zero. zero i'm richelle carey this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes we need to have this administration stop calling our allies adversaries and trying to treat our adversaries like friends calls to cancel donald trump's meeting next week of blood near putin after twelve russians are charged for hacking the two thousand and sixteen election. and u.s. presidents turn about praise for theresa may soft bricks of plan hours after snubbing it during his controversial u.k. visit plus. over one hundred killed in two suicide attacks on election meetings in pakistan on

a day the former prime minister nawaz sharif courts arrest in a corruption case. and the u.n. narrowly votes to impose an arms embargo on south sudan is the future of the peace process hangs in the balance. of russian hackers have been indicted as part of the ongoing probe into potential collusion between the trunk campaign and russia in two thousand and sixteen presidential election the announcement has led to calls that the us president cancel its much anticipated meeting with vladimir putin next week sharma tonsil reports from washington d.c. . the deputy attorney general said the twelve alleged russian intelligence officers hacked into the clinton presidential campaign and disseminated stolen information the goal of the conspirators was to have an impact on the elections in addition the department of justice alleges state election boards were hacked and the details of five hundred thousand voters stolen among those subsequently in touch with what the

d.o.j. says was an online persona created by the russians to help spread the information was someone in touch with the trump campaign that person according to the indictment didn't seem very impressed with the information provided and there's no evidence of the person knew they were speaking to alleged russian spies there's not a geisha in this indictment that any american citizen committed a crime there's no allegation that the conspiracy changed the fuck out or affected any election result. that was seized upon by the trumpet ministration would release a statement that said today's charges include no allegations of knowing involvement by anyone on the campaign and new allegations that the alleged hacking affected the election result this is consistent with what we have been saying all along earlier in the day donald trump it said he would ask about the allegations and i don't think you'll have any gee i did it i did it you got me there will be a perry mason here i don't think but you never know what happens right but i will

absolutely firmly ask the question and the allegations or allegations possibly never to be proven the accused russians are highly unlikely to appear before a u.s. grand jury to defend themselves however some democrats say the summit should possibly be called off there should be no one on one meeting between this president and mr putin there needs to be other americans in the room secondly the president and his team are not willing to make the facts of this indictment a top priority of the meeting in helsinki and the summit should be cancelled but deputy attorney general suggested these indictments were to come as a surprise to all from as he took tea with the queen rode rosenstein said reefed the president earlier this week before his trip to europe she ever counts the al-jazeera washington. as a former u.s. associate deputy attorney general he joins us now from washington d.c. thank you so much so. the indictments say that one of the hackers and particular case of her was in regular communication with someone in the truck campaign does

that mean collusion. no it doesn't mean collusion if the trump campaigner and i think that probably is a reference to roger stone was unwitting in did not know over the internet with whom he was communicating but i do think a couple observations one the indictment really is and made against president putin nothing of this sort could have transpired without putin's affirmative approval remember he was head of the k.g.b. before he became president and nothing really of importance happens in russia at all without mr putin's approval these hands on so this basically is an unreal indictment against mr putin and it makes it very all at an awkward for mr trump to be speaking with mr putin and asking mr putin well do you agree or not agree with

my justice department who's indicted you for trying to interfere with the campaign and hoping to help hillary clinton the i mean help him rather than hillary clinton even if he didn't succeed and so in an unwitting way in my judgment what this particular indictment does with the optics it makes it impossible for mr trump to fire mr moeller because it will appear to everyone except the most dense that it appears that mr trump has something to hide with mr putin. all along let's just speak president trump has done a lot of things that you think surely he he wouldn't do because of what it implies that he has so obviously that that question still remains but the fact that he is still going to have this summit in light of what has happened what does that say to you and actually there is one particular. mosque moscow based rather foreign affairs analysts who said this that this decision to have this summit is

a victory for vladimir putin is it seen that way. no i don't think it's a victory for vladimir putin because just having a summit without any action really doesn't change the balance of forces or the jews' strategic nature of the relationship and despite all of the bomb bad little under the sec is actually going to say despite the bomb best. so for one moment i agree it may not necessarily technically change anything but the political capital that a u.s. president has even for the sake of appearances matters particularly even if you go back to the fact that he had a meeting with kim jong un so he is still conveying something by choosing to have a meeting with vladimir putin is he not well it's a convey something namely i think he likes to he likes to do things that surprises the press and calls attention to himself but i can guarantee you mr putin cares a lot more about nato troops in the baltic states building an anti-missile system

that he opposes having the united states impose sanctions because of the crimean and it's a sion in the incursion of the ukraine more than he does about having a t. in maybe winning a few points on the media ratings for the next three or four days and when it comes to substance in fact even though the media pays attention to the high optics of two leaders together it's really our military industrial counterterrorism complex that calls the tune on the ground on that score i don't see it really anything is really changed with regard to how we are confronting russia now as we were a week ago a month ago a year ago where there is fine thank you joining us from washington. donald trump says ties with the u.k. are at the highest level of special that's a quote just a day after stirring up controversy in an interview with the sun newspaper and he suggested london's clans for practice that were bad and that the u.k. should not expect a trade deal with the u.s.

