and either welcome to the program on oracle direct open and deeply productive dialogue that's how u.s. president donald trump describes his controversial summit with the russian leader vladimir putin the two men said they touched on a wide range of international and regional issues during their private meeting in helsinki on monday but one particular topic has overshadowed the talks russia's meddling in the two thousand and sixteen u.s. presidential election which has been confirmed by the u.s. intelligence community and congress will begin our discussion in just a moment but first is out there. in helsinki. face to face ahead of a solo meeting a meeting that lasted over two and a half hours but if you were hoping they would solve any of the world's problems you'll be sorely disappointed instead when they spoke to reporters their comments were dominated by their views on the most toxic political issue in the u.s.

an issue that just got more controversial as they seemed mainly to agree on it 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 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 an interesting idea putin then explained that idea he'd get russian authorities to interview the twelve hackers even though the allegation is they were working on behalf of those same or thoughts is or he said they could set up a joint us russian investigation team with one condition north of the witness which was this kind of reference should be unusual one and then we would expect that the

americans would reciprocate and they've they would question the shoals including the officers of law enforcement and intelligence services of the united states whom we believe who have something to do with illegal actions on the territory of russia trump called that an incredible offer he was then asked a straight question at every u.s. intelligence agency has concluded that russia did. what hu my first question for you sir is who do you believe remarkably he said by switching to a completely different subject which is not part of the investigation hillary clinton's e-mails what happened to hillary clinton's e-mails thirty three thousand e-mails gone just gone i think in russia they wouldn't be gone so easily twenty two months after the election he still seems determined to reaffirm the legitimacy of his when i beat hillary clinton easily the electoral college is much more

advantageous for democrats as you know than it is to republicans we won the electoral college by a lot one last question was simple yes important president putin did you want president trump to win the election. yes i did because he talked about bringing the right us relationship back to normal i've lost count of the number of times over the last eighteen months that i've described comments by president trump as extraordinary but this what was supposed to be a summit between the two most powerful leaders in the world was taking things to a new level the president may have been trying to robustly make his case about the twenty sixteen election but there seems little doubt that he's only made matters worse for himself james al-jazeera helsinki. well let's introduce our panel now and joining us from washington d.c.

joel rubin former u.s. deputy assistant secretary of state and paris remy an associate fellow at the french institute of international and strategic affairs and moscow vyacheslav matters of former russian diplomats a very warm welcome to all of you just start with you because this is being called by people in america the worst summits in the history of the u.s. russia relations would you agree with that. well yes i would and i think that's an understatement as someone who served in national security positions for more than a decade i felt like it was a humiliating experience to watch the press conference yesterday the president didn't stand up for american interests or values he kowtow to vladimir putin he essentially threw the american intelligence community under the bus and said that our intelligence assessments are not important as long as the person who committed an attack against our democracy says he didn't do it so it was

a very depressing moment for those of us who've worked in national security and for the american people across party lines this is a very confusing day for americans i've got to solve the very strong reaction that we're getting there from america humiliating experience jill says what's been the reaction there in russia. well in the rushes they considered that it was a very great step ahead. in concerning our russian and american relationship first of all the second russian day i met are going to be a relation of digger i dated below zero last decayed so i think that this meeting demonstrate in new approach from american side and russian side. getting pushed back for developing at this by let their live relations in favor of all of international law in fire or world order in favor of interests of both

sides i cannot say that meeting ended by zero point zero ending. bye bye bye bye trump because this. achievement is far in the interests of all humanity i think that in russia they look at this and not waiting very much from this meeting concret deals are made the latest on the grain on any other sanctions and yada regions of the world but in russia looking at this event as a by do you need a door of up what unit is that opened by two presidents i don't even hold humanity in that his hand is open to some hairy hats and russia how exactly does this benefit everyone in the wild oh. our reaction is push it if it

streamed it positive and it is. in knowing seeing was in russia and by a foreign policy is. affected by our now our position in. in the world because of the. extremely. tense tension in by letter relation we deny that states or all of the united states in world policy is that all of us for all in the economy in politics and in many other things so i think that it is a big big step ahead but not mom there is no deal so there is no agreement there is no some concrete the results of this meeting but it's not so important then then seeing remy let me tell you it is made on time he then let me tie let down their last income tax in a manner let me just move on to randy on the one hundred had that it's a humiliating experience for the u.s.

