to observe the may day protest topple hosp says he was there and filmed the incident. i didn't recognize him at the time i thought i was filming an example of police brutality so i feel his face looked like he was worried about being recognized. and even the guy you was beating up on the floor those in proximity to power may fall under the illusion that they actually wield it and what should have happened is that mr benn a lot also been reported to the police but he wasn't and that's left many opposition politicians saying that it is one rule for those close to mr. and another rule for the rest. but not was suspended from jus t. for fifteen days but he was soon back working even accompanying the victorious french football team on the open top bus tour on monday the president has since been accused of a cover up he said little on the matter when asked by journalists on thursday

really commenting that the french republic was steadfast. and you know they were. leaving it instead to the prime minister to denounce banal as actions. that while he was authorized to observe he went beyond the status of the. geisha will allow us to look at how and why this happened. the incident has so far reflected badly on president michael he has been careful about cultivating an image of a dynamic youthful leader but for his detractors it is yet another example of a president growing increasingly out of touch with that image something i go out jazeera paris. i mean ias prime minister has criticized russia for carrying out a military exercise in his country earlier this week. people complained about gunfire as russian armored vehicles drove through

a village a russian commander later apologized and said that the rounds fired were blanks russia has thousands of troops based in armenia prime minister nicola said the incident was unacceptable. it was probably cation against the armenian independence or right into mania and nod and dairies investigation that started and i think that. is guilty for that incident should be punished. who's in the out of. it's important to note that nicole question and also told us that this was a provocation against russia and i mean is relationship and i think the reason he said that is because he acknowledges how important the russians are for armenia they act as a security guard and so here against the potential for turkey sure as every

aggression against the media for that reason i don't think it's the question wants to point the finger of blame directly at the kremlin nevertheless there are concerns here tensions between the public and the russian military presence here but nevertheless a little pressure yeah and is aware of the fact that russia is very much it's a state provides equal to its economic lifeline to armenia and of course that military presence but he's also here now recently of winning the belt it revolution where he came to power up the mass street protests calling for big changes you know he wants to push through big reforms to turn this country into a liberal democracy and it's. they call the oligarchic elites here who have connections with the with the russian state with the with the russian elite so mr president plans for armenia although he needs russia at the same time and not entirely compatible with the current relationship that he has with russia between

caravan and moscow. and you can see that full interview with nickel passion ian on talk to al-jazeera which as first on saturday tomorrow july twenty eighth at zero four thirty g.m.t. and after that first transmission it will be online at al-jazeera doc the rescue of twelve boys and a football coach from the depths of a flooded cave in thailand captivated the world now that they're out there being treated like heroes but many people are unaware that four of the team members a stateless with barely any rights step vast reports now from northern thailand at the most northerly tip of thailand lies the hometown of the wild boars the football team trapped in a cave for eighteen days nothing more than a small river device may sigh from neighboring me on my. like many other members of

ethnic minorities in this border region for members of the team are stateless go check up all chant i want crossed into thailand to look for a better education after his parents from the shan minority died the twenty five year old is seen as the man who taught the boys how to survive in the cave. they all gave blessings at a local temple i am happy to be home i was finally able to sleep well last night despite a night of rest his future status is uncertain born in myanmar he doesn't qualify for thai citizenship which makes work and travel difficult nearly seven hundred thousand people in thailand are stateless including hundred fifty thousand children an organisation who promotes education for people in the highlands visit schools in an effort to help kids such as me pull them out if i was i really want to tie citizenship because when i graduate i want to continue my education i want to get

a job so i can send money for my siblings to go to school in myanmar i'm the eldest of seven children i want all of them to have an education like me. the plight of the stateless children is in the spotlight since it seems dramatic rescue. i was happy to say that the stateless boys weren't treated any differently to the others some people were suggesting they should have been taken out of the cave last choice tyo nontoxic we all have the same human rights that's far from reality for most other stateless children many growing up without their parents survival instincts part of you due to the fighting spirit of the sadist members and the wild boars of buffy from an early age they learned how to deal with hardship and survive in a country that doesn't officially accept them now many homes have been face to face that's has been proved to be rewarded citizenship the local district chief says he has yet to receive the applications for citizenship and they will only be

successful if they were born in thailand and have birth certificates so while the team spirit of the wild boars has become stronger after the cave or deal some players won't have the same rights as their teammates any time soon step fastened al-jazeera may for a long north thailand. well again adrian finnegan here in doha with the headlines on obviously are u.s. president donald trump has asked his administration to invite russian leader vladimir putin to washington later this year it follows criticism of his summit in helsinki with putin earlier this week earlier trump rejected moscow's to mond to question u.s. citizens in return for access to twelve russians indicted on charges of electoral interference u.s. director of national intelligence stand coats learned about the invitation to putin during a question and answer session say we have some breaking news the white house has

announced on twitter that vladimir putin is coming to the white house in the fall. again i. am not here yeah. ok i am. that's going to be special i critics are condemning israel's new nation state law saying that it threatens the future of peace with the palestinians on thursday the knesset passed a bill defining israel as the homeland of the jewish people prime minister benjamin netanyahu praised it as a defining moment for zionism at least eleven people died when a tourist boat capsized and sank in the u.s. state of missouri thirty one people were on board with the amphibious vehicle overturned.