but on friday he dismissed his own words as fake news jon hall has more from winsor . a day that ended for donald trump in the company of queen elizabeth the second had begun under a cloud of official british dismay at the u.s. president's comments in a newspaper interview for two countries that supposedly enjoy a special relationship this was no way to treat a friend donald trump a told the rightwing sun newspaper that the reason may's plan for leaving the european union was a bad one and that a trade deal between the u.s. and the u.k. was off the table he also said to reason may's nemesis boris johnson would make a great prime minister johnson resigned this week as foreign secretary overheard new breaks its strategy. and with that the pin was pulled on a diplomatic hand grenade looked like a deliberate attack on may's already fragile leadership and then a massive about turn in face to face meetings to resume a we're told had

a chance to explain her plans more fully to donald trump it must all have made sense once the bricks that process is concluded and perhaps the u.k. has left the e.u. i don't know what they're going to do but whatever you do is ok with me that's your decision whatever you're going to do is ok with us just make sure we can trade together that's all that matters if to resume a was relieved she didn't show it will be no limit to the possibility of us doing trade deals around the rest of the world once we leave the european union on the basis of the agreement that was made here at checkers in that i put forward to the european union and off the trumps went to meet the queen. by the time they arrived here at windsor castle for tea with the queen it seemed a whole few rory had a visiting u.s. president had gone from issuing unprecedented insults to a british prime minister to having it all swept away in

a little over twelve hours mr trump simply dismissed an official on the record british newspaper interview as fake news. not the tea with the queen wasn't itself a potential protocol mind field. but the band played on in the event appears to have passed without incident a big fan of the british monarch this perhaps the highlight of trump's visit so far for the queen who's met a dozen u.s. presidents the occasion perhaps less unforgettable join a whole al-jazeera windsor. picked the u.s. president as a baby for london as part of a massive protest against his visit tens of thousands of people demonstrated in the british capital our car has more on that. trumpet being told to avoid the center of the british capital because of this. crowds a so-called colorful of resistance marched against the world's most powerful leader

. a giant helium filled blimp of donald trump as a baby clutching a mobile phone. oh oh how many demonstrators believe he has an infant all grasp of politics they see him as a wrecking ball for race relations women's rights climate change and peace behind humor is a very serious message and that is. holding trump to account where highlighting the fact that his toxic hate fuels politics and his policies that having a devastating impact on people not just in the u.s. . but in the u.k. and all over the well especially in the global south. as pranks that looms many also fear the british government will full british values in the interests of u.s. trade deals maybe even. go to the american people about president

trump right on this missile journey his contempt for democracies embrace and to take on these incredibly low volume allegedly did not find them all out i think that she found people yeah about. here today because i am deeply concerned about the direction of the united states and i opposed to trump's racism his homophobia as long. as i want him out of office i've joined protests in the states and i happened to be here today so i want to join and show that he does not represent us really. this isn't the first controversial leaders of his a force is the first. protests but they've really hasn't been anything quite like this is very much a response to donald trump's unique and arguably develops to politics people here in the u.k. also questioning the health and the nature of the so-called special relationship

between the u.s. and the u.k. people here wondering whether it's time to review that relationship now that donald trump's in the white house. few more vocally than the mayor of london who sanctioned the monch the blame one of the things that americans love our city all the rights we have here the right to protest the right to free speech the right to freedom of assembly and the idea that we would tell those rights because it may cause offense to president trump or somebody else i think americans would find objectionable why because their own constitution has been trying to the rights of freedom of speech freedom to protest freedom to assembly. the president trumps visit has been carefully choreographed to avoid his opponents choosing to fly around southern england by helicopter rather than risk of road journey they like me a lot of the u.k. said before his visit these people beg to differ. leave. london

