people think the peace corps unification is the only option for prosperity of south korea hear their story on talk to al-jazeera. says russia did not meddle in the twenty sixteen presidential election as he wraps up a highly anticipated one on one meeting with donald trump in helsinki it was. a montana says al jazeera live from london also coming up. awaiting their world cup heroes france prepares to welcome home their triumphant football team. another step towards peace after twenty years of conflict eritrea reopens its embassy in ethiopia. and we speak to nicaraguans

risking their lives to take a stand against their government. and their highly anticipated one on one meeting between donald trump and to me a putin has ended in helsinki the us president said he had productive talks with his russian counterpart but it turned a corner on a relationship that never been worse there was much speculation about whether they would mention the elephant in the room claims that russia meddled in the twenty sixteen presidential election something both men have repeatedly denied during today's meeting i addressed directly with president putin the issue of russian interference in our elections i felt this was a message best to live 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 he has a literal string idea could you name a single fact that you want to become definitively prove the collusion but this is not a nonsense. just like with president recently mentions that. james bays used in helsinki so collusion that a big part of that news conference is that a friend now finally out of the room. well you might be we might think that if you have the most to most powerful people in the world meeting and they reach broad agreement on an important issue then then the world should be rejoicing but this most important issue is the most toxic issue in the united states and we saw president putin coming up with some new suggestions following the indictment of those twelve russian hackers that the special counsel robert mueller say were

members of russian intelligence and president trump said that they were great ideas suggesting perhaps that he would suggest that they should be pursued but these ideas i don't think are going to go anywhere with regard to much of the political establishment in washington or with special counsel because what president putin is suggesting is that either he can investigate those twelve suspects his own or thora says but of course they are accused of hacking on behalf of president putin or remarkably that could be a joint team from the u.s. and russia who could come investigate this and speak to those twelve that sounds good but then president putin said a condition for that would that team would be able to go to the u.s. as well and investigate people there and proceedings then got even more unusual

when president trump was asked whether he believes president putin that there was no hacking and no collusion or whether he believes the u.s. intelligence agencies and he completely dodged the question and started saying we've got to find the servers referring to hillary clinton's e-mail service he then went on about the twenty sixteen election even though it's twenty two months on saying i beat hillary clinton easily relate to gating a race and trying to reassess. hurt his legitimacy a most unusual news conference which is already seen john brennan the former head of the cia take the amazing step on twitter of accusing a sitting president in a news conference with the russian president of treason. so where else in amongst all that what else did they talk about that was significant. well i don't think we

have any major breakthroughs on any particular issues they did speak about the role of iran and president trump made it quite clear that he was acting in the interests of israel here and that they would try and work together to make sure that israel was not threatened by iran now i think that means as they already have been doing trying to find ways to keep iranian forces or indian troops in syria away from the israeli border but no other further important breakthroughs in syria they said they'd work together on humanitarian needs in syria and president trump said russian forces actually work very closely with u.s. forces in syria which is interesting as russian forces recently have been accused of killing civilians with aerial bombardment in what are supposed to be called deescalation areas i think also interesting that president trump came out at one point and said i have a desire for peace and i can speak on behalf of russia and says it has

a desire for peace well just think about those words and remember this that we're hours away from the fourth anniversary of the downing of m.h. seventeen two hundred ninety eight people killed and we've had u.s. intelligence an accident investigation and a criminal investigation say that they were brought down by a russian missile emissions are from president putin's military james thank you very much indeed. bronzes world cup winning footballers a return to a hero's welcome these are the scenes in paris as tens of thousands turned up to greet them from st croatia for two on those final become world champions for the second time in a parade on the shores visit before a private audience with president in the near mcchord under sort of

a tree garden party. speak to the touch of a player who so with the fans on the shows elisa's so an incredible scenes from the air of the of the turnout for this. yes absolutely incredible scenes i mean they were incredible last night where frogs won the world cup and hundreds of thousands of fans poured on for charles lee's a party when it was still here this morning at they have to go back today many of them behind me and they will continue to party all day some of them with have been here for hours because they are waiting for the bus carrying the victorious team to come down the shows it is a happy person space famous out here with the team on top but of course the trophy they want to talk to the team is going to be any minute now maybe the next ten fifteen minutes you can hear of course this crowd go absolutely wild time speaking to some of the fans people i spoke to two young men who said they traveled from eastern frog's they partied all night to the city of stress ball then they've gone

straight to the train station and go to trade and come in especially for this cajun and i just picked another man who said you know it's really important that he was here he's also traveled in from outside of paris because he said it's a blow to the people of all backgrounds all races come together and that's one of the really important points about this team as well is that they're seen as this symbol of diversity the supply of youth and that's really a touch lots of people here and how much of a bounce do you think are my call will get from that to that team winning and he's had a bit of a a dip in the polls seeing the. it is the president of the rich do you think that this diverse football team will will will help boost his electoral is his kind of popularity. but i can't predict how it will affect the rating in the opinion polls but i can certainly say he's only been making the most of it here after the semifinal when france had a maximum of course the final he went to russia and he was in the stadium and i don't know if you saw any of the videos the broad social media that the lease