on the other hand a big step ahead on the cheap and for humanity what's your take on it. well donald trump's show of defiance has been seen well as some criticism and maybe some irony on the parts of some european governments and media commands but small generally does one thing ness among european countries especially in canton intell europe to somehow appease tensions with russia it's been quite clear the past few years and these developments and sems of europe's and their policies especially in germany with the plank construction of the north stream to pipeline so in time europe pays for maintaining. sanctions and trying to somehow mend size and have a two to develop economy relations. with russia and russia also has

become an adamant in the rising tensions between the you and the u.s. . don't has accused germany or of being under the influence of the kremlin well obviously germany the german government also has been critical of trump unease approach to what to russia but also refusing to broaden sanctions to to include d.n.a. adjacent to the larger tensions between the u.s. and e.u. and that includes russia but it's in a quite products a cool manner but more generally does does this willingness to to somehow appease tensions i mean we see trying to somewhat of a disrupt a day or a one one hand in one week rennie we saw him blasting naysay and then just a few days later a bus rang up person i mean that's got to alarm the e.u. . well the certainly

a big political game at the moment with trump criticizing european governments for their relates of low defense expenditures at the same time. getting closer to russia so that's also an economy excite to. today's political game as put the tramp has been very critical of the was a cut especially of germany's traits plus. you can see that the german government is trying. to keep a lead on tensions in order to avoid some type of specially on comic sports so it's a lost political gamble taking place at this moment the french government is being a little more search tools to us when it comes to trade issues but really

russia is just one part of these i mean from a european perspective russia is one part of these growing tensions between the you and the u.s. in general it's not surely just about defining one come on approach to russia it's it's a bit more complicated than that especially given the. trade tension that the moments nikkei joe why has trump broken so decisively with what the u.s. stance towards russia has been for very many is well first and foremost i want to make sure that we understand something here about the united states engaging russia in the obama administration the united states negotiated agreements with russia on nuclear weapons related to new start on syria and chemical weapons and sanctuary was engaging in diplomacy with russia on multiple levels russia though chose to.

invade ukraine and chose to invade american democracy and what that did was that in addition to human rights violations at home that created these tensions and so when president trump has come in and sort of pushed to the side of the argument that in the past somehow everything was done wrong by the united states and that's completely misreading the recent history of american russian relations so i think right now where we are as president trump is trying to rewrite the history and not really stand up for any of the american policy positions that we have over years and decades been pursuing in advancing towards russia we did this in the cold war with the soviet union where there were tensions and conflicts that we had negotiations with the soviet union on multiple issues while also criticizing them but that's no longer the case apparently apparently dealing with russia means only agreeing with russia no longer being able to criticize and deal with them and

that's problematic for american national security i've had just of if you were honest i you surprised that we didn't see trump calling out any of russia's provokers have actions. oh i think that the boardin gave up salute likelier a view about this interview in america under your let's move it was a way to need it then it's from them and let's look at crime in involvement in ukraine bringing down a russian plane supporting assad many other issues russian view always different russian view a different. american the european relation first of all is not just subject all russian policy it is subject of american the european relations and specific of a. polish it does europe does not go and in many other sinks in the gun on the it in military field so it is not up to russia to interfere in this relations

between america and europe no but my point is to play nicely and use to haring this kind of criticism from u.s. presidents was russia way use of well we have here at this time. or we have. thought america or europe in their interference in a cranium situation for example because god did die and seraing alleged emit a government you know called each in a key if it was made by john mike in victoria nuland and many are with the west on the present that yes officially. well involved in this process over is drawing a legit timid government then gave their chief their goals what they'd blame their option they brought to look at the power as a russian point of your. four forces connected in the second world