. professor of law in government and turn university he joins us via skype from durham in the u.k. we appreciate your time very much so donald trump is leaving this particular visit with the u.s. ally that it still seem to be contentious and he's going from there to meet with the russian president and the u.k. believes that russia is responsible for poisoning people on their soil does that say something if it if anything. well it doesn't say much that's positive he's doing this of course britain has been very keen to try to create a kind of multinational opposition to to russia they're going to hold russia account as the government does poor blames the government for this is attack on british soil donald trump has made clear that the americans will not be opposing any sanctions on russia to this clearly perfectly fine with meeting with putin and

talking to him about other matters i would imagine they might have something to do with the minutes that were just announced today perhaps so that donald trump has been critical of allies he has said things said about theresa may in the u.k. over the past year and obviously he said these things on the record with the sun a lot of criticisms of of her she has not responded to everything the she did make a point in this press conference yesterday and drawing a distinction between what donald trump thinks about immigration and what she thinks about immigration why do you think that is. well i think she's trying to draw a kind of line between herself and him donald trump is unpopular with about seventy seven percent of the british public and he ended the press conference for the day noting that his views on it you know that he said he was popular with the british public because they had agreed with him on immigration that immigration was the one

thing but they all were with him on this so she's trying to say this is not really true i don't think she's got much of a leg to stand on here well the prime minister is not trying to have any kind of wall built and not separating children in cages from adults as we saw some terrible scenes recently united states there is separation of children from the parents coming here is silent seekers other are there has of this what's we call the hostile environment that she's created which is this kind of. probably unexpected result of actually deporting british citizens who came over in the in the winbush generation over fifty years ago so i think that is she's trying to draw a line that she's not like and she's different and have some kind of space between the two of the given how toxic donald trump is the british public of course what she doesn't want to draw too. strong a line between the course because she wants to woo trump for that precious u.s.

u.k. trade deal so i'm sure he's hedging if it won't happen under a deal so what is that and what does a u.s. u.k. trade deal actually look like am in light of how this is been really tense and has it been a lot of fact that bracks it hasn't even been worked out. well i personally find it incredible that the prime minister thought there was going to be a deal at all and that so much has been penned by her she was the first foreign leader to meet double trump when he was elected to the white house she you know offered right away a visit to meet the queen much earlier and trump's term to be given to it paula either bush president or to reagan or others clearly really put a lot on the u.s. u.k. trade deal and that the u.k. getting federal terms what i find it credible that she would do this is because you got a president to use mother was america first base believes that america's giving too

much of its wealth abroad he claims he's the world's greatest deal maker i'm sure he is not but said but he's put you know he has a lot of personal stock in being able to get great deals for america and he wants to put those first united states as a trade deficit with the u.k. it's impossible to me to see him agreeing a deal that is going to enrich the u.k. more at the expense of the united states so i think that the kind of deal better deal terms for the u.k. the theresa may was banking everything on was just so redline the trip was never going to cross anyway and it seems that this very controversial president who enjoys controversy has certainly created an awful lot of that right now saying that you know she wasn't taking his advice on bracks it that the deal it was impossible to strike of the terms as she had and that what she wanted what she was not going to get so a lot still remains to be thin tom writes i appreciate your insight very much thank you pleasure. plenty more ahead in the news hour and clearing a senior u.s.

before the u.s. president landed in scotland up press recap or not far away from here and in friday morning in fact the scotsman newspaper published a searing editorial calling the u.s. president a racist a serial liar and either a sexual abuser or someone who falsely brags about being one and those are things which a lot of the crowd here would agree with they've also highlighted his anti migrant rhetoric and something that's got a lot of them very angry is the recent policy of separating migrant children from their parents on the us mexico border and i am from the states originally. so just this this is been a really big run that's really kind of broken me in recent days they take it take. the children and just maybe just a feel safe really just going as a point to take up and she just said we don't we don't stand with you on any of your policies you're not you're not welcome in this country you know you know

democratic and we believe climate change is happening and we need to do what together those raising it from a state visit to a known state visit was no enough simply a symbolic gesture now on saturday there's a very big demonstration planned in the scottish capital edinburgh a con of all of resistance all sorts of groups gathering to register their protest against the u.s. president but he won't be anywhere near that we're expecting him to be playing golf or he's turned very private resort some protesters might head they've been denied permission to fly the baby blimp the balloon of the president has a baby above the skies near the gulf coast but it could still put an appearance somewhere else israeli soldiers have shot at a fifteen year old palestinian boy at the casa border thirty others have been injured in the latest friday protest one hundred thirty seven palestinians have now been killed in the past three months along the fence with israel or spent this apic

