they have not found common grounds except that bit the president put it in for size which is the humanitarian bit i don't know if something secret happened but whatever came out of the press conference does not signal that they have arrived at strategic. agreement on the future of syria the future of assad the future of peace within syria and certainly the future of iran iran nuclear deal and iran's influence within syria i think certainly put it doesn't seem to have given any ground to president trump on that and i think we also heard from him before that meeting saying we don't exactly see eye to eye on iran now look on the question of crimea and so on so forth because i think that ended it's going to be ukraine for iran whether what you give me on an iran i'll give you back on crimea and so on and so forth but certainly on the question of ukraine and the question of who is responsible for the worsening of relations i think president trump streets is under

precedented in american history i think in world history when it comes to a leader been aiming his own system his own democracy his own government his own predecessor presidents to the war sitting of relations with a whole country like russia this is really unprecedented moment for the moment to thank you very much indeed for trump said it raised the question of whether russia had helped him to win the election in twenty sixteen something that trump and putin have repeatedly denied doing today is meeting i address directly with president putin the issue of russian interference in our elections i felt this was a message best delivered in person. spend a great deal of time talking about it. and president putin may very well want to address it. and very strongly because he feels very strongly about it and here's

a little sting idea. could you name a single fact that would definitively prove because. this is our nonsense. just like the president recently mentioned. let's talk to our diplomatic editor james bays who's in helsinki so in some ways there's a kind of a lot of a bit of joking about this issue but it's clearly quite serious but then there was this odd suggestion that putin had come up with some kind of formula for from from the what do you make of that whole discussion about the collusion and whether there was any or not. i am getting tired i'm afraid of these international news conferences by trade president trump and having to use the word amazing but that was amazing if you were looking to the two big leaders of the two most powerful countries on earth to solve any of the world's problems then i don't think you are going to find any solutions but with regard to the most toxic issue in the us

politics it just got even more controversial with president trump there pretty much going on all the way with president putin's narrative and then saying that president putin had no idea later he said it was an incredible offer by president putin the office seems to be number one to use a ninety ninety nine act a criminal cooperation act when the u.s. and russia under that russian investigators would investigate those russians who were accused of hacking but of course the intelligence agencies of the u.s. say that those who have these indictments from the special counsel robert mueller were acting on behalf of the russian state so effectively you would get the criminal investigating the crime but president putin had yet another offer and that was he could start a joint investigation with robert miller's team and he said that they could investigate those twelve who had been indicted so could send people to work with

the russian authorities to investigate those indictees but he said there was a good dish in the condition was that that joint team would also have to go to the u.s. so you have russian officers going to the u.s. investigating the election interference and interviewing u.s. officials who president putin said he didn't believe president trump was then asked very firmly to say do you believe president putin or your own intelligence agencies and instead of asking the answering the question he went on a long. talk. about hillary clinton's serve why they haven't found the hillary clinton server a completely different subject and also in this news conference he again said that he easily what beat hillary clinton and said that the electoral college is actually easy or should have been easier for hillary clinton getting an election trying to

argue about his legitimacy twenty two months on. in the end what why where does this leave trump with this at this issue that it doesn't it doesn't go away and he keeps being asked about it and as you say they're putting coming up with this idea that they would then in return send people to question u.s. officials who they suspect of illegal acts against russia it does all sound like a like a diversion doesn't it and that that somehow trump has sort of got caught up in the putin trap maybe. yes i think that's quite possible and i think anyone who has any doubts that president trump is not tough enough on president putin will now cite countless instances from this news conference not just with regards to the collusion issue it's interesting that one point he said i believe and have a desire for peace and i can speak on behalf of russia about my desire for peace well let's just think about the timing of these words we're just hours away from

the fourth anniversary of m.h. seventeen being downs now a criminal investigation an air crash investigation u.s. intelligence of all concluded it was brought down by the russians by a russian missile killing two hundred eighty two hundred two hundred ninety eight people that was a russian operation the man he's standing next to saying he could speak on behalf of that he has a desire for peace. or one one more issue that the fact the kind of the big issues like have been going to iran or that the situation in syria in the end i mean they have it hasn't been resolved in the past with diplomacy kind of old style diplomacy so is it possible that it's kind of odd friendship where they agree to kind of park their differences on various subjects do you think that is possible that it could be productive that they could come up with some new way of solving some of these things in this way. well they didn't come up with any new formula and they seem i think apart their differences and focused on their own parts of those particular