a put out after that emmanuel mark on the changing rooms of some of the french players but it was you know pretty much high fives and really enjoying themselves and i think a lot of young people will relate to that going to joy seeing that image of this very youthful president with his useful team and all in all i can only imagine that folks here this can only play out positively. in the trash about to thank you very much indeed. croatia's losing finalists of also arrived home and have been given a hero's welcome to these were the scenes on route from the airport to the capital zagreb as hundreds of thousands of people greeted the players would become national heroes over the past month for a show of playing in just their sixth world cup and have the third smallest population thirty two teams in the tournament. at least eight people have died in protests in southern iraq where anger is growing over the lack of basic services and high unemployment the government is promising billions of dollars to address their concerns but many are skeptical of a binge of

a bad was but live ammunition was fired at protesters. some of been attacking offices of major political parties and bus rides main port and the airport and niger have reopened a novelty or have done a lot if we disrupt the oil production everyone will run to us including the us and respond to our demands do not push just of the limits so far we are peacefully demonstrating in these protests are merely a warning him about it. we have the residents of pastor and not infiltrators was simply raising our demands which are clean water electricity basic services and jobs are peaceful protests are met with bullets. iraq senior cleric has supported the demonstrators grand ayatollah sistani says people facing extreme lack of services. are the leading contender to form the new government after a contested election earlier this year has sent a delegation to basra he asked people to protect public property. prime minister head that he has tried to offer ten thousand jobs in basra and pledged three

further north into the southern parts of russia you can see some more bright white areas of cloud there just for me over the black sea over the last hour or so now we're expecting more showers here as we head through the day on choose day and again some of those could be quite heavy eventually though on wednesday looks like they're finally beginning to break up then there's a chance of want to shout perhaps in the northern parts of iran but elsewhere is just holt's as you'd expect at this time of year so backed up there put around forty four degrees a bit further towards the south and the winds here in doha will be feeding down from the northwest over the next few days and that's good news in a way because that's a draw a direction for the air so it looks like it won't be too few minutes but it will be hot so around forty five degrees will be our maximum temperature there as we head through tuesday and wednesday to the south coast of oman there will be a bit more cloud hey it could just squeeze out one or two shout but i think for most of us it will be drawing just a bit gray at times that will say be more clouds around the coast of yemen as well down towards the southern parts of africa where some fairly heavy rain here that's

working its way across the western parts of south africa but it's fizzling out there as we head into cheese day. where were you when this idea. that when they're on line it's undoubtedly. call of poverty inequality in our society today or if you join the sunset criminal justice system is dysfunctional right now this is a dialogue what does it feel like bring you to go back for the first time everyone has a voice and allow refugees to. change join the conversation on our.

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. they say that men are operating with police protection. in men now when many say they are not afraid to fight government forces even with weapons almost as if you were 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. an attack on sunday left 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 me get i was quickly spiraling from peaceful protests demanding pension reforms to indiscriminate attacks of illegal forces in joint operations with police acting with impunity around the country. i guess i'm just. a ceasefire between israel and hamas is under

it's the only school in the area for these bedouin children. we want to demolish the whole community and transferred us and take the land these ready supreme court will set a day to respond to an appeal to stop the demolition by the fifteenth of august and as of today with the clearing of the opening of the next scholastic you know what should have started on the first of september but rather today on the sixteenth of july we decided to launch its will to proceed any attempt on the part of the occupation forces to knock down the school it's not just the school which is our predestination but this entire village looks like a small basic and unimportant bedouin community that when it comes to this conflict it is all about land and who has access to palestinians tell you what is happening here is indicative of a wider israeli policy to push palestinians off this land and replace them with israeli settlers we need an 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. china united states and russia are being warned by european leaders not to start a trade war european council president i want to read the comments during talks in beijing with trade dominating the agenda in the wake of a number of us terrorists brown reports from beijing. just ten days after the

u.s. we think there is no winner from a trade war any actions of violate the world trade organization rule serve the interests of no one. even though e.u. officials disagree with president trump very main wary about being part of a coalition against him that's because many european business executives here also share trump's concerns about doing business in china china's leaders have promised to further open their economy to foreign investors the message from the e.u. officials on monday we hope you mean it this time china has made strong pleas to keep markets open and fight protectionism this is reassuring to the e.u. and its business community however we would like to see these encouraging words translated into more concrete action from china to further open up investment even before the trade war began ten days ago china's economy was starting to slow a monday figures showed the growth fell slightly from six point eight to six point