on say israel border. so the broader protests continue despite israel's decision to close the carom abu salim crossing off the main crossing for industrial goods into gaza israel did he said because he wanted the protests is to stop sending over in same three burning balloons they float over the border and they end up in some israeli feel some such in fire to israeli crops israeli snipers have been trying to shoot them out of the skies of the balloons are still going over today but they've not been having much success the israeli snipers and in the meanwhile officials from hamas and other groups in gaza have been in cairo for talks with egyptian security officials hamas said those talks are some of the most successful they've had with the egyptians addressing the humanitarian concerns in gaza don't give any more details and not though another group islamic jihad it says that egypt has agreed to increase electricity supply into gaza and that egypt will also keep the rough a crossing open for the super foreseeable future that's the main crossing between

egypt and gaza by the wife on really the people in gaza trying to leave haiti's prime minister jacques lacan ta is facing a vote of no confidence in parliament despite abandoning a policy to double fuel prices the i.m.f. plan for haiti to cut subsidies in return for assistance for days of demonstrations last week the government backed down and the i.m.f. now wants more gradual cuts or bayless on joins us from the haitian capital port au prince so where do things stand with the the protests have they flared up again is there potential that they might gain. there certainly is potential anything's possible in haiti especially right now with this deep political crisis that's engulfing the country i can tell you it's a little after seven thirty pm here local time and there was real worry throughout the day to if there were protests here but so far i can tell you that those have not really materialized like a lot of people had really worried about although they're really still. it is

a. comb on the streets but there's a tense calm i would say because there were a lot of people that left work early a lot of people that were off the roads a lot of people trying to get home before the night before the sun set basically there's this real worry would be with this political crisis people are very upset people are mad quite frankly at the prime minister a lot a lot of people and with the opposition calling for protests there was really a deep worried by so many people in this country that it could have reverted back to what we saw last weekend opposition is calling potentially for more protests on saturday though so this is going to be probably a pretty tense weekend here in the capital of haiti port au prince i'm in particular tomorrow when parliament is going to have a vote potentially no confidence for the prime minister is there still that the potential for al store even though he has backed off of the policies.

yeah yeah his future the prime the prime minister lawful time is very uncertain at this point there's a lot of pressure on him to step down pressure from the business community also from the poor in this country as well a lot of pressure so far he's been defiant. but he does plan to step down at the parliamentarian vote on saturday morning that's planned would be key because if it is a no confidence vote that potentially could be the quote unquote the last. it is him out of office who will say that this is now a lot of pressure on the president as well juvenile luis he's the president and we interviewed his spokesperson earlier on friday the spokesperson said listen the president still believes in the prime minister still respects the prime minister but the president is certainly weighing all the options in case he feels he needs to intervene to steak some. serious and difficult action and what that would be we don't know but the bottom line is the president at least for now still standing by

the prime minister but the vote in parliament on saturday could be key there's going to be a lot of events happening here in haiti over the weekend particular here in the capital port au prince the future of this government of the prime minister will be decided probably in the next twenty four to forty eight hours to see if he can weather this storm let's remember the prime minister's never held public office before he's only been in power for seventeen months and he's facing the political crisis of his life without a doubt right there allison to live for us in port au prince thank you. jaren officials say the body says several victims are yet to be recovered from areas recently attacked by gunman so far forty people have been buried in the northwest of the country following attacks on four villages since two thousand and fourteen bandits have been demanding money from the villagers with the government unable to stop them many more from candy. thousands of people are displaced year and more are still coming days after gunmen invaded the religious. was in the bush useful four

days before reaching the safety of this camp is true brothers didn't make it there was shut down as they run to it's the street. ok and i'm going to put i want to hit about you know those who escaped jumped into the river with six other attackers went on the bank they kept shooting at you in the river eventually i was the only one survived and when it was but even here that if you just fear the attackers who they say are only some twenty kilometers away. the religious say for two years the gunmen have terrorized and forced them to pay levies to cultivate their crops. they started by stealing more than two hundred cattle some years ago they demanded money for us to get the animals back we paid but they didn't release the cattle they asked for tens of thousands of dollars yet they won't give us any peace. we tried to get to the scene of the worst attacks but were turned back by security forces demanded village is about ten fifteen minutes from here we're being warned

time for sport with tara thanks very much south africa's kevin anderson overpowered american john is star in the longest ever single semi final at wimbledon the thirty

two year old beat is now in twenty six twenty four in the fifth set to reach his first ever final at the all england club the marathon match lasted six hours and thirty six minutes anderson is the first south african man to reach the wimbledon final in ninety seven years while because that match went on for so long there wasn't enough time to conclude the other semifinal rafa nadal and novak jock which will have to finish their game on saturday jock which leads to sets to one just ten months after a complicated childbirths arena williams will try and reclaim her women's hurdle on saturday the thirty six year old american will be going for a record equalling twenty four grand slam title she'll face a tough challenge though from germany's actually kerber in that final earlier we spoke to former professional tennis player turned commentator sophie me actually says well humans performance at this tournament is one of the best in her career. i think that it's not only the fact that she went through you know having