problems trump certainly talking about iran saying that they would work together to try and help the interests of israel no i think that means keeping the iranians away from the israeli border in syria but no real suggestion that there is any sort of new common plan on any of these issues which could save thousands of lives and do you think that we're seeing a repeat now is essentially of a big set piece meeting in a way that was with the north korean leader and actually in the end not a huge amount comes out of it well that we are i think it's pretty similar you don't even have any sort of written declaration here we were told there would be no deliverables i don't think there has been anything delivered other than a huge fresh domestic political storm over this whole issue of russia's involvement in the election president truck was very clear on this issue and he

agreed with president putin the fact he did that i'm not sure that helps him james bays thank you very much indeed live there in how to convince our diplomats that. france is winning football is a just arrived home for the world cup in russia with a huge reception awaiting them in the capital paris. these are the scenes on the show as well as a huge turnout there the fans at the flight from moscow touched down within the last hour and celebrations of started already as you can see the huge crowds out of the russian easy front speech for two in sunday's final to become world champions for the second time was bring in natasha butler who's in paris for so you must be an incredible atmosphere there. there is indeed i'm sure you can a hear it behind me the loads of people chanting and singing many of these fans

we mentioned nine hundred ninety eight there and off to that when there was a lot of talk about sort of building on the multicultural team and the kind of huge achievements that they've made i mean clearly they're going to meet president mccord he's obviously very happy to get a big win that is for any country would be to have how much of a. an effort is there to kind of build on a win like this and did they get it do they get it wrong last time to the not make enough of it. going off to ninety eight as you say for the team there i should say we're really seeing is a symbol of multiculturalism and many people associate the nation was going to be united in looking was for wallace still is in many ways it's just that all to then a few years later the far right leaders will marry in the pen. went through the second round of the presidential elections or perhaps people got a little bit carried away by the people was a missing suit was because they first got out of the senate to cities across problems many of them come from the paris suburbs where they often say they were

hear reports of flooding there here's what we're expecting to happen on tuesday that already the rain has set in over the northern parts of in southern china and then the here is the next system this is the cycle and it's working its way towards the west and will bring us yet more very heavy rain over towards the west and the rains over india have been pretty active recently particularly in the northwest and of the more heavy showers here still to come. on counting the cost why china wants an expanded economic role in the middle east look at which countries are leading the way in innovation. pants of course one of the world's most profitable and widely used list goes on. counting the cost on a. reminder

a situation without precedent we are submitted to a terror war where there's no rule of law or anyone kills you or kidnapped you we've never lived something like this before and despite this nicaraguans are showing their ability to resist it. the government says it's fighting against opponents plotting against it but international organizations say the government is condoning the disproportionate use of force against civilians. but we condemn the repressive acts we're seeing around the country including harassment individual and collective detentions houses being mocked and deaths we are very worried about what's going on. rights groups here say paramilitary groups in some neighborhoods kidnapped people from their homes. they say that men are operating with police protection. in men now when many one say they are not afraid to fight

government forces even with weapons i wasn't in the shadow but despite the dangers we will continue fighting to have a free country because we deserve it. was good i learned opposition groups are no match to the heavily armed paramilitary forces and human rights organizations have urged the government to bring an end to the violence this is the most. in our reports we emphasize the need to par if i what these forces that seem to operate in the country with impunity. and attack on sunday lift at least ten people dead it came a day after paramilitary forces attacked students trapped inside a church in my now one in a siege throughout the night that lasted more than fifteen hours two students were killed and more than ten wounded. the crisis in the ghetto was quickly spiralling from peaceful protests demanding pension reforms to indiscriminate attacks of

going on there was still this freedom but then of course the rohingya crisis the whole crackdown happened against the ranger and of course this is now seen as a strong warning by the military to all media all journalists in myanmar not to investigate what actually has happened against the ranger because that's what exactly what the reuters journalists were doing they had investigated this massacre of ten men in a particular village and interestingly after they were detained and arrested the military actually arrested some soldiers who day say were involved in that exact same a massacre and they have been put in prison for ten years now so basically the government and the military was admitting that that massacre the reuters investigate it was actually really really had happen. relational lawmakers including indicted ex need to. have taken their lives in parliament and was charged with criminal breach of trust and corruption in the scandal that led to his coalition's electoral defeat in

israeli settlers we need and israeli student he's come from tel aviv to see for himself what is happening here i mean it's an obvious strategy to try to push. communities into cities and expand the settlements around here and basically clear for potential cities to jewish israeli cities settlements to expand and in the meantime make life of palestinian harder and harder that's already apparent just by looking around here the large illegal israeli settlements and smaller outposts overshadow the scattered bedouin communities the bedouin have been here since the one nine hundred fifty s. and they don't want to leave but they say israel is doing everything it can to change that stephanie decker al-jazeera. former u.s. president barack obama urged kenya's leaders to calm ethnic tensions during his first visit to his father's birth country since leaving office is helping his half