and those are the headlines now as iraq it's the stream. the former bishop of hong kong says the pope is sending out china's catholics. sending. cardinal joseph then. hi emily could be in the stream now live on al-jazeera and you too. have a dream today we're diving into three stories that really have our community talking we begin in washington d.c. where the fallout continues following u.s. president donald trump's historic meeting and thank you this week with russian president vladimir putin there is even more confusion about what president trump

believes or does not believe about russian interference in the two thousand and sixteen u.s. presidential election on monday and how think you trump would not say if you believe u.s. intelligence officials assessment that russia meddled in his country's election and election he won his misstep sparked admonition from both democrats and republicans and put the white house on the defensive so on tuesday he attempted to correct the air. realize that there is a need for some clarification it should have been obvious i thought it would be obvious but i would like to clarify it just in case it was and a key sentence in my remarks i said the word would instead of one hundred. percent should have been i don't see any reason why i would or why it would be rushed. but latest twists have seen president trump at odds with his aides and at one point with himself joining us to discuss the fallout and how the white house and the

president are handling it is al-jazeera his very own white house correspondent kimberly how cut welcome to this stream kimberly i want to start with a tweet where else president trump's twitter feed this was tweeted july eighteenth just this wednesday so many people at the higher end of intelligence love to my press conference putin and i discussed many important subjects that our earlier meeting we got along very well with truly bothered many haters who wanted to see a boxing match big results will come really has the president in your mind and based on your reporting and poll numbers that you've seen has he convinced voters here that he takes allegations of russian interference seriously i think there's been widespread concern by both democrats and republicans about the president's sort of wavering back and forth with his reluctance to accept the intelligence very prominent well respected not just members of the u.s.

government but also members of his own administration that's been concerning to members on capitol hill in fact so much so we've seen just even here in washington on thursday a vote in the senate and what's so interesting about this vote is that it was unanimous what they were voting on is something that was discussed behind closed doors between lattimer putin donald trump in helsinki have been very concerning to members of congress and this is the idea that there could be this exchange back and forth between the united states and russia where russia could essentially question two u.s. citizens a former u.s. ambassador and also u.s. businessmen fact one that they haven't convicted in absentia of corruption and in exchange the united states would get to question twelve russian intel. since officials with regard to them being indicted by the special counsel robert muller well this is just outraged members of congress particularly democrats who say

subjecting diplomats to what they've called is an abuse of power so they voted in the senate ninety eight to zero to make sure that never happens what we're seeing is this pushback by the against the president by the legislative branch and in a divided america this is really stunning and kimberly to your point you know a divided america there are so many divisions between the different branches of government and also between the people and a lot of people asking the questions about loyalty who is donald trump loyal to a.g. flora's for example saying at the helsinki summit trump revealed his loyalty is to himself above all else and aligning himself with putin over his own intelligence community trump demonstrated his willingness to throw america under the bus in pursuit of self preservation. self preservation is hardly an unusual pursuit for politicians but in this case is this really the watershed moment it's been made out to be trump said that it's a shame there's even a little bit of a cloud over his election you know kind of tying his election to the russian

investigation is this is this a pivotal moment certainly there are many in the united states that believe it is often we can't tell without a little bit more distance what i can tell you is significant donald trump reverting to his standard playbook and that is to blame the fake news media for the negative coverage that you know whether you're liberal or conservative in the united states most people have this being the example of where the president best was out early unprepared for that very very pivotal meeting when you take into context the historical significance of a u.s. president and a russian president standing side by side given the history of the two countries being adversaries there was no question that the president should have prepared for the conversation and showed that he wasn't so in terms of self preservation donald trump we know from his presidency has this new. need to be accepted well liked when things go wrong instead of looking inward reflecting and improving upon listening