war with germany that went germans that well fighting russian the russian army during the second world war and now they're dominating in the oak re-employed but polish a people in a group in crimea refuse to acknowledge this changes and it is for you know ok well let me know ok i'm going to try and bring us back from getting too involved in the ins and outs of what happened in crimea and ukraine because that is a whole subject that dissolves a whole inside story to be devoted to it is going to bring us back the reaction that we've been seeing to this particular summits and present trump has come under fire for defending russia over accusations of election into ferentz not politicize from both sides of the political divide have expressed outrage what the president did. side with our number one enemy who is attacking the united states daily in a variety of ways and be literally kneecapping our allies is just appalling

and demands some kind of explanation and republican senator john mccain called trump's news conference with latimer putin disgraceful in a statement he said the damage inflicted by president trumps naivety egotism false equivalence and sympathy for autocrats is difficult to calculate. the director of national intelligence dan coats publicly breaking with donald trump and saying russia interfered in the u.s. election this is what he had to say we've been clear in our assessments of russian meddling in the two thousand and sixteen election and their ongoing pervasive efforts to undermine our democracy and we will continue to provide on vanished and of objective intelligence in support of our national security so we look at some of these reactions how much trouble is trump in that home. i think we're now in a new stage in trump's relations with congress and with the american people this

really performance yesterday fed into a lot of the concerns that democrats have been expressing about who's really in charge in this relationship and so now it only will give you lots of the fire for democrats in congress for example to call for preventing the supreme court nominee from moving forward because there are questions about the legitimacy of president trump's. presidency and this is what president the irony here is that president trump attempted to stamp out the questions of the election interference yesterday he tried to do this over a year ago when he fired then cia director jim comi tried to end the russian vest occasion and it ended up exacerbating the problems that we have the robert mueller investigation we may very well see the same dynamic now where democrats in congress will be able to peel off republicans and open up questions about what is really going on because we just don't know we don't know what happened in that two hour

and ten minute meeting we don't know what they discussed and we do know what we saw in public which is very troubling across the political spectrum and so i think that there is a more much more tension that's going to come about as a result of yesterday when i mean it is a big question isn't it what happened behind those closed doors what was discussed and that. private meeting and what are your feelings on that. well lots of issues were discussed obviously. political much as in particular some some economists kwan's some some of those issues where obviously mentioned during the prince the surprising press conference others will remain more. discreet but suddenly does does a lot going on that's not just about donald trump also about u.s. policy on several issues also on the middle east that's a very important. also for european governments as russia has become

a presence in the middle east and on some issues are really critical to europe and she european stability like the syrian civil war and. the migration crisis also more and more generally so all of these issues are really part of a broader political political gaiman's odds real really shoes to tackle so it's not just about. i mean really negative on one side or collusion on the other it's small more complex than that certainly and in a sense it's a pity the those really important debates are somehow being overshadowed by by those those other issues. you have for meddling in and u.s. us of actions so that there's an english and let me on they have a history has no mention of them in this press conference i mean there was so list so in the way of details on any of these very crucial issues so there is the

feeling that the status quo just remains on things like crimea on issues like syria on issues like oms control. well i think there are quite a lot of international issue that took on sons of presidents because the a role of the united stance in their world policy i got it and no one can deny because in you what's happening in this globe it is. concerned american foreign policy is a lot like going to russia in many ways so i think. two presidents have the right to talk privately and they talk privately more than two hours after as it begins a break in presence of foreign ministers and secretary of state but i think that. they are responsible to make report to their. palmettos the

public were in the vote form they called into consideration constitution love it when i just said on the russian federation i don't saying that. in this concrete situation when donald trump was on do go on to go up structure and thaw the great pressure on him inside the united states from his open ends and what did it well who would demand what is dissident demands of them would president prompt not then not acknowledge an illegitimate of keys election blaming russian for interference i'm sorry if russia cares if there's a right and a possibility to influence on the american presidential elections i can't believe it ok but you know that's that's the challenge and that's on to that. well

