trump now says he misspoke at the news conference with bloodier putin in finland our white house correspondent kimberly hauck it was more. a stunning reversal by u.s. president donald trump i said the word one hundred percent of what he. faced with nonstop criticism over his press conference with russian president vladimir putin in finland from claims he misspoke and now accepts the conclusion of u.s. intelligence that russia meddled in the twenty sixteen presidential election i have felt very strongly that well russia's actions had no impact at all on the outcome of the election. let me be totally clear in saying that and i've said this many times except our intelligence community is conclusion that russia's meddling in the two thousand and sixteen election took place terms of arc's follow a barrage of condemnation from members of his own political party for his initial

acceptance of putin's denial he just said it's not russian of any election interference by the kremlin i remain. but it was shameful i think he needs to fix it morning the republican speaker of the house of representatives equally unequivocal not only did russia interfere in the past it threatens to do so again they're doing it around the world they did it to france they did to moldova they're doing it to the baltics russia is trying to undermine democracy itself democrats are pressuring republicans to reinforce those words with action if donald trump was such an easy mark in helsinki. president putin will realize he's an easy mark elsewhere that's why lawmakers are pushing for further sanctions against russia many are also demanding trump requests the extradition of twelve russians indicted last week on charges of interfering in the twenty sixteen u.s.

vote but like previous administrations my administration has and will continue to move aggressively to repeal and they have friends and we will we will stop it we were telling. any efforts to get if you are in our elections some democrats are calling for legislation to prevent the president from criticizing the f.b.i. and the department of justice as the president has done in the past so that the special counsel robert muller can continue his investigation into russian interference in the u.s. presidential election can really help get al-jazeera the white house well in contrast to russian politicians are heading the summit as a success but the public is more skeptical will reach islands has more from moscow . the kremlin seems broadly pleased with the way helsinki when some foreign minister lavrov said that it was all better than super but there doesn't seem to be much in the way of public gloating here role crowing that somebody may putin

managed to roll over from. the media is quite muted saying that there were many details that came out of the meeting we'll have to wait for the follow up to pharmacy to see if things really do get better between russia and the united states but they point to this being a good start a good warm up and conducted in a spirit of partnership however it has been noted here that the howls of process that have been heard in the united states points to the opposition that donald trump has domestically and there is from the moscow perspective a very powerful deep state work in the u.s. that is going to try to sabotage whatever ambitions donald trump has for better relations between washington and moscow. john nothing or as a former communications director at the democratic national committee he says u.s.

politics is in uncharted territory. donald trump's supporters don't much care what he says and if he offend somebody or if the media says he got it wrong that doesn't bother them in the least they like that he bothers people in power frankly and he's very good at that and so he's had this sort of teflon not unlike ronald reagan before but i think this really does change things i mean that the outcry from the republican side of the aisle we have not seen this before and so there is some advice for democrats to say when your opponents are not doing well stay out of the way so we'll have to see how this unfolds but i think this is really seeing donald trump seeing an american president kowtow to an ex k.g.b. officer really is shocking for american republicans for whom ronald reagan and his winning the cold war and beating the evil empire is a huge point of pride for them so i think we're kind of in uncharted territory i

think we're in a different conversation after health inky than we were before. u.k. based investigative agency has obtained documents revealing an expensive lobbying effort by the u.a.e. and britain and the u.s. the spin watch report includes e-mails from an m a rotty lobbying group to influence the b.b.c.'s coverage of the arab spring paul brennan has more. on. the two thousand and eleven arab spring summer a wave of democratic grassroots protests which topple longtime leaders and offer the hope of a new vision for the middle east the response by some of the kingdoms and emirates of the region was just as dramatic a report by the spin watch group says that in the u.k. the united arab emirates mobilised a narrative against the muslim brotherhood in britain in the highest echelons of government it says the abu dhabi crown prince and the then prime minister david cameron had several undeclared meetings and it says through a combination of persuasion and threats the u.a.e.

campaign produced results one threat which was made by the david cameron was if you don't institute an inquiry into the muslim brotherhood we will cancel the typhoon fighter jet deal from bush's place i will stop british petroleum getting an oil concession in the law that was successful really extraordinary effort by the each actually cajole and bully the british government into a pursuing its foreign policy the success or failure of the other u.a.e. lobbying is less clear spin watch says that the u.a.e. put pressure on the b.b.c. over its coverage of the arab spring but the b.b.c. in a statement has flatly denied that it caved in to any political pressure it's been watch also quotes a source suggesting that iraqi donations to the think tank chatham house may have affected that institute's research but chatham house has vigorously denied that it could be affected in that way but the u.a.e. foreign minister is known to have had close contacts with selected u.k. journalists' meetings which led the u.a.e.

piaf quilla to claim that views changed. the report highlights the ways the two thousand and seventeen blockade against katsa saw the intensification of the us p.r. campaign including bitter criticism of catalyst twenty twenty two world cup the lobbying rules are woefully inadequate it seems to me and explain what the greater safeguards to prevent the sort of influence which seems to have been exerted only on the british government in the way in which is has been and of course you know some of the only time the consequences have been the growth of islamophobia in this country and we're seeing the expression of that on the streets of britain the report notes that now theresa may is u.k. prime minister abu dhabi's clout has diminished significantly but there seems little to prevent a possible slide backwards the central issue in all of this is one of transparency when does the jetsam at lobbying become undue influence and to quote the report itself promising billions in return for influence infiltrating the british media

buying politicians loyalty donating to think tanks and trying to influence media coverage some would see as a step too far. paul brennan al-jazeera central london. people are still protesting across southern iraq despite a promise by the prime minister to create jobs and improve public services the unrest began in the oil rich province of basra last week and it spread to several other large cities demonstrators say they're not benefiting from iraq's vast oil wealth because of government corruption and mismanagement some of binge of it reports. even late at night protesters continue to block roads and security forces try to stop the demonstrators lit fires on many streets in oil rich by the prime minister's offer for more jobs and cash for development have failed to convince them why even if we don't feel we have been listening to the calls and demands of all iraqi citizen and also their grievances we also providing

sufficient budget to cover all basics electricity water and job opportunities. as day broke iraqi security forces had to fire in the air to disperse hundreds of protesters at this oil field in basra for days southern iraq has been seething with high temperatures and public anger a number of demonstrators have been arrested some protests turned violent but the demonstrators at oil fields at the main port in basra and in other southern provinces have largely remained peaceful. this protest was invested province with people chanting the same demands for jobs and better public services. we demand that they fix the institutions and i'll admit corruption and we demand also that they complete the un finished projects there's been widespread criticism of internet blackout and the use of force iraq's interior ministry says more than two hundred people have been injured and dozens of security personnel have been treated

in hospital. we are adamant to protect the ongoing demonstrations against any malice by infiltrators who attempt to undermine the safety and well being of protesters and state institutions those infiltrators who undermine the safety of our citizens. the people's resources will be dealt with firmly and with zero tolerance. one of the biggest issues people face is the perpetual lack of electricity which becomes worse during the summer. private generators meet the demand that spaghetti over electric cables on every street for two weeks iran has cut off a thousand megawatts because iraq hasn't paid its bills and iraqi delegation failed to convince iran to resume supplies and. iran supplies six thousand five hundred megawatts which is hoth of iraq's nationwide electricity production and that's why when iran pulls out from providing electricity it means a collapse of iraq's power grid i believe that a visit by the iraqi side to.