to his communications team taking the advice of his director of national intelligence saying there still is russian interference something that was underscored again on thursday by his department of homeland security secretary he instead lashes out this is because default setting he's continuing to do this blaming the media blaming those of that lack the higher intelligence he believes in order to understand the complexities and the nuances but we all saw it for ourselves the president messed up and now he's in damage control mode the white house has been doing so for four days and so can really the question on i think a lot of people's minds in the international community is is it working or will it have an effect on his base well we have poll numbers that tell us exactly that and so far no i think what's interesting to note is that the president is essentially blaming the media for what happened to the perception that this did not go over well and republican supporters overwhelmingly agree with the president i think the reason that some of this exists and we have to look at some of the gallup poll

numbers going into the helsinki press conference and some of it russia doesn't register on the radar of the ordinary american voter the same way issues like the economy do the same way immigration does and governance at the end of the day we have to look at why donald trump was selected it's because there's dissatisfaction with the system there's no transparency accountability and capitol hill is to blame for much of that but we've not yet addressed that underlying issue and so this continues and perpetuates and can really when you talk about this continuing and perpetuating looking at the international perspective on all this what about the future i mean casey on twitter saying what does the rest of the world think of the fact that produce is a pathological liar who counted to a russian dictator and is now considering sending a u.s. diplomat to russia for interrogation what does this do when president trump cast so much doubt on this specific case whether russian interfered in the u.s. election. when there are future elections around the world at stake whether in chechnya or whether elsewhere around the world certainly the the u.s.

relationship with its allies is changing in large part because of the relationship with donald trump we've seen many of his policies being very insular he was elected on an america first platform he certainly is doing that on a myriad of issues immigration and trade this is no exception but certainly it leaves allies nervous looking for other pathways because there is no longer this belief internationally that the u.s. can be trusted and counted on when it comes to lying politicians well let's be honest probably not the first politician that hasn't told the truth when it comes to u.s. presidents we've got a lot of examples of that but certainly it is egregious and i think if anything and i've certainly said this a number of times what donald trump has done is he has awakened a rather reluctant electorate one that's been a little bit. lazy to it for lack of a better word so the fact that there is engaged now maybe the best thing so far to come out of this presidency looking towards the november elections in congress that's where there is the real opportunity to be for there to be change and for

voters to be engaged so much more new before we get to that november day we will how. we can bring it all we have to follow the conversation there thank you kimberly to see more of what she's covering at the white house including a look at what it's like in the west wing follow her on instagram her handle is that can really help cut d.c. . turning to haiti where al jazeera correspondent gabriel elizondo has been using his instagram account to show some of his reporting on the recent protests there haiti's prime minister has resigned following days of violent demonstrations sparked by the government's decision to raise fuel prices the protests started on friday july sixth after officials announced an increase in prices of up to fifty percent and joining us to talk about this from port au prince economist for al and in new york gabriel is an endo who just returned from covering the unrest in haiti welcome everyone gabe i want to start with you. know on twitter is something this

up in a sense saying i was there in haiti for five days and there was no electricity in my part of town those five days and i was in port au prince after the earthquake in two thousand and ten they didn't give electricity for weeks so the haitian people need a break from the corruption that has plagued our country and you know we've heard from many different people raising these kinds of issues more long term concerns but then fed lee went to this saying that thirty percent hike on gas is a death blow in haiti it would would be like you know if gas prices in the u.s. went to five dollars a gallon could you can text realize this for us why did this happen. yeah listen i mean it's it's this gas hike is more than just a simple hike on gas because it affected all of haitian society it was a hike on gasoline a hike on diesel fuel and also and this is key fifty percent hike on kerosene now you say why is kerosene important because millions of haitians rely on kerosene to power their homes because of

a lack of electricity so you say ok kerosene let's just say it's two dollars per liter i'm just picking that number there it's somewhere around there let's say goes up by fifty cents oh really isn't is that really enough to take the streets and riot well you know what if you're one of the more than six million haitians that lives on less than two dollars a day the simple fifty cent increase in kerosene that powers your home is a big deal and that's why we saw this spiral like the way it did in the gasoline of course affects primarily the business community that have trucks that they use to move their products around the diesel fuel so it affected the middle class it affected the business community and it also. the poor what the kerosene did if this would have gone through east. kassner you hear gabriel there explain how a gas price hike could lead to the fall of a prime minister i pulled out the headline here from al jazeera dot com haiti prime minister jacques uniform thought he resigns after days of protests i'm wondering in

your perspective what you think the mood is like now because of course we saw the protests the violent at times what's the atmosphere what is there still tension and history. it's much better one week. i said what the border started in june i six but i can tell you was that there was a by that time management because the prime minister had. one week after and under pressure from the parliament and also from the private sector in his work to put it when england that it was in is pretty but you know what do. people use it and why is that because only thirty percent of the population in the states and study pers that concentrated in the west and department of this in the. capital so by taking the killers in much more than the guest of.