a child but it's also due way that she had to go through that experience i mean she was so ill and sick and for her when she mentioned that she had trouble going to a mailbox was was the least you know of saying of how bad it was to have are now in the final of wimbledon against carbo which is a repeat of the two thousand and sixteen final is absolutely incredible i think anybody you would have you know thought about it we don't would have said yes she can come back but to that level today and she's playing incredible tennis in that final in two thousand and sixteen was all about the serve of serino williams and if she's able to do and repeat what she did she was never broken in that final she faced one breakpoint at three on the second set against her and on that break point guess what she did and and then after that backed it up with another a deuce to hold her serve at who are three and eventually winning the match in two sets of foot cargo it's going to be all about being able to return that serve to ourself raise

a level even more i mean she's been tested much more than the story now probably draw the tournament so far as far as syria is concerned she is the greatest of all time and you can count on today and tomorrow story being one of the best final for her and. i think her presence shanahan franti now says the world cup in russia has been the best ever and he's promising a special final when france take on croatia on sunday. he wasn't going to be here she was going to be a single russian. but it's also a. little. bit. like.

just it's cool if your viewers. coach. says the best two teams have made it through to sunday's final but he admits it will be the hardest game his side has ever played he. says i would take me to unite if you go to nick i think france have shown different styles of playing against belgium in iraq they went up and they could defend in a defensive block and they were very dangerous in counter attacks and in cost transitions and this is what we have to be very cautious about it's not going to be easy to defend against counter attacks and fast transitions particularly with back pay and griezmann who are really fast and dangerous. while much is expected french forward line and juan greaseman billie's france's chances could hinge on something else. we are able to win it but it's going to depend on details

we have to be ready for that but considering our game i think the defense is the most important thing because we know that up front we can score goals any time it can happen with killian about the with the move from the wing with the live from across or even with me with a little bit of inspiration i have some time i do think however that the defense is our base belgium in england are making their final preparations for the world cup match nobody ever wants to be involved in the play off for third and fourth the belgians got the better of england one no when they met in the group stage a win on saturday will give them their best ever results at a world cup although the players admit it's a difficult game to play. as if we really disappointed which is normal we wanted to reach the final we wanted to go all the way to the end and that's why we so disappointed about losing against france but i think we have a last goal left which is to leave russia with our heads held high and that can be

achieved if we base angle and get third place i'm sure they're on the pitch to be very focused and very committed in order to win this match cats are twenty twenty two organizers say they are preparing to host a thirty two team world cup but could expand the finals to include forty eight countries if a study concludes it's possible and he richardson has been talking to katter twenty twenty two is assistant secretary general. decided that it's a good idea to include forty eight teams in the world cup study from twenty twenty six so they believe that there is a merit in it come about have put the proposal forward for one reason or the other they must feel that it's beneficial for south american football confederation so i'm not frustrated as much as i feel that we need to basically be careful and look at the feasibility of understand what the implications are before any decision is taken and we you know we were glad that first taken the decision to wait until the fuse of both the studies done but right now you're preparing for thirty two teams

well not all are preparations since they won't have been for thirty two team world cup and they continue to be for thirty two team world cup talking to the locals here they said the police have had a kind of an unusually liberal approach to sort of looking after the world cup fans they perhaps sort of let people drink on the streets congregate on the streets in a white that normally wouldn't happen. a similar policy taking place and cats aren't for us but i think when a country is hosting a huge event it's an unusual circumstance and you can't compare it to the usual day to day life in any given country now as long as laws are. not broken as long as people are abiding to acceptable norms i think we won't have any issues i think a lot of people change that perceptions about russia jihad perhaps preconceptions people have about cats are in the middle east will change when it comes to well well if there are people out there who have misconceptions i'm sure that when they

visit qatar for the first time they'll change their their minds and. there's a lot of people that have visited the middle east so know what the middle east is about for us it's important is that it's very intimate that football is celebrated cultural cultures are celebrated our similarities and our differences are are celebrated and that people just have a really good time and people learn something. than adam and apple does overall eat and they try to. friday the belgian now leads by six seconds over john thomas despite both finishing stage seven with the same time stage was won by delimit crew begun the dutch rider coming out on top in a sprint finish. and that's all your sport for now more later and that is all of the news hour for now but we have plenty more to come on al-jazeera so keep it here stuck here thanks for your time.