. with all due respect one can believe it or not but the american intelligence community has the tools and the capabilities of identifying influence operations conducted against united states and it did so and there's a lot of electronic influence that was executed through social media twitter facebook as well as potentially money provided there have been indictments about this money provided to groups to run political support for one candidate there was hacking into the democratic national committee there's a paper trail and i trust that our intelligence community in our law enforcement knows what it's looking for and i do agree though that we should have a report about what it was that was discussed in this two hour meeting we don't know i hope that it was about the policy issues outlined by by by by our colleague here on the show but i'm not sure and until we have that answer i don't believe

that the agencies the states farm the defense department the intelligence community will know what to do and i don't think our congress will know how to react so we need transparency right now from that two hour meeting now be very interesting to see if we guess his own not well many thanks very much for joining us today joel rubin. matters of. and thank you two very much for watching you can see the program again any time by the single website that's al-jazeera dot com and for this question to go to all face that pace that's facebook dot com a.j. inside story it has a done it comes a sign on twitter at inside story from me laura kyle and the whole team hand it's by and. i.

the people after those weeks of protests across iraq seven cities people have been demonstrating for basic services to be improved and wealth to be shared he said that they've been listening to their grievances but also wanted to maintain law and order let's bring in osama bin job age has been covering events in iraq extensively he joins us now from from doha. quite vague on the detail there is this going to be enough to to to satisfy those who've been protesting in this way but more and so far it hasn't this is yet another attempt by the iraqi prime minister using his weekly address to try and placate the tensions in southern iraq where he said it is now entering its second week people are very very angry this has been happening almost year on year since the u.s. invasion where there has been a lack of electricity but this time around you see that these protests especially in the south have come out and they have attacked political offices of all political parties the political spectrum even those which have

a very solid ground support in terms of ideological allegiances visit we militia support and political support have been targeted people are just angry at everyone who holds office or seems to have some sort of power they have been demanding very basics they have been demanding that they don't have jobs they can't access electricity because it's really really hot these days and they don't even have clean drinking water when it comes to basra and this is spread to not just president but to not just to karbala to russett. to all of the sudden part of iraq which is close to the border with iran adding to that the lack of electricity is the cut off by iran of electricity which is having its impact not just in iraq but in the wider region as well so a bit of a thank you very much indeed for that update that. but thank you to the us now on the growing outcry over donald trump's summit with not to be putin in helsinki

a former cia director is among a group a group of intelligence chiefs who described the performance during a news conference with russian president is nothing short of treasonous those standing by the success of the summit and blaming the fake media for raining on his parade when he responded to a white house correspondent kimberly health kit committee what else is the president been saying in the fallout from this. right he's been for many hours here on social media defending his performance in helsinki and his appearance and acceptance of letter putin's denial that there was any interference in the twenty sixteen u.s. election despite the fact that the u.s. intelligence agencies definitively say russia was involved and did interfere donald trump has that despite widespread criticism he has characterized in social media his performance as being a political risk in pursuit of peace a great meeting and as you pointed out he's blaming the negative coverage on what

he calls the fake news media we are expected to hear from the president not on social media again but when he speaks here at the white house he's scheduled to meet with republican members of congress who have also been critical as well as democratic members of congress will still be the first face to face meeting since the president returned to washington and we are told that he is expected to talk about the summit and we're speculating based on the tone and tenor of the statements on social media so far that likely he will deflect criticism and perhaps even be angry with some republican members of congress for not supporting him more in his positions and how do you sense the republicans you have come out against him then influential bunch or or are they people who are going to carry much weight. there absolutely and influential in fact we just heard from the top republican in the u.s. senate who typically support. donald trump in fact his wife is even a member of the president's cabinet he has also stood by mitch mcconnell has stood

by many republican members of congress who are perhaps not running for reelection and had very harsh criticism oh.
