 1st that the g 20 is far more important and has from the cloud because it represents most of the world. the contradictions for example you have a president from apparently inviting russia in and then there is a as an observer we say never accept and at the same time trying to keep russia out of the. out of the way it's deal with germany you can through the gas pipeline and all screaming so it's a massive contradiction because then you get italy despite the fact that its government is in apparent limbo supporting the idea of russia coming back. then you get behind the scenes boris johnson boris is a bit of a shallow shallow politician i have to say. we the special relationship.
4:09 pm
secretly trying to keep you were away from russia they're terribly worried about a european army that was hardly discussed of course except perhaps back states so there's a whole mass of agreements and mainly disagreements behind the scene and they're trying to paper over the cracks with friendly tweets or tweets as i call them and making a few agreements such as paying whatever it is 22000000 to help the problem in brazil with the flyers and everything and then you have iran coming in you see what i wanted to ask you about the visit of the iranian foreign minister their thought was going to be president mccracken's show stopper in this if it was going to in any way bridge any gap between tehran and washington and that is one massive best try a bridge there did it really get anywhere because it was barely any optimism from the iranian delegation when they left beirut the other night. it was very clever in
4:10 pm
terms of asserting french independence and showing i think united states you can't have everything in its own way it also reflects a genuine european concern about the need the fact that america unilaterally pulled out of the deal would you be so hard with iran i think it also shows that behind the scenes the whole thing was never really about nuclear weapons it was about the physical. military power or iran and its ballistic missile arms which is the real agenda. and of course bush was forced almost to simply make a nice noise about saying yes would be nice to meet rouhani etc but so even if it wasn't i think a good idea of what what my friend gave because it showed at least that france can can do something and that while the americans are there. and president trump has said and said when the time is right there will be some sort of meeting but as we
4:11 pm
know that can change hour by hour and 20 by 20 but for now dr william i really appreciate your time on r.t. the saving thank you very well globalist will buy the. 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 or work the decision marks the culmination of several years of intense scrutiny over its policies both internal and external and 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 what's fueling concerns zina phobia hatred and a desire for answers that may or may not be there what we all need right now is google's 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
4:12 pm
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 we've each been hired to do not to spend working time on debates about no one topics companies 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 google's earned quite the reputation. on top of that recent leaks by google employees sparked accusations of widespread
4:13 pm
political bias in the company from manipulating search algorithms to fit a liberal agenda i see google executives go to congress and say that it's not going to be late it is not political and i'm just so sure that's not true to punishing those who oppose the company's 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're specifically at targeting political speech now that i've not really seen and that it's just tremendous concern because what they're really doing here when
4:14 pm
they're trying to suppress political speech by employees they're really trying to suppress political speech by conservative employees leakers the whistleblowers so far have come forward have been conservative employees that's what's 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 you'll find that they're probably doing much more extreme sayings to try to get their employees under control then we're aware of i don't think it'll work i think it will backfire. you know without say a series of alleged israeli military strikes over 3 days in 3 middle eastern countries we've got the reaction to those so far after the break.
4:15 pm
you know world big partisan movies lot and conspiracies it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. seem wrong but. just don't. get to see palin. as a kid and engage with equals betrayal. when something find
4:16 pm
themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. elegant lebanese leaders have slammed a series of alleged israeli strikes that hit targets in lebanon on sunday and earlier this monday. will tap into the declaration a war that allows us to defend so sober and independence and through to rule into a group calling to report a ton of evil ones to 3 a strikes on a palestinian paramilitary group based in the east of lebanon while on sunday 2 drones believed to be israeli crashdown in beirut and at buildings being used by the iran backed hezbollah posse it's believed when i fatalities in one incident
4:17 pm
that 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 and rein in military advisers prime minister benjamin netanyahu said action was taken to thwart an imminent attack we had from regional experts on what's behind tel aviv and respective strategies. iran is trying to envelope israel from all of the sides through which is effectively iran through syria through iraq and even through gaza it's like a big octopus sending its arms in order to strangle israel 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 tear around the world we would have no issue with iran however iran has decided. to build forces in to strangle
4:18 pm
israel but we're not going to wait with defense systems you don't win by playing defense you have to preempt and that's what we will do the problem you have is very loose like this oil brach over the world. and because no one no one calls it to account it's allowed to get away with essentially murder. it's targeted 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 this situation at the end of the day israel needs to understand that iran has said this time and time again that look you're playing with fire don't do this don't be silly behave yourself iran has no real interest in starting a war and iran will not start a war it's a long and i have said it categorically however what iran will do if it is attacked or its allies within the resistance axis are directly attacked they will retaliate
4:19 pm
and rightly so because in this case the aggressor the one who's instigating problems who's lying and making up fairy stories because it's control and influence within the mainstream media is israel and everyone knows israel is a rogue state it's a country that is close to 400 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 it constantly gets accused of making nuclear weapons and all this stuff which is slightly from the supreme leader's own discreet discourse is forbidden. the family of a british a sudanese man he's been held for more than 3 months in a sudanese prison have strongly condemned what they called the government's disappointing lack of action that was imprisoned in the eof the criticizing on social media the african nations transitional military council but was later cleared by prosecutors of any wrongdoing saskia ted had the chance to speak to one
4:20 pm
of mr daughters about his continuing to tension. 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 i've come to liverpool where one of kamala's daughters lives she tells me her father's story and anger at the british government for its failure to take action in protecting one of its own citizens were extremely worried obviously it's been 3 months now we're 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 hasn't 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
4:21 pm
outside world they don't have access to telephone calls we've tried to send in newspapers he's not allowed access to newspapers. he's 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 me to step in and secure his freedom the embassy in khartoum haven't actually had direct contact with my father we as a family have been in contact with them updating them on my father's condition unfortunately they've had very little input so our only contact with the foreign office has been through our m.p. . and they've been very slow to respond their responses have been very disappointing i think it's very shameful it reflects very badly on the british government. whether you're a jewel national or british national if there's injustice happening then you need
4:22 pm
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 it's obvious this is a human rights violation and i would call upon human you know international human rights organizations to get involved in my father's case i think that does need to be more attention on this to pressurize the british government into taking action against unjust attention i'm all the 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 apart and being detained aboard without trial as as un others like take matters into their own hands one can also the
4:23 pm
question is do you take government doing all it can to secure the wealth that human rights of all its citizens sask taylor all team liverpool all there is from the british foreign office on this is that it stated that it is in contact with the sudanese authorities concerning come out of marriage detention and we'll keep on top of that and if we do hear anything else from the family of the foreign office we will of course let you know. thanks very much for watching that scene from the moscow newsroom for now we'll have your next update in just over 37 minutes from now so you know.
4:24 pm

4:25 pm
i'm one of them but i think. ended up getting one when there's a real body. they both plot on the same product one of them one idea should have been missed. i don't want that i think or i can just i mean yes i knew she needed that kind of community yeah. it's kinda any kind of chicken bad she's going to be made to move out of one of the men that you know enough i don't come for i don't know. you know world of big. law and conspiracies it's time to wake up
4:26 pm
to dig deeper to get the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell mourn. never we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. legs.
